Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your Gaia Name: TheMadHatter
Characters: Thea
Your RP paragraph:
She'd left her two friends for some much needed alone time and headed down to the beach. Alone meaning now with anything else around because Van's family should have been way at the other end of the beach. Alone didn't mean that someone should be screaming for help while she was trying to relax. "Ugh ....." Shaking her shore mane out she turned around and blinked as she saw two large birds trying to make off with clam shells that were much larger than they were. It took a moment longer for her to notice the half fish half twolegger thing that was flailing about in the surf. If she didn't help and Kal found out about it she'd get an ear full.

"You don't have to yell you know .... well maybe you do but anyway." She trotted up the beach toward the fishboy and the offending birds. They weren't that high and even if they did mage to get up there she could too. Getting herself under one of the shells she butted her head against it and jarred the bird who had a hold of it. The osprey's offended squark made her grin and she butted the shell again. "Come on you featherhead, put that down. You couldn't eat it even if you wanted to and you know it!" It would have taken both birds to get the shell open and whatever was in it would go bad before they could finish it off.

She continued to huff at the birds and knock the shells with her head until she could get her wings ontop of them. That way she could push down while the birds pushed up and hopefully tire them out. They'd have to let go and give up, she was bigger after all. Once she got one shell low enough she nipped at the birds tail feathers. "'et'oooo!" The shell thunked against the sand at her feet and she grinned as she spit out the birds feathers. "Teach you to bite off more than you can chew." Now, for the other birdbrain ......
Which kelpi shell do you want?: Wahoo

Your Gaia Name: Skye Starrfyre
Characters: Telikos & Tapanga
Your RP paragraph: He wasn't quite sure why he had come to the beach that day. There had to be some reason. Oh yes... That's right. He had promised Lady Luck that he would find something to distract Tapanga... Which was why Tapanga had come along with him on his venture.

Her eyes went wide as a gleam of light hitting something shiney caught her attention. "Mine!" She darted towards it, paying no mind to the great, swooping birds or the flailing boy. "MINE!" She demanded insistantly as she fluttered about, trying to shoo the birds away.

He hadn't expected... Oh, hell, who was he kidding. He had indeed expected Tapanga to flutter off somewhere and lose herself. Truthfully, he would have preferred it had she done so but now she had gotten herself into trouble and he? He was going to have to get her out of it.

He stomped at the beach, kicking up sand before lowering his horn to charge. The birds still seemed low enough to be within striking range. Whatever it was they were trying to drag off seemed to be weighing them down... Taking aim he charged across the beach, sand kicking up around him. It was time to bowl for buzzards.

Your Gaia Name: Rapidashtrainer
Characters: Elan (Thelerian’s Hawk Familiar)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/Rapidashtrainer/therlian.jpg

Your RP paragraph:

Its gills moved with a laboured rhythm as it tried to get what moisture it could out of the cold dry autumn air. However, when clutched between the terrifying talons of a hawk, even the fish, simple as it was, could see that it was a lost cause.

Elan shifted his position slightly to accommodate the weak struggling of his prey. It was indeed a magnificent fish, so full of life and determination to live. And as expected, it had given Elan a good fight. Now, Elan was tired…and hungry.

As the hawk was about to sink his beak into his well earned prey, a series of frantic shouts and cries could be heard. Curious, Elan (with the fish still clutched in his talons) moved closer to the sound of the commotion. At first glance, the hawk had perceived the problem to be with the two-legger. Elan didn’t blame him; his lower body was already half consumed by a great fish and the fish was no doubt trying to work its way up the rest of the human by trashing about in the water in a frantic sort of way. Upon a more detailed observation however, Elan soon realized that the problem was not as obscure as he had initially perceived. The human was making jabbing motions in the air where two ospreys were evidently making off with some large shells belonging to him. And upon those shells were placed a set of rare looking shining stones. As far as Elan could tell, humans do not willingly place shiny stones on shells or on any other things unless they were deemed important. Perhaps what was being contained and protected within those shells was something of immense value to this human. He was after all forgetting that he was being eaten by a fish…

Elan shifted his weight and blinked his fierce brown eyes as he observed the scene before him. Should he help the human retrieve those shells from the ospreys? Oh, Elan knew what would make those ospreys relinquish their prize but…he was reluctant to do it. Digging his talons into his catch (still alive but no longer struggling), Elan was torn between helping the noisemaking human and keeping his prey.

A sudden shrill but triumphant cry from one of the ospreys however finally made Elan side with the human. Those ospreys had no right to mock others and they were in his hunting territory after all!

Taking flight, Elan returned their cry with a screech of his own and once he was certain that he had caught their attention, Elan (heavy-hearted as he was) released his catch. If all went well, the two ospreys would make for the fish and release their hold on those shells. The shells would then drop back onto the watery sand where the human would no doubt be able to retrieve it.

Your Gaia Name: Reeve_Tuesti
Characters: Tal {My Indian persona} & Rajiv {My garnet stallion}
Which kelpi shell do you want?: Both are gorgeous and I would be thrilled with either, but the stripes on the Wahoo shell make it even better. *pets the stripes* XD
Your RP paragraph:
"HELP HELP!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!"
Tal gave a yelp at the piercing cry and promptly dropped the armload of driftwood he'd been carrying from the beach. Why had he been collecting driftwood? He found it made rather beautiful decorations when carved and burned surprisingly well when his carvings turned out not quite so beautiful. And this spot always caught the biggest selection. Rajiv had grazing nearby on a patch of sparse sea grass, keeping one eye on his ungainly two-legger, who always seemed to be getting into trouble. He gave a snort and lifted his head, one ear tilting back as Tal dropped his burden with a cry. It was almost as piercing as the cry echoing from further down the beach.

Recovering from his shock, Tal took off down the beach, bare feet kicking up sand, Rajiv at his heels. Skidding to a halt, the young Indian blinked at the half fish/half person creature shouting on the beach before he ducked as two large forms swept overhead, barely missing him. His soquili was not so lucky, giving a loud whinny of pain/surprise as he was smacked into, stumbling back a pace or two. A speckled blue and white shell fell to the sand at their feet, the osprey giving a sharp screech of annoyance at loosing it's prize. Rajiv snorted and reared, pawing at the escaping birds, Tal chortling at him still. "Serves you right for being so tall." He chuckled before blinking, raising a brow slightly. The other bird was carrying another one of those strange shells....The realization hit him like an overenthusiastic foal. That must be what the strange fish man had been yelling about.

"Alright then." He muttered to himself, eyes sweeping over the sand. Sand, that strange shell, more sand, but no rocks to throw...Maybe he could manage with shells washed up on shore. Rocks were better, but he'd make due. Grabbing up a handful of shells, he started pelting the remaining osprey with them, much to the bird's dismay. "Come on! Drop it already!" He shouted, hurling a particularly spiny shell at the retreating bird, who squawked and released it's hold on the striped shell. It fell into the ocean with a splash. "Urg." Tal made a face as the shell hit the water, wincing at the splash. Staring at the spot the shell had fallen, he hoped that the fish man would be so grateful that the shell was safe, that he'd retrieve it and not ask why the Indian boy hadn't gone in and gotten it.

Tal had a good reason why...He couldn't swim after all.

Your Gaia Name: Eff Em
Characters: Korofi and Slytherin
Your RP paragraph:

“Hey, hey!" Korofi shouted over his shoulder at the charging Kalona. "I'm just saying, I think you could teach me a lot! No need to get all huffy!”

"Stupid, pathetic boy," Slytherin snarled, scarlet eyes narrowed. "Why would I waste my time on you? I’m warning you, don’t bother me again!” He slowed down as Korofi crossed onto the sand. He found the beach rather distasteful, reeking of salt and fish. The stallion wasn’t that worthy of being pursued.

Koro huffed. “It wouldn’t be a waste!” he said. “Just because I don’t have horns and wings doesn’t mean I’m inferior. Just give me a chance! I could prove that I…”

The screeching of the ospreys distracted him. What was that all about? He turned to look, blinking in surprise at the great birds struggling to carry the shells away. What a rush it would be to fight them and win over the glimmering shells! In an instant he forgot the green Kalona and was rushing out onto the sand, a battle scream erupting from his mouth. He barely even noticed the shouting Ajadi.

Slytherin snorted, pinning his ears back. Not only did the runt think he was well-bred enough to deserve his teaching, but he had the gall to run off, distracted by some stupid birds? No, no, that wouldn’t do. Even the thought of the beach didn’t deter him from running forward, bypassing the blue and white stallion quickly. He, too, let out a loud cry, baring his fangs at the birds. His leathery wings beat loudly and he lashed his tail. It wasn’t long until the birds had dropped the shells, which thankfully landed in soft piles of sand, unharmed.

But he didn’t care about the shells. He had only wanted to spite the stallion. Turning to him, he curled his lip back. “Don’t bother trying to be the hero,” he said coldly. “There will always be someone better than you.”

Korofi flattened his ears, both angry and embarassed. But before he could make a retort, Slytherin had turned and stomped away.

Mumbling angrily under his breath, he turned to look at the fallen shells, but they were gone, as was the strange man-fish. But that didn't bother him, only the shame from being so easily bested by the green stallion.

Your Gaia Name: DemeterJade
Characters: Nirvelli (Indian persona)
Your RP paragraph:
Nirvelli was out gathering fruit for the Kawani tribespeople when she heard a cry for help coming from the beach. Not knowing what she would see, she ran lightly to a spot behind a tree where she could peer out at the sand. The sight that greeted her made her instantly rush from her cover, spilling her foraged food to the ground. She noticed the merlock and she wondered just what he was, he seemed to come from myths, but her main concern was for the two shells that the osprey were trying to carry away. The two birds were too much for her to handle on her own but she had no idea if she would have enough time to get help in saving the shells.
She looked around for anything or anyone that could help her, her eyes alighting on a patch of driftwood. She thought about using it to chase the birds but was afraid of them harming the shells or in her clumsyness, hitting the shells herself. The birds were starting to get away when she remembered her gathering basket. Running back to where she had dropped it, she quickly stripped the leaves off a few of the nearby bushes and threw them into the basket, making sure that she didn't pack them down but that there was a lot in there.
She raced back to the beach and grabbed a piece of driftwood, before running directly at the large birds. Her movements led her closer to the osprey that was trying to take the green shell away but she was hoping that she could throw her basket close enough to being under the blue shell. As she got nearer, she started yelling angrily at the birds, ordering them to drop the shells as they weren't for them to eat. She came closer and threw her basket one-handedly, spilling the gathered leaves in a semi-pile nearly under the other bird. Inside she was praying that her trying to scare the birds into dropping the shells would work and she could at least catch the green one with the blue landing safely on the leaves.
A few more steps to go.. her mind was racing as fast as her feet, "Please don't let the shells be harmed"

Your Gaia Name: Lunarflowermaiden
Characters: Calantha
Your RP paragraph:
Ever since the event at the beach, Calantha and Ardin made sure to go down to the beach every day, halting their travels through the lands for the time being. Today was no different, only it was very early in the morning and Ardin was still asleep, Calantha had set off on her own, knowing Ardin would sleep for several more hours.

She slowly made her way down the beach, staring out at the ocean from time to time, looking for any sign of life. It was only when she heard the two-legger's cry for help, that she saw them a good hundred yards down the beach. She watched as the two-legger defended two shells from two large ospreys, and soon realized it was the fish prince from several days ago.

Calantha knew she had to help the young fish-prince, since he really was a fish out of water, against foes that could fly. Knowing she had to act fast she started to gallop forward, but she was usually not one to act without thinking it through first. She knew she didn't want to harm the birds, being quite at home up in the sky with the birds, she had befriends many. But she also didn't want any harm to come to the shells, knowing the precious lives stored within. Her thoughts were quickly drowned out by the screach of one of the birds, she watched it's talons scraped noisely against the fragile shell.

It was decided in that moment, that if she had to she would harm the birds, but never kill them. She galloped as fast as she could, before launching herself in the air, hoping she could scare them off with a few quick dives and nips at their tail feathers. Only time would tell.
