Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wan Blush and Seed had some charming babies --
and while three of them have already been nabbed, boy number one is still up for grabs!

This is a classic contest: Name that sack!
All you have to do is provide a name, using the code below.

At the end of the contest, which ends Friday, November 25th at 4pm EST,
we will either choose our favorite straight up or narrow it down and raffle it out,
depending on if one stands out for us!

Ready? Okay, go!

Username: Gilded Dragon.
Kimeti's Name: Pitcher.
Other Info: If little bit morbid, Pitcher's sense of humor isn't lacking. He's friendly, and a little bit awkward, but maybe that's because he just joked about an owl carrying your songbird away if it sings too many sour notes. He'll go by Plip to those he's familiar with.

In a long day's marsh exploring
Comes across a narrow vase
A slit, high up, lays bare the throat
Plant's muzzle, traplike maze.

Sweet allure of narrow shape
Accentuates the luscious scent
Attracting tiniest of creatures
To hasty, hungering descent.

Small vase filled with fluid
Sweet nectar is the prize
But once they taste digestive nectar
The insects seal their demise.

No trap snaps shut, no teeth to close
The plant employs a subtler trick
Once crawlers try to climb away
They are trapped by walls too slick.

Wings now wet, even fliers
Who rely so oft on power of flight
Can no longer hope to reach escape
Struggling, striving as they might.

Down downward hairs they slide and slip
Unable to cling to the slippery walls
Desperate legs slide gradually down
To a watery grave in waxen halls.

Username: Mnara
Kimeti's Name: Lovely Flowing Color
Other Info: Flow loves to paint, especially with plant materials, and his speech is a tad slurred because his mouth is always sore from carrying prickly items and plants that are... less than healthy. Not one for romance, his love is only given to his work. He's more than happy to trade some of his art to others in exchange for more materials.

Username: Kitty Sprightt
Kimeti's Name: Jackdaw Shuffle
Other Info:

Lynx saw Jackdaw out by the sound,
Bird raised to cat one star-bright eye,
And then bowed low to the ground,
And with the braggart's righteous cry,
Said "Here's a rare thing to have found."

"How right," said Lynx, "how grand a sight!
A rare, rare find indeed!
Not only talking, and polite,
But even not a-scratch for seed,
A bird preferring ground to flight!"

The words did cause some small kerfluffle.
Jackdaw was proud, and was quite keen.
And Lynx, then, to avoid a scuffle,
Asked bird, "What else is to be seen?"
He paused, then asked, "A Jackdaw shuffle?"

His words confused, and Lynx so said.
He laughed then - "I see you're not so bright!"
And so he took it in his head,
To show her, maybe to delight,
A special way he'd learned to tread.

His talons scuffed the dirt below,
One foot and then the other flew.
And he shot 'round, the nimble fellow,
Faster dancing than flying, blue
Shone his feathers in the mellow glow.

He danced, he danced, and merrily,
But he forgot to take his care.
So while a-dancing 'round was he,
She bit him quick, so not to scare,
Since as he danced he could not flee -
And swiftly ate the jackdaw there.

Username: SerinaNight
Kimeti's Name: Moss (I was thinking of several names, but just plain 'Moss' fit so well.)
Other Info: Moss is a very energetic kin, while a bit shy, he always seems to have a smile and energy to spare. Moss likes exploring, finding little 'treasures.' These things could be anything from a small smooth stone, to a line of ants. While he appreciates the larger beauty of the swamp, the small pieces that put it together are what he really admires. Sometimes, the perfect clearing isn't complete without that warm rock to sun yourself on, the small hill just isn't the same if it doesn't have that pile of fallen leaves and that clear pool is all the better for the frolicking fish hiding inside. Sometimes he gets cared away, talking about some small discovery for what seems like hours, but he'll often try and show others the treasures he sees so he can share the beauty of the swamp with them. While he doesn't have trouble interacting with other kin, he can get a bit awkward when the conversation turns to himself, or simply off the topic of the swamp, treasures, hobbies, etc. This gives Moss a friendly, but standoffish feel, despite his best intentions. When he attempts to talk about subjects he's not best with, in hope of making himself seem less cold, he often does something silly, making a fool of himself.

So, short/to the point version: Happy, energetic, nice guy. Shyness makes some conversations awkward, however he often tries to hard to prevent this and does something silly instead. Enjoys nature, in all its incarnations, especially the little things. Likes sharing his discoveries with others.

((I feel like writing more, but not sure what else to say. XD Figure this is enough.))

Username: Kalahari-Summers
Kimeti's Name: Life in the Wind
Other Info: He is not one, but many; how this is he does not know, but still it is so, and before long a breeze picks up and his many, many parts are sent stirring, scattering through the air. Tossed aloft, he can feel the whole of the sky with his many selves, and to ride the wind is so exhilarating that he never wants to stop, never wants to lose that feeling of being so alive within his many, many selves.

He is the life in the wind and he loves it.

(Based off wind picking up pollen, I didn't want to actually use the word pollen though. =w=;; )

Username: Sinbari
Kimeti's Name: Beetle Juice
Other Info: "Slime" enjoys dissecting anything and everything to see what's inside. While he'll pull apart things like flowers sometimes, he's just as likely to poke, crunch, or squeeze a critter he's found before he has it for lunch. Whether he's sick and twisted or just overly curious remains to be seen.
