Welcome to Gaia! ::

Issiree slowly circles the sky above the forest. Her eyes scan the ground, silently watching the rise and dip of the ground's elevation, looking for nooks, crannies, caves... anything worthy of living in. Every so often, she'll drop from the sky to investigate a potential spot. But soon she'd be back into the sky looking again.

After several hours of searching off and on, she spots another cave. She drops down and lands near it's entrance. She stands erect and looks about the clearing in front of the cave. It was relatively close to the creek, so there was no worry for water. But it was high enough that it was dry and free of flooding. The clearing was grassy, spacious and well shaded.

She then enters the cave and looks about. The ground was level and it was wide. She measures her pace as she walks to the back wall and determines the the cave must've been about fifty feet deep. There appeared to be a second room off to one side though no others beyond that. There was no water drips or leakage. It appeared perfect.

Izzy nods and smiles, "This will be home then." She takes off her bag and drops it on the floor in the cave and then goes out to the entrance and looks around again. She would need to make some adjustments and gather materials. She had quite a bit of work ahead of her. "Lessee..." she murmurs to herself, "I'll need a hearth, and a fourth wall with a door to block the outdoors." She then sees a few small boulders that would do for her hearth. She walks over and starts trying to push the first of those to the cave.

Some time passes as Izzy relaxes and sighs as she looks at what she's finished doing. "Well... it's solid now..." she mutters as she lays on her side in exhaustion. She yawns widely and then before she can say another word, falls asleep sprawled on the ground where she is.

After perhaps an hour or so of gathering and hauling, Issiree had pulled together what she deemed would be a sufficient amount of wood to make the front face of her new home. Dusk was coming soon and there'd be no way to finish it that evening. So, she spent some more time rearranging the wood into some arrangement that most likely only made sense to her.

After finishing that task she realized that she was hungry and had not eaten in a while. With those thoughts in mind, she set into the air and began circling and looking for prey.

((disturb me at anytime, gang... LOL))

Izzy sees movement near her cave and lands softly nearby. She blinks and then grins widely when she recognizes Demetri. "Oh! Hi!" she says jubilantly as she bounds out of the bushes.

Izzy eeps and then giggles, "Sorry about that. I just got so excited. You're my first visitor." she then blinks in sudden confusion, "Howdja know I live here? I just chose this place earlier today..."

Issiree ohs and then giggles, "I see! Yeah.. it's interesting. There's one other room farther in. I've got my hearth built and I'm gonna create a wooden face to the front here to keep the weather out. I think it's gonna suit me just fine when it's done..." she babbles happily.

Izzy nods happily. "It does. I haven't found any running water or air holes either... so I believe it's rather secure. It's not too far from the river, so getting water won't be hard."

Izzy wanders further in the cave and then digs through her bag that was still sitting the floor. "It looks like I'm going to have to go pick up some supplies..."

((Posting for Pi!))

Pi walks through the forest, examining the plantlife closely. She barely avoids walking straight into Demetri. "Uwah! Oops. Eh-heh, sorry about that."
