folklorist | ϡ - Chapter Six; the horned serpent [voice]

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.

[Third time's the charm.

the book picks up a very interested] Hmm.

[ And you'll get an interested ] Hmm? [ in return, though his sounds more amused and he'll wait to see if there's a reply. ]

[Why is his lurking so un-subtle today? Oi.]

I've heard myths of that sort, in my world.

My experience with actual mushi is rather different, though.

[ because Ginko needs to practice his ninja skillz. ]

Is that so? I'm not surprised to have some worlds with overlapping mythologies. There's so many people from variations of Earth. Ah, yes, mushi you've spoken about those before. What sort of experiences, if you don't mind my asking?

They were likely youkai of some sort.

A reptilian water monster?

Demons? Oh I don't know about that. They don't seem to have the same air about them like demons do. Though it's quite hard to say, they're an elusive bunch.

I-I um, like the rain. It smells nice.

um. Not that I am saying the sunny days aren't also nice!

Correct! There's quite a variety, though these are some of the more tame. [ He sounds quite chipper, actually. Even if you didn't meant to broadcast it. Whoops. ]

In my world there are the kappa. Water spirits. They love to play pranks and eat small children, but they can be tamed - they make very intelligent and loyal servants.

... They're mythological, of course. I'm not one.

Mm especially in the summer, doesn't it? A lovely smell if I do say so myself. It brings back memories.

I think rainy days and sunny days both have their own perks and qualities. It depends on the person, really.

What do you think about dragons?

Oh yes, yes Kappa! They're a social bunch, better at human interaction than most. [ He sighs a little at the last part about them becoming loyal servants. ] Servants...I don't condone the action really, it's not right. They're far too intelligent and well adapted for such things.

Haha mythological! Of course, but what if they were actually real?

[ He'd be ecstatic because the dragon he knows back home is a bastard, so a nice one would be a an awesome change! ]

Dragons? Hm, well they're magnificent creatures! Wise, powerful, and they're quite compassionate towards humans, especially after all humans have put them through.

Given your response, I suppose you would be interested to know that my true form is a dragon.

[After listening to Helios' lesson, he decides to speak.]

There is not a being who associates with the rain or water unless you count toads or frogs, but it was on a day such as this that inspired me to write my Prelude in D-flat Major, Opus 28 Number 15.

[ He's somewhat surprised because he wasn't really expecting it, then again he didn't really mind surprises, actually. ]

My, I most certainly wasn't expecting that! It's a honor to be speaking with you, truly. Ah! I should introduce myself! I'm Helios Sprensonne.

[ He chuckles. ]

Toads and frogs could work too! And maybe even...er, fish! Music always seemed to me like a wonderful way to express your feelings of any sort of even; like a journal almost only it's better than written words.

I imagine most people will react the same way when they find out, although I expect some won't be so excited.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Haku.

The way you speak of music is how many spoke of how I work. At times though, I do believe my feelings written in certain aspects of my works.

I love the rain, at least when it's warm. Cold rain is another story.

As for water beings, I immediately think of Leviathan, Lord of All Waters and King of the Eidolons. [Slightly wistful.] I do miss him.

Asturian morons still worship the sea-god Jichia. I don't care much for mythology, but I'm bored.

Does it ever feel...intrusive? Having your feelings so out in the open like that? Although, I suppose a great artist such as yourself knows just what to write.

[ He's not one to really show his feelings, so the question is warranted in his mind. ]

Haha it's always exciting meeting one!

I've met quite a few dragons in my time, none with the name Haku however.

Like two different beings entirely. The cold makes so much of a difference sometimes.

Ah! One of the seven princes of hell. The more famed sea monster, though he seems to have a different meaning in your world. Eidolons?
