Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just go ahead and start!


Jean was skateboarding down the sidewalks as she looked around at everything in the slums. She hated living there. She wanted to be out in the big city, not deadbeat land. On every corner Jean noticed someone was either smoking, drinking, or making out. She absolutely went nuts upon seeing these. Jean skated faster and faster until she reached the outskirts of the city nearby, home of the most awesome skate park ever built. She hopped the fence and went right onto the half pipe. Her skills were better then even the guys there. She loved going around, faster and faster, higher and higher were her jumps. She eventually had donw all of her half pipe tricks and skated over to the bowl.

(( I could play as a guy since no one wants to join. If it would feel awkward, it's fine. ))

(( Would you mind if I joined?))

Rafael watched the cloudy skies with his emerald green eyes at the skate park. He often traveled there to watch the elebrate skating. He sat in the break zones with his black trench coat hanging over the bleachers, but not touching the concrete. He watched the poor boys falling, bruiseing... and bleeding. He held himself back as he watched them limping away to the small nurses shack. He could smell heroin, marajana, nicoteen, and alcohol in theie blood veins. He was dissappointed. Then his eyes fell upon one girl with mad skills with the board. He watched her with interest, waiting for her to slip and hit the pavment hard. But he waited in vein as she only progressed farther and farther through the obstacles with no trouble it seemed. He smirked after several minutes of watching, wondering who this girl was.

Rafael smiled and watched her. "He was drunk and high. he didn't know what he was doing, much less want to show off for the fans which appear to not be present." he said, grinning, showing his fangs, then quickly let his lips fall into a small smirk.

Rafael laughed, more of a chuckle and shook his head. "In a sence I am. I just like to see the skaters fall and hurt themselves. I saw you out there and you looked very good... skill wise." he stood gracefully and walked down the bleachers to get a better look at her.

Rafael gave her a dazzling smirk, baring one of his fangs, but quickly returned to his normal smile. He stopped just a yard away from her and sat down. "What's your name?" he asked.

Rafaels smile faded and he froze. He looked at her tooth. "That's not so bad. My name is Rafael. He said with a slight smile, but kept his teeth hidden from now on. His head shot up and looked over to one skater on the pipe. "One... two....three" he mumbled and on three, the skater fell and skidded his knees and elbows on the concrete, making this arms and pants bleeding. Rafael's mouth wattered and his mouth gapped open only a little, his eyes becoming suddenly lighter.

Rafael stared hungrily at the wound, then shook it off and ran with lightning and invisible speed to the Nruse tent. he walked up to the nurse and told her the situation, leading her to the boy. He stared at the wound with the sam hungry expression as before. his eyes clearly light enough to see in the dark even as the street lights came on. He tried to shake it off, bu the blood was torturing him.
