Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aiden paused mid-step, feeling something wrong with Mira. He turned his attention to her in an instant, eyes going wide. "M-Mira?" He never meant to ignore Andy, but feeling such a sudden wave of emotion from Mira had set off his inner alarms. "Mira are you okay?"


"Th-that's not true at all! S-Sonnet means a lot to me and if you knew anything about me at all you'd know that." He practically hissed his reply back in anger, but what she said next made him rethink that reaction. "What do you mean?" He paled again, only managing to keep himself from running to Sonnet's dorm because of Rasiel's sudden presence next to him.

If he weren't so worried about Sonnet he'dve been the happiest person on the planet, but unfortunately Sumi had said something that made it sound as if Sonnet were dying, or was already dead. "N-no, no dancing..." He looked up at Rasiel, still bearing his panicked expression. Rasiel did quite a bit to calm him down, but Sumi... Sumi was setting him off all too well. "Sh-she's okay though, right? She's not hurt? Oh god, what if she's..." He couldn't continue with that train of thought, it was too awful, too horrifying. "I-I have to go see Sonnet right now." He attempted to pull away from Rasiel, desperate for some sort of assurance that Sonnet was fine.

Angry with him for being stupid, but fine. He could handle her being angry with him, that he expected and more than deserved from her. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if she got hurt because of his stupidity though.

Rasiel frowned a little at Deskri's persistence to see Sonnet. "That's fine. If you really want to see her, I won't stop you. I'll just stay here and wait for you." he smiled reassuringly, he was still keeping an eye on the girl, unsure if she had something to do with Deskri's sudden panic. He could assume that the girl was talking about Sonnet and alluring to her being in need of some sort of help. He was reluctant to believe her, but remembering that he may have actually hurt Sonnet, it didn't seem so impossible. Rasiel was worried but trusted that Deskri could handle himself, so he let go of him, letting him decide what to do for himself. "I'll be fine here, besides, I don't know if I can really handle it if I went..." he added, insisting that he not go and rather did anything else.

Mira leaned her head on Edmund and sighed, beginning to calm back down. "M-mira.. is fine... She thinks she may just be thirsty..." she spoke softly as she then slowly pushed herself up from Edmund and back onto her feet. She smiled reassuringly and looked to her brother. "Don't worry about Mira.. She is fine, just dizzy is all.." she reassured as she took Edmund by the hand. "Does Edmund want to go with Mira to get a drink?" she asked, trying to make everything seem like it was all okay now.

In the moment of her straining that had just previously happened on the dance floor, she had had a vision of things to come. It was normally for her, but it was always hard to predict when she'd see what was in the future. It came to her at random and showed her things that may not matter, or possibly life changing things. The images had flashed before her eyes in almost an instant. She saw Andy and her brother kissing and being close, so intimately close to each other wrapped together like lovers on the floor. She then saw the image of a dark haired boy with eyeliner leaving the ballroom and then an image of the monochrome girl laughing with such a sinister grin, it made her sick with fear. She then saw two girls, a girl with black hair and one with purple hair held close together, doing things she didn't understand. All of these things flashed before her eyes so quickly and as soon as they had come, they were gone and she knew she was back at the ballroom, being held by Edmund, as she had the sudden urge to sit down.

Sumi did her best not to gag at Rasiel's hint that she had been hitting on Deskri before turning to Deskri again and grinning.

"Go ahead and look for her. I'll wait right here under the watchful eyes of the people here in the ballroom to prove I didn't vanish to go and hide her away..." That grin of her's returned before she chuckled softly.

"May I just make the suggestion that you don't go to her dorm though? I don't think your fragile heart can stand it..."

Edmund held Mira briefly while she leaned on him. For lack of knowing what else to do he gave her a reassuring pat. "Ok, I'm glad you're alright..." he said softly, the relief as clear in his voice as the worry had been. When Mira took his hand he didn't resist and gave her another smile still slightly tinged with worry. "Yeah I'll go with you." He walked hand in hand with her to the refreshments table. Walking hand in hand with Mira was different then when he walked holding either of his brother's hands and the pleasant nervous feeling grew slightly. He surveyed the refreshment table seeing some punch as well as some sodas. "What do you want to drink?" he asked, ready to pour something into a cup for her.

Mira walked over to the table with Edmund, holding hands. As he asked her what she wanted to drink and she thought for a moment. "Juice sounds good!" she replied with a smile. She waited for him to pour it for her as it seemed he had wanted to. Mira took a sip and it tasted good as she licked her lips and hummed happily. She took another sip, and pulled the cup down slowly as she paused, her eyes catching sight of the monochrome girl walking toward the table that they were at. Mira stared at her with wide eyes, taking a step back from her. The vision she had seen earlier had stricken quite a bit of fear into her as she was filled with a terrible fright, freezing up as though she had seen a ghost. Mira could feel her intent, it wasn't of anything good, she was evil and she knew it.

Rasiel watched her change half her face to look like Sonnet and he began to fill with an uncontrollable rage. He had this whole time assumed that this girl he saw was someone who kept changing her image to look like Sonnet, but that she really wasn't Sonnet. Rasiel followed quickly behind her to the table. As she had reached the table, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her in a way to turn her around to look at him. "So it really was you that played that sick joke! I don't think you should be impersonating Sonnet anymore! What you did was wrong, and you shouldn't do it again!!" he yelled, as he stared her straight in the face with eyes full of rage. "Here me right now, whoever the hell you are. You leave Deskri alone!" he commanded, his anger beginning to get the better of him.

That very last comment had struck a sudden cord with Rasiel as the look of rage faded from his eyes and a look of deep thought replaced it. He shifted his eyes, beginning to assess the whole thing in his mind. If something had really happened to Sonnet, and Deskri saw that.. The thoughts raced through his mind, he knew that he would feel so terrible to see his own best friend to be hurt that he may be driven to hurt himself or even kill himself. The same could probably be said for Deskri. Rasiel then returned a stern gaze to Sumi, trying to cover up his worry and panic. "If I find you had something to do with this, you better pray I don't find you again.." he threaten in a low tone, shoving her only slightly as he let go of her shoulder and then ran across the ballroom to leave as he darted around the corner after passing the doors. He just hoped he got there quick enough to make sure that Deskri didn't do anything harmful to himself.

Edmund had been in the process of pouring himself a drink after handing Mira's hers when that strange monochrome girl headed towards the table. He spotted Mira's face at her approach and saw that she was scared. Edmund didn't like this strange girl, no not at all. First she had been saying something to Deskri and made him all upset and now she was scaring Mira. He set his cup down and started to move between her and Mira. Edmund didn't know what he'd do if she scared Mira more but boy was he starting to feel the rage bubbling up. He knew that was bad, and he knew he shouldn't lose control here at the ball but he was having trouble pushing it down.

He listened to her taunting a boy who looked about Deskri's age but was taller and to his threat back to her. He then watched that same boy go the way Deskri had gone. He wasn't aware of it but his normally gentle brown eyes had formed into a glare at this girl and the rage deep down was reflected.

[ASU IS A FAILURE. YES INDEED.]

"It's fine, really..." He shook his head a little, face steadily turning red as he realized what had just happened. Did that really count as a kiss? it was just a trip... "Oh, Andy you're bleeding!" He moved closer, looking her over, but stopped as he saw Mira dive under the table. "Mira?" He looked from the table back to Andy. Edmund was with Mira, she'd be okay... Andy was bleeding, that was more important.
