"Yes... a place with lots of sunshine. Maybe near a forest? Though I don't know much about building houses... I'm sure things'll work out, somehow." As I'm speaking I'm looking around, trying to see if I can spot a patch of green on the horizon, cluttered though it is with the piles of lost items. After several long seconds I give up trying to see past the clutter.
"Well, I suppose we should just start walking and see where the road takes us."I lift up my bag full of bottles with a grunt, then quickly set it back down.
"Wow, that's heavy..." One of the bottles, my harmony bottle*, falls out and rolls towards Aura, the top coming off.
*That's the pink one with a heart, right?
Translation: I'm using my harmony bottle on Aura.
(I currently don't have time to write a story reply, I'll hopefully be able to write one after I finish with dinner.
I hope you have fun with your friend! )

As MARK-12 sifted through the scrapped metals, Mocking turned his back to the mailbox, puzzling over how the mailbox even worked. Or even if it was a mailbox. Airheart floated nearby, still tittering over Mocking and the frightening mailbox. Mocking patted her shoulder, and pulled the inky sea bottle out of his backpack, comparing the two bottles, wondering exactly how anything in this world worked.
He was still deep in thought when the mailbox shook, hitting Mocking just enough to make him stumble, and he dropped the inky bottle, causing it to crack, and roll closer to MARK-12. He turned around, and saw a catalog-type advertisement sticking out from the mailbox. A whole new parade of Misfits were available, at the Goblin's shop, so Mocking filled out an order form for a few(especially after noticing Stitch did not yet have a home) and shoved the forms back in the mailbox.
Mocking scratched his head, sighing. The bottle wouldn't hold up much longer, so his plan of using the ecosystem on MARK-12 flopped, and he simply turned around, kicked the bottle at MARK-12, and caused it to shatter against his leg.
"Sorry, MARK, didn't mean for it to actually hit you!" Mocking cried, rushing to get as close to MARK-12 as he could.

oh gosh, I was expecting the new misfits to last the week. I'm so glad everyone likes them!
ahhh Neko! thankyou so much for popping by! I hope you like your Misfits, and I'm so happy someone adopted Reina and Baird together
l337Lorelei, Shinster is an adorable name for him I can't wait to see his reaction. I really love your taste in the Misfits you adopt and the Bottles you buy - you have a knack for picking nice ones, you're building up a Misfit paradise over there xD Also - since I haven't finished Aura's new design yet, this post takes place after the one that is being posted tommorrow with Aura's new powers/outfit. But, I won't remove the Harmony Bottle from your inventory picture until the post is up that it has been used. Super confusing, but I don't want to take the bottle out your inventory until you've got to see the results!
same for you Mockingbird, the Inky Sea bottle shall remain in your inventory until you actually have his picture, and I adore your recent post so much. I love the idea of the catalogue! i'm secretly wishing that one day someone peers in their mailbox and gets hit by a catalogue.

It's a stormy day in the Land of Lost Things today, though no drop of rain touches you. The wind is strong and whistles past you as you make your way through the clearing.
"Somethings abrewing." said the goblin with a nod of recognition to the sky. He was silent for a moment, before hobbling after you as you continued on your walk. You didn't mind the weather that much. In fact, you were so enthralled in looking at the strange people that it really didn't bother you.
One looked like a clay scuplture that had fallen on it's side, for the girl it depicted was in such an unusual pose that you could hardly believe her to be sleeping. And yet as you watched her, you could clearly see her chest, rising and falling, rising and falling. She was very much alive, and you were sure that even as you watched her now, she was becoming more and more like a living person.
"Isobelle." you said as you brushed passed her, nodding your own head in recognition of her. You knew immediately that you had come for this lady - and yet, your heart pulled you onwards.
You moved further into the clearing, to the very far side. A large pile of Lost Things cast a shadow on this area, though it was not dark, just shady. A very tall man stood propped up against an old crumbling pillar - the only person you have seen to not be lying down so far, apart from you and the goblin. Yet, as you look closer, it doesn't surprise you. He wore a self-assured expression on his face, and even though he was drained of colour, carried with him an air of confidence. Not to mention, he was far taller then you - a half-giant, you suspect. You wondered if such a man even could sleep. If you didn't know any better, you'd say he was a Knight standing guard.
"Baird." The name carried with it a familiarity you couldn't ignore. Your mouth turned up in a half style as you thought of it. But still, a feeling in your chest tugged you on. There was more to see.
Past the pillar, hidden away a little, sat a huge mound of midnight black feathers. As you approach, you realise that a very tall, slender figure lay nestled among them. A woman - Reina, you seem to recall - lay sleeping. There was a bittersweet feeling in the air, hope tinged with sadness, a type of foreboding. And yet... you couldn't look away from her. You knew you had come for all three of them, both giants and Isobelle.
"It'll take a while for 'em to wake up!" called the Goblin, eyeing up Baird. He was standing some way away, and he seemed a bit too nervous to go past the tall man to where you were. "Yaknow, these two turned up at the same time - right down to the very second - this whole area wasn't like it before they arrived. Then poof, here it was, pillar and feathers and all."
The feeling that had been pulling you foreward to meet your companions starts to fade, and replacing it, a deep knowing that they were awakening to meet you. Content, you let the goblin lead you back to his little rickety shelf, and spend a little time relaxing and perusing his wares.

this post comes after the one tommorrow! still working on your bottle
You follow the path down out of The Land of Lost Things. Amie is running around excitedly, sometimes whizzing past you and other times trailing behind when she finds something interesting. Sometimes she runs over to you and tugs on your arm, pointing at something, or inviting you into one of her games. You and Aura walk side by side, her eyes alight with an endearing compassion. It's as if a weight had been lifted off her, since you popped the cork of the bottle. You and her talk easily and naturally, and between the three of you, you quickly loose track of where you are. and then...
"Hey, look!"said Amie, grabbing your hand and looking up at you. "We're back where we started!"
Aura took a step foreward, playing with her hair abscentmindedly. "How can it be possible to walk away from something and return to it?" she mused.
It hits you all at once: This clearing was not the same as the one you just left, and yet, you swear you had only been here this morning. There were abandoned, lonesome pillars and the sky was darker then when you departed. It is windy, and Amie huddles close to keep warm.
Yet, you know you have reason for coming here. Slowly, you walk out into the clearing. Once again, you head to the very middle: this time to be greeted by a figure alot different from Amie.
It is a man, tall and slender, though not like any man you've ever seen before. There was a faint smell of wildflowers about him, and as you stood in his presence, you felt quite relaxed and at ease, despite the foreboding sky above you. You felt quite sure, everything was going to be allright with Shinrin around. In fact, Shinrin felt too impersonal for someone who seemed so nice... Shinster seemed more appropriate.
"OOOH! Is that why we're here? Who is he? He's a very funny looking boy." Amie was sitting by his head, poking his little antenna as he slept. "Do you think he'll wake up soon? I want to say hi when he wakes up." she asked, curling up next to him with a yawn. It seemed the calming feeling you got around him was affecting her, too. Next thing you know, she was dozing off quietly.
"Don't worry, she won't go back to the enchanted sleep. I think she just wore herself out with all the running around." said Aura, coming to sit down next to you. You sit in the clearing for a while, watching over your companions, talking with Aura. She seems alot happier now.
Eventually, you decide to pop in on the goblin and see what he has for sale. Aura stays with Amie and Shinrin for you, and you can see her from the shop. The goblin is lazing around in an old rocking chair he must of found on one of the heaps, and sits watching you as you look through his new wares. You come away with a single bottle, so as not to leave Aura and your sleeping companions alone too long.

Mockingbird:Spoiler
The inky sea swirls around you, coccooning you in waves of luminescent colours that block you from seeing Airheart and MARK-12. You can barely see right in front of your face, and the whistling waves threaten to tug you into their depths. You can't help but be pushed around by them, and next thing you know you see a glint of the familliar red mailbox. A large wooshing sound grates on your ears, but it doesn't seem to be coming from the unleashed inky sea at all. And then...
You're standing in blackness, although it doesn't seem dark here. You're not exactly sure where you are at all. Theres two lights in the distance, and you squint to make them out. They appear to be getting... bigger. Strange. Quite quickly, in fact. It soon becomes clear that you are in fact staring at an old, rickety vehicle, and the crazy goblin is driving it right towards you. You barely have time to jump out the way, when he grabs you by your collar and tugs you on board. It appears to be some sort of cart, and in the back behind you you can see the sleeping forms of Seven and a small form, nestled under blankets. If you weren't in shock from being almost hit by some mechanical contraption, you were surprised the goblin had gone to such lengths to make sure these Misfits were treated lovingly while in his care, even if they were asleep.
The mechanical vehicle has no roof, and looks like he built it out of things he found in the Land of Lost - well, things. It's made of old clocks and cogs, strung together with wires and strings and old empty cans. You wonder, bemused, how such a thing could run. Just as you are thinking the thought, he rips a cap off something in the middle of his steering wheel, and next thing you know he's pouring the contents of several bottles into it. You're beginning to wonder if he brews them himself...
"I run this old beast on Inky Sea! Only fuel it with the best! Always gotta pick the bottles good, else the machines might go spinning off into space!" he said with a wink at you. He must remember every purchase ever made, you think. Or you would, if you had the time to think - the goblin suddenly wrenched the steering wheel and you all go shrieking out into the bright red light of the Mech Graveyard and then he slams his foot down. With a thunk, the cart narrowly misses going headfirst into a pile of old metal.
You immediately rush round and clamber on the back to see if Wylde and Seven are ok. They seem fine - as does the little blue bottled nestled in the corner. You sigh in relief.
"Mocking?" came the familliar voice of Mark-12. You turn around...

You pick your way across the clearing, holding a hand out in front of you against the strong ether winds. It isn't quite enough, and a mistep causes you to slip and fall to the ground. You are unhurt, but find yourself peering into the round face of a little brownie girl, all snuggled up in a cloak and bonnet. She seems quite content there, like she was lying in front of a warm fire on a cold winter night. You think that even if she was awake, she wouldn't mind the windy weather much. Your heart instantly melts at the sight of her, and suddenly you are sure - she is the reason you found yourself here. "Aendaeleah!" you say, and you swear she moves a little in her sleep. Perhaps she heard you?
You hear the sound of machinery behind you and see the goblin hopping out of a strange cart made of clocks and wierd bits and bobs. "House call!" he says to you over the wind, running over and helping you up. "Welcome. Don't worry about your companion, she's breaking the enchanted sleep but she'll soon be awake and with you. They'll wait forever, you know, until the right person calls them back. But anyway - let me show you around - here! We have lots of bottles to choose from..."
He leads you over to a rickety shelf covered in strange concoctions. Two in particular catch the light in beautiful ways, and you feel the need to take them with you. You don't know where your adventures in Dreamtime might take you, but as you take your bottles back over to the sleeping Aendaeleah, you know that she will be right there with you, all the way. Silvrechan Inventory Silvrechan has adopted Aendaeleah!
Aww, thanks. I'll write a response tomorrow then. And... I dunno. Shinster just... sounds right.
Now lets see if I can get everything in my signature...
WOO! I DID!
