Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Not usually. Mebbe he's got brain damage or somethin'."

Crow gave another snort.

"That's one way of putting it."

Julian gave the pair a slightly miffed look, slow to return to his senses.

"Shush, the lot of you."

Holy crap.

Julian could only watch Rabid, his mind going quickly and blissfully blank.

"Oh."

Lenore made a gagging sound reminicient of Crow, shaking her head and turning away.

"Too freakin' gross."

Crow seemed to share the sentiment. Looking over at Liam, she gestured helplessly at the hormone-controlled drone her brother seemed to have mutated into.

"You just HAD to try to make him perverted."

"Blech."

Pushing herself out of her chair, Crow contented herself to look cross as she made her way to the remains of the buffet table. Picking up a cookie and checking it thoroughly for mutant bodily fluids before eating, she gave Julian a slightly disgusted look.

Way to not be subtle.

Julian sat down again rather heavily, looking as though he was trying to catch his breath. He gave Liam an only slightly pathetic look, shrugging helplessly.

I'm not sure I'm any good at this. Girls usually scare the s**t out of me.

Deimos kept glaring at Sabriel. "They holiday has been alright, until that meanie crashed in our house." He said, nodding towards Jean Claude. "You and he would porbbaly get along." He snapped at Sabriel.

Chin glanced over, following his nod to the man. "Ah. Well that's...kinda good, I guess." she said, a little uncomfortably. There were a lot of new people about, weren't there? It was getting impossible to know everyone.

"Why? Is he nice?" she asked with a slight grin. It wasn't fair to gang up on poor Sabriel, but still!

Sabriel continued glaring daggers at Deimos, the only sign he'd heard a quick, angry lash of his tails. He kept a protective paw around the jar - he wasn't going to get it.

Rabid's voice rang out into the ballroom, thankfully putting a stop to it. Chin looked disappointed. "I guess we have to go then. It was nice seeing you, Dei - hope things get better for you! And happy New Year's!"

After checking to make sure that Sabriel and the bloom were still with her, she waved and headed for the door.

"That was fun, wasn't it?" she asked in an undertone, taking a last look back at the ballroom, all glorious and decked out for Christmas.

Sabriel, sulking, only grumbled. Stupid Dei...

Gullien offered a wave goodbye to Silencer and Rex's backs as they walked out. The head thing on Rex's back may have waved back, or being flailing, or something. Let's assume waving. Well, Silencer and Rex seemed nice and now she knew a little more about the people who ran Magical Mishaps. Glancing over the other guardian and her little Mishap, she smiled hesitantly.
"Ah, hello. I didn't see you standing there? Are you heading out too?"
She could hear a small gurgle from Lassa. It was pretty late.
"We're probably going to head to the kitchen for a midnight snack or something if you want to come too..."

Lassa signed unhappily as the tail retreated. But, but, but! The big other kid patted her on the head, prompting a giggle before he left. Booo! A bit tired and rather over-stimulated, Thylassa gurgled, looking around. Everyone seemed to be leaving? No, there was someone Gullien was talking too. A big person with another kid? She couldn't quite see.

"Great!" Gullien replied, smiling at the other guardian and what she assumed was her (what was that kid, a plant?) Mishap. "It's not far from here. I've gotten pretty good at finding where the food is at." She glanced down at the little Mishap, but judging from the speed people were using to leave the room, it was probably best to do introductions in the kitchen. "Let's go."

The yank of the stroller surprised Lassa and she glanced up at and around. She had a quick glance of a neat-colored kid with a big hand before she was pointed at the door. They were leaving already? She stuck one hand out and waved to the hat-boy. She had to pull it back in quick though as the stoller passed through the door.

Gullien took a look around the hallway to get her bearings. Right. Trusting the other guardian and Mishap to follow, she pointed herself and the stroller in what was hopefully the right direction. Kitchen ho!
