Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oriana stood up, walked to the shelf nearest her, and pulled a whole row off the shelf setting it on a cart and pushed it over to her, "Here... That's a start." She then returned to her desk, flipped open her folder and continued reading.

Just as Hali almost had her top out of the hook it got yanked out of her hands. she growled and gave chase, but it started sinking. when she dove to grab it it jolted up and forward. it continued this intricate dance along the lake till she finally grabbed it and twisted her arm around the line it was snagged to. "Ha! Try escaping now!" she challenged while continuing to untangle her straps. there was a slight pull on the line, and when it started to hurt her hand... instead of just letting the hook have her top she swam away with the line. as far and deep as she could.

Hali hissed and eventually began getting overpowered. She nervously grabbed at anything she could, weeds, rocks, sand, but nothing could slow her down. Eventually, she felt her tail stick up on the land and she yanked back on the line, but found that she couldn't get her tail back into the water.

Feeling stuck she released the line from her arm and sighed laying there on shore.

Oriana heard this annoying squeaking noise of the cart pass her room for the fifth time and threw her paperwork. she pushed her chair back and walked to the door. taking a few breaths to calm herself she exhaled and opened the door, "Why do you keep coming by my door?"

Oriana sighed, "See the end of the hall there... " Oriana pointed to the left and sighed, "That's the beginning to the southern stairwell... going down it will take you to the grand stairway and then the northern wing is right up the north stairwell. Your room is in the northern wing." she grumbled, "If you need anything else... Just knock..." Oriana slid back into her room and closed the door softly behind her.

The top that Kaiser threw back into the water sunk. there was a bit of shuffling around, then the green stuff floating on the surface of the clear water rose up and two blue eyes turned and faced him, "Meanie... " it whimpered as It flicked it's hair back to reveal a very decorative young woman with long flowing green hair and bright sapphire blue eyes. she flipped over onto her back and laid back into the water to get her hair straight back, "Now why'd you go and snag my top! Was that some kind of a joke!" she growled, "It wasn't very nice..."

She opened a bag she had with her and slipped a cloth around her waist, her legs instantly reverted from their once tail form and she walked over to him, "Are you telling you're fishing in my lake, and that I got caught on your hook... that was in my lake." she stared at him intensely awaiting an answer.

She paused for a moment... rather irritated, 'Hell, I was gonna be like, I was just kidding... but that's just irritating...' With flared nostrils and wide eyes she took the line and broke it, then took the strand with the hook and dove into the water, swimming out to the middle of the lake.

She began blowing bubbles in the water and dove under. about ten minutes later Kaiser's bell began to ring. just softly as though it were nothing more than a little guppy, but the line was going out pretty fast.

Kaiser cautiously stared at the pole, but then took hold and reeled.

everything was normal, until the line got to a shallower part of the lake. the line shot out and up surfaced a large water beast that was ferociously pissed off that a hook had been snagged on his whisker. it flailed about roaring and growling while trying to shake free from kaiser's line.

Hali slid up on shore letting her fin tap the water softly, "Well, That's quite the catch there sir... Good luck with it." she smiled sweetly and turned her attention back to the flailing monster.

Hali smiled and nodded, "Or you could just apologize and I'll behave..." she noticed his ears and blushed. Her fins reverted to legs and she stood up, staring at Kaiser's ears.

finding herself completely wound up in his fascinating ears her hands became uncontrollable and drifted upward to his head slowly. her fingers began twitching as they neared their target, and right as she was about to clamp onto their wonderfulness... a little squirt of water hit her in the face.

Her eye twitched. the sensation of wanting to touch the fluffies vanished and her attention snapped to the water to see two large eyes resting on the water's edge. she dropped her hands and smirked, "Funny.... Real funn-"

Hali launched into the water and latched onto the eyes. the large beastie water dragon shot up out of the water and body slammed into the depths...
