Welcome to Gaia! ::

“…” An impatient grunt followed after a series of hasty taps on a computer keyboard, and it wasn’t long until an exasperated sigh trailed off into silence. Sitting at one of the desks, Wraith frowned at the computer screen, not quite knowing what he was doing. Being computer-illiterate, he was having trouble with even typing out words. Resorting to the ‘hunt and peck’ method, he slowly typed in ‘application’ and moved the mouse to click on search… Unknowingly though, he was performing his search on the internet instead of the school’s archives. “C’mon…” Blinking as the paged refreshed, revealing several hundred-thousand search items, the specter nearly fell off his seat. “You gotta be kidding…”

It was a little past midnight, and although not everyone was asleep in Haven, he figured that most of the teachers would be in bed by now anyways. With the lights off and doors locked, he was almost positive his search would be unimpeded. Eventually giving up with the computer, he leaned back in the chair, his transparent form eerily lit up by the glowing screen before him. He wanted to try to register himself as a current student, but this was proving to be more difficult then he had previously thought…

Startled by the sudden chatter of the girl, Wraith accidently flipped his chair backwards, sending him rolling to the wall. "Wh-what..?" Blinking as he moved into a kneeling position, he squinted at the girl, just to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on him. As far as he knew, he was the only specter in Haven. "Um..." Backing away from the light of the computer so his transparency wouldn't be as obvious, he pretended to trip over a cable and fell behind a table for cover. "Ow..." Quickly forming ectoplasm, he shaped a 'doll' with it, making it look exactly like he already was. Wraith then possessed the object, and stood up, rubbing his head. Raising a brow at the girl, he blinked. "You know, I should be asking you the same thing..."

Her words came out faster then he could think, and he paused for a moment to make sure he knew what she had said. Chuckling nervously, he scratched the back of his head. "What? A ghost? There's no such thing as ghosts... But never mind that, what are you doing up so late at night?" Trying to play it cool, Wraith smiled at her, a little more relaxed now that he had a 'solid' form to inhabit. It felt more natural, anyways...

Couldn't sleep? Well, she couldn't be over 14, probably 13... That would explain her hyperness and all. Moving to a few switches on the wall, he flicked them all up, turning the lights in the office on. "Me? I was..." Trying to think of a logical answer, he glanced at the computer. "Making sure everything was working ok... I heard they had a new program or something being installed, so I was just double checking to see that it was working properly..." Watching her bounce on her heels, he smiled. "How'd you get in here, anyways?"

Raising a brow at her claim, he chuckled and shook his head. Maybe she was playing hide and seek with someone before he came into the office, who knew. Once more, he had to pause for a moment to double check in his mind to figure out what she had said. "For now, call me Wraith. Tasha, is it? Nice to meet you." Holding out his hand, he smiled a little. "Kind of perky, aren't you?"

Surprised by the sudden hug, Wraith blinked. "..." Watching her bob up and down, he smiled lightly and scratched the back of his head, his other hand resting on his hip. He was about to say something, but she was already making her way down the hall in her own unique fashion. "Um.. Talk to you later, then...?" Leaving the office, he closed the door behind him and sighed. Well, it wasn't a total waste of a night... He did make a new friend, after all. Staring down the hall where Tasha had ran off to, he chuckled and shook his head, smiling a little as he recalled her rather lively behavior. Allowing his ectoplasm to disintegrate, he decided that it was time for him as well, to be leaving this part of the campus.
