The Little-Big Adventure

"Here we go... You sure about common Knowledge about these `Naga´-Guys?" May-Lee moaned. She looked at Carlyn, then looked down the Road, where a cheerful and ultra-curious Tina stormed right into this Village. So May-Lee was stepping to the Side of this `Street´: "Any Plan B for some Mass Hysteria occuring on the Spot? If not - stay out of the Way - Tons of panicked People can behave pretty stupid and run You just over for good..."

Nik watched Vince take the metalic shard and raised an eyebrow. "Metal is worthless in a tiny culture? But I would think it'd be hard to obtain without mining for it and even then it'd take a while to process and refine to be usable." Said Nikolas watching Vincent pocket it frowning a little. He listened to what Eva said and then blinked a moment forgetting Vincent. "Who wants to get eaten alone?? How can you joke about such a fate?" He asked hardly believing she could rationalize that.

As Vince pocketed the the "worthless metal chunk" suddenly he'd feel something stab into his bum ever so slightly, like a sword point. If he were to turn around angrily he'd find that point had transferred to his chin and was in fact a sewing pin with the handle wrapped in dark brown like a proper sword hilt. The sword was held by a shapely ...well it was hard to determine her species. She had a tail like a neera, but it was more a wisp of softness than a long string. Her ears were pointed like a fox's but tufted on the ends and strangest of all? She had a dark azure jewel growing out of her forehead. It matched her wild looking deep purple eyes and contrasted with her long fiery red hair which was messy and barely held back from her face by a set of smaller sewing pins. Her clothing was bits of leather and netting. Her breasts were large and above them was just a patch of spiky fuzz. Her eyes focused on where Vince had pocketed the metal. "Worthless is it? Well then what's the harm in letting my friend have it back, hm?" She said with cheer that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Elissa's somber expression wasn't helped by Eva's joke. She gave a quiet exhale of a sigh as she began lifting the tall jar of water up in her arms once more. Vince and Nik's drinking had lightened it, but not by much, so it took a good amount of effort for her to lift.

Suddenly, she was surprised to hear a new voice, belonging to someone she hadn't noticed approach. She dropped her jar back onto the ground, causing it to begin tipping over upon landing. She quickly grabbed the lip of the vase-like container and pulled it toward herself, stopping it's descent. She wasn't strong enough to right it, though, and it was only a matter of time before she lost her grip.

Eva would quickly noticed Elissa's small trouble holding onto the jar and reached over to grab hold of it as well, pulling with her to try and set it upright. She also looked over to the new voice, seeing the "neera" which something seemed quite off about. She wanted to say something but thought it best to just observe for now.

Carlyn follows behind Tina and looks to May-Lee. "I...know about normal Nagas. Tina...she seems like she's different. Maybe she grew up somewhere else where she didn't hunt things?" She eyes the buildings of the town. "I'm surprised no-one has bothered to come out...or even has noticed Tina yet. I mean...she kind of stands out...but hey, that just means no-one is upset that a naga is here." She walks faster to catch up to Tina. "Hey Tina, I'm sorry for being so rude. I was worried about you...and I guess my worries were for naught."

May-Lee followed Carlyn - with her Arms crossed behind her Neck, as if she was stretching.
`Some Guys tend to change their Mind just as the Wind blows...´ she thought. Hm... Watching this Village... it is quiet here. Perhaps too quiet. After all her Experiences so far she maybe has gotten a bit paranoid - but being paranoid doesn´t mean, that nobody is after You... So she decided to better stay vigilant - as she always did.

Eva would look at something heading towards them in the village, she still had a hand on the jar.

"Na....NAGA!!!!!" She shouted, eyeing the fast approaching naga carefully. She noticed what looked to be some sort of efrii guard trotting along behind here, not seeming to care that a naga was heading inside.

Elissa had smiled to Eva, grateful for her assistance. Together, they pulled the jar upright.

With Eva helping her keep steady, she once again attempted to lift the jar up. She didn't get far before Eva screamed, causing Elissa to drop the jar again in surprise. She looked down at the jar in disdain, then glanced at Eva to see where she was looking. When she looked in the same direction and spotted Tina, her eyes went wide and she froze in place. She didn't even register that the efrii she'd mentioned to Vince earlier was watching over her as her mind was flooded anew with memories of the past, horrific ones.

“Because it’s all to common a fate, kid-” Vince began to say, in reply to Nik’s response to someone’s joke, when two things happened. One, he watched a ‘tiny’ naga - compared to the one that had eaten his men, this one was the size of an ant, that is - suddenly dart into the village. She was… well, she was still roughly twice as tall as all of the folks gathered around, here, which was, frankly, intimidating. At least she didn’t seem very unfriendly, or hungry…

Second, though, was the sword point someone had decided to poke into his bottom. His bottom! Who the hell did these backwater villagers think they were?! Vincent spun around, determined to give the prankster a piece of mind. He was stopped, however, by the pin point shifting to his chin, and the extremely odd appearance of the woman holding it. The neera blinked, though he’d dealt with enough well-endowed humans and nekos to not let this strange woman’s beauty distract him. The sword point held most of his attention.

And her reason for almost stabbing him was because he pocketed a little hunk of metal? Honestly? Vince looked at her with a mix of flushed anger and bafflement. If she wanted him to hand over the metal, she could have just asked and then brandished her stupid pin. Because now the neera ‘businessman’ was just angry.

“Maybe it’s ‘cause I don’t want our friend here to get weighed down by it.” He said, with a frown and a complete lack of false cheer. “Look, if you could put the pin down, maybe we can talk like civilized people, yeah?” He said, trying to ignore the screams about nagas. Vince couldn’t care less about a tiny-sized naga. It was just the big ones that had him on edge, recently, considering they were the ones that gobbled people his size up...

Tina slithered into the village. Everyone seemed to be in their houses, and she heard little voices coming from them. Apparently someone noticed her, as the screams were about a naga - her of course! She smiled, these little ones were just as excited to see her as it was the other way around! Quickly she went to the center of the village and looked at the biggest building, lying down somewhat to look through the windows and inside. "Hi!" she yelled, loud enough so hopefully the tinies inside would hear her. "Why dont you come out? I wanna meet you guys!" She said, waving her tail slightly almost like a dog in joy. It tapped against a different house accidentally and made the inhabitants feel like there was an earthquake, but Tina didn't really notice it as she was way too busy taking in all the different scents and tastes she took up with her sensitive tongue. Turning around, she looked over her shoulder to see what the other two people she came here with were doing. Strangely enough they really seemed to hold and stay in the back. It upset her a little that she was treated this badly by the others. It also upset her a little that no one was coming out to greet her yet. Tilting her head back in question she waited until someone would say hello to her. After all, she already made the first step.

Nik watched as Esillia lost her grip on her jar as was going to bend over to help but Eva was faster and managed to catch the rim and help the neera helped her straighten it up. Then as he turned back to Vince his jaw dropped. "Ah...Iopa?!" He asked in surprise. In response the strange looking tiny turned and rotated her wrist lightly now pointing her blade more at Vince's crotch, but not as a closely. As long as Vince didn't spring forward to try and strange Iopa he'd continue to remain a male neera.

"Ah! Nik! So glad I managed to catch you before..." She gave Vince a flat glance. "Somebody could take advantage of your naivate'. I forgot how treacherous even little settlements like this can be." She said smiling at him. "I figured I should come back and make sure you live till nightfall before I go on Neko slaying." She said her wispy tail swaying in Vince's face and she brought her hand around and sheathed her pin sword. Then she spotted the naga. "Oooh me...what a rare sight! A tiny naga...Well not so tiny." She said with a chuckle. Nik turned to see what she was talking about and his mouth dropped open in astonishment. She was a snake woman! Like the one who'd saved his life! Only...smaller.

"So they're called...Nagas." He said remembering the graceful way the creature slithered in and gobbled up the woman who'd tormented him for years and years of his life. He took a few steps toward her wanting to say something, but then shook his head. This wasn't the same Naga who'd eaten the horrible woman who had terrorized him for so long. It was a totally different one eniterly. Still she looked a as nervous as he had been when first entering this strange world...He felt bad for her. Besides from what he had seen Nagas seemed to be pretty fierce. Having one as a ally wouldn't be a bad thing. He sighed and stepped towards her waving shyly. "Ah...Hello there!" He said smiling nervously. She was so tall compared to all the others here that she made him almost feel the way his mistress had; small, frightened and above all else weak. He swallowed once and said this brilliant piece of dialogue; "How's thge veiw from up there?" Iopa did a facepalm whens he heard it. Her thoughts were thus: 'He's snake chow'.

Vince frowned as the strange tiny lowered her ‘sword’... toward her crotch. She talked to the new guy, and was informally introduced as ‘Iopa’. Odd name for an odd-looking person. Who then made a snide comment at him. And insulted this backwater ‘town’. And call herself a ‘neko-slayer’! Pffft! Neko-slayer? I had an army of those, and they weren’t snack-sized! Vincent thought, glaring at the back of the strange tiny’s head. Just as she decided to sweep her weird-ass tail in his face, and sheath her sword. The nerve of this woman! The absolute nerve!

...But she’d forgotten to take the precious metal back. The neera criminal held himself back from trying to brain the strange tiny, instead moving a hand into his pocket where he had the metal. If he could take it back to Negav… the price he could get from the desperate tiny families living there… it was almost too good to be true. And now this ‘Iopa’ was busy ogling at a random naga.

Turning away from the woman with a slight growl to show his (somewhat false, by this point) irritation, Vince stalked away from her and Nik. He glanced around at the others gathered, frowning slightly. “Well, I’m going back to Negav. Anyone coming with me?”

"Negav?" Carlyn had caught up with Tina by now. "That's a dangerous trip." She frowned slightly as she saw people had weapons drawn. "Oy, put the blades away or you can deal with me. Understand?" She looked to Tina. "I...really do owe you an apology. It seems my fears were baseless. I do hope you can forgive my rudeness and how I assumed you'd be predatory." She looked to the group and noticed Ellisa seemed paralyzed with fright. She walked over to the Tomthumb and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you ok? This naga isn't like the others, she's safe. You think I'd let a pred in the village and put people's lives in danger?"

Still with her Armes crossed behind her Neck May-Lee followed Carlyn and finally came close to the little Crowd - looking up in the Sky with a certain Expression on her cute, but mostly pretty serious looking Face and thinking: `Lively Bunch here - I hope they will stay that Way.´
They all here seem to be `Natives´ of a Kind - so May-Lee let them talk and would not disturbing them with unfitting Comments. So the redhaired Girl with her unique orange-black-coloured Jacket waited gently for what was happening next. Interesting People here around. This Carlyn seemed to be a Pro in her Job - and Tina seemed to be cute and nice, despite she has no... Legs and Stuff. The others of Course were totally Strangers to the vigilant Girl with her hidden glassy Thorns sticking out of her Back and her Leather Straps on her Underarms - so she held a Distance to the others as she held it to everyone. When even a harmless Hug can bring unimaginable Pain and Death, You have to be careful.

Eva would tremble slightly, walking towards Tina slowly. "So.....you are a peaceful naga?" She heard Vince talk about leaving and turned to him. "Yes I am going but I need to at least get a food sack before we head out." She turned back to Tina forcing a smile. Maybe it would be best if they left promptly as to avoid causing any more panic in the village.

Elissa's body jumped at Carlyn's touch, her eyes blinking rapidly like someone snapped back from a daydream. She looked to her shoulder, and followed the arm up to the Efrii's intimidating face with her blue eyes. Seeing that it was the efrii protecting the village that had a hold on her, she let out a gentle sigh of relief, and her expression became much more relaxed.

Elissa had to admit Carlyn had a point. If the naga had been a threat, the efrii wouldn't be casually escorting her right into the village. With a hard swallow, she began to step toward Tina, then stopped. She heard Eva mention getting food while she was in the village. She immediately whipped out her writing tools and jotted a couple notes. Tore the second one off and held the first out where Eva could see it.

"You and everyone else can get food at my home! Just follow me."

She held the second, torn note out to Tina.

"Welcome to our village. If you would like some food, please follow me to my home."

(Alright, i am back on track! For those who didnt know, I spent new year, and all the days that lied between then and now in bed with gastric flu, so I was unable to do anything.)


Slowly, some people approached, tiny men and women just like that bug and that small woman that have accompanied to here. It was so exciting to see! And seeing how suddenly, this time SHE was the big one, even though not nearly as much larger to count as someone giant or anything, she actually blushed slightly, before she tried to regain her composure. A small guy greeted her first, obviously nervous, as he asked her for the view. Tina gave him an odd look at first, noticing how the situation was probably as akward to these tinies as it was to herself, and then tried to answer nonetheless. "Oh, it's ehhh... great! I have never seen a village like this! It's really fancy here~ Where I come from, stuff is MUUUUUCH bigger though!" She said, emphazising her words by spreading her arms to demonstrate the giant measures of the human settlement she used to live in. Carlyn came to Tina and apologized, and Tina nodded with a friendly smile. "It's alright, bug, ehhhhh Carlyn! I told you you have very weird ways to look at Nagas like me! We're awesome! Mhm!" May-Lee stayed around as well, more silent than anything, but Tina might have been as well had she been in her sleeves, so she wasnt surprised. She remembered too well how May Lee entered the scene earlier, and spectacular entries werent among her trademarks. Which was alright of course. Another Tiny (Eva) approached the little Naga next, obviously afraid of her. Tinas smile disappeared when she saw that behaviour as she leaned down to be on the same level as her. "Yes I am~ I'm Tina, the heroic Grass Naga on a quest to discover the world!" She answered and as she said it, she leaned back up, proudly arching her back as she tried to stand at her full size. lastly, some other tiny talked about food though and this was what maked Tinas ears perk up. "Fooood? Yeah, sure, thank you!" In an outburst of joy she immediately slithered after Elissa, not suspecting any badwill from these tinies. Though maybe she should! That bug threatened her at first after all! But these tinies here looked more like humans and mice, so maybe those were different? And all those who were initially so scared of Tina, why would they mean any harm to her? She was the good guy in this story after all!

May-Lee stood there - watching these People for some Time by now. Progress would need some Time to show up - so she decided to help breaking the... `Ice´, so to say. She went over to Tina and positioned herself demonstratively right next to her, accompanying the Naga a Bit: "See? No bad Vibrations, no spooky Mumbo-Jumbo, no... whatever You suppose she should do right now. Okay - she looks different from us, but I like her. Tina is kind and lively. Nothing wrong with her so far."
Then her Face showed a nice Smile: "And I think, Differences make the Life interesting."
She looked at Tina from the Side, while walking with her - interesting Face. Her Eyes were interesting as well. Never seen someone like her. Compared to these Spiderbutt-Girls she encountered once, Tina is really an Angel of Sort. But... before anyone could make a Mistake May-Lee mentioned: "Perhaps You should be careful with me instead. I am venomous. Little Stings everywhere. Pretty nasty Stuff - it´s my Kind of Defense."
So May-Lee stepped back a Bit, for some Space again.

Eva would read the notes Elissa wrote. "That is very kind of you, lets go quickly before any more commotion is caused by lingering here....." She would follow her waving for everyone else to do so as well.

Carlyn nods and begins to follow the group, glad to see that they had been more accepting of the naga then she had expected. "Thanks for offering to feed us."

(Did I miss anything or isnt it nyahas turn to post for 2 weeks now? )
