Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashton Carver: 25/25 / Worm.

The bathrooms were nice and inclusive and all, but when Ashton held out a very lovely scented candle to the Worm Being, it -- didn't notice her.

She sulked off to go eat some entrees before returning.

Once you've gotten your bearings back, you realize you feel different...










((OOC: If you like these changes, they're permanent for your character! Otherwise you can opt for them to vanish after the event is over! ))

Thorne (Unmasked) | | 25/25 | | WHY IS THERE A WORM....

He had just wanted some wine. How had this happened instead?

The worm was... well, it might have been horrifying if Thorne hadn't just spent three months with Melany, the Epitome of Evil and Terror and All Things Cruel in the World. Instead, Thorne just regarded the creature with a sort of "oh ok" expression and decided a few minutes outside of the alcove could be spent running errands for... it.

The plant otherbeings could wait a little longer for him to bring them a snack. And then he could tell them all about the centipede that looked like a galaxy had been eaten.

Thorne searched for a few minutes across the Court for something... to appease the worm. It seemed to prefer something soothing. But what was soothing here?

Maybe I'll just bring it Melany, the ghost in his head muttered. Thorne tucked it away and stepped into one of the empty bathrooms. It was there that he decided on a relatively large, potted plant that was probably meant to decorate the place. It smelled sweet and gentle, the sort of scent that lured people to sleep. Thorne hefted it into his arms and took it back to the worm.

Plants could be soothing after all, right? That was why he had a whole room filled with them.

And if the worm didn't want it, he would just take it back with him. He could always use another +1.

And then he watched in horror as the creature ate the plant. There was a part of him that was definitely feeling guilty about that. Like he'd just delivered a victim to a murderer.

Rest in ******** pieces, plant.

25/25 Shiloh Beaumont (unmasked) is taking a break from drawing...

Shiloh's hands hurt.

It was normal, with as much as he drew. In the back of his mind, he knew the excessive drawing would only hinder his skill in the long run; in the same breath, how long of a run was he eve destined to have? Despite this, he set his tools down and wandered out of his aquamarine room, nursing his wrist with a gentle massage.

Normally, Shiloh would have stared upon the monstrosity imposing before him and promptly left. Unfortunately for Shiloh, he was compelled to obey when prompted.

To add further to the disgust, Shiloh's wandering led him to a bathroom that... well, dare he actually call it a bathroom? Hopefully the creature didn't mind waiting, because filth to Shiloh was absolutely unacceptable under Melany's teachings. An hour or so later, Shiloh left the now sparkling bathroom without a care in the world. In fact, he was pleased that his clothes remained salvaged despite the toxic war he had been forced to wave. The substances he had found crusted onto the sinks and toilet seats was far from anything biological.

"You'll need this if you ever set foot in there. I'm afraid it will always remain tainted, despite my efforts." Shiloh produced a bar of soap, evidently touched by the otherworld insofar that it produced a opalescent gleam, shimmery and sparkling and smelling minty fresh.

His gaze was hallow as he spun around with the creature. Was it possible to need breaks from breaks?

Chain-Smoking Rabbit Vaughn: 25/25, finding meat near the toilet

Rabbit had seen far stranger things during the course of his stay, and he'd been far more sober for all of them. When he noticed the worm... thing... on his way to Hux's tower, he paused, nodding when They silently asked him to fulfill a boon.

"Yeah, sure buddy," he said, patting the creature on Their starry side, careful to stay clear of the eyes.

He got the feeling somehow that something savory was in order, but how he ended up in the most disgusting bathroom he had ever witnessed in his life based on that feeling was beyond him. He hadn't paid much attention to the waste-related habits of Other creatures, but he couldn't imagine they were this foul. He wouldn't have even guessed most of them went to the bathroom. Had humans done this? This place was floor to ceiling fragrant muck, the floor ankle-deep greenish-yellow fluid, and though he tried to dodge the pale brown dirt bombs that rained from the ceiling, one eventually landed squarely in his décolletage, just as he laid eyes on a very out of place brisket.

Trying not to gag (because the end result of that would only make s**t worse in here), Rabbit made his way over to the saucy hunk of meat and gingerly picked it up, finding Forever again as quickly as he could without falling flat on his face.

"Here. I can't..." He expelled a horrible dry wheeze, dropping his gift as he bent to prop his hands on his knees. "I hope you like it."

Thankfully, he still wasn't looking when They ate it.

Jamie Delacroix | 25/25 | just another song and dance my friend

Jamie Delacroix was not a quitter. Believe you him, if there was anything eighteen years of adversity had taught him, it was how to keep going even when you wanted to lay down and cry. No, he didn't quite want to cry yet, but the Otherworld wasn't done with him yet, he was sure of that.

What he found for Forever next wasn't a find so much as a steal, but in his defense, he hadn't realized it belonged to anyone (probably should've been obvious seeing as it was wrapped up like a present). Inside was something saucy, but not in the scandalous way. A surprise considering the two Otherbeings he'd seen nearby had been smooching it up pretty unnecessarily. Way too much PDA.

As a gift, Jamie presented a bottle of barbecue sauce, the good stuff, expensive. Finally Forever seemed to notice him, and looked more interested in eating the sauce than him this time. Jamie was so excited by his success that he couldn't help but be compelled to dancing.

Finn Derouen | 25/25 | Failing to comprehend

Finn stared at the writhing mass of starry void, his mind racing - what... what, exactly, was it asking him?

He had no ******** clue.

Juniper Wilcox | 25/25 | CLOWNS?

Juniper pondered what Forever wanted. Seriously, why was she thinking something saucy for them? What could she possibly get that was...saucy? Food maybe? Yea, she'd go that route. After all, who was to say that saucy could mean anything else for an Otherworld Being?

With her intent set on food, Juniper headed off towards one of the many tabled. It was laden with all sorts of foods but nothing seemed particularly...saucy?

She sighed, placing her hands on her hips as she looked around hoping something might perk her attention...

A door? She hadn't noticed it before but it seemed to lead from the table. Maybe it went to some sort of kitchen or an area that had more choices? Juniper was ready to grab anything that would look to work, so she pulled open the door and stepped inside.

And squeaked in surprise as she was completely surrounded by paintings of creepy clowns. "Who the hell has a room dedicated to his?" She said in shock.

Getting over her initial fright, Juniper tried to calm her racing heart as she looked around. She tried her best to ignore the creepy faces on the walls what seemed to stare into her very soul. She may not hate clowns, but this room was a bit much for her!

Thankfully, it seemed she hadn't been far off with her assumption. This room had also been set up for guests with food, and one of the many delectable looking items appeared to be some sort of skewered meat with a sticky, almost honey consistency sauce on it. "Perfect."

Not wasting time, Juniper gathered a plate of the stuff, and hurried out of the terrifying room, closing the door behind her so she wouldn't feel like they were just staring her down anymore. "This place it just ridiculous." She said softly as she hurried back to Forever.

"I got what you wanted, I think!" She smiled as she walked up to Forever. They stood there and stared at her for a moment. Just as Juniper assumed they were going to take the plate of meat, she was completely engulfed in their mouth with only a muffled scream to state her shock.

Whatever the hell happened after that Juniper wasn't sure but she realized she was standing outside of the room and completely unharmed. "Was I really just....eaten? Jesus...this place is like the most bizarre haunted house anyone could come across." She felt...confused and a bit used actually. "
