Massaging my Marimo

I would like to state that Quail's absence from the blog is greatly regretted, but I hope that those of you out there will understand that there are times when work must be put over pleasure. We should all admire Quail for her amazing willpower to keep her wings off the "new-post" section of this site in order to secure her future. My hat goes off to my flailing friend.

Courtesies aside, it is time for some content.

Thanks to the Drawing Duck (yes, lame), Hawk is the proud owner of two Marimo balls.

They are SOOO CUUUTE.

For those who don't know, Marimo balls are a type of Japanese moss. They're..well..balls of moss that live at the bottom of lakes. They grow larger and large over time, maintaining their cute roundness. Happily, they grow slowly, so the fishbowl that Hawk has hers in will serve well as a habitat for quite a while.

Hawk will have to swirl the water once in a while to simulate an environment of moving water. Additionally, she will massage the Marimos weekly to remove any contaminants. Water change is, of course, a necessity.

Currently, one has been named Zoro after the green-haired swordsman from One Piece.
Readers, this is your chance to interact! Suggest names for the second marimo, who is sad and nameless at the moment.
