[This wasn't home. This didn't smell or look anything like home. Where was the snow? Where were the trees? Where were those cloudy skies? Those mountains? And why was he surrounded by so many humans

[Riful is wandering along the streets and searching for her sword despite being very much lost herself. As a result of Namine's chip event, she's lost all her memories of the last thousand year or so, and is still under the impression that she works to protect humans instead of eating them.

However, her body hasn't changed. She won't smell like human, or rather, she doesn't only smell of human. This is not a good thing, since her scent would be... demonic, like a monster.]

[Commentlog! <3] WELL JEEZ THIS WILL GO WELL

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[The exact second he'd caught that scent in the air he'd frozen up and started shaking all over again. What was this? This wasn't anything he'd ever smelled before. It was worse than humans, worse than that herd of reindeer that abandoned him, worse than Lapan.

Even as he tried to stay still and quiet, he couldn't help that instinct to just run.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep himself still and quiet for long, and that impulse to flee was far too strong because he immediately left his hiding spot. He hoped he could escape fast enough without being noticed.]

[Commentlog! <3] FFF I KNOW RIGHT?

[nomnomguts]

[Movement, to the left. And years and years of carefully honed instincts, brutal training and killing after killing after killing take over.

She isn't number one for nothing, after all, and even in her most childish, friendliest state, her hands have always been stained with blood. Without hesitation, Riful darts forward in pursuit.]

[As he continued running, he couldn't stop wondering why he was stuck in his current size. He knew that he could change forms with that fruit he'd eaten and escaping would be a whole lot easier in his full reindeer form but no matter how hard he force himself he was still stuck in this small size.

This wasn't good. Chopper couldn't run any faster, and whatever was chasing him was going to catch up to him and then...

The distraction in thought was long enough to keep him from watching where he was going, and soon enough he'd tripped and fell to the ground face-first in a loud yelp.]

[Well it doesn't take THAT long for her thoughts to catch up with her actions, and Riful skids to a stop, wondering why she bothered running. She couldn't sense a single youma in this place, after all, and she was so much slower than she remembered before. It was-- disturbing. Strange beyond words.

Not far ahead, the little figure she'd pursuit stumbled, and fell right over before her startled gaze. Riful frowned, squinting ahead.

Oh?

Well, what was this?

And she'll just stand over Chopper, trying to figure out... what the heck is this little brown thing with antlers?]

[Commentlog! <3]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[He'd tried to scramble away but it was no use. He was caught, and this was the end for him probably. It was a futile attempt but he tried to curl up upon himself, hovering his head with his hooves and waiting for what would come.

But maybe, being a talking monster would be able to help him for once? If she heard him talk, maybe it would confuse her long enough for him to escape. Yeah, that might work!]

L-Leave me alone! Go away, or I'll hurt you!

[Commentlog! <3]

[nomnomguts]

[A little brown TALKING thing with antlers. Riful just leans closer to inspect it, but she's a little amused by the threat.]

Goodness, you're much too small to do any lasting damage. [Matter of fact-ly] How very curious! Just what are you, anyway?

[Commentlog! <3]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Turning to sit up and glare as angrily as he can, Chopper yells back.]

Th-that's not my fault! You all did something to me and now I'm stuck like this! Otherwise, you wouldn't be saying that right now! ...and I'm a reindeer.

[Commentlog! <3]

[nomnomguts]

[Frown.]

That's not at all called for, you know. I certainly haven't done anything to you-- why, I didn't even know what you were. [Okay, and she... will reach out to sort of prod at an antler, gently. what are keeping your hands to yourself?]

[Commentlog! <3]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

That doesn't matter to me, you're still--

[Whoa wait who in the world said you could try to touch him? That prodding isn't going to last for very long because he's smacking that hand away then standing up quickly.]

Don't touch me!

[Commentlog! <3]

[nomnomguts]

[Gives him this look. Which while still very friendly nevertheless has a bit of a frightening edge to it. She can't help it okay?]

Aren't we touchy today? Oh very well, I'll keep my hands to myself. I was only curious, after all.

[Commentlog! <3]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[He's a reindeer. Like animal instincts would hide what's lying under that deceptively kind gaze?

Inching back a little, looking more than a bit afraid.]

I... I don't care, stupid hu-- whatever you are. Leave me alone. Don't you dare follow me.

[...she looks kind of sad. :<<]

What a thing to say. Perhaps this world isn't nearly so different after all.

[Commentlog! <3]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[lol like he cares if she's sad or not. You physically assaulted his antlers. 8|]

This world isn't my world. It's completely different, but if people are here then... I want to go home. I need to find out how to get back.
