Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruth had heard about this new game through her excitable friend Kiran, who had apparently made every attempt to play but found it difficult with her computer breaking down so frequently lately.


Lore stretched her arms tall above her head and yawned. A band was what she needed. A traveling band of musical heroes and heroines, creating a legacy. With their front-runner being the charismatic, colorful dancer extraordinaire, Lore! She tried scouring the street for bards but had little luck, weaving her way between the other characters for some while in futility. When it became clear that this might not work, she decided to do a little 'creative advertising' by performing a few dances in the town center, which had only resulted in a one sketchy-looking guy tossing her some money.


She'd let herself into a tavern to see if she could drum up any interest in her cause with the help of live music, but had become sidetracked by what her newly found wealth gave her access to. Within twenty-five minutes Lore had gotten severely tipsy and started belly dancing on a patron's table. The people whose meal she'd interrupted looked none too pleased.

'Listen noob, nobody cares that you're a dancer. There's tons of dancers. So... GET. OFF. THE. TABLE!' One particularly irate player shouted.

'Hey, I'm a professional! I need to earn a living somehow!' She slurred.

'You are reported.' A fencer scowled at her.

She stopped dancing and pouted.

'Reported? But I was just having fun!' Lore protested.

'Tell it to Kitsune.' The woman crossed her arms.

'Well. Fine. I will tell that to Kit-soon!' The little dancer clambered off of the table, pausing to steady herself on a nearby thief.



'Hey...' Lore squinted. '...My mon...eeyyyyyyyy...'

He was gone before she could even fully register her error.

Lore whirled around and wobbled unsteadily toward Kitsune. She came to a stop when she felt momentarily as though she might vomit, hunching over and groaning. Then she righted herself, brushed her bangs out of her eyes and addressed the Server.

'Yeah! I need a band!' She exclaimed brashly, 'And no one's--listenin'!'

Lore wrinkled her nose with disdain.

'Where's the fun in that?' She asked, 'Meeting people is supposed to be an adventure, isn't it?'

'...Great!' Lore said, blissfully unaware of the trouble she'd gotten herself in for. 'I'll go look for them right this very now!'

She strode out the door with the wobbly confidence of a slowly sobering girl in a very new world.
