Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mielikki was about to walk out of the kitchen area when she spied something else of a shiny nature. It was like a tiny pot with a straight handle sticking out to one side, all metal and it came with friends of various sizes. Mielikki reached down and picked up the tiny pot, the rest where attached by a small metal hoop. She was pleasantly surprised and plopped all of them into her bucket with the whisk. She glanced out the window and realized time was pretty much up so she snapped up her bucket and left, heading back down the stairs. On the next floor down, she could still hear the pipsqueak.

“Hey kid, it’s time to go.”

“I need help,” Mielikki heard. She sighed lifting her nose skywards, oh of course the tiny one needed help. So Mielikki followed the sounds of rummaging around and found the pintsized one in a far back room.

“What….?”

Specterdust was thoroughly surprised by her second find. This room seemed to have quite a bit left in it so she set her two finds on a sort of raised sleeping platform. She moved things aside or lifted up other items that had fallen down. Nothing seemed to really stick out at her. A small sliver of light glinted off something reflective under the sleeping platform. Curiously, Specterdust got down on the floor and looked under. A decent size rectangular metal box sat there undisturbed and forgotten. She stretched out a front leg and kicked it backwards towards the opposite side.

She jumped up and scurried over to the box and smelled it. It had a loop on the top that she grabbed and lifted. The box was dense but she wasn’t sure if it was because of what was inside. She set it back down and inspected it further. On one side it had a mental latch that she fussed at with her upper lip and teeth. It snapped up and she squeaked as it pinched a bit. Shaking her head she grabbed the loop on top once more and the lid popped open. Spectedust looked inside and there was a colorful picture of an Other that looked like the doll she found and even more underneath. They seemed to be kept together in small groups of flimsy stuff.

Specterdust nosed around the box more but that was all that was inside. The light was growing dim in the room and was too messy to look at all the items in the box. Specterdust snapped the lid back on with latch just as she heard the voice of the doe from earlier.

“I need help,” she called back.

She realized then that there was still room in the box for her other two items. She popped the lid back open and first grabbed the picture frame. It fit but the doll wasn’t going in. That’s when she noticed the doe in the doorway.

“Can I put this find in your bucket?” she asked the doe.

The doe just gave her a deadpanned expression. But finally sighed, rolling her eyes and nodded. With the doll in the bucket, the frame in the box. Specterdust picked up the metal box and proceeded to struggle back towards the stairs with the other doe in tow. Both heading down to the meeting place together.

As Dryxel made his way down to the main floor, he hoped everyone had found something interesting like he had. "Kah toh-loo oo-nye" the strange fur creature had continued to talk has Dryxel walk. "I really have know idea what you are saying?" he though because his mouth was full carrying his items.

As he walks across the lobby floor something catches Drycel's eye. A small but noticeable crack has formed in the concrete of the foundation which to be honest was not that strange in the Ruins. But what caught Dryxel eye was a small sprout of some kind. It was hard to tell what it might be or have been. The poor sprout was dying and wilting way under the pressure of the dying Ruins.

Something inside stirs in Dryxel. Setting his findings down he goes over to the sprout. "Help it grow." His muse encages him. Taking a deep breath in and back out he concentrates on the health and healing of the wither in plant. Something leaves his body and fills the air around him the gently floats down to the sprout. As if the sprout breaths in the energy it springs to life and if restored to better then before. A small smile plays across Dryxel's face he had saved the sprout and maybe he would come back to watch it flourish.

Help with the over all out come of the day. Dryxel returns to get his items. As he picks up the strange creature it chimes. "Kah oo-tye nah-bah." "Still do not understand you but ya I hope it lives too." He thinks as he walks out the door way.

Outside the joyful buck is already asking what he might have found inside. Coming up to the group, Dryxel sets his items down and the creature once again has something to say about it. "Dah noh-lah" "I do not know what you are saying thing." Dryxel says in a quit voice as to not be miss understood by the buck.

Ysalone emerged from the building carrying none of the treasures she'd found except for that bag, but she was excitable as always. The doe bounded over to her new friends with a glint in her eye. Although she couldn't bring back any of the things she'd found, the act of discovering was exhilarating. There'd be much to discuss with Roamer when she finally got back today, and no doubt he'd want to come and see these items. He was endlessly curious, not to mention he tended to feed into her completely contagious enthusiasm.

"Oh, I found a few big shiny things!" she said happily, glancing back over her shoulder as if looking for those very items. "One was a big sheet that reflected things, and another... this big heavy shiny ball with a handle. Too heavy to carry, but... they were so cool!"

She looked down at the bag slung around her neck. "Oh, and this too. I don't have anything in it, but it'll come in handy later I'm sure."
