Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Whoa." A pause, and a blink. "That's a big cat," Wyvern said, stating the obvious and giving the red feline the once over. She blinked again and shook her head with a small laugh. Rolling from her vertical position, dangling in the netting of a hammock, she heaved herself to her feet with a sigh. Deliberate steps led her closer to the beast.

Should she be worried? Nah. Despite the creature suddenly showing up on her porch, she wasn't bothered. There was a meaning to it, she could tell. The rolled up wad of paper clutched between its' fangs also helped her to reach that conclusion.

Abruptly, she stopped and squatted, thrusting out her hand. "Well, you've a ntoe, don'cha? What'sa matter? Timmy fall down the well again?"

"Breath mint, my long-fanged friend," she said, mostly to herself, but loud enough that she new N'rris could hear. "Breath mint." The desire to run her fingers through that luxurious crimson fur was there, but hey, he didn't seem like the cuddley type, she noted idly, catching him scoot away after dispensing his message.

With a slight grimace- Ugh, mouth juices, and foul scented ones at that- she unrolled the moistened note with cautious hands and began to read.

"Huh." Bronze eyes narrowed as she re-read the note. She stared at the page, as if expecting it to burst into flame or something else equally unlikely, but necessarily dramatic. Rolling the note back up, she stuffed it absent mindedly into a pocket. Wyvern's eyes gleamed and her lips quirked up into the barest of grins. "Neat," she exhaled and bolted upright.

"You," she pointed at the feline messenger, "wait right there," the Gaian finished, vanishing indoors. She re-appeared with a bang, courtesy of the door slamming shut behind her.

She looked N'rris right in the eyes and said, "Right. Take me to your leader."

"Oy," she repremanded the cat-beast midly. "No need to get huffy." but N'rris had already gone, slipping away. "Huh, cats. Go Fig." With that cheerful resolution, she made her way through the clearing.

"Yo, Quinn!" Wyvern greeted, spotting her friend, her face breaking out into a broad grin. "Hope I didn't keep ya waitin'. Wanted to come prepared and all." The green-haired woman patted her shoulder sack for emphasis.

Still grinning, she asked, "Now, whats this I hear about a quest most sacred?"

Wyv grinned, unable to stop the infectious cheer of Quinny's excitement. "Linking books, huh? I've heard of stargates, nexus points, and the like, but never a linking book." She practically beamed at the palpable joy of such a discovery. "Neat," she pronounced, her highest award of praise.

"Oceania, huh? Sounds... wet." The girl grinned. Having been born and curerntly claiming residence on an island gave her an unfathomable love of the sea and all things watery.

"N'rris, eh? He's..." she fumbled for an appropriate word, as she cast a glance around for the absent guide. "... very toothy," she finished with a sage nod and an upward quirk of the lips.

(( Rawr. Gotta bail for the night. >< I'll catch up as soon as I can. ))

"First aid, I got me some of that.. um... hang on..." Sosiqui rummaged through some of the remaining piles of stuff. "Well. Er. I should clean this up.... um... here, why don't you guys go ahead? If you stick near Quinny, you'll be fine, since she has a Myst linking book too..."

Sosiqui fumbled for the Oceania linking book and propped it on a stump, open to the first page so that the linking panel was easy to reach and touch. "I'll join you guys in a bit. Oof. Check and see if Atrus left us any messages or something! Good luck!"


((OOC: Too sick to RP properly. XD;; And going offline from tomorrow until June 1st, so I'll do catch-up later on. Go look at the journal first, and after that, er... confer among yourselves and do whatever the group decides. I leave it in your capable hands. Have fuuuun~~))

Despite the fact that she should probably wait until a person with a Myst linking book should go in first, Kel-chan couldn't help herself. Scooping up Teal'c in one hand (it was handy he was so small) she eagerly reached out. The whirling image was so beautiful.... as she placed a hand squarely on it she gasped. The world was falling away; her vision went fuzzing at the edges and she opened her mouth to scream...

((=> TO OCEANIA!!))

Quinn stared in disbelief at the gall of her two traveling companions. It was like Winter's words hadn't even reached their ears. Everyone was supposed to work together and listen to her and Sosi and here these two go off, on there own, without a way back.

Sighing in a huff, Quinn checked her supplies and the supplies in Zane's saddlebags, rearranging a few of his items to include the first aid kit and the netting that Winter cautioned them to bring. Then, motioning Wyv over to her, she opened her book to Oceania.

Indicating that N'rris should be first, he was acting as their guardian after all, she watched as the crimson feline touched the panel with his nose and disipated in a mote of glitter. Smiling, Quinn ushered Wyvern over to the book and watched as she too disappeared. Then, Quinn held the book out for Zane before taking it over and hiding it in the bole of a hollowed out tree for safe keeping.

With one last deep breath and a reminder to herself to chastise the others, Quinn touched the panel and was gone.
