Welcome to Gaia! ::

Back Story:

You are in the gardens of the guild, they are not normal gardens. There are many hidden archways leading to other places, some even to other worlds far beyond what we know. There is only one way into the garden from the guilds main building but it can be seen from near enough every window. It was not always a magical garden, the swimming pools, mazes and fountains were there long before that happened. It all started when some members of the guild were gardening...

The day was warm and bright and all manner of creature was working side by side. However everyone wanted things to be suitable for them. Some liked winter and others liked summer, some liked dark wet caves and some liked beaches, everyone was at a loss for what to do. One of the more magical among them had a wave of genius; if they all pored their magic into the garden it would be suitable for all of them! That night everyone added an item of theirs into a caldron, it was a veritable mix from soil of the garden itself to hair and crystals and all manner of charms. All gathered pored magic into it and gradually everything was brewed. The stewing resulted in an eventual explosion and the garden changed shape! It seemed to stretch on forever and portals sprung up here and there. Some of the creatures wandered off to explore the worlds beyond these portals and were not seen again...

The garden itself is always in a state of flux and can sometimes just change shape for no real reason. It is also subject to very random weather anomalies since it is effectively every season at once. Strange things happen here in almost limitless abundance. There is everything you could ever expect to find in a garden such as flowers, fruit and vegetables and all manner of garden ornaments. There are also random crystal formations here and there ever since the magical incident.
Feel free to enjoy the gardens delights but be warned the magic here is very strong and unpredictable!

When she had started to explore the guild, Julie had never expected to find anything like this. Training arenas, libraries, maybe. Those seemed to fit in most guilds, but a garden?

Her natural green thumb was absolutely tickled by the wide variety of plants and trees that were all blooming at the same time, when they should be limited to their own seasons. Running forward like a child in a toy shop, she stopped and leaned down next to a gorgeous pink flower on the side of the path and happily sniffed it. She exhaled happily and sat down next to it. For the moment, she was an incredibly happy little orc.

Noxy had not taken much time to relax since the whole chaos of Halloween had spread throughout Gaia. In between working for the Sentinel and protecting the less experienced in the world from vampires and werewolves she had not taken time to rest. The many days of labour and fighting had caught up with her and she simply knew the garden was the place she could. Although she had only been there on a few occasions.

Within a few moments she found herself surrounded with the beautiful sent of many different flowers and the colours were simply marvellous to view. Closing her eye lids over emerald orbs before she looked around and started to walk in the enchanted realm that was the garden.

Heading towards one of the vegetable patches where she was hoping to find one of the lovely carrots she breathed in the fresh air and sigh of relief that the mess of the world outside of the guild was lost to her, for now.

The troll girl giggled.
"No it belongs to the guild...but I guess I do spend a lot of time tending it" She grinned. She had been planting and things in here for ages although with the gardens tendancy to randomly change shape every now and then she sometimes had difficulties.
"By the way" She added as a thoughtful comment. "You may erm... well, this garden can be...odd..." She trailed off looking at the floor, it wasnt as if the garden were evil but some parts of it were strange... at the moment the bit they had walked out onto was flowerbeds and fountains and her veg garden but some parts of the garden, espesially in the mazes could be some what wild.

Red Rum stepped into a a large vibrant garden, filled with a diversity of plants. Strange for a guild, but the boy did not ponder long.

Instantly, he went searching for something to eat. A cafeteria may have suited the situation better, but a vegetable patch or fruit orchard would do just fine for the moment.

As he wandered, having no luck finding anything edible, he passed several flower sections, one of which had two beings occupying it. Only then did he realize how empty the garden felt at the moment. He looked further to see something else approach the two, shouting "hello."

not caring to make himself acquainted with this bunch, he made no approach, but seeing as there was no one else at the moment, he stayed put for a few moments. His hope was to casually interrupt, ask where the vegetable patch or orchard was and then slip out. Small talk was not Red' Rum's forte by all means.

(((OoC: Sorry. I'm a bit long winded.)))

Rune glanced up, the garden was shifting again... She had no time to dodge the hedge that swallowed her, its leaves folding in around her, enclosing her in the fresh green. It smelt of fresh rains. The plant moved and twisted placing the Troll back down. She was used to the garden doing strange things like this by now, so she was only a little surprised to emerge in a courtyard that she had not seen before. It all looked so new here... She sniffed the air, it smelled softly of spring. This place seemed so full of hope.
"Well maybe I shall meet someone new" She beamed to herself as a butterfly flew past "It would be nice to make some new friends"

"Hello" The Troll Grinned and waved at the newcomer, she walked over relived to not be entangled in the magical hedge. "It's a nice day here at the moment isn't it?" She beamed realizing her statement of greeting must seem a little odd...
