Welcome to Gaia! ::

Our humble establishment has been open since the summer of 2007. Chika Saito is a 2 story building that houses a plethora of human and non-human beings and contains many memories. The overall atmosphere of the building is of a modern Japanese home. We hope to keep this thread running for many years to come. Here is a brief description of the inside of the building. If you wish to know the history of this thread, please visit our old thread. [link]
