The Nest (closed RP with wildchildnod)

“I didn’t do it!” Quinn winced when he came up through his tunnel and spotted the crabby jinn general standing there.

Ah, but he had a bottle in his hand, and that was probably worth getting yelled at again.

Ronin raised an eyebrow at the blue caterpillar and held out the bottle to him, “we’d like to visit one of the other versions of Nod.”

“Chickadee Nod!” the boy holding the general’s hand said excitedly.

“Oh, that one,”Quinn nodded, reaching for the bottle.

“Can you do that?” Ronin held the bottle just out of his reach.

“Yeah sure,” Quinn agreed, looking longingly at the bottle, “just need a little liquid substance.”

Ronin rolled his eyes and handed him the bottle.

“We’re going to play,” Nod told the caterpillar happily, swinging his and Ronin’s hands, “I brought toys and games for us to with play, and buttons and beads that we can trade.” 

“Mmm-hmmm,” Quinn tipped back the bottle, gulping down a few swallows.

Ronin gave him and impatient glare, and Quinn stopped drinking to open a tunnel. For someone with such a cheerful kid, the general certainly was sour.

“Thank you,” Ronin tipped his head to the caterpillar slightly, then gave Nod’s hand a squeeze and lead him to the tunnel, “come on Nod, time to visit your friend.”

“I brought honey brittle too,” Nod skipped beside him into the opening.

Quinn shook his head and went back to his bottle. He was half way through before he remembered to close the tunnel behind them. Just as the tunnel closed a happy thought occurred to the caterpillar.

If they went one way, they had to go the other, and that would mean another bottle for him.

fweeee-tweee chitchitchit. Chirreep deedeedeee.

"Chickadee Nod!" Nod cheered with excitement, "you came to visit again!"

Nod had to stop and think for a few moments about what his favorite type of seeds were. He ate lots of sunflower seeds because Ronin always kept them around, and he really liked acorns because the insides were mushy and tasted good, and walnuts were good but hard to crack open.

"Oh! I know," the boy grinned, "chirreep fee-bee deedee!"

Meeting the Wild Child (closed RP)

Nod was helping Bee and Ribbit build a house out of pillows under his bed when he heard the swooshing noise. The swooshing noise meant the funny blue caterpillar was back and no matter what, he wasn't suppose to follow him or go into any holes when he was around. Ronin had said so, but Nod liked playing with the Nod with the fox teeth. Last time there had been four kinds of syrup with his pancakes when he had visited, but Ronin only ever put one kind out, even if they had more.

Nod was about to crawl out from under the bed to see if Nod with the fox teeth had brought him any syrup or at least if he would let him see his fox teeth, when he spotted a pair of bare feet standing next to the bed. They weren't Nod with the fox teeth's feet because he had sharp nails on his toes that Nod thought were really neat. Nod had seen them when he had been getting out of bed, and he wished he had pointy claws like Nod with the fox teeth. They weren't Ronin's feet either because they were too small.

Nod picked up Cheep-Cheep and carefully peered out from under the bed. There was man standing there looking around in confusion. He had brown hair like Nod's hair and brown eyes like Nod's eyes, and he wasn't wearing any shoes, which Nod thought was very clever of him.

"Hello?" Nod said cautiously.
