Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once again the classroom had been far too dull for the boy's taste, and once more he had slipped himself out when the poor teacher had her back turned to attend to another child. Winter was away at work, she was pulling more hours to try to make enough to get a playset or something that Cody could use to keep himself entertained for more than a few minutes.

He had a lot of energy, sitting about stacking blocks and coloring pictures only made the bull boy more jittery. He had, instead, amused himself by exploring the building while simply running. Teachers, students, and tech alike were dodged or bumped into as he rounded corners, laughing wildly.

Eventually the sounds of chaos peeked his interest and sent him in that direction. Coming onto the scene, Cody slid akwardly to a stop, his hooves clattering on the smooth floor. He lost balance for a moment and fell back to his rear, grunting as he did so. However, he was a bit winded and didn't bother to stand up. He could watch from the floor quite comfortably.

182 was a D-tech, that meant he was supposed to be in the know, didn't it? He was supposed to be in the loop, know everything that was going on, maybe even know some things that the parents didn't. But for some reason, he didn't. At least not for this particular event. The night before he had gotten in a bit of an arguement with another tech, and had locked himself in his computer lab to work on information about the newest children. He had unplugged the phone lines, and so something had gone wrong outside, he wasn't told.

Now, in search of some kind of sustenance, he had ventured out into the building. People were buzzing all around, talking of kidnappings and mistakes and all sorts of crud that really had nothing to do with him. They kept bumping into him, but he only ever stopped long enough to yell at them not to touch his bags. As he approached the main lobby though, he noticed that it seemed strangely more empty than it usually did, and through the windows he could see a whole lot of fuss going on outside. That was odd, but not odd enough that he should go see what it was about.

Even odder, there were little monkies here, two that he had seen so far. They weren't supposed to be here, and if someone had seen that he had seen them he could get in a lot of trouble. Speeding up his pace a bit, he waved his hand at a toddler currently seated by itself. "What are you doing here?" He shouted, grabbing at its wrist, "Little eels should be at home, not messing things up here!" He scowling visibly, and though he wasn't really supposed to be around little monkies, he had to do something with them. Waving his other arm, he tried to get the attention of the one who seemed to have fallen down, "Here now!"

365 paused, looking down at the child... Oh dear, had they had something? Or did someone else excape Kat's class? They really needed to get that woman childlocks... No he looked a bit older than Kat's class that was going on right now. "Al..The boss," she mentally hit herself for using the formal name... She wasn't supposed to, just slipped out sometimes. "The boss's daughter went missing this morning, we're calling out search parties. Others are looking around the area for her... And the rest should probably be getting back to work." She let out a sigh, "Can't blame them for grabbing a break where they can. S'been nonstop work all month." With that, she went back to peering over her notes. Her tone, as always, was speedy and rushed. But that seemed to be moreso just who she was rather than wanring to end conversations quickly.

She paused once more, looking over the edge of ehr clipboard "Why are you here anyways? Maybe you should head home..." They didn't need another kid getting lost up in this mess, all hell would brake out if they lost any of the other parents kids... The cops would be called, and then the cops would get mad about not being involved in D-corps things... bad idea on that one.

"Oh..." His voice trailed off at her responce. He already knew that from eaves dropping. That didn't help at all really, cept that the person who was missing was the boss's little girl.His ears drooped and he scuffed his right foot. The sneaker would make sqeaking noised against the pollished tile laminate floor.

"I was hopping I could visit my dragon egg today..." He really didn't want to go back home after coming all the way out here.

(Ack, sorry Ara! XD Not very good with this metaplot stuff :B *swt*)
EDIT: omfg FURTHER SWT SWT .. loads of editing this post okay. D:

"Thank you." he grinned. Well he'd get to see the egg sometime today atleast, and his father knew where he was if something came up. But he still had to wait and waiting took forever in a childs mind. Well maybe he could find something to occupy his time.

"Oh!" Lian turned back to 365. "is there anything I can help you with maybe? If you get it done sooner, the boss won't eh 'have your head', right?" He smiled slightly, well atleast he offered. It might only be 'important grownup work that kids wouldn't understand' or something. it never hurts to ask.
