ϡ - Chapter Six; the horned serpent [voice]

[folklorist]

Raining, hm? [ There's the sound of rain pattering against the window, dulling the intermediate silence. He's thinking for a few brief moments getting his facts and thoughts sorted before beginning. ]

The Horned Serpent. A mythical being involved with rain, lightning or thunder. Some claimed it to be invisible while most referred to it as the bearer of rain that made noises similar to thunder. Taken from Native American tribes the Sioux believed the Unktehila to be a dangerous reptilian water monster that lived long ago. They were of various shapes and sizes. In the end however it is said that the Thunderbirds destroyed them, except for small species like snakes and lizards. It has varying names: Pita-skog, Sinti lapitta, Misi-kinepikw. Ah they're wonderful creatures, really. Not as extincted as everyone once believed; not as dangerous either I'll admit. The rain is so refreshing at times too.

Is there a being associated with the rain or water in anyone else's world? Since there's not much to do on rainy days, perhaps a little idle chatter could pass the time? [ Another pause, derp. ]

Oh! I almost forgot! Welcome to Luceti everyone! I know there's been quite a few new people about! The cycle just ended, I think? This place is so welcoming, isn't it? I'm sure you'll all feel right at home, or as much as possible in such a place! Though, it takes some getting used to doesn't it? A shame it's such a rainy day...there's so much to be explored in this place.

It does seem like almost everyone's heard of mermaids. We used to have quite a few back on the ship, if I remember correctly. [Not that... he knew them by name or anything, but it was just one of those old memories you can't seem to forget.]

They're a common myth in most worlds. They're not very dangerous, or so people have made them out to be, and even in mine there's movies about them! A ship? You used to work on one?

Movies... huh? I really should see those one day.

I used to be on one a while back. [Way, waaaaay back.] Lazlo used to be the captain of that ship.

I've seen a few in my time. Interesting things they are.

So you must have known him for some time, then.

Quite... Well, sort of. I never really did talk to him much back home. [Though he did have a lot of respect for him, even if it didn't show much here.]
