Welcome to Gaia! ::

Uh... it's a freaking maze of bushes with fountains and statues in it, and blood sucking ferrets everywhere. You can't get any more out of us. We don't know what it is either... Now, get lost, literally.

A small, black fox was trotting through the grounds to the maze, where it stopped and began the unpleasant task of morphing. It started strangely, all the limbs started stretching and growing, nails shrinking and flattening against the fingers. The tongue shrand to a human size and the eyes grew, turning a light electric blue. Then fur started receding into the body which soon turned upright, spine changing shape to accomodate. The fur was replaced by semi formal clothing, smokey gray slacks and a white button up shirt with black unpolished shoes. Then the hair on his head grew out forming white bangs and mid length hair. He then finished the other aspects of the morph and noticed the strange neko girl. "Bonjour..." He said simply and quietly, unsure of what else to say.

"Uh.... Hello madamiouselle... My name ees Duo..." He mumbled nervously, reaching out a hand in greeting. "Um... Was are you doing out here?" He asked curiously, his heavilly accented voice quieter than death itself. He had seen animals, and he had changed into them, but he had never seen a girl with real cat ears on her head. This was a whole new thing to him.

"What I'm doing ees meeting someone... Und asking why zey won't go into a labrynth alo-" Duo said while walking in the maze and was tackled by one of the wierd blood sucking ferrets that had been in the maze. He wrestled around with it, keeping one hand on it, causing him to absorb the DNA of the animal. Afterwards, he drew a knife and fought it to the ground, slitting its throat. "Well... I see why..." He responded after dealing with the ferret. "Zat was not at all pleasant..." He muttered, digging up as much ground as he could with his hands and burying the ferret. He had a thing about killing other animals, seeing as he had been an animal on plenty of occasions. Therefore, he at least gave the ferret a proper grave. "So... Why not go in together?"

"Nice to meet you Kana..." Duo said quietly. He noticed that she didn't seem to like seeing anything dealing with blood because she had closed her eyes and covered her nose and mouth when he was attacked and killled the fiend. "So... Eh... What would you wish to do?" He asked quietly.

Yellow Converse brushed aginst the dew smothered grass as it clung to the long and lean figure's blackpants. Pale, delicate seeming hands stuffed themselves into his pockets. His multi-colred shirt illuminated the darkness with it's bright and dark colors. Black and yellow sleeves, white and yellow body, and a black ruffle thing clinging around his shoulders with a yellow cloth tied around his neck. Yellow painted lips curved into a smile as he spotted two others, lavender eyes gleaming brightly in the moonlight. A yellow star had been entwined into his hair, as well as a lock of his hair tied neatly with a yellow string. I guess you could call it a costume, but he would wear these sort of things every day.

Lavender orbs glanced at the two figures with a non-chalant smile, hands still stuffed into his pockets. He shrugged softly, three yellow painted stars just becoming noticable. Shirt clung to his form, showing off his slightly muscular chest but he took no attention to it. "Hola!" he exclaimed loudly as it vibrated throughout the moonlit sky, drifting off into a weak and pitiful whisper. "I'm Mathaniel, but you can just call me Nat."he said firmly wih a friendly tone, flicking back a few stray strands of black locks with small twitch of his head. He looked down, noticing the freshly upturned soil. He decided to ask no questions and tried to come up with something else to say. "Wanna go in?" he asked, lavender eyes glancing towards the Maze entrance.

"Bonjour..." Duo said quietly stuffing his hands in his pockets. "So... Why zon't we go in now?" He asked, taking a few steps into the maze until he reached the center, which was about a hundred yards from the entrance but in a straight line. Multiple paths were carved in the hedges, creating a circle at the center. "I zhink we're supposed to find our way out ze other side!" He shouted back to the two. He looked at a gargoyle lined fountain that was in the center of the fork and examined the gargoyles more closely. "Zis looks more like eet belongs in a cathedral..." He commented.

Kana turned, looking at Duo for a moment as she nodded her head. Then her ears twitched and her head jerked back around to face Nat as she heard him squeal. But she just grinned, exclaiming as well. "Yeah, let's go!" She started after him, back towards the maze, eyes widening slightly when she saw Duo had entered without them. "Hey, no fair!" she cried, bounding after him and Nat. She blinked when Nat spoke and rolled his eyes, and then glanced around almost nervously, listening carefully for any signs of said ferrets.

Her ears twitched again as she approached the fountain, leaning forward slightly and poking the water cautiously with a claw. "Which way do we go?" she asked uncertainly. Then she turned, glancing over her shoulder at the two again. Her eyes widened slightly when they fell upon Nat, and she began staring. He looked... different. Even his skin tone seemed to have changed! She blinked a couple times, leaning slightly towards him. "Do you... not want to be here anymore?" she asked in confusion, her ears drooping slightly.
