Pine Bluffs

	Amidst the trees and foliage of freshly scented pine, any traces of sky
slowly dissolve underneath a deciduous canopy. In great girthed fashion, the
great stout redwoods claw for space, figthing twig and branch with its nearest
neighbor, competetor, or passerby. Birds chirp and bounce at any disturbance,
knocking thin needles to the forest floor. Almost imperceptibly, the lush
ground slopes as it scrambles up the Mountain, tilting the land slightly askew
in its frenetic dash.

Obvious exits:
 South <S> leads to Base of Mountain.
 Northeast <NE> leads to Mountain Path.
 Up <U> leads to Sky Above Grid Alpha.

Foxtrax arrives from the Mountain Path.
Foxtrax pads in, looking around curiously.

Foxtrax pads along quietly, humming to himself.

Foxtrax
In front of you is thin red fox, somewhat larger than a large canine. The main
color of his fur coat is deep reddish, and his secondary coat color, which
covers his muzzle down to his stomach, and the tip of his long bushy tail is a
greyish white. His fur turns a black color on his paws and ear tips.

Argen gazes down from her tree branch. "Hello," she says at last.

Foxtrax looks up at the tree, and smiles. "Oh, hey... um, how did you get up
there?"

Argen states, "I climbed. Gray Foxes do that."

Foxtrax blinks. "Um, but foxes.... um.. oh. Nevermind then. Sorry, didn't
know. I'm used to just staying on the ground."

Argen sounds somewhat smug. "Of course. Red Foxes do not climb."

Foxtrax nods. "Of course I know that. You don't see me climbing, now do you?"

Argen says, "Certainly not."

Foxtrax looks up. "So, what is a gray fox like yourself, just hanging around
for?" Foxtrax tries not to chuckle at the pun.

Argen says, "I am, as I told Impulse earlier, observing."

Foxtrax nods. "Ah, Impulse. Yeah, he seems to get around, doesn't he. So,
whats to observe, way up here, in the middle of no where?"

Argen supresses a smile. "Ants, for one."

Foxtrax blinks? "Ants? As in Predacons, or as in the real ones?"

Argen says dryly, "As in the real ones."

Foxtrax nods. "Um... just wondering, why?"

Argen responds, "Why not?"

Foxtrax shrugs. "Because you can't eat them? Personally, I like to watch fish,
because you can eat those."

Argen comments, "If I am watching something edible, I concentrate on catching
it, not merely observing."

Foxtrax nods. "I didn't say I was watching it, not to eat it."

Argen notes, "True enough."

Foxtrax nods. "Well, I should probably let you get back to your ants then. I
was just taking a walk."

Argen says, "If you wish."

Foxtrax smiles. "Well, I could stay, but then if any more foxes show up, it
might seem a bit like we're trying to compete with the coyotes... or
something."

Argen raises an eyebrow-ridge, although the gesture is hidden by pine needles.
"Indeed?"

Foxtrax chuckles. "Ah, come on, its not like we could compete with them. There
are just so many of them. But, I guess we have one advantage they don't."

Argen says, "Which is?"

Foxtrax smiles. "We have better fur coats. But, I could be mistaken. I'm not
saying they have bad fur coats... Bah, I talk to much some times."

Argen says, "I'm certain our fur coats are much better."

Foxtrax nods. "Yeah. I think if we had any more foxes around, the coyotes
might think its a conspiracy or something. Not like us foxes seem to hang out
much with each other. Guess it has something to do with our programming or
something..."

Argen says, "Perhaps. We are solitary."
