Welcome to Gaia! ::

Madame Gift wandered through the forest looking for some rather rare alchemical ingredients. The sinking sun was hidden behind the leaves of the tall trees. The drapion had already gathered a good amount of ingredients. But she was starting to run low on several of the rarer ones and a few of the more common types that tended to sell out rather quickly. Spotting a few mandrakes she walked over and gathered them.

This part of the forest had a lot of poisonous plants and was one of her favorite places to gather plants. She hummed quietly as she started to pick some Aconitum. The plant had quite a few different names, Wolfsbane, Monkshood and devil's helmet where only a few of the names for it. She tended to use a lot of it in her poisons and people incurred about the plant a lot, its nickname “the queen of poisons” seemed to have made the plant popular. Unlike most she didn’t need to ware any sort of glove when harvesting the plant, she was used to poisons and her hard exoskeleton didn’t absorb things the way most creatures skins did.

The scorpion like pokemon always made sure to have plenty of antidotes and antivenom around for the things she sells. You never know when someone is going to accidentally drink the poisons they bought or if they where stupid enough to handle poisonous plants with their bare hands. Hearing some leaves crackling of to her right she flicked her tail at the creature that had made the noise. The small frog flew a bit and landed in front of her. She studied it for a moment judging weather or not it would be useful to her.

Madame Gift frowned as shadowy snakes wrapped around the frog she caught and where quickly making off with it. Flicking her tail at the she sent several needles she created with her Pin missile attack at the snake one after another. She was careful to avoid hinting the frog and quickly went after them hoping to get a Fire Fang in if they weren't destroyed by her first attack. Nobody stole from her.

Madame Gift's Tail flicked back and forth behind her in irritation. "I didn't attack you, I attacked those snakes." The scorpion like pokemon tensed ready to fight if she needed to, the poisons her body made were strong, they where they only ones she didn't sell. "And If you saw it first how come, it was in my claws and you weren't around?" She study the other female for a moment. "Sadly I cannot just hand over this frog, It's not very good for business to just give ingredient away for free. But I'd be more than willing to sell or trade it to you."

Gift's tail extended as it shot towards the frog as the snakes let go of it. The frog let out a croak as it was grabbed and the tail retreated to it's usual length and position. "Ahh, Forgive me then I did not know that I have not seen anything like them before." Gift nodded to Medusa. "If you ever find yourself in need of magical or poisonous ingredients, I run an alchemy shop in a different part of this forest, it's closer to edge of the woods."

Madame Gift watched as the other female walked off. A loyal customer? She could use a few more of those. Seeing the other vanish into the trees she turned and walked back the way she had came, she grabbed a few more alchemy ingredients before she started heading back to her shop. She didn't like to have it closed for too long, one never knows when some one might stumble along looking for something.

From the outside the shop looked like a simple log cabin someone had built in the woods. Upon stepping inside or peering though the windows one finds not the cozy living space one would expect to find in a cabin but instead shelves and shelves full of alchemical agents, odd creatures, potions and poisons. The harder to get ones where behind the counter and some of the rarest ones where hidden away in a back room little plaques hung on the wall telling how many of them she had in stock.

Madame Gift nodded behind the counter as she handed a jar of frogs over to the male who thanked her as he placed gold on the counter and slid out of the shop past Medusa. Hearing someone speak the scorpion moved closer to the entrance. "Hello." She responded. She studied the other for a moment "You're Lady Medusa, yes?" Gift moved so that the other female could look around and explore the shop without runing into the owner. "If there is anything you need me to get, just let me know, some of the rarer items aren't on display. You can find a list of them over there." She pointed to the plaques with her tail. According to them there where 2 beetles eyes 4 flame salamanders, and a vile of basilisks venom among other things
