Muse awakens for possibly going to The Box and 3STEP

[dearyme]

Deary me mundane! It has been an awfully long time since we've seen each other. I do think you've missed me. Right? Of course you have! I mean, how could you not miss me?

Me? Of course I missed you! It's been so lonely without anyone around! I'd absolutely love to go to a game again! I know I could make all kinds of friends in any of them! It would be utterly fantastic. Please? I know we'll both have a lot of fun!

You should put in a reserve or two. We both know how those help motivate you. Though I must say, I would kill for a violin right now. It would be just the thing to make my day!

Well, until later mundane. Get working on those applications. Tah tah!

Very interesting.

[The hand that poked Ping Pong isn't like the rest of Karl's body. It is gray, including a portion of the sleeve the hand seems to come out of.]

[littlewoodgecko]

[Ping Pong stares at it and then looks up at Karl, indicating he'd like to touch it.]

May I?

[dearyme]

Huh? May you...what?

[Karl looks confuses. Clearly he doesn't get it. Or he's pretending.]

[littlewoodgecko]

May I examine your hand more closely?

[dearyme]

You want to...? Is something wrong with it?

[He holds his hand out to Ping Pong.]

[littlewoodgecko]

No.

[Ping Pong takes his hand, slowly turning it over.]

Did something happen?

[dearyme]

That? Oh I just fell down a bunch of stairs.

[littlewoodgecko]

Did it hurt?

[There is concern there. More than a little.]

[dearyme]

[Karl's gray eye twitches a little. His smile holds though.]

Sometimes. Only when it's cold out though.

[littlewoodgecko]

Cold stone can be uncomfortable.

[He didn't notice, but he does let go of Karl's hand.]

It is most fascinating that you are a statue who lives and is intelligent. I am honored I was able to meet you.

[dearyme]

You...are?

[This human really is strange. He is honored to meet him? There must be something this small human wants.]

Why thank you Short Guy. I'm honored to meet you too.

[littlewoodgecko]

[Nope, he's just a curious little guy who likes to learn all that he can.]

Oh, my name is Ping Pong. What is yours?

[dearyme]

Call me Karl. Ping Pong. Ping Pong. Why is your name Ping Pong? Is that a normal human name, Short Guy?

[littlewoodgecko]

No, it is a nickname I was given by Brother Omi. My proper name is Maurice Antonio Rolf Jean-Pierre Gaulle LeGrand IV.

[Yeah, Ping Pong is just shorter.]

[dearyme]

...That is a very long name. I'll stick with Short Guy, if I can. Hmm...but then what if I meet someone shorter than you? I can probably remember Ping Pong.

[littlewoodgecko]

Ping Pong would be best. That way if you meet my friends andyou speak of me they will know right away too.

[dearyme]

Friends? Are they humans too? Where are they?

[littlewoodgecko]

Mostly they are. But Dojo is a dragon. I do not know where they are right now though.

[dearyme]

A dragon? Really now? I didn't think real dragons existed. Deary me. How amazing.

[littlewoodgecko]

Dojo is a most wonderous creature, but he has been lonely as of late.
