Welcome to Gaia! ::

Namini winced as she felt her tail bone fall onto the rough sand, emitting a small squeal as well. She was eliminated, and so soon! Disappointed in her flexibility, the brunette decided to cheer on her friend instead, though kind of female intuition was ringing in her ears. The boy seemed to be behaving uncomfortably... Putting on her loveliest smile, she decided to keep the conversation upbeat in hopes of shooing away whatever was ailing the boy, "It's alright, I'm pretty clumsy anyways, so I didn't think I would get too far. -she giggled- And a million times, huh? I wonder if David's tough enough to handle that many shots. I mean, yes, he acts tough but I get to see the side that most people don't even get a peek at. He's really very kind and understanding, really! But he could learn a thing or two from you, Josh."

She seemed to beam even more as the compliments continued, hoping her small signs of affection were brightening the boy, "You're very considerate of others and that's why you make such a wonderful friend! One day, you'll make someone very happy!"

Her words seemed to fade off for a moment, as if Namini were carefully choosing her next set of words, but the thoughts were cut short as she spotted a familiar figure approaching the event. Waving to David, she began to explain to the man how she had already been eliminated. David sighed, infuriated that he had picked up the Gatorade for nothing. ...That's when, in the corner of his eye, he spotted Ebony stretching and preparing herself for the next round. Immediately, he patted Namini lovingly on the head and took a spot from the sides, waving playfully at Ebony, wondering how she would react at his appearance. Namini pouted, "Oh yeah, Josh. David could definitely learn a thing or two."

((Limbo – Round 1))

A small shiver ran down RoChan’s spine causing her to shudder slightly. There was something a bit ominous about it, before it quickly dissipated. She almost laughed as the boyish half body she had very briefly spoke to bumped right into the bar. It was quite embarrassing indeed but it would only clear his mind she supposed. With a shrug the blue haired woman strode up to the lower bar for her second attempt. Bending back ever so slightly RoChan began her trek under the bar.

Looking around, Damien spotted many of the participants of the paintball competition, including Lucia who he had met during the first round of paintball. Curious, he watched for a while, wondering how the half-bodied creatures played limbo, before remembering that he also was a part of the event. Shaking his head, he made sure to keep an eye out for the other raevans that went under the pole.

He ran around to the end of the line, beating Altair who had gone before him in the previous round. Taking a deep breath, he proceeded towards round two hoping for the best.

.ll Limbo ll.

Josh smiled sheepishly as he took on a full frontal assault of compliments. He wasn’t expecting such a sweet bombardment from the girl so he was taken aback by her sentiments. Josh made a move to help Namini to her feet after her limbo disaster. Yet this only made more flattery come from her rosy lips. The boy fought the urge to blush at the sudden overwhelming praise. He shook off his embarrassment and replied coolly, “You give me too much credit Chickie.” Josh did notice how Namini’s words seem to break off at the end of her last sentence; they hung uncomfortably in the air. So he would make ‘someone’ happy? Josh understood the meaning of the phrase, but the words seemed to stir some kind of uncertainty in his chest.

Josh’s attention broke as he saw David, once again, flirting. The boy could already feel his anger simmering once more. Josh hoped that one day the foolish guy would get a taste of his own medicine. If luck was on his side, maybe Ebony would be the one to prescribe it today. He glowered at the imprudent man and made his way back to the limbo line for his second turn.

Pasha laughed at her own attempt, and pressed her hands against her pink cheeks. She wasn't very good at this! It didn't seem to be just her...even Zave seemed to be getting some pointers! Offering Lucia and Zavier a happy wave, Pasha made her way through the line...taking a deep breath when it was her turn again.

"Here I go! Limbo!" Calling out in a sweet, sing song voice, Meilsande bent carefully back and gave it a second try. If only she wasn't so full!

Carefully, she slipped well under the bar, and laughed in delight as she straightened on the other side. She did it!

Niksia was waiting in line for the next round of limbo when a man she hadn't met before came up and started talking to her. Her wide brown eyes blinked in surprise, she had to be the only person who found it strange when someone decided to speak to her. She ran the fingers of her free hand through her hair nervously as she tilted her head up to talk to the slightly taller stranger.

'Hi. You could sort of call me new as well, I've attended a few Lab gatherings but I haven't really gotten close to anyone.'

With a little smile she shrugged a little at his mention of his friends. 'I haven't heard of them, sorry. You'd be amazed how hard it's been to pin anyone down today.'

She offered a little pause before adding with amusement, 'And I guess I will talk to you.'

Lucia's eyes sparkled at Zave as he accepted her help. "Yes. Me and Rivener were there, but don't be embarassed." She looks around to make sure no one was listening to their conversation and whispered, "I did paintball and I was really bad at it." She smiled sheepishly at Zave. As Pasha waved at them, she waggled her wings back and explained, "You weren't leaning back right. I'm sure once you lean back right you'll be great."

Lucia curved back, her upper body twisting so that her right shoulder was well above her left. "This is how you did it." Lucia then flattened her shoulders so that her back was straight and she was more even with the ground. "You need to keep you shoulders flat. Then you'll go under without bumping the bar at all." She pulled her body upright and looked up at Zavier. "Why don't you try?"
