Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ara stepped shakily up to the door, rather awkwardly trying to carry Lucas, Raul, their overnight supplies and her own, at the same time. She looked ready to topple over. Not knowing if she had to go by the front or head directly to the back, she decided to play it safe and ring the bell--dropping a bag or two in the process.

"Now, you two," she began, "mind me. Lucas, darling, no hugging people unless they want to and Raul, no biting! Behave!"

She pulled out the invite, checking it over again. Yep, this was the place. She waited, still holding the boys.

Raul huffed and clung to his brother, Lucas pressing back against him with a happy trill. He didn't want to have to share Lucas with anyone else, all these horrible people--maybe he'd even have to put up with that mean, long-haired Thule again.

Lucas was more than pleased they'd be going to a social event: it meant he'd get to meet knew people, and maybe see Ceri, too! He didn't like as much that Ara didn't allow him hug people--people liked hugs! How could they not?!

Sajhiri excused herself from her conversation with Lena and Ecavi and moved back through the tower to the front door. She opened it with a smile. "Welcome to the slumber party, please head through to the back. Have the Thule drop their things in a tent of their choice, we're about to start roasting hotdogs over the campfire!" The woman was cheerful as she escorted Arach, Rin, Lucas, Raul, Rael, and Kaz through the tower to the brightly dancing campfire out back.

Sedare finished spearing hotdogs and aligning buns and the silvery thule handed one of the forks with it's skewered meat product to Carlos, and another to the approaching Ceri. "Come now, lets sit on a log and I'll show you how to cook those in the fire." She grabbed one for herself and settled comfortably leaving room to either side of her for the pair of younger creatures.

Saevire grinned at Gaspar. "I think I smell food...come on!" She leapt off the log and sauntered with a piratey swagger over to the buffet, plucking two skewers off of it, one for herself, and one for Gaspar.

Sajhiri retrieved some skewers for the new arrivals and proceeded to pass them out. "Just have the children sit around the fire and Sedare will help them roast their hot dogs. If they don't like meat, I also have veggie dogs available."

Sedare carefully held her long grill fork over the fire so the flames didn't quite touch the hotdog dangling from it, but came very close. "It's kind of like a game, see how close you can get the hot dog to the flames, without letting it get burned by them. When you see the skin bubble a little, or smoke wisp up off it, it's time to turn it to toast the next side."

Saevire perched on a rock and she stuck her hotdog right into the conflagration of flames, but yanked it out again at her sisters words. She blew out the flames dancing on the dog and frowned at the burnt spot. "Stupid campout. Stupid fire." she muttered.

Sedare carefully turns her hotdog, showing the other Aduthule that the first side is nicely browned but not blackened. "As long as you are patient, you will have a perfectly cooked hotdog...just slightly crisp outside. Yummy!"

Never one to be patient like her sister, Saevire decides a little charring isn't all bad. She shoves the hotdog into the coals, glaring at her sibling for being too perfect. Her hot dog crackles and burns to a nice, toasty black. She yanks it back out and blows out the flames. "Or if you're, you know, HUNGRY, you can learn to like charcoal flavor." She struts to the buffet to put her hotdog into a bun with lots and lots of ketchup and mustard to cut the burnt flavor.

Saevire grinned at her cohort in hotdog burning as she chomped into her dinner with gusto, then shrieked when she burned the roof of her mouth with it. She quickly poured herself a glass of lemonade and slugged it back.

Sedare looks touched by Carlos' words and she smiles softly. "Thank you...that is very kind of..." She blinks at Saevire's antics and says quietly, "As you can see, it's best to wait a little bit before eating it as it will be very hot."]/color]

[Yey, I can finally join, X3!]

Pippin lept, skipped, and jumped when the opportunity came his way to lose the twins for a night. One less kid meant a better chance of a good night's sleep, to be cynical enough. Carrying them separate from one another, but close enough to remain within the halos' reach, he emerges onto the scene very optimistic and cheery.

"Hello, hello!" he chimes, greeting all in one happy, musical sound. "I've brought two more visitors to join the fun."

Crow snorts, squirming rudely away from the others, shrinking into his jacket. Nothing like this can ever result in good things, he has deduced, clawing his way against his father's shirt in hopes to escape the noisy, busy people. He refused to bring anything along, thus arriving with merely the coat on his back.

On the other hand, Mythos was relieved to come, almost too excited in fact. With more people around, he could easily slip under the radar of the halos and possibly have some fun. He sighs softly at the concept, nuzzling his tiny backpack before swinging it gingerly over his wings. They flutter and extend appropriately to avoid any sort of crushing.

Pippin puts Mythos down first before removing Chronicles from his sleeve, dropping his next to his brother. The strain of the halos, even at that height, is evident, Mythos having to lean up on his toes with a wince before his brother finally let go. No doubt, the halos played a factor in his decision.

Stupid, annoying halos. That's one thing they can both agree on.

[ I probably won't be doing anymore replies today, so feel free to move on X3 I will be back tomorrow 8D yay fair.]

Ceri looks from Sedare, though still pointing at the hotdog, and looks at Carlos- who's holding out a well cooked hotdog to her. She immediately brightens, this thule was really nice! And, not questioning his offer or really thinking that it's his so he should keep it, she takes the fork, "Tanku!"

With a giggle, she turns to show it to Sedare and then goes off to where Saevire went when she'd finished cooking her hotdog. She holds up the fork to show Saevire she has a hotdog now, not sure what to do next.

Myze moves her glare from Raul to the strange new arrivals- they had circles floating above their heads and it looked like they couldn't really move away from them. It was interesting, but it didn't mean she wanted to go up the them. She continues looking around, Ceri's doing alright, so she resumes sitting out of the way silently- looking back towards Raul.

As Kay and her two new charges walked up the path to the door of the looming tower, their bag of sleeping things slung over her shoulder, she kept looking from the tower to the address on the sheet and back again. Yes, no doubt about it, the address was right, this had to be the place. But a tower? Must be someone pretty well off, or just a lucky inheritence.

Nuria bubbled with excitement like an active volcano as she trailed alongside Kay, her warm little hand gripped tightly in one of the woman's. She skipped and danced along, eyes darting around at everything but not really taking in much. She was going to a party! Parties were fun! And Danny had come too so it would be even better.
'This is so good, hey Danny?!' She thought privatly to her sister.

'Yeah....' Came back Danica's drawl reply. A party.... why would people want parties? They always seemed to be filled with running around and noise and pretty much childish things. Good thing she had given Kay the story book to bring along. She might be able to find a quiet enough spot and get Kay to read to her. Or maybe even that older thule she met at the museum who had read to her before. This was supposed to be her and her sister's party after all so she should be there.

Wandering up closer her concerns about the location were dismissed at the sight of another woman and two small beings very similar in shape to Danica and Nuria. Aduthule! Well, this must be it.

"Hey ya." She greeted the group of other party-goers standing at the door. "Guess I'm at the right spot. And not the latest person here either." She gave her a grin. "I'm Kay." She introduced herself, unable to hold out a hand or wave due to the fire and ice thules holding onto each one. "And this is Nuria and Danica."

Nuria bounced up and down, tugging on Kay's hand when she saw the other pair of thule. Grinning ear to ear it was obvious she was happy to meet the strange new Adu.

Danica however just stood quietly behind Kay's leg, watching them carefully.
