New leaf

The latest chapter of Wukong's crime spree is set...at a bookstore?

Yes, one of Union's greatest pests as you watch, goes into the bookstore, looks at a bunch of books, picks one with some fancy cover art (Some kind of pulp action story with a picture of a man with a sword fighting a gyarados while a blond lady in a torn dress clings to his leg as she cowers behind him on the cover.), then goes up to the counter and pays for it with money. He almost looks embarrassed to do it.

Agreeing to do things by the rules doesn't mean agreeing to do things the way humans do. Once he's done, he grips the bag with his purchase with his tail and scrambles up the side of the building. Wukong can be found scrabbling along the side of towers or jumping between rooftops as he makes his way across the city of Union. Ground level is so boring, but up here he can almost pretend like this is the jungle he left behind!

Training

[flying_chains]

Who: Morgiana, Chie Satonaka
What: Fighting and bonding training!
Where: A clearing just outside the city walls
When: Mid-afternoon on a sunny day
Warning: Nothing to worry about here. Just cute.

Once upon a time, Morgiana had met another Fanalis. He hadn't spoken much, because that sort of fraternization was discouraged where she had come from, but he had taught her the basics of how to fight in a way that no normal human could manage. Once she had the basics down, he had been sent away, but it had been enough for her purpose.

Now, hundreds of miles away and years later, Morgiana was going to try and teach someone else what she knew. She had no idea of a non-Fanalis COULD do the things she could, but she was going to give it a shot.

So she stood patiently in a clearing just beyond the walls of Union. The ground was hard packed earth with a few patches of grass, the walls were still visible over the treetops, and there were a few large rocks lying around. She had told Chie when to arrive, but had arrived fifteen minutes early herself. In her old life tardiness had been discouraged, and old habits died hard.

III ϟ [Action]

[Jason sits with his back to a low wall in the Habitat. His eyes are closed and he appears to be relaxing. He rests, however, with a large egg in his lap. He can feel something in it stirring and he's pretty sure it's going to hatch at any moment. It's kind of exciting to say the least and he wished for the 100th time that his mom hadn't been off on a delving exploration now.

A Fletchinder, Piper, is perched on the wall on one side of Jason and a Castform, Storm, hovers in the distance. Storm twirls in the breeze occasionally but is mostly in her own little world. Piper, meanwhile, is staring intently at the egg as if she's willing it to hatch with her mind.

As if on cue there's a loud CRACK and Jason's eyes jerk open. He looks down.]

It's hatching! I...what do I do?

[He looks up at Piper questioningly and suddenly a little panicked. Piper huffs and flutters down to Jason's shoulder. She nips his ear affectionately and it's clear she wants him to pay attention. You don't do anything idiot, just watch it hatch.

Is anyone else interested in the show?]
