Unfortunately nobody seemed terribly interested in talking to Nanashi at that moment. It was disappointing (it always was, when he was ignored) but he thought that perhaps they couldn't hear him, that was all. Sometimes people couldn't, no matter how loud he yelled, and sometimes they couldn't see him either. He didn't know why it happened, it just... did. Kitzu told him it was magic, but he didn't think magic was supposed to make someone unhappy. That was what curses and shamans were for.

He didn't waste too much time on being disappointed though. He was on a hunt! ... Not that he had any clue what he was searching for, of course, but he was sure he would know if he saw it. Perhaps it was eggs. Sivain and Rhodes went on egg hunts just a little while ago, and it was apparently the season for such things, much to the disgust of the two of them. Nanashi didn't see why they disliked it though. It was spring, it wasn't snowing, and he was looking for eggs (which he'd been told were all brightly colored and festive). He'd never seen an egg that wasn't white or brown before. Actually he wasn't sure he'd seen an egg other than the ones eaten at the Estate... Ah, but he had a job to do; now was not the time to be scatterbrained!

With a determined look on his face, Nanashi began to search the edges of the strange wood shack. "Here, eggie eggie," he said in a hushed whisper, as if somehow afraid he'd scare it off if he spoke too loudly. It did not occur to him that it was nonsensical to talk to eggs. "Here, eggie... I just want to make friends," he added helpfully. He was sure the egg would feel much more encouraged to come meet him if he declared his good intentions.

[Homg Kiiiitzu! xD Laksimi and Nanashi have to meet one day, too. xD]

Laksimi beamed at Mortimer as if she had found the Holy Grail. She went into the shallow water where he was swimming immediately, not caring at all about getting wet, and gently petted the duck as good and gently as she could with her paws. "You are sooooooo soft and fluffy! Amaaaaaazing! You're best! And sooooo cute and adoooorable!" Laksimi, with her greatest wish coming true right now, was absolutely amazed by the soft feathers of her new friend. "Moooortimer! Are you the ruler of the duckies of the park? The ruler of the duckies of the Chateau is Boss! You could have diplomatic relations!" At least that was what her father told her sometimes about rulers. Laksimi had no idea what it meant, but she totally wanted Mortimer to visit her since he allowed her to pet her.

Laksimi had never seen a dragon in her life, no matter the size, but it didn't matter to her anyway. For duckies, she would even face a monster the size of a house! She was a professional duckie-expert and there was nothing she wouldn't do for duckies! After all, it was her job and she also loved them so much! "You are soooo smart, Mortimer!" Hiding the baby-duckies made a lot of sense to Laksimi. Maybe this was why the Socross was hiding the eggs as well? Then he was a really nice guy, after all! "Do you know where this evil duckie-eater lives? I will be all quak-quak-quak and attract him and then I will be really mean to him! My Daddy is the Grim Reaper and I will tell the duckie-eater that Daddy will send him to hell!" Surely, her father would do that for her. He had told her before that eating duckies wasn't a sin, but that could obviously not be true. "I will do eeeeeeverything to help yooooou!" Laksimi would do it even for free, after all! But she also would never deny a gift from duckies! No duckie had ever given her a present before! Laksimi would treasure something like that forever. "Show me where I can find the evil monster and I will scaaaare him! I can be all swim-swim-swim as well, so it's no problem if I have toooo! ...Do you want more bread and snaaaails, Mortimer? I love watching duckies eat! You look sooo funny!"

Kitzu:

The dancers that gallivanted around the gazebo twisted and turned in intricate patterns. The music had an almost ethereal and enchanting quality to it, ensnaring it’s listener and enticing them into the dance. Glasses clinked as the dancers (All women, it seemed) twirled and held their skirts and laughed. The musicians played on, and it seemed, if one were to look closely, that their eyes glowed in the pale shadows of the gazebo. However, one person stood out amongst the rest; a very small girl, with bare feet and a pretty dress leaned forlornly against the gazebo. When was twisting the ends of her long skirt between her fingers when she noticed Nanashi. She turned to look up at him with baleful eyes. “Excuse me, mister. Could you help me?” she implored, a frown on her delicate face. “I’ve lost something, and I can’t seem to find it.” The chances of finding something around here are good if you help her, I’d wager.

Shieba:

Mortimer looked vaguely horrified at being petted, and also deeply confused. “Who is- Never mind,” he grumbled, deciding it was best not to ask anymore questions that might warrant weird answers. “Yeah, I’m the boss here,” he admitted. “But only because I’m magical.” it was best not to explain that ‘magical’ meant he was not really a duck; he needed this fox to help him, after all. He motioned with his wings for her to follow him. “He’s here,” He told her, once he’d swam a good distance form the pother ducks. “Somewhere near the edge of the bridge. He likes to hide in the dark water. Make your duck noises, and I’m sure he’ll show. Then we’ll get to the bottom of this!” He gave the fellox a bland look. “Now is not the time for food…but maybe just some more bread, if you have it.” Duck’s gotta eat, after all.

[Shieba]

Laksimi was all in awe. "I'm petting the ruuuuuuler of the duckies of the paaaark!" she squealed in happiness. "This is the beeeeest day of my liiiiife!" Curiously, she looked closer at Mortimer. "You are a magical duckie?! What can you dooo with your magic? Can you make yourself extra-fluffy? Or can you be all swim-swim-swim extra fast? I wouldn't knooow since you duckies already can do everything! You can swim and walk and dive and fly! What eeeeelse is there?!" She was learning so much today! And Mortimer was still so very, very soft! Maybe he was a super-soft duckie?

"Breeeead for Mortimer!" Laksimi declared and got some more out of her bag before pushing it towards the duck. Then, she wrapped the strap of her bag around her neck one more time so that it sat directly below her chin instead of hanging around her chest. With her bag secured and dry like that, Laksimi followed Mortimer into the water and started to swim after him. "Heeee~ I'm swimming with duuuuuckies! Swim-swim-swim! Swim-swim-swim!" Actually she probably still could reach the ground with her paws, but if the duckies were swimming, so would she. It was a bit sad that they left all the other duckies behind, though. Laksimi liked to swim with her duckies at the lake around the Chateau a lot - they always led her around the whole lake (her sister told her that the duckies were actually swimming away from her, but that simply couldn't be true).

Reaching the bridge, Laksimi found a spot to stand on and looked at the dark water. So far, she couldn't see anything, but if Mortimer said that the evil duckie-eater was in there, he had to be. "Quaaaaaak-quak-quak! I'm a baaaaaby-duckiiiiie! Quak-quak-quak! Quak-quak-quak! I want to be eeeeeaten! Quak-quak-quak!" Granted, Laksimi's performance didn't resemble the noises of a real duck all that much, but at least she gave it her best. Since she was shouting since quite some time - she always did when she was around duckies, they just made her so happy - she was slowly getting hoarse, so that actually improved the similiarity a bit.

Mortimer winced. “Uh, yeah. I can make myself fluffier and swim faster,” he told the child-minded Fellox. Maybe he should’ve found someone else to help. Someone more mature. But beggars couldn’t be choosers. He snatched up a piece of bread, and chewed. “Mmph - well, it’s - this bread is good - that’s a pretty good impression but -chompmunch- I think you’re not doing it right. But -munchmunch- good effort.” He chewed on his bread as he watched, but nearly choked on his snack when he saw something dark and blue and decidedly scaly slide through the water. “Holy quack, it’s him!” he shouted, waving his wings and pounding on his chest to dislodge the piece of bread caught in his throat. Sure enough, from out of the dark wate beneath the bridge, a serpentine, dragon-head rose up, blue whiskers framing it’s face and rows of razor sharp teeth in it’s gaping mouth. It looked unhappy, and peered around until it spotted Laksimi. “YOU!” it roared, rearing back. “How dare you disturb me! What is this all about?” From beneath the bridge, in the shadows, there was a suspicious sound of baby duck quacks, and the dragon looked faintly grumpy for a moment as it moved to hide the bridge with it‘s bulk, before it refocused it’s anger on Laksimi. “What do you want, interloper? This is my territory! I rule here!” Mortimer swam over to Laksimi and started patting her shoulder with his wing. “Ask him why he’s taking and eating our babies! Ask him why he’s here and what he wants!” he demanded of her, hiding behind the Fellox’s bulk.

[Shieba]

Laksimi made big eyes. "Can you shoooow me? I want to see you even fluffier! You might be the fluffiest duckie ever then!" Then Mortimer would be even softer! Laksimi wondered if she would be allowed to pet him then as well. Seeing him swim extra-fast would be adorable as well, but for now, she wanted him to stay with her. Especially when he ate the bread, which looked really cute. "I have moooooore bread if you want more!" she told him. She wanted to save some for the other duckies as well, but since she also still had the snails, she figured that it would be fine, especially since Mortimer enjoyed the bread so much.

When then suddenly the Panlong appeared, Laksimi's attention was diverted, but since Mortimer seemed to have problems for a second to swallow his bread, Laksimi's wrath towards that creature even increased. Duckies should be allowed to enjoy their bread in peace, after all! (She also had to remember to say 'Holy quack' a lot from now on, she decided.) The dragon looked pretty dangerous with its teeth, but since it was smaller and Laksimi was also a half-goddess, she wasn't scared at all. Well, maybe a bit, but her anger made more than up for it.

"I", Laksimi started, not yelling anymore since she wasn't talking to a duckie, but still loud enough, "am Laksimi and I'm six and a professional duckie-expert!" She had no idea what an 'interloper' was, but it didn't sound all that nice. "And I know that you don't rule here! Mortimer is the ruler of the duckies of the park and this is his lake!", she proudly announced. "I am here because I've heard that you are an evil duckie-eater who eats baby-duckies! And duckies are best and everyone who eats duckies goes to hell!" Laksimi heard the sound of the baby-duckies. "Duckiiiiiiiiiies! I am here to saaaaaave you!" she shouted and then glared at the Panlong. "Give back the baby-duckies now!" When she suddenly felt Mortimer's wing on her shoulder, she beamed. "Mooooortimer! You're soooo soft and cute! Let's cuddle!" Well, Laksimi was easily distracted, but she still, of course, wanted to help and turned back to the dragon. "Why are you so evil?! You can eat something else! Like snails or bread! The baby-duckies need their Mommys, so why are you stealing them!? And I don't think Mortimer allowed you to live here, so why are you here in the first place?"

Shieba:

The Panlong looked confused for a moment. “Eat?” it repeated. “I do not eat ducks!” It seemed appropriately scandalized, and it’s face reflected it. His tail swished angrily in the water, sending up ripples and small waves. Mortimer quacked, but paddled his feet faster to stay beside Laksimi. “Oh yeah?!” he cried defensively. “Then why have you been taking or babies?!” The Panlong, looked, if possible, even more confused. “I have not taken them. I merely protected them. They were too exposed out in the open.” He turned his gaze to Laksimi, and frowned. “I can sense your power, little fox. You are not all you appear to be.” He hung his head slightly. “I am not evil. I have never been evil.”

He swung his head towards the bridge, which was in a state of horrible disrepair. The planks looked broken, the handrails falling apart, and the four pedestals, two on each end, that sat empty were broken. “This is my bridge,” The Panlong explained. “And for many, many years, I have guarded these waters and their inhabitants. But my bridge has begun to fall into a state of disrepair. I wish only for it to be fixed, but no one cares enough to do so.  So I live in these waters, and I wait, but still, no one comes to help it. I look after the ducks, and lately, I have noticed that this park has become…less than safe. I wanted only to protect them. My powers are not complete without my bridge. If it is broken, so am I.” He hung his head low, looking sad, and then swept his tail gently beneath the broken bridge. A gaggle of little ducklings paddled out, looking healthy and happy as they swarmed around the Panlong. He looked from Laksimi to Mortimer. “Do you have magic that could…aid in the repair of my bridge?” Perhaps Mortimer did. Maybe you should ask him if he can help?

[Shieba]

Laksimi watched the exchange between the two so very different creatures with interest. When the Panlong said that he didn't eat ducks and seemed so horrified by the idea, she was really glad. Her godly powers were mostly sealed because she was still too small to control them, but she could tell instinctively pretty well if someone was lying or not and the Panlong didn't seem to do so. "If you protect duckie-babies, you go to heaven!" she declared. "But you should think about the Mommy-duckies! They'll be all sad and worried when their babies are gone! Duckies like to be out in the open because they can swim and walk and dive and fly and so they need space!" She looked from the Panlong to Mortimer and back. "Or have these duckie-babies lost their Mommy?! I could help raising them!" That sounded like a job for a professional duckie-expert, after all and having duckies around all the time would be amazing!

When the Panlong mentioned that Laksimi had powers, she beamed. "That's right! My Daddy is the Grim Reaper! He sends souls to the Realm of the Dead and then sorts them into heaven and hell! I'm not allowed to use magic yet, though. But I still teleport sometimes...please don't tell Mommy and Daddy, though, or I'll be in trouble. But mainly, I have become a professional duckie-expert! Now I can also understand duckies perfectly! I can hear every word Mortimer is saying!" Maybe Laksimi could become the half-goddess of duckies now? Or take care of duckie-souls? She had to talk to her father about this!

"That's so sad!" Laksimi stated when the Panlong talked about his bridge. It really didn't look all that well, now that she could see it up close. "If this is your home and you are a friend of duckies, we clearly must help you so that you can continue to be a friend of duckies!" She narrowed her eyes. "So it's dangerous here? It's that Socross guy, right? He steals duckie-eggs! I knew it!" Did that mean that the duckie-eggs had only become stolen because the bridge was broken? Well, then Laksimi simply had to fix it. Right now, however, she simply had to coo over the cute duckie-babies who had appeared. "Hello duckiiiiiiiiiies! You are soooo cuuuuuute! Have some bread so that you grow up all soft and fluffyyyyyy!" She pushed some bread towards the babies and also a bit more to Mortimer next to her before returning to the question at hand. "I can only teleport things with my magic and Mortimer can make himself fluffier with his! And he can swim faster!" she told the Panlong before looking at Mortimer. "You are the ruuuuuuler of the duckiiiiiies! Can you call the duckie-army? Maybe it can fix the bridge?" Laksimi really, really didn't know much about armies, it seemed.

Shieba:
(Ahem. Long post is long.)

The Panlong chuckled softly. “You are a strange one, little fox. I am sorry I have taken the babies from their mothers. They will be returned, of course. I will protect them from afar, if I must. I only thought I was doing them some good by keeping them safe.” He hung his head as the baby ducks swam in circles around the massive dragon, then shot off towards the group of ducks behind Mortimer and Laksimi. “Do not worry. I won’t tell anyone about your secret.” He seemed less menacing now, his face and eyes full of sadness. “It is not the Socross; he is actually the caretaker of this land. But he isn’t around very often, and he has more pressing matters to attend. I am sure he would be worried if he knew about the bridge and the ducks.” He lowered his head so it was level with the water. “Mortimer?” he looked amused as the duck fluffed himself up indignantly. “Can you aid me?”

Mortimer was subtly chewing some of the bread, but swallowed quickly (The baby ducks had devoured the rest when they’d swam by; he’d have to remember to ask for more) and spoke. “Well…yes. I can. But I’ll need all the ducks.” He quacked extra loud, fluffing his feathers up as a gaggle of multiple ducks suddenly swam over from the other side of the stream where they’d been watching curiously. The ducks were all varying shades of different colors, most of them normal (though a few here and there had odd speckles of splashes of color on their underbelly). Mortimer qucked at them, and as one, the group quacked back, all turning towards the Panlong, who looked expectant. As one, the ducks raised their wings and began flapping, stirring up quite a ruckus of water and…something else?

The great dragon rose up, staring down at the ducks who began to wave their feathers and wings around. A great light enveloped the serpent, who closed his eyes with a smile as the magic wound it’s way around his form. Mortimer’s beak opened, and he began chanting; “Great bells and tripods, beautiful vessels, works of art. The mountain dragon, or pheasant, and all animals of variegated plumage, the aquatic grass, flamboyants and grains of cereals engraven, one symbol interwoven with another. The sleeping rhinoceros and crouching tiger, the dragon, wreathed in coils wrought. Dragons which do not yet ascend to heaven; dragon coiled in the mud will be insulted by a newt; a sage will be ridiculed by a fool; the dragon greatly trusted in its lair, leaped in its pool where a mirror, adorned on the backside with a coiled dragon will be worshiped.”

As he spoke, the dragon glowed, it’s scales taking on an unnatural sheen of silver and metal. As they watched, it’s body began to shrink, splitting off into four separate, smaller parts. It lost the form of a serpent, instead materializing into giant circles of silver and molten metal. As the duck waved it’s feathers and winds, the dragon ascended from it’s four separate areas, and shot towards the four corners of the bridge. The wooden planks slowly began to reform, hardening and repairing themselves. The hand rails were no longer broken and falling apart. The sakura tree that grew beside the bridge suddenly bloomed and sprung to life, the petals floating harmlessly and beautifully down across the bridge and water. The empty pedestals that sat on either side of the bridge were suddenly occupied by small, silver dragon statues. On each dragon’s face, there was a smile, and a look of peace.

Mortimer turned to Laksimi, and frowned. “Check under that bridge,” he instructed. “It looks like the dragon might’ve left something.” Indeed, it seemed as though when the dragon disappeared, something had appeared in his place beneath the bridge. It looked very strange, and seemed to be…what exactly was it doing? It was hard to tell unless you were up close.

[Shieba]

(H-how can you type so much so quickly?! o_o Homg, impressive!)

"I am sure the duckies will all visit you!" Laksimi quickly told the dragon. After all, protecting the duckies only from afar would be sad! Laksimi always wanted to be as close to all duckies as possible. She watched how the babies returned to their families. "See, duckiiiiiies? He's all niiiiiiice!" she called towards the group. And he really was; even willing to keep Laksimi's secret safe! "We can care for the duckies together!" she suggested. "And you must tell me what's so dangerous here! That Socross was pretty mean, but if it's not him, I haven't seen anything else dangerous."

As soon as Mortimer had said 'all the ducks' and they all started gathering, Laksimi beamed with happiness. So many duckies in one place! And some seemed to have quite a few unusual colored feathers. "Duckiiiiiiiiiiiiiies! You are all so amaaaaaazing!" she called to them as they prepared for whatever they had decided to do. Hearing them all quack was also so cute! Laksimi wondered if she would have enough bread and snails for all of them.

And then...she had no idea what was happening. Her duckies at home had never done anything like that! Or maybe duckies only did such things around professional duckie-experts? She clearly had so much to learn still! No duckie-book her mother had read to her so far had said anything about duckies doing magic, but it was amazing!

"What happened? Where is my new friend-of-duckies-friend?" The bridge looked awesome again and the tree was so pretty, but she had no idea where the dragon had disappeared to. She looked at Mortimer. "Mooooortimer! Duckiiiiiies! That was awesoooome!" She distributed more bread into the huge crowd. "You are sooooo cuuuuute!" Then, she tilted her head. "Mooortimer! You didn't tell me about that maaagic!" She started to squint. "I thiiiink you also look a bit fluffier than befoooore!"

Laksimi peeked under the bridge. There was supposed to be something there? "Maybe the dragon collects duckie-things like meeee?" she called back to Mortimer. But she couldn't take something that didn't belong to her and the dragon would surely be back soon? But Mortimer was the ruler of the duckies, so if he said to check, she probably should. And she wanted to see duckie-things. Maybe the Panlong had a duckie-clock? Laksimi got back into the water and swam towards the object.

(I’m actually a ridiculously fast super computer. I just pretend to be a real human from time to time. Lawl XD)

Mortimer looked smug, even as the other ducks all swam off to go about their business as if nothing had happened. “I told you I was magical; I just didn‘t explain how,” he explained. “And this park isn’t…exactly what it seems to be. I’m sure the other contestants will find that out on their own. Your visit here is almost over, I’m afraid. But you’re welcome to come back any time.” He looked to the bridge, which now seemed to almost sparkle triumphantly in the sunlight. “The Panlong has returned to the bridge; he is now able to watch over and protect us without having to take the baby ducks. We are all safer now.” Mortimer followed after her, shaking his head. This weird fellox would be…well, maybe kinda missed when she left. Or…maybe not. Eh. “It’s fine. Just take the egg.” When the Fellox got closer to the egg, it appeared to be doing something…odd.

It looked as though it was melting, as though it was made of water. How very odd. This was definitely one of the eggs from the contest. No other egg could look so very strange, could it? And no duck could’ve laid an egg this large. “Maybe try smashing that thing? I hear the people who made the event want you to do that. And it’s not a duck egg, I can promise that. Just smash it with a rock or your foot or something. Your prize is probably inside.”

[Shieba]

(Homg. XD You're a computer laughing about enemas? Maaaan, the technology these days gets crazier and crazier! *shakes her old grandma cane at no one in particular* 8B)

"Are all duckiiiiies magical?" Laksimi asked. She wanted magical duckies in her lake at home as well. "And I still have snaaaails! I don't want to go yet! And I will come back a lot and talk to you and the other duckies! ...Why couldn't I understand the other duckies right now? I'm a professional duckie-expert now and I looooove you guys!" She looked at the bridge. The Panlong had...returned? But he had been right next to the bridge all the time, right? Laksimi didn't get it. "You duckiiiiiiies are so much smarter than meeeee! I hope I can be as smart as a duckie one day!" She was glad that the Panlong and the duckies had become friends so quickly now, though!

The weird egg confused Laksimi. And was it really okay to take it? Laksimi had, before Mortimer told her, the sudden hope that maybe a gigantic duckie would hatch from the egg, much larger than a normal one (maybe the size of a goose? Laksimi liked geese, too. She should visit Robert and Maisy and her other friends in the fountain soon, she decided). "Not a duckie-egg? Sad! But that means that the Socross hasn't hidden duckie-eggs! That's good!" Relieved that this was also cleared up, Laksimi dared to push the strange egg towards where she could comfortably stand on solid ground again. Smashing it, though? That was a bit sad. Since duckies hatched from eggs, Laksimi liked all eggs, naturally. But if Mortimer said so, she probably should do it. After all, he was a ruler! And a duckie! Clearly, he had to know best! Laksimi hesitated for a second and then tried smashing the egg with her paw, hoping that it would work.

(XD I’m pretty magical like that. …does not compute)

“No…Just certain ones. Like the ones in this park. It takes a keen eye to find the magical ones. And a good ear to hear them talking.” Then, deciding to humor her, he added; “But since you’re a duckie-expert, I’m sure you’ll find them easily. You probably couldn‘t understand the others because…” He thought a moment, then made something up. He was magical; he could talk, and the others, while partially magic, could not. “They’re speaking a different duck language. Just like you have different languages, so do we.” He watched as she pressed down on the egg. With  a cracking sound, it broke under her paw. Out tumbled what looked suspiciously like a bag of keystones. It clunked to the ground, and Mortimer poked it with his beak. “Looks like you found your prize!” he declared. A note fluttered to the ground, and Mortimer picked it up. It glowed as he touched it, and he read it aloud, quite happily;

Money here, and money there
Money, money, everywhere!
It’s not a lot, but it should do
It’s a gift from me to you!
Thanks for coming, it was swell,
I feel I know you now so well!
Goodbye my friend, but don’t be sad
Our adventure here was not so bad!

((Congratulations, Shieba! It seems you’ve found 120 KS! Thank you very much for participating, and I hope to see you again down the road when I have another contest! You may now make your exit post, and I will send your prize shortly!))

"I wiiiiiill!" Finding magical duckies seemed like an awesome thing to do! The job of a professional duckie-expert was amazing! And she was learning so much, too! "I never kneeeeew! I will learn all duckie-languages of the world so that I can understand all duckies!" She wondered if any of her duckies at home spoke the language Mortimer did. Maybe Boss? He was the ruler of the duckies of the lake, after all, and maybe all rulers spoke the same language? Laksimi couldn't wait to try!

"Money!" Happily, Laksimi nudged the bag. "Maybe the dragon put it there as a duckiiiiiie-friend to buy bread with the money for all duckiiiiiiies! I'll do it for him and feed aaaaaaall of you!" Laksimi was all excited. She had made so many friends today and now she even got money to get more bread to spend more time with them. "Mooooortimer! I'll go and buy more bread for aaaaaall you duckiiiiiies!" Mortimer had liked her bread a lot, after all. "I loooooove you guys sooooo much!" Maybe Mortimer could translate for her to the rest of the duckies and they could all sit down somewhere and have a duckie-picnic? Maybe under the pretty tree next to the bridge? Then maybe the nice dragon would come back as well! Laksimi happily wagged her tails, water drops splashing everywhere. Luckily, it was warm and she wouldn't get a cold from her swimming around. "I'll be riiiight back, Mooooortimer! Don't swim aaaanywhere! Go get aaaaaall duckiiiiiies! We need to celebrate that the Mommy-duckies got the baby-duckiiiiies back as well! It will be aaaawesome! And then you must shoooow your magic and be suuuuuper-fluffyyy!" Happily, Laksimi put the money into her bag. Time to find a bakery and then spend the rest of the afternoon with her new, cute friends!

Naomi was strolling around the park, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the cheerful chirps of the birds, when she say a small Socross intently reading a very old, worn book. She had seen him the other day, conversing with a handful of others, and she had picked up a few words including 'magic', 'contest', and 'eggs'. Eggs were really popular now, Naomi had been in two searches in just the past month. But she had enjoyed herself and definitely wouldn't mind another hunt. Besides, a cheerful young girl had just exited, definitely excited about her winnings in the contest. The event was getting more promising by the minute.

"Excuse me, I hate to interrupt." She said kindly to the Socross, hoping he wouldn't find her rude or annoying. Before continuing, she gave him a warm smile. "Do you happen to have an open slot available for this.. contest? It looks like tons of fun and I'd love to participate!"

(( I know it says the slots are closed. But I saw this rule and so yeah, didn't know if we could post or not. If this is wrong I apologize and will delete the post! ))
