[differingrealities]

I’m Alchemi Alchemivich Pinka, but just call me Che’nya~

3rd year at Royal Sword Academy

lover of long naps and pranks~

you can touch the ears, just ask nicely~

have you seen my best friends, Riddle and Trey~? we grew up together when we were just kittens

the king of hide and go seek, or, well, usually I am~ but right now I might be easier to find, nyaha~

a purrfectly swell guy

drop by and say hello~

[champagnecall]

“Huh, usually we have some kind of a party at work and then I hang out with Doppochin and Sensei…I wonder what I should do for my birthday this year instead?”

[differingrealities]

“Nyaha, is it your birthday, Hifumin~? A very merry birthday to you, then~!” Che’nya grins with a tilt of his head. “You know it’s my unbirthday today~ What a coincidence this is~!”

 He sits up straight, a beaming smile on his face- boy, is he glad to see Che’nya right now! “It’s so good to see you, Che’nya! Oh, I’ve just had the strangest day!” Really, it’s just so odd! The boy hasn’t a clue what’s going on, but he knows he really ought to get home soon!   “Do you know where we are, Che’nya? I can’t make heads or tails of it- have we been kidnapped?” His soft face suddenly takes on a gravely concerned expression, which looks a bit humorous on his facial features. Neige’s voice sounds more and more panicked as he babbles on, gesturing in frustration at everything around them. “I don’t have my phone either- I just have a new one and a fake apple! I don’t get it!” Quite displeased, he looks desperately back up at Che’nya with those big old eyes of his, hoping for some sort of answer for all this.

Che’nya’s expression is painted with his usual toothy grin as he twirls on his heel to sit down on the bench beside Neige, resting his elbows on his knees in order to place his chin upon the palms of his hands.

“Hmm, do I know where we are, is it? Well, right now we are here, and no longer are we there, but as for how we got from there to here or here to there, I couldn’t say~ It’s a conundrum and a half, if I do say so myself, and I most certainly do say so!”

He turns to glance at Neige, still grinning despite the topic of their conversation.

“I’ve been here a few months now, you see, and this world is still so full of mysteries and oddities, why, it’s enough to have a cat purring with delight~! It’s paw-sitively splendid!”

“Ah, but there are hurdles and girdles, too~ Have you tried to cast magic while here, my friend? I can only perform simple spells, and my Unique Magic lasts only half a minute - why my brooch has gone missing, too~ If I don’t find it, the situation surely will become quite sticky~! Nyaha~”

 Sitting down all the way now, Moon reached out and grabbed a few materials in reach, examining them carefully. She hadn’t really made something like this before, but they might as well try, right?  As the young trainer selected various materials to make what they decided would be a little stuffed Rowlet, they looked back at Benny and smiled. They set down the things in front of them to sign again. 

 My name’s Moon. What about you, fellow friend of Benny?

Benny was sat down upon the table, Che’nya turning to watch as the other gathered materials for their own creation, curiosity in his eyes.

“Moon, is it? It is a name that suits you, I think~ As for me, I am  Alchemi Alchemivich Pinka, but as that is a mouthful or three, you can just call me Che’nya~”

He leaned over to look closely at what Moon had gathered, his tail slowly waving behind him in content relaxation.

“Are you going to make a little friend as well~?”

[differingrealities]

alolune​:

  To be honest, Moon did not entirely know what a Benjamin looked like exactly… but, examining the doll as Che’nya held it out, she was pretty sure that he was a Benjamin. 

 I think his name is Benjamin, but he goes by Benny. That’s what he looks like to me, I think, they signed. Is he supposed to be something, or is he nothing in particular? Maybe they ought to make a doll of their own. Build a Buddy sounded fun, and she could do it with Rowlet.

“Hmm, hmm~” Che’nya held the doll out in front of him again, giving it another once over before nodding in satisfaction.

“I do believe you are right, my friend~ Benjamin he is, or Benny to those who he’s friends with. That would be you and me, or course, so we are free to call him Benny~”

He laughed to himself, turning to finally grin at the other.

“Well, you see, he was meant to be a little me, but now, in the process of making him, he has become a little person of his own. Isn’t that just splendid~?”

[princeieges]

@differingrealities

To be honest, Neige was really very quite confused. Randomly waking up in a brand new world with hardly a clue how you got there? Who’d ever heard of such a thing? 

 He’d gotten fine and settled in his new condo, which was quite nice, he’d admit, but he was still way out of his element. As he wandered about the streets, trying to see if he could spot something familiar that signaled he perhaps took a wrong turn somewhere that lead him to this curious city.  Unfortunately, it seemed to be an entirely new place, just as he was told. 

 “Oh, dear… This is a mess, and foam apples don’t really help!” Neige sits down on a nearby bench and sighs, thinking long and hard about what to do. All the thinking he’s doing is soon interrupted, though, by an all too familiar shadow…   “..Ah?! Che’nya?!”

 He sits up straight, eyes wide as he sees his classmate. “You’re here too?!”

[differingrealities]

By now, Che’nya is used to living in this strange place. It’s so full of curious and interesting things, why, he’s hardly had a moment to be bored! But, he will admit, he does miss his friends and classmates. Life isn’t quite the same without being able to sneak into the Heartslabyul dorm to visit Riddle and Trey, or without those funny little dwarves to say hello to as he goes from class to class. While he doesn’t say it out loud, Che’nya is very much attached to his friends.

So, when he spots a familiar figure seated tiredly upon a bench, he can’t help the wide grin that lights up his features. He stalks over, footsteps silent, so that Neige doesn’t see him until his shadow is covering him.

When he’s spotted, he snickers, ears twitching and tail swishing with delight.

“Nyaha~ Surprise~! You are surprised, yes? I am surprised!” He tilts his head, eyes glittering. “What a world full of surprises this is~”

[differingrealities]

alolune​:

  A room of dolls sounded like fun, so naturally, Moon wanted to take a little look see. Their Pokemon tucked safely beneath their arm, the kid wanders into the room, examining each doll they pass until they come to stand in front of a fellow in the middle of making a doll.

 Uhh, I don’t know. Maybe you should try it? They crouch beside him, tilting their head at the little plush toy in his hand. Are you gonna name it something? It looks like a Benjamin.

The doll he’s made is sloppy, put together by unskilled hands, but it seems that that was how Che’nya wanted it. The legs were different lengths, its ears too small, but the young man seemed perfectly pleased with his creation.

“Hmm, a name, is it? I suppose it’d need a name, if I want to truly put my heart into it~”

He titled his head, looking up at the ceiling as he hummed, seeming to be deep in thought for a moment. “I wonder, what about it looks like a Benjamin? What about people makes them look their name~ When I tell people my name, do they nod and think, “ah yes, that most certainly is his name!” If so, then names are quite important!”

He held out the doll. “Look very closely at him~ Is Benjamin truly what he looks like?”

[thelostvessel]

@differingrealities​

Holding open a picture book, the vessel approached this purple stranger, tugging on their clothing to get their attention before flipping open to a specific page and pointing at the image on it– a picture of a cat. Making sure the stranger had seen, they then closed the book and put it down so they could freely sign with their hands.

[What is that? You have the same ears.]

[differingrealities]

What an odd little creature that had approached him! Che’nya’s ears twitched as the vessel tugged at his clothes, his head tilting, a curious grin spreading across his face. He leaned over with a hum to peer at the picture on the page.

“Oh? Why, that is a cat, and quite a cute one at that~”

He pointed at his ears with both hands, his grin ever present. “I have ears like it because I am a person who is like a cat. Or maybe I am a cat who is like a person~ One way or another, our ears and tails are quite similar~”

[differingrealities]

@alolune || event starter ~ 

Che’nya wasn’t much of a craftsman, or a painter, or a singer, or anything much to do with the arts. But of course, for a curious cat like himself, whether or not he had any natural or learned talent wasn’t a problem. What was more important than knowing what he was doing was simply having fun~

Currently he found himself in a room full of dolls, and despite his utter lack of knowledge of how to use a needle and thread, Che’nya worked regardless. He hardly looked up as someone approached, so focused on his work as he was. But notice them he did, so of course, he needed to say hello.

“Do you think, if I put all of my soul into this little me I am making, it will come alive~?”

[differingrealities]

ban-ba-bang​:

“What the fuck?!” Futa exclaimed, jumping back as a body-less head appeared. That hadn’t then there before, Futa was sure of that. “Who are you? What are you?”  He stepped up and tried to wave his hand through what he thought was a projection, but ended up just slapping the kid in the face instead. Shit.  He pinched the boy’s cheek, still not believing he was real. People didn’t just.. disappear!

Now that was a most unpleasant reaction!

A small, surprised yelp escaped Che’nya as he was quite suddenly smacked in the face, the fur on his ears standing on his end as his cheeks were then pinched. 

“Nya-- Do you smack and pinch everybody you meet, hmm?”

He’d planned to go fully visible anyhow, but just then, his magic wore off and the rest of his body popped into view. With a flick of his tail, Che’nya pouted at the stranger, nose wrinkled.

“Please do let go of my cheeks, or else I might bite~”

aprentis​:

coco takes her palm quire back with a bit of confusion.  she can parse some of what he means, but other types of spells?  how did magic work in his homeworld?  ah, but he is right about one thing–  maybe unintentionally, but these spells are useless as they are now.

   “ look here, these spells aren’t active. ”   she flips the quire open and points to a spell.  her finger dwells just above a small opening in the ring that encases the entire seal.  without it linked, this is mostly just scribbles.   “ the idea is to have a spell prepared beforehand, so when you close it… ”   her head perks up for a moment, eyes looking about the area with caution…  but it’s just them,   “ …you can activate it when you need to. ”  

however, she doesn’t bother showing what she explains off.  there’s really no point.  none of the spells will work.  she’d rather not close off the ring so openly either.  even if the coast is clear, he doesn’t need to know any more than she’s already let him figure out.

   “ a levitation spell is all i can manage right now, actually, ”   or, more precisely for her terms, the contraption on her shoes is all she can activate with consistency.   “ i might be able to cast it on your shoes, but…  well, it probably wouldn’t work right. ”

As the girl points to a spell, Che’nya leans over to peer closely at it, eyes roaming the page, taking in the details as he hums along in thought. “Ooh~ So it is something you can prepare beforehand, is that it? How utterly convenient! If only such spells existed in my world~ But then again, maybe it is just that no one has tried! Nyaha~” He notes her hesitation in her explanation, curiosity glistening in his eyes. It’s clear he wishes to learn more - perhaps not for academic purposes, but simply for curiosity’s sake. His ears prick up at the mention of a levitation spell though, his tail swishing behind him. “Is that so? I’m terribly jealous! Even if it does not work right, I would most like it if you tried it out~” “I’m sure you understand how stifling it is to have your magic stricken from you, yes? What was once a daily activity now gone~ It’s purrfectly frustrating, is it not? So even if it is not perfect, to flit and to float in the air even just for a bit would make me a very happy cat~”

[ban-ba-bang]

@differingrealities | Starter Well, this place was better than prison, at least.  He could actually go outside here whenever he wanted. He’d almost forgotten what it was like to be able to breath fresh air regularly. He’d taken up a routine of jogging twice a day. He didn’t really have much else to do, anyway- it seemed his access to the internet was still cut off. If he knew how to complain to the authority figures here, he would’ve done so a thousand times over by now. But he didn’t, so he was left to complain to himself.  He was trying not to get caught up in his own grumbling again when he collided with something. He staggered backwards, putting a hand to his now sore nose. “Hey, what the fuck?” he asked, looking up to glare at whatever he’d bumped into. Except… There wasn’t anything there. It was just air.  “The hell?” 

[differingrealities]

“Nya--”

Che’nya had been ecstatic when he finally got some of his magic back - and his unique magic, to boot! So ecstatic, in fact, that the very first thing he’d done was test it out. Except, he hadn’t gotten much of a chance to test it out, because only moments after he’d made himself go invisible, someone bumped right into him.

Well, that was to be expected. He was invisible after all.

It took only a moment before Che’nya regained his composure, and with a grin, he adjusted the spell - he could tell he wouldn’t be able to keep it up for long, so might as well have fun while he could, right?

With a snicker, Che’nya’s head came into view - but just his head, seemingly floating there in the air, grinning mischievously at the poor sap who’d bumped into him. 

“Now, now, there’s no need to swear or shout~”

[differingrealities]

aprentis​:

   “ n-no, please! ”   coco can’t bear it.  she tries to grab the palm quire by force, reaching with all her might, but she’s not nearly quick enough.  she watches in horror as its cover is flipped aside, pages free to flit through.  his reaction to their contents, however, brings her to pause.

   “ not any you’ve seen before..? ”   she blinks a few times, trying to process the implications of that.  the spells in that quire, they’re nothing advanced.  in fact, they’re relatively simple.  she’s only confident enough to draw spells that came straight out of the primer  ( with the occasional deviation )  so how could he not recognize them?

she relents, retreating hands that were eager to snatch the book out of his hands mere moments ago.  it’s only in the interest of getting some clarification though.  was he a witch?  but what kind of witch is unable to recognize even the most basic of spells?

   “ …what do you mean? ”

Che’nya tilts his head, this time to the other side, and peers at the girl over the top of the notebook. 

“Whatever do you mean, what do you mean~?” he hums as he flips another page. “I mean what I said - I have not seen these spells before. Of course, most spells I know are performed by a simple incantation. These, are you meant to draw them? I know of spells like that, but they aren’t anything I know~ Nyaha, well, purrhaps they have taught us such spells, but I might have slept through that lesson~! Nyahaha~”

He snickers, amused with himself, then finally holds the book out to her. “So long as you take good care of these spells, I suppose I can hand them back to you~ They’re quite useless to me, after all! It seems I haven’t retained much magic in this world - how boring~”

He sighs in an exaggerated fashion, ears drooping. “Why, I can’t even muster up a simple levitation spell on myself. I’m not so used to using my own two feet to walk, but I make do~”

OPEN EVENT STARTER // UNCAPPED !

Well, Hifumi could see why people seemed to be upset about all of this. Twelve in the morning probably wasn’t a normal time for people to be awake - but he usually didn’t even begin to feel tired until three! Or…well, whenever his insomnia decided to stop bugging him so much. It was a hit or miss, depending on the day. 

Though, uh…a loud voice coming from pretty much every device around wasn’t as fun. Yikes.

( He hoped Che’nya wasn’t suddenly woken up to that. )

But for now, it was probably best to do what the voice was saying and head down to the safe-zone in his ward. There were already a lot of people around - so he was thankful he chose to slide on his jacket. He could decide on whether or not he wanted to keep it on depending on…whatever happened! It seemed like they were taking up quests after all, right…? It was like a video game, which he absolutely loved playing! Everything would turn out great this way - it was an opportunity to have fun and meet more people! 

…and, doomsday prep or something, he guessed.

With his microphone tucked neatly into his jacket, he didn’t feel a need to pick out a weapon to use. Instead, he just went over to the supposed quest terminal where he could pick out his task and…called out to the first person he spotted next to it.

“Hello there! Would you like to help me with one of these? I’m certain we could move faster if we work together.”

[differingrealities]

Che’nya had in fact not been woken by the hullabaloo, but only because he’d also still been awake. He always found he was more aware at night, his senses sharper - he chocked it up to the cat part of him. He got plenty of sleep via naps during the day, anyhow, so it wasn’t something he was particularly worried about.

He also wasn’t particularly worried about these quests or whatever it was the voice on his phone had said. If anything, he simply found it curious. He had little idea what it was about, after all.

If anything, this could be a lot of fun, right~?

So, without further ado, he headed down to the safe zone, humming to himself as he went. He had just begun to peer at the terminal when he heard a familiar voice call out.

“Nyaha~ Hifumin~!” he greeted with a wide grin as he turned to face his roommate. “What purrfect timing~ I’d be more than happy to help~ Two heads are better than one as they say, yes?”

[differingrealities]

aprentis​:

   “ but i–  i do take care of it! ”   coco definitely remembers fastening it on her belt.  she wouldn’t dare just leave something as vital as her palm quire just laying around.  that’s why she raced here as quick as she could once she realized it was gone–  it has spells written in it!  she can’t let just anyone find that out!

   “ i came back for it, that has to show how important it is to me, right?? ”  she antsy, watching him dangle it in front of him.  she doesn’t want to be made a fool of, she’s not about to try and reach and snatch it back from him…  but to say seeing it in anyone’s hands but a witch’s stresses her out is an understatement.

“You take care of it, do you~? Hm, but if that is so, then why is it running off as it has?” Che’nya gives a small shake of his head, feigning disappointment. “How sad that it felt the need to get some fresh air on its own~”

Even as he spouts nonsense, he grins, taking the book now in both hands. “What a cute and curious thing it is, though~ Purrhaps by looking inside we can find out why it ran off~” He doesn’t wait for permission, simply begins to flip through the pages. 

And as he does, he tilts his head, ears twitching. “Hm, hmm~” he hums. “How curious! Are these spells? They’re not any I’ve seen before~”

[differingrealities]

“Nyaha~”

Che’nya snickers as he observes the new hoverboard that’s been placed in his possession. For better or for worse (probably worse) he’s now got immediate transportation on him at all times. “This will come in handy~”

“Ah, and how nice it is to use my unique magic again~!” Surely he’ll be up to all manners of mischief now. Spirale, watch out!

[differingrealities]

rvnthiscity​:

Ichiro was used to it, in a way, of people giving him weird looks. Heterochromia definitely wasn’t the most common of things, and his particular eye colour combination was even less so. They were striking, and he knew that. He’d learned to ignore how intensely people looked at him as a result.

If he were any younger, he would’ve gotten mad at this stranger getting all up in his grill about it. But he had the virtue of patience. For the most part.

“Ah, thanks–” He said, taking a half step back, trying to get some amount of space between him and this stranger. “They’re natural. Real unique genes.”

Speaking of, this stranger was pretty odd himself. Was he a cat? A human? Both? Ichiro had no clue. 

“Natural, you say?” 

Finally having some sense of decency, Che’nya stepped back as well, but continued to peer unabashedly at the other’s eyes, his tail swaying behind him. “That’s purrfectly fascinating~! I must say, I’ve never met anyone with eyes quite like yours~ And I’ve met quite a few odd people!”

Che’nya giggled to himself, wide grin upon his face. “In fact, I suppose I am one of those odd people myself~”

As if to prove his point, his ears wiggled. “You can ask about the ears, if you want~ I’ve found that people here aren’t quite used to them! That’s fine by me~ The curiouser you are, the better, I say~ In fact, you can even touch them - they’re real, I promise~”
