Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axel sniffed the air before tenshi could open the doors. Getting a feeling of where they were, it smelled good. Once the door was opened, smell were even stronger inside. 'Oh man, when was the last time i had food?' Axel asked himself mentally. At Tenshi's comment of 'cat' he flattened his ears. "Hey, don't make me hit you with this cane. I might not look strong, but I could cause you a nice bruise if nothing else. " Axel said to Tenshi angrily, but with a playfulness to his tone. As Mariya moved towards the door, Axel felt his case rattle. He was sure why it did that, but it wasn't a normal occurrence. The statue was known to move on it's own. He only knew this because when it first showed up, it was everywhere he went. Until he tripped over it, he gave up trying to avoid it and started to carry it around. 'what was that?' Axel thought before breaking away from the thought. He let Mariya first, manners and all, quickly followed behind her. As Axel entered he got an amazing whiff of the food. Although it all smelled amazing, Axel couldn't really see what it was. He walked up beside Tiamek and leaned over next to her. "Hey Tiamek, could you help me find some food. I can smell what it is, but i'm not sure what it really is." Axel said hoping that made sense. All of the smells around him, Axel had yet to notice the other cat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Graves laughed along with Tehuti. "I know all to well, Doesn't help when you spring out from the ground and scare everyone around you." Graves was happy to see Tehuti in a better mood than when he had been just before.

Graves watched as Tehuti talked with the kitchen workers. Mixed reactions, strange to be the one on the outside for once. He got lost for a second in a memory before being pulled from it. His hand had stopped writing, for the moment. Graves gave him funny face as he explained what came naturally to Tehuti. "Hmm....that does sound a lot like what a cat does..." Graves thought for a second about telling him about his other ability, but decided when the time was right he would. "Kind of, I can do some blood magics, but mostly it only works with magically inclined blood." Graves explained as he lifted his hand away from the blood as Tehuti wiped the table off.

Graves follow where Tehuti's gaze was and who he was waving at. There seemed to be a few new people who had came in. The fox ears alerted some part of graves and he looked at the person with ears. It was a female, he sighed. Graves thought it was Justin, but he was kind of disappointed at the same time. Of course then his eyes moved to the other cat and he started to look between Tehuti and the other cat. They looked alike. "Do you know him?"

He just laughed at the idea of rising from the grave, Tehuti could see Graves doing it like old '70s horror movies, thrusting his hand through the soil and groaning madly as he pulled himself out the ground. His laugh was quite loud, but being his size it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise.
"HAHA! I can see it clearly, let me guess, it went a little something like this. The hand bursting from the ground, the screams of the mourners around you as you rose from the ground smiling away and sparking off sarcastic and witty comments no? Hahaha!" Tehuti said jokingly as he stood up and re enacted some of the movements like pretending to climb out a grave. Things were looking good for today, he had got a filling breakfast, made a new acquaintance, ended up in a good mood, things could only get better yeah?

Tehuti sat back down chuckling to himself at his sudden outburst, he WAS happy though, joking was aloud every now and again, who wants to be serious all the time? He looked back over to the other cat, who looked at least a foot shorter than himself, when Graves inquired about him. The most Tehuti could think was... No... But something was lingering.
"You would think so, but no I have never met him actually. Though... there is something about him... Probably just he feline similarities actually." Tehuti said calmly as he watched the feline from a distance, trying to sniff him out between the odours of the food.


X{♪}The company of friends is always the best!

The woman behind the counter smiled and handed Mariya a stack of toast over the selections of food followed by a small pot of honey to spread on the slices.
"Ah yes honey is good. Thank you Miss~" She said in receipt of her meal with a smile. The other members of the group she arrived with were still busy choosing their food though, so it looked like it was up to her to grab a table!

Casually she wandered over to the tills and paid for her food which came to very little, in fact most of the price was for the honey! Finding a table wouldn't be much harder, Mariya already knew where she wanted to sit, and so with her choice in mind Mariya weaved past a few tables and loudly sat down, or rather fell into, a seat at a table right next to Graves and Tehuti.
"Kitty my friend! How has life been treating you? Good I hope." She laughed beaming a smile across at the big hairy lump she knew.

Tehuti waved back and if he could smile without it looking like he wanted to eat her, he would have...
"Ah Mariya how nice of you to join us! And yes I am getting by quite well, yourself? Also, please refrain from calling me 'kitty'... I may be a cat but I am MUCH more than your average house cat my dear." He responded in polite tones, they would have been polite anyway but next to Mariya's harsh accent and her unruly mannerisms, Tehuti seemed to speak so posh you'd expect him to bleed caviar!

Tenshi smiled satisfyingly to himself as he looked at the results of his little food spree, quite a filling meal for a samurai!
He glanced over to Tiamek and Axel, who were still in the midst of getting their food, it seemed.
Shrugging, he walked over towards the tills with his tray of food, placing it as the cashier rang it up to a rather modest amount of money, quite a good deal for a big meal!
The samurai grinned as he reached into his satchel, " Bollocks, now where'd I pu' dat damned thing?" he muttered, searching for his coin bag.
After a few minutes of fumbling about, he took out the small pouch and paid for his meal, picking up the tray and walking over, seeing that Mariya had already done the liberty of grabbing a table.
As he approached, he looked over as a big, furry cat-like monster guy stood up out of his chair, seeming to be acting out something in a rather joking manner, what looked to be climbing out of something and saying a few comments to the undead guy at the table with him, who burst out laughing
Tenshi smirked widely, hearing Mariya address the huge cat-monster guy as 'kitty,' the two seemed to know each other quite well from the looks of it.
" Hehe, well, ain' yous a big 'un, eh?" the samurai addressed the cat-monster guy, chuckling as he set his tray down and sat in a seat by Mariya, glancing over to the zombie-looking guy as well.
" Top o' da mornin' t' ya, mate!" he said, raising a hand to his forehead in a sort of salute, " Ain' it a bit too early fer yous to be up 'n outta da graveyard?"
Tiamek noted the way Axel's tail flicked about when Tenshi had said the comment about 'elopas,' really, sometimes he was sometimes irritating, but at least his sense of humor tended to give a bit of comic relief, even if it did get him punched in the face or a random object thrown at him.
Axel's ears laid flat a moment, seeming to have taken the other cat into account, but then he calmed down, his ears flicking back up, as he spoke to her, saying that anything with fish in it would be good, and that he wasn't too picky about anything else that was in it.
" Very well then~" she said, nodding and smiling to him, before she looked over the buffet, her tails twitching about as she eyed the various dishes set out before them.
There were quite a lot of fish dishes, mostly whole fish that was grilled or fried.
She momentarily eyed the 'tuna,' what looked to be a slurry of grey with lumps in it on a plate, and shook her head, the fish dish not looking too appealing to her.
Reaching over, she picked out a dish of fried trout, looking at it a moment, before placing it on Axel's tray, " I hope this will please you," she said rather modestly, knowing that he had said he wasn't too picky, and it WAS something with fish...
As for herself, she picked a plateful of sushi, served with chopsticks on the side, since she was still rather uncertain about the other items that were served.
For drinks, Tiamek picked out a glass of cold milk for Axel, and a mug of hot mint tea for herself, being rather big on tea, liquor, not so much.
As she brought Axel over to the tills to pay for their meals, she heard laughing coming over from the direction of the table with the monster-cat man and the undead man, and she looked over, smiling bemusedly as she witnessed the huge cat man seeming to be demonstrating something rather oddly funny, while the undead man, finding this comical, was nearly doubled over with laughter.
Quite a lot of interesting people she was meeting today, Axel the Bastet, Mariya with the blue hair, and this odd pair of cat man and zombie man, it certainly seemed that they were having a ball over there.
After paying for the meals, Tiamek lead Axel over, seeing Mariya and Tenshi already sitting at a table next to the cat monster man and undead man.
As she set the trays down carefully, pulling out a seat for Axel at the table, she looked up, hearing Tenshi talking to the cat monster man and the undead man, her ears flattening as he asked, in a joking tone of course, if it was a bit too early for the undead man to be away from the graveyard.
" Tenshi!" she scolded, shaking her head at him as she gave him a sort of glare, she knew he had a rather wayward sense of humor, but she didn't wish for him to offend anyone with his remarks, his humor had gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.

Axel smirked at Tiamek as they went over to get food. It was funny how he wanted only something with fish, but it was predictable. Her tail flicks catching his attention for a few seconds before Axel looked over towards Tenshi for a second hearing him curse? Axel didn't know much about English cuss word, but that kind of sounded like one. Axel turned his attention back to the food. There was a lot of different kinds fish. They all smelled wonderful and Axel could of cared for anyone of them. Nice thing about being blind looks didn't affect what you ate or the world around you. Axel would eat almost anything no matter how gross as long as it smelled alright. Although everything here smelled great. He looked towards what might be a sneeze guard, it might tell you what things were, but even if it had braile Axel wouldn't be able to read it.

Tiamek placed a dish on his tray, it smell wonderful. "It smells wonderful....." Axel commented to Tiamek and followed along after Tiamek as she grabbed them drinks. He couldn't quite smell what she grabbed, so he moved the glass closer to his face to sniff it. It took a second, but he figured it out. "Hmmmm....." Axel murmured at the drink before placing it back. He liked milk, Big surprise there, but Axel thought that he should try and introduce Tiamek and Tenshi to soda. Although that might be a bad idea...Who knows unless they experience it.

Tiamek had finished paying and started to lead him over to where Tenshi was. The smell of the other cat was getting stronger, Axel's ears flattened for a second and his tail swished about behind him. There was a lot of laughter from this table. It was a good sign of Friendly people, So hopefully the other cat wouldn't be as territorial as most other male cats. Axel felt the case on his back shake violently for a second, Axel wasn't quite sure why it kept doing that, but he hoped it wasn't anything bad. He placed the case on the floor next to his spot. "Thanks Tiamek" Axel said to her as he scratch the back of his head. Axel had started to sit when Tiamek scolded Tenshi, His ears flattening again. He had missed what had been said, but apparently it wasn't what Tiamek thought he should say. Axel's attention was drawn to Mariya as she introduced them, Axel ears raising up at his name.



Graves watched as The newcomers got food and found their way over to the table. Of course the new faces and race of everyone had Grave excited. He'd never been around so many different creatures at a time...Wait maybe when they were in the forest that one night, but everyone appeared human. Graves leaned his head on his hand. The wolf man was the first to really talk to them. Tehuti's voice sounding flat at while answering the man's question. Of course when Graves was asked about being awake at this hour, he could only stare stupidly at him for a second. A semi-large smile grew across Graves' face. " You mean I'm not asleep right now?" Graves said jokingly amazed, looking at the Fox woman as she started yelling at her companion. Why she was doing that escaped Graves. He had a warped sense of humor as it was and the word grave always got him overly excited. "Nice to meet everyone...." Graves said as he was introduced, giving a wave to everyone.

(happy early halloween, a massive wall of text. b: )

It seemed that 'Tenshi' as Mariya had called the wolf guy wasn't meaning to be rude, but was just a little bit... weird... Not that Tehuti could say anything about being weird though!
Tiamek was more his sort of company. She came across as intelligent and politely natured much like he was, though she did seem at odds with everything, like she hadn't been in a place like this before. Tehuti was the same when he first woke up though, it brought back memories but they didn't last long, when he was referred to and the questions started again.
"Oh please no, the pleasure is all mine Miss Tiamek. Someone of your elegance is really quite refreshing to meet." He responded with a little bow. Tiamek was certainly a lot different from his usual company like Mariya, she looked like she knew etiquette and restraint instead of the brash shouting whilst eating and generally unruly behaviour of the blue haired whirlwind that had managed to cover her face in honey this exact moment....


X{♪}Not elegant?! Woah, honey escape! Wait, erotic? No.. That's just as bad, I think... is it?
Mariya just stared at Tehuti when he made his comment...
"What was that meant to be meaning Fur-ball? I am not Elegant?... Actually... No you are right..." she started before realising that the honey was dripping off her toast into her cleavage (well what passed as cleavage), it wasn't a lot, just a drip but it was annoying... She'd payed for that honey! It wasn't going to run away now!



Tehuti just looked on in bemusement as Mariya managed to contradict her argument with actions instead of words yet again. He shook his head a little with a sigh as his friend wiped the drip off with her finger and licked it clean, if he was human he'd probably find it arousing, but as it stood Mariya was a little too, human, for him...
"What, did I do something wrong? It would have been waste to use napkin! Then I could not have eaten it..." Mariya shouted in protest at Tehuti's dissaproval. She would have went on but Tiamek still hadn't had her question answered and all she was doing was delaying it more.
Tehuti just looked over at Mariya, she looked a little, exasperated, nothing new really...
"As for my length of time here, I have been living in this campus for a little more time that Mariya, maybe only a month or two though. If you do not mind me asking, Miss Tiamek, have you been in these surroundings long? It's just that you look slightly disoriented with them, as if you are experiencing a lot of new things." Tehuti asked back in a friendly tone.
The other cat was also someone he wanted to ask a few questions, but they could wait until Tiamek had finished conversing, Tehuti wouldn't leave a pretty girl out of interesting conversation after all, actually it was more like he couldn't! There was something about Tiamek that caught his eye... Maybe it was the animalistic blood she seemed to have within her? He didn't know...

Tenshi's ears flicked up as he heard the exchange of words between Tiamek and Tehuti, and he glanced up to get a better look at the conversation.
Being raised as a princess in a strict clan, it was quite normal for her to act and speak with 'elegance,' as Tehuti put it, the big cat monster certainly seemed similarly mannered as well.
The wolf samurai was about to make some sort of joke on it when some of the honey from Mariya's bread dripped off into her cleavage.
A bemused grin crossed Tenshi's face as she wiped the honey off with her finger and licked it off, thinking it was really... hot, as most would say nowadays.
He chuckled as Mariya shouted at Tehuti, who seemed to disapprove of the scene, only giving her a glance, before explaining to Tiamek about how long he had been here, Graves putting in his two cents as well, saying that he'd only been here a few days himself.
" Ya don' say," Tenshi added, glancing over to the undead guy, " Ya probably know more 'bout things aroun' 'ere more than I do, mate!"
Tiamek couldn't help but become flustered when Tehuti spoke, saying that the pleasure was all his, and that someone of her elegance was quite refreshing to meet, even addressing her as Miss Tiamek!
She smiled as he gave her a small bow, he certainly was quite well-mannered, much like herself, it was quite nice to meet someone like that, especially since she had gotten used to Tenshi, to whom manners had a bit of trouble coming to mind first.
Her attention was redirected as Mariya's honey covered bread dripped a bit onto her chest, and she wiped it up with her finger, licking it clean, saying in an exasperated tone that it would've been a waste to use a napkin.
Tiamek smiled and shook her head, deciding that the polite thing to do was to not say anything at all on the matter.
She looked to Tehuti as he spoke, saying that he had been living on the campus for a little longer than Mariya, and asked if she herself had been here for long, and that she looked slightly disoriented with them, once again, that flustered feeling came when he said Miss Tiamek.
The kitsune princess couldn't help but wonder why, maybe it was because it had been so long since meeting someone with similar mannerisms to hers, ever since the rest of her family had been killed off, save for her older sister, it was hard to come by those who practiced etiquette and politeness.
Before she could answer, Graves spoke up, saying that he'd been here a few days himself, and that he was still getting used to everything, followed by Tenshi, who commented that the undead man might know about more things around here than the samurai himself.
Tiamek shot her companion a look, before she focused her attention on answering Tehuti's question, " Apologies for my companion, Tehuti, manners aren't exactly the first ideals that come to his mind...
As for your question, yes, I am quite... puzzled, by many of the new things here, a great deal of them are not present where I come from.
It's just that a lot of things here are rather foreign to me, I am still learning about them, though I am somewhat afraid of them, I have only been here for about a week or so, as well as my companion here," she answered as best as she could, gesturing to Tenshi as she spoke of him.
" Axel here has been helping us with getting acquainted with a few of the strange new things of this world, but, truth be told, we still have much to learn," she added with a slight chuckle at the end, gesturing to Axel as she spoke his name, seeing the Bastet was enjoying his trout for the most part, slightly moving his head to whomever was speaking to listen to the conversation.
Tiamek smiled slightly, before returning her attention to Tehuti, he seemed quite... different, from most others she had met, in a good way, his slight similarities to Axel told her hints that he also was of Egyptian origins.
Even if he might come off as intimidating because of his size at first, really, he was very polite, even though Tiamek was quite fond of cats, Tehuti seemed to grab her interest right away.
She realized she was becoming very flustered again, for the third time in a row, and quickly took a sip of her mint tea to try to recompose herself, unsure of if anyone had noticed it yet.

"Oh no do not let it bother you! In reality it was probably my own fault for not reading the tone of his voice correctly. I do apologise if I came across as cold towards you Mr Tenshi."
Tehuti nodded in agreement with Tiameks words, his first memories from his past were of waking up in an alley in some city, he had no idea where he was, who he was or how he got there, never mind why he was the only one that had fur...People being cautious of him would have been an understatement! Most people ran screaming, well most other than those that were too shocked to move, and the children,... the children seemed to like him, maybe he reminded them of a cartoon character or something, he never found out.
"Yes yes of course, I found myself bemused by many a thing when I started out. Everything soon became clear to me though as I learned the ways of this world and its contents. It should not take too long for you and your friend to fit into things." He answered back as the conversation made its way through their meal.
At the mention of Axel once more, Tehuti glanced over at the other cat being, who seemed a little on edge, well that's what his body language was telling Tehuti. In general Tehuti didn't mind other cats, he wasn't very territorial, just as long as there was ample food for hunting that is, if food was low then the other cat wouldn't know what had hit it... There wasn't that problem in Mitomi though, not with the kitchen on standby if it was needed.
"So your name is Axel? I like it. It is always nice to meet a fellow feline. I take it you are from the 'modern world' then?" Tehuti said as Axel was brought into the mix. Hopefully the other cat was friendly, he didn't fancy a heated exchange of words in front of a lady of class like Tiamek.
