Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC: 'Tis a good post *nod*

Koori had wandered away from home. He had never been away from home in his life up to this point. The main reason being that Far always needed help tending the little plot of land he owned in the mountains. It was where they managed to sustain themselves, with crops and a few chickens for the occassional meat. But Far had given him and his sister the day off, Kari wanted to stay close to home and explore the mountain...which was a much better idea then he had had.
He was lost...in a freakin' dessert. Sure, they were surrounded by it on all sides, but they could see the town of Stardust from home...it was very close. But once off the mountain, with the dunes and such, it was impossible to see anywhere.

Damnit, how the hell am I going to get home? I miss home already...

Koori was indeed already homesick, mentally and he was getting nauseous...but that could be a side effect of the heat. His seemingly endless padding through the dessert was interrupted...and next thing he knew, he was tumbling head over heels...downward. He landed on top of something fury, warm, and soft.

What the heck? He was also looking straight up at the sky.

Koori was thrown to his feet as, what appeared to be a dustling, thew him off and moved to the other "side" of the whole.
"No...I was little distracted by my thoughts," he replied tentatively. He had never met another dust besides his sister, this was an extremely exciting moment for him.

And, damn, NOW he really wished he had better vision, what he had was adequate enough to work with and live with, but he had learned his way around the farm when he was young, before his vision went bad. This was something new. He basically only saw a giant purple mass with green dots for eyes, here and there were splotches of different colors...Patterns, they must be patterns...
He squinted his white eyes to attempt to get a better look, but it only helped mildly.

OOC: Again, I don't mind, just ask Lady Our.

"No, REALLY?" Koori replied sarcastically. "I'm sorry, I'm just aggrivated at my lack of vision, or rather, just how horrible it is."

Koori readjusted himself into lying down on the cool sand, well, at least down here they wouldn't dehydrate to death to quickly. He lay his head on his front legs and his tail by his side. Might as well conserve energy.

"Who is this Sol you speak of?"

"Hey, I'm really sorry, didn't mean to...make you cringe," Koori replied extremely apologetically while he began absently pawing at the sand.

"Ah, I see, must be nice to have friends...well, that aren't related to you anyway," he quickly added the last comment, almost ashamed he had forgotten about Far and Karibi at home.

At the same time the bigger dustling looked up, so did Koori, he was pleased to see something that could fly, something that could probably help them both out of this mess. He smiled as best he could...having a beak made it a little hard.

OOC: SCREW IT! I can't resist. XDD This will be edited with a post.

Koori didn't have time before the giant, he hadn't realized untill now just how large the other dustling was, had launched into digging. Far unfortunately couldn't help, adding to his already horrible vision, he had dirt flying at him, and his focus was on staying on top of the mounting pile.

Koori was about...three quarters of the size of the other dust, then he realized it. We don't even know each other's name! and laughed inwardly.

Koori could smell the exertion radiating off of the other dust. He became mildly worried, but did not express this fact as he was still trying to stay on top of the ever increasing pile.

From what little Koori could see, and what little of his mind he could dedicate to thinking, the dust was making excellent progress. In fact, he looked about halfway done. Considering just how steep the slope was before, this gouge was a major improvement and, at the rate he was going now, they could be out of there in a another few minutes.
