Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nek: <-.-> *Debating whether this or the Tinker Bell outfit is worse* ... *Decides it doesn't matter so long as she isn't put into the grass skirt*

Albaine: *wanders out, carrying Evan*

Evan: =D

Nek: *Trying to figure out how to cover up her stomach* This sash needs to be thicker! D<

Albaine: *spots Nek and half waves*

Evan: *wiggles*

Nek: *Too busy fiddling with the sash to notice Albaine's wave*

Albaine: *not going to sneak up on her*

*gives him a good shove using my god-mod powers allowed over my own characters* >D

Albaine: *shoved over* ..the heck? *glares at Sara*

Evan: *so glad Albaine didn't drop him* O_O

Nek: *Jumps in startlement at Albaine suddenly speaking next to her* Gah! *Teeters for a moment before falling over* Don't do that!

Albaine: Sorry. *tilts his head* Your human change your costume again?

Evan: *decides that he's gonna be still and listen* =)

Nek: *Crosses her arms over her stomach again and stands up, pauses, then quickly dusts herself off before crossing her arms again* Yes, though this one is not much better... stare *Hasn't noticed Evan yet*

Albaine: Looks...cold. Good thing it's not Winter.

Nek: *Nods* If it starts snowing and she doesn't let me have my clothes back I'll blame her if I get sick >/

Albaine: Snow this early? *doesn't really think that's likely* Well, if it does hopefully you won't sick.

Evan: *wonders what snow is*

Nek: It's already snowed three times in my human's 'Minnesota' <-.->

Albaine: Huh. *wonders if he should start bringing a blanket for Evan* Well, it's unlikely to snow today.

Nek: Unlikely, eh? *Eyes the fake confetti snow* Stupid humans... *Waves her sword at the fake snow* Go away!

Dandruff snow!

Albaine: *wipes off the confetti that landed on him and eyes the stuff on the ground* ...Sara should clean this up.

Evan: *wiggles, wondering what's happening*

Nek: *Gives her sword one final wave at Sara before lowering it* Dandruff? What is dandruff? *Has another word for it in her world*

Albaine: *isn't quite sure how to explain it* Dandruff is the white powdery stuff that forms on your scalp.

Evan: *wonders what snow is again*

Nek: *Thinks for a moment* Ah, hairdust? But hairdust isn't white... *In her world it's usually the color of the hair, I could explain why, but it'd take a while and put me in a 'complicated explanation of everything' mood XD* Unless, it's someone with white hair throwing it at us?

Albaine: Well, I guess it's like hairdust then. Dandruff is usually white.

IT'S DEAD SKIN FLAKES!!

Nek: Dead skin flakes? *Quickly brushes the confetti off of her* That's not what hairdust is! Ew, you humans have dead stuff coming from your heads? Ew... *Shakes the confetti out of her hair*

Albaine: *blinks* ...you do know that you're brushing off little bits of paper and not dandruff, right?

Evan: *a bit amused*

Nek: Yeah? *Inspects the bits of paper and sighs with relief*

Albaine: *nods* I really doubt Sara would stoop that low.

Evan: *wiggles* ^^

Nek: She'd better not stare *Brandishes her sword again*

Albaine: So what's hairdust anyway? *a bit curious*

Nek: *Blinks* Hairdust is flakes that come out of your hair when you build up more vitamins and minerals in your body than it can process, if you keep your hairdust it can come in handy when food becomes scarce, it is not dead stuff, but living stuff that you have too much of at some point... *Reaches up to scratch her head, forgetting about her exposed stomach for the moment*

Albaine: Oh. Okay.

Evan: *wiggles* ^^

Nek: Yes... *Looks for a subject change*

Albaine: Well, Halloween's almost here. *thinking that Nek'll be a bit happy that she'll likely get her clothes back soon*

Evan: *wonders what Halloween will be like*

Nek: It is... *Counting down the moments until Neko will give her her clothes back* Have you found out what your human is going to make you wear, yet?

Albaine: Not yet.

Nek: The humans don't seem to be doing much beyond costumes for this Halloween thing, I thought they usually did more?

Albaine: They usually decorate and take children out to gather candy from the neighbors' houses as far as I know. That's what they do where I come from.

Nek: Ah... *Doesn't have Halloween in her world, at least, not any holiday similiar to it that she knows of, but she doesn't really know of too many holidays in general*

Albaine: I think there are parties too, but people throw parties for pretty much anything.

Nek: Why are they so obsessed with parties?

*Pokes Nek*
You'll be getting a party this year, Miss big 3-0 >D

Nek: I refuse to feel old <-.-> And I refuse to have a party! D<

*Skips off, singing loudly and off-key*
March 13~! Nek's 30th Birthday party~! Come one, come all~!

Nek: ...Someday I will kill that human...

Albaine: Because people want an excuse to get together and act crazy. Not that humans here need that excuse.

Nek: Everything is an excuse for them to go crazy... *Notices her clothes again and crosses her arms again*

Albaine: I think their excuse is breathing. -_-

Evan: *wiggles*

Nek: That seems beleivable <-.->

Albaine: *nods*

*contemplates* Hmmm, I suppose that could work. 3nodding Albaine'd be very mad at me though. *goes over and gives Albaine a good shove* ninja

Albaine: *stumbles over a bit, but is likely not going to drop it*

Nek: Watch it! *Jumps forward to snatch what looks like a falling egg* St-stupid humans!!! *Freezes, unsure of what she just did*

Albaine: *glares at Sara* The hell was that for? stare *at Nek* Thanks?

Evan: O_O *a little bit scared of the sudden descent, but is glad he was caught*

Nek: Uh... *Stares at the egg* Uh... *Blinks*

Evan: ^^ *avoids wiggling since he doesn't know Nek and is a little scared of being dropped*

Albaine: *hides his amusement at how dumbfounded Nek appears to be and gives her another moment to give Evan back on her own*

Nek: Uh... *Sort of clings to the egg, afraid of dropping it, yet trying to hand it back to Albaine so she can run away*

Albaine: I'll take him back now. *holds his arms out to take Evan back*

Nek: Uh... Right... *Still trying to hold the egg out while clinging to it*

Albaine: *takes hold of Evan and waits for Nek to let go*

Evan: *wonders if a wiggle will help*

Nek: *Tries to pry her arms off the egg, still afraid it will fall because she lets go of it* Let go... *Telling herself to* Just... *Loosens her fingers* Let... *Loosens her palms* Go... *Loosens her arms and lets them drop to her sides*

Albaine: *gets a better grip of Evan after she lets go* Thank you.

Evan: *snuggles* ^^

Nek: Uh-huh... *Turns to run away and find a nice deep cave to hide in*

Reina: -flies at Nek but misses her, landing between her and Albaine-

Nek: *Falls down at the sudden appearance of Reina flying through the air and turns her head back to look at her* Reina?!

Reina: -angry eye twitch then glares at Pixi till she hears Nek- Hi ^^ -looks over at Albaine- And... hi?

Albaine: *blinks and quickly steps back from the namir who just landed in front of him and waves* Hello?

Nek: *Still sprawled on the ground looking back at Reina* ...

Reina: -gets up, notcing the egg- What a cute egg. And Nek... What are you wearing? Your stomach is showing... aren't you going to get cold?

Albaine: *just nods and observes the conversation*

Evan: =D *likes being called cute*

Nek: *Sits up and glares at Reina* That's what I was telling the humans when they put me in this ridiculous outfit! D<

Edit:: Reina: -pets the egg gently then looks back at at Nek- o3o Sounds Aweful. My human hasn't said anything about this holiday.

Nek: *Mutters and crosses her arms in front of her stomach again* Lucky...

Albaine: *raises an eyebrow and moves away a bit more after she pats him* No offense, but I don't know you that well.

Evan: ^^

Reina: Sorry... not used to seeing eggs ^^;; But I can understand... I adopted... more like found a small pokemir the other day ^^ -looks over at Nek- At least it doesn't look bad.

Nek: How does this not look bad?! I could freeze to death in this thing! *Points to the little sash* This is not weather appropriate! *Griping*

Albaine: Ah. *nods at Reina, and again isn't going to admit that the outfit looks better than the Tinkerbell one*

Nek: *Turns red* ... *Walks off into the forest to find her cave again*

Albaine: *waves goodbye to Nek*

Reina: -blinks- It was nice to meet you.... Nek's friend? and little egg <3 See you later.

Albaine: Albaine. I'm an acquaintance. *waves* Night. *heads off home with Evan sleeping in his arms*

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing*

Evan: *following close behind, looking at things as he walks by*

Nek: *Dozing in a tree since it's raining out*

Albaine: *spots Nek, and debates about saying hello*

Evan: *also spots Nek* ...is she sleeping out in the rain? *whispers*

Nek: *Doesn't really notice Albaine and Evan until her twitch at a whisper, beginning to bring her out of her doze*

Albaine: *nods in response to Evan*

Evan: *whispers again* Guess she doesn't mind bein' wet. xD *looks around at the clearing, enjoying the new sights*

Nek: *Blinks open an eye at the continued whispering and huffs a sigh* So much for my nap... *Hops out of the tree to look around and spy Albaine, not yet noticing Evan* ... *arches a brow, wondering if he was talking to himself*

Albaine: *notices Nek is awake and waves* Hello.

Evan: *wanders a couple feet from Albaine, and dips his paw a mud puddle* ...? >.< *waves the paw around like a kitty with a sock, wiping it on the grass, and stares at the mud puddle again*

Nek: *Walks over* Hey *Eyes are drawn to Evan by the movement and she stiffens* ...There is a kit here...

Albaine: *nods* Yeah, that's Evan.

Evan: *ear twitches a bit, and he looks over at Albaine and Nek* Hi. =) *looks away a bit, staring at the clouds*

Albaine: So how're you? About the same?

Nek: That's the egg-thing? *Inches away a little* Yeah, I haven't been out much again, though Moonlight tried to steal my whip in another place
Nek: You? *Eyeing Evan warily*

Albaine: *nods* Yep, that's him. He hatched the day before yesterday. *changes the subject a bit* I'm alright. There hasn't been much going on lately though. *refering to how quiet Namiah in general has been*

Evan: *looks at Nek's whip, thinking it a bit neat to find someone else who had one other than his dad*

Nek: Ah, so it wouldn't be bad if I dropped by soon? *Watches Evan looking at her whip and crosses her arms, her right over her left so her whip is still showing*

Albaine: *shakes his head* Nah, it shouldn't be. It's been pretty quiet for a while.

Evan: *listening to the conversation* Maybe everyone's busy with something. *doesn't really know what busy means, just recalls the word from before*

Nek: It'll probably get busy as soon as I go back... *Blinks at Evan* The kit speaks...

Albaine: If you're luck is anything like mine, then likely it would. -_- *wonders why Evan speaking is strange* Well, he's not mute.

Evan: *thinks that Nek forgot his name, and tries to be helpful* I'm Evan. ^^

Nek: ...No, I don't suppose he is... *Blinks at Evan* I am Nekoyitolani...

Evan: *tries the name* Neko'itoleni? *frowns and tries again, a bit slower, slightly emphasising the parts he felt didn't come out right* Nekoyitolani. *looks up* It's kinda hard to say. D= Sounds nice though.

Albaine: *just watching, recalling that he didn't say the name for a while after learning it*

Nek: *Frowns a little when he pronounces it wrong, then gives a tiny tiny nod when he gets it right* I suppose you may say 'Nek' instead if you need to...

Evan: *nods* 'kay. =) *thinks a bit about names* I know a kit whose name is Wikvaya, but his dad calls him bean instead. I'm not sure why he does.

Albaine: *raises an eyebrow* Bean? *wonders if this is the same dad Evan was telling him about earlier*

Nek: Why would he call him a peice of food? Does he look edible?

Evan: *shakes his head* I don't think he does. He doesn't even look like a bean.

Albaine: He looks more like a fish than a bean if you ask me.

Nek: Maybe it is a strange custom from his world?

Evan: Maybe. Maybe that's why he won't leave his room unless some birds fly by.

Albaine: *imagines a world where bean is a nickname and everyone shuts themselves up in their room until a group of birds fly past their window* ... *thinks it seems too strange to actually function*

Nek: ... *Almost feels sorry for 'Bean'* I would not like food to be a nickname...

Evan: Me neither. It'd just be strange. Oo

Albaine: *thinks of something* ..wait, isn't his dad that Pokémir with the light on his head? Why would a fish be waiting for birds to fly by to come out? *thinks if anything it'd be the opposite*

Evan: ...don't fish eat fish? o_o

Albaine: I really doubt fish based namrah eat one another.

Nek: *Blinks, wondering how she got drawn into such a strange conversation*

Albaine: *somewhat wondering the same thing, never thinking that he'd have to dispell the suspicion that a fish namir would want to eat another fish namir*

Evan: ...even if he did Wikvaya'd probably find out and get far far away before his dad left the room. *making a joke*

Nek: ... *Backs away from Evan a little more, thinking that he is a strange kit and that he was the one who started the strange conversation*

Albaine: *shrugs*

Evan: *changes the subject when he notes that his joke didn't go over so well* ...how many worlds are there? *wonders since Nek mentioned something that implied there were other worlds*

Nek: That I know of? *Ponders a bit* This world, my world, Albaine's world, Kara's world, Brightshadow and Brambleleaf's world, Nightcrawler's world, and all of the 'alternate universes' of his world, Butterfly's world... *Gets tired of trying to list them, finding out that there are more than she thought she knew of* A lot...

Albaine: *recalls Blazon talking about worlds* There's probably over a billion worlds out there. At least.

Evan: *frowns* how much is a billion?

Albaine: ... *wonders how to illustate it so Evan understands how much* One million is a thousand groups of a thousand, and a billion is a thousand groups of one million.

Evan: *blinks, unable to even visualize that much* ...wow.

Nek: According to Nightcrawler there is the possibility of infinite worlds... Something about parallel universes and alternate timelines... *Didn't really follow the conversation that well, but was actually eavesdropping so didn't care that much at the time*

Ash Ley: *Peeks in, just because she can* |D

Albaine: Our world has parallel universes too, but they form whenever someone makes a decision so there are probably too many to count. Or at lease we call them parallel universes, he might be talking about something different.

Evan: *is so totally lost*

Nek: It was probably the same thing... *Is probably as lost as Evan*

Albaine: Most likely.

Evan: *yawns*

Nek: The kit is tired...

Albaine: *looks at Evan* Yeah, I should probably put him to bed. *picks Evan up*

Evan: *snuggles into Albaine's arms and closes his eyes* ^^

Albaine: Have a good night. *heads off home*

Nek: *Waves and returns to her tree to nap*

Shino: *Wearing a black hoodie and trying her hardest to climb a tree* Nng! *clings to a low branch and wiggles while trying to haul herself up onto the branch*

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing*

Evan: ...? *looks over at Shino's attempts to climb a tree*

Shino: *Just kind of dangles there. Looks over at Albaine and Evan* Hey there!

Evan: Hi! =D *heads over to her*

Albaine: *spots Shino and waves* Hello. *tilts his head a bit, then walks over with Evan* How're you?

Shino: I'm good *Grins down at Evan* How are you two?

Albaine: I'm alright.

Evan: *paws at the tree a bit* Climbing? biggrin

Shino: *Nods and smirks* Yep! *Pauses* Well, working on it

Evan: Yeah, it's kinda hard. Especially if you can't reach any of the branches. D=

Albaine: So how high are you planning on climbing?

Shino: *Drops down from the branch* Not any higher for now. *Grins at Evan* That's when you just need to be able to jump high

Evan: How high can you jump? =D

Albaine: Ah. *looks up the tree for a moment before returning his gaze back to the conversation*

Shino: *Points to the branch she just dropped from* That high

Evan: Neat! biggrin I wonder if I can jump that high... *tempted to try*

Albaine: Only way to find out is to try.

Shino: *Nods* You should try. Though don't be discouraged if you can't, you might be able to do it when you get older.

Evan: Okay. *wanders over near the branch, looking up for a moment to make sure he's not directly under it, crouches down, and leaps upward, failing to grab hold of the branch though comes only a few inches below touching the bottom of it* Aw, missed. xd

Albaine: Good try though.

Shino: Yeah, you almost got it

Evan: *smiles* I'll try again some other time. =D I'll get it then. *a bit determined*

Albaine: *unsure of what to talk about now* Isn't there a holiday of some sort coming up?

Shino: *nods* Christmas is coming up. Daddi says more Namrah might show up.

Albaine: I thought there was. I bet it'll get a bit more crowded in the clearing.

Evan: Christmas? Which holiday is that? =3

Albaine: I think it's the one with the tree people leave presents under.

Shino: *Nods* I think that's it. *Grins evilly* Presents~

Evan: That holiday sounds better than the one where you just eat. xd

Albaine: Looking forward to the presents, I'm guessing? *wondering what to get Evan now that it occured to him*

Shino: Yeah... that one was boring.

Albaine: I don't see the point of cooking enough food for 3 times the number of people you're serving.

Evan: Well, I guess it'd mean that you don't have to cook the next day. confused

Albaine: Assuming that they don't eat all of it. And then sleep the rest of the day.

Shino: We still have a lot left over xP

Albaine: We do too, though the others are slowly getting rid of it.

Evan: Hopefully it'll all be gone before next Thanksgiving. D=

Albaine: It'd be thrown away long before then, so no need to worry about that.

Shino: Yeah, it'd go bad by then.

Evan: What's it like when food goes bad?

Albaine: It smells and looks terrible. It'll make you sick if you eat it too.

Evan: ...eww... D=

Albaine: *nods* I wonder what Christmas will be like here. *mostly wondering what the humans will be up to*

Shino: I don't know, this'll be my first Christmas *Grins* I'm excited

Albaine: It'll be my first Christmas here too. I'm hoping it'll be nice.

Evan: I bet it will be. =D

Shino: Will you have a tree?

Albaine: Most likely. The house usually gets decorated for the holidays.

Evan: Uh, tree? *looks at the tree next to them*

Albaine: *shakes his head* Not that kind of tree.

Shino: Yeah, it's a pine tree or something.

Albaine: *nods* Yep, a pine tree. It's shaped like a cone and has needles instead of leaves.

Evan: Ooooh, neat. =3 And it gets decorated too, right? *assuming*

Albaine: *nods* Yep.

Shino: *Looks around* I have to get home, talk to you guys later

Albaine: *waves* Night.

Evan: Bye! =D *waves too*

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing carrying Evan*

Evan: *just enjoying the ride, watching it snow*

Kara: *wanders out*

Chalybs: *tagging along*

Albaine: *waves* Hello.

Evan: Hi! =D *waves also*

Kara: *waves back* Hello. *nudges Chalybs*

Chalybs: *waves shyly*

Kara: About. You?

Chalybs: You'll get better, won't you?

Albaine: I'm alright. Sara's been occupied with some new game she got so she hasn't tried to aggravate me lately.

Evan: *nods* I should. If I practice anyway.

Kara: Well, that's good then. Unfortunately the luster will wear off eventually.

Chalybs: Why wouldn't you?

Albaine: I know it will. I'm just enjoying the break. If I'm lucky she'll immediately pick up the book she also got which should give me an extra day or two. *tries to remember what the book was called*

Evan: *thinks* I don't know. confused Only way I wouldn't get better is if I didn't try.

Kara: And really, what more is there to hope for on that front?

Chalybs: Well, if you are practicing, then you don't need to worry.

Albaine: Not much, that's for sure. It's unlikely that the book will keep her until Christmas, it's too short for that.

Evan: *nods* Yeah. =D Any books I should read when I learn how?

Kara: How long is the book?

Chalybs: Um . . . *thinks* I liked Heidi.

Albaine: *indicates using his hand* About this big. It has something to do with Hitchhikers apparently. *only thing he can recall*

Evan: What's that one about?

Shino: *Looks down at the crushed pinecone,then instantly loses interest. Shoves it away and sits back to yawn*

Albaine: *wanders out*

Evan: *follows by hopping in the snow*

Shino: *Smirks when she spots Albaine and Evan. Trots over to them, her tail swishing* Hey!

Albaine: *waves* Hello. How're you?

Evan: Hi! =D

Shino: Alright, curious about this Christmas thing everyone's talking about. What about you two?

Albaine: I'm alright.

Evan: I'm good. ^^

Albaine: *thinks* It's not too far from now. Less than a week.

Shino: I know *Grins and wiggles* I'm excited *Looks to Evan* Hey, got any cool powers yet?

Evan: I can spark a bit if I concentrate. =D I talked to another Pokémir and he was part electric, so he gave me a couple pointers. I'm not good at it yet though.

Albaine: *wonders how many powers Pokémir usually have*

Shino: You'll have to show me when you learn something really cool *Smirks*

Evan: You bet! =D

Albaine: I wonder what Christmas here is like. *guessing it'll be a bit crowded, and hopes that it won't result in some outfit change beyond something warmer*

Evan: What was it like where you came from?

Albaine: Lots and lots of decorations. There used to be singing too, though I never really listened to that much.

Shino: I don't know *Cocks her head* Maybe it'll just be something simple?

Albaine: Might be. It seemed to be more of a family and friends holiday than Halloween was, so I could see it being simple.

Evan: I just hope it's fun. ^^

Shino: I was hoping for excitement really.

Albaine: Just have to wait and see. *guessing that there will be a lot of namrah in the clearing to meet with friends/family for Christmas*

Evan: Think they'll be singing like where you came from? That'd be pretty cool. ^^

Shino: I think I'll be staying home for Christmas

Albaine: I'm not sure what I'll do. *thinking that Sara will probably boot him out into the clearing*

Evan: I might play outside for a while. ^^

Shino: In the snow?

Evan: *nods* Yeah, I like the snow. =D It should still be around then, right?

Albaine: Unless it suddenly gets warmer out, it should.

Shino: It should be. I think it's like some kind of unspoken law that there has to be snow for Christmas. Unless you're from the same place as my Daddi.

Albaine: It depends, though here there'll likely be snow.

Evan: Okay. biggrin Where's your daddy from?

Albaine: Oh, I know Florida. It's a state in the United States.

Evan: The United States?

Albaine: It's a country where I'm from.

Shino: So you and my Dad are from the same place? That's kind of cool

Albaine: Well, almost the same place. I don't know if it's exactly the same.

Evan: *tilts his head*

Albaine: *explains* There's different version of the same planet, even with the same main places. I'm not sure how that works, but that's how it is. Or at least from what I've heard.

Albaine: *nods* Yep. I'm still not sure how they're formed though. *only knows about the parallel universes in his own dimension*

Evan: Sounds neat.

Shino: I wonder how confusing it gets for those that go from dimension to dimension.

Evan: Probably very confusing. @_@

Albaine: I've heard of some people who go around to other dimensions that are vastly different with the intent of just taking some person and tossing them into the world I'm from.

Shino: Sounds mean... and kind of fun. It'd be interesting to see their reactions and if they are able to adapt.

Albaine: *thinks that he could probably get an idea of how they felt* They were probably confused, and if they knew someone sent them there they'd probably feel a bit angry. If they couldn't make it back, or didn't want to go back they'd probably adapt, though depending on what society was like where they came from it might take a while.

Evan: How would they get back?

Albaine: Same way they got there?

Shino: *Nods* The one that put them there might be nice enough to take them back.

Evan: Oh, that'd be nice of them. ^^ And then they would have a story to tell when they got back. biggrin

Albaine: *wonders if the people there would believe the story*

Shino: *Nods* It'd be an adventure *Smirks*

Evan: Yeah! =D An adventure.

Albaine: *has nothing to add*

Shino: *Looks around, then leans over to whisper to Evan* Want to go on one?

Evan: *thinks and nods* Uh huh. biggrin

Albaine: *tilts his head a bit*

Shino: You have to ask your dad first *Nods*

Evan: *looks at Albaine* Can I go on an adventure?

Albaine: .... *thinks about that for a moment* ...sure, as long as you stay on the island and don't stay out too long. *wonders if he'll be able to come along, but figures that would interfere with some sort of individual play thing*

Evan: *smiles* Okay! =D

Shino: Great! *Strikes a pose* Lets find a portal to another world *Glances at Albaine* Just find it, not go through it.

Albaine: *nods* Have fun.

Evan: We will! ^^ *wiggles a bit, excited to go out on an adventure*

Shino: *Starts to trot away from Albaine* Where should we look first?

Albaine: *leans up against a tree and thinks about going home to grab a book to read while waiting*

Evan: *follows after Shino* Where should we look first? biggrin

Shino: *Laughs* Didn't I just ask you that? *Shakes her head* Lets go check in the woods. Portals are usually in dark places *Nods* So they can be disguised.

Evan: *looks a bit embarrassed, but gets over it quickly* That would make sense. 3nodding Would caves work too?

Shino: Yeah, especially a cave. Those can act as shelters for the travelers. *Nods*

Evan: I wonder how you make a portal. Permanent or just temporary. *looking around*

Shino: Probably through magic, though I remember watching a show where they made portals with potions *Pokes her head into a bush, only to have a bunch of snow fall on her head*

Evan: Magic? *thinks* Probably. *laughs a bit* You've got a hat of snow. =D

Shino: *Shakes her head to get the snow off* That crap is cold!

Evan: At least it's not as hard as ice. 'Cause then it'd hurt if it fell on you.

Shino: Yeah, that would hurt like hell *Winces at the thought, then her ears perk when she notices something shining up ahead* Hey, what's that?

Evan: *looks over, squinting to get a better look* I dunno...maybe we found a portal already? =D *starts walking toward it*

Shino: Well that was quick... if it was one *Slows to a stop as they draw closer to see that it's a mirror, half buried in the snow* Not a portal, that's for sure.

Evan: *pokes the mirror* Wasn't there a book or something where people could go through mirrors?

Shino: Through the Looking Glass, aka, Alice in Wonderland. Ever watched the movie?

Evan: Yeah, that one. 3nodding Umm... *thinks* I think I saw a bit of it one time. Is that the one with the playing cards?

Shino: *Nods* Yep, that's the one *Reaches over to pick up the mirror* Not exactly big enough for travel

Evan: *shakes his head* We'd have to shrink to get through there.

Shino: *Taps the glass with her paw* It's solid anyways *Looks around* Wonder if someone dropped it

Evan: Probably. =3 I bet they were confused the next time they needed it and couldn't find it.

Shino: Or maybe they left it out here on purpose. Could be cursed.

Evan: Cursed? O_O

Shino: *Nods* Haven't you ever heard of a cursed mirror?

Evan: *shakes his head* Uh uh.

Shino: Just stuff like, they could bring good luck, or show people stuff they don't want to see *Decides not to mention the stuff like "Bloody Mary"*

Evan: Ohhh...okay. 3nodding I wonder if that's why Dad doesn't really look at mirrors.

Shino: You should ask him *Looks around* What should we do with the mirror?

Evan: Do you think it's cursed? If it is we should probably hide it so it doesn't cure anyone...or would that curse us?

Shino: Don't know *Shrugs* I've already touched it, so I'd be cursed anyways.

Evan: Oh...well, let's go hide it then. *hopes Shino isn't cursed*

Shino: *Takes the mirror in her teeth* Read du way

Evan: *looks around* Hmmm...this way. *heads off towards the right*

Shino: *Follows Evan, trying not to drop the mirror*

Evan: *looks around as he continues on his way, and spots a small tunnel, likely an old rabbit's nest near the roots of a tree* How about here?

Shino: *Sets the mirror down* Are we sure that there's nothing living in there?

Evan: Hm, I'll go check. *crouches down and squeezes into the nest to make sure*

Shino: Be careful down there

Evan: I will! ^^ *continues crawling through the rabbit hole, wondering how far it leads*

Shino: *Peers into the whole* See anything?

Evan: It's kinda dark... *squints* ...? *picks up an object on the ground*

Shino: What? *Cocks her head as Evan goes quiet*

Evan: *puts the object down* I found something. biggrin *picks it back up and starts to crawl back, heading backwards out of the rabbit hole*

Shino: *Steps back so Evan can get out* What is it?

Evan: *sets it down so he can look at it* Looks like a page out of a book.

Shino: I wonder what it was doing down there... *Brushes some of the dirt off the page to look it over*



Evan: *looks over the page* Alice? Like from Wonderland?

Shino: Looks like it *Smiles a little* I wonder why it was down there

Evan: Maybe the rabbits thought it'd be warm and comfy. biggrin Or they could read.

Shino: I don't think rabbits can read, normal rabbits anyways... *Leans over to peer into the hole*

Evan: I don't think so either. Not unless somebody can teach them. *looks over the paragraph*

Shino: Can you read? *Continues to peer into the hole while wondering if perhaps it led to Wonderland*

Evan: A little, yeah. I'm still learning.

Shino: Books are fun, but I can never stay interested for long *Sighs* I wish I could fit in there, I'm curious now

Evan: It's pretty dark in there. I found that at the end, or at least I think it was the end. *wonders if a camera would work in the dark, not that they have one*

Shino: Maybe we should come back with a flashlight later?

Evan: Sounds like a plan! biggrin I'm pretty sure there's a flashlight in the house.

Shino: For now, we should get you back to your dad... *Sticks the mirror in the snow by the hole* This will mark the spot

Evan: *nods* Got it. ^^ *starts heading back, following their tracks in the snow as assurance*

Shino: *Falls into step next to Evan*

Evan: *follows the tracks all the way to Albaine, parts ways with Shino, and tells his dad a bit about his adventures*

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing*

Evan: *following behind happily*

Clare: *hovers into the clearing*

Albaine: *spots Clare and waves* Hello.

Evan: *looks over* Is she a witch? biggrin

Clare: *waves back* Greetings. *smiles at Evan* Hello, little one.

Albaine: How're you?

Evan: *smiles and waves, then looks at her hat*

Clare: *smiles* I am well. And yourself?

Albaine: I'm alright.

Evan: I'm good too. biggrin So do you have a lot of powers?

Clare: *winks at Evan* Oh, I would say that I have enough.

Evan: So what's it like to fly?

Clare: *smiles* Well, if it's alright with your father, I could show you.

Evan: Oh, can I? =D

Albaine: *guessing she wouldn't go too high or out of sight* It's fine with me.

Evan: Okay! ^^

Clare: Aright, then. *picks up Evan, holding him securely, then begins to rise over the tree-tops*

Evan: *looks down, watching the ascent* Whoa... biggrin

Albaine: *simply watches*

Clare: You can see the stars much better without all the branches in the way. *still going up slowly*

Evan: *looks up at the stars* Yeah.

Clare: *grins* So, what's flying like?

Evan: I like it. ^^ *thinks* It's a bit more windy up here, and everything looks a bit smaller.

Clare: If we were to get high enough, people would appear small as ants and it would be very cold indeed.

Evan: So why does it get colder when you go up? *kind of understands the ant thing*

Clare: *thinks for a moment* I believe it is because the air is thinner the higher you go and cannot hold in heat as well.

Evan: Ohh...so even the sun can't keep you warm?

Clare: The air traps the heat from the sun, but without air . . .

Evan: Oh... *nods* I get it.

Clare: *smiles* Good. Is there anything you wanted to see?

Evan: Hmm... *thinks and looks around* I can't think of anything right now.

Clare: *nods* Would you like to go back down, then?

Evan: *nods* Sure. ^^

Clare: *starts to descend slowly*

Evan: *watches the ground as they descend*

Clare: *lightly* Are you feeling at all dizzy?

Evan: *shakes his head* Nope.

Clare: Very good. *speeds up a bit*

Evan: Did it take long for you to learn how to fly?

Clare: Not really. *grins* Learning to fly straight, on the other hand . . .

Evan: *laughs* Oh, so learning how was easy but controlling it was hard?

Clare: *nods* Just so. *touches down . . . only it's more like "comes to rest about four inches above the ground" in this case*

Evan: I'm still having a hard time with my electric powers. They're not that strong yet.

Clare: They will doubtless grow in strength as you get older.

Evan: I know. I think practice will help though.

Albaine: Did you have fun?

Evan: *nods* Yeah. biggrin

Clare: Indeed it will. *bows slightly* And now I must take my leave of you, for the hour grows late indeed. Good night.

Albaine: *waves* Night.

Evan: Bye! ^^

Albaine: *wanders into the clearing*

Evan: *follows Albaine, looking around*

Kara: *walks in, Chalybs draped around her shoulders*

Chalybs: *would feel inordinately like a mink stole, except at least he's not getting wet*

Albaine: *waves* Hello.

Evan: *spots Chalybs upon Kara's shoulders* Hi! =D

Kara: *waves back, holding Chalybs in place with her free hand* Hi.

Chalybs: *grins and waves back*

Albaine: How're you?

Evan: Having fun up there? =3

Kara: Alright; warm, at least.

Chalybs: *sighs happily* It's nice and dry.

Albaine: Yeah, it seems like it.

Evan: *nods* Yeah, being held is nice. biggrin *lightly paws at Albaine's leg to be picked up so that he doesn't have to look up to talk to Chalybs*

Albaine: *picks Evan up*

Kara: *pats Chally's head* He's like a little furnace; I don't even need a jacket.

Chalybs: *tilts his head a bit to adjust to Evan's new position* You're still little.

Albaine: That's warm. I can understand the need to keep him out of the snow too.

Evan: Is that bad?

Kara: *grins* It is most comfortable, for the both of us, it would seem.

Chalybs: *shakes his head* No, since I remember you being an egg. I just thought it'd been a long enough while.

Albaine: *nods* Well, Sara seems preoccupied again. Something about needing to get a lot of something and having an ingame time limit before it might be gone forever. *recalls Sara ranting about it earlier*

Evan: I don't mind being a kit. biggrin And there are kits at the house who've been kits for as long as I can remember and they haven't grown yet so I think it's fine. =3

Kara: Humans and their video games.

Chalybs: *blinks* Well, if you're fine with it.

Albaine: I don't really get it. If she doesn't like doing something in the game then why not just forget it?

Evan: *nods and tries to give an example* You don't seem upset that you're not an adult.

Kara: Humans have strange memories; they only seem to forget things that are incredibly important or that they don't care about.

Chalybs: Well, you spend more time being a teen than a kit.

Albaine: *raises an eyebrow, but decides to reply to it anyways rather than clarify* Well, I can't say I'm much different...I tend to write down things I don't want to forget.

Evan: Maybe I just grow at my own pace. ^^

Kara: *shrugs* I have near photographic memory when I do remember, but there is a rather lot of it.

Chalybs: *grins* Slow pace.

Albaine: Some things I remember better than others. For regular, day-to-day memory I remember what people say more than the minute details of who was in the clearing besides whoever I'm with.

Evan: So how long is a teen supposed to be a teen? *tilts his head*
