Welcome to Gaia! ::

During all her freaking out, she hardly noticed the girl who was even calling out to her, more so darting her bright blues around at the cats that were of various species, rubbing against her. Clutching her dinky handbell to her chest, along with her little blue egg, she finally noticed that one girl..

what was her name? oh well, she was calling out to her!

Running over, Bea gasped, and widened her eyes, "Hey! whathappened to you!? why do you look so beat up?!" she asked immediately, looking down at herself, to the girl that was on the ground. When her own weapon was mentioned, she held the handle out from her, and wrinkled her nose, staring at it, "I... guess? I'm not really sure what's going on!" she exclaimed in agony, before dropping down to her knee's, a sabertooth tiger skeleton rumbling deeply and resting its cheek against her. Pinning her own fluffy ears back, she frowned lightly, "No... I don't know what I wished for... But I know it definitely wasn't for all of this!" she tossed her arms to gesture to what was around them, and gave a great huff of dissatisfaction.

Istas smiled, "Oh good, I'm glad." She said looking relieved that the other girl was okay. It wouldn't do if one of them got really bad hurt, maybe she shouldn't've used her crystal if she'd known things like this were going to happen.

The grin continued at Nila spoke and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you." Istas added with a nod, of course when she was asked if she knew what was going on there was a small pause, "Uh... I'm pretty clueless myself." She said after Nila explained that she didn't remember much either. "I mean apparently we said we'd fight but I... don't know what we're fighting and why." She looked thoughtful, "And... I don't know about a wish.... I mean obviously I had one since it keeps asking if I remember. . ."

There was a small frown, "Maybe we could figure it out together?"

Elspeth looked toward Zelda and contemplated. What their wish was? What their wish was... she felt her gem, her fingers tracing along the cracks of it, fearful that any sort of pressure could cause more cracks. The chain-wielder was certainly right about the situation. Who does enlist a bunch of girls, give them magical powers, wipe them of their memories, and force them to fight for their lives against these monsters? She certainly did not know the answer to that, then again, it would make things much more clear.

"What I want to know is why we don't have our memories anymore, Zelda. If we had them, maybe we could make a better guess at what these 'wishes' were." She stepped forward. "I don't know what I'd wish for..."

She looked at Poppy and frowned slightly, none of them seemed prepared for any of this but her compassion was a stark contrast to the violence they were facing. She kept her mouth shut since there seemed plenty of other girls offering comfort and assurances.

Instead she turned her attention to Zelda and the group of girls nearest. She still felt that retreat was the best option, but then the wish was mentioned and she bit her lip lightly.

"I was thinking about the wish, but then obviously was distracted by..." She motioned with a frown and then continued. "I can't recall what I wished for, but I know enough about myself and this situation to know that I probably didn't wish for wealth or longevity. I wonder if we got our wishes already or if they aren't granted to us until we do that things bidding and fight against...these things?"

It seemed she had more questions than answers, but at this point no one really seemed to have any concrete answers. She sighed softly and her finger brushed against the green fear core lightly assuring herself it was still there and in one piece despite it's slight fracture.

Determined to do more damage on her second hit, Keiko moved in with more resolve. This time she managed to hit with full force and do twice the damage of her fist hit. Pleased with her progress, Moriko went in for her final hit.

As Keiko moved away from the monster, one of it's many tendril's hit her square in the back. She cried out in pain as she tumbled away from the creature. Her back stung and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes. Quickly she tried to blink them away. It wouldn't do to start being weak now.

She looked down at the wound, though it was difficult to get too good of a look, she could still see that her skin had been corroded and several black wisps were escaping from it. She attempted to touch the wound, though fearful of the extra pain she might feel. Instead, she simply felt a numb tingling sensation. For a brief moment her legs began to shake, she wasn't sure if it was out of fear or some unnatural cause. However, the feeling passed quickly and she began to feel better. She only hoped that they might be able to defeat this monster without many more injuries.

Maria glanced back where the monster still was. She couldn't believe it. That thing was still standing! What was it going to take to bring that thing down? She looked around the area they were still in and spotted so many other girls. They were all charging at the monster and fighting it with all their might. Some of them looked like they did some real damage. But even then, the monster didn't go down. She wan't so much to go and help but knew she wouldn't be of use right now. Her best bet was to stay away from the monster for now. The last thing she needed was to get injured again when she couldn't fight.
"I don't know... It's strong. That's for sure. Who knows how long it will take." She answered Ridley's question about the monster. "It looks like quite a few of the other girls are doing some good damage. But..." she looked back to her group. "It seems like the monster doesn't even notice them..."
The first thing that came to mind was, what if it'd not defeated? What if their attacks aren't really doing anything to it? Will they be stuck here fighting it? If that's the case, could they run away? Seek a different place to hide till it goes away? A bunch of questions flooded her head at once. Many of them had to do with the monster and what they could do if it didn't go down. Others hand to do with where they were and where they could go if it didn't. She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck as she looked at her friends. They were all pretty tired and she didn't want to worry them further. So rather then say anything, she kept quiet about that.
"Wishes?" Maria was brought out of her thoughts by Ridley and Tamara's talk of wishes. "Oh yes! That's right. It did say something about wishes. That's right. It asked if we knew what our wish was." She looked at both Ridley and Tamara. They couldn't remember theirs ether. She frowned and shook her head. "No... I cant seem to remember mine..." She closed her eyes as she hung her head for a moment. "But..." She looked back up at them. "For some reason, the word protection keeps coming to me. Maybe mine had something to do with that?"
Before she could say anything else, they were joined by another girl. Maria smiled at her. Looks like their little group was growing. Good! The more in a group, the better they could all protect one another. She smiled and nodded when Ridley introduced her to the new girl. The girl seemed a little nervous and uncertain. Maria knew how she felt. She felt the same way at first when she woke up and found a little fuzzy creature with long ears, talking to her.
"Hello. It's nice to meet you Phaedra." She then frowned. "No... sadly its not a hallucination." She looked at Phaedra. "Don't worry... we all saw it... see it. I guess would be the correct term, since the thing is still there...." Again she took another glance back toward the monster. When Phaedra asked if any of them remember'd their wish, she shook her head. "No... we were just talking about that too when you walked up. Do you? I think mine had something to do with protection. The word kept coming up in my head."
