Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Tyshina Enters]

As she entered the new area she slowly glanced around. This place was so different than the dorm rooms at school. Yet at the same time they were both alike, since to her all of these things seemed foreign and new. Be it a darker colored room in one place or a place with unique lightening. It all was the same to her, since neither of these places were home.

Home was the circus like environment she had grown up in. A place full of laughs and smiles and plenty of friendships. Plus there she never had to worry about sleeping alone she always had family close by, but here she had no one yet. Would she be able to sleep here? Especially when she came from a place where sleeping in a tent was a luxury for her. Would this really work for the best or worst she wondered, and it was then that she whispered happily but quietly to herself, "Enough. Only positive thoughts from this point on!"

On a plus side she hadn't had to start school yet since she had arrived so late in the day. So luckily she had no homework and she could use this trip as a vacation of sorts!

It was then she started looking for a place to sit down for a bit, with her bag tucked close to her side. It looked as though the more she looked around it appeared they all would be sharing one wonderfully smelling room. So she smiled brightly and walked to the nearest empty stone wall space and sat down with her back against it. It oddly more comfy then she had imagined and as she sat there she watched to see if her new acquaintance Sparrow would walk in or anyone else that looked friendly...

It was then she looked beside her and saw another person who looked alone like she was. He looked a little different from herself but he looked friendly all the same. He had some rat like features and looked very intelligent to her. Well its worth a shot she thought as she turned to them and said with her smile, "Hello there! I'm Tyshina. Sorry if I'm bothering you, I just figured it might be good to try and no someone here. Since I don't really know anyone in here right now...."

Rafael looked up from his reading, startled. He blinked up at her, owlishly, from behind his glasses. "Oh. Oh! Hi!" A slight blush crept up his cheeks and he scrambled up to his feet, his long tail whipping behind him for balance. "I -- I didn't hear you come up. It's n-nice to m-meet you!" He stammered, extending his hand. "I'm R-Rafael. But people call me Rafe. If you want."

He didn't recognize her from before, so she wasn't one of the ghouls that had approached him and Mortimer previously. "Are you a, um, student? At Amityville?"

The plague doctor's phone buzzed again, and it opened it up and read even as yet another text arrived. It laid down, wings spread behind it, and held the phone over its head as it tapped out another reply. This was quite comfortable, actually.



Then, belatedly:

[Entering]

Enzo had... mixed emotions about the decor of the place. The gloom was hip enough, he dug the lighting technique, making notes for some nice mood lighting back at Amityville, but the halls... This is what his critters felt like, he supposed, scurrying about their tunnels.

He was almost starting to miss his natural charisma with the little creatures, this place was certainly filled with enough vermin. It was probably for the best, he would have been quickly overwhelmed.

A pair of students were chatting nearby, another stooped over their phone texting avidly.

He sighed. It was... definitely not the party scene. Maybe he'd have to get some exploring done.

He shook his head. "Me? No, I'm...um, visiting, I guess. I'm...home-schooled, actually. Kind of." He was seriously beginning to wonder if he was the only student in the entire program that was from the exchange program. It was so daunting, not knowing anyone and feeling so far behind in class!

"Do...do you like it? At the school?" He tilted his head. She didn't need to worry about asking too many questions -- he tended to do exactly the same thing! "And, uh...are you hungry? Because I'm hungry, and I have no idea where we're supposed to get food, and I was thinking maybe we could go look for something? So we don't get lost?"

Ooooooh Jack help him, if Taryn got sick on this trip while on his watch, he'd be so frustrated with himself . . . With a grunt he lowered her onto the nearest bed, scratching his head as he lightly paced. Please don't let this be anything serious, please don't let this be anything serious. "Ah, er, n-need anything?" he asked, concerned even while sleepy. "Water? Er, could try find ice if feeling hot, but . . ." This place looked like the last area anyone would look for something cold.

"Mrrrr . . ." He ran a hand through his hair. "Sure? Will st-stay with, just n' case." Because he still felt a little responsible somehow, despite not being on the scene the moment the plants had struck her and Rafe - at the least the plague rat seemed to have done alright; then again, given the name alone he should've figured. Stifling a yawn, the zomboil eased himself onto the foot of the bed, trying his best not to look ready to just curl up on the sheets and go unconscious for an hour or two.

"Not, er, like 'spected. Isles, meaning. Very . . . themed." He didn't know how else to describe it, having seen the jungles of War, the array of colors from Conquest, the volcanic land of Death, and this sandy home of Famine.
