Quote: Curious Findings (17) : Maybe it’s got something to do with the weather, or the construction, or all the other general oddities that seem to occur in Destiny City, but for the first time in nearly fifty years, the historic tree in one of Downtown Destiny City’s parks has woken up. While the tree was known for being alive and growing despite a lengthy hibernation, this is the first year that it’s sprouted leaves–but that’s not all! The unique tree has now also started growing strange pods. Because of the trees legacy–and not at all because of the oddity–the area has been taped off, but that really hasn’t been enough to stop anyone curious enough to investigate. The tree itself is several feet wide and stands roughly fifty feet tall; it’s branches spread significantly and seem like they can hold a lot of weight–which is good, because the pods growing on it have a hard brown shell and can grow up to the size of a soccer ball. Sometimes, the larger ones seem to tremble and shake in place. Maybe it's an animal trying to nibble? Maybe it’s just the wind? Maybe it’s something else. The pods can be pulled from the tree or collected from the ground; the shells are incredibly difficult to crack open, and some of them leak a strange, acidic sap that is strong enough to cause skin agitation–and in some cases there are even reports that it’s burned through wood or fabric. Sometimes, the healthier looking pods that aren’t leaking anything even seem to shake on their own, which is a mystery in itself. Another mystery is why Almadel seems so keen to trade for them…

Coco had heard about what the merchant wanted and she went to the strange tree to get one of the pods and she frowned at the tree she wished more than ever that she had a human body so she could carry something like this, she was going to need some help with this one unless she knocked one down and then rolled it to him. Perhaps she could do that. After all in this city that would likely be looked on as a normal activity a cat rolling a pod down the street, like a rat with a piece of pizza.

Ametkhan had heard there was some strange thing happening with a tree in downtown Destiny City's parks. A tree that had been dormant had woken up, and if that wasn't enough something had sprouted from it. Plus there was a trader who wanted seeds from this weird pod. For what? she didn't know. This alone was enough to get her interested, and she ran towards the tree. When she finally arrived, she found it better than she had expected. As she arrived she looked at the tree and couldn't believe how cool it looked!
"Man this tree is bigger than I thought it would be," she said aloud before noticing that she wasn't alone at the tree. She sensed something, and as she quickly looked around she noticed there was a nearby cat there too. She figured it was probably magic of some kind so she figured why not greet them.
"Well hello there, are you here for the tree too?" she questioned not even thinking that she was talking to a cat. Since after the last order cat she had met it was becoming a normal thing for her.

Coco nodded her head since she wasn't sure who she was talking to and there were a number of others here as well. She didn't want to revel who she was just to anyone. She needed to be careful till they were alone or she was sure they were a senshi. She figured if they were a senshi she would realize sooner or later they weren't talking to a normal cat and would either help her or they would leave simple as that. She looked at them hopefully and looked at the pod. She figured she could get them to help her regardless.

Ametkhan was still getting used to all these talking cats and stuff. After all she only just became a senshi a little bit ago. So the rules where a little fuzzy to her. Plus the only cat she met couldn't stop talking. He was always saying something, at least it seemed that way to her. And since that was the only magical cat she had ever met maybe not all the cats were the same.
So when the cat didn't answer she watched to see what they were doing. She then quickly noticed that the cat was looking at the weird pods. "Oh! You need one of those! I got you," she said as she quickly jumped up and ripped a pod from the tree and placed it by the cats feet.
"Hopefully that helps," she said with a smile as she then quickly reached up and grabbed one for herself too. Since while she was hear she figured why not, but the second she grabbed hers the pod started to shake on its own, Like it was trying to escape or something.

Coco meowed happily to the figure who came to help her, it meant a lot to her that someone was willing to help. She liked seeing others helping each other. She put her paws on her own shaking pod. She was very curious as to why the merchant wanted them but she wasn't going to complain one way or other. She would bring him what he asked for and then she would go about her business and do other things at the festival. She felt like she was growing stronger and she was excited about growing as a guardian cat. She looked up at the figure that had helped her she wasn't sure what else to do with them other than just acting like a strange cat and then heading off to give the pod to the merchant. She meowed happily at them again since she was still not sure who they were and if they knew about the magical world or not. Not to mention there were curious civilians around the tree. She started pushing her pod along to see how well she could move it herself.

Ametkhan quickly grasped her pod until to calmed down. "Well that was close. Thought it was gunna try to fly or something," she spoke aloud. She tried to examine the weird pod but honestly it made no sense to her why anyone would want these. They didn't seem to have anything special about them, maybe she was missing something.
She quickly turned her focus from the egg and listened to the cat meowing. She bent down to gently pat them on the head. "Well I'm glad I could help," she said kindly as she looked around wondering what she wanted to do next. But before she could even think about leaving she watched the cat pushing the pod along. Seeing how difficult it was for the cat she couldn't just walk away. Magical or not she had to help.
"Here let me help you," she said bending down and grabbing the pod, "Just lead the way. I think this will be faster for you." She hoped she didn't take it the wrong way but her legs were longer and she just wanted to help.

Coco meowed happily and she lead the way to the merchant's table and she jumped up on the table and looked at the merchant and waited to see him trade with the girl before she would start her own trade once she was gone just to be on the safe side. She was thankful the girl had been willing to help her. It was a great deal easier that if she had to do this by herself. She sat down on the table full of items looking around and she wondered what the girl would trade for her seed pod. She meowed happily once again. She smiled and waited for her turn.

Ametkhan placed the pod on the traders' table for the cat. She was tempted to do a trade herself, but she needed some time to think. Think about exactly what she wanted to look for in a trade. Silly she knew, but she didn't want to trade for something useless.
So with that in mind, she smiled at the kitten and said, "He is all yours! I think I'll do my trade later, but it was wonderful meeting you cat! Hopefully I'll see you around!" Part of her still wondered if she was crazy talking to a cat that didn't talk back. However, she decided that maybe they were shy and next time she might hear their voice. Until then she was just happy that she could help them!
With those words she took her pod and headed in a different direction allowing the cat to make her trade in private. Since she figured it would be better for them that way.
