Welcome to Gaia! ::

Valrie looked up at Lin as she stopped walking. "Yes, I am." She said shyly. "I can't find the lunch room." She looked around and sighed. She put her head down. In her mind she was trying to cheer herself, but not doing quite a good job at it.

Lin put her arm around the little girl comfortingly and started leading her in the direction of the cafeteria. She would have to go to class the way she was, but that was alright. She probably still looked presentable, and this child needed help.

"I understand what you mean. This is a large place and can take some time getting used to. I will show you where it is."

As she was taking the little girl to the cafeteria, she showed her big statues and paintings that would help her remember the path to get to it. Once there, she knelt down so that she was eye-level with the child and smiled gently at her.

"Here you are! All safe and sound. I ate breakfast here earlier and the food is scrumptious! You will like it. And if you need any help finding your way again, then you just call on me."

She whistled softly and a few moments later, a very tiny white bird with long legs came zipping through the cafeteria window and landed on Lin's shoulder. Lin telepathically communicated with the little bird for a few moments, and then it jumped onto the child's shoulder and chirped happily.

Lin spoke happily to the girl, "If you need me at any time, you just say so to this little bird, and she'll come and get me. I'll come right away to help you. I have to go to class now. Have a good breakfast."

She smiled once more at the child and then stood up and walked back toward the stairs to her classroom.

At that moment, Ophiuchus suddenly appeared, interrupting Shintero and Kindra. "Hey," he hastily greeted them. He glanced at Kindra's cup, checking to see how much she had drank. "Anyways miss, you should be feeling better soon. If you'd like, you can walk around a bit, but you might still feel a bit weak." He spoke casually, though he was in a rush. "Shintero, I have to cover for a class, if you're not busy, you can be in charge of the clinic for now."

A few minutes later, there was a loud bang and clouds of black smoke in a classroom upstairs.

"Sit. Down." Ophi commanded, his voice loud, deep, and menacing. He appeared, sitting on the desk, his legs crossed, his arms crossed, his long white hair in a high ponytail, and raised an eyebrow at the class. His ears were slightly pointed, and his hands were clawed. When he spoke, his fangs were visible. "The next person to stand up without my permission gets smited." He was joking of course, just testing the waters.

Ophiuchus smiled in satisfaction as students trembled in fear and ran back to their seats. He laughed evilly, further reinforcing his fearsome image. Except, one elf girl who was nearly falling out of her seat with excitement. He rolled his eyes.

"All right. I don't think I'm your regular teacher, but all the same, you will confer unto me utmost respect. I am...." Ophiuchus paused dramatically, then jumped up, standing on the desk, arms out stretched. "Mr. Akakios!"

Danni turned to look at Night, who'd blended with her shadow, and raised a brow. "Yeah, you're rambling...but don't stop. It's better than all this quiet." She said, and her stomach rumbled then, and without thinking she turned on her heel and started for the cafeteria. She went straight back to the door to the kitchen, as she did everyday. But this time, the doorknob didn't turn, but appeared to be locked. That's when she spotted the small Post-It on the door. She read it quickly, and her expression visibly fell.

'Sorry little one,' It read, clearly in Cook's handwriting, 'Your pa said this place is off limits to you.' Danni braced her hand against the door for a second, biting her lip, before deciding she wasn't hungry after all. So instead she pulled out her schedule, and saw that if she hurried she'd only be a little late for her next class.

She looked down at herself, and thought she'd drop dead before wearing these clothes any longer. She waved her hand down her body, and immediately she once again had her blue hair, her torn jeans and tee shirt. Unexpectedly, the change gave her no joy as if usually did. She just felt...empty...

She made her way to the correct room, and got there just in time to hear Ophiuchus introduce himself while standing on the desk. Slipping quietly inside, she made her way to a desk at the very back, sitting with her hands on top of her desk and her eyes averted from anyone else's.

He smirked. "You're such a bad girl," he said, lowering his head to nuzzle her neck. Her hands felt relaxing, and her body was perfectly in tune with his. Whenever he leaned a certain area, she'd lean the opposite way to keep from falling. So in sync.
"Hm, you need to feed, little one." he said under his breath, softly licking her skin. "Totentanz?"

Valrie smiled lightly. "Thank you very much." She said before the girl disappeared down the hallway. She walked right up to were the line was and began to jump trying to see what food was left over. "Excuse me?" She said after she stopped jumping.

Ella got up and placed the baby boy in a plce he could sleep. She carefully sen back over to the bed she once was laying in. She pulled herself back on to it and went to sleep easily.

Jewet mind reaslized she need to get to her classes. 'It will be on your door shortly.' She remembered the teacher telling her that. Quietly she got up and headed for the dorms. Just like the teacher said, her class list would be on her door. She grabbed it and took off heading for her first class. She entered the classroom. Healing and Herbs, but she was more intrested in the herbs then anything else. 'Just so I can take care of family without having to go to a doctor.' She had said to teachers, her mother, and anyone else that had asked her about it.

((Crap...what is this class that I just had her walk into??))

Danni looked at Night, shrugging her shoulders. "I forgot what the class is, but it shouldn't be holy magic...unless I was feeling suicidal of course..." She said, thinking of the effects holy magic would have on her in the long run. Not good ones, that was for sure.
