Welcome to Gaia! ::

Asrahs was not sulking! She was just so tired of waiting. Babies coming seemed to take forever and really she wanted to be home with her papas and was not really in the mood to share them even if she knew it was good that they were here. Folding her arms over her chest she thought about this feeling a bit cold inside. She had lost her family and had been so happy when Papa Natu and Papa Vivekia had taken her in. She shouldn’t be so grumpy about having to come and wait while they helped with a new baby for their family. After all it was a new family member for her too right? She tiled her head back and let out a long big breath. Yes, it was a new member to her family but it would be too small for her to play with and everyone would want to play with it and not her. Walking she saw a wind lady grinding something up and a few pictures near her. They were kinda pretty and she wondered how long the paintings would stay. Maybe she could ask her papas about getting one later. Moving on Asrahs wound back up near where she and her papas were staying. Giving a long bored sigh she decided she was going to find something fun to do. The problem was everyone who would play was on baby duty which meant she had to just come up with a game by herself. Clenching her fists by her side she nodded determined and spun around ready to march and invent the best game ever!

Asrahs looked up surprised by the voice. It was soft and nice which matched the woman who spoke, but it was the same woman who papa Natsu explained was going to be bringing their new family member into the world. She unclenched her hands and folded them over in front of her looking up at the woman with a bit of importance, though it wasn’t mean at all. “I’m not looking for anything. So there is nothing to help me find.” Well at least she didn’t think so. Her tough façade started to crack after a second and she looked around not seeing an escape and also not really sure if she should let this woman in on her newly formed goal which she decided in an instant was the biggest secret in all the world. A hand tugged at her hair for a moment while she decided looking the woman over. Figuring if she could bring a new member of the family to her papas then she must at least be a bit trust worthy Asrahs made a come closer gesture. Keeping her voice quite she told the shifter woman her plan. “I’m going to make the best game ever to play. Can you help me?” She looked up with large pleading innocent eyes. She wasn’t sure where to start since no one else was around to help her play and test her ideas.

“I’m Asrahs.” Saying her name full of pride the youngling was so glad that Finnley would help her. As soon as Finnley leaned down Asrahs wrapped her arms around the shifter woman saying her thanks before quickly letting go to being plotting her game. Now that there were two people it would be so much more fun! But it wasn’t like they could chase sail scales here or even play lily hopper since there were no lilies. Frowning she began to look around at the trees, rocks, and dirt around them. How to go on? That seemed to be the big question. “Finilily what’s in Tale?” Asrahs looked up to the woman wondering what was even around to play with. The place had so much crystal grass and the like that was not fun to play with she wondered what was ok and ‘safe’ according to the adults.

Asrahs was still looking around but understood that this woman was just as out of place as she was. She watched the staff move and with it so did a rock. Asrah’s eyes widened to the size of meal plates and she watched the rock in fascination a small squeaking noise coming from somewhere in the back of her throat. The staff was moving before it moved but Asrahs didn’t know for sure if it was the cause, maybe in Tale rocks just moved sometimes. Was that why Papa Viveka told her to stay close to home in case a rock decided to come and chase her? Did rocks like to play games? She circled approaching with what could almost be timidity coming from any other youngling. She layed down on her belly a way away from the rock to see if there was something moving under it to play with, but there was nothing at all! Not sure what to make of all this Asrahs scrambled up and looked at Finnley confused. “Are you doing that??” Her voice held a mix of wonder and surprise as her small hand pointed at the rock in question.

Moving her hands around the rock just to make sure nothing was holding it up for real she finally grabbed the rock and the weight seemed to settle in her small hands. Turning it over she examined it a few times just to make sure it really was a rock and not a strange sort of beast she had never seen before. Looking at the shifter woman Asrahs nodded the affirmative. Yes. It was very very cool. She starred at the rock clearly hard in thought before looking back at Finnely. “Finnilily does magic hurt?” She couldn’t make a game if it hurt. Then it wasn’t a game but a bad thing. Moving rocks was ok but if it fell on her foot it would hurt. Not only that she couldn’t make a game if making stones move hurt finnely. She wrinkled her nose and looked back at the rock turning it over as she thought of games that could happen if rocks could actually move!

Asrahs nodded like it was some great and profound fact to learn. At the mention of more things that could be moved she grinned looking at her new partner in the game. “Yes!” She reached up and grabbed Finnley’s hand and started to look for water. She really had no idea where she was going but now she was thinking of game. Tugging on Finnley’s fingers she was talking and trying to work out the game. “So if we had a bunch of water in bowels and then took some stones we could get them wet and throw them. If you lifted the drops that fell down before the rock lands. Who ever has the most drops wins! It would be so pretty to see them all in the air. Or or we could make lots of shapes in the dirt and which ever one you can’t do wins.” Asrahs was no under the impression that finnley was an all powerful and amazing magic user.

Asrahs grinned and started to make circles in the dirt. “If we made circles in the dirt and threw wet stones could you catch them and whoever has the most drops in each circle gets the most points and wins!” For this they clearly needed to count the number of drops that fell. She nodded to what finilily said. She needed the drops counted.

She was working on the size the circles would need to be and how much each should be worth. The further would be the smaller circles with wide ones around them. The pattern would be random and it would make the game harder. “Where should we throw the stones at to make it really really fun?” There could be many path or places to aim for.

Looking at the circles Finnley made in the dirt. It was really really nice to see all those circles. It did make a lot of sense and it was better than what she had been working on. Pondering on it she looked serious at all the circles and walked around them. Nodding slowly three times she looked back up to her super best helper the magical Finnililly. “Its. Perfect!” She moved over to Finnley’s side. “Now we just need to find some stones and test it. It has to be tested to be a good game.” She moved around to go and pick some stones around found a few good ones. “What do you think of these?” She held up one for Finnley to inspect.
