The Day of Thunder

"Child, you creep into my dream uninvited." She crosses her arms. "Explain yourself. And tread lightly, for you are treading on my dreams." The little nezumi seems pleased by this turn of events, watching the creation of the path with interest; only when the sharpness returns to Anjing's voice does...

I am free all night D2 unless something happens Does Chuchu have any sleep-slots left for day 2? :) Shang has slept-en-ed and is also open for a scene-scene! Perhaps Chu-chu can hang out with Shang and her dream-dog-companion Fung? :D Have midnight left for D2, and D3's early morning is uncalled fo...

"I...cannot see the path."

She hesitates before gently offering: "If there is no path, then make one." That is the way of chieftains and shamans. Chuchu looks up at the old woman, waiting to see what she will do, and if she can help.

"Show me the cliff."

The shaman listens, ears flattening. Stubborn as a mountain, this one. Still -- she nods. The cloud turns her to bare her forward to the cliff's edge, which she cautiously, cautiously looks over. "You don't have to go back, but, wouldn't it be better to take the path down?"

She sighs and skips off the pond. "I don't know, but -- the way you speak -- the Rot... is there a person at the center of it? What do you humans know of it?"

"Wouldn't the enemy be able to hear my True Name?" " Have you not seen it? Have you not felt its presence? It spills out into the waking world, rotting your people and animals from the inside out. " She pauses, shaking her head. " I would whisper it in your ear, once I know it, or could keep it hid...

"A big leap of faith I am taking by putting my trust on you Great Number... -san? " he ventured, unsure how to address one of the Nezumi. "How do I know you're not an enemy" " Because I want to help you! " Exasperated, she throws her hands up in the air. Humans and their paranoia! " And! And! You h...

"Sure," he shrugged. "I guess your True Name is Great Number?" " I am a shaman. We change our Names as needed -- for that is our connection with the root of all things -- and hide our True Names to protect them from those who might harm us. Great Number is one small part of my Name, but it is not m...

"I refused."

"Mmhmm," She nods. "This place is safe... it's pure and untouched, more than the other dreams in this place." She looks at the other children, considering which would be most likely to play with her. "Can I stay here awhile?"

"What is the meaning of this?!?!" Quickly she covers her sensitive ears, whole face scrunched up as she waits for the dreamer to stop yelling. Once it... seems safe... she lowers her handpaws to regard the woman. " The path you follow now will walk these people off a cliff. Come see. " The shaman g...

"My... true name?" he looked at her as if she had just spoken another language. "What is that?" " Your True Name is your essence. The root from which your Self grows, and that which you will return to. " She smiles. " A Name can reveal much about its owner -- or hide their secrets within its depths...

"Are you all right?" Her whole body perks up as she recognizes the boy. " You mean Tiny Nose? " Chuchu begins to creep forward, and then all at once bounds over to join Sora, eyes wide. " You're Tiny Nose's father! Everyone talks about Tiny Nose! " She starts to look between all the children, tryin...

"And you said the storm in both sides? What about the forces of the Enemy? Are they not present here?" " I believe we are safe from the Rot here. " Chuchu steps forward -- onto the water -- though she does not sink into its depths, instead soon standing at the pond's center, eyes glancing around at...

"I have spent so much time on the hunt that I do not find myself... engaged in fun... very often." Chuchu blinks. " No wonder your heart is so heavy, " She murmurs. The shaman scurries over to plop down next to Yukara. Little thing seems to have no understanding of personal space; she's happily rig...

"I mean, my son Soryu..." He pointed to the boy romping with his dog. "... he's visiting the Nezumi right now, so...I think I can reciprocate the hospitality a bit." " This is a special dream, " She answers very softly -- as if she's been chided for breaking some rule. But again her dark eyes and d...

"An opening? Storm? What do you mean?" he looked at the Nezumi confused. "Is that why you came? Did you cause this dream?" " This dream is all yours, drawn from you. " She stands to meet Naraku's gaze. " Some dreams -- and some dreamers -- are more open to visitors than others. And some call. Mysel...

"Are you the Nezumi Chuchu?"

Her ears lower slowly before she ducks behind the tree. She probably shouldn't be here; it's too intimate a dream. "Yes!" Chuchu squeaks out shyly. "I am Great Number, Nameseeker of the People. I didn't mean to disturb you!"

Indeed, as the group continues on a steep and treacherous cliff looms on the horizon, the path leading straight to its edges! But the host doesn't seem to register the warning, continue to march grimly onward down the path towards that danger. With a frightened squeak she grabs a branch tight in on...

"My twin and I, we were found in the Shinomen Forest. You should know. You're part of my dream, aren't you?"

"No, I came here because there was an opening," Chuchu states matter-of-factly. "I'm a Dreamwalker. You're one of the humans near the storm, aren't you?"
