Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's nice to meet you, Ashley," she said, shaking the girl's hand. "Thanks." Then her attention roved right back to Kirin.

A smile twitched on Fallon's lips. Magenta eyes flickered to the group around them. It was widely known that there had been a terrible organ ring that affected the lives of many teenagers in Destiny City. Fallon just didn't like people to know that she was among them. Still, it was Kirin. They had shared the same confusing experience.

Finding no suitable polite response, Fallon chose instead to breeze right past the comments on Barren Pines. "Not graduating," she said, laughter in her words. "I'm in my junior year." And barely passing. School had never been Fallon's strong suit, but now, she was find a hard time finding more than three reasons to go at all. "I'm just looking to... survive it." She laughed lightly. "I might spend the summer in France, who knows." This was a lie. Fallon might pretend to spend the summer in France so that she could dedicate herself fully to the Blood Moon Court. It was a decision yet to be made.

Full lips parted to speak again, but she was caught off-guard by a familiar voice behind her. "Lily," she said. The teen turned over her shoulder to Kirin. "Sorry, one moment." And then she looked back to Lily. "It's good to see you." Was it? Lily didn't seem too excited. The awkwardness was eased as the redhead breezed past her toward a boy that had been identified as 'Chase.' Fallon didn't know him.

The little group had gotten a touch awkward for Fallon. She turned stiffly back to Kirin and then smiled, raising both eyebrows. "Boyfriends are overrated," she said. Now girlfriends...

"Hey, Lily," Kirin greeted the girl as she joined the group. He brightened a little. "Wonder if they've got a karaoke machine here? Or we should organise a giant group to go some night soon."

When Lily relayed her sister's opinion, Kirin made a face more suited for an emoticon. "If not partying and not having boyfriends made you socially inept, sign me up for that list," he said firmly. It wasn't just that he didn't do or have those things - mostly, he didn't want to.

... Though there had been one exception to that, and it caused him to nod along with Fallon's claim that boyfriends were overrated. "Tell me about it! I tried that out, but turns out he'd rather make out with another guy than with me."

Kirin shrugged. Not that he wasn't also 'another guy', but Zac hadn't known that. And neither did anyone here. So it totally counted as a 'boys are stupid' story.

His lips did twitch at Ashley's pronouncement, though. Hiding his amusement, he solemnly agreed, "Yes, yes they are."

Fallon had hit on Lily before, not that Lily had noticed. Fallon had hit on quite a few girls who never put the pieces together. It happened. The teenage girl had never given much thought to her orientation, or to relationships in general. Anyone who was close to her knew it; it was no secret. But Fallon's orientation was just another thing about her. It didn't define her everyday life.

"I have never understood boys," she said, placing one hand on her hip. "I far prefer their lovelier counterparts. But girls... well, girls can be just as crazy."

She smiled then, thinking of the brief and varied romances she had had in her short seventeen years. The longest had been with Leonette back in Barren Pines. And she was dead now, wasn't she? Had she ever been real? Fallon couldn't say. She only knew that Leonette had been very important to her... and then had just disappeared. Just as Nehelenia had been very important to her -- and then died. Everyone died on her. Relationships... only led to pain.

Still, it felt nice to participate in the conversation. For a brief moment, Fallon actually felt like she was her true age, instead of the vessel for a centuries old militant senshi.

He laughed as she explained how she had ended up in that particular outfit. "Sounds like Rose," he ran a hand through his hair as he chuckled. He had known Lily for a while, her family as well. He nodded in agreement, but Fallon interjected in the conversation stating that boyfriends were overrated. He feigned a seriously look and jokingly said, "I have to agree, boyfriends are definitely overrated, quite a pain really."

He couldn't keep a straight face for long before his grin returned to his lips. He had never had a boyfriend and he never planned on having one, he was like Fallon in some ways. He really had a thing for girls. "Hey, girl's should have a handbook too, they're very complex creatures," he argued trying to 'defend' his gender.

He listened quietly as his friend said that she'd like a boyfriend someday and he placed a hand on her shoulder giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Relationships are a pain but can be worth it," he told her thinking about old girlfriends, none of his relationships ever seemed to last too long and it was probably his fault which was why he preferred being friends with girls rather than dating them, regardless of how attracted he was to them. "You'll find someone," he assured her. "It'd be impossible for you to not find one."

He was there for his friends ready to feed them encouraging words when they doubted themselves, especially for the ones like Lily, who didn't realize how amazing they really were.

"Karaoke? Man, I dunno if you really wanna hear me sing but I'm game," he clapped his hands together. He was tired of the whole relationship conversation, he'd rather do something more...fun.

Ashley was, amusingly enough, completely silent for a moment. She had really just said that, hadn't she ?

She wished she could have said what Fallon just had just as easily, just like that. She couldn't. Would she ever ? She had no idea. It was a feeling she had kept to herself, locked deep inside her chest. She'd never dared, not really, and especially not sober. In truth she was afraid of many things - how would her parents react if they figured out ? Her brother ? Her brother was her best friend. If he hated her for what she was...

She was afraid to be judged. That was the bottom of it.

Still, her smile never faltered. "Ill go get the drinks, then. Just a moment~" And then, the short girl was gone toward the bar.

"I'm afraid that I don't understand, being as daft and overrated as I am." Senri said amusedly to Ashley and her ribbing. He wasn't offended by the girl's conversation of his particular gender, moreso entertained. Although he liked to think that woman had better things to talk about in their spare time.

"Hey Ariel." Senri waved to her as she was brought into the conversation. As Ashley left for drinks, Senri was left with the other woman, several whom he didn't know. But from the way that they were addressed, Senri at least knew their names. "Fallon, and Lilly, correct? I'm Senri."

"And as always, Destiny City has its share of beautiful woman." Lily and Fallon were striking, in their own rights.

Since Senri didn't feel in the mood for karaoke, he refrained from that particular conversation. Instead, he addressed Jada with, "I heard you have a movie going on? I might take you up on that offer."

Ariel was actually quite surprise to see Senri here. Not that he was not at his place but she didn't expect to see him again so quickly actually.
She first was not sure how to call him, but because they were in their private time and he called her Ariel she guessed she could do the same.

"Good evening Senri" she replied to the young man. He was attractive as usual. When he started talking about movies with Jada she remembered he was in the business too, so it was actually not that surprising for him to be here.

"Zombieland??" she frowned at the words. She was not sure she would like it. It was quite strange for a senshi but she was not really good with scary things.

"Why not starting the karaoke" she said while taking a mini pizza from a server's plate passing near to her.
