Oh, hello there! Do you want to play? Or maybe you want a fluffy flea hug! Hm? My name? Oh, Iâm Chime! Iâm supposed to be working at my therapy job right now, but I snuck off to go play! You wonât tell anyone, right?
Ooc below cut:
Iâve had this blog for so long now but have put off making an intro post until now, whoops. Anyway, this is a roleplay account for my original character, Chime the flea! This blog is just supposed to be for silliness and whimsy but Iâm willing to start longer plots, just DM me first so we can plan!
There really arenât many rules for interacting with this blog. No NSFW, donât be racist of homophobic, try to be respectful and kind. Basically just common sense.
Other RP blogs are allowed to and encouraged to interact! Send asks, tag me in posts, chat in DMs, anything really!
Edit: I was originally not gonna mention this but after Iâve disappeared for days on end without prior notice several times now, I feel like I owe an explanation. The mod of this blog struggles with a lot of chronic pain and fatigue so sometimes interactions just feel like too much. You might see me online or even see me liking posts, I promise Iâm not ignoring anyone, Iâm just in rest mode. Thank you all for being so kind and understanding.
Now, the tags!

Huh? Whatâs this? It looks funny and got lots of buttons⌠weird!
Wait, wha-? Whyâs the picture blurry? Ack-! Whyâs it moving?!
Wait, thatâs me!? Woah, itâs like⌠a moving mirror that can go back to older momentsâŚ? Thatâs awesome!
Iâm gonna get lots of fun moments on this and when I get back to Pharloom, I can show the others everything I did!
And so, Chime had learned to take selfies and was about to make that everyone elseâs problem.
I met this nice lady who traded some weird looking shells I found for this really cool treasure! I dunno what it does, she says itâs called a âcharm notchâ, but Iâm not sure what a charm is. But itâs still really cool!
I found this big, scary place thatâs all glowy! It looks neat, but I donât think Iâm gonna go in⌠I got long fur so I donât get cold, but itâs still giving me the chills! The light is still really pretty, though.
âŚHuh? Wh-whatâs this stuff? This⌠doesnât look like it belongs here.
âŚIt smells- it smells sweet? But⌠in a bad way? I dunno what it is, but itâs making me nervous⌠Maybe I should try to leave for now and see what other places I can find.

why do i feel so empty inside?
you don't have enough rosaries. gather more rosaries to become Holy

OOC: Hey, just wanna say Iâm feeling pretty burnt out from the Hallownest arc and so Iâll probably just be wrapping it up within the next month so that we can return to our regularly scheduled fleaposting.
As the dizziness of the fall down the well finally disperses, Chime looks around in confusion. They have no idea how they got here, they just wanted a drink of water after all.
âWait⌠is this-? Hallownest?â
They quickly lighten up at this idea, jumping up and flying around to inspect everything around them.
âThis must be the crossroads I heard about! Woah, thereâs so many fossils! I wonder if I can find any cool treasures to bring home for my friends?â
As they excitedly inspect the new space, they notice that there are two tunnels on either side of the cavern, both leading in opposite directions.
Hmm⌠which way should I go?
Left
Right
This is Chimeâs button donât touch it please
Voting ended onMay 24
OOC: alright, the true adventure can finally really begin! This will work as a sort of âchoose your own adventureâ style game where these polls will impact Chimeâs journey, where they go and what they see! So, think carefully because you donât want them to get hurt (Iâd hope)
OOC: little Chime re-design that I did! It does not apply yet and for now they still have their current design, just a little look at whatâs gonna happen soon :3
The caravan has more provisions if you should need them!

Hi, Mooshka! Iâm doing really well! I made it to a town called Dirtmouth and met a really nice bug who I might travel with. Making it though the wasteland was scary, but I did it! I think Iâm okay for food and stuff for now, but thank you!
Howâs everyone back in Pharloom? Even though Iâm having lotsa fun here, I really miss them!
*Something hits the bench next to Chimes head, followed by the noise of wood being carved and shell shards clinking together.*
@travelingbug
Chime flinches as the unknown item hits the bench but wakes up fully at the sounds, looking up at the source of the noise, though their vision is clouded both by their fur and tiredness.
*As Chimes vision clears, they see a bug with dirt caked clothes, an off-red backpack and a look of deep concentration as they stare at and fiddle with something in their hands. They jump at the sound of Chimes voice.*
"O-Oh my! I'm so sorry a-about-!"
*They pause when they realize what they are looking at.*
"W-Wait, aren't you a flea? What are you doing here in Hallownest?"
"O-Oh, so I assume the flea c-caravan knows you've taken this t-trip? I was just w-worried that you had w-wandered all the way to Hallownest."
"U-umm, my name is-" *a piece of rock suddenly falls from the cliff and somehow lands behind the bench, causing you both to jump and drowning out their name.*
*They sigh, as if this isn't anything new, then lower their claws to Chimes level to show them a circular object seemingly made of Shellwood roots and Shell shards.*
"I uh, am t-trying to recreate a charm I made years ago, to h-honor the White L-Lady. I made the t-trek from Pharloom to hopefully see her a-again. I gave the original to someone who needed it more, but I hope she remembers me."
âYeah, they know Iâm here! I do miss them, but I know Iâll see them again soon so itâs okay-â
They then jump at the sudden fall of the rubble, letting out a small yelp before settling once more. They decide to press no further on the strange bugâs name. Instead, they turn their focus to the charm.
âWoah, that looks really cool! Youâre really good at making stuff! And youâve been to Pharloom? Wait, whoâs the White Lady?â
It feels like for every question that is answered, three more pop up to take its place. Or perhaps Chime is just overly curious.
*The backpacking bug seemingly has no trouble with answering all Chimes questions. They appear to just be glad to have someone to talk to.*
"y-yes, I have been to Pharloom, though I l-left just recently to r-return to H-Hallownest."
*The other question caused their face to light up.*
"The W-White L-Lady is a Pale Being, the n-nicest pale being y-you'll ever m-meet! I met her w-when I was still y-young, and I was l-lucky to have. I m-made a charm almost e-exactly like t-this one to honor her, and she b-blessed it and gave it back to m-me. I hope by re-creating said c-charm, she'll remember me."
*He stumbles over his words as he talks fast, seemingly excited to talk about the White Lady.*
Chime listens intently to him speak, nodding along as they admire the charm despite not yet being finished.
âIâve never heard of the White Lady before, but she sounds really nice! Oooh, maybe Iâll even get to meet her!â
This idea seems to get them quite excited, jumping off of the bench and flying around the bench in circles happily.
âWait, since youâve been here before but I havenât, do you have idea where I should go? I only had a map to get here but now that Iâm actually here, I have no idea where to go, but you seem to know your way around, friend!â
"Yeah, s-she is the bestest, nicest Pale Being ever!" They said with a big smile. "S-She would be just as h-happy to meet you as you are to meet h-her."
*They jump off the bench and reach into their bag.*
"It has been a l-long time, but I s-should still have a map of the kingdom. N-Not sure how accurate it will be t-though."
*They bring out an old piece of parchment, brushing off dust from years of neglect.*
"H-Here we go. If this is the town that w-was being constructed when I left, we should be h-here." They point to Dirtmouth on the map. "S-So the kingdom is right b-below us! Now the question is h-how we get d-down..."
*They fold up their map and stuff it into their bags outside pocket.*
"Why d-don't we travel together to meet her? I-I haven't been here f-for some time, and I returned once I-I heard news of the infection f-fading from the kingdom, but I d-don't know how dangerous it is anymore."
Chime looks at the map with great interest, trying to take mental note of all the little tunnels should such information be useful later on.
âWoah, this place is bigger than I thoughtâŚâ
There is a great deal of awe in their voice as they take in the map of the kingdom. They then turn back to their new friend, practically vibrating from excitement.
âOooh, travelling together sounds like so much fun! Itâd be nice to feel less alone!⌠Though I am here to explore the entire kingdom but it sounds like you only here to see the White Lady, so Iâm not sure youâd wanna join for everything Iâm gonna doâŚâ

Chime lets out a small squeak of surprise as they are lifted from the bench, still half asleep. Their eyes open and they stare at the bug who picked them up, however the fur covering their eyes makes it impossible to tell.
âHuhâŚ? Why did you wake meâŚ? Everyone okay? Someone⌠need help?â
Despite their willingness to provide support should the reason for waking them up be because of their assistance being required, Chime still seems somewhat annoyed to have been roused from their nap after such a long journey.
They are fast asleep getting some much needed rest and do not respond to the action, however they do let out a soft âawoâ as they sleep, almost as if they are dreaming about something.
