Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crouched in a frog-like position on top of the railing, Yami stared off to his side over at Aki. The man had gone unnoticed for some time now even with a person looking for him. It must have been just one of those coincidences.

Yami then looked to his other side and noticed Hunter. His eyebrow raised. When did he get there? Yami shook off the confusion. Why did boat rides have to make him so out of it? The man cursed under his breath before returning his gaze back to the waters below.

((Alright, I guess I'll time lapse..))

After about another hour, the large ship finally pulls into the dock west of Trabia Garden. The Garden itself was barely visible in the distance, it's bulking structure shrouded by a grey fog.
It was snowing lightly and the whole sky was a blur of grey white. Though the snow was light, it was still fairly hard to see too far into the distance.
There was a mild wind blowing in off the water, making the already chilly air colder still. Aki walks off the boat and onto the dock, still only wearing her black dresss shirt, red mini skirt, red stockings, and black knee-high boots. She didn't seem cold at all. In fact she seemed perfectly comfortable as he takes a deep breath of the freezing air and lets out a happy sigh.
"Alright everyone, gather round. We'll head straight to Trabia from here, and it'll be about lunch time when we arrive, so we'll stop for a bite to eat before we head out into the Bika Snowfields. You'll want to be well fed and energetic before we go, because the monsters around here are far more of a challenge than anything you've encountered in Balamb.
So, if you've got all your things, follow me! We've got quite a walk!" Aki calls, happily leading the group towards her former home.

Torruun quickly gathered his things, and put on a heavy winter coat he had brought from Balamb Garden. He then followed Aki from a few paces behind. However, Torruun was almost awestruck as he saw the snow. "It's beautiful..." He said quietly to himself. "It really is..." Zil said to him from within his head.

Hunter step off the boat to follow the rest of his classmates as he look around some of Trabia snowfield, Hunter seem to almost feel at home as Trabia was much different then his home of Balamb as he continued to look around at everything

Ramza felt the cold get worse as they walked further from the docks and towards the Trabia Snowfields. He shivered slightly, but ignored it. "Kinda cold, but it makes for motivation too work a little harder and stay warm," He stated, neither caring nor noticing if he spoke loud enough to be heard by any of his classmates nearby. His gundaggers rattled a bit at his hips as he walked.

Having woken up and snuggled herself into her rather thin jacket, Tia was beginning to regret not wearing a bigger one. She'd never been to the Trabia area before, and she felt as though her fingers were frozen completely. Gritting her teeth together, she lifted the collar of her jacket up to her chin and stuffed her hands deep into her jacket. She was glad that she'd been wearing these thick hi-topped boots instead of her easier to walk in trainers, and mentally made a note in her head to prepare herself better the next time she made a trip.
As she trudged along beside other members of the class, she lifted her head slightly to take in the surroundings. The white snow was thick and laid on the ground like a blanket. Up ahead, she could see distant mountain peaks.
"It's beautiful..." she murmured to herself.

Lee noticed that Tia was having trouble with the cold, so she jogged up next to her. "Do you need another jacket?" Lee asked. "Because to tell you the truth, I'm kinda warm in mine. And I'm still wearing long sleeves underneath." And Lee did feel warm in her jacket. Though Trabia is colder than her own country, she still experienced some pretty cold winters as a child. Her skin underneath her shirt seemed to be crawling, calling to the cold. It had been a while since Lee had been anywhere cold, and she noticed after she left her family, that her clothing choice became, well skimpier and skimpier. At first she thought she just wasn't used to the heat as she headed south. But now that she arrived in Trabia, there was no doubt in her mind that her body yearned for the more cooler climates that she had been accustomed to.
