Welcome to Gaia! ::

Feeling thoroughly refreshed and suitably alive, Seamus made his way back into the bedroom. The huddled form in the midst of Orpheus' bed showed that the other boy was still asleep, even after his embarassing rant at the wildlife.

Hmm....now how to wake him up.

Most of his friends had siblings, and experienced sadistic pleasure in relating stories on how they woke up their younger brothers and sisters, through use of water balloons, animal life, or even something simple like banging on the door while blasting "Vamos a La Playa" on a boombox.

He should probably save those sorts of things until he knew that Orpheus could take a joke.

Seamus cracked his knuckles and decided to go about this the old fashioned way: shaking.

He grabbed the boy's shoulders, began to shake him and loudly said, "Yo, Orpheus, time to rise and shine! Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!"

((Oh yeah, and Ayemi? This happened not only once, but at least THREE times! So yeah. ^-^ ))

Gabriel waited patiently for Kindred to finish brushing his teeth. Was that his toothpaste? Oh well. Better his than Liam's, he supposed. And a good thing Kindred had grabbed toothpaste, too, and not one of the many other creams he'd seen. Ew, how gross would THAT have been? Grinning, he off-handedly waved a hand towards the sink. "You did grab toothpaste, right?" He shot towards him playfully, anticipating the look of dread that would come onto Kindred's face.

Once Kindred was ready, they were on their way. What a strange trio they were, indeed. Gabriel walked with his hands tucked into the pockets of his sweatshirt, face lifted towards the sun at first to let the warm rays wash over his skin and wake him up a bit more. He held a certain self-confidence in his stride, relaxed and casual. He was in no rush to get to a stinky barn, after all.

Upon his arrival, he settled himself between Kindred and Liam once they had stopped inside the barn to recieve any instructions from Abby. He smiled towards the woman he recognized from the day before, though her presence only held his attention for so long before he was distracted by the other gathering boys. He hadn't seen anyone... aside from that boy that had rushed into their room last night. What was this now? Pink hair, that caused a brow to raise... and Tristan looked normal enough. Justin looked potentially aggravating, a little too loud for Gabriel's tastes. His gaze drifted amongst the boys before he settled his eyes back on Abby and leaned back on his heels some. He'd never worked with horses before... Oh! Breakfast! He nudged Kindred gently and nodded his head towards the foods that had been spread out for them, silently asking if he wanted to go grab something to eat.

Liam frowned at the toothpaste comment. Were they making fun of him? He couldn’t help the fact that he happened to have extremely good hygiene compared to them... but he decided to let it rest for now. No sense in starting a fight this early in the morning. At least they were finally getting a move on.

When they arrived, he gave no reaction to the smell like the other boys seemed to. He had come out this direction often, sometimes just to look. It was a good place to get away from all. Unsurprisingly, he also made no move towards the buffet table. A continental breakfast wasn’t his cup of tea. He did, however, nod to Abbey, and speak up, one hand in his pocket as the other brushed his bangs away from his face. “So, ah, we’ve arrived...” He referred to him and his new roommates, then cleared his throat. It was amazing that he made it through the night alive. Kindred and Gabriel seemed like trouble to him. Then again, everyone here was trouble.

((DCeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! DDDDD: *huggles*))


Aiden caught the glance of a boy he hadn't previously seen and smiled, barely hesitating before sauntering over to him, a pleasant smile on his lips. "You're new, huh?" he asked, leaning forwards slightly to pick up a blueberry muffin. Hey, he was hungry. And any and all food was not to be wasted.

"My name's Aiden," he added after having swallowed his rather large bite of muffin. "What's yours?"


((Bleh Short. Dx))

Gabriel would have jokingly accused Kindred of being a fat a** for being the first at the breakfast table, but he was interrupted by Aiden's perky introduction. Admittedly, he'd been expecting something a bit more flowery and feminine than the basic introduction - but he certainly wasn't disappointed. More normal introductions were a good thing, encouraged even! He offered a faint smile to the pink-haired boy, snagging a poppy muffin for himself. (Seemed muffins were the new in-thing. All the cool kids were eating them.)

"Yeah, I just got here last night... I kind of figured it was too late to meet you for pizza... Gabriel. My name's Gabe." He stepped away from the table after pouring himself a glass of juice, making room for the others to get their own breakfast.

Still, he had developed the tendency to remain rather close to Kindred. While approachable, he wasn't the most active social butterfly and Kindred had a form of security to him. They seemed to be here for similar reasons and the older boy was a-okay in his book.

"Fine, whatever. I'll come back in a bit to wake your lazy a** up." And with that the teen trudged over to the cafeteria..... only to see that nobody was there.

What the hell?! Is everyone here a zombie like Orpheus?

After staring into empty space for a moment or two, he finally realized what had seemed off about this morning. The horse thingy!

THAT'S what was bothering me! I completely forgot about the meeting at the stables! Which was- He quickly glanced at his watch ten minutes ago? s**t!

So Seamus ran all the way back to his dorm room and pounced upon the prone figure in the bed.

"Orpheus, wake up, NOW! We're late! Gittup!" All throughout his somewhat panicked outuburst he'd been shaking the sleeping kid, hoping that he'd make SOME form of a intelligable response.

The irony of the narcoleptic trying to wake up someone else did not escape him.

((Oscar. Pfft. 8D;; ))

Orpheus finally opened his eyes, bleerilly, after enjoying what seemed only five seconds of peaceful rest as the other exited the room and then reentered it. "Nnn...?" He sat up slowly, looking distinctly tousle-haired and sleepy. "Lateforwhat?" he asked slowly, sounding as if his lips had been gummed together with sleep just as securely as his eyes had been.

He rubbed at his eyes with the back of one pale hand and then yawned widely, showing a set of rather nice pearly whites. "S'tooearlytobeyup...." he mumbles incoherintly.
