Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's nice to meet you, Lilka." Livvy said to the girl. She looked back at the wrecked water fountain. "Even though blowing up a fountain was pretty stupid, I still wish I could do something like that. I mean at least you purposely did it. Usually when something blows up in my face it's because I screwed up a spell or something and it's really not pretty."

Rhianwyn looked up at the gates unflinchingly. This must be her new school, where she would be staying from now until she graduated and decided to get a job of her own. She set her jaw firmer as she felt tears sting her eyes. With a toss of her head, she walked closer to the gates.
Rhia spied an android and went up to it.
"Welcome to Ria High School; please show me your acceptance letter so I may present you with your student ID," it said to her.
Rhia handed it the papers she held in her hands, which it accepted with its electronic arm. It seemed to read it and decided with what appeared to be a nod.
"Welcome to Ria High School, Miss Rhianwyn. Here is your I.D." And after handing Rhia an I.D. card, which she pocketed, it replied, "And here is a map of the campus. Please enjoy your time here."
Rhia nodded her thanks and stepped through the gates into Ria High School.

A girl in her early teens approached the gates, her white dress swishing about her ankles. Her long blue hair lay over her left shoulder in a single plait, and a thin chain hung about her thin throat, bearing a small blue stone. On her back was stapped a silver, cobalt, and ivory harp, and draped over her head was a thin veil that fluttered in the slight breeze. As she neared the gate, she reached up and lowered the veil, draping it about her bare shoulders.
"Welcome to Ria High School; please show me your acceptance letter so I may present you with your student ID,"
She spun around, supprised. She blinked in supprise at the android, and slowly reached for a rolled up piece of paper she had stuck in the sash of her dress. She handed it to the android, and gazed at it with wonder. She had never seen such a machine in her life? Her only memories were of the old couple from the country who had housed her since the day villagers had found her wandering in the woods.
"Welcome to Ria, Txaik. Here is your ID, as well as a map of the school."
She accepted the map and ID, tucking them both safely into her sash. She then slowly made her way through the gates, and to her new life at Ria High School.

Suddenly bewildered, Txaik looked back and forth, taking in the scene before her. She slowly opened the map, and studied it for a moment before rolling it up again and carefuly securing it in her sash. She walked slowly to a tree and sat under it, holding her head in her hand. "What have I gotten myself into?" she muttered. Rising to her feet, she made her way further into the school grounds, finding herself in the courtyard.

Olivia nodded in understanding. Though she had never taken a science class like that before, it sounded similar to a time when she tried to make a potion with her mother. It had gone horribly wrong because she added too much of a certain ingredient.

"I know what you mean, though I've never done a science experiment before," Livvy explained to Lilli. "You see, I stopped going to school when I was ten. My mother thought it would be best if we isolated ourselves from people."

Olivia watched as Lilka went over to a new girl coming in and introduced herself. She smiled. It was good to know everybody here was so welcoming.

She turned her attention back to the map she was holding. "Okay so if I'm here then," She looked in front of her at a long building, "That's the building where classes are held!" Livvy was proud of herself for having figured out the map. "That means the courtyard is behind there, and the library behind that!"

Olivia was startled again by Taruko, but this time by his sudden outburst. "You're really loud, you know that?" But she just smiled and shook her head. "Kinda strange too, but I guess I don't mind. It's a good quality to have even though most people might not think so."

Livvy felt sorry for Taruko. She knew what he was going through. They were all nervous about going to this new school. "Try not to worry so much about it," she said, trying to be comforting, "We're all in the same boat as you remember. I'm sure we'll get used to this place in no time." Livvy smiled happily, hoping it would make Taru feel better. "In the meantime, we should probably stick together and find a way through all this. Now, it would probably be a good idea to get a dorm here first. That way at least we'll have a place to sleep and put our stuff. Then we can worry about classes." Olivia felt wierd, acting all mature like this. But considering the circumstances, she felt she was probably better off this way.

Olivia tried to explain, but found herself being dragged off to the registration building. When they had finally reached the secretary's desk to find she wasn't there Livvy found a chance to speak. "Will you calm down for two minutes! Listen, we all get dorms! You don't need a star!" ((we just don't get our own thread for a dorm, we have to post in the main thread))
