Welcome to the Jungle [Open]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Who: Chuuya (thetaintedsorrow) & you!
What: May catch-all! Featuring adventures in Khalo village and Flona Cove.
When: May!
Where: Various!
Warning(s): Possible NSFW, but it’ll be marked.



I. Chuuya in Wonderland

[After hearing the news that Khalo Village had opened up to visitors for the first time in centuries, Chuuya had decided that it was something he definitely needed to see. Who knows if he’ll ever get another opportunity to explore the place? Visiting new places and experiencing the culture there is always fun, so he might as well go while he can!

Of course that means he’ll have to smoke fyrra, the weed that allows those who aren’t full-blood Khali to enter the village without falling into a deep slumber. It’s pretty much just fancy weed, and Chuuya feels slightly more relaxed after smoking it, but it’s definitely not as good as booze. It does, however, allow him to enter the area around the village, and so he does, not expecting anything to go awry.

So of course he ends up stepping on a large purple mushroom and shrinking down to the size of a thimble. Shit.

Luckily he’s still able to use his gravity manipulating ability, and he’ll climb up the nearest tall tree while waving his arms and shouting in a tiny voice to the first passer-by he sees.]

Oi! Over here! Hey!

II. Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi? [Probably NSFW, Closed to CR]

[Once Chuuya actually reaches the village and obtains the antidote to return him to his normal size he’ll need a break to relax, and what better way to do so than to visit one of the many smoking lounges? According to the locals, regular fyrra is available here, as well a strain that causes “an even higher elevated mood, as well as increased sexual desire and heightened sensation.”

Sounds fun, right? Chuuya already has a head start, lounging on a rather plush looking couch in a black silk robe that resembles a kimono. He seems to be in a good mood.

Care to join him?]

III. Flying High

[Temporary flight potions are readily available in Khalo Village, and Chuuya will excitedly encourage anyone who comes along to drink one so that he can have a flying buddy at long last! Will you take him up on that offer?

Oops, he’s already tugging on your arm!]

C’mon! It’ll be a blast!

IV. Tame the Beast

[The Taming Fields are an area near the village where beasts that the Khali have tamed roam free. Chuuya can’t help but wander over to one of them, a rhinoceros-like creature covered in moss with flowers on its horns (called a Mossley by the Khali), and try his hand at petting it. The creature seems docile and friendly, and it leans into his touch.

According to the locals, Mossleys are drawn to two people with positive emotional bonds, and enjoy laying between them. Will you be one of those people? Or does Chuuya grate on your nerves?

Grinning, he waves over the nearest person to share in the experience.]

Ever seen anything like it?

V. Beach Episode

[When he returns from his excursion to Khalo Village Chuuya will be itching for a trip to the beach, and you can find him on the shore soaking up some sun, in the water swimming around, or enjoying a cocktail in the shade.

However, said cocktail isn’t your run of the mill booze; it’ll turn him into an exact copy of whoever approaches him! How bizarre!

Will you hang out with him on the beach or engage in some silly clone shenanigans?]

Wildcard!

[Have something you wanna plot with me? I’m over at arcanestardust! Don’t be shy!]

Comments

this is going to be a disaster

[colorature]

<sub>[Dressed in a white, ruffled bikini adorned with blue rose, Diva's been making the most of her time on the beach. She's been enjoying herself, not having to bother with sunscreen either, despite her pale complexion. (Having skin that instantly regenerates kind of puts the sun's rays to shame...) She'd been digging in the sand and surf, wondering whether or not to touch a few beached jellyfish she'd spotted earlier, when a glimpse of familiar black hair catches her eye.

In an instant her heart stops as she whips around, only to see, standing there, a mirror image of herself. A copy of herself doesn't make sense, and Diva sees no reason why Saya's hair couldn't have grown while in the stasis pods, and so for all intents and purposes, Chuuya, to her, looks just like her twin. Immediately she launches herself "Saya's" way, arms outstretched as she goes to tackle who she thinks is her sister into the sand.

Sorry about your drink, Chuuya.]</sub>

Saya! Big sisterrrrrrr!

Sure is

[thetaintedsorrow]

[The changes are immediate, and Chuuya hardly has time to let it sink in that he’s just shifted into a clone of Diva before he’s tackled to the ground.]

What the-?!

[Okay, this just too bizarre!! Chuuya squirms underneath Diva, confused as all hell. It doesn’t help that his voice has changed as well.]

I’m not your sister! I’m Chuuya!

[colorature]

_{[Sorry She's not listening right now, she's too busy squeezing you to herself, getting sand everywhere, before forcefully pinning you down, a palm pressing on either shoulder.]}

Huh?

_{[Wait what?]}

Chuuya? You're not Chuuya! Of course you're Saya!

_{[Er...hold up just a moment. Those are blue eyes staring back at her...cue sharp nails digging into shoulders suddenly.]}

Why are your eyes blue like mine? You don't have blue eyes!

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Ouch! Good thing Chuuya can handle pain, because Diva’s nails are indeed sharp. He’s not a fan of being pinned down like this, though, and he doesn’t have Diva’s inhuman strength to back him up.

And of course his ability isn’t working. Wonderful.]

I drank something that turned me into a clone of you. I’m not Saya.

[colorature]

<sub>[The more she looks down at "Saya" the more she realizes it isn't her. There's a sudden rush of disappointment that grips her as she begins to sit up, extracting her nails and hands from Chuuya's shoulder's.

She's sad and it shows on her face, clearly.]</sub>

You really aren't...

[thetaintedsorrow]

Sorry to disappoint.

[Chuuya sits up, brushing some of the sand off of himself. He’s got several new places for it to accumulate, unfortunately...]

You really miss her, huh?

[colorature]

Of course I do...she's my twin.

_{[While Chuuya might be brushing himself off, Diva decides to fall back against the sand, not caring it's more or less getting everywhere. It'll be a bitch to clean out of her hair...but she doesn't care.]}

I don't think she misses me as much though.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Oh. That makes sense.]

Why wouldn’t she miss you?

[Unless she’s a complete goody-goody that doesn’t approve of Diva’s “lifestyle”.]

[colorature]

_{[Bingo. You got it Chuuya.]}

Because she thinks I'm a monster.

_{[The sand is warm between her fingers as she digs into it idly, hands either side of her frame.]}

She got to play pretend and was raised not knowing what she was. I got to grow up in a locked tower. I've done a lot of things to make her cross with me...

[thetaintedsorrow]

There’s always those noble types that think they’re above killing, even when they’d die otherwise. I dunno if it’s admirable or stupid.

[Chuuya picks a bit of sand from between his...ah...bosoms.]

Some people grow up sheltered. I grew up on the streets. Not as bad as being locked in a tower, but I had to fight to survive.

[colorature]

My sister is one of those types. Noble is a good word but she's also pretty foolish.

_{[At least they're nice..at least you're hot, Chuuya.]}

You probably know a lot of things then. I've been alive a long time but I don't know a lot.

[thetaintedsorrow]

I do know a lot of stuff.

[How to fight, how to survive, that kinda thing.]

But you didn’t come to the beach to be sad, right? What did you wanna do before you saw me?

[colorature]

_{[He's right about that. She didn't come here to be sad. She came here to have a good time and enjoy the seaside.]}

What did I want to do? _{[She sits up then, dusting herself off, glancing over toward the shoreline.]}

I wanted to touch the jellies over there.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Jellies?

[Oh, the beached jellyfish on the shore.]

Sure, why not?

[Except jellyfish can totally sting you even if they’re dead, so good luck...

He’ll just waltz on over there and poke the top of one.]

Squishy.

[colorature]

Are they?

_{[She seems suddenly excited by the affirmation that it's as squishy as it looks, and so Diva wastes no time in following in Chuuya's footsteps, squatting down to reach out and poke the top of the beached creature.]}

It is!

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yup.

[Luckily the jellyfish don’t seem to be a threat like this.]

Do you like swimming? Maybe you’ll see more stuff in the water.

[colorature]

I can't swim.

_{[No one's ever really taken her swimming before, and while she probably wouldn't "die" from drowning, it's not exactly something she wants to experience either.]}

I'll sink.

[thetaintedsorrow]

So? I can make you float, if you want. You won’t sink then.

[The blessing of gravity powers.]

Sound like something you wanna try?

[colorature]

You can?

_{[well in that case...why not? No point in letting her new bathing suit go to waste.]}

Well in that case I want to try!

[thetaintedsorrow]

All right. Follow me.

[Despite looking exactly like Diva, Chuuya is still able to use his ability, and he uses a single touch to Diva’s arm to make her entirely weightless. She won’t float away, but she’ll be able to walk on water.]

Try getting in the water now.

[colorature]

_{[It's strange, that he looks just like her, but it's something she can set aside for now as she moves to do as she's told, carefully bringing her feet toward the shoreline. As soon as she places a foot down, expecting it to be submersed, she finds herself balancing atop the water's surface. Don't mind her as she loses her shit.]}

Uwah?!

[thetaintedsorrow]

Pretty cool, yeah?

[His ability is the hypest shit, okay? He’s delighted by her reaction.]

Not even Chiropterans can walk on water, huh?

[colorature]

Nope! We sink!

_{[Unless they're taught how to swim, that is.]}

It's really wonderful! You're amazing!
