Welcome to Gaia! ::

She took some confidence form last attack. She breathed deep and watched the unknown monster straightly. She felt her Fear. Violent Attack! She said in violent voice.

A voice was speaking somewhere beside her, but she felt so tired...

Do you remember your wish?

Milo jerked awake, drowsy and in pain, as though she was very sick. Her arms felt like lead. Her fear core, which sat faithfully near her, was leaking black smoke through thick, ugly looking cracks. Milo tiredly raised a hand and smacked at it, trying to stifle the smoke. It spluttered and ran through the gaps in her fingers instead.

"My wha?" her tongue was thick and dry her in mouth, like she'd bitten it. Maybe she had. Next to her other leg still sat the shiny, delicate crystal, which radiated a soothingly cool aura. Impulsively Milo decided to touch it with her other tired, heavy hand, and was surprised to find a gentle, peaceful feeling flooding through her. Her fingertips tingled.

You pushed him, didn't you! He fell because of you!
I didn't! I swear I didn't!
He'll never play violin again! Look at him! It's all your fault!

My wish! Milo gasped, startling herself awake again. The fragmented nightmare she'd been having had simply faded away to the back of her mind, as she blinked, groping for the soothing crystal object that she'd been trying to pick up. Her fingers grasped empty air. Glancing over, Milo saw with surprise that only tiny fragments remained. Had she broken it somehow? Had someone stepped on it?

"What about my other..." she muttered, feeling around for her fear core on the other side. Immediately she plucked it from the ground and examined it closely, but it appeared absolutely pristine. The thick black smoke that had been billowing from it before was gone -- as were the thick, long cracks.

"Huh," she muttered to herself. "I feel better too."

Milo glanced around, pulling herself up to her feet, and trying to spot her old friends.

(( Was at 80% damage, but used the crystal that dropped to heal on self. ))

Name: Milo
Age: 15
Color: Blue
Weapon: Ice shortsword (Mage)
No brain to mouth filter and an explosive emotional personality. At least she's honest?

She took the crystal, eyeing it curiously as the figure appeared. R-replenishing her FEAR? Without even thinking, Kleio put it next to her orange gem she had like the creature had said. Within moments, she felt a lot better. That was good, right?

Her wish? But what was... uh--

"Fighting together sounds good!" She piped up. "But um, does anyone... remember anything about a wish?" Kleio was getting more confused each minute.






+people around Thalia!! OUO

She tried to escape form the monster. When she got closer to that creature, she smelled somewhat sweet floral scent. It was very odd, she regarded it her mis-smelling. The tendril whipped very closer of her, but not her luckily.

After ran away from the monster, she felt little dizzy. But after she took a deep breathe it went away.

"You too, though I guess we're as...okay as we can be in this situation," Thalia nodded in response to Alvar, lifting a hand to rub at her temple, "I just don't know what to make of this whole situation but--Kleio! There you are!"

Her shoulders, which she had unknowingly had tensed, suddenly sagged with relief at the arrival of the familiar face. That was one girl down--just a few more, including little Joce, to go, but until then she turned to look at the other girls when they gave her their names. Tatiana and Adelaide...yes, she would remember those names. To the former, she gave a little shake of her head and smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Likewise, though I wish that we could have met under better circumstances. This is..." Grimacing, she made a vague gesture towards their surroundings, and then reached into her pocket to withdraw the gem she had been trying to keep safe.

Indeed, just as Tatiana and Adelaide had both said, these things definitely did seem to be tied to their health somehow. After taking that strike, not only had she suffered physical damage, but so too had the pink crystal. It looked like it was the same case for the others too. "In that case, it makes you wonder...if you don't have one of those crystals handy," She paused to gesture towards the crumbled remains of the object that Adelaide had once been holding. "And these cores sustain a great deal of damage, does that mean that we'll...?"

She couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence. After a moment of silence, she gave a firm shake of her head. "Though at this point in time, it feels like we have no choice but to plow on forward. Fighting together sounds like a hell of a plan to me."

The tentacle thing seemed to be recoiling, at least, from what Cassandra (and the other girls!) had done. Ugh, that thing was - it was really scary. She was pretty sure that if she could wish now it'd be for a chance to pull herself to the side and barf (although strangely enough she didn't actually feel the need to barf).

She quickly lowered her shell, though, as she noticed a crystal in front of her. Andra's mouth fell open again, and she swung the shell back onto her...back. She was so good with words. Then she reached out for it, because it was pretty and shiny and she was twelve (definitely, certainly, for sure!). And the little white thing showed up again, and posed weirdly, and - and again there was that voice in her head. But it wasn't talking!

She listened to the voice, though, and turned her gaze from the crystal to the bigger green egg crystal that had been floating at her side. It was - wait, when had it become all cracked and stuff? She clutched it to her chest and winced - should she use it? What if she needed it, well, later?

She was able to put that train of thought to the side, though, when she remembered the wish thing.

"Um, I..." she began. Then she stopped. What wish? Had she gotten here through a wish? "Maybe it was about, um, turtles! Or...or...singing? Bones? Making friends?"

She could admit it freely: Cassandra had no idea what she'd wished for.

Awesome! her cats were attacking that... thing! and were surprisingly effective! gnawing away, and chomping the strange body that was before her! squealing with glee that she was actually helping, and doing something, Bea looked around to see if anyone else saw how amazing fantabulous her cats were doing! for the second round she gave some hoops and hollers of encouragement to keep her feline companions going!
