Not much has happened lately. Sarria has been good, as usual, although perhaps she has been a little too quiet. She has asked me a few times now if we will go visit Zanna again, so I'll have to look into that sometime soon. Other than that, she hasn't left the house much, mostly because I haven't. We went out shopping once or twice, but that's about all.

The other day, to my surprise, I found two gifts waiting at my door. Both of them were cute little dolls of Sarria. She loves them so much! In fact, for hours and hours she refused to put them down. She even slept with the plushie that night, but the next day, I persuaded her to keep it inside so it wouldn't get dirty when she went to play outside. There's no telling how she would react if either one of them became dirty. It isn't hard to tell that those two are her favorite belongings. The only other living thing she let's get close to them, is her fox.

And have Sarria start to have brightly vivid dreams of huge, huge mountians, and suddenly taking more interest in bollywood, and teh color red...

Bad news, I gave in. I let her get something red. She begged and begged and begged to get red curtains for her room, or something red. I just hope she doesn't want to...paint her room red or something...Red is NOT one of my favorite colors, in fact, there aren't many...But, since she seemed to want something red so badly, and kept asking why I allowed some of my other children to have red things, such as Alces, I got her a small red pillow she asked for a few days ago. Let's just hope that's all, but I have a feeling it won't be. So, as long as it's nothing big, and doesn't look too horrible in her nearly all blue room, she can get it.

She also mentioned seeing 'Red girl.' I think she's referring to that Yeste Simu that she met the other day when I left her with Zanna for a bit. She really seemed to like Yeste's red hair and clothes, and dagger. Sarria also wouldn't stop talking about Zanna on the way home. Something about how Zanna would still be her friend or something, and protect her from 'Tall Blue Hair.' It makes me wonder who she's referring to when she says that name she's seemed to make up for him.

As for the Bollywood thing...someone kill me. Last night we re-re-re-rewatched one of her favorites. I swear, I'm going to have to go buy these movies instead of renting them...it'll probably be a whole lot cheaper. I don't think my eyes can take it anymore, and she still insists that I actually watch the whole thing. I think she watches me more than the movie to make sure I'm paying attention to it. She still likes to listen to 'Indian' music, which still isn't bad. And she's still getting those dreams. Often times, she'll wake up during them and rush into my room, waking me up as well to tell me about them, then insists that she sleeps in my room for the rest of the night. From what she tells me, the mountains sound, well, huge and pretty. She's even asked for a few colored pencils or crayons so she can draw them. I'll have to be sure to go get her some today while we're out in Gaia.

Xannyia

|~| RP Prompt |~|

Knocking on the little girls door once again Xannyia waited for any sort of response. An hour before, the woman had just thought the young Simu was tired after going to the shop all by herself and meeting new people. But now she was just getting annoyed that Sarria wasn't getting up or responding. "Come on your fox is getting impatient and I don't want to have to let that little monster outside. He and I don't get along." The woman explained while leaning up against the frame of the door while waiting for anything at all to show the girl was up and about.

A couple more minutes passed and Xannyia let out a sigh, "I'm coming in." She warned Sarria as she slowly opened the door and watched the little fox dart into the room making little fox noises. "Sarria if you don't let him ou--Sarria?" Xannyia's heart froze when she peered into the empty room, "Sarria!" She called out again, praying the girl was just playing games. Taking a few deep breaths to calm herself Xannyia watched the fox sniff here and there only to start looking worried himself. She knew, that if the fox couldn't find her, she would definately not be able to find the little girl. "Sarria!" The tone in her voice was getting more frantic now as she turned the room upside down in an attempt to locate her little Simu.

This wasn't like Sarria, Xannyia thought to herself, she would have shown up a long time ago if she was playing some sort of game. "SARRIA!" The woman called out once more, even louder than the other times. Rushing out of the room Xannyia began searching every little corner of her home and it's yard for the little girl, becoming more and more worried by the second. If Sarria couldn't be found soon, Xannyia decided that she would call Neith or Emme immediately in hopes she had shown up at the Shoppe, which was next on her list of the places to search.

|~| RP Prompt |~|

By now Xannyia looked about ready to give up on the search. She had been everywhere she thought the girl might have been. The last place was near the Fairy Ring where she had taken Sarria once before to see Alces off back to his home. Now walking slowly she looked down at the fox that had followed, and had been annoying her the whole time. A few times she had been about ready to throw the poor little guy off somewhere and run off, leaving him there.

Now, she decided he could be comforting and went to scoop him up in her arms. "Don't worry...we'll fin--" she stopped the second she realized she was talking to a Fox. Looking around at the shops in Gaia, the woman looked more worn out as the minutes passed by turning into hours. The woman had nearly turned all of Gaia upside down looking for her little girl. Every shop, every park, every public place. If she had been able to go through the homes of the others in Gaia she probably would have done that too.

While walking down one of the last streets she hadn't been to music caught her attention. It sounded much like Tibeten Monks singing. Wandering toward the chanting that reminded her of Sarria's favorite style of music. With another loud sigh she peered into what seemed to be a Buddhist Temple and gazed around at the interior and the people wandering inside. Shaking her head to herself she looked down at the Fox who had began to wiggle about excitedly. "Good, go, run far far away." She told him as she set him down and watched him head toward a young girl who appeared to be meditating. Xannyia rolled her eyes in an annoyed fashion at the small animal and eventually folded her arms. "Stupid anima--" What was this? The girl was petting the fox now and had...blue hair? Xannyia leaned in a bit, staring at the red in the girl's outfit and the hair, it somehow seemed familiar.

Holding back a shout of joy, Xannyia began running through the temple to the girl and her fox, probably scaring or disturbing others in the area. "Sarria!" She exclaimed and fell to the ground next to the girl to hug her. "Sarria, you had me worried sick!"

The young girl smiled at the familiar face and went to return the hug, "I am truly sorry. I did not mean to worry you. Forgive me."

"It's alright, it's fine! I'm just happy your alive! And you're so beautiful now." Xannyia told her while hugging the poor girl to death.

"I can't breath..." Sarria informed her, a gentle smile still on her face as she shook her head, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, really it is." Xannyia repeated, "Let's just go home, I think we've both had a long day. And please, please, don't ever scare me like that again."

Sarria stood up and helped Xannyia to her feet, then picked up her little fox, "I won't. Don't worry. And yes, we shall get you home so you can recover from this. Seeing as how I am quite fine now that I have meditated."

Xannyia gave Sarria a blank stare for a moment before clearing her throat, not liking the idea of being cared for by her 'daughter' who had just undergone a huge growth spurt. Eventually she nodded, figuring Sarria was better off than her at the moment, after all, the girl hadn't just nearly had a heart attack or three throughout all of this as Xannyia had. And with that said and done, the two of them began heading home, Sarria telling Xannyia all about what had happened to her while undergoing the transformation, with the fox trailing closely behind them.

While out in the garden area at the shoppe I met another Simu. Her name is Aurora, and apparently we have met before. After glancing through the entries Xannyia has kept for me I noticed she was he first one I had ever met; and she's grown too. We talked for a while as we sat next to the pond. She gets...strange around the water. I couldn't help but notice she twitched when touching it. Something isn't normal about her and water...Although I'm sure I couldn't figure out what it is with just that one little incident. Perhaps if I see her again she'll know more about it herself. But I think it's strange that water could, well, control someone like that. Scary thought; I'd want to be in control of my own actions and mind, not have some non-living thing in charge.

Since she had just come home from Greece from a rather long vacation, she told me about what she had done there. Amazons, who are apparently women warriors were training her. Personally, I wouldn't want to be trained by them; wouldn't need to be. I've got no reason to go around hurting people. Besides that wouldn't be right. Overall, Aurora is a nice girl and very interesting. She told me I need to get out more, and I guess I do. She even suggested a few places I could go, so I'll have to look into that further and see if Xannyia will let me.

Went to the shop a few days ago, and I saw Ray, but not a little Ray...He had grown up! He can talk now! I thought he would have been happy about talking, but I think he was a bit uncomfortable with it, and he didn't seem to happy overall; he never said why though. Maybe he just doesn't like sudden change. Growing up unexpectedly can be hard, thought I don't think I was made miserable by the change, nor overly happy now that I think about it. Perhaps it was because I went and mediated, who knows.

Anyway, later, Aurora came and she sure was happy to see a grown up Ray. After a while up in the second floor of the shop, Ray asked if I wanted to go to the garden with him, and told me I could show him the pond I like so much. Aurora came too of course, but didn't say much at first. Then, while at the pond Ray discovered a secret door. At first I wondered why on earth anyone would have put a door there, but hey, if it's a secret passage it's bound to be in some odd place. With Aurora's help, and then Kami who showed up in time to dig at the dirt blocking the door while Ray and I pulled, the door opened. Though I must had admit, I didn't pull too hard...I'm not exactly strong, so I pretended part of the time, but hey, they don't need to know.

Kami surprised me though, getting dirty like that in such a nice dress she had on. Part of me was also proud of her for caring more about friends then staying clean, after all friendship should be valued over many other things. The passage took us to a glade of somesort. A very BEAUTIFUL glade I might add. So calm, peaceful, and restful it all seems. I knew from the moment I saw it, that it will be a great place to mediate when I don't feel like mediating by the pond or in Xannyia's garden, my room, and everywhere else. We have to keep it a secret though, Ray wants us to. So I won't even tell other Simu unless Ray tells them first, or until I find out it's okay to tell other Simu. Speaking of which, I have yet to see Zanna yet...I will have to fix that. Perhaps on the cruise I'll bump into her.

About the cruise, apparently, I had been entered in a drawing to win a cruise by mom, and somehow I won. She rushed in so happily, ticket in hand, shouting and laughing. At first I couldn't understand her, and when I finally did I could only smile and nod because she was talking too much. So, soon I shall head off to the cruise ship. You're coming with of course, but I probably won't be able to write all that often, but who knows. I'm sure I'll have lots of free time. I asked her if she knew anything else about what cruise, and she said just that I'd be sharing a cabin with someone but she didn't catch who. Hopefully it will be a person that's easy to get along with for an extended period of time and in close quarters. And now...off to go pack.
