Welcome to Gaia! ::

Making his way through the forest's thick, bushy exterior, Vivi found himself staring down a beast of sorts. something was differnt though, something not quite right about it. "EGADS!!! i can see through it! is it a shadow demon?" The beast lunged at him, tearing at his right arm. "FUUUUUUUU!" He pulled out the Ayurvir Red and slashed at its transperant throat, silencing it for good. "what the hell happened to this place?" He found his way to a clearing, where he observed an almost desolete town.

He made his way down into the town. "its even more quiet here than from where i was before!" He exclaimed. He walked softly and carried one dagger out, and his staff in the other hand. "hmmm....a pub eh?" He pushed the doors open, noticing the sun was setting, he slammed the door almost all the way shut behind him.

He shouts. "Hello!!!!!!? Carnby, where are you!!!? WHERE ARE YOU ALL??!!" he waits, and yet after several minutes gives up. "damnit where is everyone??" He walked to the second floor and began to search for signs of any life, past or present, it mattered not. "scre it! LIGHT!!" He shouted and began to draw symbols in the air, creating a light orb spell, bright enough to light the rooms.

Miyo sniffed as she wandered outside in the dusty abandoned town. She had heard that this place was home to only dust bunnies now and thought that there might be some metal scraps left somewhere that she could take since she was starting to run low on bronze and iron back at her shop. She was also too lazy and cheap to order some more with her own money, so here she was in this bacteria infested ghost town risking her health and her life just by breathing in the contaminated pollution this town would consider air.

Swinging a huge brass pendulum lazily about she made her way through alleys and streets picking up a few items to put in the knapsack she carried on her back. So far nothing of real worth had come along but then she spotted the town's tavern. Keg's of ale usually had metal rings around them right? She couldn't hope for iron since they rusted fairly easily but maybe they would be steel, and that was even better then iron or bronze. She had a good amount of steel stocked back home, but one can never have enough steel can they?

So heading over to it she pushed open the door to be met with a blinding light...

Miyo merely coughed and shrank against the door frame as she heard a voice. "Is that you God?" her voice blared from her speaker and she tried to look up but her eyes still were not rady to adjust to the light, "Ah! It burns! Who's there?!"

Miyo slowly stood up but didn't bother to brush herself off. Looking at the stranger she shrugged, "I'm not a vampire if that's what you're thinking. It's just where I come from, I normally don't go outside in the daytime if i can help it. I stay in a basement underneath my shop, working on my machines." The girl wasn't sure if the man was going to mean trouble or not, but his eccentric behavior only amused her. "If you're not God...then who are you? Jesus?"

"Name's Miyo," the girl shrugged, "And the town was like this when I got here, emptier then an oil can used to grease the tin man." Looking around she spotte two kegs lying desolately on the floor. With a grin she walked over to them and inspected the rungs holding the wood together, "And I'm a mechanic. I came here to look for some scrap metal so I wouldn't have to go buy it myself. People need to make a living ya know?" Stroking the metal with a finger the metal wriggled and shifted until it pulled itself free, like a snake reacting to a snake charmer. "Ah!" Miyo declared with a triumphant grin, "It is steel!"
