There was movement all around the manikin, but overall, the lives seemed to be moving away. It lifted itself off the ground properly this time, and eased itself back on it's two feet. This was still the most optimal way to move, it figured. The green life was still in front of it, as were several others. It seemed they were mostly moving in a similar direction... It noticed that the moving lives had a common shape, besides one, which seemed to be an algamation of 3 lives into a strange shape. That common shape... It examined itself the best it could with no senses. The manikin itself had a life too, it saw. In addition, it was the same shape as the others. It didn't quite understand what a coincidence was, but if it did, it would have affirmed this wasn't one. Similar life shapes, the manikin decided, were top priority to examine. Doing so would probably reveal the secrets behind it's own shape. Certainly, it liked comprehending different objects, but it disired to know itself above all else. It began shuffling forward, but stopped. This was how it had come in contact with the ground a moment ago. It awkwardly decided it would avoid the bumps in the ground by lifting it's leg higher when stepping forward. It raised it's leg into the air at a unusually high angle, and essentially axe kicked the ground slightly ahead. That step, It realized, was too high, and did not send it's leg nearly as far as it's shuffling. It tried again, a little lower. Progress didn't seem fast, but it was quickly learning how to walk efficiently. It had moved about three feet forward.
