Make Love, not War! (Phasma!)
|
--Nyuu’s Dorm The little cat-girl’s dorm room was wide open, balloons and confetti spilt out, into the hallway. A large sign in front invited strangers into the dorm. Everyone was invited in, all for one celebration: Nyuu’s birthday. In the dorm room, peddled a little old lady. Her skin was so wrinkled, and the sound of her bones creaking sucked the life out of the teenagers on the campus. For many, it was so awkward to be around a woman of such age. It reminded children of something that they wish not to be reminded of: their own mortality. The old represented death, and how close it was. The old, who wavered on that fine line, frightened the hearts of the young and vivacious. But this little old, Japanese woman, Sakura was her name, had an unusually pleasant disposition about her. Her creased face was always folded into a smile. She scuttled around the dorm, unpacking a homemade cake fresh from home, and putting ice cream from the store in the small mini fridge that the students were given. He shawl wrapped around her, keeping that old body room and insulated. Oh, how she couldn’t wait to see Nyuu again. Sakura did not hint to Nyuu that she would be coming, so this would be Nyuu’s very first surprise party. The woman tired mailing people who Nyuu had mentioned to her. People she had adventured with, and people that, from the sound of Nyuu’s stories, were her friends. Sakura invited them to her dorm room, for the birthday party of the little girl. But, in case she missed anyone on the invitation list, the doors were open to any passersby. The coffee table was cleared of its usual cluster of magazines; now it would serve as the placeholder for the gifts that her friends would bring her. She began placing the four candles on top of the cake. Nyuu… she was already four years old. How time flies? Sakura smiled to herself. |

Chad's tail was wagging behind him madly, it was Nyuu's birthday and Chad knew it, and that meant... PARTY! Oh and cake, and gifts and... Yeah... Birthday. He had woke up the previews week to find an invitation for the party in a really neat calligraphy... Japanese was now his third language, what with the PLEASED 2 making him learn it as he read and listen it. The previews week had been hard, Chad needed to find something that Nyuu could like, and that wasn't expensive... Then he found the pretty bell ribbons, white with a silvery chime hanging from them. He thought Nyuu would love them and bought them without thinking it twice. Now he had wrapped them inside their box and were ready. I can't wait for her to see this... She's going to be so happy. Chad said as he paced around his room, getting dressed, mostly in his usual attire but also taking a pointy hat with him. He walked down the hallway until Nyuu's room, the door open and lots of confetti and balloons. Knocking softly on the door before walking in, Chad was welcomed with a good... No, an amazing surprise. This had to be Mama, Nyuu had talked so many times about her, and she did look like the sweetest person on the world. Placing his gift on top of the table, Chad walked up to the woman and bowed sightly in sign of respect. May I aid you with something? He asked, smiling warmly at her, his tail behind him wagging at an insane tempo. I'm Chad Wulf, and I guess you're... Sakura? He said, his voice was warm, welcoming the woman that made Nyuu so happy. |

Dog of the South. I'll give you a hint, my medication makes me non-homicidal

After meeting Chad, and his "little sister", the adorable, albeit 3 years younger, Jordan, Taisen felt his luck increase this time. Don't get him wrong...Jordan was cute, nice, but too young for his taste, and seriously! At the pace and and Chad was working, they'd be like, best buds in a month or so...And who better to date your family than your best buddy right? RIGHT!? Taisen thought so, so he wasn't about to pass up a chance to meet Chad's other sister, maybe she'd be a little older...little more filled out than the half-pint Jordan. NOT THAT SHE WASN'T ADORABLE! Taisen didn't have much more to go on other than it was Chad's sister, so should be have got a present, he had NO clue what to give her, so...he figured with Chad probably being a real popular guy, his sister would be popular, so maybe there would be a ton of people there, so his non gifting ass wouldn't stand out too much since she'd have so many presents! Great plan! Taisen still wasn't used to the way the school was set up, or the dorms...so he'd left a little earlier than usual, so that way he wouldn't be too late, but he lucked out and caught sight of Chad from down the hall, that was obviously the place. For clothes, he decided to wear what he normally wore, a button down shirt, and a pair of slacks, nothing fancy, nothing TOO casual. He ran a hand through his brown hair and put on his best smile as he rounded the door and peeked in. Time to catch a glance of this total hottie of a sister Chad had. There was Chad, the party hat on his head just made Taisen's already large, unneeded smile grow, but his eyes moved...and the smile faded. No friggin' way! His sister was THAT old? Sheesh talk about a jump...from 3 years younger to 90 decades older...Taisen walked fully in, and silently joined Chad, realizing that it obviously wasn't his sister. He bowed too, like Chad, then put on a smile, but remained silent. He had to say, death WAS scary...but being old, and dying of natural causes...he wouldn't mind that. Being shot in the chest friggin' hurt, and passing away in your sleep sounded a whole lot easier. |

"...but not nargles..."
|
”I don’t believe catnip would be appropriate for a girl her age…” DJ said into the phone as she held her cell against her ear with her shoulder. Both her hands were busy mixing some batter. One hand held the large plastic bowl against her side as her other arm stirred and mixed the cookie batter together. The smell of baked goods filled DJ’s and Sid’s dorm room as DJ placed the plastic bowl down and held the cell phone properly with her hands. ”Issac. I don’t think a Hello Kitty vibrator is appropriate either… Though we can just say it a special toy for when she’s all alo-I think I’ll just finish making these cookies for her. I’ll call you back.” DJ hung up on Issac and got down to baking. An hour later, a fresh batch of cookies was being decorated. Each cookie was in the shape of Hello Kitty; white frosting candy nose and eyes, and pink glittering sprinkles in the shape of a bow. And when DJ was finished decorating the last of the three dozen cookies, she smiled and placed the cookies into a glass pan with some paper towels in it. Now she was set to go. She would meet Chad and some other people there, and she was just making sure she had enough snacks; or at least do her part for the party. She had never met Nyuu’s mama, but she heard good things from Chad. Ever since Nyuu and her battled the skeletons in the world of Trinida, DJ had been very fond of Nyuu. Especially since Nyuu was Chad’s “little Sister” in a way. And if Chad was DJ’s “little Brother” then Nyuu was “Little Little sister.” Which made DJ Big Big Sister. But cute titles to the side, DJ was just happy to have an excuse to cook and bake. DJ left her dorm, after leaving Sid a few cookies that weren’t pretty enough to serve at the party (cookies were cookies, even if the Hello Kitty cookies looked as if they went through some domestic violence). With wrapped present in one hand and the cookie tray in the other, DJ arrived just in time to see Chad and another boy already there. And there was bowing! So DJ went up to the old woman and bowed as well. As a good Japanese girl, DJ made sure to take out her Pleased and greet the old woman properly. ”Hello. How are you? Where is the bathroom? I am allergic to shell fish. Please spare me my life.” DJ then realized she didn’t speak Japanese very well since she grew up in London. DJ placed the Pleased back into her ear and smiled at Sakura, and then to Chad and Taisen. ”Hello Chad… hello… boy I don’t know… I wonder if Nyuu knows its her birthday…” |

ShadowSide's Official Storymentor
|
Nyuu was a strange one to Navvi. She had the physical appearance of a young adolescent girl, but the mentality of a young child. Yet she did not seem to have any kind of mental handicap or disability. So how could someone like here exist? It could be entirely possible that she simply lagged behind when it came to social aging, though Navvi had to believe that even that scenario had its limits, and Nyuu fell beyond those limits. Such a strange young girl. Plus she had a tendency to use him as a form of transportation, either by perching on his shoulder or asking him to carry her. Of course Navvi had no problem with the request. Upon hearing of the celebration of her birth, or at least what was thought to be her day of birth, Navvi readily agreed, as was his usual response. Now the problem was figuring out a gift for Nyuu. As an almost-child, gift shopping for Nyuu should have been fairly easy, also considering that she found nearly everything interesting. But Navvi being Navvi, he overthought the process and, due to his nature, had no gut feeling as to what to get her. Should it be something normally bought for the age she was celebrating? Should it be something that appealed to her cat side, or her human side? Did it matter how much costs? How long would she be using or playing with it? What were other people getting her? After much deliberation, Navvi finally figured out something and showed up at the door to Nyuu's Dorm, carrying a neatly wrapped box with a bow. He had someone else wrap it up because he knew he would have done a horrible job himself, or not done it at all. For a second he thought that he was late or too early, because Nyuu was not there, and just some elderly woman. But then it came back to him. This was the woman Nyuu so fervently adored as a parent, and this could be a surprise party. Navvi silently entered the room, moving past everyone else, and set down the present on the table. Taking a seat on the couch, he began waiting for the guest of honor to show up. When the old woman looked at him, he shot her his best tiny smile. |

Zoro, the demon blade

When Senkio first got the invitation to Nyuu’s surprise birthday party he tossed it aside on his desk and promptly decided to forget about it. The little troublemaker had wandered out of his life for the longest time and only stayed with him for a short gaming session where she proclaimed herself a hero, then ran away at some point. Senkio hunched at his desk for days, research fluttering over his tabletop the agonizing detail he paid attention to in every page of writing and every web site of strung together information. Yet the note, stayed silently off to the side, and every time he thought about how excited she had been about becoming a hero. Senkio felt… bad for not looking for her after the simulation… he’d intended it to be as much fantastic story as it was rough battle simulation. He’d succeeded… maybe a little too well crushing her hopes of being a hero? Senkio set aside his research, feeling like a college student and started a smaller project for the next week. He tracked though many of his favorite books, thinking way back to his first books, the ones that had him hooked with ideas. “Dealing with Dragons” it fit. The fantasy of a princess making a deal with a dragon so she could be independent and the friendship fostered between them. The series had caught his attention for all the unique characters and the unusual strength the princess had. Senkio ordered the first two books in the series, they would arrive just in time for the party. Senkio tried to be as kind looking as he could as he joined the crowd to Nyuu’s dorm. She’d made a impression on quite a few people as he held the twin wrapped packages under his arm. Entering he set the gifts down and noticed familiar, and unfamiliar faces, including the ancient woman at their center. Senkio put on his best smile as he moved out of peoples way, he really wanted to avoid making a scene, for at least Nyuu’s sake. |

Nyuu was one of the beings here at this school Terashi cared about very much. Nyuu was much like an adorable little sister to the kitsune, and one of the very few he could potentially tell his secret to... maybe. Ari was still the only one who knew and he did like to keep it that way. Oh well. She was still important to him, even if she did not bear his secret. That was possible - there were many in his life that had been important to him without them knowing. This was a celebration of Nyuu's life, in a similar vein; there were going to undoubtedly be people there who wished to share in the continuation of that gift called livelihood, and he would be amongst them. The invitation to the surprise party had not gone unheeded, but Terashi had spent much of his time wondering what the little girl would have liked as her gift. There were many things young girls liked; clothing and jewellery, for example... Terashi would have spent any amount of money necessary to purchase her only the finest clothes that suited her. Perhaps books, or music, things that the cultivated mind of the kitsune knew that she could appreciate with enough time. However, his final choice was far different. When the kitsune arrived in his typical blue-white jacket of Chinese silk, he did not come bearing anything wrapped. Instead, he carried an easel, a case of paint and paint brushes, and a canvas to paint on. His gift to Nyuu would be herself. Once he entered her dorm, he looked immediately at the decor and chuckled to himself; it was so typically like her. When he noticed the painting hanging on her wall, he smiled broadly. To see that she still appreciated the painting he had made the year previous was such a gratifying thing - his gift would be all the more perfect. In the centre of the room he saw the old lady and knew that this was the one who had organised this party. With a courteous nod, Terashi placed his belongings near the couch, out of sight of the doorway so that Nyuu could not discern immediately what she was getting. But he waited with extreme anticipation, his chocolate eyes burning with his inner artist's fire. She was a special little girl, that was for sure. |

"...but not nargles..."
|
Demi smiled at Chad and Taisen before nodding politely to the sweet old lady. She then walked over to the counter and placed her cookies with the rest of the food, and placed the present with the other presents. DJ smiled at the pile of gifts, and hers especially since it seemed as if she was the only one to wrap her gift in tin foil. It kept away the nargles… And as Demi was about to return to her friend Chad, she noticed another boy enter the room. Navvi. She had never met Navvi before so seeing someone new on campus was a very nice surprise. How Navvi and Nyuu knew each other was on the young reporter’s mind. She just figured they had met somewhere in school, or in another dimension, because that was also very likely seeing as there were so many worlds out there, and also the tendency for students here to fall into those worlds. Demi waved at Navvi with a smile before walking over to him and handing him one of her Hello Kitty Cookies. New friends deserve cookies, especially cookies in the shape of animated cats with no mouths. DJ then looked down at his present and the cute little bow on top. She could only imagine what was inside Navvi’s gift, and in all the other pretty boxes. Herself, had gotten Nyuu a bright pink frying pan. It seemed important to her when they first met, and represented a lot of things like strength, determination, friendship, and fried food… It was then that Senkio entered the door and looked for the most part amused with what was going on. She waved to Senkio before he eventually went off to be out of the way. She blinked and laughed quietly to herself. It was just like him. She took it upon herself to get two cups of punch from the counter, and walked over to Senkio and extended one of the drinks to him. ”Hello Senkio… She said with a light smile as Terashi entered. That was another boy she had never met before. It was ending up being an interesting group of people. Both those she had never met and those she’s known for a long time. She then giggled and turned back to Senkio. I wonder when the birthday girl will be arriving. |

Make Love, not War! (Phasma!)
|
The smile from Sakura’s face could not be removed. She scuttled around the kitchen, stopping only when Chad, the first party member, entered the room. He introduced himself to her and bowed, but didn’t need to do either. No. Who else could this be but the wolf-boy Nyuu spoke to her so much about? She embraced him in a hug, squeezing him as tightly as her brittle bones would allow. “I’m very happy to meet you, honey! Nyuu has told me so much. My, are you cute?” She pinched his cheek, as only a mother would and introduced herself back to him as Sakura, just as he had guessed. “If you could pin this up for me, that would be wonderful.” Chad was a nice boy. Sakura knew this, because she understood Nyuu’s opinion. Out of one of the plastic bags laying around, the old lady pulled out a poster for Pin the Tail on the Donkey and handed it over to Chad. Yes, it was a rather immature game for a bunch of teenagers—but this party was for Nyuu, and she also knew Nyuu would love it. But the next boy to come into the room, Sakura could not recognize. Albeit, he didn’t have any distinguishable features like Chad and his ears and tail. He looked confused, and hurt. Most likely, Sakura assumed, because he was only the second person to arrive. She greeted him, as kindly as she had Chad, even giving Taisen a hug and introducing herself to him as well. A girl came in next, cute as button too. She was even so kind as to bring cookies. She laughed and her smile only grew. “Hello, dear. I don’t plan on killing you. It would be such a waste; your skin is so gorgeous.” Sakura stroked DJ’s cheek, and just as she had with Chad and Taisen, the little old lady put her arms around the young woman and embraced her in a hug. “My name’s Sakura, dear; I’m Nyuu’s mother.” She gave her one last smile, before going off and bragging to Taisen and Chad about how marvelous DJ’s cookies looked, as if DJ was her own daughter. Sakura was not aware that she knew of the robot boy who came in next. He looked so human, fitting in, at least in appearance, as good as anyone else here. The only thing off about him were those soulless eyes… but even then, that could just be a trick of the light. He went to sit down, and Sakura hurried to go greet him as well, but before she could, Senkio came in next. Aside from Chad, Senkio was, so far, the only person Sakura could recognize from sight alone. His tail, like Chad’s, was a dead giveaway. Surely he was the other nekojin that Nyuu spoke so often of. Did he realize the amount of influence he had over Nyuu? Aware that from a simple miscommunication, his words held more power of Nyuu than Chad’s? Did Senkio’s words match, or even surpass Sakura’s herself? Somehow, the old woman doubted it. No. At least not until Nyuu cared about who she is. He seemed like a quiet guy, trying to stand back and hide away. Sakura approached him nevertheless and before saying anything, she gave him a hug too and introduced herself. “You must be Senkio. Nyuu speaks of you so much, you know? Come in, come in. Stop looking so awkward. Have some cookies. The young lady made them, you know?” Sakura chained her little arm in his, and lead him across the room, closer to the others. Truth: Little old ladies don’t need help crossing streets—it’s their company that needs the assistance. “Nyuu is at the Administrative office. The young lady there is keeping Nyuu distracted. She should be here any second now, actually. She doesn’t know any of us are here. So when she gets here, everyone has to yell ‘surprise.’ She’s never had a surprise party before! Nyuu is going to be so excited!” Terashi then turned the corner to come in, and Sakura nearly shouted ‘surprise’ right then. “Oh my, he’s cute isn’t he?” Sakura gossip to DJ, grasping at the opportunity to relive her teenage days as well. She went to greet Terashi, but following right behind him galloped Nyuu, popping her head right around Terashi to see why he was heading into her room. “Oh… SURPRISE!” |

The greeting he got from the older woman was one that Taisen...well... LOVED! She reminded him of his aunt in a way, so kind, so sweet, fun loving. He was actually amazed because she looked...well she looked old, and in his personal experience, she could be as bitter as she wanted, gotten away with it, and not a single person would have cared, because she'd lived so long, through so much, that she deserved to act almost however she wanted. He gave her a hug back, and made sure to thank her for having him over. When she said she was Nyuu's mother (Taisen only recognized the name thanks to Chad), his big grin grew wider, if she was this old and a mother...how old was this Nyuu girl? She had to be a teacher her or something, well into her adult age, now THIS was looking better and better, any second now, a MILF would walk through the door, and Taisen could introduce himself to Chad's lovely, older sister. Wait was that a "pin the tail on the donkey" game? Sweet! This party was getting better and better! He went off and hung close to Chad, still not too familiar with people, but he kept an eye on everyone who came in, trying to get a feel for their character, and see if he would be able to make friends with them as he did with Chad. The person to arrive after him made him stop what he was doing right away. Was that her? No, she was introducing herself. She was pretty cute...Sakura made mention about the girls skin being gorgeous...Yeah Taisen liked the older woman, she had an eye for cute girls. When the girl waved to Chad, and made sure to say hi, even to the "boy she didn't know" he had to fight himself against making sure to introduce himself, and let her "get to know" him better. But he didn't, not yet, not now, not here. The next three guys to enter, all three silent, the trio said nothing, and went to their own mechanics, staying out of the way. What was so awkward? Was everyone here friends with the Nyuu girl? But not friends with each other? What was with this room decor? Did she have a daughter? Taisen was kinda dense, so the obvious answers didn't pop out at him. When Sakura mentioned it was a surprise party, he felt a wave of anticipation rush over him now, he was getting excited, he still was, after all, a child at heart. So when Sakura yelled surprise, his attention flew to the door, the last guy to enter? Well he did look feminine...Oh wait, the little pink thing? Taisen didn't miss his chance to "play" his part, and made sure to raise his arms in excitement and give a loud "Surpiiiise!" as well, putting on his biggest, best, and most excited grin he'd had the pleasure of "wearing" in some time. Time to meet the birthday girl! |

DJ continued to watch and observe everyone and take note of the different things that made them unique, stand out, or alluring. Chad had his caring passionate personality, Taisen had this look of excitement in his eyes, Senkio had his usual strong serenity about him, Sakura had an abundant aura of love, and Navvi was calm and collected. DJ shrugged and just watched her friends and possible new friends as they all gathered, helped out with the party, and chitchatted. When Sakura walked over to Senkio and her, DJ waved lightly and stood out of the way as she spoke to Senkio. Just like earlier with DJ, Sakura greeted Senkio personally and warmly. iWhat a nice old lady. DJ thought. Ever nursing home would love her. The young girl even had to resist hugging Sakura again. It was just that tempting. Sakura had that distinct old grandma smell, but in a good way. Like a combination of freshly baked cookies, light flowery perfume, and Bengay. Sakura had this sweet little old lady voice too. She spoke of how Nyuu was in the administrative office being distracted while they all got the party ready. And right then Terashi entered. Another boy she didn’t know but he looked nice. He seemed nice, and kind of had this…ancient gaze… or maybe those special contact lens that breaths and moisturize. Those are neat… DJ giggled as Nyuu’s mommy almost yelled out surprise to Terashi. False alarm. At least they were ready for when-SURPRISE! DJ blinked and looked up from her giggled as everyone said surprise when Nyuu entered. The young girl blinked against and realized she missed it. So she yelled out surprise as loudly and as quickly as she could to catch up, but it just ended up everyone was quiet when she suddenly screamed out SURPRISE a few second after everyone else had finished. Demi smiled either way even with the awkward screaming, and removed her camera from her purse. In a flash, literally, DJ took a picture of Nyuu. Happy Birthday Nyuu… Edited by Mirror Paw, Nov 2 2009, 12:09 PM.

Ah, so there was Nyuu, hiding behind him. It was common enough for him to arrive at a strange moment, for that was the way Inari's grace deigned to work. He arrived precisely when Nyuu did, and that would make for a difficult surprise. Instead of shouting surprise to the little girl, Terashi placed his art supplies down to the side where nobody would tread on them. Strange as the greeting was, it was human culture, and he would have to simply live with that. He was very glad to be there, to celebrate life; life was a beautiful gift of the heavens, and to be able to celebrate the life of a friend was a joyous occasion. The kitsune would not have missed this for the world. He patted the little nekojin on the head, scratching behind one of her ears in a friendly manner. It had been a while since he'd seen Nyuu, but he was certainly glad to see her now. He was certainly an adult, being older than everyone in the room combined, but that was no object; he was here to enjoy the day and, when he had the chance, to construct his present for the girl who would likely appreciate it the most. A childish love of art was the most beautiful gift he could give her, and she was already experiencing that gift, as he noticed. She knew he was there - it would be no surprise if he were to shout even at the top of his lungs. But he chose to say something far more heartfelt, to give her gifts of words that a thousand voices singing could never hold. "And a very happy birthday to you, Nyuu." |

The hug was really welcome, the wolf-boy replied by hugging her too, tenderly, and smiled as she pinched his cheek, how could he not? Sakura was truly a lovely woman, no wonder Nyuu loved her so much. His tail was wagging with excitement as Taisen walked in. He smiled to the other boy and picked the poster, nodding to Sakura and going to pin it. More people joined, Senkio was there, Chad knew quite well how much power Senkio held when it came to Nyuu, after all Nyuu considered him a role model. Then Navvi... His relationship with the robot wasn't the best ever, but he sure didn't mind, after all, he had seen first hand how much Navvi cared for Nyuu. DjJ also joined the party, and Chad waved to her with a smile, looking over the cookies... Man, cookies were one of those sweet things that would have Chad's tail wagging madly for a while. Then joined Terashi... And following him closely... Nyuu. Since he was pinning the poster, standing on one chair, the wolf-boy didn't see neither Terashi nor Nyuu, so of course when everyone shouted, Chad turned swiftly, however... That wasn't the smartest idea... SUR-OOOH... He began, however as he lost his balance due to the fast spin, the wolf-boy landed on his stomach, his tail wagging as he looked up with a silly grin Surprise!! And Happy Birth day sis. He said, shaking a bit and standing. He looked to the rest, and gestured gently to the presents pile for Nyuu to see... He was pretty excited to see what she though of the present he had bought. He also wondered what would be Taisen's present... and the others too... Really, this was the first birthday party for the wolf-boy, and thus... He felt excited and wondered how it'll be. He nudged slightly Taisen's ribs and said Yeah, she's my lil sis... He smirked, provably and knowing Taisen, he was expecting a really sexy girl. |

Make Love, not War! (Phasma!)
|
“Waaa~!” Confused. That was the first thing little Nyuu felt. Why was everyone in her room, what were they doing, and what was up with the decorations? In a very small way, she felt violated, because this was supposed to be her room. But that feeling subsided quickly. Everyone was yelling something that she couldn’t exactly make out because of all the different voices merging together, but when Terashi crouched down and to tell her a private and sweet happy birthday, her eyes widened and it all clicked. The presents on the table, the pin-the-tail on the donkey on the wall, her friends gathered and all of that… And….. Mama?!? She didn’t know what to do first. Presents? Mama? Her friends?? Nyuu turned around and disappeared out of the room, took several deep breaths, then poked her head back in. Everything was still there. This was real! She ran in the room, smiling and decided to first hug Mama. It had been a whole year since she’s seen the old woman, after all, and every day Nyuu missed her just a little bit more. If it was up to her, she would be at home, with Mama. “Ohiiiiiyo mina-san! Onii-san! Naffi! Senkio-tomo!” She happily waved to everyone, then scuttled back across the room and hugged Terashi—it had been a while since she had seen him either. Finally, she greeted DJ and Taisen. DJ was a girl she easily remembered (How could you not?) but Taisen… Nyuu didn’t recognize. And she felt a little bad about herself for not remembering who he was. Surely he was someone she knew though, if he was here for her party. “Nyuu honey, how have you been? Mama’s missed you soooo much! How’s school? Are you learning? Are you staying out of trouble, sweetie?” Sakura embraced the excited cat-girl, pulling her into a hug. Nyuu’s attention already turned toward her gifts though. She quickly answered her mother with generic replies, while gravitating toward the gifts. Rude as it may be to turn so quickly toward presents, Nyuu couldn’t help herself! She was only for years old—how was she to know what was considered rude? “Myamya! Myamya! Are those mine?” It was her way asking if she could ripe open the wrapping paper and indulge. She looked at Chad too, asking her big brother’s permission as well. She wanted some preseeents! ((OOC: Hey guys :D I really want part of a wall knocked down during sometime in this thread. Perhaps a rowdy game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey?)) |

When the time to came to say SURPRISE, Navvi did not exactly respond like everyone else. He neither said SURPRISE while jumping up from the couch nor did he go up to Nyuu to congratulate her personally. Navvi did, however, throw up his arms when everyone else exclaimed and made the SURPRISE official, which looked kind of strange since everything else about him was just as stoic and emotionless as ever. Navvi definitely need some lessons in birthday decorum and etiquette, among many other lessons that taught him how to act in social situations. Was it part of the procedure for the birthday person to run out the room in seeming terror? Expecting to have to run after the birthday girl, Navvi got up from the couch and started for the door himself. Thankfully the young Nyuu came back quickly and in a much better mood. As she passed by Navvi on the way to her gift-wrapped quarry, he patted the enthusiastic young girl gently on the head and followed her over. "Nyuu, I think I got you a sufficiently pleasing gift." |

The key point of taking to a out of the way location is that you didn’t know most of the people here. At least on a personal level and that you also didn’t want to bother them. Senkio had never been good at these party things. He’d been called emo a few times before for being weirdly anti social by friends of friends. Senkio looked around darting his eyes and ears over the conversations going on, till a slim girl approached him with two cups in hand. Senkio tried to hide a smirk but DJ was slightly blunt, very intelligent, and very weird. This left him taking the cup from her hand as she obviously tried to include him on the festivities without being straightforward at all. Senkio took all of one sip before he was commandeered by the old woman who was Nyuu’s mother. She hugged him which he held his cup out high to avoid splashing between them, he felt awkward being hugged by someone so, frail looking. Yet his arm was pulled in and she walked him across the room to the rest of the partiers. Sakura, Nyuu’s mother went on to explain the surprise, as well as watched a few more celebrators arrive. Then it seemed to be a flash of purple hair and a wide eye expression as he raised his cup again before someone hit it and yelled “Surprise!” The poor thing ducked back out of the room and poked her head back in after the noise has subsided, thinking about her ears Senkio regretted a little for yelling Surprise. Still Nyuu had a group of people all celebrating her birthday, Senkio smiled as he put his cup down and picked up a cookie to munch on while Sakura walked towards Nyuu and mother and daughter held each other tight. Senkio looked straight down away from the scene as he thought about the last hug he had shared with his parents. Of course the little girl was fantasizing about the presents and some of the other people at the party were moving in close eager to give her their presents. Senkio once again was happy to step back because he was dealing with his own issues and once that was done he’d be more than happy to focus back on Nyuu. Right now he rubbed his cheek and pulled away the regretful tear that had escaped without him noticing. |

This was it! Didn't she look...a little small? Maybe she was the MILF's daughter. Oh...Daughter...divorced MILF? An older woman who needed a little TLC, and maybe a father figure for h- He turned and glared at Chad...wanting to deliver a sharp elbow to the wolf boys side. ANOTHER girl under the age of 13? What was WITH him and having loli sisters? Was he like, a collector of little girls...Did Fen have some sort of fetish he should know about? Taisen rubbed all the thoughts away as the party kicked to life, and he couldn't help smile at the little girl. So she wasn't a MILF, or an older sister of Chad's, she was a kid. Wait...That old bag was that little ones mom? Taisen suddenly felt very...very confused, his mental gears trying to turn, yet nothing was clicking. In the end, he decided he could always pull Chad aside, and ask him later. It started off fine, he and Chad stuck together for the most part, just idle banter between the two, business as usual, and then he overheard the little voice pick up again. Those? The those that might happen to be the same those that would be called "presents" in a normal language. THAT those? Taisen rubbed the back of his head, and was very glad he decided to skip on the pink panties autographed by himself. That would have probably gotten him burned at the stake...or beaten with a rolling pin. A very comical image popped up in his head, Sakura beating him over the head with said rolling pin. As funny as it would have been, he's glad he decided to arrive gift less instead. But at the same time, with her enthusiasm, he felt really weird not getting her something. Wait...Did she have ears on HER head TOO? How many people had animal ears? But then again...maybe he could dangle keys in front of her, and give that to her as a present. No, that was just mean...Taisen leaned up against a wall and tried to think over a suitable gift. He couldn't leave the room...so what would he give her? Maybe he could sing her a song, or recite poetry, or maybe his gift to her would be some magic tricks. What did he know about her? She was Chad's sister. Check. She liked the color pink (the hair, clothes, wall paper?). Check. She had animal ears. Check. She was so sugary sweet, he actually got a toothache thinking about her. This was going to be tough... "H-hey Chad. What sorta gift did you get her?" He said in a really low, quiet whisper. |

To see the little girl indulging in her gifts was a pleasing sight. She was so happy, so contented, just so... glad to see the people gathering for her little celebration. It was a moment worth capturing. It was certainly something Terashi needed to give to the canvas. He returned her hug with a warm smile. The young kitsune was extremely glad that she was feeling so free-spirited and light-hearted. Terashi didn't want to break this kind of perfection or let little Nyuu be disappointed that she wasn't going to get her gifts. So, while he was unaccustomed to these human traditions, he could break away from the group and prepare Nyuu's gift. She'd surely appreciate that. So, in the corner of the room, he found himself a seat - surely they wouldn't mind Terashi borrowing one - and set up his canvas and easel. His paint supplies were opened, and he gave himself a moment to consider the scenario. She was moving around, bouncing, trying to get in and do everything... painting her would be a challenge. But there was a solution. A second Nyuu. And so, Terashi focused, conjuring up every memory of Nyuu he could find, while staring directly at her with chocolate eyes. He was trying to create the perfect simulacrum, a copy of a treasured friend - and there it was. A perfect replica of Nyuu, sitting in seiza on the ground with the most joyous expression Terashi could create on her face that fit her. Perfect. It wouldn't move. With a smile caressing his lips, he took up the pallet and started to paint. He had a master work to create. |

Make Love, not War! (Phasma!)
|
((OOC: I feel so dirty posting here now <.< like some huge tease to Nyuu. “Hey, remember at your party? When mama was still alive? And how you were more concerned with your gifts than her? :D” “…T_T”)) She was practically given the go ahead to have at her gifts. And have at them, she did. Her little hands happily plucked through, picking out the bigger boxes, of course, because surely they’d contain the better gifts, right? Bigger = better? Of course, you never quite learned that growing up. No matter how many of those big boxes were filled with clothes, children never lost faith that the next one might contain a dinosaur or, if you were really lucky, Power Wheels! The big boxes brought in by Mama, though, were filled with new clothes. She pretended to be pleased and excited by them, as she politely folded them up, tucked them away, and hastily moved onto the next wrapped up package. Mama stood by, camera in hand, making her hold each gift up as she snapped photo after photo, as she did every year, and every Christmas, and, well, every holiday! Still, Nyuu lived with it. Senkio’s gift was the next she opened. It was a little heavier compared to the others, which peaked her interest. After tearing through the wrapping paper and throwing it aside, two books were revealed. Ones she had never seen or heard of. Nyuu was not much of a reader, and not that good at it either, but the books came from Senkio, so she was sure they held some significant purpose. Mama was quite pleased that Nyuu received a pair of books, because it would encourage the little girl to read more, and open her mind to new and puzzling ideas. The old woman smiled at Senkio, happily. Next Nyuu shoved her little hand into the pile, and pulled free Navvi’s gift. Beneath the wrapping on that one, was a coloring book (as in, a book that’s meant to be coloring on, as she already learned that the ones in the library were not to be treated in such a way) with, whoda guess, sparkling crayons! She stared at them in awe… they had glitter inside of them, but how?! She knew a few books that were going to get a nice little make over tonight… DJ’s gift must have been the most random, as it made her giggle when she found out what it was. A frying pan, just like what she had used in Trinida, except this one was much prettier. And pink. Mama was puzzled, but she snapped the photo anyways and Nyuu put it down, planning to practice with it later on. Warrior with a frying pan! How delicious. Then she opened a much smaller gift, this one flat and wide. A gift from Mama, again, though much simpler than what the old woman usually gives her. This one had a framed photo of the old lady, and on the back, though Nyuu could not see it without looking, read: I will always be proud of you. --Mama An empty locket with a cat face on the front accompanied the gift. Mama would later tell her to fill it with whatever her heart is missing, so that she may keep it close to her always. Lastly Nyuu opened up Chad’s gift. The gift, like Mama’s, was also simple, but she adored it. Chad knew exactly what Nyuu liked, and she embraced the chiming bells. They were white, shiny, and ribbony… Just the way she liked it! The question remained: Would they be better worn round her neck, or in her hair? The decision would have to be made at another time, as she finally noticed that there was a copy of herself in the room. Her jaw dropped, and Mama was a bit confused too. “Amazing…” She muttered, not having the pleasure of witnessing the student’s powers ever before. Honestly, she was a bit frightened, but wouldn’t you be? Not Nyuu though! She had been exposed to a little too much at such a young age to become afraid when ‘different’ things happened. She scuttled over to the clone silently and sat down on the ground, a few feet away. After a couple of inconspicuous scotches closer, until she was at the smiling clone’s side, she lifted up her index finger and slowly pointed at the other Nyuu’s cheek. Slowly… slowly… until she gave it a little poke. |

But the clone did not move. Not even the skin dimpled inwards; it felt exactly like the texture of Nyuu's skin, occasionally even blinked, moved as if it were breathing, but... that was the strangest thing! It was as if Terashi wished it only to move naturally within the constraints of it sitting still, without outside interference. Such was, in fact, true. Terashi watched Nyuu moving, and let her move in with the curiosity of the kitten to examine the other her, giving her a few moments to marvel at Terashi's creation. "That there is simply a version of you that I am getting to stay still, Nyuu-ko. I'm making your birthday present right now, but I don't want you to have to sit still for a very long time. That way you can run around and enjoy your birthday and I can make you the best present I can possibly give you." And if that failed? Terashi had his backup method. From the sky and into the real Nyuu's lap landed a ball of red yarn about the size of her hand, nice and inviting for the little kitten. It could unfurl, it felt exactly like real yarn! And unless she worked out it was only an illusion - which she probably wouldn't - it would be a real ball of yarn for her. "It's your birthday and you should enjoy it. Don't worry about me; watching you play is gratifying enough. Have fun!" And the paintbrush met the canvas, brushing the paint he held along its surface. Nyuu was free to watch, but he would not participate in games. Perhaps watch on with amusement at these human games. He was too busy. He needed to make this perfect. |

She couldn’t be older than seven, really Nyuu couldn’t be any older than that and she had been just shoved into this school. The artful painter who was playing out powers all over the room seemed like a wonderful distraction for the little girl, but a painful magnification of how… she didn’t belong here. Senkio had risked his life twice for her, even if one had been in a fictional world and each time he’d at least privately berated her for her foolish and… stupid actions. Her life had latterly been thrown away and it was people like this painter who understood why. Senkio appreciated his separation from the group right now, for all he wanted to say to Nyuu was he was sorry and wished she wasn’t here at all. This school, is no place for a seven year old but, in a grander sense this world had no place for any of them. Some grew strong, others delusional, mad with power, and isolated in shame. Nyuu hadn’t reached any goalpost of this new Evotelluric upbringing simply because she wasn’t there yet, and this birthday was a celebration of her getting closer to people like him? Senkio was ashamed, and as the red ball of yarn fell from nothing and populated this room Senkio wished all the more, that there were more bastions of sanity than madness in this world. Senkio looked over to Nyuu’s mother and weather she knew it or not he respected her for somehow keeping Nyuu from the real trama that he and so many others had faced when this all started. As well as pitied Nyuu for how unprepaired she was for the real horrors still to come, limbus, thousands dead. Those kinds of omens are real now, they come here now. Senkio wished he was in Trinada… Senkio downed his furity drink and walked over and grabbed up the yarn ball, it felt fake, in the same way Trinada’s fakeness was comforting however, rolling it over his hand he rolled it across the room smiling to Nyuu in what would be called his mask of joy. |
