Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Content with the number of couples she had found to travel with her sister, the princess turned instead to look for escort again. Ignoring him was terribly rude, she understood that, but her sister's safety would come before her manners everyday. Finding him, she moved to help him in his search. "Have you found what it is you seek?"]

Soon enough, though, with only a handful of pae remaining the fireflies came, illuminating around them like swarms of tiny starts. Their glow was calming, and Celestia's fear seemed to loose some of its strength with their light. They were showing the way, the path before unseen. Sighing, she looked back to her wings and her dress; neither would be having a good time. "I am to go on ahead, would you accompany me?" she addressed Aquos, pausing a moment for his reply before moving to the tunnel.

She emerged to a field of death, of beauty, of the most peculiar richness. All the forgery was dark, yet the detailed ornaments and the glowing lanterns promised that this used to be a very peaceful, calming park. Didn't the entire place used to be like that? Bending down, she picked up a feather of the golden sort, turning it about in her hand before moving to show it to her escort. "What do you make of this?"

Twinkleshine stood up as Atlantis left, her heart down quite a bit since the moon had come out. She didn't move, instead looking to the paths; squinting her eyes, she caught sight of a movement... Something white...? What could that be...? Her thoughts trailed off as her date returned, and she looked at the bag he carried. "What's that?" she asked, before returning to the trails, pointing to one. "I think I saw something white moving in that one... What do you think?"

She took her hand as she stood, looking to he path. "Are you sure it's a good idea? Maybe it's better to go through the thorns?" She looked down, sighing. "Though, that would certainly ruin the beautiful dress you bought me." Looking back up, she eyes the marbles, then returned her gaze to the now-empty, dark path.

Twinkleshine laughed lightly, shrugging. There would be no real reasoning, though, honestly, was there any solid reasoning for any of this: for this game? Ah well, at least this way they'd remain intact her dress wouldn't be ruined. Taking his arm, she paused, using the other to dramatically gesture to the path. "After you, m'protector."

Twinkleshine grinned, okay with that idea. "Y'know, it'd be nice if we had some light or a candle or -something-," she whined, looking around at the nothing around them. "I wonder when, if ever, we'll actually run into someone. Did we really go that far ahead of them? Or maybe they all went the other way."

Lifting her bottled wand closer to her face, she shook it slightly, pouting. "Yeah... Maybe they'll catch up soon enough... I wonder what this thing does anyways? It'd be really nice if it made me until a magical princess or something." Laughing, she nodded. "Yeah, all games need a magic girl." Going quiet, she imagined herself performing a corny transformation scene, wand in hand, before giggling to herself again.

Yipes picked up the white feather

Opal picked up the biscuits from the tray and put them in her pouch/dress.

Leitha and Cadassi choose option #5
Cadassi takes the antique silver perfume bottle. He also picks up a purple feather. ((if he can't have more than one item, ignore the feather comment))

Tocino picked up the pink feather

Azure + Brandy chose option number 12
Azure picked up the teal feather.


Azure looked at the lit up box, the fog that was heavy on the ground, blocking the source of the light seemed like something to avoid. Last time he had been in a fog, he ended up here. It didn't seem worth it to him to wander through the fog to get to a box that had who knows what in it. He looked at Brandy, "Let's keep going, this doesn't feel safe." Azure could tell that his partner wanted to continue down the lit path, it looked safe... too safe.

While Azure couldn't claim to know what was going on, in his stomach the other path made more sense to him, it was just darker. "Come on Brandy, I think we should go this way." He pointed to the dark path, "Maybe your hair will light the way." It was a joke, but his voice still sounded serious. As Azure passed the hedge he noticed a teal feather sticking out of. "Hmm," the pae did like all things blue... he plucked it out of the hedge and then turned around to his partner. "I know you don't want to be here... I don't really want to be either, I just couldn't say no to your mom..." he tried to converse with his partner to break up the clear tension that was between them. They were going to have to work as a team to get through this.
