Has anybody seen my friend N?

I haven't seen him all day, and I'm getting really worried. He's currently cursed, and he's able to shapeshift or something. He's probably in the form of a tiny little fox thing. Uh ... let me see if I can draw a picture of it.





Sorry, I'm not very good at drawing ... but I hope that gives enough of an idea. Anyway, please let me know if you have seen him?

[ She's actually freaking out about him being gone so long She has abandonment issues where he's concerned okay, he left her once--. Buuuut she's doing a good job of trying to keep that out of her message here. ]


( ooc: APPROVED BY N'S MUN: N is currently able to shapeshift into a Fennec Fox, and has been going around and pestering people, providing totally useless information and just being a jerk and a pain in the ass in general. If you want, feel free to have your character say they've seen him, or had an experience with him, say he's a jerk, etc, etc etc!

Edit: There's also a log for N!Fox shenanigans right over here if you want to play that out with him. )

What happened to N?

[ Because the kid is practically HOMRA now and well... that didn't look like him at all. ]

[ourlegends]

The curse happened. He's able to become a tiny furry thing now. He's been staying in that form for the past week or so, and he's been going out for a while every day, but today I haven't seen him at all ...

[ brb looking at that picture again. ]

Looks like a bunny.

[ourlegends]

I think it's more like a fox ... I just can't draw very well.

text;

[ignisinfernale]

[ Fox, huh. Yeah, okay. He'll buy that. Fox thing with huge rabbit ears. Sounds legit. ]

I'll take your word for it. If my boys see him, I'll let you know.

[ourlegends]

Thank you! Ah, I'm Hilda, by the way. You're a friend of N too, right?

text;

[ignisinfernale]

[ Friends? He guesses so. Comrades would be closer. ]

Yeah. Name's Mikoto.

[ourlegends]

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Mikoto. And thank you again for your help.

I got a tip from someone saying that they saw him in the park, so I'm going to head over there now.

text;

[ignisinfernale]

Figures he'd be there. I'll go take a look later. If we see him in the city, we'll drop you a line.

[ourlegends]

Okay. Thanks again, Mr. Mikoto.

[radiantwingedone]

colors would be pale with hints of green?

try park area. attempted to trip by winding around ankles while walking.

[ He means that the fox attempted to trip him while he was walking, but texting. and he's really... not interested in more correct sentence structure. ]

[ourlegends]

Yes, that's him! He's in the park? I'll look there again, thank you!

...

And I'm sorry that he tried to trip you. He's not usually like this, I promise.

[radiantwingedone]

no problem.

reminds me of way over affectionate cats seek attention.

[ourlegends]

I don't know if that's exactly what N's mindset is with that, to be honest ... then again, it's hard to know what his mindset is even when he's not cursed.

[radiantwingedone]

is that not generally how it is? he is not you, to know exactly his thoughts would be odd

[ourlegends]

That's true. Sometimes you can have a general idea though.

[radiantwingedone]

alternative features tends to do that. although have noticed tails might be mood indicators, with ears.

[ourlegends]

N isn't always a cute furry thing though ...

[ Wait. Yes he is. He's just a different kind of cute furry thing. ]

[radiantwingedone]

then it is familiarity with human facial expressions otherwise.

[ourlegends]

Sounds about right.

I'm going to head over to the park now. Hopefully I'll find him and bring him home before he causes any more people to trip over him ...

[radiantwingedone]

I did not actually fall, but perhaps there are those with less balance.

good luck.

[ourlegends]

Thank you. For your help and for the luck.

[p2iioniicii2t]

IIf II see your fox/hopbeast friiend, II wiill be sure two iinform you.
As he iis only recently empowered, hiis absence iis probably not somethiing you need two worry about.
He may siimply be takiing thiis opportuniity two enjoy hiis new form.

[ourlegends]

I guess ...

Thank you. I'm just worried.

[p2iioniicii2t]

II have sympathiies for your concerns.

IIs he not prone two such iimpulsiive behaviiors?

[ourlegends]

He can be impulsive sometimes, but he made me a promise. The curse changed him in some ways. It's weird, hard to explain.

[p2iioniicii2t]

If he iis more of an aniimal, then he would be pursuiing hiis iinstiinctiive functiion.
At the end of thiis week, he wiill return two a form that iis responsiible for hiis actiions.

[ourlegends]

I'm still worried.

[mysterious_groper]

Wait. Curse?

[ourlegends]

You know how sometimes this city has curses that affect people in weird ways?

[ Hilda, dear, not everyone who replies to things on the network is free of curse. ]

[mysterious_groper]

... Sounds like one of the standard plots of the Fodrans. And Emeraude.

[ourlegends]

Fodrans? Emeraude?

[ She's almost there. Just a little more and she'll realize you're cursed, too! ]

[mysterious_groper]

The enemies of myself and the Starfish Rangers, respectively.

[ourlegends]

[ O ... h ... well then. Now it was clear. This was a cursed one. Hilda sighs, behind the SFC. ]

I see ... I should find N before anything happens to him, right?

[ Just play along, Hilda. Plaaaaay along. ]

[mysterious_groper]

Well, if he can turn into a fox, he's got a superpower, which usually means he's fine!

Unless this is one of those comics from like two decades ago. Then he might get offed if he's not a big name around here.

[ourlegends]

I'm still worried.

[mysterious_groper]

Don't be. Focus on finding him, and keep yourself safe.

[ourlegends]

Will do. Thanks.

[lovedbyflowers]

Oh dear...

Perhaps he'll come home when he's hungry? Animals tend to do that.

[ourlegends]

He didn't seem to enjoy being home ... something happened to him when he got cursed. He remembers me, but ... he doesn't remember me at the same time. It's hard to explain.

[ Hilda can't explain things, episode 01. ]

[lovedbyflowers]

I see...

Do you know of any places he likes to frequent then? Perhaps he's there.

[ourlegends]

I don't know. The plaza or the park would be my guess, but he's a tiny furry animal at the moment. He could hide himself really well if he wanted to.

And I think he really wants to.

[lovedbyflowers]

Well, the park would be a good place for a tiny animal to hide! And the flowers would be able to help me find him!

[ourlegends]

I've been told to check the park, I think I'm going to do that.

... What do you mean by the flowers helping you?

[lovedbyflowers]

That's a good idea!

Because I can communicate with them.

[ourlegends]

Communicate with flowers?

... Maybe you should meet N and talk with him when all of this blows over. You both have something in common. Kind of.

[lovedbyflowers]

Yes, I can.

Oh? He can too? I've never met anyone else who could before!

[ourlegends]

Actually, it's more that you both can talk with things that most people can't. He talks with pokemon.

[ and she is now realizing that she's pretty much revealed herself. Whoops. ]
