Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Damien : Twilight Town : Streets -> Train Station}

Damien had been in no real hurry to get to the academy, and it showed by how he had chosen to spend his free time. However, his spare time had passed, now it was time to hurry up and get to the school. He raced through the streets, gliding above them actually on his solar surfer as he rode towards the station. The surfer looked a lot like surfboard combined with an engine and a sail. The hexagonal cells of the sail glowing and casting off light as they rode on the solar waves from the sun.

"Jim, give us some speed," Damien said, his attention focused on steering the sail so that they didn't crash into the street or anything else below.

"Right," Jim Hawkins, his galiant replied and without another thought his foot pressed the switch in the base of the board to ignite the engine.

The boost of speed drove the Solar Surfer higher up causing both surfer and galiant to hold on tight to the handles so as not to fall off. Despite his concentration, Damien smiled. This was what he loved to do to unwind. The wind rushing through his black hair oddly enough helped him relax. He began his descent though as they approached the station. After circling around a few times Jim cut the engines and Damien folded up the sails so they didn't catch the solar rays. He then folded down the mast and locked it into place on the board.

"I've got this, you get your bags," Jim stated as he waited for his keeper to unstrap his bags from the board.

"Sure, you grab the lighter thing," Damien stated sarcastically as he unfastened the straps that held his trunk to the board.

The keeper knew that it was the other way around, the board with all of it's components attached was a fair bit heavier than his belongings. With a sigh he hoisted his bag up by the handle and ascended the steps into the station. It wasn't hard for him to spot the train that would take them to the academy. The two of them boarded the train, Jim leaning the large solar surfer against the wall as he took a seat opposite from Damien.

"So, Nervous about this year at the Academy?" the galiant asked, crossing his legs at the ankles as he leaned back a bit on the bench.

"A bit, I suppose I should be since it's my last year," Damien replied looking up at the ceiling as he tried to relax.

[Rebecca~ Land of Departure ~ Dorm Room 118]

"A theif and assassin sound really cool." Rebecca admitted and laughed when Zikomo called herself awesome.

Rebecca's face showed a tiny bit of dislike in her new nickname that Mizu gave her but decided against speaking out about it. "I guess I am part of a group here called 'tactic students'" Rebecca spoke nervously and started stroking through Iago's feathers. "I can tell what your weakness is in a glance along with some other information. Probably not as cool as your specialties but it is still something."

Rebecca then looked over to the guy that had spoken and waved at him. "Hello there." Rebecca said nicely before looking to Iago about ready to clam her hand on his beak if he decided to say anything to the man.

{Mizu .:. Land of Departure .:. Dorm Room 118}

"I should just to see if people really do bounce," Mizu said thoughtfully, casting her eyes up to the ceiling and rubbing her chin thoughtfully. She held that pose for a minute and shrugged. "Well, if you can find seating space, make yourself at home. I may or may not be able to provide food depending on if the loudmouth bird over there can keep his beak shut or not."

"Mizu, your stuff is all over everything. I don't think there's enough room in here for another person!" Chip protested. His tiny hands were on his hips in the sternest pose the chipmunk could manage.

"He has hands, he can move anything he needs to."

"Even your underwear?" Dale asked, holding up a lacy white pair with a little pink bow in the front.

"Even my unde--WHAT?!"

[Rebecca~ Land of Departure ~ Dorm Room 118]

"I guess not," Rebecca smiled lightly and giggled when Zikomo made the motion. "But I think I am starting to trust you guys."

Iago quickly turned to Mizu because of her comment "Why I ought to, you better keep your mouth shut or I might-"

"Quiet Iago," Rebecca spoke to the bird "I thought I said I wanted to try and make friends this year. "

"Your losing it 'Becca'" Iago said, using Mizu's voice once again while using Rebecca's new nickname. "Besides, friends are overrated anyway."

Rebecca decided to ignore the bird and looked up to Mizu and Zikomo. "Again I am really sorry about him, just ignore him and he will stop talking. Anyway I guess I can sit on the floor if it is not-" Rebecca chuckled when Ferven sat on the bed and moved away some of Mizu's clothes along with some of her unmentionables.

"I guess everything is fine then," Rebecca said deciding to take a spot on the floor.

[Artemis :: Land of Departure :: Hallway]

Artemis looked away from Jack to see a pair of very lacy panties making its way towards them. The two looked towards each other, then the panties, then towards Zikomo running towards the pair. He looked back down at the panties, smirking immensely. He was favored by some higher power today; it wasn't often he got a chance to totally humiliate his rival. When she referred to him as 'Shorty', he could feel a small headache coming on. He hated that he was below average height; the fact that she continued to mock him for it after five years were like nails on a chalkboard. The young man shrugged it off and looked up to Zikomo with a polite smile.

"Oh, hello, Zero. Dear, there are much easier ways to say 'I want you' than flinging your LACY PANTIES AT ME." He made sure to yell the last part loud enough for people in the dorms to hear. The game had begun.

[Serenity ; Marie : Land of Departure : Hallway ; Room 118]

Within the room where everyone had gathered. A little playful kitten had slipped her way inside. She was curious on her new surroundings so she went for a walk. She had been so focused on everything around her that not only did she get herself lost, but separated from her keeper. Which was something that had yet to bother her. She was having too much fun attacking random objects. As the kitten was looking around she soon spotted a couple of rodents that were jumping around. With a playful grin she started to crouch and wiggle her tail for a few minutes, waiting for the perfect moment..... then pounce attack aimed at Chip.

Meanwhile in the hallway, Serenity was searching for her little kitten. She, too, wasn't paying attention to where she was going. Or what was going on around her. Serenity was more worried about her kitten.

"Marie!" Serenity yelled out, from just down the hall from Artemis and Zikomo, "Marie, where are you?

[Artemis :: Land of Departure :: Hallway]

Jack stood frozen for a moment, before politely pulling away from Zikomo and grabbing Morph to stop the lips pressing against his head. He knew better than to step into the middle of the fray.

A classic maneuver, to be sure. But he was prepared for such a comment. "I'm afraid I can't allow this sort of relationship to happen! For you see, Jack is unfortunately a skeleton. Falling for him would only have you falling into a grave! And we can't have that now, now can we?" He sneered, running a hand through his hair. "Besides, the bone you seem to want from Jack is not the one you actually want. Unless you do. Then you're a sick, sick person."
