Glittering Prospects (Mamuro)

The trickster had hypnotized the group, and while their blood lust had calmed, many still said little to their guest. There were whispers in the camp, some calling the stranger a child, others saying she was right for the picking, and even a few that didn't like those of the Tempererd Steel. Saya wasn't against allowing Tin-tin to stick around for a while, but she wasn't impressed. Tin-tin had been welcomed a little too openly by some and she didn't like that the stranger was able to catch the fish so easily. In fact she was almost certain that Kurk had done it for her but allowed her to have the glory because he was smitten with her.


Mamoru sat with his legs crossed, hands lifted while Kurk wrapped bandages around them. The cuts from the twine weren't gruesome, but they did need wrapping to keep out infections. He stared at the Myrian, watching as he so gently took care of his wounded hands. The man was enjoying himself and was probably already imagining some life they might have together and the trickster couldn't wait to prove him wrong.


I hope you're enjoying yoursself monkey, becausse thisss won't lasst much longer!


The fish that he had painted the illusion over was staked by the fire along with a few others, while the real rainbow fish was tucked into the pocket of his loincloth. He had what he came for, and it was now time to leave. As much as he wanted to attack and slaughter the lot of them, the truth was that he was getting tired and had a long way to travel back to the nest. It would seem this time, the Dhani wouldn't get to play, but his prize fish was good enough for now. He had tricked the Myrians into letting him stay and fish, and then switched the fish so that he could have the rare one all for himself.


He needed to make an exit, but Kurk didn't look like he would allow it without a fight. That much was said as he rubbed his fingers back and forth over Mamoru's wrapped hands and said a prayer under his breath. He pulled his hands away quickly and glared at the Myrian. As much as he enjoyed toying with others, this one was too clingy and he had to go. Forcing another smile to his lips, Mamoru untucked his legs and stood up from the ground.


"Know what fruit berry is good for fish? Cocona, very juicy."


Kurk was still seated and took the moment to gaze upon the long muscular legs in from of him as he too thought of things that were juicy. "Right, those are very juicy, but I don't have any and I don't think they group near here."


Cocking his hip to the side, Mamoru folded his arms just beneath his heaving chest and smiled. "No is true, Tin-tin saw them. Will get them now, go good with rare fish."


He had seen the berries in the jungle before, but wasn't sure if they were near by and he didn't care. It was just an excuse to get away and if Kurk didn't follow, the trickster would simply wander off and never return. But his luck continued to teeter back and forth as Kurk jumped up and followed behind him. It was getting on his nervous and he could feel the man's hot breath on the back of his neck.


Get losst you dirty monkey!


Mamoru walked back into the dense jungle and eyed the bushes and undergrowth near the trees. The area did look familiar and he wondered if he would find the berries that he spoke of, or if he was now fooling even himself. There was a huge grin on Kurk's face, this being the first time he was alone with his beloved Tin-tin without Saya watching them. He moved up behind his companion and hugged her tightly and began smelling her hair. The eyes of the dhani widen as his blood crawled, and sent a strong shiver up his spine.

Get off me you jungle rat!

Glittering Prospects (Mamuro)

The trickster quickly turned, jabbing a strong elbow into the man's gut as he pushed out of his arms. Kurk had it coming, and Mamoru would have to kill him now if only to bring back some sanity into his mind. What disgusting creatures these Myrians were and it was a shame that he had to disguise himself at all. The Dhani really needed to get their act together. Taking another step back, Mamoru stared at the man and narrowed his eyes as he bit his lower lip.


"Help pick berry now, and maybe...you can pick Tin-tin later."


He smiled, the trickster was sure that bit would keep the Myrian in check for the time being at least. But the look on the man's face was anything but happy. In fact, his skin had gone pale and he ripped his sword from it's sheath. There was a presences among them, something big and it was right behind Mamoru. He turned around quickly, a flash of brownish scales whipped across his vision before a heavy tail smacked into him and knocked him through the air.


Mamoru soared through the air and landed with a hard thump on the ground surrounded by a cloud of dust and dirt. He coughed loudly as he slowly pushed himself up and looked around. In the distance, he could hear Kurk snarling as he fought the unknown Dhani. This was his chance to escape, he cared nothing for the Myrians and had no idea who the Dhani was either. He decided to simply leave and allow them all to fend for themselves. But just as he tried to move, he noticed a silence and he couldn't hear Kurk any longer.


Suddenly a bulky form slithered through the bushes and he was once again face to face with the Dhani that had smacked him. Looking upon the creature, he didn't recognize him from the nest. There was blood on his lips and on the claws at his fingers. He must have made quick work of Kurk, not that Mamoru cared. Still there were other Myrians close by and a Dhani in front of him. He could show his true self to keep the Dhani from attacking, but would he had time to change?


Before he could make a decision, a shallow bird call rang out for help. It must have been Kurk calling for help with his last breath. Once again things had changed, and the trickster wasn't in any shape to fight off a fang. His hand moved to his katana and he quickly pulled it free from it's make shift sheath. The sound it made drew the Dhani's attention back to Mamoru and the Dhani attacked. He slithered quickly, turning his upper body as he snapped a strong arm out towards his prey. Mamoru held his katana firmly as he stepped back and swung it as hard as he could.


There was a singing tremble as the blade met with the arm of the Dhani and buried itself deep into his scales. The katana ripped into the forearm of the huge Dhani and his blood splattered over Mamoru. He was shocked, amazed, never in his life had he seen a weapon that could slice through Dhani scales so easily. The trickster stood there, dumbfounded as he took it all in. The Dhani yelled in pain, turning his wounded arm away as he back armed the trickster, once again sending him flying through the air.


Mamoru woke up several chimes later, having morphed back into his original form after he was knocked out. His whole body ached and it was hard to move. Looking around and listening, he could hear the fight going on in the distance. The Myrians had found the lone Dhani and a fight to the finish had started. Mamoru was in no shape to fight and he didn't want to help either.


The Dhani had chosen his own fate by attacking him, and the fact that he didn't know the small human form in front of him was really a dhani, it didn't matter to the trickster. He slowly crawled through the grass, making his way to his katana that had landed a few paces away from him. With the weapon in hand, the dhani rolled himself over until he fell into the basin and allowed the waters to carry him away.

Additional Notes :
This was a pretty hilarious thread. I just wanted to note two details. One very minor one is that loin cloths don't have pockets, they are simply a small square cloth that covers one's privates, but I think Mamuro would be able to make it out with the fish, maybe putting it in his weapon sheath so that's fine.

The other is that no male Myrian would ever treat a female like that. Kurk would have most likely been beaten within an inch of his life for doing those type of things to Mamuro by his fang mates. That is the type of behavior that would more likely be done by females to males. I could see it happening if Mamuro had individually hypnotized Kurk, but since he didn't it would be entirely unacceptable behavior for a male Myrian, for future reference!

Other than that this thread was a really fun read, I loved Mamuro's inner thoughts and his super plain Myrian, as well as the whole disguise. I threw you a lot of associated disguisey, acting XP, and you got quite a lot out of this solo, so enjoy!


If you have any questions, concerns, accolades, complaints, etc about your grade, drop me a PM and we can most certainly talk it out.

As always, Safe Travels!
