POV: Ceri
At Deitsae's for the night..
Ceri was squirming in her guardian's arms- it sounded like a strange gathering was going on in another room in the house. There was someone singing the ABC's, a dog, a cat and someone counting! It sounded like a fantastic party, and she was determined to see all of them. But when she was set down, she spotted Myze.
'Myze!' she squealed, going over to her twin and pulling at her arm, not noticing the quick hug from their guardian and that Myze's eyes followed her as she retreated, 'Did you see the lady with the blue hair? Isn't it neat! There's only one of her though. What happened to the others?'
Her rambling is interrupted by the door shutting and a sudden greeting from the Sae.
"Hey Ceri," the blue haired woman waved to her. Ceri smiled brightly, her hand still clutching Myze, she waved her free hand at her once more. She liked this person; she was nice and brightly colored. Ceri looked back at Myze, who was watching as the blue haired woman went to check on the noise in the living room.
"Let's go somewhere more comfortable than the floor," Briar said.
'Come on!' Ceri chided Myze happily, pulling at her arm to help out as Briar lead them into the living room and towards a comfortable chair away from the commotion with the yellow dragon and the purple dragon. After she was seated on the chair, snuggled into Briar, Ceri started pulling at his mane.
'Fluffy!' she murmured, pulling at it. Briar turned his head, smiling at her- her pull wasn't too bad, she had learned to be gentle. The way his long ears wiggled when his head turned caught her attention; she giggled and started pulling at them. He was soft, alive and didn't complain about being pulled at.
Next thing Ceri new, the blue haired woman was putting a black rectangle into some larger rectangle and a square on top of the whole thing had lit up. She gasped and reached over to Myze, 'Look at that!' She pointed to the TV; there were the beginning credits of what seemed to be a very bright and cheerful movie. Briar shifted at her side, but Ceri was entranced by a pretty girl dancing across the screen..
*
Though there was an argument going on between the two young dragons ('Tabby,' the purple one was called) Ceri paid no attention, she was rambling on to Briar about how great the movie had been, though she did not understand what the heck the bright thing that had shown the story to her was.
'Did you see the part where those guys all came? And that girl was all- but then that other guy went- and he-' she went on, babbling to Briar until he suddenly got up and was helping her and Myze off of the chair.
"Dinner time," he explained to her.
Dinner was a very amusing time; Ceri went on trying to explain how much she liked the movie while Myze listened very attentively. When her noodles were placed in front of her, she poked at them before tasting them- they weren't as good as those other ones Ecavi had given them, these were so plain!
'They're plain!' she exclaimed, looking at the blue haired woman, 'Sae' as she had found out. But she glanced back at Myze and decided to just go on with her story and eat what she had, the long rambling story distracting her from any attempts Sae made to decipher what she had tried to tell her about the noodles.
*
It was later in the evening and Briar was lying with the girls in the living room once more. Myze had found some book, and had brought it with her to the chair. Ceri paid no attention to the fact Myze was reading, and started singing a song about all the interesting things around the living room, in her most beautiful singing voice.
'Bright, shiny square thing that tells stories is fun, and tells stories,' she sang, 'but lamp makes it not dark and night-y time! And pictures on the wall but don't fall off 'cause they're magic or somethin'..' Her song continued, until she glanced out the window in search of more things to sing about. Realizing it was night time she turns to Myze. She didn't even hear Briar say that Jasmine would go to bed first, and hadn't noticed when the dragon and Sae had gone by.
'Is it bedtime?' Ceri questioned Myze, who nodded. Briar, luckily enough, decided to take this opportunity to take them to bed. He leapt off the chair and helped Ceri down first, then Myze. Ceri followed after Briar, getting tired.
She was almost instantly wide awake again when they entered the room. She'd forgotten how interesting the room was! With a quiet giggle, she headed for the little beds in the corner- they looked like they were about their size! The bunny that was at dinner must sleep here. She didn't bother wondering why there was more than one bed, and immediately picked up a pair of blue slippers that were at the foot of one of the beds.
'Oooh,' she murmured, 'soft shoes!'
Sudden the slippers were taken from her pale hands by some yellow paws. Briar had stopped her from playing with the slippers, and was ushering her over to the bed that Myze was reading on.
"Goodnight," he said as he helped the thule onto the bed. Ceri wiggled on the mattress- it was so bouncy! But the squeekat was obviously leaving, so she waved to him as he left- continuing her wave even after he had fully left the room. After a good minute of waving, she got off of the mattress in the middle of the room and headed for the beds in the corner of the room once more- determined to play with those fuzzy shoes again.
She got halfway to the beds when she was distracted by the strange pattern on the floor, and following a mysterious dot path she found herself by the makeshift bed set up beside the makeshift bed Myze had claimed for them. Beside it was the bag that Ecavi had set down. And it was open! She giggled and went over to the bag, digging through it. Inside of the bag she found a bunch of blankets, one of them was the starry one Myze had, and the other one that Ecavi had been letting her use. She frowned, gathering up the blankets and walking over to Myze.
''cavi's coming back, right?' Ceri asked her sister, sitting down and holding out the blanket to her. She looked between the blankets, it was something of a before and after reminder of being abandoned. She watched as Myze pushed away her book and took the blanket from her.
'Of course,' her sister reassured her. It was that simple to calm Ceri down; she yawned and lay down on the bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep cuddled up against her sister.

POV: Myze
At Deitsae's for the night..
Myze watched quietly as Ecavi headed for the door, ignoring Ceri pulling at her arm for a moment. After she was beginning to trust that woman, she was suddenly left at the strange blue haired woman's house? She looked on either side of her, Briar was there, and so was Ceri- certainly she wasn't getting rid of all of them. She finally looked back at Ceri, who was rambling on cheerfully to her.
She could hear the strangest sounds coming from the living room, where Jasmine had been led by a smaller purple dragon- it sounded like a barn full of animals that knew numbers and the alphabet had be let loose in there. The sounds had started mostly as counting, and didn't sound as loud and strange- but now it was just awful sounding.
Myze watched as the blue haired woman went by to check on the two dragons. Though not keen on being in the same room as the others, she allowed herself to be ushered into the room by Briar (though not without a tug and a mental 'come on!' from Ceri.)
"Let's go somewhere more comfortable than the floor," Briar said, leading them to the living room. Myze allowed herself to be helped onto a chair in the living room, out of the way of some trouble the yellow dragon had caused. She watched silently as the blue haired woman interrogated Jasmine about what had happened.
"Not fun!" The dragon had declared of the other, claiming her to be confusing. It was mildly interesting, as her only other option would be to watch Ceri pull at Briar's ears and tail while babbling to him. She watched as the yellow dragon left the room, followed by the blue haired woman. Her violet eyes turned on the purple dragon still sitting by the little machine that had made the strange counting animal sounds- she didn't look very happy, and soon got up and went behind the couch.
It didn't take long for Jasmine and the blue haired woman to come back; and, after some panic, find the purple dragon behind the couch. Next thing Myze new, Ceri was pulling at her arm..
'Look at that!' Ceri instructed, pointing to the TV, which was now lit up and playing to beginning credits to a movie. Myze could feel Briar shift on the other side of Ceri, arranging himself so that he could watch without blocking the view of the aduthule. A princess danced across the screen, the setting very bright and cheerful- it reminded Myze of Ceri, the only thing she ended up liking about the movie.
*
After the movie, Myze watched as Jasmine broke the video and started another little spat with the purple dragon; who she learned was named 'Tabby.' Both amused and irritated by the commotion caused by the two dragons, she was pleased when the blue haired woman, 'Sae,' announced that they would be eating dinner. It was clearly an attempt to help the dragons forget their argument.
Dinner went well, but was a very long ordeal for the night thule. Ceri babbled much of the time, and Myze focused her attention mostly on her twin while she ignored any other attempts at conversation with her. The noodles caused some fuss with Ceri, who told Sae they were 'pan.' Myze, without a word, managed to coax her into eating and not complaining- so Ceri went on with her story while occasionally eating a noodle.
*
It was later in the evening and Briar was lying with the girls in the living room once more. Myze had found a rather technical book when they had returned to the living room, and had taken it with her. Listening to Ceri sing tunelessly about random objects around the living room, Myze looked through the book.
"We'll let Jasmine get to bed first," Briar explained. Myze thought this was rather silly, thinking the dragon girl would simply just go to sleep- though she was proven wrong when Jasmine and Sae reappeared, heading for the kitchen.
'Is it bedtime?' came Ceri's questioning voice, Myze nodded her reply. Briar, luckily enough, decided to take this opportunity to take them to bed. He leapt off the chair and helped Ceri down first, then Myze. Myze followed after him still clutching the book, glancing at the door on their way by- Ecavi would be back in the morning, the blue haired woman 'Sae' had mentioned that.
They were led into a small room, with two air mattresses in the middle. Myze looked over the beds; one was messed up while the other was still neatly made. She walked over to the neater bed and sat down to open the book again, there was enough light right now, as long as Briar didn't turn it off on his way out.
"Goodnight," Briar said, leading Ceri away from something near the two small beds in the corner. Myze swayed on the inflatable mattress as Ceri was plunked gently beside her, the mattress bouncing more as Ceri waved energetically to the squeekat on his way out the door.
Myze glanced up from her book as the mattress continued to bounce; Ceri was getting up and heading back to the small beds. With a soft sigh, she looked back at the book. She finished leafing through a section on how a calculator works just as Ceri had returned to their own bed carrying two blankets- one of them Myze recognized as her own starry blanket. She closed the book and pushed it away.
''cavi's coming back, right?' Ceri asked her sister, sitting down and holding out the blanket to her.
'Of course,' Myze replied, taking the blanket from the day thule. Ceri smiled and yawned, taking her own blanket and curling up at Myze's side. Myze stayed expressionless and curled up with her sister, drifting off to sleep only minutes before Sae returned from the kitchen with a calmed Jasmine.

 Quote: Dear Journal, Well, we're all moved into the house. It took an evening and a day, but we're all here. I've still got a lot to unpack, but the essentials are out. I made sure to set up Jasmine's room and Myze and Ceri's room before I went to collect them. They aren't very fancy yet, but I intend to get their help decorating their own rooms, you know? Atleast, I intend to get the paint out and try to bond a little with Myze and Ceri. Sae informed me that the babysitting went well. Apparently Jasmine broke a video they watched, though- which caused something between her and Tabby, again. I have to talk to Jasmine about this kind of thing, and add the video to my list of things to replace (along with Sunny's stethoscope.) She can't keep doing these kinds of things; I know she doesn't mean to, but if I don't say anything about it then she'll just get worse, right? Tabby is the only person she's met that's her own species and around her age, it's not good that she scares the poor thing. I was also informed that Jasmine was homesick. I guess that doesn't surprise me, considering she'd slept in my bed since I adopted the egg she hatched from. I wasn't surprised when she snuck into my room last night, either. She'll get used to having her own room soon, though. I know she will. Briar informed me that Ceri and Myze were well behaved as well. I guess, at least, they didn't break anything. Though I found a book that doesn't belong to me (or them) in the bag I sent with the girls. It must belong to Sae; it certainly looks like something she'd own. Oh well, I still have some unpacking to do. - Ecavi

RP over AIM; Koko-Tokei in grey.
It'd been a couple days since the move, and with things settling in better Ecavi had decided it was a good idea to go visit Koko. There were many reasons- Koko'd probably appreciate being informed on change of address, she still needed to see Jasmine, and she, Ri and Kat probably didn't know she'd adopted Ceri and Myze yet. So everyone was going for a walk North of Barton, heading east of Bass'ken Lake.
Jasmine walks at one side of Ecavi, excited after being told she'd be meeting this 'Koko' person. She trusts Ecavi when she says that she's fun, and that she (Jasmine) will like her. Myze walks along just ahead of Ecavi, pleased that the sky has some clouds in it that stop the sun from glaring directly at her, with her hair in a braid once more. Ceri walks along at Myze's side, babbling non-sensically to her twin.
They all eventually reach Koko's house, and Ecavi cautiously knocks at the door- recalling her last visit caused something to break..
This time, there was no crashing sound, no little screech of falling over abandoned toys. The house was calmer than usual, which, in its own way was kind of unsettling. Instead, there was just the trotting of several pairs of feet, before one stopped right in front of the door. The door was opened, quickly, and there was Koko, donning her new apron. She blinked slightly, noting the gathering at her door, but smiled anyway.
"Didn't expect anyone to be coming over today. But, hey 'cavi!" She smirked. Her eyes were darting across the other figures, a tad confused, but one of them seemed familiar. The other two, she didn't know, but that was okay because she was bound to get and introduction.
Ecavi listens as the steps head towards the door, wondering vaugely if she was at the wrong house before Koko opened the door. She gives a small, awkward laugh, "I'm sorry, I should have called first!" She smiles and watches as Koko looks over the little group around her, "I just thought that we'd drop by.."
Jasmine tilts her head up to look at Koko, her ears turning slightly- there was something about the voice. She smiles at the strange person, and greets her cheerfully, "Hello!" Myze does her best to look at the whole form of Koko, keeping her face expressionless. Ceri waves energetically at Koko, even when her eyes are not on her, and just walks through the door, past Koko and into the house.
"Hey, Ceri- you can't- !" Ecavi exclaims, then murmurs an apology to Koko, "Sorry.."
"No, it's okay that you didn't call." Koko grinned. "We're always glad to have visitors, and I was just about to bake something.."
She tilted her head to the side a little, looking at Jasmine curiously. The colors were most definately similar to something she'd seen before, and it wouldn't hurt to ask. Before doing so, she waved happily at the entire group. "I'm wondering, 'cavi. It should be obvious, but I don't have the best memory here, so, that egg of yours hatched, right?" Koko ignored the apology, moving aside and motioning everyone to come in.
"While you're here, you can have some cookies or something! Watch out for the artifacts, there's only one.."
Ecavi smiles, laughing quietly at the question and ignored apology- Ceri probably wouldn't hurt anything that quickly. She glances down at Jasmine then back to Koko, "Well, yeah- the egg hatched, and it's already walking and talking.." She trails off and nods her head down to Jasmine, stepping into the house when Koko moves aside and turning to encourage Jasmine adn Myze to come in as well.
Jasmine blinks at Koko, still smiling, and walks into the house after Ecavi, "Oooh.." She looks around the entryway curiously, not noticing that Ceri has already made it out of sight. Myze enters the house last, keeping off to the side near a wall.
Ceri makes her way towards the kitchen, stopping only once or twice to look at something along the way~
"That figures, and I still haven't gotten her a gift. I'm really bad at this kind of thing," she said, scratching her head before closing the door behind her guests. She looked around a bit, wondering where everyone else went, but shrugged. And it seemed as if Ceri wasn't going to wait for the rest of the group. Koko didn't mind, as long as she didn't break anything.
"All right, so, tell me about the two small ones. When did you get them?" Koko poked at 'cavi playfully.
In the kitchen was Moriko, standing on a stool in front of some of the cabinets, removing different dishes and whatnot, seemingly helping Koko out. She didn't notice Ceri for the most part, muttering a couple phrases.
"Well- that's alright," Ecavi started.
"Gift?" Jasmine brightened, realizing they were talking about her.
"Er," Ecavi shakes her head, smiling, "I'd like to introduce you to Jasmine, then." Jasmine leans back to sit on her tail and wave once more at Koko. Myze takes a seat by the wall, looking up at Koko..
"Myze is this small one," She continued introductions, nodding to Myze, "And the one who wandered off is Ceri. I've had them for a little while, actually.." She trails off, not sure what to say or explain beyond that. Surely Koko would recognize what they were.
"Oooh," Ceri coos when she sees Ri handling dishes and saying something she didn't really catch, "Eboh!" She goes over to the organic thule and pokes her- this one clearly was a bigger version of whatever she was. And all the aduthule she'd met were nice..
Koko laughed a bit, "Well, it's nice to meet you two. I'd say the same for Ceri, but she probably wouldn't hear me." She looked a little more closely at Myze, and tried to think back on the appearance of the other one. They seemed to be exact opposites, just like her own 'thule, and she came to a conclusion. Thankfully, it was a smart one.
"Aduthule, of course." She smiled at her friend. "I have to admit, they're a cute pair."
"Hmm?" Moriko looked over her shoulder, setting down some of the dishes. She smiled brightly, jumping down from the stool. "Hi! Where'd you come from?" Must've had a visitor, then? Koko did go to the door, and that was probably it, but she didn't know who it could be.
Ecavi and Jasmine both beam at Koko, while Myze just gives her a calculating stare. Ecavi glances down the hallway, wondering for a moment where Ceri had gotten to, then looks back when Koko makes the connection, "Yes. And thank you. I thought they might like to meet Ri and Kat."
Jasmine looks around curiously, wanting to go look around..
"Ob theer wee av," Ceri babbles in response to Moriko's question, smiling brightly. She did look friendly! And she had a neat tail, too! A very neat tail. Ceri reaches out a pale hand and pulls gently at her tail, giggling.
"Oh, cool," Koko thought for a moment. "Kat and Ri should meet some more people. The latter is in the kitchen, and the former is probably in their room." She figured it would be okay if she went up to get her while 'cavi and company made themselves at home. Then it was settled! It would only take five minutes at most, seeing as Katana was always so indulged in her work.
"You guys go and do whatever, I'll go and get Katana." Without further thought, Koko walked off towards the staircase, leaving the group behind.
Moriko couldn't help but smile. "So I see. It's nice to have a visitor!" She didn't mind that Ceri was pulling at her tail, gentle as it was anyway. "What's your name? Oh, and do you want a cookie or something?" Moriko wouldn't move for the jar until she heard, or saw, the little one's answer.
'cavi beams, "Alright then- we'll go to the kitchen, then." She looks back down at Jasmine and Myze when Koko goes off to the staircase, "Ok you two- get moving." She nudged them both ahead of her and kept them on the right track towards the kitchen. Jasmine walks slowly, trying to get a good look around. Myze walks slowly as well, but mostly because she isn't too eager to meet these people.
Ceri releases Moriko's tail and waves enthusiastically, despite having already gone beyond greetings. She points to herself when asked for her name, "Em Ceri!" She gasps at the mention of a cookie and nods to Ri before deciding to make an attempt at finding these cookies herself. Mumbling inaudibly, she goes to the counter and starts trying to climb up drawer handles..
"Ceri? That's a nice name."
When Ceri started off to find the cookies, Moriko could've laughed, but seeing her climb up on the handles wasn't safe! The organic thule squeaked, grabbing the stool and quickly dragging it over. "No, you shouldn't do that, you might get hurt!" She sat the stool down with a thunk! and motioned to it. "It's better if you use this to get to high places, see?" Moriko looked worriedly at Ceri, hoping she would undstand and get down without having to force her. She really didn't know what to do.
Ceri stopped climbing, looking at Moriko and the stool she'd just set down. It was interesting, but for sitting on- what use was it in a search for cookies? Of course, it was a neat stool. She hops down from the first drawer handle- the farthest she'd managed, and starts trying to climb up the stool, babbling as she tries.
Ecavi, Jasmine and Myze come into the kitchen as Ceri starts making a little progress climbing the stool. Ecavi sighs when she sees Ceri, relieved she's not off somewhere else in the house and that Ri is right there with her, "Hey Ri!"
Jasmine sits down on the kitchen floor and mimics Ecavi, "Hay!"
Myze looks immediately to Ceri, and walks over to the bottom of the stool without acknowledging Moriko..
Moriko heaved a relieved sigh, because Koko had all sorts of things in those drawers, and she'd heard of bad things that could happen! She turned when she heard the voices, smilind again. "Aunt 'cavi! It's great to see you!" She didn't move from her spot, in case Ceri needed any help getting up the stool, but it looked like she was okay.
And then there was Jasmine, who she didn't know, but was obviously family to Aunt 'cavi. So Moriko waved at them, before noting Myze walking over. "Hello there!" She chirped, sitting down to get a better look at her. This other thule was very pretty, she thought.
"It's wonderful to see you too, Ri," Ecavi beamed, walking closer to the stool Ceri was almost to the top of, "What's going on here?" Ceri, clinging to a leg of the stool, looks down at Myze from her spot and waves to her twin cheerfully. Myze watches her warily, giving Moriko an apathetic glance when she greets her.
"I wouldn't expect her to say much," 'cavi says, "Her name is Myze."
Ceri, still waving to Myze with one hand, finally loses her grip on the leg of the stool and begins to fall with a startled screech.
"When I asked her if she wanted a cookie, she bolted off. I guess she wantd to find them on her own, so I got the stool for her to stand on." Moriko nodded simply, glancing over at the twins again. Myze reminded her of Katana, in a way. She didn't say much, except Myze was fairly young, so that was expected, but Ceri spoke more than her twin did. And Katana normally just looked at things and analyzed them.
She didn't know if that was what Myze was doing, but it was close enough.
"Wahh!" When Ceri started to fall, Moriko had little time to react. The organic thule hopped up onto her knees and held out her arms to catch her. She really hoped Myze or Ceri wouldn't hate her for this, if Ceri was hurt, because it was an accident and she didn't think it would happen and.. Where was Katana when you needed her?!
Ecavi shakes her head as Ri explains what Ceri had done, it certainly sounded like the little thule. Always trying to do something, or several things at once..
Myze turns her head sharply when she realizes that Ceri is falling, realizing it before any of the others though not really reacting. She watches as Ceri falls with a soft flump into the brown thule's arms, she sighs mentally- knowing that her twin is alright. She looks back up at the thule Ecavi had been calling 'Ri,' deciding maybe she wasn't so bad.
Ceri curls into a ball, even after she's landed safely in the arms of the nervous Moriko. She peeks out from one of her arms and up at the organic thule, suddenly giggling about the whole thing. Even if she had fallen, it wouldn't have hurt too much- but now that someone had caught her it seems most amusing.
Both Ecavi and Jasmine had watched with wide eyes, neither close enough to act though Ecavi certainly tries. Very relieved when Ri catches Ceri, 'cavi lifts a hand to her forehead, "Ooh! I should have expected that, thank you, Ri!"
Moriko sighed, sitting Ceri down next to her twin, smiling at 'cavi. "No problem. And maybe I should get the cookies, so we don't have anymore suprises?" She got up, dusting off her legs before climbing up the stool, pulling the cookie jar close enough so she could look into it. There were a few left. Good! Just about enough to share with everyone else before Koko started making her new treat.
The sound of sneakers across the floor grabbed her attention, realizing Koko was back. "Alright, I'm back! With company. Sorry it took so long.." She trailed off, looking around the kitchen. Maybe it was better if she didn't ask, she thought, before walking over to the dishes Ri had set out.
Katana hadn't bothered to say or do much of anything, just walking behind Koko. And, what was this? More people. She didn't really look at them, but she knew they were there, and so the mech waved slightly while looking through one of her books.
"That's probably a good idea," Ecavi says, looking down to Ceri next, "You have to be more careful, Ceri." She shakes her head, glancing over at Jasmine who has been sitting and watching, strangely enough. She smiles and looks back at Ri, who is getting cookies, "Oh, and the dragon over there is Jasmine.."
"Hello!" Jasmine says cheerfully, looking over when Koko comes into the kitchen followed by a strange shiny person. She blinks and repeats herself, "Hello!"
Ceri giggles to herself when she is set down, watching Moriko intently until Koko comes back into the room- at which point she begins to wave again. Myze looks from the organic thule to the woman who'd answered the door, her eyes looking past Koko to the shiny thule that followed her..
"Hello, Kat," Ecavi says, smiling at Koko and Katana..
Moriko reached into the cookie jar, taking out one, two, three, four.. Four cookies for their guests. She smiled. There were more left, but she figured one cookie for each of them would suffice for now. She withdrew her arm from within the jar, and easily hopped off of the stool, first offerring the treats to Ceri and Myze.
"Well hi, Jasmine! Nice to meet you," Moriko chirped. It seemed as if the organic thule was back to her happy, buzzing self once again. Koko just smiled waving once again at them. They sure liked to greet people alot, didn't they?
Katana looked up from her book. "Oh! Aunt 'cavi, sorry, I didn't know it was you." She wasn't paying attention when Koko said who their visitor was, because she was trying to read. She'd just given up on being left along and decided to go along after the first few minutes of badgering. "How've you been..?"
Ceri murmurs a strange sounding thank you as she takes the cookie offered to her, while Myze just stares for a moment. With a glance from Ceri, Myze reaches out a long hand and takes the cookie silently- Ceri murmurs another strange thank you on behalf of her sister, and begins to ear her cookie.
"Who you?" Jasmine asks, watching Moriko hand cookies to the littler aduthule.
"Oh, I've been fine," 'cavi replies merrily, "What about you? What was it you were working on? A- a- vacuum?"
Moriko grinned, happy that the treat wasn't rejected. She started puttering over to Jasmine and 'cavi with the two other cookies, holding out them out. "Hm? Oh, I'm Moriko. If you want, you can call me Ri."
"I've been well, thanks." Katana blinks a bit. "Yeah, a vacuum. Nothing all too impressive, but the museum needs some cleaning. I was planning on going there sometime to test it out.." She decided not to ask who the other two aduthule were. Her sister would be babbling for who knows how long about them after they were gone. Not a detail would be missed, she was sure.
"Thanks again for the books, they really helped." Katana just blurted it out, because of the lack of anything else to say, or do.
Jasmine reaches out and takes the cookie from Moriko, her smile widening, "Thankyou, Ri!" She wastes no time biting into the cookie from the thule, turning her gaze to the one called Koko- still trying to figure out what it was about her that was familier.
"Well, I wouldn't be able to make a vacuum- so I certainly am impressed," 'cavi nods, "Of course, it's not unexpected."
She accepts the cookie with a smile and nod at Ri, "Thank you, Ri. I'm glad the books were helpful, Kat." She turns back to look at Ri once more, her sentences beginning to sound odd as she states who she's talking to each time, "What about your garden, Ri? Any better?"
"Well, I work fast. There might be some things wrong with it." Katana didn't want to think about having to work on it again, but if it turned out that way, there wasn't much she could do.
Moriko shrugged, "I think it's doing better. Since Mr. Mantis got rid of the bug and everything." It was looking greener, atleast, and that was always good. She wasn't going to try and grow anything else in it just yet, so she could make sure that the other plants were doing well.
Meanwhile, Koko had been messing around with some cake mix or whatever. She'd only made a cake once, and it looked like a lopsided disaster. "Hey, 'cavi, do you know how to make a cake?" Koko scratched her head. When it came to cupcakes, muffins, cookies and other things like that, she had no problem! And she had all the right equipment..
Finishing her cookie, Ceri gets to her feet and starts to head for the door back into the hallway. Myze just watches, holding her cookie, from by the stool.
Ecavi nods to Kat, then again at Ri, "So it was bugs- hopefully it'll get better." She gives the organic thule an encouraging smile, then looks over at Koko, "Cake? Not from scratch.. I barely know what goes into most baking." It was true- flour and sugar were sure things. And baking powder.. or soda. Salt- though it didn't sound much like an ingredient for sweets. These things are why she appreciated most mixes.
Jasmine, finishing her cookie and giving up on figuring out the person with the cake mix, looks around the kitchen getting bored. She looks towards Ecavi, "Mum, want to play!"
Koko sighed. This was going to take a while, wasn't it?
When Moriko heard that Jasmine wanted to play, she immediately suggested they go to the backyard. Plenty of space to do stuff, and there were probably some toys laying around somewhere. And as long as no one else was out there, it'd be fine. "I'm pretty sure there's something to do there. It's not as boring as it is being in here, right Katana?"
"I guess so." Katana was indifferent about the subject. She was normally in her tool shed anyway.
Ecavi laughs, "Well- that sounds alright. What do you think, Jasmine?" She looks down at the yellow dragon, who nods- atleast there would be other stuff outside. Chairs and counters were less interesting than most anything outdoors. Ceri, who'd been on her way to the hall, stop and goes over to Ecavi, poking at her knee.
"Mehto!" Ceri exclaims, though not verbally clear one can judge by the current conversation that she would like to go outside as well. Myze stays indifferently on the floor by the counter and the stool, still just holding her cookie.
"Think you could handle them, girls?" Ecavi asks the older aduthule, feeling she should probably stay and help Koko out, "Jasmine's the only one that needs watching, she has a tendancy to.. eh.. break things." Jasmine chirps indignantly- she never means to break anything!

Quote: Dear Journal, I finally took Myze, Ceri and Jasmine all over to Koko's house. I figured she'd like to meet them, and find out that we moved. We didn't get to stay too long, but the girls all really seemed to like Ri. Ri even caught Ceri when she fell from a stool she was climbing- apparently trying to get cookies or something. They didn't get a chance to really meet Kat, though- which is a pity. Overall it was a good trip, we'll have to go visit them again. - Ecavi

Quote: Dear Journal, Not much time to write, but here goes. The girls and I went for a walk to the museum, in hopes of seeing some more aduthule there. Ceri has loved any encounters with other thule so far, and Myze hasn't been too bad. Anyway, we decided to take a look around since we were there- Ceri loves pointing out things in the museum, and I need to make sure she doesn't break anything. In one of the rooms we went into I noticed a strange formation of cards on the bulletin board. The pins were arranged in a heart, though some of the papers were gone. One of the cards was addressed to Ceri and Myze. Apparently there's a sleepover- and judging by the cards, everyone is invited. . My only concern is how they're going to do amonst all the others. Ceri's done alright, but Myze attacked one thule she met. Though she didn't seem to mind Moros, Ri or Kat. Hopefully she won't attack anyone, especially Raul if he's there.. I have to go get them ready and stuff, and chat with Myze.. - Ecavi

"Myze? Ceri?" Ecavi peeked into the living room, where Myze and Ceri were looking through a picture book- something Ceri had wanted to do, and Myze had agreed to just for her twin. Ceri ceased her babbling, a finger tapping something on the page opened before them, and looked up at her guardian with a smile. Myze's gaze followed her sister's, though her head did not move from the tilt towards the book.
"Do you want to come help me with your new room?" Ecavi asked with a smile. Ceri squeals in delight and abandons the book readily, scrambling off of the couch and over to the fairy. Myze took her time, closing the book and hopping off the chair carefully. That decided, they headed up the stairway and down the hall- taking their time the entire way since both aduthule insisted on going up the steps by themselves.
*
"Plan," Ceri blinked, when they entered the bedroom. The walls were white, and though the carpet was a dull, speckled blue it didn't make the room look any more exciting.
Ecavi only laughed when Ceri pointed out the bareness, "That's why we're here." She beamed and nudged a box to the right of the doorway with her foot, "We're going to paint the walls together. Try to brighten it up some." Ceri giggled and clapped her hands, while Myze just looked up at her guardian sceptically. Seeing as the girls were barely a foot high, it wouldn't necessarily be easy or fast- but it most certainly was something Ecavi thought they'd enjoy together.
Ecavi pulled the box from the wall beside them and started taking out large bundles of newspaper. Myze and Ceri both watched while she spread it out underneath one of the walls. Ceri watched only for a moment, and then went over to the box herself and started digging through all of the contents of the box. Inside it were several cans of soft colored paint! Ceri 'ooh'ed and pulled at a pale red can of paint.
"Wan!" She exclaimed excitedly, looking towards Ecavi.
"Hmm?" Ecavi finished spreading out the paper and looked back at Ceri with a smile, "Oh, you want to use that paint? Well, let's see." She went back over to the box and sat down on the floor, pulling out the cans of paint and lining them up, "Let's pick a color for your walls together."
"Red!" Ceri beamed, pulling at the pale red can of paint again. Myze stayed silent, and pointed to a can of blue paint. Normally the thule would just let Ceri pick, but she really didn't want to have the walls of their bedroom such a color. Ecavi bit her lip, looking back and fourth between the aduthule.
"Well," Ecavi thought about it, "I guess we could use both colors.. Yeah. You can both paint with your color, you're wall will be mixed." She smiled, and got out two paint trays to get the colors set out. Taking the trays and cans of paint over to the wall lined with newspaper, she opened the cans and poured the paint in. Ceri followed over eagerly, and Myze followed behind her.
"I'll get the brushes," Ecavi got back up and went to the box.
In the short amount of time they were left by the trays of paint, Ceri dipped both of her hands in them- one hand red, one hand blue. Giggling delightedly, she stepped over to the wall and started trying to finger paint. Myze just watched with a mental expression resembling disgust- there was no way she'd stick her hands in the paint.
"Ceri!" Ecavi exclaimed as she returned with some paintbrushes and sponges, "You're not supposed to paint walls with your hands." Before she could finish her sentence though, she started to laugh. Ceri looked shocked for a moment, but quickly got over it and returned to the trays to refill her hands.
"No, Ceri," Ecavi said, handing her a paintbrush, "Try this."
Ceri looked at the mysterious brush for a moment, and then dipped the whole thing and her hand in the red paint. Ecavi rolled her eyes, laughed and handed Myze another paintbrush, "Alright, let's get painting."
*
Between the three of them they got a fair bit of work done, though the girls needed help getting higher than about a foot and a half up the wall. Myze stuck to the blue paint, but Ceri switched back and fourth throughout the job so the walls ended up a funny looking blue-purple-red with the occasional handprint from Ceri. All of the walls took several days of work, but they managed it well enough. With the walls complete, a small bunk bed, among other furniture was put in the room- small furniture not something hard to come by for Ecavi since she had Noodle Animals living with her. Despite the bunk bed, Myze and Ceri shared the bottom bunk most of the time. But after getting their new room set up and decorated, they really started feeling more at home in their new life.

Sajhiri  SLUMBER PARTY!
Scattered a ways from the fire are several large tents, each one able to fit 4-6 Aduthule, filled with airmattresses, pillows, and sleeping bags. Each one has a battery-powered Coleman lantern to use for light.Sajhiri Notes:This party will occur ICly over the course of 1 day, but OOCly til Wednesday night or longer if folks wish to continue. Notable Occurences:None yet Sajhiri Sedare calmly arranged the items on the long table with a serene smile on her face. The silvery Thule was absorbed with tidying items and didn't even notice the expression of pure glee on her sibling's face. She carefully turned the pointed ends of the marshmallow roasing forks away from the edge of the table.Saevire skipped about from tent to tent, tossing pillows in. She'd worked on Sajhiri long and hard to get her to move the slumber part out of the girls' room, where her precious treasures might be compromised, to a yard camping event. She couldn't care less if flowers got trampled or the yard burned down, but she'd be darned if one of those babies would touch her pirate hat!Sajhiri finished doubling the ring of stones around the fire for safety purposes. "Girls! Your guests should be arriving soon." She smiled at the excitement of her daughters. Ecavi Ecavi was walking calmly towards the Silva Regia tower just outside Barton, as some streamers and laterns indicated this is where a party was going on. She carried a small overnight bag with her, and was leading the day and night aduthule along at a slow pace. The nearer the more she chattered nervously to them. "Myze," she said glancing at the night thule, "You have to remember what I said- you have to be good.." The night thule glanced up at her guardian, but remained expressionless. She'd been warned, what happened with that black and red thule who'd broken her hair pin had been an example of what not to do. Of course, she had no intention of being nice if he was there- it was his fault her hair was braided.
Myze turned her attention back to the building they were approaching. Despite her apathetic expression, she was a little frustrated- she didn't like being in groups, and that was obviously the plan for this thing. The only thing keeping her going was the possibility of seeing someone she knew, and didn't mind. Ceri skipped along beside Ecavi, overjoyed to be going somewhere- especially after her guardian had explained what was going on. She'd get to meet a bunch of new people, and that all she really cared about. Giggling occassionally along the way, she was too excited to notice the slight emotion coming from her twin. When they reached the tower, Ecavi nervously stepped up to the front door to knock. Sajhiri Hearing the knock, Sajhiri bustled off to the door to open it. "Welcome! I'm glad you could make it. The girls are outback, so come on through and feel free to leave your things in one of the tents. We decided to make it a camping type sleepover!" She gestured Ecavi, Myze and Ceri towards the french doors leading to the grounds out back where the campfire could be seen cheerily crackling. Ecavi "Hello," Ecavi greeted Sajhiri, "Sounds like fun." She smiled and stepped in and to the side so the girls could come inside and head for the backyard as well. Ceri gaped at the inside of the house- it was different from all the other houses she'd seen (as she was coming to realize about most houses.) She immediately wandered away from the expected direction towards something particularly shiny or special looking. Luckily, having visited people before, Ecavi expected this and caught her before she could harm anything. "No, Ceri," She murmured, picking up the day thule to take her outside. Ceri struggled in her guardian's arms, but soon settles for looking- until she'd led outside and spots the campfires, and tents. She gasped, starting to struggle once more. "Alright, alright," Ecavi laughed quietly, setting her down. Myze watched as Ceri went straight for one of the fires without noticing either of the aduthule that were also out there. She stepped off to the side, and just looked on. There were only a couple people there, she could avoid them all if she wanted to.Sajhiri Sedare made her way calmly over to get between Ceri and the fire. She smiled serenely at the day thule and her tail swished back and forth in a soothing rhythym. "Welcome to the party. Be careful of the fire...it''s hot. But we''ll toast marshmallows and hotdogs later when everyone gets here! Would you like some lemonade?" Saevire scowled a moment at the Thule trying to run to the fire. "Bloody crazed little bugger" she murmured before sizing up the darker thule. She leapt over and perched on a log, her eyepatch and cutlass locked in her room at the moment by Sajhiri. "Yarr...who be ye mateys?" Ecavi Ceri stopped her attempt to go to the fire when Sedare stepped up. She looked up at the silver thule as she welcomed her and began explaining some things to her. Not as interested in the fire, or the lemonade she was being offered, as she was the thule infront of her she ignored the little speech and started waving up at her. Myze watched Sedare a moment before Saevire leapt towards them. She stayed silent, looking the thule over from head to tail, wondering about how she spoke. Ecavi gave a small laugh, "This is Myze, and the other one is Ceri." She hesitated a moment before she continued, smiling, "And I'm Ecavi- I'll just put their stuff in a tent and be on my way. Does it matter which tent?" Sajhiri Sajhiri joined the group in time to hear Ecavi and she smiled. "I'm Sajhiri, and this is Sedare, " indicating the silver thule, "And Saevire" indicating the red and black one. "You can put their things in whatever tent they wish." Sedare waved back at Ceri with a smile. She gestured to one of the logs in front of the fire. "Would you like to sit?"Saevire began tossing woodchips into the fire, spitting on them first so they'd make a crackle sound when they hit the flames.Ecavi "It's nice to meet you all," Ecavi said cheerfully, then moved to look down at Myze, "Want to pick out a tent, Myze?" Myze glanced at Saevire and Sajhiri before nodding to her guardian- finding a tent would be a good excuse to stay away from these people. Her violet eyes looked over the tents. Finally getting to her feet, she followed Ecavi over towards them, taking her time at each one. Ceri looked from Sedare to the log, babbling cheerfully, "Mehr char." She walked over to one of the logs and sat down on it- smiling at Sedare. She sat for a moment before noticing Saevire and the crackling fire she was beside. With a giggle she got up from her seat and started towards the red thule.Lenachan358 Lena looked at the paper again which announced the detailed address of the Aduthule sleepover. This tower had to be right. "Here we are boys." The mother announced as she carried the green and the blue Thule towards the tents. She desperately hoped that Gaspar would behave this time...biting people in public wouldn't help him to find new friends. "Hello ?" She called as she spotted some unfamiliar people. Gaspar looked around and eyed the pack on Lena's back suspiciously. They had brought HIS things to sleep on and hopefully nobody would take it away. Was it a party ? Did you get presents at parties ?Carlos instead just waved with his tail and his hands, wiggling in excitement. This would be so much fun !Sajhiri The expression on Saevire's face at Ceri's approach seemed to screech "Drat, I've attracted it's attention!" but she held her ground. She peered down at the smaller Thule. "Ye be a shiny one, arrrr!"Sedare chuckled a bit at her sister's antics before she settled delicately down on a log herself and retrieving a sketchbook and pencil from behind it.Sajhiri smiled at Ecavi. "The girls have been looking forward to this for days now." Ecavi Ceri, smiling widely, waved cheerfully to Saevire. Her smile lessened at the thule's strange tone of voice. She'd never heard anyone speak like that before! Did many people talk like that?
"Yeh c-tak dibert ad aw yeh tanle un?!" She babbled, trying to question her. "Oh, Ceri's been looking forward to this," Ecavi replied, glancing over at Ceri's attempt to make conversation and smiling. Sajhiri Sajhiri facepalmed at Saevire's theatrics. "For months now she's been under the delusion she's a pirate. I locked up her pirate gear for the party. I was worried she'd poke people with her wooden cutlass or make smaller Thule walk the plank." She chuckled a bit. "Yaaarrrr!" Saevire responded to Ceri, squinting one eye up tight and raking her claws through her tail. "Maybe ye'd like to be a member of my pirate crew!"Sedare continued to giggle at her sister as she began sketching the two new Thule who'd arrived.Lenachan358 As Lena finally spotted the other Thule she smiled. "Is this the right place for the Thule sleepover...? I'm Lena and this are Gaspar and Carlos." She pointed at the two wiggling boys, who were quickly put onto the ground before they could fall down. Gaspar looked at all the others and as he didn't see the Crow he sighed out of relief. But...who was the shiny one ? How was anybody able to become so shiny ?Carlos instead just smiled and fluttered with his wings in anticipation. "Cawos." He announced. Ecavi Ecavi laughed, looking over at Saevire and Ceri, "Well, that explains the greeting Myze received." She shook her head at the aduthule when she heard a voice from nearby. She turned about to see Lena heading their way, smiling, "Looks like more people are arriving." Ceri, not fully understanding the proposition but finding Saevire's expression and tone amusing, nodded her response. If it meant she could go around being like her then she was all for it!
She makes an attempt to squint one eye, but ends up closing both of them, "Yaaah!" Myze has sat down beside one of the tents, having claimed it for herself and her sister, but having no intention of leading her guardian to it since she does not wish to get involved. She watched with narrow purple eyes as Ceri attempts to imitate Saevire.Sajhiri Sajhiri turns to greet the new arrivals and she gestures them into the circle of firelight. "Welcome to the party! I don't think we've met, but I do think I know these two little guys. Hello Gaspar! Hi there Carlos! The girls will be happy to see you." She smiled broadly. "Feel free to pick one of the tents and drop your stuff in it. We're going to start roasting hotdogs soon." There's nothing Saevire loves more than an audience, and Ceri's rapt attention had the anger thule ecstatic. She made another funny face at the smaller creature, adding in a sneer and hunching over dramatically. "Shiver me timbers!"Hearing new voices, Sedare rose and moved over to greet the arrivals. "Hello you two. I haven't seen you in a long time." She smiled softly at the boys.Lenachan358 "You met them already..." Lena blinked and frowned slightly before finally understanding why. "Oh yes, of course. They had two other guardians before." She smiled gently and because she knew that Gaspar would favour to have all of the tents just picked the one nearby to put her stuff in. Inbetween Gaspar slowly crawled towards the shiny sunlike Thule. Should he...touch it ?The liberal one of the two squealed happily as he recognised Sedare and started to applaud with his tiny hands. A friend !Ecavi Ecavi smiled at Lena, then realizing how long Myze has spent picking out a tent looks towards them. Catching sight of Myze sitting by a tent quite far away, she laughed, "I'll just take the girls stuff over to the tent Myze chose now." She headed for the tent Myze was by. Myze watched as Ecavi approached her, and to make sure she knew which tent she picked out she pointed at the one she was sitting beside. She watched Ecavi set the bag inside of it, then turned her attention back to Ceri, who was being enlisted by Saevire and approached by Gaspar. Ceri opened her eyes and stared at Saevire, giggling at the expression and the strange saying. Though she didn't understand it, she tried to repeat her anyway, "Siber me tibbers!" Surprisingly, her full attention was on Saevire, so she didn't notice Gaspar crawling towards her.Sajhiri Sajhiri nodded to Lena, "yes...we'd met them many months ago at the museum. Sedare and Saevire have been out of their relic for over a year now. This is a bit of a belated party for that." Saevire nodded in approval at Ceri, then eyed the crawling Thule approaching. "Avast! There be a landlubber off your stern, shiny one!" She pointed at Gaspar, sending him a wink along the way.Sedare beamed at Carlos as he seemed to recognize her. She offered him a hand. "Would you like to come sit by the fire? We're going to start roasting hotdogs soon!"Lenachan358 "Sounds wonderful. I still need to learn a lot about them. How many people do you expect to come ?" The mother watched the pairs with interest. The green hand had already been extended to grab the shiny tail gently as Saevire's voice shocked the greedy Thule. He wanted the shiny !? Gaspar hissed at first but then recognised the winking. This just had to be a secret sign...it surely meant take it ! And so the hand was quickly wrapped around Ceri's nice tail. "Mine." The Thule explained and grinned.Carlos glanced at his brother and smiled as he took the offered hand. He was still quite wobbly on his legs, but after all he was able to walk much better than his brother. "Wommmm..." He pointed at the fire and nodded.Ecavi Ceri beamed at Saevire, pleased she'd managed approval. She started when suddenly Saevire said.. well, something- and winked behind her. The day thule turned around just in time to see Gaspar claim her tail. She gasped, this was someone new! He even owned her tail!
She waved at him, then remembering she was supposed to be a pirate she added, "Siber me tibbers!" Ecavi looked down at Myze instead of heading right back over to the others, "Aren't you going to join them, Myze?" Myze shook her head without taking her eyes off of the others, noting that the green one had a hold on Ceri. Ceri seemed fine with it, so there was no reason for her to make herself noticable. Sajhiri Saevire hopped back down off the log and sat on it comfortably. "This be Gaspar, Gaspar this is my new crew member...er...um..what's yer name?" she looked at Ceri expectantly.Sedare helped Carlos get settled in then began to spear hotdogs on the long forks reserved for cooking. She murmured to the liberal thule as she worked, "I love campfires. They're always so warm and cheery.""Oh I'm not sure on how many will be here. I'm hoping all of the Thule will attend but I know people have such busy schedules these days." Sajhiri smiled "Ecavi, this is Lena, Lena this is Ecavi." Ecavi Ceri watched as Saevire made herself more confortable. She looked at Gaspar, then back at Saevire. "Gapar?" She repeated quietly, then she smiled widely and pointed to herself, "Ceri!" Ecavi smiled, "Nice to meet you, Lena." She paused and considered the conversation the two were having when she came back over. "How many Aduthule are there?" She asked- she'd met quite a few, but she didn't really know how many there were. She'd never really thought to count the tacks when she'd found the invitation.. Sajhiri Sajhiri hmmmed. "15 pairs I think...from the museum registry, so 30 in all?" She watched proudly as Sedare began prepwork for the hot dog roast. Saevire grinned. "My crew member Ceri! We''re pirates you know..." she told Gaspar matter-of-factly.Ecavi Ecavi thought about the pairs she'd already met, which turned out to be very few, "Oh, wow." She smiled. Ceri giggled as Saevire explained that they were pirates, still not sure what they were but amused. Looking back and fourth between Gaspar and Saevire, she caught sight of Sedare preparing the hot dogs. With a quiet 'oooh,' she abandoned all thoughts about being a pirate and attempted to free herself from Gaspar and go over to see what the silvery thule was doing. Sajhiri Sedare bagan lining up buns beside the condiments for the dogs and she hummed a merry tune as she worked.Saevire grunted at the loss of her new pirate's attention, but spotting the food herself rubbed a grumbling belly. Lenachan358 Lena smiled. "Nice to meet you, Ecavi. I think this sleepover is a wonderful idea, because so I can get to know most of the other guardians and all the other Thule." Her dark green eyes trailed over to the playing kids. Everything seemed peaceful...for now. Pirates ? Gaspar didn't know much about pirates, he just knew about Ducktales and knew that Carlos loved Indiana Jones. But wait...pirates had gold, right ? "Haf golt ?" He asked while looking at Ceri's tail expectantly. If they had, he'd love to be a crew member.
As he heard his name he nodded and smiled a bit. He wasn't one of those cheerful kids, so a small smile was worth a lot."Cawos lofs camfires." The blue Thule agreed and looked curiously at the older girl. She was very nice, much nicer than the other people at the headquarter last time. 'Soooo much fun...' He told his brother and moved his tail as always when he was content. "Taste...good ?" Carlos pronounced every single letter very carefully to sound right as he pointed at the hot dog.Ecavi (( @__@; I hate to switch tenses suddenly, but it's been forced to go in past tense. And I don't think I'm making as much sense as I could. So. Don't mind sudden past to present. )) Ecavi smiles at Lena, "It is a good idea." She glances back over at Ceri, who was still on her way to see Sedare and Carlos, "I'm sure Ceri will want to meet all the aduthule she can, this will make it easier on me, I think." Ceri turns around and looks at Gaspar, trying to pull her tail free from his grasp, "Wan go see dem!" She points over to the lighter colored aduthule over by the campfire- they were doing something interesting, and she'd never met that blueish one before! Myze watches as Ceri struggles to get herself free, tempted to go and help her- though she knows it's not that bad yet. She just sits by the tent and stares. This wasn't as bad as Ecavi had made it sound like it would be. Of course, they hadn't been here that long. She folds her arms as best she can.. Arach Ara stepped shakily up to the door, rather awkwardly trying to carry Lucas, Raul, their overnight supplies and her own, at the same time. She looked ready to topple over. Not knowing if she had to go by the front or head directly to the back, she decided to play it safe and ring the bell--dropping a bag or two in the process. "Now, you two," she began, "mind me. Lucas, darling, no hugging people unless they want to and Raul, no biting! Behave!" She pulled out the invite, checking it over again. Yep, this was the place. She waited, still holding the boys. Raul huffed and clung to his brother, Lucas pressing back against him with a happy trill. He didn't want to have to share Lucas with anyone else, all these horrible people--maybe he'd even have to put up with that mean, long-haired Thule again.Lucas was more than pleased they'd be going to a social event: it meant he'd get to meet knew people, and maybe see Ceri, too! He didn't like as much that Ara didn't allow him hug people--people liked hugs! How could they not?!Mordavrin Rin pulled long and hard on her ciggy as she glanced from her car up to the house, and then back to the car. Was this really a good idea?
Rael was plastered against the car window with her nose so squished that it resembled that of a pig. She was pleading, desperate to be let out of the car. But naturally, it wasn't Rael Rin was worried about, it was the other one, the one that was sharpening her claws, and ripping the head off of her sisters dol...
"HEY!!!!" shrieked Rael as she happened to turn around and see her precious doll in the clutches of a raptor. "Let her go Kaz. KAZ LET HER GO!!" Frantic, Rael lunged towards Kaz doing her best to save the precious plastic lovingly known as Lilith. Once she was saved, Rael looked her over. One arm was torn clean off, her dress was ripped, her hair was partially falling out/off....she was a mess. Thoroughly pleased with herself Kaz scooped her belongings together, checked herself in the mirror and gracefully exited the car, leaving a tearful Rael behind.
"The most terrible thing has happened, Rael's doll has a booboo. Better save it mommy dearest. Kaz said snidefully.
Thoroughly fed up Rin turned to Kaz, speaking in a low, commanding tone, "Wait here." Walking over to the car Rin opened up the car door. "Come on Rael. Let's go to the party, you know it'll make you feel better."
"I don't want to go anymore. Kaz ruined her, like she ruins everything. I didn't do anything, I just sat..."
"I know you didn't do anything Rael, but since when has Kaz needed a reason to do what she does? There really isn't anything we can do." she said, trying to calm Rael's nerves. "Look, leave Lilith with me and I'll take her to the hospital as soon as the two of you get settled. Okay? What do you say Rael? You know I heard there's going to be tons of junk food, not to mention almost every other thule on the planet?"
Rael's faced lifted from it's place on her knees, a little sparkle dancing across her eyes. "Every other thule?" she peeped.
"Just about." Rin smiled.
"Okay, I'll go. But you promise to take Lilith?"
"I swear on the sea itself."
Rael grinned and jumped out of the car. "Just leave your things."
"But...?"
"Don't worry, they'll get to the party." she said as she wiped away Rael's tears. As the two of them made their way past Kaz, who was getting more and more irritated by the second, Rin leaned over and stopped Kaz. "Be a dear and get Rael's things won't you." she asked, without really asking, before continuing on up to the house. Kaz was about to utter an "I don't think so" when Rin whipped around and shot her a menacing glance, one that Kaz was all too familiar with.
"I'm going to kill that stupid purple bird...one of these days..." she mumbled to herself as she headed back to the car, roughly collected Rael's things and trudged on up after her sister and guardian.
Once closer to the door, Rin could see that another owner had just arrived too and was waiting, aduthule in hand, for the host to answer the door. Rael tugged on Rin's pantleg. "Yes, I know. We've never met them before. Might as well introduce ourself now right?" she smiled. Rael grinned, nodded eagerly, then sped off to greet the new aduthule. She so hoped they were friendly, at least one anyway.
Clearning her throat Rin smiled. "Hello there. My name is Rin, and this here is Raelhemn, and that one all the way down there is Aikaz. I imagine you're all here for the party too? Can I give you a hand with anything?" Sajhiri Sajhiri excused herself from her conversation with Lena and Ecavi and moved back through the tower to the front door. She opened it with a smile. "Welcome to the slumber party, please head through to the back. Have the Thule drop their things in a tent of their choice, we're about to start roasting hotdogs over the campfire!" The woman was cheerful as she escorted Arach, Rin, Lucas, Raul, Rael, and Kaz through the tower to the brightly dancing campfire out back. Sedare finished spearing hotdogs and aligning buns and the silvery thule handed one of the forks with it's skewered meat product to Carlos, and another to the approaching Ceri. "Come now, lets sit on a log and I'll show you how to cook those in the fire." She grabbed one for herself and settled comfortably leaving room to either side of her for the pair of younger creatures.Saevire grinned at Gaspar. "I think I smell food...come on!" She leapt off the log and sauntered with a piratey swagger over to the buffet, plucking two skewers off of it, one for herself, and one for Gaspar.Lenachan358 Lena smiled as new people arrived and waved her hand in a greeting manner. Her eyes examined the new Thule in a friendly but curious way. They looked so different alltogether ! Gaspar followed the wonderful shiny Thule towards the others on his legs carefully. He held the girl's tail like a treasure. Awesome pirate people.
But as Saevire offered him the skewer the little green one looked puzzled. Which was better ? Tail or food...? Carlos nodded happily and sniffed at the newly produced meal. "Wonnefewl...!" He announced and beamed a smile at his new best friend. That's what he just decided, Sedare was awesome.
And as Ceri appeared the liberal one was even happier. "Wan' ?" He asked and offered the present to the new arrival.Sajhiri Sajhiri retrieved some skewers for the new arrivals and proceeded to pass them out. "Just have the children sit around the fire and Sedare will help them roast their hot dogs. If they don't like meat, I also have veggie dogs available." Sedare carefully held her long grill fork over the fire so the flames didn't quite touch the hotdog dangling from it, but came very close. "It's kind of like a game, see how close you can get the hot dog to the flames, without letting it get burned by them. When you see the skin bubble a little, or smoke wisp up off it, it's time to turn it to toast the next side."Saevire perched on a rock and she stuck her hotdog right into the conflagration of flames, but yanked it out again at her sisters words. She blew out the flames dancing on the dog and frowned at the burnt spot. "Stupid campout. Stupid fire." she muttered.Ecavi Ecavi nods when Sajhiri excused herself. When the newcomers arrive in the backyard, she smiles- recognizing Arach, Lucas and Raul. Ignoring the fact Myze would probably be angry that Raul was there, she waves to them. Her gaze wanders to the others, having never met the angelic and demonic aduthule before. Ceri babbles cheerfully, taking the fork from Sedare and staring at it for a moment. Her attention turns momentarily to Carlos- who is offering his to her. She smiles widely and takes it from him- in time to see Saevire and Sedare's 'good idea-bad idea' demonstration. Still smiling, she turns on the campfire and holds out her hotdog. Myze now has her attention on the people just coming into the backyard, being handed skewer by that.. person who opened the door. Her narrowed eyes rest on Raul- she just knew he'd be here.Sajhiri Sedare carefully turns her hotdog, showing the other Aduthule that the first side is nicely browned but not blackened. "As long as you are patient, you will have a perfectly cooked hotdog...just slightly crisp outside. Yummy!"Never one to be patient like her sister, Saevire decides a little charring isn't all bad. She shoves the hotdog into the coals, glaring at her sibling for being too perfect. Her hot dog crackles and burns to a nice, toasty black. She yanks it back out and blows out the flames. "Or if you're, you know, HUNGRY, you can learn to like charcoal flavor." She struts to the buffet to put her hotdog into a bun with lots and lots of ketchup and mustard to cut the burnt flavor. Sajhiri Saevire grinned at her cohort in hotdog burning as she chomped into her dinner with gusto, then shrieked when she burned the roof of her mouth with it. She quickly poured herself a glass of lemonade and slugged it back.Sedare looks touched by Carlos' words and she smiles softly. "Thank you...that is very kind of..." She blinks at Saevire's antics and says quietly, "As you can see, it's best to wait a little bit before eating it as it will be very hot." Ecavi [ Myze is sitting away from everyone near the tents XD ] Ceri holds her fork out to the fire, and though she had listened to Sedare's directions she seemed to forget or ignore them as half of the hotdog went into the flames. She watches intently as the hotdog cooks, "Oooh.."
With a crackle, the hotdog catches fire. Not noticing it right away, Ceri keeps it partially in the fire before pulling it out to see if it's done- only to find that it's ablaze. She gasps and drops her fork- the silver one said it wasn't supposed to catch on fire! And now it was on the ground.
"It on fieh," she murmurs softly, looking at Sedare and pointing to the burnt hotdog. quietsnooze Pippin lept, skipped, and jumped when the opportunity came his way to lose the twins for a night. One less kid meant a better chance of a good night's sleep, to be cynical enough. Carrying them separate from one another, but close enough to remain within the halos' reach, he emerges onto the scene very optimistic and cheery. "Hello, hello!" he chimes, greeting all in one happy, musical sound. "I've brought two more visitors to join the fun." Crow snorts, squirming rudely away from the others, shrinking into his jacket. Nothing like this can ever result in good things, he has deduced, clawing his way against his father's shirt in hopes to escape the noisy, busy people. He refused to bring anything along, thus arriving with merely the coat on his back. On the other hand, Mythos was relieved to come, almost too excited in fact. With more people around, he could easily slip under the radar of the halos and possibly have some fun. He sighs softly at the concept, nuzzling his tiny backpack before swinging it gingerly over his wings. They flutter and extend appropriately to avoid any sort of crushing. Pippin puts Mythos down first before removing Chronicles from his sleeve, dropping his next to his brother. The strain of the halos, even at that height, is evident, Mythos having to lean up on his toes with a wince before his brother finally let go. No doubt, the halos played a factor in his decision. Stupid, annoying halos. That's one thing they can both agree on. Lenachan358 Gaspar instead enjoyed eating his burnt hotdog slowly. After all it was his and even if it didn't taste as good as some other things, he would eat it. Possessions couldn't be given away. Quickly he grabbed another fork and looked out for a new sausage. He needed more even if he wasn't interested in eating them. "Pie rats ?" His eyes turned to the red girl asking for some new stories.
But just in this moment Mythos and Crow arrived....and suddenly all the happiness vanished from his face. The monster who wanted to steal friends was back !Picking up another fork Carlos held the hotdog into the fire just like Sedare did before. He concentrated a lot and shifted it once in while. Just as it looked right he held out the fork to Ceri and smiled his brightest smile. "Fo yoo." Perhaps she would be happy now ? Ecavi Ceri looks from Sedare, though still pointing at the hotdog, and looks at Carlos- who's holding out a well cooked hotdog to her. She immediately brightens, this thule was really nice! And, not questioning his offer or really thinking that it's his so he should keep it, she takes the fork, "Tanku!"
With a giggle, she turns to show it to Sedare and then goes off to where Saevire went when she'd finished cooking her hotdog. She holds up the fork to show Saevire she has a hotdog now, not sure what to do next. Myze moves her glare from Raul to the strange new arrivals- they had circles floating above their heads and it looked like they couldn't really move away from them. It was interesting, but it didn't mean she wanted to go up the them. She continues looking around, Ceri's doing alright, so she resumes sitting out of the way silently- looking back towards Raul. Latpas Latpas hefted the twins higher onto her shoulders as they gazed up at the tower. She glanced at the invitation apprehensively. "Looks like this is the place." Balancing the boys awkwardly, she leaned forward and knocked softly on the door.Mathus scowled and flicked his tail back and forth angrily. He didn't want to be here. It was all her fault that he had to come. But... he had to admit, the tower looked a lot like one you would find a in a horror film. All scary movies had towers, right? And if there were people he could give nightmares... Maybe the night wouldn't turn out so badly after all. Reve cooed and drooled absently on Latpas's shoulder. He'd been looking forward to this ever since they'd recieved their invitation. Lots of new people to meet and friends to make! Kay (DDB) As Kay and her two new charges walked up the path to the door of the looming tower, their bag of sleeping things slung over her shoulder, she kept looking from the tower to the address on the sheet and back again. Yes, no doubt about it, the address was right, this had to be the place. But a tower? Must be someone pretty well off, or just a lucky inheritence. Nuria bubbled with excitement like an active volcano as she trailed alongside Kay, her warm little hand gripped tightly in one of the woman's. She skipped and danced along, eyes darting around at everything but not really taking in much. She was going to a party! Parties were fun! And Danny had come too so it would be even better.
'This is so good, hey Danny?!' She thought privatly to her sister.'Yeah....' Came back Danica's drawl reply. A party.... why would people want parties? They always seemed to be filled with running around and noise and pretty much childish things. Good thing she had given Kay the story book to bring along. She might be able to find a quiet enough spot and get Kay to read to her. Or maybe even that older thule she met at the museum who had read to her before. This was supposed to be her and her sister's party after all so she should be there.Wandering up closer her concerns about the location were dismissed at the sight of another woman and two small beings very similar in shape to Danica and Nuria. Aduthule! Well, this must be it.
"Hey ya." She greeted the group of other party-goers standing at the door. "Guess I'm at the right spot. And not the latest person here either." She gave her a grin. "I'm Kay." She introduced herself, unable to hold out a hand or wave due to the fire and ice thules holding onto each one. "And this is Nuria and Danica."Nuria bounced up and down, tugging on Kay's hand when she saw the other pair of thule. Grinning ear to ear it was obvious she was happy to meet the strange new Adu.Danica however just stood quietly behind Kay's leg, watching them carefully. Latpas Latpas shifted one of her backpack straps and wiped the drool off of her shoulder self-conciously as she greeted the newcomers. "Hi there!" She said cheerily. "I'm Latpas, and this is Reve," (Reve bubbled something unintelligible in acknowledgement) "And Mathus," She pointed over to where Mathus was lurking (supposedly), waiting to ambush unwary partygoers. Supposedly. You never really could tell with him. "It's nice to finally get to meet another guardian and their Aduthule!" She smiled down at the two Thule; the little light blue one looked like she could use a good conversation icebreaker (not literally, really!).
She leaned forward and peered at the door, wondering why in the world she forgot to bring her glasses. It was slightly ajar, and she could hear the sounds of laughter and crackling fires through the small space. "I don't think anyone's coming. Should we just head on in? Or go around back?"Reve swung his legs back and forth happily, overjoyed to meet two others of his own species! "Isn't it great, Math? We're going to see lots of other Thule just like us!" He chirped mentally to his brother. He squirmed out of Latpas's arms and hopped over to inspect the newcomers."Oh, yeah, Reve, just fantastic. I can barely hold in all my excitement," came the scathingly sardonic reply. Mathus crept forward dramatically to reside a few feet behind their overnight belongings stationed at Latpas's feet. In truth he was interested to meet the newcomers, if only to learn the perfect nightmares to give them... Arach Ara looked around the yard, slightly worried: being in a large group of strangers made her very uncomfortable. When she spotted the familiar head of brown hair, however, she grinned. "Oh, look boys! It's Myze and Ceri!" Relieved to have Ecavi to lean on, she wormed her way through tents and partygoers towards the bonfire. "Ceii!" Lucas babbled, gesticulating madly and squirming for release. As Ara stepped over to Ecavi and the girls, and set him down beside his friend, he emitted a cheerful cry and snuggled up to her. "Ceii!" He repeated, jubilant.Raul was...not so pleased. He, too, had been left on the ground, and was instinctively moving close to his brother. He could feel Myze's eyes on him, and his hackles raised. His tail beat the ground in his agitation; why did that stupid Thule have to be here?Ara watched her boys vigilantly--she knew they could feel the heat of that fire, but she couldn't predict if they might accidentally move right into it. She broke away for a moment to smile at Ecavi. "Hi there! How've you been?" Kay (DDB) "Latpas, Reve and Mathus." Kay nodded to each in turn, trying her best to remember the names and faces together. How many other carers were there? And how many other Thule? If they were all twins then that'd be even more names to remember!
"Hmm? Oh yeah, yeah it is. A comfort too, to know someone's in the same boat with ya." Kay nods.'Hello! Hello!' Nuria cried in her head, waving her unheld hand at the other pair of thule and practically bouning up and down. The white one seemed very friendly and just as excied as she was.'I don't think they can hear you Nuria... only I can, so keep it down!' Danny suggested, being alot still than her sister. She watched the other two. The pale one looked like he'd be just as active and noisy as Nuria. And the dark one.... well he just look villanous. What a start to the night...."But yeah, I don't know if anyone's heard us... I can hear them though, out the back? Let's go around that way." And that decided she starts to lead the way around the tower, looking for the entrance to the back where the sounds of people and thule alike could be heard. Latpas Reve flapped his tiny wings happily and cooed, "Niceda meetchoo!" at the fiery Thule. The blue one, Danica, the woman had called her, seemed a little antisocial, so he would let her warm up to him a bit first.
He flapped his wings a bit harder, impatient. If only he could fly! Ah well, soon enough. The Thule's tail was lying on the ground in front of him, blazing and brilliant. Intrigued, he poked his hand into it, and-- drew it back immediately! She was burning! Reve's eyes watered, and he put his fingers in his mouth to cool them off. He smiled bravely, not showing his discomfort."Good idea," Latpas said warmly, scooping up their overnight supplies, and Mathus, so he wouldn't sneak off.Mathus scowled at being picked up, and gnashed his teeth furiously in his guardian's ear. He plotted over the two Thule... The red one, as Reve had proven, was very hot; on fire, it seemed. Something with lots of water would make an excellent nightmare. Or maybe something else... And the little blue one? Danica? He didn't know much about her. There would be plenty of other Thule to find nightmares for, so maybe this pair would get lucky.. Kay (DDB) Kay led the band around until she found the gate to get into the back. She had to let go of Nuria's hand to reach over and undo it though so she didn't realise or see Reve's unfortunate investigation of Nuria's tail.Nuria opened her mouth and babbled something back to Reve when he spoke to her. It wasn't understandable in the least, but it sounded happy. She waited as Kay worked the gate, the newcomers holding her interest well enough and her hands giving little claps of excitment. But she didn't realise just how hot her excitement was making her body, in particular her wild firy-red hair and tail.
'Oh no!!' She looked shocked when Reve touched her and pulled back in alarm. She seemed almost as shocked as he did and she imediatly began to babble and gibber in a concerned tone. 'Danny Danny!! I hurt him!''Nuria! You're excited and hot!' Danica chided back to her sister. Giving a wriggle out of Kay's hand now that they were apparently where they were supposed to be, she headed over to the little dream thule who was putting on a brave act. Maybe he wasn't so bad. But silly Nuria! She always had to bale her out.
Reaching out to the white-ish thule with her slightly translucent hand, she firmly, yet carefully pulled his burnt fingers from his mouth. With a low murmer she repeated a word that Kay had said to them alot. "Ssop..." (( really she meant 'stop' )) and held his hand in her own cool one. It wasn't freezing or very icy, but certainly cool and soothing. Lenachan358 "Nice to meet you. I'm Lena and this are Carlos and Gaspar." The mother announced as the others arrived and tried to make a good first impression on everyone. Carlos stared at all the new people in awe and blinked before greeting everyone of with a very broad smile. His wings started to flutter again. 'More people to share our wonderful food with.' Crossed his mind and he started to look at the new people. More girls, but boys too. Nice people it seemed.
"Cawos." The liberal one announced again and as he noticed that Ceri was hugged he wondered if it was nice to be hugged. Looked like it...
Quickly he opened his arms and moved closer to Nuria who seemed to be very happy and was just about to embrace her as he noticed that the other one had been hurt by doing so. Well...perhaps hug weren't right then...but he could offer a space beside him. "Wancho sit ?" He offered still not used to words at all. He also looked at the other newcomers in the same friendly way.Gaspar wasn't too happy with more people coming and hid his new pirate possessions, called forks, behind his back. Some seemed as chatty and wild as Carlos, which wasn't too bad, but he prefered to look at Raul and Mathus. More of his kind probably..but probably as dangerous as Crow. But at least it didn't look like they wanted things...and what about the girls with stars ? Perhaps she was the best not wanting anything at all...His eyes looked at her in a questionable way just as he waited for her to say 'I don't want things.'Latpas Latpas smiled warmly. Another guardian to meet! How exciting! "Nice to meet you too. I'm Latpas, and this is Reve," She pointed to each one in turn, "and Mathus."Reve's mouth formed a tiny 'o' of awe as Danica held his small burnt hand in her own cool one, and.. healed it, it seemed. When she released it, it was still sporting some reddish burn marks, but the heat and pain were signifigantly numbed. He flashed Danica an appreciative smiled and murmured, "'Sanks." (He meant 'thanks,' but couldn't get his 'th' out yet)Mathus smirked. More people. More Thule. More innocent bystanders just waiting to be tormented. He wriggled out of Latpas's arms and stole off to the bonfire, where they were roasting sausages. For a few moments he basked in the heat and glaring light before inspecting the others. Reve had, once again, managed to make a new friend by innocently injuring himself, like he always did, that purply-blue one over there seemed intent on making friends -he'd have to stay away from him,- but the green one... looked positively sneaky. Reve plopped onto the ground, ignoring the places to sit, and just in general preferring the feel of the grass below him, and loosed a stream of unintelligible chatter. Ecavi Ecavi beams at Arach, following her over the campfires "It's nice to see you came!" She smiles down at Ceri, who'd abandoned the hotdog and had come over to see Lucas. SHe glances over at the others, but knows she can get to them later. She turns back and focuses on Ara, Lucas and Raul, "How are you all doing?" "Lua!" Ceri squeals and clings to Lucas, it was nice to see someone you know- even if you love meeting new people. She starts off into a long, run on babble about everything she's done- finishing her explanation with a 'siber me tibbers!' as she tried to explain pirates but found herself unaware of what they were.
She grabs Lucas' hand and heads back to the table where her abandoned hotdog is and takes the fork- not realizing that her hotdog is already cooked she drags him back to the fire, "An a took da ho'dog!" She places the fork in his hand. Myze watches by the tents, glaring at Raul and running her clawed fingers over her hair- still blaming him for the broken hair pin and mad about it. Ceri's distracted enough trying to show Lucas all she's learned already to notice that Myze isn't just slightly angry like she'd been before.
Unfortunately, there are too many people around- so Myze turns her glare from Raul to the newcomers, looking only slightly less irritated. There are way too many people here.Kay (DDB) "Hi Lena." Kay nodded then motioned to herself and the two thule hanging around near her legs. "Kay, Nuria and Danica." She pointed out each. Looking around she noticed a fair few people, most wandering about and talking with others, a few sitting around the campfire. This was pretty neat. She gave a grin and turned back to Lena.
"Sooo.... is everyone here an expert in Aduthule? I gotta admit I've only had the twins a short while. Do they all come in pairs? The guy at the museum wasn't particularly informative. Sounded like a sort of new discovery." She looked around again. Alot of the 'parents' seemed very friendly and rather motherly... might be handy for babysitting or organising playdates when she had work...Nuria meanwhile had quietened since her sister had come to save her. Well, save little Reve rather. 'Sorry sorry!!' She spoke aloud in Danica's mind as she tried to put it into words. It only came out as "orry orry!!" though. She had gotten herself really worked up before the party, which had caused her to become particularly hot to small delicate hands. Now her mood had deminished a bit so had her temperature, leaving her skin only as warm as if she were running a fever (which was perfectly normal for her).
Seeing someone else approach out of the corner of her eye, she looked around to see the pale blue-purple thule coming her way. She brightened at having someone else come to meet her and only drooped her tail a little when he paused just before hugging her. Still, sitting might be nice and she nodded, understanding by his motions what he meant with his words. Pointing at the logs around the campfire, she indicated just where she would like to sit.Danica seemed pretty intent on her 'job' and only glanced up as Reve looked on in wonder. That should fix him. Danica wasn't too hot... he should feel how hot she gets when she's angry! Good thing it didn't happen often. She let his hand go when she felt it had been held long enough and gave a nod at his smile and word of thanks, her expression still rather blank.
Looking over to where Nuria was headed she gave a quick word of warning to her. 'Don't get too hot Nuria. I don't want to spend my night cooling off everyone's hands.' Then seeing as she didn't really want to go socialise with everyone over there, she plonked herself down next to Reve and listened silently as he gibbered on unintelligibly. Lenachan358 Lena was relieved as she heard that she wasn't the only new person around. "I don't have them for a long time too." She told Kay and smiled. "Seems like it though. I heard they come from some kind of...medals or relicts or so. But don't ask me what it's all about. Carlos and Gaspar tend to be very very different though." Looking at the pair she sighed. Gaspar looked around once again as he suddenly noticed Mathus, who seemed to look at him. What did he want ? One of his possessions ? "Watchoo wan' ?" He asked the nightmare Thule and hugged his forks."Yoo look like tis..." Carlos pointed towards the fire and then smiled back at Nuria. "Petty...and wam..." He grinned and nodded to himself. The blue Thule had noticed that she had been sad about not beeing hugged and so he just took the risk hugging her slightly. She felt very warm...but not too hot gladly.Ecavi Seeing that Ceri was content, Ecavi decides to go see about these other newcomers. On her way by the tents, she scoops up Myze, "Come on, you shouldn't sit and glare. And remember what I said about fighting." She warns the night thule, and both glance towards Raul. "Now come on," She steps towards Lena, Latpas and Kay intime to hear Lena's comment about relics. Myze doesn't bother struggling, and instead turns her gaze on all of the aduthule. She'd already seen the blue and green ones- the bluish one had given Ceri a hotdog, and the green one had been clinging to her tail. The fire, ice, white and black one were new though- and it seemed the fire one really was hot. Her eyes narrowed, she just looks at all of them thoughtfully- more keen on looking than being introduced. "You're all new to this, as well?" Ecavi asks, jumping into the conversation with a shy tone, "They do come from relics- look like little fox creatures curled around each other.." Myze glances up at Ecavi, then around them. These people didn't know much about them, but then, what could she really tell them anyway. She crosses her arms and wiggles slightly, getting comfortable. "Oh," Ecavi laughs awkwardly, "I'm Ecavi, and this is Myze." Latpas "It's 'k," Reve mumbled hastily, not wanting to upset Nuria too much from his accident, and still awed by Danica's cool hands.Mathus narrowed his eyes shrewdly. Did he want the forks? They didn't look very interesting to him. "Nuffin'," he muttered darkly. "Jus' tawlk?" ((What is this? Mathus not being horribly mean to someone? XD)) "New to it all as well, here," Latpas said absently, waving her hand. Kay (DDB) Kay gave a smile when she heard Lena admit she hadn't been looking after her pair for long either. It always made you fell better about not knowing and being new if someone else was too.
"Relics huh? That would probably explain why they were at a museum of all places." She agreed and gave a grin and a nod when Ecavi and Myze joined them. "Well, they were up and about when I first met them."Nuria nodded when Carlos likened her to the fire. It was true, her hair and tail fur was very frizzy, wild and being firey red and orange. Coupled with her warm temperate it wasn't hard to see the relation to the element. She stared at it a little, watching the flickering embers, when she felt him give her a hesitant hug. She grinned and returned it with enthusiasm, fortunately she was just nicely warm and no longer burning. But she let go before long, just in case, not to mention her growling stomach also made her look at herself sheepishly, then back at him, and then around for any signs of dinner, a questioning look on her face.Listening with half an ear to Reve's chatter, Danny took a moment to look around at everyone else. The place seemed pretty packed. The other twin of Reve, Mathus she remembered his name, had gone off with some green thule and Kay was talking to someone with a dark blue, glittery thule. Hmmm... quietsnooze There is a lapse before Crow snaps out of his displeasure for his father dumping him in this situation. With a look around, he scornfully notes the possibilities, avoiding one involving a certain green Thule. Instead, he crawls toward Myze, subconsciously running his tiny tongue over his sharp teeth, tail flickering insanely. Flopping down at her feet, he ensures he has her attention by popping up directly in front of her face. Eyes keen and staring, he leaves a pause, as if waiting for a shriek or similiar reaction to his sudden arrival. Mythos hugs his bag, forced to keep within range of his brother. He does his best to keep hidden behind his bag, looking more like a dragged dog on a leash than anything else. As his brother stops, he immediately turns his back on the trouble maker so as not to be confused with whatever mess Crow happens to stir up. Instead, he rubs his eyes plainly, keeping to himself as best he can. It seems his brother owns claim of all the confidence of the pair has. Ecavi Myze, getting bored with the conversation of these people and wishing to flee the crowd, struggles once more until Ecavi finally submits and she can stalk off again. Quite suddenly, once she settles herself, she finds someone directly infront of her- Crow.
She jumps, not expecting anyone to approach her let alone seemingly pop out of no where. Staying silent, her eyes narrow- indicating her displeasure. She inches back slightly. Myze does not like being surprised. Ecavi smiles at Kay- atleast she'd tried to get Myze to interact a little bit- and nods. "Myze and Ceri were pretty much the same they are now when I adopted them, as well," she explains, "But I did see two others come from a relic.." She points towards Lucas and Raul, and glances over towards Ceri. That must mean her girls weren't the only ones that'd been abandoned or lost- it was sad enough knowing one pair had gone without a guardian for awhile, but atleast two more..? Arach Lucas nodded at every pause in Ceri's speech, even though he didn't understand most of it himself. The pirates part sounded interesting, though...he wondered if he'd get to be a pirate. "Siver mi tibbers!" He repeated wobbily, smiling.
Clutching the hot-dog fork that has been slapped into his hand, Lucas is unsure what to do. "Hot'og?" he queried, shaking the large utensil a bit. He only saw light in front of him, and couldn't make the association between this instrument an that heat.Seeing that Ecavi left to help a few newcomers, Ara took the opportunity to bend down and help the little white Thule. "Like this," she told Lucas, fixing the rod. She saw the hot dog was cooked, so she only let him put it into the fire for a moment. "Put the hot dog," she took his fingertips and briefly pat them over the hot sausage: there wasn't any other way for him to learn, "over the fire so you can eat it." She brought his hand close to the flame, let him feel the warmth. "Now it's good." She gave him back the fork, positioning it so that he could easily begin to nibble at the cooked meat. "And don't forget to share!" she reminded him. The Love Thule was already a step ahead of her, though, leaning the fork towards Ceri in an attempt to share the sausage with her. "Want?" He asked, smiling.Raul, taking advantage of Ara's distraction, wandered off, searching for someone interesting to play with. He ended up doing not much saved for bumping into a few things, mostly table legs and wooden log-benches, and earning himself a fair share of scrapes. More and more irritated, he stopped, ducking under a table with a sour grumble. He disliked being stuck in unfamiliar terrain, it always made him feel useless and vulnerable.

Lenachan358 "Strange that there are so many new people to this..." Lena commented and looked at the children with a faint smile. "So why is every pair so...different ?" Nothing ? Sounded like a nice start. Perhaps he wasn't as bad as Gaspar had thought. And a conversation always meant a way to get things or to get to know new better things. The green Thule decided to give in and nodded at the nightmare one. "Me Gaspa....yoo like sem ?" Quickly he pointed at all the people who surrounded his brother. If Mathus loved crowds they could forget about friendship and talk.Carlos picked up more hotdogs which lay around and put them on forks. "Ty it, Nurya." He cheered the fire girl on and gave her one of the forks, very happy to share again and not aware that he hadn't eaten anything by himself yet. The blue-purple Thule also handed some forks to the others around. "Yoo all sweep here 'night ?"Kay (DDB) Kay looked over when Ecavi pointed to yet another pair of Aduthule. There were so many! On the one hand it was good to know she wasn't alone in this strange new situation. But on the other hand it would take a while to get to remember everyone's names and place them to faces. "Yeah, you can say that again Lena." She murmered before thinking on what Ecavi said.
The woman with the midnight-blue thule seemed to have at least some hands-on experience. Or at least was a witness to this bizare occurance all the 'live' Thule seemed to have gone through.
"So you saw a couple of other 'relics' come alive? What did that look like? I thought you said they looked like curled up foxes in that stage. I guess they still do a bit. I mean, the tails and long ears..." She tilted her head in a puzzled sort of way.
"And yeah, they all seem to come in pairs. Very different pairs too." She nodded along with Lena. "I know Danny and Nuria are quite obviously different in their appearance. Fire and Ice, how much more different can you get? But what about your boys Lena? And who's Myze's sister?" Kay didn't recall the other twin being pointed out or introduced.Nuria grinned and swished her tail as she was handed a fork with a sausage on the end. Mmm... it did look nice. And this thule was very nice to her too! She waved the fork a bit before seeing what the others were doing. Ah! In the fire! What fun!! Happily she stuck her's in too, twirling it around probably a bit too fast but enjoying the sizzling sound it made.
When Carlos asked everyone there about sleeping here she gazed about at the tents. Yes, Kay had brought her sleeping things.... but she would be warm enough anyway, and as long as Danny was with her, that was ok. It was strange to be sleeping outside though. She gave Carlos a nod and babbled response. "Uh huh."Meanwhile Danica still sat with Reve, who seemed completely unaware she didn't understand a thing he was saying. Sure Nuria sounded like that when she talked out loud, but Danica could always hear her speach in her head. She couldn't with this other thule.
As she sat and observed everyone and everything, she watched as the dark blue thule near Kay and the other adults got down from being held. Only to be snuck up on by a rather sneaky looking thule and his embarressed-looking brother. She watched the drama unfold but only quirked the corner of her mouth. Sajhiri Sajhiri began to butter slices of bread for campfire pies. She placed a slice in each side of each cast iron mold and then spooned in various pie fillings, apple, cherry, blueberry, and pumpkin. The irons were then closed and she shoved them into the coals of the fire. "Dessert is being prepared, and marshmallows are over here if you'd like to roast some. There are graham crackers and chocolate bars to make S'Mores. Sedare will help you put them together when you've finished roasting!" Sedare finished eating her own hot dog and she moved to the buffet to begin spearing marshmallows for the younger Thule at the party. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself.Saevire grinned mischeviously and murmured to the nearest Thule "Tonight we can tell ghost stories around the campfire before bed." She followed with an eerie "whoooo-OOO-ooo" sound.Ecavi Ceri giggles madly and claps when Lucas repeats her, she'd gotten through to him! Maybe he'd like to be pirate too- then they could be pirates together! She falls silent and watches as Ara guides Lucas through roasting the pre-cooked hotdog, grinning widely. She waves to the woman cheerfully, even though she's occupied.
Still smiling when an end of the hotdog is offered to her, she nods and takes a small bite off the end- making him keep hold of the fork, "Mm!" Ecavi looks over all the aduthule, then at Danica and Nuria when Kay comments that they are fire and ice. "Well, when I went to pick up Myze and Ceri, Ara arrived for her relic. The relics look more animal than humanoid- or hers did, and the picture of my girls' did. Anyway, it turned bright colors and shone really bright. Couldn't really see how it happened, but when the light dimmed there were two little boys there.." She trails off, "Oh. Ceri is over by the fire-" she points, "And judging by the colors, and Myze's 'spots' I'd say they're day and night." Ceri gets up from her spot on the log with Lucas and looks around- she had to find the red thule to see if he could be a pirate too! Murmuring to Lucas that she'd be back, she spots the thule and heads for her- forgetting why she'd come at all at the mention of ghost stories.
"Ost stories?" She asks, tilting her head. quietsnooze Crow cocks his head to the side as if he's confused about something. Why the long face? He flashes her a reassuring grin, as reassuring a set of fanged teeth can be in such close proximity. His silver bangs sway over one of his eyes constantly, though one can guess it's better than seeing two. "Crow," he announces with the r sounding more like a w. He slides fingers out of the wide sleeves of his jacket, pointing to himself. He gestures behind himself, not having to look to know his brother is there. A benefit, if not the only one, of the halos. "Mine." Mythos looks out longingly at the crows of people, particularly the ones with the food. He lowers himself closer to the ground, using his bag to rest his head against. It will be his turn next to do what he wants, whether his brother agrees or not. Of course, there is the problem with strength and courage he has to overcome first.. Reaching into his bag, he pulls out a mirky brown stone. His father wrapped it up in a leathery cloth for the travel. Some light from the fire catches the smokey quartz, and he briefly has something to admire by him lonesome. Lenachan358 Lena listened carefully and shrugged. "Sadly Gaspar and Carlos don't seem to be so obvious...I just know that my little green one loves to gather things and Carlos...loves to share. So perhaps..greed and liberality ?" Although it sounded a bit strange it suddenly made sense to her. "We too." Carlos announced and pointed at Gaspar who was sitting further away. This sleepover was very nice. He had to ask the Lena if they could do this at their home in future too. Perhaps she would say yes, they had a big house too. Silently Carlos watched Sedare amazed by her patient way to spear the marshmellows. "Wassat ?" He asked and blinked. Perhaps Nuria knew...turning towards her he smiled. Kay (DDB) Kay called out a thanks as their party host told them desert was on the way. And the mention of marshmellows and chocolates didn't sound too bad after all.
"Ara? Another parent? Oh right. I didn't get any pictures of Danny and Nuria. I'll have to go back and check with the staff I think. It'd be neat to have a collection." Kay replied to Ecavi while a smile. Photography was her bread and butter.
"That would have been something to see alright. Wish I had been there to take some pictures of it too."
She looked over at Ceri when she was pointed out. Sunshine yellow... and midnight blue. Why of course! And now she was looking for it, she did notice the 'spots on Myze wear in fact star-shaped. "Oh yeah, I think you're right. And sharing and taking, you say Lena? Well that would be a good explaination."Nuria nearly dropped her sausage into the fire when a thule nearby by made such a spooky sound. She whipped her head around to look, realising the speaker as the pirate thule from the museum. Of course that brought back memories of the monsters and things down under the water.... and the huge shark which still lurked under her bath now!
But she remembered she had been made a pirate after that adventure and now was the chance to be one again. With a wave of her toasting fork she called out a loud "Yahh!!" And grinned, reaching to pick off her sausage and bite into it. Pirates still got hungry after all.
Unfortunatly she didn't know what a ghost story was and could only shrug her shoulders at Carlos and look puzzled. But if it was anything like the adventures
Saevire liked, it might be scary...A pair of pale ears pricked up at the sound of someone saying 'story'. Danica glanced away from where the redish thule with the coat was grinning wickedly, while his brother did his best to ignore him, to the source of the word. Oh! She recognised that older thule. She remembered her from a trip to museum, very long ago. She was the one who went off with Nuria. From what she could remember though, she didn't think the thule was interested in stories, or at least books. But they had said 'ghost stories'.... Danica didn't know what a ghost story was exactly, but it was a story and she was keen to find out more.
Giving Reve a poke, she nodded silently over to where the rest were. Perhaps if he was listening to a story he might stay quiet. Latpas Mathus narrowed his eyes and slid his gaze over to the crowd around the Liberality Thule. He shook his head a fraction of an inch and scooted a little further away from them. "I'm Mafus... an' I don' like them so much, nope. Too.. good. An' nice an' stuff." He nooded smartly to punctuate his opinion. Story? Hm? Had someone said story? He liked stories, he had found, from hearing Latpas tell so many, although badly. He rubbed his shoulder absently from the icy poke and glanced around excitedly. When were they starting? Who was telling the story?Lenachan358 "I too." Gaspar nodded yes and grinned at Mathus. He looked cool anyway and he seemed to be alright, so why not talk to someone sensible. "Wan' be fwiends ?" The green Thule asked still holding the forks like a treasure. If Mathus agreed, he would have something all the others didn't have. Was worth a lot, he bet. Ecavi Myze grits her teeth, her mouth opening enough to show that she too has fangs. Sinister as this new black and red thule looks, he didn't seem to be much of a threat- simply introducing himself. She glances past Crow to what must be his twin- who didn't look very happy.
Staying silent, she looks back at Crow nodding a greeting and inching back a little more. Ceri gasps when some others begin to realize that stories would be happening. Still forgetting she'd intended to tell Saevire Lucas could be a pirate too, she heads back over to the campfire and Ara.
"Luas! Story!" She says in a cheery, sing-song voice- grabbing his hand and trying to take him towards Saevire despite the fact that stories wouldn't be right away and probably would be around the campfire and not the table. "Greed and Liberality? That would make sense," Ecavi nods, then looks at Kay, "Yeah- I'm sure they'd have pictures in a file, that's where that little man got Myze and Ceri's pictures from." Arach Lucas blinked a bit as he felt Ceri's tug on his hand. "Sto-ee?" He repeated feebly, making his guardian giggle. He put the overlarge fork with the half-eaten sausage down--Ara grabbed it before it could touch the grass, thankfully saving the good meat--and got up to follow Ceri to wherever she deigned pull him. Once up, however, he made a mental scan, locating Raul not too far. Giving his beloved twin a mental hug (much to said twin''s displeasure), he grinned in no particular direction and squeezed the Day thule''s hand, as if saying he was ready to go.Ara watched the two Thule go off, and, for once, was not too worried about Lucas'' welfare (he was, after all, surrounded by other Thule and guardians). Looking around, she frowned sadly when she noticed Raul huddled under a table, looking helpless and angry. Biting her lip, she strode over, picking him up despite his brief screech of protest. "Hey there, buddy! You should be out making friends!" Raul grumbled as Ara brushed her fingers through his hair soothingly; Lucas was off having fun--without him, as usual--and without Lucas, how was he going to manage? Lucas was good at this meeting people stuff, not him! Slightly upset, he grit his teeth and crossed his arms. Decidedly, he had no intention of going out and meeting people. At least, not out of his own initiative.Taking the hint, Ara looked around for sociable-looking Thule she could leave Raul with: children, especially small ones, had a knack for become best friends very quickly. Of course, with Raul, that same idea could backfire on her, but it was worth a shot...that, or she''d keep him with her all evening, which, while unpleasant-sounding, might just become an option. Latpas Mathus furrowed his brow slightly. The concept of friends was a bit too... good for him, a bit too much like something his brother would like, really, but a good friend could always become a good minion or an accomplice, right? "Shoore," he said with a smirk, "Be friends." He smiled smugly to himself. Accomplice number one: possibly found. Ecavi Ceri gives a cheery smile to Lucas and Ara, squeezing the former's little hand in return and made her way back over to Saevire, babbling about ghost stories, the hotdog they'd been eating and pirates once more. Once again forgetting why she came up to the red thule this time, she pulls at Saevire's tail.
"Luas pirate too!" She says, holding up his hand in hers. Lucas was going to be a pirate too, of course- and they'd talk funny, and tell ghost stories. Ceri gasps when she remembers the stories, "An' stories!" She beams, pleased with herself for having brought up two nearly separate things. Lenachan358 Gaspar nodded and grinned. Now he had a possesion not even Carlos had. Wonderful...but what did friends do ? Hopefully they didn't share anything. He just shrugged as he looked at the others and snorted. Esspecially Crow...So he pointed at the halo one and hissed. His friend should know that the greedy one wasn't interested in this one at all."Pie rats ?" Carlos blinked and looked around. "Wassat ?" Not really used to watching pirates story, he slightly remembered Gaspar's favourite series 'Duck Tales'...weren't the bad ones sometimes pie rats ? "No good ?" He shook his head and looked at Nuria. "Yoo know Yana Jones ?" That was HIS favourite movie..Indiana Jones. Kay (DDB) "In a file huh? Well I'll have to go back and ask." Kay made a note to do so. She didn't want to leave out any bits of information that might help her cope with her two new and unusual charges.
Scratching her head, Kay glanced about. "I'm probably being a complete dunce... but who's Sajhiri, Saevire and Sedare? I've settled myself in and I haven't even gone to say hi to the hosts."Stuffing the rest of the sausage into her mouth, Nuria gulped it down in order to answer Carlos. She wasn't quite sure what a pirate was but she remembered some of the things Saevire did... and Saevire was a pirate. "Yahh!" She said again. "Piraate, yahh! Good!" She waved her fork like a sword and grinned. Oh and they had to battle sea monsters like squids and sharks. But imitating them just left her wiggling her fingers and making biting motions with her teeth. "Fight monstahs and umm... get teeff." She pointed at her own teeth to comfirm what she said. Pirate got teeth right? She wouldn't forget her little mishap when trying to get the shark's tooth at the museum.
Laughing at her own little actions, she stopped being a pirate enough to listen to Carlos's question. "Yana Yones?" She blinked and shook her head. No... she'd never heard of that one.Noticing the dream thule look around at her poking. She pointed over to where a few of the thule seemed to be gathering, her sister included. "Ory... Storry." She stated, getting good at the word as she often would go up to Kay with a book and demand it be read.
Nevertheless, she wanted to hear any stories that might be getting told. With or without Reve following, she picked herself up and wandered over, her tail and wings giving a swish or flap whenever she felt a little off-balance. quietsnooze Crow watches with a grin as Myze backs off, thinking it to be a game. He rocks himself back and forth, battered wings trembling. "Who you?" he asks loudly, rocking still as he addresses her. It doesn't seem to bother him whatsoever how frightening he comes off as. The interaction itself is most amusing, and that's all he really wants - to be amused. Listening closely, Mythos can hear the others talk faintly of pirates and something about monsters.. he hugs his stone before wrapping it up and tucking it away. He lies carefully down on his stomach, arms crossed under his chin to listen from a distance. He wants to know about these pirates and the stories connected to them. His tail flickers from side to side, content to forget about his brother if only for that moment. He is never really gone, at least not further than the halos will let him. Latpas Mathus glanced over at Crow, truly interested. He looked to be a good sight more malevolent than Gaspar, and dead sneaky in that trenchcoat of his. He'd have to look into getting something like that, only black, of course. Tan just wouldn't be sneaky enough. Unfortunately, it appeared that he was 'attached' to his twin by the means of interconnected halos. Halos?! That was completely and totally not demonic or evil or anything like that at all. Sheesh. He'd have to tell this guy what was up. "So..." He gestured vaguely in the direction of the Corruption Thule and his brother, saying: "You don' like 'im much? I haven't met 'im yet. I haven't met either of 'em yet, really. Wot's 'is bruvver like?" Reve hopped up wobbily and ambled happily after her, enjoying listening to the mixed babblings of all the Aduthule, and the general scene of the place. Pudgy lips pursed slightly, he wondered what kind of story would be told...Ecavi "Well, that's Saevire, that's Sedare, and that's Sajhiri," Ecavi points out each to Kay, she'd been introduced atleast. She smiles, "They all seem a bit occupied, don't they? I'm sure they don't mind you haven't said hi yet.." Myze turns her head away from Crow, indicating she was not going to answer his question. She looks back and narrows her eyes at him, why was he so interested in talking to her?
She glances up at the halos, finally, and sees that they are connected. That was curious- and a halo wasn't exactly fitting for someone as creepy as this one looked. But it explained why the reluctant twin stayed with him.Sajhiri Sedare began helping Thule assemble smores at the buffet after their marshmallows were toasted. She smushed the squishy items between layers of graham cracker and chocolate bar and passed them back to their owners. "Be careful, the marshmallow will be hot for a few minutes.." She cautioned.Sajhiri dragged the irons out of the fire and opened them, setting the pies on a platter for everyone to enjoy. She sprinkled a dusting of powdered sugar on the crusts. Saevire leapt up from the rock she perched on and over to a log. "Methinks, me hearties, it's time for a tale about this very place! A seeeecret story!" She squatted down on the log and gave everyone around her a meaningful look. "Many years ago this land was where the Gambino Island pirates buried all their booty. The place was a great hideout, right here in this clearing -- until the Barton Towners came and built this tower. The pirate Captain, El Nino, was enraged at the scurvy dogs for setting up house on his secret spot, and sent a raiding party to chase them away.
The leader of the raiding party had seen the tower's new resident, and knew him to be an old man with little spirit, so instead of making him walk the plank, they decided to scare him out. The Pirate crept up to the house and gently _rapped_ on the wall." Saevire knocked on the log she sat on in time with the rapping. She grinned at the other thule around her. Ecavi Ceri drags Lucas back over to the fire with her, sitting on the ground to listen to Saevire's story. It certainly gave her a better idea about what pirates were. She glances towards the tower when Saevire tells about it's origins, awed- it explained why this red thule claimed to be a pirate atleast..
She jumps when Saevire raps on the log, startled out of her gaze at the tower- she holds tighter onto Lucas' hand, staring at Saevire intently. Apparently stories were good for holding her attention. Lenachan358 "Noo good..." Gaspar growled and nodded as Mathus pointed at Crow. "He made...ouch." Quickly the greed Thule unfolded one of his wings and showed a slight, not very tragic, wound. After all it hadn't been so bad for Gaspar anyway because he HAD something Carlos didn't have. At least not yet...
"Bruvver say no sing." Gaspar explained. "Yoo wanna meet ?" Shaking his head he hissed at Crow again."Yana Joney do aventours. He saves things an gives 'em to peeple." Carlos smiled broadly as he tried to explain everything with his fingers. "Pie rats good, me pie rat too !" He explained and listened curiously to the story. Sajhiri Sedare settled down with a blueberry filled pie and nibbled on it, raptly listening to her sister's story. She sat near some of the smaller Aduthule, just in case they got scared.Saevire continued her story, after stuffing a marshmallow in her mouth and swallowing it down. "This attracted the attention of the tower owner, but finding nothing there, he went back to his work. Again the Pirate rapped on the wall." She again knocked on the log to illustrate, "This cat and mouse game went on for most of the night. The old man was becoming afraid of this mystery noise, so he reached for the axe he kept over the mantle. The next time the Pirate rapped, the man was prepared and chopped the Pirate's head off with a single blow! El Nino, on seeing how easily the old man cut down his best lieutenant, banned all people from setting footon the tower grounds. To insure this, he used an old curse he learned from a witch doctor on an island, and called on the spirit of the be- headed pirate to guard the land. It is said that on dark summer nights just like this one, the pirate can still be heard prowling around the grounds." She looked at the other Thule with an ominous gleam in her eyes. quietsnooze Mythos peers over his shoulder at his brother, trying to do it inconspicuolousy. His wing falls in the way and abstructs his vision, so he gives up on this idea. Leaning forward onto his crossed arms again, he seems to have missed the conversation Gaspar and Mathus were just having about him and his brother by the time he concentrates his listening on the group again. Tail flickering in the air, he watches with a yearning desire to join. When would it be his turn? Watching Myze closely as she narrows her eyes, Crow's mood twists into something happier. That's one of his favourite things to do, and she does it so well! Grinning wildly, his wings shake to reveal his excitement. A misguided idea arises, and he quickly assumes that the only reason Myze isn't talking is that she can't. "Who you'ss?" he asks, gesturing with one hand while the other three keep his balance. Not once has he fully depended on two legs. He peers out, eyes squinting, at the others, trying to find Myze's match. He forgets that if they're anything like him and his brother, determining this Thule's match wouldn't be as easy as he assumes. Ecavi Myze follows Crow's gaze out to the other aduthule, deciding she could interact with him without being overly social- atleast, not like Ceri. She uncrosses her arms and taps him on the shoulder to get his attention, and points out to Ceri by the campfire.
If the one behind him was 'his,' she assumes that he'd asked who her's was- and that was the bright yellow thule listening to the red ones story. Ceri squeals softly as Saevire's story gets scarier, and finishes- she glances around the yard anxiously, some rustling leaves near the tents seeming an awful lot like a headless ghost coming to get her. With a frown, she goes to Sedare- the biggest thule not telling the scary story- and clings to her. She looked calm, and her eyes weren't odd-shiny like the red one's eyes. All the while pulling Lucas with her. Lenachan358 While listening to the story Carlos eyes grew wider and wider, but he didn't make a single noise. This was so...scary. He watched Ceri clinging to the older one and for a moment he considered doing so too. But he was a boy, wasn't he ? And anyway, Indiana Jones would have never done so. "We figh pie rate weeout head...piece then." Grinning broadly about the wonderful idea he looked at the girls. What would they think about it ? Latpas Mathus shrugged, still stealing quick glances at the pair. The tan-coated Thule's brother looked like he wasn't enjoying his proximity to his twin, and was sitting as far away from his as their connected halos would allow. Pausing, he turned to Gaspar and shrugged again. "I seeee..." He smiled sympathetically, if falsely, at gaspar and his wound. "Nuffin' at all? S'not right." He shook his head gravely as if it were a great scandal. "Mebbe leter... I'll watch 'im fer a while." He peered over to where a crowd was gathering around Saevire, and flicked his tail toward them nonchalantly. "Wot's all thems doin' over there? We go see?" Instinctively, Reve clung to Danica's arm, not at all sure he liked this story much. Dark nights, beheaded pirates.. he didn't even know what a pirate was yet! He glanced nervously behind him, tightening his loose grip on the Ice Thule's chilly arm.Lenachan358 Gaspar just nodded very satisfied. Some of the other Thule looked scared and perhaps there was something interesting going on. As he catched the words of pirates his eyes started to sparkle. "Pirat loafs gold." The green Thule grinned. "Me a pirate !" quietsnooze Crow turns abruptly as Myze's attention strays, narrowing his eyes a little at the distraction. He doesn't quite have the patience for stories, or chooses not to. Instead, he sits down completely, silently admiring the dots of Myze's pattern, cocking his head almost 90 degrees in feeble attempts to connect the dots. Going cross eyed at one point, he only catches bits and pieces of the story. On the other hand, his brother is now holding on to every word. His eyes widen appropriately, and he's thankful he's lying down; for sure he'd be trembling, otherwise. His tail is wrapped and tucked under his foot, and his wings press down against his back as if to hide themselves. Mythos blinks once, waiting with frightened eagerness for the next part of the story to unfold. Latpas Mathus nodded smartly, hopping up onto four feet. "We make some trouble, yes?" If Gaspar was going to be a successful accomplice, he would have to prove that he was competent at the art of moving unseen and unheard. "Fowlow me!" He hissed dramamtically, slinking off casually, if not very quickly, into the empty space beside the enraptured listeners. Lenachan358 Gaspar had usually experienced that his mother wasn't fond of trouble, but if his new friend said so he would have fun. And after all pirates did so...and when everyone runs away they could get all the forks and the food...
The green Thule grinned and followed Mathus in a crowling movement into the crowd slowly. "What too doo ?" He whispered trying to block the mental contact to Carlos, who seemed to occupied with his new friends anyway. Jealousy arose in the green one, but he didn't say a word. Kay (DDB) Although Nuria wasn't sure about this Yana Joney she nodded at Carlos' agreement to being a pirate. Maybe Yana was a pirate too? They had adventures and got things. Well with Carlos it was another one to join them. Why, with so many other pirates and with big Saevire too, they could fight off ten sharks! Maybe she could ask Saevire to come and get rid of the one in the bath first...
But her thoughts are sidetracked as the story starts and she wriggles and clutches her toasting fork as the tale turns spooky. She didn't like the sound of the rapping either and gave a start, her tail lashing and her body heating up just a bit. Her ears drooped back as the tale turned to ghosts. They sounded worse than sharks! Even without their heads! Not to mention the people cutting off their heads. She dropped her fork and clasped her throat.
"B-but.. we pirites too? I don wanna git head cut off!" She cried in alarm.Danica bypassed the food table as she wandered over, silently helping herself to one of the sweet camp pies. It was rather good, she considered as she chewed a mouthful thoughtfully. But there were other things to attend to and she wasted no time heading over to sit near the circle of thule. She stayed a little further back from the fire, it was rather hot for her tastes, but within sight of Nuria. The girl didn't usually like stories but it seemed she'd found someone to pester and at least that left Danica free of her over-excitable reactions. But Danica had picked up her own trailing thule it seemed for no sooner had she sat down with her treat, Reve was right behind her.
Fortunatly he was quiet enough during the story and Danica watched and listened as Nuria jumped at the rapping and cowered at the mention of a headless ghost. How could anything be headless anyway? Danny thought to herself. It wouldn't be able to see where it was going let alone scare anyone. Still, she gave the old man credit for dealing with the pirates and not running away.
She was rather enjoying the tale when a sudden grasp at her arm made her instinctively pull away. Turning to look she found Reve attached to her limb and paused. Was he scared? Of just a little story?
"Nnly story." She stated calmly and gave a little tug to free her arm. But it didn't look like he was going to let go any time soon. "No real." At least that's what she figured. All stories were just made up. That's why they were stories. Arach Since some of the words in the story flew right over Lucas (as he had no experience, tactile or otherwise, to associate with them), he could feel Ceri's fright and that made him worry. When the Day Thule shuffled on the log a bit to cuddle up to Sedare, he did the same on the other side--not that he had much of a choice--effectively squeezing Ceri between himself and the older Thule. "Ceii?" he demanded, nuzzling her golden shoulder. "No scared. Jus' story."Raul was quite content, and even seemed to be dozing off in his caretaker's arms, when a spike of emotion from Lucas started him awake. Worry? Fear?! He grit his teeth and made a low growl, writhing out of Ara's grasp and breaking into a run, on all fours because it was less wobbly, towards his brother. As he made his way towards the Love thule, however, he could not take every obstacle into account, and so Mythos' presence went completely unnoticed--until he bumped into the gray-teal Morality Thule. Instinctively he stopped dead in his tracks and rolled to the side and out of the way, coming back up crouched like a wild animal, brows meeting between his eyes, teeth bared in aggression. In his mind, Lucas had calmed somewhat, but his brother's negative emotions were making his adrenaline run high.Ara watched her Hate Thule pick another fight, only this time she had to scowl because it was with a thin little Thule who obviously wasn't going to fight back if Raul went in for a swipe. "Raul," she called to him, watching the red and black Thule's tail twitch excitedly, "stop that! Stop it right now!" Getting up with a sigh, she tried to avoid attracting too much attention to the little slip-up of her vigilance, hoping not to make a scene. Ecavi Ceri, still clinging to Sedare, turns her head to look at Lucas. Not seeing the reason behind his explanation right away she whines and points towards the rustling trees. Her ears twitch slightly as she hears murmurs of the same explanation that Lucas had- it was just a story.
"N-no ghost?" she asks Lucas anxiously. Myze gets to her feet, ready to go comfort Ceri, unaware that Crow was playing connect the dots on her back or that Raul was heading there way. When she hears the bump of the hate thule running into the morality thule, she turns around to see what was going on.
It was Raul. She grits her teeth- Ceri's fear was going away, and without that urgency to go see her she was free to stay where she was. She narrows her eyes at him- he obviously likes picking fights with people. He eyes move from Raul to Ara, who was evidentally going to try to stop him. Latpas Mathus halted, hoping Gaspar wouldn't bump into him, as he was following closely behind. For once he couldn't really think of anything to do, but quickly located the source of the story as the red Thule with the eyepatch. He eyed Saevire maliciously, then turned to Gaspar and pointed her out. "She ees tellin' the stowy, awright? And since eveeboddie lissen to her, we sneak up behind an' scare ev'ryone." He narrowed his eyes fiercely. He'd give them all a fright, right at the climax of the story, when they were all the most frightened. "No real?" he repeated, shivering. "Yoo shoore?" Reve released Danica's arm nervously and glanced around again, rubbing his hands together to warm them, as well as take his mind off the story. Headless ghosts and pirates and--! It was all so scary! What if the headless pirate was here now?Kay (DDB) "Shure Imm shure." Danica said with a firm nod. Stories came out of books or were made up out of your head. She had listened to a fair few stories in her short lifetime already, no no things like trolls and ghosts and princesses riding the winds couldn't be true. It'd be on the news otherwise...
"Jush to liswen to." She emphased, glad now he'd let her arm go yet he still kept looking round and acting nervous. She didn't offer any other form of comfort though. He'd soon figure out she was right when no ghosts would appear. Sajhiri Saevire grinned at her little pirate brood. "Of course, those of us who ARE pirates are safe from the ghost! It's the rest of ye land lubbers who have te watch out fer yer heads!" She let out a cackle and hopped down off the log.Sedare stood and began putting away the food items to pass out the campfire pies. She loaded them into a basket and moved around the fire, pointing out the various flavors as she offered them. Lenachan358 "Alwight, we scare." Gaspar nodded and followed Mathus as silent as possible. Hopefully nobody had noticed the two crawling up behind Saevire. "Joo say go and we attack." The Thule mentioned quietly as he was close to grab the red girl's leg to make everyone think he was a pirate. He would get attention then and it was after all better then gaining nothing. Latpas "A-all right. If you say so!" His lip trembled as he said this, with some difficulty. Nothing appeared to frighten him momentarily, so his fears were assuaged for the present. Maybe she was right...Mathus paused and tapped his lips pensively, listening in on the story. Something about a headless pirate? Maybe... "Gaspar?" He whispered urgently. "Yoo think yoo could find somefink, like a coat? We act like a headless pie-rate?" He hoped Gaspar would understand the reference to the story. Sajhiri The rest of the evening and the overnight sleeping goes peacefully, as Sedare keeps her twin in check and away from terrifying the other twins overnight. In the morning parents pick up their kiddos and life goes on. blaugh

Quote: Dear Journal, What an evening! The girls went to that slumber party last night, and managed to stay all night. Myze even managed to behave herself, which I found quite impressive! While I was there I met some other aduthule guardians, but sadly I didn't see Koko there. I found out I'm not the only one who adopted some abandoned aduthule. It's sad that others were abandoned, but despite these circumstances it's good to know I'm not the only one just starting. I know Ceri made a whole bunch of new friends, I'm not sure there's a way to get on her bad side. She was just everywhere while I was around. Myze, on the other hand, didn't seem to want to interact with any of the other aduthule- I'll have to try to get her to be a bit more social, it's not good. I think I should also look into how quiet she is- Ceri is almost constantly babbling and Myze doesn't say a thing. Anyway, they had a wonderful time. Ceri was babbling about pirates when she got home, I'll have to find a story book with some in it. - Ecavi

"Alright," Ecavi smiled and stepped in, "I have to talk to you both about something."
"Wha?" Ceri asked chipperly, shutting the book.
"Well, Halloween is coming up," Ecavi began, walking over to the bed and sitting on the floor beside it.
"What dat?" Ceri asked, tilting her head. Myze glanced over, vaguely interested.
"It's a holiday where kids dress in costumes and go trick-or-treating," Ecavi explained, "They get candy from neighbors?"
"Candy?" Ceri brightened, which seemed nearly impossible.
"That's right," Ecavi grinned, "I'll make costumes for you both if you want to go."
"Ya!" Ceri nodded enthusiastically. Myze stayed silent, but didn't cross her arms or look away so Ecavi took that as a yes.
"Alright, what do you want to dress up as?" Ecavi asked, having an inkling what Ceri would say.
"PIRATE." Ceri exclaimed. Both Ecavi and Myze rolled their eyes, Ceri liked pirates after the slumber party.
"Ok, what about you Myze," Ecavi looked at the starry thule.
Myze gave her a blank stare.
"Um," Ecavi scratched the back of her head, "Pirate it is, then. I'll get to it for you guys, then." She smiles and gets to her feet.

"haha, no no. you say that once I knock on the door, Tabitha."
Tabitha purrs and tilts her head. "Sorry." She wags her tail, which is encased in a gray, striped cloth material, as with the rest of her body to make her have the appearance of a tabby cat. She shifts her feet, whcih, with the costume, are gray paws. The outfit has a hood at the top for her ears, and her face that is showing is painted gray.
Deitsae knocks.
"TRICK OR TREAT!" Tabitha blurts out hapilly.
Sae rolls her eyes. at least she was being loud for once. Tabitha was at least excited about Halloween.
"Hold still Jasmine!" Ecavi sighs, trying to clasp a necklace around the dragons neck. Her wings flutter a bit as she struggles to keep the excited child still and finally manages to get it around her neck. Jasmine chirps excitedly, her ears twitching at the sound of someone approaching the doorway and shouting. This was very exciting. Myze and Ceri are sitting on the chair, waiting for their turn to have their costumes touched up before they can go.
"Is it done yet?" Jasmine asks.
"Almost," Ecavi fluffs up the furry part of the collar and straightens the part of the crown going over her face, "Alrig-" There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it," she says, getting to her feet, "I'll be back to finish you two up." She comments to Myze and Ceri as she exits the living room and heads for the front door. She pulls the door wide open and grins.
Sae beams and beams with a friendly and familiar smile and eyes, however, her hair- a wig, rather- is brown and for-like, covered with a red cap. She wears bright yellow shoes, green pants, a dark blue top, and in her left hand is a bat. "Hi Ecavi!" she waves.
"Trick or TreaT!" Tabitha says again, looking up at Ecavi expectantly. "Imma C-A-T." she says proudly.
Ecavi raises an eyebrow momentarily at Sae, dressed as a nurse herself since it was a fairly simple costume- white clothes and the little hat. Then she looks down at Tabitha and beams, "You certainly are! And what a beautiful cat you are," She beams and steps aside so they can come on in, "We'll see what we have in here for you, then. Come on in, guys."
Jasmine's ears perk when she hears Sae and Tabby from the living room. With an excited giggle she walks over to the hallway and peeks out of the living room, "Hellooo!"
Sae smiles and nods to Ecavi, "you got a new car?" she tilts her head, and lets Tabitha inquisitively enter Ecavi's house first.
Tabitha enters the strange house and blinks, looking about her cautiously. She sniffs the floor and looks up at the ceiling, then to her left and right. "mmm..candy?"
Ecavi steps back, biting back a laugh when Sae asks about a new car, shaking her head. She grabs some candy from a bowl near the doorway and holds it out for Tabby, "And where are you keeping all the candy you're going to get tonight?" She grins, deciding to focus on Tabby instead of question Sae right now.
Jasmine marches out of the living room, careful not to step on any part of her dress, "Tabby! You're a kitty." She giggles.
Sae blinks at the lack of response, but only pokes at her false human ears and grumbles something about fualty wiring. "peeh." she frowns.
Tabby tilts her head, and waddles over to Ecavi. She opens her mouth to answer that Sae has her jack-o-lantern bag, but is interupted by Jasmine. "I am a feline." she nods to Jasmine. "and you are..." she blinks "braid's mide?"
Ecavi smiles at Tabby and Jasmine and inches around to Sae when they start talking. She closes the door, and pulls at the bag Sae is hold and puts the candy in it, "Hard of hearing tonight?" She asks, eyeing the sides of Sae's head. It'd never really occurred to her that she could remove her ears.
Jasmine blinks, "feeline?" What a strange word, she'd never heard it. Must be something like a striped cat. She tilts her head when Tabby asks if she is a bride's maid. She didn't really know what that was either- what she did know was that she was the opposite of a maid, "I'm a princess. Because dragons CAN be princesses." She puffs slightly, lifting her head higher.
Sae blinks at Ecavi, taking a moment to decipher her words. "UM- yeah." she sighs, poking her ears again. "It's such a hassle to wear these fake humans ear. I have to remove a lot of cords, and cables, and I just can't hear the same." she grumbles, "but I wanted my costume to work." she shrugs, "I may be a little hard of hearing tonight, though."
Tabitha tilts her head, "but princesses don't essist an'more, so like yew can't relleh be a princess no matter what."
"Oh," Ecavi smiles meekly, she'd never know what to do with things like that, "Well, I'll pay enough attention for the both of us then- ok?" She winks, unable to help but wonder just how much of that Sae caught.
Jasmine stares at Tabby for a moment- what was she talking about? How could she side with those kids at the park too? Jasmine scowls, "Well you can't be a kitty neither!"
"Gah!" Ecavi, luckily not hard of hearing, catches the conversation going on, "Nono!" She steps over to them and nudges them a little ways apart, knowing Jasmine is sensitive about the whole princess thing and not wanting her to shock Tabby, "Min, don't argue, please."
"uhuh." Sae says, not really hearing her as she continues to poke. "but you'll look after Tabby a bit more for me, then?" she grumbles, "these weren't such a smart choice.."
Tabby tilts her head, and blinks. "but kitties exist in the world- I jus' never heard of princesses existing." she looks up to Ecavi, and asks in a whisper: "do princesses 'sist?"
Ecavi would laugh at Sae's question if she wasn't standing between the two children.
"That doesn't mean you're a kitty!" Jasmine blurts out, scowling once more, making Ecavi wince slightly.
"There are no princesses in Gaia, I'm pretty sure- but that doesn't mean they don't exist," Ecavi looks at Tabby, "And it doesn't matter, that's what tonight is for- pretending to be something that you're not. We may even pass by some kids dressed as dragons, you know."
Ceri peeks out of the living room, a red bandana around her head and an eyepatch over one eye- getting anxious, she'd decided to go find out what was going on. She waddles out of the doorway with a grin, and points to Tabby, "Kii! Sibber me tibbers!" She giggles and looks back into the living room to try to get Myze to come out too.
zzrrrtttt a spark shoots out of Sae's ear. "g-gah!" she hisses a bit, "I'll stop poking these now." she blinks and notices Ecavi holding the two dragons apart. "Eh?" she walks over, "what's wrong now?"
Tabby looks at Ecavi with a dissatisfied look on her face. "bu' you can't pretend to be someth'n tha's not real." she frowns, not grasping the concept. "like I saw kid as a ghost, but ghosts don' essist either."
Ecavi looks at Tabby and bites her lip a bit, she didn't understand what she was trying to say and there had been a ghost sighting at the Noodle Animal park- but that didn't mean anything. "That's what pretending is," she tries to explaining, "pretending that it's real, that it exists."
"Tabby isn't fun at playing pretend," Jasmine huffs, not really seeing the sad side of it.
Ceri waddles out of sight, back into the living room, babbling to herself..
Tabby gets a flustered look on her face when Jasmine talks of playing pretend, how she isn't fun. "I'm fun, jus' pretend is illogeecale." she huffs. "how can yew play someth'n not real? yew dunno how to act!"
Sae sighs, not getting what the fight is about, but none the less she goes over to Tabby. "Whatever it is Tabby, don't worry about it." she pats her on the head, "be nice, okay?"
Tabby frowns at Sae. "'kay, but Jasmine and Ecavi are illogeekal."
"aw, they're not egotistical, Tabby." she looks at Ecavi and smiles sheepishly, hoping that's what her dragon said.
"Pretend is fun! I can act better than you!" Jasmine growls a bit, gritting her teeth, glaring at Tabby.
Ecavi frowns, and mutters sadly, "We haven't even left yet.." She sighs, and then starts quite dramatically when she sees the look on Jasmine's face, "Jasmine!" Jasmine closes her mouth and looks at Ecavi, her anger calming a bit at the scolding- until she hears Tabby tell Sae that her and 'cavi are 'illogeekal.' She didn't have to know what it meant to know it was an insult of some kind.
"Hey!" Jasmine turns back to Tabby furiously, growling again- theres a sharp snapping sound from her teeth.
"Jasmine!" Ecavi puts a hand over her eyes for a second, then really pulls Jasmine away from Tabby, "Calm down or you won't be going trick-or-treating!"
Jasmine tenses for a moment, then allows herself to be pulled back- even if Tabby was being mean, she still wanted to get candy.
Tabitha gasps at Jasmine's snapping, and whimpers, but with a dark, scorning look on her face. However, she quietens and looks down at the floor.
Sae blinks, wha thad happened? She comforts Tabby best, "hey, it's okay, Tabitha. How's about this, we have some candy for you, hm?"
Tabby takes some of the candy Ecavi gave her earlier, but only fiddles with the wrapper- tears well in her eyes, but she does not exactly 'cry'.
Sae looks gravely from Tabitha to Ecavi- what to do?
Ecavi frowns looking from Tabby to Sae, and then back to Jasmine, "Min, you can't be like that."
"It's not my fault!" Jasmine grumbled- 'cavi was siding with other people again.
"It's not her fault, either," Ecavi puts a hand to her forehead and leans on the wall, "You can't start fights, Jasmine- especially since we know that if you're angry you'll shock people. Now you'll either have to behave, and keep calm, or you'll have to stay at home while the rest of us go trick or treating."
Jasmine pouts, "Fine. I'll be good."
Ceri peeks back out from the living room, still as cheerful looking as ever. She pulls Myze out from the living room as they both step into the hall- Myze is wearing a pirate costume as well, only she has a captain hat on instead of a bandana and eyepath. Both are wearing rather billowy clothes, and Myze has a stuffed parrot in one clawed hand.
"Sibber me tibbers!" Ceri says brightly. Then looking around at all the sad and angry faces, she frowns. Myze looks around at everyone apathetically.
Tabitha looks up with a frown to Ecavi and Jasmine, fiddling with her candy. She suddenly wasn't so excited about trick-or-treated. Her eyes noticably glossy, but not crying, Tabby and shoots Jasmine a stern glare. She was just reasoning logic to the yellow one, after all- but it didn't make her satisfied that she got Jasmine in trouble.
Sae just watches- she could get the majority of waht was going on, but without very good hearing, it was hard to understand exactly what they were fighting about. She simply sighs and pats Tabitha on the head.
Tabby looks over to the Aduthule, still frowning, but seemingly interested enough to keep her eyes on them.
Ecavi nods at Jasmine sternly, and kneels down beside her, "You have to be careful, remember." She shakes her head and then looks back at the others.
Ceri gives a strange scowl and waddles over to the clearly sad Tabitha and pats her on the head, "Good kii." She smiles hopefully. Myze stays by the living room instead of joining the others.
"Alright," Ecavi sighs, "Well, do we want to get going, then?"
Tabitha blinks when Ceri pats her on the head. "'s you a pirate? Pirates exist," she sniffles a bit, "black beard n' some pirates off coast of Africa...." she says quietly.
Sae blinks and looks to Ecavi, "hm? what? sorry. I didn't catch that."
Ceri nods brightly, "Pirate! Sibber me tibbers!" She grins and pulls out a plastic dagger that's more than big enough to be a sword for a foot high thule. She wiggles it around the air a bit and then taps at one of Tabby's paws with it, "Yaah!" She giggles. Myze watches from off to the side, shooting a look at the stuffed parrot she's holding.
Ecavi points to the door, "let US get GOing." She emphasizes parts of the sentence that may help Sae get the point of what she's trying to say. She turns to the table the bowl of candy is on and grabs three plastic pumpkins- two of them smaller than the other so that the aduthule can manage them, she hands the thule their's and holds onto to Jasmine's since she has to use all her feet to walk.
Tabitha tilts her head and recoils her paw when Ceri taps it with her plastic dagger. "..yah?" she squeaks.
Sae nods to Ecavi, "er-okay. come on, Tabby." she stands up here.
Ecavi nods and goes over to the door once more, looking over everyone, "Alright everyone? Let's get going." She smiles brightly, looking at Jasmine- she really wanted her to enjoy Halloween, but she couldn't just let her and Tabby argue. She opens the door and steps out of the way so everyone can get outside.
Jasmine gets to her feet and goes out the door without looking at anyone else. Ceri squeals excitedly and goes to grab Myze's arm and pull her outside as well.
Sae sighs and pats Tabby on the head. "I don't know what happened, Tabby," she whispers to her dragon, "but don't worry. Just try not to call people egotistical anymore, or whatever,..okay?"
Tabitha sighs, "I don' get it." she lets herself be pushed out by Sae.
"hehe, don't worry. You'll get LOTS of candy~"
Ecavi closes the door behind them all and steps off the porch, "Alright!" She rubs her hands together, "Where do we want to go first?" She was getting a little more excited now that they were going- and of course, she figured if she acted more excited then the others might start to cheer up as well.
Jasmine walks to the end of the walkway and looks around at the other houses, shrugging- was there a certain pattern to where you went first?
Ceri giggles and waddles off ahead of the others, pulling Myze with her, "Yaah!"
Tabitha makes no suggestion, but, like Jasmine, she does peer around, looking for some sort of pattern.
Sae coughs, looking about her. She sees Myze running off in one direction. "WELL, I guess we'll just follow Ceri?" she smiles, giggling at the cute little aduthule.
Ecavi smiles, "Alright then, Ceri- you lead the way." She laughs inwardly, they'd be zig-zagging all over the place if she lead the way the whole time. Ceri grins and, still pulling Myze with her, heads straight for the neighbor-across-the-road's house. Myze does well staying calm and allowing herself to be dragged around by Ceri.
Jasmine's ears turn, and she follows after the aduthule, getting a little more into the whole thing again.
Tabitha blinks, and as she and Sae get close to the house, she, too, exclaims: "trick or treat!", but with some hesitance.
Sae chuckles a bit.
"When the door opens, guys," Ecavi smiles at them.
There's the sound of footsteps getting closer to the door after a moment, and then it's pulled open- revealing a woman dressed as a bunny holding a bowl of candy with a smile on her face.
"Sibber me tibbers!" Ceri exclaims again, holding out the little pumpkin. Myze stays silent and holds up her hand that holds both her pumpkin and the parrot.
"Trick or treat," Jasmine mumbles, nudging the bag 'cavi is holding to indicate that it's hers.
"Trick or treat!" Tabby says again when the woman comes out with bunny ears and a bowl of candy. "dormesticated felines sometimes eat rabbits!" she says matter-of-factly. "but I like candy.." she adds cutely and nudges Sae, who has her bag.
The woman smiles brightly at them, "Well aren't you all adorable!" She smiles at Tabby, "They do? Well, I'm glad a cat like you will settle for candy." She puts some candy in each pumpkin the aduthule are holding, and some candy in each bag the two adults are holding for the dragons.
"What do you say?" Ecavi says.
"Thank you," Jasmine mumbles.
"Yaah!" Ceri grins.
Ecavi laughs, "Close enough, Ceri. Thank you."
Tabby nosd when the woman puts in the candy, "thank you" she chimes in, much to Sae's approval, who probably was at least able to make out that much in the conversation.
"how much candy will we get?" she asks Sae, "like whuts the kwantatee?"
Sae blinks, "um. I'm sorry, Tabby. I can't really hear me." she laughs, "Remember?"
The woman smiles, "Have fun you guys." She closes the door.
Ecavi smiles at Tabby, hearing the question she asked Sae, "It depends on how many houses we go to."
Jasmine listens to the answer, curious herself about that, then she looks at the candy in the bag Ecavi was holding- she didn't get much. It must take a lot of houses to get lots of candy. Ceri, on the other hand, is now sitting contently on the step trying to get the wrapper off of her piece of candy.
"Where to next, Ceri?" Ecavi asks, looking towards the thule, "Hey! You're supposed to wait until we get home." She laughs quietly.

Quote: What fun! We went Trick or Treating, Jasmine, Ceri, Myze, Tabby, Sae and I. It was great fun, actually. We got off to a rough start- I think Jasmine shocked Tabby for telling her she couldn't be a princess. There's no way Tabby could have known that Jasmine would be sensitive about that, and I felt bad disciplining Jasmine for something she can't control but she can't be so tempermental. Sae was having some hearing problems, so she didn't really catch what was going on.. Anyway, after that little episode we all left. We let Ceri lead the way, since she seemed to be the most excited. It was quite entertaining, watching them all try to figure out when you're supposed to say 'trick or treat' and when you're supposed to eat your candy. I don't think Ceri ever really caught on, since she stopped after several places to try to eat what she was given. Now I just have to worry about making the candy last, and try to prevent any stomach aches or misplaced sticky food substances.. .. - Ecavi
