Some small shrubs here look newly transplanted, rich brown soil disturbed at the base.
They strike you as faintly reproachful for having been dug up and forcibly exiled to this bare area.
Kneeling gracelessly in the dirt, the familiar figure of Jaysen works at the loam with an under-sized spade and trowel.
He wears a pair of headphones leading to an mp3-player on his hip, in imminent danger of getting scuffed.
(Jaysen is listening to the Rave opening song, 'Butterfly Kiss' by Yonekura Chihiro)
Nearby, a smallish creature preens, looking like a long-legged melding of cat and dog.
Smoky lavender with a pattern of red, he curls his tail retrospectively and quietly contemplates the advantages of
lazing in the sun versus hunting for a rodent meal, and his preference thereof.

A cocoa-brown female makes her way up to Jaysen, sniffing at the soil. She butts him in the back when he starts on a new
patch of ground, as if to say, "Not there! Over here!" Dutifully, Jaysen abandons the pariah patch and begins to
turn the soil on the area she indicates.

In comparison, the next melcey you notice seems to be huge. He trots with such a light, airy gait that
it almost seems he's about to float away into the sky.

You have to blink when your eyes fall upon the next melcey. Your mind tells you that she
is merely a darkly-patterned female, sitting calmly in place, yet to your befuddled eyes it almost seems as if she is
cut out of a starless night sky, deep and velvety in a way that defies physical description.

A dark female melcey, patterned with swirls of luminous blue, runs fluidly across the clearing and bounds right up a
low tree to perch in its branches, flopping languidly over it like a puddle of semi-liquid.

A steel blue female has her front paws propped up on a log, tapping one to time to....something. You suspect that it is
the song Jaysen is listening to, judging from how the rhythm of her taps synchronises with the bobbing of his head. But
she can't possibly hear the music, can she?... You ponder this for a while before deciding to move on.
