Also info on the island:

♦ ISLA DE QUARZO ROSA

[Direction from Isla Empieza]: Somewhere in the South.

[Terrain]: Clouds and rose quartz gemstones. Wild twisted thorn jungles and cities built out of crystal pillars.

[Weather]: Crystal clear. It’s always warm and bright, thanks to the sunlight reflecting off the stones. It’s best to wear a pair of tinted sunglasses the entire time you are here. Light storms hover over the jungles once in a while but otherwise the island floats high enough that it’s almost always perfect weather.

[Is the island inhabited?]: Yes!

[If so, what is the culture like here?]: The people of the island are very short, the tallest standing around four foot tall, rounded faces, feet flat and duck like, body rounded but human. They are all slightly pink tinted in hair, like everything else around this place. The people here have learned to carve out huge villages in the centers of rose courts crystal pillars. They hunt for food, mostly birds, in the twisting thorn forest.

[Island peculiarities]: The jungles are light brown, pink to green and roll round and round in thick loops, twisting around each other. When tapped the sap inside the twisted tree like roots and thorny vines are sweet and almost intoxicating if you’re not raised on the stuff. Traders will sometimes come and collect sap for sale on the seas.

The island is made up purely of crystal stone, rose colored, jutting out here and there. There is a large deep patch of earth in the far northern side of the island that grows a forest, but nothing else will actually grow there. No crops are made here. This jungle however is FULL of birds. The larger crystal pillars can be hollowed out to build homes in.

The clouds under the city keep it hidden from the seas below, but the vines in the north have gotten so large and so wild that through the clouds thick spiny arms seem to grow and twist under the island as well.

The only food here is some form of bird or another, or strips of baked vines from the forest.

Full jars of sap tapped from the trees of this place fetch a nice price on the "below seas".


Have at, guys!

*When Thash turned away, Faye looked over him carefully, biting softly on her lower lip. He was talking about her, she thought, and being called amazingly beautiful seemed to have a warming effect on her. As he stood up and stretched, Faye realised she was staring, and looked own at table, nodding*

Right.

*It took a moment, but she composed herself a bit better, regulating her breathing*

I'm sure your amazing beautiful friend will be around later on...

Alright then... I'll come back and find her later.

[He smiled over his shoulder at her, his tail waving a bit behind him]

See ya Faye... [He'd go to retrieve his sword before heading out this time]

Okay. That's a good idea.

*Faye looked up and smiled lightly at him. When he was gone, she set about tidying up the table and cleaning the glasses and plates. Maybe she'd go look for some birds later*
