Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lenore yawned lazily as she fished about in the canal for debris using a net. She walked to and fro along the edge of the canal, her leg's swelling having gone down immensely.

Lillian pushed her small boat to the waters edge, getting ready to take off. This was a mundane task, but FAR more pleasant than finding those horses again. Once afloat she paddled her way further off the edge, getting ready to see what she could spot in the water.

Shakuntala felt her bosom swell. Being thought of as a hero was something she always desired to be and being acknowledged as one was a big confidence boost for the skittish soul. Maybe she was just born with it, or maybe it was Neighbelline. The horse drew the best out of her, but she had to be returned with the others, and the bronze-skinned girl took her dear sweet time saying goodbye.

With a second task was presented to the group, Shakuntala was among one of them to grab a net and cast it out into the waters of the canal. She sat on the edge and swung her legs childishly, using her other hand to eat the apple that wasn't spared on another horse. With a crisp bite into the fruit, the seventeen year old waited patiently to snag something.

Somehow, Shun found himself scavenging through debris. Granted, this wasn't necessarily for himself, though he supposed it would depend on what it was he found. Grumbling to himself, he dipped a net into the water and managed to pick something up that was half submerged.

"What the hell?" he frowned lightly. It looked like a costume of sorts.

This was useless to him.

Hitting a snag, Lenore pulled up her catch, half expecting a dead body. But no, just a broken off mast. Shame.



EDIT: Ninja'd by seconds. Should've not tried being funny. gonk

Alec had woken up a few hours after his nearly collapsing in the street. Next to him was Lillian, and a stray dog. The boys heart sunk when he saw the small dog, its eyes trained on him and tail lightly wagging. "Aww..hey there girl." he smiled petting the dogs head. With that, Alec now had a new best friend. Shaking his friend awake he moved off towards home to finish properly sleeping on something other than dirt. Of course he made sure to wake the sleeping girl even if she hadn't liked it one bit. The red head vaguely wondered where Nik had gone too but for now he was too tired. He'd pester him on his offer of lunch along with Lillian another time

[exit catching up.]

The next day, he returned in time to hear brave talk about how some of them had been heroes. While he wanted to be brave, and be like those he praised so highly in story but at least this was a start. So to hear such words had his spirits up, and a smile on the red heads face. The dog he'd woken up beside came bounding towards him, tail wagging excitedly at the boy, up on her back legs paws on the human licking his face. Alec had yet to craft a proper name for the k-9 but he would in time he reasoned.

"Hey...hey down!" he laughed landing on his rear, giving the dog a hug. He'd meant to go look around but for now he was content to linger about maybe see if he could run into any familiar faces besides this fur ball. The collie was mostly orange, white and a darker brown, and wore a huge friendly smile as its tail swished padding off not far from the human she had "adopted". Alec yawned, pressing a gloved hand to his lips and stretched picking himself up off the ground.

Alec was if anything bored. Perhaps he'd go look around and see who was about. He was ready to relax, the parade would hopefully be soon. Maybe he'd go find a place to sit and watch things start up. That sounded reasonable for the now anyway. Currently, Alec wasn't much for hunting..perhaps if he spied some of the wreckage from yesterday he'd return it. It wasn't exactly like he was actively searching. More lazily skimming just out of curiosity really.

Zin was surprisingly cheerful to be fishing trash out of the canal, considering how much she had looked forward to participating in the parade itself. Still, she had volunteered for trash duty the first day; she clearly believed that someone had to do it. She had grabbed a net and was dangling it over the side, balancing with her stomach pressed against the railing and her feet off the ground. It was a rather precarious position, so it was just as well that the water passed harmlessly through the net without depositing anything heavy in it.
