Welcome to Gaia! ::

Melanae nodded moving over to the side and pushed a tree branch out the way revealing the fresh green fields "See for yourself, theres a momma shoopuf out there and her stroppy teenager not far behind" she whispered pointing to the creatures peacefully munching on the grass.

Amane smiled focusing on the smaller shoopuff trying not to squeal "They are so big yet really cute, I just love those curly noses and would love to ride one someday" she whispered excitedly dancing on the spot.

Seph hesitated clutching the hilt of her sword debating whether or not to draw her blade and beat up the adamantoise "Demons don't wear clothes so I couldn't exactly go to a store and buy them. Plus it feels great and was really hot around where Alpha lived" she answered.

Hebal frowned sitting down on a log to think "Actually Felina, Oassu and Jenna are going in the direction of one pin and Seph and Itaka are in the other direction so we can look anywhere. Maybe we could try all the yummy fruit tree areas" she suggested.

Alpha laughed kicking up a small pile of leaves "You can set as many traps up as you want so long as you tell us how to spot them I don't particulaly feel like falling into any deep pits today or getting my leg stuck or being put in a cage"

Oassu nodded advancing gently and making another signal at Jenna viewing through some trees at the river. Jenna peeked out and shook her head at Oassu "Ah ok go on through there's no animals there yet though this might be a place for us to try setting a trap" he said relaxing.

Gil chuckled gently stroking Satoshi's leg "Well you'd have to be a pretty lousy beastmaster to lose control of your fiends, and a beastmaster could simply tame another monster nearby but sure it's a silly theory people becoming fiends" he said kissing her ear.

Barbaros shrugged putting out his Cigar and pulling a sandwich out of his bag for a snack "Sure would those traps even work on something as large as a unicorn?" he asked trying to picture something.

Zadina gasped "They....they...I just wanna hug them so much....." he said quietly shaking slightly with the tension to hug them "I've never seen one of them before...just gotta add it to the book" he said opening his book and preparing a scan spell.

Itaka smiled walking a different direction leaving the adamantoise be "Your only half demon remember, humans wear clothes and I'm betting if you wanted to some clothes Gria styles would work for you" he said putting his arm around Seph as they walked.

Mari giggled "That sounds like a brilliant plan, I bet Sophia and Ivy would like it too" she said following Ivy with her gaze as she flew about "Lead on Hunter Hebal!" she said drawing her sword and pointing it.

Felina grinned pulling Oassu down towards the sound of the river until they reached the edge "Do you have any ideas as to what traps we could set up? But first let me check the water quality, theres no point sitting around if its no good for drinking" she told him bending down at the edge of the water in search for plants and fish.

Satoshi turned around kissing Gil back on the cheek "You would have to be really good beastmaster to tame any fiend in a matter of seconds. Anyhow follow me, it may not be a unicorn I have found but something that could be around a similar size has been disrupting the spiders this morning" she added pulling him off in another direction.

Hayate sighed giving his bag a good shake "I think we could set a big trap and make it work provided it was done properly. I have pleanty items that would wear down a unicorn if we saw one but it would risk poisoning it so that would not be a good idea... say Barbaros you don't have a spare cigar by any chance?"

Seph grinned searching around the forest cautiously before kissing Itaka back on the neck "Banagaa have a lot of armor type clothes and shirths and things specially made to survive long hard battles which is why I suggested them. Maybe I'll consider gria clothesat a later date" she shrugged admiring herself in the reflection of a puddle of melted snow.

Hebal shrugged skipping around a small tree then gave it a good shake "Look out below Mari or standback in case you get hit by one of these" she warned shaking the tree causing a bunch on lemons to rain down on the two of them "Lots of vitamins alright, you can eat some of the fruit so long as you leave some on the ground for later"

Alpha rolled his eyes stepping a little further away from Hayate "Nothing personal, I just don't want to be too close to you while you smoke your cigars. Won't we just need a shovel for a trap and keep checking throughout the day on what we have caught.

Melanae frowned rapidly shaking her head at Zadina "No no no no no sneaking up won't do, that will only make the shoopufs less trusting and more likely to run away. If we want any chance of seeing them today we'll have to go really quietly and slowly" she instructed.

Amane waited for Zadina to finish his scan before biting her lip and slowly moving towards the creatures. "Umm... hello theere really big shoopuf's don't mind us we aren't going to do any harm" she greeted the shoopufs cautiously taing a step forward causing the beasts to turn their heads.

Oassu chuckled "I'm sure it does but the jutsu is just a little thing like this" he said standing to the side of the area he touched and dropping one gil piece into it, where sank in immediately "It's just a little quicksand jutsu" he shrugged waving to Jenna who was letting Boco drink on the other side of the river.

Gil frowned evading the trees "So what is it you think we have found? Anything worthwhile or unusual?" he asked stabbing a goblin who blinked confused at the couple as they passed.

Barbaros laughed "Yeah right, I just packed my rope and shovel with me," he said rolling his eyes. "How do you plan to get that without leaving the forest and we don't even have an axe to get wood with" he said.

Itaka smiled moving behind Seph and running his hands down her body and hips as she admired herself "Sure they do but I'm not particularly interested in armour and like you I prefer to feel more free you know but it's not socially acceptable to walk around naked for humans." he shrugged

Mari giggled pocketing some lemons "Why do we need to leave some on the ground? Won't they just rot?" she asked turning and punching a tree hard before catching the pineapple that fell "Hmm you certainly get an odd assortment of fruits here...still I suppose we're not far from the tropical place" she said using her sword to slice up the pineapple for them before feeding some chunks to Sophia who was watching the lemons warily.

Zadina gasped seeing the shoopufs look at them and took a tentative step towards them making sure not to make any sounds as they left the forest "Hi Miss Shoopuf...we're just coming to say hello" he said quietly following Amane closely.

Felina smiled standing next to Oassu testing his jutsu out using a small stick "Thats a pretty good jutsu actually when you consider you learned it all by yourself. I bet Satoshi can't do anything like that" she praised him ge sturing to Jenna to come and join the two of them.

Hayate rolled his eye mapping out the best places in the area to set up a trap "Honestly you two are too urban minded, haven't you ever heared of imrpovisation and magic" he complained pulling down a vine from a tree "This is easily strong enough to act as rope and trees aren't too difficult to take down with the help of magic, same with making a hole in the ground"

Satoshi paused taking another look at the spider webs "I can't be too specific with you considering I have no knowledge of what species live in these parts but... I would say it's a fiend between the size of a coeurl and a lamia only with legs"

Seph growled pulling out her sword as she cautiously approached the bush "Sometimes we just can't seem to get any privacy" she complained hacking through parts of the bush "Well it wasn't a fiend and somebody was clearly sticking their nose in where it wasn't wanted" she whispered pointing to a pair of shoeprints in the ground.

Hebal giggled peeling another banana and held it up to Ivy "Here you go try one of these creamy fruits, they have an unusual flavour but still taste nice" she told the sprite dropping what she didnt want of hers on the ground and picked up a lemon instead "We should hide in the trees so they don't get put off when they see us" she added to Mari preparing herself for a jump.

Alpha scratched his head taking an extra moment to find the cobweb "Ahh that might be problematic if the web maker comes back I mean check out all the imps trapped on that thing, lets try heading south from here and see if anything better comes up" he muttered pulling down a tree vine and dragging it with him in the other direction.

Melanae looked around nervously making sure she kept the rest of her body completely still "I don't know if this is safe or not, I know the younger one seems to not mind us as much but we need to focus more on the mums reaction, if she doesn't want us there then we go"

Amane almost squealed realising the young shoopuf was strolling on towards her only stopping when he was right next to her. The creature glanced up at her sniffing her curiously before moving to the side, sticking his trunk into her pocket then grabbed Amane's bag of sweets and ran away from the group.

Oassu nodded "Lets go then but lets stay out of sight of the river, in case any animals are drinking from the river we may get lucky" he said indicating to Jenna to take the other side of the river. "If you get in trouble with fiends or anything just call out and I'll come and help" he told her patting her placing an orange aura on her.

Jenna raised her arm examining the aura "Alright there was nothing really interesting over there I was just flanking the river in case there was something fast that might try to escape" she shrugged before turning Boco and padding through the river again.

Gil smiled holding up 6 snowballs "You don't want to play that game with me," he said throwing them at Satoshi "Anyway if it's been snowing and these prints are recent shouldn't it make them easier to find?" he said looking at the snowprints.

Itaka frowned "In that case lets get after them, can't be far and I'll be damned if I let some pervert spy on me and you" he said drawing his sword and following the footprints.

Mari nodded putting the rest of the pineapple and some lemons in her bag before throwing her arms around the tree and beginning to climb up it "It's so hard to climb in these heels" she groaned sliding back down the tree. She glanced up at Hebal noting Ivy nibbling on the fruit "Don't suppose you can help me up?" she asked.

Zadina giggled quietly "Aww he must be hungry but he'll need to be careful he doesn't get cavities....you think they'll still let us pet them?" he asked.

Barbaros nodded "Fine by me" he said wheeling his bike around and heading south "So how are we going to set up some traps?" he asked Hayate.
