Welcome to Gaia! ::

Akemi sighed in relief. "That's good. I thought you were.... Sorry Stephan!" The boy hugged the other in apology. "I get annoyed easily so...." He trailed off as he blushed. "So what's the plan?" he whispered back. "Let's bring Elliot too. I feel kind of sorry for him.. I mean he's really nice when you meet him. I'm sure he doesn't want to be here either. He suffers everytime he has to do his job..." Akemi glanced at Elliot. "Please Stephen," he begged with puppy eyes.

Elliot saw her discomfort and was quiet for a while. "Why don't we go somewhere private? You seem like you can't say it here. So let's go to my room or something like that. That way no one will bother the two of us. You can tell me all about it. Is that okay with you?" He leaned forward again. "Or maybe it's too uncomfortable to be in a man's bedroom. Oh I know. There's this secret garden way in this back room. It's very quiet there and not many people go there. In fact I've been there myself quite ofter. Scientists go there late at night so they won't disturb us. How about it?"

Ryu noddded. "You seem agitated. You already know my name though. That's enough for now," he stated as he looked away. Tsuki looked up at him with questioning eyes but was silent. All he really wanted was attention anyways so what they were saing didn't matter to him. Ryu cuddled him in his arms and gestured for him to go back to sleep. His little brother was already used to the silence anyways even though he was only three. The little kid brightened up as he saw his brother make eye contact with him. He was getting what he wanted.

Akemi frowned at him as he smoothed out a wrinkle in his shirt. "Stephan, I thought you would understand the situation better...." he said while turning his face away from him. "Though if I'm with you, he can never take me away.." Akemi mumurmed softly while blushing. "And he knows his limits. He doesn't push me to love him back..... We just can't leave him either. He's one of us Stephan!"

Elliot smiled down at her and led her along the hallways until they reached an ancient metal door. No one had bothered to replace the door at all so it just stood at its place sadly, looking out of place from the rest of the building. Elliot sucked in his breath as he pulled the doorknob to reveal green leaves and flowers in neat and orderly rows. "The scientists... They don't really take care of the garden.. They just water the plants so I thought it would be good if I took care of it... Is it nice?" Elliot choked out as he led her in. The reason why he wanted her here was to show her the garden he helped create. He felt proud that he could show it to someone. The scientist blushed as he pretended to scan the area for any people inside. There was of course none. He gestured for her to follow him as he led her to a wooden rocking bench that he himself made. "So what's wrong?" he asked gently as soon as he sat down.

Tsuki clung onto Ryu as he wrapped his long, thin tail along the curves of Ryu's waist. Ryu, of course, was used to it and paid no heed to Tsuki's action. Instead he gathered up the little kid in his arms and smiled warmly at him. "Milk!" Tsuki suddenly demanded. Ryu looked frantically around to find some to please the child but found none. Why did his little brother always have to ask for the impossible at the wrong moments?

{Sorry but I'm not allowed on the comp anymore... Hopefully that'll change so until then I might not be active.... ;-; So gomen Ostrich-kun...}

Akemi's eyes opened wide at Stephan's words. He never heard him talk this way to him. So why now? He didn't believe he said anything wrong. Feeling frustrated and depressed, Akemi ran to his own room and began to cry. He kept crying for a while until he couldn't cry anymore and fell asleep on the floor, exhausted. The boy didn't know what to do anymore, too scarerd to face Stephan. But he would have to face him eventually....

Elliot nodded. "I promise to keep it a secret. And why would I think badly of you? It can't be that bad. It's okay, you can tell me. I'll swear that I won't tell if you want me to. I swear it with my life," he said gently. He was itching to know what the secret was so badly. The scientist was naturally curious, especially since he was young. Elliot also enjoyed butting into other people's lives. This was a great opportunity to find out her big secret and what she was like.

Ryu carefully rocked the child, hoping that he wouldn't ask for milk anymore. But the kid was persistant, insisting that he wanted milk. Tsuki looked up at him with big, puppy eyes, hoping that would work. It always did. Ryu looked down at him and looked around again. But he couldn't find milk and his brother was getting impatient. He reluctantly turned to Trevor who he quietly asked for milk for his little brother.

Stephan glared at the wall he'd thrown a pillow out at. He felt bad for saying something like that to Akemi, and he was frustrated by both of their words. Akemi hadn't been here as long as Staphan, none of them have, so they didn't really understand his feelings about the scientists. When Stephan was still little and he was tested on here, the scientists were able to take advantage of his weakness and they would always beat him up and torture him to analyze how well his mutated body could handle certain things. No, Stephan wasn't scared of the scientists, but there was no way in hell he could trust one of them, even if they'd been through a very small amount of his pain. Not even if it were to save his life. But what was he going to do about Akemi? He couldn't really trust Elliot, but if it was for Akemi's sake, he wasn't too sure he could say no... but he couldn't really tolerate it either. Sighing, Stephan layed back on the bed, closing his eyes to try and get enough peace of mind to sleep it off, maybe it wouldn't be so bad after he took a day or two to just sleep and rest up his mind and body.

Daisy swallowed hard, and she closed her eyes tightly, her face was incredibly hot and red, and she took a few short breaths, "I-I.... I l-like...." she started, but her throat closed up and her mouth went dry. Why couldn't she just say it?! Because she was afraid that he'd be disgusted to be liked by an experiment like her, afraid that it would be worse than she'd imagined for so long... that it'd be too painful to bare... "F-for a while now... I-I've kept my e-eye on a c-certain someone... I-I'm too scared to s-say or do anything about it... and I c-can't imagine that i-it'd turn out well between us... b-because he's a... scientist... and I-I'm just a mere experiment..." she pushed herself to saying the truth, but she found it impossible to at this moment. Well, it was the truth... but it was rather vauge and it swerved around what she'd originally wanted to say quite a bit.

Trevor eyed Ryu with little interest, a frown set into his face, "And what makes you think I'd help you? And don't try and use the guilt trip on me with your little brother either, Diana used to do that all the time to me." he said in a monotone and irritated voice, his eyes were threatening to look away and he was showing that Ryu had to convince him to help him otherwise he'd have to ask someone else, which he'd like to see since Ryu could hardly even comunicate with the neko from the beginning, and he liked him. He couldn't wait to see his way of speaking to one of the others, whom seemed of little interest for the other.

[[{{ OOC: May this tragedy end soon! ;3; Because if you become too inactive... this roleplay will die! D: }}]]

Stephan had fallen asleep, his body was laid out diagonally across the bed, one arm was resting on his stomach while the other was parallel with his body, one leg hung off the corner of the bed while the other was slightly bent and laid on the bed in a comfortable manner. His head was turned to the side and his hair was hiding part of his face, his breathing slow and steady as he dreamed of nothing.

Daisy looked up at Elliot, "Y-you think so?" she asked, her face brightened just a bit, but then she bit her lip as she sat down, her body looked small in comparison to him, but then again, she was hunched over with fear and nerves that wouldn't die down, "Ah, b-but what if I can't tell i-if he's c-confident or shy r-right now? He said h-he used to be shy, but I-I don't really know if he i-is anymore... Oh, maybe I-I should just forget about i-it. I-I wouldn't be able to h-handle being rejected anyway..." she said, bitting her lip and staring down at the floor.

Trevor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I never said it was your little brother that bugged me. Him I'm perfectly fine with, it's you that's got some issues with me." he said, but as he was speaking he was grabbing a tall dark orange plastic pitcher and pouring milk into a small cup, "You stick to your side of the room and I'll let you have the last glass." he said, holding the cup just out of their reach, his elbow was proped up on the arm of the chair and his hand formed a fist for his cheek to rest on.

Daisy fidgeted, "A-ah, but I-I don't even know what to w-write in a l-l-love letter. I-I've never written one b-before..." she said, glancing up at him, then back a the ground,imagining that he'd laugh at her for not knowing what to put in a love letter.

Trevor smirked, then looked at the little boy reaching for the glass of milk, then he handed it to him, watching him for a moment before he sighed, standing up, "Well, if you don't mind, I'm off to take a nap." he said, moreso to the other's whom were off in their own world and conversation, leaving for his room with his hands in his pockets.

Daisy shrugged, frowning, "I-it's hard for me to t-talk to them... I-i always feel i-intimidated, no matter wh-what I do...]" she was a bit surprised at his reaction to her lack of knowledge of the contents of a love letter, but her thoughts wandered else where as she thought about his last remark. Daisy wasn't one to get close to people, and it was difficult to open up to someone and talk freely about something like this for her.

Trevor was nearly to his room by now, and he yawned, the process though, had him glancing back over his shoulder and seeing Tsuki run towards him, Ryu quickly following him. He didn't really pay much attention to it though, and he just opened his bedroom door and walked in, but he left the door open, assuming that Ryu and Tsuki would come in and shut the door behind themselves.

Stephan continued to sleep for a while longer, mainly because is was a side effect of the test from last night, one that still han't worn off, and he assumed wouldn't've worn off for a while, maybe after a couple of days. However, he was too tired to get up when he did gain consciousness, and he just layed there in his bed, his face pressed into the pillow and one arm and one leg dangling off of each side of the bed from his strange position he'd wiggled himself into while he slept.

Daisy looked at his outstreched pinky, and hesitated. What if she'd bug him if she went to him one time and he was busy or upset with something? She didn't want to make it worse by adding fuel to the fire; having him worry about her problems too. But at the same time, she longed to have a sure connection with Elliot, and she was sure she wouldn't get another chance like this. She lifted her hand shakily, her pinky just brushed agianst his for a moment and she blushed, then wrapped it around his, giggling a bit, "I-I feel like a little kid doing this. But th-thank you, Elliot." she said, smiling a little bit to herself.

Trevor glanced down at Tsuki, surprised. He knew that kids were attached tohim for some reason, but he assumed Tsuki would've stuck near his brother for the most part. He looked over at Ryu sitting on the floor, "Y'know, it's more comfortable to sit in a chair." he said, nodding towards a chair off to the side of the room. He picked up Tsuki, easily prying his arms away from around his leg, then tossed him to the middle of the bed in a playful gesture, smirking a bit. Then he sat down on the bed, yawning; sometimes he didn't really like being mutated with a cat. It had too many disadvantages in his eyes; he was always tired, his tongue was sensitive to hot foods, he wasn't so hot about water either. Sighing, Trevor laid back on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

Stephan slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes free of sleep, then he yawned as he sat there for a moment longer. He looked around his room lazily, then saw something on the floor by the door. Standing up, Stephan walked over and pickedd up the sheet of paper curiously.
