Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is the Harper house, and there are plenty of boxes scattered about from the lack of unpacking. Also, the garage has been taken over by Kasie's father and is deemed the art studio.

Okay. Kasie was a bit confused. She was so sure his last name was Smoot, and she even went to try to point it out. She raised a quizzical brow. “Smooth? I thought your last name was Sm--oh. Oh.” It only clicked until after she spoke up. She inwardly bapped her brain for being too slow. She couldn’t help the small snort that escaped her as she grinned at Garland. “You’re quite the punny one aren’t you, Mr. Smooth? Haha, I wish I could do the same for my name, but it’s just Kasie Harper. Not much I can work with here.”

Kasie gave him a sheepish shrug as she answered his question. “Weeeeell, I live here with my family and stuff, but I’ll be living here on my own sometime soon though. Like, my family tends to, like, move around a lot, but since I’m finally an adult per say, I decided to stay here in Nirvani, and I got the a-okay from my parents! The thing is that I think it might be just really lonely because I’ve already been here for about a year already, and I haven’t gotten to make any friends yet! It’s a bit sad now that I think about it, but it’s okay! I’m determined to make more friends this year and not wind up as some hermit or something.”

“Pft! I’m just talking drama at this point. Ignore me. Anyway, yeah! Let me be the lucky one here. I definitely scored since I got such a cutie like you. So, I guess I’m really tall, ooooor maybe you’re just really short. Hehe. I think we’re actually the same height! That’s so adorable!” She cooed out as she ruffled Garland’s hair in good humor. Ohfudgingsnickerdoodleswithasideofchocolatechips. She touched a boy. She didn’t even mean to. No! She accidentally gave him cooties! Gosh darn it! Now he was going to be so mad because someone like her ruined his perfection. Kasie immediately withdrew her hand as if it had been scalded and took a step back, going straight for changing the subject. Ah! Basketball! Yes! She should answer that question! “Actually, that hoop belongs to my younger brother. He’s a bit of an NPC and all, so I don’t think he’ll ever introduce himself anytime soon.. Um… Yeah….” She awkwardly trailed off.

Wait! Wait! She could still save herself! There was still more she could talk about, and then the matter about her touching Garland would never occur! “How about a hike? I mean, that’s fun, and not to mention, it’s free too! Like, we could go to the forest, the fields, or maybe the mountains? Ooor, if you want to go for something a bit more adventurous, we can try the ruins or the abandoned zoo ororor the mountain mines! It’s your pick!” Plus, they wouldn’t have to be stuck in one place per say, and Kasie wouldn’t have to be reminded about how bad she goofed up.

“Oh! I’ll be eighteen next season, but as of right now, I'm just seventeen. How about you?”

It only took her a matter of minutes to completely forget what had just happened. It was as if Kasie was on a rollercoaster with her chattering because it kept ascending and ascending in which she couldn’t exactly turn back. Of course, it didn’t show any sign of stopping any time soon. The coffee was to blame, and it’d probably be a matter of time before she crashed. Horribly. Well, she wouldn’t know until that time came. Until then, it was blab city! “It’s okay. At least, you tried. That’s all that really matters. I mean, Harper is kind of a really hard name to work with. Not much puns to think of there. I mean, I guess I’ve been known as a Harpy because I tend to talk a lot, but I mean, that’s not a really awesome name per say because I think Harpy has a more negative sound than anything else.”

“Well, not really. We’re kind of just renting it per say since we weren’t going to stay here for all too long. Kind of pointless to buy a house only to move away right? But since I’m staying, I’ll probably have to find a new place to stay at sometime soon. I did see something on the request board about a house, so I’ll definitely shoot for that!” She explained as she wandered around her house to gather things for the hike. Her keys and two water bottles. All done! Kasie glanced back over at Garland to make sure he knew that she was still listening. “Twenty-two? That’s not that much older than I am! Haha, the only exception is that you’re legal and stuff. You better watch out then, Garland, because that means you can’t get away with things so easily. Just kidding! I’m not advocating any bad behavior or anything. I mean, I won’t judge you if you did do that stuff unless it somehow does involve me or something. Then, I’d be judging you, but I’m not. Oh, that's kind of confusing now that I think about it. Just forget what I just said because I'm not even sure what I was rambling on about.”

“What are we waiting for then? Let’s go the fields! I mean, I think it’s a bit of a further walk than other places, and I haven’t been out by there before. Much less anywhere else, but you’ve at least been in the fields. That way, we don’t get lost or something! C’mon, slowpoke!” Excitement. Adrenaline. Caffeine. It was most likely the caffeine that had her so pumped and wired. Oh, well! She would have dragged him by his hand, but it was a good thing that she was at least able to remember that she was going to give him nasty cooties of doom if she did. Then again, she grabbed his hand anyway to try to rush him out her door because again, caffeine really was not a good mix for her better judgement.

“I really can’t believe this is happening. Like, I’m really excited for all of this to happen because I haven’t been able to hang out with anyone, and that gets really lonely and stuff. I mean, I’m fine on my own and stuff, but it kinds of gets awkward and creepy when you realize that the only one to really talk to is either yourself or a walrus. Oh! Did I mention that I have a pet walrus? His name is Waldo, and he’s just so adorable….” And blah, blah, blah.
