LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.


One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

—!! [ along with some muffled sounds of surprise, nai can only stand there as the woman suddenly shoves her fingers into his mouth. no one has ever done this to him before what is this what is happening oh god

but she does eventually remove them so nai just stares up at her, eyes frozen wide. anyway...she does make some sense there. he was holding her, so it should be okay. yeah. after she shakes herself off, he decides the best thing to do is copy her! so after he shakes himself and gets past that moment of confusion, he answers: ] Yeah, searching...!

[ nai whirls around. where to start, where to start... ]

[ungirlish]

[One day, Chora will learn that kids are not the same as Chocobos and you can't just go with 'inspection' through manhandling. One day. Eventually.

Of course, today is not that day. After muffling a short chuckle at his shaking and whirling, she plops a hand on Nai's head and ruffles, before craning her neck to see if anyone else is on this floor with them. Alas, no one here to save him from another tooth inspection.]

...No one matching friends' description 'round here, far as I can see. Might be up where food is; seems to be where most are gathering. You search one side of room for whistle, I search other, and we meet in the middle. This alright?

[...It's pointless to ask for his opinion when she's already drifted off, though. What a ditz.]

[nullity]

[ he squeaks in surprise when he feels her hand again, along with a familiar rubbing sensation. it's not terrible, but her hand is huge and it kind of rocks his head back and forth. eh, still not terrible, though now his hair is going off in all directions. sorry hair. ]

The food... [ yeah, that might be it. gareki always eats a lot when he can, and yogi loves his sweets. but right now, a whistle must be found! he nods eagerly, even when she's already walking off. ] Okay!

[ he gets busy with searching his side of the room, getting on all fours at one point to check the nooks and crannies of the floor. he finds a whole assortment of interesting things, like pieces of old leaves and crumbs the size of his head, but nothing resembling his mental image of a whistle. he frowns. that's no good. when he returns to the room's center, he looks apologetic. ] I couldn't find it...

[ungirlish]

[If the slight ruckus on Chora's side of the room is anything to go by, she only found mildly interesting pieces of wood and whatnot as well. She doesn't seem too perturbed by their mutual failure though, thankfully.]
Do not apologise; if is not here, is not here! Looked like you were searching very hard on my behalf. [And that's kind of touching, really.] As thanks, will make ascent much more pleasant than descent. Hang on tight, and will try to use these wings for gods-given purpose, haha--

[Instead of the ever-so-slightly worried smile on her face, there's now a frown directed right at Nai (or more specifically, the number she's done on his hair).] ...First thing first. [After all, if there's anyone who knows how to do a quick fix on wild hair, it's Chora; she has the natural gift of a naturally frizzy, coarse head of hair. ...Unfortunately, it's not a pretty quick fix; she spits into one hand, before proceeding to smooth it down through his hair.

Oh my god.]

[ he's still a little down, but she doesn't seem too upset about it so he's ready to go again. they'll definitely find it! while the words 'ascent' and 'descent' are a bit too advanced for him, he does get the gist of it when she starts talking about her wings. oh...w-well, he can handle another jump like that. probably.

now he watches her curiously before letting out a startled gasp as her hand once again clamps down on his head, and this time in a slightly rougher fashion. oh?? fortunately (or unfortunately), the implications of her rubbing her spit in his hair are lost on him, so he's just very confused now. ] A-Ah! [ he'll just. stand here obediently until she's done. ] Um... [ wait. ] Are we taking a bath?

[ she's cleaning his hair right?? but you need a bathtub for that... ]
