Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sushi... I think we're inside the Cafe... There is no wind. UNLESS I'VE BEEN TRICKED.))

"Should we put on our Everest clothes now?" Leichi asked, repeating her question.

"I wouldn't call going Mount Everest and finding a small stone 'hassle free,'" Pez said pessimistically, replying to what Creme had said.

"It's the tallest mountain in the world with temperatures way below zero. And we could all die if we meet a bad enough blizzard," Shiru stated in response to what Emi had asked. "Also, the air can get so thin that it could cause your brain to explode, depending on the person."

((And I'm confused as to why people are wearing such summery clothes. AREN'T WE GOING TO MOUNT EVEREST?!))

((If we're flying on Crysta, wouldn't you still want to dress warmly? I mean, you'll be flying pretty fast, and if the wind is whipping around... Also, no one wants to change in freezing temperatures. Okay, so I'm not sure what the temperature is at the base of MEverst is, but it can't be thirty degrees centigrade.

Edit; SHAMELESS ADVERTISING TIME. Check out the fanworks forum for a little piece of fanart I did of us.))

Cinna and Basil switched to their alien forms, and they pulled their backpacks on. Neither of them really noticed that their outfits wouldn't be particularly suitable for the cold (they were their normal alien form outfits), nor were they concerned about a lack of oxygen. As aliens, they were unaffected by a lack of oxygen, and were less affected by the cold. Each of them did have a warm sweatshirt, however, and packed extra oxygen tanks just in case anyone else needed them.

"Well, I'll see ya, Brownie-chan," Ruby said, zipping up her black fleece jacket with some kind of red design on it that looked similar to clouds. The rest of her outfit consisted of a pair of dark gray sweatpants, sneakers, and a shirt underneath the fleece. Like Cinna and Basil, she had packed lots of extra oxygen, but also some other elements necessary for starting fires (for example, firewood...), only because it would be nice to have a campfire at the top of the mountain.

Kisshu sat in a tree, staring at Crysta. "I know Cinna's going on this... and I know Basil and Ruby, but I'm not too sure about following them..." he muttered to himself, "after all, who knows what these Mythics can do? Would they know I'm there?" This was unusual panicking from Kisshu, but it was all undoubtedly spurred on from worry about Cinna.

((Pai could in theory follow them too... since all that they'll really be doing in this plot is climbing to somewhere on the mountain (no one ever said it was to the TOP...) and finding the stone. We'll need some action... and yes, I know that Kisshu is following them too, but that's not the point.))

"Meh, Ryou will lock it up. Anyway, there are people staying behind, Like Kiichigo and Sekkai, so that if we're gone for more than a day, which we most likely will be, they can keep the cafe open" Kira said. ((Yes, I dun feel like including Kiichigo and Sekkai. Deal with it)) She walked out, and around the cafe to were Crysta was, standing on the ground sort of low so that everyone could get on.

Alex went out as well.

((I think I'm going to need to go find Cinna and Bug her telling her that you're online... Because she made somethin' that she wants to show you XD))

"Okay everyone, I'm sorry if this will end up being a little bit... Off balance, but this is my first time ever accually carrying people, soo..." Crysta Thought-Said (She can't speek, she channels her thoughts, even though she's hatched >.<) to everyone that was going (Even Cinna and Basil even though it wasn't really neccesary).

"It's alright. Okay, let's get on now, so that once everyone gets out we can get going as soon as possible" Alex said, then mounting herself in what would most likely be the position that was closest to the front. Kira went more in the middle.

"N-no, of course not!" Kisshu stammered indignantly, perking up a little. "I'm just wondering why exactly they plan on going to mount Everest... it's the highest mountain on this dumb planet, right?

Cinna and Basil teleported Ruby outside. "You need to start talking to the others, squire," Basil commented as they walked underneath the tree that Kisshu happened to be sitting in, "otherwise, you'll never fit in."

"Whoever said I wanted to fit in?" Ruby asked angrily, "whoever said I wanted to be a mew in the first place? You guys and Brownie-chan are cool and all, but I'm a treasure hunter, not a superhero."

"Apparently, you're both now, hon," Kisshu called from in the tree. He sounded oddly like a southern teenage girl. "From what Brownie told me, you're hunting for a stupid stone. That's treasure hunting, right?"

"I guess so..."

"My name is Ruby Mindelan, supposedly some Mythic Mew who controls fire or whatever. You can call me squire if you want, since everyone else does," Ruby replied. "Unlike the other mews, I talk to Kisshu on a regular basis. And you won't likely have to worry about me fighting you all ever. I don't care much for fighting aliens who aren't really that evil."

"We are too evil," Kisshu commented snottily, sticking his nose in the air. "Brownie especially - she's brilliant at evil schemes. You do realize that she's not aligned with the mews at all, right?"

"Yes she is," Cinna said, whacking Kisshu on the head with a conveniently placed branch (they were in a tree, after all...), "She's the doublest of double agents. She is exactly half and half in alignment. She suits both sides' needs with such perfection that it is impossible to say which side she's really rooting for."

"Then how do you know she's on your side?" Kisshu replied, cocking an eyebrow, being SMART for once.

"Because I said so."

"Suuuure he does!~" Kisshu nearly sang, "Whenever he's got a calculator in his hands, or memorizing more digits of Pi, how is he evil then?"

"You've got a point..." Basil muttered.

"Really? Where?" Kisshu asked, frantically looking about him.

"Why is my father such an idiot...?" Cinna asked the air. Ruby shrugged.
