[center][h1][i][color=slategray]Cirrus[/color] and [color=lightgreen]Erissa[/color][/i][/h1][img]http://i.imgur.com/od1AJK7.jpg?1[/img][img]http://columbineandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/divider.png[/img][/center] Cirrus looked at the people in the park. It was a mix of the elderly, taking in the sun and sharing fond memories with each other, and the young who were mostly chatting amongst themselves. While most didn't really appeal to the gray one, there were definitely some interesting people there. Erissa, on the other hand, was looking around excitedly. She pointed to several of them as if she was merely shopping for clothes. [color=lightgreen]"That pink haired one... that boy who seems interested in her... oooh, definitely that angry looking redhead..."[/color] Golden dust promptly flew towards where he looked, Erissa having blown them towards the three people she chose. The dark fairy followed the direction the dust flew towards. A pink haired girl, her hand making elegant strokes on paper, sat a few feet away from them. Her artwork grew with every stroke she made. Faeries always found artists quite intriguing, therefore, Erissa pointing to the girl wasn't at all surprising. With an imginative mind, she would, no doubt, make a fine guest. Next to her stood a dark haired boy that had smiled kindly towards the fairies' general direction and then to several girls earlier. What made him interesting was that while he maintained a fairly sociable facade, there was something that brewed just beneath his surface. [color=slategray][i]Interesting,[/i][/color] he thought idly, his gray eyes drinking in the scene unfolding before them. The boy he had been studying leaned forward and pecked the artist's cheek. Erissa giggled in excitement. [color=lightgreen]"Can you just imagine it all, Cirrus?"[/color] she clapped her hands delightedly, much like how a child who had received a new toy would. [color=lightgreen]"Attraction is important in this little game of ours. And I see plenty there. Now, who else...?"[/color] While the female fairy turned her attention to the other people in the park, Cirrus took the time to study her third choice--a red head that gave off an angry aura. Her cheek showcased a scar that probably spoke of a violent past. [color=slategray][i]Violence adds a bit of spice to everything nice,[/i][/color] he thought, automatically agreeing to adding her to their growing list. Erissa turned her head and her emerald eyes landed on a strikingly pale woman. She was well dressed with her eyes concealed from the world... why she would choose to block her vision with dark lenses was beyond the fairy's understanding. She listened to the pale woman's heels as it clicked on the concrete floor. [color=lightgreen]"Hmmm..."[/color] Erissa flew over to her and hovered a few inches above the woman's shoulder. She leaned forward and took a whiff of her scent. [color=lightgreen]"Hmm... hmm... looks and smells interesting enough,"[/color] the tiny fairy commented as she sprinkled gold dust onto the woman's white hair. After which, she flew back to the tree branch Cirrus was sitting on. [color=lightgreen]"Have you not chosen anyone yet, Cirrus?"[/color] she demanded, her hands on her hips. [color=slategray]"Of course I have."[/color] He nodded towards two men who had apparently collided with each other. [color=lightgreen]"Well, that's an interesting choice of clothes. Is this how he attracts human? Oh my, is he...wet?"[/color] Erissa's eyes twinkled mischievously. They lingered on Tachi for a few minutes before they automatically shifted towards the other. Her eyes lit up a bit more and she clapped her hands together again. [color=lightgreen]"And someone with a secret and a particular longing. Yes, yes, I agree to these two,"[/color] Black glitter dust automatically flew towards the men, sprinkling on their heads. [color=lightgreen]"Who else? Who else?"[/color] she asked excitedly. Her eyes fell on a woman across the street, sitting inside a cafe by the window, drinking an aromatic drink humans were so fond of drinking. She nudged the other fairy. [color=lightgreen]"That one?"[/color] she asked. At Erissa's question, both fairies disappeared and appeared hovering near their unsuspecting target. [color=slategray]"Rich, pretty, stubborn, arrogant... this one has spunk and the brains to back it up. She will be a good addition,"[/color] he said in his deep, haunting voice. With one hand, he sprinkled dark dust on Caterina's head. Erissa watched silently, an excited smile ever present on her lips. As soon as they finished marking their guest, both fairies reappeared on their tree. [color=slategray]"I'm afraid, however, that we have ran out of interesting individuals. It would be terribly boring to bring only a handful into Cladarat. Would you like to invite the people you have---"[/color] he was cut short by a sudden outburst from the pink haired artist. His head automatically turned towards the commotion and he stared. Erissa's giggle contrasted greatly with Cirrus' blunt affect. [color=lightgreen]"Simply riveting. I look forward to getting to know them a tad bit more... Now, I agree that we need a few more guests to fill our list... And I have just the right people in mind."[/color] She gestured towards the people they had chosen so far. [color=lightgreen]"Make sure they are all well taken care of during their journey..."[/color] She placed her hand on her hips and wagged a finger at the dark fairy. [color=lightgreen]"No shadows and eerie voices this time around please? I don't want to end up trying to placate angry notions and calm agitated hearts."[/color] Cirrus merely stared blankly at Erissa. [color=lightgreen]"I'm serious!"[/color] the light fairy stomped her tiny feet to emphasize her point. When Cirrus refused to acknowledge her, she merely shrugged and twirled around, disappearing in a puff of golden glitters. [color=lightgreen]"I'll be back in a blink of an eye,"[/color] her cheery voice echoed. [center][img]http://columbineandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/divider.png[/img][/center] Erissa's first stop was a library. She appeared in a shower of glitters accompanied by a pleasant smell of wild berries. She looked around, expecting to see books. But what met her eyes was a concrete parking lot. [color=lightgreen]"Hmm? Why am I outside?"[/color] she blinked in confusion. But as soon as her eyes landed on her intended target, the smile returned to her lips. A purple haired girl that had a slightly heavier frame than the people already on their guest list was standing in the parking lot. The fairy couldn't quite remember where she first saw the human but she remembered what it was about her that made her a favorite. She smelled like books - musky, nutty and with a hint of vanilla. The vibrant color of her hair also made her easy to remember. She darted towards her, eager to shower her with fairy dust. But her target was talking with a strangely dressed male. The fairy looked him over. Unwanted, ignored and probably misunderstood. Her small wings carried her over to the two, small hands dusting Caity's hair with golden dust. [color=lightgreen]"You will love it in Cladarat!"[/color] she whispered excitedly before turning to the male...Tarly. Erissa's hand paused just above his head. She hesitated for a few seconds before she sprinkled the glitter sand in his head too. And then, content with her handiwork, she turned away and was just about to head on over to her next destination when a hooded figure in a corner table caught her attention. Erissa flitted towards the hooded form, curious as to why the person was taking a lot of effort to keep his face hidden. She watched him remove his dark lenses, the same kind the pale woman had on. Blue green eyes. [color=lightgreen][i]How marvelous,[/i][/color] The fairy peered at the face hidden beneath the shadow of the hood and a knowing smile touched her lips. Underneath the hood was a very attractive male face. It was the same face that was displayed on the cover of the magazine he was reading, the name Nico Jensen was printed in large bold letters underneath it. [color=lightgreen]"Hello there handsome. You're pretty low key for someone so famous. I think you'll make a fine guest on our list,"[/color] the fairy giggled, dusting Nico the same way she did Caity. Erissa looked around in the hopes of finding someone else worth inviting. She flitted here and there, peering at faces. [color=Lightgreen]"No... no... no..."[/color] she said in a singsong voice. [color=lightgreen]"No... Oh! Hold the door for me please~"[/color] she exclaimed as if the humans could hear her. She giggled to herself as she zoomed past a human and out of the door. The sunlight was nice and it warmed her wings. She stretched them and decided to look around town a bit before she visited another human she was interested in. She counted how many guests they have so far, strangely knowing their names. [color=lightgreen]"Tabitha, Kieran, Alexis, Cori, Tachi, Gordon, Caterina... and here... Caity, Tarly and Nico. Ten... that still doesn't sound so fun yet. Hmmm...maybe two more? Where should I--- Eek!"[/color] she exclaimed when she found herself face to nose with a human male. If she hadn't been able to stop herself before she collided, she most probably would have given the man a fit of sneezing. She did it accidentally before and she was glad she was able to stop herself, this time around. She slowly backed away, heart thumping and wings trembling. The silver haired young man stood by the sidewalk in a dress suit, his cellphone pressed against his ear. [color=a0410d]"Mother.......I cant get married. Marriage is........just wrong."[/color] Erissa perked up and she raised an eyebrow. [color=lightgreen]"Well, you seem to be a fit candidate to step into our little game..."[/color] Regaining her composure, the small fairy flitted around Maine, sizing him up. An elitist by the way he carried himself. She sniffed the air around him. A faint scent of a female's perfume was on him. A wide grin made its way on the light fairy's lips. [color=lightgreen]"Well, a playboy, are we? You'd be a nice addition to our collection,"[/color] She blew golden dust on him. [color=lightgreen]"I'll see you soon, pretty boy~"[/color] she called out as she, once again disappeared in a glittery cloud. Her next destination proved to be disappointing. A small three story building amidst several taller structures used to house a small family that had adorable twins, a girl and a boy. But when she got there, she found the house empty, the small family having sold their home to the next door building, a law firm. To make matters worst, the weather was cold. Something that would delight Cirrus but definitely annoy the light fairy. Erissa sighed as she rubbed her hands together. [color=lightgreen]"Eleven... that won't do. I guess I'll have to look for someone else..."[/color] she muttered but immediately perked up when she noticed a tan, beautiful black haired girl. She darted towards her, all thoughts about the cold weather gone from her mind. She landed on the woman's shoulder and sighed contentedly when the heater melted the coldness from her wings. As soon as she had defrosted herself enough, she took to the air again and began examining the room that they were in. Sadly, it was devoid of vibrant colors Erissa was so fond of. The fairy found herself getting restless. [color=lightgreen]"Must be terribly sad to be staying in such a drab place all the time. Would you like to come with me to see Cladarat?"[/color] she conversed with Mika as though the woman could hear her, much less answer her. [color=lightgreen]"But of course you do. No one turns down a chance to see the fairy world,"[/color] she answered her own question, giggled and then dusted Mika's hair with her golden glitters. [color=lightgreen]"Our guest list is complete!"[/color] Erissa announced proudly as she reappeared next to Cirrus on the tree branch at the park. The dark fairy was sitting on the branch, looking as if being there bored him out of his mind. At the light fairy's words, he nodded. [color=slategray]"Then let us return to Cladarat,"[/color] he said as he stood up and disappeared in a shower of dark glitters. [hider=OOC] [@dabombjk] [@blackpanther] [@caits] [@light the dark] [@kaalee] [@kidd] [@neno 1445] [@ashevelendar] [@mae] Fairy dust are not visible to any of you. Fairy voices are similarly inaudible as well. As soon as Erissa rejoins Cirrus, all dusted individuals will be teleported to Cladarat, the fairy world. The people around your characters would vaguely notice your character suddenly disappearing. Feel free to describe your character's transition to the other world. All characters will find themselves inside a fairy circle when they get their bearings back...

Small winged figures flitted here and there, sunlight bouncing off their gossamer wings, making them glow a myriad of colors. Soft giggles and small singsong voices filled the air with excitement. [color=tan]"Have they arrived? Have they really arrived?"[/color] several small voices asked all at the same time. One by one, the glowing fairies flocked towards the still disoriented humans. Curious green, golden, violet, blue and red eyes peered at each guest. A fairy with long wavy brown hair, blue eyes and blue butterfly wings fluttered towards the group, a golden trumpet in her hands. She was larger than all of the fairies there but was still a lot smaller than the average human. At her arrival, the smaller fairies fell silent. She studied each human before addressing the whole group, a big dimpled smile on her face. [color=tan]"Please excuse me and my sisters. We are all very excited for your arrival. Welcome to Cladarat,"[/color] she gestured around with a flourish. [color=tan]"My name is [url=http://imgur.com/oIEolMT]Nereia[/url] and these fairies and I will be attending to all your needs during your stay with us,"[/color] Excited giggles again filled the air at the butterfly winged fairy's words. [color=tan]"It is not very often that Queen Erissa and King Cirrus allows humans to enter our realm so as you can see, everyone is quite excited about having all of you here. Now, if you follow me, my dear guests, I shall lead you to your lodgings."[/color] [color=tan]"Tonight there will be a ball where all of you will be addressed by the King and Queen. I am sure all of you are wondering why you were brought here. All will be made clear tonight. For now, please, feel free to relax and perhaps explore,"[/color] Nereia continued in her sing song voice as she led the humans deeper into the forest and into an area where several trees that appeared to be [url=http://imgur.com/y3M9HmO]houses[/url] stood. [color=tan]"I suppose it doesn't look much to everyone but you will be surprised to find out what's inside. We have prepared one for each of you,"[/color] she stopped at one of the 'houses' and gestured towards it, inviting whoever wanted to go first to step in. [hider=OOC] Cladarat is composed of intertwining forests that constantly changes. Feel free to explore and let your imagination run wild. There can be fountains, parks, gardens, lakes, etc. but the forest is alive and can change configuration with a blink of an eye. The fountain to your right may shift to your left when you aren't looking. If you get lost, all you need to do is call out to the fairies and they will come get you. Houses: all of you will be assigned one each. Once you open the door, each house will conform to what you want it to be: modern, rustic, cozy... again let your imagination run free. L Same thing with your wardrobes. You may find whatever article of clothing you want in the closets in your respective houses. Strangely enough, gadgets like cellphones still work in Cladarat but it is limited to working within your group. So, say you wanna call someone, you can only call those that are in Cladarat with you.
