[eyebrowsonfire]

[In spite of his amazing victory at the grocery store (and don't fool yourselves into thinking it was a loss, he accomplished exactly what he wanted!), Aku is on the prowl. This is not unusual in itself, as Aku has often take to moving about the village and forest to find things of interest. But after releasing one of his playthings, he's looking

[On this overcast day which is naturally still quite wet as a result of the rain on previous days, this princess asks you what better is there to do than to... jump in puddles! She'll be doing that despite her age and such, so what form will dear Aku have as he passes her?]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[A little too close to the village. Ah, but perhaps she will follow that perfectly normal frog jumping off into the woods.]

[hazelrink]

[Oh, a frog! That thing looks cute, so she might try to pursue that. She seems to recall there was some story about good things happening when you kissed frogs, so maybe this would be the same?]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[This frog will definitely do something if you catch it! But now it's getting a good ways from the village. But its never hopping too far away...]

[asmilethatkills]

[Welp, there's a little kid walking around with a bag of goodies from the bakery. He looks happy...what will Aku do?]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[Why he's going to stalk him, of course. As a perfectly normal looking (and normal sized) mantis on a roof building. The plaza is far too busy.]

[asmilethatkills]

[Derp, he won't even notice the little mantis then. He is leaving the plaza though, crossing the bridge and heading southward. All the while, he's eating a freshly baked sweet bun.]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[As Selim heads into the less populated area of the village, he may notice that Aku is now performing Pride's favorite trick. A creeping, shadowy darkness is maneuvering its way through the street, engulfing the rocks and puddles in between.]

[goldenglasses]

[Your favorite idiot is out in the forest today Aku - do you follow him or ignore the classified moron? Right now he's just headed out looking to move away from the village.]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[Vash had better be careful, because some of those puddles in the woods might be a little darker and blacker than the others.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is still a derp who likes the water, he has been splashing through some of the bigger puddles - but he actually avoids some of the darker ones. Not sure why, but they're just unsettling to him. Maybe he's not a total moron?]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[After Vash passes up some of the darker ones, they'll actually begin following him from behind. Of course, were he to look back, they'd return to being normal puddles.]

[mikangirl]

[There's a Nami. Heading for the library, because she doesn't do that 'walk into forest alone' thing. :|]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[Ah, his favorite minion. When she starts into the library, a small innocuous spider will enter as well and follow her along on the ceiling.]

[mikangirl]

[Your only minion, you mean. The tired Nami notices no such spider and instead starts perusing shelves in the geography section. It's truly very exciting. Unless she's interrupted, she'll eventually select a book called Little Garden with a small huff of satisfaction.]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[Suddenly there's a very normal looking man behind Nami. Except... you know, as normal as a face like that can be. He's not trying too hard.]

Ah, minion Nami. So very hard at work, I see.

[courageofheart]

[Mrs. Brisby will be out today, herself, foraging at the edge of the village for food.]

[eyebrowsonfire]

[... a mouse. With wings. Well this is just too easy.

A big scary mantis (at least for her) with flaming eyebrows now blocks her path. What does she do?]

[courageofheart]

A-ah!

[She steps back a bit, surprised, but...]

H-h-hello... um... uh...

[eyebrowsonfire]

[Talk? What could Aku possibly want to talk to a mouse for? He's just bored and rodents are such awful conversationalists. So it'll just loom on in, swinging those big forelegs threateningly.

And maybe breathe some fire too, for the theatrics of it.]
