A small blob-shaped creature came flying through the mist to the South.

It was actually swearing quite a lot as it flew through the air, but seeing as it couldn't talk out loud, nobody actually heard.

The creature hit the ground with a plop and rolled quite a way before coming to rest again the edge of a building. At first sight the landing looked quite gory, but in fact the creature had a short hose for a nose and had leaked a bit of red paint from it.

"Schlork..." it declared despondently.

[Three more Hosefaces arrive from the Map Room: Strange Salvage]

Some considerable time later, Royal Hose, Peach Hose and Aquamarine Hose arrived on the scene and located the spatter of red paint. Red Hose was long gone by this time, so they began to search for him.

If they had the sense to use their communication coils it might all have been quite straightforward, but unfortunately they chose the alternate option of wandering off and getting hopelessly lost in Alcos.

A strange high pitched squealing noise sounded from behind Aquamarine Hose. At first hearing, it sounded like some sort of alarm; but it soon became evidence that it was, in fact, a young girl.

"Pretty!" she burbled, eying the hose. It was difficult to eye people quite like the children of Alcos, given the enormous size of said eyes. She reached down, and grasped the hose with a pudgy hand.

Aquamarine hose had never seen a little girl before. It had never been picked up before either. In fact, its entire life had been less than a day long and it didn't know much about anything.

As it turned out, it quite liked being picked up and admired.

The trouble was, it didn't really know how to respond. After a brief period of confusion, it decided to fall back on what it knew best and paint the girl's front in aquamarine.

A small, white-haired man moved hurredly yet gracefully down the street. Barely noticing the hoses' predicament, he darted southward and passed through the fog.

The girl giggled, and stroked the hose.

"You're called... Pretty Blue!" she decided.

At this point, a pair of large legs appeared, presumably atached to a woman whose upper half was not visible to those on the ground.

"Hannah! What have you done to your lovely new dress?.... Come on, we're going to have to get you cleaned up quickly, or else we'll be late for the party." She didn't seem to notice Hannah's new hose as she dragged the two away.
