Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tristelle raised an eyebrow, confused as she looked around the Entrance Hall. This was not where she had planned on ending up. She sighed and pulled out her map, looking it over a couple times before figuring out her mistake. She sighed and folded her map back up, putting it away. She had turned the wrong way. She cursed quietly and looked behind her, making sure Pippin and Nisa were keeping up with her.

Rhm was running down the hall, dodging people and smiling, looking back every couple feet and slowing down for Jonas. He came to the section of the building where all the halls met and saw a group of Nekos talking together. He veered left to say 'hi' (the only other Nekos besides him in his village were just passersby getting supplies). He ran past the Entrance Hall and -WHAM!- crashed right into a girl with black hair who had had her head down looking at a map. Rhm fell back and Pan quickly went to his chest and out of the way of the floor.

Rhm got up and rushed to the girl. "Sorrysorrysorrysorry sorry! Are you OK?" he asked her.

Tristelle looked up at the guy and took a second to realize what had taken place. It had happened so fast. "Yeah." She said with a chuckle, standing up. "I'm fine. It's okay." She forced a smile, something that had been hard for her to do naturally over the past few months. Nisa squeaked and held onto Tristelle's jeans with one paw, while Pippin growled at the neko. "Pippin, knock it off." Tristelle said, rolling her eyes, "Sorry about him."

Tristelle hesitated. She knew it probably wasn't the best idea to go with them, but she had just drank before she got there, so it should be safe. Besides, if she declined, then showed up at the Rec Room, they would wonder why she hadn't wanted to come. "Sure." She finally said with a shrug. "I was just heading there myself... I'm Tristelle, by the way. This is Nisa," She said, pointing down to the white one, "And you know Pippin." She said with a sigh. "They're my familiars." She looked to Pan, who seemed weary of her. Maybe she had already figured out what she was... She really hoped that wasn't the case. "Nice to meet you both."

"Great! Nice to meet you, too, Tristelle!" Rhm looked down at the familiars. "And nice to meet both of you two, too." He called over to Jonas, "We're going to go on ahead! Catch up when you can!" He turned back to Tristelle and smiled brightly. "Let's go!" He grabbed her and hand and practically dragged her along.

"I don't know about this girl, Rhm," Pan said.
"Oh you always say that about about new people," Rhm though-scoffed back.
"Fair enough, but I really mean it this time. There's something... off. Black."
"Well, maybe she's a vampire. The brochure said all races were welcome."
Pan seemed to mull this over, "Well... maybe. But we've met other vampires already, I'm sure of it. But she seems, I don't know, out of place. Not awkward, but she reminds me of someone riding a bike for the first: afraid they're going to fall off if they push the pedal even a little bit."
It was Rhm's turn to mull. "I guess... but she seems fine. Besides, we're in a school. A school of the abnormal. There's bound to loads like her running around."
Pan just sat silent on his shoulder.

"I know! It's sugoi!" (in his excitement, Rhm had slipped into using a word he had picked up from his Japanese foster-father. He had always used it when something was really impressive, and Rhm assumed it meant 'amazing', though he had never thought to ask him. When he said it, he stretched the '-oi' part out just like he had) "I've never been anywhere this big. Not even close." He saw a sign with an arrow on it pointing the direction they were going. Under it was written 'Recreation Rooms'. Rhm slowed his pace as they neared their destination. "The village I came from consisted of pretty much one-story deals. Except for the Mayor's house, which was two stories." He laughed. "And I thought that was big!"

(( Btw, I have NO idea if I spelled 'sugoi' right xd ))

((First off, a big thanks to Surf_dude55 for taking care of the drama while I was gone. I owe you big!

Secondly, a word to busterman1213: the rules clearly state that every post you make must be at least FIVE SENTENCES in length. Two or three is just not enough--not just for you, but for the players interacting with you. I'll let you off with a warning this time, but remember: the more detailed a post, the more able fellow roleplayers are able to interact with you accordingly. Don't just say Acarian shut the door, say he slammed it angrily. Describing emotions/thoughts is a great way of adding meaningful detail, as is adding emotions/thoughts BEHIND a character's actions. Also thanks to selphie395 for helping out meganargetlam.

Also, a final note: I have control over most of the elements in this RPG: time, location, passage of time, placement of characters...basically, if it's an element outside something your character could reasonably change, don't mess with it. Asako can't bend the time-space continium--neither can you. I'll be back on tomorrow with my actual post, I just had to be modly tonight.))

(( You are absolutely right, Surf_dude. I got their names mixed up. I've gone back and changed them, thanks for the heads up ))

Rhm nodded and wondered idly, "I wonder how long it took to build?" They approached a door marked 'Rec Rooms', when he quite abruptly realized he was still holding Tristelle's hand. He quickly dropped it and used the same hand to open the door. It was one of those big double-doors you always find on gyms and things and opened easily. Inside, he could immediately see the pool and the weight room through big windows. The rec room and mess hall must be down the hall some more. He turned to Tristelle. "Where should we go first?"
