Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Haaa…not exactly sure all by myself.” Hel muttered, thinking about what Sal said about getting professional help. “I am going to design it…but I will probably contract others to build the foundation and frame and what not…” As Sibyl talked about her home, Hel looked thoughtful. Caves, huh? She snorted a bit. “Scary? Nah…more like inconvenient.” Blinking, the reaper watched as Sibyl leapt up and then started to flail.

Go…on an adventure. The ghoul stared. You know, it usually wouldn’t take her this long to throw herself into something that sounded fun. Hel’s brows furrowed. Huh. When did she start acting so…old?

Well…that settled it! Hel immediately leapt to her feet as well, and grinned widely at the ghoul. “Ya!”

“Ya!” Hel echoed excitedly once more, and was immediately on Sibyl’s heels, her casketball long forgotten. She couldn’t help but laugh as Sibyl tore open the gate more or less, and it was once she was outside it though that she paused. Hey wait a minute…what kind of adventure were they going on? Her lips pulled into a bit of a frown.

“…Ah!” The ghoul immediately spun on her heel and leaned towards Sibyl, grinning widely. “So tell me, little ghoul…have you ever been geocaching before?”

“Ya! It is this thing where others bury things…or put things in bushes or trees…and you go and find them, and then you can keep what you find! It is like…oh…treasure hunting, I suppose? Except—“ Here, Hel paused and held up a finger, because this was very important. “If you take something, you gotta leave something of yours in its place. Then you put it back into the hole or the tree or the bush or whatever, for someone else to find. Make sense?”

She didn’t care if it made sense or not, despite asking. She was already starting to head back towards her dorm, but she did look back over her shoulder at the selkie. “Go back to your room and gather some items you would not mind getting rid of! I will meet you at the entrance to the woods by the stone wall, okay?”

Hel was actually surprised to see Sibyl there before her. Huh! That ghoul was really enthusiastic, and that brought a small grin to her lips. That grin immediately disappeared though, as soon as she saw what appeared to be a mini in the box.

The reaper shifted her bag of items, and stared.

“…Uh…what is that doing there?”

A dark brow slowly rose into her bangs at that emotionless stare the Selkie was giving her. So…so…opposite of how she usually was. The ghoul looked back at the rather special looking mini. Somewhere, if she really thought about it…and if Sibyl was going to do to that mini what she thought, considering the box it was in…this was Mini-abuse.

Did Hel care?

…Not really.

She shrugged, and then grinned. “Alright then! Come this way now~”

The wingless valkyrie then led the Selkie into the woods, and along a well traveled path until they arrived at a certain area, and she stopped, turning towards her. “So this is an area you can geocache in…” She started. “You can tell for this one because the area is marked by orange ribbons on trees and bushes…now.” She held up a finger. “That does not mean there is treasure there…the ribbons simply mean that those are the ends of the area…so stay in the area, alright?”

Hel didn’t mind Sibyl singing at all…the enthusiasm was nice! Very refreshing!

“Ya!” Hel replied. “You can take and keep anything you want, as long as you put something back in its place….” The ghoul trailed off, looking a bit down the path. “…Huh…someone did not try so hard…come here!” She beckoned the ghoul over to a spot where it seemed like the dirt had been disturbed.

Hel knelt…and immediately started to move the dirt with her hands…she kind of forgot to bring something to dig with. Oh well.

Eventually she found a box in the hole, and pulled it out. “Ah! First find.” She opened it, and pulled out a music box. “Huh…interesting…” She wound up the item, and listened to it play, before she held it out to Sibyl. “Not really my thing. Do you want it instead?” While she waited, she took an item out of her bag, and put it into the box, closing it back up.

Hel was glad Sibyl seemed excited. She hadn’t taken anyone geocaching before…and she had just stumbled upon the activity herself recently…so…yeah.

The ghoul grinned as Sibyl came back with a treasure in hand, and the reaper seemed rather excited about that. “Oh, ya! Trade, definitely!” She took the juice squeezer and looked it over. This was really neat! As someone who liked to cook and prepare food, this was a more exciting find. Hel stashed the juice maker, and then got up, moving off of the path and started to weave amongst the trees. Between some tree roots, she found another patch of dirt, and dug…only to come up with ******** trolls.” She muttered.
