Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Entering]

When Jove emerged from the slide, his hair seemed a little more bedraggled than normal, and he was clutching the pale, fraying scarf around his neck with one hand as though he were afraid he would lose it. But aside from a slight stagger as he stood up, he handled it quite gracefully for his first time down a slide.

He spotted Victoria easily and walked over, head tilting slightly in question. It looked like she had made it down the slide unruffled, but... What was this place?

Jove also eyed the edibles suspiciously. He didn't particularly feel like eating or drinking anything, but looking around, it did seem to be the only thing to do. He could smell that there had been many other students to come through here, but it was hard to tell where they had gone from there. He wandered to the edge of the pool and back to the table. No, they had definitely not crossed the water.

He picked up one little bottle, and one little cupcake, and after some hesitation he offered both to his company. If they were both horrible places, he would leave it up to her to chose the lesser of two evils as she saw fit.

Jove's mouth fell open as Victoria began to grow, and he stared in amazement, ears falling backwards as he looked upwards. And then his eyes widened, and he determinedly focused his gaze back on the ground. His blush was renewed with a brighter glow than ever that night.

It was his first accidental peek at what was up a lady's skirts, after all.

With his eyes on the ground and not a smidgeon higher, the pup patted around on the table until his hand fell on a biscuit, and he brought it to his mouth in a hurry. Never in his life would he EVER speak of that moment. Never.

Shaheen came off of the slide, tumbling head over feet until she splashed into a body of water and came up gasping, shivering and with her blonde hair plastered to her face. She quickly slogged her way out of the water, glaring at anybody who dared to make a comment, the feathers of her wings sodden and useless for flying until they dried off.

Her good mood was very abruptly gone.

After a lengthy period of time spent staring at the water and searching for some sort of exit, Shaheen finally wandered over to a table that was decorated with an assortment of treats and bottled drinks.

Sighing to herself, she grabbed for a bottle.

Of course, she then shrunk, her eyes widening and the bottle tumbling out of her grasp to the ground.

She stared around in disbelief. She was...she was small! Suddenly scowling again, she made her way towards the only discernible exit, another hole. God damn holes.

((exit!))

Once again Heidla found herself in the familiar setting. No rabbits, but bottles and cakes. Her hand stretched out to get a drink without hesitation. Now she wasn't even afraid of becoming smaller; well, wasn't she small both in character and appearance anyway (not that she would accept it though). As for the cakes.... she will have plenty of them at the table race, won't she?

To thrush off unnecessary accusations of being addicted to drinking, Heidla repeated a couple of times to herself: I am just being conservative. And I want to beat the gnomes. And the rabbits. And to taste the drink. And to run across the giant table hiding under teacups. Rubbish. Who cares anyway?

With those thoughts she make a big gulp. Nice taste. Familiar sensation of getting smaller and smaller and... argh, here's the mouse hole!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOF!"
She had went down the slide feet first, but the impact of her feet hitting the ground almost made her fall, and she waved her arms wildly to try and steady herself... only to end up falling on her face.

She pushed herself up, feeling disoriented.
Where...

Seeing the glimmering pool, she blinked.
This... were they supposed to go OVER the pool?
Was it ever... just that easy?

Something told her it wasn't and she frowned, looking around to see if there was some PLACE she was supposed to go.
It was only then she noticed the little table and OOH, WERE THOSE TREATS?

Skipping over to the table, she looked at all the delectable like cakes, and cookies, and the cute little bottles and glasses. How cute!
Feeling a little peckish, she picked a plate with a tiny heart-shaped piece of cake, and popped it into her mouth. Mmm!

Her lips tingled, and she touched it, only to feel that... it was swollen?
Strange... she didn't think she had any allergic reactions...
And... wait... why did her hand feel so small on her face...?

Everything around her seemed to tremble and shake as she watched herself expand, everything growing smaller.
She winced as her head crashed through a non-existent ceiling, realizing that this was supposedly her way out.

Giving a weary sigh, she decided to climb out and find her way out of this place... and possibly a way to make her back into normal.

[ Exit ]

This time the alchemist literally fell in the pool: perhaps, she was rushing too hard. That was quite a painful experience, but she managed to escape it finally, and approached the already familiar table.

No time for experiments. Just drink. AND BEWARE, THE GNOMES!

"Where the Jack am I...?" Carmine mumbled, mostly to himself. Nobody else was around, so it would be rather strange to talk to himself loudly if they were here. He glanced around the place and didn't see a single soul.

After starting to move forward, Carmine saw a number of objects demanding that he ingest them. Not one to question that kind of thing, Carmine grabbed one of the ones that said "Eat Me" and took a big bite.

Before long, and after a slightly annoying headache, Carmine realized he was the size of a cottage. Being a fairly tiny demon to begin with, he was still fairly tiny in proportion to other giant people. So without further ado, Carmine climbed out and into the next baffling place.
