Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Cerillia pulled herself up from a snowdrift, two things struck her. The fact that she was definitely not in Kansas anymore, and the vague knowledge that she should be cold.

Not that she was cold.

Just that she ought to have been.

Brushing the snow from her shoulders and chest, she tried to think back to where she'd been last. With her friends. A moment of panic washes over her and she begins to wade into shallower snow, searching wildly for a sign of her friends. It was one thing to be in a totally alien place, and another thing altogether to be there alone.

Justin had been walking around his 'castle', lonely and bored. So he wandered into the enchanted room, each door lead to one in the same room. He took off running towards one, expecting to end up back in the darkness... But no..

"Ah!" He yelped out, falling from the sky. Arms flailed, the snow getting closer and closer.

Thump

He hit the snow in a full-on belly flop, face included. He just laid their, arms flailed to his sides. He was dressed differently now, and had a different air about him. Perhaps his entrance into this world had changed him a little more than physically.

Slowly he pushed himself up, shaking off the snow from his face with a 'brrrr' shaking sound. Once he got to his feet he jumped a few times, looking at his new clothes, the way he looked now. Then he saw the others, John and Ceri.

"Well... Fancy seeing you here... Mind telling me what your doing in my dream?" He grinned slightly, walking towards them with arms limp at his sides. His footprints left little jesters hats in the middle of them, odd. He had no weapons, but instead, a stick stuck into the belt at his side, and a backpack of random objects on his back.

Nekiru glided gently across the many clouds of the heavens above, looking down below as she liked to do in her spare time, not that she ever ran out of that. Having flown over this area over and over again, she decided to venture farther away. Beating her creamy wings every so often just to go a little faster.

Looking at clouds and their fabulous formations have sorta gotten boring to her. She wondered if the other deceased have already gotten bored also. If they did, they sure were good at hiding it. Then something further up ahead caught her eye. It was like.. a hole in the sky? No, that can't be right. She approached it cautiously. Blueish clouds were framing it, even though it was just the size of her hands put together. She inspected it from all angles, curious, but couldn't make anything of it. She looked into it.. and could see something inside, despite it's paper-thin appearance. She approached her face closer to it, trying to make out what was in there.. "Eyaah!" Her face was being pulled in and she couldn't back away even with the strong gusts she was producing with her wings. Somehow her whole body fit through the hole and..

"Look out below!" She yelled as she spiralled downwards towards Cerilia and Justin. She tried to catch some wind in her wings but was too late. She crashed into the two of them, all three becoming a heap of limbs and feathers. She gasped and tried to get herself free, then realised who those two people were. "Justin..? Cerilia? Is it really you?!" She hugged them tightly as she laughed happily. "Oh how I've missed you so!"

John looked over at Justin as he got crapped out of the portal. "Justin? By the gods...whats going on?" He lauhged at a bit at Justins comment "Your Dream? If Ceri's dressed like that, this is totoaly my dream" He grinned and gave Justin a hug. And then Another come shooting out of the portal. John just stared at it for a minute. "N...Neki?" He asked slowly, stairing at her wings.

A faint light shimmered way up in the icey valley, comming from a window peeking out of the snow-covered ruins. Most likely the nearby exposed hallway would lead to it. On the other hand, there was no way of telling what -else- it might lead to. Still, it was the only thing in the entire valley that showed any sort of motion other than the adventurers themselves.

Justin pushed himself up to his feet again, once again brushing himself off. When he looked up he noticed that light off in the distance. He looked around at the others, then began to move towards it, picking up the jesters hat along the way. "Mm hmm hmm.. What do we have here? A kitchen? A home? Perhaps a powerful mage waiting to kill us all? Ohhh, interesting." He grinned, moving to place the hat back atop his head, he didn't seem to realize he was doing it. Indeed, Justin had either sustained a head injury, or this place had eliminated all shyness he had...

"Coming, or are you all just going to stand there, staring at each other like blinded deer? Hop to it, marsh two three four march to three four." His voice faded away as he followed the path. With every step the bells on his hat made a slight noise, again, he didn't notice.
