Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christian Deakon... Christian Deakon... Kaimi hadn't even heard the name before, let alone met the person she was supposed to hide gifts for as a secret santa. This lack of knowledge wasn't totally suprising, considering that Kaimi tended to spend as little time at school as humanly possible.

Today, though, she was on a mission. She'd kept an eye out for him all morning, but it didn't appear that anyone in her morning classes was Chris. So when the lunch bell rang, Kaimi made her way into a part of the school she rarely ventured. The cafeteria. Shouting and laughing assailed her ears while the smell of school food (the main reason she avoided this place and ate elsewhere) assailed her nostrils. Narrowing her eyes, she looked around.

Luck was with her, though. She heard a couple of girls call out a greeting to a boy whose appearance was unlike anything she'd ever seen. His name, apparently, was Chris. Could this be her Chris? She sure hoped so, because if she had to wander through the lunch room interviewing everyone named Chris... well. Waiting until the boy sat, she slipped over to his table before he could be joined by any of his friends.

"Hi." Kaimi said with a false sense of shyness. "Can I sit here?"

Kaimi sat, watching him with astonishment. That had to be The Biggest Sandwich she'd ever seen in her entire life. No joke. Taking out her own lunch, she eyed the pb&j and thermos of vegetable soup. Suddenly Kaimi found herself feeling rather inadequate.

"Wow... thats quite a lunch." She grinned. "You're Chris, right?"

"I'm Kaimi." Kaimi responded, grinning a little. This seemed like it had the potential to be pretty straight forward, but a little sleuthing was still necessary. "Thats a pretty magnificent sandwich. Did you make it yourself?"

"I.. ah.. I didn't go to school much during the warmer seasons. But since it got cold I've kind of been showing up more." She grinned her best sweet grin at him. "I'm trying to meet new people. Make new friends. I didn't remember seeing you around before so I thought I'd introduce myself." She took a little bite of her sandwich. "You sure eat alot." Kaimi added artlessly. "Do you cook, too?" Since he'd mentioned sandwich making, she figured it was worth a shot.

That was.. baffling. "Exorcism? Isn't that when people try to take demons out of other people?" Her eyes widened and she leaned forward. "Do you have a demon living inside you or something?" She knew that it had been suggested that the voices she heard were demons, but Naomi had refused her parent's suggestion of taking the girl to a church. But Chris talked about exorcism as if it were as normal as taking your daily vitamins.

Kaimi was fairly familiar with the more popular western religions, so the mention of catholicism cleared up a lot of her confusion. "Oooh." She smiled. "So they're helping you learn how to cook? Thats cool! What else do you like to do?"

Kaimi grinned and shrugged a little. "I dont show up for school. I'd rather bike around and explore. I spend a lot of time at the beach and the park.'' Her expression turned woeful. "But it's too cold to do most of that now. What I really love to do is dance."

Swallowing the bite of sandwich she'd been munching, she grinned at him. "Tahitian hula or regular hula. And I bellydance." Her grin got a little bigger. "They're not really... you know... modern or popular. But they're both really fun to do. What about you?"
