Welcome to Gaia! ::

She walked up the long and narrow back-roads to the school. Everything was beautiful, yes, but primitive as well. How could the people enjoy this form of living? It annoyed her to no end until she silenced the thoughts.
Akia gazed about at her surroundings. How primitive they seemed, the careful arrays of hedges and neatly cut grass. Her eyes caught on the many students whom milled about. She shuddered as if touched by something disgusting, a new emotion came to her but was quickly hidden as they always were. How long had she hidden these feelings? Harboring them away from the eyes of the scientists whom milled about and lurked behind every corner? How much longer until she would control them?
Her gaze narrowed. This world ment nothing to her, it was merely her first step toward the destruction of those vile men. Her right fist clenched, how could so many, so innocent, not feel the slime men left behind on everything they did and touched? Akia could not let them know this, if she did so it would be on her own terms.
She started walking toward the information booths and picked up a pamphlet with a smooth grace around her. She stared at it, their were arenas marked on it, but it did not matter much to her. She didn't come her to fight these pitful fools, but rather to escape from the eyes of those whom stalked her all her life. Akia wished to bring the destruction of man, but she knew the only way to do so was to slip away quietly among the crowds. From there she would not need to fight, only to work her way up through those infernal men's system until she reined supreme. In the near future they would be the ones experimented on, her prison would become their homes. Akia felt a brief satisfaction in her thoughts as her right fist clenched even further.
Akia started walking once more, feeling a bit self-conscious as she saw that not all, not even many, of the students had robotic parts. She buried the emotion as she tripped off the path and fell onto the grass with the sound of metal breaking.
"Dammit," Akia whispered as she pushed herself up and let her head hang in shame, "I think I cracked a gear."
Her legs had been ment as to be semi-functional, as the design was ment to be used only in the labs and the gears were rather easy to crack in some areas. Her hands shook, nothing had been going right in her life and now she had cracked a gear. Akia sat up and began looking over the phamphlet and looked over the school map. Perhaps there was a place where she could find a replacement gear? Her hopes faded as she assessed the damage and found that an area, approximate to her ankle, was leaking a dark fluid. Oil.

Akia looked up at the person, nothing was going to get her out of this situation, so she may as well have told the girl.
"I'm human," Akia stated in a monotone, her eyes flashing for a second, "But I lost my legs and so I have robotic replacement's for them.... Some would say I'm a cyborg, which is a rather crude way of putting it."
She hummed for a second, looking back down at her damaged parts before stealing another glance at the person before her. Brown hair which hung about her and almost hazel eyes. A curious combination. They had a sleek and powerful looking frame. They would do.
"My name's Akia and you are?" She asked as she extended her hand not sure what would happen.

"One...two...three...four" Allison sang the rythme of her skipping feet out loud. She walked into school, although to others it may seem like she was floating, with her graceful steps that she had a habit of acting out when she was in a rush. She stopped suddenly as her eyes widened at the sight of a pretty android greeting everyone nears the front doors. She walked calmly toward the android and looked up at it.

"Welcome to Ria High School please show me your acceptance letter so I may give you your student ID."

Allison blinked at what the android had requested for. Crap! I forgot about the letter! she thought as she dropped her bookbag and knelt down, rummaging through it to find the piece of paper. After a few minutes of nothing, defeated, she gave a long sign and sat down on her butt. Cocking her head toward the right she looked at her bag, feeling as if she was forgetting something about it.

"Ah!" she said with realization. She took out her wallet, unzipped it and took the paper heart and unfolded it. "I found it!" she said to no one in particular. She looked up at the android who was spinning around and around and waved the paper up at her. She continued waving until the android's sensor had examined her paper.

"Thank You. Please enter for your official ID."

Allison smiled at the android and stood up. She took the paper ID from her and looked at it.

Finally. High school...

Staring out the taxi window, the young girl felt herself becoming more and more anxious about what lay ahead. "What's out here?" Amelia leaned closer to the window. "Little girl, what's out here?" Her nose almost pressed against the glass while her light blue eyes shimmered. "Hey! Little girl!" Amelia jumped and smacked her face against the window. Squealing and covering her nose with her dainty hands, she turned towards the aggravated driver. "I-I'm sorry... I was distracted..." She said in a muffled voice. "My parents enrolled me in a school here." The taxi driver looked into the rearview mirror to raise his eyebrow at her. "...Out here? But it's all just tree-..." The man fell silent as his brightly coloured vehicle pulled up to an insanely large campus. Amelia's eyes began to sparkle again as her hands fell and her jaw dropped. She jumped out of the car and rushed to grab her bags from the trunk while the taxi driver eyed the counter. As she went to leave, he called out to her again. "You're planning on paying, right?" Amelia felt her face turn bright red. She'd almost forgotten! Dropping her things right then and there, she fumbled through her bag to find her wallet. "How much?" He tapped the counter and her face paled instantly. Looking down at her shaking hands, she pulled out the generous amount of green and handed it over to the driver. He nodded his head and turned his car around.

Amelia gulped back the gross taste left in her mouth from handing over that amount of money and tucked her wallet back into her bag. She grabbed her bags from the ground and turned around quickly (and then stumbled a bit from moving too fast) to stare at the school. It was so big... This was the first time in so long that she could remember going out of the house, let alone to such a magnificent location and campus! She stepped forward to find herself shaking violently. Why was she so nervous? That's a rhetorical question, of course. She hadn't had friends since she was a small child, so the idea of interacting with potential companions suddenly made her knees want to buckle. Taking a few deep breaths to calm her nerves, she continued to walk forward until getting inside the gates. She continued to look around like a tourist until she was knocked out of her stupor by a slightly robotic voice. She turned violently towards the welcoming android and dropped her bags held in her left hand to clutch the fabric of her shirt where her heart would be. As she cooled down a bit, she realized she needed to hand over her papers. She reached back into the mess that is her messenger bag and pushed her way through her belongings until she found the letter. Lilith asked Amelia to fill out some things and Amelia searched through her bag until she found a pen to fill things out quickly and messily. She nodded to the android when things were complete and picked up her bags once again.

Glancing around, she really had no idea what to do next. But as she looked behind her, she saw other people arriving and realized she was standing in their way. The first thing she would do, Amelia decided, was to atleast move off of the path in which she was blocking. Walking over to a bench not far from where she previously stood, Amelia dropped her bags on either side of her feet and kicked the air a bit as she leaned back and absorbed her surroundings. A new school, a new adventure, a new chance, a new life. She was really excited for her stay at Ria High, and couldn't wait to see what would happen to her first.

((OH GOD SO RUSTY. I need to get back into this. T___T))

A very small teen slowly climbed out of her parents' SUV and began walking toward the gates. Her eyes seemed to be plastered to the ground, and if you were close enough to her, you might have been able to hear her near-silent murmurings: "Don't look up. She can't get information if you don't look up. Just don't look up." But, even as she said this, Rajah's eyes rose slowly to glance through her long, black hair. She pulled the strands of hair out of her face, but soon regretted this desicision. For, as she took in her surroundings, Rajah suddenly collapsed to the ground with her hands grasping her head.

"No..." she whispered. "No, Kyaka... not yet... not this soon..." Rajah stayed there, crumpled in a heap, until she could finally open her eyes to the sunlight without almost wailing from the pain. She slowly stood up and walked toward the android.

"Welcome to Ria High School. Please show me your acceptance letter so I may give you your student ID." The android showed no hint of having seen Rajah's collapse, so Rajah decided it was better to act as if nothing had happened.

Rajah unzipped a pocket in her roller suitcase, pulled out the letter, and handed it to Lilith. The android glanced over the letter and said, "So, you're that Eruthian the secretaries have been talking about. Hm... well, have a nice time here at Ria." Rajah was handed her ID, and Lilith hurried off to attend to another incoming student.

Rajah looked around the campus and saw many students chatting and making new friends. As much as she wanted to meet fellow newcomers, Rajah knew that it would be best to keep to herself to avoid any trouble with other students. She again kept her eyes to the ground as she walked to the information table.

"Oh, Rajah..." a dangerously silky voice echoed around in Rajah's head. "Still thinking that you can control me, are you? Well, guess what? You're wrong." Rajah collapsed to the ground for the second time in under fifteen minutes, this time groaning from the pain. "Kyaka... no... not now..."

"Great to meet you Koneko," Akia replied, her eyes narrowing into thin slits and her hair shadowing her face.
This girl clearly wasn't like anyone one she had seen milling around as of yet. No, her eyes seemed much sharper then the few others, and if the eyes were the gateway to the soul, then this was one dangerous person she was speaking too. So many aspects would need to be seen before she made her final verdict on weather Koneko could be seen as friend or foe, but Akia was willing to wait if she must.
"It's not that different I imagine, but I don't remember what was different about having real feet. I suppose their better for somethings, they don't get too cold or too warm, have their own qualities, but as to everything, there is a down side such as damage," Akia continued as her mind wandered endlessly, "Her frame is different from most others, and, assuming that most here aren't simply humans, then she isn't as well.... Just what is Koneko? She's not all human, that is surely true, but she isn't a beast either, or a shifter. And that's just in looking, but should I see beneath the glass, then what shall I find? Something I can ally with? Or something I must fight?"

Akia uttered a nervous laugh in response. Normally things like this didn't phase her in such a way, however she was throughly handicapped. If she had to fight, she would have it on her own terms, and this was not one of them. Upon examining Koneko further, she found that in a way, the girl was playing with her. Like a cat with its quarry. Akia laughed a little, she would never be the prey. That was one of her subgoals in life.
"Did you just arrive here today Koneko?" Akia asked with a grin as she shifted her wight onto better faring leg.

The clouds rolled gently along the bright blue sky, blocking the sun momentarily as they drifted along. Sawyer thought how comfy they must be, much comfier then the ground he laid on. His right hand brushed along the small dirt patch which he laid on, he sighed in frustration as he thought of how he had gotten there on that patch of dirt. He tilted his head to the left and peered at his things that were scattered around him. The trunk which held all his things lay open to the right; his clothes, books and possessions spread along the dirt. With another sigh he turned back to the sky and looked up, the cloud blocking the rays of light from touching the ground was almost gone, and light would be pouring from the heavens all over him. His left hand moved slightly and gripped the tip of a picture. Pulling it to his face, as he looked at it and as a smile spread across his face the sun reappeared out from under the blanket of cloud.

He quickly stood and brushed off his clothes of the dirt. Placing the photo in his back pocket, he began to pick up his belongings again, tossing them in the trunk before he closed and locked it. Sawyer picked up the one end of it and slowly began to drag the trunk behind him as he made his way into the school. He quickly gave his letter to the android that approached him and left without a word towards the school. He stopped for a moment once within the gates and placed the trunk down. Sitting down on it, he pulled out a pack of smokes from his jacket and lit one up. Taking a drag, the smile still sat on his face as he peered around at most of the new students.

"This is bound to be...very interesting"
