Welcome to Gaia! ::

Su smiled and seemed to catch onto Merci's urgency. She also caught how she referred to Fauve as her daughter. She again looked down at the mask affectionately, cradling it within her arms.

"I'll be alright! I'll just set out my things and make this place my own. Not all my own but...bah, nevermind," she said, grinning. "You go ahead. Thanks for everything!"

Sukku turned a bit and placed her backpack on the floor and sat down ungracefully. She pulled open the top of her bag and in and instant, an array of books spilled from the inside and onto the floor.

"Whoops, gotta organize that!" she said to herself. Tilting her head back, she offered a warm smile to Merci, "I hope everything goes alright on your part."

The slight pressure on her shoulder woke G_E, who slowly sat up and stretched, a bit stiff from sleeping on the ground.

Her vision blurred, she blinked up at the young woman who'd woken her up. Wait... Was that Shiva? Wow... everybody seemed to be growing so quickly.

"Hello?"

She smiled drowsily and slowly looked around, her gaze falling on Nika and Bizzy. G_E blinked again. Bizzy had grown... again. Slowly she stood up and rubbed at her eyes. Atleast Nika was the same size he'd been before she'd fallen asleep.

Bizzy watched Gee closley. Her mother seemed to be swaying on her feet... quickly so that Gee wouldn't fall Bizzy wrapped her mother's arm around her neck and kept her standing.

"Mom... Shiva, Nika and I are going to put you in bed."

G_E blinked at Bizzy and then laughed. "Elizabeth... I can manage on my own."

With that said, the small woman gently stepped away from Bizzy and wandered towards her house. G_E wasn't feeling too great. Feeling numb all over and a little dizzy there was nothing she wanted more, then to go back to sleep. She called behind her.

"Bizzy... you make sure Nika gets some sleep."

On her way through the door, she stubbed her toe.

Nika watched his chosen wander into their house, his eyes worried. Was she sick?

"A duck." She yelled from the close room playfully. "Ok there is no duck. The rooms up here are set up the same as the other houses. They don't have beds in them yet though." Kata peeked out and down the stairs at Aricin. The clocks started to chim twelve... "That's odd. I didn't think it was so late did you?"

Zahar shivered as the first chime of twelve went off and she held her tea cup closer.

Shi sighed, watched long enough to make sure that Gee, Nika and Elizabeth made it into their house, and then headed for her own.
Walking up the steps, she looked around for Chae in either the garden or the kitchen.

*Chae?* She asked with a quiet inquisitiveness. She waited a few moments and then made her way to the library.

Chae looked up when the door opened long enough to gauge that Shiva was allright. Then she looked back down at the book in her hands. "Need anything?"

*I was going to ask you the same thing.* she replied. She almost offered tea, that being their signal to come to the table and talk, but was afraid to hear Chae not agree. That would really mean that things had changed. She almost said that she hadn't become suddenly different...but that was laughable, for she had. But part of her still wanted her guardian with her. But not if Chae would resent it.

"I'm fine, Shi." Chaeval answered. "Just looking up some gardening things. "I think I heard that Fauve was making some food, if you're hungry. Otherwise, maybe you should sleep a bit. "

*...allright. I'll need to find something to wear.* her voice was tentative.

"You can raid my closet for anything you think you need." she answered, not looking up.

*...allright.* She repeated. *Thank you. Would now be okay?*

"Whenever you need to." she said.

*Do you know what happened to the armor I had?* She asked.

"I stored it away." She said. "I don't think it would fit anymore." There was a slight, sad quirk to her lips as she said that.

*I ... guess it wouldn't.* She agreed softly.*I think I'll go lay down a bit.*

"Sweet dreams."

*You too.* She answered.

When she closed the door, Chae looked down at her hands, clutching the small bit of armor and smiled wanly. She hadn't known what to say at all. She was never great with words. All she knew about teens were her own years and what others said. Teens needed their space. They needed to not feel "mothered". They needed independence.

It wasn't as if she was even Shi's real parent. The thought was painful, but she wanted it not to be. If the girl had no need of her any longer, than Chae could not cling to that brief time together.

The unicorn Hatchi watched the village, his head bowed. His stomach rumbled and Oscar snivelled. He'd grown into a child quite a while ago... and hadn't eaten since.

He'd watched the others in the village, from inside an empty building. The empty building he'd only left at night to get food. As far as he could remember Oscar had hatched from his egg and grown from a baby into a child in that building and he was completely content.

Well... he had been completely content. The small amount of vegetation that grew behind the building he lived in wasn't doing much for his appetite anymore.

He needed something more then grass and leaves. The Hatchi needed vegetables.

The sun was only begining to come up... maybe he still had time to sneak into one of the occupied buildings and find some food.

His stomach growled again, more persistent this time. Oscar sucked in a breath. There was nothing else to do... he'd have to suck it up. What was he scared of anyways? As far as he had seen, those that lived in the village were decent enough.

Finally, he stepped out of the building. Moving quickly, he crossed the small path of a street and gently pushed the front door of the closest home open, hoping that whoever lived in it was asleep.

He passed the couch; where a tall, blonde young man slept. The young man wore a mask. Representing the sun and the moon.

Oscar tip-toed passed him and entered the kitchen, where he immediately spotted the fridge. Licking his lips, the Hatchi quickly opened the fridge door and grabbed the first thing he could find.

Lime Jello.

(haha sorry for this it'll be stupid Gaia ate my post)

"No pumkins here kind sir. As you can see it is still mid day and not the top of the eve'." She steped out and laughed a bit. "I just think the clocks are wrong in here is all. This place will be perfect though, there are some pillows or linens in one or two of the four rooms up here."

Zahar sighed lightly looking outside, she felt reastless. 'I am going outside to sit by the fire pit if anyone needs me.' She topped off her cup of tea and headed outside shutting the door behind her. Zahar sat on the rock Kataio often sat on.

Zahar looked around. 'Galilee...? Oh, all right. Kataio I am going to meet Galilee by a fishing pond just a little into the woods.' She scooted off the rock careful not to spill her tea. 'Galilee I am coming now. Could you meet me at the edge of the forest just incase?' Zahar walked to Gali's house then started to head for the trees.

Ok hun be careful though and don't go far in the forest. Make sure you two stick together! Kataio laughed a bit and shook her head, probably making her look a bit strange.
