Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was an explosion of sound on the other side of the door as the people inside reacted. Among the constant background sound of scuffling, voices arose. "I'll get it." "Papina! You know what I said!" "Mom! You know I can take care of myself!" "So?" Several grumbles. "Fine. I'll go get the scroll then." "Wha?" "It'd be easier to get my trust if you trusted me a bit more. One, I'm not a little kid who constantly needs to be watched over. Two, I can tell who's outside." There was a break of silence before a yelp of surprise burst forth. The door abruptly opened partway as Alarai hurried to see if Papina as right. "Nara?" She was in just a bit of disbelief. Nara was already back to unsealing? So soon? Papina could be seen flitting back and forth inside behind Alarai as she looked to see where that scroll got to now.

((*gives up on coloring Alarai's speech*))

Alarai was caught off guard at Nara's words for a moment before she regained control of herself. "Nono, now is good..." She just stood there blinking for a moment before thinking to open the door farther, especially after Nara shivered. She had just gotten the door open when Mr. Mysterious came up and somehow transfered his cloak to Nara - upon which Alarai just stood there slack-jawed as she stared transfixed at the exposed man. She finally managed a small squeak, which got Papina's attention. The ivy child came up behind Alarai, scroll case in one hand, and peered over Alarai's shoulder to see what had surprised her mother so badly. "Ah," was her only comment, having already seen Mr. Mysterious without his cloak before. She tapped her mother on the shoulder before pulling back some. "I think we should let them in Mother," she said drolly. Still stunned, Alarai stepped back the sideways several paces, clearing a path into the house. Papina blinked as she shifted her gaze to Nara and asked, "Should I go elsewhere, or will it be safe for me to be nearby when it happens?" Maybe afterwards she could finally ask more about Mr. Mysterious.

((*queries* Have had, or never had a problem?))

"Hello, Nara." Papina grinned back at Nara. She was glad to see the scroll relic up and about, although she had to hide a tint of worry for Nara's well-being. She had to raise an eyebrow in a mixture of worry and curiousity at Nara's answer, however. "I suppose there's a first time for everything..." she responded, wondering just what would happen with her being thrown into the mix. Hopefully her presence wouldn't drain Nara more then unsealings normally did. She fiddled some with the scroll case, wondering who was going to do what with the scroll exactly. She then noticed Mr. Mysterious shutting the door, and blinked at him, wondering if he had some place in mind for her.

Alarai was still in shock, but slowly the thought trickled into her mind that perhaps she was staring and should quit. She blinked before slowly shaking her head, bringing a hand up to rub at her eyes as she did. She wasn't quite sure what to make of the unhooded man, but she really needed to put that aside for now and concentrate on the unsealing. Later, she would remember hearing the door click shut, but for now she was intent on figuring out if there was a name already or not. "Did the previous guardian ever give this one a name?" she asked Nara, waving a hand vaguely in the scroll's direction, knowing that she should go with the previous name if there was one.

((K. *was figuring based off the rest of the sentence*))

"Huh," was the only response as Alarai thought. Just... left... at the Library? Who would do such a thing, and why? But this meant that she had to come up with her own name for the child. Since there was a moon on the scroll...

Papina nodded at Mr. Mysterious and pried the cover off before she gently slid the scroll out of it's protective casing. She put the case down next to her, unfurled the scroll itself, and walked over before kneeling to place the scroll exactly where he had pointed. She then got up and stepped back to where she had been before, resting a sweaty palm near the case as she waited for the next step. She was a bit anxious over the whole thing, but if Mr. Mysterious and Nara were calm over all this... she would be too.

Alarai nodded when Nara said it should be like last time. They had been in particular spots last time... She looked around her, trying to figure out where she should be standing for this.

Alarai stepped over to where she was directed, hoping she got it right. Yet she couldn't help but wonder why Nara always seemed to have itchy hands during this. Maybe because of the origin of the mist?

Papina nodded back at Nara, giving a wavering smile in return. One way or another, the time was upon them. As soon as the three were in place, the mist came forth again. Papina blinked and nearly leaned back as a tendril of mist came her way, but something happened to make it wrap around her mother instead. Her whole body jerked at the sound of a thump from the center of the mist and she barely had time to react before the mist literally snapped back to Nara. She hesitated a split second, wondering if it would be safe for either of them if she did so, before she went over to Nara, making sure she wouldn't fall down. She knew for a fact that floors could hurt if you hit them suddenly. She personally made sure she didn't trip over anything anymore.

Alarai felt the mist coil around her and heard the thump before her sight cleared, the mist having returned to wherever it had come from. She threw a worried look at Nara, but decided not to add to the head thumping that would happen from everyone going towards Nara at once and instead looked towards the center, where the scroll had been resting.

Papina stayed near Nara, helping as much as Nara would let her. Nara may say she's fine, and that may be true later, but Papina personally wasn't sure if Nara was fine at the moment. She risked a glance towards the only other scroll child in the room, the one that had just been unsealed. No green skin... Phooey.

Alarai cautiously moved towards the child, fairly certain she could move now. She knelt beside the child and looked over her closely to see if there was anything that showed she was a scroll child. A hand slowly moved towards the child on it's own before Alarai noticed and withdrew her hand. She wasn't certain yet if this one would appreciate her touch or not, but she really wanted to give her a hug.

((Okay. 3nodding ))

Papina nodded silently at Nara's thanks, and blinked before turning her head towards her mother. She was curious what name her mother would come up with.

Alarai pondered what to call this new one, and finally decided on a name. She gathered the child into her arms and kissed her one one temple before softly, yet clearly saying, "In honor of the moon, I shall name you Luna." She pushed some stray hairs away from the child and looked her in the eye. "Would you like that name... Luna?" she asked the moon child.

Luna giggled before nodding, shifting herself so she could get a better view of everything. There was so much to look at! She stuck a thumb in her mouth as she gazed at Nara with wide eyes. Nara felt just a bit like Mommy. The green girl felt kinda like a sibling, and the guy... the closest she could come was a daddy of sorts. She looked down at herself and tugged on her outfit with her free hand. When was this put on?
