Welcome to Gaia! ::

The music slammed her ears as the dragon wandered around the Outdoor Arena. Not in... an unpleasant way, no. She lingered by the food however. Not out of hunger, but more... just liking something solid to stand by and watch the going ons. It'd been tempting to hang out in the gym, enjoying the "beach." The fact the pool was open though had unnerved her, and the sensation hadn't let go until she'd found herself surrounded by music and... something sturdy she could support herself with for a moment. The lights were a good distraction, and the boils on the stage...

She could appreciate the lyrics for some of the songs. She might have even been softly singing along to them now and then. But that stopped pretty quickly when she spotted a familiar boil near her. By the food. She lifted a brow, her tail flicked, and finally she snorted and approached. "Look for the food and find you? Is that all someone would need to know?" Her voice was light--well, cheery, trying to make sure Zaire could hear her over the music--as she approached. "I'm noticing a pattern. Though I figured you'd be enjoying the water."


----------------------------------


Neithan really had no idea what to think of all the pink and red and... hearts? Those weren't hearts. Hearts looked nothing like that. What was the point of all this? The Student Council had put a lot of work into celebrating... something. Scarentine's? A frown permanently marked his features as he took in the decorations, the blasting music outside, and... just... did not get it. Closing his eyes briefly, trying to contain the growing frustration around his confusion--though the fireball between his horns sparked and sputtered more than enough--he looked back to his phone.

And glanced around himself a few times. He was at... uh. The pool? Half-open. He wasn't sure the point of it--so what was new?--but the water made him more than a little uneasy. It was an easy location to give someone. A particular someone whom he brought up on his phone, sliding somewhat easily through the various touch screen menus. Typing out a text was a whole other ordeal...

If you were still intending to come, I am in the gym by the pool.
Should not be too easy to miss.
Look for the fire demon trying to not get splashed.

Not that he was close enough to really risk it--he hoped--but he was trying his hand at humor. It was... easier over text, he was noticing. Of course, if Lute would read it that way, he wasn't sure.

AJ remembered last Scarentines 's speed dating brought him a precious friend, so when it was about the time. He dressed formally and arrived at the Gym. The strong music made him wanna move his body with it, the theme this time - Love. Is. A. Battlefield.....Well, whatever related to fighting would rise the boil's interest. Walking into the gym, AJ dropped off Trouble without realizing what disaster the little thing may cause, as dense as always. Trouble, on the other hand, was not very satisfactory with this arrangement. However, it was still much better than the awfully loud noises those stupid creeple were making. It didn't understand any why they were cheering for such a bad choice of music, never mind, it found itself a cozy spot and started its regal nap time. The boil then casually walked out the door when Head yelled "AJ! I smell FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!". He smiled and asked "Oh we just ate something a while ago, and you are getting hungry now?" The two therefore moved toward the food tables which Head began to sweep across, munching its booty happily. The Greedy face didn't gratify after the guests dropped their jaws at them. It looked around and spotted the picnic baskets. "Um~ Sounds fun." After the explanation, AJ decided to have a try. Head couldn't wait but swallowed a basket near it, and then made a disgusted expression.

"Not good." It shook its head like a professional food critic.



Dropping off a minipet!
Pet Name: Trouble
Pet specie: Pygmy Wish - Firestarter (SE)
Pet Personality: Gender unknown, Trouble is your average princess/ prince. It gets the ultimate say. it commands AJ to bring him the freshest warm breakfast, there is a little corner in AJ's room just for it and it even nearly burn down Andrew's room once until it got bored. Also, Head wasn't brave enough to touch Trouble's food. Approach as your own risk. In short, it's bossy, princess/prince-like and emulous fire critter. When angry, the stars begin to ignite and glow.

Owner: AJ

MAYAA LOVED THEM ALL.
She reached out to pet and cuddle it, and risked burning off her skirt as it sneezed, but it was worth it.
"Maybe creeple are still bringing them in?"
Well, there were a pair of foxfires and they were ADORABLE but they seemed to be occupied by another boil and she didn't want to ruin the touching bond.

"Oh... we could bring our OWN minipets!"
And then she began to wonder if bringing all her phoenix hatchlings and wonder phoenixes would be a good thing.
... she thought really hard.

"But you did forget that I said I didn't want you to!" Amrita shot right back, trying as hard as she could to not let the Reaper guilt trip her. "I distinctly remember refusing you!" A panicked, cloudy grey eye slid down to the scar as it was oh-so-subtly pointed out to her, a sight that may as well have shot right through her heart.

"I-I...!" Amrita stammered, at a loss for words. Thankfully someone chose to loom behind her right at that moment, and the barefoot patchwork wheeled quickly, putting her back to her bane of the party to see who her saviour was. She had only been happier to see Christof only once in her entire life.

"Christof!" She cried out with joy and relief, thanking her lucky stars. "Hello, welcome! W-wow, lookit you all dressed up handsome~" She prattled off, forcing her niceities a little loudly. "How're you? You remember Hel, right?" It was her own subtle attempt at screaming for help: anyone who knew Hel, knew Hel.

"I, um," said Xavier, shifting slightly so that he was away from the wall since common sense said she couldn't help put his feathers back in his hair if she couldn't actually get to his hair - something he probably should have considered more, Xavier flushing with embarrassment.

"Well, I'm always stressed, I mean, I don't know how to do anything, I am a terrible student, I mean, um, I just, erm, I am not very good at, erm, anything..." Xavier prattled on nervously, wringing his hands and shrinking further into himself.

As much attention as he really wasn't paying to the room around him, it was impossible to ignore somebody bumping into him, and his teeth clenched in irritation as he automatically thought that somebody had somehow run into him despite this being one of the less crowded area's. He took in a deep breath, preparing to launch himself into a full verbal assault, when instead he found a familiar scent standing right next to him. It smelled like...well, it smelled like Mathias's room, however faint and faded the scent was, and there was only one boil who had spent enough time in the wolpertinger's room to pick up that smell.

"Jove!" His irritation melted away instantly as he raised eyes to the ghost boil, bumping him back cheerfully before frowning. "Ach, nein! Should not touch it." He reached out, intent to wrap clawed fingers around Jove's wrist to pull him back.

"Is most horrible thing. Your brother is making me be vatching it for time. He vas saying that---" Mathias cut off here abruptly, pulling his hand away, suddenly very aware of just how close Jove was standing to him. Taking a small, shuffling step to the side to add some distance, he continued, hissing out much more quietly and in much more whispered tones.

"Could not be vith you if not vatching pet first. Vas most strange but vas thinking about it more and...and..." He stopped again, reaching up to rub at his forehead, his eyes scrunching shut. It made no sense, really, to feel so nervous about saying such a silly thing out loud. But it was the only thing Mathias's not so clever brain could come up with, the only reason for Ren to have acted so strangely. Mathias must have done something, maybe inadvertently begun some kind of courting ritual, despite not feeling ready for such a thing at all. He was still so young, after all! But then there were all of these strange feelings that he never used to get.....

Letting his hand drop, he opened his eyes again, face screwing up as he chewed on his bottom lip from between his fangs while debating the situation in his head, and then finally blurting out.

"Are you my boilfriend?"
