Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon entering the rather old looking junkyard, with toys piled up almost skyhigh, the group was greeted by a spunky little girl with big ears.


"Good evening! I have been expecting you..." She smiled at the large group of people and gave a little signal for them to follow her.

She took everyone deep into the junkyard to a little, round house, nestled in a quiet little corner. Sitting down on a box, she looked at the group once more.
"I've got a task for you all. I need something..."

((To be finished in a bit...))

Ying studied the girl, intrigued. It wasn't the elf's looks that fascinated her; Ying had seen too many different sorts of people to be bothered by that. It was the task that she spoke of. If there was something anyone needed doing, something that they required assistance in, she would always try to lend a hand.

As they were going into the house, Eriol plucked Ying from her seat and set her down on the ground. It wasn't easy, especially with Rinsei clinging to his back, but he managed, barely. To the Talaye, he gave one request- "Don't get into trouble."

Remus simply blinked innocently. "Not my fault humans have such small houses," he sighed, settling into a pile of what seemed to be old teddy bears.

While the other two talked, Ying had run inside. "Miss, is there something we can help with?"

Stepping into the junkyard, Kira was in awe how much toys were stuffed and piled upon one another. This could be on a map! As one of the seven wonders of the world! The toys were piled so high, that some might become timid, maybe even paranoid of the unnatural height of the toys. Feeling a little paranoid of the toys falling on her, Kira stayed close to her two companions.

Wiggling up from Kyou's back, Emarude's round eyes gazed upon the small girl with pointy ears. She had never seen anyone like her before! Except for in those bedtime stories Kira read to her, but never up front and in person. She was so cute too, about the size of the rest of them.

Though when the girl spoke, Emarude's ears perked up, trying her best to pay attention to the violet-haired girl. Something about retrieving an item. She would be glad to help! Kira always spoke of lending a helping hand whenever possible, so this would be her time to shine.

The only male upon the group grumbled slightly. A JUNK YARD?! There was to be no treasure here! Bah! What was he thinking when he decided to come along? First he had to carry around that little brat on his back, now they end up in a junkyard full of unwanted toys. This was vexing to him. Though when the little girl spoke of retrieving an item....his ears perked up. Treasure, maybe? Hopefully! Now instead of annoyed, Kyou was excitied and anxious.

Rinsei wiggled down from Eriol's back, giving him a little curtsey to show her appreciation for the piggy back ride, following excitedly after Ying.

This was no ordinary junkyard..not even Lori had this many stuffed animals! eek

Mesmerelda and Dawn which finally caught up to the rest of the group stared at the toys in awe. As soon as Dawn let Mesmerelda down she was on the toys high in the pile, eyes full of hearts as she fell in love with all of them. "I...Must...HAVE!" She said, clinging to the toys near the bottom as she looked around at the group and especially for Crystal.

"Can we take some?" She asked with just a little too much eageredness.

"First." the girl said, standing once more, grabbing an odd broom near her house and handing it to Crystal. "Here's what I called you for."
Crystal giggled and nodded, thanking the girl profusly.

"Anyways." The girl sat down. "My name is Lisa and I've called you all here to find something for me...You see, I lost this artifact called the 'Green Cane' and it is needed to enter a forest nearby. I believe that is also your next destination, so if you find it, you may be closer to what you are looking for. I will reward those I can with what I can..but I must appolgize now, I do not have enough to give everyone."

She sighed, dusting off her dress and standing to look around. "I lost it somewhere in this darn Junkyard...but the problem is, my eyesight has gone bad and I cannot search very well on my own. And THIS is why I need your help."

Eriol frowned. The girl didn't look old enough to need a cane. Maybe it was sorta like the staff his mom had bought him. And it was green; the girl had good taste in color. Perhaps it wouldn't be too bad.

"Of course we'll help you find it," Ying squealed, one fist clenched. "It's our duty, after all!"

Conveniently for everone else, Remus had fallen asleep in a pile of plushies, and even better was not snoring for a change.

"I'll help!" Mesmerelda shouted and began throwing toys gently every which way around the room, making sure to throw them at just the speed to not break any of them, for they might be a reward after all. Within no time Dawn was by her side and the two had a large wall of toys that weren't the green cane around them.

"Come on everybody! Dig in, we have to find it! Not only for toys, but so we can unshrink ourselves, and even help this lovely lady!"
