Welcome to Gaia! ::

" I need one" Riley declared as she stared into the soft brown eyes of a baby cow. It was black and white and not much bigger than her yet, plus it look soft. Despite reaching through the bars that separated her from the animal The bunny girl couldn't quite reach her target to test her theory. Still it was a fluffy and Riley loved them more than anything else in the world. "Please can I have it?."

Perry laughed and shook his head " No Riley you can't have a calf, we're not zoned for livestock." Not that that was the only reason or even the most pertinent one but it was true. That and it shifted the blame of denial from himself to some faceless lawmaker. The young man might believe in setting rules and boundaries for the twins but he also understood their childish whims and hated having to say know just for practicality's sake.

Cole ignored his father and sister for the moment and instead took in the layout of the barn they were in. It was one of the first place you could enter at the sprawling country fair and like nothing the blue eyes boy had ever seen. There was concrete walkway down the middle of it and on one side were pens of baby animals nestled in golden straw and on the other bigger versions of them being touched funny. The boy wasn't sure what to make out it although now his back tentacles were attempting to do the same thing to the ones that made up his hair.

Graham didn’t really have a plan for this little trip he’d decided to take. He’d just wanted to get away from the camp for a while and spend a little of the money he’d earned recently. Regular stores and malls bored him and offered things he could always get by stealing. This though, this fair was something entirely foreign and delightful to the rainbow haired boy. He’d balked a little at the price to get in but so far he hadn’t been disappointed in the things he’d seen. Rabbits with huuuuuge ears, geese that laid real gold eggs and actual bulls you could ride on! This was stuff you couldn’t see every day and graham was making the most of his wandering, currently having found himself in line to milk a cow. He was excited and just a little nervous, what if it felt weird?

Graham just sort of stared at the girl, boy, thing that had collided with him. It was sort of cute, sort of scary but mostly just weird. Still. It had asked a question and it would be wrong not to answer. "Milking a cow," he explained "Because most people never have, and then you can try the milk." Which Graham still wasn't sure about. He wasn't the pickiest eater but warm milk right out of a cow was sort of strange. "There's lines for goats and stuff too." Although who wanted to drink goat milk he had no idea, they ate garbage, he'd seen his mother's arm do that before.

Further down the barn the Steinmen family was slowly making it's way down the line of baby animal pens. They'd switch to the side with the adults waiting to be milked when they were done. Every now and again Riley would give a soft squeal and Cole would murmurer " ew" when a baby did something weird like lick it's own nose.

Graham's orange and blue eyes followed the path of the strange thing's arm over to where her fingers indicated something of interest. He stared for a moment before answering the question posed to him. " Those are baby animals and weird umm squid people." Yep baby animals and squid people, Graham was sure of it.

It was Cole who noticed the attention that had been drawn to him and the normally more reclusive toddler stumbled forward and other to the line where the other children were. "Hi" The single word was soft and issued with a small smile, there was something really interesting about the white skinned um girl before him. Unlike Ama/amano they weren't animal life or really fluffy but something had drawn Cole to her anyways.

Riley, upon noticing that her brother was gone grabbed her father's hand and began to drag him to where she'd spotted Cole. They couldn't lose him here he might get eaten by baby animals!
