Welcome to Gaia! ::

BRIEFING;

After being used by the Keepers for their own will things have
returned to normal.
Besides the fact that I am now a Keeper myself.
Though I am not one to
hole myself up like the rest.
The Keeper Orland insists that I soon
take Caduca's place but I refuse such an offer.
I would not fare well as
Head Keeper.
My place....is on the city streets.

[NOTES]
Setting is somewhat steampunkish.
meaning there is electricity in richer places and establishments.
And mechanical structures in Hammerite buildings.
Hammerites are basically like hardcore Christians
and worship the Builder God
Pagans are their rivals.
Naturalists that worship the Trickster.
Keepers are those who watch over the city
and interpret prophesies
all in the form of Glyphs
which are really little doodles and designs.
similar to chinese, japanese, or egyptian.

[PLACES]
South Quarter: the poor part of the city. The only fancy thing about it is the Blue Heron Inn on the outskirts of town. This is where Garrett lives, as well as where the general market and blackmarket rest.

Stonemarket: Hammerite territory. Here one will find St. Edgar Church, Fort Ironwood, and the Clock Tower. All Hammerite buildings. Fort Ironwood is also the final resting place for all those passed away, as long as they followed the Builder god.

Old Quarter: The oldest and richest part of the city. Here is the large fancy homes, bars and pubs, as well as the abandoned Shalebridge Cradle. The Cradle is an orphanage turned insane asylum. Nobody know what happened there but now it is abandoned and rumored to be haunted.

The Docks: a staple place for all merchants. Without the Docks, there is no merchandise. But be warned. The docks are also Pagan territory. If you have no business there then you will be in trouble.

Auldale: A different district on the outskirts of town. Mainly a business type community with a few small apartments about establishments.

Weasel

After getting chaced for about a block by an angry person Weasel sat in a door way to eat his wonderful smelling bread, said bread was the reason he had been running. he finished the bread fast, he knew better then to eat something like that slow. if someone was to see, like a guard, they would know it was not his to begin with.

Weasel brushed the crumbs off his shirt and into a pile eating those with a gulp. he headed off towards market. he figured he might be able to get something that was warm. tonight was the first night in acouple days he was actually warm inside from food. but that small bread would not keep his hunger down for long. he could smell something wonderful in the air and followed it.

Weasel

he did not notice the guard his eyes on someone who had just picked up a bag full of what smelt like smoked meat. Weasel could not help but lick his lips and move in to a stall closer to the elderly looking woman. he would wait until she was close, then he would move out bumping into her, he would mumble a sorry and walk off holding the bag he had cut from her belt.

His stomach was rumbling now from the smell he knew if he didn't he would be very hungry that night. his small frame shivered with antisipation.

Weasel

Weasel looked shocked when he was grabbed. he was too scared to move and just looked shocked up at the other. his hands shaking.

Once he had noticed the guard his cheeks went alittle white. he was now full out shaking looking at the man grasping his wrist, not sure why someone would want to be kind enough to stop him.

Weasel

Weasel watched as the man left. he slowly followed still pale and shaky. when he got to the darkened ally he let his eyes get use to it then moved towards the wall leaning against it. he feared his legs where to give out. "W..why d..did you d..do that?" he said his shaking caring over to his voice as he watched the man do what he figured was pick the doors lock.

Weasel

Weasel shivered seeing the glyph, he couldn't remember why he recongnized it. maybe it had been one of the ones he saw in one of the books he had stollen.

"I.. I asked y..you first" he shivered again nibbling on his lip, it made him look like a little child that had been caught doing something he shouldn't.

Weasel

When Weasel heard the guard his hands started to shake more. why must he be such a scaredy cat. he was pulled into the room and he heard the other move to the cash regester.

he blinked looking puzzled at the other his eyes falling on the sleeping man then went to him. he slowly moves towards the counter

"W..why are you stealing when he is right there? and I do n..not know why you would save me from that. most would c..call that a token.. f..for me to owe them for saving my life..."

He went alittle red and shivered thinking of what others had done when they 'saved' his life. he looks at the stranger falling silent. he felt safe around the other and was not sure why.

He looked at some of the stuff the other had placed on the counter and seemed in awe of them, Weasel had never managed to steal anything that beautiful.

Weasel

when Perry moved Weasel jumped and moved closer to the counter looking at Garrett his eyes sparkling in the candle light. in direct light like this his oddly green eyes where visible. they seemed almost painted.

he slowly stopped shivering and looked at the objects on the table "they always have a reason.. or a.. p..payment" he swollowed and put his hands into his pockets "They always do when they s...save me" although he didn't look it the Boy called Weasel was far from dumb as he did seem.

his nerves made him seem like he was not fully there but unlike the others that ran the streets weasel had learned to read a couple years ago and if he hadn't been born to an unmarried woman he would probably be in school.

There was one object that the other had set out that caught his attention and he reached out turning it over on the counter "Power.." he said softly reading out what had been writen there. he turned it back over looking at the small ruin that was drawn onto it "Power" he repeated then dropped his hand, he realized he was touching the others treasure and that normally got a very painful beating. he took a step back shivering his eyes returning to the others.
