A soft breeze glided across the freshly cut grass. The three feiens from the Riddle household currently laid on their back, admiring the clouds that floated above.

Shux grew tired of resting on her backside, thus adjusted over to her stomach. Elonas seized this opportunity to jump on the darkness feien’s back, instantly curling for the most comfortable sleeping position.

Rislin huffed annoyingly. 'This is no fun. There must be something better to do.'

'You should enjoy nature for all it can give.' Semella replied calmly.

Shux snerked. 'Watching the clouds could be useful. Maybe if you studied them, you can notice things that others may not.'

'How is that fun?'

'Well, then what do you propose we do instead?'

Rislin thought on this for a moment. 'However, she came up empty. I donno.'

'I suggest you come up with a better idea if you’re going to be changing things around. If you don’t, chances are more likely you will end up worse than you were before.'

Huffing again, Rislin decided to give the silent treatment to Shux for the rest of the day. Shux found this a benefit rather than a punishment.

: biggrin ay 99 ~ 26 August::

Lori walked the aisles of bolts of fabric, pulling out random ones to see if they striked her fancy. The human dragged her feiens along, well more like dragged Shux with them. The other two were quite happy to be going somewhere. Needing fabric for her next costume idea, Lori took a trip to the local fabric shop.

'I can’t believe you forced me out to do this.' Shux said bitterly.

'I like that one, Lori. It’s quite pretty.' Rislin pointed out a purple bolt with white clouds on it.

'You know. I could possibly make some outfits for you three. Well, maybe I will wait to make you one Rizzy. ‘Til you’re an adult that is. Would be a shame to make something that you couldn’t wear anymore. I could use Barbie patterns. Shux is about the right size.'

'Barbie! I don’t think so.'

Semella stayed quiet. She thought of the clothes that Julius had given her on the night of her rebirth. She had not worn them still. Maybe it was time that she should.

'Fine. I could just use it as base. Why not look thru some magazine for some ideas on what you want?'

'Why the sudden interest to make us clothes?'

'Jesus, Xaria. Trying to be nice seems to do nothing with you. Forget it then.'

'I want clothes. It would be neat.' Rislin cut in. She didn’t want Shux to ruin this chance for her.

'Okay then. I’ll make you come clothes when you grow. It’ll be your present. '

Lori took her bolts of fabric to the counter and told the helper how much of each she wanted.

Help Me
I broke apart my insides
Help Me
I’ve got no soul to sell
Help Me
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

The music blasted from the speakers of the Riddle household. Currently, Nine Inch Nail’s ‘Closer’.

'Gah! Hisa do you really need to have it this loud?' Semella jetted into the room covering her ears.

'Go outside if you don’t like it. I like it loud. Gives a better effect.' Shux shouted back.

The rain feien zipped straight to Shux’ face. 'If you don’t turn it down, Lori will be hearing about this.'

'Oo a tattle tale now. Great. Now I have to watch my back with everything I do.' Shux reached a hand up, using her power to press in the power button so please Semella.

'I didn’t ask you to turn it off, just down to a reasonable level.'

Shux did not feel like responding. Instead, she chose to leave Semella where she stood.

((RP that took place in the Tavern))

Shux entered closely followed by Semella and Rislin. The latter two had yet to met other feiens, so Shux thought they should make themselves known to others.

Rislin took to looking around the tavern seeing if she could find anything of interest. Semella sat in a nearby chair while twisting a strand of her hair nervously.

Not in the mood to be around many others, Shux hid in the shadows.





Rislin noticed a new feien and a human had appeared within the tavern. She looked back and forth between the two, deciding which one she should give attention to. She though the feien would be a better choice.

She landed softly in front of Ianios and looked up at him curiously. 'Hello, sir.' she muttered softly.

Semella thought she should make the human comfortable in the taven, thus went to greet her. 'Hello human. Is that a feien bloom you keep behind your ear?'

((RP to be divided into separate posts))

: biggrin ay 109 ~ 5 September cont.::

((RP between Magiale and Semella))

Magiale blinked. Was that a glint of purple? Yes. It was. And it had spoken to her.
"Hello, yes, this is a feien bloom." she replied with a polite smile, her gray eyes trying to focus on the somewhat fuzzy outline of the purple feien in front of her.
"What's your name?"
'My names Semella. It's nice to see more blooms. Then again, I've only seen one, Rislin's.' she pointed over her shoulder to the purple feien standing by Ianios.

She nodded and carefully removed the swirly yellow bloom from her ear, letting it rest on the palm of her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Semella."
She looked over to where the feien had pointed, but could barely see the two feien conversing. She could pretend.
"Well, then, I guess you three are the only feien I've actually seen yet. My name's Magiale. And this bloom - "
She paused for a second.
"- doesn't have a name yet, unfortunately."

Semella smiled and gave a small curtsy. 'I haven't met any feien myself. I've mostly stayed at home. But I must come out more often. I shall like to meet your feien once it is born.'

Magiale smiled and put the little bloom behind her ear again.
"I'm sure this feien would love to meet you as well."
Finding that standing around was odd, she sat down at the human-sized bar, noticing the place was empty of workers.

Semella took Magiale's lead and flew to the counter. She looked the human over. 'I'm glad to see you spend so much time with your bloom. My bond hardly had time to spend with Rislin's. I usually took care of her. Any leads on which element it might be?'

Magiale gave a small laugh.
"I'd like to say that I've spent a lot of time with my bloom, but I really haven't..." She looked a bit sheepish. "I've been a bit busy...hopefully I can spend more time with it now. And as for element...well..."
She took the little bloom from her ear again and looked it over.
"I dunno. What do you think?"

Semella crept closer to the bloom. She extended one of her purple hands towards the bloom and stroked it softly. 'Well, I heard tests are the best way to tell it's element. I know just looking and element colour have no effect on the outcome. Have you tried any test?'

Magiale shook her head, looking a bit sheepish again.
"Nope. No tests, unless putting it behind an ear counts."
She looked down at the bloom thoughtfully.
"What's your element, Semella?"

Semella thought on this. 'Well, behind the ear could be considered warmth. Or it could just be a form of bonding with the bloom.' she she gave a small shrugg. 'My element is Rain. Although I have yet to see some in real life. I have no idea what my gifts are. Hopefully someday I will find out. I'm sure I knew what they were in my past life though.'

Magiale nodded, considering.
"I hope it likes the warmth, then."
She looked at Semella, tilting her head to the side. "Rain...interesting. But what is this about a 'past life'?"

'I was a gem when my bond, Lori, first saw me. Naturally, that means I have lived once before. But I do not remember anything from my past. Lori has told me that I am considered an ancient. There are two others who share the same title. I have met on breifly. Julius. He told me my name and gave me these clothes. I can only assume he had known be previously. I would like to talk with him. Maybe he can give me clues to how I was in my past life. I didn't feel comfortable in my clothes before. I had not worn them cause of it. But I have accepted wearing them now.'

Magiale smiled, though she really felt quite intimidated by all the information.
"So...There were other feien before? And you remember nothing about your past life?"
Her questions were more rhetorical than anything else. She leaned back on her chair somewhat, impressed.

Semella nodded. 'As far as I know, Julius is the only feien and being, that knows the history behind feiens. Unless he has told much Em about out species.'

"Well," She said after squinting at her watch, "I have an...appointment that I mustn't miss. Eye doctor appointment...actually." She looked a bit sheepish again.
"Nice meeting you, Semella."
Magiale carefully picked up her bloom again and set it behind her ear before leaving.

Semella smiled and waves at Magiale as she exited the tavern.

((RP between Valsharess, Rislin and Semella))

Val came into the Tavern slowly. She hovered rather then flew. Slowly. Her arms were crossed nonchalantly across her chest and the striped feien blinked calmly at her surroudings and sat down on a stool. She looked at the others who were there, her first time seeing other feien, and just nodded with a small smile.

"Hello.. Valsharess is my name."

Both Semella and Rislin turned in the direction of Val's voice.

'Ah another new feien. Today is turning out quite exciting, no?' Rislin said.

Semella walked to the new feien and held a hand out. 'Hello. I'm Semella, this is Rislin. How are you this evening?'

Val looked at the hand and extended her own in a loose shake. "Hello Rislin and Semella." She tilted her head to the side like she was examining them.. or trying to figure things out. "As well as can be expected.. If one were to expect anything at all." She looked around. "I must admit I don't exactly know what IS to be expected. You will both be the first of our kind I have met. It should be very interesting I think."

Semella chuckled at Val's comment.

But it was the time feien who responded. 'We know the feeling. Today is out first day being around others of our kind. Well, except the ones that live in our household. It's a great experince. I hope to come out more often.'

Semella nodded in agreement.

"Hmm I suppose.." Val looked around. There was a pause of silence. Valsharess was a bit of an odd one it seemed.

"What are you named for?" It seemed a valid question. She knew what she was named for.

Semella smiled. 'I do not know where my name came from. I was reborn and another ancient, Julius, told me my name was Semella.'

Rislin pipped up shortly afterwards. 'Mine is short from Charisma Aislin. I guess my bond liked the two names, but wanted to mix them. Who knows. What about yourself?'

"My name means Queen in the Drow language." She stated plainly. "The drow are dark elven. They worship spiders. Notably. Evil. Which I am not, of course. Not that I know of. I may be. Does one usually know if they are evil? Hmm.." She fell silent and looked contemplatively at the counter of the mini feien bar.

"Gallium named me. By accident I think. She is a Mendel. She calls herself a," Val finger quoted and talked slowly as if to duplicate the words exactly, "'******** ******** up freak experiment gone wrong.' You'll have to pardon her speech," she acted as if the other were there, "she is rather vulgar and uncultured. Not that you've met her. Perhaps you'd like to. Or not. I don't really know what you'd like. To each his own, I'm told."

She sort of rambled. But it was an organized ramble, not a careless flighty one. She seemed to know exactly what she meant on all of her tangents even if others didn't.

"My bonded is named Halo. She is odd as well, very like Gallium. Perhaps the mendel adopted her traits? Perhaps I will develop the same traits over time... Do you think I will?" She didn't quite care for the idea of being vulgar.

Rislin thought on this. The new feien had made many points. It was best to take them one at a time.

'Well, I don't think one is really born evil or good. It's learned. Or earned, depending on who the subject is.

As for the mendel, I have no clue what that is. But the language does not offend me. We hear plenty of it from our bondmate. She usually uses a lot of it after a bad day at work.

And adopting traits of the bond? Well, I think the other feien in our household is quite a lot like our human. Yet me and Semella don't seem to be much like her. Except that maybe both Lori and Semella can't remember their pasts, but for different reasons.'

"So Semella, you cannot remember you past? That is to say that you have a past to remember? I suppose I was just born so I do not have one. What does it feel like? Anything at all? do you feel odd or empty, a void of nothingness? A caucophany of confusion?" She tilted her head.

"If it is troublesome, we should discover it for you. or learn it. If possible of course. I would help you if you like.. if only to learn more about such things."

Semella shook her head softly. 'Unfortunately, I do not remember my past life. I died and turned into a gem. But as my bond tells me, another feien, Corvus, wanted to test his powers. So he decided he would bring a gem back to life. Thus me. I do not remember anything. I just worry about how I died? Was it old age? Was I murdered? The only one who could possibly know is Julius, since he seemed to have known me from a past life. Hopefully some point in the future I will quest to see him, and possibly get information I may need about my past.'

"It may be painful to learn. whatever it was. Makes one think if the truth should always be known or if delusions should be allowed to rule. I suppose it depends on perspective.. if one thinks about such things. So you will Quest to Julius then? Is one always expected to quest? I wonder if I shall and what should it be? Do I decide this now or wait? You seem to already know.. so why don't you quest now?" Val tilted her head again and pushed some red hair away from her face.

"I should like a good quest. I think." She smiled a bit.

Semella chuckled a bit more at all of the questions that came flying by. 'For some reason I would like to know. I just know that it would my on my mind all the time if I didn't. It is already. So I'm pretty confident that I will quest to see Julius. I can't go yet, Lori says I need to learn a bit more before I can go to see him. Questing to him is a decision for you to make. I guess each one is different.'

"Hmm I suppose it will come to me then? Divine inspiration. Messages from the gods. Or perhaps random notes sent down by demi-gods with nothing better to do. Either way.. Yes. I'll have to think on that as well. There is a lot to being born and alove and no longer a bloom. It's rather complicated isn't it? Living I mean. But you must do it. Once you start it doesn't stop. Like breathing." She chuckled. "Well it could stop.. but disaster eh? Breathing is nice." She took a deep breath and blew it out and smiled, small wings flittering behind her.

"Are you going to quest Rislin? You are new.. like me. No past lives. What do you plan on doing with the new life, non stop, unescapable?"

Rislin smiled at Val. This one definately had a lot on their mind. 'I'm not sure if I wish to quest. Depends on how I feel, I guess. Would be good to learn something. But I'm far away from even thinking about that.' She stopped to think about Val's other point. 'Yes, I'm new as well. I have no future plans on what I am to do. I still need more research on what I like and dislike. I know so little about myself.' she finished sadly.

"Experimentation.. mm hmm." She nodded. "Yes. Discovery. Good things I hear. I know little as well. I do not wish to become my bonded. That seems like no fun. I will have to discover on my own, away from her. Perhaps Gallium ended up that way because she can not fly away where she'd like. I won't be that way."

Val looked at her own hands idly, stretching and wriggling her fingers, she nodded a bit at whatever inward monologue she had with herself. "Perhaps you and I should test things together, being both new and unknowing of the world. Or do you think we would influence eachother negatively? Hmm I don't know."

Rislin's eyebrows raise a little at Val's suggestion. 'Experimenting together. That should prove fun. I doubt we would effect each other negatively.' Rislin sat in her spot, playing out this thought in her head. 'What would we begin with? Tastes? Sounds?'

"Tastes and sounds.. Colors.. Pictures? Those movie things?" She shrugged. "We should think on it. I feel a need to go. I don't know why. I don't question impulses. Will you be aorund?"

She stood up and hovered again. "Don't wory my new friends, Semella and Rislin, we will meet again. I will make sure. I know such things." She smiled and nodded. "We will experiment and attempt the mystery described as 'fun'. I will speak with my bonded about this. I am sorry I must leave. Don't think ill of me." She raised her hand and waggled her fingers a bit in farewell.

"Goodbye." Valsharess smiled again and hovered to the door and out.



Very. Odd. Girl.

Rislin and Semella smiled at Val and waved as she went away. Rislin shouted as she flew away. 'I'll look forward to our experiments!' Rislin was happy to have made a friend.
