Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Woooooow! Are you the leader Mister?" Tyson asked with bewilderment, his hazel eyes bright and amazed as he stared upon Rivener. He and Lillian had just run off from Kyou. The two not wanting to hang around the angered man. So Lillian quickly handed him the money, grabbed Tyson, said a few more words of asking for forgiveness and hurried off into the crowd of people. Of course, Lillian's eyes caught the flower stand and brought them over to it. She loved growing plants and was always eager to look at someone elses growings.

"Tyson, shush. I'm sorry sir--" Lillian paused, not meaning to stare at Rivener. She finally had the chance to look around and this is what she sees. A...a...half a man? That was not right...but boy was this half a man handsome. 'Lillian! Stop staring!' Her mind screamed at her. The teenager quickly shook her head to wake herself from her daydreams."Oh! S-Sorry...my these flowers are pretty. We have all sorts in our greenhouse at home. It's too cold to grow them outside right now." A smile spread on her face as she admired the flowers. A hand on Tyson's shoulder to make sure he didn't do anything reckless.

The boy was in awe as he continued stared at the raevan. This had to be the leader of these superheroes. The leader of a superhero team always wore red! He was so neat looking! This one and the blue one...was Roux his name? Tyson tried to recall the other one he had a run in with, that guy was neat too, but this one was clad in coolness!

"I-I'm Tyson! Who are you? What's your power? Can you fly? How many people have you saved? Who is your arch ne-nem-nemisis?" Tyson asked quickly, unable to contain his excitement. Atleast this time his tone of voice wasn't as loud as last time.

"Tyson...don't ask so many questions." Lillian scolded the younger boy,"I'm sorry sir."

"Lillian....I want to know! He's so cool looking! He must be the leader of these superheroes!" Tyson whined as he tugged on his sisters jacket while explaining himself to her.

The floating guy with purple eyes didn't seem to be responding so Zeph took a step back and turned to another man who had a red streaks in his black hair. Trying to be subtle about it, he also noticed pointy ears, long red nails, an armband of spikes and so on and so forth... until he got down to the waist. and then there was no lower body, but a swirl of fabric and mist, and a glowing rune in the middle.
A chill passed down his spine at the realization. Curiosity welled in him, and he covered it up. Someday... he would find answers. For now, though, he felt it was a good idea to keep it in.
There was also something about the smile the creature wore... it seemed very sweet. Too honey-sweet. Zeph suppressed another shiver and approached the half-person- trying hard to seem as if he was calm and composed rather then bewildered- and asked in a firm voice "Excuse me... do you work here?"

Rivener frowned darkly at the woman who dared to tell him how to behave. "If you're not going to buy any flowers, then you shouldn't be blocking my real customers," Rivener replied venomously, glaring at the woman.

"I'm not a superhero!" he snapped at the child. Before turning to the new customer, he added, "I'm a Raevan."

He smiled winningly at the newcomer. At least this one seemed more behaved than the other two. "Yes, I work here. Can I help you?" he said smoothly, hoping this would be the end of the unpleasantness with the woman and child.

Lillian just glared back at Rivener. She wasn't at all afraid of this thing, his frowns and glares brought no fear to her strong heart.

"Tyson..sweetie....did you want a flower?" She asked looking down at the little boy who was still in awe.

"Oh! Yes! I want to give one to Miss Chloe and to the other Ra-Rae-Raevan!" Tyson told her as he came back from his admiring.

"Fine.." Lillain grumbled, letting her little brother pick out two flowers, and even took one for herself. She then looked around for a sign at how much they were. Since that the rude Raevan was busying himself with other people he would be no help. Lil also didn't really want to talk to him again, her blood was boiling too much to be able to hold her sweetness towards him.

Luckily for Lilli, there was a sign on the kiosk with a note on the prices; a dollar a flower. Simple enough... Since Rivener wasn't even looking at them anymore, he would have to trust them to pay.

As it was, Rivener floated away from his kiosk, to help the new customer with his request. "Of course," Rivener purred with his winning honey-smile. "Cookies and lemonade." The Raevan went to the proper booth, poured out a cup of lemonade, and placed a pair of cookies on a napkin, bringing them back over to the client. "Here you are, sir," Rivener said, handing over the objects. "That's two fifty, please," he added.


Aphismet kept glancing at Chloe every once in a while, wondering if the man she was with was an old friend, or perhaps a new acquaintance... or maybe a new b-boyfriend...? Ah! Trying to shake these thoughts out of his head, Aph glanced back down and shook the dice, letting them roll.

Aph had smiled as he rolled a winning number! He wondered if Melisande's plushie was claimed yet... At any rate, Aph shrugged and decided not to say anything about it, and let others win the cute plush girl with the blond curls. Aph was only playing to distract himself, after all.

Just as Aph was about to roll the dice again, a young woman came by and took a turn. Aphismet silently wished her good luck, took a step back... and stumbled as something ran into him.

Aph regained his balance and straightened, looking over at the cause; a little boy claiming to be a cupcake. Aph laughed; with that coat, he really DID look like a cupcake!

"Oh, it's alright," Aphismet said as the woman left the dice and came over, checking on the child. "He just bumped into me a little." Aph knelt and grinned. "Cupcakes shouldn't walk... They roll!" he teased. "What flavor are you, anyway?"

"MMmmmm, too bad you're such a fast cupcake, because you sound like you'd be very tasty to eat." He laughed and straightened, turning his eyes to the older of the two. "I'm Aphismet, pleased to meet you. What brings you both here? Do you know a guardian?"

Aphismet was always surprised and pleased to meet people who were connected with the Lab in some way, probably because he himself always felt like he'd been let into a secret club without really thinking he deserved it. Getting to know the other owners and their friends, might yield a secret as to what Dr Kyou might be thinking. There must be a method to his madness.

Aphismet laughed at the boy's attempt to pronounce his name. "Hahahah, I know it's a hard one. How about you just call me Aphi? That's what my little brother calls me." He patted the little boy's head pleasantly.

"Well, you chose a good day to drop by," he said with a smile. "Usually there's nothing much going on here... I hope you had time to enjoy all the events, like the refreshments and the k-... k-kissing booths." He couldn't even say it without stammering and blushing slightly. He hadn't even been near the booths all night, although he so deeply wanted to buy a kiss from... Ah well. That chance had passed, thanks to his spinelessness.

He turned his uneasy smile back to the two visitors. "I'm sure whoever you made mad, didn't mean to be; most people here are nice enough. Although, I don't know them all... Oh, wait, was the one you made mad floating? Blue?" Aph figured the most easily-angered person in the whole area would no doubt be Roux. The child in particular, Aph could imagine getting on Roux's nerves very fast. Or perhaps, they'd run into Julian? "If it was a man with glasses and short brown hair, he's not mean, he just reads a lot and, erm... Well, ok, maybe he's a bit mean, but he doesn't mean to! He's just... Well." Aph stopped, not knowing why he felt he needed to defend the other owners.
