Welcome to Gaia! ::

Floor 2.



Guardian/Adult's Room.
The guardian's room is nice, and relaxing. Soft colors, an entertainment center that's the best in the entire shop. Relaxing, and good for Guardians with young children.

Kitchen
The kitchen is small, but it works. Gas range, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher and trash compacter, a little island bench, and overhead cuboards for storage. The fridge and freezer are in seperate places.

Dining Area
Also small, but it's perfect for meetings. There's a notice board near it, and a few compact storage areas hidden cleverly around.

Living Room
This room has a nice large TV, storage drawers under the couch, and is a competely 'child safe' zone. That means movies for all, toys around the place, books for all ages.

Bathroom.
Has a shower, and a toilet, and a sink. Not too large, but it does what it was intended to do.

Neith and Aurora were sitting in the old living room on a new rug, watching a new TV that was set up. The living room was the only room that had been fully cleaned so far, the floorboards not quite shining, but free of dust, the windows could be seen through now and new curtians fluttered around in the breeze.

They didn't hear the voices at first, the movie drowning out most. But when someone called from the top of the stairs, Aurora twitched and jumped up to run towards the stairs to greet whoever it was.

She skidded to a stop right in front of Xannyia and a little girl, one Aurora hadn't seen before, and peered upwards at Xannyia. "Neith is in the living room, follow me!"

Then Aurora led them back to the living room again. Neith had stood during that time, and greeted Xannyia with a hug. "Hello!"

"I'm so happy for you!" Neith exclaimed, as she kneeled and smiled gently at Sarria. "And what's your name? I don't think your name is 'a little child'..."

Aurora wasn't quite so reserved, she took Sarria's hand and drew the other out without a thought. "I'm Aurora, do you like to watch movies? Or play games? I like games, or maybe do you like to play hide and seek, or swim? I love to swim, and I like the ocean!"

Neith shook Sarria's hand. "It's nice to meet you, Sarria."

Then she stood up, and patted Xannyia's shoulder. "Hungry? You can come help me get some food, let the girls meet on their own? Besides, I'm in the mood for pancakes. Big, dripping with honey, pancakes."


"I think we got to take you swimming then." Aurora decided, and added, "But you can watch movie with me for now? It is too cold for swimming, we'll freeze before we get in up to our waists."

She flopped down on the rug, and patted the space next to her for the younger girl. "The movie is good, it is sleeping beauty! I hope I get a prince like that." Aurora let out a long girly sigh, cuddling a Ken doll as she watched the movie. If someone looked closely, Barbie had been hidden behind the couch...

Bri had made it farther into the shop this trip around, taking the steps up to the second floor one by one as she watched her daughter bound up the steps in leaps and bounds.

"I hope Yeste' is here.. or maybe Kami.." Kerryn said as she finally took her first step onto the surface of the second level floor. Eyes darting around, her smile fell. It was just her and Bri there.

Following her daughter up the stairs, Bri's eyes swept the room, coming to the same conclusion Kerryn did. "Maybe someone will show up soon for you to play with?" She hoped so, Kerryn spent too much time alone.

Bri looked over her shoulder at the boy, this was one for Kerryn to handle. Maybe she could make friends with him? Although, his current disposition might make it a little hard for her. Wandering off towards the kitchen to investigate the other rooms, Bri left Kerryn to talk to the boy.

Turning on her heel Kerryn turned to face Ronin. A sour look taking hold of her features when she noticed that it wasn't one of the people she was waiting for, although her head already knew that from the difference in the voice.

"I could ask you the same thing." She told him tartly, crossing her hands over her leather apron. "What're you doing here?" It was a bit of an absurb question considering she didn't exactly know where 'here' was other than up the stairs.

Kerryn blinked at the flurry of events, looking over her shoulder as the boy ran off to hide behind the couch and then snapped her head quickly forward as Lena came up the stairs.

'Ronin.' She thought to herself, 'That's his name.'

"No." Kerryn told the woman with a smile, wanting to tell her, 'Yes, and he's hiding behind the couch.' but he asked her not to. Trying to adopt the illusion of thought, Kerryn looked around, "Are you sure he came up here..? I've been standing here the whole time, and no one was up here when I showed up." That part, at least, was true.

Kerryn watched her go, making sure she was well out of sight before turning to face the couch with a raised eyebrow.

"Care to explain why I just lied for you?" She couldn't help but sound a little disgusted in herself, she just lied for a boy, and one that didn't even seem worth the effort. Walking over she flopped herself down on the couch, just incase he wanted to stay hidden, they could still talk like that.
