Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takashi was ready to go. He nodded to his butler. His butler would know what he needed done while he was gone. He took Kimmy's arm in his and headed down the hall way. "This will be so much fun. And to think, i missed homecoming dances because of my parents. They took so much fun away, but i still have a chance yet to have some!" He thought as he walked kimmy down the hall. He felt almost like he was getting married, which made him chuckle a bit. He looked at kimmy taking in the cuteness of her outfit. When she looked at him concerned she had something on her, Takashi quickly snapped nervously, "No, No, everything's fine!"

They had finally made it to the cafeteria and there was a line. Takashi sighed as they stood and waited for the roses to be handed out.

Aurelia slipped on a pair of white heels, ready to head down to the cafeteria. Looking at her phone she found nothing and a small frown came on her face. Still, she had a job to do tonight. Putting the small device in a white clutch purse she exited her dorm and walked to the dance.

Arriving at the cafeteria she smiled, finding everything in place. She dropped of the clutch at the coat check, intructing the students running it to notify her if her cell phone went off. Even in white she was able to blend in with the crowd, her mask disguising her face and her usually straight hair now in curls. She began to walk around, pretending to be on her way to another location when she was really patrolling and making sure nothing troublesome happened.

While dancing with Takashi, Kimmy felt a sudden sadness. She placed her hand to her head only to discover the Camellia had wilted, withered, and died. She was now waiting for the news as tears streamed her face. She continued on with what she needed to keep Takashi occupied and content, which to her seemed fairly easy enough. She didint know it was only easy for him when she was around. She danced again with Takashi, but with tears in her eyes. When asked what was wrong, she simply replied, "He's at peace now," as she gently pulled the flower from her head and placed it in the decorative christmas tree.

She continued to walk around, keeping an eye for anything suspicious, but stayed in the back of the cafeteria. After a while she got herself a drink and sat down at one of the tables, then got up and headed back to coat check. However, she returned to her seat after hearing that her phone had not rung once. Sighing she placed her chin in one hand and swirled her cup. "Merry Christmas..." She said to herself sarcastically. On that note she looked to the Christmas tree, hoping that the person who will receive her Secret Santa gift will love it. Then, she wondered what she will receive...and from whom it would be from.

Turning away from the tree Aurelia then thought about Jay. She had gone to the hospital, but she was told that visitors were not permitted to see him yet. The past week was busy for her because of helping set up for Winter Ball, and now she was here, alone and thinking of him. Shaking her head a little she sighed again. She had to tell him...that things were too complicated. That here she was, waiting for someone else at a dance he had asked to bring her to first. At that she felt a little guilty, the feeling spreading through her like a disease until she felt utterly depressed. Finishing her drink she told herself that she should cheer up a little more. Right now wasn't the time to be like this, and everyone else was having so much fun right now. Putting down her cup she watched as other students began to dance as more continued to pile in.

"Hm?" He turned around and looked at Mandy, placing a stupid grin on his face, despite the internal fear of previous encounters with her. "Ah, well, I did transfer, but with the help from a few people inside the school system, I was able to make one last appearance here." Riku scanned the room again, "And sure you can use the microphone, but, you're asking the wrong person. I'm just taking it over later on tonight for some well deserved 'not-so-formal' dance music. Now if you'll excuse me, I have plenty of people who probably want to see me one last time." He patted Mandy on the shoulder and walked about, mostly looking for Black Knight members, but mostly Aurelia. Wouldn't she be surprised he showed up.


Upon hearing Trey's remark on his attempt at dressing up, he buttoned his suit up one button in what was probably a futile attempt to look more formal. "This is why I don't dress up..." He muttered. At least he knew his pony tail was in proper place... took him forever on how to figure it out. "So, uh... what do we do now?" He did everything he could to avoid eye contact and sheer embarassment. He had no idea what he was suppossed to do now. He had only planned far enough ahead to actually get here.

With a sigh Mandy went to the stand and took the microphone. Slowly she closed her eyes and cleared her throat. “Everyone, may I have your attention please?” She sighed rather softly; however, due the microphone it was amplified. “As you all know my cousin Jay recently tried to kill himself twice on school grounds. Since then he has been in the hospital, the intensive care unit.” Lowering her head tears began to flow from her eyes, she had to be strong. They had a right to know what happened. “Today, I found out...” She bit her bottom lip hard tears freely flowing now. Maybe she shouldn’t do it; maybe she shouldn’t even have started. “Today... He... He passed away.” As the final word came from her mouth she burst into tears falling down to the ground on the DJ station. The microphone slamming into the ground as she kept crying, she couldn’t stop, after all she had just lost a family member.

((OOC: Just so everyone knows, Riku isn't supposed to be in control of the DJ stand... but new teachers don't know that >:3))


Riku was shocked to say the least, he didn't think Mandy had that kind of speech, he thought she was going to announce something less... devestating as a whole. However, when the teacher took over and told him to take control of the music, he was happy to oblidge. All the music at his disposal... plus his 'not so safe for school' tracks, too. Mostly techno tracks at his disposal for his personal amusement. Still, he didn't know what to do... so he simply took the mic, and spoke into it. "You heard the teacher... but, we'll put on a slow song for Jay. Least we can do, right? Grab someone and sway to the beat, or simply sit back and listen. Remember, I take requests." He put the mic back down and put on the first song that had a slow, slightly depressing beat to it.


Ken looked left and right at everyones somewhat down face, and looked over at Trey. Slightly understanding that she felt at fault for Jay's attempted, and now succeeded attempts at suicide. Simply putting a hand around her, he muttered, "We don't have to dance... if you no longer feel the heart to dance."
