Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wilson took another bite out of his pizza slice as he shrugged at Reine. “Maybe they’re still settling into their dorms or something. Deryk you were on pod duty when they woke up, right? About how many were there—Oh hey! A couple new faces.” He gestured for Michael to come over, ignoring the nervous expression on the Lamb’s face. Julie wasn’t that bad! …okay she was pretty peculiar, but Wilson pretty sure he could handle being with Julie more than he could with Caelius.

His mouth was still full of pizza when he frantically called over Ami. “Wait!” Wilson coughed as he almost choked. [Whippersnapper! Who taught you to talk with your mouth full? Why I oughta—] Wilson furrowed his eyebrows. Gramps. Not now! He washed everything down with a swig of soda. “You’re…you’re one of the new trainees, right? Come join us!” She didn’t seem particularly keen on interacting with others. How to convincing her to stay…? “We’re your teammates, so we should at least know each other a bit, right?” Hopefully it was enough of a reason to convince the woman to join the group.

He curiously nudged Sydney in the shoulder with his plate. “Are you okay? You haven’t really said anything.”

Sydney looked up as Wilson bumped her with his plate. "Oh, um, sorry, I was--thinking," she said as an excuse. It wasn't a lie! She'd been thinking AT Izy. Hard. "Do you often have this many parties?" she asked. "Or is there something that I'm missing?"

"Is this where the party is?" A girl entered the door, working hard to catch her breath. Evidently, she had somehow gotten lost, lifting her sleeve to wipe a drop of sweat from her excursion around the dorms.

Saya was busy catching her breath, tipping her head low as she took another step into the room.

If you're so tired, just grab a drink.

Saya nodded, her reply lost in the lack of air running through her throat. That pizza smelled really appealing too-- Saya agreed that grabbing a bite to eat might be better than the embarrassment of her stomach growling in front of the room. Apparently, she hadn't eaten in awhile. Whatever the mysterious substance that had sustained their bodies in those pods weren't exactly delicious, Saya guessed.

Saya looked blankly at Tedan. She took his hand, her fingers linking in his to give the appropriate meeting gesture.

"I-I'm Saya.I'm sorry .. What? We had a group name?" She thought back on it, wondering if being a making such a late pod-breaking appearance has caused her to miss out on more than she already thought. She looked down at his limping ankle, lowering her drink in her other hand.

"Craziest .. I would have used a different term but that one fits rather well, doesn't it?" A faint whisper of a smile flashed, admiring the male's bright orange scarf and orange trimming of his coat. Orange was hard to work out but he made it work handsomely.

Before Tedan could answer her directly, Marcus made his little introduction and Tedan tilted head slightly. All right, so apparently these guys were the 'Lambs'. Cute. He didn't know if that was better or worse than Hatchlings.

"Yea, it's pretty crazy ... and ... everything he said too," he replied as he jerked a thumb over his shoulder toward Marcus. "What division are you in anyway? I'm Sun if you can't tell." He shifted slightly and winced as he put weight on that ankle then glanced around. "You wanna uhm. Sit down someplace?"

Smiling, Wilson shook his head. “It’s okay. If you’re not much of a talker that’s perfectly fine with me.” He had spent many years with such people; it wasn’t anything new. He nibbled on the crust of his pizza. “No, not often.” Wilson frowned. “Although I don’t think two would be considered ‘many.’ This party is for you guys, so if you hadn’t woken up…” His voice trailed off as he shrugged awkwardly.

He grinned at his success. Holding his plant in one hand, Wilson placed the other on Ami’s shoulder to place her even closer into the group. “Nice to meet you, Ami. I’m Wilson.” The trainee took a subtle moment to eye the woman’s long hair. He had seen women with long hair, but Ami’s hair was extra long. How did she manage to wash her hair? How long did it take her to braid it? It was freaking long. Wilson blinked and intently stared at his pizza instead. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed another new face chatting with Tedan.

Then Marcus made his speech. Wilson actually made a face once the moon trainee had finished. “That’s a great note for them to start on. Thank you, Marcus.” It was a real shame he couldn’t deny any of the things Marcus had said.

Marcus felt a little bad for the blunt greeting but, better than having head blown off or throat slashed. Speaking of did they get to see poor Clarice die? Eh, he'd ask later. No need to drag things on. Speaking of- did he hear someone say they were moon? Ah, she didn't look to happy. She was with..Tedan right? Ah yes, this get together he didn't seem to be up to holding a grudge. Walking over he smiled as best he could. "I don't suppose you just said you were moon did you?" Then-
"Wilson, I make a point to not to lie to people. Plus, with how things work here, it seems..." he searched for the right words, "unfair to mislead them. Augh see now this is why I don't make speeches. Not growing up and certainly not now."
One girl did chime in with..and odd remark. "Beer on- no. I really only sort of pointed out the worst of the worst. Julie, the one who sent us to get booze is just-" A sigh, "special."

Cass was totally late to the party.

She'd been napping, but she totally made a point to show up after she woke up, her hair sticking up on one side of her head as she stumbled into the gathering, looking around confusedly.

"...."

Her brain was still waking up, and the look on her face just said everything.

'What is going on?'

While the Mist Trainee seemed...puzzled, Nicodemus was working on getting her brain up and in working order.
