Totoro had heard about an odd sight that was a flock of sheep traveling through the snowy areas of the city. No one seemed to know where they came from or where they were going. But it lead the chibi to start looking for the sheep as he wanted to meet them.
He'd seen sheep in vidoes and at the petting zoos when they occasionally came by but he hadn't seen sheep that sounded like they were floofy white clouds. He'd done some basic research on what he could bring them to eat just to make sure he wasn't giving them some sort of food they couldn't eat and he'd settled on carrot sticks.
He had stopped and stood up on a park bench looking for the weird lumpy mounds people spoke about the sheep coming from as he paused looking around thinking he also felt another senshi nearby. He honestly thought though that one of the parks might be the best place to be able to see the sheeps since they were wide open and sometimes had less traffic in the winter.
Counting Sheep (12) : All around the city, odd, lumpy mounds of snow have begun appearing--harmless at first glance, until one of them suddenly shifts, shakes itself off, and lets out a loud bleat. A large flock of incredibly fluffy, snow-covered sheep has wandered into town from who-knows-where. Their dense white wool blends perfectly into the winter landscape, and snow clings easily to them. They seem perfectly content in the cold and go about their business without a care, but it’s still startling to watch what looks like a miniature snowdrift suddenly get up and trot away. They're typically not hostile, but they will attempt to flee and avoid capture. They seem good natured--adorable, warm, and only occasionally a little chaotic.

Despite the lack of frogs in the parks in the winter, Bacchus had found something almost as entertaining in the birds who apparently frequented these places. He found the red ones in (Tempesti had called them “cardinals”) particularly funny as they hopped around and pecked at the snow. He’d even seen one have an extended full-blown argument with its own reflection in a chilly pond before he’d given up on finding winter frogs. He’d decided to ignore the relatability of that situation in favor of enjoying its absurdity.
It was the pursuit of bird-related amusement that had drawn him to this park, but the presence of another Order energy signature, one not quite like the ones he’d sensed before had piqued his curiosity, so naturally he followed it.
The deep space senshi chuckled at the sight of a young boy standing upon one of the benches that dotted the place. For a moment he was reminded of himself not long after his own awakening. If the kid was lucky he’d be spared everything that came after.
“Hey! Anything interesting going on around here?”
He greeted the boy with a friendly wave as he approached.
Totoro paused and looked towards the voice, unaware that the other was looking for frogs. Which would've had the chibi asking questions. There was a smile, "OH, so people have seen sheep like the ground just kind of starts moving and there's a bunch of sheep moving."
He said as he looked back towards the open field of the park, "I was hoping this was the best place to maybe find them since they're suppose to look like fluffy snow drifts until they move. I even brought some carrots since I did some research on them."
The Raccoon clad chibi looked back towards the deep space senshi, "I'm Totoro!" He added as he hopped off the bench and offered a fist bump to the other.

“Sheep. Those are the round fluffy things, right?” A few months on Earth had proven inadequate for Bacchus to become familiar with the local fauna, as much as he enjoyed meeting the ones he had. He hadn’t heard anything about sheep living in snow though, that could be interesting.
“That’s weird, are there a lot of things like that here?” That definitely sounded more entertaining in general than the animals who just looked like animals. Nothing wrong with those, frogs were like that, but this sounded like a lot of fun.
“Bacchus,” He smiled at the unfamiliar chibi as he tried to push back the memories of his own experiences as a ne’er-do-well child with supernatural power. No need to dwell on the good things he could never reclaim. “I like your fuku.” He looked at the kid’s outstretched hand, remembering that he was not in fact supposed to pat the top like he had the last time a human had tried that gesture with him before meeting the boy’s knuckles with his own. “No luck so far, huh?”
Totoro nodded when Bacchus asked if sheep were round fluffy things, "Yeah! Some of them look really round and fluffy!" He was excited speaking about them, "Some of them are still fluffy but they're hairy instead of woolly!"
There was a pause when he thought about the question, "Well there's not always animals like this. I wonder where they came from but there's different animals everywhere!"
There was a grin when Bacchus said he liked the fuku, "Thank you, I think it's fun! My sphere is Raccoons so it's very fitting."
He shook his head though, "Yeah no luck right now, but if you want we could go walk and see if we run into any!"

“Huh, I guess I haven’t seen the hairy ones yet. I’m still getting used to the animals here.” Bacchus decided to omit the fact that he was still getting used to having any animals around. Or anything alive and not…no. Not the time for that. Now… or ever if he was being honest with himself. No point in dwelling on what was dead and dusty when there were all kinds of weird things to discover here and this little raccoon senshi at least had an idea of where to find them.
The kid definitely didn’t deserve to be stuck in this. At least there was more than one senshi on Earth to figure this s**t out. There were a ton of Chaos assholes too, but that was something to worry about another day. Or never. Probably never. ******** Chaos.
At least they could look for something more interesting.
“Let’s look for those sheep, if you spot any other animals on the way point them out.”
Totoro grinned, "I've seen pictures of them I think they might have some at a petting zoo."
He couldn't quite remember but there was a pause while he thought, "Okay~! Yes lets look for them!"
He nodded in agreement when the other mentioned pointing out any other animals he saw too "Of course! This is going to be fun!" Totoro grinned, "Lets head this way~! The snow drifts look promising."

Bacchus followed the boy with an animal fueled enthusiasm, though remaining curious about the “hairy” sheep he’d mentioned. He’d have to ask the phone about them later. But the weird snow sheep were around here somewhere. They should be, as far as he was concerned. Being unmysterious was the least they could do if they were going to be hanging around.
The kid’s joyful demeanor drew a bit of a smile from the ancient senshi, must be nice to still feel all that during his chibiness. Even with all the weird s**t going on he still had that exuberance. None of the exhaustion that accompanied everything that came after.
“Lead the way, you know this place better than I do!”
Totoro grinned and nodded as he walked through the snow, "Sounds good to me~" He plodded along as he looked there were some particularly lumpy looking snow drifts in the direction he was heading.
"I think they're over here." He said as he walked and looked back at Bacchus, "So are you one of those senshi from space too?" He asked just to verify out of curiosity.
When they got closer to the snow piles. He saw something move, "Ohhhh, yes look it moved!" He bubbled with excitement

Excitement suffused Bacchus’ face at the kid’s announcement, scanning the unusual snowdrifts for any signs of unusual movement.
He wasn’t sure why Totoro’s question caught him off guard, in his position he wouldn’t have waited so long to ask. If some weird a** human had wandered onto Bacchus he would have a lot he wanted answered.
“Yeah, I am. I’m glad to be here though, my old planet had gotten really boring.”
It wasn’t exactly a lie, life without a single other living being was boring. The fact that boredom was marginally better than watching the height of the planet rotting from within wasn’t something the boy needed to know.
Motion in the snow cut short anything other than a short laugh that burst forth. “Oh s**t, think they’re friendly?” Rowan probably wouldn’t approve if he tried to bring one back to the apartment regardless, but that didn’t stop him from fantasizing.
Totoro looked at him curiously he supposed if the planet had gotten really boring that was a good excuse to come to earth. "Ohhh that's neat. I need to go to mine still."
There was a pause as he frowned a bit and then shifted back to the sheep at hand. "They should be~! I've seen videos where they can head butt people but I don't think they want to do that."
He replied as he pulled out some food from his subspace, "I got munchies for them anyways that should also help." Totoro looked at Bacchus and offered him some of the carrot sticks, "Want some to give to them?"
Totoro had already grabbed a couple out and was holding it out watching as one of the sheep slowly came up to him. "If I didn't live in an apartment I'd see if mom would let me have a sheep." He added as he watched them.

Bacchus managed to hold back a grimace as the kid mentioned visiting his own homeworld. Yeah, it probably didn’t have any horrible killer fungus but he could never discount the possibility of new and delightful ways for Chaos to inflict unspeakable horrors on anyone who crossed its path. Tempesti wasn’t too bad but Dagon had been one giant shitshow of a ******** and trying too hard to relax after had almost killed him so ******** that place. There was no saying what awaited the young senshi on Totoro.
“If you want backup when you go just give me a shout. You probably won’t need it, but there’s no harm in having someone else there in case things get weird.” Kid didn’t need to know what could be waiting there, but he’d rather know that someone had his back when he found out.
“Well we can headbutt them back if they try anything.” He grinned as he spoke, pushing aside the darkness that lingered in the back of his mind with practiced ease.
“Hey, thanks! Bet they’ll like those more than the spicy tubes I’ve got in my subspace. They’re good but I don’t think they’d like them.” They’d probably dislike the blue too. Maybe it would dye them blue. He held out one of the orange sticks toward one of the strange creatures.
“Heh, the friend I live with isn’t my mom but I don’t think she’d be happy if I brought a herd animal home with me. Her cat would probably try to eat it and get kicked, he thinks he’s way bigger than he is.”
Totoro grinned when Bacchus offered back, "Thank you~! You're the second person, and there was a cat. Who all offered too, I'll probably take one or both of you all up on that. Even if it's different visits."
He paused, "The thought of going up in space alone is a bit intimidating when you've sat and watched space ships take off and knowing they've done a bunch of training."
There was a chuckle when Bacchus said they could headbutt them back, "I don't think it's suppose to work that way~!"
Totoro looked curiously though, "What are these spicy tubes you have?"
He watched one of the sheep kind of bounce up to the deep space senshi and take the offered carrot munching happily giving fairly large carrot crunchies as it ate the stick.
There was another laugh, "You sure the cat wouldn't think it's a big fluffy bed? They look like they'd make a nice bed."
