Die, Kibbie. (That's your new nickname, Ravii. And we all know why... Well, just me. XD)
Fine, Speckie. That's perfectly fine.
(I suck at titles. Help? *is imploring*)
It was cooling down rapidly, cutting off the sap from the leaves. Every few moments, a gilt or crimson leaf would separate from its mother tree and drift to the ground, as was perfectly natural in leaf-fall. One such leaf, a maple, was going through its maiden voyage, its dull underbelly and sleek top showing alternately, giving the illusion that it was spinning. Actually, it was spinning, so it wasn't an illusion, but it helped to prove the state of dizziness.
A gentle breeze was drifting around, whispering through the leaves remaining on the trees, tossing the dried, crinkly leaves that had fallen. It was a noisy time of year, for sure, but noisy in the soft and tender nature way, not the putridly harsh Twoleg way. It was a good time to be a leaf.
The previously mentioned leaf was riding on a cushion of wind, swept through the forest on a breathy palanquin. All of a sudden, the "chair" was ripped. Swiftly moving air filled the rips and mended the kingly lounge, but not before the golden leaf slipped through the cracks and fell to the mercy of whatever beast had damaged its transport.
A little scrap of ginger, hardly bigger than the huge, five-lobed leaf, growled at it playfully and swatted at it with tiny, needled paws. Shreds of scarlet flew through the air, demolishing all structure the leaf could call its own. Thankfully, the little furry creature was having fun, or it would have been a sinful waste of chlorophyll.
(Good 'nough? XD
But what I stink at isn't starter posts. I'm great at those [not to brag or anything]. It's the in-between posts, the main body of a thread, that I'm horrible at. If you could, perhaps, give me a starter post or something and tell me what to come in with, perhaps that would be the best thing teaching-wise? Not to teach your class or anything. XD)
