Welcome to Gaia! ::

[I need a better title. x__@;]

Raven scrambled out of the stuffy car, eager to be free from the metal contraption. She fanned out her wings, letting the slight wind filter through them, before looking at the giant polls holding up what looked like train tracks.

"Momma?" Raven queried, about to ask what a train was doing here, especially in the sky, when a cart of screaming people tore down it and went through a loop and twirled and disappeared.

Bird watched in amusement when a very nervous Raven turned back to her. "... I'm not so sure about this.."

If Raven had ears atop her head and was a member of the canine family, they would've perked. Somebody said Eden. She turned her head quizically to the source.

"... Hey!" Raven waved crazily toward the two figures, reasoning that they must've been the ones who spoke. Who else had bat wings and a tail around here? She raced over, excited. The butterflly resting on her shoulder, Rumkai, dug his many legs into her shirt and held on as tightly as an insect possibly could.

"Eden things? Uh-- yeah, I am." Raven blinked at the smaller Eden, watching her trying to immitate a leech. "Uhm... My name's Raven. What's yours? And," she motioned with a feathered hand, "hers."

Rumkai hopped off Raven's shoulder, and fluttered down inquisitively toward the two strangers. He didn't get many chances to observe new people, after all; Raven was often on her way to the moon if he left her shoulder. Rumkai reasoned that a new Eden would keep her occupied for at least a few moments.

... Raven wasn't too sure she liked this lady. But, it was always in everyone's best interest to be polite; she decided to continue being.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Karoko!" Raven said with a grin, bending down slightly. Her knees cracked as she went down; blasted sitting in the car.

Rumkai fluttered onto Raven's hand, stretching his wings luxuriously in the sudden breeze. "And this," Raven wiggled her fingers, elicting a disgruntled remark from the butterfly, "is Rumkai. He's a flutterboo, and he's usually too grumpy for his own good."

Rumkai was pleased. He enjoyed being the center of attention, relished it; he was rarely given that title around Raven and at their dwelling. Always squashed; always giggled at; always poked and prodded.

Much to Raven's amusement, he was all set to try our purring when the child's hand shot back. This miffed him; he decided to go closer to the girl if she wouldn't come to him.

Raven watched the butterfly light from her fingers and glide down to Karoko with a grin. He landed softly on top of her head, hoping she wouldn't scream or squeal or try to bat him off like some others before her had done.

Raven hid her chuckles behind a palm as Rumkai traveled down the length of Karoko's bangs, dangling precariously on the end of one. He flapped his wings a few times, getting the blood pumping through and allowing the brighter colors in his delicate wings to shine, before completely losing his grip on the fine strands of hair and falling to the girl's nose.

He had never been poised and suave. Rumkai had a nasty streak of clumsiness zooming through his small body.

Making her way down the street was yet another teenage female, this one walking somewhat awkwardly. This was because a certain inky-haired toddler had one hand and three octopus arms wrapped in a deathgrip around her left wrist. Her right arm was trying to keep an ice cream cone from splattering all over the ground; the octopus lad was holding a caramel apple in his free arm, sometimes pausing from looking at his surroundings to take a nibble at it.

The reason that they were at an amusement park in the first place was in Mouse's hopes of getting Sylvest's mind off of the beach he missed so badly, if only for a little while. It seemed to be working- the boy's natural curiosity had gotten the best of him and he was taking in all of the sights and sounds (and tastes) of the place. If he were to actually speak, that would take a lot off worry off of the scholar's shoulders- walking around with a silent little boy who had tentacles growing out of his back didn't recieve the friendliest looks.

"...M-mmama--" Sylvest indicated directly ahead of him with his free octopus arm. It looked like he recognized someone and wanted to say hi.

Karoko failed to answer. She looked guilty again. Noharu could never figure out why for sure, but assumed it was shame for being such a 'damn coward'. Really, she could've just as easily been right as wrong.

When Raven suddenly looked amazed by something, Karoko couldn't help but feel a bit curious as to what had her interest. When she realized what--who--it was, an odd squeal-like sound that was some obvious display of joy burst from the toddler.

There were bright sides to being such a tiny girl. For example, it was easy to weave through crowds of people, which she did while happily making her way to the boy she recognized but who's name she couldn't remember. Skidding to a stop infront of Mouse, she held her arms up toward such a boy and clapped her hands together.
