Typers log, Entry 76.
----------
I had to grab some more bread and eggs this morning because Atlagos decided it'd be amusing to smash them all over the kitchen floor.
Well it turned out that wasn't all that I ended up grabbing. The bread's fine but the eggs ended up smashing all over the ground when I dove for this little baby who was tossed into the air like a football by a pint sized dwarf thing. Then he poofed into a cloud of smoke, leaving me with her and not a clue in the world as what to do.
So I swaddled her for a minute or two, to get her to calm down only she didn't seem in the least bit upset. She was gurgling and giggling actually..
She seemed fine so I made my way back to the store to buy another carton of eggs and some supplies for her. Luckily this department store has just about everything in the book. I stocked up on a couple of bottles for her, with cute daisies on it. I figured that she would like them because she's a girl. Those and some packages of ultra diapers and some jars of baby food and a few bags of milk. Hopefully ultra means "No need to change until the second mess".. because I'm not exactly thrilled to start changing them nasty things.. Oh, I even found this neat toy box in one of the aisles way at the back of the store. I figured I could put her diapers in it for now, and once she's older she can keep some of the toys she'll have in it. I decided that she'll be having one of the two spare rooms. I chose the one with the pink shaggy carpet.. kind of reminds me of her skin, heh.
Anyway, on the way back home she ended up falling asleep, so I tucked her into the middle of her new bed. It's pretty big so I don't think she'll be able to roll off it.. I think I'll go warm up some milk for her, then stick around there to make sure.
-Daniel Peymote.

12345 The little infant tiredly raised her eyelids, long lashes fluttered gently against her spotted skin as she yawned. The soft morning glow from the window beside her new large bed seemed to bid her a good morning with warm rays of bright sunshine.
12345 Turning her head, she spotted the man from the other day, asleep in a wooden chair beside her bed. Gently kicking at the matress she lied on with her tiny feet, her tummy began to grumble hungrily. She screwed up her face and began to whine softly. This was soon followed by the waterworks, and Dan couldn't help but jump awake.
12345 Scratching his head absent mindedly, he reached for the bottle resting on the night stand, squirting some of the milk onto his wrist to make sure it was still warm before cradling the young baby in his arms, and feeding her. "At least one of us slept well.." he muttered while rolling his head on his shoulders. Lifting to his feet, he shuffled them both into the living room and took a seat on the smaller red couch.
12345"You still need a name.." he thought aloud. The baby in his arms rested her eyes closed and continued to feed from the bottle as few drops of milk escaped from her pink lips. She's a cutie he thought. Resting his head on the back of the couch, he trailed back into his mind to when he was only a little boy. He began to remember how his mother told him all about how she thought that he was going to be a little girl, with beautiful brown ringlets and bright blue eyes. She was going to name him Toure, after her great aunt. "Toure.." he breathed.
12345Looking back down to the baby in his arms, it was confirmed. She would be named Toure.. ~ 12345 Almost springing to life, Danny quickly sat upright and looked to his left then to his right. He should introduce the other family creatures to Toure. It would be best if he did anyway, so she wouldn't be mistaken for an egg.. "Hey Atlagos, Tres, get over here." he called. Almost immediately a tiny head and set of moony yellow eyes popped into view from behind a leaf of one of the potted plants beside the large television. A gentle rustle, followed by a soft fluttering of wings was then heard as two small faeries landed on the arm rest of the leather couch Daniel and Toure were sitting on.
12345Toure blinked open her eyes, hiccuping as she finished the last drop of her meal. Dan placed the bottle on the coffee table infront of him, and sat her up in his lap, careful to support her head. "This, this is Toure." he told the two small figures. Looking from the pair then to the baby he held, he couldn't help showing a smile as the two creatures exchanged puzzled looks. "She's a part of the family now." he nodded.
12345Atlagos was the first to react, fluttering over the little child, examining her very closely. Toure giggled excitedly, revealing a set of slobbery gums as she swiped through the air at her happily. Atlagos managed to dodge her futile reach, hissing reproachfully. Treski whispered warningly at her sister as she watched from her perch. "Hey-" Dan spoke warningly. "She's here to stay so you both better get used to each other." He told both Atlagos and Toure.
12345Sighing, Dan stood up and grabbed the empty bottle as Atlagos stuck her tongue out at him tauntingly and buzzed away. "I'm going to make us three some breakfast, then hopefully find something for all of us to do without someone losing a limb." He winked at Toure, and began to dig through the pantry.

12345Turning off the faucet, Dan dried his hands on the dish towel and placed the last plate into the cuboard. A few days had gone by now, and Toure was taking a likeing to mashed food along with her milk. She giggled happily, and clapped her chubby hands together, reaching out to Danny from her wooden highseat.
12345"I'm coming, keep your diaper on." He made his way back to the table and gently lifted her from her seat. "There. You're fed, changed, and I've totally exhausted peek-a-boo for today," he grinned. She was getting more of a handful as the days went by, he thought. Sighing, he hoisted her into one arm, and unlatched the front door, making his way into the hallway towards the elevator.
12345"Lets go get the mail, shall we?" he said dryly. This was the only time of the day that he was able to go downstairs. All the elderly, cheek-pinching residents were either in bed or still feasting, and Toure had to take a nap to rejuvinate what seemed like an endless supply of energy soon. Danny pressed the f1 button as Toure watched him, oh-so interestedly. Just about anything that lit up or could fly amazed her.
12345A soft whoosh and a couple of clangs later the steel doors parted, and the couple made way to the small mail cubes. He rustled through his pocket, and opened the small lock with his key, allowing the little door to spring open. Two envelopes, junk mail and a bill were lofting against the side. A small piece of paper fluttered out and danced to the floor. Picking it up along with his other mail, Danny inspected it closely and discovered it was a map of some sort..
12345There were mountains, forests and rivers. It kind of reminded him of maps on some of his video games.. On the top of the map Isle of Telrunya was hastily scribbled. Red dashes lead to the spot charted as the 'landing circle', and on the back of the map were written directions from Dan's apartment to the circle. Also written was "Bring infant as soon as possible."
12345Dan scrunched his nose in confusion. Was this where Toure had come from, perhaps? He looked from the map to Toure's pale blue eyes, her arms streching to grasp the paper, which if she'd grab, she'd probably devour. A soft sigh escaped from her little wiggling form, as she gave up and boiled silently. "Well then.. I guess it's worth the try. Maybe We'll both find out why you're stuck with me." He sighed himself, and started back to the elevator, Toure drooling as sleep became her main priority.

Todo, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.. Daniel huffed through the thick olive hued grass. Toure bounced uncomfortably in his arms with his large strides, and soon began to express her distress with shrilly cries. They had both been wandering about this sky island that their map had led them to for over a couple of hours, and the afternoon sun was beginning to cast hot waves of sunlight along the way. He stopped and leaned under a tree, swaddling Toure to one arm using his free hand to wipe away beads of sweat from his forehead which his hair was starting to stick to. It wasn't that pleasant, and poor Toure was just as hot. She continued to wail, and tugged angrily on Dan's collar. She had grown a bit since they first met, and was now more comfortable crawling along their apartments hardwood instead of being held. She even preferred toast and soggy animal crackers than jarred baby foods. "Ah- you're choking me" Danny moaned. He tried to extend her away from him, but she held on almost effortlessly to his shirt. Dan furrowed his brow and tried to push her away further, until he couldn't anymore, the stiching in his collar ripping. "Ack, Toure" he gently choked. She shrieked with laughter, and stuck her spare fist into her mouth. After a second or so, a monarch butterfly floated past through a soft hot breeze, and she let go of Dan's shirt, and instead tried to cling to the insect. He brought her back to his chest, and rubbed his neck. She had some kind of hold for a toddler. They both watched the butterfly until it got lost in the branches above their heads, and started back through the grass. They trudged through the thick grass until they came to green, low brush and a hallway of tall trees. Their canopy of leaves made for cool shade, a nice break from the hot, bright sun. They continued on their unmarked path, until a soft whoosh sound caused them to slow down. Toure blinked boredly, and Dan could tell she was getting tired. There must have been a river close by. He staggered on bent over, glancing through the trees for said river. Only, Toure was the one to spot it. She tugged (gently this time) on a tassel of Dans hair, and pointed at the flowing blue water. Her eyes sparkled curiously as they got closer to the bank, seating cross legged on the softer soil, Danny sat her up in his lap. The water was crystal clear, and it looked safe to drink. To make sure, he cupped his hands and took a sip of the cool treasure. It was delicious! Almost even better than any store bought or tap water he had ever drank. Like a monkey, what Toure saw, she did, and cupped her own smaller hands and took a drink. It was like candy to her developed thirst. "Don't you get too close to the water." Dan warned. He gently reached over and pulled her back a bit as she sighed and took another gulp. {{To be continued.. kind of left off on a loose end, sorry. xD}}
