Warning(s): None yet, but NSFW will be marked if it happens



I. Bird is the Word

[To all those familiar with Chuuya, the news of the mystery egg he’d magically acquired finally hatching isn’t surprising, nor is the news that it’s a bird. However, what they may not know is that Apollo (a name carefully chosen for his precious child) has grown into something quite flashy in the past month. A royal flycatcher, to be precise, with beautiful plumage to rival any peacock. It’s quite fitting that Apollo is tiny and beautiful, considering who his mother is, but don’t tell Chuuya that.

He’s quite an energetic little thing, and Chuuya can be found out and about in town with the little guy perched on top of his hat, or in the mansion with Apollo perched on his shoulder.

Should anyone get close (within five feet) of Chuuya, they’ll find themselves with a faceful of feathers and an earful of chirps as Apollo checks them out, up close and personal. Of course Chuuya is amused.]

Looks like he likes you.

II. Shots, Shots, Shots

[Chuuya can also be found, sans Apollo, in one of the multitude of bars located around town. He’s currently nursing a glass of fireball whiskey, but anyone who approaches him for either company or simply to harass him will be abruptly challenged to a drinking contest. God bless your soul if you take him up on it.

Should they decline he’ll simply shrug and continue sipping at the amber liquid in his glass.

Either way, they’ll receive this greeting: ]

You here for booze or company?

III. Among the Stars

[Lastly, Chuuya will make a trip to Thesa Station to see all the newly awakened refugees. He can be found checking out the stasis pods, hanging around in one of the lounge areas, or simply indulging in a glass of wine at the mess hall.

He’ll have Apollo on his shoulder, but don’t be afraid. He won’t peck your eyes out. Chuuya may very well try it though, if you see fit to call him tiny. Otherwise he’ll be friendly enough, no matter where he’s approached on the station.]

How’s it going?

IV. Wildcard!

[Surprise me! Or plot things with me! I’m over at arcanestardust!]

Comments

[colorature]

Why not? _[Pout.] If you don't tell me I'll just ask Atsushi.

_{[That pout soon turns into more of a frown as she...more or less finishes off her apple (core and all), only to set her hands on both of her hips.]}

I've no reason to lie. I don't appreciate being accused of being a liar either.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Go ahead.

[That sounds hilarious, actually. Flustering Atsushi is always a fun time.

Damn, this girl is hardcore if she’s munching through apple cores. Chuuya simply shrugs, no longer quite as riled up. It’s like three a.m. after all.]

I’m just saying. As long as I live here I’m not letting anyone in this house get hurt again.

[He’s watching you, Diva.]

[colorature]

Fine, I will.

_{[Her hands move from her hips so she can cross them over her chest instead.]}

If you don't want people living here to get hurt, maybe you should tell them to care about getting hurt in the first place.

[thetaintedsorrow]

...what do you mean?

[This conversation has taken a turn that Chuuya isn’t exactly liking, but he’d rather know the truth.]

[colorature]

When I first met Atsushi I told him I could kill him, I could rip his heart right out of his chest and he'd be dead. He said he didn't care. It's not healthy for a human to not be afraid for their life. He should care more about whether he lives or dies and not offer himself up to people without thinking.

_{[Because her encounter with Atsushi could've gone terribly bad for the tiger boy, if she hadn't found him as interesting as she had.]}

[thetaintedsorrow]

...I see.

[Atsushi had seemed rather hopeless and full of despair when he’d crawled into bed with Chuuya the other night, but Chuuya hadn’t even realized the extent of just how terrible he was feeling. It makes his gut churn and his heart sink, and he hides his expression behind the brim of his hat.]

You’re right. He should care. Suicide is fucking selfish. What about the people you leave behind?

[D A Z A I. Just sayin’.]

At least you didn’t kill him.

[colorature]

Suicide is stupid. Humans don't live forever, not like I will, so why waste what time you've got?

_{[It's always struck her as pointless.]}

I didn't kill him because he's interesting...and fuzzy. I like him. The first time I met him we slept together and it was nice. He's very warm and fell asleep right away after I sung to him! Then he made me breakfast.

_{[Yeah...that sleep together comment is more and more sounding like actual sleep and not something lewd isn't it...]}

[thetaintedsorrow]

Sure is.

[Chuuya raises an eyebrow.]

Fuzzy? You got to see him transform?

[Chuuya saw Atsushi transform his limbs to take out some bandits, but he didn’t get a chance to touch them.

Ah. So that’s what Diva meant by sleeping together. That’s kind of cute, honestly.]

He is pretty warm. And nice to sleep with.

[colorature]

Mhmm! I told him he didn't smell like a normal human and he showed me his arm. I pet it a lot. It was neat.

_{[Probably a bit too much petting on her end, to be honest.]}

He is. He didn't even mind that I drooled all over him!

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Now Chuuya kind of wants to pet it too.

Chuuya crosses his arms, finally coming to terms with this...new addition.]

Well. This is his house, so. If he’s fine with you coming here then I can’t stop you.

[There’s an unspoken “but if you hurt him you’ll regret it” in there somewhere.]

So you can eat human food and drink blood?

[colorature]

<sub>[He's fuzzy. Go for it.

The unspoken threat goes right over her head. Sorry Chuuya. You're just not threatening to her.]</sub>

I can. Is that strange to you?

[thetaintedsorrow]

The vampires I’ve met so far only drink blood, so kind of. Guess you’re a different kind of vampire.

[Reign and Shell are the only vampires he’s met so far, but he can’t help drawing the comparison.]

I don’t think they live forever like you, either.

[colorature]

Well, I am. I'm a Chiropteran.

_{[Again, not that that means much to Chuuya.]}

Which vampires are you talking about?

[thetaintedsorrow]

Reign and Shell.

[Chuuya doesn’t get that he might be upsetting Diva by revealing this news.]

Reign told me he’s not immortal like the vampires in legends.

[colorature]

Huh?

_{[There's a sudden look of shock that begins to take over her pretty features. For someone who was so confident and careless a moment ago, she seems pretty concerned now. Uh oh.]}

What do you mean Reign's not immortal? He's supposed to be my bridegroom! He's supposed to be with me forever!

[thetaintedsorrow]

Bridegroom?

[Okay, now it’s Chuuya’s turn to be confused.]

What do you mean?

[colorature]

He's supposed to have a baby with me!

_{[Uh, yeah....yikes. This is probably not where Chuuya was expecting this conversation to go.]}

This isn't fair!

[thetaintedsorrow]

What???

[There’s only so many ways a person can interpret that.]

Did he agree to this??

[colorature]

Yes!

_{[Ah...incoming tantrum...there's a stomp against the tiled floor of the kitchen as she bawls her little hands into fists. There's a flurry of various emotions hitting her right now and none of them are pleasant.]}

I thought he was like me...but you're saying he'll die?! What sort of vampire doesn't live forever?!

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Ohhhhg boy. A temper tantrum by this girl will certainly spell disaster...]

I don’t know for sure. You’d have to ask him yourself.

[Diva pls don’t destroy Atsushi’s house.]

[colorature]

I will. He's going to regret it. How dare he promise he'd always come when I call.

_{[Can't really do that if you're dead now, can you?]}

[thetaintedsorrow]

...you’re not going to kill him, are you?

[Because he doesn’t want Reign to die.]

Because that’s counterproductive to what you want.

[colorature]

_{[In all honesty...she's not sure what she wants to do to him. Whatever she decides though won't be pleasant.]}

I won't kill him.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Right.

[He’s not convinced, but he’d rather not piss Diva off any further right now and end up in a bloodbath.]

So you’re having a baby with Reign? Why?

[colorature]

Solomon wants a baby. I promised I'd give him one.

_{[Yeah...none of this probably makes any sense to Chuuya. Sorry buddy.]}

Reign agreed he'd help me make one.
