Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I wonder what a color seminar is?"

That's what Amika was asking herself when she was walking towards the room that the seminar was in. With her silvery-tanned hair (from too much sun) and her yellow dress that was accompanied by a golden tank-top shirt, Amika was in no hurry. If anything, she was comfortably walking with no fuss nor hurry -- almost like a daydreamer.


When she opened the door to the room, there were already a few people in there, seated -- one was standing in front of the group, in what Amika thought were strange clothes.

"Oh."


"Am I late?" said Amika as she quietly closed the door and stood there, putting her feet together -- she had on yellow skimmer shoes, by the way.

"Oh" answered Amika. She didn't realize she was late -- but then again, Amika didn't really pay much attention to time.

Amika smiled when the girl forgave her and told her to sit down."Thank you."


"Hi!" exclaimed Amika exuberantly to the other Tabula who sat next to her. Then she looked down and started to think about what was her favorite color. "Hmm...the sun or the moon?" mumbled Amika, deciding better to write down sun's color with moon's color on the paper. "Oh! And..." And then she wrote orange. Her handwriting was sufficient -- it was print with a dash of fast cursive. Some letters seemed to look like others, but Amika didn't notice.

Real peaked in to the seminar knowing he was late. He was wearing a black long sleeve V-neck with a classic deep red Arabic scarf. The black and red looked good with the golden bangles and the faded bash shorts that were torn at the edges. Real was quite observant of the color schemes and combinations of the world so he wasn't completely incompetent in relation to color. The doors were shut and he could hear the instructor's last instruction from outside.

......

He opened the door and a bit of a screeching sound occurred. He walked quietly and picked up a sheet of paper and a black marker. He wrote his name, his favorite color and a reason Gold was his favorite color. Gold is my favorite color because it shines and inspires me. Then he looked for a seat.

Lenneth's attention emmediately turned to the door, sky blue eyes wide with curiosity. She was brought back to the seminar when Amika spoke.
I guess I'll go next, she thought, to go ahead and get it out of the way,...

Her soft voice strugled to reach any great volume - maintaining the gentle coo of a dove, however, even as she forced herself to be heard.
"I like pastel colors, because the are soft, and gentle. Like the dawn sky, or spring time." She then offered a gentle smile. Pastels were also much like her, aswell - or so one could infer.

As he walked in a pale dressed tabula glanced at Real. Real was intrigued by the girl in white. He thought to himself; Why would anyone wear white to a seminar on color.Then he looked down and realized he, himself was wearing black. But her long white dress was so reliving within the blend of colors. She was so elegant Real could not resist sitting as close to her as he could. He approached the seat next to her and sat down. Then he spoke, "I'm Real and I like gold, because it shines and inspires me." He spoke confidence. Then he looked to the girl in white and asked her what her name was.

She gave the black-red-gold Tabula a stern look as he walked in. Being late was inexcusable! Gosh. Hadn't they read that there was a start time? Oh well, one more Tabula was another Tabula, right? Well, actually was he a Tabula? She hadn't been so fancy-dressing right when she was born. Gosh, she hadn't even wanted to wear clothes at all, how horrid!

Okay, so she still was very prone to wanting to run around naked sometimes. But only sometimes. And rarely! Okay. Once a week.

Maybe.

She shook her head to clear it and turned the full brunt of her attention to Amika. It was sort of like a hard breeze in March. "Oh, you like white and yellow and orange," she translated, smiling. "That is a good place to start I think you will do very well." Did she ever even breathe while talking? No, it didn't seem like it. Tanee took a deep breath and slid an orange bangle off her wrist. The others jangled merrily as she passed it down to the summery Tabula. "Thanks!"

Then the white tabula spoke up and she turned her attention there, too. "'Kay," she said, thinking, "Well, they are good colors for you but they do not really often give focal points so we will go over How To Organize An Outfit, later." Already ideas for other seminars were boiling up in her head but she ignored it because she was unfastening a really long silver chain with a white stone on it from her wrist. It had, evidently, been a necklace before she had appropriated it. "Here!" Tanee looped it up a couple of times and jumped down to give it to Lenneth. It was evident that she normally didn't wear so much jewelry that the bandles and bracelets made it almost to her elbow; already, having given away two bracelets and a necklace, the jewelry looked more reasonable.

Her glance slid around to Jaydon and Tanee regarded him quietly. Why wasn't he talking? Well, she thought, he didn't have to if he really didn't want to. Then, back to the maybe-Tabula. "I'm real, too," said Tanee chirpily, perhaps not realizing his name was Real or just being clever. "I like gold too! Here!" And she tossed a gold bangle to him.

Then to Zero, and she listened very attentively, golden-eyed gaze serious as if a wrong answer would make her come over and bite his hair off. "Blue and green," she sumrised, "Your favorites are blue and green." For a second, she seemed thoughtful. She even struck an appropriate pose, one hand on her chin and the tip of her index finger tapping her upper lip. Then she straightened, eyes bright, and shouted, "That's good! Very good, really good because you know what?" Tanee practically leapt around the table to throw her arms around Zero. "Cuz it means you're learning~!" And she deposited a pretty silver bangle with a blue stone onto the table in front of him, but seemed to forget to let go of him.

[I do have images, I'll drop them off in the last post, okay? <3]

"Issokay," said Tanee, smiling. It was a little weird seeing her grin way up at close range- at least, she thought so, from when she was investigating her face. Apparently there were things called "pores" and they were Not Good to be seen. But Tanee didn't see anything when she looked so assumably her face was clear of pores, whatever they were.

She disentangled herself from the younger Tabula and assumed her appropriate-thinking-pose. Then she smiled in a maternal way and said "Yes" in a way that made it very clear she didn't really have to think about it at all. "You should always wear colors you like. You see, colors are important because the colors you like tell people about you. I like rainbow, so you know I am a happy person, and you like blue and green, so I know you are calm. That's how it is. You know because blue and green and purple are cool colors and red and orange and white are warm. I have never really experienced a color actually being cold or warm but they are so-says-the-book-and-me."

Tanee's tone made it clear that her opinion was the most important of the two.

"Ohh...thank you!" exclaimed Amika as she took the orange bangle from Tanee. She felt happy when Tanee said that she did well, but she was elated when she received something! Other than her key (and clothes, but Amika forgot that detail), she hadn't gotten anything from anyone. Then again, Amika didn't know that many people.

But either way, she got an object! Imitating Tanee, she slid it across her wrist and left it there. She moved her hand and the bangle would move with it. Amika was very pleased.



Overhaering what Tanee was saying to the other Tabula about colors, Amika was also pleased to hear that coincidentally two of the colors she had chosen --orange and white-- were considered warm colors. "That means I have the sun's colors on me, yay!"
