lucetilogs | Event Log - Total Recall (2)

First Day:

[Arriving back from her kidnapping was...something. Miyabi knew there were shenanigans afoot when she tried standing up, only to fall over backwards. It was then and there that she spotted her paws, and tail, and gave a soft growl. Well, at least she was somewhat used to being in the body of a wolf. Though this one seemed far less mystical than the one she remembers.

Eh, whatever, it's not like she can choose what the Malnosso do to her, after all. She snifs around, and finds her sword in the grass nearby (thank the gods), and takes it into her jaws. She's going to find a harness or something to carry it around. It's be easier to draw that way.

So, that's her first stop - the smithy. Hopefully she can at least write or pantamime what she needs to the staff there.]

Second Day and On:

[After getting what she needed the prior day, Miyabi's going to be prowling the village and battledome, getting used to her new body and how she has to use her sword. ...In her mouth. It's pretty weird, and really hard, to get the hang of swinging a blade with her head and neck, and drawing it from the harness. Oh, and the harness, too. That feels so odd. Bleh.

When she's not at the battledome training, she's scrounging for food or sleeping out in the open, anywhere she pleases. That, thankfully, is one of the luxuries of being a four-legged beast. Maybe she could even pull an Amaterasu and go begging for food and stuff. Mm...maybe later.

She has a few people she needs to check in on.]

[Cayla was half asleep under a shady tree when a smell she barely detects goes straight to her hindbrain. fhskla WOLF. More than anything, she wants to hide. Stupid instincts.

...But on second thought, there is no telling who this wolf is. Or if they tolerate foxes. Hiding does seem like a good plan. She creeps into the underbrush, her nine tails swishing slightly in her agitation. Sadly, despite her hiding, the wind blows the the fox smell right into the wolf's face. Shit.]

[Miyabi does indeed tolerate foxes (when they don't try to eat her), and a wide variety of animals and birds. It helps when she's usually the one feeding most of them, or getting rides from them when she's in her much tinier form. So, when she catches the immediate scent of a fox, Miyabi does stop and look around curiously for the creature is question - what's it doing so close to the village? - and sniffs around for a better scent.

While snuffling, though, Miyabi can't help but feel an inkling of something else, though. Maybe it's some unseen canine instinct or something, but her tail starts to bristle and puff up the closer she gets to the creature in question. She doesn't make the correlation that it could be a creature that's more than just a simple fox.]

[Oh no so close. The larger canine has caught her scent, making her hiding place moot. The wolf is bearing down on Cayla and its hackles are up... Whether it is agressing or not, this is terrifying for the little fox. Fueled by adrenaline, Cayla is forced to make a rash decision. Hiding is useless: time to make a break for it.

Cayla leaps out of the bushes towards and to the right of the wolf. Hopefully, it will slow down turning and she can get away, because with this size difference it could easily catch her if this becomes a sprinting match. Of course, this move also brings her long tails into plain view...]

[AHDJCHDT--WHAT EVEN. The sudden movement startles the wolf, and she jumps back a good foot or two before she actually manages to catch sight of just what ran past her so fat. Or, well, the tail end of the creature - literally.

It's a shame that nine-tailed foxes are usually seen as mischievous and sometimes even malevolent creatures in her world, lest Miyabi would have left well enough alone. Instead, her ears perk right up and she barks after the fox spirit and gives chase. She hopes it's not an evil spirit, and just someone who was transformed, but...she honestly can't be sure. Better safe than sorry, r-right?]

[NOOO Gotta run faster the wolf is barking and there are no more hiding places and oh she's in deep trouble. She continues to dodge and dart around as best she can, but there is no available escape. So it's time to once again change tactics. This time, she actually slows down slightly, weaving through the underbrush. Unfortunately this plan has its downside. Cayla trips over a root, landing with a squeal as the wolf continues to charge. Only one thing left to do now...]

Help! Somebody! Wolf! [She shouts as loud as she can, praying that somebody, anybody will hear. There is not much else she can do; the animal in question is many times her size, and she doesn't know how to defend herself in this form.]

[Unfortunately for the little fox spirit, Miyabi's been in the body of a wolf before - a few times, in fact - so she's pretty used to the mechanics and movements overall. Running is a bit easier for her than for the little kit, it seems. She closes in, quickly, bracing for what this spirit could conjure up. Nine tailed foxes are supposedly the most powerful, and more sneaky of the spirits she's familiar with.

But, the calling for help isn't exactly what Miyabi was expecting at all. In a vain attempt to stop, or even slow down, she missteps and trips over her own legs, doing a few cartwheels in the dirt (whimper) before flopping right on her belly about a foot or so away from the poor animal.

O-Oh, gods, ow. ;A;]

[After the wolf fell, Cayla stumbled to her feet. Her paw hurt where she had tripped, but the pain was already fading. She really should start running. It's obvious this wolf has it out for her. But she's honestly concerned; the poor thing fell a lot harder and heavier than she did, and it could be hurt. So she approaches the much larger canine, cautious and ready to dart.]

Are... are you alright?

[Aaagh, oh gods, did she land on a rock? A root? Ugh, it felt that way...how in the world did Ammy do all these things? Being a wolf - or just having four legs - is tough! It's so much different than Miyabi thought. She looks at the small fox and nods her head once, then untangles herself and gets up, albeit a bit wobbly at first.

But hey, what about you? Miyabi's pretty sure this little fox spirit isn't what she first thought, and now that her fears of a benevolent and mischievous spirit wandering about the forest and village is gone, she's beginning to feel a little worried for the animal, too. Or...whoever this animal could be, if it's not an animal. She leans down, slowly to not scare the poor thing any more, and gives it a couple of gentle sniffs.]

[Cayla shrinks back slightly from the wolf as it stands. It leans over, and it takes a lot of willpower for her to hold her legs steady; even so, she shakes a little. Having such a huge muzzle so close is scary, but at least the wolf's mouth isn't open now. She allows it to get closer, closer... ok, any closer and she WILL bolt. But the wolf stops there, and takes a few soft sniffs.

Though fox scent dominates, a keen nose will detect traces of less normal smells. There's the slight edge of spirit-ness that marks her as more than a normal fox, but also even stranger undertones. Chicken. Herbs. Fabric softener. Shampoo. Not normal fox odors at all, really. ~~And not appetizing, no matter how afraid Cayla is.~~]

[Miyabi perks her ears after she picks up the scents - human, and...spirit. Yes, definitely a spirit fox, the kyuubi Miyabi's heard stories of near and far. This one is so small, though. The ones Miyabi's heard stories about were gargantuan in size and ravaged lands with little to no remorse at all. They were some of the most merciless and cunning evil spirits that plagued Nippon.

But this one is so small, so fearful, and obvious part human. Miyabi pulls back, shaking her head. The latter scents of shampoo and fabric softener aren't exactly pleasant on her strong nose, and the wolf sneezes once. Ah...gross. Who's have thought she'd actually find things that she liked as a human so offensive to her nose? Being a wolf is odder than she thought.]

[The sniffing is done, the wolf is pulling back, and... That was a pretty big sneeze. Directly onto Cayla's head and shoulders. Sneezing on a spirit may be folly in some worlds, but right now it's merely foul. A quick shake clears the worst of it, though she will still need to clean herself more thoroughly at some point. And ignore the instinct to do so with her tongue.

Cayla stares up at the wolf. It isn't barking or biting anymore. In fact, the larger animal looks confused. Definitely better than aggression, but slightly troubling all the same. Cayla doesn't know of the kyuubi of Nippon, but she is aware of the tricky nature of foxes from Japanese mythology. However, not all Jappanese spirit foxes are mischievous or malicious. Certainly not herself.]

[O-Oops...she sneezed on it. Ehehe, hopefully it doesn't do anything bad or something. Sure, Miyabi was used to dealing with demons and imps and stuff back home (Kamui was crawling with them), but still...she wants to play it safe. The fox spirit doesn't seem bad, and it looks more fearful than angry or vengeful or whatever.

Folding her ears back, Miyabi whines quietly to show she's sorry and lays down on her belly, to lower herself down to the fox's level a bit more. She really wishes she could talk, or write, but this wolf isn't as magical as the one she was turned into long ago. This one just seems rather ordinary. She swishes her tail slowly and noses the ground. Maybe...maybe she could...draw...a house--

Ugh. Worst looking house she's made in decades - with her nose no less, but it looks like a house. She then looks back up at the fox and tilts her head questioningly.]

[Is she still looking for food? Because there's a boy carrying a paper bag full of meat sandwiches while munching on one, walking by her.

He might be inclined to share some, seeing as he doesn't seem to mind the rooster perched on top of his head picking bits of bread from his sandwich.]

[Indeed she is still looking for food. Finding any as a wolf is difficult, especially when you refuse to eat any kind of meat or fish. She's not overly hungry - there's enough fruit and other things in the forest to nibble on - but she isn't exactly against begging here and there sometimes.

Still, it's not the food that grabs her attention, but the rooster perched atop that young boy's head. Um...o-okay? Is he aware it's there? She gawks, tilting her head to one side, and makes a quiet and questioning noise before following after the young boy and his...barnyard fowl.]

[He hasn't noticed the wolf when he passed, so he starts talking to his rooster to fill the quiet.] Hey, if you're eating my food now, then it's about time you get a name. So what'll it be? ...Chickee? Eh, that sounds like a girl name. You're a guy chicken, aren't you? ...Hmm, Clucky? [That earns his forehead a jab from a pointy beak.] Ow! Okay, geez. Not Clucky.

Oh, got it! There's a cereal box in the food shop, and it has a picture of a rooster. Keloggs! [The rooster starts flapping its wings frantically.] Yeah, it's pretty good, righ--Ow! Dammit, stop that-- [Keloggs the rooster is now almost screeching, nudging at Sabo's head agitatedly. So he gives up and turns around.] There! I turned, now what--?

[His blood turns cold. Oh shit. Is... that a wolf following them?]

[Miyabi keeps prowling along behind, her tongue lolling out when she accidentally overhears the little conversation this young boy is having with his pet. Ahaha...p-poor kid, getting pecked like that. Though Clucky is a terrible na--

Oh, she's been spotted. Probably by the rooster first, yep. Though once she and Sabo lock eyes, Miyabi wags her tail and tries her best to look friendly. It's still so weird, knowing that people are so afraid of wolves in Luceti. In Nippon, very few seemed bothered by the canines' presence at all, though the Oina were pretty much part wolf themselves... Even so, she's not going to hurt either of you, don't worry!]

[Sabo usually has good instinct when it comes to wild animals. He couldn't have survived living by himself in the Midway Forest and Mt. Corvo if he hadn't. So when several seconds passed while he and the wolf stared at one another, Sabo gradually relaxes. He takes the nervous rooster from his head and set it on the ground, ruffling its head.]

Take it easy, Keloggs. It doesn't look hungry, so you're probably safe. [Not even worried for himself because pssh, he can take on a single wolf. The rooster however doesn't have that much trust on the boy and it scurries off to a nearby bushes to hide.

Sabo turns to wolf with a thoughtful frown. He read somewhere that animals in Luceti can sometimes talk. Is this guy one of those? Better test that out.] ... Hi there.

[Miyabi follows the rooster briefly with her eyes, and her ears fold back with guilt. Poor thing, she didn't mean to frighten it like that. Ah, if she only had a feed bad or something...she'd at least feel a bit better to have given it something to eat, even if it was nibbling on this child's sandwich earlier. And speaking of which, Miyabi lifts her head, wags her tail, and trots over towards Sabo. She can sense his fear, and nudges at his hand with her wet nose gently.

It'll be okay, she's not here to hurt anyone, especially not a child and his pet rooster. Such creatures are sacred to her - being one of the thirteen brush gods she worships, Miyabi would never do them harm if she could help it.

But what's a little boy doing out here? She's never seen him around before, and in the midst of an experiment where any kind of trouble could crop up (oh, the things she has seen already), it's not exactly safe to be out alone.]

[Yeah, okay. He might've stiffened in fear when the wolf approached, ready to dive at the bushes, grab his pet and run off at the slightest sign of danger. But it didn't come. The wolf remained docile in its approach, enough for Sabo to relax once more and even freely hold out his hand for the animal to nuzzle when it's near enough.]

You're not the talking kind, huh? But maybe you can understand me? Keloggs does in some way, after all. [He returns the friendly greeting by gently patting the wolf's head.] Hmmm, how should I know then... Ah. Could you bark three times for me, please?

[And nuzzle she does. Miyabi bumps her head right into Sabo's hand and squints her eyes shut with a low sound of happiness. She's glad he's no longer afraid of her and licks his fingers before she gets pet on the head. Hmm...now Miyabi understands why Ammy liked getting so much attention from people and being pet and stuff. It felt really nice.

Once she's concentrated enough to hear Sabo's request, she pulls back from his hand - somewhat reluctantly - and barks. Once, twice, three times! She could probably do better and paint what she really looked like with her sword, but...hm. Where did she leave it again? It's probably in the grass close by somewhere.]

Whoa... You really did it! That's awesome! [He grins happily and crouches down to give the wolf a more affectionate head rubs.]

Since you're not planning on eating me or my rooster, maybe we can be friends? My name's Sabo!

[Aaah...pets! Why did pets and scratches and rubs on the head and back and ears feel so good?! It must be the canine part of her that's seemingly craving them like nothing else matters. Miyabi wags her tail furiously, and moves closer to Sabo to lick gently at his face.

It's nice to meet you and your pet as well! She'd be happy to be friends with you, Sabo.]

[Ooooh, that lick makes him laugh.] I'll take that as a yes, then!

[His pet rooster, sensing no danger for now, makes his way back to the boy's head, clucking curiously at the wolf.] See, Keloggs? I told you you're safe. [He scratches the wolf behind her ears again.]

If you're hungry, we can share my food. I got plenty, maybe even worth Luffy's single meal, so that's a lot of sandwiches.

[Once the rooster wanders closer, Miyabi bows her head politely and respectfully to it - swishing her tail once again. If she could smile and not have it look ferocious, she would, but...alas. All she can really do is hang her tongue from between her teeth in a mock grin and hope Keloggs isn't frightened off again or something.

And, while she is pretty hungry, a sniff of the sandwich has Miyabi's nose scrunching up with dislike. Even her animalistic form can't make it so she willingly eats meat. She'll take the bread, maybe, but honestly the wolf would rather Sabo eat. It's his meal, after all! Asking for food, even as a wolf, would be rude of her. Plus, she can find something for herself later if she really needs to. So, Miyabi shakes her head from side to side - no, but thank you for the offer.

Though she won't say not to playing, if he wants to do that later. |Da]
