Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shinji sighed in slight relief as he heard Lena's words, and pulled her close again to place his lips to hers. He let his head tilt to the side some, guiding her head in the opposite direction, and held her warmly, letting his mind fade, almost forgetting where they were.

Shinji let the kiss fade, and looked to Lena again. He smiled softly to her, still a little unsure, but held her. Do you wanna go somewhere else? He wasn't sure why, but he just wanted to get out of the star at the moment.

SHinji nodded silently, looking to her still.

Shinji smiled to Lena, shrugging a shoulder. We could just take a long walk home if you want? He paused, blushing softly as he wasn't sure if he was welcome to call that home at the time being. He decided to keep his mouth shut and looked to her for her answer.

Shinji paused and looked to Lena, a goofy half smile on his lips. Did you read my thoughts?

Knowing they might be a little early yet hoping people were there, many of the Trist Manor residents made there way inside the Fallen Star, all off them dressed up in different outfits with matching masks though they could all be recognized easily.

Erordia was already pulling Rohan onto the dancefloor to show him new steps while Diviana was trying to keep peace between Desiree and Loki. Catori and Aiden make small sparks and such with their wands, Leilani watch and clapping with each trick. Ray and Drake went off on their own, Drake looking more unhappy than usual with Ray trying to cheer him up. Only Marie, Saber, and Tempest hadn't shown up with the others.

Rohan wore a jester-like outfit though it looked more like his normal style of clothes rather than a traditional jester. It had a green and amber colored design to it with leaf-like embroderies, the mask being the same. Erordia also chose something to her usual style except her dress was long and form-fitting, dark violet in color with silver accents. Around the bottom edge, the dress was torn and ripped, a few places having criss-crossing laces. Her mask and hair also had the cross-crossing lace design. For Diviana, her dress seemed much simular to the one she normally wore but this one was in black, tiny crystals dotting the soft fabric in star-like designs, her mask being the same. Desiree chose a more modern version of her black and orange kimono, the bottom part being short, to mid-thigh, the sleeves still long yet disconnected at the shoulder. Loki went for a more medieval look, wearing a fancy black cloak and a very dark blue coat with a white shirt and black pants. For Aiden and Catori, they went with house colors, a short yet glittering dress for Catori, a long coat, shirt, and pants for Aiden, his coat being a bit glittery as well. Leilani picked out a brighter outfit, a long bright blue dress, a long slit down one side, that had swirls of green, pink, yellow, and purple coming up from the bottom. For Ray, she chose her dark read medieval like dress, form-fitting to the waist then it flared out with gold trim and accents. Drake stood there, still unhappy, in black pants and a loose dark dray shirt, a black cloak over his shoulders. He still wore silver gauntlets, shin bracers, and breast plate but it was all Ray would allow, with his two swords, of course.
