Welcome to Gaia! ::

Falchior started setting up first. Although there were still few Sentinels about, the party atmosphere was already beginning to lighten the mood, and the gatherer hummed to himself as he set out his wares, carefully positioning the many mushrooms he'd gathered. Rokku watched him with dark, inquisitive eyes. The reptile was lounging languidly a few branches over, idly flicking his tongue and waiting for Falchior to toss him a treat. The Sentinel, however, was ignoring his companion's behavior as he arranged and re-arranged his mushrooms. Would they look best in a spiral pattern? Arranged by shape? By size? Pfft. Who was he kidding? They'd be best arranged in rows and separated by color so that it was easy to tell the various varieties from each other. Keep the flavors separate, and that way nobody's gonna be upset. Yes, that was the way to do it. The big Mist fluffed himself once, then smoothed himself down. He was really quite nervous; while he wasn't the same withdrawn, stuttering ball of feathery awkward he'd been a few seasons ago, he certainly wasn't Mister Social Graces yet.

So many Sentinels gathered together in one place could have made anyone a little uncomfortable. Mulberry, however, felt like a Skurri in the Matron's storeroom. So many to talk to, so many new friends to be made, and so many contacts to cultivate.

Between answering questions and greeting the judges and stalking Mus Keepers that she had met before, as well as letting herself be distracted, now and again, by a handsome face or a delightful conversation, Mulberry had built up quite an appetite.

Therefore, she was currently gravitating towards where the Gatherers and Hunters had started setting up shop, hoping to find some stall that was already open. If she happened to find someone that was interesting to talk to as well... all the better!

Through the milling crowd, she caught a glimpse of some very tasty-looking mushrooms, and though she was currently in need of something a little bit more sustaining, she figured that mushrooms was as good a place to start as any.
