Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Red! Wait up!"
"RED! GET YOUR BUTT BACK OVER HERE!"

The Sneasel and Rattata ran after the vulpix, but they lagged behind. Purple could catch up, but he didn't like walking or running on all fours. Blue could have caught up easily, but at the moment it was his turn to care for Eggie and he would rather not crack the little egg. So the Vulpix was pretty much left to run as she pleased...which was awesome for her but a pain for the guys.

She turned her head and blew a raspberry, "not my fault you two are a couple of Slowpokes!" she said. She kept running, and ran right into the water making a big splash.Blue sighed, "She'll never learn..."

When the two caught up, Red was already swimming. Picking a nice spot that didn't get too much or too little sun, Purple layed out three colored towels for them, Blue promptly taking a seat in his. He had the egg slung over his back in one of those baby carriers, he made it himself with some spare yarn...it gained a lot of teasing for Red, not only for the fact that he could knit things (she had already poked fun at that before) but for the fact that he essentially made himself a baby carrier that was light colored and styled for women to use. At this point, though, he really didn't care. As long as the egg was under his watch he was going to raise it his way - tender love, care, affection, the works.

He looked over to the section of beach walled off by rocks, the water was nicer and calmer there. He guessed it could probably be warm, didn't little eggs need warmth? "I'm going over there" He declared, leaving the egg carrier behind and holding the egg in his paws.

Purple looked around. All alone now...going into the teams bag, he took out a book and opened up to a previously bookmarked page, sitting down and enjoying his book.

((Rolling first))

Some people might swear that two small sparking bullets had just raced down the water's edge at supersonic speeds. Shrieking with laughter, the red and blue blur practically bowled their way through the guild members that had just arrived.

A moment later two small objects slammed themselves into the walled-off pool with such momentum that the splash they made was quite significant. Slowed by the drag of water, the two mysterious blurs were revealed to be a Plusle and Minum, both of seemed unable to stay within the same spot for any amount of time. Very soon the two were laughing shrilly as they tried to chase each other around the pool, playing some form of tag that involved throwing a spark onto their target. Needless to say, the water was soon becoming a little charged...


Melissa found it a lot easier than she had expected to convince Atra to go to the beach with her. The Flareon seemed to be doing better the weeks after he had found Hope and helped restore his childhood heroes.

As Atra stepped onto the beach he could almost feel the sand melting under his paws. They were surprisingly hot under the sun, and the additional heat from his fur was too much. With a sigh he consciously forced his temperature down as he and Melissa made their way towards the water.

Atra avoided most of the others and went straight to lie down on a nice flat rock that jutted into the water. He didn't get sand in his fur this way, there was a nice breeze, and he could amuse himself by dipping his paw in the water and see what it did in response to changes in his temperature.

Melissa spotted a familiar pink-haired Ralts riding on the back of a less-familiar black Flareon. Seeing as how Atra didn't seem to intend on spending the day with her, Melissa made her way towards the pair.

"Hello Alice!" She waved with a vine.



After an excited discussion, Team Polaris decided on how it was going to work things. Crown and Acer went to take care of the shop for the day. Cress asked for a day off at the Hospital in order to come; the Milotic did not want to miss the opportunity to be in the water. Incultyr refused to come, so he's staying back at the guild to keep keep a watch over things with the mercenaries. And Veritas definitely wanted to come.

Once they arrived Crescendo broke off from the other immediately, slithering as fast as he could across the sand until he finally slipped into the cool waters. With a satisfied sigh he ducked his head down beneath the shallow water and wiggled his way forward until it was deep enough to swim. It was always so nice being in the water. Milotics were not designed to live on land as he had done, and being in the ocean felt great. With a strong flick of his tail Cress descended deeper. He noticed another serpentine form, a Dratini. From the headband she was wearing, she was likely an explorer from the guild. The Milotic made his way towards her.

"Hello." He greeted happily. "The water is really good today." Not that he would know what the water was usually like or not like. He was just happy to be submerged, breathing cool, comforting water instead of the drying air.

The rest of Team Polaris set up a spot on the beach, laying down three towels. Morana was soon very grateful for them as she noticed how easily they got into her fur, and how itchy they became as a result.
