Hey everyone Fibby here!
I'm doing the Art Thread again so let's get started!
Discussion What do you think about this month's CI?
Do you like the art?
Who is your favorite character & why?
Recognize any of the artist's work that worked on the artwork?
It's time for a neighborhood event unlike any other! The biggest block party of the year is about to go down at the Occult de Sac, and now's the chance to meet the neighbors! Keep your wits about you because who can say what sorts of spooks and souls you might encounter? Let's go!
You're pretty sure you can't be seeing things right when you find yourself face to face with Ursula the witch...and what looks to be a small army of teddy bears alongside her. There's no doubt about it— that's exactly what you're seeing. What's more, the sly smile on Ursula's face is less than reassuring.
"What's the matter? You look like you could die of fright! Well, if you do die, then I'll be sure to make you a part of my bear army. Just. Like. The. Others~"
When you leave the block party, take care to keep an eye out for anything that might cause an...unfortunate accident.
"Oi! You there! What are you doing? Where are you from? Who invited you?!" You'd been warned about Oniki, the fearless neighborhood leader of sorts, but no one warned you about the fact that she was so...small. Nonetheless, you can feel her charging toward you from the distance, and you preemptively step back at the sight of the massive bat over her shoulder. "You better have brought food to share with everyone! That's the rule!"
You breathe a sigh of relief when you offer up a plate of steak and she takes it gleefully. You'll be sure to thank the friend who gave you the heads up when you see them next.
As soon as you spot the werehyena from across the street you feel intimidated. He's buff, rough, tough, and looks like he's ready to start a fight despite appearing like he'd just been in one. However, as soon as he spots you, he grins with a hand outstretched.
"Hey, name's Loel! I ain't seen you around here before. You new to the neighborhood? Were you from?"
He howls at his own joke, all the while shaking your hand in a surprisingly tight grip. You're glad you seem to be on his good side and you hope that doesn't change in the future.
"Excuse me." You turn around, but find no one there. Confused, you turn back around. "If it's not too much of a bother, will you please step aside? You're blocking the path to the pastries." This time, you look down and notice a small creature standing near you. The first thing that grabs your attention are the two mouths on her head, neither of which are where you would normally expect chompers to be. The second are the bits of candy and pastry being held by her... hair? Or are those claws?
Wary, you step aside. Better yet —you hand her the whole platter of donuts. Immediately upon sighting a third mouth, you turn tail and leave before you lose a ladyfinger.
You're not sure if you ran into Sik or if he ran into you. One way or another, you can feel the breath leave your body a second time when the kamaitachi stares you down. And then a third when you spot the blade in his hand.
"Careful there, yeah? Wouldn't want to knick that pretty skin of yours."
Before you can process the words, Sik vanishes. Stupefied, you give yourself a moment to collect your thoughts and then move on.
Just how narcissistic would it sound if I said I both identify with Loel's personality/looks and also want to be his friend and maybe take him out on a three-way date with my gf but like in a totally platonic and heterosexual way... yeah sure?
Okay, well, let's just say I want him to roughhouse me.
No? No, that's not very acceptable either.
Just let me touch his fuzz.
I have a similar poncho IRL.
IT'S REALLY COZY.
PONCHOS ARE COZY.
I have a poncho too but it's red and black and made of wool AND IT ITCHES LIKE ******** and it also doesn't have two oversized buttons for me to toy around with >:^(
