Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey! That's not fair, you got a head start! But Natalie took off anyways, chasing after her sister. The forest seems different now, though. A bit, smaller? That's what Natalie had thought, but she wasn't sure.

I don't think he has that kind of power. Natalie thought, laughing mentally. She was really worried though, and tried to shove the thought of the forest's change out of her mind. She didn't want to give her sister the thought that she was worried.

As her sister slowed her speed, Natalie caught up and matched her speed. There's definitely something different about his, right? She stopped altogether, thinking about what she had done with the 40 pound rock earlier. It was no longer there. And there was definitely less pebbles and twigs on the ground.

((Soooo...as an old man, should a rapist attack you guys, and should I, like, fight him off or something?))

((Sound like a good idea.))

It looked like a few kids their age were walking out of the prison-like building. She decided to talk to them. She ran up to one of them "Hey!" she shouted. One turned, "Yea?" he asked
"Where is this? My sister and I got lost." She smiled sheepishly, trying to look tourist-ish. She guessed it works, since the kid told her the name of the town. It was the same as their town. Was there a place like this in town? She thought to her sister. "Okay, then, what's the date?"
"April 6th, 1939." He smiled and asked if that was all. She nodded and turned back to her sister.

I can't believe this. This is impossible. She thought, trying to keep herself from going crazy. Her sister seemed to be accepting it just fine, but Natalie was quite so flexible. She went to sit on a nearby bench and realized that none of the girls, except herself, were wearing long pants. A few people where staring at her like she had broken some huge taboo.

Natalie let her sister push her, and she walked into one of the stall and took off her pants and changed into the skirt. She would have to be more careful now. More 'lady-like'. It would piss her off for a while. She walked out and handed her pants to her sister, motioning for her to put them in her bag. Natalie grabbed all of her now useless textbook and threw them in the nearest trash can. Her bag was much lighter then, and she slung it across her shoulder, walking out of the bathroom/.

Dane had been following them through the trees. As he was following after them, he had lost connection with all of the animals he had previously controlled. He had stopped for a moment and noticed a few birds. He had then set up a mental connection with the bird and sent it into the sky. Then, he continued to follow the girls to the edge of the forest. He had only told them he would follow them while they were int he forest, so he sent his bird after them, and continued to search for his animals that he had lost connection with. Every time he saw another animal, he instantly set up a connection with it, and he had figured out his animals were nowhere to be found. He jumped down to the forest floor and picked up a stick. He drew signs into the dirt and attempted to summon his favorite hawk. The spell didn't work. He thought to himself, "Either it's dead, or it doesn't exist...." He decided to leave the forest to find the girls. He wanted to figure out what had happened. As he entered town, he got weird looks, and everybody was dressed differently than he remembered.
