Welcome to Gaia! ::

Illyria

Illyria shivered at the thought of Beira's world. She straightened though when it looked like the jackalope had once again loped off and left them to their own devices. Instead of feeling disappointed though she thought carefully about what Beira asked of her. It wasn't a pleasant memory, not really, but she figured it was good learning experience for anyone.

"Well, it was rather strange. A bunch of powered folk just up disappeared for like a night. We all found ourselves on this world that was called Astraya. It was populated by seemingly sentient robots that were hoping our arrival was the herald to the start of their final trial they had to work through. What we didn't know at the time is that for them to apparently pass this trial, they had to gain starseeds as they didn't have their own."

Illyria shivered in remembrance of what had happened to her on Astraya before closing her eyes tightly, "it wasn't exactly a grand old time or anything like the celebration that the robots had wanted to celebrate. Eventually everyone was returned home, some more traumatized than others."

The woods seemed to hold its breath as Tjilaki crept forward, her eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of movement. The tension in the air was palpable, the silence broken only by the soft whisper of leaves overhead. She moved with a grace born of years of training, her footsteps soundless on the forest floor.

Mechelen Squire of Lysithea

"I thought I saw it," Mechelen muttered to Halle, wrinkling her nose as she once again didn't see any sign of the purple ribbon...honestly, maybe that was okay, since...she wasn't all about winning anything or whatever...it was fun, what they were doing. This whole exploring another world was awesome, and even though she had hoped to see Celadon here and maybe spend some time with the older girl, it was okay that she hadn't.

"Any luck with you, Halle?"

Hierapolis was a tree, grounded, rooted in place, then he thought, for just a moment he has spotted it. At least, he saw something darting that he could have sworn had something purple on it. The instinct to give chase was strong, but he was a tree, grounded, rooted in place. After all, maybe it was just any other critter trying to get away from the weird people tromping around their home.

[he just barely sees the jackalope]

Emain Ablach, Squire of Earth

He was, frankly, more focused on Promethei and Imhotep being nearby than he was on the jackalope task before them. Emain Ablach still thought heading toward other people was a good idea, but was it so bad if he hoped maybe the jackalope would just hand itself over?

Promethei, Squire of Mercury

Promethei was fairly sure that the two who were walking nearby him were more concerned about each other than they were about a jackalope. Emain Ablach kept glancing in their direction as if it would explain what was happening there. Imhotep kept up his habit of looking literally anywhere else but Emain Ablach.

Either way, neither of them was looking for a jackalope particularly well.

... That being said, that wasn't to say he was doing an outstanding job at finding it, either. He felt like he had so much more to discuss with Emain Ablach. He felt like he needed to apologize to Imhotep for forcing him to face Emain Ablach. He felt there was more to do and nothing dealing with a jackalope.

Did the one with the decor on it want to get a bit closer to the nearby mercurian bear, maybe?

Eternal Myrrha

Now, where could this animal be hiding? Myrrha pushed aside a bush and for her then frowned as no creature seemed to be hiding inside. Releasing the branch that she had held, Myrrha sighed before examining the surrounding area. It was a marvel that no one was getting lost on this hunt.
