<<Well,>> Myrrh began, <<they are, um, well, little fake people made of plastic and fabric and such.>> She wasn’t really sure how else to describe them. <<Some of them, they can talk if you squeeze them or pull a string that comes out of their backs. Also, sometimes people, they, um, well, they stick their hands into the butt of the puppet and that makes it talk. It looks most uncomfortable, but the puppets don’t seem to mind.>> She almost made a comment about wondering if the Grimer would start talking if she were to squeeze her, but, realizing she might have to follow through, she decided against it. She had to be back soon and certainly didn’t have time to wash that smell off of her.
<<Yes, that is true, but there are also things we are much better at.>> She didn’t elaborate, figuring that was obvious. Deciding that it might be worth a go, despite the stench of the Grimer probably giving them away, she stated, <<Sure, I don’t see any harm in teaming up. I come out here pretty much nightly, so if you want to tag along, feel free to meet me out here, a couple hours after night falls.>>
Normally Myrrh couldn’t care less whether she was rude or not, but, despite the blobbishness and stench of this Grimer, she seemed to take a liking to her, so, in this one instance, she was actually trying not to be rude. <<Well, um, no offense, but, well, I can make pretty good time hovering my rock along. If you were to come with, I doubt I would make it back in time. No offense, but, with your physical makeup, being what it is, I doubt you can cover ground that quickly.>>

<<OHMYGOSH, little plastic people?>> Margarita butted in, face squished in awe as she tried to imagine tiny people made of water bottles and soda rings -- the only type of plastic she had really encountered in her city life. It didn't even matter that such musings didn't even make a lick of sense, for inanimate objects rarely spontaneously came to life like that. In fact, she didn't realize she had been wandering around her thoughts again, even as she spoke a query toward the end of her endeavor instead of along the way, even as she absorbed the information she was receiving from Myrrh like a sponge in the rain, <<Gotta be uncomfortable for the hand, too. Some of those things are sharp! And all that water...>> She thought a moment longer before her mind branched off again; thinking too much like this always made her bored in the end, but it was inevitable that she would uncover the thoughts again at a later point in time at the most inopportune times. After all, it made great fodder to work with to get those strange looks from people that she always loved to cause! Perhaps she might even find the answers to a greater extent at a later time, but that was sometimes less than an achievement. Blissful ignorance was both a great tool as much as it was a great curse.
<<Great! I'll be sure to come out here whenever I'm in the area, then!>> the grimer cheerfully exclaimed, as though she felt she just became the accomplice of some great and powerful leader. Or secret agent. A ninja? Either way, she was ecstatic, and if she hadn't been aware of the fact that Myrrh was currently hiding from the buildings just behind them, she would have been much louder. Besides, no use bluffing too much ignorance when she just accomplished a great feat!
Under the dimness of the setting moon, it was hard to tell whether or not Margarita actually took offense at the statement. Eyes lowering, she put a finger to her mouth in thought, which may have looked a little depressed had it been on anyone else. However, despite the shortage of watts that seemed to light her brain, she was quick to understand -- perhaps she wasn't as idiotic as she may have portrayed herself, just slightly... more-than-a-little-ADHD. <<Hum, you're right. I'm no marathon runner. Or marathon walker... or crawler,>> she agreed before her eyes narrowed in curiosity, <<So do you... roll or something? Hop?>> She couldn't for the life of her figure out how a haunted rock was suppose to wander around so freely, but she did manage to evade her pursuers with relative ease!

<> Myrrh started and then paused, confused by what the Grimer had said. <> Myrrh was at a loss; she didn’t know what to add to that. She had no way to know that Daisy’s experience with plastic was rather limited.
<> She hoped she wouldn’t regret this decision. She tended to work alone, but, maybe, an accomplice could come in handy. Only time would tell, though. She couldn’t help but wonder if Daisy knew what she was getting into.
<> It really was time for her to get going though; she needed to be back. So at that, she started levitating off. <> she added as she started heading off. <>

Although Margarita wanted very much to be able to articulate what she was getting at with the observations she had made, any sensibility was lost when Myrrh tried to catch on. Her reaction was too much, and after a stint of staring blankly to reinforce her seriousness, it came crumbling in a fit of giggles. There was no hope at recovering her train of thought at this rate, she was in stitches at the confusion her friend portrayed despite the want to be perfectly clear with her at this point in time. Oh well, maybe she could get it together for the next time they met; for the time being, however, she would drop the subject, lest she say anything to annoy on accident.
<<Righty-o, Myrrh-Myrrh!>> she nodded enthusiastically as she caught her breath, excited about the next run-in with the master. Or... or hot air balloon? She gaped as the spiritomb took off, back home, and stumbled a few 'steps' forward, as though she were trying to get a better look at the odd sight. She had never seen such a thing! After a few moments of silence, watching as Myrrh floated away, she suddenly raised her hands as though in triumph over some sort of score. <<That is so COOL! Go on, be free!>> she called over, a goofy grin spreading across her face after the last of her words as she waved goodbye. Perhaps not what someone would expect as a 'see you soon,' but then again, this was a puddle of pollution that was dubbed 'Daisy' that was speaking. There was no 'normal' setting for this situation at all.
Peeking back into the the strange phenomenon that was clean water, Margarita pulled at the edges of her mouth and stuck her tongue out at her reflection. It was so weird to be able to see herself! Oh... oh wait, she had to be heading home now, didn't she? It didn't seem nearly as much fun out here now that there was nobody left to pester. Or... suppose she meant 'having an intense conversation.' Over tea. Mmmyesss. Strolling off toward where Nix and his other lackeys were temporarily stationed at, she pondered at how she could get herself a top hat.
