Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Rain," she said. "And you're Kayako," she added, eliminating the need for her to ask. "A man named Novak said that was your mothers." Rain looked at her with the same usual empty stare. So this is the girl the Ageha Squad was talking about earlier, she thought. What is it about her that has everyone so worked up?

"Ok," she resonded. "I'll see you later then." Rain moved out of the way so that Kayako's escort go continue down their way. I should probably head back to the room... she figured, thinking that the scientists wouldn't want her gone for as long as she has been already.

Rain watched as Kayako was led away until they disappeared behind a corner. Not wanting to linger and longer, she turned around and headed to another stairwell. As she ascended the steps, she thought to herself. I wonder if I really will see her again... she pondered as she listened to each echo of her bare feet against the steps.

Reaching her floor, she went out into the hall and walked down until she retrned to her room. The door opened and she walked in. The kids were still going about their usual activities. Rain's legs carried her all the way back to her bed against the wall where she sat down and started her usual staring contest with wall parallel to hers.

((Hehe, wow. Lots o' stuffs there. razz Hey.. I was wondering.. Is Kayako gonna end up in Rain's room/place? Or what? oO`))

((Hmm... yeah, I was thinking they'd want to check on her and all that fancy stuff. Hehe... who knows what'll happen after that. razz Guess we should leave it to Tolly to figure out, or something. razz

Hrm.. it be gettin' pretty late... I think I'm going to bed now. See ya tomorrow. Oh! And I'll be home litte afore 1pm tomorrow and Friday. Yay, finals scheduling!! xd ))

Kayako yawned, stretching her arms and walking down the wall. She didn't feel like waiting. The scientists that had checked her over after the crash had left her alone in a room near the edge of the building, while they'd gone to discuss her 'living arangments'. Of course Kayako, seeing no sign of that b*****d Xellien, had decided that she was sick of their official business, and had left to wander around her 'home', leaving them a note appropriatly adorned with a drawing of a smiley-face sticking out it's tounge.

'Besides' she thought 'If there was any worry of me escaping they wouldn't have left me by myself with an unlocked door anyways!'

Walking silently, she came across the place where she and that other girl had met on her way inside. Remembering the way she'd gone, Kayako turned, peeking around the corner of the wall to another hallway to make sure no one was there before starting down it. There seemed to be no signed of anyone in the whole building.

'They must be all gathered in one place....'

She kept walking, curiosity to see the other parts of the facility getting the better of her again.

Kayako rounded another corner, looking carefully to make sure that she was still alone. She could here the sound of faint music somewhere nearby, but she wasn't entirely sure it was a good idea to go looking for the source.

'Well...like I thought before, they wouldn't have left the door unlocked if I wasn't aloud to be out here!'

She clenched her fist and headed down towards the sound. Stopping at an intersection of hallways, she listened carefully, trying to pinpoint the direction the music was coming from, which wasn't entirely easy to do with the echoing created by the empty space.

'That way....'

She turned to her right and went past a few doors, making her way to the other side of the building. As she turned a sharp corner, the music suddenly became louder, much louder. Near the end of the hallway, a door sat open, the sound of a guitar flowing out of it in waves.

With a little hesitation, Kayako walked over to it, and peeked around the corner. Inside, she saw a bustle of activity, a complete contrast to the dull silent environment of the rest of the facility. And in the corner, the same girl Kayako had met before, playing her song and seemingly ignoring everyone else around.

She stood there silently, listening but keeping still, not sure how the scientists would react if they found her there.

(((Tolly or Rekka, one of you make the next scene!)))

'She must've saw me....'

Kayako stood silently behind the door, glancing over her shoulder slightly in case anyone was heading her way. She figured that she could always go back to her room, but she'd wandered so far without paying attention to her surroundings that she wasn't sure she would be able it find it again.

She felt sort of bad for spying on the other girl, since she knew it was probably embarrassing for her to realize someone was watching her play.

Suddenly, hearing something that caught her interest, Kayako leaned back and started listening to the other inhabitants of the room. Three girls who looked all the same were sitting nearby, chattering amongst themselves excitedly about something.

"Did you see?? It was Anemone! She was in the hall earlier!"

"Wow, if Anemone's here, that must mean Master Dewey is here too!"

"You think he'll come see us?"

The girls all squealed at once, hopping around with joy that seemed overdone for just one man. Kayako tuned them out, not wanting to hear any more of their conversation.

'Master Dewey?? He must be the head honcho around here....So he's the one that controls that black LFO I'll bet. He might be useful to me if I play my cards right...'

Her underhanded second nature was showing itself again. Internally, she was already scheming of a way to better her situation, and hopefully get what she wanted in the end.

She decided there was only one good way to start. If this 'Dewey' was here now, this might be her only chance to get a foothold in this place. She spotted an overviewer walking out of a door to her left. It was a rash desicion, but it had to be done.

She ran to the overseer and stopped her in her tracks.

Looking up, Kayako smiled sweetly, looking as innocent and excited as those girls had looked moments ago. Seeing that she was dressed the same as everyone else, she figured that if she was lucky the overseer wouldn't find her out of place.

"Excuse me, is it really true that Master Dewey is here today?? If he is, will he be coming to see us soon??"

She kept the same enthusiastic smile, pretending she was really happy, hoping that her plan would work.

(((OK, we NEED Tolly now!!)))
