 The fact of the matter was that Zero needed a bag. His rock collection was growing far too big, and he had an unsettling habit of making stashes and promptly forgetting where they were. Like this one, for instance. He'd spent the entire day looking along the coastline for the perfect set of rocks. Sure, there was an abundance of shale and sandstone, but that wouldn't do. That was ordinary, and this golem had to be anything but ordinary. It had to be extraordinary, just like the friend he'd been building it for. Which brings us back to the problem of missing rocks. Over the course of the past few seasons Zero had been creating stashes of stones all around the Throat, and while stumbling upon one of these was always a delightful surprise, not being able to find the one he wanted on a particular day could grow unbearably infuriating. Today he'd been working on collecting some of the choicest rocks, carefully balancing them on poor patient Squishy, but there was still a pile he hadn't found. Somewhere around the oasis was a deposit of malachite, beautiful and green and perfect for his creation... if only he could remember where it was! Well. At least the sun was up, and the water was nice, and there wasn't any Ma or Gaucho or Meg to tell him to behave. In other words, the perfect setting for a treasure hunt. Now all he needed was a partner in crime. Re-invigorated and ready to begin the search anew, Zero trotted gleefully toward the tranquil pool. There was always someone around by the Oasis, and thus far the boy had been met with nothing but (sometimes reluctant) acceptance of his exuberant curiosity, indulgent smiles and drawn-out laughter. Yes, he thought, it should be pretty easy to find himself a partner in crime. In fact, there was someone now! Single wing darting out to offer him balance, the boy splashed through the pool toward his newly spotted prey. "Hey!" he called as he neared the unfamiliar mare, crooked grin wide and orange eyes hopeful, "Wanna go on a treasure hunt with me?" OOC;; ooc notes here TAG;; tags here @[----] |
