{{A/N:I am really sick and I need to sleep but I had this funny idea in my head and I had to get it out or my brain may have exploded in my sleep! ;3; I wasn't going to do another chapter today because I really wanted to get a good night sleep and go to school tomorrow. But I just can't sleep, I feel sick and blehh. And this idea is slowly corrupting my mind so figured might as well get it down in words before it runs away. It's not a very Anyway. It is late at night and I am very ill so please excuse any utter randomness or bad spelling or grammatical errors. I'll do my best but I can't promise that this will make sense. Also. I AM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. Andslightlyoutofcharacterandprobablydoes'ntmakesen seatsomepoints... Ahem~
On a different note~
Mister Don Johnny Cadet Sir - thanks for the review again! (/^3^)/
Every time someone write a really nice review like that I turn into a marshmallow and then I get the burning inner need to write some more. XD
Idellechi – Mwahaha. I will leave that up to your imagination. :D
Anyway, enjoy~}}
Work diary: day 22
Greetings again headquarters! ^^
Another 'on-time' entry again. I haven't missed any days in a while, maybe I am finally managing to stay on top of this work diary project a little better.
Well today has been a….well it's been an um…..it's been aninterestingday.
Yeah, let's go with "interesting". o.o;
We finally arrived at planet SDIL112. It was a desolate wasteland of snow and ice!
I mean, everywhere you looked it was a blur or blues and whites. Giant mountains of snow loomed in the distance and there was no sign of life anywhere.
It was hauntingly beautiful.
Anyway, the lieutenant lined us all up inside and explained our mission brief.
It sounded so simple, it was just a general scouting mission to search this section of the planet for life forms.
Now, planet SDIL112 is a double section planet. It only makes a complete rotation once every thousand years. So half of the planet is in the sun light, it is very warm and lots of different races of aliens and creatures inhabit it.
The other half of the planet does not get any of the sun's heat, it freezes over entirely.
The population slowly moves around to the other side of the planet over the thousand years as it turns and warms up.
So…underneath all this snow is buildings and parks and forests and beaches…I think?
Anyway.
There have been some rumours going about that an endangered species of alien called the Yettiyobblesaurus (wow, try saying that ten times fast, ahaha ^^;), which are huge white snow beasts, have landed on the snowy side of the planet and made it their home.
Now…no one has a problem with this, as far as I know. But once the planet completes its orbit (which Tororo said is about 300 years more now I think), they may have multiplied into thousands. They are not very intelligent life forms, so it is unlikely they will be willing to move when the sun comes and melts all the snow.
So then the yettiyobblesaurs will die out!
So back to our mission brief.
Our job is to take the few that have landed there, and move them to a different, more suitable planet. ^^
It would seem like an easy enough mission if the temperature outside wasn't so cold.
Garuru told us all to wrap up as warm as possible. Keronjins don't normally wear clothes…well with the exception of our hats, ahaha ^^;
But everyone owns some clothes, just for situations like these.
I have a rather large puffy pink coat and mittens and boots. I can't remember where I acquired them from, I think they might have been a going away gift from my family when I joined the army.
It feels so strange wearing clothes. I don't really feel like a professional army nurse when I'm dressed up in such a ridiculous getup. I don't understand how some species, like pekaponjins, can wear clothes all the time. For goodness sake I felt like a clown. Although I don't regret the choice because it was freezing out there!
I think I would have frozen alive if I hadn't have worn it.
Keronjins are cold blooded, so we can get really cold really easily.
…I never thought about it before but for the Keronjins being such a powerful race of creatures, it's pretty silly that we're so vulnerable to the weather on so many planets.
The others wore coats too.
I had to bite my tongue to not laugh. I know I probably looked pretty funny too, but now I understand why Keronjins don't wear clothes anyway.
I honestly couldn't look the lieutenant in the eyes because I don't think I would have been able to take him seriously dressed like that! XD
Zoruru had to be forced into wearing a coat. He point blank refused to put it on, saying something about assassins not feeling the cold. In the end Garuru ended up shouting at him and making it an order.
He gave in eventually.
Taruru had the funniest coat, I couldn't stop laughing. It was blue and had cute little pictures of fish on it, and he had this silly hat with….
Why am I still talking about clothes?
The mission is the important bit.
I guess I got carried away again.
Anyway.
So we went out in the snow. Garuru made us travel as a group.
Everyone insisted it would be faster and easier if we split up to search, but the leader said there was safety in numbers, and he didn't want any of us to get lost.
Honestly it felt a little patronising, I know he meant well but he doesn't need to act like we're elementary kids on a school trip. =_=
Taruru spent the whole trip trying to cling to Tororo for warmth, who had hidden an entire pizza inside his coat, to keep him warm and for snacking on.
…I'm starting to worry about Tororo's unhealthy diet. I must remember to talk to him about that.
Ah! I'm going off on a tangent again. Sorry. ^^;
I'm pretty sure we wandered around in the snow for hours. It started giving me a migraine, all that white everywhere, it hurt my eyes.
I didn't like the cold either, my feet are still numb.
I feel pretty bad for Zoruru, I'm pretty sure the cold was affecting his machinery or something. He kept randomly stopping for a few moments and we had to wait for him to catch up.
Oh well, I'm sure whatever it is, Tororo can fix it.
So anyway. We wandered, and wandered, and there was nothing anywhere.
I think eventually Tororo and Taruru got bored because we turned around and they were gone.
Typical kids.
You take an eye off them for two seconds and they disappear. =_=
Garuru got so annoyed I thought a vain was going to pop in his head. But he still kept a cool attitude, as normal. He's so sensible and logical about everything. It's so manly…
Ahem~
Um, so as I was saying.
Tororo and Taruru were gone, and we couldn't find them anywhere.
We thought maybe they had started having a snowball fight or something and gotten left behind so we trudged all the way back, but we still couldn't find them.
I admit, I felt pretty panicky at this point. Like…what if they got lost. All alone, slowly freezing to death in the snow? ;w;
It took everything inside me not to cry. The thought of them both dying out there and us never finding them…
I know they're both annoying sometimes.
Tororo can be so rude sometimes, and I still don't forgive him for what he made me and the lieutenant do to get him out of his room yesterday. =~=
And Taruru is just…Taruru. He never stops talking and gives everyone a headache. Not to mention how clumsy he is! Did I tell you about how he got his tongue stuck in a pencil sharpener the other day and…
...wait, I'm straying from the point again.
The point is, even though they're irritating sometimes. They're my teammates.
We eat together, watch movies together, train together, go on missions together.
I just couldn't bear the thought of them being gone forever…
Which is why I got unbelievably annoyed at Zoruru's comment to "Just leave them and go, they're a waste of space anyway".
Ohh the very idea! :(
How cruel.
To be fair, I'm sure he was probably joking. I mean…no one can be that heartless right? …right?
We got back in the ship and started flying over the area to try and find them from above. I must admit, it was a lot easier than trudging through the freezing snow in heavy boots.
After about an hour, I'm glad to say, success! ^^
Garuru was the one who spotted the little orange blob running about in the white snow. We landed the ship close by.
I don't think I have ever been so relieved to see someone in all my life.
I couldn't help but hug the poor tadpole. I guess I got a little carried away. ^^;
He did not look impressed. Hahaha XD
Despite the fact they'd probably be caught dead before showing any affection like I do, I'm pretty sure both Garuru and Zoruru were incredibly relieved too. You could see it by the looks on their faces.
I think if they weren't such hard headed boys with ridiculous male egos, they probably would have hugged Tororo too. ^^;
I was just so happy he wasn't dead.
The drama didn't end there though.
Tororo was all panicked and frantic. He kept telling us we had to follow him because Taruru was in trouble.
All that worry and stress came right back again.
I swear, any more days like this and I'm going to start getting stress wrinkles.
Honestly.
Is this what it's like having children?
Because if so, I don't want any! I thought I was going to have a heart attack when they got lost!
Ahem~
So anyway.
We followed Tororo to this big old ice cave, it was huge and smelled of fish. o.o;
Guess what we found inside?
Yep. The three Yettiyobblesaurs! ^w^
Two males and a female.
They were huge! I mean, I expected them to be big but….wow.
They look like…like….wow I don't even know how to explain.
Kind of like a stegosaurus and a chimpanzee had a baby, and then that baby grew up and had a baby with a killer whale.
…I'm not sure if they were beautiful or terrifying.
So here comes the interesting bit.
Turns out Taruru and Tororo had gotten left behind while having a snowball fight.
They'd tried to make their way back to the ship to wait for us, but apparently Taruru got abducted by the female yettiyobblesaur. Thinking he was her baby.
…Well.
I don't think any of us quite knew how to react to this. o.o;
This huge great big creature had Taruru in her arms and was rocking him like a baby, trying to lull him to sleep while humming a little song.
Taruru looked petrified!
Poor guy. ^^;
I have to admit, it was a pretty funny site though.
You should have seen when she decided to try and
breast feed him. I thought he was going to faint. Ahahahahaha XD
I have never heard anyone scream so much in my life.
I know it seems mean, and wereallyshould have helped him…
But it was just far too funny to watch.
I'm sure even Garuru and Zoruru were discretely in hysterics.
And I have never seen either of them laugh before!
The problem is, that yettiyobblesauruses are very calm, docile creatures, that is, until someone tries to take away their baby.
Every time we tried to remove Taruru, no matter how or what we tried, these huge creatures would just beat us to the ground.
It's not like we could attack them either, they're endangered!
Zoruru wanted to kill them, but Garuru wouldn't let him, he said if we even remotely hurt one of them we might end up losing our jobs.
In the end, we just resorted to rounding them up and bringing them back to the ship. We put them in the containment unit for now. They don't have much room in there, but it's only until we reach the new planet come morning.
Taruru is still with them now. Poor guy.
We couldn't figure out how to get him away from them without causing trouble.
His screams of terror fill the night.
I know he's not in any danger. In fact, he's probably the safest person in the world right now. I don't think that giant mother would let anything bad happen to him. ^^;
I still feel bad though.
We're all sitting out here under blankets, drinking hot cocoa and watching TV.
Everyone thought this was a sensible idea, it's not like anyone could sleep with all that screaming and howling.
Besides, there's nothing better than a nice hot cup of cocoa after a long day out in the snow. Haha ^^;
I think Tororo has fallen asleep at the end of the sofa, despite all the noise. I guess the long day tuckered him out. He is only a tadpole still I guess.
Zoruru refused to take a blanket or some cocoa. He's still muttering on about how assassins don't feel the cold.
Honestly.
Everyone feels the cold. Some people are just so hard headed.
The lieutenant is less stubborn though. He puts logic before pride.
I don't see what's wrong with accepting a blanket and some cocoa.
He looks so tired.
I wonder if he's worried about Taruru out there all by himself?
I know he's a tough, hardened soldier, and a very strict leader.
But I can't help but think there's a caring side inside that hardened shell.
Anyway, I've written plenty enough for today. Sorry if I've bored you all at headquarters. ^^;
I think I'll go and make Taruru some cocoa. I feel really bad for him out there all on his own.
Sincerely Pururu~
