A Kids Wandering (Valora, now open)

[Vista Alor]

Vista sighs as she plops herself down on the ground outside of a door. Yarden's a short distance away right now, but not doing anything except following her. But that's fine. She told Rognan that she's going to be wandering the halls, looking for someone to play with. Mind you, she did this when Marga was just arriving so there wasn't many objections. Now she's just bored since she's found no one who has had the time to play. She wants to play.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora skids around the corner, and bumps into Vista.

"Sorwy! I go!"

Valora gets up and starts to run down the hall and into another room, just as a spider like droid comes darting around the corner. The droid asks Vista in a soft female voice...

"Have you seen a 3.5 year old girl run past here?"

[Vista Alor]

Vista nods and points to the door which she's sitting by.

"Went in there an asked me no tell so not let her know I tell."

Vista stands up and runs off down the hall towards the room which Valora went into. She opens the door, enters and closes the door behind her as if she lives in that room, though in fact, it's a supply closet that both Vista and Valora are in now.

"Why you running?"

Vista questions curiously.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora looks up at Vista..

"Audwee trying to catch me."

[Vista Alor]

"Who's Audwee? The droid that come asking?"

Vista questions.

[Valora Ashen]

"Audwee is mommy's ship. It has it's own mind, and a driod that look like big bug. Mommy put her to sit me, but I no want to be sitted."

[Vista Alor]

"Oh. I saw droid like that. It ask for a 3.5 year old and I pointed to the door I was infront of. I have a kitty that is set to sit me. But I a big girl. I no need to be sit on."

Vista says. If anyone is listening to this conversation, they would probably be laughing at least slightly since it's two kids talking in a supply closet.

[Valora Ashen]

"You saw Audwee? She not near here is she?"

[Vista Alor]

"I saw her where you twipped on me. That is near."

[Valora Ashen]

"ohoh... I need get way den! No want be sitted!"

[Vista Alor]

"I know. I go out first and if safe, I let you know. That way you no risk be sitted on."

Vista suggests.

[Valora Ashen]

"Okay, That sound good!"

[Vista Alor]

Vista takes a deep breath before getting a pouting look on her face as she opens the door to the supply closet and steps out, closing the door behind her.

"Dwat, it got away."

Vista says as she looks up and down the hall.

[Audrie X-4]

Audrie's spider like droid comes out of the room that Vista pointed her to and walks over to Vista...

"Are you sure she went that way? cause I couldn't find her."

[Vista Alor]

Vista nods her head.

"Yup, she went that way. You just no look hard nough to find her an if you no find her, her Mommy not be happy that you no sit on her."

[Audrie X-4]

Audrie turns away thinking that Vista is trying to help Valora, but plays along anyway.

"Okay. I'll go check again. but I don't think she is there."

Audrie goes back into the room, and watches arround the corner to see if valora come out of hiding.

[Vista Alor]

Vista stays where she is until Audrie is out of sight again. She then turns around and opens the door.

"You sitter gone. It safe come out and hide else where."

Vista says in a quiet voice, loud enough for Valora to hear her.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora pokes her head out of the closet...

"She go where? We go udder way she not go..."

[Vista Alor]

"She go that way."

Vista points to the room that Audrie is in.

"So we go this way."

Vista points in the direction that the room's not in.

[Valora Ashen]

"Okay!"

Valora goes to skitter off in the direction away from Audrie.

[Vista Alor]

Vista smiles ans she skitters off with Valora, not noticing that Yarden gets up and follows.

[Valora Ashen]

As the run down the hall valora asks Vista..

"Sooo... Now where we go! Want go play in garden? Dig in dirt?"

[Vista Alor]

"Digging dirt is fun. Garden got lots of dirt."

[Valora Ashen]

Valora then goes to run off to the garden.

[Vista Alor]

Vista runs along side of Valora, and after several minutes, they reach the Garden. Pushing open the door, the two of them skitter into the Garden, closing the door behind them. Vista happens to trap Yarden inside so she'll have to find another way into the Garden.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora runs over to the nearest patch of dirt and starts to dig. this just happens to be right next to the rose bushes.

[Vista Alor]

Vista runs over with Valora, sits down on the ground and starts to dig, not caring that it's next to a rose bush.

"My Mommy told me once that there is always treasure to find when you dig."

[Valora Ashen]

"really? What kinda treasure?"

Valora starts to neetly stack the dirt she is digging up,

[Vista Alor]

"All sorts a treasure. Like money and candy and lots a things."

Vista starts her own pile of dirt as she's digging, hoping to find the treasure.

"Though Mommy say it hard to find."

[Valora Ashen]

"How deap do we have to dig to find it?"

[Vista Alor]

"Don't know. Mommy never told me."

[Valora Ashen]

"Oh..."

Valora keeps digging, and after a short time she hit something hard. She didn't realise that it was the deck plating under the dirt....

"I Hit something hard!!"

[Lorani T'sava]

please delete this post. wrong character.

[Vista Alor]

Vista perks up immensly when Valora says she hit something hard.

"Treasure. It has to be."

[Valora Ashen]

Valora smakes at the hard thing with her hands.

"Now what we do?"

[Vista Alor]

"Simple, we dig it up."

Vista goes to concertate her digging, moving out from where Valora discovered the deck plating.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora continues to dig as well, hoping that they can dig up the deck plating.

[Vista Alor]

Vista goes to dig as fast as she can with her hands, trying to uncover the treasure completely.

[Valora Ashen]

After a while of digging they get rather close to the roses. They have already riped up most of the roots from one plant.

"This must be really big treasure!"

[Vista Alor]

"Must be to be close to"

Vista points to the rose bush which they've come up to.

"We dig round that and if have to, dig up."

[Zeke]

The backs of their clothes pinch and ruff up as they're yanked up into the air. The girls float just high enough to keep their feet off the ground, spinning slowly to face the guy who's interrupted them. He's leaning over slightly to see eye-to-eye with them, and is smiling broadly.

"Havin' fun?"

His tone indicates a teacher who's caught his students making a mess. It's quite clear that they're in trouble, despite the happy smile on his face.

[Valora Ashen]

Valora puts on her cute little girl smile as she is turned to face Zeke. Her whole body is caked in dirt from head to toe.

"Yup! We havin fun! We find tresure, an trying to dig it up!"

[Vista Alor]

Vista looks at Zeke with a rather innocent face as if she truly believes that she has done nothing wrong.

"Mommy says that there treasure in dirt, and if you find, you dig it up."

Vista points to the cleared deck plating.

"And that just piece of treasure. We dig up treasure and show and have fun and make dad happy."

Vista on occasion calls Rognan her dad even though he doesn't want her to.

[Zeke]

"Treasure? Oh, I dunno."

Zeke doesn't wanna be a killjoy and spoil their fun, but he doesn't need them digging up the garden just to find the deck.

"Miss Rie made this garden. I don't think she'd appreciate you digging up all her plants and making a mess. Isn't there a park near here? You could go dig there instead."

[Vista Alor]

"But the Treasure here, not in park. In park we have start gain and we might no find treasure."

[Zeke]

"But if you dig up Miss Rie's treasure and take it, that makes you a thief. Thieves are bad people, and Jedi send them to jail for a long time. You don't want to be a thief, do you?"

[Valora Ashen]

Valora stops digging...

"I no bad person! I no steal! We not know that This owned already!"

[Vista Alor]

Vista pouts slightly as she's told that the treasure already belongs to somebody.

"Sorry, I not know it owned."

[Zeke]

"Well certainly it is. Someone had to put it there, right?"

He sets them down as they start to pout and ruffles their hair.

"I buried some treasure that I'll let you have, though, if you'll promise not to dig up Miss Rie's garden anymore, okay?"

[Vista Alor]

Vista perks up slightly when Zeke says he'll give them some treasure which he dug up awhile ago if they leave this treasure alone.

"I promise, I promise."

[Zeke]

"Good to hear," he says, looking to Valora. "You too?"

[Valora Ashen]

Valora looks up at Zeke.

"I promise too!"

[Zeke]

"Awesome. Now let's go find the treasure," he says encouragingly, steering them into the dormitory. "I hid it in here. You guys get to look for it. Want any clues, or would you rather do without them?

[Vista Alor]

"Well, we need to know where to look so hint please."

Vista says happily.

[Zeke]

Zeke's first impulse is to give them a clue that covers a broad range of places. They're kids though, so it may be best if he gives them a hint that will greatly narrow the places they can search.

"It's in a room for three people."

[Valora Ashen]

"Are there people living in that room?"

[Vista Alor]

"What bout that room?"

Vista says pointing to another room.

[Zeke]

"Sometimes," he says to Valora. "But very rarely. They're not home much."

Then, turning to Vista, he shakes his head.

"Nope, not there. See the slots for nameplates? There aren't any, so that means nobody lives there." He points at the room right next door to that one. "But that door has one nameplate, so that means one person lives there."
