Welcome to Gaia! ::

I get up from my place next too the tree I was thinking at. "Well, I might as well drop the past right now, I need to get used to this school." then I walk out of the woods.

Izumi walked into the woods with a happy smile on her face, glad that it was daytime now and not as scary as before when she was alone.
"See? The woods are great! They have all kind of trees and you can find a space just for youself." she said. She walked over to her willow tree (in her mind she had already claimed it as hers and thought of it as such) and smiled at it's beauty in the light.

"Too peaceful for your tastes?" Izumi looked at her. "Somehow I think that with this school, it isn't likely. Anyway...I'm not sure what scared me about it. It's not that I feel unsafe here...it's just...I don't know." she said finally. "I think that this is a place that you can sort of....meditate if you need to." She looked down into the small pool of water near the trunk. "I came here, and touched the water. I heard someone singing, then screams. I guess that is what scared me. The screams, I mean." she beamed at Mia "The singing was lovely, it was Nevaeh. I wonder where she is...I know you'd like her, she's really nice." she added.

"Well..." Izumi said. "I'm not sure exactly, so I can't say for sure, but I think that people like me, who are just human, and with no afflictions..." she blinked as she used a big word "are actually in the minority here. Nevaeh, when I first met her, it was because she'd collasped in front of me and I tried to help. It didn't work a lot..." she grinned sheepishly "But she told me that it was normal. And I met maybe three other people...they all had such sad looks in their eyes." she looked down at her reflection too.

Izumi stood up and brushed herself off. "I dunno." she said. "That is something that you will have to decide for yourself. Whether you want to be accepted or not, even. I guess all I can say is, if they accept me, they'll accept you." Though I'm not even completely sure if they accept me or not yet either. sweatdrop she thought.

Izumi grinned. "That's the spirit I'm looking for! Hey-!" she said as she was patted on the head. "Just because I'm short that doesn't mean you gotta make fun of me!!! scream I can't help it!!" she grumbled for a moment. "I was kinda wondering if I would be able to find someone who knew where my teacher was...I went by his classroom and he wasn't there. I'm not sure what to do. This is a school, right? but I haven't been to any classes yet. Mom and Dad signed me up for swordsmanship." she looked at Mia "What class are you taking?"

"Oh.....don't say that!" Izumi said, waving her arms crazily. "Don't think things like that cause I might start thinking them too! crying I know there has to be some reason....but anyway...I try not to think of things like that. Hey! We both have the same class! And I'm sure if the teacher doesn't come back we can find someone to give us pointers. At least for me, though, somehow I can't picture you being taught something for some reason..." she tilted her head looking at Mia.

"Well at least we agree on something!" Izumi grinned. Feeling slightly better, she looked around at the greenery. "I love the outdoors, but I didn't realize it until I came here." she said to herself quietly.
