Welcome to Gaia! ::

As time passed and Gracie's family continued to multiply faster than anyone could have imagined... the penthouse grew too small to house everyone. and.. most of them had ended up coming to work for her at the coffee shop. Then, Graceangel wanted to help the homeless further, and she opened up her own charity organization. Several of her relatives have taken turns helping out there on the occassions.

After a few years, Sarace then adopted a few more girls. Then, Gracie's husband, FoxproGT started taking a part time job at a small love nest bar as a chef. There, he met some dude named Jon Slice who eventually became a great family friend of all the Taquitos. You could almost swear he was related by how much he was with them. He was a strong part of them decidign to strike out and form a town on their own. Oh yeah... Last logged, they were in barton town. Well, that part of commerce suddenly became over populated by coffee shops after the famed success of their shop. Also.. faced with the overcrowding of the penthouse, they all decided to move... they found a massive peninsula that was nearly an island... only connected to land by a very narrow straight of land.

So, Jon Slice, who had collected a small fortune playing the Gaia Market for a year helped the family foot the cost of establishing a town.. First things built in this new town was the Grand Taquito Estate and Jon's Bungalow. Jon built his house right off the coast and just inside where the island touched the running strip of land connecting it to the continent. He still frequented both gambino and Durem's markets... often buying low and selling hi. Also, soon after the move... Sarace's fairy abilities began to really reach a higher potential. In fact, it seemed most of the family who had been born with fairy gifts.. it really started coming out. Also, at this time, Graceangel's daugther kiki made a secret treehouse. Only members of her private club are allowed in there. Also, Toffer went off and built himself a small castle which is opposite of Jon's house... he built it to be a watch tower for who goes in and out of the city. He also claims himself to be the head detective of the city's inner problems. That will be a seperate log however... anyways, also, Sarace went into the dense forest in teh center of this island where she made a special area that those with fairy abilities seemed to thrive off the dense nature in there. We so far don't understand what the connection there is.... but, then after there was an established forest... an unusual thing happened. A man Grace had met while her shop was in Alent. In fact, it was the mayor of that town.. and he came to Taquito City (as the family had named it in honor of all their siblings love for one another) looking for Grace. When he found her, he began recounting to her memories of a man who had some children with his mother.. and he being one of those children.. and, according to research he had done; his father was teh same as the taquito siblings... He, however, had a different last name as being raised by a different woman... And, because our father never actually married her.. she never had our family's name or honor. Otaku was intent to rectify that wrong. After he and Grace had discussed things for a few days... She invited his family to live in teh city with them. None of the Taquito siblings had known of him ever. It had turned out that their dad had an affair with another woman while off on one of his sailing trips. Grace wanted to attempt to help heal the discoveries found out about it all.. and it turned out aside from siblings, Otaku also had a wife and several children as well... and he had already been to college and was both a scientist adn an archeologist. He was always traveling a lot in search of some elusive ancient gaian ruins. He happened on his family history information in search of one location... and it would happen one location he needs to dig also happens to be a small area of our peninsula.. wow. who'd have thought we picked a site of a long ago civilization? Well, Otaku decided to let the past be in teh past. His family decided to occupy the guest house when in town.. as they still traveled a lot. He told us about some grand mansion they owned in durem where most of his family resided when they were doing studies at the university. The TC guest home was also their lodging for vacations away from the noisy smog infested town. Toffer and Isabel quickly helped him find the digging site and helped him organize a library.

These are some of our history so far.

(more to come soon again.)

ok... I have never mentioned this before... because it's a tale of old... but, I am not kain and crono's real mom... not like i am to astraea and the others... those twins weren't my flesh and blood. At the time, I had just struck out on my own opening my first coffee shop in the town of Alent... and a lady who owned a nearby tailoring shop got very sick... and her husband had gone to fight for them.. and she asked me to keep her sons safe for her... and then a few weeks later when we were selling off that shop to move to gambino; she gave me her sons and told me it was her most sincerest wish for me to take and raise them far from Alent. Where they wouldn't be tainted by war. She had asked me specifically because i had other children their age. and she wanted what was best for them.

What happened to her after we left; noone knows till this day. After all, Alent was pretty much destroyed to the ground.

But... I just thought that it was high time I let this secret out. 3nodding Nevertheless, both of them are always most welcome in my home... and they will continue to be given my old penthouse as a home for as long as they should desire to be with our family. They may not be Taquitos by blood; but they will always be Taquitos by soul...

Recently, I have felt unresolved in my gut. After the emergence of Otaku as a relative to me and my siblings. I could no longer sit by and wonder what happened to our mother. All I remember of her is her long dark red hair. She was a strong and friendly woman. I always remember her taking such great care of us as young children. She also always was able to handle news of our father coming and going rather well to boot. In recent months, I asked Aeon Lorus about some help with hooking me up with people who might be able to help me in search to see if my mother exists still in teh lands of gaia. Well, I have to say this was a worthwhile endeavor. I cannot as of yet reveal all there is to know. However, what I've been finding is of rather startling yet heartwarming results. This quest has uncovered some other information I was not aware of.

So, a question in the mind of anyone who may read this would be, "Did you find her?" The answer is "yes". I did find her. Ok. so I'm sure people would like to know "What now?". That my friends is the part i cannot reveal at this time. However, when things are able to be worked out. Much will be revealed.

In other family records, it has been a few months since I released the information to kain and cronos of their true relations. The fact they were never my blood children to begin with. This news is rather difficult for the rest of my children to really digest. But, after having time to digest it, teh boys have come to the conclusion that they need to find who they are. They appreciate all the Taquito household has done for them all their lives. But, they both want to leave us for a time. This time is indefinite. It could be they might never return. Then again, if they do; they will most likely only continue to live in my old penthouse above the coffee shop. That was always kain's residence of choice anyhow. I remember how when him and crono were young toddlers. Before I took them in, I would find them standing outside my shop taking wiffs of the baked goods' aroma everytime the door opened. Seeing this, I sent my son Toffer out to take them food to fill their bellies. I could tell they were from a poor family.

In other family business: let the records state that my eldest son of my flesh: Toffer. That he has blasphemed his family. He has began what could result in a long runnign dispute. What will become of his children? who knows. His indiscretiosn with the women of his life continue to find their way into the everyday lives of the Taquito household. His sisters are becoming increasingly malcontent with these tendencies. Obviously, like kain and crono, Toffer also has grown up. Perhaps it is time for him to have time away from our family. To go out into the world of Gaia, and be a man on his own two feet. As his mother, i bid him luck and well doings. As a person who is being forced to deal with the current ridiculous things happening in my busines on account of one of his hussies... that is another matter.

One of the most famous Taquitos, Master Arnold Benedict Taquito invented the fusion core generator one of the first clean forms of power.
