RP of Building Disguise:
Sparkling Sunrise was very excited to make a disguise to try and lure the motes. Maybe if she looked like something other than a giant fluffy and sharp thing bounding towards them, they'd be more interested in coming closer so she could study them. Her brow furrowed, deep in thought, as she wandered around collecting things. Thankfully, she had her two companions to help her with the search. Soon enough, she had a pile of things to work with. "
I wonder if our faces make the motes nervous or something? Like if I looked like some ordinary, still thing, they would come closer?" she mused, pushing a few of the objects around to look at them side by side. After some more thought, her ears pricked up as she gathered her idea.
"
What if I made myself look like a flower and stayed really still? Flowers are nice and unthreatening," the young totoma declared. She moved some of the pieces around, situating each one carefully to represent her idea. Winterdown perched on her horn and hummed in approval. "
Okay," she started, gathering her thoughts on how to achieve the look she was trying for. "
I still want to be enticing and interesting, though. If I were any other flower, they might just float on by without caring." A nod of her head sealed the deal on her plan.
Shards chimed together as Sparkling Sunrise jostled a flatter piece of driftwood into the center of the space she'd made for herself to do this project. She scooped up some sap and clay and smeared it on the driftwood. Then, she swirled the mixture together until it was mostly combined, making the sap less runny but still sticky enough to hold things together. Sparkling Sunrise glanced up at Winterdown, who seemed content to watch her as she worked. "
Okay, friend, I need your help on this one," she said, smiling up at the kincaller. Winterdown tilted her head to meet the totoma's eye and then to look down at the project. After some thought, the bird nodded.
"
Can you put these pearls in center to make a little circle? I want them to look sort of like the middle of a flower," Sparkling Sunrise asked, before adding, "
Well, as much like a flower as possible with pearls and stuff." Winterdown made an annoyed warble as the young totoma's head shook with her giggles. She gave the bird a sheepish look and stilled. The bright creature hopped down from the totoma's horns and gathered up several of the shiny spheres in her beak. Carefully, Winterdown hoisted her way back onto Sparkling Sunrise's horns. The young totoma leaned down so the kincaller could reach, and Winterdown carefully placed the pearls in a cluster in the center. "
Perfect!" Sparkling Sunrise cheered.
Next, she grabbed some of the jasmine vines in her mouth and draped them over the sticky mixture on the edges of the driftwood. With small, careful movements, Sparkling Sunrise managed to coax the vines into a circle on the edges of the small piece of wood. "
I don't think I've ever seen a flower with leave like this," she commented, tilting her head to each side to get a different perspective. "
Hopefully it's not so strange that it's not believable."
Finally, Sparkling Sunrise glanced over at Sunspot, who was curled up and watching her and Winterdown work intently. The young totoma met her eye and smiled. "
Do you want to help with the next part?" she asked. The griffon perked up and rose to her feet. "
Your beak is a bit more precise than my nose," she commented, pushing some petals over to the griffon. "
Would you mind picking up these petals, rubbing some of this butterfly wing on them to make them shiny, and then sticking them between the vines and the pearls? The griffon took a few moments to process the request, glancing between the petals and the project so far. She seemed to gather what was being asked and set to work. A few minutes passed and the petals, now shimmery with butterfly wing dust, were placed in a circle around the pearls.
"
This looks perfect! Thank you so much for helping me," she cooed to her familiars. As a final touch, Sparkling Sunrise grasped the edge of their project with her teeth and dragged it over to some spare clay. First, she dipped her head low enough to press the top of her plating in front of her horns into the clay. Once some adhered to the thick plate, she tipped up the project with her hoof. While she held it still, she pressed the clay covered part of her head to the back of the project. After a few moments, she stood with the project attached in front of her face. "
There! Now I look like a sparkly flower instead!
