Welcome to Gaia! ::

((My my, so much to answer to! Amazing how much you could all post in one day. I couldn't get on yesterday since I was out. Will anyone be taking weaponry?))

Rhonda entered the elevator and stood in the nearest corner. Like the others, she wasn't very social. She leaned on the wall of the elevator and mostly had her attention to her feet. It wasn't until a minute later that she looked up when the male spoke, seeing the vines around his arm. Her eyes slightly widened at the sight, it wasn't something that she would ordinarily see. "My name is Rhonda Tashijan..." She mumbled. It was obvious that the others didn't hear her, making the silence even more awkward and longer. She heard a weak voice come from above, and slowly looked up.

There was a silver blond headed girl peaking from the elevator start, it was such a scary and sudden sight since she came out of nowhere. Rhonda noticed that Huynh was also spooked. The voice from above remained weak as it spoke. She had jumped inside the elevator. Rhonda immediately knew that it was a ghost since you could slightly look through her. Rhonda stood still, trying not to bring any attention towards herself. Her eyes widened once again when Itoko transformed into a fox. It came to such a facility to Itoko that it amazed Rhonda. From there on Rhonda spaced out,thinking about the odd occurrences happening around her until the elevator came to a stop.

A full on conversation went on and she didn't take part of it. Typical Rhonda. She grabbed her suitcases and stepped out of the elevator, being the last one to get out. She pulled out the map and there was a silver line guiding her to her dorm. She stood in front of it and found the ghost to be there. Looking at the silver plate she bit her bottom lip. Looks like she would have to be sharing her dorm with Itoko. Facing her she said "I'm Rhonda Tashijan. Your Itoko right?"

Heading up the stairs, Ryoko noticed a slight disturbance in the air. It was like there was a person, or part of a person, standing in her way. She confirmed it once she head a slight voice ask for help. She say a hazy image, like the vibrations from her voice didn't connect with her body. She was almost sure that there was something there now, but still it didn't take up space.

She decided to completely ignore the voice and sidestep where she thought the voice had come from. Trying her best to "see" the figure beside her while she was walking, she saw an almost hazy figure of a girl and a chill. This place is filled with loons. She continued to go up the other 4 flights and finally reached her destination. Her combat boots had made this a tad harder than it usually should have been, but she was fit, she could handle a couple bits of stairs.

She sighed, her fingertips pressed firmly upon the wall closest to her. Walking while she dragged her fingers against the wall. She slowly counted under her breath, "I....2....3.....4.....5," and she felt a door. She lightly tapped the door, the noise causing her to see her name embellished upon a metal plate, next by the door. "Hmmm..." She turned the nob, and it opened easily. It was as if the door knew she was supposed to be there. An empty room. What else did you expect? She heard the door close shut behind her. Walking in slowly, she set her bags on the bed and began unpacking. She didn't turn the lights on, she didn't need it.

Itoko's ear perked up as she heard as a girl spoke to her. She noticed that this was the girl who didn't say a thing in the elevator. A scowl flashed on her face, but it soon faded away. Was she just kidding me this whole entire time? Knowing I was looking for her and yet saying nothing? She smiled slightly, looking in the general direction of Rhonda and bowed. "Yes, I'm Itoko Mitsu. I would offer you a handshake, but that's a tad inconvenient for me." She laughed in a light voice, almost like small bells. "It seems like you are my dorm partner. Shall we go in?" She walked through the door, waiting for Rhonda to do the same, only opening the door instead of walking through it.

Itoko saw that the room was very bare, but there were two beds. She had nothing to unpack, she she just stood there, unsure of what to do with herself.

Itoko wondered about Rhonda's response. Had I said that out loud by accident?.... She lightly touched her bottom lip in thought. She snapped out of her daze when she heard Rhonda speak again. "Oh, no. I didn't bring anything with me, seeing as there was no need." She sat on the edge of the empty bed, slightly wondering if she would fall right through it, but oddly enough, her ghostly form held. She smiled, and poked the mattress with her finger. A small depression appeared in the sheets where her finger was. It seemed like the University knew who they were housing. She declared that so far, her favorite place in this University was her bed.

Pulling her legs up onto the bed, she fanned her silken skirt out onto the bed. She turned to Rhonda. "So do you know when they hand out schedules or what classes we are supposed to take? I actually have the largest urge to explore this grand place, but I'm scared I'll get lost, which already happened."

Sighing quietly, Huynh opens his eyes before looking over at his bag. It was barely big enough to really look heavy, yet full of the things he would need for the coming months. 'It would be best if I unpack now...' Huynh thought, yawning a bit. 'Odd, I'm more tired that I originally thought... Mustn't over exert myself on the first day.' Grabbing his bag, Huynh unzips the front pocket, taking out his potted plants. Smiling a bit, he then gently waves his hand above them, repairing any damage that he caused them when he was walking. 'I... shall decorate at least my section of the room. If my roommate complains, I shall simply comply with him.'

Bringing the plant over to his desk, Huynh puts it against the wall, before closing his eyes once more. Waving his hands over the plant once more, he begins to channel his energy into it, 'feeling' it grow. After a few seconds, Huynh uses both his hands to gently tap the plant, before it spread all across the wall. Opening his eyes, Huynh sees his wall covered with seedless moss. Smiling to himself, he begins to channel his energy once more, 'coloring' the moss slightly, as if painting a mural. It took much of his concentration to do this, but he felt the headache he would feel after doing this would well be worth it. A short time later, Huynh pulls his energy away, and stares at his creation. 'Nothing says 'home' like a small painted forest in your room...'

'Now, I am home.' Huynh thinks happily staring at his 'creation'. 'Nothing like a small painted forest in your room...' As soon as he finished his thoughts, the headache hit him, making him groan quietly. "'I... shall rest until I am needed..." Huynh muttered to himself, rubbing the bridge of his nose. After he fell on his bed, Huynh had closed his eyes, and tried to get some rest. 'I can make giant boulders, make solid rock harder than steel, yet decorating a single wall gives me a headache like no other... I wonder if I can also find training in that somewhere... Note to self, finish putting away clothes once headache has passed.'

Itoko nodded slightly and looked out of the large glass window. The moon glowed with a brightness that was not unnatural, but comforting, welcoming the two girls to their new home. The beams of soft moonlight fell through Itoko's airy form.

"So, what made you decide to come to this school? It isn't the most mainstream type of school out there, if I may say so myself," she said, now staring at the roof while laying on her back on her bed. It was blank, and she counted the small bumps and ridges that lay there. They were like colorless stars. Her silken hair fell off the side of the bed, wisps of colored air. It seemed like the moonlight strengthened her form, allowing more people to see her than the norm. "We're going to be dorm mates for a while, so I think that we should get to know each other more, that's what I think...," she said it like she was speaking to the roof, like an absent thought.

(when do lessons start?)
Rathe arrived at the sixth floor and he continued walking down the hall till he reached his room. He pushed the door open and walked in. He flicked on the light and sat his pack on the floor and grabbed his clothes from the bag and put them into the drawer neatly. He took the rest of his meager belongings and sat them around and took out his wallet seeing that he still had about a third of the money he took from when he left his parents which would last him a bit. He finally took a tiny plant from his pocket and sat it on the beside table and watched as the moonlight caught its pettles and it began to blossom. Well little buddy you can finally blossom without having to worry about me running around with you. Rathe smiled as he read the plants emotions you could say and he instantly knew it liked its new home. Rathe moved to the bed and lay down.
