Welcome to Gaia! ::

As much as she wanted to stop the sobbing tree from making her head hurt worse than it already felt, she instead gave up, offering a small shrug and a shake of her head. "Sorry, I have no idea where they are, and quite frankly, this is a just a dream, so I don't know if I really care. Maybe someone else will have more success in finding them for you." With that said, she hightailed it out of there, hurrying back to the way finder before she had to endure more sobbing.

Indigo was not sure how she got here or even where... here was. She frowned irritably as somehow from point A to point B the promise of treasure had disappeared on her. Replaced instead by the ridiculous (in her opinion). That's the last time she was consuming oysters and wine before bed ever again. Even weirder still, she apparently had additional appendages she didn't seem to recall before. At least mother nature in this dream seems to have a good sense of style.

Indigo leaned in to inspect the signpost in front of her. What was - how was it doing that?! She reached out and swung her hand in the air just below the exclamation mark. Must be mirrors. She shrugged and her interest waned before snapping back to the fore as a voice could be heard. She was too mesmerized by where the sound could have been coming from to really catch everything that was being said. Blahblah...welcome...yaddayadda... explore... somethingsomething... trees. Welcome, explore, trees. That was right - right? Oh well. She was already walking that way anyway...

After wandering for quite some time, Indigo found a long slend-- wait. She could swear she knew this tree and without thinking about it for too long the tree confirmed her suspicions for her. The same rhyme and riddle emerged only this time she listened, truly listened, and answered. "But you said you only had two friends! You named three, either one of them is you or... can I name you Silly?" and her answer though thoughtful was a loss and she knew it would be as it seemed to make no sense in the first place.

[4/5]
The next tree Indigo happened upon was the most silent thus far. She inspected its lovely collection of signs admiringly. She considered taking at least one - perhaps the 'and'. It wouldn't miss it right? Aw but then she risks failing her quest. Can't have that now. She decided instead to follow the 'Way' sign onward.

((Entering))
Falling down a hole, drinking some potion and then meeting a girl named Alice (in which she gathered was some sort of computer game) and now waking up in a forest that was full of random colors. Lass had decided that the school was rather stranger than she had imagine. From what she could remember, or at least before losing it all, she was pretty sure she had never played any sort of video game. They were frankly a waste of time not to mention a box with blinking lights was not really her cup of tea. Books, those were much more tangible, and she had little interest in something that halloweeners considered the greatest gift of technology.

Getting to her feet she dusted off her clothes and looked around. Bright and garish trees were everywhere and some were looking at her. She grinned, a computer game, so why not have a little fun. It wasn’t as if it would all really matter would it? Lass could accidently kick someone, or even control her own little group of minions and have little worry about others being so called offended.

Yes a mad hatter.

Stepping forward she pulled the hat off her head and looked at it as the tea cup leaned to the side, it was interesting and frilly with a card stuck in a ribbon. Instead of her usual gown with pants she had a coat and boats with more frills and buttons with odd little pockets. It lacked long sleeves like her usual wear but she didn’t hate it.

She was amused.

Grinning again she twirled her hat back onto her head and started to give a cheery whistle peeking at the sign for direction before heading off into the woods to find a few trees to have a chat with.

A few minutes later Lass found a tree sobbing, a tree sobbing was rather unusual considering trees shouldn’t have feelings or talk in the first place.
Reluctantly she stopped and put worked a fake smile onto her face and took of her hat to give it a small bow.

“Tis what’s botherin you tree? Maybe a lass can help you out?” Tipping the hat back on her head she tapped her foot rather impatiently as she tried to keep the smile on her face.

"I'm so very sad", says the broken tree. "So, so very sad indeed. I left my glasses around here and now I can't find them. Can you help me out?"

Lass shagged her shoulders before swinging the dead weight of arms forward and started to look around for some eyeglasses.

4/5 Trees

Another tree with stripes!! Harlow was extremely amused, these striped trees almost seemed to think that they were extremely unique in this style! Harlow just smiled and kept quiet as she looked at the tree. "Well Mr. Tree! I believe you!" She laughed a little and as it gave her an another fragment. she grinned once again. "thank you!" she chirped before turning and heading toward the final tree that she was going to encounter.

Skipping and giving a rather annoying whistle of amusement Lass found a tree with several signs on it that peaked her interest. There were pointed in various directions about nowhere and everywhere and “and” had its own little direction as well.

“MMmmm well then I guess I will go with everywhere. DEAD AHEAD!” She replied pointing in the direction and heading off. She had to admit though she was a little disappointed that she had yet to find anyone to collect into a horde for herself.
