✧ Chao Garden ✧
Welcome to Smash Academy's Chao Garden!
Who: Everyone!
Where: The Lake
When: Backdated to Sonic's flubbed network post on August 23
What: Looks like Smash has been keeping their lake pristine, because the cutest presence to grace Sonic's universe have taken a liking to it!
Chao (pronounced 'chow', sing. & plur.) have found themselves a comfortable little paradise to call their own on Smash Academy's grounds, enjoying their days swimming around, playing games, and taking a gratuitous amount of naps in the warm kindness of the Sun's light.
Most of what you see around the lake now are these little guys in their more neutral, infant forms, and some of the eggs that Sonic was seen holding in his video post are nestled snug and comfy in tall patches of grass. Either way, Chao have an evolutional struggle to contend with, but perhaps a little help from another life form can give them an idea on what they can truly become.
In order to avoid making this the longest log opening possible, please visit this entry in Sonic's journal for all the information you need about how Chao will work! I had to make some adjustments from the original concept, obviously.
As for the log itself, consider it an opportunity to mingle while picking up your Chao (like the dorm log!) You don't need anything from me.
THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY
She shouldn't. When an egg had appeared in her own bed three years ago, she wasn't ready. She sent it away to someone she knew could raise the Eevee better than she could, and that was that. At least, it was supposed to be. She'd met her son several times since then, although she never told him who she really was. What was the point? The school was no place to raise a child. It was hardly a place to live as an adult.
But sometimes, when she visited Viridian and watched Casca sleep against her... She wished she'd kept him.
Now there were eggs all around the lake, mocking her. Whose were they, anyway? What was this whole Chao business? It would be wisest to just leave them be, or maybe call animal control. Even with the Kraken gone, there was a Gyarados in the lake, so they could get gobbled up. Or something. It was better for them to be as far from the school's crazy bullshit anyway.
The only reason she was out by the lake in the dead of night was to see just how bad this infestation was and figure out how to best deal with it. That was all.
An egg lay at her feet.
You need this, Blacky.
She was as equally unsurprised to see Blacky out and about at this hour, being dead and all. Ghosts, etc. Heh.
She kept her distance for the time being, clicking off the flashlight and figuring she hadn't gone unnoticed, but she may as well not create a beacon of attention toward herself.
Oh, hey, a Chao was awake. It sat up, rubbing its eyes and staring at Evve. She crossed her arms and stared back at it.
This can only end in friendship.
She did make her way closer, since shouting would only wake the Chao. Who knew if they were the type to cry or not. It looked like Evve already managed to wake one, anyway...
"What are you doing out so late? You might evolve if you become nocturnal."
She knew there was far more to become an Umbreon than that. But how could she not antagonize people, if it meant a distraction from her own numerous issues?
no subject
Evve turned to Blacky with a cool smile, though every marker that would say it was legitimate on her face was far from present.
"I'd ask you the same," Evve returned, looking upon the sleepy Chao as it approached her and added, "But we both know you don't have to worry about evolution unless you trip and crack your skull on a rock at sunset." She ticked an eyebrow as it fell across her shoes. Boy, that thing looked dumb.
no subject
What would evolving even do for Blacky besides give her a dumb hat? Eh. No thanks.
She pointed to the Chao with a frown. "Well, he seems to like you."
no subject
"I suppose he does." Though he was starting to droop backwards, ready to go right back to sleep, no matter the position he was in. Ah well.
Evve looked back at Blacky as the Chao began to sink back even further in her grip, mouth hung up and starting to drool. "Seems many of the students have taken it upon themselves to adopt them already. I suspect the custodian will be cleaning up dead - " She took a second to recall the Sonic's video feed. "Chao within the week."
no subject
Evve was definitely on the mark about the students, though. They were probably even worse.
"Death might be a mercy on them, providing they can stay that way." Try as she might to seem detached, there was a definite sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Ugh. This baby thing was really getting to her, wasn't it. "...You're not thinking of taking one back as well, I hope."
no subject
"I might," Evve confessed, "or I might not."
She wouldn't say it, nor would she lie if asked, but Evve did find them rather adorable. And, if anything, she would agree with Blacky on the front of that endearing-stupid balance that weaved its appeal together. She wouldn't mind a companion in this place...
And that last bit she may never admit.
"I imagine that is what you are here for, then? To adopt?" Evve peered over. "Didn't take you for the mother type."
ruh rohno subject
Instead, she just shook her head. "I'm... not the mothering type at all. I suppose every once in a while I wonder, but... this is no place for a child. Or dozens of them. I've lost count of how many there are."
no subject
The Chao slipping between her fingers had moved to flop forward instead of back, but before it could wobble in the opposite direction, Evve drew its big head in to plow into her chest.
BOOBSIt looked content with that, arms up and pawing out its new pillows until it was settled and comfortable again."Better sooner than later," she added, voice dipping lower than usual.
