Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Mouse took care of the people who had ordered or spoken to her first, Ani waited patiently, though she probably didn't look it; while waiting for things, she had a habit of doing idle motions, and the one taking over now was her biting her lip and bouncing one of her legs on the balls of her feet. In fact, she probably looked agitated by the wait, but any semblance of that attitude--absent as it truly was--disappeared as soon as Mouse turned back to her and Tony.

Bioengineering and black magic... a soul... and magical substances?

Ani wanted to laugh. Was this for real? It sounded too complete to have been thought up on the spot, but all the same... Concerned by Mouse's response, Ani turned to glance over at the two Raevan's who were now accompanied by a third, an incredibly androgynous one with fairy wings.

...Totally a believable explanation.

"Thank you very much," she nodded to Mouse, not sure if she had actually heard it as she was getting pretty busy, and if Ani asked any more questions while she was being bombarded, she would feel guilty. Trudging back a bit with Tony, she tugged Tango along as gently as she could, only then noticing that he was distracted. "Oh! Are-... are you the one from earlier?" she tilted her head a bit, crouching down behind Tango who didn't seem to want to budge, just laying there panting, occasionally pawing at Kale.

Kale felt the tug on Tango and looked up to Ani about to ask what was happening when Ani interrupted. A bit saddened by the question he replied with a nod and whispered a reply. Raising up from his knees he stood eye level with Ani and bowed slightly. "I-I'm sorry for d-doing something w-wrong if I d-did."

Fidgeting with his hands he tried to shake off the notion to run off but the moment he almost did he froze still and keeled down once more petting Tango before standing up again. "Sorry."

Tsu had the "privilege" of being between two rather charismatic people. Of very opposite walks. On one side he had Aki, and the kiss that could melt the most frigid of ices, and then his old friend We`rika. A very... hot and passionate fellow. "Ummm... thank you!" Tsu said politely taking a swig from the tequila bottle that We`rika had thrust at him. Alcohol was definitely key if he was going to be in the middle of whatever spat these two were having.

"Welll... things have been a little rocky between Zave and myself.... but other than that... it's the same ol' routine every day." He told the passionate shaman.

Turning to Aki, Tsu flashed a smile at the female beside him. "I'm glad to see you under much more welcome circumstances. Judging from the female floating there by Sevilin, it seems that Meli has managed to grow up beautifully." He mixed a little shop talk with casual friends.

Feeling the tension spring up he looked between the two a little torn. "Erm... am I interrupting something...?"

Zave floated lower to the sand, it's not like he had to worry about cleaning sand out of everywhere. His rune was magic, it's not like that would get too gross. Although he was torn... it wasn't really that fun making sand castles alone. Sand Castles in the sand. By time he got to a quiet patch, he noticed another raevan very bright and gold just looking out at the water. He silently watched her and floated towards the edge of the ocean himself. "Hello" he called out. Judging from her ribbon and lack of a waste he knew she was a frei like him. Still she was one he hadn't seen before.

Ani stood up as he did, looking down at Tango who mimicked the both of them. Giving a small glance back to Tony, she smiled a bit and shook her head, "No, no. Don't worry. We were just gonna go closer to the shore, though," she pointed with her thumb towards the waves that were crashing against the darkened sands. She wasn't quite sure of this guy's relation to the Lab, but if he knew anything, she was interested to hear it.

Just as well, Tango didn't seem bothered by him at all. Quite the opposite, in fact, so she doubted any dangers for the time being.

A quick couple of clicks with her tongue and Tango was right at her side again, walking with she and Tony. Whether Kale followed was entirely his decision, but she wouldn't much mind it.

Aki shook her head silently in response to Tsu's question, and flashed him another smile before lifting her eyes to Mouse. Giving her a nod of thanks, lifting the drink, Aki left a few bills on the bar and excused herself. At least Pasha was enjoying herself...that was worth any measure of rude gestures!

Melisande accepted her new drink from Aki absently, forgetting to say thank you. She poked the umbrella and realized there were other people here now...looking from Dayo to Lucia with wide eyes. They were both pretty, and so unfamiliar. And only one had a drink! She was glad for Sevvie's presence by her side. "Would you like this one?" She held it out to Lucia. "I can get another for me, and another for Sevvie!"

This time, Aki sighed.

Mouse blinked. Was that kid high or something? "No, uh... Raevans are manmade." She turned back to Tsu.

"Call me Mouse, I should be on the guardian roster or whatever you have at the Lab," the mechanic explained. If she could have read Tsu's thoughts, then she would have imagined he could guess that the 'I-B-T-C' printed on her forest green bikini top was an abbreviation for 'Itty Bitty Titty Committee'. Better to be proud of it than be frustrated! Or at least that's how she thought of it.

Tsu's new orders were on the table a couple of moments after they were ordered. Making drinks was fun!

Lucia's eyes smiled at Pasha as she nodded slightly and accepted the drink. "Thank you. . ." she pulled the umbrella out, licked the drink off of the toothpick end and slid it so it nestled in her ear. She combed her fingers through her hair nervously, unsure of herself and not appreciating the feeling.

She was a little unsure of how to take in these raevans. "I'm Lucia," she told whoever was listening. Her voice was gentle, slightly high pitched, though fairly sultry.

Yuurei sipped her drink and watched the raevans' interactions from afar.

Melisande had tried to ignore the whispers, but she could feel people staring at them, and it made her a bit flustered. While she was in swimshorts, no less! Fidgeting a bit, she cast a small, shy smile to the young man watching her, wishing she were braver. So much attention!
