Not only was the apartment clean, but it was also organized, probably adding to Zac's troubles in the house. In the living room, the room that they just happened to be at the time, one could find some of life's necessities, including a couch to sleep on and a television. The television was near the middle of the left wall, across from the couch. In front of the couch was the coffee table and Kami. There was an end table on each side of the couch and next to one of the doors opposite the entrance. It was, all and all, rather plain and normal. Kami pointed to each clear end table, or in other words, all but the far end table next to the couch, which had a lamp on it. "Any of these will work. I don't spend much time in this room, so it doesn't matter to me."

"Heehee!" All Zac could do was giggle with delight. She chose one of the end tables and ran over to it, though to her which end table she chose didn't matter. With a light brush of her hand she dusted it off then worked at opening the doll box with the bent packaging. When her wrestling match with another inanimate object was done the two dolls were free and rested gently on the table. Zac beamed and glanced over her dolls once more. "Yep, that's perfect. I think that it's going to be great having these dolls, don't you Kami?"

"If you don't break them, yes," Kami mumbled, mainly to herself, as she began to open her own treasure. She was slower and more careful than Zac at this; she did not want to mess up anything that she bought, just in case she planned to use it later. She had finally opened the top with precise care when she finally started speaking to Zac again, "Be careful with dolls, Zac. Don't do anything that may harm them. Got that? I don't want something I spent money on broken. Don't try to feed them, either. They're dolls." Kami reached her hand in and pulled the porcelain doll out. It stared at her with its cold eyes, and she stared back. She blinked, losing the contest. She then turned the doll to face Zac. Grinning, she said, "I rather like this doll's expression. What do you think?"

Zac gave Kami's doll a cursory glance. "Mmm-hmm, it's real nice." It wasn't until she looked at it a second time that shivers seemed to inch all the way down her spine. "It looks like it's... plotting something..." She turned her attention back over to her twins. "The boy looks so happy... but the girl looks a bit sad... I wonder why?" In an attempt to cheer the doll up, Zac reached out and stroked her solemn, pale face. "I think we should give them names."

Kami carefully sat her doll back onto the table. Her expression quickly changed then, from fairly happy to annoyance. "Names? They're dolls!" Then she stopped. Yes, they were dolls, but maybe names weren't a bad idea... For one, Zac may take better care of something if she can actually give it a name. The best reason, though, is the fact that Kami could complain about them to herself and her own doll while using their correct names. It would make things a while lot easier on her. "I think I will call mine Yoru, then," she thought aloud. She took another quick look at her own creepy little doll. She pulled on its little hat a bit so she could get a better look at its eyes. She really liked those eyes. "Yes, Yoru will be his name."

The beautiful silver hair of her dolls reminded Zac of snow. Not that beautiful blue snow you see in her Durem home in the winter... more of the grey snow you see in the industrious Aekea. "I'm gonna name her Kori... you know, for snow. She then looked at the boy doll staring back at her with emerald green eyes. "And you'll be Tsurara, for ice." She seemed satisfied with her choice of names. "There, I'm sure Tsurara, Kori, and Yoru will be the best of friends!" A thought then crossed Zac's mind. "Yipes! I'm late for a blind date the landlord set me up on! I gotta go!" Bending down to hug her two dolls with the up most care Zac made sure to coo an extra-sweet goodbye to the both of them. "Bye Kori. Bye Tsurara." Before leaving she gave a quick wave-of-the-hand goodbye to Kami and Yoru. "Seeya later!" With that Zac left, and the strange adventure of acquiring the dolls came to a pause.

Babbling
"Kori, your hair is starting to get so pretty! I mean, look at it! It's so soft and long." Zac's fingers gently combed through the doll's silver hair. The little porcelain wonder was nestled inside of the crook of her "Mommy's" arm as Zac cooed sweet words over and over to her. Tsurara was on the ground with his little OMG hat positioned in his hands. Even if she knew their value, Zac still couldn't help "playing" with them. They were so important to her. This was her daily routine now, Kami would leave for work and Zac would sneak over to take care of the dolls. Yoru was laid out right next to Tsurara and it seemed as if their little grooming sessions were over. As the cheery girl finished up with her last customer she gave a quick grin. "There, I offically declare Zac's salon closed for the day!"

There was a scrape at the front door as a key slid into the keyholea, some grumbling, and then the door simply opened, revealing an annoyed and tired Kami. She took the key out and replaced it back into her pocket. She threw a her black book bag to the floor before coming in. Then, she shut and locked the door. "I'm home... And it seems you're here, too...again. And you didn't lock the door...again." A few moments later Kami collapsed on the couch, still grumbling, "Work was-," she stopped for a second, to think of a phrase appropriate for Zac, "-not fun today."

Zac smiled at her friend. "Then why don't you quit, silly? I mean, why work at a boring place if all your gonna do is complain?" She then paused for a moment before continuing. "Wait... where do you work anyways Kami?" Zac did not seem to understand the fact that normal people had to work to get money so they could live a normal life with food, clothes, and shelter. She was deemed "unfit to work" by the Durem city council and therefore gets a big, hefty welfare check in the mail every month.
While Zac was babbling on, Tsurara had started to move on his own. His movements were jerky and seemed like those of a robot. He tried to open his mouth, but his doll joint were way to stiff for him to do so.
In fact, it was Kori who was able to successfully say something, but she waited until Zac set her down on the floor next to the other two. Surprised at being abandoned, the tiny doll's eyes fluttered open to show new life and her tiny voice squeeked an eerie, "Momma."
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Zac was screaming and trying to climb onto the couch with Kami. "Kami! Kami! Kami! Kori just talked! She just friggin' talked to me!" If Zac started to resort to almost-cursing then it meant she was really angry or spooked, this time being the latter.

Kami jumped off the couch, not because of the doll, but because of Zac. Zac and her meds are quite scary. She caught the lamp as is slowly started to fall over then moved it back to its spot. She raised an eyebrow, looked at Zac and her worried expression, and said, "Dolls don't talk." She put it bluntly, and emotionless, so that Zac would understand. Even after a week she couldn't get it through Zac's jumbled head that doll are inanimate objects that don't talk back. Kami didn't hear the stupid girl-doll talk. Then again, she wasn't paying attention, but, still, logic rules the possibility out.

Kori took a deep breath, which was very difficult since she had no lungs, and tried to make her Momma hear her. "MOMMA!"
Zac climbed up even further on the couch. "Dolls don't talk huh? Yeah, and I bet you want to say Foofurall isn't real either!" She then slide off when Kori called her a second time. Even though she was as scared as hell, she scooped her baby into her arms and cuddled her close. Before two long (more like five seconds) Zac was cuddling both Tsurara and Kori and baby-talking them just like before.

Kami may be able to ignore the obvious, but that, that she heard. "That's-that's not normal. But it's SO COOL!" Kami yelled, becoming hyper, almost hyper as her best friend. Kami leaped over the couch, knocking the coffee table a bit to the side, and peered over Zac's shoulder. She mumbled something to herself and watched Zac cradle her babies. She glanced at Yoru, but he was still the same inanimate object as before, except with better hair, which confused Kami for a second, until she just shrugged it off.

"It's not cool, it's creepy!" Zac was complaining about how scary it was, yet there she was cuddling and stroking the haunted dolls. "Hey, I wonder if Yoru can talk?" She was staring down at Tsurara the entire time she was talkin, crestfallen that he had not uttered a word yet.
But then, Tsurara finally moved his joints enough to get them to work somewhat correctly. "Yoru." Zac hugged her little dolls close to her as she gave them a dangerously tight hug. Her smile was that of a proud mother's. "See Kami, both my dolls can talk! And he even knows Yoru." It never occured to Zac that Tsurara may have been mimicking her words.
Also, she hoped that her talking angels would distract Kami from giving Yoru a close inspection. During her salon during the day Zac decided that Yoru's eyes didn't match his hair well enough so she colored them over with a red marker. She knew Kami would be upset, but at least he looked so much better afterwards!

"If it's so creepy, why are you hugging them? And don't break them, Zac, or I will...actually, I don't know what I'd do..." Kami trailed off as she began to mumble something to herself what was, most likely, gibberish, or possible her own language or code, but it meant something to her, at least. She puit her small hand around her little doll's hips, then, slowly picked it up. She watched its motionless gaze, its still body, and its empty head, which was, she thought, probably about as empty as the drugged-up Zac's. She sat the doll back down on the end table, making sure not to damage him. She turned her attention back on the other dolls. "What...is happening with your dolls...?"

"Nothing much. Kori's tugging on my hair, and Tsurara is having some trouble moving. Other than that I think they're pretty normal!" The little Kori doll was tugging on her mother's hair for attention, and Tsurara was just trying to climb over to the coffee table. Of course, Zac wasn't about to let her little scamp of a doll go exploring just yet. She took him and set him down on the floor, along with Kori. "Why are they moving?"
