Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sergey smiled and continued to speak with the softer bass voice he seemed to have adopted instead of his usual loud one, "I learned to play before my mutation happened. Vhen I leved vith my father ve had an old piano in the house that use to beh my grandmothers. Vhen my father vas not home I taught myself how to play, along vith getting some help from my school's musik teacher." He gulped and blushed slightly as her pinky touched his and blushed even more when she pulled it away suddenly causing him to look away from the sheet music and screw up a few of the notes though he bounced back quickly. "I'm good with bass clef, I suppose et is because that is my vocal capacity as vell..."

"That's nice, about a piano being in your family for two generations. I don't care if an old piano is out of tune. I just say it has its own brand of sound." Marie stared at her hands, glancing over at Sergey's rough ones. "Y-your hands have taken on quite a life, from how hard they look. I'm glad they can still find the piano keys so well."

The pages ended, even though it could easy loop. Her voice dropped back into its controlled state. "Lunch will end soon, you best eat... and I suppose I should at least get an manzana er... apple before class." Marie stood putting her papers away a little less gracefully, still being to close to him for her to be normal.

(( I have a surprise for you guys that I hope will run well. I'll have it announced after the next batch of classes. I'll probably have the training schedules together for the next day, as well.
Still need people to work on group names, too.. We only have one group who's named at the moment.

Lunch will continue for a little bit longer, and then I'll have everyone move onto classes again.))


Tess wondered what Arkell was doing. He -did- say he would hang out with her... He frowned at his food. And then inhaled it. He was coughing a little when he came out of hiding and froze as he saw Arkell sitting alone outside. He gritted his teeth and sighed, holding himself back from turning around and walking away. He slowly went up to her and gave a minor wave with the hand not holding the tray with his trash on it. "Eh... Hey." he mumbled with a meek smile. "Why aren't you sitting inside?"

((Correct me if I'm wrong, EKA, but today is the first day of classes. Yesterday was only an arrival day.))

"Right," was Matt's reply as they parted for their individual classes. He found his way to his morning clases without incident.

Linguistics was a subject that had always fascinated Matthew, so he was glad to be taking this class. As he soon discovered, they would even be delving into fictional languages later in the year.

Next was Physics. His teacher was thankfully an animated character, helping to ease the boredom that comes with such a class.

At Sociology, Matthew and Elaina managed to get seats near each other. They were only able to chat for a minute before classes began, though. Sociology was a borderline class; it could be quite engaging at times, but it could also be dreadfully droning. Matt and Elaina werent able to converse long after this class either, because she had to prepare for PE.

Without too much to do (it being the first day of classes), he lounged his dorm. Between enjoying some television in the lobby, he finished up unpacking and organizing his various belongings in his room.

Before he knew it, lunch had arrived. He slowly walked over to the cafeteria, letting the hungrier and more eager students pass by him. He looked around at the other students before entering, hoping to find somebody to eat with.

"Wait! Mari..." was all sam managed to get out, before Marie descended into the orchestra pit. Driving that wedge, he thought bitterly. He walked slowly down the aisle, swearing under his breath in Gaelic.

Sam stopped next to Sergey's seat and placed a hand on the avian boy's shoulder, saying, "First off, my intention was not to make Marie cry. Second, I told you we needed to talk. About Marie." His face was now as serious as it could get.

Alwyn Popped into veiw. She smiled.Her only problem was she couldnt remember sam. "Was he the one who was helping me over here?" She asked from hr bed "When do i get to go?" She asked wondering how long she had been there.

Candice's head perked up and she yawned for a moment, she looked around and stood up glad she did not sleep through all of lunch. She picked up the tray full of ruined foods and dumped it into the trash. Candice walked back over and picked up all the juices. "Hulliame!" She smiled removing a juice. "I got all my friends juice. "You like jell o juice right?"

Sergey's scowl deepened as he gritted his teeth while the boy badgered on. "If you vere a flirt, I vould say you are doing shetty job as she just ran away crying, gurls do not enjoy such things. And...ded I evah say that I thought you insulted her ealier? No I don't think, en fact, I don't thenk I even SPOKE vith you earlier. I thenk you are an a** because you keep poking nose vhere it not belong!" He gave him another good shake and then tossed him away from him as if he were nothing more than a rag doll. "I vill say thes again, Lev me alone, or next time I vill send you to the infirmary." he said gruffly as he turned away to fix up the piano and set the cover back down over the keys. He glanced over his shoulder at the boy "and...don't tell anybody about the piano..." he set the cover down and began to walk off towards stage left to see if he could help Marie find her sheet music and make sure she was alright.
