Welcome to Gaia! ::

Entry #1 - Reciving the Summon

All I have to say is... wow. I'm still not believing that I'm holding the artifact in my arms. It's so mind blowing that I've been giving this job and I'm hoping that I'm ready for it.

The artifact I've been given is unidentified, as they are the first of their kind to be found. Looking at the two embracing figures, many possibilities goes through my mind but one can't be sure until we get the proper results.

The two share some similar markings, but the intensity of the color is quite different. Also, their wings are their seperating trait. One looks as if the wings are made up of metal plates, and the other looks like it's been shredded and ripped. The artifact also has been identified as male, more experiments shall be done... as soon as I snap out of my shock.

Entry #3 - Reciving the Life
Page 1036 - Page 1041

Give me a few moments to calm down or I swear I'll burst from the excitment.

Anyway, I went to my parents's house today to look them up after last night's wild partying (fully dressed.) But when I got home, I found that the relic is shaking and glowing! So I rushed over to the museum, tripped on the door steps, crash landed on my face and slide in on my forehead, it was painful.

There were quiet a few people there when I got there and more came in, even Junyi showed up! Although I ended up bantering with Junyi while we waited for the relic to hatch... I swear, I've never seen such beautiful little boys in my life.

I named the one in armor Lawfer and the other Lezard, named after some of my favorite video game characters. I shall be calling up many friends tonight about the news.

Entry #4 - Making Friends... sorta
Page 1045 - Page 1050

Lawfer and Lezard made friends today? Or at least Lawfer did...

Anyway, I sticked around after the breath-taking birth so let the pair get familiar with the place they'll probably spend a lot of their time in. Koko and Ahnna showed up later with thier older thule and even though Double L didn't get a chance to meet Katana and Moriko, they did get themselves introduced (actually, they didn't now that I think about it) to Real and Aikaz. Lawfer and Lezards seems to get along with Real well, espacially Lawfer. But Aikaz... well, she seems to enjoy screaming in my ear when I'm asleep.

I look forward to meeting them again, when I'm not in a condition where I'll fall asleep halfway through watching the kids.

Entry #6 - It's never good on the end of the spectrum

"Oh come on~ Lezard." I child the baby, who still refuses to open his mouth. "You used to love corn."

Frustrated, I put down the bowl and glare at the young one. It's not that he did anything again, nor is it really his fault, but Lezard's tendency to switch favorite food/toy/brand/etc every week is frankly, very annoying and not easy on the financial standing.

"Why can't you be like your brother?" I asks the silver haired one. "Lawfer never gives me much trouble..." Which is mostly the truth. Mostly. But the red baby's devotion to his chewing ball is beginning to alarm me, it's fine now that he's a baby. But what happens when he's a toddler? Child? Or god forbid, teen? He can't still be going around chewing on the same rubber ball.

So on one side I have a little boy who still sleep with the same blanket the night he came home for the first time, the other demands different items at least once a week...They are almost opposites of each other, like me and my brother, now I understand why mother have such headaches.

"Oh fine." Admitting defeat, I put down the bowl. "What would you like?" I can almost feel myself rolling eyes at myself. As if Lezard can talk.

Walking to the fridge, I take out several different food items and put them out in front of Lezard so he can pick (This has been going on enough that I usually keep a small selection in the fridge.) Finally, the boy picks the new carrot flavored food and slops on it while I put the rejects back.

Actually, wasn't Lezard into carrots about a month and half ago? Or was that apples? Really who knows anymore?

Entry #008 - A Father's thoughts...

I've been thinking... kinda... about the boys. I'm watching them playing in the pen with Luna as I'm writing this and well... as I said... I've been thinking.

As much as the boys are alike and unseparateable (they nearly tried to choke me to death when I tried to let different people to take care of them,) they are different as night and day. Yet, it's amazing how they get along well together, it might not be bunnies and cnadies all the time. But for them, even at their young age, it's like... they need each other.

How can I put it better... It's because that they are together that... their unique qualities gets brought out more. Lawfer's stubbornness won't be so apparent if not compared to Lezard's tendency of very... inconsistent of what he wants. Red's quietness won't be so noticeable if not for Lezard's joy of causing something every chance he gets. It's because they are together that their uniquness and personality comes out even more, it's like they are originally one so they can get along, but yet divided in half so they each get a different share... am I making any sense here?

Lezard has just gotten Luna into chasing him again, I have no idea how he does it. So far, Lezard has been the more outgoing of the twins, Lawfer prefer to play 'chew-the-ball' by himself at the corner. Yet the only times where Lawfer accepts other people are normally initiated by Lezard? isn?t that an interesting fact?

I have no idea where I'm going with this musing, I'm just sitting here and letting my mind go off all over the places. I've started to refer the twins and my daughter as 'Triple L.' Which to me is amusing because normally I have no habit of giving out nicknames. I suppose children does have a effect on one?s personality.

Entry #010 - Sibling's Bond

Finally getting some time off from work, I took the twins to the park over the weekend. It's very normal, I know, but I think normality is very nice for youngesters. And surprisingly, my siblings took up my offer to join me, I mean BOTH of them. How rare it's that?

The twins are surprisingly fond of my older sister, I have a feeling I just moved down from their list of favorite things. Li didn't mind the attachment, she even said it's a nice break from her work (She's a workholic like my father, and if you think I'm bad, you should see them!)

Somehow all of us fond ourself on the swings, with Lezard in Li's lap and Lawfer on Yeau's. At first I thought the two boys would have trouble telling me and Yeau apart (we are also twins after all) but it seems they didn't, or at least I couldn't tell they had trouble with that. The three of us talk about times past, present, and future. It was very nice to be like that again, all of us had grown apart in our adult life.

Then the topic turned to the younger pair of twins, who are squirming in my siblings' laps and refuses to stop until we set them down together in the sand pit. I told them about the two babies, or at least what I know of them, which is still very little. I complained about how a pain in the a** kids are (jokingly of course.) I'm seriously convinced that Lezard has some form of ADD, the kid can't keep his mind on one thing for more than a few minutes at a time. While Lawfer is as stubborn as a... very hard rock...

Yeau just laughed, my older brother always had a less logical view than me, rare for a first born son. He said that little Lezard just doesn't know what he wants with his life yet while Lawfer has full control (how that applies to babies I don't know, I mean, I could understand if they are teenagers...) In which I suggested that maybe Lezard is more like Yeau and Lawfer is more like me.

Li just smiled and suggested that Lawfer is better at being satisfied with his life and what he has while Lezard is still striving to see what's out there, if there are anything better. In that case, won't Lawfer be more like Yeau and Lezard more like me?

I admit it's something that haven't entered my mind, and it deserves farther thought on my part. But it's a pleasant day spend, and maybe I'll write a more detailed entry later.

Lawfer's Quest - Part 1

Quest

Lawfer has, apparently, been getting a little distant... maybe it would be best to see if he can fit in the crowd without Lezard's help? Take him somewhere where he can socialize with other children his age (perhaps the Aduthule HQ?) and see if he can share his precious ball. If he does, who knows what can happen?

Lawfer isn't very happy to be separated from his other half that much I can tell. But the boy also isn't the type to throw fits; he is the type who angers coldly. Like if you turn around you can feel the icy touch of his rage making your hair stand on ends. And when you have to hold him like I'm now, it feels pretty much the same as holding a block of ice cube with a time bomb inside that you really don't know if it's going to blow up.

Not something I like to do.

To my disappointment, I did not find anyone in the museum when I stopped by. The lump of burning ice in my arms is getting mighty unnerving. Thinking maybe I just arrived too early, I decided to stop by a park around the area that I know of.

Gaia is truly an exciting world; the population changes and grows with each passing day, often by the hours. It's truly stimulating for a academic mind trying to study them all, except... Lawfer does not have such a mind.

I've found out on other trips that Lawfer does not like anywhere with more than zero strangers, especially those who insist on intruding in his own private space. As kids often do. So simply speaking, a park is the last place he wants to be. You would be glad to know the boy doesn't discriminate; it doesn't matter if they have wings, legs, tails or scales, he wants them out of his sight. I can feel the ice cube getting heavier as the park comes into view, and I'm somehow glad I can't see the little boy's face. He probably has a look of murder on his childish face, framed by the baby fat.

There are already many children at the park, many of species I have yet read about. Hoping that the boy might find one child who he is comfortable with, I tentatively put the baby on the side of one of the sandpits. It didn't take long for Lawfer to draw some attention from other children, while some only look, others approaches him, much to his horror.

I try my best to encourage him to interact with the other children, but he makes it plainly that the only way he'll interact with them is telling them to go away. Which many did, attracted by newer more interesting things, until eventually only one girl of large colorful wings remain. She is of an insistent type. First offering her snack (which is rejected,) then her toy (which is also rejected,) I had to intervene on her behalf when she tries to take the rubber ball, thankfully for her I did too. In some circumstances where he is pushed hard enough, Lawfer can become blindly violent, and at that point even Lezard have little effect on the red adu. I prefer none of that happening in public, if at all.

Almost giving up, I retreats to a quieter corner of the park and let the baby play on his own on the soft grass. Dropping my lazy a** on to a nearby bench as my imagination takes over all rational thoughts in my head. At this rate, Lawfer is probably become a old man without EVER talking to anyone outside of the family, he will be one of those old farts living up on one of those houses surrounded by thunder and the neighborhood kids will hold Courage Tests by hunting for ghosts in his house and he'll...

"HEY! What are you doi..." Something caught my attention at the edge of my sight.

Then I stop, and look again.

Lawfer. Brown Thing. Interacting. OMGWTF call me amazed.

The Brown Thing in question looks to be a... dog. A regular, non-magical, four-legged, tail-wagging, saliva-dripping, dog. Scientific name, Canis familiaris. Well, it's not actually brown, it's partly white too, but mostly brown... THAT IS NOT THE POINT, I need to remind myself. The point IS, the dog just licked Lawfer on the cheek, and its didn't lose its tongue. In fact, Lawfer is... he really is... giggling. He. Can. Giggle. OMG my mind, she is blown.
