[ anyway there are so many people which means he is mostly sticking with will, but he is kind of watching the people most familiar to make sure everything is good.
also this weird shadow thing seems to be perched on his shoulder and staring at the group with white glowing eyes. this was a Choice. ]
[ the creature stare at albedo. it's cat-like in appearance, even though it looks like it's made of shadows. but it does chirrup in greeting and allows for pets! it feels like touching smoke though, despite being sort of solid.
what kind of sweets. important question.
nico, meanwhile, is glancing at it out of the corner of his eye to see what it's doing and letting albedo get close enough. ]
[ he has some konpeito candies that he swiped from the konbini! does that work as a successful bribe.
that said he looks extremely enamoured by shadow cat creature and will very gently pet them although maybe offering scritches is a little hard since they're somewhat slightly smoky. ]
Do they have a name?
[ this is directed at nico, mostly curious more than anything. ]
[ it does! mostly because this is a greedy creature and it means it's carefully opening its mouth to reveal glowing white teeth before snatching the candy. at least it's not taking albedo's fingers?
and nico sort of snorts. the sentiment of the gesture seems to get across though since there's a noise almost like a purr. ]
Sort of. [ he does not really want to admit that its actual name is shame. ] There's a few of them at home, so we've been calling them Cocoa Puffs. [ thus this is a singular cocoa puff. ] I think a few people have picked out names for them on their own, and they seem to respond to all of them. I can't tell if it's because they understand or if they don't notice the difference as long as they're being spoken to.
[ the puff immediately coos curiously. hello temenos, how are you on this lovely fucked up thursday!! nico gives him a slight smile though and a once-over. ]
Hey yourself. You look a little more lively, at least.
[ he's got that revive skill or something. ] Besides, after I nearly had a remedy or three shoved down my throat, it would be ill-fitting of me to be down and out.
[ everyone was so nice. he reaches out to offer his good hand to cocoa puff. ]
Good to know. [ genuinely. he is getting really sick of this shit happening to people actually. ] We're going to have to restock for next week then if these are going to continue coming back with more and more damage.
[ the puff will gently boop into temenos' hand with another friendly chirp. enjoy smoke pets, even if it somehow fluffs itself up a little bigger. ]
[ he's sticking a hand in her hoodie to beep soot's nose. be nice. ]
For better or worse, right? [ uggggh. ] Maybe this week...it'll only be one person. [ considering...everyone's powers are absolutely scrambled eggs rn. ]
It's fine. I'm sure there was a good reason for it. [ Let's change topics before anyone asks. ] Who is this with you? I didn't know you had a demon for a friend.
[ he is more than happy to drop it, thank you. the puff chirps as if to say "who, me?" like cats do when you pay attention to them. ]
It's a bit of a recent friendship, really. All of their siblings are still back at camp, but for some reason this one was here when I woke up. Cocoa Puff, Rabbit. Rabbit, Cocoa Puff.
[ he does not need to clarify that this is shame. it's cocoa puff only. ]
Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting you haven't properly met. [ funny considering the puff hides in nico's hood so often. the shadow creature does seem to recognize danny for that reason so there's a curious and friendly chirrup before it allows for pets. enjoy your smoke-touch. ]
Not that I have any further understanding why only one of them came with us, but...it hasn't been bad either.
[ i will say that it's likely danny will get bored petting it before it does because they do like being around people possibly more than nico does at any given moment. ]
I think it was at first, but I try to bring them with me when I can, and if they're not with me, sometimes they're with Will. [ the puff chirps at will's name. ] The only time I leave them for long periods of time is Saturdays, but usually they keep themselves pretty occupied by chasing bottlecaps and trying to shred some of my socks. [ there are small, needle-like clawsies attached to this smoke cloud. ]
[ the puff flicks its ears at saya with a little chirrup. hewwo. ]
Yeah. Sometimes I have to fight them for my own food. [ it's kind of a joke but also not really. ] I think we're still learning what sort of stuff they like.
[ the puffs are all very funny canonically so yeah, it does in fact kind of inch closer like it would sniff if it were a cat and had a nose. it is examining her hand, but also staring at her? pet please. ]
Will and I brought back a ton of vending machine food the first weekend so I could get my clothes back. They seem to like sweets a lot? Pancakes were one of the first meals they had. [ there's a grin. ] I do know they don't like the hot cheetos though.
