Welcome to Gaia! ::

Myze was relieved to feel the cool air of the museum, deciding then and there she'd avoid going back outside for the time being. It was as if it were a sneaky trick to get her to stay around all of the activities, even. Both her and Ecavi settled for watching Ballentine and Roxy with the relic, not minding that they'd come at a busy time. Even Myze's mind drifted back to when they'd first gone into Ecavi's care at the sight of the relic- that had been when they'd met Lucas and Raul.

Her violet eyes narrowed slightly at the thought of Raul, she'd almost forgotten about him. With a sniff, she turned her attention elsewhere for now, wondering whatever happened to that little man who'd taken care of them while they waited for Ecavi to arrive that day.

Ceri spotted Saedare easily out of all of the people and grinned widely. Never one to be shy, or doubt a first impression she had, she hurried towards the busy thule. When she was only a short distance from her, she waved and greeted her quite loudly, "Hello!"

Curiously she glanced at the clipboard under Saedare's arm before smiling up at the thule.

Kay hurried up to the back of the crowd, halfway through the speech. She strained to see over the top and managed to catch sight of a woman standing in front of the podium. Was that the Ms Ballentine who had been sending all the letters? She guessed so.

"Well guys, I think this is it." She told the pair of Adu girls standing with her.

"Is it? Where? Where?" Squeaked the firey one. She turned this way and that, trying to see past all the legs of other people and then decided that Kay would provide a better lookout point.

Tugging at her leg, she continued until Kay bent down to scoop them both up.

"Yay!" Nuria cried but feel quiet again as Danica shot her a look. Oh yeah, someone was speaking so she ought to be quiet til they finished.

Danica turned away from her sister and looked about from high up on Kay's shoulder. From here she could see to the museum's front doors. And there were lots of other people about and she caught glimpses of other thule though with the shifting bodies she couldn't quite recognise them. Oh well, no doubt she'd meet up with some inside.


The speech over, Kay lowered the twins to the ground and shifted her camera back over her shoulder before taking hold of Nuria's and Danica's hands and heading in with the rest of the people. She wanted to get some shots of the event for her records.. err, album.

"Come on guys, let's see what we can find. Did any of those things sound fun? What do you want to do first?" She asked, as she wandered over to the Information desk and picked up a map and leaflet. There were a few others about and she spotted someone walking off with a stone-like object held close.

"Say... was that a relic?" She asked the bored looking thule sitting at the desk.

Nuria was practically bouncing along. "Oh yes! Games! And food! Oh oh, but I'd like to get my face painted first!" She giggled. "All kinds of colours and things."

She could barely stand still as Kay picked up some papers and things and so eagerly looked about at everyone else. There were other thule here too! A pair she thought she remembered from the sleepover were heading off to an older looking thule. There was something familiar about that one too but she couldn't quite work out what it was. And then there were others that she didn't recognise at all.

One of them, an excited looking one much like herself, was hugging another and being friendly. Well she wanted to be friendly too! Hurrying over to join them, she grinned. "Hi hi! Isn't this great? I've never been to an anner, an anniver... a party like this! Oh what's your name?"

Not wanting to miss any information, Danica reached up on the table and grabbed her own brochure and map. Turning back, she stared intently at it, though her reading skills were minimal. Still, she wanted to look like she knew what she was doing, and the map was pretty interesting to look at.

Hmm... the lady with the speech had mentioned a magic show. That sounded good. She'd like to watch that, and then perhaps try and figure out how it was done. Spotting the 'speech lady' she wandered up to her and asked as 'grown-up-like' as she could. "What time does the show start?"

(( I think I like the orange font for Nuria. Goes well with Danica's blue. xd ))

Nuria beamed at pale boy. Well if the other friendly thule was making friends with the sea-green one, then she'd have this one! She looked at him closer. He had pretty swirls on his face, a bit like her lava-like markings. Oh she liked him even better!

"Dyaus? Hello Dyaus. Oh! I'm Nuria. And my sister there is Danny. Well she doesn't like being called that. Her real name is Danica." She told him. "Are you new? Have you been to the museum before? I have. It's really big and has skeletons and things in it. But today there's all games and stuff!"

Danny, busy with her important question-asking, didn't pay much attention to her sister and the new thule. She'd come over and meet them when she was ready.

Gaspar held the crumbled piece of paper in his hand while Carlos opened the door with a swing and grinned expectantly. The green Thule had no intention to get here at all, because it sounded like a strange party, but after he had realized that there might be food for FREE...

Carlos smiled. His hair had grown a bit and he constantly pushed some bangs out of his eyes to see properly. His wings were fluttering in excitement as he looked out for anyone familiar. Oh how lucky he was ! With a squal he waved at the known Aduthule and also at the unknown people. Wasn't there Tymiko ? Why was she accompanied by someone.

Gaspar watched a certain pair with interest. Wasn't that his tail over there ? Why didn't the person match the tail anymore. He pouted.

Undaunted by his absent-mindedness, Nuria gave a small wave to Kay and Danica before trailing after the sky thule. She ran to catch up with him and wondered where he was going.

"What's not a good idea? The games? Sure they are! Games are fun! But... the games are that way..." She looked back over her shoulder and pointed to the other side of the building where some rather interesting games appeared to be set up and ready." "Which way are you going? If you've never been outside the lobby you might get lost." Though she really didn't know the layout of the museum herself either.

Danica glanced up when she noticed her sister depart. Well the other Thule she was tailing didn't seem all that interested in her but Danica knew Nuria wasn't likely to give up just like that... either that or she didn't realise.

While she had her eyes lifted from the leaflet she spotted another pair of Thule come in. Hey... wasn't one of those the one who'd nearly burnt his hand? And she'd cooled it?

As Nuria's word's reached his ears, Dyaus stiffened and jerked around, as if he hadn't realized she had been following. "Oh! It's you again," he said, stating the obvious. "Uh...games?" What games was she talking about now? That was right; the museum games. "Yeah, yeah, games are fun...but can't I go get some chocolate first?" he whined. "I haven't had that stuff since...well, I can't remember, but I just...it's so familiar..." His wings fluttered slightly, as if they might lift him off and carry him to the chocolate table all of their own accord.

As the fire thule cautioned him about wandering off, however, he paused a moment, then offered her an arrogant smirk. "Hey, we've got wings! How hard can it be to get around this place? Besides, I never get lost." The confidence in his voice was so convincing, Dyaus whole-heartedly believed his own words and became smug over such knowledge. "Now where's that chocolate...ah! There it is...doesn't look like there are any polar bears around..." he mumbled qietly to himself as he turned a corner and spotted the table.

His mouth watered at the sight, and pretty soon he was piling a paper plate high with everything covered in milk chocolate. The dark chocolate looked interesting, so he tried that to, and found to his great delight it had a much richer taste than ordinary chocolate. There was also white chocolate, but he didn't dare try that; it looked more like something Lamar would have liked. Again, he seemed to forget about Nuria until he had sampled just about everything on the table. Glancing up, he rememebered there was someone he had been talking to, and, spotting her easily where he had left her, grinned messily, his mouth and teeth stained with the gooey sweetness, and waved her over. "This is great! Come try some!" It had not occured to him just what effect she might have on the chocolate.

The pirate girl attempted to stifle her laughter over Gaspar's inquiry with a great effort. "Well, Gaspar, that all depends on what such treasures you seek," she stated as seriously as she could manage. "there's an information desk up front, along with a bigger, more detailed map of all the games and food. Oh, and did I mention the games have prizes?" Ty had guessed that was what the greed thule was after. "You could ask that girl at the desk, or we could just walk around and look at the booths."

"Hospital?!" Tymiko prompted immediately. "What happened? Is she alright?" After a moment, it occured to her that the boys' guardian might not have been the one requiring hospital service. Perhaps she was visiting someone there, or maybe helping out. She realized she had never asked Lena's occupation, but then again, she didn't want to be nosy. "Uh, well um..." she continued, feeling rather foolish for jumping to conclusions, "If you need anything while she's away, just let me know. I'd be happy to help you out." But Tymiko was confident the boys could handle themselves, and Lena would never put someone in charge of the boys she didn't trust to take care of them well. She sighed.

"Mine...?" Her aqua blue gaze followed Carlos' to Lamar, who was chatting with a smiling, cat-like thule his age at the info desk nearby. Dyaus had just disappeared around the corner, with a firey female thule following after. "Oh, uh...he he...I'm actually not quite sure what you're talking about..." How could she explain what had happened to her relic? Would Gaspar and Carlos think she broke it? Well, they might like to meet her boys, but she doubted now was the best time to introduce them. If they met during the festivities, it would be better for them to meet personally.

She had promised herself she'd leave her young boys alone for an hour to give them some freedom. As tempted as Ty was to follow and watch Dyaus, she forced herself to forget him, telling herself he was with another thule and therefore couldn't get into too much trouble...but what worried her was the vauge memory that he was headed in the direction of the chocolate table.

Looking for something to change topics, she spotted a delicate-looking ice thule who stood not far away, and she had just seemed to noticed Ty, Gaspar, and Carlos. A look of recognition seemed to spark in her eyes, and the pirate girl wondered if she knew the boys. "Hey, Carlos? Gaspar? Have you met that Ice thule? She's lovely..."

The sea thule patiently took the paper from the excited Xia. Regarding it a moment, he ralized it was a map. "Oh. Thank you," he told her, inspecting the museum's layout. It would be much easier to plan out what to do first. "Alright. I can see you enjoy helping your Mommy a lot," he added, smiling shyly, as he noticed Ballentine watching them. "But if you ever want a break, you can come join us. Your sister too. Is she alright? She doesn't seem as happy to be passing out maps as you do."

Lamar casually approached Bao with a wave, incase she hadn't noticed him standing there with her sister. She didn't seem too interested. She didn't seem intersted wih anything. After all, she was Xia's opposite, he realized. But what opposite was that? Even Dyaus wasn't ever so indifferent to his surroundings. In fact, it was that which distracted him the greatest.

"Uh...Bao, right?" he greeted uneasily. "I'm Lamar. Are you feeling okay?" She looked alright...just...bored. "Would you like to come play with us?" He was finding it was much more difficult to talk to Bao than Xia, as he wondered if it was him she was bothered by. Perhaps she was ignoring him on purpose. She hadn't spoken a word since he and Dyaus had approached the table.
