Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jaden:
I'm very intrigued by Evelyn! Jaden's got a little baking experience thanks to a friend, but he's still very much a novice and isn't all that great at it. It's his Litch hertiage; his sense of taste is largely dulled, so he can never tell if he got the flavor right. All he knows is the texture seems okay. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what he's going to do, but I'm leaning towards him owning something along the lines of a "cat cafe" with fennekits. Maybe also spectrefoxes. He's back-and-forth and whether cooking/baking can be incorporated as well, or if it even should. I'm sure they could definitely find something to talk about!

Histeol also interests me, cause as a freshling Jaden knew a Hallowed Litch with a single wing. It makes me curious to see how they might interact. If we go with the current timeline, they're all in the Academy during lockdown. Jaden has several fennekits and spectrefoxes, and while the 'foxes are well-behaved he'd probably really appreciate some help keeping the 'kits from running all over the place. They all need the exercise, and with help it would take less time.

Alyssum:
I would love to give them a shot and see how things go : ) Alyssum is coming out of her shell just a bit more thanks to making a friend, but she's still quiet and a bit reluctant to put herself forward. Interaction with others is helping to shape up her personality a bit. Also no worries about the growth! If we do a guild RP with them then I all need to do is a solo and Alyssum's all set to apply for growth; I was actually thinking about doing an SRP with her just to get that second RP for growth requirements.

Samara:
I think they might do quite well together. Lillian's shyness probably won't be too big an issue, since Samara is more than willing to initiate and maintain contact. While she's not exactly a hiker, Samara does have a lot of energy and doesn't mind accompanying someone on treks; she actually is out and about quite a bit already. She's also pretty strong, since she comes from a fairly rural area and did a lot of hiking just to get around. If they head towards a place known for having interesting rocks, she'd be more than game since she likes geology. I can think of a couple ways to ease into things, depending on what you think might work best. Class assignment/field trip, random outdoor encounter, Lillian has a pretty rock that gets "lost" and Samara starts asking questions based on observing Lillian trying to find it.

Liam:
We can certainly see how Wrydda and Liam interact. Since Liam's one of my problem cases, it makes him a bit of a butt in how I don't always know how he'll react. I know he's got a bit of a snarky side to him that pops up occasionally, but I'm still exploring his personality. Maybe something school-related for initial interaction, like a group project or something to that effect?

Jaden:
XD His main problem is that he has too many! For a student anyway. Some are easy to handle, some are divas, some are willing to run up to the nearest friendly face. If it's crisis time, Jaden would be trying to make sure they don't disturb anyone. Would be good if Teo knows fennekits though, the divas likely won't give him the trouble they'd give a newbie XD

Alyssum:
Woot! I'm trying to think of how they might meet. If we go with Meta timeline then they could be in the same room somewhere and just manage to strike up a conversation of sorts. If things are normal I'm not sure where they might make initial contact. Any ideas?

Samara:
Actually, Samara being very Geist-y, she'd probably steal the rhodochrosite. The thing with Samara is she rarely keeps what she steals, but it's kind of habit and to keep in practice. In the end she would stealthily return the rhodochrosite, though how the ending goes exactly depends on how the interaction with Lillian would go.

Liam:
Hmmmm. Liam is primarily a crafter (mostly glass-making), and is learning illusion so he can use it with glass as a medium. Just to add something special to a pretty trinket or something of the like. That might be able to be worked in, if they have to bring back something to show the results of their practice. Liam actually has trouble working illusion and glass at the same time, and I feel he'd be struggling a little with illusion in general. Wrydda might be able to help with that in some way?

Awesomesauce! Now my question is do we want to work on all four things at once, or divide and conquer? I'm fine with either.

I'm shuffling things around in my journal, but I can always try starting some things up as soon as I'm done with that!

Oh, also, Wyrdda's still an Academy student at the time of the Meta event, so an RP with Liam should probably be delayed.
