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!

Okay. Watch this!

[She points the tip of the coral at the bird, before pushing the spiral of the shell in. Like magic, a large gust of air rushes through the coral, and a large bubble is shot like a bullet towards the bird, where it quickly envelopes it. The bird, unable to fly, is knocked from the tree, and safely bounces on the ground below.]

Woah! [That had been pretty neat to watch. She quickly moves to the bird trapped in the bubble and stares down at it for a moment, with pity in her eyes, before she looks back at Keimi.] So... do I pop the bubble now?
seakingbait: (Confused)

Hm... we got it down, right? Lets do it.

[She'll let Anna do the honors.]

[Right so. She's just gonna... Use her foot, in an attempt to pop the bubble. And it works! But now she's faced with a wet and very annoyed bird that screeches at her angrily. This startles her into backing away quickly, tripping over her own feet and landing roughly on her rear. The bird may or may not fly off then, depending on how fast Keimi can react, because Anna's still sort of stunned.]
