Welcome to Gaia! ::

Namine saw all of the other people trying to make sense of what was going on. She was obviously not going to get any help from them. They seemed to be as confused as she was and dealing with their own transformations. Namine felt the strange urge to dip herself in the water. She dragged herself into it. Ah this feels quite nice but I can't stay in here forever. I need to be able to get around. I need to be able to walk on legs. Her tail jerked as something began to happen. Namine's eyes widened as a light spread from her fins and up her torso. It lifted her gently and started to change her. Her fin split chaging itself into slender legs. Light armor covered her arms and legs and silk the color of blood covered her body. Her hair had changed from the texture it had before to her previous long red locks. In her hair she found trinkets made to seem as such, but which were actual weapons. Sharp needles and daggers. When she was set down her appearance from mermaid to human was drastic. All that remained were the pointed ears that protruded slightly from her hair. Namine made her way to the group. She hoped someone knew what was happening. Suddenly a figure appeared and explained the strange occurence. But what did he mean by the two worlds in danger. This has to be a dream, she thought, im dreaming about a freaking game. Namine pinched herself and came to the realization that she was wrong.

J.J thought about it for a moment.

"Maybe..."

He replied with a small sigh as he looked around at the others, curious to know, also, what the figurre meant.

Namine moved closer to the crowd and stared at the locket the guy was holding. "So you're telling me we've been brought here somehow, transformed into this, and were suppoesd to save both our world and this world. Excuse me but it sound like im stuck in a final fantasy video game. Not to mention he wasn't to clear as to how were supposed to do this." Namine sighed. She wondered why exactly she was chosen for this. She could have been finishing her self portrait instead of dealing with all this fantastical nonsense. But im not the only one here who is as confused. Everyone must be suffering internally trying to figure out what to do next. She rubbed her temples thinking that there must be a method to this insanity. "Im Namine..Namine De L' Cor. Former artist in France and now by all appearances a mermaid. It seems a good idea for us to cooperate with each other in order to find out the whole truth and our purposes here." She stared at the people around her wondering what each would choose to do.

"Do I have any homework?" Timmy asked. His friend and locker-partner, Will, sighed behind him.
"How would I know what homework you have?! We have like, two of the same classes!"
Timmy grinned and grabbed his math book and English book. "I usually have these two so we'll just take them and see." He turned around and slammed the locker closed with his foot. Him and Will shrugged their packs on and walked out of the crowded school onto the steps outside, leading down into beautiful school courtyard.
"So, got anything planned this weekend?" Timmy asked Will. Will opened his mouth to answer, but Timmy never heard the response. He suddenly felt dizzy and stumbled. He tried to stay up but couldn't and plummeted down toward the marble stairs. He shut his eyes... and shut his eyes... and... OK, where's the big hit? He still felt like he was falling, but where was the-

-----

"Oof!" Ah, there's the ground. But it was soft and wet... like grass. But that wasn't possible. He opened his eyes and bent his head to look forward. Through the veil of grass, he could see a few people moving around and talking. He could have sworn one had wings, and one was a mermaid. Well that's weird, he thought idly, still not quite believing enough to get up. He blew a string of yellow hair out of his face, which simply fell back insufferably. Wait... yellow hair? That, more than anything, finally made him stand up. He looked down at himself and ran his hands over his clothes, which were brown and dark red with a lot of buckles that he wasn't sure was useful. He touched a buckle and put his hand back as a bit of static shock pricked him. He tried again with the same results. Ooookay... weird... this is one weird dream. I wonder if I'm in a coma or somethin'? Well it's interesting, so lets not try to wake up yet...

Timmy walked over to the group of people who were talking about somethin'. "Hey!" he said brightly. "What's up, dream-people?"

Timmy listened to the mermaid-girl talk and slowly raised an eyebrow. For one, she had a French accent, but as far as he could tell was speaking Chinese. Secondly: Not a dream, huh? he thought. That's just what a dream-person would s- His thoughts were interrupted as he accidentally touched his buckles and got shocked again. Got to remember not to touch those things. That kind of hurt!
... Wait... weren't things not supposed to hurt in dreams? He took a deep breath. He had to admit, this didn't feel like any dream he'd ever had before.
Alright... I'm a rationally guy. Maybe it's not a dream. Doubt wanted to argue with him some more, but bottom line was: he was here, he'd have to deal with it.

Timmy walked over to the girl who looked the most normal ((Anne)). In mock whisper he asked, "Um... what's going on?"

Liam had heard Namine and was closely inspecting the locket. It was heavy, and no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't open it. The inscriptions around it seemed Runic, and were totally incomprehensible.
"I don't think we'll have any luck with this..." He put the piece down, and eyed the newcomer just as a girl thumped to the floor not too far away. It was starting not to surprise him.

Anne opened her mouth to answer the new boy when the girl appeared a bit further away. It was actually starting to get annoying. Even though she didn't realize it, her eyes began to darken to a deep amber tone. She felt her hands heat and stared at them, dismayed. She had the feeling it wasn't just her clothings that were different.
"No one of us really knows. We were going about our life when we found ourselves here, one by one. So far, there is no relation between any of us that can explain it. A ghost-like figure appeared and rambled about we being in a new world and having to save the day. I, for one, am still waiting to wake up. I have a test tomorrow, I have to study!" She spoke loud and clear enough for the girl to hear also; if she had to repeat any of it again, she'd loose it for sure.

((I am off to bed. You can start searching for the river, if you want; it's about 200meters away in the direction of Namine's small pool of water. Tip: follow the sound.))

Namine ran a hand through her hair in frustration. People were literally dropping left and right. They were all humans brought here for some heroic purpose. Not only that but they were changed into mythical creatures. "I dont know about you guys but im starting to get slightly annoyed with this. Each fall brings a new member to the party and each time we explain the situation it justs makes less sense." Namine turned to look at everyone.
She was the only mermaid. She wondered how it was that each transformation was chosen for them. She didn't quite know what to make of it. One thing is for certain they needed to ally themselves to each other. Taking charge Namine speaks up "Ok I say we device a plan before moving along. We have all been brought here for the same reason. As such we should all stick together... but in the event that we become seperated we should most definetely have a back up plan. Therefore I propose we create smaller groups of 2 or 3 people. These people will stick together regardless of the situation. Problem is who wants to ally with who. Think clearly. We all possess different abilities and as such the group should have people who possess different skills. That way there will be a balance between negative and positive aspects of our transformations." That being said Namine waited for those around her to make up their minds.
