Welcome to Gaia! ::

Walking into this little area in the island of Meepsha, you are very interested to find a little building. Carefully opening the door, everything seems cozy and warm. Sitting in a chair in the far corner is a woman with long black-brown hair.

"Welcome, my dear!" She calls to you in a welcoming voice. "I see that you have come across Meepsha's one and only Miika Shelter. Come in and have a seat while I get a cup of cocoa ready for you."

You carefully sit on the chair by the building's fireplace, across from the young woman's chair. You can hear some sort of muffled noise coming from the hallway on the opposite side of the room. The young woman brings over a hot cup of cocoa for you.

"Oh, and I am Samantha, but you can call me Sam." She smiles at you. "Now, are you interested in adopting one of our very own Miikas?"

F.A.Q.

• How do I get a Miika?
  •You can adopt a Miika through a few different ways: Purchasing through a flatsale, raffle, or auction, be given a Miika as a gift when someone else buys a Miika, or taking a custom slot for the month.
  
  
• How do you do a flatsale/What is a flatsale?
  •A flatsale is where you have a few different types of Miikas set out for display. They all have set prices, and you can decide on what one you want. When "Flatsale Open" is posted, you are allowed to post your flatsale form. Everything for a flatsale is first-come, first-serve.
  
  
• How do you do an auction/What is an auction?
  •An auction usually do not happen as much as flatsales do, but usually have much more special Miikas available. Sometimes these also come with special housing that you cannot get any other time here in Meepsha. Auctions have a starting date, end date, starting bid, etc. The person with the highest bid by the time the end date has come wins the Miika.
  
  
• How do you do a raffle/What is a raffle?
  •A raffle usually happens around the time we have auctions. X amount of tickets are sold to X amount of participants. Each ticket has a number, and when the end date comes, or when all the tickets are sold, a random number is generated. The person with the winning ticket gets the Miika that was up for the raffle.
  
  
• What type of Miika will I get when I breed two Miikas?
  •This depends on what type of Miikas you breed. If you breed a rare Miika and an uncommon Miika, you will probably get at least one rare and one uncommon. The colors are usually a mix of both parents too. You never really know what might happen!
  
  
• What is a stand-in?
  •A stand-in is someone, most likely a friend, who will buy a pet for you. This works for all ways you can adopt a Miika and also works for breeding slots. However, only one stand-in is allowed per person!
  
  
• Are customs available?
  •Yes! Customs are open 5 times a month. Just check the "customs" post for more information.
  
  
• Do you accept pet trades?
  •I always love pet trades! I really enjoy pixel pets, but I love any type of pets! Just message me and we can discuss what we can do!
  
  
• Where can I role-play?
  •Role-playing can happen here, in the adoption site. We will have the guild up soon, which will contain many more things for you to do with your Miika.
  
  
• Um... You made a little mistake in my order. Is it fixable?
  •I am so sorry if this happens! I am happy to fix anything that is wrong in your order for absolutely no charge!
  
  
• Do I send the trade to you?
  •Yes, please send all trades to me!
  
  
• I have another question that is not answered!
  •Don't be afraid to message me! I'll answer any questions that you have!
  

In order left-right, top-bottom: Egg, Child, Bear, Cat, Frog, Dog, Mouse, Bunny.

Miikas come in three stages: The egg, child, and adult.

Egg: Eggs are our special little way of making sure your Miika stays nice and warm while it grows. Eggs are very vulnerable, but their hard shell exterior helps guard them. These cannot roleplay, and don't need much attention. Lasts about 1-2 weeks.

Child: Soon afterwards, your little Miika becomes curious of the outside world and hatches. Children need lots of care and attention. If they don't get much attention they become lazy/boring pets and can separate from their owner. Children can roleplay. Lasts about 1-3 weeks.

Adult: When your child grows into an adult, they take on lots more responsibility in their habitat. Adults can take on more challenges, weather it's deciding to go and explore the rest of the island, or getting a family ready. These adults can roleplay as much as they want too. Lasts forever!






Your pets need housing too, you know! Here's a quick little run-down of everything in their basic housing area.

1: Their housing habitat
2: The shop's name
3: Your pet's name
4: Your username
5: Your pet's personality
6: Your pet's gender
7: The items you've bought for your pet.




Your pets also bond with you anytime they can. There are four stages of bonding.



Nothing: You eather just got your pet or haven't given it enough attention!
Smile: Your pet's getting used to you, but still isn't quite best friends with you yet.
Huge Smile: They know who you are, and they like you lots, but it's not like you're their family.
Heart: They don't know what they would do without you! Get here and +5 dewdrops!

Meepsha Miika Shelter
Placed a little way outside of the Town Square, the Meepsha Miika Shelter is a great place for new Miikas to find new friends. Here you can visit with Samantha, or play with other Miikas!


Morden's Forest
Next to the Meepsha Shelter is the amazing and colorful forest that belongs to Morden. Morden keeps everything safe in the forest and makes sure every Miika has fun in the forest with their friends. Her peppy attitude makes everything easier.


Butterfly Falls
Kept inside of Morden's Forest is Butterfly Falls, which provides a shallow pool for Miikas to play in. The place is watched over by Samantha on her free time away from the Shelter. The playful butterflies love Miikas, and there's always something to do!


Dark Caverns
A mysterious complex of caves that was discovered behind the Meepsha Shelter. Exploring the caves, you discover that the walls of the caverns are rather moist. Straining your ears, you can hear a dull roaring overhead. Maybe this leads underneath Butterfly Falls?


Sheeka's Clifftop
Over on the darker side of the island is a woman named Sheeka, who always needs some company. Even though her darker exterior shows someone who's unfriendly, her heart is always in the right place. She loves visitors at any time!


Deep Water Side
Is your Miika the type that is brave enough to explore the Deep Water Side? Here, lots of Miikas find hidden treasures for them to keep! If you find one of these, it might even show up in the shops a little later!
