Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sandy was rather filthy at the moment, the young child on their hands and knees as they dragged and scraped long pieces of coloured chalk on the sidewalk below. Normally Sandy practiced creativity indoors but the picture they wanted to make with the chalk was too big and long to be confined by the small blackboard easel they owned. No this was art that would have to be shared with the whole world. Of course in the process of making this art the spawn had gotten them-self practically covered in chalk dust.

Of course some of the mess came from their tentacles helping out and then rubbing against clothes and hair then they felt dirty.Sandy was slowly gaining the ability to control them but for moments like this letting them help on their own, even if it meant messes, was just easier.

Still, direction was sometimes necessary, "You need to use the lighter green for the grass then the flower stems," the spawn chided and pushed Delta back to the bucket of chalk sticks in every colour of the rainbow before he could make a mistake.

Sandy laughed in response to the pink haired girl as they paused in their creating for a moment and sat up." Thanks, it's from a dream I had and there were a lot of colours so it's pretty messy." That they'd chosen to recreate the dream-scape in chalk instead of a less dusty medium didn't help. " I'm Sorry if I'm in your way," Sandysort of hoped people who came along would go around their creation until it was done instead of over it, it wasn't like the grass was all that bad to walk on.

Alpha and Omega, the twin tentacles on top of Sandy's head waved in a friendly manner at the girl, their lower places brethren however continued to colour as though she weren't there.

"Phee's a nice name, I'm Sandy," the spawn replied with a smile. " You can touch Alpha and Omega if you like," they gestured to the two head based tentacles "They're in a good mood right now." plus there was nothing on Phoebe that Alpha could steal so Sandy should be fine.

" You can help if you want" Sandy offered tentatively. The spawn was not normally so nervous now that they used their ability to go unnoticed. On the other hand this dream pictures was important and it had to be done just right. " You could colour in stuff I already outlined." Everyone could colour in the lines right?

Sandy nodded "Okay just watching is fine." The spawn was no neat freak and was used to hands on creativity but they also understood not wanting to get really messy. Sandy especially didn't want to get Phoebe in trouble if her Mother was the sort to think little girls should always be clean and stuff. Though why girls should be cleaner than boys Sandy had never known.

"What's having a brother like?" Sandy paused for a moment to stare with intense green eyes at the pink haired girl. Sandy had no siblings and couldn't really imagine what it was like. They shared themselves and their father with their tentacles all the time but surely it wasn't the same.

Sandy laughed "I don't think I can just get a brother but it might be nice to have one." They tilted their head and looked thoughtful for a moment "You can put peanut butter on celery which is a vegetable and then put raisins which is a fruit on it, that's healthy," the child suggested. Sandy actually liked that sort of snack except not too often becuase peanut butter stuck to the roof of their mouth forever.

Sandy paused and nodded, " sort of." It was a little bit complicated." It's from a dream so I know it means something but I'm not sure just what yet." The spawn hoped that once it was all put together and staying still , unlike a dream, they could unravel the mystery of what the images all meant. "It's like a puzzle right now." Ice cream and dogs, funny coloured skies and trees with ribbon wrapped around them; the elements of the dream Sandy had drawn out so far looked like the blended result of a lot of kids movies.

Omega wiggled a little as if to display it's own uncertainty about the drawing, that it too didn't yet know what it all meant.

Sandy's gaze flicked between the girl and the picture for several long moments before the spawn shrugged. " I don't know yet," they blushed a little at that, it seemed silly taking up so much space and putting so much effort into something they didn't even understand.

The child smiled at the reassurance " Thanks." Sandy reached out to push Delta back in the lines the tentacle was supposed to be colouring before they turned their attention to Phoebe again. " Do you draw and colour at home with less messy stuff?" The spawn personally could not imagine not being able to let out their creative side all the time with some sort of medium or another.
