Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shaking his head as he noticed many people walking past him, Mark realized that he may have been walking the short trail for an hour or so in a daydream. He couldn't even remember what it was he was thinking about, but only because it wasn't important. Hurrying into the cafeteria, Mark looked around at the number of people who were already here, and some who had gone outside to eat.

Not really the social type, he decided just to sit at the first table he got to. Rushing to the line, he quickly got himself a plate filled over with eggs, bacon, sausage, and heavily buttered toast, with a glass of Sunny-D on the side. Sitting down, he immediately started drowning himself in his breakfast [not literally, of course!] in an attempt to quell his unusually large hunger.

Sam's eyes slowly blinked open. He turned his head toward the bed, noting the absence of a sleeping girl. Oh, good, he thought. Aya must have left already. As he stood up and began stretching, he saw Mrs. Ishida enter the room. The boy blushed a little and stopped mid-stretch. "Good morning, Mrs. Ishida," he said.

"Good morning, Sam," came the head nurse's warm reply. "Aya left to prepare for her classes. I do hope she won't skip breakfast... If you see that young lady in the cafeteria, make sure she eats something, even if it's just a piece of toast."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you, dear. Now, then, I've taken the liberty of retrieving some of your clothing from your dormitory, as well as the things you will need to freshen up this morning. You may use the staff showers; I'll make sure no-one disturbs you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ishida."

"No problem." Mrs. Ishida handed Sam a plastic bag containing the aforementioned items and left to continue her rounds.

The young empath made his way quickly toward the staff showers, closing the door tightly behind him. He disrobed and ran a quick shower. Wrapping his towel around his waist, Sam commenced the process of brushing his teeth and combing his hair. Now sufficiently dry, he put the towel and yesterday's clothes in the bag Mrs. Ishida had supplied. He donned a pair of polyester pants identical to the ones he wore the day prior, a dark blue belt shirt, a pair of black crossed belts, and the same moccasins. He tied a purple bow into his two-toned locks to complete the look, and exited the shower room.

Sam's next stop was the cafeteria. As he approached the double-doors to said building, he noticed a particularly avian fellow walking between two pretty girls. "Hello there, you three!" he said in his usual jovial mood. "Mind if I tag along?" The question was mainly directed toward the young man in the middle, who Sam thought the most likely to object.

“Hey,” Marie spoke while taking Sergey right arm, “We have Japanese History together!” She was happy to know that she knew someone in at least one of her classes.

Marie walked light footed until they reached the cafeteria. Unlinking her arm, Marie swept her way to the line getting some waffles with strawberries and whipped cream and a skim milk. She turned and spotted Logan sitting by himself. Marie though about joining him, but his face looked a little pained, so perhaps quiet would do him better.

Marie then spotted Mal sitting alone and went to join him. “Good morning, Mal,” Marie said politely. “I hope you night was restful. “May I, my roommate Alwyn, and Sergey, join you?”

((Ooc: I couldn’t resist, Alwyn. I want some right now SO badly!))

((Hey, no fair, Kiki! You ignored Sam! crying ))

((I know that, but Sam was attempting to strike up a conversation with her, Sergey, and Alwyn. Worry not, however. I can adjust.))

"Pardon me, milady," Sam said with a smile as he took a seat directly in front of Marie, "but that wasn't a very nice thing you did back there. You forgot the number one rule of being a good conversationalist: never ignore a friendly greeting. Not a very good first impression~! You're lucky I wait until the second impression. Otherwise..." He winked. "You'd've lost a potential friend."

“I’m sooo sorry,” Marie blushed deeply with regret, faintly remembering the interaction by the young man. She was busy thinking about Logan and totally ignored him. “I am very pleased to know I can have a second chance. I guess I'm a bit air headed. I really excited for the first day of classes.” Her face continued to redden a bit more. “I’m Marie Jakemen, it’s nice to not ignore you,” she attempted to joke lightly.

Tess frowned at Arkell's downtrodden tone. "I... I guess... I could sit with you. Exploring can wait until after classes." he mumbled, feeling a little stupid. "But I'm not going to eat anything..." he added. He still wasn't looking at her, but he trotted ahead a little, leading the way. "So get some food for yourself, and I'll find a place to sit." he murmured as they entered the cafeteria. His eyes found Sergey and narrowed a little, before he stood up on his hind legs and looked around for a place for he and Arkell to sit.

Arkell visibly brightened her hair giving a pleasent crackle in response to his being willing to eat with her. "I don't see why you won't eat....are you afraid of people looking at you funny?" She wasn't sure if he heard her. She shrugged and hopped into the line while he went and looked for a table for them to sit at. She got bacon, eggs, and toast (with extra bacon just incase Bane might want any) and then stepped out of the line grabbing a milk on her way out. She walked over to where Bane was standing up and she looked up at him in awe. "Your so tall!!"

Sergey's scowl did not leave his face and he harumphed ignoring Sam altogether in favor of his breakfast of pancakes. He quite calmly cut them up and began to eat, his eyes on his food.
