Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the Diamondia sailed onto its next destination, Lamia was perched in a sunchair, soaking up the sun's rays. The icy climate of Drum Kingdom had left an impression on her, and lately she'd take nothing less than the warmest she could get. It was very much like the winters of Tarkeena, only far more severe. There wasn't much more cleaning to do on the ship, and although she tried to keep the polish away from the captain, some oil always managed to grease the wooden boards of the deck.

"Land ho!" cried one of the men from the crow's nest. Lowering her sunglasses, Lamia looked around the side of the deck to see an island thick with jungle trees. At least it looked warm. With a sigh she slipped out of her seat down to Master Yobu's room. She opened the door to the two men playing chess, Master Yobu winning spectacularly once again.

"Island ho captain." she said boredly, "Looks like a spring island."

Danah sighed in relief. "Well at least it'll be nice and hot." she said in relief, "I'd hate a repeat of Drum."

On the shore she waited for Matsu to slip into some exploring clothes. She didn't wear her usual dress this time, but rather had a baggy tank top and some thin velour wrapped around her hips to preserve her modesty. It'd be embarassing if everyone learned how exactly she used the toliet, or as they'd asked, "taken dumps".

Lamia turned to hear her captain's familiar footsteps "It's about-"

Lamia's face turned considerably red as she noticed her captain's lack of clothing. She'd seen plenty of the crew run around shirtless...but in the back of her mind she couldn't help the thought....He kinda looks like a man-hooker like that...

"-time." she finished, "I'm taking a walk but I should be fine by myself, if that's okay with you."

(YES AND LAMIA WANTS TO TIE HIM DOWN TO A TABLE AND RAVISH HIM. But not really XD)

"Right." she answered back. She probably needed the walk...otherwise the near naked captain might distract her later.

She was collecting a posy of flowers to brighten up her room, when she spotted an enormous collection of caves to her right. Curious she looked and saw the mixed remainders of dinosaurs and men. Then, she was shocked as the earth began to quake with enormous thumps. She turned and was throughly baffled to see a giant with a long beard stomping her way.

"Greetings young lady!" he boomed out. He looked a little rattled, as though he'd just been in a fight, "What business do you have here on this fine day?"

"Not much," she said, still a bit mollified by the giant's sudden appearance. Nonetheless she sat down as the giant introduced herself.

"Well welcome to Little Garden! The name is Dorry!"

"I'm Lamia." she answered back, "I've never seen a giant before."

"Ha ha ha! Most men run screaming at the sight of me! But you're quite interesting good lady!"

"I can't run to begin with." she gestured to her lower half, "But watch it, my bite is worse that my bark."

"Bwahaha! That was some lovely tea of yours ma'am! Not too satisfying for my giant tongue though!"

Lamia had shared some of her lunch that she'd packed for the trip with Dorry, although, as he said, it probably barely filled his enormous appetite.

"I'm glad you liked it," she replied, drinking her own share.

"There's plenty of meat to be had around here, those dinos reproduce like a madhouse, but we're always seeking booze whenever we get visitors!"

"My captain might have some...no scratch that. He's bound to have some."

(Err...should I explain it in a private message? Its not something that I ought to disclose to the public like this >_<)

While Dorry and Lamia were enjoying a pleasant chat, Lamia spotted another giant running their way. She guessed this one was the Broggy Matsu was talking about.

"Great news Dorry!" he shouted out, "Matsu's just seen me and we've got booze on the way!" Dorry cheered out at this while Lamia looked interested back at Broggy.

"You know the captain?"

"Sure! We're good old friends! Matsu gets us booze everytime he drops by!"

Lamia inwardly smirked. Well at least the men wouldn't be puking as much without the alcohol.

"Sweet of him." Lamia commented back with an amused grin.

Lamia wrinkled her nose at the smell of alcohol stinging her nose. She gently pushed it back to her captain. "No thank you..."

"Well excuse us..." Dorry said apologetically, "But duty calls!"

"Duty?" Lamia asked curiously.

"Everytime the volcano there erupts," Broggy pointed to the lava flowing volcano, "It's a call for us to fight. So don't mind us lady," he bowed, "But we must move on! Matsu thanks for the booze!"

As they tromped off, Lamia could hear them holler and throw punches that rattled the earth. She sighed. Men...
