 ------------------------------------------------
An area filled with darkness, dim lights spotted far off along the sides of the small forest, while trees formed and shaped to fit the low dirt/rock ceilings that protected the forest from the uperworld, a rushing river gushing through a human made river bed, consuming rocks paved along the bottom, that caused the water to cease from draining into ground, which helped keep a semi natural look to the deranged forest. A small stone path laid out upon the ground with small lanterns, guided the way along that path, along with several exotic flowers that looked as if they were freshly planted and nourished with intense care.
The path led onwards over the river and past many deranged tree's and continued to travel into darkness, after what would have been a few minutes walk a large tree in a clearing came into view, the river soon made into it's way into a shallow pond around the old maple tree while several water lilies and Lilly pads, that lay planted along the wide shallow opening of the pond. Several koi and goldfish skidding along the shallow waters and soon faded away into the shaded areas of the river peeked out now and than to see the one who had entered this peaceful forest.
Small fire flies that one would assume were brought down from the upper world, lit up along the old maple tree causing quite a sight with the whole set up and helping complete the look of the forest, the final touch was two shards of rock standing out in front of the maple tree with some kind of writing written on the flat surface upon the side of the two shards, the writings unreadable to those who read it, and probably unreadable to all.
The forest was quite peaceful, hardly any sound was heard other than the rushing river and the faint sound of a water fall that led far deeper into the woods, not even the heavy traffic from above could be heard here, it was like this place was to get away from everything and relax for awhile.

((Chibbi! heart This looks rather interesting... A good place for my drow.))
Finally deciding to leave the house, Erordia quietly wandered around for a while, looking for somewhere to go and be alone. She had thought about the gardens...but then figured she stumble across love-struck couples who had gone out for a walk. She frowned at the thought and continued to walk. It wasn't long before she came across this forest, something she hadn't noticed before. But then again, she had never walked out so far. It seemed to call her in as if any drow would be welcome there and with one glance at it's darkness, she could understand why.
Quietly, Erordia wandered in, moving easily to where the water ran. It was peaceful and soothing to listen to as she walked. Her silvery hair caught in a warm breeze and swirled around her. Yes, she would be visiting this place often. Part of her, however, wished that she had someone to bring with her...someone that she could hide away with. "Hotari... Rohan..."

*Glitch strided down the stone path, his eyes fixed on the destination ahead, as few thoughts ran through his mind, so many things had happened in the last while, such as meeting Riaka again. He just wanted to get away for awhile, and the only place he could think of was the large maple tree deep in this underground forest, no one could pester him there nor did anyone often come to this area. It was quite a strange thought at that, this place was what most people wished for, calm peacfull and it was about as quiet as you coul really get.
Flicking a strand of his hair out of his face, he made a 'tsk' sound in an irritable way when he came across an upraised flower. Comming to a halt, he kneeled down to push it back into the ground, carfully planting the roots without any damage, before he raised to his feet and began to head off in the direction of the maple tree.
Most likely Riaka was going to show up, she had been going on for ages on how they were both going to come here and how she was going to dub it there 'secret hideout', at that thought a small smile crept onto his face as he sighed and lifted his hands and tucked them behind his head, before picking the pace up abit.
While walking the tall branches and the large trunk began to come into view as did a blue figure tangled up in the higher braches of the old tree.
Stopping in the middle of the pond, the koi skidded along as did the goldfish, his eyes narrowing slightly as he called up to the figure, completely unaware of the other figure standing close by.*
Glitch - "Oi Riaka, climbing tree's isn't your specialty, you get tangled once you've gotten to the second branch.."
*Standing in a slouched postion he continued to give a blank stare while he scratched the back of his head with his left hand, that soon got covered by his long drapping sleeves.*
(("Sunneh!!" *Tackles.* "Glad you think so, I've been wanting to set this place up for Glitch and Riaka for awhile, but never knew there was a guild, heh heh. Tis really glad your joining in though!!" X3 <33))

((X3 I've only made one place here...but I wasn't as describtive as you. xd ;; ))
Stopping to look down at the water, Erordia's long ears twitched. The forest had been realitivly quiet, which, as she found, she quite enjoyed. She did, however, hear something, somewhere, but the sound had been far away and a normal human probably wouldn't have heard it. But she didn't seem to care so much since she wasn't out to find other people or creatures. Not too far into the forest, she stopped again and sat down on the river's bank and stared down at the running water. A few thoughts trickled through her mind but for the most part, it remained void of such things.

*Slamming her fist into a branch as she curses outloud, she looks down at Glitch while trying to squirm her way out of the branches.*
Riaka:: It's not my fault!! It's the tree's fault!!
*Tugs a little at her skirt, trying to get it unhooked from the tree's branches.
She then lets out a small sigh while laying sprawled out on the tree, her feet and hands dangling over each of the sides as she lays there.*
Riaka:: I give up.. I can't belive I lost to a damn tre--
*Before finishing her sentance, she slips out from the tree's grip landing on Glitch.
Rubs the back of her head before realizing just what she had landed on.
Standing up immidatly she bows several times to Glitch, who laid flat on the ground.*
Riaka:: Gooomen~!
*bends over slightly, her left hand on her left knee with her right hand extended towards Glitch to help him up.*
((Hey Sunny~! Wanna have Glitch pancakes?? :3!! <3333))

*Before he could say 'ah' Glitch found himself face down in the pond, Riaka sitting perfectly fine upon his back, before she soon leaped up after suddenly realizing what she had landed on. Out of the two Glitch was probably more damaged than she was and she was the one stuck in the tree AND fell from it, what luck he had, being squished after just getting here.
Mumbling into the water, he flopped his hand slightly onto hers, allowing her assistants in helping him back up, though with his unfortunate luck, she would see one of the fire flies or koi and drop him to chase after them.
Standing to his two feet he wobbled back and forth slightly, with his right hand upon his forehead as if to steady himself and re-focus on everthing around him. His clothes and hair drenched with water while water beaded down his skin. His eye pupils were completely narrowed into paper thin cat slits as he stared blankly into Riaka's eyes. A low sarcastic tone errupting as he spoke alloud to her.*
Glitch - "I suppose, you 'had' to land on me..? And not anything else..?"
*His blank stare remained on her as swept his hand along his shirt, in attempt to get most of the water off of it, which as usuall was unsuccesfull. Perhaps she would bump into him and cause him to fall off the side of a cliff next, with this girl you could never tell..*
(("Only if you fry Riaka up as a side dish!!" :B))

Sudden noises brought Erordia back to reality, her eyes snapping from one thing to the next. She couldn't have been the only one around... "No, you don't want to converse with others right now..." Confirming her words with a nod, Erordia glanced back to the river.
(( xd ))

*Shivers run down her spine as he looks at her with his cold hard stare, turning her head slightly she looks away from him. She then looks back to him as she waves her hands at him.*
Riaka:: N-no! How was I supposed to know I was going to land on you!?
It's your fault for standing underneath me!
*Placing her hands on her hips she looks away once again with a pouty face.
She then notices the koi skidding away from the one area of the river. Curious to what has caused them to flee from that very spot she heads over to that area, looking about the place she then notices the drow sitting by the river. Without hesitating, she walks over to her.*
Riaka:: Whatcha' doing?
((Meh Chibby and I have to get to bed, we'll continue tommorow. :3 <333 Ni ni luff~!))

*Glitch's blank stare remained untill she mentioned it being his own fault, the stare now became a glare, his hair rising up as a cats would while he stomped his foot down onto the ground with a very noticable sneer across his face.
This was just unbelievable, her blamming her landing on him!? How the hell did that one work? She's the one who went bombs away onto him without even so as a 'look out below!!' that was so typical of her.
Continuing to glare in her direction he spoke out again in his sarcastic tone of voice with abit of a snarl to it. The cold glare remaining as he crossed his arms over his chest.*
Glitch - "My fault? Peh, as if I was to know, that you'd fall out of the tree, you clumbsy oaf!!"
*His sneer soon turned into the blank look like before, as she walked off in another direction, changing his view towards the river , he too had just noticed the retreat of the Koi and gold fish, obviously they weren't alone, either it was a forest animal that's been living here, or someone else had discoverd this area of the undergound facility.
Hurrying over to Riaka's side, the drow elf soon came into sight aswell as he soon stumbled over Riaka's foot when she took to a sudden hault, causing him to bump into her with a slight 'ouf'.
Pushing away he fell back slightly onto the ground into a sitting postition while rubbing his head, and giving a blank look towards the ground.*
Glitch - "Whoah, I think I'm seeing doubles, maybe triples.."

((Sorry, I had gone to get a shower then lunch. >->))
Hearing the noises again, Erordia glared down at the water. She had hoped this place would be quiet so that she could think straight just as she started to look around, two separate voices came from behind her. Without thinking, Erordia unshethed her 10 inch dagger and spun around, ready to stab however had come up behind her. But she stopped short when she saw a girl standing there, a guy sitting behind her on the ground. Realizing what she had done, she re-shethed the dagger and huffed. "You shouldn't sneak up on a drow..." But she was also mad at herself. When had been the last time that she pulled a dagger on someone? That time had been when she was escaping the Underdark. Her past seemed to be catch up with her.

*Jumping back a little as she pulled the dagger out, she stumbled over Glitch's leg, falling to the ground she lands beside Glitch. Looking up at the drow, she rubs her head, her eye's a little widend from the sudden reaction.*
Riaka:: S-sorry! I never ment to suprise you!
*Watches as she puts the dagger back in it's sheth, still a little suprised, she stands up and extends her hand to shake with hers.*
Riaka:: My names Riaka.
*Lets out a small smile as she looks at her. She then looks down at Glitch.*
Riaka:: Are you ever going to get up?
((Tis okay. :3))

Hesitating slightly, Erordia took the girl's hand and shook it lightly. She was a bit shaken up about pulling her dagger on them but she tried not to show it. "I'm Erordia." She didn't add on her dramatic bow like she usually did. "Sorry about the dagger. It was just a reaction... I had thought I had gotten over such a thing." She didn't go into an explaination, figuring that they didn't need to hear it.

*Glitches face turned into a stern glare as the drow elf drew her dagger at them, his cold eyes narrowed to paper thin cat slits. Well this was new, never had he had anyone draw a dagger towards him before, it was quite obvious by the look on the girls face, that she was troubled and upset in a way, not to mention they did happen to surprise her, which would usually end up in this result.
He was about to speak out as Riaka, all of a sudden, tripped over his leg and landed right beside him. His cold glare returning as he spoke out in his sarcasrtic tone of voice once again before, thwapping her over the head with his hand.*
Glitch - "I would have gotten up, if it wasn't for you tripping over me. Jeeze.. I swear, you'll be the death of me some day.."
*Looking back towards Erordia, with a more focused look, and a stern face, he spoke alloud to her, a hint of seriousness in his tone of voice.*
Glitch - "We weren't exactly sneaking up upon you.. We were simply seeing what made the fish flee from this area.. Lately there's been someone causing havoc to this area."
*He continued to look at her while shaking his head slightly before removing a strand of hair out of his face and speaking to her again, this time a hint of curiosity in his voice.*
Glitch - "You don't have to apologize for your reaction.. I'm guessing we would have had a simaler result if someone had suddenly appeared from behind, well maybe not Riaka, she wouldn't clue in.
I haven't seen anyone here before, other than Riaka and myself, have you just recently come across this area, Erordia?"
*Forgetting his manners he quickly bowed his head and replied again, with an embaressed look upon his face.*
Glitch - "I must apologize, the names Glitch, nice to meet 'cha."

*Smiles as they shake hands. All of a sudden she feels the back of her head thwapped by Glitch, she then looks to Glitch with a small glare. Turning to him she walks forward a little and bends over so that their noses almost touch. Her glare remained on her face as she looked into his eye's.*
Riaka:: Just what the heck is that supposed to mean...?!
*Standing up, she turns to Erordia and shakes her head a little. Smiling a little she sits down beside the river, watching the koi swim about in the water, she then looks back up to her, still smiling as she speaks.*
Riaka:: Glitch is right, it's not your fault to have done what you have. We would most likely have done the same. How ever..
*Turning her look to Glitch, her smile turning into a frown as her glare returns. Her gold eye's narrowed as she glared at him while she sat by the river.*
Riaka:: I WOULD clue in. Obviously you don't know me well enough yet. Sure I may be clumsy, but I'm not stupid..
*she turns her head away form him once again, a bit pissed off for how he keeps treating her. She wraps her arms around her legs as she lowers her head onto her knee's, her face turning into a calm look as she watches the fish swim about. The thoughts in her head of Glitch and her when they were kids just didn't seem to match how they were now. She knew he was pretty cocky when he was little, but now that he's older he just seemed like a whole new person.
She then began to wonder if somthing has happend to him while he was away for many years, it just didn't seem to be the Glitch she knew.*

Erordia first looked at Glitch. "No, I don't think so. At least, no one that I know of. Am I not supposed to be here?" She didn't remember seeing any kind of sign telling her to stay out or anything but if she wasn't supposed to be there then she could leave easily enough. She then looked at Riaka and wondered why the two seemed to bicker back and forth. Siblings or just friends? She didn't bother to ask. Her curiousity wasn't that high at the moment.
