Welcome to Gaia! ::

Toshi jumped in surprise when she felt the tiny warmth land on her foot, and stared in wonder as the creature was licking her, apparently. "Hello, Shy!" She chirped quietly, smiling back at the other girl before shuffling her foot a little and trying not to disturb the delicate creature resting there, "I-I'm alright I suppose. I'm a little afraid of the dark, you see, and well... It may have just been my paranoia, but I could have sworn that someone was moving around out there. I tried not to let it get to me, but when it seemed like the noises were getting closer and closer, I just freaked out and ran for the nearest house I could find!" The girl put a hand to her chest as if the motion alone would quell her suddenly furiously beating heart again. The warm feeling against her leg brought her attention back down to the little feline and she smiled down at it. "Your little cat is very cute... How did you get it so tiny though, just like those other ones... Were there dogs too?" She began, trailing off into wondrous murmurs, more to herself as she tried to figure it out.

Damien was rather bold and jumping out of his tank he wanted to know what everyone else was up to, so instead of finding out what it was they were up to, he decided to rather yell, "HELLO is anyone here?". Perking his ears up he listened intently for a response of any kind.

Talencia watched the others quietly, but nearly fell over when someone rushed in, practically slamming the door behind themselves. She edged nearer to Toshi and Shy as they talked. There was something outside? She cast an uneasy glance at the door, then at all the fragile little critters running about. Hopefully they all were safe inside.

Still feeling uncertain and slightly out of place, she found herself a fluffy chair and settled into it, watching the small creatures dart around, and listening to the conversation. It sure seemed that everyone was excited about one thing or another. There was something in the air... spooky and mysterious. She gave a shiver, both of anticipation and unease. Something was going to happen, she was sure of it!

She smiled down at Poppy before anwering Toshi amist all the noise. "I'm not sure how they got so small. They seem to be quite resiliant though." A splashing sound caught her attention and she glance over just in time to see a tiny finned whimsie heading up some stairs. She almost said something but Talencia caught her eye, distracting her from the wandering whimsie. "Hello, do you think there's something out there? Toshi thought there was something too."

Poppy finally uncurled herself from the humans foot and pounced back across the room to her sister. "Adore, are you gonna come explore with us? It'll be fun!"

Adore was sitting a little outside of the circle of whimsies with her tail wrapped around her. She wasn't as adventurous as Poppy but she didn't want to be left out either.

The Blonde-haired girl stared wondrously as the tiny cat jumped off her foot and went to talk with another it seemed. She noticed other people in the shop as well now and observed them quietly, wondering as well if anyone else knew something about who or whatever had frightened her here in the first place. It was then that a sudden volley of strange sounds seemed to echo through the room from one side of it. Toshi followed the sounds with widened blue eyes and found herself staring across the room at a door slightly ajar. "... The sound stopped..." She pointed out to noone in particular, then asked, "What was that?" She glanced about uncertainly before walking over to stand near Shy, seeing as she was the first and only other person she had talked to yet. "Oh my, this place isn't haunted is it?' She asked suddenly, feeding into mental images that began to flash in her mind of disfigured and strangely contorted versions of the tiny whimsical cats and dogs suddenly coming out of the walls and ceilings. A shiver made it's way up the girl's spine at the vividness of her imagination and it's ability to spook her.

Damien stopped and froze, cowering down with his belly on the floor. He was scared. Extremely scared. The noise seemed like an intrusion upon his silence, and he looked up in fear. There was something above him he could hear it. The clang of pipes rang out along the house. Following the sounds, he was led to the bathroom. His ears were plastered to his head, and his little mer tail was between his legs as he listened carefully. Carefully he peeked around the corner and looked into the bathroom...

Shy was frozen to the spot as odd things happened around the small shop. Unexplained sounds and flickering lights made her heart speed up and jump into her throat. She looked at Toshi with wide eyes, but no sound could pass the lump in her throat.

Suddenly, the noises stopped and Shy looked around the room. Many of the Whimsies were looking toward the wall that the sounds had come from, and the younger ones seemed to want to dissapear. A soft mewing at her feet caught her attention, and she bent to scoop up a freightened little Cimien.

Praecine's fur was standing on end and her ears were laid back as a warning to the unknown threat. She kept a close eye on brave Tahoe as he crept closer to the wall, Even though the sounds were gone, she was sure something was there.
