First Nap: Totoro Awakens! [Action]

[Hello Lucetians. Today is your lucky day, because somewhere in the village...Totoro is taking a nap. Maybe he's in your living room? Maybe he's in your bathtub? Your private cave? Perhaps he's been deposited in a Community House kitchen, and it's entirely possible he's also been stuck inside a shop or sitting on a bridge blocking it up. And wings or no wings, he's very much asleep and doesn't seem to mind much. Of course you might, given that he's enormous and furry and snoring really loudly.

And for whatever reason, there is a pair of New Feather pants sitting beside him along with a small pile of acorns, a journal labeled Totoro sitting on the little bundle. If he's outside, his ears flick irritably in the rain, but it doesn't bother him too much. But maybe an umbrella would be nice too. Since the Kusakabe sisters aren't here, anyway.

Do you wake up the enormous fluffball or let it keep interfering with your day? He's not gonna move on his own accord, that much is obvious.]

[Later on, when Totoro's inevitably been woken up, he waddles out to explore the town in the rain, not bothering to hide. One big, clawed hand grasps an umbrella and he's got a journal tucked under one arm. That's what humans do with books, right? He doesn't know how to work it, but it seems to be something he should keep anyway. And besides, it was a gift from whoever brought him here. He'll be on the lookout for Mini-Totoro on his walk, so if you've seen a little white fluffball that looks a lot like the big one, maybe point him in the right direction? He's not going to bite, and he certainly appears to be friendly and peaceful!

Anyone who stops to say hello can expect to be received by the enormous creature with a wide smile and a fluttering of whiskers. And if you're nice? Maybe he'll even give you an acorn.

Maybe.]

((ooc: If you want Totoro to wake up in your place, go for it. Break time, send him anywhere you want! I'm cool with anything.))

[Did somebody say wild Snorlax--oh wait, this isn't a Snorlax. We don't know what that is, actually. Clearly that means such a mysterious taste needs to be investigated~! ...Although, if what he knows about Snorlax is true, then it's entirely possible that this creature might not be particularly happy about someone waking it up either. So to stay on the safe side, Cilan actually waits until after it appears to have woken up on it's own to approach it, rather than attempting to wake it up himself.]

Ah, hello? [He's not actually expecting it to talk to him, but he is very curious to see what it does...]

[Oh, a nice person that didn't try and poke him or wake him up with sticks and yelling. Totoro grins that too wide grin and looks down at Cilan, waving one big furry paw.]

Mrrr?

[He can't really speak, no, but he can be friendly as can be!]

[Oh good, it's friendly. Cilan beams as he offers a wave back. It doesn't look like it's a talkative creature, but perhaps it can at least understand what we're saying.]

Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you! It's not often that I meet one such as yourself--at least, not as many with a similar taste in appearance. [Other than Snorlax maybe, but Totoro is obviously a lot fluffier than the Sleeping Pokemon in Kanto...]

[Totoro nods once, emphatically. He's one of a kind!

Then, mimicking what he's seen the Kusakabe's do, he bows in greeting.]

Too...too...roooooo

[His voice is like a small avalanche, a gravelly rumble deep in his chest.]

"Totoro"? ...Ah, is that your name? [Judging by the bow in greeting, he's pretty sure that it was introducing itself. Well, it's only fair that we introduce ourselves too as he gives a bow of his own.] Well, I'm Cilan, a Pokemon Connoisseur~! As I said before, it's an honor to make your acquaintance!

[it's okay if Totoro doesn't know what that is, it's kind of a habit that he still introduces himself with that title even here ^^;;]

[Totoro gives a happy nod and hops once, obviously pleased to meet Cilan]

Mrrrr!

[He quirks his head and sniffs, whiskers flickering from side to side.]

Mmmmm.

[You smell different...strange...and he looks a little confused as he gestures with one arm all around him. Where is he?]

[Cilan can take a guess at what it's asking.]

You're new here, right? I can't say I know anything about where you were before, but this is Luceti. Everyone has been brought here from their own homes as well. [Would someone as big as Totoro have even noticed the wings or thought anything odd about them?] Luceti has a strange flavor to it, but I don't think it's impossible for some people to grow accustomed to it, once it's had more time to ripen for them.

[In other words, weird things happen here but there are people who manage to get used to it.]

Luuuu...ceeeee....tiiii?

[He'll try and sound it out, a slow rumble deep in his chest. It's not quite perfect, but what do you want from him Cilan?

Srsly.

Still, he plants his paws on his hips and looks around at the place approvingly. It doesn't smell bad at all, and there's a pleased look in his eye. New places to play, and new friends!]

[But of course! New friends are a very positive upside to this place, after all.]

If there's anything else you'd like to know or need help with, I'll gladly offer any assistance I can! [Totoro might not be a Pokemon, but he's very interesting!]

[Totoro nods thankfully and looks around curiously, licking his lips hungrily.]

Too?

...Are you hungry? Well, not to worry, there's plenty of things to eat here. [Though he wonders if Totoro would even be able to fit through the door of any shops here, so...] Is there anything you like in particular? I can help you find it, or even make something myself for you to eat.

[He taps his chin, thinking. What does he like? No human has ever asked him that before and this is breaking new ground!

Hmmm...

Hmmm......

The only thing that comes to mind is fish. He is a bear-thing after all. But how to say that?

He'll point at the river and wiggle his arms, miming a fish swimming as best as he can.]

Mrrrr?

Ah... [Okay this might be a little harder as he watches it gesture to the river and then wiggling its arms. It wants something from the river? ...Oh, wait.] Fish? Is that what you want?

[Just to confirm and all--admittedly, being a guy from the Pokemon world, the types of fish he's familiar with is likely very different than the types of fish Totoro knows of.]

[Totoro nods excitedly! Fish would be awesome!]

Let's see...I don't know if any fish in the river right here would be considered to have a delectable taste--[Or rather, if it would be in good taste to just try to catch them straight from that river right there.]--but yes, I believe there are fish you can find and eat here in Luceti. Do you have a particular flavor or preference for how you like them?

[Does Totoro like eating them raw or cooked? We can help procure them and cook the fish for them if it would like us to.]

[Totoro actually shrugs. He doesn't really care one way or another, honestly. He's a spirit, though, so he's used to eating them raw. Unfortunately, he has no way to really...say that.]

No preference, then? Hm...alright! Let's see--there might be fish available at the market that I can fetch for you. Ah, not to say I couldn't fish them for you myself, speaking as a Fishing Connoisseur, but it's possible that these ones will be of better quality to eat. [Plus the ones at the market is a little less guilty about eating than living ones you catch yourself.] Do you want to wait here while I go take a look? Though I suppose you can follow us too if you want.

[Even if he kind of doubts that Totoro would get in through the door so he'd likely have to wait outside anyway.]

[Totoro hops happily and moves to follow Cilan. It's no problem, he'll come with you, yay!]

Mm, alright. Let's get going!

[Luckily it's not too far of a walk from here to the plaza where the shops are. Cilan will happily lead the way, and will helpfully point out what is what here--that building is a restaurant, there is a clinic, and such on until they reach the grocery, where he plans to look to see if they have any fish available to eat.] Here we are--this is the grocery. You'll wait here while I go take a look?

Too.

[He nods, content to wait!]

I promise not to take too long--for now, it's searching time! [Cilan please...but he'll go on in to look. Give or take about ten to fifteen minutes, Cilan will be back outside, holding some bags with him now.]

Well, it looks like they do have fish available today--they're kept cold though to help them stay fresh. [Totoro could still eat them raw, but they'll likely taste better cooked or if given another minute or two to thaw out more.]

[At the scent of fish...Totoro sniffs, looking Cilan up and down. Do you intend to feed him?]

Hm...why don't we go somewhere else so that we're not standing in anyone's way here? Is that alright?

[Maybe he could show the way to his place where it's less crowded with people unlike the plaza, and he'll have access to his kitchen where he can better serve these fish...]

[Totoro nods. That seems okay! It doesn't bother him at all, going with this nice stranger...]

[Thankfully, it's not too long of a walk there, and once they do arrive, Cilan will hold up a hand.]

Wait here for just a few more minutes, okay? I have to go inside to better prepare these for you to eat. [But he feels bad about making Totoro wait outside on it's own again (as he sort of doubts it getting in through the door), so after a moment of thought, he takes out two pokeballs to open. Say hi to the small green monkey and the large hermit crab that appears now, looking up curiously at the large...well, not a Pokemon.] These are my friends Pansage and Crustle. Pansage, Crustle, this is Totoro. Could you keep him company while I work in the kitchen?

[They both nod before making a waving motion at Totoro, Pansage even hopping up to stand on Crustle's shell so that it's not so low to the ground to greet it. Hi, nice to meet you?]
