Welcome to Gaia! ::

Graymalk quietly padded through the large iron gates of the campus. So, this was the place, was it? He'd checked the stars, read some entrails (a personal favorite, since he got a meal out of it), walked the dreamscape, and even tried pendulum divination (no mean trick for a cat), and everything seemed to suggest that an ideal familiar could be found somewhere in here.

Frankly, it didn't look too impressive.

Still, there were lots of humans walking around in the distance; surely at least one of them would have some sort of magical potential; all he'd have to do is figure out which one it was. There was no telling how Jill would react to his new partner, of course (assuming he could even find either of them, that is), but he wasn't much use to her without one.

Human magic users and their obsession with hands...

Anyway, Graymalk loved Jill, and he owed her this. He'd find a place to stay, he'd find himself a familiar, they'd locate and rescue Jill (wherever she'd been spirited to), and everything would be OK. He could do this; he just had to work at it.

For now, though, he'd look into getting some food; that squirrel had been a while ago.

Oh no... Aiko thought, feeling like she wanted to cry. Pulling her hand immediately out from the man's hand, she cocked her head to one side, blushing furiously from embarrassment. She didn't want Lucius to know about what she was, she didn't want anyone to know the truth about her.

"N-not exactly a d-demon..." Aiko stuttered, looking up to Lucius for a moment, then to her feet. Of course she was a shamed of what she was, though she didn't want to be. "I a..." She started once again. It was rather dumb to be getting upset about this, but just thinking about telling people reminded her of her relatives.

"A half-blood." She stated, keeping her eyes to her feet. Even if she didn't say she was half vampire, it was obvious, mainly because not many people see half bloods around. It was uncommon for humans and vampires to be with each other, so Aiko couldn't blame anyone for being surprised, or even scared of her.

Lucius smiled back serenly. His facial features were a bright sort of darkness that hid anything real, even his eyes. He could see fine but the mismatched pair were hidden from the dark being. "Yours seem to be much keener, you picked up on it faster after all."
Lucius' voice remained calm, unchallenged, and without emotion as he spoke to Lucius, but just as suddenly as he'd become like this he was more apssionate and with life. His eyes were revealed once more as he turned to speak to Aiko. "Ah, I knew there was a reason you stuck out moreso than the others around you. You are truelly a being of balance, a beautiful women indeed. Tis no wonder, then, that this-demon?- would become interested in you so quickly."
His hand lowered and gently touched her cheek, then slid down to her chin in order to slightly raise he head. His eyes caught hers to transfer his compassionate gaze along. "But why do you seem so ashamed of this?"

((I hope you don't mind replying. it just seems that your post was open ^_^))

"hmm?" Atanu turned around and looked behind her. No one. She looked down to the ground and saw a girl. She then realized that this girl bumped into her. eek

"Oh! I'm sorry if I was in your way!" She gives the girl a hand and dusts her off.

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking and remineicing. I must be such a dolt to stand in the path someone's walking in." She bowed politely, "You must be going to the- " She looked at her map, "Dorms. Sorry."

Atanu stopped talking and looked to the sky for a moment, an akward moment. "Uhhmmm-. Oh, I'm sorry! I thought you would've walked off thinking' what a strange person' by now. My name's Atanu, Atanu the Mutt. Nice to met you."

This was definitely something Aiko didn't expect, Lucius was still speaking to her, and without fear. Not only did he touch her face, but lifted her chin to cheer her mood. Blushing slightly, Aiko moved her eyes away from Lucius', this was something she had done out of habit.

She didn't want to say anything. Aiko didn't feel comfortable explaining why she hated being what she was in front of two men she hardly knew. The thought of her dark purple necklace, the one she always wore around her neck, rushed into her mind. She had received it from grandmother on her mother's side.

It resabled shame, guilt, any form o rejection that the vampires on that side could think of. No one wanted Aiko around, so she was never around. The thought of that pained her every time. She didn't want to bring up painful memories of her family, even if it was for Lucius.

"I'm Nariko, Nice to meet you Atanu." She bowed back to Atanu. "I really have to go the dorms because most of my stuff are coming in, Hope I can see you around, Bye!!" Nariko ran off to the dorms. When she arrived at the dorms, all of her stuff was already in. "I guess they beat me here" Nariko thought while sighing. "oh well I guess I'll go and explore the school" she said while leaving the dorms and head off in a random direction.

Rake watched the boy with the dull look on his face, just watching him made him feel bored himself. He pokes out his tongue in irritation and grabs his helmut from its resting spot on his bike and pluges it over his head.
A change of cloths was in order, and then a stroll around campus to find all of the buildings he'll be having class in...thats if he cared to attend them at least. He started his bike with a kick and rode off in the direction the map indicated was his dormatory.
