Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thom drank the mixture of plant-life he had gathered under teh direction of teh Willow woman and looked to her expectantly, as if to ask now what. He had moved Maeve off hsi back so she was back resting in teh securuity of his lap. Or at least as secure as he could make it, anyway.
-----------

Imoegen waved merrily at the arrivals on teh mountain, her blueness accentuated by the cold. Heck, she probably wasn't teh only one going blue. That thought did give her a bit of pleasure.

"So, we're looking for a blue flower now?" she asked, hoping she got all teh discussions right.
----------

Lief had stayed behind and was now meditating in a grove, conneting with the various earth energies to build up his power for the coming battle ahead of him.

-----------

Maeve found herself compelled to teurn to Herne and the others and give a report.

'Ashuri's memory is back," she said tightly, "And Morrigan and a bunch fo otehrs have gone off in search of a blue flower. Somethign about making it into a holy power."

"And who went and who is left behind?" Herne asked intresedly.
"Vincent, Trunks, Megumi, Ashuri, Imogene, Vejita, Po-ar and Morrigan."

"And Mairgen and the boy?"

"Didn't come. Lief's off by himself somewhere."

Morrigan was content with the plan, creeping over to Po-ar to share bodyheat again. Well, hey. You had to make use of every chance you could to keep warm.
Vincent nodded. "I'm alright with that. It's blustery! What a beautiful day!"
"You're such a..." Morrigan began to curse, but she was cut off by Vincent's raised eyebrow.
That's right. She forgot. She was younger than he was.

"Of course he does," Morrigan smiled forcedly, "He's still fae."
Coooooollllllllllllllllllllllld. If she would have had her magick still, she would have attempted a ring of fire....then again, it could demolish her chances of finding it.
She'd suffer the cold.
She trembled a bit, arms pressed to her torso, to Po-ar's torso, holding his hand tightly. "He is a bit foolish sometimes."

Vincent followed, hardy as ever. The elemental he was, he tolerated this thing much better than anyone here. However, he ignored the comments, instead focusing on the new world.
He bet their otherworld had lots of cute fae-like-women. He nearly smirked at this.
His gaze scoured the ground for any kind of life at all, specifically blue; it was hard to imagine finding anything in this kind of weather, though.

"Otousan, you've seen the blue flower before, right?" Trunks asked, glancing to Vejita.
The Saiya-jin Oji nodded, "Hai. Po-ar used it to bring Ashuri back to life a few years ago. It's just like the one in her hair now."
Trunks sighed, "The sooner we find it, the quicker we can end this fighting." the man spoke, looking to Vincent. "Any luck yet on your side?"

"What in hell could they do with bales of hay?" Konton asked in confusion.

~~~

"Nagareru kisetsu no mannaka de. Futo hi no nagasa wo kanji masu. Sewashiku sugiru hibi no naka ni. Watashi to anata de yume wo egaku." Ashuri sang as they walked.
"So, that running was just to show off?" Megumi ased.
The woman nodded, "Hai. Make the guys think they need to hurry faster than they normally would." she smiled.
Megumi looked to Imogene, laughing. "You must be FREEZING!" she joked.

~~~

Note:
The song Ashuri is singing is "Sangatsu Kokonoka" by Remioromen. It's an insert song to the JDrama, "One Litre of Tears". It has a very measured pace. You could almost count to it.
It's in 4/4 time, with beats about 2 seconds long.
So it's a great walking song to keep a pace.

Trans:
Right in the middle of the flowing seasons. I suddenly realise the length of a day; Among days that hurry past, you and I. Sketch out our dreams.

"It's what Po-ar and Viejta and Trunks use and I think they're going to use that to start a huge ki fire and burn everything down," Maeve said tightly.

"So I'm going to be off fighting Amairgen, what about teh others?"

"Finding where you keep me."

Herne laughed. "Ah. How amusing. Your friends can tear this place apart without finding you. Yoy might as well not even exist."

Maeve flushed, obviously upset and angry.
--------

"Oh yeah, give me five more minutes and I'll be Icicle Girl. Except that's more white than blue, huh?" Imogene quipped

Imogene grinned. "Awesome. So long as you go just as blue as me. And if not, well, I'm sure we can get some paint somewhere."

The Willow Woman nodded with a smile. "Now, my dear, you're going to have to jump across that chasm. I know it seems far, but you'd be surprised with what you drank. This is the time to trust."

"Perhaps that is the best place to look for the flower," Morrigan suggested, "away from the bitter cold, the snow and ice."

"Maybe." Morrigan sighed, "Unless you have faery-caverns like we do. I don't know the sort of spiritual activity here. Perhaps in the opening," she suggested, "somewhere where the sun can still shine through."
She wasn't able to hold back the trembling now, the subtle shiverings escalating into chattering teeth. If she would have had larger blood vessels and wasn't trying to retain heat she would have blushed. "It, it was, never, this cold before," she cursed quietly, trudging forward, "This, this @%(^ing sucks!"
Well, there went her initial go-get attitude.
