When: Early March before the event

Warnings: i hope none because this is the cute log for cute times


[Early in the morning just before the sun rises, everyone's favourite (source needed) chaos goblin walks out into the middle of the Grove with a wicker basket full of small, colourless, white blobs shaped like vague creatures. Setting the basket on the ground, he carefully tilts it until each goes tumbling out, wide eyes taking in the various features of the landscape before tiny legs and wings carry them off toward people and residences.

Still crouched outside, Ain writes in his notebook in a perfect mimicry of someone else's handwriting:]

They are coming :)

[Then, he heads inside his home at the bakery to watch the chaos from his balcony.

---

The Artifact Creatures wander in search of a master. You, apparently, did not get the choice as to which one picked you - it just did, a squishy white and grey blob forcing its way into your window or out of your air vents or up through your drain to reach you. As soon as it spots you, its colour scheme shifts to match yours, big eyes staring up at you.

You are now the proud owner of something not dissimilar to Ain's Dachsologie, which can only mean good things for the future.

---

Later in the day, when he's sure most people have been invaded by small, indestructible beings who have now soul-bonded onto them, Ain writes in the notebook in his own handwriting:]

The creatures have species names!

Dachsologie is the name of the owl-looking hamster but it'll look like mine eventually (MINE ALSO GREW WINGS??? SUDDENLY?? SO APPARENTLY HE'S STILL GROWING :O )

The little round lion is Leon. The Elswords have one big Leon each.

The round deer is Serne! It will look more like a deer when it grows.

The small winged cat is Alisha ^^

The little bird is Revent

The tiny dragon is Vaikal!

The robotic looking round guy is Karte. It will look like a dragon when it grows too :O


This is my gift to everyone! They don't need to eat but they do like food and they're made of raw magic and they're emotionally and soul-ly bonded onto you now, so they'll grow with you as a person. Please be kind to them and give them names and kisses and stuff :O!!



[[ooc: hi this is a present i guess
on the spreadsheet that i'll re-link here if you could please write your names down and change the highlighted number if you take from the extras pool that would be appreciated. if your name is already down from my prior surveying don't touch my numbers!! also the mechanics/rules/whatever are on that first tab of the spreadsheet.

also please stop moving my photos and gifs around every time i open this spreadsheet they've migrated elsewhere please leave them in one spot

have fun make toplevels etc]]

[ This is after the initial scare because I said so, but people might not have figured out what happened outside of his immediate circle. Either way Pavlova is more than a little surprised when he opened the door this morning to little mochi creatures running all over everything in search of owners. He barely has a moment to process what's going on before one abruptly turns shades of white red and pink and launches itself at his feet.

His wings fluff- somewhat indignantly as he stares back down at the little creature. Frankly, he.. has no idea what to do with it. It looks something like Vernal but was much more catlike and had very small wings. Which means it was very likely this thing was now soul bonded to him. Oh no.

After a moment he reaches down to pick it up and glances around for anyone else that may have found themselves with a new pet as well. ]

... I don't suppose you know what's going on here?

♡2》for Ain
[ Once the note about what the different types are goes out in the netbook, Pavlova's first order of business is to take the little thing to Ain's. If he's to be saddled with another thing to worry about, he at least wants to know how to take care of it. Yes, Ain put the basics in the message itself, but he assumes there's more to them than little magic friends. He also wants to know why. ]

Ain? You there?

yes hello im ain

[eidxiety]

[Ain is on the balcony! Hi hello he's waving!]

Nope, I'm an illusion made by your memories of Ain~. [yes it's ain]

[lovelyredthread]

All good memories, too.

[ Ain being silly is. Strangely nostalgic. As though time had passed despite the fact that he just saw him a few days ago at most. Time doesn't feel real after breaking the enchantment that was on him.

He doesn't go through the shop to get up there, he just flies up with the cat creature in his arms. ]

You said this is called an Alisha? Are they all girls?

[ Important questions. He wouldn't want to give a girl a boy name on accident. ]

[bluebasketballed]

[admittedly, akaza does not have time to sit on the netbook waiting for ain's explanation. he might have heard about and glanced at the first ominous message, but past that? he's got a town to patrol.

and an off-white mochi with shut lavender eyelashes and a crown of tiny blue irises on his tail. he's so preoccupied with staring quizzically over his shoulder at the thing following him that he doesn't even notice pavlova until the cookie speaks... at which point he looks up at pav and drops his jaw just a bit. between the size of pavlova and the round creature in his grown-up arms, this poor idiot's brain is momentarily fried.]

... No? What's going on with you?

[lovelyredthread]

[ He huffs softly at the indelicately phrased question. It's not like he might be self conscious about suddenly having this happen like this or anything. ]

I broke the enchantment that was on me. Surprise.

[ The little catlike creature beeped indignantly and wiggled in his arms, not wanting to sit still, clearly. ]

So this is what I actually look like.

[jesterlies]

[Shadow Milk is trying to untangle one from his fucking hair, help. It has also turned a few shades of blue with a gold shimmer to its horns.]

This is probably Green Bean's fault.

[Is it because he knows what these Mochis are? No. He just has a feeling.]

He has chaos zoomies when he gets too bored, I think.

[lovelyredthread]

[ Oh jeeze-

He perches the cat on his shoulder for a moment while he disentangles the little creature from his father's hair. Oh, this one's a little deer(?) Weird but cute. ]

I wouldn't be surprised. Ain doesn't often think about consequences, and these kind of remind me of Vernal.

[ In which case they are now stuck with these things because they soul bond. Lovely. ]

... I hope these aren't very high maintenance. I love animals, but I've never really had pets.

A) Kidnapped by Baby | OTA

[Till does not want to go outside. He does not want to do anything, he does not want to see anyone, he does not want people period right now.

Karte has other plans.

There's no real rhyme or reason to how it manages to get in the house, it just. Does. Because the second he could, Till vacated the Inn and went right back to where he, Mephisto, and Faust are staying...only to be bonked in the face by a softly beeping creature rotating in midair like a fork in a microwave. He spins and spins until Till sits up and looks at him, which prompts him to shift from dull grey to a vibrant mixture of black and neon green.

Then, Till is abruptly bonked into again. And again-]

Ow-! Hey!

[And then before he knows it, the creature has spun his wheels and has managed to somehow get a grip on Till's head by his hair, sensing his stress and taking that as a sign he needs to go outside and be around people.

Ergo: he is being dragged outside whether he likes it or not.]

W-what the fuck! Let go of me!!

B) For Ain

karte came back but its smaller
it wont get out of my hair help me

yes im ain

[eidxiety]

??

Oh, right, you were friends with Add's Karte. This is a different one, this one is a baby! I'm glad he found you! :O

[foreversembrace]

different...? what do you mean??

[He just told you, he's a baby!]

a

[moonwhispers]

[ The yelling startles Faust enough to hurry out of his and Mephisto's room with- what looks to be some kind of floating seal pup following behind him. He's been puzzling over it since it came in through the window, but it seems like they have bigger problems. ]

What--

[ Oh. How did Till manage to get his hair stuck in this thing's wheels? ]

Hold still, I'll try and get you unstuck.

[foreversembrace]

[Thankfully this time the yelling is not because someone's dying, but. You know. You never know with Till at this point.

The Karte seems to have fully gotten himself (purposefully) tangled up in Till's hair, because he wasn't following him outside otherwise. If Faust pays attention to the way the robot moves, he's not just wiggling like he's stuck...he's pulling him towards the door.

Not that it's getting him super far, considering.]

Ow ow ow-

[loansharpedo]

A) For Ain

If they are magic-based creatures, do you think a Pokeball would work on them?

[You know. For science.]

B) The Grove | OTA

[Out in the Grove proper...it's the first time he's really been able to go outside without getting body-slammed by a massive bug. He's recovered from his injuries, but that doesn't mean Scolipede isn't sticking very, VERY close to his side just in case. He might growl a little at you if you approach too quickly, but don't worry he won't attack unless provoked (or Corbeau tells him to).

Corbeau is walking with a little creature held in the center of his palm that he's petting with his thumb. Every so often, it beeps or nibbles on Corbeau's fingers.]

a

[love_swan]

[ Aira's been making friends with Urbain but hadn't had the opportunity to talk to Corbeau just yet. He's been fairly out of the loop in regards to what's been going on with the two of them during the last month or so due to his impromptu trip to the Pines' cabin.

Running into him now wasn't particularly purposeful, but the blond has a little pale yellow creature in his arms that he doesn't seem to know what to do with. ]

Ah- so you ended up with one of these things too, Corbeau-san. They seem to be all over the place...

im ain

[eidxiety]

:O Those are the orbs you carry your big bug friend around in, right? Haha, I don't think so. You could try?

For Ain

[namuthing]

why the fuck did you curse me with a cat.

[eidxiety]

It's a blessing :O because I'm full of love and whimsy~

[ Now, Muichiro isn't really an expert on animals. He adores them, but between his amnesia and his limited schooling prior to that he doesn't know much about them. Even so he's pretty sure that's not a normal shape or color for a bird to be. He almost hadn't noticed it since it had come to rest on his shoulder just like Ginko usually does. Only it didn't immediately start squawking so it definitely wasn't her.

Funny how much he kind of missed her riling everyone up.

Anyway it was far too docile to be a normal species of bird, to say nothing about the other things. It came right in through his window while he was making tea! Well, he's not going to waste the tea, so he takes his cup with him as he heads down to the lobby area of the Inn. Maybe someone there would know what he was looking at. ]

♡2》for Senjuro
[ After the semi-explanation was posted in the netbook and Muichiro came to grips with the fact this thing was soul bonded to him, he took a little walk to the dojo to see the only other person he knew that had experience with odd little cute creatures like this. The little bird wasn't Puck, but its possible that they would get along?

Flimsy reasoning, but it was the first thing that came to mind after the revelation that he'd have to keep the little creature. ]

Senjuro? Are you home?

IS FOR ME

[averageineverything]

[senjuro, meanwhile, has absolutely kept up with the netbook despite having nothing to do with the creatures. he's fascinated, he's intrigued, he's -- anxious to see muichiro alive and well, considering what happened last month, so of course he hurries to the voice once he hears it.]

Oh -- ! [muichiro appears to have a critter attached to him just the same as puck is to senjuro. at least that's a better topic to latch onto than "oh my god you died."] You've got a new friend...!

[chonomai]

I seem to have gotten an Alisha in my book somehow. Is that common?

[eidxiety]

Oh, a book baby! Haha, I don't think it's common but my friends have an Alisha between them and she's always in his cookbook :O

[jesterlies]

I'm not giving it back, it's mine now. It imprinted on me and everything.

[Yes, Ain has established these are gifts.]

Anyway, it started barking.

▸ in person/action

[a week after Stardust Cookie lands in the Grove, The Creature seeks him out. it's small, fluffy, and it jumps a lot. this creature follows him around everywhere. for hours, he walks all over the Grove, trying to ignore it. it jumps! it follows! it bumps into his leg!

eventually, Stardust turns to the Netbook. he has barely paid any attention to the Netbook since he arrived, but now he's checking it for mentions of these creatures. that's probably a good idea, right? he flips back several pages and finds Ain's explanation.

ah, so... this belongs to him now. he just got here, and he's already got a soul-bonded friend. that is not a bad arrival gift, though he is nervous about his magic accidentally hurting it! he closes the notebook and sighs.

later, he looks down at the creature and nods solemnly before holding out his arms to pick it up]

Hello. It is nice to meet you.

[he's outside when he finally accepts this creature that has been waiting for him to settle in. it starts to take on a darker hue, matching blues and purples, with white specks, looking very much like a little galaxy blob]

Oh. Is that normal?

▸ netbook

Sorry this message has arrived late. Thank you for the creature. It appears that I have an Alisha, I believe. I am thinking of a name for it.

i

[lovelyredthread]

[ Guess who's wandering by and happens to see him pick up his new friend. ]

Yeah, that's normal. Chantilly did the same thing when he found me. I think that just means it's bonded to you.

[ Said little gremlin is bouncing along behind him and squeaks at the other Alisha. ]

arrives late for netbook-

[eidxiety]

Yay!! (Are you new?) I'm glad a friend found you~. I hope you like your new friend!!

They don't really have a concept of gender, so you can pick whatever you want.
