Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Beach Bar ]

Aki jumped a bit at the sudden shout, but it was the name that made her turn. "Sevilin?" She knew that Raevan...from the night of the sleep over! Melisande had mentioned his name, as it was the only bright spot of her evening. Aki's eyes widened as the Frei draped himself next to the clutzy young man, wondering what the hell was going on.

Pasha caught sight of the distraction as well, and slow recognition brightened her face. Though Sev was waving at Dayo, Melisande waved back as well...one sweet blossom unfolding from behind her ear. It had been such a long time, would he even recognize her?

We`rika's next snap of his neck hit the sea fairy in the head and he slapped him right back, slapping a belch right out of the guardian. "Ewwww!" The huichol only laughed at Sevilin's disgust and he just sighed, pulling hat down to create a barrier between them.

Dayo didn't seem to be paying attention to him, but he saw the pretty blond head of one girl turn and he wondered if she was a new Raevan. Nah, she was too familiar but she looked different-- and then he noticed she was longer than he. She was a grown Raevan. "Meli!" Sevilin squealed, leaving We`rika cringing into the counter, and floated over to the lovely girl and gave her a tight hug, so elated to meet his old friends again. "I'm, I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Look Cookie, isn't it nice outside?"

Indeed it was a nice day today! With the bright sun's warmth against his soft light tan skin and an endless clear sky stretching beyond him, he couldn't help but take out his little hamster out for a walk. Of course, it wasn't entirely a walk since he was just holding the little guy inside his transparent pink plastic ball.

One might find it odd that the a hamster is being taken out for a walk, but he believes everyone should get a fair amount of fresh air every now and then.

So why not a stroll to the beach?

And there he was standing before the sandy dominion. To his surprise it was filled with people and... was he imagining things?! There were half bodies floating! They looked human, but at the same time they didn't... What a concept, it doesn't make sense!

Could it be the summer heat getting to his head? Spotting the bar, he decided to cool himself down as he made his way towards what hopefully would put him at ease.

"I don't know about you Cookie, but beaches aren't the same anymore, are they?" he questioned his hamster who is busy scurrying around within the pink spherical confine.

Taking a seat at the bar, he put Cookie down on the counter and looked around for a refreshment that may help relieve his troubled mind.

"Zave, I trust you know where you'll find me...I'll be..."

"...in the shade of the bar... drinking booze and trying your hardest with all the women... but striking out. Zave finished for his owner.

"That last part was unnecessary. At least I have a better track record than him." Tsu complained to Zave, while pointing at We'rika... siting in the corner alone.

"You guys actually made a pretty good pair... why don't you join him?" Zave suggested smirking slightly, as he scanned the bar area for familiar faces. His face nearly radiated when he spotted Melisande over there, but she seemed to be catching up with an old friend... so he decided to wait on that. Instead he made his way further out towards the sand.... recalling the last time he made a castle with Rivener. Inwardly he wondered if the scorpion souled raevan would be coming too.

Meanwhile, Tsu begrudgingly took the seat next to We'rika and ordered himself a Long Island Ice Tea. It seemed girly, but at least it was something cold. "Long time no see, We'rika. How have you been?"

Pasha's arms were already open when Sevilin approached, and she returned the hug with great affection. "Sevilin!" She pulled back only when she remembered what she was wearing, and blushed as she motioned to Dayo.

"I met someone new!" Covering her embarrassment with a distraction (and one arm folded over her chest) Melisande beamed through her blush and patted Dayo on the shoulder with her other hand. "And I like your hat." The alst was said with a sage nod, though Meli was still smiling. It took her another moment to notice the new arrival...another female Raevan, with gorgeous eyes and a fall of dark hair. Meli waved out of habit, hoping the girl would join them.

Aki's brows lifted even further as Tsu took a set at the bar. Tsu meant Zave...and turning just for a moment Aki was able to spot the handsome Raevan. She smiled, one cheek dimpling, and made her way over.

"A virgin colada?" She looked to Mouse hopefully, unsure if she was too busy to pour another, and took a sip of her own drink before look back to the men. "Tsu, it's good to see you!" The warmth in her voice could have melted the ice in his drink, and she leaned down to air kiss the side of his cheek...flashing a flat look to We'rika as she did so.

((Beach parking lot--> Beach bar buffet))

When the two roommates finally arrived, Chris abruptly realized why she didn't come to parties--she didn't know anyone. But in the confusion of this morning with Cierra's announcement, Chris had frantically looked for something to grab on to, and this party had just happened to be what she'd found. She wondered what sort of sight the two of them made: two girls around 16 years old, both very tall at 5'8" and 5'9", Chris with short brown hair and brown eyes, Cierra with eerie green eyes etched with eyeliner and natural orangish red hair. One time a boy had been stupid enough to call Cierra "carrot head". He had promptly received a black eye and a reply of "Want another one, bunny boy?" Chris chuckled a bit at this memory, and Cierra raised an eyebrow in inquiry. "Just remembering about bunny boy," Chris told her, and small grin came across Cierra's face.

Looking back over at the party, Chris wondered how they would be able to join in--a problem that was abruptly solved by Cierra grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her across the parking lot and over to the buffet. Giving a squeak of dismay, Chris frantically moved her feet so that she wouldn't trip as she was dragged along. They arrived at the buffet, occupied by a good deal of people, and then Chris saw something that made all her complaints slip away. She saw the Raevans. Her mouth moved as if trying to talk, but no sound came out, and eventually she just stared in awe. Finally she remembered herself and stopped her staring, but she was still awestruck.

Cierra had also spotted the Raevans. Unlike Chris, when Cierra had spotted them, she had relaxed instantly and visibly. Giving a small smile, she said, "Apparently I'm going to fit in here better than I thought." And as usual, Cierra did not elaborate on why this was so.

((Beach Bar))


The huichol smiled genuinely when Tsu greeted him, turning back in his chair to face the bar and set his bottle back on the counter, poking at the empty glass restlessly. "No' bad, I guess, nothin' new ta repor' though. How 'bou' you?" He looked over the bar to see if Mouse was still around, but it looked like she was tending to someone else for now. "Ya can shoo' somma dis if ya wan'..." He offered over his bottle.

Well what the ********?! We`rika watched the ice queen lighten up when Tsu walked through. And that look she gave him! Ugh what a skankmo! She was going on his s**t list. He childishly stuck his tongue out at her, but the effect was kind of moot as he was pulled in another direction by a whining voice beside him.

He watched the guy with horrified amusement as he sputtered about about half floating bodies or some s**t. "******** if I know if there's any mango juice, ya'd hafta ask the bar tender tha'... And wha' abou' half floatin' bodies? Ya mean Raevans?


Sevilin's soft smile widened at the compliment, loving to hear compliments. He held the hat a bit self-consciously and brushed his pigtails back behind his shoulder. "And you're even prettier than before!" He cooed amiably, almost envious of her long pretty curls. Almost.

"Oh yes..." He nodded as Melisande motioned towards Dayo. "I met her a few weeks ago when our uhmm car broke down. Mouse and she helped us out!"
