Raife

For the latest auction at the flea market, Raife had hauled out all of his shop material to a small stand outside. It was the night before the auction, and the place was still dark, but Raife wanted to get a headstart, so he wouldn't have to wake up early to set up the next morning. Tagging cups, Raife had brought the toxic green cup that had recently been claimed with him, in order to keep everything tidy, so he wouldn't have to go back to the shop in the morning.

Looking everything over after he was finished setting up, and deciding it was good, he packed up his bag and left.

Meanwhile...the cup...left there in the flea market..began to glow...like a beacon in the middle of the dark night to passers by.

Shuura

Shuura grinned like the cheshire cat, the moonlight glinting off her unusually sharp canines as she inventoried today's spoils.

Two loaves of bread, a new skirt, pork loins, a hat, three beaded bracelets I can sell off later, and a new jacket. Hnnngh. That should be enough to last her for a while more. Sadly, her fashionable but rather small messenger bag really couldn't fit much more, so the loot stopped there. Stuffing back all the filched items into her bag, Shuura was just about to leave the flea market when she noticed something glowing.

"'The hell??" seeing no one around, she cautiously approached the empty stand. Turns out to be a small cup filled with glowing, green....stuff.

Shuura looked around again, her hands already twitching as her kleptomanical urges kicked in. Well....no one was around. If they really wanted it they wouldn't just leave stuff lying around anyhow. Chuckling evilly, Shuura checked once more to make sure she was the only sentient being around and quickly snatched the glowing cup of weirdness and tucked it away in her pocket, keeping her hand over the open cup to prevent the liquid from spilling.

Raife

Suddenly, as the cup was stuffed into her pocket, a bright FLASH eminated from under her hand, yet seemed to come from everywhere at the same time.

And everything tasted very very green. (And maybe a little bit yellow.)

As the light died down, the composition of what was under her hand changed dramatically. What was once a small drink in her pocket was now bulging dramatically in her pocket, and...beating on her hand?

"HEY. YOU. NEED AIR."

Shuura

Shuura let go almost immediately, cursing wildly as she tasted GREENNESS and stared at her bulging and...talking...pocket.

"What. The *BLEEP*. was that." she stared in horror at her pocket, which now seemed to be panting heavily as it was heaving up and down in rapid succession.

...against her better judgement, she stuck her hand back in and pulled it out.

Raife

With a slightly insolent glare, gasping for air, a little liquid boy leant on his sawed off bottle. "Jeez! Guy has to go through a near death experience just to exist around here!"

"WTF itititit-it talks." Shuura spluttered incoherently at the plastic cup in her palm. How the hell was she going to sell it off now?!

Curiousity getting the better of her, she cautiously prodded the talking liquid-y form. It felt.....fizzy.

"Hey!" the thing squawked indignantly. "Watchit there you big oaf!"

"Watch your own mouth, squirt!" Shuura snapped back immediately without thinking.

The little guy immediately perked up, bouncing a bit in his little sawed-off bottle. "Whatsa squirt? That sounds cool."

"...whatever, squirt." Shuura could feel a headache creeping up again. She should've known better than to pick up random glowing objects...the last time she did that she ended up getting stuck with Vyn.

"Eh." Oops. She had been away from home for three days now and had totally forgotten about the Frei. "I'll just take you back to Vyn, I think she misses the goldfish anyway."

Unfortunately, by the time Shuura got home, Squirt now refused to respond to anything else other than Squirt. "Kid, you're going to regret it later." Sadly, Squirt didn't listen, and thus, Shuura now had to take care of yet another weird thing.

Drenched completely and chilled to the core, Shuura stumbled into Julian's apartment complex, leaving a trail of wet and muddy footprints all across the impeccably clean lobby floor. Well, impeccably clean they might have been, but no longer. The pontytailed girl gave a sneeze, then cursed loudly as an echoing sneeze resounded from the muffled depths of her coat pocket.

Reaching into her coat, she plucked out a small, half-sawed off green bottle. The form of a little green child popped up its head immediately from the liquid inside, quivering both from the cold and from excitement. "H-hey! W-where are we?" it chattered excitedly.

It had started to downpour not too shortly after she left the flea market, and the loaves of bread she had ganked from there were now soggy and unfit for eating. Shuura tossed them in the lobby's trash can before heading up the stairs to her own apartment, coolly ignoring the string of questions the cup-kid in her hand was bleating out.

"Whoaa this place is huuuGe!! Where's this? --SNNNRK!-- Where're we going? Why's the ceiling so high? Do you --ACHOO!-- live here? Are we--AHCHEW!--there yet?"

Squirt continued his cheerful bombardment of questions between fits of sneezing as Shuura walked up the stairs, fingers itching to drop the loquacious cup into the trash can as well. "Quiet, " she ordered, following up with a threat. "If you wake up WonderNerd landlord the first thing I'm going to do is toss you out the nearest window." She was wet, she was tired, and dealing with the particularly acrid young scientist at this particular time was not one of her top priorities at the moment.

Miraculously, Squirt managed to keep silent until they reached the door to Shuura's apartment. Swiftly entering and slamming the door shut behind her, the tired girl scanned her apartment for the whereabouts of a particular ebony and crimson Raevan.

Vyn was in the exact same place where Shuura had left her that morning, floating in the shadow cast by Shuura's bed in the corner of the room, next to the window. The windowsill once held a flowerpot whose inhabitant had died a while ago due to the increasingly severe irregularity between waterings. Before the unfortunate demise of the plant, there used to sit a glass bowl of water that had housed the Matsuri goldfish once known as Red. The bottom rim of flowerpot and the bowl combined had left a waterstain in the shape of a circle on the windowsill, and it was at this spot that the quiet Shadow Frei stared at.

Shuura plopped Squirt's cup smack down in the center of Vyn's vision, causing the liquid to splosh around wildly and Squirt to squeak rather loudly. Glaring at both of them until she caught their attention, she gave a curt nod to the older Raevan and spoke. "Vyn. I brought you a new pet--"

"It's SQUIRT," the animated cup interrupted loudly. "I meen I TOLD youu my name a million-double-million times ya know? Are you STOO~PID? What'sa guy hafta do to get some respect around here huh?" Sticking a small green tongue out at Shuura, Squirt began bouncing up and down rather heatedly, nearly spilling out of his cup. "Huh huh huh? --oh." The little guy gave a little exclamation of surprise and suddenly went quiet when Vyn picked up his cup, bringing the little drink kid closer to eye level.

Black and amber eyes curiously regarded small green ones as Vyn picked Squirt up gently, her rosy hair glossy and bright after a night of drawing energy from the shadows. "Hey-y. You're um, really pretty," Squirt piped up, a hint of shyness tinging his squeaky little voice, earning a ghost of a smile from the Rose Raevan.

Too tired to even respond to the insult from the pipsqueak, Shuura unceremoniously deposited herself on her black and red-draped bed, covering her head with an embroidered black pillow. "I. don't. care," she muffled out from under the pillow. "Vyn, go play with him in the kitchen or something, I'm going to sleep."

-*-

Vyn left the room wordlessly, having no desire to associate with her guardian when said guardian was in another foul mood.

On the other hand, after getting over his initial shyness, Squirt was now pelting a string of questions at the pretty floaty figure that had picked him up and brought him out to the living room. "Whats your name? Do you have a name? I picked my own name, I like it cuz it's Squirt!! It's like...." the little drinkable scrunched his freckled green nose in thought. "Like water gushing, right? And whatsa pet by the way? Why'm I a pet? Can I have a pet too? What's that?" Squirt added distractedly, pointing at the TV.

Vyn regarded this feisty little creature with mixed feelings, not sure how to respond to his inquisitive barrage. "I....am Vyn," she said softly, answering one of his questions at least. Her gaze following Squirt's pointed finger, she moved them both closer to TV, complying when Squirt's little hands stretched eagerly to push at the buttons below the screen.

With a Beep and a slight fizzing sound, the TV screen blinked to life.

"IT'S LATE AT NIGHT, YOU'RE TIRED AFTER WORK AND YET YOUR KIDS ARE STILL UP AND KICKING? HAVE NO FEAR...THE CHILD EDUCATION NETWORK IS HERE! NOW RE-PLAYING DAILY STAR-CHILD CLASSROOM SHOWS EVERY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!"

Squirt giggled in an eruption of fizzy bubbles. "That man looks funny," he said, pointing at the fat, balding man on the screen proclaiming the wonders of the child education network. "Look, Vinn!" But when Vyn turned to look, the man got replaced by a horde of blue muffins screaming out the letters of the alphabet.

"A IS FOR ALLIGATOR!! B IS FOR BABOON!! ....E IS FOR ELEPHANT AND Z IS FOR ZABIMARU!! ALL TOGETHER AND YOU'LL HAVE A ZOO! A ZOOO!! WHOO-HOO!! WHOO-HOO!!"

The hyperactive muffins re-screeched the whole alphabet again.

"Augh-augh-eghh-ele-funts!" Squirt tried imitate the pronounciations after prompts to repeat were issued energetically by the blue muffins on screen. "C'mon Vinn...!" Squirt twisted around in him cup a little to wave at the larger figure. "Why don't you try too? See....Kang-a-ROO!"

Vyn eyed the talking cup uncertainly, yet at the same time, the little thing's enthusiasm was undeniably a bit catching. Black ribbon-strands twisting and curling softly, the rosy-haired Frei continued to watch the antics of the small green boy cupped in her hands.

"F-Faal-con!" Squirt shouted eagerly, punching a little fist in the air for emphasis.

"D-....Dar-gon!" the small boy continued cheerfully, completely unaware that he was pronouncing it pronouncedly different from the actual word.

"Lep-pard!"

"Sser-pent!"

"Haw-kuh!!"

"...hawk." Vyn echoed softly.

"Squirrll!" Squirt turned a bright smile to the Raevan.

"...squirrel," Vyn confirmed.

"Rabbitt!"

"Rabbit..."

-*-

"Mmphgh," Shuura muttered incoherently from under the pillow. Tossing and turning, dark hair fanning across the crimson sheets, the tired girl slept on, oblivious to the happenings outside the room.

Rushing outside in only a black T-shirt and shorts that barely covered what they should be covering, Shuura turned the dial on the mailbox as fast as she could, hissing sharply at the cold. Of all the mornings it had to snow....

Muttering curses as she grabbed the daily newspaper, some Christmas greeting cards and a rather bulky parcel from her mailbox, she quickly rushed back into the warmth of her own apartment, her slippers slapping loudly against the pavement.

Scanning the newspaper headlines while she tore at the tape binding the package, the raven-haired girl snorted at what she read.

SINGING WHALE WREAKS HAVOC IN RESTAURANT!

---Manager claims over $2000 in damages .......................................................................

"Vyn!!" She yelled. "Bring me a pair of scissors, will you?"

The Shadow Frei came out a while later, holding a pair of chopsticks in one hand, and Squirt's bubbling cup in the other. The green boy had just woke up, and was yawning widely as Vyn set him down gently on the kitchen counter.

Shuura sighed as Vyn held out the chopsticks to her. "No, scissors are the ones you---nevermind," she muttered, and promptly grabbed one of her kitchen knives and hacked the box open instead.

Shuura stared at the thing that floated out with one eyebrow raised. Bloody hell. Now what am I going to do with-- her gaze fell on an open cookbook propped against the cluttered kitchen table. The current recipe was an assorted cold platter that called for--

Hmm...braised jellyfish.

"What's that?" Squirt asked. Appearantly, his drowsiness was gone, and the little thing was now squirming around in his half-bottle to get a better look at the curiously transparent and tentacled life form.

Quick as a flash, Shuura knocked the floating bubbly sea creature out with a rolling pin and tossed it into the frying pan.

Sizzling sounds soon filled the kitchen.

Turning back to her two charges, Shuura gave them an unsettling smile. "That?....was breakfast." she responded succinctly.
