Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cyril was maintaining a steady walk, working his way through tunnels he mostly remembered to get back to the group. Clearly he’d been optimistic when he’d encountered the chaperone. He’d thought he was just a little ways out, but he must have wandered farther than he’d aimed to while he was looking about the carvings. He wished he’d thought to bring a camera, but he’d been more focused on desert than camera. He had taken a few pictures with his phone but—

There was the jarring sensation of his foot hitting something and then the sound of metal scraping against rock. Cyril flinched, hearing a slight echo, and expecting . . . something. Nothing happened. He looked to see what had made the noise and was surprised to see a pile of silvery coins scattered about. There were a few gold coins as well, but it was mostly silver. He bent to pick them up, careful of his new pet.

The place that Aurora ended up she looked up and saw a beautiful carving of winged nagas, Aurora smiled and took out her notebook. She started to describe the carving and then took a few pictures of it with her phone. Even with all her bad luck she still thought these ruins were wonderful. The things she had found here, the familiars she had made friends with were all so amazing. Aurora smiled and not a single freshling throwing stuff at her so far to her relief. She didn't know which way her luck would go next but she would keep going as she always did.

Aedus frowned great another weird whispering sound he shook his head sharply and did his best to ignore it as he waited for Kiessi to tell him something. Otherwise, he figured maybe they would go with him, just so neither one of them were alone in these weird tunnels as they tried to find their way back to the group. Aedus was tired on going in circles maybe with the two of them they would be able to find the way back to the rest of the group. Least that was his hope, he still wanted to find Niamh, sooner rather than later.

Kayla Sue see grownup Chaperone. Asking K Sue how she was doing she tells both Coco and K Sue to remember to eat lunch. "Oh that's what I forgot to do." Kayla Sue says a smiles up at the Chaperone. "you don't mind if I sit a sec and eat do you Coco?" she was sure Coco wouldn't mind but she didn't want to be rude.



12: An adult chaperone has come to check on you. If you're injured, you are healed completely. If you're not injured, they remind you to eat your lunch.

It wasn't that he was super lost, so much as Arthur kept getting distracted. Every time he was close to joining the group again, something else would catch the demon's eye. He kept wandering farther and farther away. It wasn't so bad except that there would come a point when he would have to head back out and that would not be an easy task.

17: You hear incessant whispering in your ears. Is that someone calling your name? Are you being given instructions to do something? But you turn a corner, and the whispers stop.

However, while Arthur was caught by yet another astonishing work, he heard a voice right behind him. He turned around but saw nothing. Arthur went back to what he was doing, figuring it was just the wind. Then it came again. This time Arthur turned back super fast. He was in time to see the last end of something slithering away. Thomas!

Arthur chased after his Naga companion, but as soon as he turned the corner, there was no one there. "He must be faster than I gave him credit for," Arthur said to himself. He heard the whisper again, seemingly echoing down the hall, and he gave chase.

After a few turns Arthur suddenly found himself among the group again. Thomas must have been leading him back. When he spotted the Naga off to the side, Arthur went up to him to thank him.

"Thanks for coming to find me," Arthur said with a smile. "It was probably time I joined you. I'm sure we're almost done for the day..." He then frowned a bit, remembering how Thomas had gone about leading him back. "You didn't have to make me chase you, though. You could've just asked me to follow. And what was with the whispering?"

At some point he must have drifted away from his roommates, because Vüsala was alone in this section of the ruins. It was especially quiet. Which was odd considering how many of them that were down there exploring. As he reached the middle of the corridor, he could faintly hear whispering. Coming from behind the wall. This tunnel must be adjacent to another tunnel in the ruins, and the holes in the carvings made it thin enough to hear the other side from this one. The pair of nightmares on the other side must be speaking normally, but all he could hear was a whisper through the stone. With that determined, he continued down the tunnel, aiming to make his way back to the main group. It was getting late; they must be leaving soon.

6: Did you just feel a hand brush you? There's nobody there.

Nashira was a little sad not to take the familiar home with her, but it would be in good hands with Nadi. She continued exploring the ruins, but as she wandered around, she could have sworn she felt a hand brush against her back. "eeek!" It better not be another spider! It really better not be!

7: You hear some kind of scratching or sliding behind the wall you're walking past. That was weird.

Well, this was getting a little awkward and perhaps weird. Nicolae was looking at the different carvings when he heard scratching in the walls. It was startling, but in ruins like this, he wouldn't be surprised if there were flitterrats living in the walls.
