Welcome to Gaia! ::

Niah whimpered. She tried to open her eyes and cried, "Great! Now I'm blind because of you!" she felt the air moving extremely fast and she was so scared. It was even worse not knowing when she would hit. At anytime she could go SPLAT and have no idea her death was only mometns aways. "I hate you all!" she screamed. "I will haunt you. I don't know how...but I will!"

Nailah suddenly felt light as a feather. She floated slowly down heading towards the ground. But strangely the fear was gone. She was calm and collected the terror of only mometns ago had faded. She refused to say anything but simply floated slowly towards the ground. She finally touched the ground and felt the blades of grass in her hands as she landed on her back. Immediately she sprang up on her knees and blinked rapidly. She felt very lightheaded and then she fell forward her body going limp and her mind reentering the blackness that had always claimed her before.

((niah exit...need sleep))

Sitting on the edge of the hotspring, Nelphean relaxed and felt the warmth of the spring. His gear was neatly pilled nearby, and his bandages were tightened.

Niah screamed and sat up in bed. She looked around and realized she was in Alex's room. "I'm alive." she said to herself. Rasui was curled up in a ball at her feet and Alex was sleeping soundly beside her. She reached over and brushed the hair out of his eyes then climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. The warm water cascaded down over her easing her tense muscles and finally making her feel just right. She sighed with pleasure and rubbed the scented oils into her skin after drying off. Then she walked over to the closet she shared with Alex and opened it. Biting her lip she looked at hte only other outfit she had right now...the black dress. It had a lower neckline than she normally wore but there really wasn't any alternative. She pulled the dress out adn slipped the soft silk over her head and pulled up the straps. Then she brushed her hair in some semblance of neatness and opened the door. Her stomach was growling so she made her way to the kitchen.

Stumbling out of the kitchen, Calcryx finished an apple, a poor choice by his standards but he felt like eating something less than perfect. So distracted while chewing up the remnants of its core, he nearly smashed face first into Nailah but stopped and did a small hop-backstep to put a proper distance between them so as to avoid further risk of collision. "Morning Nialah. Sleep well?"

Laughing, Nelphean walked towards the voice of Nailah, his eyes wrapped by white cloth, and his hands as well. "Good morning, Monolith tells me that the sky is wonderfully blue today." He smiled, sensing the tension in the unappropreatly dressed Nailah's form.

"My nose is twitching, is someone shy today?"

"Well I have to admit the being thrown about like I'm some kind of toy was not fun but the end wasn't bad. I just wish you had done it sooner. It was very peaceful to drift slowly to the ground though. Unfortunately my system was in too much shock and I couldn't handle it very well. Everything was too fast. I swear I almost had a heart attack up there at one point." She looked at Nelphean and said "The sky is a beautiful blue and the sun is shining. Now I'm starving so I'm going to get something to eat. I see you've already been Calcryx. Care to join me Nelphean and Monolith?" Niah was glad Calcryx had asked the question. She wanted to but wasn't sure if she should or not. She looked at Nelphean and waited for his answer.

"No no, Im quite full. Things'd be a bit different in my natural form, but this saves on food bills. Nel, to be honest, I havent seen so much fun as you just described in centuries. Things are always to slow in this world, but im not so stupid as to go fiddling with planar boundries. If anyone needs me, Im going to be in the courtyard, trying to figure out how to hook up a portal." Waving farewell beind him, Calcryx paced off down the hall, swallowing the rest of his second apple whole.
