Wow, she's peppy.

Tick...tock...tick...tock

Keirro glared up at the clock. It had been a long day. Np patients, no rain for her garden, and no one to take her out to dinner tonight. The onlything eventful that happened was the package that arrived earlier that afternoon.

I can make your dreams come true

Like one man could ever achieve that. Still, the letter that was recieved with the package taunted her. It's words were challenging her to take the orb. It wanted her to admire its glow.

I have a gift for you. A very generous gift. It will grant you your heart's desire.

Keirro smiled cynically as she picked up the orb from its box. What would a silly crystal know about granting wishes? She placed the orb on a stand and walked to the kitchen to grab a snack. As she cooly walked away from the orb, she heard a clank. She quickly turned around to see that the orb was rolling to her feet.
Keirro sighed and placed the orb back onto the pedestal. She walked away again, only to find that the orb had once again rolled off of its pedestal. Keirro sigh and scooped up the orb to accompany her to the kitchen.

Keirro had brought the orange orb, known as Apollo, to a local park. The idea of carrying a virtual paperwieght embarssed her, but she somehow felt compelled to take it out on a morning stroll.

"What am I to do with this? " she growled to herself as she sat on a park bench. THe orb glowed proudly, as if to say that it appreciated being outside the confines of Keirro's office. Keirro's steely eyes glared out to the horizon. Why was it always so damn cheery in the morning?



Keirro noticed a another, more spritely, young woman carrying a brightly colored orb. Keirro watched the girl frolic like a pony in a meadow. Keirro sighed, knowing that she could never feel that good about mornings as that young woman obviously did.

The orb known as Apollo glowed brightly. Its excitement was easy to read.



Keirro wanted to jump out of her skin when the strange girl ran up to her. Keirro restrained herself, however, and regained her composure. Her eyes scanned the stranger with the intent of finding any dangerous weapons that this person might wish to brandish against Keirro. Keirro did notice a right, glowing orb similar to her own.
"A paper weight enthusiast, I see. " Keirro said as she raised an eyebrow cooly.


"Oh, orb. Forgive me for sounding a little ignorant. It seems that orbs are the new fashion acessory these days. " Keirro said. She made no attempt to smile or even blink. She gave a cold, indifferent stare that she usually used on her patients when she was hired for the session.
The orb Keirro was keeping hidden suddenly made itself known. It rolled out into sight; its bright, orange glow pulsed with a beat that seemed as upbeat as the girl that Keirro was talking to.



The crystal seemed to realish the attention it was recieving and pulsed even more obnoxious shades of orange, pink and yellow.
"It is a funny toy. I find it amazing what technology can produce. I shall find this crystal useful for when my patients come to visit." said Keirro. Christ, that girl had named hers? Some people become too attached to material items these days. The girl probably had a mother complex. Typical case of giving the care one was denied in hopes that the object will love b- Oh god, why am I psychoanalyzing NOW? Christ I need to get out of my office. Keirro turned to the rising sun.
"Yours look different." Keirro said in an attempt to get her mind off of psychology.



"Keirro Fisher, PhD. Do you know of others that have these?" Keirro asked as she raised an inquisitive eyebrow. She crandled the feisty, orange crystal in her arms either to seek comfort or keep it from fraternizing with the other orb, she wasn't sure.



Keirro stood up and eyed the girl. Wasn't there a situation on Gaia involving invaders and an annoying man with a large jawline? Perhaps this paranoia had some merit.
"If they are, we can manipulate the creatures to our will. Intelligent beings must develop as we must." replied Keirro. She looked at the horizon. The pinks and oranges were starting to settle into the lue sky of daylight. Even Keirro's crystal was starting to become less flamboyant.



"If you prefer that. I wouldn't become too attached, least these things should lack a conscience. I should take my leave. Around this time, I usually start to tend to my garden." said Keirro. she gave a casual wave to the jittery girl and reached into her pocket.
"Should you require my services, here is my business card." she said as she handed a card to Aurora.

Don't Throw the Orb out with the bath water!

Keirro had been looking at the orb discreetly. It seemed a little less brighter these days. Keirro picked the orb with her delicate fingers and looked over it while balancing the orb on her fingertips.
"You're filthy." she said.
The orb glowed even dimmer.
"I'll clean you up." Keirro replied. The orb glowed a little brighter. Now, how to clean this thing. Windex and a cloth would probably scratch the surface. Keirro remembered back to when her mother was cleaning fine crystal.
She used warm water and a fine cloth. Keirro thought to herself. She walked over to the kitchen with the orb in her arms and started to run warm water in the sink. She grabbed a clean, soft towel and placed the orb comfortably into the warm water.
It floated.
Keirro stared, dumbfounded, at the sight of a seemingly solid orb floating in bathwater. She had witnessed some strange sights before, but certainly this could be explained with some rationale. After all, this was a toy prototype and was probably made with a new material designed to look like glass. The orb glowed happily, turning a water orange-yelloe with its soft glow.
Keirro sighed and started to wipe the wet orb clean with a soft rag. Soon, the orb looked good as new and started to glow in obnoxious beats again.
It jumped out of her sink and rolled to the towel to get dry.
Keirro scooped up the towel with the orb in it and proceeded to dry it gently as she sat down on her couch and relaxed.

Sooo....Whatcha Doin'?

Apollo had the attention span and intelligence of a jaybird. She was rather harmless, but she often got into mischief when boredom started to seep in.
It was a sunny day, and Apollo found her current settings less than desirable. The orange Neko crept throughout the livingroom, where she found Keirro hunched over her work.
The neko peered quietly over Keirro's shoulder to watch the psychologist write an invigorating summary about the cerebellum, whatever that was. Apollo flicked an ear and decided that the best course of action was to do what a cat would normally do when its master was hard at work.
Apollo streched and crawled onto Keirro's desk.
Keirro had been ignorant of Apollo's transformation from Orb into Undera up until this point. The psychologist screamed at the top of her lungs and fell over in her chair.
Apollo screamed in unison. Hey, this was kinda entertaining! Apollo then proceeded to flail her arms around as Keirro brought out a water spritzer and started to spray Apollo with the water.
"Ahhh! Crazy lady!" Apollo screamed.
"Bad Kitty! Down! Down!" screamed Keirro.
Apollo leaped off of the desk and dashed behind the couch.
"Who are you?" screamed Keirro.
"Who am I? You're the one sparying me with the water bottle! Explain yourself!" snapped Apollo.
"You're going to get spritzed again if you don't tell me why you're here!" growled Keirro.
"You don't reconize me?" replied Apollo.
"Can't say I do." said Keirro.
"I'm the orb, lady!" said Apollo as she held her former prison. It lost it's former glow, but retained its beautiful coloring.
"I was wondering what happened to it. " replied Keirro.
