Welcome to Gaia! ::

"well if you really want to know, you still have many powers that are undescovered. but the one power i would love to help you enhance would be possesition." acairain said in her head. " if you help me, i'll help you. and by the way, the names acarian."

"Oh, hello!" Startled out of her daydreaming, Anne quickly found her usual smile, as she looked at the boy. "Yes, he's curious alright..." Cassio was stretching to get to Rhm, sniffing him around "I'm sorry, we're from the Human Realm, so everything here is brand new to us. I'm Anne, by the way, and he's Cassio. And it's nice to meet you both." She extended her hand to the boy and nodded at made a slight bow at the beautiful ermine. Realizing this was the third boy she was meeting on her first day, she smiled, picturing Asako's face when they caught up later. "So, where are you from?"

((Just a couple FYIs: first off all, I put up a quick reference sheet on the front page under Campus/Classroom Layouts that has the classes and their room numbers, so everyone knows where they are in relation to each other.

Secondly, since most of you voted for the return to the once-a-week length, I'll extend this one to next weekend to get everything back on schedule, and then we'll keep to that once-a-week.))

Asako cocked a mental eyebrow at Akerian. While the thought of increasing her power intrigued her, there was still the matter of if he would be able to do so. Although chances were that, if he could read minds, he was powerful, but she still thought of him as a boy--if not weak, then clumsy, with little experience and less sense. He was human, after all.

Asako wasn't prejudiced against humans, she just thought that, as a rule, young humans simply did not have enough experience. After all, Asako herself was over 250 years old (285, to be exact), and she still wasn't able to master hardly any of her powers, let alone help someone else master theirs.

And, of course, there was that little matter of a price. He said he would help her, if she helped him. That gave rise to the question, what did he want her to help him with...?

And what, exactly, do you want my help on...? Asako finally sent. It was better to be cautious than get caught up in something simply because she wanted power. That was one of the oldest mistakes in the history of Faerie, and, she was sure, the Human Realm as well.

Anne chuckled at the boy's words. It was strange how different people from both Realms were. "Yes, I lived with all that stuff. On the other hand, I'd never seen anyone like you, or Asako, and I was thought to be a freak..." She smiled. This was, no doubt, the nicest boy she'd met so far.
"I wish I knew more about Faerie...Are there purely human towns, here? And do you know why no technology is allowed?" Cassio had finally finished exploring Rhm's smell, and sat by Anne's side, on the table, waving his tail in a content manner.

"Oh, it's a secret alright!" The girl smiled "But there are some people from Faerie who choose to live on the Human Realm, and those, like me, who are born there but truly belong here. I spent my last two years traveling around, following a list of names my Mentor had given me. Each person, book or place taught me something about Faerie and about myself, until finally I was able to apply to this school."
Anne looked around. This school was everything she had always dreamed about; a place where the unusual was a everyday experience, where no one was ever considered a freak of nature. "I'm very glad I'm here at last.."

"You aren't used to beds?" The girl asked, laughing "I get you, I didn't have the most comfortable nights on my journey either." Realizing she was half-sitting on the desk, Anne got up and opened her big notebook; she had glued a schedule on the inside of the front cover.
"I have Philosophy next! I'm really curious about it...I know practically everything about the Human philosophers, but I have no idea of what are the big questions here...What will you have?" She was hoping he'd be in her class; cute and interesting, this boy was pretty attractive to her.

((It's ok. Conversation posts tend to be smaller...people don't usually speak a paragraph at the time... xd ))

"Hum...Fencing and debate, I think." She found it quite amusing how the boy's whole posture changed with his mood. She had never seen a...cat-boy before. She was reminded of Asako; they had pretty similar body responses. "You?" She knew she had to hurry into class, but the conversation was so fun she really didn't want to leave.

((Keru, a couple of things to note: First off, your profile post designates you as human. You really do need to stick to that. Secondly, and I'm saying this as a mod, the only things that Akerian can hear are peoples' italics--it's a bit fairer to the other players that way. Just to keep it mind. So, would you kindly edit your post, please? ^_^))
