The Day of Thunder

"What about crystal, Grandmother? Would that work?" Chuchu cheeps.

Sora motioned to the Nezumi.

She drops to all fours and scampers over to use the old man as a pillow. Looking around, Chuchu tries to gauge "temperature" of the room.

Chuchu, half-asleep, finally toddles into the headwoman's house... she fell asleep on accident again... blearily she looks around for a friendly human to lean against.

"Heal-healing people," The shaman chirps. She's been... sniffing... Kenji. Very intently. The scent of fresh grass overwhelms her nose, and she rubs it. "Okay!" Chuchu sits up to stretch, trying to wake herself up for what comes next. [D5MM] Perception/Lore: Corruption + Nezumi Scent + Name point | ...

Dammit, what[/i] is that smell?

Seeing the adults are talking, Chuchu turns her attention to the Otomo. Sniffing Akutou, too, she's a little curious as to why he's so worried.

Her face scrunches up.

Chouri chuckles. "Not that I know of. Do I smell that way?"

Her ears go up and her eyes grow wide. "You understand me, but you're not one of the People? What are you then? Are you a dream made a person?"

“We will,” she said confidently. Then she looked down at ChuChu and said, “Oh… little one… Chu-Chu-san? Yes?”

"I won't tell," Chuchu cheeps out at Chouri before gently tugging on Ai's sleeve. "Doji! Saw Doji!"

She settles back into the hug with a warm sigh, her tail wrapping around Sora, too. " We're alike... " It really is a comfort, knowing there are humans like nezumi, too.

When Chuchu scampers up and asks for her, she crouches a bit to get on her level. "I'm Chouri, it's nice to meet you. I hear you found my notes."

Chuchu nods before carefully leaning forward to sniff Chouri. "Are you one of the People?" She asks, eyes wide.

"We ever meet in the waking world, kiddo, you've got an ally. Just saying."

She settles back into the hug with a warm sigh, her tail wrapping around Sora, too. "We're alike..." It really is a comfort, knowing there are humans like nezumi, too.

Meanwhile, Chouri arrived, having been invited by Sora earlier. She approaches where Chuchu is dealing with the kids, hanging back and watching with a smile. Chuchu will get up from the table to play with the other children for awhile -- tag and singing made-up songs and rock-paper-scissors -- but ...

"Glad you like it, kid. But isn't Tomorrow.... don't you guys use it to refer to death?" She tilts her head, one ear down, one ear up. " Some did, " Chuchu answers. " Some do, still. Those who thought we might not survive the horrors that fell from the Heavens felt the future held only death. But T...

The Nezumi turns slightly as they approach. "S'si'chuchu-per'i'per'i'thich. It has been a little while since your last visit. And you come with humans. How unusual. " " Grandmother! " The ratling scampers forward to hug the Transcendent, her tail wagging wildly. " Yes! This is the favored pup of th...

"Sure. Be handy to introduce myself with when Soryu gets home..." The little nezumi nods, her dark eyes shining as she pulls the dagger from her girdle. One sharp cut later Chuchu tilts her head, ears rising, eyes widening -- oh! " You're like me! " She chirps. " Your Name -- Chasing Tomorrow -- yo...

Local mouse woman has to nap because. Writing makes her so eepy sleepy. Be back in a few hours for more!

Some of the village kids run up to her, eyes wide. "Woooow! What are you?"

"Nehzoomi," She chirps back at them, tail tip wiggling. "Hi-hi!" Chuchu starts to groom her little face using her hands and soon her fur's all back in order (and much less sticky). "Hi-hi Chuchu!"

Chuchu does her best not to wander too far ahead of the humans she's leading. Earlier she'd chittered something about trying to find a tree with great Name, and the nezumi takes her time, leading them deep into the oldest parts of the forest. It's when she spots the great drooping branches of an anc...
