[This wasn't home. This didn't smell or look anything like home. Where was the snow? Where were the trees? Where were those cloudy skies? Those mountains? And why was he surrounded by so many humans

[I SMELL A HUMAN. He immediately scrambles around trying to find a good hiding spot... except, Chopper never really learned how to hide properly so he is very much in plain sight right now.]

[The voice takes the reindeer by surprise and he's about to start running away before he realizes that whoever spoke to him smells like... well, not a human. He turns and... what in the world is that? And why can it talk like he can?
Then there's this small pink thing attacking it and-- it talks too?!
He's more confused than afraid, but he's still not approaching either of you just yet.]
[Making his rounds through the city, Pip was not expecting to see a little reindeer wandering off on his own. It took awhile to recognize him as Chopper, not only because he'd hardly seen the deer outside of the network, but also because of a missing pink hat. Strange, the hat had struck him as something Chopper wouldn't be without.
He couldn't help but notice the poor guy seemed lost--maybe he hadn't been around this area before?]
Oi...Every zhing all right? [And it's a cautious approach he makes as he comes up by the reindeer.]

[He definitely was lost, because as far as he knew he'd never been here before. This place was as unfamiliar to him as any newcomer to Discedo, and finding a good location to hide was harder than he thought. Everywhere he went, he smelled people.
Like now, and it wasn't just that scent, but there was also smoke and... metal. Like that thing that hurt him and almost killed him before.
Chopper spun around and froze, staring in frightened shock. He was found. He wasn't supposed to be found. He was going to get hurt again. And it only took him a few seconds to start running away without a word.]
'ey! W-Wait! [Why was he running? He made to go after him, trying not to seem too intimidating. Something had the reindeer spooked.]
Oi, Chopper...It's Pip. [He doubted that was going to help but he had to catch his attention somehow. This was off and it had him actually worried.] You don't 'ave to run.

[There were no gunshots or angry yelling, which was different, but Chopper got away far enough to get more distance between him and this person. He hid behind whatever he could find and just stared at this... Pip. That must be his name. What'd he need to know his name for though? And why shouldn't he run? This Pip person was trying to trick him, he knew it.
And what was with that word? Chopper? Why did he keep saying that?
The reindeer didn't move, but he'd have no objection to keep running again.]

[Riful is wandering along the streets and searching for her sword despite being very much lost herself. As a result of Namine's chip event, she's lost all her memories of the last thousand year or so, and is still under the impression that she works to protect humans instead of eating them.
However, her body hasn't changed. She won't smell like human, or rather, she doesn't only smell of human. This is not a good thing, since her scent would be... demonic, like a monster.]

[The exact second he'd caught that scent in the air he'd frozen up and started shaking all over again. What was this? This wasn't anything he'd ever smelled before. It was worse than humans, worse than that herd of reindeer that abandoned him, worse than Lapan.
Even as he tried to stay still and quiet, he couldn't help that instinct to just run.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep himself still and quiet for long, and that impulse to flee was far too strong because he immediately left his hiding spot. He hoped he could escape fast enough without being noticed.]

[Movement, to the left. And years and years of carefully honed instincts, brutal training and killing after killing after killing take over.
She isn't number one for nothing, after all, and even in her most childish, friendliest state, her hands have always been stained with blood. Without hesitation, Riful darts forward in pursuit.]
[Commentlog! <3]bokuwadoctaaaMay 11 2010, 21:09:33 UTC
[As he continued running, he couldn't stop wondering why he was stuck in his current size. He knew that he could change forms with that fruit he'd eaten and escaping would be a whole lot easier in his full reindeer form but no matter how hard he force himself he was still stuck in this small size.
This wasn't good. Chopper couldn't run any faster, and whatever was chasing him was going to catch up to him and then...
The distraction in thought was long enough to keep him from watching where he was going, and soon enough he'd tripped and fell to the ground face-first in a loud yelp.]
[Now this is more than a little confusing, because it smells like a human but... no, it's a cat. But isn't it a human? He has no idea, and when he peeks out from the side of a building and gets a look at what has come near him he's... even more confused.
Since when do people have ears and a tail? Chopper inches away from his hiding spot so he's a little more visible, but there's no rush to approach what he sees.]

Chopper? [RUNRUNRUN]

Yeah, if you want your little reindeer brother, you're going to have to catch him because he's running as fast as his tiny legs can take him.]
