Kami resisted the urge to grit her teeth and knock Zac upside the head. The reasons being that she hated the feeling of gritting her teeth, and Zac, who was much bigger and stronger, probably wouldn't enjoy being hit, especially with her darling little dolls around. This was a rather hard urge to resist. Kami hated hearing people repeat what she says, and Zac did just that. Of course, Zac is easily confused and takes thing too literally anyways, so she should just get over the whole thing. Not like that would ever happen, though.
Kami took a seat on the couch. She watched the two dolls carefully and tried to think. Her mind was relatively blank on this matter, maybe as blank as Zac's on every matter, so she just used the only idea she had: "Kori, Tsurara, can you tell us why you can talk?"

Kori blinked and wobbled to stand up on two legs. "Soul... soul..." That's all she would say, over and over. She took a wavering step over towards Zac before sitting down. "Soul!"
Tsurara was sitting himself up straight. "Momma... care..." He extended his arms towards his mother and looked like a toddler wanting to be carried. He grinned and started to grab at the air. "Momma... care...ee..."
Zac's heart was about to melt. "Care-ee? You want me to carry you?" She picked up her "son" and started to snuggle against him. "Awww...." Kori started to pout and scream shouts or "Care-ee" as well.

"That was... that was helpful," Kami said, a bit less sarcastic than usual so as not to hurt the impressionable little children in any major way. She watched Zac fawn over them, fawn over the things she was calling creepy a few moments before. Even though they were talking, they were still dolls... right? Well, that thought wasn't getting her anywhere, so she took another route. "I'm guessing that these things are alive, then... With 'souls,' as Kori said... But, how?"

Tsurara started to wave his arms frantically... it was in jerky motions... but still frantic. "Care! Momma care!"
Zac started to shake Tsurara up and down. "Is he broken? I'm already carrying him!" Poor Tsurara made a short cry at being shooken, so Zac soon stopped. "What's he mean by 'Momma care?'"
Kori stood up. "Momma cared... Momma cared... move.... talk!" The little doll was trying to explain this, but it wasn't coming out right at all! In fact, she was having extreme difficulty just moving.

Kami mouthed the two dolls words a few times. She filled in the blanks with what she thought was right, and then: "Zac cared, so Kori and Tsurara started to move and talk?" If that was it, it still didn't make sense, at least not to Kami. Kami was too logical and realistic to figure out on her own. This just doesn't happen, so it must not be happening...
"Maybe this a dream." She stood, whacking her kneecap into the coffee table in front of her. Through clenched teeth, she wheezed, "Or not... Ow..." But this still didn't explain anything...

Zac smiled and started to cradle both dolls in her arms. "Maybe because I cared and nurtured them the souls inside of them decided to spring forth." It was surprising that such an answer would come from Zac, as she was usually a nut and made no sense whatsoever. To someone with an imagination (and a maternal streak) this answer could help fill in some gaps.
Kori fell asleep in her mother's arms. Her last words before dozing off were, "Momma nice... I wanted to come..."
Tsurara was busy trying to wiggle out of Zac's arms. He wanted to go and check out Yoru, and to see why he wasn't talking.

As if being called by his friend, Yoru started to move. He wobbled on his thin legs, burbled something, then collapsed onto the top of the end table. He said something else, in a tongue he had made up all on his own, or, more accurately, just a bunch of gibberish. He sat up and reached up toward the ceiling, still muttering something in the same language. He flexed his fingers, grinned, then said, "Bah."
Kami squealed and immediately jumped to her dolls side. She didn't pick him or even touch him. She was afraid that if she did, he would return to his inactive state. She watched the creature stand and stare at her with his cold, red, eyes-wait, red? Why are they red. "Zac, is there a reason Yoru's eyes are red?"

Zac glanced from side to side and then lifted Kori up to hide the guilty look on her face. "No..." She was turing beat red and fidgeting in her spot on the floor. It was very easy to catch poor Zac in a lie.
Tsurara smiled and reached out for his friend. "Yoru!" He then fell down and found it quite difficult to get back up. He was having a hard time moving about, and trying to walk on a shiney, polished table did not make it easier.

Yoru waved his arms frantically, calling out to Tsurara the best he could. "Bah, bah! Bah!" It seemed that either Yoru had found his favorite word, and he decided that Bah was an easier name than Tsurara. He continues to 'bah' and speak in gibberash. What he lacked in the vocal area, he made up in movement. He wasn't as stiff as the other two were when they first awakened, so he could move around with with a much more natural look. When he became impatient with Tsurara, he finally took to all fours, babbling to himself, then shot forward at the other doll. He slid, then stopped when he fell over beside the boy. He muttered a complaint, but he quickly got over it as he tried to glomp his boyfriend--wait, no... friend that just happened to be a boy.
Kami raised an eyebrow, extremely confused and not really sure about what to do next. "You were right; they are friends."

Zac folded her arms and gave her friend a smug look. "Told ya so." It was amazing to see her little doll make friends so quickly with Yoru, and it warmed her heart. She cuddled Kori close.
Kori seemed intent to stay with Zac she did not want to make friends nor did she want any attention to be diverted from herself. With an angry, "Brother!" she summoned Tsurara's attention. When she actually recieved it, she wasn't quite sure about what to do.
Tsurara squirmed as he was attacked by Yoru. "Momma! Momma!" He was kicking and fussing, but making a small laughing sound at the same time. You could tell he enjoyed being near everyone and seeing everyone smile, even if he wasn't quite sure about what was going on. He looked at Kori when she called his name and hopped up and down - well, tried to. "Kori! Kori!"

Yoru's expression changed from just plain confused to squished and confused as he let go of Tsurara. He did not, however, realize that if he lets go of the thing that is supporting him, that he would then have to support himself. He scrambled around on the table for a moment before he figured out what was happening. Fearing that he would be squished by the hopping boy, he twisted sideways, rolling a few inches away across the table top. He jumped to his feet, wide-eyed and confused, before he plopped back down to sit indian-style. He turned his gaze toward Kori, then, as everything finally made sense to him. He scrunched up his nose at the girl and grumbled to himself. "Bah."
Kami watched in amazement, mumbling to herself about how cool it was. "Yeah, now I'm confused."

Tsurara trotted over to Yoru after quickly loosing intrest in his attempt to contact Kori. His movements were still stiff and jerky but somehow he managed. The tiny boy sat down in front of Yoru, mimicking his actions with just a bit more difficulty after finding out that stiffened legs do not bend well. A grin spread across his face as he started to rock back and forth."Yoru! Yoru!" He seemed to enjoy shouting one of the few words that he knew.
Kori scrambled up out of Zac's grasp and sat down with her knees tucked under her on her Momma's shoulder. It was tempting for her to call Tsurara again, but she did not wish to be ignored. She was also considering joining the two, but after a quick deliberation that plan was right out. For now, she thought it best to just watch from afar.
The crazy Momma obviously did not hear Kami's mumbling, or otherwise she would have never let her live it down that she was confused. Instead, Zac grinned towards her friend, looking almost as happy as Tsurara was. "Kami, what're we gonna do with them now? They seem like they're gonna be such a handful..."

"I'll say..."
Yoru stopped glaring at the girl to raise an eyebrow at the brother. He took to his feet, attempting to push off of Tsurara's head to help him get up. The doll grinned as he pulled his hat farther down over his face. He looked around, finally getting a better look of his surroundings. His eyes stopped at Kami, who merely stared back. He ran, but this time, he took it on two legs, and this time, he jumped, and where he jumped, there was no table top...but there was Kami, who's pants leg was easy to grab. The moment he landed, he was already climbing up her leg, her jacket, until he finally got to her shoulder, where he sat, now studying his surroundings from a higher place.
Kami blinked a few times, not really sure what she was supposed to do about that. She had not expected it. Of course, she didn't expect any of this, but she really didn't expect to have some tiny creature crawling up her. It was really disturbing. She finally got over this, turning back to Zac. "If these three came alive, what do you bet there's others? We should find them, and then we can decide what to do from there. I want to know why this is happening. There has to be a logical explanation!"
And with this Kami had decided what the two--or, rather, five--were going to do about the strange dolls. Now they had a quest, a goal, a mission, and they were going to finish it. They would seek out others, discover the secret behind the dolls, and, above all, keep Zac entertained for a while.

Can I Keep Him?
"This way!" Zac held the cardboard box filled with nik-nacks in her hands as she climbed up the stone stairway to her apartment room. Strangely enough, the items in the box did not belong to her or her new guest that was following her. These things were just random items that she found on the side of the road, and she promptly decided that they belonged to her new housemate.
The new housemate in question, was tagging along right behind her. He was a young looking man, maybe one year older than Zac. He looked of a different nationality, which he was. This man was Tristan Halifax, a strange refugee from France that just happened to be found by Zac.

Kami cautiously opened her front door. She knew Zac well enough to know that you have to expect everything with her; it could be dangerous not to. For all Kami knew, Zac was hauling nuclear weapons into her room to play with. She could probably do it if she felt like it. Luckily, this was not the case. Kami stepped all the way out, Yoru laying lazily across her left shoulder, and started toward her idiotic friend and her guest.
"Hey, who's that, Zac?" Kami didn't ask for an answer; she demanded it. "And what's all that stuff? You're not letting a guy into your house without supervision, are you? Someone could easily take advantage of you... And what about the kids?" She stopped suddenly in her rant. She could complain more if she really wanted to, but she thought that she had already complained enough already. She shouldn't overload Zac with too many questions, anyways.
