Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zest's host, Dean, took the time to make a simple flash website for his little hacker. She always enjoyed eating pictures of his cooking, and especially loved pictures files of baked sweets, such as cookies. Just enjoying the files wasn't enough for Zest, however. She wanted to go share them with other hackers and try to make some friends in the process. So, Dean set up a website with downloadable pictures of different types of cookies he'd baked and even a pie or two, for starters. Each pictures was labeled and had a description, but no price. Though the site's called Zest's Bake Sale, it's more of a giveaway where one could download a picture as many times as they please. Most kids wanted to run a lemonade stand and, being a kid, Zest wanted to sell cookies.

Zest sits in front of the access points to her new website, scanning about for signs of other hackers she could invite to come over for cookies. She begins to munch on a file of a chocolate chip cookie, grinning widely as she tastes the first nibble. she says to herself. After scarfing down the cookie, Zest grows restless and begins to pace and dance about while waiting for others to show.

Zest plops down into a sitting position, downloading another cookie picture file to munch on. As she begins nibbling at the data, a message floats toward the site. Somebody's found her! Zest grins excitedly, hoping to herself that she'd found a girl hacker to play with, since she was stuck with a male human.

The little lemon drop dances about in a circle before sending out a reply to the origins of the message, .

Zest begins downloading pictures of different types of cookies from her website, piling them up in front of the entrance to the site. With pride, she pats the top of the stack, saying to herself,

Zest bounces up and down happily as a message returns promptly. She reads that the other is on their way, pausing a moment in confusion after. With her head cocked to the side, she sniffs at the new message. She looks about for signs of any other hackers in the immediate area, a puzzled look worn on her little yellow face.

The second message arrives with a rather formal request that Zest stay put. She blinks, dismissing the message before transmitting another toward the location she guessed the messages were coming from. . Of course, she had to add the little heart. Whoever was out there should know ahead of time that she's sweet, after all.

Zest frowns, looking around the area immediately surrounding the page. Somebody MUST be coming shortly. She'd gotten messages from two parties now. He eyes lock onto an elder hacker. Zest's mouth hangs open, head cocking to the left slightly as he looks toward Purin in aw. She'd never seen another hacker, let alone one much more advanced than herself.

With a little giggle, Zest bows toward the new hacker, arms fidgeting at her sides as he does so. She didn't know why she was bowing, this being her first REAL social interaction in the cyber world. After seeing Purin do it, bowing seemed appropriate, though.

Nodding her head with determination, Zest grabs a chocolate chip cookie thumbnail and offers the file up toward Purin. she exclaims with great enthusiasm and a beaming smile on her face.

Zest dances around Purin in a complete circle before extending the cookie file forward toward Purin. she says with a smirk, rising up to her tip toes to push the cookie toward Purin's mouth.

She stops trying to cram it into Purin's face long enough to shake her head and reply, She giggles a little before noting, With another nod of her head, Zest puts on an expression of pride, complete with a self-satisfied smirk.

Zest tosses the file back into the pile of assorted cookies rather carelessly as it's turned down. Rocking back and forth, she listens as the older hacker speaks. She was neither childish nor playful so far, and it disappointed the hyper little girl.

Zest nods her head sternly at this thought. She smiles and nods her head excitedly as Purin asks if she treasures Dean. she exclaims, grinning after her outburst. She pauses, frowning as she adds,

Zest emotes a <*sigh*> as she mouths the action.

With a cute little blink, accompanied by a confused look on Zest's face, she asks, A little smile soon appears upon her face, growing at the thought of doing something fun. This was another female, too. Even better!

she proposes with a grin.

Zest watches Purin carefully, waiting until the elder hacker had closed her eyes completely before she goes toward the pile to pick up five random cookie files. With a grin, she runs out into cyberspace, finding a clot of data to hide behind as she greedily shoves the cookie pictures into her little mouth.

Each cookie is devoured quickly, Zest taking the time to fling away any data crumbs from her face afterward. The mischievous little lemon runs back to Purin, jumping up to poke at her back as a text bubble pops up, Zest bounces about happily, waiting for Purin to start playing.
