- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gorachii The main door slides open and Gorachii stumbles out, her messy hair kept in place with two white clips. It's a little past noon, and she shades her eyes with a hand, the other occupied with a delicate, oriental lantern. A little ways down the porch from the door, there is a row of small hooks, and Gorachii makes her way towards them, stumbling awkwardly every few steps.
"Ow, ********... stupid shoes... stupid sun... stupid morning..." Her profane muttering is whisked away by a playful spring breeze, a much-awaited miracle in the remnants of the winter months. There is only the delicate movement of her lips to be seen, ugly words made silent by the wind, and it makes the normally-harsh girl look beautiful for at least a little while.
She hangs the lantern on the hook and cards both hands through her hair. 'Today is a beautiful day for the start of a beautiful life,' she thinks, and then scoffs at her sentimentality.
Onto the lantern she sticks a small rectangular card, and then makes her way inside.
 The Card For the one named Ballentine
I entrust you with this lantern
just make sure not to break it
or I will break your neck
.............-Owner

accessorization quest!__.The butterfly has finally arrived, after much anticipation! It seems to enjoy its new home... but why not get it something it could truly call its own when it grows up?  Find something suitable for the mischievious child that will emerge!

Stars. Pretty twinkling stars. That's what Bricriu first saw as he opened his eyes for the first time. Well, the first time in his new body! During the night his little butterfly body had slipped from the smooth surface of the lantern and gently drifted to the ground, where he currently lay on his back. Hence the reason he was staring up out the window at the nighttime sky.
The little boy remained motionless for quiet awhile before he took one big long breath, letting it out in a huffed sigh. His mouth was dry, and he smacked his lips a bit testing out the new sounds his mouth made. There was a pop sound he quite enjoyed, managing a little hoarse giggle. He smacked and popped his lips, clicked his tongue, and tried to blow a raspberry and found it impossible with the hot dryness of his mouth. That brought a pout to his lips. First mission - find something to drink.
The boy had decided to move; however his body wasn't cooperating. The drastic change from the small butterfly to his new child body was a large strain on him. Little fingers and toes wiggled slowly to draw the blood to them. Fingers, toes, wrists then ankles. Slowly but surely it worked, limbs gaining enough strength to move. With much effort he lifted his hands to his eyes, rubbing away the sleep was left as he let out a giggle of excitement.
With a shake of his head and a little grunt, little hands were placed at his sides to push his body up. But he was heavy! And he fell directly back to the ground, whimpering as he it his head on the carpet. "Oooooow." He whined, rubbing the spot with his stiff arms. Stupid floor, it was too hard.
Whimpering softly to his self he used the strength he had to flip himself onto his tummy, face smooching into the carpet. Snorting he'd lift his head, carpet didn't smell too good. Wiggling a bit he managed to get his knees up under himself and sat up, feeling extra weight on his back and -"Woooooah" he fell back, his wings causing him to lose his balance. Glancing over his shoulder at his wings, he'd glare a bit. Stupid wings! And they weren't even pretty butterfly wings anymore, replaced by ratting bat wings.
Trying again he let out a small yelp as he had kneeled right onto his tail! Sitting back onto his butt, hunched over so he couldn't fall backwards again he gave that tail a tug, wanting to see it better. "Ow!" He yelped then scowling at the triangle tip. With a snort he tossed it to the side and got up to try and stand, falling over onto his back again.
Trial and error was the key, and it was quickly getting old. It took poor Bricriu 13 tries before he was able to get up on his hands and knees. Now hand then foot, hand then foot. Stiffly at first, but soon getting the motions down easily Bricriu swiftly made his way to the kitchen getting across the living room with no problems.
However, Bricriu didn't know that all his grunts and giggles from learning the mobility in crawling had awoken a slumbering family member. Inch by inch Bricriu made his way to the kitchen, a shadow standing not to far away watching the little boy crawling, a head shake at the sight.
One little hand would touch down on linoleum instead of carpet, getting a gasp of surprise before a giggle of excitement. He had made it! Looking at his hand in a bit of shock Bricriu let out a small squeal! "Yay!" He said as he once again began to crawl into the kitchen. However he'd soon come to a stop with a gasp. The room had suddenly filled with light, enough that both hands flew to his eyes. He was blinded for a moment, and once his eyes adjusted he looked over his shoulder at the kitchen door way. He saw a shadow cross it's arms and Bricriu got a pout on his face. He had been caught in the act.

Atraia sat on her car seat and began figiting with her hair. Today was going to be a good day, she could tell. "Yuki are we almost THERE?!"
Geting a 'almost' back Atraia fixed her hair and began to sing.
"Why are you so excited Atraia?"
"Beeecauseee I get to go talk to my friends! THATS WHY!"
She didn't have a hint of who she was going to meet, or what she was going to meet. A boy. A Anima boy.

Bricriu was outside Ballentine's house with his family. Well... outside at least. He had taken the opportunity with their backs turned to sneak away and play near the road. How fun right? BIG shiny metal things speeding by at 55-65 miles per hour.
Grinning a bit to himself he'd find a broken bottle near the side of the road. Perfect! Humming cutely to himself as he took a few small steps to it he bent over, picked it up with his small hands and with a small "Huugh!" it was tossed into the road.
The point of this? To see what would happen - and if two cars could crash together. That yellow line had to be some sort of force field though he could easily pass his foot over the white one. He was definitely puzzled by the pavement.
At the sound of glass shattering, Ballentine looked up from the garden and cursed. "Bricriu!" Throwing down her small digger she ran off after him. "I swear I turn my back for a minute.." She hissed to herself.
Upon hearing his name Bricriu gasped, turning to see Ballentine charging at him. "U-oh.." What did his mind tell him to do? Run of course! And that's exactly what he did as he ran across the street (thankfully when there was a break in the cars) to hide in the ditch on the other side.

Speeding along thw winding roads in the forest that seperated their creepy house from the lovely anima gardens Koyuki began to hum a bright eyes song and just when she was about to get to the good part a loud pop shook the car.
Then a few swerves
Then Koyuki's hunk of crap crashed into a pole.
Great.
"Koyuki could you please LEARN HOW TO DRIVE! I almost got killed!"
"I'm sorry Atraia, it's not my fault! My tire popped."
Opening thier doors, because atraia could climb out of her car seat, they came outside and looked at the popped front right tire and the damage the pole caused.
Looking around Atraia noticed, no... could it be? A boy? A BOY! it was a boy! Practically squeeling to death she gave a wave, to see if he would notice.
Koyuki found a human, which was good. Usually, if you lived in a forest for a good portion of your life you don't know much about fixing cars.
"Hello, My name is Koyuki and, as you can tell, I got in a accident."

Bricriu, unfortunately for Atraia, hadn't seen the female anima as he dashed down into the dishes. Bushes rustled as his body moved through them, dropping to the ground and staring out as he could jus barely see Ballentine through the leaves.
Ballentine paused in her hunt for the boy as she looked at Koyuki. "And I'm afraid it was the fault of my son..." Letting out a long and very annoyed sigh, Ballentine waited till no cars were in the street and kicked the remaining large pieces of glass to the side of the road.
"I have to find Bricriu, but then you can come inside and use my phone."

Now most people would know what aphone is and what it is used for, yest most people. Except Koyuki, she had never used a phone in her life and found her hunk of crap on the street with a "for sale sign" and gave the owner 9k and drove away.
"Um.. yeah a... ph-phone."
Her eyes widend with confusion. She didn't know what a phone was!
"Atraia! Come over here!"
Atraia looked to yuki and looked back where the boy was but didn't see a thing. The boy couldn't be her imagination. Thats just silly!

Ballentine smiled slightly as she started into the woods. "Bricriu!" She grumbled to herself as she trudged along inside the brush. Oh how she was pleading with the gods mentally not to run through a spider web or have a mosquito bite her.
The search didn't take too long, as Bricriu always hid in the same area. There was a small struggle however but ballentine re-appeared with a boy in her hands. She was holding him out as if he were something dirty and under the arm pits so he couldn't wiggle out of her grasp too easily.
Glancing at Atraia and Koyuki, Ballentine laughed lightly. "Sorry... he's a little trouble maker. Let's go inside." She said as he looked both ways and started across the street.
Bricriu had the cutest little pout on his face, eyes narrowed at the ground as his little tail swished from side to side with each of Ballentine's steps.

She blinked. It wasn't her imagination at all! It was a boy! A real boy!
but how would she talk to him? He wasn't old like the other guys. He was her age, if not younger!
and his pout! He pouted too! It was a good pout as well, Yuki would have a hard time being mad at a face like that!
"No it's quite alright, I can just fly home. Besides the car was a hunk of junk and I'm not really sure where... it came from..."
Yuki gave a small laugh following the group of people inside a pretty house. Better then hers anyway, hers looked like it would be infested with ghosts. This house wasn't as scary.
