"Kubo! Did you take my chocolate?!.....AGAIN?!", Anna called out, the sound carrying down the long hallways. "Come on Kubo, you can't hide forever! I was a champion of hide and seek before...well...the incident. So I'd just admit defeat now and fess up!"

Hey, friends! Here’s a randomized list of blogs for everyone to check out if you haven’t already. It’s important to give everyone the opportunity to meet others in the RPC, and in my opinion, these folks have a lot to offer. To those tagged, I apologize if you do not appreciate the mention.

@origcmibird​ - surprise starter

There is the strangest sensation that she *knows* this boy. His magic is hauntingly familiar, yet if she racks her cloudy memories, she cannot see his face or that red kimono anywhere. Not in the mountain of her youth, nor in that strange, cold and alien place of her dreams.

Kaguya-hime had been running for far too long. Ever since she escaped her coming-of-age banquet, found her mountain home occupied by another family... She had kept running. She wouldn’t dare return to the capital, wouldn’t dare face her parents after the stunt she had pulled.

Her once beautifully tied hair was in ruins, disheveled down the length of her white kimono and red hakama. Ribbons and pins still cling to the snarled hair. Her make-up had been washed away. To anyone staring, they probably would think she was a child-bride who had fled from her wedding.

Her tattered, bloodied feet finally slow as she collapses in the snow on the edge of the village, her last vision being that of the one-eyed boy.

Two beings born on the Moon...Would meet.

     “ I MEAN, IT WOULDN’T BE HARD to pass you off as a bard... ”  man, plotting disguises for kids just gets HARDER AND HARDER, doesn’t it? it’s certainly a chore, but on the other hand, she knows she can’t just let some human kid run around the boiling isles UNPREPARED. eda taps her chin thoughtfully for a few minutes, shifting her weight from one foot to the next. just as the wait becomes unbearable, she snaps her fingers.

     “ okay, here’s your deal. if anyone asks, you’re a student on the bard track, waiting to enroll at hexside  —  ugh  —  and you’re from the knee. any questions? ”  

     oh  —  “ and you’ll need some kind of disguise for your ears. ”  she gestures to the pointed ends of her own.  “ those little nubs make you stick out like a sore thumb! ”

In A Blink

⚔️ For @origcmibird ⚔️

The new morning sun warmed Mei’s back. It took all of her strength to to push herself up off the hard ground with a whimper. Bright eyes fluttered for a moment, squinting at the intense brightness of the light shining down on her. Reaching a hand up, she pushed her glasses up to rub at her eyes and let them adjust so she could finally look around. The orange trees, the hills and the stream, the distant bustling village... This wasn’t her temple.

Mei’s eyes widened and she darted up, shrugging off the soreness in his limbs and staggering toward the settlement. She leaned against the entrance of the gate, looking around with wide eyes. Easy, Lee. This is no time to panic. She didn’t recognize any of the faces that were passing by her. She didn’t recognize their clothing or their homes. She squinted a bit, noticing the paper lanterns and the festivities. Old Japanese traditions. Maybe she ended up in a different area on Ontario and didn’t realize it? The more she looked around though, the less sure of that she could be.

As Mei pressed on through the village, she kept her hands close to her chest, observing everything with great interest; equal parts fear and curiosity. She didn’t know this place, and she knew that with her own ceremonial wear she must be standing out like a sore thumb. She paused for a moment in the middle of the town square, jumping and startling a bit as she felt someone bump into her from behind. She quickly turned around, sparing the boy a nervous glance and a quick, “excuse me- I’m sorry!”

@origcmibird​ inquired – “Airin, it is past midnight, why are you doing this?”

     The Felicid’s body is WRIGGLING beneath several sheets. In fact, all this cloth has appeared to be stolen. Not that the horrid beast cared. Some more wriggling and his nose appears first, and soon his head pops from under the sheets.

    “ Because I have to burrow! ” It’s instinctual. And the dirt around here was too hard, and the sands near the water’s edge was too gritty. The next best thing? Cloth! “ I’ll freeze to death and die if I don’t! ”

The feather of Anna’s quill tickled the tip of her nose, a pleasant yet minor distraction from the mass of paperwork that lay at the table’s edge. If only Elsa had warned her beforehand that the amount of paperwork to look over would be great...Anna may have reconsidered taking on the position of Queen.

With a long sigh, the monarch picked up a random piece of parchment, folding the corners as if she knew what she was doing, her heart gradually growing heavy with sorrow as the memory of Kubo danced within her mind. It had been so long since she last saw him....she prayed he was alright...

“Oh! Another human being like me! What...what are you running from?” Anne questioned the other with a hint of concern. Although, in Amphibia, there are creatures that should be avoided at all times. She seemed a bit bewildered.

“Uh, Anne...I think we should get ready to run just in case.” Sprig pointed out, seeming a bit anxious but at the same time, brave. Bravery is only a front that Sprig puts up with.

@origcmibird​ said ; " HEY, IT'S OKAY! " He gently opens up his hands, having cupped them around and shielded the tiny thing from an animal that had been pestering it. He peers with his one eye down at his find curiously, before lowering his hand to the ground. " I won't hurt you. "

The insistence goes unheard over a fresh round of battering at the human’s palms with a tiny umbrella. The notion that he’s being ungrateful doesn’t once cross his mind; birds are persistent and dangerous, but at least they’re a target you can hit, out there in the open. Humans are different. Jiminy would take the birds to being trapped any day, no question.

“Okay!?” He sounds incredulous, either because he doesn’t believe him or because he’s simply offended, being talked down to like he’s a frightened animal ( never mind that he is, in fact, both frightened and an animal ). A deep breath follows, in full preparation for quite a bit of shouting - but the kid’s in luck, because Jiminy doesn’t get the chance before his palms open and his argument dies in his throat.

Chest heaving, the cricket glances over his shoulder every which way, trying to regain his bearings and simultaneously studying the sky. Empty, predictably. As tenacious as birds may be, they don’t tend to linger long when there’s bigger critters about.

He ought to be thankful for that, but instead he takes it as a welcome opportunity to leap to the ground before he’s even properly lowered down to it, hopping a short distance away to pat himself down and straighten out his jacket. It’s a few moments before he looks sideways at the kid again. In retrospect, yes, he probably has warranted at least a thank you. But it’s hard, sometimes, for Jiminy to open his mouth and not try to start an argument.

“I didn’t think you would,” he says indignantly. It might be a lie. ( It’s definitely a lie ). “But how do you expect a fella to react when you go’n grab ‘em off of the street like that? Honestly!”

@origcmibird​  asked: " MASTER HOWL! CALCIFER burnt me again! " He whines indignantly. All Kubo had wanted was to prepare breakfast for himself and his housemates. " Tell him to stop, sir! I have to eat something. "

∘⡊ ️‍ ˚⊹               Aah .. the familiar calls and bickers reaches his ears before the young ward would come for his attention. A lively morning already. Good thing he managed to drop a precise amount of witch hazel abstract into the brew before he could be distracted. They’d have a lot more to worry about. But time to heed this call --

“ Calcifer, I told you to be polite to our new guest while he’s staying with us. ” He sounded down the hall from the alchemy room while he gently looked over Kubo’s burn. There was another wail about ‘I’m not a stove!’ and ‘He clatters the iron pan around too much!’. Typical. He had to suppress a snicker so he doesn’t look insincere with Kubo’s ailment. 

“ None to worry, Kubo. Calcifer’s burns are more curse then physical though it feels like it. Bear with me for a moment, it might sting. ” Easy for him to cure with a gentle press of hands. A little concentration and a cooling sensation passes through his fingers to lift the singe from his skin. “There. Thank you for being brave. How does it feel? ”

[stcries]

despite still missing MOST of his senses,  the teen still knew how dangerous the world could be.   where you wouldn’t expect them to be,  demons and monsters lurking in the depths,  waiting to POUNCE when you least expected it   ...

walking through the forest with his new travel companion,  whilst relaxing at first,  hyakkimaru’s footsteps were quick to STOP dead,  glass eyes staring into the distance before unsheathing BLADED arms.   sure enough,  out came something gnarly,  rushing the pair but quickly fell to the ground after one swift  SLICE.

then,  just as if it didn’t happen,  wooden covering is slipped back onto the blade,  turning towards the younger and giving a small NOD before continuing to walk forward.

It’s just a little giggle at first. Almost like the wind. Then it gets louder, louder, louder, and more joyful, as it gets closer to Kubo. Until suddenly it’s on top of him. The space is empty until a blink later, a young boy appears right in front of the other. With a great big smile on his face.

“KUBO!!!!” The being, floating in midair, says with an excited laugh. “Wow!! You’re so much bigger than the last time I saw you! Your mom wouldn’t let me play with you, but we can play now! What games do you like? I like almost every game. You should pick first!”

@origcmibird​ - amaterasu - s.c. 

Okay, maybe she was a bit over her head. But Amaterasu was a proud beast, and she had been issued a challenge. By the gods, she was going to win this challenge!

And what was the goal? Well, one of the resident dogs of the Sun Village had claimed that Ammy could not dig up all the radishes in the old crone’s field in under three minutes. Especially that big, giant monstrous radish that was the woman’s pride and joy.

Even for all of her goodnatured-ness, Amaterasu had a mischievous streak a mile wide.

That’s where Kubo would find the snowy wolf-- covered in dark dirt, digging for her life to get as many radishes as she could out of the ground, all while dodging the mighty fist of the crone who was rightfully upset over her crops being harvested by a dog.

     “ THAT DEPENDS  — ”   TYRANT-CHILD HOLDS THE suspiciously-shaped yellow object to his chest, peering over turned shoulder at kubo. he squints.  “ are you a snitch? and. . . ”

     it’s totally soap. never taking his eyes off the kid, king raises his arms up and takes a little nibble from the side of his maw.  “ are you gonna tell eda? ”

@origcmibird​: "Check what?"

        “Check this perfect picture I got of a Guardian.” Or four. All red beams set on the Hylian in the photo while he smiled away the danger. They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, this one’s worth a lot of questions.

@origcmibird​ asked: "So like, you're a kirin, or some sort of spirit, or what?"

     “A kirin?” she stifles a laugh, finding humor in anyone mistaking her for something like her friend, Autumn Blaze.

     “Shoot no! I don’t got that kinda temper in me to be a kirin. I’m an earth pony, plain and simple.”
