Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gaius had been hanging towards the back of the group, letting the others grace the stage with their voices. Gallen earned a hearty applause, Gaius, like Sophie, had underestimated his voice. And when Sophie sang, he listened raptly, closing his eyes as he let her lovely voice weave through his mind. True, it wasn't a professional singer's voice, but it was beautiful in its own way, and the song she chose was so touching... Clapping loudly as she finished, he beamed at her. "You'd be wonderful in a musical! You should sing for us some more!"

However, when the guys turned their attention to him and Marshall, Gaius's broad grin faultered, taking on a nervous quirk. He held up his hands defensively, waving them away. "Er, that's okay... I'm perfectly fine just listening! Really! I-I don't need to sing! Uh... Mitchell! Mitchell still needs a turn, right?"

"N-no, that's really okay!" He backed up another step. If they wanted him up there, they'd have to push him, no way was he going willingly! "I-I really shouldn't sing... I have a, uh, medical condition? Allergies? Terrible air-born throat cancer?" He winced, raking his brain for a good excuse besides being way too shy for his own good.

((well, I said i'd join blaugh ))

The door cracked open and in slipped the timid Jessica. Oh, how she hated theses stupid daces! She always felt so claustrophobic. But the voices had somehow managed to convince her to go, telling her that she needed to at least meet people on the island. It was, after all, only the first week into her stay and she knew a grand total of... nobody.

She wasn't surprised to find a mix of already changed people and the unchanged. She had already come to terms with what was going to happen to her, and she was perfectly fine with it. The pain throughout the transformation, well, she wasn't looking forward to that.

She slipped to stand against the wall, he customary 'wall flower' position. She would most likely only dance if someone decided to literally drag her onto the dance floor, and then only a little before finding some excuse to go back to her corner. She loved, however, watching the people interact with each other.

Jessica looked up to the stage, eyes immediately lighting up. But they dulled quickly into a sad depression. So, the Irish man so intent on bashing Feral Labs got to be one of their prized experiments. She felt guilty that she was so happy to see him. But now was obviously not the time to mourn over the man's loss, if he counted it as one. Personally, Jessica loved the island... not so much the staff, though.

Her expression light up once more, not wanting to seem sad. After all, she just found out that she wasn't entirely void of friends on the island. She quickly made her way over to the stage, smiling happily.
"Gallen!" she exclaimed once she was within hearing distance (the music was loud to say the least).

She chuckled at the scene before here eyes. It was most certainly a comic situation between the people on the stage. And the dude, obviously named Gaius, definitely made her happier about coming over there. She had to admit to herself, that guy was hot.

Jessica just laughed. The party did rather remind her of crazed animals in the jungle... or something to that effect. She seated herself quietly on the stage, waiting for who ever Gallen was waiting for. This 'Marshall' person.. who ever he was, she didn't know.

She took this time to study the others further, but it was all blurry in the poorly lit area. All she could see was indistinct shadows and sense quick blurs of colors and sparks of energy. People were definitely excited.
