Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karmen gave her friend a sympathetic look.

She remembered comming home one day from school and finding her father, dead on the floor, he had stabbed himself to death, leaving no note, no will, nothing. She remembered the abuse she was given from her aunt and uncle, sometimes the abuse was enough to put her in the hospital. She remembered her own suicidal attempt, slitting her wrist, which now bore a scar on her left wrist.

Overwhelmed by saddness for both herself and her friend Karmen poofed into a cat once more, her once vibrant green eyes, now seemed dull and dark.

She still couldn't bare to tell her friend about her father, but, she remembered Selene's forceful methods of getting people to spill secrets/stories. So, to prevent any harm, Karmen dashed under a bed. The darkness surrounded her as she curled herself up, and again, began to cry.

Karmen lay under her bed silently for a while, wishing that she could tell Selene everything. Eventually, she decided that now was better than never, so she joined her friend on her bed. She noticed that Selene seemed busy in her own thoughts, so to get her attention, Karmen slowly approached her friend and then curled up on her lap.

"He commited suicide" Karmen eventually whispered, hoping that her friend heard her.

Karmen's eyes were now heavy and dry from crying, so she closed them and quickly fell asleep on Selene's lap.

Karmen was awoken from her light sleep by Selene, whom was scratching her between her ears. She realized that she didnt tell Selene much, but figuired that she should.

"You see, me and dad were at home. He was helping me study my alchemy, when we got a call from the police. We both knew that mom was driving my brothers to hockey practice, but we didn't realize that they had been in an accident. The police said that they had had a head on collision with a lumber truck, and the impact caused their car to explode. They died on impact. Then dad and I moved back to Canada. Karmen told Selene quietly, "then, the one day when i came home from school i found that my father had stabbed himself to death, so then i had to go live with my aunt and uncle on my dads side. They said that i was responsible for my father's death, and they would abuse me when given the chance. i ended up in the hospital many times. eventually thy sent me here, so i wouldnt be in their way.."

Small tears began to fall from Karmens eyes. It was hard to tell Selene everything, and even harder tolive with the burden.

Karmen nodded in smpathy towards Selene. She had been through as much as she had. She gave a yawm and walked over towards her suitcases, she would have to unpack tomorrow morning. Again, there was a loud poof, and Karmen was back to her human state. She searched through her things until she found her pajamas; a yellow and blue tank with a sleepy cat face on it, and yellow and blue bottoms, which were covered with blue kitty pawprints and words like 'meow' and 'purr'. Karmen walked over to the bathroom, and changed into her pajamas. She then plunked herself onto her bed.

"G'night Selene" Karmen said with a yawn.

Looking up from under the towel over her head she smiled brightly, pushing her glasses up on her nose. "Hey Seyla, get your dorm yet?" Grinning she motioned her to follow her up the elevator to her room. "They got a hot spring here, it's unbelievable how nice this place is," she said enthusiastically, punching the button repeatedly until the doors opened. "If you don't have a room yet you can just put your stuff in mine until you get situated," she said, still smiling widely

Hana pulled both straps of her bag over her shoulders, as she made her way into the dorm. It felt nice in the dorms seeing how if was a lot warmer compared to outside. Making her way to the stairs, she practically skipped up everyother one all the way up. She started to slow down around the sixty-first floor, as she felt like she had to drag herself the rest of the way up. Sighing with relief when she finally arrived on her floor, she as quickly as she could made her way to her room. She opened the door to see if Krissy, and Rag were still there.

"Hello!" She said curiously, as she stuck her head into the room and looked around.

Celest Rolled off her bed now and grabbed her cd player. She'd been thinking about wandering around the campus a bit. She put her headphones around her neck and walked out the door. She tried closing the door all the way, but it had jammed.

"Stupid door." She grumbled to herself. Celest began to try pulling and pushing on the door, but no use the door stayed jammed.

Oh great now I'm locked out of my dorm She rolled her eyes as the thought occured. She continued several methods, trying her hardest to open it back up.
