Welcome to Gaia! ::

~The taxi pulled up to the front gate and the driver assured Sammi that this was her stop. With a growl, Sammi hopped out of the cab, brining with her a small trunk and a cage with a satin blanket over it. Her hair hung loosly to her shoulder and was sort of a mess, seeing as how the driver decided it would be fun to drive with the windows down. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, the driver closed the door to the taxi and sped away, taking her dress which had been caught in the door with it. Sammi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and trudged onward. Maybe when she found Eliza things would look up. Maybe~

"gosh it's cold!" Sammi was already fed up with the day. SHe honesly had it in her mind to drop off the parcels in hand and leave...but now she needed clothes. Squinting into the darkeness, Sammi could tell there was a light ahead. "Good" she muttered. Now she could get warm and comfy, and dressed, and- >splat< Sammi fell face first into a puddle. Now feeling as though things could and would get worse...she lay there. If they were going to get worse, she would have her face buried in mud.

Sammi smirked. "Oh but a cold would be most appreciated right now. A cold I can handle...its a jerk taxi driver, a mud puddle and a crybaby bat that opress me." She shook her fist towards the sky. "I can take more! You can't get the best of me you know!" Her gaze fell forward and she exploded into laughter. This was truly a day she couldn't forget, though lord knows she would try. "So how have you been?" She turned a muddy complexion to Eliza, who was wooing the bat.

Bandages. Bandages were wrapped all over her body. Gauze, actually. I guess that's what you'd call it. She resembled a newly wrapped mummy, leaving out holes for her eyes, nose, and mouth. Strands of apple red hair stuck out from under those bandages. The girl wore a loose, olive green sweater and tan shorts that reached up to her knees over those bandages. Slightly dirt-covered pink bunny slippers concealed her feet. The girl slowly, but steadily made her way over to the amusement park's hotel. On either side of her was a will-o'-wisp, bluish gray in color, following her. Spirits who passed by her would stare at her for a moment, but the girl simply minded her own business.. The girl felt quite tired and dizzy, and she didn't really feel like herself. The sound of a gun firing a bullet echoed within her mind, along with evil laughter and the chopping noise of an axe.

Ah yes, she remembered everything that happened that night, her spirit watching as corpse was chopped into pieces. It was as if she was part of some horror movie. Ikue Uehara walked into the hotel, her cold gray eyes scanning the lobby. Ugh, she felt so stiff and wanted to remove these bandages immediately, once she gets to her room. Her right hand reached into her pocket, searching for the key to her room, but found nothing. Damn it.. I must have left it back home.. but I can't go back. It was also very embarrassing, dressed and bandaged up like this in public.. and what if Bertram were to see her like this? The 'mummified' girl pouted and plopped down onto a nearby vacant couch. It happened all too quickly, and it was random. Two nights ago, Ikue was told to go back home by her father, who had found out about her training to become an expert medium at this amusement park. Had Mother told him about it? Then, when she arrived home, her father killed her and chopped her up into pieces.

Ikue's once serious and reserved father was now some insane man, and it made Ikue wonder what caused him to do that. And where was Mother? The next thing she knew, was that she was lying down in a hospital-like bed, feeling numb. A woman sat in a chair, next to the bed, a woman by the name of Dr. Ranya. Dr. Ranya, a shaman, and a group of other expert scientists and surgeons have successfully brought the girl back to life. If it weren't for the shaman, who was able to place Ikue's soul back into her body, Ikue's body would have been nothing but a worthless corpse.

And now she was here, back at the JdH's hotel, still bandaged up. As a result of the operation, Ikue's body was not to grow any longer, for the rest of her life, but the girl felt a little stronger, physically.

(( xd xd Lmao, well, she's not exactly a mummy. She's eventually going to take 'em off, and have these pretty neat stitches around her body. Sort of like Frankenstein, but not as hideous and excluding the screws that stick out of the neck. xp ))

(( Yeah, she's composed of her own body parts. They just put it back together again. xp If you want to see what she looks like now, the link to the picture is right on my sig. She's standing next to Kiran, heh. Her appearance hasn't changed that much, but I'll probably add something. If I could think of anything, that is. xd ))

(( Green skin and red hair. XD Sounds kind of Christmas-y. I was thinking of changing her skin color so that the stitches would, um, show better.. maybe yellowish skin. xd Simpsons. ))
