Welcome to Gaia! ::

Candice's black hair fell over her eyes as she searched through her bags her hands shaking slightly from a sugar rush. She sighed picking her camera up. "No one wants there pictures taken." She said sadly standing up and removing a bottle of medicine from her bag. "Here we are, this should regulate my blood sugar." She said to herself pouring several pills into her hands and sticking most in her pocket she popped one in her mouth and swallowed it. "I am going to stay up now!" She smiled walking out the door and collapsing in the hallway asleep, her legs still in her dorm but the rest of her body stretched out on the carpet of the hallway. "Eh?" She moaned sitting up. "My hormones are way out of whack." She said standing up straight she held her head which pulsed rapidly her temples throbbed. "My head is overflowing." She mumbled her legs like jelly she stumbled down the hall.

"I must've startled him," Kazuko thought guiltily. She hadn't wanted to interrupt his studies completely. However, he offered to walk her over to the chemistry classrooms before she could ask for directions, and she decided to take him up on it. It would've been rude not to.

"Thank you very much," she replied, stepping back a bit to let him clean up his work area. At least it seemed he had finished whatever it was he was doing.

No matter how he'd tried, Lite couldn't seem to grasp control over a board that was not on a moving surface. Granted he'd heard that skateboarding was similar to surfing, they were wrong. Whether he didn't trust the wheels, his feet or, his own weight. Lite was failing miserably with each passing attempt. Though he managed to move a few feet, Lite found himself wishing the ground would move the board for him, perhaps that was the benefit of surfing. As forgetful as he is, Lite found himself with some gumption, he was determined to get it right, and Huilliame's provocation just made it more solidified. Lite also found himself morally obligated to fall each time, and did not cushion himself at any cost, he would do this the hard and right way. While he was too focused on his own attempts, he could not help but feel better as Huilliame's jeers were pluralized in context. Lite was glad he wasn't the only one having troubles. It finally came down to every time he managed to get going his balance would shift. Bear closed his eyes in frustration and embarrassment as he hid on Lite's head, moving whenever he feared impact.

He was getting too complacent on the board, satisfied with just standing on it. But subconsciously he would push the air behind him as he did with surfing, leading to more falls. More than once he had mentally declared that he had fallen for the last time, Lite was lying to himself. When he had finally given up, he hadn't noticed that he was moving fairly competently. Probably because he wasn't focused, Lite tried to jump and ended up going a few feet too high for normalcy. "Goddamn powers, there should have been more smoke, that would have been a cool landing!" Nowhere near perfecting anything considered skill, Lite was happy enough with what he had done and accepted it enough to just mosey around the immediate area trying to better his incredibly amateur skill.

Feeling a little bad about taunting them, Huilliame went to the part where he helped them out. He first rode over to Aki and held out a hand for her to grasp while getting up. He whispered
"Another time and I'd give you a private lesson." He smiled nervously while pulling her up to her feet and skated round the back of her.
"Hope you dont mind, but this bits a little hands on." He said as he put his hands on her, his right on her right hip and his left on her back.
"Lean forward and lean slightly with your pushing foot to offset your weight on the riding foot." He slid off quietly to Lite who had used his powers.
"Okay Monsieur. Try putting your weight at the front and push only when you need to. Dont use your powers for this. It's all in the boy and mind." He said this in a level voice while holding his hand out for Bear.
"Your lizard had best come with me while you train. I'll put him in my skates bag. It has a strip of perforated fabric so he wont get out but he can breathe." He said, smiling.

Kazuko made a face. "Because I arrived at the school late, thanks to my mother. I missed all of the morning classes, so I'm going around to all the teacher's to apologize and get any work I missed. There hasn't been too much so far..." It was true; many of the first day classes were standard 'introduction' days, with very little actual work.

She continued to follow Sergey out of library and towards the science classrooms. "My names Kazuko, by the way," she added hastily. How silly of her not to introduce herself after he offered to escort her!

Kazuko followed the taller bird-man towards the classrooms. She was actually surprised at his height- most men were at her size. Not only was he a few inches taller than her, she suspected that he would be even taller if he straightened out those chicken legs of his.

"Don't call them chicken legs!" she mentally scolded herself. What if she accidentally slipped up and said that? How mean! It'd almost be as bad as her being called Gill-girl, or fin-head, or... or something else like that. Nope, it was best not to call attention to such things.

{i]"... never mind that I've been staring at his multicolored feathers this whole time while walking up the stairs. Good thing I'm behind him..."

"Which one...? Oh." Kazuko scattered her internal discussion, and dredged up her schedule, which (thankfully) had not been lost. "I believe it's..." she said, pointing at the room number placed boldly on her schedule.

((As of this post, Melody, Sam and Alwyn are at the field near the gym, Huilliame, Aki, and Lite are near the dorms, Sergey and Kazuko are in the Science wing, Marie and Arkell are in front of the Library, and Elaina is near them. That's all I can tell.))

Sam and Alwyn arrived at the meeting place at about four o'clock. As such, no-one else had shown up. "Okay," said the purple-haired boy, "It's only four now. We've about an hour before the Team meeting." He gave Alwyn a warm smile as he added, "What would you like to do in the meantime?"
