“Since when have we had frog-lookin’ bugs around here?”

“I can’t even tell which you taste like!”

And then she goes in for another bite!

“Actually, I’m a Greenbottle.” Dodges the bite attempt. “and You’re in the Glade of Dreams. Round here, Greenbottles like me are common. Leaf-looking birds like you ain’t common.”

“Since when do we have flying leaf-lookin’ birds in the Glade?”

Go on anon and pretend to be a journalist. Ask my muse the hard-hitting questions. Make them squirm. Make them admit things they don’t want to.

The human certainly wasn’t expecting to be ambushed during their trip to the Glade. They had brought a weapon just in case self-defense was necessary, unknowing of the current level of threat that the nightmares presented, but they’d still rather avoid conflict. Nevertheless, here they found themself in this scenario.

The sudden help was surprising, but not unwelcome. Still, they couldn’t help halting their current actions at the display that was now taking place in front of them. It made them squint. But hey, if it works…

There was a brief moment of reaction in which they shoved a Lividstone that was approaching them from the side, before heading over to the one under Murfy’s attack (?), whom they struck with a kick to the chest.

“*huff…* Thanks mate,” they addressed him, while keeping their eyes on the remaining enemies for one more moment. “Getting in fights wasn’t in my plans today…”

“I’m just surprised that worked.” Murfy comments, as the lividstone gets a kick, falling back into a dark cloud. “These things are easy to handle, anyways.” Another attempt to grab him dodged, Murfy keeps flying around them, distracting- conveniently out of the way whenever the human went in for their attack.

It doesn’t take long for the others to either end up defeated or flee. “Y’know, you ain’t half bad defending yourself, for a human.” Murfy comments, as he watches the fleeing Lividstones. “Not many of your kind here in the Glade. Name’s Murfy, by the way; both coach and official mentor to the Glade’s own hero, Rayman.”

Murfy covered in sleeping lums? first thing that came to mind XD

[ Art Requests of Murfy! ]

>Murfy usually has a few Lums with him, and occasionally he’ll lay down to relax. They usually take the chance to nap all over him, therefore making it illegal to move until they’ve woken up.

6. what is something that ticks your muse off, no matter what?

[ Headcanon Questions | Accepting! ]

Honestly? Not much ticks him off without fail. There's the obvious of someone posing any big, real threat to his home and messing with his wings, but I'd think if someone went after someone he cared about- and it wasn't someone like Rayman or his pals who know how to fight back -that'd do it. That and if someone purposefully and deliberately went after folks who couldn't fight back.

@ that anon who grabbed Murfy’s wings: Feel free to im me off anon if you want to do anything with that! Otherwise, please do not tear or damage his wings. Grabbing is fine, but any long-term damage to them has to be plotted out beforehand.

grabs Murfy by the wings

[ Unprompted Asks | Always Accepting! ]

“Hey, watch the wings-!” Murfy practically shouts, trying and failing to dodge around the grabby hands of the stranger. “-Those are delicate, y’know! I kinda need them to fly!”

Headcanon time: Murfy's job as Rayman's mentor!

Despite how sassy and snarky Murfy is, at the end of the day he does take his role seriously. He just likes to have a bit of fun with how he words things! His job is to help the hero & his friends, offer advice, & generally be there when they need him. Rayman and his friends are far more carefree and relaxed about things than Murfy himself tends to come across as- and that's part of the reason he ends up being so snarky and sassy; it's both his own brand of humor, and he's able to point out things that Rayman or his friends might have missed.

His personality here on the blog will definitely be more like Rayman 3, but it'll be softened up a bit. Sort of like combining the various iterations of Murfy into one. He'll know where the lines are between helpful sass or snark and when he needs to be more straightforward, as well as when it's just not the right situation for a sassy/snarky reply.

Murfy's job may be a round-the-clock sort of deal, but he does get a day or two off here and there to do his own thing, relax, etc.; though he'll still make sure that if Rayman does need him, he's able to be reached.

>Gonna put a tidbit about this in my rules, but Murfy will break the 4th wall from time to time! Feel free to let me know if you don’t want him to do so.

[cyclopediaic]

[ @bdkrp | Plotted Starter! ]

Sometimes Murfy’s just gotta sit and wonder- if nightmares come into being because of Polokus’s bad dreams... why doesn’t he do anything about the results, outside of Jano being sealed away? Sure, Rayman and his pals are more than capable- with a little help from himself -but they still caused havoc and kidnapped countless innocent creatures.

Train of existential thought interrupted by the sound of fighting- speaking of nightmares! A quick flight over to the sound’s source, and he finds... a human? A human, fighting with some of the Lividstones. So, he decides to lend them a hand. 

Dodging one of the Lividstones’ attempts to grab him, Murfy tickles in response. Surprisingly, these things are still ticklish! “Man, I didn’t think that’d actually work! Thought that mighta been some weird game mechanic thing!”
