Welcome to Gaia! ::

For so long, for so many years, Fauna had spent her time in Olyphia, the closest thing to Ancient Rome in Magic Earth. Her majestic home city was all the way in the east, of Albanoch Desert. Now though she had come venturing for the Kingdom of the Spirits. It was a strange land, to her old knowledge it respected elders, past lives and spirits of anything that was once living. She could almost understand it, but Fauna wasn't completely convinced of Zakernand's beliefs.

She was here in search for a new blade for her weapon, it needed a new attachment, the current one was becoming dull. Searching through the crowded walkways Fauna could smell the tasteful oriental foods, the bars nearby, the fried goods. It all smelled so surreal, better yet here came the stands selling goods as souvenirs or daily Asian essentials. She had to admit, it was fresh here, the stylized buildings and spiritual feel of the location felt natural and calming.

Fauna wasn't the sort to care for how people looked at her, or judged her. She knew how she looked, she knew how she felt, other's opinions wasn't going to help her sort anything out in the long run. Weaving between natives the odd stare would catch her gaze, she'd ignore it, looking on. Perhaps she wasn't wearing enough, used to the warm climates of Albanoch she never wore too much or else she'd sweat, exhaust herself from nothing. Even though Zakernand wasn't much cooler until you traversed further north where the climate suddenly and rapidly declines to a cold, frosting temperature. Suddenly there was a group of people bustling out of one building, almost in a parade of sorts, followed by a large purple and blue dragon costume stretched across several people. Quickly having to weave out of the way she moved to the side and was blocked by another person, where she had to step back and and found herself almost stepping on someone behind her, turning around her little amount of clothing glided around her physique as she found herself looking at the gaze of a woman with teal coloured hair.

"apologies" she said, brushing her knee length hair behind her back, she then went on to sigh and say "this place seemed to be an organised mess". she meant how everything was quite orderly, not too havoc-like but seemed... unorganised at the same time.

((Fauna does not use this weapon, but folded up blade of Roman appearance.))

Fauna could only be happy the person she had bumped into wasn't going to attempt condemning her for her sins because of the mistake. Out of the sudden sounds of celebration she concentrated one what the girl ahd to say in reply. First, she saw her look her up and down, was she jealous of her breasts? Nah, even Fauna could quickly tell she was evenly matched. "I'm a visitor indeed" she claimed, pulling up her hand that held an object no larger or longer than her forearm. "Coming to replace my blade" she then admitted, the object seemed like something folded in half to conceal whatever was on the inside, then the metallic layers unfolded or shifted, some smoothly became longer whilst it neatly fashioned itself into a sturdy and simple glaive. "This is the only place i can find replacements these days... why're you visiting?". Her blade was unique, not only was it concealable, it was a Glaive and a rifle. Whilst in Glaive form it was slightly smaller than a typical glaive to fashion as a spear as well as a sword at the same time, meanwhile with the flick of her wrist the weapon will shift again and reveal a barrel and handle as it becomes a rifle.

Turns out the girl was travelling, wanted to go sight seeing and always wanted to see Zakernand, the Kingdom of Spirits. Fauna was relatively happy to see her taking an interest in her weapon, then she went on to explain how she had just arrived by boat. Fauna almost smiled at the thought, here was someone she seemed to get along with at the moment, and... she hadn't really spoken to anyone in a while so what's wrong with a bit of conversation for the day eh? Not like they'l get stuck together or anything. "understandable" Fauna admitted, the weapon collapsing again as she replaced it in its sheaf. The party around them continued, though the dragon did soon enough waddle away with its many humanoid legs, some with flip-flops.... it made Fauna cringe at the thought. You should always wear heels, her own, metallic and booty, but only reached half way up her shin. And naturally, they had a bit of a heel on them.

"Zakernand has a lot to see, even in the city. Though, today would be you're lucky day - I was just heading to Tiānshǐ shíwù, a restaurant up the way. You're welcome to join me, its the best in Magic Earth and i guess i could tell you everything you need to know" she paused for a second and reveled in her position as she admitted "i come here pretty often"

((Fauna does not use this weapon, but folded up blade of Roman appearance.))

As the two of them began to delve deeper into the city, they needed to pass teh center and arrive on the other side until they reach the restaurant. "It's got the best food, i'm sure it will please your taste buds" Fauna went on, occasionally looking over her shoulder to make sure the woman was still with her. Then with the mention of getting lost she took a sharp corner ad her hair followed gracefully as she replied "Oh, are you sure? I'll have you know i've lost a few Nightmares in this cascade several times" she almost teased, Nightmares were the supposed evil spirits that pop up occasionally in these lands. It's not very often, and documented a little here and there, but she's met them, and killed a few. They're disgusting to say the least.

And then Fauna came to an abrupt stop as a cart brushed passed her, it cut her off and made her put her hands on her shoulders with a huff. "oh" she then said, looking round her shoulder. "Nice to meet you" she said first, "I'm Fauna Aurelius, of Olyphia. I have to admit, im not normally so friendly" she then began to continue walking as she added "I guess time alone makes conversation all the more worth it"

((Fauna does not use this weapon, but folded up blade of Roman appearance.))

Passing through the street again everyone who had moved for the cart were already flooding back in smoothly. In the distance Fauna could see the high towering building where the restaurant stood watch over it's victims. The city itself was like a giant cage, it pulled the hungry citizens in and then let them feast and shed money in its never ending floors of kitchens and tables. Coming up closer to a hill as they began striding up, in reply to Quin, Fauna admitted "It's not often they come to pester anyone, the samurai normally get to them first anyway"

Further up the hill of shops and carts though, Quin said something that Fauna could completely agree with. At first she wasn't too focuses on the reply because of the bustling people around her, then she heard 'rude or an idiot' and it made her turn around right away. "Precisely" she placed her hands on her hips and said "The last guy that i befriended didn't recognize my sarcastic remarks and obviously insulting teases. He was smitten, i should probably have told him straight... but where's the party in that?" she was almost making herself chuckle. She almost forgot that the restaurant was right behind her now.
