The Day of Thunder

The little nezumi is offering to help heal people in the camp once again. She pauses her chirping to wave at...

Her ears go up in some dim recognition of change.

She has an extremely pleasant dream of her many children and becoming a great Shaman, eventually joining the Transcendants in yume-do. Everything is awesome. There's something missing, though. Chuchu puts the dream on pause to pick at the nagging feeling. What is it? Is this what she really wants? ...

Akutou produces the jar of pickles, holding it ready to give.

Presumably, one or another of those present and above him will tell him when he should give it over.

Chuchu raises her hands for the jar!

Chuchu dozes in the Imperial's arms, ears and tail twitching every so often. She'd done everything she could. The dream that started her journey here returns to her now. Her hand in a human's hand, swinging lightly as they walk together. She recognizes his face this time -- and the shaman squeezes. ...

afk bestie time, back in a few hours to reply to messages and suchly

He bowed. "I accept this path, and I'm honored by the company fate has granted me." This isn't because you're special, it's because this has to get done. Don't get a big head. With purpose, the Daughter of Ten Thousand Dreams walks to meet the last of the Thunders. She stops before the Scorpion. Da...

The shaman now walks to Otaku. The Ki-Rin gets a tiny hug on the leg as Chuchu whispers out the blessing. " I do not know your Name, but I bless it. May your Name be as incorruptible one of the People's Names. " Her forehead rests against Otaku. " It is in your people's nature to Dream, but they can...

She simply bowed her head. Chuchu goes to Nao, gazing up at the girl who's so like her and so unlike her. She offers her handpaws to the Bat. " To simply know something is not enough. One must also have wisdom to use that which they have learned in the service of others. " Her tail wags a little as...

Chuchu toddles her way on over to Kenji and shyly holds out her hands for him to take. She knows this one -- has helped him once already. Maybe she can help him again. " I do not understand honor," The nezumi child starts her blessing honestly; the strange human word tastes funny in her mouth. " But...

He glanced back to his...brother. A warm smile spread across his face. "Brother..." he was heavy with a mix of emotions, but he focused on the positive ones. "I am sure my children are looking forward to meeting their uncle." Chuchu pauses, looking between the two as their eyes meet. Her tail goes ...

He would make sure she survives. The nezumi tackles Naraku with a hug, clinging to him tightly. Her first few words are fast and squeaky with worry. " You have to survive, " She whispers. For Ai and for her and for the second Name he carries in his heart. Chuchu can't help herself -- she wants Nara...

"My life, for the rest of the world? I pay it gladly." The little shaman is... unsure... of Matsu, having not met her at all (unless TPO forgot in her brainfoggy state). All the same she creeps closer on all fours to stop a few feet away, looking up at the stranger with big dark eyes. " To protect ...

Ai let out a breath she was unaware she was holding and said, "I am humbled, Little Teacher." Chuchu gently tugs on Ai's sleeve til the Crane leans down to meet her. The nezumi gives her a hug, too -- this one more like a sister's, sweet and knowing. Again she whispers a blessing in her own tongue,...

He was silent for a second then nodded in acceptance. The ratling shyly goes to hug Wu Zhe. She doesn't know him, but she saw him near Chouri, and the woman seemed to trust him... her little arms squeeze him once as she whispers a little blessing in her people's tongue. " To show mercy to another i...

Goju rests his arm around Chuchu's shoulder in a way that someone would comfort a child.

...annnnd Chuchu falls asleep standing up.

At least she's comfortable enough with Goju to trust him like that. In a minute the ratling startles awake, all wobbly and bleary, to mumble out, "Didah miss it?"

Goju returns the hug. Less hesitant than before. He seems lighter than he was before. If she didn't know before hand, she could probably tell there was a great change in his Name. It's a relief. She lays her head on Tadaka, like she would with her father, just holding him for comfort. It's scary. C...

Hisomu Tadaka showed up. He took place in the back and awaited other members of the Spider.

Chuchu will (briefly) pause over-grooming herself to go give him a shy hug.

Chuchu joins the others, looking nervously up at the thundercloads roiling overhead. The storm is here. Her tail curls around herself as she combs through her hair with her fingers, over and over and over again.

She doesn't stop when she pulls out a clumpful of hair.

Chuchu watches Chouri, her ears going up. Oh... this looks like...

"Could I have some tea, too?" Chuchu pauses to ask. She's curious to try what they've got! "Healing? Might I ask what from?" "The bad-bad dreams keeping you from resting well," The shaman answers. "Do you also require assistance?" As she asks this, the ratling pulls the dagger from her girdle to sli...
