Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hi Casnar," greeted Papillon. "This is a farm where they grow food. We're just out here having a play day. For some reason, our bondeds think we need sun and exercise." Fluttering her wings, she answered his question, "Those are my wings"


Hearing her name called, Papillon turned to see her sister. Her butterfly winged sibling appeared to be a little lost. "Hey, Amara! Over here!"

Oscar floats around the edge of the corn field. He feels both excited and anxious. As he hovers about he hums softly, a soothing habit he has created for himself. He has overheard the little brown wini, who seems oddly old to be so young, and the bouncy little thing conspiring over a treasure hunt. Being that he seems to struggle with forming sentences (he'd rather just hum or howl) he is drawn to the way this she wini communicates. It's like pictures and feelings in his mind. Then there was this little guy... he seemed excited and was somehow different too. "Hmph" he let some determined breath pass through his nose. He tried his paw at sending a thought and as he moved forward to greet them he sent this, Hi... I Oscar, like dog! can help? "Ugh" he thinks to himself and he knows he's messed up the words but he looks at them hopefully anyway.

Kanika watched the bouncy Piccolo, his enthusiasm was catching. She grinned wider, amused by his antics. A strange demon thing hovered nearby and as it got closer she tilted her head. She hadnt seen a baby meiko in a long time, and this one was dark and spotty.
Good! We will go find the magic dog then...She was thinking to Piccolo then paused, surprised by the little meiko's thoughts. He communicated like she did! It wasn't often she came across demons that talked with their minds like that. Standing again, her tail gave an excited little wag as she circled around the floating demon.
Hi Oscar! I'm Kanika... she glanced at the mini baby, Piccolo.

She pushed them a thought of George the dog, then added for both of the boys This is George, the bad pirates took him and we have to get him back! With a paw she gestured toward the field of corn, the boys out of sight and probably up to no good. But what would be a good plan of attack?


Toby blew his hair from his face very dramatically, and rolled his eyes, feigning annoyance. He was actually excited and having fun but was sure it would be lame to show it.
"Well... nothing too exciting so far, I got ditched here with that runt girl I live with." He said, then eyed another boy joining them. He seemed alright though, apparently bored already too. That was fine, they would find things to do he was sure.
"Hey guy.. " He said to the newcomer, then turned back to his brother
"I ran ahead a little and the field is huuuge... but there are hay bales and things on that side over there..." He poked his little chin in a direction.
"I was thinkin maybe we could shove some together and make a fort. Cool people only of course!" He added with a slightly evil grin. They could tell everyone they weren't allowed to come in. "What ya think?"

Piccolo listened to Kanika as she started to relay her plan of attack. It must be a girl thing, he thought to himself. All this planning. Corsaire always did the planning on their adventures. Never asked him what he thought they should do.

Bringing himself back to the present, Piccolo realized that the girl had stopped sending him thoughts. The thoughts he heard had a different feel to them now. He followed Kanika's gaze upward and saw the black furry demon floating near by.

"Ooooooooh", said Piccolo in wonder. He'd never seen a demon like that before. None like that lived with his bonded. He waved a paw at the boy.

"Hi, Oscar!"

Kanika drew both their attention back the adventure at hand with a mental image of the dog and then gesturing into the corn field.

"Unfurl the sails, stoke the boiler, full-speed ahead!" Piccolo said excitedly. It was one of Corsaire's favorite battle cries.












Travis glanced back to see who his brother had spoken to. A purple youngster with black hair walked towards them. He was glad to see it was a boy and not a girl.

"The more the merrier," he said, greeting the newcomer with a nod.

"Damn fine idea, bro," he replied to his brother's idea. Cursing made him feel older and wiser. "Let's go see what you found." This day might not be a total loss after all, he thought.

Starting to walk in the direction that Toby had indicated, he had another thought. "You know, being this is a farm and all.. Do you think the farmer might have some 'shine stashed around anywhere?" He glanced at his brother to see what he thought, knowing already that Toby usually went along with those sort of ideas. "Once we get the fort built, we can see if there are any storage sheds nearby."

"Game?" He blinked a few times, but she was flopped down just like he was, and after a moment he realized this was play. She wanted to play! Were they friends then? He liked this, but he didn't know any games.

But she wanted to play, and he didn't want to disappoint his new friend, so he flexed his claws in the dirt and rocked back and forth. He did it to try and provoke thought, but then discovered that it felt kind of fun to do that and he flung himself over completely to stare at her upside down. "......I don't know." He finally answered her. "I don't know any games, but you're nice and no one's ever played with me before. What games do you know?"

Oscar whips his tail about happily and lets out a few short musical howls letting his joy be known. Hi friends, he thinks. He then forms a picture in his mind of the 3 of them sneaking quietly in to the ocean of corn, he pushes the thought out to his two new friends and tries to give it the feeling of a question. Good idea?

Nodding for the other boy to come along, Toby fell in behind his brother and grinned widely.
"Hey that's a great idea, I bet for sure there's something hidden 'round here somewhere, if that old bum I live with was willing to come out at the crack of rump!" He snickered. He had only been out here a couple times, once for the barn dance, he had always been too busy to explore the many outbuildings and barns. The edge of the field was ahead, he knew there were several hay bales all scattered about. He hoped the three of them would be able to shove them around to make something really great.

George scampered out of the corn stalks to his right and yipped excitedly. He had been roaming and now rejoined them to see what the little boy demons were up to. They had no food and were wandering, so he darted off again to explore some more.



Kanika nodded enthusiastically, giggling quietly at Piccolo's sudden battle cry of sorts. She couldn't have said it better herself, she decided! Receiving the thought from Oscar, she slid forward, exaggeratedly tip toeing into the corn field to show she was being sneaky as could be.
Good idea. Come friends...adventurers...pirates.. she corrected herself, Lets be quiet those are really bad guys! She slunk through the corn, silent as could be from long years of practice sneaking around the warehouse.

Suddenly she paused, standing straighter. She had heard yipping sounds, George was out there. He sounded really far off now though.
They are moving , maybe running already. She expressed urgency, and moved forward again quickly.

Lucian peeks into the candy bag and picks out one of each flavour. “Here ya go” He says, giving them to the winged kid. “I’m Lucian, what’s your name?” He unwraps a reddish coloured candy and pops it into his mouth. “Mmm! So good!”

Not far off he can hear giggling and laughing. “I wonder what's going on over there?” He asks with a grin on his face.
