Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I can't believe I got lassoed into this."

"Your fault for losin' th' coin-toss."

"Yes, Uziri. Thank you for the reminder."

Oliver was not a sociable person at the best of times. And now that he was trapped babysitting the larva for the day while Iz went to do..whatever the hell he did when he was off on his own...he was not happy about it.

Uziri, on the contrary, was very happy. She was holding Irizu's hand, smiling and acting as though the world was in fact made of candy and bunnies. The petting zoo had been a most excellent discovery that she took credit for taking, and now that Oliver was busy complaining to Irizu's Fuzzy Man and paying for entry, she tugged at her sister's sleeve and pointed.

"We are sneakin' in," she said importantly, leading Irizu to the open gate and making a beeline towards a baby pig.

Elazu's ears perked and swivled slightly as he heard a girl's cry of glee. There were other kids here? The moment of thought made him weak apparently, for his eyes chose that to be the time to blink, making the goat bleat mockingly.

" Aawww shoot!" He frowned, waggling a finger at the goat. " I get chu next time." The goat merely bleated again, and moved right along to a small patch of hay, the child was no longer interesting nor did he have any food pellets. Elazu huffed then turned his attention toward the noise that had made him blink. He saw to girls clustered around a pink blob, what the heck was that thing?!

Elazu quickly made his way over to the two girls, peering over their shoulders in order to get a good look at the pink creature, his tail flciking excitedly behind him.

" Waz dat?"

Opec had learned to not take Oliver's noises of distaste to heart any more.

"The larvae have disappeared," he stated simply, whirling about in an attempt to find them. Spotting the children with a little boy, he relaxed.

"Oh," Irizu nodded and then looked to the boy. She certainly didn't know this child, and the fact that Uziri had been meeting people without her made the toddler extremely jealous. Her brow furrowed in anger and the skulls on her necklace began to glow faintly.

"What? Oh, god-dammit..."

Studying Elazu's face, Uziri gave a sudden shriek of victory as memory kicked in.

"Zu!" she said, pointing him in the chest. "I 'member now! You made your han's diss-pear. Rizu, Rizu, this's my friend Zu."

After a beat, she realized poor Zu was helplessly confused. It was sad and quite amusing at the same time.

"We's twins," she said. "I am Uziri. She's Irizu. Easy peasy."

Elazu grinned happily at the real Uziri, very happy to see her and yet mildly surprised since she had grown so much, plus had a clone! Or as she seemed to call it, a twin, but Elazu was pretty sure it was a clone. His head did tilt in confusion as the clone called him stupid. Had he said something silly? He was pretty sure he had kept his manners...

" Why I stupid? What I do?"

"HMPH!" Irizu voiced, stomping her foot and walking dramatically off. How dare Zee talk to her like that?! She was the older twin! And what did making your hands invisible have to do with anything?!

"DA!"

"Hnn?" Opec kneeled down as his daughter approached.

"Da, I wan' go home."

"What? Why?! We just got here!"

"I dun' like it."

Opec stood, toddler in his arms, and looked over to Uziri and the little boy. Ah, he understood.

"We're not going."

"BUT DAAAAAAAA!"

Uziri sighed, shaking her head slightly and the skulls on her necklace glowing brightly in distress.

"Sorry," she muttered to Elazu, scuffing at the ground. "Issa mam-a-tee..." she repeated, nodding. "They's s'posed to look funny."

She shifted slightly on the churned muddy ground, discomforted. Her sister didn't like Elazu?

"Gimme sec, " she said to the boy, shooting off to tug at Irizu's sleeve and try to draw her back. "Rizu, Rizu, Rizu. Don' be mad, I'll share 'im with you."
