Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dido blinked her eyes open as the sounds of the other Pokemon waking and moving around filtered back to her makeshift nest. She emerged from the women's locker room to look around the hallway. There seemed to be many less Pokemon around than there had been last night – and there was the reason: the door to the stairwell had finally been opened.

The Skitty climbed the stairs one at a time, each taking more than a little effort, small as she was. At long last, she reached the top, and found herself in... another hallway, much like the last one. There were only two open doors in this one, close to the stairs, and both smelled simply awful. Human litterboxes, she thought. Digusting. She could hear the sound of running water from inside the doors, but she could keep herself quite clean with tongue baths, thank you very much, and, even if she had felt the need for a full bath human-style, she would never have lowered herself to enter those dens of filth.

Buddy eventually discarded the empty package on the floor. Now he was satiated and the previous Ekans have been taken care of, he could freely move around. He ran on all four to the next level.
The Sandshrew sat down and rolled into a b… no, wait, he didn’t curl up. He didn’t see Dakota around, but she must still be here. Buddy didn’t want to risk being chased by a hyperactive puppy. So instead, he simply went in a random room. Oh, damn, a bathroom, with horrible pink walls. And nothing interesting in sight. "Bleh."

Miu ignored Marlin as he dissapeared into a mirror. She was more interested in the fact that they had found bathrooms. She was quite thirsty, but she wasn't about to drink from the toilets like some undignified animal. Instead she pulled out a few paper towels and placed them over the drain in a sink, the used her muzzle to turn the faucet on. Water poured out of the faucet head and the paper towels instantly clogged the drain, allowing the sink to start pooling the water.

"Pastel, are you thirsty...?"

Tassel sighed, walking into the bathroom. She had pressed a door, unknowingly, and looked at the baby blue tiles. "OHMYGOD. EW." She said, as she spotted the urinals. She ran out as quick as she could, screaming. That was the sickest think she'd seen.

Kite had recently woken up from a small nap and noticed that the Mewtwo had finally opened the second floor. Full with curiosity, she fluttered up the stairs. Instead of many rooms with mysterious boxes and stuff like the first, there were only two large rooms, one blue and one pink. Water was seeping out of the blue one.

Kite decided to explore the first room. To her surprise, she crept in in time to see an Eevee throw himself at a mirror and bounce off. The Ninetails next to him simply clogged up the sink and said something to the Eevee. She couldn't hear.

She didn't plan to make herself known and decided to go visit the other room, but first she examined the mirror the Eevee jumped at. Why did he do that? Another voice said something, but she assumed it was the Eevee.

((Providing Merlin with a victim, though Kite didn't exactly walk in.))

(( Ah, thank you for that, Silver! <3 ))


Merlin's disembodied voice cackled with glee as Kite went to look at his mirror. The reflection wavered a bit, and a ghostly, dark silhouette appeared right behind Kite's refection, its eyes glowing magenta and yellow. "Beware!" Merlin ominously commanded in a deeper, richer voice than normal. "Beware! For those who look into the Mirror shall never leave this place!" More cackling ensued, slowly tapering off as the silhouette disappeared.

Distraction after distraction. One moment, Dakota tried to talk to a Raichu, the next moment, the puppy Pokemon had dashed up the stairs to investigate further. For a brief moment, the black Growlithe remembered to sniff around for her trainer first. However, her trainer's scent was nowhere on that level either.

Out of her sheer excitement, she had once again run off from her Furret friend. The puppy sat down in the hallway with her apple still in her mouth, and basically slicking the outside skin with her drool.
