is time for chikti + hydero
they didn’t actually know each other until rho brought them in! they are both 11 sweeps old. this is prolly gonna read weird in terms of chronological order but y’know?? i’m mostly writing stream of consciousness so it works.
----
chikti’s land like, sat right up against the nidori twins’ and she wasn’t really farming but ppl came to her pretty often for eggs since.. well... she has a lot of chickens. chikti’s all about the easy life- in terms of not having to think too hard. she’s not interested in trying to push back against anything, content to be where she is in the general system of things since it does the thinking for her, sort of. when rho approached her with the offer she signed on without batting an eye at the contract, but she also... legitimately doesn’t care ‘cause that’s just! not for her to think about!
she does sometimes wish she’d read things a bit tho ‘cause rho saddled her with a lot of work and managing quotas ‘n counting things is just. so. much. she often slacks off on her duties in favor of just chatting up the other residents instead. that’s way more interesting. chikti is arguably the most social troll of the group and talks to everyone at least once a day- even the skittish ones that don’t like her too much.
chikti is especially fond of hydero, they’re basically glued at the hips.
hydero’s lil lake area was on the other side of this whole lil area that Rho had acquired thus far- so she’d never come into contact with the others. Since chikti was another bird person, rho had her relocate closer to hyde’s area once she was all signed on. hyde’s pretty quiet and a bit shy, so it took her a bit to warm up to chikti, but she really admires her extroverted personality.
hyde hadn’t yet started using she/her pronouns until after getting close to chikti. with chikti’s encouragement she started asserting those pronouns with the others- not that she really had to assert much (rho took a l o n g time to switch bc he just... doesn’t care.) since the rest of the residents are like, decent people (again, minus rho.....).
hyde typically dresses in clothes that cover her up mostly, since that’s what made her comfortable before, but with chikti’s encouraging she’s starting to branch out to more styles. chikti’s general aesthetic is ‘less is best’.... hyde’s still too shy to do that but she wishes she had the nerve chikti has ahaha.
chikti doesn’t really use her allowance since like, anything she’d want is provided through the general orders the group places. she usually just gives it to hyde, who in turn spends it on.. what’s probably sketchy hormone therapy (again, she’s a lowblood so i imagine it’d be Hard to get legit services....). it makes her happy tho and chikti’s happy she can help that way.
hyde was acquired much the same way that chikti was just.. not as easily. rho made an offer, but hyde actually cares about things and read the contract. she had initially refused, but through a convenient set of events that involved a couple near-death experiences she ended up signing on when rho sent a reminder offer that mentioned added security. she’s pretty much certain he was behind the incidents (and he was) but without any proof or funds to fight in the legal system against a cerulean... well... she figured it was better to sign everything over than risk ending up dead and him getting the land anyway.
besides, she could leave any time anyway? she says for chikti tho. they ended up forming a moirallegiance after about a sweep - hyde keeps chikti on track and helps her focus and chikti helps hyde come out of her shell.
where ever chikti goes, hyde is pretty much guaranteed to be there, even if she’s not in sight. she has a tendency to follow people around (much like a duckling...) if she likes them and since she likes chikti best.. well. that’s obvious. sometimes she’s just following to try ‘n get chikti back on track and get her chores done, though.
