Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pandora scratched at the dirt in front of her and stiffened; she could smell the fresh air of the above world over her head and knew if she dug just a little more she would break into the forest. According to her calculations she should be somewhere in the middle of the forest, to the east of the canyon, south of the training school. She called mentally to her raven companion, Starck, who was flying over her making sure she didn't accidentally find herself in a body of water for it is very difficult for a blind painter to swim. Starck landed and pecked at the soil above Pandora's head, anxious to see his master again, "Pandora! ARCK! It is safe and dark! Come out master!" Pandora coiled her muscles for a few moments then launched herself out of the ground, her chupacabra, Menolly, scrambling out of the great hole in the ground after. "Good to hear you again Starck... I missed your voice," Pandora smiled and pet his head softly stretched her stiff limbs.

Menolly, the opal chupacabra, stared about with her bright yellow eyes and tastes the air with her black tongue. She could scent another Painter in the area and conveyed the thought to her master, Master... I can smell another being. Pandora swung her head blindly in the direction of Menolly's voice and responded aloud, "Thank you for informing me of the presence Menolly.... I only hope who ever is watching us reviles themselves soon before I decided to find them... forcefully..." Starck at that point hopped onto Pandora's shoulder and squawked, "I will be your eyes master!" Pandora chuckled and licked the raven affectionately with her whispy tongue, "Thank you my dear...." Pandora bowed her head in concentration for a moment and then snapped it up, moving her head in exactly the same motion Starck was, looking around as if she could see, though the mental picture was being sent to her through Starck.

Pandora swung her head towards Zulimar's voice, and her eyeless sockets probed the area were he was standing. With an edge to her voice Pandora aloud talked to her raven without moving muscle, "Starck, give me an image of our new guest please..." Starck cawed and did as his master commanded of him, and kept a constant flow of images this time instead of just a picture. Pandora smiled as the mental movie played in her head, she saw the male P'an in front of her in excruciating detail due to the precise vision of her raven companion. "Ah! Much better, it is so nice to be able to see the face of who you are talking to..." Pandora smirked and cocked her head, "So then... who exactly are you again...?"

Pandora smiled sweetly, a complete opposite to the violent nature she had expressed only moments ago, "Ah! Zulimar, what and interesting name, and..." Pandora blinked at the hyperactive monkey and repressed of shudder of distaste, "What an... interesting creature..." The constant movement of Suko put Pandora on her last nerve, she hated hyper... things... She shook her head slightly to clear it of the violent notions she had towards the monkey and looked back up at Zulimar as if looking at him, "Even though you didn't say please, I will indulge you with my personal information; though I couldn't possibly understand why it would interest you..." Pandora smirked and chuckled, "My name is Pandora, my raven goes by the name of Stark, and my little blood sucker of here is Menolly." Pandora gestured respectively to her raven and chupacabra before settling once more, her paws gripping the earth as if for dear life. Pandora can sense the vibrations of the world around her through her paws, and often enough prefers to have them in the ground. Stark cawed and shouted to Zulimar in his loud, rough voice, "It is a... pleasure... to meet you..." Menolly then coiled herself around her masters paws and smiled, waving her paw in a greeting, "We haven't seen another Painter in ages, it is nice to see more of your kind once more..." At that Pandora laughed, "Oh Menolly my dear social butterfly, I believe only YOU enjoy the presence of other painters..." Menolly blushed and clung tighter to her master...

Pandora stared distractedly in Suko's direction, watching her as Starck was, "Yes yes.... a pleasure..." She couldn't help it, the hyperness, the sounds it made... Pandora wanted to smash it! But she took a deep breath and sighed with patience. Zulimar was telling to to leave, and Pandora regained composure once more. But then the little creature gave her a flower! Was it completely oblivious to it's impending doom?! Pandora took another deep breath as the thing finally left and gingerly picked up the flower between her claws by the stem. She dropped it into the palm of her other hand and closed her fingers around it before putting her paws back on the ground, "All is forgiven..." With a shrug she cocked her head at Zulimar, "So then... hows life?"

Pandora waved her paw dismissively and sighed, commenting on Zulimar's description of his life with sarcasm dripping from her voice, "Wonderful.. Your life is so very interesting.... Now can you give me something exciting to listen to, or are you going to continue to droll on about your fur ball. I did not ask how IT'S life was going... I was asking about you, and I was hoping for an answer that was a little more substantial." With another sigh and an exaggerated flourish of her body as she lay down, Pandora continued, "I live mostly under the ground exploring this island's endless catacombs and labyrinths, I was hoping to get a taste of what surface life was like again before diving into the depths of the earth once more. If you can not supply me with something interesting to listen to, I hate to be rude, but it isn't worth my time listening to small talk... "

Pandora rolled her eyes, This guys gets riled way to easily... yay for me... *sarcasm*... She stretched out a bit and paused, suddenly having an idea, "Alrighty then... moving right along! How about you do this for me, tell me what it is like to fly and be able to see all the land before you. Yes yes, I can fly, but it is difficult and dangerous since that eyes I look through aren't mine. Help me picture what it is like and I'll ease up on, I swear on my ladies honor." At that she chuckled but tilted her head, hoping the male would accept so that at least something productive could be gotten out of this meeting...

(( O-o; I didn't do anything... Pandora was the one who said it!! XP ))

Pandora smiled and thumped her tail against the ground happily, "There we go! That was a beautiful description... wasn't too hard now was it?!" She giggled slightly before sighing and shuddering, "But the water part... It unnerves me. I dislike the water immensely, the idea that it extends for ever gives me the goosebumps..." She shrugged before swaying her head back and forth, catching the vibrations of sound upon her skin and using a sort of echolocation to make herself feel more aware of her surroundings. "Well then! Is there really anything else left to say, or can I finally get too hunting for my little Menolly. I would usually let her feed of my blood but seeing as I haven't eaten in ages it would be wiser to let drink the blood of out prey." After a moments thought Pandora added, "You may come along if you wish... I'm hoping to get a nice big stag and I wouldn't mind divvying it up. Good company is a rare find these days..."
