Snippet #1981516

A small grin touched the corners of Skylar's lips. Ah, what great acting skills he had - as if he hadn't noticed her characters at all. A blatant lie. There was no way in hell he couldn't have seen her characters, or at least just Jinx. She kept up her pace, legs carrying her easily through the winding trees. The egg she was hunting seemed to be moving further into the depths of the trees. Gritting her teeth, she followed it as best she could, taking dangerously narrow turns at tree trucks and underbrush. A calm expression painted across her face, Jinx' personality taking hers over in an instant. Oh egg~ Where could it be? She paused at the edge of a small clearing, watching a small black dot flying around the non-wooded area. Gotchya~

"Sky, switch with me instead," Vin said, floating out from her bag to her left.

"Why?" Jinx stepped in, meeting her friend's eyes with cool indifference. "I'm more powerful."

"Yes, but I'm better built for this situation." After a moment, the two charas exchanged a nod and Skylar's appearance returned to normal, her necklace charm changing to a father.

The red-haired bearer glanced at her characters. "What is an X-egg?"

"The shattered dreams of a child," Rue said in an all too cheery voice. "You should try to capture it, Sky. Maybe we can fix it."

"Fix it? How the hell am I going to fix it?"

The three characters simultaneously shrugged. Skylar released a frustrated groan. "No bother, I can't blame you guys for not knowing," she murmured, her personality slowly forming to that of Vin's. Her amber eyes flickered back to the clearing. What to do, what to do...
