Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seth looked at the table for a few seconds before laying his fingers around a plump, shiny red apple. He watched Iggy put the caramel on his before mimicking the blond boy and putting the sticky gel on his own.

He took a big bite with a loud crunch.

"Iff gud!" He said with his mouth full.

Iggy laughed at the way the crimson eyed boy tried to talk with his mouth full. It looked like the Caramel spread stuck to more than just the apple. Still he'd been assured that the food was good tasting and so with his own apple slathered in a thick layers of spread he bit into the treat. it was tangy and sweet at the same time, crisp and yet mushy and all together good if a bit hard to chew. When he'd choked down his first bite The blonde smiled back at Seth " I like it" he stated firmly while trying to lick caramel off his otherwise white teeth.

Natalie frowned. "I dun know why dad would be scared of Darf Vader." She said. "He's a meanie but dad shoudn't be scared of him." Natalie put down her finished Jack-O-Lantern cookie and picked up a ghost shaped cookie. "I make one for your dad too, as a get well pwesent." She said smiling at Reiya. "

Maru smiled at Devin. "You're Howl's brother? How nice!" She smiled a bit when Devin called her Mommy again. She looked back at Luke. "Luke can we have another?" She asked. Luke frowned. "No Maru, one baby is enough." Maru pouted and turned back to Devin. "Why don't you go make some treats?" She asked.

Sammi frowned. "Guys, this is a party. You shouldn't be fighting." She shot a glare in Hunter's direction. "And you! Stop picking on Milo. It's not nice to call people dumb." She didn't mention that it wasn't nice to throw rocks at people, though. Maybe it was because she knew Milo better, and liked him, or maybe it was because... Well. Something else. "Come on Milo, let's go play a game."

Reiya turned to look at Natty with a smile. "You know... I think it's because your dad's name is Luke. It might be an inside joke between them. But Dad really seemed to think it would scare him... I wonder why." She finished frosting her bat, putting two orange sprinkles in for eyes. "There, done," she said with another smile. "Do you like it?" She asked, with a slight tilt of her head. She wondered when Darcy would be done with her business and it'd be time to do the pinata.

Zee kept giving Darcy and his wife-to-be concerned glances, while fingering his car keys. A sign of stress.

Devin smiled brightly at Maru. "I luv you, Mommy," He hugged her around the knees, before nodding. "Kay, I go play," he agreed. He toddled in Aaron's direction. "Play with me?" He asked, with a cute tilt of his head and a smile. He didn't seem to realize that Aaron was doing very serious business...By standing there. It seemed like the older boy was lonely, in Devin's opinion. Why didn't he have anyone to play with?

Howl gave Alome one of his future-heart-breaker smiles. "Dunno, 'Lome pick, kay?" He looked to Noel and gave one of his dazzling smiles. Uh-oh. He was trying to impress someone, but who was it? "Nice thee you 'gain too, Lome'th Daddy!" He said brightly. "Lome pick what we gonna do." But then... He noticed someone. "Natty'th Mommy!" He cried, racing over to her, forgetting that he was still holding Alome's hand. "You pretty to-night." He looked to Alome, and gave her another smile. "You pretty too, Lome." He paused, and realized that Maru might not have met his friend, and wondered how to introduce them. "Lome, thith Natty'th Mommy." He gestured to Maru, "Natty's Mommy, thith Lome. Thee my friend." Another pause. "I Luke Thkywalker!"

Loki didn't look too happy to be sat down. He looked even less pleased when his father suggested going to play with the other children. Still, he tended to be obedient when his father told him to go do something. "Kay," he said with a slight frown. He didn't know anyone here! Well. He knew his cousins, his brother, Ellie. He didn't want to play with them! Then he noticed Irae. The poor boy was all alone! Loki's seelie side had taken over, and he made his way towards the other boy. "Hi, I Loki," He introduced himself as formally as he could. "Want to play?"

Darcy smiled, re-entering the party. She headed over to the pinata, checking the rope supports. After all, couldn't have a pinata if it just fell down, right? All was set. She leaned against a tree, waiting for someone....anyone....that was interested in the game or in speaking. She didn't care which.



Milo grinned, sticking his tongue out at Hunter before turning his attention to Sammi. "Kay, Sammi. What we play?" he asked, doing his best "innocent little boy" act. "Put worms in the bob-for-apples? Worms like apples." He nodded, grinning.



Stasia approached Zee, her face white as a sheet. She leaned up, whispering in his ear before looking to Matthias. "Matth, watch the kidlets for me, okay? Zee and I....well, we need to go somewhere." she said, trying her best to act like everything was alright and everything was fine. She walked back towards the cars, trying her best to appear calm and casual. No need to worry the others; might as well let them enjoy the party.

Reiya looked towards Darcy after she was finished with her second cookie, a jack-o-lantern. "I think we're going to be doing the pinata soon, Natty. Want to come ask Darcy with me?" She carefully folded each of her cookies in a napkin, before putting them in her pockets. "Let's go see, if not, we can come back and make more cookies."

Sammi fell for it. She smiled back at Milo, offering him her hand. "You pick the game, alright? But no worms in the bobbing for apples game, okay? That'd be mean to the poor worms. You wouldn't want someone to accidently bite them, or for them to drown, would you?" She paused, shaking her head. "You could take an apple out and give it to them, though. I'm sure Darcy and Aaron won't mind." She didn't seem to think Milo's interest with worms was strange at all. Just a phase. All little boys went through them--including her older brothers, who at the moment, seemed to be obsessed with goldfish.

Zee took Stasia's hand, he'd known this was coming. "Come on, your room's already booked," he told her. Without saying good-bye to anyone, he led her outside. "Oh, I'm going to kill Darcy," he muttered, helping her into his car.

Howl smiled up at Maru. "Tank you!" A bright smile crossed his face. "Natty with couthin Reiya," he informed Maru, as if she might not know who Natty's friend was. "Play with uth, Maru? Lome picking game." Then he looked to Luke, and hugged the man around the knees. "Luv you, Luke." He let go of Luke, and turned to realize his parents were gone. A frown replaced the smile he'd been wearing. "Where Mommy and Daddy go?"

Devin had become bored with Aaron, and made his way towards Darcy. She seemed much more interesting. He craned his neck so he could look at her. "Hi! I Devi. What your name?"

~~~~

Loki frowned slightly. Someone who didn't play much wasn't of much interest to him. Unless... He could teach him some games. "Well, Darcy's gonna have a pinata soon. You do pinata? You get candy from it! But my teeth hurt, see?" He opened his mouth to show Irae the offending fangs that were growing in. "They hurt. So I share my candy with Daddy." This was partially a lie, because even if Loki's teeth hadn't been hurting, he would have shared with Matth.
