Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emi waved her hand, and the Fire Elemental rushed forward. It began to attack the goblins as well. After a moment, the hallway was littered with the bodies of several goblins, which seemed to fade away shortly after death. "Almost like a video game..." Emily spoke. She sighed. "Well, let's go, I guess." She walked forward, once again, entering another section of the dungeon. This section had doors going off in different directions. "So, each door is a room, I'm guessing. Each room holds either a monster or a transformation. In which case, we should probably avoid entering any of them..."

Lily walked forward, opening the door to one of the rooms. As she did, she looked around carefully. At first, there was nothing, but then, a moment later, when the door was fully open, a large, green blob-like creature came oozing out of the room. Lily shrieked and ran towards the group, hiding behind Emily. "Onee-chan, what is that?" she asked.

"I don't know..." she grabbed the staff off her back, holding it in a battle ready position. "But we'll fight it if it tries to hurt us."

The green ooze seemed to "stand up." It gurgled, then its "mouth" opened, and it spoke. "Welcome, my friends, to the Dungeon. The Gods have given me a special task that I must do. To pass each level, you must find me, and answer my riddle. Do that, and you will make it to the dragon. However, you'll never make it anywhere by following the path. Only I can open the trap doors that go down to each level." It seemed to laugh as it slowly oozed into the cracks of the floor. "I'll be waiting for you in another room. But finding me, that is going to be difficult."

Emily growled, slamming her fist against a wall. "Ever more complicated," she spoke. "Why can't it ever be simple?"

Lily looked down. "I'm sorry, onee-chan. It's my fault this is all happening...I brought the game to you. If I hadn't....this wouldn't be happening..."

"It's not your fault, Lily," Emi spoke and sighed. "We all agreed to play it, so it's our fault for playing it as well. We could have chose not to, after all." She sighed and looked forward. "Well? What do we want to do? Keep going, or open a door and see what horrors await us?"

"Unless it was lying..." Emi spoke. "Wouldn't be the first time the monster of a game has lied before...which would mean us opening doors just leads to traps, and other nasty things like that."

Lily was scared, plain and simple. She didn't want to talk, she didn't want to move. All she wanted to do was keep her arms wrapped around Emi's waist.

It was then that Emi's watch beeped, and she looked down. "What the? When did this appear on my arm?" she stared at it for a moment, then realized what was going on. She pushed a button and Tedd, the purple haired guy with the glasses from a previous adventure, popped up on the screen on the watch. "Tedd?! Is that you?!"

"Yeah, Emi, it's me," Tedd spoke. "Now, listen to me. I have been watching you all day. I was planning to make a trip over there to see you for your birthday, but as Grace and I were getting ready, we noticed the signal from your watch vanished into a board game somehow."

"Yeah, the game shrunk us down, and put us into this dungeon..."

"Well, I'll give you some help. I am sending an image of the board to your watch, so you can see where you are. The little green dot will be you, understand?"

"I think so...so, is that all the help we can get?"

"For now...I'm afraid I can't help any further until Elliot and Nanase get here. Good luck, everyone! I'll contact you again when Elliot and Nanase get here." With that, the screen on the watch changed into the image of the board.

Emi sighed. "Well, at least we have a map..."

"It would be more helpful to know where that green blob went. But then what color dot would he be? Red?" Ichigo asked. "It would be awfully confusing looking for something green, when it's red on the map." She added. She was sort of talking to herself.

Emily sighed. "Well, ok, there's us." she spoke, looking at the watch. She used the watch to look around the map. "Well, ok," she announced. "I do have red dots on my watch. As they are roaming around, I will guess they are enemies. I'm not sure, though. Not much help there...since I'm not seeing any special dots for the blob..." She looked up. "Well, let's go. We can check around and see what we got."

(ok, figured I'd make mention of this: Anyone can open a door, but to do it, you need to roll 1d6. If you roll a 5 or 6, you'll find the blob. So, anyone can find it.)

"Eep!" Emi shouted. "Fisshu, don't fling doors open so carelessly! " She sighed. "Well, the door is open, so let's see what's in it." The fire elemental walked forward, into the door, illuminating the dark room. After a moment, it came back out, a long, huge snake following it close behind. The snake hissed, it was none too pleased. "Oh crap," Emi spoke. "All I have is this stupid fire elemental..." she spoke. Luckily, the elemental wasn't as useless as it seemed, for it now began shooting fireballs at the snake, which, for some reason, didn't really seem to do much. It didn't help, though, that the monster's head was the size of a 20 inch TV, and the fireballs were the size of marbles. "Yeap...so totally useless..." Emi spoke, grumbling.

((Summary? D: When I skimmed, I mostly got that they went forward and entered a room with snakes...))

((And we're fighting it? D: ))

((I need to check what I made my characters. XD))

Pez squealed. It was very un-Pez-ish.

"What, what?!" Sam shouted, looking around, jumping in front of his cute little sister. He paused for a minute and saw the snake. "OH MY GOD IT'S A SNAKE!" he screamed. He and Pez huddled together in a corner. Apparently, the family has a serious phobia of snakes.

"Hi Mister Snake!" Serori said cutely. "We're going to defeat you!" She drew her sword and flamed it up. She began charging head first at the snake, with a strategy tucked up her sleeve. Not literally.

"Okay, so... What the heck am I supposed to do?" Leichi asked. "This is so frustrating! If I were some giant animal, it might help!" Suddenly, Leichi turned into some sort of giant animal. "Shi-" she almost swore. Just as quickly as she had changed into the animal, she was normal again. "So... I can transform?"
