It's a hatching day in Primary Village! What new friends will hatch today?
Fruits!!! These fruits are so good. She is continually delighted by them. Buuut actually she will try a leaf too.
The leaf tastes green and a little bitter-sweet, flavored with the memory of hopping with her translucent friend.
Oh! That's a good taste! She eats another leaf and looks around to see if she can see her translucent friend anywhere.
This leaf is green, bitter-sweet, and reminiscent of opening her eyes to see the grass she'd offered the shy blob was gone.
There's lots of blobs around, but none of them look quite like she remembers her translucent friend.
!!! This leaf tastes slightly different. She eats another one.
How far off is the jumping tag?
This leaf tastes like miming concepts to the blue blob.
The jump-tag group (which has been joined by a third blob) is close enough that she can see between pretty easily, but not so near that she could keep a close eye on both at once.
The Good Fruits continue to taste sweet and reassuring.
Poyomon looks up from its fruit at her. "Poyo?"
"Prrrrr," buzzes the flying creature, circling down near the ground. It peers at her, tilting its head.
Then it lands on all fours, says "Pu! Pu!," and hops straight in the air, gently flapping its wings to slow its descent.
Hooray!!!!!!! She has found hop friend again!!!! And Poyofriend is here!!! She hops delightedly. "Bud! Bud!"
She sort of wants to tag someone but she has these sharp parts. Oh! She can show hop friend her new super-hopping!!!
Wow! It tries to copy her with its wings, with partial success - it can produce much more lift (relative to its mass), but she can do more sudden movement and smoother gliding.
The other white blob starts jumping too, though more simply.
Poyomon tries stretching up, but can't manage much height or really any bounce at all.
Poyomon is not quite sure where she's going with this, but cooperates as best it can, lifting its fringe out of her spike's way.
She carefully nudges the spike under it and then straightens carefully so Poyomon is balanced on top of her without any of her spikes poking it. "Bud!" she says cheerfully, and hops again.
