Trusssst in me~

[in the middle of some room there is a very large tree, as if taken from a jungle. It seems harmless, right?

Not quite, for dangling from one of the branches is a long, serpentine tail. Is it a naga?

Could be, but it's awfully long and skinny for something part-human.

Why not take a look?]

[woooow, that's pretty. don't mind her wandering through the door and over to that tail, reaching up to touch it.]

1/2

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[the tail twitches, and a soft slithering can be heard...

Suddenly, there's a snake peeking down from the branches, flicking his tongue]

What iss it now?

[he just got done dealing with Shere Kahn, after all, not to mention getting a knot in his coils... the nerve of that tiger.]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[glances down-- oh, it's another mancub! Another...delicious...succulent mancub. He lowers his gaze towards her.]

Why, hello there, mancub.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[she's so distracted that the thing is moving that it takes her a minute before she thinks to look up and -- she jumps out of surprise.]

Oh! Hi!

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

Why don't you come a little closser?

[He missed out with Mowgli, but this one looks younger...weaker. He may get a meal yet.]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[well, she doesn't have a reason not to, so she tilts her head and steps up again. she's still holding onto his tail, by the way.]

What's your name?

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[said tail might be giving her a slight push forwards, a delightful grin spreading across Kaa's face]

Me? Why, I'm Kaa...

[this one is far more trusting than Mowgli. Good. Maybe this time he'll succeed]

[oathfulfilled.livejournal.com]

(...that's weird. she's. gonna stare for a second, trying to decide if she should take a closer look or not)

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[the tail is just dangling there, perhaps waving ever so slightly. There might be a rattle in the branches, but otherwise, nothing yet.]

[oathfulfilled.livejournal.com]

(well. that doesn't seem very dangerous. so, she's gonna walk over to the tree, trying to get a closer look)

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[looks can be deceiving. He can smell some sort of mancub... so he pops his head down to investigate]

Hello.

[oathfulfilled.livejournal.com]

(takes a step back, surprised)

Oh-- hi.
...who are you?

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

...A friend, of courssse.

[look out, Kairi. His tail might just be pushing you a bit closer]

[thirteenthflame.livejournal.com]

[watching that tail suspiciously.]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[Kaa can smell...something. Certainly not any creature he's seen in the jungle. His tail continues to slowly sway, and there might just be sounds of movement from up there]

[thirteenthflame.livejournal.com]

[sniff. Nanaki knows it's a snake. What the snake's motives are, however, is a different matter. He'll pad closer to the base of the tree.]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[He peeks down from one of the branches, eying the strange creature.]

Now what do we have here?

[It's not Shere Kahn, and it's certainly not that obnoxious panther...]

[thirteenthflame.livejournal.com]

[hello there. Nanaki stops, sitting on his haunches and looking up.]

Someone curious.

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

Curiousss?

[he's reering his head closer, and his eyes might have a hypnotic look]

Cccertainly you know what they sssay about curiosity...

[nagasaix.livejournal.com]

[Not a Naga, hmm? Well here, have one. But he seems agitated by you. He is hissing rather loudly, but does not attack. ]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[the hissing catches Kaa's attention, and he pokes his head down from his branch]

Will you keep it dow--

[hm? That's... odd. It looks like a mancub, but it has the body of a snake.]

Oh! What a ssstrange creature you are.

[nagasaix.livejournal.com]

I wasss about to sssay the ssame about you.

[His tail is twitching, tongue flicking curiously. But he doesn't seem to want to attack. ]

You are a conssstrictr... [He could tell... ]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

[still a strange creature, but he'll just smile... this creature is too interesting to do anything with yet. Would eating him be cannibalism? Kaa isn't about to consider that yet.]

That I am, but what are you? You're not a mancub...

[he moves his head closer]

And not a ssssnake...

[nagasaix.livejournal.com]

And you are not a human...

[You would have a hard time fitting a 48ft rabid naga down your throat. :| ]

Nor a Naga... You are sssnake. [He had them where he was from. But they normally don't...talk. ]

[notanaga.livejournal.com]

Humans?

[that bit catches his attention, oh yes it does.]

I've ssseeen a few mancubs already, but... how many humansss are there? I ssee no man village here.
