In the deep expanse of the desert, a lone blobling begins it's existence...

Crimson orbs opened for the first time; vision gradually becoming clearer from their perspective. "Mmn..", shaking left and right, the remainder of their vision came to them; their first view, it was a moment to be cherished.-- Yet they felt nothing. "What...is this? Where...am I? Who...--", suddenly, a name flashed into their mind cloaked in an aura of familiarity, "Me. I see". Surveying the area, silky smooth sand stretched for miles and miles on either side of them. Pondering their actions, they settled on sitting there, up until an internal urge compelled them to move forward, and so they did. Knowing no other option than to roll, they began doing so, heading in any which way direction in the hopes of eventually satiating this internal force.

"I am Me..I am...Me.", repeating this phrase to themselves for solidification sake, they rolled onward for undetermined stretch of time. Growing accustomed to the texture of the sand against their skin as they rolled in it, the blobling came to a sudden stop as, in the distance, a figure began to form. Due to their freshly gained eyesight, there were still moments of blur they were working out which made it impossible to make the figure out but that didn't stop the blobling from wondering. "What?...", having no caution nor curiosity, they made their way toward the distant shadow; the picture making itself clearer the closer they became.

Gemini

Gemini floated above the sands, her tail wrapped around her legs making her look almost like a floating cloud. She had heard that Vermin had moved his band of braves and she was keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. She figured that floating might help her see farther in the distance. But she found she could not float as high as she had wanted. But it was better then walking in the shifting sand.

As she floated along she started to notice a shape rolling along the sands. Was this one of the braves she was looking for? She floated faster and her tail was no longer wrapped around her but flowed out behind her as she sped up.

When she got close enough she recognized the roundness of a new blob. Or maybe it was a brave that hadn't changed yet. Still on her guard she called out.

"Hello! Are you lost?"

In the vastness of the Smiley Sands, a blobling is led by fate...

What was first a distant shadow revealed itself at a rate faster than expected. Whatever it was, it was approaching them just as they were approaching it.-- A collision was upon them. "What...", before they could finish, their eyes widened as the shadows finally gave way; a creature of unfathomable beauty making themselves known to the blobling. At first, the body was cloud-like- though they were incapable of recognizing it as such, then it became much, much more. Staring blankly at the creature as it called out to them, they mimic'd the creature's volume and offered a monotone response.

"Lost?", what did that mean, they wondered, "Am..I lost"? Leaving the creature with silence for a few moments, they pondered on the concept but ultimately fell short. "What does that mean"? They looked first to the sky, then around them at the ever-stretching sands, then finally back to the creature before them. "It was dark...there was nothing. Then...suddenly..I'm here.", they questioned the creature. "Is that Lost?..Are you lost too"?

Gemini kept floating closer until she was floating right in front of the blob. This was not one of Vermin's braves but a brand new blobling. Lucky for this one she had found it first. She shuttered at what Vermin would do to such an innocent blob.

"Lost. No I am not lost." She chuckled. "I know pretty much where I am. This is the Smiley sands. Or as my friend Star says the great sand box."

"But it's not as safe out here as it use to be. There is a very bad blob around here and I have heard he likes to bury blobs in the sand if they don't become one of his braves. I could take you to a safer place if you want?" Gemini said.

Within the endless sands, two creatures converse...

Now that the creature stood before them, they couldn't help but take notice of the height disparity between the two. The creature towered over them, and ridiculously so; they were monstrous to the small, innocent blobling. That being said, due to their lack of emotion, they wouldn't have been capable of processing how this made them feel even if they wanted to. So, with that in mind, they chose to let the matter rest and focus on what was important to the moment; this conversation and what lied beyond it.

The creature had told them they weren't lost, as well as identified their current location. "The Smiley Sands?...", they looked around again, registering the "name to face" before pausing on a word the creature had said during their response. "Friend?..", the word vexed them, "What is..", before they could utter their question, they allowed the creature to finish speaking; waiting patiently until it was their turn to talk. Once it was, they took a brief moment of pause to digest what was said thus far, then addressed the creature next.

"There's so much I don't understand...So many words I don't know...This place isn't safe, right? I don't know what safe means, but..by the tone of your voice I think I should want to be wherever or whatever safe is; and you can take me there, to "safe"". Within their mind existed a void. One that- which each sentence exchanged between the two, was filled piece by piece. They weren't sure what prompted them to "exist" suddenly nor did they care. In truth, they were more concerned with the immediate than a concept beyond their realm of understanding; as little as that realm is currently.

"Ok". They weren't capable of saying please or even thank you - however, as a follow up of their acceptance of the creature's proposal, they did lightly nudge whatever part of the creature's body they could rub themselves against. "Take me! Take me! Safe! Safe"!

"Don't worry. I will take you some where safe. But it's a long way to get there. And rolling will not get you there very fast. Neither will hoping. So you will need to float just like I am. " Gemini answered. She floated down to the sandy ground. Not quite touching and then floating back up.

"It's pretty easy to do." Try it."

It was a good thing she had come out here. She had met a few brand new blobs and they all needed to have a little guidance.
She would take this blob to the library. Star would know what to do.

Somewhere, within the universe, a blobling's destiny begins..

They were told by the creature that they'd be taken somewhere safe - however, their current method of transportation (i.e rolling) wouldn't be feasible in the long term; they would need to float.

"Float??", the concept puzzled them initially until given a demonstration which they reacted to with the same neutral gaze they'd greeted everything with. "Ooooh...Float!", thinking about the execution and not what made it possible, the blobling began hopping up and down; attempting (and failing) to get it right.

"Oomph", landing with a soft hiss into the sands after their final attempt, the blobing gave up on the idea and addressed the creature apathetically in defeat. "I can't do it...Why?", it wasn't sure what to do, it needed to get to "safe", "Can you take me somehow? Can you make me "float" too"?

Gemini frowned. Usually floating was as easy as well walking, or rolling. You just did it. She had never come across a blob who couldn't float. She floated down to the ground and grimacing touched the red shifting sand.

"Usually blobs just think about floating and then they do." Gemini said as she looked down at the white blob.

"Try thinking that you are weightless. And that you are going up into the sky. Don't worry you can't actually float that high." Gemini added quickly.

If that didn't work the she would have to carry the blob on her back.

Within the abysmal sands, a singular blob learned how to float...

In response to their failed attempts to "float" prior, the creature offered a different expression; one that they couldn't really comprehend but made note of anyway. The creature mentioned that usually "blobs" could perform this act with little to no effort. Firstly, they mentally paused on the word "blob", matching it's usage with the context given to put two and two together. "I'm a blob?", they whispered to themselves as the creature spoke, "I'm..a blob"! A sensation of warm and familiarity washed over them as the word echoed throughout their frame; it felt right, it felt "safe".

They mentally returned to the conversation right as the creature was finishing up. Hearing something about the sky, which then beckoned their attention, as they became captivated by the view. "The sky..can I touch it?", envisioning themselves reaching for it, their body gradually floated (an inch or two) on it's own without their knowledge; the blobling only taking notice once they'd finished staring. "Huh?..", no longer feeling the texture of the sand nor hearing it's hiss, the blobling looked to the creature blankly. "I'm floating. I did it".

They were successful. Now they could float to "safe" all on their own without the creatures assistance. This fact instilled no feeling within them, but they felt as triumphant as one could get. "I'm ready. Ready to go to safe". Waiting for the creature's next instructions, they stared blankly whilst familiarizing themselves with their new mode of transportation.

A lone blob decided to wander off from the Brave's base, as the chaos of the constant 'hurt' training was getting to him. He didn't know if he would ever get used to it. Maybe. He stared at the ground with his hands behind his back as he kicked at the sand. He was meandering off in a random direction not looking for anything in particular. Luckily his little mental timer was well wound and he didn't feel any particular need for a fight.

His feathery hair drooped in front of his two pairs of eyes, obscuring his view of his surroundings, with the only thing seen by him being the bright sand.

Gemini watched as the little round blobling started to float. She was glad that they had figured it out. She would have been happy to let the fellow blob ride on her back. But this was so much better.

"See I told you you could do it." Gemini exclaimed. "Now that you know how to float you just need to imagine yourself moving forward or in any direction and you will move. Once you have that down we could make our way to the Onyx city or to B's town. Although B's town is still a work in progress."

"The city has a library" She said as a last thought.

In the depth of nothingness, a blobling emerged victorious...

They'd done it, yet they felt nothing.-- Were they supposed to? Judging by the wealth of expressions the other creature provided, there was certainly something missing; they just couldn't fathom what. Oh well, perhaps another moment. For now, they had to focus on this new mode of transportation. This, "floating", as it was called. As the creature instructed, they began to think of moving forward, in the way that they would roll through the sand. And sure enough, the blobling moved forward. They missed the feeling of rolling while being content with their peripheral not constantly spinning; it was a well worth trade, they thought. One for the other.

After a minute or two of floating around while not straying too far, they returned to the creature feeling familiar enough with floating to travel long distances. "Could..you tell me about them both? Onyx City and B's Town? Are they both "safe"? There were so many questions; hopefully she had the answers."What's a library"?

Taking a good long walk helped calm down his nerves as, after a while, he lifted his head and pushed some of his top hair back with his hand. He paused for a moment in this position until he realized something. The problem was, he now was lost in the same repeating landscape of the Smiley Sands. Dropping his hand down onto his hip, he surveyed the landscape. Surprisingly, there was something different from the vast reds, oranges, and blacks that dotted the region.

He spotted what looked to be a bright purple and a white speck in the distance. It had to be something of course, but whether it be a structure or a living being, he didn't know. It didn't hurt to check it out no matter the answer, and so he strode on towards it.

While walking, he could now see what it was. There were two blobs that seemed to be conversing out in the middle of the same nowhere he got stuck in. He was still too far to hear what they were saying though, but hopefully he could ask where the nearest 'somewhere' was.

Well the onyx city i rather large and has shops and housing and a plant that grows paper and pens. It has an arena where you can go and learn how to get strong and defend yourself so that you can be safe. And then there is the great library. It's a great place to go if you want to know about something. The city is in the swamps so it green and much nicer to be in then this dry red place." Gemini answered.

She took a moment to think of what she could say about B's town. She had only been there once and she only remembered a little bit of it.

"B's town is still growing and there is room to have a whole house there. They are still building and it can be quite loud at times. It's in the smiley sands and it's-not-to-" Gemini looked around to get her bearings and realized that in the process of stopping to check on this new blob she no longer knew in what direction she was going and was now completely lost.

Within the vast sands, a lone blobling became lost...

As the creature explained Onyx City, the blobling found themselves captivated by all the new concepts and terms they were learning at once. Shops, housing, plants, papers, pens. Minuscule to most, but to them? It was everything. If their mouth was capable of it, it would dripping with saliva - however, the blobling would have to settle with a neutral expression. "Library...", they pondered, "I want to learn...everything". In their eyes, they figured the more knowledge gained, the bigger advantage against the world around them. There was so much they didn't know, didn't understand. If there was a place that could solve this problem? They'd be attached to it at the hip.

"I like the sound of Onyx City. Can we go there"? As the creature began talking about B's Town, they suddenly froze; looking around themselves in confusion. Noting the aforementioned, the blobling spoke up. "Is something the matter?", they said whilst floating in place, "Can I...help"?
