 Trelweny's Numa
Oh look. Seems like Mysidia claimed a Gingerbread Cottage as a meeting & gathering place for those numa who gather to Trelweny. More likely than not visitors will find the well kept domicile unoccupied. Mysidia likes to fly off -usually to her mate Ryuune's side. Naoki can often be found hanging like an overly large brown doily on top a candy cane in the candy cane forest. Alice, Piper, & the purple bundle of mouthy-ness that follows them are often out adventuring if they find themselves 'stuck' in numa numa land.
But on those occasions where they need a place to relax, and Trel's house in Bass'ken Woods is too far away or otherwise unattainable, this is where they wander.
Welcome!

numaMysidia
Mysidia is a cheerful bundle of sunshine who believes everyone is her friend and shows it in a most playful attitude and lots of hugs and affection. She is extremely devoted to her mate, Ryuune, and their family. She still thinks of their young as her pups, even though all four are full grown & Naoki at least much larger than she is. Mys also has a brother WarkWehs who she adores and misses greatly (though he probably does not miss his sister's way of interrupting his sleep with wanting to play much if at all).
Mys is a chocobo numa and the sounds of a chocobo speckle her speech.
Piper & Alice (and Cheshire) Piper tends to be on the quiet side, preferring to speak with his eyes or through the music of his pipe. Usually it is his mate, Alice, who provides the introductions with an often courtly air. Their familiar -or rather Alice's- is the mouth of the bunch, often snapping out with some derogatory or witty comment. They are cosplaying, but perhaps because of the madness of Wonderland of Alice & Cheshire's characters this trio is actually a bit mad themselves, having delved a bit too far into their characters & acting until they actually believe they are who they impersonate but in numa form. They find the sweetness of NNL often too sweet for their tastes and will whenever possible drink water or milk or tea over grape soda, breads and apples over gummies and candycanes. However Alice does have a penchant for tea cookies & Cheshire will eat pure sugar, especially if it's in a sugar bowl. Naoki (and Thanh)
The tree-ish son of Mysidia & Ryuune has acquired both of his parents' speech intricacies. Although he loves the sunlight on a very tree-like nature it makes him quite sleepy and because of this he is often to be found sleeping when the sun is bright & warm upon him. Growing up he had a very healthy appetite and spent a lot of time at Trel's house with his mother as well as NNL so ate more than mere sweets. He also seems to gain something from the sun, though whatever the reasons ... Naoki grew to be quite large. He easily dwarfs his average sized mother. But he is a gentle and often shy giant, often preferring to be by himself particularly upon the tops of the giant candy canes of the forest.
The butterfly in constant attendance is named Thanh, and is often disappointed in its companion's lazy behavior in sunlight hours.
One thing to be said for Naoki is he can be a gentleman & has a very tender heart. He would never want to harm anyone & will go out of his way to help anyone he meets even if it goes against his solitariness.
SunnyDaze
Let's play!! Sunny Daze loves to play and can be a bit of a Tom-boy about it. She loves making friends and seeing again those friends she meets.
((RP post color #FBB154 or orange))Eevee
...and people thought Naoki was shy. *grins* Eevee is shy, extremely shy, but very, very loving when she so choses.

(links to digi numas)
Digital Numas!
sweets through the looking glass... digitized!!
Lem & Ada Yes... I played with Strawberry Shortcakes as a child. Lem and Ada were my absolute favorites even though I've never liked drinking lemonade. I loved their light golden curls and how they smelled of sweetened lemons. So my light digis are a sort of homage to those two little twins that were always children. heart ~~~~~ Lem and Ada because of their light and love have become a source of interest to a couple of vampires. One in hopes of learning their joy kidnapped Ada. Lem alone found Shiro, a private investigator to help in the locating of his twin. This has led to a romantic interest between Lem & Shiro, although Lem is so innocent he does not see the extent of his affection for his friend. As it stands it is a doomed relationship, for not only could Lem and Ada never be separated but Shiro is also a Vampire & as such sensitive to all natural light especially that of the sun that the light twins love so much. Lady Rachel & Sir Trevor I've named these two after my late husband & I's Renaissance Festival Characters. We started dating each other exclusively on 1 October 2000, after 'courting' both in & out of character at fair... Perhaps it is also fitting that Sir Trevor is #55, which not only was Timex's favorite number but his football jersey number as well. Sir Trevor & Lady Rachel are mates... and yes... the sickeningly sweet together kind. Although Sir Trevor does tend to be more than a bit mischievous... Foraze & Doraze Foraze & Doraze are holiday twins, named from the chorus of the Who-ville Christmas song 'Welcome Christmas'. Christmas is their favorite time of the year. They love the snow and the games and the cheer & time with family & friends & the giving of gifts. The giving far more than the receiving. Their favorite things to give are cookies... or other foods and edibles. Except for their Christmas items, these wintry siblings aren't overly keen on possessions preferring to travel light. Rayse Rayse is an Emerald Tree Boa nibble. His personality has yet to be determined for he seems rather shy. His shyness is almost so much so that Rayse can come across as mean in his attempts to shy away from others' company. Mehldie Her name is formed of the phonetic spelling of the Elvish for "love shadow" which should be "Meleth-dae"... but seeing as no one would ever pronounce it correctly I made the shift. So that's a strong 'I' on the end, not an 'e' sound. Mehldie is very energetic. Usually she is also very cheerful thought she is prone to sudden mood swings that don't always have anything that sets them off. She loves telling & listening to jokes, though she is actually quite bad most of the time when it comes to telling them. Often... just because she is simply laughing too much thinking of the punchline to come. She also loves 'adventuring' & meeting new numas of every type. Mehldie can be quite hyper. Colum Lad's more'n a'bit'o Irish. Aahmee There's more to this sweet nibble than meets the eye. Primarily being -her jealousy. Aahmee fancies herself in love with the light & sweet & child-like Ada. She does not see how the perfectly innocent light twin could like the vampire Renji. In truth she does not see how either twin tolerates the vampires much less like them as they do, but when it comes down to it her envy is only riled where Ada is concerned. In all other things Aahmee is as bright and cheerful as her pelt.

home away from home
(the house in Bass'ken Woods)
Trelweny's House in Bass'ken Woods: Some light flickers through needles of the conifer trees & the branches of the deciduous trees of the woods. There is a fairly clear path though the woods, a little wider than a large draft horse. Some old wagon ruts lightly mark the edges.
Deep in the woods a clearing opens up to reveal a quaint little cottage, perhaps one and a half stories high. It looks only large enough to have 4-5 rooms inside. Smoke curls welcomingly out of the chimney bringing with it a soft, comfortable warm smell.
The cottage itself is surrounded by a lush rose garden, beautifully blooming no matter the season. Amid the roses there were Amaryllis, Morning Glories, Moon Flowers, Midnight Candy Phlox, Strawberries, Raspberries, and something that looked to be mangos. Around the corner of the house to the right there is a vegetable garden with asparagus & broccoli & spinach & sweet potatoes. All grow with health despite the weather. To the other side there was a strange, metallic looking shed beyond the garden with no windows & an odd door.
Main Room: The front door opens onto a communal greatroom. The room is fairly large, with a vaulted ceiling overhead. In the corner to the right of the door a television is usually on -playing either musicals or children's shows. Going to the right wall is the fireplace with a cozy fire burning brightly behind a very secure grate. Above the fireplace hangs a portrait of a human woman, the young boy, & a man who was broad of shoulders & kind of face with a mischievous crooked smile to match the child's. The name "Relm Arrowny 2006" is scrolled in the lower right hand corner.
Across the room are two entrances, one to a short hallway; the other into what looks like a kitchen. There are often smells of a home cooked meal coming from inside.
The left wall has but one door, which looks like it leads out to the gardens. In the floor to ceiling window to the left of the front door is a beta tank with four fish inside hung suspended four feet from the floor. There are a couple sofas as well as a dozen pillows & beanbags & cushions scattered upon the floor.
There is a hammock about halfway up the height of the room, with another one located higher up if one cared to look.Kitchen: The kitchen is fairly homey. The cabinets are wood with a simple trim painted white. The floor tiles are a soft tan with some green tones designed to resemble stones. The counter is a slightly darker version of the floor tiling, except without the square breaks -being one continuous surface. A table stands in the middle of the room that perhaps could hold 4-6 humans comfortably, but like the rest of the house is subject to change to meet the needs of those within the room.Trelweny's Room: A soft moss-colored carpet covers the floor. In the middle of the room is a large fourposter, dark wood bed, covered with soft cream colored down blankets & almost too many pillows. The wall's are light & breezy, as is the cloud sky mural on the ceiling which is broken up by large dark wood beams & rafters. A fireplace is on the west wall. There are large windows with soft curtains on the north and east walls. Remus' Shed: odd, metallic shed on the left of the cottage -just beyond the gardens. On all nights but those with a full moon the door is not locked or bolted though it kept shut. The large locks clearly visible against the otherwise unadorned & unwindowed exterior. Equine Shed: Behind the house a small barn stands, brown & grey -weathered but in good condition. Flicking a switch in the wall a door on the barn opens.
The interior is warm & glows warmly with circular lamps that are usually set to a low output level. Although there are a few more stalls, only two have a name about the door: Timex, and one with paint much more fresh, Eiraceyrn.
Rooms Inside Magic Door:Remus' Library: The door opens onto a huge classic library that could not possibly fit into what could be seen from the front of the house. The walls are floor to ceiling with books of every sort lining them except for long, thin floor to raised ceiling windows evenly spaced throughout. The windows look thin more from their height then their width, which is enough for an average human to sit in the window seat below each with their legs pulled up to rest a book on their knees while they took on a view of the ever-blooming gardens outside. A small cozy fire flickers in a grated fireplace in front of a loveseat & a pair of large wingback armchairs, all in soft but elegant leather. Each chair is just large enough for two humans to curl into while the loveseat could easily fit up to four.Rikku's Machina Workshop: Her workshop is clean but slightly cluttered. Pieces of machina in various stages of disrepair clutter every possible nook & cranny. There is a smooth, cleared spot on the silver metal workbench in front of a high stool that is clearly the Al Bhed's work area. A small closet with its door left open reveals Rikku's kimono & cowgirl outfit, as well as something fluttery & thin but not quite transparent in the same sunset hues as her scarf. A white metal birdcage stands in the corner. It showed up easily against the softly glowing blue walls reminiscent of the inside of the Celsius. Like Relm's studio there are large windows & a skylight for light, but instead of wooden blinds Rikku's workshop has a substance that was somewhat shiny -like metal or plastic. Each window has a button to mechanically draw the shades up & down. They can even be tilted to let in light in angles when shut.
There is a bed haphazardly made with a sunset comforter positioned in front of the largest picture window.Audio Relm Arrowny's Art Studio: White walls cut from floor to ceiling with large picture windows let in every angle of sunlight from a beautiful view of the side gardens. There is even a skylight in the ceiling. Each window has a natural wooden blind hung at the top to permit the lighting to be changed at a whim. even the skylight has a blind that can be shut by a cord dangling low enough for the 5 foot Relm to reach. The ceiling is dotted with pot lights & lights run across the seem where floor meets ceiling as well. Easels, canvases & paints are set up all around the room. To the right of the door is a tidy collection of supplies in a tall shelf with a stack of what appeared to be finished paintings leaning against it. Most of the paintings on the easels bare pictures of audios in costumes, but some hold familiar hummingbird colors upon them. To the left of the door is a comfortable yet simple futon couch-bed. The coverlet is in Relm's colors with a mix of Arabic & Celtic designs. Over the bed hangs a large painting running the length of the bed & nearly to the ceiling. It is of such detail & clarity that one could almost swear they could put out a hand & step right through it. If it was any larger the audio -a male of hummingbird markings- beneath the sweeping boughs of the tree would be of a size with the original... as it was it gives the impression that the viewer was not quite close enough yet. ANTHROBreedables Relm Arrowny's Art Studio: A lot like Audio Relm's studio but with some changes. White walls lightly decorated with flowering vines cut from floor to ceiling with large picture windows let in every angle of sunlight from a beautiful view of the side gardens. There is even a skylight in the ceiling. Each window has a natural wooden blind hung at the top to permit the lighting to be changed at a whim. Even the skylight has a blind that can be shut by a cord dangling low enough for the 5 foot Relm to reach. The ceiling is dotted with pot lights & lights run across the seem where floor meets ceiling as well. Easels, canvases & paints are set up all around the room. Most are landscapes -forests, mountains. To the right of the door is a tidy collection of supplies in a tall shelf with a stack of what appeared to be finished paintings leaning against it. To the left of the door is a comfortable yet simple futon couch-bed. The coverlet is in Relm's colors with a dash of henna markings interspersed with playing carbuncle.The Weasley Twins' Spell Workshop/Laboratory: Ginny Weasley's Bedroom: Fidelity & Mirage's Room: Nimlaurë's Sanctuary: It is more of a 'suite' than a room. The floor is a soft, mottled, green-gray stone. It is smooth and looking like it was shaped either by magic or years of flowing water. It looks rather like a grotto of stone, as the same stone rises up to form walls & half the ceiling. The far wall is floor to vaulted ceiling with large windows that spill onto each of the adjoining walls & the other half of the ceiling filling the room with light. The floor is streaked with veins of gold & white gold. The walls too are almost naturally decorated with the same precious metals though in greater size & sometimes shifting to a more filigree artistic appearance. There are palates & cushions throughout the grotto of a soft, mossy green situated in both places of sun & shade, perfect for lounging. Heat lamps with dainty shades of gold & white gold reminiscent of Tiffany Lamps Hang over each spot of rest, as well as other locations about the room. The light from these catches in an abundance of mirrors, artistically placed throughout the grotto & framed by the flow of gold & white gold to the wall. Although one can stop to check appearance frequently, the mirrors are so well places & blended into the walls that it does not become haughty. Scattered throughout (especially in front of the wall of windows) there are small, practically hidden flower pots & trays. From them Jasmine & Wisteria grow & spread across the stone structure as well as the glass wall, filling the room with their delicate, sweat scent.
There are two 'alcoves' to this main room of the suite. Both continue the mottled green-gray stone with its gold & white gold accents. The first contains a bubbling indoor hot spring bath that is nearly large enough to be a pool. There is enough room for light swimming but no heavy laps. It is deep enough in the center for someone of average height to stand in & still have their head above the water. All around the sides runs a wide shelf, perfect for laying on while being able to keep one's head on the rim of the bath & out of the water. The second contains a large mattress -king size at least- piled with silk & satin sheets, velvet & down blankets & many soft, large pillows. The bed itself is actually a huge heating pad, and warms everything very gently.
About the magic door:Created by Fred & George Weasley (talaye) & Remus J. Lupin (kitsusagi) with help from Myranda (GaiaCom Witch) A combination of Hogwart's "Room of Requirement", the door from "Howl's Moving Castle" and the properties of both house and door of the good witch Morwen's cottage in "the Enchanted Forest Chronicles" Has the ability to open onto any room that an intelligent creature can think up Multiple rooms can be used by multiple beings at the same time Once a room is created it is extremely difficult to destroy or delete it completely All rooms (and the door itself) have the ability to "stretch" to fit any entrants. Of course, all rooms and doors in the cottage have been be-spelled to work similarly since the creation of the door & it's obvious success To get into a particular room, the one opening the door must think of that room. This can be as simple as "I want to go to my room" to imagining a mental image of the interior of the room in one's mind's eye When looking for someone, it is possible to open the door almost randomly. The door will automatically take the seeker to the first room occupied of those currently occupied. Usually Remus' Library.
