Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raleka nodded, saying, "Food games sound fun!" It seemed that, at this event, all they had was candy. Raleka couldn't help but feel a little hyped up on sugar, even though she had only eaten a small amount. Plus, even a little bit of fruit could do her some good. Her stomach seemed to clench a little at the thought of eating, and she was expecting it to give an agreeing grumble.

As they walked down the row of booths, the aroma of the food grew stronger. Raleka was surprised she hadn't smelled it clearly when she had first come into the festival. There were all kinds of delicacies, but her mouth watered at the bit when she heard the faint sizzle of frying foods. "Which would you like to do?" she asked Morginn, excitement sparkling in her lavender eyes.

Claiming 12 points for today. This makes a total of 38 points this week.

Quartz nodded, eyes huge with curiosity, excitement, and a little intimidation. This was their very first festival. It was supposed to be ending soon and who knew when the next one would happen, so when Topaz had seemed a little reluctant Quartz brought out her most persuasive pout. She was a little sad her siblings couldn't be with her, but Topaz had said that Keira would bring them if they wanted to go, and having two little wiggly children to look after was too many!

The game looked simple. You tried to catch little skyfish on a pole. Quartz wondered if they were real skyfish at first, but they didn't move with the same grace she'd imagined they would have. She and her mother both played at the same time, and each caught a fish. Quartz was super excited to see if she'd won, and wondered what prize she might pick. The nice lady at the stall gave her a smile after checking the fish Quartz caught, and let her pick from a bunch of bracelets. Quartz picked a pretty blue one. Topaz picked out a similar bracelet. "For your sibling, just in case they didn't get to come out today." Quartz nodded, wishing she'd thought of it.

Samara eyeballed all the things going on. It was one heck of a time to transfer to the Academy, but she was glad she had. Not that her home town didn't celebrate in grand fashion, but there was a lot of novelty to being somewhere new. She kind of hoped she might spot her sister, but there were so many people and it was hard to get a look at any freshling or junior before they vanished into the crowd.

Looking around did have one benefit. She spotted a cute little jackalope hiding under a table, looking a bit spooked. She lured the cute familiar out with a treat she had in her pocket, and carefully tucked it in the crook of her arm. It would be nice to have a pet!

Freddy was wondering if he should try to hunt down some friends, or try making new ones. Not that he wasn't enjoying himself, but a festival about relationships, romantic or otherwise, just wasn't really the same when you wandered it alone. He had met some pretty awesome people already, but there were lots of people running around and he couldn't be expected to hog them all. He kept an eye out for anyone else wandering around on their own, and that was how he noticed a blue and brown little blip keeping to the side. It wasn't easy to spot them, but he managed! Being pretty sneaky himself, he ghosted over and introduced himself with a cheery "Hello" once he got in range.

Alyssum was a wee bit ashamed to admit that she jumped. She was less ashamed of the jump and more ashamed that someone got the drop on her. Still, these Geist people were quite sneaky. It was something she'd managed to observe so far, seeing how those odd tendrils that stuck to them flared around a lot and constantly seemed to blur in and out of focus.

This particular Geist didn't look like he should be able to sneak as well as he did. He was short and round, pretty solid looking at the moment, and had that grinning cheerful look of someone with a lot of mischief and energy in them. A little cautiously, Alyssum nodded a greeting.

As Dodger held the little bat as gently, but firm as he could, it began to wriggle in his hold. He spoke softly to it to try and be comforting. "Hey hey lil guy... don't move around so much. You could hurt yourself even more. Don't worry. I'mma take good care of you, okay?" He didn't have a ton of money to his name, but he decided he would take the poor little critter to the vet.

After dropping the little Nuzbat off at the vet office, Dodger came back to the party to try and just relax. As he was walking past a little trinket table, he noticed a cute little purple locket. He wasn't sure why he wanted to, but he picked it up and tucked it away, deciding that he should hold onto it for some reason.

"Well that went super..." Pawsa said to herself in both an annoyed, yet slightly amused tone. "I guess I know skee ball is not for me, then!" and a laugh rang out from her as she turned about, ready to tackle something else. But!, it really didn't take long for something unplanned to catch her attention. Books. Not just any kind of books, though. Oh no. They looked like those trashy romance novels that you'd pick up in line at the store, hoping nobody noticed that you just grabbed one. With an amused smirk as she picked one up, skimming through the first few pages. Yup... she needed this trashiness in her life, and so Pawsa slipped the book into her pack.
