Chant Ettinchi Nutter | born 10/25/2013 | 5 | Chant was often a happy ettinchi. He made up for the early disappointment of never knowing his parents by making lots of friends, and never gave up hope that he might get to see his sister hatch; a hope sadly never realised. He lived to see his son hatch, but also saw him die before being named. The one consolation of his old age was the thought of meeting up with Velveeta, his son and both his parents. In this, he was not disappointed. Chant has gone home. |

"Look, Look!" yells Chant, "a little green egg!!"
| |
|
"Green," says Chant, thinking... "it's not really me, is it? It suits Velveeta better." "That's true," says Nutter, "but what would you prefer?" Chant peers into the pond. "I'm light blue...is there a light blue?" "Not a particularly light blue, no, but there's a blue," Nutter tells him. "Hmm... well, that's better, I suppose," says Chant. Nutter points out that his stripes are darker, and he feels a bit better about it.

"What's all this partner business?" Chant asks Nutter. "It's so you'll have a special friend when you're older - and an egg, maybe two, of your own." Chant considers this. "But I have an egg," he says reasonably. "She just doesn't have a name yet." He wanders off to chat with his sister again.

Chant is sad to lose another friend.

(Ah, I see.)
"I know exactly what you mean. I spent a rather long time in my egg," Maika says, and sits down, "and by that time, my parents were already gone."
| |
|
(Well, he's only little and Maika is a little bit... driven?)
"I was holding on," says Chant, "I could hear him, I knew he was there. He used to talk to me, though I couldn't make the words out. Then I hatched out and he wasn't there any more - if only I'd got out of the shell sooner..." He looks very downcast.
| |
|
(Intense? Crazed? I thought she was just cheerful...)
"I knew your father, Tazer. I made a promise to him to try and find his children, and teach them about him." Maika looks at Chant's expression, and decides that she should probably try not to alarm him. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Chant!"
| |
|
Chant looks up at the strange green ettinchi with the intense manner and slightly crazed expression. "I'm Chant," he says, guardedly. "Did you know my parents?"
| |
|
Sometime in the afternoon, Maika arrives at the site of the first egg. She looks about, and then spots Chant. "Hello, child of Tazer!" She says cheerfully. "I am here to teach you all that I know, and pass on what your father has taught to me. I am here to learn the language of Creatchi with you, and to ask for what information you choose to give. My name is Maika. What's yours?"
