Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Not many really. My dad donated a few braille copies of his book to the library. Just act like you did before and no one else will ever know. I just happened to notice because I was helping you. The key thing and the fact that you asked for the map, but never even looked at it until the end of the tour." he said without missing a beat.

"Like I said, they probably won't. Which name are you talking about?" then he thought it through. After he had mentioned his father's book she said something about a name. "You mean Elric? I am the son of the famous Edward Elric, the Full Metal Alchemist who successfully made a philosopher's stone and transmuted himself a new arm and leg and his brother, my uncle, Alphonse Elric a new body to replace the body he lost as a child. THey were all over the media. That's probably where you heard it first." Even though it embarrassed him to mention his father, he loved it at the same time. Being known as the Full Metal Alchemist's son was a great burden.

"You would think that, but it kind of stinks. Everyone expects me to be as great as him. Personally, I'm aiming a lot higher than that. I'm going down in history the only alchemist better than Edward Elric!"

((Night night!))

"Does everyone have high goals here?" Sonja asked, she knew it was a school for alchemy and everyone should have a set goal in life but she wondered if some were just trying to learn the art of alchemy. Were others trying to create new arrays for circles, antidotes, cures, new forms of elemental alchemy? She raised her hand to her chin as thought, she wondered if anyone would be researching the same subject as herself. She finally pulled herself from her thoughts as another voice entered the area and she tilted her head so her ear faced the direction of the sound.

Sonja turned back from the new voice and to answer the question but she gave it some thought at first. "I'm trying to create a cure for disease of the heart, that often occur infants. I believe that vaccines or medicne would be able to remedy the situation instead of having risky operation, which some people just can't afford. If I can achieve this then I'll probably further my skills in alchemy for other medical purposes." Now that she said it her goal seemed still rather unattainable, having already 6 years of work and study on the subject, she wondered how much longer it would take before she finally finished the medicine. She believed it was possible so now it was amtter of time.

As the limo approached the building Dalton laughed at the size compared to his grandfathers home. “ If I want to learn alchemy with and from people as bright as me this will be the place, and besides size doesn’t matter. he thought to himself. “ driver pull over here I’ll walk the last block,” he yelled to the driver at the front of the limousine. Getting out he grabbed his suit case and pulled out his umbrella. “ I was thought it was going to rain today. Well I don’t want to look stupid.” he said to himself. Taking out a piece of chalk he drew an elaborate circle with well practiced speed and perfection. Slapping his hands to the ground the usual bright light shown and a gust of air thundered into the sky. Moments later the oxygen particles he had charged did their jobs and the thunderous clouds began to form above the school. Standing up from the ground Dalton unfolded his umbrella. A second later the sky thundered and the pour began. Smiling at his accomplishment he grabbed his bag and walked inside.

As long as no one saw him perform his little trick he’d be fine. Inside the school the first thing he noticed was the walls. Most buildings were made out of stacked bricks but the walls were solid slabs of stone. “ Remarkable, ” he said with a twinge of aw. Walking through the maze of corridors he eventually came to the dormitories. Looking at the doors he counted up from one to thirteen. There were a few people in the hall, and the room right across from him was open as well. Pushing up his glasses he walked over to his door taking in the people that presented before him. There was a boy and a girl talking the boy looked pompous or maybe just very familiar with the school. The girl on the other end looked more timid. Walking over to the two he put on his most formal manner and said, “Hello, my name is Dalton wonderful weather we’re having isn’t it.”

(( hope youi dont mind me joining in :] ))))

At the statement about the weather she turned to face the window in her room and she could picture perfectly the payne of glass used for the window as the rain drops beat rhytmatically against the building. There were so many different noises here she couldn't believe she missed the sound of the rain so easily. 'guess I got here just in time.' she said to herself and rested her hand on the echo-clicker in her pocket as she turned back around to the doorway where Vanyel and Dalton were conversing. She merely nodded her name in acknowledgement when her name was said in the introduction.
