Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laughing at his joke she knew it should upset her that it was a friendship made in hell but it didn't. Even worse was though would he still want to talk to her if he found out what she was. Or worse what she had done, and she was only human. In the cafeteria she looked around thinking carefully before answering his question, she knew things, in fact she knew to much, about everything. She didn't call herself a mutant but she never felt human like she was called. Answering with care as if unsure about her own words, "Nothing extraordinary, I just know to much. Everything there is to be known. Including how I will die." Moon Child didn't mean to add that last part but she did. Knowledge just came to her but she was still just a human. "Chaos follows me in another form. Stalking those he has no business with." And that was true. From the death of her mother to the death of her adoptive family and those around her. Even comments she thought simple pushed people over the edge and into violence at times.


Rain just nodded letting Dusk bask in her small victory. Talking to Dani, "Then I apologize for Dusk she takes things to far at times." There was slight sadness in her voice well hidden from the world including Dusk. What did you do when you watched someone you had always known loose their soul? "It is probably unnecessary for just teaching but I would prefer if you wore the protective gear. These stick can leave a decent bruise without it."

Rain watched Dusk for a moment, "She didn't used to be. She used to be nicer than me if you can believe that. A sucker for kids our house was popular at Halloween because she couldn't turn down any pirate, fairy, ghost or witch with less than half a bag of candy and even the corniest movie could make her sob for her favorite character. Then Phillipe died and everything changed. I know she doesn't need me anymore but she needs someone or she is going to be lost." Falling silent she ran a hand through her hair ending the subject, "Let's get started or we will never get anything done."

As Dani got into the gear, Rain took two fencing foils giving one to Dani before moving back a few paces. In the corner of her eye she saw Dusk standing upside down on the ceiling to watch Rain teacher. Rain took a deep breath before starting, "Ok we are going to go through form and some basics first. If I talk to fast or go to fast give me a yell. At the most basic level, fencing revolves around the opening and closing of various lines of attack and defense. In order for one fencer to hit, the other must make a mistake and leave an "opening." Fencing tactics rely on a mixture of "open-eyes" opportunism and deliberate "set-ups", where the opponent is systematically fed false information about one's own intentions. But before that is important let me show you proper technique." Going through the motions she hoped Dani got it.

((Don't worry about it. Unless someone does stuff like this can drag out painfully long XD ))

"Well," Jinx said with a crafty look in his eye, " not to make light of your situation, but if you truly do know everything, then I know who I'm sitting next to in classes." He chewed his food somberly for a moment, then looked back up at Moon Child, "And take it from me, Moon Child, Chaos has no business stalking any of us." He thought for a moment. She seems to be opening up to me, he thought. I should return the favor. "The Chaos that's been following me killed my parents, or more accurately" he paused for a moment, teetering on the edge of releasing what was his worst secret, "I did." After he said it, he stared off into space, waiting for her to get up and leave, his last chance at having a friend, much less a girlfriend. There was a blank look on his face, with a hint of sadness. I can't believe I actually told her, he thought, I guess that's just one more screw up for me.

"Actually yes. And, thanks for teaching me..." Dani smiled, the first time she did so fully in a while. She sat down on the empty couch, a bit more carefully.
