Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hoot shrugged, "I really don't know," he replied as they came closer to the ruins. The sky above them shifted from day... to a beautiful universe looking sky.

Cheshire was waiting for them. He rang the bell once more. "Oh where, oh where, have my marbles gone? Oh where, oh where could they be?" he sang, mimicking a childhood tune. He was making a reference to his insanity, ergo losing his marbles.

Antoinette frowned. Maybe they could find the person ringing the bell and ask them why they were ringing it. She noticed the light change a bit as they entered the ruins and looked up to see the sky change. "Wow...What happen sky?"

((*Sits to remember where everyone is*))
Jeanie was bored of the King, so when he left, she took Random in the opposite direction, "Let's explore this way. Do you think the ship is made the same way as the other one?" She asked him, clambering up to where a solitary pirate was behind a wheel attached to the boat

After the King and Mary so rudely left Cyrillia standing on an almost empty deck, she took a few moment to calm herself at the impetuosity of the pair. They know not of your strength, of your powers. Forgive. She mused upon the identity of the visitor, true she had been intrigued by the strong personality of the 'lady', but being ignored had caused her to care little once again. "So what now?" She spoke aloud to Gale, "And where have that pair got to?" She sighed, "At least they're together, they will look after one another I suppose."

Alice grinned, "You'd probably take me somewhere dangerous just to see how I coped. You're messed up Ly." She giggled. "Show me around this 'marvelous' garden then." In truth, Alice was eager to explore the beautiful place

Josh spun quickly, his eyes taking in the slavering plant. "That's just rude. Didn't mommy plant teach you to introduce yourself to stranger?" He joked, placing his own hand over Izzy's sword handle, pausing her attack. "Don't those plants only attack if you are dense enough to go for the nectar covered pad-things?" He asked, "Do we HAVE to hurt it?"

Jesta giggled at the thought. "Yes! Perfect!" She grinned at Mark and, after nodding to the twins, reached behind her and when her hand returned, three golden juggling balls lay in her palms. She reached out and offered them to Zack. "Good luck" She smiled

The twins looked on in interest and Myria silently hoped Zack did not make a fool of himself, no matter how funny that would be

((Ohh I do like the sound of Ace and Alice's adventures biggrin ))

Zack took the golden balls in his hands and focused in on them. He focused on thier weight and tossed them up a couple times to test them out. He then took a deep breath and began to juggle two of them, the third in his right hand. "I'm new to this form, so I'm going to warm up to this," he stated, chuckling. He then tossed the third in, keeping a circle of juggling. He wasn't terrible actually. Then he needed to do the hopping. He began to think in beat. 1...2...3...1...2...3... Which transferred into a steady bounce in his body to the tossing.

Zack began to slowly hop to the beat, keeping it up, but... he had to hop on one foot. He bit his bottom lip and attempted to shift his balance, but as soon as he did, he threw one too far to the right and it went straight towards Mark's face. He grabbed the other two, saving any other damages.

((Alright...Last post till Friday (If I'm not too tired to get online) or Saturday. I'll miss you all terribly but I'm going to the beach!))

Antionette snapped her head back down upon hearing the bell, to find a curious cat standing in front of her. "Chess!" She exclaimed as if Hoot didn't know who he was and reached out to touch his ear. She'd always wanted to pet him. "Corruption? Twisted?" She was rather confused, not as his words but at the way he used them. The ruins didn't look twisted to her. They looked...well like ruins.

Izzy shook her head. "All misconceptions. I'm sorry to say that these things attack most anything that doesn't belong in this realm and at the moment...that would be us."

The Plant looked down at the two, trying to decide how to take care of them. The Lady looked rather vicious but also rather uncomfortable with a sword while the boy did look a bit more delicious. Finally it just decided to lunge at the two of them, hoping to get at least one in its mouth.

To Izzy it seemed as if the world slowed down. The Plant was heading towards them and if they didn't move rather quick they would be plant food. She pushed Josh out of the way with all her might and they fell out of reach of the plants jaws. Izzy looked down at Josh, blushing once again. It wasn't often that she intentionally fell on top of people.

Ly frowned and pretended to be hurt but he held out his arm for her to take. "Well over here are the flowers and over there are the flowers. And there's a little stream over there." He grinned as he pointed out the most obvious things about the place.

Mark chuckled as Zack started tossing the balls. It was rather amusing to watch. Lucky for him as well that he was paying attention or he would have gotten hit in the face with a ball. He caught it while it was inches from his face. He moved the ball down from in front of his face. "That was close." He wiped his forhead with his other hand as if he was wiping sweat off of his brow.

((Oh and so do I...but alas they must wait until I return from my trip. Goodbye all))

Posiedon chuckled. "Beer doesn't keep as well. We 'ave Rum," he replied to her. Though he wouldn't have minded a good mug of beer. "And yes," he added on the Spader Man comment. He chuckled at the play on words.

Cheshire chuckled at her reaching hand, his ears twitched away from her. "The sky?" he added, answering Antionette's questions with a question-answer.

Zack chuckled. "Well, it was your bright idea," he joked as if it was intentional. His smile betrayed him though. He'd been slightly afraid that it would hurt him. He handed the golden balls back to Jesta.

Cyrillia smiled sweetly. "Actually, I am rather hungry, I do not remember the last time I ate. Yes, the dining area." She ignored the mention of Jeanie and Random, Cyrillia was confident that Jeanie would never leave her so totally again. Random may fall in love, but Jeanie had sworn to stay with her forever.

Jesta clapped and laughed as Zack hopped, only stopping when he lost control. "Not bad, not bad at all" She smiled, taking back her juggling balls before looking back at the twins, "What now?"

"Why He carries on of course!" They smirked, "Nice juggling, but you'e not won yet!" their laughter rang out like bells.

Josh had been about to jump clear when Izzy pushed him over. He looked up at Izzy and a pale blush stole over his face. He built up his courage and was about to try and kiss her when he realised he'd not been pushed far enough. The plant caught his ankle in it's jaws, one of them cutting into his flesh and jerked itself backwards, pulling Josh from beneath Izzy to dangle upside down in the air.

The plant had a problem. It had caught one yes, but now, if he loosed his grip so he could swallow his whole body, the creature would no doubt fall o the ground and it'd have to start again. It swayed Josh a little wondering what to do..

Alice slipped her hand through to rest upon his arm. "I wonder.." She laughed. "Nope, never would have worked that out for myself!" She smiled to remind she was only playing. "Shall we traverse this pathway to look upon the babbling brook?" She asked, mocking high society speech.

Jeanie covered her mouth so her giggling would not alert the man standing beside the wheel. She watched as Random placed the clock directly behind him, marveling at the unbelievable silence he managed whilst moving in a coat covered in buckles.

Posiedon smiled at Mary, for once, she said something he could agree to. He grabbed two large mugs and filled them to the brim with Rum, a little foam rising over the top of the mug. He offered her one of the mugs, ready to drink up himself.

Gale nodded to the agreeance. Then he used his mechanical eye to read the boat, using heat signatures of pirates and everything ese he could, to read the boat the best he could, making a mental map. He smiled at her, "Right this way," he stated as he led her to the dining area. He wondered if she ignored it because she was confident of her control... or if she was afraid... Jeanie was a young girl right now, but if she began to mature... she'd have to break the chains of Cyrillia's control and make her own decisions.

Zack chuckled a nervous "Thanks," out to Jesta and then turned to the twins. "I... con-continue?!" he asked, thinking that after he failed, it would pass on to the next player. If not, he'd being doing alot that he didn't want to do...

((You all realize that you can post as the pirates as well, yes? Well.... non-important ones, like the ship driver. lol. Go ahead and have fun with it. They're characters you don't have to create profiles for. So Max and Idril... either of you could do the suprised-reaction one. wink ))

Hoot looked at this cat, the all-powerful cheshire. Again, he felt something familiar with The Cat. He stayed silent though and just continued to hold onto Antionette's hand, squeezing it gently for confidence. This place didn't seem normal to him... it didn't feel right.
