Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kali, from her spot on the floor, had noticed the small pink peep there. How'd she get on the floor? The big oaf that was now grumping at Sakura had thankfully missed the small ferment.

Kali got up and walked over, scooping up the little peep ferment. She set her on the counter near where the others were playing. "There you go, little one. You can join in the game easier up here than on the floor. It's dangerous down there."


The ex-space pirate moved from the counter back to where she'd been repairing the conveyor belt. She was keeping an ear to the young man talking to her gogo....just in case.



Sakura looked up at the young man, arching a brow in boredom. He glanced at the bag, then frowned. "You know...you really are an abusive fellow, aren't you? Carrying them in a paper bag. Would you carry a baby in a bag like that? Cause that's what you were doing."

He glanced up at the man, then pointed toward where Kali was working. "She can answer you. I'm not going to talk to someone like you...oppressor."

"You can come out," the teen motioned to the two in the bag, then pointed to Ascher. "And look...another gogo you can talk to...that's your age."

The bag rustled loudly as it was put down on the counter near the other GoGo blobs, and some helpful nudging and shaking of the bag watermeat flopped out and rolled to a stop on the hard surface. It was the best place to leave the former plush as far as Zvon was concerned. Maybe it was best that it had a chance to mingle with those with similar...characteristics.

Zvon looked around for an empty table. He wasn't going to get many answers from talking to tiny blobs chasing one another anyway. Plus, he still hadn't had anything to eat, so maybe there was something on the menu that would curb his hunger and perhaps someone would clear his confusion.

Watermeat rolled over on his side watching sadly as his bag-carrying-transport-person walk away. But this was no time to despair! He rolled over to the other side and saw the other GoGo somewhat-running around. He didn't know why, but he felt oddly familiar with them and wanted to get to know them.

He would have to catch up to one first.

Panda giggled when she realized Hot Shot was chasing her. So she was the target, was she? He'd never catch her! Trying her hardest not to wobble and be slowed down, she picked up speed ran, zooming around the countertop.

Ascher frowned after the book was explained. A prince who loved a duke? Wasn't he supposed to like one of the princesses? Although, Asch had to admit, he didn't make many distinctions between male and female at his age. It just didn't matter much, and Miyuki had always said that it was best not to look at gender in love, but to look at the person themselves. So he supposed the duke must have something about him the prince really liked. It was.....acceptable. Not Disney, but acceptable.

Then the rude boy came along. Ascher crossed his arms and huffed. On both the fact that now Sakura wasn't paying attention to him, and on top of that, the boy was very rude and what Miyu would call 'a p***k'. He didn't like pricks. Generally, Miyuki told him they were mean. But, then he was just plain hurt and offended that Sakura didn't wanna be around him. Who didn't wanna be around Ascher? He was adorable, sweet, charming at times but he hadn't fully grown into it, and he was a pretty little boy. Crossing his arms with a huff, he looked up at Sakura with a small cross face.

"You make a horrible princess. You're pretty enough to be a princess or a duke, but you're not very social.......can I read the book when you're done though?" he said crossly, his tone slowly getting more and more excited as he thought about reading the book. Looking to the little bull-looking thing he cocked his head. What a strange individual. He looked wierd. "What are YOU? You look like the stuff that gets all clumpy when Miyu leaves the milk out on the counter too long....only you have horns....are you a boy or a girl? You just look like a badly drawn picture book animal to me."

Ascher cocked his head looking at the Milkis, totally not getting what he was. It wasn't his fault he was so uncomplimentary though. He was totally transfixed by Sakura right now, and Asch was not one to share his new things. Though he figured he DID need to make some friends among the smaller GoGos. But first, he wanted to know if he could borrow that book. Turning to Sakura he tugged on the teen's pantleg.

"So can I borrow it when you're done?"

""

Asch frowned and his shoulders slumped as Sakura scolded him. Why was he wrong just because he was naturally prettier than someone else, and happened to point it out? He sighed and nodded ruefully, not really wanting to do the deed, but really wanting that book, and the attention of Sakura for the moment. He had to be a nice prince to do that. Remembering some of the things that he'd seen princes say in stories and movies, he toddled over to Milkis and bowed slightly, looking up as his hair pooled on the table around him.

"Please accept my warmest apollogies, strange traveller. What I MEANT to say was that you were different and new to these parts, and perhaps you would accompany me to wreak havoc and become 'it' in a game of tag.......after I get a promise to get that book. It's a really interesting book......do you read books? " he started very noble-like and with a genuine air of gentlemanlyness about him, but then dwindled off into a childlike interest in reading and learning, and in the joy of meeting someone new. He walked over and patted the strange little Milkis on the shoulder, nodding with determination.

"We shall wreak much havoc and have many adventures among the commonfolk, you and I. But never forget that I am your new rival.....every prince has to have a rival, you see. I'm Ascher by the way, but call me Asch!" he smiled, cocking his head, determined to be friends with this strange fellow and yet do everything better than him at the same time. Looking to Sakura meaningfully, he raised a tiny eyebrow and crossed his arms.

"May I borrow it when you're done NOW? Not only have I apollogized, but we've become friends....like Robin Hood and Little John. Only I'm Robin Hood because I'm the hero, and I'll end up wit the fair damsel......or duke....I suppose princes can end up with dukes now. I'll have to learn more about that," he quipped, nodding with newfound drive to learn more about being a prince and doing things in a generally charming manner. He'd have to watch that acid tounge of his though.....this was gonna be hard.

{{ Hey guys, I feel silly having a char with a japanese name taking care o' mah ferment.....besides, I have a custom I'm going to quest for and a cool doctor oc to go with it.....so.....yeah. We're just going to say from this point onward that Ascher is Ruri's (the Ruri chef as far as rp goes) GoGo, and insert everything that says 'Miyu' with 'Ruri'.....sorry for the annoying change. Ru is being snippy. }}

Ascher nodded sagely to Sakura. He knew Ruri wouldn't care. Hell, the girl had lots of books like that herself.....mostly with vampires in them of some sort....except Twilight.....for some reason she got really mad when THAT book was mentioned. Ascher vowed to never read it to avoid her wrath.

"Yeah. Ruriko'll let me read it! She reads lots of books like that, but they're all too big for me to read.....this one is my size." he smiled, wondering when Ruri was going to come back. He didn't mind the prospect of new friends, but he wanted to make sure she was around. Turning to the little milkis ferment, he smiled, cocking his head.

"Now that that's done, you wanna go play?"

Hot Shot ran to catch up, he picked the wrong ferment! She was fast! He got close to her and then slipped on some sauce that had been split on the counter. He slid right into Salmon. "You're it!"

Sally was knocked over and then frowned. "Hot Shot!" She looked around and spotted Panda and Philly still running. She tried to run as fast as she could, which wasn't too fast. She had pretty short legs.

Toshiro stared at the troll in utter disbelief. He was a father? But he was much too young to be a father! What on Earth was he going to do now? That probably meant he was going to have to come visit this shop more often so that Milkis could be around other GoGos and the like. Great, just what he needed. Sighing he shook his head and asked, "Do I feed them? And what do I feed them if they're food? Wouldn't it be cannibalistic for them to eat?"

Milkis blinked his large eyes at the pink haired GoGo. He didn't know what to say at first because he wasn't used to speech, but this male seemed happy enough to answer his questions.

"What is a book? I've never heard of one before. And could your caretaker make me one of whatever they are? I don't have anything like that of my own." He asked in a rush. He'd never spoken so much in his short life, but there was something wondrous going on at that minute.

The future bookworm was learning all about something he'd never thought of before. He didn't know his ABCs yet but that didn't matter. He was about to learn of something that would change his life forever.
