Welcome to Gaia! ::

Through the mahogany doors laid quite an impressive library that was almost as old as the building it is situated in. The library spans across several floors, each shelf requiring a ladder to reach the top-most books. A wide variety of books adorn the magnificent shelves, and the library itself is always obtaining new additions at least every week, if not every day. There are plenty of reading tables to which one may study the books at lesiure.

A small section within the library allows one to eat and chat socially. The area is sectioned off so as not to disturb the main library and consists of a few tables and chairs linked to a kitchen containing the bare minimum; a kettle, a fridge freezer, a mini oven, a sink, a few cupboards and a bin.

Belladonna's narrowed eyes scanned the library in silence, her arms crossed over her chest and a very dark look on her face. Hmph, what was she doing in a church? A church was such an unfit place for one such as herself! They always reeked of...pureness and religion. Ick. Happiness was overrated as far as Bella was concerned.

Her thick, heavy boots weren't so quiet on the floor as she walked, the sounds of her footsteps echoing off the walls and adding an eerie feel to the dead silence of the library. Was there even anyone in this library? It was so large one probably couldn't keep track of anyone. Bella blinked and paused mid-step, glancing at a book on a shelf next to her and raising a brow. "...Interesting." Came her surprisingly soft voice, looking around to be sure no one was around before she pulled the dusty book out of its place. It seemed no one had read this book in ages...and it was so old.

Karasu heard footsteps from another person but by the time she had peered over to check who it was, the person had already left her line of sight. Burgeonata, a girl whom Karasu knew of casually then walked through the doors. She smiled back at Burgeonata and proceeded to pour herself a nice cup of Chai tea. She added some milk to the tea and a touch of cinammon to give it extra spice.

What are you doing up so early?, she asked as Burgeonata sat down at one of the kitchen tables.

Ah, no wonder. I'm used to the library being empty at this time of the day, she said as she sat down at a chair next to her. She sipped some of her tea. What book has gotten you so absorbed?

Burgie peers over the top of "Anecdotal Antidotes" and looks at the two girls who just sat down and smiles, then turns her attention back to Kara; "I was doing some research on my herbs, I thought I might like to try making some hand creams." She tries to subtley slide another book over the top of "A Compendium Of Lost Ancient Artifacts," so Kara doesn't notice it.

The door to the library opens quitely and pauses. Shiori walks in carring about a dozen books she had borrowed the other day. Once she passed through the door way, Midori steps in and closes the door behind her. She then hurrys silently to catch up to her older sister.
Although they are two years apart in age, they are close and love doing things together, however each have there own personalitys. Shiori loves to sing and dance and hopes to become famous at it, she doesn't seem to mine that her clumbiness gets in the way often. She is also loud and very opinionated. Midori; unlike her older sister; is quite and reserved. She likes fashion and loves to dress her friends in styles she was made in her own hands. She doens't hope to be famous, but she hopes to design clothes for a living.

Shiori, I wish you would let me help you carry those books. You've got so many in your hands. Midori said with a concerned look on her face. Shiori smiled and then turned around to look at Midori, but in doing so she lost her footing and feel over casueing the books to crash to the floor in a loud manner. Oppies, I dropped them again today. Shiori said as she smiled at her sister and then reached down to collect them up. Midori reached down to help her.

Kara also walk over to examine what had happened across the room. Two girls, sisters she believes... she recognises them as they usually come to the library. Older sister Shiori and younger sister Midori.

Are you two alright?, she asked, reaching to help the youngest one up.

Why were you carrying soo many books?. Karasu asked Shiori. Although Karasu loved books, she rarely checks any of them out, maybe the odd one or two here and there. Instead, she preferred to stay in the library for most of the day, especially since there was kitchen so conveniently placed. She's learned a lot from books, but has yet to experience many of the wonders outside books. She is of course willing to learn anything, be it painting, dancing or even sailing.
