Dramatis personae:
Squeak squeaks!
Echo squeaks back.
Squeak squeeeaks?
Echo chirps!
Squeak bounds around you a few times and squeaks, "Mew!"
Echo warbles in chorus, multiple softly glowing tendrils appearing around the image.
Squeak's eyes stretch wide!
Echo sings gently of open spaces with green skies and long blue grasses waving in the breeze.=
Squeak perks his ears up and listens up!
Tendrils above chant the hours as a pleasant orange sun rises and falls, a peaceful yellow moon following the same course. Tendrils to below whisper the grasses and occasional pulse or shout of a tree on the rolling plain. Tendrils on all sides follow the trills and bleats and whistlings of wildlife all about. And one quiet voice in the middle, close by you, speaking the urgent- hushed- steps! of a tigrish hunter in the rubbery jungle.
Squeak gets down in to a crouch, he must be sneaky, he thinks!
The voices soften, focusing on a young rubber gazelle, strayed from the herd. It bleats for its mother. Closer and closer as the hunter moves... then a murmur from the grasses, a hiss and whoosh overhead... the wind has changed, and the young thing starts awake! It tries to leap away, but the hunter charges forward-_-_-_-! A leap and grab!
Squeak squeeeeeeaks excitedly, his eyes stretched cartoonishly wide!
Alas, the gazelle is too slow. It is grabbed and snuggled mercilessly, its struggles gradually calming. The birds around settle back down again, and the rubber tiger sleeps warmly with the sweet deer-child.
Squeak bounces about and squeaks! He should get rubber balls for being so good!
Echo gives you a smallish blue rubber ball. :)
Squeak chews on it happily! He's such a good toy!
