Welcome to Gaia! ::

Synopsis:

Many years ago, for some strange and obscure reason, if any, a mansion known as the AZN HQ appeared without sign nor warning.
The mansion was eventually abandoned.

Not too long afterward the disappearance of the AZN HQ, a new mansion, or rather, magnificent castle, was built and came to be known as AF.
This was three years ago.

Ruling that magnificent castle made of fine marbles and decorated with elegant crystal chandeliers and objects of expensive jewels with a self-proclaimed "hime."
But whoever would have thought that the princess would actually be a magician with extraordinary powers, including her control of the Sakura cards?
And unfortunately for future guests and residents to come, this princess magician had a sadistic attitude.

Fast forward to one year later...

One year later, several new...guests arrived, each with their own extraordinary power...

Fast forward....

Eventually, a ninja academy was set up within the kingdom (still ruled by the sadistic princess magician) of which the grand castle was built within), and this academy trained talented ninjas.

Fast forward again.......

An important Council, or now known as the Crew, was set up.

Eventually, the spellcaster Tsukaria (affectionately referred to as "Tiff-chan" by the magician, Sakura) earned her position as the Vice Captain, also her partner in their "merrymaking."

And in their merrymaking, a certain Crew member became a squirrel with moldy cheese hands...

To the present time........

However, strange happenings has been occurring within the castle...
But Sakura's magical prowess saved every day.
And eventually, the villains gave up, knowing that they could not defeat her with such low tricks.

And to celebrate, a new toast shop has been opened.
And Sakura and Chloe-chan (the squirrel) are the chefs...
And the toasts are all burnt...
And everyone is forced to give The Toast Shop business in their fear of Sakura....

So, in their attempts for a better meal, the members of AF all try to help the two hapless toast makers gain some culinary expertise.

This story revolves around the unfortunate souls who are forced to deal with the two and the toast every day....

"Ano, Sakura-chan," Tiff-chan began, leaning on the counter, "are you sure it's safe to keep eating this everyday?"

She took a bite out of the burnt toast, wincing at the bitterness of it.

"Honestly, it'd be nice to have somthing to down this with, or..." she started, but then winced again as she realized how wrong that could go.

'Knowing my luck of giving them ideas, it'll probably be extra sour lemonade,' she mused, taking another bite out of the toast.

'Maybe I should give them a cooking guide or something as an anonymous gift...'

Looking over at Yuritsuki, she sighed. The wonders of the world they live in, for people to willingly, or unwillingly, eat this everyday while wondering whether or not it was truly edible food.

Quickly, Tiff coughed, "Um, no thanks, I'm still eating my first one, see?"

She raised a piece of toast, which happened to be one of their better works, up, showing the two bites she had taken out of it.

(Tsuki-chan, you're not. ^^ All you have to do is read every post before joining, which I'm sure you did.)

Sakura fumed at Tiff-chan's attempted rejection of her fellow squirrel's offered "toast."

How rude! And Chloe-chan was so kind to give her another delicious plate of that lovely toast she makes, too!
Sakura, of course, never tasted Chloe-chan's toast...
And she was clearly in denial about her own cooking talent (or lack of, really).

Angered, Sakura stormed into the kitchen to make more toast (it's her new way of relieving her anger).

In seconds--after a few, er, smoking "BOOMS"--Sakura came out of the once-shiny new kitchen (it's no longer shiny because of all the accidental fires and burning and so forth) with several more plates of toast.

Grinning widely, Sakura announced in jubilee, "Although Tiff-chan here doesn't know the true meaning of eating good toast, I'm sure the rest of you enjoy our toast very much, since you are all regular customers (again, they're really regularly forced customers), I will award your loyalty to The Toast Shop by offering you even more free toast, on the house~<3!! Just make sure to leave a large tip for me, 'kay?" However, her expression quickly became more malicious, "Ooorrrrr I'llll nnnneeeevvvveeerrrrr lllleeeettttt yooooouuuuu ggggeeeetttt aaawwwwaaaayyyyy fffrrrrooooommmm iiiitttt......!!!!!!!!!!"

(I hope this wasn't too wordy!)

"Ah! Hunter-kun!" Chloe exclaimed happily, forgetting about Tiffy-chan's previous rejection of her burnt confections.

Dropping her plate of gut-bombs on Tiffy's table just before it completely slid out of her hands, she started running towards the kitchen.

"I made you a special batch of toast that even you can eat!" she shouted over her shoulder.

Tiff twitched slightly as she stared at the thing in front of her.

'They abandoned me!' She thought after the other two left.

Sighing, she continued eating the burnt slice of toast, wondering how long she'll be left alone with Chloe and Sakura since it didn't seem that she'd be able to leave now, seeing as she was the last one in the Toast Shop.

Still back stepping, Hunter slowly made his way to the middle of the huge hall. As if the race had started, Hunter bolted down the hall with a green suit of armor including, a tail?!

"Must...run...as...far...away...as...possible!" Hunter panted,running-yet-knowing he would not escape the black bricks of Sakura and Clo. At this Hunter was not afraid of Sakura, no no no, it was Chloe.

((That Sakura and Clo. thing is a really bad pun... like Sakura and CO. ...))
