Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pyper was more than happy to oblige when she was asked about the game! It was one of the few she knew lots about!

Ivan on the other hand wanted to say something. Games were his favorite! But his shyness was getting in the way. So he mostly let his sister explain, throwing in a comment here and there and nodding along.

Pyper explained how Mario was the hero and always had to save the princess from the evil villian Bowser! And Luigi was...the loveable brother sidekick who showed up on occasion.

Ivan wanted to facepalm. She could have at least made Luigi sound a little cooler. He turned slightly when a bunny-masked person walked near the table with a tray of food. Being a fox, the smell hit his nose and he could tell right away what kind of brownies they were. He mentally sighed. This party was probably going to get…….weird.

“Uhhh sis, maybe we should go h-”

“Oh come ooon, this dance will be fun!” she gently pulled him closer to her so she could introduce him to Melek and Yelena. This is my brother! His name is Ivan. He’s kinda shy,” she chuckled.

Ivan immediately turned red.

“And I’m Pyper, his sister. We’re twins~” She held out a hand for the others to shake if they wanted.

Ivan mumbled an awkward ‘hello’ before pulling his hat over his face.

An empty packet is now laying on the floor under the candy table where the punch is it must have fallen from the punch spikers pocket.... It's got traces in it and if anyone noticed it or even cared to inspect it might find remains of what looks like... Squished mushrooms?

Kappa jumped back as one of Sun's fingers poked into her bubble, by jumped back I guess that would look like she swam backwards to the edge of her water bubble and her tail flashed out, woah, she got a bit of a shock as no one had tried touching her bubble before, instinctively she went to n** at his finger but it was gone before she could, but where his finger had been the water was suddenly warmer then before. *Hey! Not cool!* She yelled after him, even though he couldn't hear her as she retreated to the lower side of the water bubble. The warmth slowly seeped down through the water, at least slightly cooling as it went.

Dagiel noticed Sun walk past with brownies, "Ohhhh! Yum, brownies are so good, hey Hiram, before we go join in on the limbo they are setting up, want a brownie?" He asked giving the kid a nudge and pointing to the tray that was standing higher then everything else. Odd, but cool.

Kappa noticed Sun on his way back, she took a deep breath and squirted a small spout of water in his direction then tried to dart behind Dagiel.

Rise smiled slightly then his smile brighten as he took the candy to drop it into the bag before her words actually registered. A flush colored his cheeks because she was right, at least if he put it near a warm source...well a source warmer than him. "Um... not all of them. I can clean off the lint off the others" he muttered, not wanting to admit that he was completely wrong and he didn't want to return the candy either because he wouldn't be able to get any later..it wasn't as if Rachel and Ciro ate candy.

The blindfolded meta looked up toward the candy table and just frowned, moving away from it.

Sun watched Mara take both when a squirt of water hit the back of his head. "Heyyy!" he turned to look sharply even as the water was already evaporating.

Mara was laughing as she took them and glanced back him. "Someone hates your costume as much as I do"

Sun kept looking then turned back and stuck his tongue out at her. "Bleeh. " he rubbed the point but it was barely even damp now.

She took a bit out of the brownie and blinked, chewing it and slowly holding away. Oh yeeaa... she knew what that was. Damn ..here with kids? where was the b*****d headmaster? should see tell him? or see him get in trouble? It wasn't as if she was called for this ... hmmmm

Taking a sip of the drink she saved the brownie for later. Drink was weird but considering most of the food looked weird she didn't think much of it.

Sun took a sip of the drink and made a slight face, this was weird. He looked at Mara but she was drinking it fine, maybe it was him? He started eating the brownie instead, something tasted familiar.. something he had smelled before huh.

Hiram smiled. He thought having someone to talk to all the time would be fabulous. It wasn't just that, but someone with an opinion contrary to your on wasn't all bad. But maybe he had misunderstood. His ears perked when Dagiel said it looked like they were setting up for something. "Let's go over and see what they're doing!" Maybe they could help with set up.

Dag dragged him along and asked him if he wanted a brownie. "Sure. They look good." He took one and got some water to wash it down with. Punch didn't seem like it would taste very good with them. "They are good! There's something in them that makes them taste funny though. Maybe I'll have two... "

Yelena sensed that Pyper's explanation was less than complete. Or maybe askew. Either way, Ivan seemed to want to add or argue. But he remained silent. He was definitely more introverted. How to make him more comfortable? "Ihh Rah-ray-naa--"

"Melek. And she's Yelena." The fallen in cupid's clothing pointed to the horse.

"Rrr hr-ennz."

Both girls shook hands with the twins, Yelena's was on the delicate side, Melek's was rather firm, almost aggressive. A garbled string of unintelligible words came from the horse.

Melek-Cupid shrugged. "We don't really know anyone. It would be nice if we could be friends." Melek was getting good at translating Yelena's poorly delivered enunciation through the rubber horse head.

A strange man in warrior's garb approached the table. Melek sized him up before he took off with a muffin. He looked strong.

Without being able to see the boy's face, it took Nel an excruciatingly long moment to realize that she'd made him uncomfortable. She clutched her bag tighter, anxiously wringing the straps as she blushed. She willed herself to say something to fix the situation, but nothing came to mind, and seconds passed as she stared at the floor, willing it to open up and swallow her whole.

Nel's ears perked up under her hood when he asked for her name; there was something she could say! "I'm Nel," she paused for a beat before remembering her manners, "nice to meet you." She was immediately out of things to say again, but at least this time she hadn't embarrassed anyone.

Dagiel smiled at the kid, he liked this making friends thing that Kat had encouraged him to do, he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. "Let go." He said and headed over to the Limbo line that was starting up behind the pole. Kids and adults were laughing as they tried to make it under the bar without touching it. "Do you wanna go first?" He asked Hiram, manners were always a good thing.
