Welcome to Gaia! ::

Moonstride, resting from a previous mission, had been dozing lightly in the shadows of a nearby branch a several stretches away from where Kesan made his landing. Her Lani was as alert as ever and perked its little head at the sound of another sentinel. It was good to have the little critter around to keep his eye out during moments like these.

However, Rave had a tendency to be overly protective of the space within several yards around Moonstride. At the appearance of Kesan, the lani screeched, darting off, and making a wide circle around the other sentinel.

Moon opened a lazy blue eye to the bird and frowned. With a strong beat of the wing and a push from the legs, she drifted up to the pine branch and landed a branch away. "Rave, quiet. My apologies, he's much too full of himself at the moment." Rave screeched again making Moonstride shoot a glare at the bird.

Jester was practicing, if one can call the caterwauling practice. Loudly squawking out the notes to a song he had recently written.

"Whyyy, does the Moooon faaalllll" Jester bellowed as his feet made a sorry attempt to follow in time to the horrendous sound. As per usual his feet betrayed him, causing him to stumble and fall from the large branch he was perched on.

Tumbling downward flailing wildly in vain attempts to stop his fall. Landing with a crunch and a thud in a bramble of branches of the pine tree that seemed to be already occupied.

"Erm..." Jester tried to giggle off his fall to the two other Sentinels he had just fallen in front of. "Nice night eh?" Jester gulped loudly.

"Ah, well then..." Jester smiled as gathered himself up as gracefully as he could and perched on the brambles.

"Please forgive my sudden... intrusion on your conversation." Jester apologized to the Sentinel who's companion was eying him, making him ever so slightly nervous.
Bucking up slightly, and turning to face the piercing blue eyed female Jester introduced himself.

"I am called Jester. And you are called?"

What was that? What was that? He did believe he heard some sort of song or poetry. It was definitely a work of art if he heard one! With a sudden silent swoop, another sentinel appeared on the seen, alighting upon a branch above the others and craning his neck down to peer at them curiously. "Did I hear a kindred spirit? A fellow Bard perhaps?" The black, white, and red, Sentinel bobbed his head, "I do so love to meet others of the same interests as myself." With a twitter, a little Parus of his same coloration also joined NightSong on his perch. The little bird fluffing up his feathers and singing a random chorus into the air. "Oh yes, I do so agree!" Night said while turning his gaze to his little companion.

Highfog heard from afar some kind of badly sung ode. Constructive criticisms and less constructive opinions popped in her mind. Where was this bad singer? Her feet left an oak branch, and silently, she glided in direction of the noise. To her surprise, the place was already crowded with unknown Sentinels. Her flight stopped besides Nightsong, and she laid an eye on the birds under. "Are you all critics in training?", she asked out loud, obviously joking.

"Rokku...Rokku!" Jester liked the way the Waral's name sounded. Suddenly moved to a tune, he began to sing. "ROoookkuuuu....Ku-ku....Rooookku-ku" The caterwauling from before continued, but in much closer proximity to the group of Sentinels.

Amidst his song Jester heard a new voice, as it landed next to the other Bard in the group. Upon hearing the word 'critic' Jester's beak snapped shut, slightly embarrassed by his off key tune. For a moment he thought to himself, 'At least my feet kept still.'

Clearing his throat slightly in vain attempts to mask the fact that he was just indeed caterwauling his heart out, "I am called Jester. You and you are?" He asked of the new Sentinel, then realizing he knew only the name of the other Sentinels companion. He turned back to Rokku. "What is your companion's name little Rokku?"

"You're right, I haven't introduced myself yet", admited the teacher. "My name is Highfog", she said with a friendlier tone. The next second however, she grinned again and leant over so she could see the crowd better: "I have noticed you were entertainers. I believe you're singers too?"
