Whooosh.
Swish...swisshhhhh...
Glub.
Swooooshhh!
Whishhh...whisshhhh
Shhhh...

I snuggle into the comfort. It's almost as if it completely surrounds me, enveloping me in a warm cocoon of relaxation. Ahhh...the life. I can even hear the ocean...
Wait. Just a moment.
Ocean?
Oh nooo no no no no NO. I am not there, I am not here, I'm anywhere else but where my mind says I'll be...I crack open an eyelid.
Nope. Still here, it seems.
With a groan and a grumpy kick, I upset Rampage and the strangely woven blankets all at once. I give the bubble on my head an experimental knock, feeling somewhat light and airheaded. Floating up with a small, graceful kick, I twirl up to see what my fellow LOer's are up to.
Ha ha, summersaulted and crashed into them, more like.
"Snow..." Fae groans.
"Someone's not happy to see me. " :C
"Don't worry, the rest of us are," Adri nods vigorously. A suspiscious sounding chorus of snorts come from Sar and Yunsi, but she ignores them. "We're trying to come up with a plan to get away from these...cretins." >.>
"The horrifying sugar monkeys," Sar chimes. =o
"The starfishes of blasphemous cheerios," Yunsi adds. o.o
"The terror of the dark oreos and all things that drip and echo!" YYugi cries out. >.< All of us are getting worked up, it seems.
"The creepers of the sea of whipped cream!" Chibi-bunni fumes. D<
"The unjust monsters of all the corners of the tootsie roll!" Nerfe shrieks. @.@
"The lightning devils that slaughter jello!" Des raves. >.o
"The anti-sushi regime," I deadpan. x.x
Aye, the anti-sushi regime. At least, that's what Yunsi called them, so that's what we say. They live in a world that revolves around food and solely food. Their laundry poles are made of bones from gigantic fish that they've eaten over the course of two decades. Their ink is made of the ink from a squid that they guzzled three dinners ago. Their roof shingles are crafted of every last fish scale so that their houses hold more scales in the ocean than the fishes in every sea do.
And they, themselves, are walking and talking grains of rice. -_-;;
They claim that they were thrown into the ocean by their blessed ancestors after being saved from a horrifying sushi experience. One would think that they would refuse to eat any other creature until they eventually shriveled up and died. Or absorbed too much water and blew up from osmosis. However, they are dead set upon eating the whole world so that nothing again is ever used for sushi. In fact, they've set up a club of 55 grains of white rice, 89 grains of brown rice, and two stalks of grain that are hoping to save the rice population.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Hee hee!" I double up in laughter, remembering their solemn declaration. They're so dumb. xDDDDD
Ouch. Dx Those grains of rice have sharp heads.
"Come follow us, oh-finless-ones." Two little grains float at eye level, and we peer at them curiously. They bob along, and we trail after, discussing our situation.
"How do we get out of this stupid ordeal?"
"Do you want to?"
"My IQ's failing, at any rate."
"What IQ? Haw haw!"
"Shuddup. Someone enlighten me as to why we can't get out, anyway."
"We told you already, dummy. These bubbles on our heads pop everytime we get pass the pressure point."
"Stupid pressure points and stupid grains of rice--OWwwwiiieee!"
"Shaddup. We're on the road," the grain of rice glares. Ooh, look, it's eyes are turning a very beautiful scarlet...
"Wot road?" I ask.
Oops, heh. I think it blew up...it's floating away...
"My brother!" the other one wails.
We watch the drama unfold before us. As the lonely little white speck floats away with the current, the other chases after it, the flow of the water like lonely howling around us. One cries feebly, "help, help!" and its beloved brother attempts with all of its might to find that last energy to grab a hold of its last remnant of family before all fades away...
"Ooooh~ Food." One says.
"Where?"
"THE ANTI-SUSHI REGIME!!! YAH!!!"
And thus, they disappear.
"Geez, you think they forgot about us?"
We really must look odd, floating around with bubbles on our heads. However, with no guide, we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere.
Literally.
This rice kingdom really is rather big. I think that maybe if I squint, I can see something...
"CANDY!!!!"
"Marshmallows and cream and lollipops, oh my!" someone swoons.
The kingdom sparkles before us, and slowly, like an entranced school of fish, we advance. I'm rather certain that, had the candy held feelings, they would have quivered from the hungry look in our eyes.
"You first," someone nudges. >.>
"No, you." <.<
"Why don't you go right on ahead?"
We stare for a while at the cottage two centimeters from our noses. Then, a hand braves out to touch the sparkling candied ginger hanging from the window...
"WHO DARES TRESPASS ON THIS PROPERTY?!?"

Author's Notes:
I used yunsi's idea. C: Does it seem like I'm only using hers? =o Oops. Must find a way to incorporate everyone's next time. ^^; Sorry.
I hope my creativeness worked its way into this one as well. Leave behind a comment, and make suggestions! xDDD
