Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stella sat in the flower garden on a bench shaded by a hanging vine. It was the first day of school, and she was waiting for students to arrive and classes to begin. She looked forward to meeting her students, and all those would be attending the Academy. With a little smile on her face, Stella watched a small ant carrying a crumb much larger than itself. It is amazing what one individual is capable of, she thought serenely as it progressed slowly home. It was a beautiful morning, which boded well for the momentous day. So many students would be taking a brand new step in their lives, and even those who were returning would have great lessons to learn in the next year. It was an important beginning for many people, but Stella had faith that it would turn out well for each of them.

The ant climbed over rocks and crawled under leaves, always making it's way home. It's dedication to the task was astounding, and Stella appreciated the small creature. After a little while, she stood, turning to take in her surroundings. This truly was a beautiful place. As she faced the center of the gardens, she noticed a red-headed figure peering at her from around the fountain. Could this be a student, here already? she thought happily. What an interesting girl, to come and enjoy these gardens right away. Stella smiled at her and gave a little wave, and then started to make her way over to introduce herself.

The girl's eyes widened and she looked slightly embarrassed before smiling back. Stella laughed merrily, a sort of tinkling sound. "I am Professor Chrysanti," she said after crossing the stepping stones to meet her. "But you may call me Stella if you wish." She wanted the students to be comfortable with her. "You are a student?" she asked, making sure. You never really knew how old a person was in a place like this, not by just looking at them. And she knew most of the professors, unless new people had been hired, so a student she must be. Stella noted the way the girl held herself - it seemed as if she was caught between poise and a child-like curiosity. It was a good combination, she decided. A good balance.





((OOC: It's so embarrassing xD If my hair didn't poof into a lion's mane when I cut it, I would have too. ^^ Also, it helps a lot if you quote me and the other people your character is interacting with, that way we can tell that you replied. I'd hate for people to just not notice and then your characters get stuck. -see spoiler-

Edit: Just realized that I completely failed at quoting you last time emotion_facepalm ))

Stella took Mariah's hand when she introduced herself, and then noticed her embarrassment. "Apology accepted," she said with a smile, although there had been no need to apologize. Still, Stella would not deny someone forgiveness who wanted it, even if they did not need it. You never knew what mattered to someone. "It is lovely to meet you, Mariah. I am the school counselor, but I also teach General Magic and Pottery. Are you in either of those classes?" She had not looked at her roster lists yet, and now regretted it. It would have been nice to be able to recognize the names of her students if she met them. She looked down at the pond and saw the koi swimming about rapidly, rippling the water. "Oh," she said softly, watching them.

((OOC: Welcome to the world of coding! Step right up and see how many mistakes you make before throwing your computer at a wall! Free to play, impossible to win! ))

Mood:Ever-curious.
Location:Zen Garden
Thoughts:'Someone new?'
OOC:"Whoo! More people! ^^ And I haven't thrown my computer at a wall yet. I threw it at my pillow. ^^;;; When I was working on the coding for this Mariah's post-design-thingy, I actually screamed at it. -3-; I had my dogs looking at me weirdly and everything. -3-;; Oh, and I can't think of any other way to reply to Darius and Stella POLITELY without seeming offending..... ~facedesks from previous effort~ Brain so tired..... @-@"

Professor: Darith Nailo

"Mine is the hand that saves all that ever was and will be."

ooc: For a second there I forgot about Darith's eyes XD and I know the feels of starting in a RP when your characters been around its just kinda "hmm, more bio-like information to throw out do-do-do." xd
Location:Gardens
Mood: Neutral
With:Stella & Mariah

"Oh. I see," Stella responded to Darith's explanation of his eyes. So interesting, she thought as she watched his eyes change color again, wondering what he meant by 'one of his blood.' But it would be improper to ask, as she did not know if such a question would offend him. Still, it was a trait she had never seen before, and it intrigued her. She took his outstretched hand. "It is good to meet you Darith. This is Mariah. She is a student here," Stella said as she gestured to her, choosing to make the introduction for Mariah, since the girl had barely spoken since the new professor arrived. She worried once again that something was wrong, and glanced at her, expression conveying concern.
