As the group entered the White Forest (which was not really white, but brillant shades of green) they were promptly stoped by a guard. She looked to be another race, not of anything close to humans...more like a dragon of some sort?
"You may not enter unless you have the key to the forest. The Wisdom Vadisse does not take kindly to strangers."
Lisa steped up to the guard and smiled, holding up the cane. "We have the key, Sierra. Now, may we please enter? I've got some business with Vadisse, and the others are on a quest."
Sierra nodded, allowing the group to enter the forest, trailing behind them.
When they arrived near the lair of Vadisse, Sierra stoped everyone but Lisa. The look on her face never seemed to change, only getting more serious as she spoke. "You may not go any further unless you have business with Vadisse. And the only way out of this forest is past Vadisse...so you must prove your worth to me. You see, I had some blocks when I was a child...my brother...he hid them somewhere in this forest years ago...and I wish to speak with him. He is in the next town, Domina...and I believe that is where you wish to go next." She pointed back at the way they had come from. "Search this forest and find the blocks. Bring them to me and you may pass."

"Tha' was pretty easy," Eriol commented on the way to the forest. "If everythin's like tha', we'll be done'no time!"
Remus muttered under his breath in reply, annoyed about being woken from his nap. "It'd better be."
"Quiet," Ying hissed as the Dragoon began to speak. She hadn't been able to help the first young woman they met, but she'd be darned if she couldn't help this one.

Astral blinked at the pouch that had been set in her hands before turning her eyes up towards the unfamiliar voice. So much to keep up with at once, it was almost diztying. Blocks, so they need to find...blocks? This woman looked way to old to want to actually play with them, but oh, well. If something has to be found, Astral wanted to help as much as she could.
Again, the wiggling started, grumbling at Maya. She didn't need to be held all the bloody time. She might not talk that much, but she wasn't a baby. "Put me down," Astral demanded, glaring squarely at the slack-jawed expression on the birdgirl's face as she set the child to the forest floor.
"If something needs to be found, I'm sure we can find it. We're all certainly small enough to fit in every crack and creaves," Astral said with a definative nod before falling silent again.

Holding the pouch from the junkyard, Kira swung her legs and arms freely as she and her companions gathered in a forest. Upon entering, a strange woman stopped them, asking for some sort of key. A key to enter a forest? That's unheard of. Then the woman spoke again, more serious than ever. Something about finding some blocks? Why would there be blocks in the forest? It didn't matter though, she was getting a hang of this scavanger hunt event.
The child Jumi stared with amazment at the woman, they needed to find blocks? She's on it!
The male companion just stood there, yawning. All they got was some old pouch, humph. He wanted something more, something of value. But maybe if they find these blocks the girl spoke of, they will be rewarded with something more?

Rin clutched her pouch close, carefully following Ying and keeping her eyes on the ground. She hadn't been able to help with the last item finding, so she doubted she could help this time around either. But this pouch was pretty, in a plain sort of way.
Maybe they were pretty blocks, that would be easy to find. Rinsei kept that in mind as she crept quietly away into the forest to go look for them.

Jeua, what where the kids on ?!?
Or, well, it was probably because most of them had rides, and she, on the other hand, did not. A bad planning on her part, she muttered under her breath, but straightned up as the dragon spoke.
"Alright, m'lady... We'll find ya these blocs in no time at all, ya just watch ! Me an my mates are good at that !"
...After all, how hard could finding a few blocs be ?
With this thought in mind, Tsumi began searching, systematicly looking in order of interest, to the places that would have sprung to mind if she had to hide a treasure in this forest.
((Im so sorry guys, but rl's been kicking my a**... Ill straighten myself up, I swear.))

After almost being left behind, Tellah, huffing and puffing, finally caught up with everybody else. She managed to catch that there was something about finding some blocks, and mentally groaned. She could barely find things that SHE had been certain she'd put up. But she supposed she'd best make an effort, after all her lagging.

When some of the members of the other groups began searching for those blocks, Kira pointed in a random direction, shouting "Yonder!" Despite the fact that they had no idea where to start, starting even in the most random direction could prove to be helpful...once in a while.
Grumbling at his caretaker's stupidity, he merely followed her lead, all in the meanwhile pondering why he ever got stuck with such a STUPID person, and why the hell he was carrying a half-pint brat on his back. "Oi, bret, when ya gonna git off en wolk on joor own?" He glared at the approaching trees, pretending they were Emarude.
Sighing mentally, she prayed to the Mana Goddess that Kira knew what she was doing. She had a tendency to get people lost. Since they were in a forest, the chances are even higher of them getting lost.
When Kyou grumbled and shouted for Emarude to get off, she asked softly, "Then will you let me off?" When Kyou knelt down to let her off, she took her Esmerelda plush to one hand, and held Kyou's large palm with the other. Maybe they'll find the blocks that lady was looking for, afterall they had Kyou in their group.

Ying dismounted, landing on the soft, mossy ground with a small "ooof." If the lady needed those blocks, she would find them. And if she couldn't find them... no, she would find them. She had to.
Discarding her bag, she started to search. Behind trees, stuck in the branches, caught in rocks or taller patches of grass... there were so many places for them to hide. Where could they be?

After Mesmerelda securly fashioned the pouch around Dawn's neck she jumped to the ground. "Oh boy! More toys! I'm sure we can find them!" She said as she went off and crawled under a particularlly shady looking bush.

Rinsei had carefully climbed up into a tree, to better see with, or so she thought. It was very pretty from up here, but sadly, no blocks. Some of the leaves next to her rustled, and she froze, suddenly feeling very vulnerable away from her group and the other Jumi. A black and red bird flew out at her, and she screamed, nearly falling out of the tree.
She grasped the nearest branch with both small hands, clinging to it for dear life. The ground wasn't that far down, but to a little Jumi it was. Being startled by the bird had taken her breath away, and she struggled to regain the branch and her balance.

Mesmerelda crawled out from under the bush, alas finding no blocks. As she began to look around he gaze caught upwards. Was that... "RIN!" She shouted, seeing her friend swaying two and fro on a branch high above her. She looked to her left and saw Dawn which she called over, maybe she could help get her friend down, for she looked like she was in trouble.

Boyan held his group's pouch; he trusted Melody, and he trusted Arc... just not with objects they could easily drop considering how enthusiastic they were about searching.
He chuckled slightly as he too joined in the hunt.
Pulling the hem of her skirt above her knees so she could move better, Melody began rushing through the forest; being certain to stay close, but also wanting to get a better view of her surroundings. These blocks had to be SOMEWHERE!
Perhaps they were...?
She suddenly jerked her head upward, her gaze meeting that of her father's.
Boyan caught the hint. With a nod, he tucked the bag into his belt, dropped to his knees, and began to dig through the soil with his bare hands.
Not to be outdone, Arc lowered her headphones. She was going to show them! She'll dig too, and she'll find those blocks f--
Her gaze suddenly snapped to the Jumi in the tree.
"....Whoa!" She called out, rushing forward. "You 'kay up there?"

(( 'Scuse Rena for being bad and not posting when DS told her. D: It's the end of school, so I've been rushing to get as much work done as I can so I can pass. ))
Crystal pulled a map out from her bad and studied it for a moment. "Guys!" She called out to everyone, hoping she could help.
"If we all split up, we might have a better chance of finding the blocks..." She pointed at her map. It was divided up into 9 sections. Each was a different part of the forest. "If each group goes to one part of the forest, we can search faster."
Map
1..........................2..........................3
4..........................5..........................6
7..........................8..........................9
Each group, please post which number you wish to search. <3 One group per number please!

Mesmerelda, forgetting all about rin for the moment rushed over to Crystal.
"I call number one!" She told her excitedly. "Because I am number one!" She added with a wink before she rushed off to that spot on the map.
"Come on Dawn! Help me look!" She told her, getting on her hands and knees inspecting every spec of her area.
"But...BUt...your friend!" Dawn tried to say before she bounded over to Mesmerelda.
