You find yourself entering a large, brightly
lit room. The walls are all a light shade of blue sponged
over with white paint, creating a sky-like theme, and the
carpet's a velvet plush of silver. Instead of a ceiling,
a dome of glass arches over the room, like a giant
window, enabling you to see the real sky outside.
In random places you can see a perch, and scattered
across the floor are large pillows, beanies, plushies,
and any other kind of toy. Not to mention feathers. Just
about everything in the room is covered with atleast one
small, soft feather, of any color. Across the room stand
4 doors, each with a sign on, but you're too far away
from them to read clearly.
"maybe this is an aviary.." you say outloud to yourself.
"No, but close. This is Honachiih Aerie."
You blink and turn around. Standing behind you, or was,
anyway, is a young girl of about 15 with dark red hair
and green eyes. Around her forehead is a
multicolored-band with a little diamond-shaped pendant,
and she's wearing a teal shirt and purple shorts. If you
peered somewhat closely, you notice that her band tips
are dyed purple, and that half her hair's in a braid and
covered in tiny feathers. She grins.
"Hi! I'm Dyana; I take care of the minisaizu gryphs here."
You stare at her with a blank look on your face. She
blinks, then realization dawns on her and smirks.
"That's right...you're a traveler, you don't know what they are!"
She goes into a giggling fit. Frankly, you don't see
what's so funny over not knowing what the miniasu, or
whatever gryphs are.
"Minisaizu gryphs, or m gryphs, are kinda the furred
alternative to the common flit. They're really cute, and
they love to get attention and cuddle, as you can kinda see."
She motions to the feathers covering her hair and various
parts of her clothes.
"You can get them over at the
Center
, but in order to, you
must
a member to either
the
Market
or the
Eastern Isle Marketplace
, or else you won't be able to buy one."
You nod some, and she grins again.
"Hey, that wasn't so hard. Maybe you travelers aren't so
ignorant after all."
You find yourself face-faulting at that remark. She
sweatdrops, and quickly chances the subject.
"Eerr...hmm..I needa go...but feel free to look around!
The four doors over there lead to the rooms where the
gryphs occupate when they aren't here playing. See ya!"
And she walks off, leaving a small trail of feathers from
where gravity has taken its toll and the feathers drop
from her person, leaving you alone to decide what to do.
