Welcome to Gaia! ::

Harrison seemed to be doing okay with picking shards up. "I guess you're right," Jordan conceded as Rep got up to find a shard himself. "We should get - "

His sentence was cut off by a sound, and the sight of Rep dissolving in exactly the same way he had made his heart clench. He'd reformed shortly afterwards - surely the same would hold true for Rep. But he wasn't going to relax or go anywhere until he saw it for himself.

Attempt 3

That . . . was not a good look he was getting from this TG character. Or a good growl. Or a good anything really. Mort's feathers pressed themselves down as he took a small step back, unwittingly bumping into a third shard that gleefully shocked him, jolting him with a yelp.

Add to project list: method to reduce outside conduction and attraction. This was getting ridiculous.

"Y-Y-You c-can have 'em," the Spoilers meekly said with a glance at the foxfire's already acquired lot, random patches of his body twitching from the trio of shocks he'd received in such a short time. "Th-They d-d-d-don't like m-me."

When she finally passed the door, moving to the 28th room, something happened. The world dropped out again, color and lights seemed to flicker by and she soon found it was simply better to close her eyes. The falling seemed to last forever, yet no time at all as she hit the ground with a thump.

For a while she simply lay there her body shivering slightly before a single green eye cracked open to look down.

At nothing.

This got her up and on her paws quickly, fur on end tail held high as she glanced around. Other minis moved about, seeming to walk on the space of nothing, crystals flickered about, Mini's where moving. It was just. It was too much, she looked up expecting more nothing only to face an upside down city of towers causing her stomach to flip ever so slightly. She did the only logical thing from there.

She looked the ******** down where at least she wasn't afraid of falling into pointed buildings. Worse yet she only recognized two of the minis in the whole room, Rep, and one who seemed to be friends with him, now joined by a third. Hesitantly she moved towards them eyes somewhat down cast before falling on her side just out of paws reach of them, the FEAR on her left paw seeming dimmer then usual.

"I... hate... this place..." she muttered.

Jerry was an exhausted, battered, and unhappy bird as he dropped into the strange new place, laying limply on his back. He had all but given up hope of finding anyone he knew, let alone survival.

Blearily he tried to push his tiny glasses up his beak with a little bird foot, attempting to make sense of his new surroundings...

What in the world...? Well, clearly not the WORLD they were beyond the WORLD as he knew it, and for all he knew he had finally dropped off into the deep and had completely lost his mind.

An odd shape caught his attention... another one of those miniature creatures? But... just... hanging there... something glinted amongst it, and his feathers ruffled. Blearily he rolled onto his feet until the apparition was rightside-up, narrowing his eyes as he carefully stepped closer... Timidly, he reached forward to nab the sparkling item with his beak. He gave it a tug... stuck? With a frustrated noise, he tried tugging again. And again. Suddenly, a misshapen limb lunged around to nab entire face with a paw-like hand.

Flapping frantically, the bird shrieked and chirped, struggling frantically. RIGHT RIGHT He had talons! Tiny talons but... he couldn't see where he was aiming, scratching frantically until suddenly his head and the shard popped free, the bird sent tumbling backward.



21- 40: A fragment seems to be half-merging with one of the oddly malformed minipets just floating in space. You make a grab for it, but not before the minipet's eyes snap to life and grabs you, attempting you drag you away. It gnashes unusual teeth at you, chatters in a strange and high shriek, and only with the greatest amount of effort do you finally extract the fragment from the minipet. You obtain ONE fragment.

It seemed he wasn't the only one being troubled by these nasty shocking particles. "C-C-Careful," Mort told the wyvling in a shaky voice, evidence of his own luck with the fragments. "L-Like t-t-to shock." The increased twitching made his glasses continually try to slide off, which in turn continually forced him to unconsciously lift a wing to push them back up, the new limbs more comfortable to use than the claws - he'd hate to scratch them after surviving, oh, the poisonous spider, murderous plants, floor less dungeons, and the occasional fly-by from a corrividus to his face.

He still smarted from that.

Jerry floated as though coasting on ice before bumping into something solid. Blinking, he looked up- a... television set? This place was weirder and weirder. Fluttering his wings he managed to float upright to try to land on top of it and at least pretend the laws of physics still applied, but something was glittering above even that. He cocked his head, giving a curious chirp. Another one of those shards? Did they have anything to do with that broken mirror? Maybe... he already found one, tucked into his feathers with the odd glass key, but another couldn't hurt, right?

He fluttered again, lifting his beak t try to snatch this one up as well but no sooner had he flapped towards it, the thing suddenly burst into light...

And electricity.

The television screen flicked on for a moment of static as the energy erupted around him, and sizzling like a tiny roast chicken, Jerry landed with an oomf on top of it before the shard vanished and the television went off again.

Jerry groaned and wondered dimly where his friends were.



1-20: A fragment hovers above a television set but as you half-hover, half-walk close to it, it sparkles and comes to life, electrocuting you. The fragment itself fades and disappears.

"Ugh. More of these...falls for today and someday I will be capable of flight." Said Airn sarcastically, shaking some bones and remains of dead...something from his fins. He's not a clean freak anyway, but there are standards for letting rotting things sticking to your scales.

He looked around and finds more creatures like him...all of them seemed to be busy chasing something that looked like glittering shards of ice...no, crystals. Why do they chase those things? Murmured him inwards, when one of said object hovered next to him. Curious, he tried to nab one using his jaws-but it moved as it were alive and evaded him. This chain of event proceeds until the fragment hovered ontop of something...cube-ish and dissipated while letting a huge explosion of sparks...which left Airn feel his whiskers tingle for quite a while.

But that just made him even curious...and slightly angrier. Eyeing the glinting object in the distance, he has set his course for the second try.
