Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyung Mi blushed and nodded when Aaron addressed her, replying with a wry grin. "Yet?" she inquired jokingly. Lupita snorted, overhearing Kyung Mi.
"Yet," Lupita echoed, flashing a grin over her shoulder.
Rain jumped, alarmed, as a cute redheaded girl rushed past him. He stumbled as she pushed through the other freshman, but luckily, the stair railing kept him from falling over. He turned bright red as the girl tripped on the first step, bits of clay flying everywhere. Rain darted up the stairs.
"A-are you okay?" He stammered, but before the girl could answer, Lupita grabbed the girl's arm and helped her to her feet.
"Natasha!" Lupita grabbed Natasha by the shoulders and dusted some clay from her uniform, a wide grin on her face. "Late again, I see. Don't worry, since freshman orientation is going on, the classes have been postponed a little. Late start, baby! So you're not as late as you'd think. But first period does start in..." Lupita pulled a cell phone from her bag and checked the time: "Six minutes."

So classes would be starting soon. Good. Hiko wanted to be done with this, Ayako wanted him calm. She did have to skip out of a clay-ridden girl's way, though.

((Not a clue what to say))

Lupita laughed. "'Cause you're covered in clay, girl!" She shook her head and picked a clump of clay from Natasha's hair. "I would suggest cleaning yourself up, but with class starting so soon..." Lupita clicked her tongue. She shrugged and continued brushing clay from Natasha's uniform. It's nice to see that crazy girl again, Lupita mused. She looked up and saw the other freshmen waiting around and remembered what she had been doing before. "Right, right. You go on, a'aight? I gotta get these kids some maps and get their dorm stuff squared away." Lupita shooed Natasha away and turned back to the freshmen. "Sorry, kids. Since we got started a little later than the other groups, we won't have time for the whole tour, but I have a bunch of maps in my bag that I'll give to y'all once we reach the dorms." With that, Lupita lead the students towards the dorm rooms. She looked behind her as she walked and smirked as she saw Kyung Mi gazing up at Aaron, Rain blushing and watching his feet as he walked. They're okay, Lupita thought to herself. I might actually hang out with these kids or something. She laughed out loud, not showing any ulterior reason. Despite her sociable nature, Lupita didn't have a huge gaggle of friends (though she did have a small collection of underdogs). She was kind of "no-man's land;" a "social butterfly", if you will. But the idea of settling to a group of friends was appealing. Two members of this Group No. 5 were a little strange, but overall, everyone seemed all right. Lupita hoped that Group No. 5 would last longer than just orientation. As she was brought back to reality from her reverie, Lupita turned again to her Group No. 5. "Okie dokie, folks, she began, clapping once for their attention. "Here we are! The dorms can be co-ed if you guys are comfortable with that, but if not, then go ahead and pick someone of the same gender. It's two to a room, and actually--" Lupita pulled out her school handbook and held it out to the students, pointing to a written passage that she paraphrased out loud-- "The upperclassmen also choose new dorms at the beginning of each year, so Aaron and I are also up for grabs as your roomies." Lupita shoved the handbook back into her bag and leaned against the wall, her arms crossed and a grin on her face.

The two glanced at each other and nodded. They already knew ahead of time that they would room together. Meant less time explaining why they did the things they did to idiots, like the camera girl, Ayako figured. Hiko was looking around, examining everyone. It was clear by the angle of his head that he was half-blind, since he had to look at a person out sideways to see them straight on. Still, a map? He wandered over to Lupita, Ko-chan following. "Map?" he asked softly.

((Bahahaha. Have fun with that))

Aaron smiled as Lupita continued brushing off Natasha, "I was just curious, your art always looks good. I was just messing around until Katelyn decided it was time to leave." he paused and blinked. He was pretty sure his younger sister had run up to him on campus a handful of times in the last school year so the two girls might have seen her before. He couldn't be certain but it wouldn't surprise him. The group was turned back to as Lupita told them about the late start and gave an awkward laugh. Being the other person in charge he was probably partially to blame for that and cleared his throat, "The map is plenty easy to read and if you have any problems, just go up and ask someone for a hand. A number of the upperclassman got lost when they were here their first year too and will be willing to help out. Of course if you see Lupita or I we'll be happy to help too." he turned around and followed Lupita with the group.

The walk was a quick one but it was nice as well. Aaron looked over as he heard quiet laughing to see Lupita looking back at the group. He quirked a smile, looks like she found her batch of people to hang around for the semester. He turned around to the group as they reached the dorms and let Lupita finish before nodding, "Yep, that's right, so if one of you guys want to crash with us for a whole year that's an option too. And despite what she says, Natasha is a great roommate too. Being messy is just a side effect of a lot of different art styles at this school. My roommate is going to have to not mind tarps spread out on the floor at times to keep paint from getting all over the place." he admitted. His last roommate had to learn fast about that too, but at least the place wasn't a disaster zone by the end. Aaron stuck his hands into his pockets, "And that's it ladies and gentlemen. Any last minute questions, comments, concerns, or otherwise?"


(XD I understand your excitement, I get the same way)

"Oh." Well, it looked like she was going to be stuck with a non-potter again... The main two she saw were the camera girl and Lupita. Great. Lupita probably would not mind, though she was almost certain that the one with the camera would have problems with the clay. She scanned the group again. Why did she have to run into a group that didn't have anyone with her skills? Sighing, she started to sing her favorite song.
