Maddy hesitated before speaking. "I'm Maddy, I'm eleven and I knew a talking dog." SHe looked please with this, and turned to her twin brother. "I'm Gale, and 11 and Maddy is my twin," he said in a quiet voice, tainted by apparent boredom. He didn't bother looking at who was beside him, instead looking at the floor.

It was Miaski's turn next. "My name it Misaki, I'm 7, and I was named after my Mama's friend!" She said excitedly, words coming fast. Kanna took over. "I'm Kanna, I'm 9 years old, and I've ridden a Blue Lion when I was younger!" She grinned, remembering the experience. The group gazed expectantly at Yuumi. The little boy seemed confused for a moment, then Setsuko pitched in to help. "What's you're name?" "Yuumi," He answered. "How old are you?" "Thwee," "What is special about you?" "I have the bestest big bwother evow!" He spoke the last part enthusiastically, holding his arms open in Sumi's direction. Sumi himself looked a bit surprised by his brother's answer. His gray eyes widened as Kya turned to glance at him with amusement painted on her expression. In fact, almost everyone in Setsuko's family had turned to glance in Sumi's reaction. The older boy began to blush and pulled his head self-consciously into his shirt, avoiding the room's gazes. At last, it was the next person's turn...the last little winged child.

"I'm Tess, and I'm seven," she announced happily. "My grandma helped save the world." Her siblings looked at her strangely. It was true, of course, but it sounded strange, announcing it to the others.

"Oooh!" Exclaimed Misaki at Tess's comment. "Mine did too!" She was right, Setsuko reflected. Her parents...Misaki's grandparents...had indeed helped save the world.

"Really?" Tess asked, amazed that someone else could have grandparents that helped to save the world. "Cool!" she said, a grin breaking out on her young face.

"Yeah, really!" Misaki confirmed. Setsuko wondered if she'd say more, but she didn't. There was a slight pause in the flow of conversation. Then Kya spoke up. "Are you gonna introduce yourself, Mother? And Li?" Setsuko shrugged. "Might as well. My name is Setsuko, I'm 34 years old, and I have a wonderful family," She smiled warmly at her children as she spoke. "And this is Li," She continued, gazing at her youngest son. "He's six months old and he is a bender," Li smiled up at Setsuko, babbling softly in baby-talk. Setsuko glanced at Rue, nodding slightly. "Your turn."

"I'm Rue, and I'm 35," she hesitated, uncertain of what to say. "And I met Setauko eleven years ago." It wasn't anything special, but it was something to say.

Setsuko thought a moment. "Twenty-one," She corrected. "We met twenty-one years ago."

"Oh, yeah, right," Rue said, mentally smacking herself on the forehead. Never good at math, she often left numbers out of equations, reulting in numbers far off from the actual answer.

Setsuko shrugged it off. "Ok then, now let's get to the game part of this," She said. "We'll all take turns, and when it's your turn, you have to say the name of someone you want to get to know better. Then you get to become a team. At your next turn, you both have to pick one person who doesn't have a team. Once we have two teams, I'll explain the next part."

"Alright, who wants to go first?" Rue asked. No one spoke, although Tess did look a little excited.


Ooc;// Sorry, I have writer's block....

Setsuko noticed the anxiety in the girl's eyes. "Tess, do you want to go first?" She offered.

Tess nodded, grey-blue eyes happy. "I pick Misaki," she said, after a moment's thought.

Misaki leaped up excitedly, bouncing over to Tess. "Can I go next?" Kanna volunteered. Setsuko nodded. "Can I pick Maddy?" Kanna smiled in the winged girl's direction.

Maddy smiled back, nodding. She scooted closer to Kanna happily.
