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!]

Chuuya in Wonderland...

[meinwaifu]

Oh? What was that?

[Guess who Chuuya happened to run into? That's right, it's Mephisto... wearing a face mask for some reason. Does he have a cold??]

[He definitely hears Chuuya, and hell, he probably saw what happened too. But this is much funnier.]

My, I thought I heard a little voice taking! Was it just the wind, I wonder?

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!

II. #thirst tbh

[steponme]

[Khalo village was a pretty interesting change of pace from everything he's seen so far on Nysa. While it was certainly hot and humid like Wyver, the lack of strong sunlight from the heavy cover of trees overhead kept it from being too uncomfortable for him. Of course, he knew he couldn't stay here too long... there wasn't exactly a means of carrying a supply of blood through the hot forest, and he couldn't count on the possibility that they might have a means of him acquiring some here. Especially when it only takes a quick glance to tell that no one native to this village is human.]

[He doesn't have nay particular destination in mind as he walks through some of the fancy smoking lounges on the ground level, though he does notice a certain mood in the air here. It was pleasant, and made him want to linger a little longer... which is the only reason he catches Chuuya laying back on the couch in a robe. Without much fanfare, he makes his way over and casually takes a seat beside him. In comparison, Shell is far more dressed -- though lacking his usual outer coat and corset.]

Well, you look pretty relaxed.

[notwagging]

[ oh! he sees Chuuya swimming around in the water, and Keaton's tail immediately perks up upon seeing a friendly face? or at least, a friendly body--- and he so desperately wants to join him out there?

but there's... a problem.

it's water.

so instead, Keaton will just watch and wave when he's noticed. ]

[eaudevamp]

[ Reign had thought the only few ways to fly was either by riding a pegasus or dragon, or perhaps on one of those mecha machine. Not unless they had Chuuya nearby to give you a bit of a lift.

Colour Reign surprise when he found out that Khalo Village had one of those flight potions, and of course he wasn't going to let his opportunity go to waste. So when Chuuya tugged on his arm, Reign readily agreed with a wide smile on his face. ]

Did you see them fly? [ He pointed at a clutch of visitors who took off after drinking the potion. ] How cool is that?

IV then! progressing into whatever

[gekkajuu]

[All things considered, it's no surprise that the Mossley comes closer: Chuuya and Atsushi have been getting along very well, after all... and intimately, too. But that doesn't make Atsushi any less impressed.]

It's beautiful!

[... By some definitions of the term, anyway. As Atsushi moves closer to Chuuya, the Mossley nudges his flower-horned nose between them, and Atsushi can't help but giggle laugh.]

And kind of adorable~

[insist]

[ So, there's someone who looks exactly like Rohan, just hanging out on a bench. That's not something you see every day. To begin with, it's not easy to look like Rohan - not with his ... unique taste in fashion and hairstyle. This is something he definitely must investigate. So, he goes over to his doppelganger and does the most sensible thing to do in this particular situation - pinch them hardly on the nose, to see if they are real. Rohan 2.0 could just be an illusion, after all. ]

I. Chuuya in Wonderland

[cassus]

[ While luminous and invitingly colorful, the sizable fungi reef acting as protective barrier around the whole of Khalo's village is apparently not all it seems. Dazai is fortunate that he religiously does his research before placing himself in any situation, paying close attention to the rumors and guidance of Wyver locals who care to spill stories or the occasional legend about Khalo's many mysteries.

Considering that the place has likely harbored all manner of both wonder and horror ( including the carnivorous flora he's spotted, munching on unlucky natives ) for as long as it's existed, it's no wonder that Dazai is given forewarning enough to at least be cautious. His step is light when entering the perimeter, unhurried as he picks his way through small pathways free of anything that may either be alive or home to something that is. A fallen tree is a sufficient bridge to coast through the sea of neon fungus, which he certainly has no plans to abandon.

This much is written in stone, at least until a familiar but miniaturized voice breaks his focus. Dazai doesn't need to hear it twice to know, deep down within the very marrow of his bones, that it's one that could only ever belong to Chuuya himself. True, there exists the chance of something pulling that familiar lit and depth of a telltale voice, belonging to someone important, straight from his memories in order to lure him into the jaws of danger.

So it speaks volumes that he heeds Chuuya's cries without second-thoughts or hesitation, regardless of the possibility his attachments are being used against him. The tree trunk kept beneath feet as his passageway to safety is abandoned, but held within his periphery as Dazai picks a footpath through the mushroom maze, guided only by Chuuya's voice. ]

Either the mice here have learned the art of imitation, or someone's improved your voice by leaps and bounds.

[ Dazai's gaze holds aloft, searching the surrounding woodlands for the stature of someone he could recognize if nearly blinded. And yet Chuuya's familiar form never appears where he expects it to. Instead the flailing limbs, miniaturized with a teeny-tiny voice, catch his attention enough for Dazai to glance Chuuya's way. ]

And here I thought you couldn't get any smaller!

[ Realization dawns instantly, making sense of the squeakiness of a little voice which typically commands in it's sultry depth. Chuuya's shrunken size is clearly a result of something in the forest, which Dazai is just as likely to befall if he's not careful. All the more reason to be cautious as he ensures his feet are firmly on solid ground, with soil and grass but nothing more beneath them, when he steps closer. ]

I like your cute new look, Chuuya. [ A soft chuckle, trying to lighten the potentially dire situation's mood. ] I must say, It's your best self-improvement to date.

[ No matter what Dazai says, or perhaps only because he can mask away the offer behind ridiculous taunts, a hand extends directly beneath Chuuya's tiny feet. Dazai won't touch him, for fear of deactivating his partner's ability, and risking sending Chuuya tumbling free from his perch. Better for Chuuya to take the step down himself, with full knowledge that he'll be without his powers once it's done. The fewer surprises the better, when he may need a microscope if Chuuya takes a dive and shrinks even smaller. ]
