Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting:
The Victorian era, in a rich, highly refined community, where women dress in the finest dresses, and gentlemen are dapper and eloquent.

Plot:
Society seems to be wonderful for everyone in this lovely town. Business is booming overseas, and everyone looks their best as they gossip about the latest scandal over fresh tea. However, everything is not perfect in this town. Though the rich are enjoying their lives, the poor suffer under the weight of their woes. Not only this, but there is corruption and malice within the richest households as well. Being wealthy means doing everything to keep it that way. Everyone tries their best to be dignified and upright...not matter how many people they need to squash to keep themselves at their finest.

Background: He had an older sister 7 years his senior who would take care of him after a tragic car accident when he was 9 which killed his mother instantly and his father slowly from punctured lungs. To cope with the fact that he would never see them again, he cut his emotions off, and realised that it made him feel better. He even comforted his sister when she got emotional. His father figure was her old boyfriend, who eased him out of his shell, and taught him that life can be laughed at. Whilst not fully convinced to see his view, Fletch felt a lot better, and managed to seem aloof, but aware of life instead of living away from it.

She was put on medicine for a while when she asserted her dominance repeatedly, but to no effect.
Personality: Assertive, sometimes aggressive, dominant, likes things to go her way, likes to be the leader, sometimes gets annoyed with Fletch.

Minzhe and Aleksander were completely silent on the trip to the Euclid household, Aleksander making the only really noticeable movement as he tapped his cane against his leg slowly. They each looked up at locked gazes for a moment as the carriage pulled to a stop.

Aleksander was the first to step down onto the sidewalk, offering his hand to assist Minzhe from the carriage, an insulting action usually only preformed for a woman.

Minzhe took the hand without a crack in his icy mask and set silk slippers to the sidewalk before taking his hand back and folding it and its' partner into the opposite sleeve. "Shall the dance begin again?" he asked softly, black eyes gleaming like steel, even as they focused on the ground beneath his feet.

"A waltz, perhaps?" was Aleksander's reply as they moved toward the door.

Adair stopped in the hallways when he noticed his mother near the door. "Mother, is there a problem?" he asked.

"The guests are here, and I haven't had the proper time to prepare! Would you please get the tea in the sitting room while I freshen up? Oh, but greet the guests first." she said in a hurry, panicked and somewhat dishevelled.

Adair smiled at his mother, and gently put his hand to her shoulder. "That is not an issue. I can easily do that. Go quickly though. I'm sure father and Kasen won't be pleased if you make them wait." he suggested. He was somehow certain she'd forgotten on purpose.

"Darling, you know I don't like it when you refer to your brother by his name. He's your family. You must always call him your brother." the woman scolded him while she clipped her hair back and smoothed the sides.

"Oh yes... I'd forgotten." he nodded. "I will greet the guests, and then get the tea. Stop worrying yourself. You're going to get permanent wrinkles all over your face." with that, he walked to the door, chuckling lightly when he heard his mother gasp at his last comment. Once he'd arrived, he clasped the doorknob, and turned it, face to face with their guests. "Good afternoon gentlemen." he greeted. He wondered if they'd even had a chance to knock.

Another cart pulled up to the Euclid residence, where inside, two more guests were to enter the house. The servant opened the door for them as the exited from their rickety ride.

The first to leave the cart was young Fletcher, known to the few familiars as Fletch. He adjusted his top hat and dusted his suit. He appeared to be slightly nervous, about the most he could appear to be at the moment. He held his gloved hand out and looked inside the cart, ready for the second person to make her entrance known.

The fair Chole took Fletch's hand as she made her exit, fan in the other hand, fanning herself down. She took a glare to the driver and frowned. "Next time, make sure we get to the venue in one piece! I could've sworn I would've created an awful bruise. If this happens again, you will be fired, just as long as Sadie doesn't convince me otherwise," she ranted, picking her dress as she stepped down onto the ground, still holding Fletch's hand and fanning her face.

Fletch sighed, mildly annoyed with Chole's stubbornness. He watched as she tried to calm herself down and appear more presentable. "It's alright, just try again next time," he whispered to the driver as he lead Chole in.

The two of them wandered up, Chole trying to let go of Fletch's hand. She knew that it was chivalrous to appear that he was helping her, but she wished for some form of dominance.
Up ahead, Fletch noticed Adair, almost as if he was waiting for them. But this may not have been the host, so he was wary. He wished to bow though, just wanting to be polite.
Though he was jolted by a light whack of Chole's fan on his head. "Please don't do anything silly. I shall not have you ruining my reputation because I can't control you," she whispered harshly at him.
Fletch fought the urge to argue back, saying that it was unethical for her to lead him, and that it may be damaging to his masculinity if such a thing were to go, mainly for her sake, and the fact that someone was there, and if they saw them bickering like school children, it would only hurt them further.

"My father and Kasen will be there to greet you until the tea arrives." Adair let them know. He eyed the newcomers, also unfamiliar to him. When they approached, he let a smile come to his face again. "Good afternoon." he said to them. "Is anything the matter?" he questioned.

Aleksander said no more and meandered down the hall toward the waiting room, Minzhe a silent shadow on his heels. "A nice boy, don't you think Comrade Minzhe?" he said with a smirk when no one else could hear.

"Kindly do not bastardize my language, Comrade Aleksander." Minzhe said coldly while Aleksander laughed.

Aleksander still had a faint smirk on his face as they emerged into the waiting room. "Lord Euclid, not too early for the party I hope?" he said to announce their presence.
