Heading back towards where Lammy had come from, they ran into a frantic creature that Blarg and Ronan didn't recognize.
"Oh, you came after all, huh, Saros?" said Lammy , a little surprised.
"That's Saros?" Ronan cried. "What in Odd's name is he?"
Lammy looked peeved. "Yes, that's Saros," he started, then, lowering his voice, "He is a Meech. The very last of his kind. The Vykkers would love to get at him; they'd give two arms to spend five minutes alone with him and some tools. Now let's get moving, before a crowd gathers and we are seen!" And without further ado, Lammy and Saros turned and ran.
Ronan looked skeptical. "Should we trust them?"
Blarg, still a bit upset at the "Blurg" incident, nodded. "Yes. I sense a deep honesty in these two. The need to prove themselves to be trustworthy is great." Ronan was about to speak, but then: "And yes, Saros is a Meech. The Vykkers want to clone him and sell the offspring to meat plants. But ... I .... don't think it will happen. It's hard to pre--"
Ronan shoved him. "Enough mumbo-jumbo, they're getting ahead of us!" And he ran off in the direction Lammy and Saros had gone.
Blarg hesitated only a moment, and hurried along.

Meanhile, the traveler that Geeble had met hurried along at top speed (he was paid fifty moolah by Geeble to go there as soon as possible) to find these "Blarg" and "Ronan" characters and tell them to join Geeble at Mosaic Lines. The parchment that the message was written on was secured tightly in his fist, and he had no intentions of letting it go.
And he wouldn't have ... but a terrible wind kicked up around him as he stood mere meters away from where Saros had been not five mintues before. The mud stumbled, loosening his grip on the note, which flew out of his reach. He fell to the ground and looked above him. He hardly knew what was happening when existance simply opened up and swalloed him, leaving the tattered note fluttering about....

Saros remained passive towards Ronan and Blarg until they had reached the outskirts of the city, but instead spoke in low tones to Lammy. (ooc: grig, please include what it is Saros says to Lammy in your next post) It was clear to everyone that Saros hardly trusted Ronan, and was cautious about Blarg.
Otherwise, very little happend until they had reached a scene that resembled the remains of a small scuffle. Swirls were left in the sand where the wind had blown. A tiny strip of material here, a feather there ... Blarg was the first to determine what had happened.
"It was here," he said simply.
Saros looked over and spoke aloud for the first time. "What was here?"
"It," said Ronan, catching on. "The void. The Big Empty, we called it back in my village ... before it was swallowed."
Lammy squeaked, clearly nervous. "What could swallow a whole village? And how did you escape it?"
Ronan shrugged. "I don't quite understand it myself. I was melding--my word for camaflaguing--and ... everything sorta dissapeared in a blast of wind. It looked like it was being sucked in from the inside--not everything seperately, but as if the village was one big object. I was right near the center as it happened, but ... it didn't see me, I guess."
"How could it 'not see' you?" Saros cried. "It's a big void! It can't think!"
Ronan merely shrugged.
Blarg looked unsettled. "I think ... no, it can't be."
Lammy looked at him suspiciously. "No, tell us what you think. You've caught my interest. What do you think?"
Blarg sighed. "Fine. I'll tell you just what I think."

ooc: guess what? i want to know what blarg thinks, too, PA ... i await your input!
thats all!
