Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kari stared at the mysterious portal before her. It seemed safe enough, since she'd seen various creeple traipse through without issue, and a few had even taken a bite out of it. Surely, whatever was on the other side couldn't be bad, otherwise the student council wouldn't allow entry... right?

Steeling herself, the ghoul took a running leap into the swirling brown center. It felt... gooey... yet nothing stuck to her clothing. Strange.

Upon reaching the other side, Kari felt the wind rush around her as gravity took hold and drew her downward. Why was there no ground? This wasn't safe, she was falling! Daring to look down through the whipping tails of her scarf, she saw a large expanse of brown liquid below her. Whether she liked it or not, this looked to be her destination.

Tucking herself into a ball, she held her breath just before she hit the surface. The feel of the liquid held the same consistency as the portal, yet this liquid was much more clingy. Paddling upward, Kari gasped as she broke the surface. in doing so, some of the brown liquid dropped into her mouth.

"Chocolate?", she murmured, dipping her hand in once more and tasting the edge of her finger. Sure enough, the subtance she'd fallen into appeared to be giant pool of chocolate. Looking around yielded nothing to grab onto... it looked like her only course of action was to swim toward the pool's edge. Swimming wasn't really Kari's forte, being a fire mage, but luckily the edge didn't look too far away.

Kari couldn't contain her relief when her fingertips brushed against the bottom of the pool. She'd made it to the shallows! Scrambling forward, the ghoul took a moment to catch her breath before attempting to wring out her now brown-tinted clothing. Her scarf in particular seemed to sag under the weight of the liquid that it had absorbed during her swim, while her boots made a quiet squelching noise whenever she walked or shifted her weight.

After wringing out as much chocolate as she deemed possible, she craned her neck, only to find walls rising endlessly walls dome-like fashion. Though there was one lone object laying a ways away next to a portion of the circular wall. Striding towards the object, she picked it up and turned it over. A box? Carefully opening the lid, she found an assortment of chocolates tucked inside. Was this her reward, or a clue? Taking one of the white ones out, she attempted to break it in half. A deep red center oozed out slowly, the sole contents of the chocolate. Popping it into her mouth, she was met with the taste of raspberries. Searching through the others gave her no clues. So it was just a box of chocolates. Pocketing the box, the ghoul gingerly placed her hand on the wall in hopes of finding some kind of switch or hidden doorway. Instead, the wall rippled. Pressing down more firmly, her hand slid through and was once more met with a gooey consistency. Was this a way out? Looking around and seeing no other answer forthcoming, Kari stepped through the wall, albeit much more slowly. She was... back at the creepateria?

"What was the point of that?", she sighed in confusion.
