[This roleplay is complete, though feel free to post any ending posts if you were in it~] Whose idea was this again?
Stop. Heel. Stay. Cam. CAM. STOP.
After at least an hour of struggling with a leash while keeping her minipet's tentacles from their attempts to latch onto her skull, Riley had finally managed to take her pet Cthulhu out for a walk. This was an auspicious event, primarily because the Cthulhu had previously never exhibited any behavior indicating that it wanted to be walked, or do much of anything other than attempt to devour it's owner. But it seemed restless lately, and it did not immediately latch on to Riley's hand the last time she had reached in to feed it, so Riley felt it was time to give it some fresh air.
This had been a mistake.
The moment the Cthulhu had touched the grass outside, it had begun sprinting as fast as the leesh would let it - dragging Riley forcefully behind it. For something so small, it had quite the dragging power.
CAM PLEASE. She barely managed not to trip as she ran behind it, but with every quickened step and slack of the leash the Cthulhu felt, it would just run that much faster.
It was headed for a tree, finally managing to arrive at it's destination and attempt to scramble up the large deadwood trunk. It was almost cute, the way it miserably failed at this task. However, it gave Riley a moment to catch her breath.
Why did I think for one second that taking you out on a walk was a good idea..
It screed at her angrily, as if to say STOP QUESTIONING MY FREEDOM AND GIVE ME A BOOST UP THIS TREE SO THAT I MAY EAT THAT BIRD.

There was a soft thunk sound when something hit the trunk of the tree and ricocheted off of the trunk to roll out from behind it. It was a little difficult to tell what it was, but it kind of looked like a worn, dirty doll's head. A huffing bark sound proceeded a purple-accented Hazmutt running up and snatching up the head before it looked at the student and her pet. The mutt's ears flicked back and it dropped the toy.
"Maggie, what's u-..." Julian came jogging up only to stop by his dog and blink at the other student.
"Uh, hi." He'd taken Maggie out to get some exercise since she'd been cooped up in his room mostly since he'd come to school and unlike the others who either didn't need outdoor exercise, she was too big to run about his room and didn't have the wings to just fly out the window on their own. He should have figured he'd run into another student, but it never really occurred to him that someone else would be doing the same thing.

In retrospect, Elaphe should have realized that the the whole 'let's take our pets out for a walk' thing absolutely couldn't end well, period. Sure, Nosi wasn't cogent enough to try devouring his brain even if she wanted to, and Donner just seemed too concerned with every other sight and sound and Strange New Thing to bother, but that failed to help the Nguruvilu's mood.
Stuck walking what was essentially a sparkly unicorn and the embodiment of brainless yule-tide JOY on jingling leashes, he felt like one of those manly guys walking a pair of of their girlfriend's little prissy dogs... and considering how both creatures came up to at mid-belly in this form, he looked like a ten year old dragging St. Bernards.
The best he could do was keep his head held high and pretend he was totally in command of the Dynamically Dumb Duo, glancing behind him as, once AGAIN, he felt Donner's (bell laden) line get taut, and was forced to impart some words of... encouragement... to the Reigndeer.
"... Come on, Donner. Nothing's going to get you. I..." He hesitated there, ears twitching in some attempt to make sure NO ONE was in earshot. "... I promise. You'll get used to i-- H-HEY! WHOA! WHOA!"
Unfortunately the encouragement had worked a little too well-- or rather, some distant roaring monster had frightened Donner to the point that he bleeted and took off at a DEAD RUN through the yard...
... and there was a helpless student at the end of his lead being dragged across the lawn, cussing and swearing and begging for him to stop, with a very entertained sparkling Kirinni just prancing along in tow like it was the best game ever.
Needless to say, it was quite a sight.

Precious shrieked in protest at the creature trying to scramble up her tree, flaring her wings out and sending a few molting feathers out all over the place. The corrividus ruffled unhappily as it moved about it's perch, watching the offending creature(s?) with two of it's beady glowing eyes, head turned to watch them more carefully.
At least until it's shrieks and caws of protest were answered by another shrieking noise... or at least what could be equated for a shrieking howl. Apparently, shrieking ran in the family or something..even if the howl from the canid who approached the tree and looked up it with nearly matching glowing eyes seemed to be disapproving more of the bird's location than the bird was of something trying to scramble up it's tree.
"Get down here, you." she spoke, her maw moving in an unmatching sync to her words, ears flickering back. Fortunately, however, Shehk was not to be mistaken for another pet after the incident with all of the snow. She'd changed back and forth to this body oh so much, anybody taking her as a pet would have likely been bitten.
The bird shrieked back at her, causing the lupine student to shake out her coat of fur before shifting; a process much quicker and less painful than it had been in the land of Christmas-hell. The Pricolici then held up one arm as a perch, the corrividus happily taking it over the tree, though it did shriek (right in Shehk's ear, ow..) at Riley and her little green-mutant-creature-that-was-trying-to-eat-it.
Shehk's ears flattened back.
"If only to spare my ears, I think I would appreciate if Precious went unharassed as much as she would like to remain uneaten..." she said, making a face which could be attributed to the fact she was now deaf in one ear and her head was ringing. Owww....

Cam stopped scratching up the trunk with it's tiny useless front limbs when it heard the thunk, and it flopped down on all fours to go inspect the noise. Before it could snatch up the doll head for its own, it found itself face to face with a little purple morsel. Unfortunately, it reminded Cam far too much of it's housemate, the purple hazmutt that Riley kept in her dorm. It was perhaps this similarity that kept it from trying to attack. Instead, one large milky eye twitched just slightly, before a thin liquidy membrane blinked over the eyeball for a moment.
Tentacles wiggled in the hazmutt's direction, as if to say come closer, let's see if you taste like grape.
Hello. Riley responded in a clear and friendly thought to Julian, though her attention was split between him and her pet. The leash was tight - she made sure not to give it enough slack in case it tried to make a dash for the hazmutt. Out for some exercise as well, I see?
Her attention was further split when a small student flew by, dragged by a pet. Since she had just experienced a similar event, she felt bad for the student, so that when he flew by her hand reached out and caught hold of the leash with one finger. She tugged it, hoping she had enough strength to stop the pet from dragging it's owner any further. It would be an abrupt pull, which might cause more harm than good, but at least she tried.
With her fingers still caught on the reigndeers leash, she blinked at Shehk's sudden shifting appearance. Of course. She responded with amusement. Nice to see you again, Shehk. I apologize for my pet's antics, I'm sure if it had known it was yours, it would have- Cam had all but abandoned staring at the hazmutt when the corrividus flew out of the tree, and it was currently humping Shehk's leg in an attempt to climb up her and get to the bird. Ah.. Riley blushed a deep purple. Cam was never going to be let out of the dorm again. Ever.

......
.................
.....................
The look on Shehk's face was quite hilarious as she looked down at the... thing on her leg, her brows knitting together as the gears in her head could probably be seen turning, as though she wasn't sure what was going on with the Cthulu. Minithulu? Whatever it was doing, she was making a shocked face at it. If her thoughts could be heard, the enormous OH MY GOD, IS IT DOING WHAT I THINK IT'S DOING would have been projected to everybody.
It took her a moment to stop making the horrified face, doing her best not to immediately shake her leg to try and fling the offender off of her, before looking to Precious, who was ruffled and molting all over in protest. Yay, molting!
"Okay, baby, let's see if we can deter it a little.." she mused, grabbing one of the molted pieces of feather off of her shoulder and leaning down to offer it (and not her fingers) to the creature who was now more intimate with her leg than anybody was with the rest of her (Cthulu - 1 Nukpana - 0). She'd have to assume the taste of rot would probably put it off.
Unless it was one of those things that thought ROT WAS DELICIOUS.
Like some European countries. Hmmm.
"Is that good enough for you, little guy?"

Things had gone from bad to worse as the friction of grating lawn literally ripped the Elaphe's skull bracelet from his wrist and, in a pop, the flopping student had become an even MORE tiny and helpless thing clinging to Donner's leash trail like a meaty windless kite. He didn't even notice that his voice had gone from a mostly androgynous maybe-male to that of an enraged chipmunk, too busy choking on grass and SCREECHING HALTS and trying not to have his arms ripped off t-- !!
He felt sudden stop jerk when Riley grabbed the reins (literally and metaphorically), as Donner froze in the whiplash, at least baffled enough to snap out of the desperate FLIGHT FROM DANGER... and proceeded to just stand there like a deer in headlights up at the 'creature' holding onto him. That... was a big... purple... tentacled thing person? It was sure a lot bigger than HIS person!
For a few seconds, Elaphe just laid there still in a gasping shock of his own when he finally stopped moving, twitching and stupefied, before he attempted to right himself a-- ... ...... ................ why was he so short again. WHERE WAS HIS BRACELET OH GOD HE WAS ONLY UP TO THESE PEOPLE'S SHINS.
"... Uh." Common courtesy should have prompted a 'thank you', but his manly ego was just hurting too much-- and it didn't help much when Nosi finally caught up and proceeded to give him a big, SLOPPY lick up the face. "I... uh... th-- H-HEY, NO, NOSI, BAD. S-Stop that!"
Apparently Nosy thought it was Opposite Day, because she proceeded to start grooming his back instead with her big, sparkly tongue despite his tiny claws ineffectionally shoving her nose away.
Why did this always happen to him in public? He couldn't even pay attention to laugh at the violation of Shehk's leg!

"Stay close, you two. I don't want you running off again." Junko said to her energetic foxes, watching as they pranced around her feet. She was careful not to step on them, especially when Sayuri wound around and through her legs mid-step. Gah! Why were they so energetic? Geeze! She was taking them out more since being cooped up in her room seemed to make them unhappy, and they had been especially upset and saddened by how she had just disappeared on them for her school trip. Junko was making it up to them. Kuro suddenly pounced on Sayuri who yipped squeakily and was sent to the ground, wriggling underneath the black fox as her ear was chewed on. Junko giggled and shook her head, putting her hands on her hips and waiting for them to finish with this round of play fighting. This was nice, just coming out with her precious foxes.
The commotion caught Junko's attention as well as the attention of her foxes, all three of them stopping what they were doing in time to see Riley, Shehk, Julian an unfamiliar boil...and all of their pets. What the? Was it take your pet out for a walk day? What really caught her attention was the look on Shehk's face, looking down to follow her gaze and see what she was so horrified by.
WHAT WAS THAT THING DOING TO HER LEG?!
Junko's eyes widened, just staring at the little tentacled thing that was all up on Shehk's leg. That...that was...that was so indecent and just...good sweet merciful Jack! Sayuri and Kuro had stopped their fighting, but not because of everyone else, they stopped because of all the other new potential playmates. They wanted to play with them. They would play with them. Sayuri took off first, bolting toward the group with a series of happy squeaks and yips and barks, running as fast as her little legs would take her. "Ah...Sayuri, wai--" And then Kuro took off. Junko frowned and hurried after them. Kuro decided he wanted to check out the larger gray and purple dog with the funny face. Sayuri? Sayuri wanted to play with tentacle-face. Junko sighed heavily and slapped the heel of her hand against her forehead, whining a little and closing her eyes. Whyyyy? She loved her foxes but wh--what the heck was that squeaking? It wasn't her foxes.
She opened her eyes to find a tiny angry creature nearby, blinking and just staring at it. Was...was that someone's pet? Despite being so angry it was kind of cute!

Cam was being offered something. Riley perked an eyebrow up, suitably impressed with Shehk's idea, and snorted in amusement when Cthulhu literally sucked the feather right out of her hand - and despite not being offered her fingers, managed to suck on them too. Thankfully, both Shehk and the feather were repellant to Cthulhu, and it started hacking the feather right back out after ingesting it. It liked LIVING flesh, thank you very much! Clever. Riley murmured to Shehk in admiration. Cam's interest in the bird disappeared in a snap, though there was so much around it at the moment that it didn't seem to disappointed. In fact, there was some kind of lovely purple piece of meat barrelling at it, and Cam scrambled towards it, leaping up with a screech. It landed somewhere just past Sayuri's back, and latched onto it's backside. There, that tasted much better, it got the rancid taste of dead flesh out of it's mouth tentacles.
There was a tiny thing attached to the other end of the reindeer's leash, and without really thinking about it Riley picked the leash up to let Elaphe hang dangling from it in front of her face. She reached out with one long finger, and tapped him, watching him sway back and forth at her touch. What.. what are you? She murmured curiously. Was this still the tiny student she'd seen a moment ago? It looked more like another pet than anything.

[[ slkdfkjslf I hope it's okay that I join this ; u; ]]
Ren was trying to sleep ("trying" being the operative word) under the shade of a lovely, wide-branched tree out on the front lawn of his school.
It was not working very well. This was mostly due to the fact that Rhys was attempting to tug one of his ears off (a slightly irritating, more painful, and quite impossible feat) and Felix kept squawking and ruffling his wings, batting Ren in the face - which was, to say the least, very annoying. Only Takashiro lay quietly and comfortably in Ren's lap, curled up into a small black pile of fur.
Although his tail kept whipping Ren in the arm. He'd thought it have been a nice gesture to take his pets out; after all, they spent most of their time up in his room with him, and the fresh air was a nice change, nice and relaxing.
A feather jabbed him in the cheek. A tiny claw poked his head.
"OW."
I should have just left them all at home, dammit all.
Ren apparently wasn't alone in his pet squabblings. As he attempted to pry Rhys from his head, the gryphon's gaze swept out across the front lawn, taking in several others having...issues...(what on earth was that Cthulu doing to that girl's leg, anyway?).
Rhys yanked on his ear again.
This was a really...REALLY bad idea...

Maggie let out a growl at the cthulhu when it had gotten too close to her, but a snap from Julian's fingers stopped that and she slipped closer to her master, bringing her toy with her to sit at his side. He gave her head a small scratch behind her ears.
And then Shehk ran up and retrieved her corrividus and... Julian's eyebrows rose slightly at the purple ghoul's pet and its actions. He was a little surprised Shehk didn't try nudging it away at least.
He felt bad for the new student, who'd apparently lost his pin and was now being licked to death by one of his two pets.
"Oh, uh, yeah, just a bit. She's too big to run about my room like my other pets," he replied to the purple ghoul's question in his head. It was a little unsettling to hear someone else's voice besides his own and copies of his family's advice up there.
So many students were showing up! He must have missed some memo or something. Maggie, on the other hand, seemed very pleased with this, as a fox came running up to her. Her ears flicked forward and her long tail thumped the ground behind her in greeting.

Having snapped out of his mindless flight, now, it seemed like poor Donner didn't know what to do with himself, so he just stood there, stiff legged, wide eyed, and jingling faintly as he quivered uncertainly in place. There were a lot of people and things here, and they were a lot more active and noisy than the ones he'd found Elaphe with! Still, at least he'd stopped his rampage, and that had to be a good thing, right?
Too bad Elaphe wasn't really in a place to appreciate the little things, struggling violently against the Kirinni who just loved him sooooo much and was on the way to coating him in a lovely layer of... slobber. "S-STOP, NOW. SIT." Surprisingly, the latter command actually seemed to trigger a response in her and, even MORE shockingly, she sat.
She sat right on his tail.
It was probably for the better that Riley had picked him up (or at least, the leash he was still tangled up in) before he could swear more effectively at his 'dear' pet, suddenly finding himself the subject of... apparently study, definitely humiliation. The first instinctive reaction to her poking finger was biting it but... well, when he missed, the little Nguruvilu could only settle on trying to be intimidating with a good, snake-y (garbled) HISS and a flare of his (sadly 'pretty') sail as he dangled, pretending he wasn't covered in slobber and lawn clippings and he was totally, totally a dangerous monster.
"I-I'm an Nguruvilu, jackdammit!" he squawked hopelessly. "I'm not a poking thing!"

((It's only okay if you give me that Swashbuckler Lepus. Psh. Duh~.))
Sayuri yelped as she was pounced, whining at the strange sucking feeling against her back. Nooooo! Nononononono! She did not like that! Not one bit! Nooooooo! Getoffgetoffgetoffgetoff! The tiny purple fox whined and moved to roll over, her intention being to squish the Back Invader. Off! Offoffoffoffoff! Junko had heard the unhappiness and turned from the adorable little creature attached to the leash to see what was going on, gasping and putting a hand on her cheek. "Sayuri? Ah...Riley, what is your um...thing doing to Sayuri?" She didn't want to call it a thing, but honestly Junko had absolutely no idea what it was! So it was just Thing for now.
Kuro didn't seem to notice his playmate's plight, too enthralled with the new one he was meeting. She was wagging her tail! He had a tail too! Seesee? Kuro's fluffy tail wagged happily behind him, though it was nothing like the bigger dog and it didn't make any thumping noises; it was too soft and fluffy for that. He yipped up at her and pranced around in circles around the dog, getting down into a pounce position in front of her and hopping around a bit. Kuro? Pick a 'fight' with a bigger dog? Why, yes! Yes he is!
Junko was pretty sure she'd never seen so many pets in one place at one time before, looking from Sayuri and Riley's strange pet to Kuro, and then to another student nearby being harassed by his own pets...and the poor squawking cute thing. What was a Nguruvilu? This was madness! So much was going on!

Precious seemed suitable pleased with the result of 'undead stuff =/= tasty'. Though she was sure the creature that had now left her leg alone (THANK JACK) would still sample everything just to be sure. Either way, the Corrividus moved over to her shoulder, allowing the Pricolici to lower her arm and go over to investigate all of the mess going on with the sudden explosion of pets v students. Namely what was going on with the shrieking water-squirrel.
She paused, staring at the Nguruvilu with one brow raised. Well, someone certainly had a lot of spark. Or just an instinct known as 'Plz 2 not eat'. His head would have fit nicely between her jaws, now that she thought about it...
"I've never seen someone keep pets bigger than themselves.." Shehk mused, fussing through her pockets to find the ever so coveted fear candies, Precious squawking until she got hers first, before the Pricolici offerred one to the slightly-if-not-completely-special Kirinni.... though the strange critter that had taken to her leg earlier did garner some attention of it's own, the Pricolici watching it as it latched to another pet.
Hmmm.
"Does it always do that..?"

Mmm, that Quetz over there probably tasted like chicken. Cam was distracted as it eyed the bird with those big, bulging eyes, and was suitably distracted when Sayuri flipped it over and squished it. It struggled and screeched, it's tentacle suckers extracting themselves from her fur in a vain attempt to wiggle away. Unfortunately, it was having some difficulty righting itself, and despite being able to get Sayuri off of it with a shove, it mainly just wiggled there on it's back, rolling from left to right trying to get to it's feet.
I have one just like that, in the dorms. She responded to Julian. He is much easier to take out on walks than.. her eyes fell on the rolling Cthulhu and her chin jutted out in it's direction. She'd almost forgotten she was holding a little student in her hand until he screeched at her, and she forced down a giggle. He was kind of cute. I apologize. She murmured into the tiny mind. If I put you down, will you be safe, or will your minipets carry you off again?
A quick glance at the still rolling Cthulhu allowed Riley to answer Junko quickly and honestly, but her voice was filled with obvious amusement. Nothing. Now. And to Shehk's final query, she also answered with a simple and honest Yes.
