Welcome to Gaia! ::

Location: Rec Room of The Collective, at Serenity Valley

Open To: Any Female Koshi (of the non water dwelling variety)

Setting: Fresia, one of the residents of The Collective, sent out invitations to all the
female Koshi she could get the contact information for. It was a plain cream coloured
card with an pale pink embossed strawberry design in the bottom corner. It read simply:

Sleep over at my place.
Bring your pyjamas and gossip.

Their contact information and directions to the ranch were printed on the back. The party
is being held in their rec room, which is about as large as a small school gym and has
everything thing in it you could need for something like this. Pool and foosball tables,
a new top of the line entertainment system, and lots of comfy couches.

"C'mon! Hurry up, or we'll be late!" Atalante twisted her body around to glance back at the small group that she had managed to recruit to come to the party. It was difficult -- there weren't many Koshi's back at the manor that enjoyed outings like this, and even fewer when she took into account those that were too busy with their jobs. She was sure that Niele would have liked to come, if she hadn't been buried under all her paperwork.

Marici stopped to fidget with her sandals, slinging her night bag to one shoulder. "I would, hon, but I can't hurry much faster!" she laughed.

Blithe was rather quiet on the way down. She chose to speak up now, since they were nearing the front door to The Collective. "Any idea what is going on? I mean, I know it's a party, but were there any specifics on the invite?" Honestly, she wasn't sure why she had agreed to come along. Maybe it was the fact that Atalante had the ability to change a person's mind (well, she had pleaded, Blithe being the "new girl" and all), or maybe it was just because Blithe had been curious as well.

The pixie only smiled in response, slightly meek, to indicate that she didn't know, or didn't want Blithe to know. She was sure that the little that she did know of the event would only turn the beatnik elf away, and she wasn't about to let that happen! Especially since there was bound to be so much more to it than she knew.

Fluttering her wings, she hopped up onto the front stoop and knocked at the door excitedly. "We're here for the party!" she called.

Annaliese placed a hand on Blithe's shoulder, trying to reassure the newer Koshi. "It'll be fun; we're going to have a great time!"

(( I apologize in advance if my post is a little difficult to understand. sweatdrop ))

The group of four filed in, trying not to block the door from anyone else's entrance -- and a good thing, too, as at that moment was when a few realized that there were two others right behind them! Marici and Atalante wandered further in with the invitation, while Blithe and Annaliese stuck by the entrance, preferring to press up against the wall to let others pass by. Neither were completely comfortable about coming inside too quickly without first knowing a little more about the place by examination. However, they weren't about to block Aymee and Lilith from entering, and flashed a couple of smiles in greeting as they entered.

"You have a beautiful place here!" Marici gaped, letting the interior decorator in her get the best of her. She began wandering a little to look at some of the furnishings in more detail -- without touching them, of course.

Atalante pivoted on a heel to face Fresia, and so the newly-entered Kraehe could hear her. She extended a hand to Fresia, who was closest to her, and introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Atalante! That over there is Marici," she indicated with a slight fling of her head behind herself, "and those two that... aren't coming in... are Annaliese and Blithe."

Her brow furrowed a little as she twisted to get a better look at the two stragglers, though her hand was still held out in greeting. "Hey! You know, you guys can come in! We can't have a sleepover without being inside!" Standing still again, she shrugged to Fresia and smiled.

"We're not blocking your way, are we?" Annaliese asked Aymee and Lilith, placing a gentle hand on Blithe to maneuver her further inside. Even if they weren't blocking the way, Atalante was right: it wasn't very polite to stay here for too long. She grinned, "It's nice to meet you!"

Marici wandered back to where the rest of them were gathered with a questioning look on her face. "Did you guys need any help with anything?'

Blithe caught a glimpse of Lysander as he disappeared upstairs, overhearing the end of the conversation. Out of the blue, she mentioned on a passing thought, "Oh, if we had known there were other kids here, we probably could have brought Hina and Kye with us."
