Welcome to Gaia! ::

● Celestia ● Lancaster ●

Celestia stopped in front of Natsu, slightly out of breath. At his comment about missing him she opened her mouth to respond, but stopped when he lifted his hand to silence her.

She crossed her arms about herself as she waited for Natsu to continue his story. When he finished, she brought her hand up to her mouth, a gesture she did when she was thinking.

True that it was unusual for Benri to freak out. The woman was always so smug to the point of driving Celestia crazy, which was hard to do. Sighing, Celestia dropped her hands to her side and looked back at Natsu.

"I'm sure if it was something extremely urgent Tamamo Sensei would alert all of the teachers." she smiled and put a hand on Natsu's shoulder and patted it gently. "Maybe you're just overreacting a little bit?" she asked and realized what she was doing and, coming to her senses, she removed her hand and placed it by her side once again.

● Raijin ● Denkou ●

He pulled out his pda and a stylus and began to tap it in a series of rapid strokes. "Unfortunately, due to my arrival being slightly delayed the only security I've been able to install are some cameras." he said with a sigh and a shrug. "Any idea which area these intruders came in by? I have hidden cameras set up to get a complete view of the campus with no blindspots...except for the teacher's offices." He looked at her waiting for an answer.

"If I know the area I can narrow down my search and get the information sooner." He decided to keep looking through the cameras whilst he waited for his answer. "The security will be improved shortly with motion detectors, thermal sensors, sound sensors etc."

● Raijin ● Denkou ●

He nodded as she vanished. He'd just finished checking the cameras. It didn't take him long. As soon as she left he face-palmed himself. How could he have not set perimeter security cameras. They must of only breached it and not got through which is why they didn't show up. He thought about this and cycled through the camera footage of that area. He zoomed in on an area, but all he could see were shadows. It did look like two figures, but he couldn't be certain. He slid the pda and stylus into their pouch.

"Gotta get the perimeter camera's up lickity split and then get some sensors put in. Everything should be a-ok for a bit then." he said to himself. However, as he had a few minutes he headed out via the back entrance and over to where he felt he had seen the figures. Fortunately, he was permitted by the magical security to go through the barrier. He shifted into his full fox form and sniffed about. Definitely someone had been there recently. He couldn't tell if it was the intruders though or a lost student. He shifted back to human form and put a hand in his pocket. When it came out he placed a finger against the tree, on its root, and in several other places around the area. He nodded and headed off to the auditorium whilst pulling out the pda and stylus.

Once there he sat down and waited whilst typing in commands on the pda linking the near-invisible, near indestructable, tiny cameras he had just placed to his pda and central system.

"Ain't perfect, Not like home, but it'll do." he said to himself. The only way anyone got into his place without knowing was by magic.

Natsu Akumu
Health teacher -- School doctor

Natsu listened to Celestia talk, and began to feel silly. Maybe he was over reacting, after all he had never remembered there being any real trouble the entire time he had been at that school, which was around 9 years including his time as a student and teacher. When Celestia put her hand on his shoulder, he could not help but grin to himself, but was surprised when she quickly pulled it back.

"Tia Channn, I'm not contagious you know." He sighed, feigning his feelings being hurt, "You won't catch being a 'pervert'." He paused a moment before adding, "Or catch being such a terribly good looking man." He laughed to himself, when a light out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned and saw two light orbs floating towards them. He had been here long enough to know who these belonged to, and that it's self was no comfort. When he heard the message the orb gave before it floated away, Natsu turned solemnly back to Celestia.

"Well it seems this is going to be a very interesting year to say the least." He said, trying to lighten the mood, "Care to accompany me to the auditorium, Mademoiselle?"

Yukiko Fuyukaze
19 -- Yuki Onna

Yukiko continued on her way to the girl's dorms, when she saw many glowing balls floating through the sky. She stopped a moment to watch them, curious as to what they were. Spirits of the dead. . .? she thought to herself, as they soon floated out of view. No, that makes no sense, why would dead spirits be inside the school? After a moment she decided she just didn't care, and hurried the rest of the way to the dorms.

When Yukiko reached the dorms, she quickly entered the building, hoping to avoid any more meetings for the time being. She had not realized that a new year would be so much trouble, a whole new group of students who had not yet learned to just avoid her. When she got to her room, she let out a sigh of relief, and flopped onto her bed. Her room was like a sanctuary, kept much colder then any other building on campus. She laid there a bit longer, thinking over her eventful morning, still feeling the anger from before.

Yukiko suddenly sat up, and looked around the room. Standing up, she locked her door, then hurried to the window to close the curtains. Sure that she was now safe from prying eyes, she went about opening the bottom drawer of her dresser, and tossing out everything inside. Finally she found what she had been looking for, a tiny tattered doll with white hair much like her own. Feeling satisfied, she crawled back into bed with the doll. No matter what happened in her life, her tiny doll always cheered her up and could even keep her from feeling lonely. She smiled to herself, as she clutched the little thing close to her chest.

● Alucio ● Verdax ●

"It is quite amazing isn't it?" said a voice behind Luma. The figure walked around in front of her and smiled. "Quite beautiful despite its lack of expense." Or at least that was Alucio's opinion. As quite a wealthy man due to his gambling he was used to incredibly expensive hotels and the like. However, he did like the university. "It has style though and that is what counts." He bowed to the girl.

"My name is Alucio Verdax and who may I ask do I have the honor of addressing?" he said politely and smoothly. He had spoken to the girl with the ice cream because she had knowledge of the school he did not have. He wished he could of found out more, but it would do for now. The okami seemed stupid and was incredibly unstylish and he doubted they would be friends. However, this girl intrigued him for no other reason then she had an open mind. She would be a good practise partner for his powers. However, she seemed to understand the beauty of the buildings if not their style, which was interesting. Very few were interested in aesthetics.

● Alucio ● Verdax ●

"Luma...Luma...Luma" he repeated seeming to taste the world. After a few more repetitions he nodded. "A simple name, but beautiful in that simplicity. Truly stylish." He smiled at her. "Would you like a brief tour of the campus?" He offered her his arm in a polite, gentleman like fashion. In truth he didn't know a lot of the campus himself, but he knew where some of the rooms were so he could show her them and pretend to know what he was on about for other areas. He was a skilled liar. However, for once he didn't feel like lying. He decided to tell her the truth to gain her trust.

"Truthfully, I do not know a lot of the campus myself. However, I know the location of some key structures so perhaps we can find out the rest together" he admitted frowning slightly, but his smile returned almost immediately.

Ella's eyes shot open when she suddenly realize that her powers were released. The flower buds dispersed at the sudden change in her mood. Whitish-pink petals took to the air and then slowly glided back down to the grass below. The flower that had bloomed in her hair did the same as well. Still laying in her place, Ella spotted glowing sphere-like objects in the sky. "Shooting-stars at this time?" She sat up finally, and then looked around her area to see the scattered petals. Ella quickly stood up and walked back towards the dorms.

● Alucio ● Verdax ●

He thought about this for a moment then nodded to himself. "I suppose I should show you to the more important places first." he said with a smile. He was glad she had accepted his arm, it somehow felt right. "The nearest of which is the cafeteria." he added and began to slowly walk in the direction of the cafeteria with her on his arm. He walked slowly because rushing about was unstylish, but also because there was no need to rush. He had a desire to know more about Luma.

"So Luma...what classes are you taking whilst you are here?" he asked politely with a slight note of inquisitiveness about his voice
