Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I'm going to be honest these pics were supplied to me by Pdragon so I have no close who they really are
but now that i have had time i'm using my own pics)

Akira remained silent as they made their way to class, unphased by Penelope's silent treatment as Akira already preferred not to talk if possible. It was clear that despite their relationship improving, it wasn't exactly the smoothest. When they approached the class and Penelope announced he could make it the rest of the way Akira nodded and helped Penelope slide down off her shoulder and back to the ground. However the little boy quickly lost his footing and fell to the ground, resulting in a sigh from Akira. When he motioned for her to come down to his level Akira got down on one knee, making them eye to eye, or as close to it as they'd be able to get without Akira getting into a slightly ridiculous pose. "what is it?" she asked, calmly this time instead of her usual stern tone of voice.

Camory Cheifer

Hazard Squad

"they say an ounce of honey is worth a cup of vinegar...."

Camory blushed as he explained himself. "y-you thought I looked a-adorable?....that's really sweet" she said bashfully, letting out a small embarrassed whine as Oli pinched her cheek. When he suddenly called her cammy and said they needed to get to class Camory pouted. "jeez can't I at least get a fancier name than Cammy? Like Camellia or something? I mean I'm worth more than a Cammy to you aren't I?" she asked, as if there were some sort of value system in place for names, one that Oliver was obviously aware of. When he mentioned Penelope however Camory cocked her head to the side. "Penelope? why?...speaking of which where did Penelope and Akira go anyways?" she asked looking around, though the two were allready long gone down the hallway. "I guess they went on ahead of us-whaa!? wait Oli I..." she stammered when Olivia suddenly grabbed her hand and led her down the hallway out of the cafeteria. "...I-I haven't really prepared myself for holding hands with a guy yet..." she finished meekly, though it wasn't really all that unpleasant. After all it was still Olivia's hand, so it felt strange and foriegn, yet familiar at the same time. It didn't really make sense but then again not much did concerning today. When he suddenly glanced over at her and stole a kiss on her cheek before she could react Camory blushed a deep red and her hold on his hand tightened. "t-that's not fair...you can't just kiss me as a guy and then say something romantic like that, because then...t-then I'll start to get attracted to you even though your a guy, then I'll definitely never be manly at all" she stammered, her heart pounding as her mind and heart were conflicted. Half wanted her to just go with it and return Olivia's kiss, the other half was still uncertain about doing that kind of stuff with a guy. "being a man in a girl's body sure is tough huh?" she thought, was this how lesbians felt?

"....wait this recipe's in metric...Olivia! Heeeeeeeeelp!"

Basili Tenmaru

Basili sighed as she made it back into Herbology. There weren't many people back to class yet it seemed, and no sign of Segarus at all. Still his spirits had risen somewhat when he spotted a boy with long pink hair waving at him. "Melody!" he chimed, taking the spot next to him. "i was starting to worry what had happened to you while we were off searching for that creep in mask. Did anything happen?" he asked, sounding concerned. However even as he was asking if he was allright Basili's eyes decided to do some multi tasking and where now checking out Melody's new body. He was really cute, so much so it was hard to tell he had actually become a guy at all. "hey your kinda quite, is your throat messed up again or something?" he asked.
(gotta admit you got me there Meta, and trust me you'll have plenty of things to do before the night is done....mwuhahahahhaaahaha)





Ashura chuckled at the boy's delayed response. "good, I'll be sure to teach you everything you need to know then" he said, mostly likely not just talking about petting between the ears anymore. He saw the pursing of Cherie's lips as an invitation for his kiss, so did so without pause or regret. He saw the boy's cheeks redden as their lips pressed together, and smiled a bit when he felt the neko's tail wrap around his hand, as if not wanting him to stop or let go. He pulled back for just a moment and looked into Cherie's eyes. "relax, my little pet. I'm here for you now" he whispered, pulling his head forward into another kiss, this time deeper and more passionate. However halfway through their kiss Cherie would find himself standing upright, as well as a lack of lips glued to his own. When he'd open his eyes he'd see that he had been plopped down in the middle of Herbology class, still making a dreamy kissy face in front of everyone. On his desk infront of him was a small folded up note that read.

sorry to drop you off like this, but you can't be excused from your classes just so you can do naughty things with dark, handsome strangers. Due well in class, maybe if your good I'll give you an extra reward tonight wink

Zali' Usvine "professor Birch"

Herbology teacher

Zali' walked into her Herbology class and looked around at the half full room, new students walking in every few seconds. "well it seems due to the excitement we'll have some kids stumbling into class over the course of the hour, so no use trying to wait for all of them. Yes as you all know the school's been through a bit of an incident thanks to the still unidentified assailant, but the situation has been handled and we can all go back to our normal schedule now. I'm sure all of you are still adjusting to your latest augmentations, but please don't try to let it become a distraction, and also please try to keep from making out with the air" she said, the last part referring to Cherie who had just suddenly appeared in his seat, making hazzy kissy faces, as if he had been in the middle of some dream or particularly steamy encounter. "anyways back to the lesson shall we? I figured since there have been so many transformations going on that I'd show you a special plant. The Hermeous Mora, or Morphing Plant" she said, reaching under the desk and taking out an odd purple fern like plant. Its leaves seemed to shimmer in the light, and actually started shifting in colors for a sort of rainbowy hue. "The Hermeous Mora is one of the best plants for survival as it has such amazing potential to blend in with its environment. It actually has small ocular cells lining is leaves that allow it to percieve its surroundings and change them accordingly. This can range from changing color to match that of a nearby toxic plant, blending into the ground to go unseen, or in some spectacular cases" she said touching her finger to it. Suddenly the plant's leaves actually began to harden and turned into the same bark like substance that made up Zali's outer shell, including the swirls of green energy running through the wood. "it can actually morph its entire physical structure to match its surroundings. This makes the Hermeous Mora both incredibly hard to find, and at the same time insanely valuable for its many applications, including transformation potions, invisibility potions as well as polishes for cloaks and other apparel. It can even be implemented as a sort of quick activating armor, staying as a lightweight material for normal movement, and then hardening into a stronger substance once fighting has started" she explained.

Melody Von Serigate


"I don't want to talk about it" Melody said simply as his voice was now in a deeper more masculine tone on that did not suit his looks at all. He turned away from Basili after he spoke afraid to see his reaction to his new voice.
"I hope this isn't permanent I don't like having a deep voice" Melody stated embarrassed at his own voice.
"Did you manage to find who ever was doing this?" Melody asked Basili

Akira went silent as Penelope hugged her and thanked her for saving him. When he smiled Akira reached out and rested her hand on his head. "I'm sorry you had to see that Penelope, and I hope I never let you get in a position where you'll have to see it again." she said, regret pooling in her eyes as she stared at him. "be safe allright?" she said, actually sounding concerned for him. When he ran off Akira let out a sigh and turned to return to the MCA main office, this event was gonna take alot of paper work.

Camory Cheifer

Hazard Squad

"they say an ounce of honey is worth a cup of vinegar...."

Camory pouted at Olivia when he insisted on calling her Cammy. "fine! whatever you say O-li-ver!" she retorted, childishly sticking her tongue out at him. Camory was walking along normally until Olivia suddenly stopped, forcing her to do the same. When he chewed her out for making a big deal about their gender change Camory averted her gaze and rubbed her arm like a child being scolded. "but...I mean....I'm sorry Oli..." she whimpered, unable to get a word in edge wise. Was he mad at her now? She guessed she deserved it, but still this was a weird situation, and any guy would be a bit weirded out if their girlfriend suddenly turned into a guy. Ofcouse Olivia wasn't shaken because he allways saw Camory as a girl anyways, and he wasn't even trying to be understanding. "so abusive..." she muttered under her breath through pouty lips. When he asked what she meant by being attracted to her Camory continued to figet about, the only thing changing was that her face turned redder. "w-well I mean your a guy....and its weird for guys to be attracted to other guys right? I mean you still look like Olivia, but at the same time you look alot different. its weird.....I mean your not weird at all....its all my fault...." when he said that he was still attracted to her even though she was a girl Camory actually started to tear up and hugged him. "Oliiiiiii...I'm so sorry I'm such an idiot.....I didn't mean it like that I swear!...I'm just really stupid and can't do anything right, and I over think things all the time and get really awkward and then I end up saying stupid things because I don't know how to control my mouth and then you'll hate me and I won't be able to be your wife anymore" he said, allready starting to go off on a completely different topic. "E-even if its weird to be interested in boys, I'll do my best to still be attracted to you no matter what you look like!" she said determinedly, not making herself look any less foolish. "I'll all ways like girl Olivia best, but that doesn't mean I won't hold a place in my heart for Oliver to....so p-please....go ahead and do whatever you want with me.....I'm yours after all" she said blushing harder, tears in the corner of her eyes. To anyone else passing by the hallway they'd probably think Olivia was trying to force her to do strange things against her will, some people were even starting to whisper and mutter things all ready.

"....wait this recipe's in metric...Olivia! Heeeeeeeeelp!"

Basili Tenmaru

Basili covered his mouth and tried his hardest to hold in a laugh when he heard how deep Melody's voice had gotten. It didn't seem to fit his pretty boy appearance let alone her actual feminine voice. He ended up snorting a bit as he clenched his eyes tight, trying very hard not to laugh. "it's allright. right before he died the masked man said it would only last till tomorrow, so don't worry about it, and yeah the teachers all took care of it. I would have helped but I got distracted fighting off some neko traitor" he said with a sigh. He turned his attention to the teacher when he walked in and started the lesson, though Basili's eyes ended up wandering back to Melody. That's when out of the corner of his eye he spotted him, that god damn neko traitor had puffed into class, making weird kissy faces. Granted Basili made weird kissy faces all the time, but atleast he was sane enough to do it at OTHER PEOPLE, and not just thin air. What a freak. The teacher even called him out on it, which got a laugh out of Basili. He watched as the boy buried his face in his desk, thoroughly embarrassed. Basili turned his attention back to class when suddenly a little boy came up to him. "yeah that's me. what do you want kid?" he asked, resting his chin in his hand and not even giving the boy his full attention. Obviously enough he hadn't realized it was Penelope yet. When the boy asked to explain what was going on Basili shrugged. "Same thing that's been going on all day. What you spend the whole day locked in your room or something squirt?" he whispered, obviously not paying this boy much mind. He was kinda cute though, though honestly Basili all ready had a cute little kid type of his own that he had his sights on. Plus who knows if he'd still be that cute when he turned back to normal.

Zali' Usvine "professor Birch"

Herbology teacher

Zali' nodded as Cherie raised his hand and commented on the plant. It was nice that atleast someone was paying attention to class. "yes a very apt comparison. In fact Hermeous Mora had a relative plant species that's commonly reffered to as the Chameleon Bush for its color changing abilities. Infact eating the aptly named Chameleon fruit off of this tree will cause your skin to change colors vividly. However the Morphing Plant has a much higher range of alterating effects, and is thus more prized. Still Chameleon Fruit juice can be turned into a very nice multicolored ink" she explained. She then carefully took the leaves of the plant and began gently plucking them off, taking one for each student. "now it would be obviously problematic if I showed you all how to make morphing or invisiblity potions this early in the year. Most of you are still a bit...less mature than something like that would require. However I can show how to make a potion that will allow you to make minor augmentations to your body. This can range from a small change of eye color, to removing racial traits, to even changing what you fleshier creatures refer to as...reproductive organs." she said as she placed a single leaf infront of each person. She then went back up to the board and wrote up a quick recipe.

1 finely mashed Hermeous Mora leaf
1 cup aloe water
3 drops of blood
1 sample of desired body part

"now this recipe at first glance may seem a bit...well scary. However understand that each ingredient plays an important role. The Hermeous More incites the change, the aloe water soothes the body and prevents the altered body part from from doing any harm, the drops of blood make the newly changed part compatible to your body so there is not rejection effect, and ofcourse the sample is so the potion knows what part it is altering. For this reason every potion is specifically designed for your own body, so its important to NEVER drink a potion made with someone elses blood, trust me its not pretty. As for the sample you can use something simple, a piece of hair from your head, a few tears to alter your eyes, and a few scrapings of skin cells to alter a specific part of your body. Obviously this means that altering internal organs can be both difficult and potentially dangerous, keep that in mind when you decide what you choose to alter" she finished. "all of you can go ahead and take the reminder of the class to create your own morphing potions. Please have them done before the bell"

Camory Cheifer

Hazard Squad

"they say an ounce of honey is worth a cup of vinegar...."

Camory whimpered a bit as Olivia continued to lecture her, but nodded in understanding. When he knelt his forehead up against hers Camory chuckled and nuzzled back a little, feeling alot better. It was probably good that Olivia was so serious all the time, otherwise Camory would have no one to snap her back to reality when she went off on tangents. "ok...I understand..." she said with an innocent smile, as if the past five minutes hadn't happened at all. However as she followed close behind Olive she still had something weighing down on her mind. "umm....Oli..." she asked, not sure how to say it. "do you...like it when I look like a girl?....I mean you say you all ways think of me wearing dresses even as a guy, and when I had to wear that maid outfit you said it looked 'right' on me....are you sure you don't really swing that way?" she asked. Olivia said she wasn't gay, but she was really tomboyish and she seemed to really like how girly he allways acted. "I m-mean its just that I allways say I want to be more manly, but if you like me like this than.....I'd be willing to stay a girl for you...at least I mean act like one and wear dresses for you and stuff.....I mean not in a weird way or anything....I mean.....is that weird?.....its weird isn't it? I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything I'm sorry" she said, right back to fumbling over her words.

"....wait this recipe's in metric...Olivia! Heeeeeeeeelp!"

Basili Tenmaru

Basili smirked as Professor Birch explained what the potions were capable of. The snake prince turned to Melody with lustful eyes. "maybe we can change your voice back with one of those potions....or better yet we can make you more like a girl again" he said, obviously he had been paying more attention to Zali' remark about augmenting reproductive organs than to anything else. When the boy refused to leave and instead started pouting Basili turned back to him and raised an eyebrow. "well sorry what did you want me to say?" he responded, a bit annoyed. When Elora floated up to him and waved her little finger at him Basili took a double take at the little boy. "wait...Penelope!?" he stammered. Immediately Basili's attitude took a 180 and he picked the boy up into a tight hug and sat him down on his lap. "jeez I was wondering where you've been. Don't scare me like that ok?" he said, ruffling Penelope's hair and cuddling him like a big teddy bear. "you know I bet if we found some girl clothes we could make you look like a girl again. You'd make a really good trap" he "complimented" if it could really be taken as one. He glanced back at the board and held up the leaf, the leaf's color turning paler to match Basili's skin. "Hey Penelope why don't we see of we can use that potion to make you a girl again? that way we can have some fun until tommorow rolls around" he teased, though he was actually half serious about it.

Zali' Usvine "professor Birch"

Herbology teacher

Zali' chuckled as Cherie once again raised his hand. "oh no you'll find that things are never that simple when it comes to brewing potions. There is a process to everything" she said, extending out one of her vines to grab a far away piece of chalk, once again she began writing out instructions. "first you must all take your mortar and pestels and grind the Hermeous Mora leaves into a very fine pulp. Then you must temper the plant to your body by adding three drops of blood. It is important that you add exactly this much. To little blood and your body won't recognize the altered body part as your own and reject it, but to much and your body will confuse the altered part as one of your naturally grown parts, and thus the potions effects will remain permanent. When you've add the blood make sure to mix it with the pulped Morphing leaf. Then your going to want to take a mesh filter and a pot. Fill the pot with Aloe water and heat it up until boiling. Then your going to place the pulp mixture into the filter and fold it into a bag. After that you will simply brew the pulp bag in the pot of aloe water as if making tea, and after about 5 minutes the properties of the Hermeous Mora should have fully soaked into the water, creating the potion. The potion if brewed correctly should be a very thin liquid that constantly shifts in color, displaying many vibrant hues. Once that is complete simply add your choosen body part into the potion, shake well, and when you are ready drink. The potions affects will last approximately 2 hours using the pulp of a single leaf, adding more will increase the duration but for the purposes of class you will only be getting one. It is also important that when you drink the potion that you visualize exactly what kind of change you want to the body part in question, if you leave your mind blank or scrambled then the effects might end up being random." she said, writing all of this down as she said it.

Basili Tenmaru

Basili pouted a bit when Melody opted just to fix her voice. "fine whatever. I'm sure Penelope's more than happy to be my girl right?" he asked, coddling Penelope some more.

Zali' Usvine "professor Birch"

Herbology teacher

Zali' glanced over to Melody and pointed to the instructions she had allready written out on the board. "you simply drop it into the potion once the other steps had been completed then shake well. If your asking how to get a sample however that greatly depends on what you want to change. I you want to change part of your eyes simply use a few tears, if you want to change your hair then a lock or two of it should work. However if you want to change your skin or part of an organ you'll need a tissue sample of it. Which means you'll have to take a small wooden scrapper and scrap off a few cells from it. Be careful if you intend to do that with your throat however, don't need you gagging yourself in the middle of class." she warned.

Cherie

Cherie shrugged chuckling lightly, well he figured that, it'd be dull if it was so easy, there'd be too much time left after you finished and would be bored or something. Watching as Zali was writing out the instructions, looking off to the side a bit, on the desktop there, as with the others, there was a mortar and pestle. Picking up the leaf, twirling it between his fingers looking at its color changing to his skin color. Still listening to the explanation, just not looking up at the board at that moment. 'Okay...so first thing's first,' taking the weird stone bowl and the grinder part, dropping in the leaf. Looking into it, while rolling the grinder part over the leaf, watching it break apart and smush around. Soon having it mushed into a fine pulp and raised a hand looking at his thumb. That seemed a better spot to get it, more fleshy and plump to get the blood from. Using one of his nails and pressed hard. Flinching lightly breaking the skin and watched the blood pearl up a little. Moving his thumb over the leaf mush and squeezed his thumb watching one, two, three slow drops fall into the mush. Pulling his hand back and wiped off his thumb from the little bit of blood still there. Standing and went from the desk to get the other supplies, taking the bowl with the leaf mix and his blood and set it near the other things. Getting to the pot and filling with aloe water and lit that little bunsen burner thing under the pot to start it boiling. Putting the other mixture into the mesh filter and folded it into a teabag like thing while the water was heating. Looking over to see it was boiling and turned off the flame so it wasn't overboiling and put the mix into it letting it steep in like tea. Taking it back to his seat, setting it on the desk to wait. Looking at it to see if it looked how Zali said it should, it'd be a few minutes though. Cherie was thinking still that he'd just have it do something like change his hair color, but then what color since Zali said they had to visualize it. Finally settling on an idea he looked in seeing the mix looking like it should, it was odd though all the same this whole potion they were all making. Finishing up with plucking out a hair from off his head and dropped it in, mixing it up. Drinking it back, visualizing the color change to his hair. Of course after having drank it, Cherie didn't know if it worked. Ears twitching, raising his hand tugging his hair a little eyes rolling up to look but gave up and started digging through his bag. Finally finding a little hand mirror holding it up and laughed a bit. It was now teal colored it looked funny. "Haha, it worked...so cool."
