"That Gaia Story" is made in mid-late 2012, just in time of the "prophesied-end-of-world-event" 21st December 2012, I made this story.
This story does not have an official title. Just like my first two stories, I used the "That _____ Story" title format. I doubt I will ever give it a proper title.
This is one of the few stories that was based on a dream I had.
Sypnosis
As the world is going to end, a club full of misfits found a way to enter an alternate reality to escape their ghastly fates. They found themselves in an alternate Earth called Gaia, with a broken reality shifting machine.
As they fix their alt-machine and set up camp, they are met by a girl, too young to be on her own, named Mia. She joined the club as a guide to Gaia, and also to be protected by as she is a descendent of the Goddess of this world, in which the name Gaia came from.
With a bounty on Mia's head, the club will learn about Gaia's culture, heritage, and dark secrets and conspiracies, before returning to their recovering world.
Characters
Clair
Clair is the leader, co-founder, and the eldest (25-years-old) of the Do-Whatever-Club. A fun mom-friend, she exudes an inviting charisma that caused her to start her club with her merry bunch of misfitting friends. Despite Clair graduated from high school 8 years ago, her club is still running for some reason, with new members entering every year, though she isn't too distraught by it. Anyone is free to leave the club, but all 8 members stayed due to her mentorship and advice. Currently, there are 8 people in the club.
Clarence
Clair's younger brother by a year, he is her right-hand man and co-founder of the Do-Whatever-Club. Compared to Clair, Clarence is strict and blunt, but it usually comes from a place of concern. He is more calculative and strategic, but he knows how to have fun as well.
Mia
The descendant of Gaia and personal tour guide of the Do-Whatever-Club. Mia's status as a descendant is roughly the equivalent of the Dalai Lama. Because of this, she has to hide away from the public due to her status. She provides divine protection for the Do-Whatever-Club while they rebuild their machine and when Earth is habitable again. An honorary member of the Do-Whatever-Club.
