Soon the pair became a crowd as the DJ guy jumped in. He clearly remembered Carmen from the night before judging by his facial expressions, but Carmen couldn't tell if it was a good memory, bad memory or just a memory. In the chaos of the night before it could have been any of those. She raised one eyebrow - a characteristic reaction of hers - when the plant girl said her thoroughly undictatable name, but immediately went back to normal in relief when the girl said “but you can call me Garden". What a convenient name, all things considered, thought Carmen. Once Garden had asked the DJ about his boombox, Carmen turned to him and quickly said "I'm Carmen, by the way," responding to his observation earlier. She was kind of curious about his boombox as well, judging by its transformations at the party, so she hoped he'd answer in spite of her interjection. At some point I should find out his name as well, she thought. Can't just go around calling him "DJ guy" all the time, now can I?

Crash

Crash nodded in agreement to the first comment from Kathy, he closed one of his eyes pulling a face as she reached up and patted his head noting she was beginning to make a habit of either patting him or ruffling is hair...not that he minded...he grinned at the pat. He chewed his lip, searching his brain for something normal to say when he saw Zivon place a batch of animal shaped cookies out on the table, completely distracting him from his thoughts. Jesus, Zivon is like a master chef...or is he THE master chef... He moved over to the table, taking a cup he hovered there for a moment nodding his agreement at Kathy’s compliment of the tea after he’d taken a small mouthful. He was glad it was green tea, caffeine wasn’t a good thing to give him...

He waved a greeting at Dani as he arrived, though remained silent taking another sip from his tea as he listened to what Dani said about the student centre being fixed. It’s Athalia, so I completely believe something like that could happen He thought to himself, perching on the sofa with his cup in hand as he listened to the others chat. He swirled his tea around the cup slowly before taking another sip, it was really good tea...he glanced at Kathy as she finally settled onto the edge of the chair a slight smile tugging at his lips. He looked up as Oona joined them offering her a warm smile and a welcoming wave of his hand. He grimaced a little as he remembered he’d also abandoned Oona last night to the mercy of Kiwi, he looked over at her as she showed them a recovering burn on her arm, he stopped himself from mentioning a good ointment that would sooth the flaring redness and ease the discomfort. She would probably already know that... He tipped the last dregs of his tea into his mouth, quietly settling his cup down on the table when Kathy turned and spoke to him.

Crash tilted his head to the side as she mentioned questions, his lip twitched up at the sheepish look on her face as she pointed at her bandaged hand. His eyes roved over her hand for a moment, noting it had been redressed, not terribly he might add. He listened to Kathy quietly, figuring his quiet spell had run its course. “You can if you like you could use an antibiotic ointment like bacitracin or Neosporin or Savlon to help minimize infection, apply it to the gauze when you change the bandage over. You can wash the wound area with a little bit of warm water and soap just make sure you don’t get the wound really wet, You should change the dressing every 24 hours unless it bleeds or gets really dirty you’ve got to avoid getting the wound area dirty, minimize the risk of infection...those stitches can come out in a couple of days, I can do it if you like...avoid...you know” Crash explained in a small voice, sounding way more professional than he was though his voice dropped as he thought of Kiwi he even involuntarily shivered. “And if it gets itchy, don’t scratch it you’ll make worse” He finished with a small smile, looking at Oona as she spoke again.

“I’m good thank you, glad to see you are as well...minus the unfortunate burns” He automatically lifted his hand to the back of his neck grinning at Oona a little awkwardly. “If you’re not already, a good antiseptic cream will help clear those up quickly...just thought I’d mention” He murmured, smiling a little bashfully. I thought we decided to leave it? You’re not a doctor... Ha! Now there was an idea! Nurse...I fell on another numbing needle, please cancel my patients today I can’t feel my left butt cheek Crash suppressed a chuckle at his own thought wave it was wrong he could imagine himself pulling his leg along behind him as he tried to walk down a corridor...he cleared his throat, pointing at the tea on the table. “You should have some of this Oona, it’s really good” He changed the subject, looking intently at the tea pot.

Seven

“You’ve never tried sweets though? Wow, that’s a rarity. Then again, it’s not really a necessary part of survival I guess.” He nodded to what Leroy said; he couldn’t help to think about chocolate now since he had mentioned it. “It’s sweet, usually. Unless you get dark chocolate.” Leroy said, “It melts in your mouth and… Well, I think it’s quite tasty. I’m willing to bet they have something made of chocolate in the cafeteria, so it’ll be faster for you to just try it yourself.” He licked his lips with that description, it sounds like somewhat like raw fish for him, it melts in his mouth…quite interesting… “Just like raw fish! It just melts in my mouth and it sometimes sweet too.” He joked well it wasn’t a joke he made it sound more funny.” As they both made it to the cafeteria there were a lot people as Leroy said. It was probably dinnertime. He guessed.

“Far as I can tell, I don’t see any live birds here. You gonna pick something else to eat?” Seven laughed as Leroy mentioned about he live bird, he did want to eat one but he wanted to try chocolate. “Maybe, a raw chicken will do but I do want to try the chocolate, even it might kill me at least I might die of trying something new!”

Zivon

He smiled as everyone was having a conversation, he didn’t like it when everything gets too quiet even though he was used to being in a quite room all the time. He continue to hold the kettle of green tea incase anyone else wanted some, he forgot that he was getting thirsty too so he went back to the kitchenette. He poured himself some hot tea but as he was pouring it he began to think deeply. ‘Will they like the food? Did I did over top it much…I know I made a lot but will they…’ He forgot it was his first time ever to have people over to dinner. As his thought went to a deep state of questioning the cup was over full of the hot tea, he didn’t realized until he got back form his though.

“Shit!” He cursed as the tea was all over the counter, he tired to get a rag to clean it up but with out thinking properly he accidentally got burned from the tea. “Ow!...that hurt…” He tried to keep his voice in a low tone; he quickly cleaned up the mess quietly and as fast as possible. He covered his burned hand with the sweater as it was big enough to hide his hands.

– Kathy

Carefully listening to Crash’s advice on taking care of the wound, she quickly nodded when he offered to take the stitches out in a few days. “Please, that’d be great. I’ll be counting on you in a few days again then.” Feeling both relief and gratitude, she gave Crash a warm smile. Then hearing him say, ”And if it gets itchy, don’t scratch it you’ll make it worse.” She let out a small laugh. “I’ll be careful not to Dr. Waterfront.”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Smiling, she answered Oona’s question. Glancing at her bandaged hand she added, “The bandages almost exaggerate how big the cut is really. Sorry I didn’t realize you were burnt back there, we could’ve put something on it when we were in the infirmary…” ‘And while Kiwi was distracted by that other girl.’ Kathy thought. At this point, Kiwi was almost becoming a ‘she-who-must-not-be-named’ sort of being in their group.

Drinking up the last of her tea, she placed the empty cup back on the table as she listened to Crash give Oona some advice as well. ‘He really looks after people.’ Though not consciously aware of this, she was staring at Crash and noticed the random smile appear on his face after he was done talking. ‘Did I miss a joke?’ She wondered, tilting her head to the side. But seeing as no one else seemed to be laughing, she realized it was probably not something he said.

Hearing Zivon curse, she looked in his direction to see what happened. “Zivon, are you okay?” Asking the question more out of habit than anything else, she quickly got up and walked over to him, frowning when she saw that he seemed hurt. Ignoring the spilled tea for now, she gently took Zivon’s wrist and guided him to the sink. Turning on the water, she said, “Here. You should run the water over your skin for now.” ‘And… That’s about the extent of my knowledge for first-aid.’ She looked back at Crash and asked, “Is there anything else we should do?”

Dani
Dani watched the others, quietly sipping his tea. However, when Kathy called attention to her hand, his eyes widened.
She got stitches? What happened? It must of been serious to have to get stitches! he thought. He was about to ask if she was alright, when Oona beat him to it.
“Yeah, I’m fine. The bandages almost exaggerate how big the cut is really." Kathy told her, smiling. Dani gave a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he heard Zivon shout from the kitchenette. He jumped to his feet, but Kathy got there quicker.
“Zivon, are you okay? Here. You should run the water over your skin for now.” Kathy said, then turned to Crash. “Is there anything else we should do?”
"I heard it helps a lot to put honey on a burn." Dani pitched in helpfully.

Zivon

He had bit his lip from the pain of the burn but; luckily Kathy put his hand at the sink and turn on the faucet. “Here. You should run the water over your skin for now.” The pain became a bit numb and not noticeable as he put his hand at the running water. She had had Crash what to do with the burn on his hand, at the past he did lots of burns from doing work but he knew how to take care of it. Then Dani came by and suggested to put honey on his burn. Zivon titled his head wondering why honey he never tried honey before he always used ice then red bean paste. ‘Does it work?’ He looked at the burn and just sighed. “ I c-an tak-e care of th-is, don’t mi-nd it I will fi-x it la-ter.”

Oona smiled when Crash and Kathy said they were fine, Dani noticeably said nothing.
after suggesting some thing for Kathy to take care of her hand and then saying he was fine, and that it was nice she was, Crash said “If you’re not already, a good antiseptic cream will help clear those up quickly...just thought I’d mention” she hadn't actually thought of that.
"i'll try that, not sure where i'd get it though, my mom wasn't a fan of modern medicine, used lots of herbal remedies"

Zivon cursed, Kathy asked if he was alright before she could get the words out, she followed her over to him, nodding when she ran the cold water of his hand. Dani then mentioned Honey "that does actually work" she agreed.
Zivon then said “I c-an tak-e care of th-is, don’t mi-nd it I will fi-x it la-ter.”
"you're going to take care of it now Zivon" she said "and untreated burn can get bad, deal with it now, dinner can wait"

Crash

Crash grinned at Kathy as she gave him a warm smile, though confusion crossed his face as she called him Dr.Waterfront. “You know my second name?” He queried. “That puts me at quite a disadvantage as I don’t even know yours” He jested, with a cheeky smile. As he came out of his thoughts he noticed Kathy was watching him, looking around as if to see whether anyone else had found something amusing, this made heat rise in his cheeks at being caught out. He looked up at Oona as she spoke to him. “I can give you some, remind me later I’ll run down the hall and grab it” He offered with a smile. He jumped as Zivon cursed, getting to his feet he followed Kathy over to Zivon, concern apparent in his features. He watched Kathy grip Zivon’s wrist and guide him over to the sink.

He frowned as he peeked over Kathy’s shoulder to look at the extent of the burn on Zivon’s hand. “Keep it under the cold water for as long as possible” He mentioned, looking over at Dani as he offered insight. “Honey’s a good one or an antibiotic cream...” Crash shrugged, listening as Zivon stuttered that he could handle it later he frowned. Oona beat him to the crunch line though, telling Zivon he needed to do it now which Crash agreed with. Feeling like a third wheel he backed away from the situation leaving Zivon in Oona and Kathy’s capable hands. He moved away from the commotion standing near Dani. “Do you not drink tea?” Crash asked Dani uncertainly, he had noticed Dani hadn't helped himself to anything yet. It was by far the naffest conversation starter he had used but...he wasn't sure he really wanted to revisit the night before, he'd in fact rather erase the second half of it...and he wasn't sure what else to say.

Ryuu seemed to lunge out for Anedine like a predator catch its prey, though it looked like that simply because he was hasty. He made her fall. Duh.

The otaku gave a hand to the girl, saying as he helped her back up, "Sorry, I'm just having random spasms of energy rushes. Er, yeah. Yogurts give me energy rushes. Not lying at all."

The dark-haired student fully believed that his reasoning was absolutely justified, though he really should have said "strawberry milk" instead of "strawberry yogurt." Then again, he was about to say something completely different- something that would have left him dying out of embarrassment and humility.

Turning his direction from the thought now creeping into his head, the student asked Anedine, attempting to use a cheerful voice, "So, uh... I love katsudon! Mom used to make those until I transferred to this place. Mind if I have some as well?"

Ryuu did not have any second thoughts as he said this. After all, he tended to think once instead of thinking twice- it tended to make his words fit his aggressive personality, though he did not want to start getting physically aggressive any sooner. Punching people in an academy where people transform into... things... did not sound like a good idea.

---

Terotrax's grin grew wider, his eyes growing larger as well. He found the name "Garden" quite peculiar, and more than the fact that they were inside a garden, he found himself interested in how fitting it was to meet the girl here. She had manners, and a kind smile. That was honestly enough to tell that she was a nice person, though Terotrax himself knew that there could be more underneath anyone.

What caught him pleasantly offguard, however, was the sudden interest in his boombox. Even the trumpet girl, whose name was Carmen, seemed to be interested as well. Two people who understand music, even if not perfectly understood... it simply made him feel happier.

When was he not happy?

"Name's TEROTRAX, missus! Nathaniel 'Apollo' Terotrax!" The DJ said exuberantly. "And this boombox is a good friend of mine!"

The man lept off the ground, his boombox still within his hands. It then began to slightly transform again, returning back to its idle form.

He then let go of it extremely quickly before shoving his hands into the boombox, allowing it to transform again. Its parts shifted in-and-out, some of them flipping around before inserting themselves into certain sockets. A second was all it took for the musical device to turn into two mighty gauntlets that seemed to partially glow white-and-blue.

"This boombox is a mighty fine thing for lots of things! I use it to protect people as well, and I can record lots o' music with this~!"

Terotrax simply gave a toothy grin at this. Regardless of whether they would be surprised or not, he would remain happy with holding possession over one of his finest masterpieces.

Darwin's gleeful expression never dropped. "Well they are really pretty! But they can also stun people, give them hallucinations and make them laugh uncontrollably....." He said in his usual excited voice as he changed back to jhuman form.
"Ok! Let's get something to eat!"

– Kathy

Despite the problem at hand, Kathy couldn’t help but smile at everyone’s efforts to help Zivon. ‘Everyone here is so caring. I’m so glad I got to know them so early on in the year like this.’ In full agreement with Oona she chimed in, “Oona’s right. Injuries are best taken care of right away, not left to get worse. Besides, you’ve already gotten everything out for dinner. Take a break now, you deserve it.”

She nodded to show she heard Crash when he told her to keep Zivon’s hand under the water. However, the tea dripping down from the counter was beginning to bother her. She gave Zivon a stern look, but her voice was gentle as she told him, “Keep it there. You’re not allowed to start moving around again until the redness goes down.” Kathy then looked to Oona and gestured at the spilled tea. “I’ll trust you to keep an eye on him while I start cleaning that up.” Unsure of where everything was in Zivon’s place, she began to head towards the bathroom. She stopped briefly as she passed by Dani and Crash, overhearing Crash ask, “Do you not drink tea?” She hadn’t noticed until then, but when she glanced back at the coffee table she saw that he was right. Dani hadn’t touched the tea or cookies since his arrival. She moved on after deciding to leave the matter up to the two of them and return to her own task at hand.

Entering the bathroom, she took a few wads of toilet paper and after a bit of hesitation, she took a towel off its rack. ‘It’s just tea.’ She reasoned, ‘I don’t think green tea can cause any noticeable staining.’ Passing by Crash and Dani once more, she stopped again for a moment to continue a conversation from before. “By the way… It’s Katherine Argall.” Giving Crash a quick smile, she continued back to the kitchenette. Standing in front of the counter, Kathy used the tissue to create a sort of dam to keep any more tea from spilling down onto the floor. Holding the towel up so Zivon could see it she asked, “Would it be alright to use this to wipe everything up?” Just in case, she checked to make sure that Zivon didn’t mind her using the towel to soak up the tea.

– Leroy

“Raw fish that melts in your mouth? Cool, maybe I should get some recommendations for sushi from you.” Leroy returned the joke with a smile. He personally didn’t see much association between raw fish and chocolate, but he figured that for Seven it was probably a common ground formed from the fact he considered fish to be delicious and that chocolate was supposed to be delicious.

He burst into laughter when he heard Seven say, “Maybe a raw chicken will do but I do want to try the chocolate, even it might kill me at least I might die of trying something new!” Still laughing, he clapped the bakeneko on the shoulder and said, “That’s the spirit! You only live once, so why not right? I seriously think we’re gonna get along quite nicely Seven.” Then he added, “Why settle for one? Let’s try to get both.”

Going to the lunch lady serving stuffed chicken breasts in some sort of sauce he asked, “Hey, can I get one of these and a few raw chicken breasts?” The lady looked at Leroy and told him, “If you’re a normal human, you know you’ll get sick from that right?” Smiling, he pointed to Seven. “Don’t worry, it’s not for me. My friend here has a much stronger stomach. So, is that possible?” After a small nod, the lady withdrew into the kitchen for a moment and came back with a couple of raw chicken breasts on a plate. “Seriously, don’t do anything stupid. Food poisoning is a lot worse than you’d probably imagine it to be.” She warned them. “Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Giving the staff a quick wave of his hand, Leroy handed the plate over to Seven along with a tray. He accepted a plate of the actual cooked dish onto his own tray.

Then walking over to the dessert section, he beckoned Seven over and began pointing at the desserts. “Chocolate cakes, chocolate chip muffins, brownies, fudge… Basically all the stuff with dark brown either has chocolate or cocoa in it, the main ingredient of chocolate. Take your pick.”

Zivon

Soon nearly everyone was there, helping a bit on his burn. "You’re going to take care of it now Zivon and untreated burn can get bad, deal with it now, dinner can wait" Oona said, he didn’t really need to treat it now, the pain subsided and he could treat it by himself. “Uh, really I ca-n take c-are of it lat-er…this soun-ds weird but us-ually b-urns or cuts will be p-ainful and take a while to he-al but for me…the pa-in goes awa-y a bit qu-icker and after a da-y or so its g-one. I don’t kn-ow why but t-hat how i-t usua-lly is…” He explained to everyone, he never knew why but that how it is. “Oona’s right. Injuries are best taken care of right away, not left to get worse. Besides, you’ve already gotten everything out for dinner. Take a break now, you deserve it.” Kathy said as she gave him a stern look.

“ If yo-u insi-st then ok-ay…” He gave out a sigh of somewhat defeat yet relief. Kathy had told him to keep his hand at the water until the redness dies down; he just nodded as he looked at the counter with the spilled tea. Kathy said to Oona that she will clean it up, he flinched a little bit and he felt rude for letting her clean his mess. “I-” He stopped at the moment as he got a feeling that he will just be told to keep his hand at the sink. After a while Kathy came back with towel and tissues. “Would it be alright to use this to wipe everything up?” Kathy asked with holding the towel up to him. “Ye-.s..” He answered to her, he really didn’t want his new friends to do this for him, it made him feel really…really rude.

Seven

Seven was most defiantly enjoying his time with Leroy, he mention about recommendations of sushi. “Well actually it one of the tours we went to this amazing sea side port with the most delicious fish ever!” He said the Leroy with a big grin. Leroy clapped him on the shoulder and said, “That’s the spirit! You only live once, so why not right? I seriously think we’re gonna get along quite nicely Seven.” He nodded back to him; Seven did get a good feeling they will get along well. “Why settle for one? Let’s try to get both.” He watched Leroy walked towards a lady on the counter and asked for raw chicken breasts. Seven licked his lips…the chicken looked so good to him, he was nearly wanting jump in and eat everything on site. As Leroy came back with a plate of raw chicken breasts he just wanted too…

”Aaaahhhhhhh” His cat instinct were driving him crazy with the smell of chicken right near him. As he was handed over the tray he immediately grabbed one of the chicken breasts and started to eat it like crazy. “So hungry! So good!” He proclaimed really happily. Leroy beckoned to him to go over the dessert section he pointed at the brown things. “Chocolate cakes, chocolate chip muffins, brownies, fudge… Basically all the stuff with dark brown either has chocolate or cocoa in it, the main ingredient of chocolate. Take your pick.” Leroy said to him, Seven grabbed one of the chicken again and ate it whole. “There is a lot! I guess I will try…” Seven grabbed a couple of some cookies, brownies and cake. “Okay lets eat Leroy!”

Garden

She watched the guy with the weird box thing. "Name's TEROTRAX, missus! Nathaniel 'Apollo' Terotrax! And this boombox is a good friend of mine!" She looked at the thing called a boom box…she wondered why but she curtsied and politely said to every one. “Well nice to meet you Lady Carmen and Sir Terotrax.” Terotrax leapt off the ground and the boom box thing, it started to transform to weird things. It turned to a glove like things. She eyes winded with the wonder she had seen. "This boombox is a mighty fine thing for lots of things! I use it to protect people as well, and I can record lots o' music with this~!" It must a big possession to Terotrax. She clapped her hands with the enjoyment she had watched. “How wonderful, that surely is something.”

“He is surely loud…’
“Odd too…”
“He freaks me out!”
The flora said, she turned around looked at the flora that said that. She crouched down “You shouldn’t say those things, but I do have to say he is odd but seems really cool” She smiled at the flora. “Excuse me princess, should we continue with the music?” An oak tree asked She nodded with a yes. “Of course, continue with the music, it beautiful and fun!” as the music continue back she turned back to the two. “Excuse me but the flora here are playing wonderful music, would you like to dance?”

Oona smiled when Kathy said “Oona’s right. Injuries are best taken care of right away, not left to get worse. Besides, you’ve already gotten everything out for dinner. Take a break now, you deserve it.” she agreed but didn't feel the need to vocalize it, she felt almost honored to be around such nice people, her mind went to her brothers for a second, to all the horrid pranks they had played, then she shook her head lightly to shed the memories and then looked up at Kathy when she said “I’ll trust you to keep an eye on him while I start cleaning that up.” Oona nodded, "of course" and Kathy headed off she returned quickly with a towel and asked Zivon if she could use one of his towels to clean up the mess.

Anedine
It would seem that Ryuu was definitely the weirdest man Anedine had seen in her entire life. Still, weirdness is nothing to dislike about a person for the white-haired girl, unless it's to the point that he's directly physically hurting someone deliberately. Which she haven't seen Ryuu doing it yet, though.

"Sorry, I'm just having random spasms of energy rushes. Er, yeah. Yogurts give me energy rushes. Not lying at all."

"That's strange. Yogurt's your coffee?" She was beginning to be interested in how Ryuu physically worked. There was some sort of extra organ or metabolism in the works, but whatever. Yogurt was kind of bad-tasting for Anedine, but she always kept it to herself and let others believe she likes it.

"So, uh... I love katsudon! Mom used to make those until I transferred to this place. Mind if I have some as well?", said the boy she was best along with at this new school.

"Of course, you can. There's no limit at what you can ask for from me."

---

Dendus and Isse
"You fire those too quick, by the way." Dendus observed how Isse fired his shots: alternating his hands left and right quick and firing bright orange wisps against the wall, as quickly as a submachine gun. The plants in the way took three shots just to even burn a hole within the leaves. "Why not let one float in your hand longer before you throw those flares? Like, charging it with more firepower?"

"Wait, what?" Isse gave off a surprised yet a bit doubtful look at the formal man. "Isn't tha-"

"You'll never know unless you try for yourself. Aim at that pile of leaves, this time hold it for at least two seconds." He pointed to said pile, extending one tendril a bit.

"Alright." He took a deep breath, pointed his right hand at the target, then formed a more opaque-looking ball than what he had fired. Once two seconds has passed by, the projectile goes off, impacts the leaves and sends them flying off two meters away, but with still little marks of burns.

"Good. While it definitely has improved, all that's added is force and not fire. If you direct more energy within the same period, that'll do. It's tiring though, so that'll be later after..."

"After what?"

"After we do the sparring, which will be next. Sparring is the best way to keep you in shape and tone up your stamina, as well as give you the needed strength and agility for combat. I'm not exactly a training expert, but as far as i have heard of this is what they do in the military." Dendus charged towards Isse, preparing to knock him out. It was easily visible from the garden, but it looked like they were beginning to have a fistfight.

– Leroy

“Woah, you were really hungry weren’t you?” Leroy commented as Seven finished off one of the raw chicken breasts in record time. He had a feeling they were probably not going to take a lot of time to finish their meal at a table. He didn’t mind. If anything, it just meant they would be away from the crowded cafeteria sooner.

Watching Seven pick his desserts, Leroy also took a slice of chocolate cake. Picking up a fork and knife, he nodded when Seven said, “Okay, let’s eat Leroy!” Pointing to a free table, he walked over to it and placed his tray down on the surface. Pulling out one of the seats, he sat down and began to dig into his meal. “Mm, pretty good.” He commented, taking a bit of chicken. It was actually more than just ‘good’, but Leroy couldn’t really differentiate between more subtle textures like dry (slightly over-cooked) and perfectly done chicken in the first place so he couldn’t appreciate the chef’s culinary skills. Even though he could properly taste everything, the enjoyment of eating was dulled along with his perception of the texture and temperatures of his meals. “How’s the chocolate Seven?” Leroy asked between bites.

Matt - Dinner a la' Unicorn
When the duo arrived at the cafeteria, Matt looked around. It was quite crowded, even though the fact that it was supper time gave a logical reason for that. Matt slipped into the line and piled various foods onto his tray. He then looked around again, looking for a table without any people using it. There weren't any. The least full table was one with two boys, one looking almost as odd as Darwin. He walked over to them.
"Mind if we sit here?" he asked.

Dani - The Life of a Ghost is a Lonely One
“Do you not drink tea?” Crash asked in hopes of starting a conversation. Dani looked at the table, then over to Crash.
"Uh, well..." he frowned. He glanced at Zivon, then quietly whispered something into Crash's ear.
"I don't actually... eat... I didn't want to let Zivon know because he worked so hard to make this dinner for me."

Crash

Crash grinned as Zivon was thoroughly fussed over by both of the girls, he glanced at Kathy as she passed him and Dani before returning his gaze to Dani as he thought he heard the other guy answer his question. He was distracted once more as Kathy passed them on her way back to the kitchenette; his gaze seemed to shift to her quite often when she was close by...he shook his head dislodging that thought trail. He looked at her questioningly as she stopped for a moment turning to him and telling him her full name before giving him a quick smile, he felt his mouth curve up into a grin in response as she turned back to the kitchenette. He actually jumped as Dani’s voice suddenly filtered into his ear, recovering quickly he listened to what Dani said with a slight frown on his face.

He waited for Dani to draw back away from him before he turned to face Dani lowering his voice so only the purple haired guy could hear him. “Ok...but don’t you think it’s better to tell him now? Otherwise what are you going to do when he serves it all up and you don’t eat it?” Crash pointed out, frowning at Dani. Why doesn’t he eat though? Crash hadn’t asked the question on his mind he wasn’t willing to engage in another awkward conversation today. His eyes drifted from Dani to rest on his other three friends in the kitchenette, he wanted to offer his help... “Maybe I should help out” He grinned at Dani leaving the other guy to think on his words. He first moved over to Oona though she seemed to have everything under control with Zivon, so he could only move over to Kathy seeing her asking Zivon permission to use a towel he figured he could help out by clearing the worktop of tea...What’s the worst that could happen? He thought, determined to prove he could be helpful in these kinds of situations, he got more tissue and carefully soaked up the spilled tea so there was less of a river for the tissue dam to hold back, he was being careful of the slippery liquid on the floor as well that would cause problems if he wasn’t cautious...By the time Kathy had permission to use the towel Crash had cleared the work top of all traces of green tea, everywhere except from under the tea pot itself. He grinned to himself, happy in his own success as he lifted the pot carefully wiping underneath it. Success! Proof I can be more than a hindrance He thought to himself, though he noticed he was in Kathy’s way and took a hasty step back..........

..................Right into the puddle of tea, his foot instantly lost its grip and his stomach all put somersaulted as he threw the teapot into the air crashing back onto the floor with a small splash as he landed in the puddle of tea. With the precious teapot suspended in mid air Crash had but a moment to react or he was about to become a most unwelcome visitor, without registering he’d landed in a puddle of tea he lifted a foot pushing himself off of the side the tea gave him a substantial boost as he slid back across the kitchen tiles hitting the carpet he jolted back arms up the teapot landed firmly in his palms though it was upside down so as it hit its palms the small remainder of green tea surged out of the top of the teapot and doused Crash’s head a few drops hitting the carpet. Crash felt his cheeks burn fiercely as he lowered the teapot looking at the small trail of tea he’d left in his wake, he was pretty sure his jeans had absorbed most of the puddle though... He daren’t lift his head for a moment keeping his gaze downcast, he was actually pretty sure he’d never felt so embarrassed in his life...and that was saying something! “I-I’m so s-sorry!” Crash stammered, still holding the now empty but unharmed teapot sheepishly in his hands.

Little Feather

Little Feather looked a little taken aback at the creepy grin that crossed Liam’s face, as she listened to her. “People will probably keep arriving randomly throughout the year...” She offered, blinking in surprise as her hand was seized and she was practically dragged along behind Liam. Hearing her speak she queried what she was about to be subjected to...probably lots of things she didn’t understand like that Anime word. Lion trotted behind them, his tail swinging as he stuck close by Little Feather. Little Feather ground to a halt as Liam pulled her through a door into her room before releasing her hand, Lion butted his head underneath her hand as he squirmed his way into the room before Liam closed the door. Little Feather gripped the can given to her, looking at it with a raised eyebrow. “Hey Liam what’s this?” She asked, holding the can up. She really needed to get to know this world better, all her time as a spirit guide...she’d never really paid attention to all the small things this world had to offer. Yet again she had rarely stepped into this world before now...She watched as Liam laid some clothes out in front of her. She looked at them somewhat cautiously, unsure what she was looking at as she crouched down to get a better look. Her ears pricking at the sound of the music as Liam put it on. “That’s interesting...what music is that?” She asked. Lion sniffed the can in Little Feathers hand tentatively before lowering his nose to the clothes on the floor. Really? You're going to try this? Lion grumbled at Little Feather, raising the ridge above his eye in a questioning manner.

Zivon

As his hand started to feel much better but then he heard a surprising sound behind him he then he turned to see Crash with some tea on his head and holding the teapot upside down. Zivon immediately reacted as his friend was on the carpet, he ran up to him. he got a feeling that he might be told to stay but in instincts he had too, “I-I’m so s-sorry!” Crash stammered out, his head was lowered the entire time. Zivon just grabbed some of the excess tissue and gave to Crash.

"He-re, don't worr-y abou-t it." Zivon gave a reassuring smile to show him no harm was done. He grabbed the tea pot from Crash hand and put in on the counter. "The-re are so-me extra towe-ls in the ba-throom, you can us-e it." Zivon rubbed the burn on his hand, the pain was getting really numb and pretty faint. He had notice the small puddle of green tea was sort of absorb by Crash pants. "That goi-ng to be uncom-fortable..."

Seven

As they both sat down on a free table, Seven ate some raw chicken as Leroy ate some cooked chicken.After a while two guys asked if they could at the table, Seven gave them a nod. "Sure! The more the merrier!" He replied to them. As they ere enjoying the meal Leroy had asked about the chocolate stuff he had got from the dessert area. He grabbed a cookie, he sniffed it first and lick the tip part carefully. Seven then took a big bite out of the treat, first it was nothing then a mastery of taste came through his mouth. "SO YUMMY!" He announced as he grabbed another chocolate treat and began to munch on it. "It so sweet~" He smiled happily with glee.

After early eating all the sweet treats on the tray he had gotten a weird feeling..."uuhh..." He grasped his stomach,something made him feel weird and unnatural. "Is chocolate supp-" Before even finishing his sentence he dropped down on the floor as immediately changed back to his true form. He squirmed around where he fell as the clothes he had were still clinging on him. "Uurrmmmm.....aaahhh..." He moaned as he lay on the floor, slightly feeling sick.

– Kathy

In a sense, the event was almost comical and rather amazing. From his slip on the puddle to accidentally dumping the rest of the tea onto his head, Crash’s accident seemed more like something one would expect to see in a cartoon rather than in front of their very eyes. Likely due to the surreal nature of it all, she wasn’t even able to react to any of it until Crash apologized. Looking around she thought, ‘If they didn’t know yet, I think everyone just learned how Crash got his nickname…’

Snapping out of it, Kathy walked over to Crash and knelt down beside him. “You alright?” Although she did feel concerned, she felt a smile tugging at her lips as she looked into his face. His hair was completely soaked and sticking to his face and the sheepish expression he had was just the icing on the cake. ‘Oh dear. I feel horrible for thinking it was actually pretty funny. Why is it funny to watch people getting embarrassed anyway?’ With a slight cough, she attempted to hide the smile as Zivon handed Crash some of the tissue.

Taking the towel still in her hands, she draped it over Crash’s head, subtly covering his face without making it seem too obvious. Mostly because she knew she personally felt a little better if she covered her face when she was embarrassed, but a smaller reason was because she didn’t want Crash to see that she was smiling. “Good thing I didn’t get a chance to use this yet.” Using both her hands (although being much gentler with the one covered in bandages), she began to ruffle his hair with the towel, helping to dry his hair. “Nice save with the teapot by the way.” When she felt that his hair was probably dry enough, she slid the towel off and gently dabbed his face. She found that she was avoiding looking into his eyes. ‘Huh..?’ For some reason, she was beginning to feel a little embarrassed herself. Then Zivon looked at Crash’s pants and commented, "That goi-ng to be uncom-fortable..."

“Um… Yeah. I think you’re hair’s dry enough but you’ll probably want to get changed.” Getting up a little too quickly, she hid the slight blush on her face with her injured hand and offered the good one to Crash. “Here, I’ll help you up.”

Crash

Crash glanced at Kathy as knelt down next to him, a slight sheepish smile sliding onto his face. He raised an eyebrow at the smile that tugged at her mouth opening his mouth to say something when Zivon offered him some tissues; he took them gratefully. He turned to Kathy as she coughed and put a tissue to her mouth, he was still holding the damn teapot. He was somewhat relieved as Zivon told him not to worry about it and took the teapot from him, he didn’t take his advice but he lifted his head. “Thanks...teapots ok” He murmured lifting the tissue to his face dabbing at it until a towel dropped over his head, he held his hands out in a quizzical gesture, feeling his stomach twist with further embarrassment, though at no point did he remove the towel from his face secretly grateful for its cover, he reached up to start drying his hair, pulling his hands back as his fingers brushed Kathy’s. “Kathy...” He murmured, he felt the blood rush faster to his face as she leant over him and begun to rub his hair dry with the towel. I’ve really got to be more careful... A smile flickered across his face as she complimented his teapot save. “Hmm thank you, I’ll forgive you for laughing at me for that...though I’m just glad everything’s still in one piece” Crash commented, just as she pulled the towel off of his head, his hair springing back up in its scruffy natural way.

Crash’s face flushed further as Kathy dabbed at the rest of the moisture on his face, it took him a moment to realize A) She was in close proximity to him and B) He was staring again! Crash hastily looked away and blinked up at Zivon, listening to what he’d said before looking down at his jeans with a grimace. “Umm, yeah you’re probably right. Glad I was useful for something” He jested, looking up just as Kathy practically pinged to her feet. “Thank you” He murmured, smiling in appreciation before reaching up and running his fingers along her palm as he went to accept her offered hand, already lifting himself upright he barely even used her for support. “Wow,That is surprisingly cold...” Crash spoke before he could stop himself, wriggling his lower half a little as he stood up. “I’m really sorry about this Zivon” He apologized, moving his arm as if he was going to lift his hand to the back of his neck when he realized he was still gripping Kathy’s hand. Oh yes...because this situation wasn’t awkward enough He released her from his grip as he cleared his throat. “Thanks for sorting me out” He decided on saying. “I’m just going to quickly change, if that’s ok? I’ll be quick as the flash” Crash turned to Zivon, there was a huge dark patch on the backside of his jeans which wouldn’t make one think he’d sat in tea, he pulled his shirt forward trying to look down at the damage done to his jeans before he rubbed the back of his neck and made his excuses moving over to the door a little awkwardly as he found his trousers surprisingly...uncomfortable. He pulled Zivon’s door open, sliding out into the hallway, before he’d even closed the door, he’d slammed a palm to his forehead. Yeah.........really outdid myself that time It was quite unlike him to be so bothered by these kinds of events, considering they were the norm for him...
