Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lorenzo eeped, freezing as he suddenly couldn't see. He flailed a little under the scarf, rolling to the side until he came out from under it and, consequently, off the booth all together. He landed on the cold ground with a soft "Urt!," giving a violent shake of his head and blinking his eyes to make sure he could still see. Zoe licked his claw for a moment, making it seem as though he'd rolled off on purpose. A quick look around reassured him that no one saw. Why'd he do that in the first place? Oh right, he was blind!

Verifying that he was not in fact blind, he scrambled back up the side of the booth and plopped down by the support that held up the "Kissing Booth" sign. He watched the exchange between the women, feeling his attention starting to turn elsewhere. The Gwee liked the pink-haired woman, but he wasn't so good at sharing attention.

His eyes possibly doubled in size when he saw the green Raevan float by. What type of Gwee was that?

Eiry blinked innocently as the other frei floated higher and raised his hand in a threatening manner. The action didn't worry him somehow, so he simply floated hopefully beside him. When he recieved his answer, the minty frei looked lost and he glanced around as if he almost expected Rivener to jump out of the crowd and take a picture of him and try to steal his soul.

Muttering sadly, Eiry rubbed his fingers, trying to warm them from the sudden cold in the area, "I miss mine-my brother. Sad. Makes me that way, it does. Wherefore you look sad, too?"

Isi, finally hearing his friend's voice, the cripple boy began to hobble towards her, thinking that Eiry was following. "Doing the best I can," he said, smiling up at her, "I was looking for you. It seems I hit one of the numbers at the Lucky Pan booth."

"O-Oh! Did you take a picture?" Chloe leaned slightly against the booth as she watched Isi head over, looking a little worried. It was icy and cold... he shouldn't really be out here, it probably wasn't the best for his health.

"A-Are you cold?"


Sad?

No. But... maybe... his wings were ugly and deformed, it made his heart squeeze with pain and his throat feel tight. It even made his eyes begin burning to think of it. He tucked them against his back carefully, turning back toward the green Frei.

The icey Raeven swept his eyes over the green one once more, taking him in more fully now that the anger was momentarily quelled.

He licked his lips, expression focused as he spoke. "...Sad.. I.. Can't up fly. Can't.... lots." The words were out but they were very much not what he had wanted them to be, his fists clenching again in frustraition.

"I did," replied the boy, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the polaroid picture he took. Handing it to her, the boy shuddered a bit from the cold and he grinned a bit, "Just a bit, but I'm sure I can last through it."

"Can't fly? Like the birds, you want?" asked Eirdirsceol softly, tilting his head to look at the icy raevan. Fluttering his wispy wings, he fluttered closer and put a pale grey hand on Roux's shoulder, looking him seriously in his blue eyes, "Too heavy with sad, yes. You're too heavy with sadsad. Be happy? Happy is lighter than sad. When you be happy, you be lighter, and up, up, up you go!" The will o wisp raevan threw his arms up and smiled brightly.

Aphismet blinked in startlement. Of course, if Alex was here she would have seen and interacted with a few Raevans. But to hear her speak about Rivener? And all this time they'd both been here, they'd managed not to see each other?

At the mention of Roux, Aph's face went through a series of conflicting emotions. Fear, annoyance, anger, tolerance, pity... All warring for supremacy of his facial features. Finally he settled on a strange mix of confusion, and fearful regret.

"So you've met Roux? By your reaction, it wasn't very pleasant. He's not a very pleasant Raevan if you don't know how to handle him; he slapped me the first time we met." He brought a hand up to his cheek, remembering the event. Almost immediately he let the hand down and smiled. "Rivener seems to be able to handle him quite well though; Riv's my Raevan. He's the red and black one you're talking about, who sold you flowers." He grinned sheepishly.


Rivener watched as a little green thing came close, and spotted him... He frowned at the creature and made a "SHHH!" gesture, hoping it wouldn't give him away... He didn't want the other two to spot him.

Alex blinked, coming out of her thoughts as she looked at Aphismet. Unfortunately, she'd missed his facial expressions, her eyes only seeing the lone Raevan at the booth, so prideful and angry. She gasped when he said that Roux slapped him. Was that what he had in mind for me? she wondered inwardly. He was so mad... The woman exhaled softly, giving a brief shake of her head. "He's not so bad," she said quietly, her face very serious. "He's...he's sad. And he seems to be lonely. I think he's going through some changes, because he's molting pretty badly." She smiled again, although it was a sheepish gesture, "I...I angered him by asking if he had dreams. I just...wanted to know what he was thinking. He's beautiful, but very arrogant. I guess he doesn't like either of us." That lone feather fell a thousand times in her mind, along with Roux's wings poised to fly...

She shook her head, then started to laugh, covering her mouth with her hand. Rivener was a Raevan! She knew that, but he was the handsome red and black one? "Oh, sweet irony," she squeezed between giggles. "That was your Rivener. And he...he has a fondness for Roux, who you seem not to care for. And here we all are, all having met. What a quaint little puzzle." Her smile softened into something more genuine, her eyes touched with mirthful amusement. "Unless your brother is a bundled little boy under the age of ten, I don't think I've met him yet."

The Gwee blinked his massive eyes at the Raevan. Alex made that motion a lot when they were in the cave with the wild Gwee. He didn't understand it, but she was generally happy when he wasn't trying to talk to her during those times. His mouth quivered, but no noise came out. Giving a shake of his wings, Zoe popped up on all fours and strode over to the black and red being, quietly crawling up the booth to sit next to him. Maybe he could see why that motion was so important, now?

Natsuki nibbled on her sweet potato gingerly. It was turning out to be a fantastic day all together. Wandering over to a bench, she sat and shook her feet. Though her boots looked fabulous, she was exausted from all the walking around. Leaning back, she watched the crowd and lost herself in thought for a little while. When she finished she walked back over to the Kissing booth, spotting another staff raevan talking with Roux.

Her steps were airy and light, as she approached the booth. She watched the wind carry away some of Roux's feathers. It was then that she realized something was wrong. She walked up to the booth marked for Eiry and waited. She gave the raevans their privacy as they seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation.

"Ah! M-Miss." A voice asked as someone tapped lightly on Natsuki's shoulder. The voice was strangled as they gasped for breath and speak at the same time, "B-But....have you seen a...a..b-boy. A-About...this high?"

A young woman stood in back of Natsuki, leaning forward as she gripped her sides in pain from all her running. Sweat rolling down the sides of her forehead as her cheeks turned a shade darker. She straighted as she showed how tall the child was compared to her.

"He's wearing...very bright clothes, and...answers to the name of..of Tyson? He's really adorable and laughs a lot! He's also really loud! Please, tell me, have you seen him?" She asked wiping away tears from her bloodshot eyes.

Lillian was trying to remain calm, but it was hard once your baby brother runs off on you during a delivery job. She had searched throughout their whole neighborhood and he was not to be found. After running further she had stumbled upon this carnival if one would call it that.

Tyson always loved these things, so if he went this way no doubt would the child have stopped to take a look around.
