Welcome to Gaia! ::

Michiko gathered some bags and boxes of things she had grown out of or things she just didn't want to keep any more. She then headed out to donate her extra stuff to the needy, it made her feel good that she could do something even if it wasn't a big thing. She could help others. She also enjoyed volunteering at the neighborhood garden when the weather was nice, but donating or helping out at a soup kitchen was good too. She went in and out a few times putting the things she had brought in the area to be given away.

She was on her last box when she bumped into someone else and something shiny fell on the floor that she didn't notice. She blinked and looked up a little rattled by the coalition. She wondered if she had hurt whoever she had knocked into. "Oh no I'm sorry, I'm alright are you alright?" She asked in a bit of a panic. She didn't like the idea of hurting anyone. She had finally gotten some rest so she was no longer cranky. That evening trip to the store while the aurora was in the shy was a doozie.

Michiko nodded and then said, "That's a good thing though." He tone soft "More giving which is good right?" It seemed that neither of them was hurt which was very good she didn't want either of them hurt that would take the shine out of giving. Trying to deal with the guilt of accidentally hurting someone else. She looked up at the figure who had spoken to her and wasn't sure if she had met them before. She had met so many different people in Destiny City since she had moved here it was hard to keep track of everyone she had met.

She blinked and looked down at the stone pendant that was very shinny black with a ying yang etched into the surface. "Oh dear how did that get into my donation box. She gently took it from the other person's hand and put it on. "I haven't seen this in forever it was my grandmother's and it has been missing for a long time." She said softly "Thank you for spotting it, it might have gotten lost forever." With everyone moving around the donation center and the pendant having fallen out of her box the idea was scary and kinda sad. Luckily for the person who picked it up it hadn't been lost. "I'm Michiko."

Michiko nodded she liked to so the same thing, but after Christmas seem like the best time. The new year came and it was a great time to make things fresh and new. She smiled a little at the mention of the pendant. It was very good that it had been found. Like a little sign that the new year would have balance that the old year didn't have. "Thank you again." The necklace must have been in the pocket of something she didn't wear anymore. She couldn't remember when she would have taken it off though. "Nice to meet you Derrick." She said softly. Taking his hand to shake.
