Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ian also walks over to Michelle, and smiles kindly.
"Hey, are you new here? I'm Ian," She says.
Thinking about the fact that this new girl was a sax player, she couldn't help but smile to herself.
A midvoice, like me... She thinks, and sighs. This year, so far she looked to be the only mellophone player. It'd help just enough to have another person in her section...

Ian smiles even wider, though in a good way.
"If you need help, you can ask me. If it'll make you feel better, there's a new band director, and pretty much everything about this band's going to be new to all of us, even those of us who have been with the band," She replies, and suddenly she feels her cell phone buzz in her back pocket.
"Hold on, I'll be back in a moment," She says, and turns her back, checking her text messages. She had recieved only one, from her aunt: "ARE YOU WITH THAT STUPID BAND?!"
She shakes her head, sighing. She had to walk to band because her aunt was highly against her being in it. She texted back one word, one that translated to her being at her friend's place. Thank god for some of her friends being out of school and having their own places.
She turns back to face Michelle, smiling.
"I hate it when my friends send me random texts," She says, almost laughing.

I hate lying like that, but I want to stay in a place that I belong. If that means I have to withstand abuse, then so be it, She thinks sadly.

[[I'll be starting the actual first day of band camp soon, I just want a few more people to join. It's really awkward to start without a lot of section leaders...
And if anybody wants to get either of my other two characters to do something, just have your own character talk to them. I'm pretty sure Sierra's in her office and G's somewhere in the band room. You make up where he is XD]]

"Guess I wasn't so late after all," Marie shrugged. She wondered if the new band director would be mad at people coming in late. The girl figured, at least, that she should introduce herself.

"Duuuuude! Jaedeeeeeen! You're really loooouuuud!" Marie yelled, going to the drummers. Guess I'll introduce myself later, she thought. "Can I learn it too? I wanna drum this year!"

"Well at least I can hear me." Kale said with a sort of discouraged look on his face as he slunk off back to the marimba to wheel it out to the warm-up area.

Kale heard her and then felt his face turn red with embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm just sort of weird about these things manly case of my low self-esteem. Sorry if I seemed rude or anything I do my best not to be." (It's the first day of band camp and I already make myself seem like a dork what else are you gonna do Kale?) He thought while beating himself mentally. "So where did you move from?"

"I play mellophone," Ian says, and mentally, she sighed. Everyone, when first meeting her, felt it wrong for her to go by a guy's name.
