Welcome to Gaia! ::

TO DO:
[This stage will happen when I feel your child has enough development AND character interraction with others. Some might grow quicker than others, depending how much tender-loving-care you've given your guardian AND the shop. They can't very well develop if you don't even know who or what they're like as a child! Interraction is key at this stage, so by all means, let the RPing begin!

The least amount of work I will require before they change will be as follows:
- At least 3 RP's (logged in the journal) with another Guardian/Companion
- Asked for AND completed Quests
- At least two additional journal entries
- At least one magic RP in the Shop

Remember, these are the least amount of work. I always enjoy people going above and beyond. Furthermore, just because you've accomplished all of these steps, don't expect your character to change overnight. Depending how active you have been, depending how much substance you post in your journal, and depending if I feel your character is ready for growth, only THEN will I grow your child.

It's not a "playing favorites" game, it really just comes down to activity. If you're active and have hung around the shop, chances are, you're not going to have to worry.

Luis' Room

The Graveyard


The Gas Station

Hylusis when she was a Long-Tailed Duck~!

gifts go here! Thank you so much!!



Luis: Do we really need four of them?
Hylusis: *sparkle*

from the Bird Cage:



Luis: wow, thanks.
Hylusis: (hoard)

actually, I'm not sure who has given these S.S. to me. >D< please!! Let me know!







From Donna the Vixen to Hylusis



Luis: She got something just for you!
Hylusis: ... oh, thanks.
Luis: *sweat*
(don't worry, she's very pleased!)

I'm trying to figure out Hylusis' "theme" music. Luis is more tangible. He's just a angsty, depressed teen. (laughs) I have plans for him, though. Hylusis is more... well, surreal? Right now, I'm focused on either Schwarz Stein or SOFT BALLET. I think from what I've learned on SOFT BALLET, it seems more exciting, but... well, especially more conceptual and insturmental pieces from Schwarz Stein and HORA can be really good. I have to find the perfect wavelength.

Of course, Velvet Eden's totally out! Unless she grows strange in the end... (laughs)

Childhood

I dream of childhood returned in my sleep! I think Childhood is like, the best part of being alive. (laughs) That's terrible, but I think we're all rotting away out here, if we don't do something! Children are awesome. Childhood is a great time, full of wonder and discovery. Children are created to LIVE and to SURVIVE. Once you hit puberty, according to science (and most religion) your goal is to give life. You're life is not your own!

But, that aside, there is something very strange and palpable about children. They're fresh, new, innocent, curious... but also crazy. They are the ultimate potential, right?!

No, they're just really quirky little buggers. I think everyone can be a child if they put effort into it. Until they die...

Winter
Ah~! Actually, though I dread this season, when it occurs, it seems I enjoy it. =_=; Winter is a dying breed. In White Planes, it was 70*F, on December 15th, 2006. A mini-ice age would be nice right now... crying I love snow, and the crisp, clear, fresh weather winter brings. In winter, migratory birds move south. Waterfoul who normally live un in the artic circle come down and stay in lakes and bays in which humans reside.

During winter where I live, swans gather. It's very pretty, to see swans. (laugh) there are ducks as well, but not artic ducks. In winter deer come to our bird feeder because food is scarce. Oh dear... I just want to hibernate. =D=

Some "birds" also leave my town, and go to florida.

Death

I thought I would address this theme too because it's an imporant theme not only to these two characters, but to the shop itself!

Death is the end of life. It's something Luis fears most. He doesn't like thinking about dying, especially the thought of people who he is close to passing away. This is not something new created by his recent experiences with Adele, but is something that has troubled him for a while. He doesn't like the idea of loosing someone, not only in the physical sense, but the metaphorical sense, as well. He's the kid who would be the first to arrive and last to go. Maybe that's the reason he doesn't have many friends? Or was he hurt in the past...?

In anycase, whatever traumas he has faced, there are many to still come, which is why I feel bad. Basically, he gets physically ill at the thought of dying, or at the sight of corpses. *sweat* Even so, please continue to support me. Thanks!

ps: pretend the prologue is not rife with grammatical misconceptions! It sounds pretty, but it doesn't make sense if you look at it that way, does it? ... =_=U

maybe you could say that about everything I write. >_>
