[color=darkgreen]"Jeez, I sorta hope so."[/color] Gale said distractedly, staring up at the crowd of owls. [color=darkgreen]"Feels like I've been lost for days up here."[/color]

In fact, he was kind of in a dire situation. He'd run out of food and washing his clothes in rivers would only do so much for the smell. Gale unconsciously checked his scent when he remembered that he was in the company of girls. Fortunately, he'd washed himself recently so all he smelled was dirt. It could've been better but it could've certainly been worse. Not by much, mind you. His hair was longer than he'd like (still rather short), his nails were too long and his clothes were worn and weary-looking. At least his teeth were alright though.
[color=darkgreen][i]It's been so long... Let's hope my social skills haven't gone rusty.[/i][/color]

[color=darkgreen][i]What the hell am I thinking? I don't have social skills.[/i][/color]

Gale was dragged out of his musings as a caterpillar dropped onto his shoulder. It twitched in midair before it landed on his shoulder, shuddering like it was in a bug zapper, seemingly paralysed.
[color=darkgreen]"Oops."[/color] Gale said, shrugging the bug off as best he could.
[color=darkgreen][i]I really need to learn how to turn that off.[/i][/color]
He'd thought it was pretty awesome when he'd figured it out but his electric aura thing was actually pretty detrimental for his life. Electronics went crazy if he touched it. Getting through airport security had been a nightmare, and worst of all, he was avoided by dogs and cats. That was one of the reasons that he was keen on going to Four Winds, the other being a secret (:P). The letter had said that he had a special power, and while that was true, it wasn't really helping him that much just yet.

Gale wondered if the caterpillar appreciated his intervention, but he doubted it. It looked about as disgruntled as a caterpillar could be. It fell to the stone path ungracefully but recovered and powered on, towards the girl he ran into ([@Baklava], for clarification). Gale was suddenly made aware of the multitude of bugs swarming around the girl's feet.
[color=darkgreen]"Oh Jeez."[/color] He said, squatting down to study the swarm. [color=darkgreen]"The bugs sure love you."[/color]

The girl did not seem pleased with their presence and he was wondering what was causing them to be attracted to her. She didn't smell particularly strange so it wasn't because they wanted food. He got up and looked at the other 2 people that were at the scene. The guy was in a tree for some reason and the other girl's hand was beginning to glow. Gale had initially assumed that the motley crew were just hikers or something, a group of friends climbing Mt Fuji. But now that he looked, they were all roughly the same age as him, though they were older. And they were being real weird. And one of them mentioned a school. So maybe...
[color=darkgreen]"Are you guys also going to 4 winds?"[/color] Gale concluded. [color=darkgreen]"Thank god, I was worried I was way too late. Though considering I started heading over here last year, I guess I am."[/color]

Gale got up and glanced over to the other girl he didn't bump into, who sported, oddly enough, an entire head of pink hair.
[color=darkgreen]"Hey, uh, pink hair lady?"[/color] Gale said, calling out to the girl ([@lydyn]). [color=darkgreen]"Your hand is glowing. Is it supposed to do that?"[/color]
