Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haru walks towards the school and says quietly "I gotta say...kinda big...well i might as well get to class..." He starts to walk towards the front door then stands still for a moment and says "it's quiet...too quiet...something isn't right about this place..."

Climbing up the last of the huge front steps to the DWMA, Naoko slumped backward, sitting on the top of her heavy suitcase. Taking a few moments to catch her breath, the young girl pushed some stray purple strands out of her eyes before glaring upward at the laughing sun in the sky.

Muttering to herself, "Useless thing. The least you could do would be to provide some heat..." Pulling off her heavy mittens, she blew into her cupped palms, rubbing her hands together in a futile attempt at some warmth. Shaking her head, she yanked her mittens back on, before standing and grabbing the handle on her case again.

Dragging the heavy thing forward across the plaza, Naoko looked around curiously, taking in the sights. She had never been to the Academy before, though she had heard much about it. Finally old enough that her parents could bear to let their little baby leave home, she was eager to explore a whole new environment. She was suppose to have traveled with her brother helping her along the way, but as usual, he had ditched her at the first opportunity and left her to find her way on her own.

She hadn't minded, too much, though, assuming her wasn't going to help her with her luggage. For some reason, he simply didn't appear to need nearly as much clothing and such, and Naoko was beginning to regret taking all her favorite outfits. Maybe a few less would have still been ok?

"No use for it now, I'm already here." She said to herself, getting to main front doors. "But... where is everyone else...?"

Yuki looked up at the huge building as she dragged herself up the last few stairs. {wah! So tired, need, to, rest here now}she sat down, putting down her duffle bag next to her. "not many people, maybe I'm early."she thought aloud, looking around. "well whatever, I'm tired and hungry and...I think I have time, I am early after all" she reached in her bag and grabbed one of her bento boxes, she made six ahead of time before she left.

Sakura stands and watches for a moment then seeing Haru coming she runs up to him and says "Your late Again!" Haru takes a step back and says "I had prior ingagements. I see you got here unscathed." He tuslles her hair playfully and then seeing the others stops and says "Afternoon, How goes it."

Naoko blinks in surprise at the bento box being offered to her. Fumbling for a moment, she jams the closed thermos into her pocket before carefully grabbing the offered box with her mitten'd hand. After giving the other girl her cup of cocoa, she stripped off her heavy gloves to hold the box in her slightly shivering hands.

"They're still warm! Are they fresh?" Opening the lid, Naoko made little squeals of happiness when she saw the neatly arranged food. Pulling a pair of cute, snowflake-designed chop sticks out of her bag, she sat down on her suitcase and started digging in.

"This is really good! Did you make this?" Chewing for a few moments, she pointed with her chop sticks at Yuki's duffel bag.

"Are you a new student, too? Maybe we can be friends!"

"nope! I just keep them warm in my bag."Yuki answered closing her duffle-bag.~"yes I did!^^"Yuki said with a slight trace off a smile on her face,"I do a lot of cooking since I've lived alone since I was 8"she said looking up at the sky, smiling, trying to hide the crack in her voice and succeeding.~ "yea! Sounds fun! (^w^)"she said, putting her empty bento box and chopsticks in her bag. She loudly yipped(?) as she felt someone stepping on her tail."ow! What the hey-hey!"(lol it's one of her catch-phrases)she turned to see who the firetruck(also a catch-phrase) was on her tail.~<(anyone can jump in now and be the mystery person stepping on my tail{[don't worry, I won't hate ya for it, accidents happen in RPs too ya know]})>~

Max slowly walks up too the schools entrance, a large smile forming on his face as he takes in his surroundings, "Yes, this is it, the academy. I finally made it." he says as he begins to saunter towards to door on the edifice of the building. "Ahhh, the people I will meet... And the battles we shall have! It makes my heart pump just thinking about it, best calm down before I get too excited." states max as he opens up the door, passing harmlessly by the gaggle of other new arrivals on his was.
