WEEK THREE

19 Villagers

They say nothing is healthier for the mind and body than physical labor - especially if you can hold the fruits of it in your hands and store it in your kitchen. Whatever cruelties you have witnessed or endured in the past week, your fields need tending to and they reward you with as quick as harvest as always.

If drowning your grief in work is not enough for you, there are new spots to explore in Puffin Town. Allow the novelty to distract you from your dwindling numbers!

Always remember, the value of a community is not measured by it's size.

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST for this final week! Get your bloodthirst in or forever hold your peace! Gift submission is still open as well!

If your character has been planting Astera, here's a reminder to report it at the Astera tracker - this does not need to have been threaded, we're just taking stock on an OOC level.))

[ Turning to offer a smile only for him to basically do a double take.

Wow. That should be illegal. Giving a whistle. ]

Much more with you around, yo. You're looking good.

[enkiboo]

[ It's what is in style! (back in Mesopotamia times, anyway) ]

Thanks for the compliment! You're looking rather stylish yourself...I'm not familiar with how people dress up in other worlds, so it's refreshing to see the differences.

[ Well, they're not familiar with modern style attire either, but eh. Nine IS from another world... ]

Did you want to dance?

[linearcrash]

[ Thank for Mesopotato. ]

It's not that far off from what I usually wear, yo. Just add a cape and some pauldrons. [ It's close-ish enough to his uniform. ]

Why not? It's not like there will be another chance to, right? [ Since who knows what tomorrow will bring. He'll off his hand to lead him to the dance floor. ] Uh... you might want to lead though.

[enkiboo]

It's not a bad alteration. You fit right in with the crowd.

[ Nine has good styling sense to Enkidu, it seems, for however much that counts. ]

I can lead just fine; after all, I'm sure you can keep up!

Here, just like this...

[ Then, just like that, Enkidu's expression turns somewhere excitable again before they pull Nine along with them, steps quick and sprightly. Their grip is also perhaps surprisingly strong for their appearance; nothing dainty about that! ]

[linearcrash]

[ He grins at that. Even if normally he wouldn't care about fitting in, it feels like a compliment from them. ]

Hey, don't worry about me. It's my job to keep up.

[ He's a keeper upper. Nine places his free hand on Enkidu's shoulder. He'll move with him, relying on instinct and training as they move. ]

How strong are you anyways? [ He did see him haul Patches ]

[enkiboo]

[ It is an earnest compliment for sure. ]

Okay, if you say so.

[ But, just like that, they see he's able to keep up just fine. Not many people can, for that matter, and so that adds to the fun of it all; even better when he's going with the flow with ease. ]

Stronger than everyone here under normal circumstances. But, right now, good enough. Maybe it's because I'm not human either way.

1/2

[linearcrash]

[ As long as he doesn't think about it, Nine can keep up.

Giving a whistle though. ] I'd like to see how strong you are. You know, whenever we figure out where our powers went.

[linearcrash]

[ Wait. ] Huh? You're not human?

[enkiboo]

[ There's a pause, and there is something in their expression that is a little...different, in what way, it is hard to tell, but it dissipates soon enough. ]

When [ if ] we regain our abilities, I'll be very happy to show you.

[ They do sound please at the thought, though. ]

...That's right. Oh, I suppose I forgot to tell everyone else that too. I'd been assuming everyone already knew, since I was used to that, so it didn't occur to me to mention it before.

[linearcrash]

[ You have to keep that winning when-ing attitude, yo! ]

Hells yeah. I'll give you a bit of a show as well, hey.

[ Like it could be anything impressive to Enkidu. ]

Huh. Suppose that would explain why you seem so unreal, yo. [ In a good way. ] What even are you? A deity or something?

[enkiboo]

[ Always!! ]

Now I'm really curious. Hmm, what a shame, us getting overly excited when such things are still a bit far out for us to grasp.

[ Enkidu is so curious and figures it can't be too terrible. Though at the question, they look amused. ]

If I said I was the biggest nature deity around who is normally all-powerful, would you believe me?

[linearcrash]

Nothing wrong with a little excitement. It'll give us something to look forward to after all of this, right?

[ His eyes widen for a moment. ]

For real? I mean, I knew you would be something amazing, but didn't think you would be that huge. [ Also this would explain why he wants his feeties on the ground ]

[enkiboo]

It honestly will.

[ They continue to be amused at the response they receive, but they don't think it's a terrible thing at all. ]

I certainly can be. Literally and figuratively, one can even say.

It's not something most people would expect from looking at me.

[linearcrash]

[ After a moment, he'll try to change things up by spinning Enkidu! ]

I mean, yeah. You seem pretty small, but I've seen you carry Patches off. [ Baldr. ] Reminds me of an Eidolon. They can be different sizes and are super strong.

[enkiboo]

[ Enkidu allows themselves to be spun around! Yay! ]

Oh, I remember you mentioned those before...

I suppose my existence can be somewhat compared to them. But I wouldn't cause trouble to whoever happened to be my Master, for the most part.

1/2

[linearcrash]

What if they like a little trouble?

2/2

[linearcrash]

[ Whoa whoa wait. Back up! ] What do you mean by happened to be your Master? [ They just said their existence can be compared. ] Can people summon you as well?
