Story
[ Mikaru POV] We were walking along a dirt road, in the middle of noon. I could hear the bells from a nearby church ring, signifying it was 1 o'clock. It was hot and we didn't really feel like talking. Instead, we let the silence comfort us. It wasn't untill a glint on the side of the road caught my attention that I moved from my robotic walking. I leaned down and picked up the object that had caught my eye. Held in my hand was a small stone, smoothed out to perfection. In the middle was a hole, as if the Stone itself was a peekhole into the afterlife itself. Wrapped around the stone and tied was a small string, with two beads and a feather attached to the end. It emenated a strange glow and for some reason I felt the need to nurture it, as if it were a living being....
[ Scarlets POV] We were walking home one day, school had just let out, it was around noon, and hot, very hot. The sound of birds singing was drowned out by the obnoxious church bells ringing. As usual I was pretty quiet , I found the silence quite comforting, as i walked along, a glint caught my eye. I stopped walking in my current direction and headed toward the light on the side of the road. As i approached, I noticed that it seemed to glow. Upon further inspection I saw that it wa a peice of sea glass, it wasn't an ordinary piece of sea glass either, no , it was different. It had a srting wrapped and tied around it, on that string was a bead, and a bell, matching the one constantly tied around my neck. When I pulled my eyes away from the glass, I saw that Mikaru had a strange object in her hands as well, seemingly the same as my piece of glass. These things that we found were no ordinary things... they were special, I knew from now on I would take dear care of this glass. Carefully I attached the small peice of seaglass to my necklace, so it would always be close to me....
[ Mikaru's POV ] I looked over, spotting the glass held carefully in Scarlet's hand. It seemed that it was exactly the same as my stone, minus a few differences. Perhaps these items, so carelessly tossed aside were something more? Something Rare and Beautiful in it's own way. I carefully tucked the stone into my pocket and looked over to Scarlet. Meeting her gaze, it was a silent agreement. We both turned, practically running back home to see what these precious items would do.
Information
Toy's start out as something meaninless and tossed aside, always an inanimate object. The thing that seperates them at first are the slight glowing around them and the string tied to its side. We believe that these items house lost souls and with enough care can become a loyal companion and friend. They most commonly are found in buttons, we don't know why still but thats where they usually are.
