Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ow, ow, ow," Shiloh whined at the hand pushing his face away. It, however, was not enough to make him let go, and he clung to Otto with all his might. He saw that glint in America's eyes, like she was ready to colonize. But it was too bad for her, Shiloh had gotten here first. Or second... Or third... The important thing was he was here before she was and therefore Otto was his. They were going to have kittens.

"I'm already sorry. I'm sorry that you're here and I'm sorry that you think that you could possibly be the one for him. Poor misguided - hey!" The finger up his nose was a new, and quite unpleasant development. America might have been a lady, in the barest sense of the word, but all bets were off now and Shiloh shoved his hand at America's face, trying to push her away in the same manner she was pushing him.

He was careful to watch out for wayward nostrils.

The radiance of Otto was visible even through the small crowd of gathered suitors, but Edgar still managed to see him in all of his magnificence. And, as royalty, it was his divine right to have him. His first attempts went entirely unnoticed, since he was trying to get the heavenly creature's attention from where he stood behind America, who was notably taller than he was.

Frustrated, he stomped his feet and folded his arms.

"Fair sir!" he indignantly shouted. "We request thy betrothal! I bid of thee, become my queen and rule o'er the Dungeon Kingdom by my side!"

He pulled a circular object from his cloak, which appeared to be some sort of feminine crown that was inexplicably with him at all times, and waved it above his head.

Noah had been minding his own business and having an MRE.

Then Otto had arrived.

Noah was not quite brave enough to approach the most amazing vision of beauty he had ever seen in his life. Instead, he sat and stared across the cafeteria with laserlike focus and big, worshipful eyes.

Gale had been looking for Stormy, but had found Otto instead.

Close enough.

Ooh, finally! Finally, Otto was getting the appreciation he deserved!

Eva helpfully stood off to the side, arms crossed over he head as she nodded sagely and watched her boyfriend get hit on from every which way.

That was her Puppy. <3

Noah got up and drifted slowly - but not too slowly - over to the main door of the cafeteria, the one that led back to the dorms, and planted himself right there in the middle of the path in front of it. And continued to stare in faintly smiling adoration. He might not be able to approach his one true love, but he didn't want anyone else to take him away, either. Noah just wanted to look at Otto. Forever. That would be okay. Right?

Even Gale liked Otto!

This was more than Eva could ever ask for. In her heart, she shed a little tear at the fact that her friend and her boyfriend were finally getting along. Nothing like a suddenly tackle to break the ice.
