Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a quick bath, Chae dried the child off, and pulled the kimono out of the closet. Showing it to her, she watched the childs' eyes widen in appreciation.

The Kimono was a pearly white that matched the alabastor of Shiva's skin. Delicately stiched with golden thread and patterned with cranes, Chae brushed out invisible wrinkles. "Like?"

The child nodded solemnly. *Like*

"Good." she sat down and patted her lap. "Time for the hair then, kiddo."


Shiva came around eagerly and let Chae prush out her blue black locks.

Remembering images of how some wore hair in a traditional style, Chae pulled it back as if to use the normal ponytail, but allowed the sides to hang loosely in waves. Then she pinned it up on top, using ornately colored shelled combs. When she was done, she smiled in delight.

"I think we are done now. Want to get dressed? Then we can go."

Scagg flushed slightly at all the people, but grinned. "Sure thing, luvs! Now line up an' watch me as I show ya a lil move I picked up in the fourth quad." He started out slowly, waving his arms in the "Wave" motion and moving his hips. Ice bit back a laugh, following his lead gamely.

"I feel..." Loki growled to Ice, noticing that his persopet was laid out on the side laughing his head off, "like a complete idiot."

"Loosen up, Lok, you only live once." Ice replied.

Cinder laughed slightly as she followed the big man's motions. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Looking up she notices that they are standing under one of the strings holding the flowers they had put up earliers. Cinder reaches up and grabs a few of the flowers, placing one behind her own her ear she then hulas her way toward Scagg. Waiting for the big man to slow a bit from his instruction, she hoped up and tucked a flower behind his ear as well, "There this seems very festive and I think it will definantly help with the instruction." Cinder then Hulas back to her spot in line and continues to listen to the instructions. The whole time she has her masque strapped to her side so he can learn also.

Scagg stuttered, flushing brightly and missing a step when Cin gave him the flower. He coughed, then went back to his teaching when he heard Loki snort.

Ice kept dancing, tossing in a little "Tail dance" for the heck of it. This was the kind of thing she had been looking forward to, after all. She just wish Io had been in a better mood...

The flowers sent a draft of perfume through the air, the tiki lamps sending a glow over the scene that made the man watching it smirk slightly as he flicked the ash off his cigarette.

He was sitting in a tree, leaning against the trunk, his foot propped up on the branch in front of him. His last job had been murder... actually, it would have been a hell of a lot easier if it had been murder. Bagging a runaway horse of a dog with a yappy owner was more like hell in his opinion. It made this place feel oddly peaceful.

Silva took another drag, wondering idly where she had sent his lackies... then shrugging and wondering how he could rade the buffet table without being noticed.

He wasn't ready to kill them all just yet, after all.

Kaliksa looked up from flipping fresh patties, after having put the cooked ones on a plate. "Sure thing. I'm up for mood music."

"Yeah that would be great I love music and singing my self!" Pam said to Kata as she hulaed towards her so she could hear her better.

Ice glanced over to where she had set up the auto rotater with the beast and shrugged. "Might be a little while longer. I want to make sure it's cooked all the way through." She called over, still dancing.
