Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riku came walking in the cafeteria doing his own dance, playing Never Wanted to Dance by Mindless Self Indulgance. With the Winter Ball coming up, he needed to practice his dancing so he could make a fool of himself like he did the past two years... with of course, the help of a hacked/corrupted DJ stand to play break dancing music. However, he stopped himself for a second, and thought about the irony of what he was doing, compared to the song he was listening to. The thought made him laugh a bit before the song ended and began playing some christmas tunes. Showing his ID, he was given his regular meal of fresh waffles and bacon. He took a seat and began to eat.


Ken had just woken up, and was already hating the day. It was cold outside, and being cold made him use more of his fire element than he wanted to, and he didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night due to a weekly nightmare of watching his brother die in his hospital bed. Those were the nights he just didn't quite want to rest...

However, he would have to be awake, as today, he needed to attend class if he wanted to attend the ball that was going to be popping up around next week. He needed to be in school for a total of four days. He was going to attend them for two reasons. One, was for Riku. That guy needed someone to take over the DJ stand, and no one else had the guts to do it other than himself.

And two, was because Trey had asked him to go. It probably meant a lot to her, and as someone who was in debt, he couldn't quite back out. He too, arrived in the cafeteria, showing his ID and recieving loads of assorted meats, and a small bit of french toast. Ken took a seat by himself and began to eat, too.


Tai, on the other hand, compared to the two Black Knights, was already awake, and one of the first in the cafeteria. He hadn't gotten much sleep either, he woke up early in an attempt to find a way to apologize for kicking Mandy out of his dorm in what was apparently a harsh manor. However, he wasn't quite sure how he should apologize, and so, he remained in a far off corner, eating pancakes and sasuage on the side as slowly as he could. Taking anywhere from two seconds, to two minutes before taking another bite.

Tai was startled by the sudden voice of Astin and abrubtly yanked him out of his thoughts. His glasses slid down a bit, and he immediately pushed them back up. "Good morning, Miss Astin." He replied with a slight jolt of the hand intended as a wave. "I didn't sleep as good as I thought, the dorm being new and all, but I'll get used to it." He remembered last night and thought it would be best if such details were to remain left out of this conversation. "Ah, I'll get started on those after school today. I was planning on asking a few of my Juniors and Seniors if they would like to help freeze the roses, and perhaps build a large ice cavern in front of the school." He then lowly muttered, "God knows we have enough water outside for it.." Raising his voice back up to it's normal tone, he asked, "So, Astin, you look rather nice this morning, so I take it you slept well at least?"

Mandy glanced around the room; she’d noticed a rather short grey eyed black haired woman, whom she believed was the Ace of the Court staring at her chest. Quickly she pulled out a piece of paper and wrote on it If you want to see them or touch them all you have to do is ask sweetie. If you want, I’ll meet you at the Library during first period Once she finished writing the note she folded it up and skipped off towards the woman who stared at her chest. Dropping the note in front of the Ace, she winked and skipped off.

As she made her way towards the door Mandy noticed Tai sitting in the corner of the room. However, he wasn’t alone; it appeared as if another Court member was talking to him. Trying to steal HER man, how could she let anyone do that? Well, he wasn’t her man yet but, he would be all she had to do is wait.

Turning in the direction of Tai she adjusted her modified school uniform. The shirt was in a crop top style, showing off her well endowed chest, the jacket she had buttoned up so that it was just under her chest making them lift up and appear even bigger. The skirt, was only three inches bellow her butt, that way if and when she bent over everyone would get a view of everything.

She kept walking towards Tai and the Court member. Once she got near she smiled and looked at them both. “Um, Tai, I’d like to talk about yesterday if you don’t mind.” She said bringing her hands together in a sort of prayer, her arms squeezing her chest together. “I mean, unless you’re too busy...”

Tai smiled and took a bite out of his own bit of pancakes before continuing. "I guess it was. And you think sleeping on a piano was bad." He grinned a bit wider as an attempt to hold back his laughter. "You should've seen me back when I was here. I managed to fall asleep on the stairs. Not just once, but three times." His smile disappeared when she compliment his appearance, and he turned a bit red and looked down at his food to hide it. "Ah, thank you. And preoccupied doesn't even begin to describe it." He began, his cheeks now only lightly stained by the blush they had earlier. "Planning something and actually doing them are two entire different things. I've had to rework my lesson plan about three times due to a few classes getting off to a rough start."

Once again, Tai was caught off guard by yet another voice from none other than Mandy. He looked up from his plate of food and the first thing he noticed (although he did his best not to notice,) was the overly modified uniform. Yes, it was the uniform, but dear God, it might as well have been a bikini. "Ah, sure. I was just finishing up." He coughed a bit and left his plate for the cafeteria workers to take. "Stop by my class after school, and we'll talk more then, Astin." He gave her a pat on the back and followed Mandy.

Looks like he'd have to apologize quicker than intended.

Lunaru shook violently then softly and back and fourth and everything in between over, and over again. He looked at Astin with a smile

"y-y-y-you'll s-s-see!' he said stammering still shaken and wet.

Inside he was really beginning to warm and it wasnt just from the hot eggs in his belly.

Lunaru eyeballed Mandy as she left with Tai. He looked at the features of the uniform and almost immediately stopped shivering altogether as his face began to flush red in thought, "Damn, attention grabbing much. He didnt want to put such thoughts into his young mind. He put his head down and began to shiver again as the thoughts slowly faded and the old thoughts of his accomplishment returned.



((bad post i know but i wanted to answer astin sorry))

Misa was rather startled when the girl stood up and revealed that her crisp white uniform had been horribly modified to show off her body, and she was even more alarmed when the girl dropped a piece of paper in front of her, but before she could say anything, like ' Put some actual clothes on.' The girl had already skipped away.

Mystified the Ace of the Upper Court of took a sip of her green tea and opened up the note. As soon as she scanned the first line she choked and almost spit out her mouthful of hot liquid. Coughing she dabbed at her mouth with a clean napkin and swiveled her head around to look at girl who was now standing in front of the table where Astin and the white haired guy was. I'm going to guess that that one is going to be trouble. The Ace thought as she regained her composure and stared at the trio at the table.

Then a Lower Court member seated himself in front of her shivering badly. Her dark lashed eyes widened slightly at his question.

"Certainly." The Ace said her heart shaped face concerned as she put her small hand on the boys arm, and let warmth leave her small body to heat up his smaller one." What were you doing outside without proper clothes on?" The Ace admonished the boy, then she nodded to the Joker who had joined the table and gave the blonde haired girl a friendly smile before concentrating back on the task of warming up the young boy.
