Welcome to Gaia! ::

Perhonen blinked when a blur passed behind him to hide, and he turned to see who it was. His eyes widened when he saw a brightly colored winiko he had never met before. "Hello?" he greeted, turning to face her more fully. "I am Perhonen. May I ask your name?"

Asgard had not really been surprised to be left behind by his housemate - unsurprising but still annoying. He was still plodding after him when he stopped short and flickered his visor in surprise when he was approached and abruptly subjected to the attentions of an excited meiko. He remembered meikos from the war - it was only because of them that it had ended at all. He had to admit he was surprised to see one here, though he supposed it made sense. Demons as a general rule seemed to love a good party, especially winiko - Asgard was the exception.

Asgard waited for a pause in Kaimana's excited chatter before he answered, his voice as mechanical as his appearance, "Designation: Asgard. Species: metallic winiko. Metallic winikos: rare. Only one other known."




( OOC note: It's quite possible that another is buried in the owners list that would qualify as "metallic", and feel free to correct me if that's the case, but I think I own the only two robowinis. Sully would probably give up his Hot Pockets to keep that number at 2 XD )

Galaxias lowered her ears in embarrassment having used this male to hide herself from the drunk winiko. "Galaxias, but you can call me whatever you like." She tried to fake confidence in her voice after her little fright. "Nice to meet you Perhonen. Enjoying the party?" Her ability to strike up conversation with strangers were sub-par. It was no surprise that she hadn't made any friends.

Galaxias eyes followed Perhonen's wings, glued tightly to them. "How do that move like that...?" The words slipped out quietly from her mouth. At the sound of his voice again, she snapped out of her daze to reply. "Sure does. Care for a quick drink with me?" Her tail flickered happily in excitement to have made a new friend. Her actions did not reflect her age at all. She was an elder and still acted like she was a child.

A call for females came from a large, drunken Wini and Selark could only roll his eyes; so far he'd watched a female swatting at another male that had stupidly (he thought, anyway) gotten in her way and as more Winiko arrived, it was only getting more and more chaotic. Still, he couldn't help the amused wink he sent to the first female; she'd been in the right, after all!

"Sorry mate, 's not my way to interfere. Female's usually have the right of it." Was what he'd said when Nebby had given him that beseeching look.

Selark chuckled a bit and helped himself to some of the food as he crowd-watched; in the short time he'd been watching Day and Nebby's interaction, more Winiko had come on into the warehouse. Now there were some handsome males and some lovely females, but it most definitely was very heavy on the testosterone...not that he particularly minded either way.

Selark's attention was pulled in several directions as a new female with lovely horns made her nervous way to the food-laden table near him, even as Nebby and Lilliana - whom he now only had overheard the names of - were greeting each other. "If you're wanting something that'll ease your nerves, Miss, I suggest the ginger-root." Opalesce was his intended target, on that statement.

How very rare - she was shy! Selark couldn't recall the last time he'd met a shy Winiko...actually, he couldn't recall the last time he'd met any other Winiko, for that matter. Mostly because until recently, he had the odd feeling that he'd been Elsewhere.

'Now's not the time to be thinking about silly things,' he said to himself before swishing his tail and taking half a step closer to the lovely purple-y female. "I'm Selark...It's very nice meeting you, miss...?" He waited to see if she would give him her name or if she'd just stand there, head downcast. He couldn't figure out why such a lovely female would be so...hesitant and unsure of herself - but maybe, if he was lucky, he'd find out before the night was through.

With what he hoped was a charming smile, Selark dipped his head at Opal. "Neither am I. This is the first time I've been to a gathering like this one myself." He eyed another morsel of food and contemplated devouring it - or the choice piece beside it - next.

"Well, now you know me."

Kaimana blinked a lot as she listened to Asgard's unusual way of speaking. "I see. A metallic Wini... How interesting." She floated up to hover by his shoulder, almost but not quite resting on it. "Do you always speak in such a..." She paused, tilted her head thoughtfully, and wriggled her claws as she thought about how to phrase it. "Such a measured fashion?" She finally settled on. "And what causes you to glow? It's really pretty looking, I've never seen anything like it before!"

She paused again, then looked embarrassed. "If I'm being nosy, I'm so super sorry. I'm just so curious about demons I haven't met yet, and especially unusual ones! We're such a varied lot, but sometimes I meet some one EXTRA special awesome and it gets me so fascinated... And then I start asking ALL the questions. I am very sorry!"



Erudite turned and sighed, feeling he SHOULD interact with SOMEONE before he risked word getting back to The Human that he'd been in a corner the whole time. He looked around and spotted a green winiko with spines at the refreshment table, who didn't appear to be conversing with anyone. He contemplated the other, then nodded and approached, noticing the scars across one eye. "Hello there. Did your human toss you into this rabble like many of us, or did you choose to come?" He wasn't much for small talk, really, so he had no idea he might sound like an awkward idiot.



Lycenia slid into the party, trying hard not to attract attention. She was shy and nervous, as always, amongst strangers. After she made it though the door, she looked around. Noting the positions of those she resided with, she also noted Nebby, whom she'd met briefly, amongst the crowd. Beyond that, she didn't think she knew ANYONE. Mildly dismayed, she began to move carefully across the floor, in the hopes of not attracting too much attention, with the intent of making it to the refreshments. A snack was JUST what the doctor ordered, and she was going to get one!
