Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sam rolled the dice a couple of times to seem busy, not rolling a winning number. He watched Dr. Kyou the entire time, his attention unwavering. Suddenly his patience frayed and he slipped away from the dice game, giving one last futile role. Sam shrugged, and moved on. His attempted crusade was moving along slower than a snail, and it was only so long that a failing cause could hold a teenager's interest.

Sam trotted towards the refreshment booth, his stomach yearning for one of the cookies displayed proudly on the table. He kept one eye warily on Dr. Kyou, his cause not abandoned but merely re-prioritized in second place to his growling stomach.

He arrived at the refreshment stand and looked over the selection of food and drink. He bought more cookies than seem healthy for him to eat all at once and nervously got another lemonade. The last two hadn't been all that nice but he wanted to drink something sweet.

"A fundraiser?" Jae Eun looked down at the little plush doll in the woman's hands...it was...it was...it was so cute!

"Ah..I see, thank you!!" she said, somewhat relieved.

Stepping back, she bowed to show her thanks, and quickly wandered over to the pan where the plush dolls could be won. That doll was so cute! Maybe she could win one!

As she read the instructions, she grabbed some dice and sent them carreening into the pan. As the dice stopped, she looked up. Double checking her math and the little sheet, she realized she had won something--- only..

"Ei---what the?! WHAT KINDA NAME IS THIS?!" she groaned, "whatever!"

Grabbing the camera, she snapped the picture, and looked for the right booth. She had no idea what any of those names had meant at all! All she knew was that she was getting a cute plushie whose name she couldn't even pronounce! Shaking the picture to help it develop, she quickly found the receptionist--again.

"Hi Miss Receptionist! um..I rolled a winning number over at the dice pan, here's the Polaroid!" she grinned, extending the picture politely. This was so exciting! She usually didn't win carnival games at all! Maybe she could ask about the kissing booths AND Dr. Kyou while she was at it.

Well! That was... sufficiently awkward. Good... What was he 0 for 2 now? Maybe he should just quit while... well ******** he wasn't even ahead!

Sniffing in frustration, We`rika watched Chloe walk off. Was his English off? Did he confuse her? "Well... ********> He sighed flatly. There really wasn't a better word for it. Pulling at his dyed pink hair for the third time tonight, he wondered if he should try again.

Turning around to tell his temp slave they would be on the move, his words caught as he saw the distaste written on his face. "Tha' hell's wrong wit' you?"

Josh’s smile quickly faltered as the raevan gave a snappy response in return to his question. It wasn’t anything too brash or malicious, but it easily led Josh to the conclusion that Lazarus did lack the best ‘people skills’. Josh pointed softly to the array of roses displayed behind the red raevan. He decided to mix up a light conversation with Lazarus. “I was wondering if you could tell me which one would be best flower to give… my friend as an apology?” He wasn’t sure if he wanted to go into great detail of his run in with Eiry. He sent a hopeful gaze at Lazarus, curious of how the other would answer.

Chloe smiled as the playful creature rolled onto it's back, giving it a gentle rub on it's tummy. "You're very lucky... playing all the time." She smiled almost whistfully, giving it a light scratch at the top of the head. "But if someone comes I'll have to stop."

She looked around for something to play with, noticing Aphismet heading over. She raised a hand to wave, watching as he met someone he seemed to know.

She watched for a moment before looking back at the little dragonette. She took an end of her scarf and dangled it down in front of the small creature, hoping he'd be in the mood to play in this manner.


It was officially boring. Nobody was paying any attention to him, and he'd been standing in the same place for quite a long time now. Roux decided it was time for a break.

He floated quietly out from behind his booth, looking around the area. There were a few things to do... the firepit would definatly be a location to avoid, but the Refreshment Booth looked good.. and the small building that had been completely ignored was tugging at his interest, it had been for some time now.

He floated out in the middle of the grounds, gazing around in a distant manner, as though slightly lost.

Looking around for the familiar pink hair, Isi scanned the crowd of the party, hoping to see his friend. He tried to stand up on his toes but he could only do so for so long before his knee began to feel odd and he slipped back down to rest on his feet and lean against his supports. After a while, he finally found her and called out, "Chloe! There you are!"

However, it was at the last moment that he realized she was already talking to somebody else! So Isi piped down and curled up slightly as if the action would somehoe save him from being seen and ruining their conversation. He looked over at Eiry, who was floating and looking at everything with an overly curious eye, and made sure that he was doing fine. The raevan had calmed a lot and now his undying hunger for mischief was beginning to overwhelm his fear. Quietly, Eiry began investigating the Lucky Pan booth and peering over the corners.

Isi rolled his eyes in a matronlike manner, and looked back over to Chloe, hoping that there would be a chance for him to interject himself and catch her attention.

"HUH??" Jae Eun gasped, gingerly taking the picture back.

Looking at it, she realized what the problem was. It wasn't a picture of the dice she had rolled...it was....well, she couldn't quite tell what it was either...

"Oh my---I'm terribly sorry ma'am!" she apologized, before quickly rushing back to the pan.

Were her dice still there? Wait, she had definately re-rolled them to make sure no one tried to claim it, so they weren't there anymore!

Sighing, she picked up the dice and proceeded to roll again.

"Guess I should've known better!" she chuckled, shaking up the dice before sending them crashing into the pan.

Jae Eun picked up the dice again and sent them into the pan, rather annoyed this time. At least this game was free. It was odd, earlier, the sight of the floating red body had freaked her out, but now she didnt' even notice the pale green body that had just floated away....

WAIT. Floating pale green body?

The clatter of the dice caught Jae's attention again, and she checked the numbers.
