Reid glared halfhearteded as Deimos shook his hand but nodded all the same, what Deimos was say/yelling was right. "Ki...ki," he crawled back over and grabbed the monkey bar with all four arms then swung himself and, after a few moments, grabbed onto the next with one arm then slowly transferred each of the other three limbs until he was sure he had a firm hold.
Taking a deep breath he repeated the process, taking his time and then, suddenly he was on the next one! He made until the fifth ring before falling and picked himself up before Deimos could yell at him again, quickly heading back over and starting again.
"Mmm... maybe five," Chao laughed quietly, marking another tally in the ground and nodded, "yeah, that'd be really nice, huh? We could have Rico make a dinner too and make it an evening."

Deimos beamed. He didn;t even have to shout this time. "Go Reid! COme on. You can do it!" He said, now switching into motivation mode. He was reminded of those army movies, when they were training. He was like General Deimos, though he prefered the term Captain above all.
Jizzy smiled. "We could even play a board game or soemthing. Pictionary or something of the sorts. It'll be a regular old party." She said, getting all exited at the prospect of it.

Reid smiled, already on the third ring and glowed warmly at the motivational tone, liking it much better. One hand slipped and he yelped, but clung on for all he was worth and soon he was situatiated firmly on the fourth ring.
Taking a few deep breaths he swung again. Fifth... sixth... soon he'd lost himself to the rythem- swing, grab, shift, swing, grab, change arms when they began to feel tired, swing, grab.... Suddenly a shadow was cast over him and he looked up. Deimos was standing over the bar he was currently holding.
"Up?" was he up? Had he made it?
"Or strip poker," Chao murmured, the picture of innocence as she said it.

Deimos nodded and offered a clawed hand to help Reid up to the final rung. "Up, but you not done." He said witha michevous grin and he set of across themonkey bars swinging from one to the other, stopping halfway, wavinf at Reid to coem and finishing the journey. "Now across!"
"Hell yes!" Jizzy said doing a little jig in her seat. SHe got a mental picture of Rico taking of his shirt and her cheeks flushed. SHe coughed and poured them both some more lemonade. "Yah.. I mean.. I love poker.."

Reid sighed and hung his head, oh yes, they had to get across the other bars. Bah.
Still, aftering taking a deep breath he began to slowly follow until he'd found the rythem again and managed to make it to Deimos without falling.
Chao laughed at the impromtu jig and sipped at her lemonade, "I really hope that jig was inspired by, oh, say, my brother rather than my son."

Deimos grinned. "Almost done.." He said and began to descned the other side of the monkey bars, but got lazy haflway and simply jumped off.
Jizzy's cheeks flushed an even deeper red and she gave a quiet nod. "It's silly of me isn't it, right?" SHe said, as if to confirm her affinity with the teen was just silly.

Not in the mood to have another meeting between his rump and the ground Reid continued to swing until the last rung and then let go, landing shakily on his feet with a grin.
Chao slung an arm around Jizzy's shoulder, "of course not! After all, he is my twin so I can't blame you for being so taken with him."

Deimos nodded and ruffled up Reid's hair in approval. "See those arm good for something." He said and began to climb up the rungs again. "Now we go again, one last time." He said and waited for Reid at the top once more.
Jizzy chuckled and nodded. "True. I mean, how could someone not like a person with all the awesomeness of Chao." SHe said smiling, still rather exited over the prospect of strip poker.

Reid hung his head, both at the hair ruffle [why was everyone so intent on doing that?!] and at the fact that he had to do the silly thing again. Giving his arms a look he threw a look over at his Mu, as if asking if he really had to do it.
"Common honey! Practice makes perfect!" Chao cheered, laughing at the look Reid gave her as he began to make his ascent again. "All the awesomeness? No, he just has my good looks and charm."
Even though he was being quite careful Reid still managed to make it to Deimos much faster than before. He paused, taking a few breaths then continued on past on towards the other side.

Deimos went ahead, reaching the other side a bit faster. He'd been along these things plenty of times. He beamed at Reid, occasionally saying things like "Go Reid." or "You do it!" or "If you can't you a scalywag!!" or other such motivational phrases.
Jizzy chuckled at Reid's antics. 'Deimos is like the Mishap drill sergeant. You want a sandwhich?" SHe said, digging into a large bag which contained the sandwhiches she'd made.

Reid nearly lost his holding when Deimos suddenly yelled, but regained it after a moment of flailing and quickly regaining the rythem between his limbs.
Finally he was on the last one and dropped back into the sand, "di't!" he exclaimed, looking back at the monkey bars and grinning in triumph.
"He is, isn't he? You did great luff!" Chao called towards her son, earning a beaming smile and a wave of two arms. "And a sandwich would be great. Come on over you two!" Chao called, stood and wandered about for a moment, grabbing several fairly small, but sturdy looking branches, "hey Jizzy, mind if we used some of the tupperware for a little experiment?"

Deimos rushed over to Jizzy, plopping down on the sheet.
Jizzy nodded and began to take out the sandwhiches, each in thier own little tupperware. She handed one with meat to Deimos and he began to scarf it down. Taking a ham and cheese one for herself she handed the two empty tupperwares to Chao, along with two that did contain sandwhiches.

Reid followed a bit more slowly, yawning slightly and shaking out his arms.
"Ra?" he asked, looking up curiously as his Mu gave him a happy hug and steered him over towards the tupperware that had been lain out and then handed him the sticks. "Mu?" he questioned, eying the tupperware and the sticks in his hands in turn.
"Go on Reid," Chao encouraged and sat down next to Jizzy.
Reid pursed his lips and tapped one of the tupperware containers curiously. Oh, hello, that was different! With a wide grin he sat down and began to tap at each of them in turn, shifting from one arm to the other and slowly quickening his pace.
Occassionally he'd forget about one limb, or two limbs would crash into one another, but he was able to gradually make it all fall back into the haphazardly formed rythm he was making with the hollow sounding beats.

But soon he stop for a strange feeling took over him. First it started as a small tingle in his hands, but it rapidly spread over his entire body
Then it changed into a sharp, but short, pain that hit all his cells at once. But as suddently as it started, it faded away
But something was different. He could feel new tingly sensations, but this time not from his body but the air around him. Concentrating a bit he realised it was all coming through his feelers
When he moved one of his arms to touch them, he saw they were now longer than before. He gave a better look at his body and noticed his legs and wings had also grown

Xiao Ling The playground
"Mama, I want slide!"
"Okay, okay. Just wait. We're nearly there."
With Kunjiro on her back whining loudly for slides, Xiao Ling walked briskly towards the playground and put him on the slides. He was enjoying them at first, but soon he got a feeling that his head was spining and was not happy with it. He called to his mother, but she was fast asleep on a bench to bother him. "Bah," he said, crawling towards the sandbox. He went into it soon after and found out that he was sandy all over. "Boo," he cried as he went out, crawling towards his mother and tugged at her pants, expecting her to play with him soon.
With Kunjiro's tug, Xiao Ling woke up in a jump, wondering who was doing that. Turning down, she saw Kunjiro with sands all over him and quickly clean him up. "Kunjiro, you're sandy all over!" she said.
(( please, everyone feel free to join ^^ ))
"Don't run away, Brown! Wait up!"
Rex feigned a frustrated moan as the bunny bounded off again, but in reality he was enjoying the chase. The same could be said with his conjoined twin, who, even though was facing the wrong direction, could feel adrenaline seeping into him from his 'human' twin.
Brown, the rabbit, paused once more and groomed itself for a short while, before hopping off again, this time in the direction of Kunjiro and his guardian. Rex gave chase, and soon found himself before the two. He stopped and bent over, gasping for breath. Boy, chasing a rabbit was certainly different than chasing a duck.
"K-kunji! F-fancy... meeting... h-here!" The child said, between gaspfuls of breath. "A-and.. Kunjiro-guardian." Rex straightened up, taking a mighty big breath and letting it out slowly. "How.. are you?"
