w e l c o m e !
Hello, thank you for clicking this particular link in the great big Charity/Quests forum! My name is phantasmagore [akaCaroline], and I... am on a quest. :3
Basics/Boringness aside, I am a sixteen-year-old girl from California who enjoys intelligence and aesthetics.
I started playing Gaia in December of 2004, neglected it for uhmmoverayear, came back this February and became somewhat addicted.
sweatdrop These days, you're likely to find me hanging 'round the exchange or bumping to fulfill my obsessive-compulsive desire to count things in multiples of six.
Now why V E L V E T E E N ?
I am currently questing for a
mini nitemare wings and a
royal crown black.
We have all heard the story of the Velveteen Rabbit, yes?
(If not... you were deprived as a child, and you absolutely must read it now :0!!)
Quote:
"I am the nursery magic Fairy," she said. "I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved. When they are old and worn out and the children don't need them any more, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real."
"Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit.
"You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one."
And she held the little Rabbit close in her arms and flew with him into the wood.
It was light now, for the moon had risen. All the forest was beautiful, and the fronds of the bracken shone like frosted silver. In the open glade between the tree-trunks the wild rabbits danced with their shadows on the velvet grass, but when they saw the Fairy they all stopped dancing and stood round in a ring to stare at her.
"I've brought you a new playfellow," the Fairy said. "You must be very kind to him and teach him all he needs to know in Rabbit-land, for he is going to live with you for ever and ever!"
And she kissed the little Rabbit again and put him down on the grass.
"Run and play, little Rabbit!" she said.
Yes, after months of being confined to jeans and a sweater, my avi came back aspiring to be something amazing. Have we accomplished our goal, though? In less than a year my wealth has grown well into the millions, doubling and ever increasing since I stumbled upon this business of vending in late November. There are four items I desire in all of Gaia before I can relax with vending, exchanging, and questing -- devil tail, mini nitemare wings, DJ studio headphones, and a diamondback lion mask, not bought, but created from ten lionfish. This is the beginning of the end!
