Welcome to Gaia! ::

((*nods* I figured we could use things we'd normally have...but I wasn't sure if the science kit would fall under that. *Shrugs* I couldn't think up a reason why Moo and Acia would have brought it, so....this way works better xD))

Following D's example, Moo set her glider on the ground near Sid, then turned back to face the door. "It's worth a try... The stone looks thin enough for it, at least." After glancing once over the door, Moo turned and followed D to the other end of the room. On three she charged for the door, ramming it at the same moment as D. The limestone held for only an instant, then shattered, leaving a large gap through the center of the door. Wincing faintly, but grinning, Moo rubbed her shoulder, peering through the whole in the door. "Well... It's big enough for us to get through, anyway. C'mon Acia."

The glider ran over and Moo picked her up, then the caretaker stepped through the hole in the door, stepping to the side so D could enter and looking around. It was empty, save for the door at the other end...and the holes covering the walls. The door would obviously be locked, so there was no need to check it.... Maybe the key was in one of the holes? After a hesitant glance to D, Moo stepped over to one of the larger holes, sticking her arm in it. Not the brightest thing to do, but.... "Some of these are deep... I can't feel the end of this one. But you can see the end to some," she murmured, withdrawing her hand and nodding to another nearby hole. "Umm.... Acia could fit in some of these holes, but Sid would be able to move more easily... Maybe they could search inside for the key?"

Minutes passed with the two owners checking the larger holes, their Velvets the smaller... Moo was a bit worried about the smallest holes. The Velvets wouldn't be able to fit in those, so they had no means of checking... But, she assumed a key wouldn't fit within them either. 'Course, knowing her luck...

A movement on the opposite wall caught her attention, lips curving in a bright grin as she watched Sidney slither from a hole onto D's shoulder, a small key held in his mouth. Moving down the wall, she tugged lightly on the furry tail extending from a hole, and within a few seconds Acia had crawled out and glided too her shoulder.

"We got lucky, there," Moo murmured, watching as D unlocked the door. "With all those holes, that could have taken hours..." The door opened, D stepped through, and Moo followed, jumping slightly in surprise when the door suddenly closed behind her. She turned to face it, watching in shock as the door faded, then vanished completely, leaving seamless white walls in it's place. "Well...we won't be getting out that way."

Turning back to the room, she allowed her eyes to wander. It was rather dull... bright white, open...but there were plants in the center. Plants!! This was the end. Grinning, she walked over and carefully picked a few of the herbs and leaves from the shrubs. There were a variety of plants here...best to be sure they'd gotten the right one. So take a bit of all!

Carefully holding the plants, she winked to the happily chittering glider on her shoulder, then turned her eyes back to D and Sid. "This is the last room, from what Nayati said. I...don't know how we'll get out, though. ...There's no door."

A slow grin spread across Moo's face, eyes turning up towards the hole in the ceiling. "You know... I think that just might work. Whadaya say, Acia?" she asked, glancing sideways to the glider on her shoulder.

Remaining strangely silent, Acia turned her eyes towards the ceiling, quckly judging the distance... She suddenly burst into a series of excited chitters, nodding and gliding down from Moo's shoulder. Surprisingly, it would be easier for her to launch from the ground. Chuckling softly, Moo handed the two keys to the glider, watching as Acia twined her tail around them. That would be the only way she could 'fly'...

Once settled, Acia chittered a quick 'See you in a bit', then abruptly fell silent. Within moments a breeze began to pick up, quickly growing in strength, whipping around the eerie white room. Acia spread her 'wings', and within moments the gust scooped beneath her, sending her spiraling towards the hole in the roof, where she soon disappeared from sight.

The glider reappear just inside the door where Nayati was waiting, in the room of candles. She waved cheerfully to the unicorn boy, but her wave was soon lost to sight...the wind, as planned, had extenguished the candles. The door opened automatically, so Acia hurried through, resummoning the breeze to fly her over the floor of ice. Upon reaching the other end, she latched onto the door handle and fumbled with the keys on her tail, finally picking the right one and inserting it in the lock. She twisted it, then tugged downwards on the doorknob, and a fresh gust of wind blew the door open...

The third room was simply a matter of flying through the gap in the door; not surprisingly, it had remained. And in the room of holes, she repeaed the process from the Ice room...but kept a careful hold on the doorknob when it swung open. It wouldn't do to have the door vanish all over again! Chittering excitedly from her perch on the knob, she gestured the trio through, positively beaming with pride from her accomplishment.

Laughing, Moo hurried over, then grabbed hold of the doorknob. Acia immediately climbed up to sit on her shoulder, and, once D and Sidney had passed through, Moo stepped back into the room of holes, closing the door behind her. The trip back through the maze went smoothly, and within a matter of minutes they were stepping back into the Toyshop, and Moo was handing the herbs to Nayati...

((Yay for lemonade!))

((Funfun n_n Much thanks, Iris...))

((*laughs* I'm sure I'll love her n_n!!! I had a feeling something to do with Chemistry would be in her picture... ;D

o_o Sid's a hottiiiiiiie. Cheer for snake-boy!))
