Day Nine Individual Responses

He looked down at the chicken and thought for a moment. How? When? Where and WHY? Honestly he shouldn't question it too much as someone was already following him around- and he had an irrational fear of...the Other Anthracite. He took a quick look over his shoulder before looking back at the chicken. Fine. He'll approach it. But not...normally. He decided to do a dodge roll while yelling "HUH HUP CHEYA," before rolling in front of the chicken and letting out his final scream, "HYAAAAT".

The chicken stares at Anthracite, unamused. It starts to cough, and you see it cough up... a rupee? Oh, no, it's 1x Ice Crystal Nightlight!

cane excitedly waves to the chicken. “hi there!!! i thought it was just me down here! what brings you to the pit?”

The chicken leads you a couple of yards into the Pit, where you stumble upon a nicely made nest topped with a purple blanket. You get the sense that it lives here.

He sighs, "You nearly gave me a heart attack.." He grumbles as he reaches down to offer some pets to the chicken, "...Do you know the way out of here?" He asks softly, though not expecting an answer

The chicken looks up at GodFather and beckons him to follow with its wing. It's probably not leading him out of the Pit... but where else is there to go?

Everett stared at the chicken, their mouth wide open. “Uh, bock bock?” They said, trying to communicate with the small animal. “Bock bock bock?” Everett said. They hoped they were saying a greeting, or asking ‘how are you’. But with their luck, they were probably saying a string of curses. “What are you doing down here?”

The chicken bocks back in a way which Everett interprets as "Hello! My name is Mariana. I live down here."

"I don't own my own companion unfortunately but I heard of these creatures called Goobs! Not to be confused with me lol. I would love to own one sometime. What do you think I should name it? What companion would you like to have?

When Goob returns the next day, there is not a note waiting for them. They look around, confused, hoping to find one, but they only find 1x Companion Gummies with the word "Goob" written on the tag.

Puddles skids to a stop when he sees the chicken. He stands there and stares at it for a second. Their left eye blinks... and then their right. He slowly lowers himself down to lay on the ground so their face is even with the chicken. "Oh hello there." He smiles and wiggles his wings in a happy greeting. His tail wags with excitement, throwing a few drops of water around.

"You look so cool! Are you a bird? What kind of bird are you?" He tilts his head looking over the chicken. "Oh oh I'm Puddles! Nice to meet you." He offers their weird shaped hand for a handshake. They stand there for a second waiting for a response before giggling. "Oh right you probably can't shake my hand. That's ok! We're still friends now. Do you want a rock? I've got a few! I keep getting hit in the head by them for some reason. But that's ok! I love rocks. I give all my friends rocks! Hmmm let me find a special rock for you..."

Puddles digs through his secret rock stash and pulls out a brown rock with golden sparkling bits. "This one reminds me of your feathers." He smiled and set the rock down by the chicken's feet. "It's official. We're friends now!."

The chicken stares at the rock and its pupils widen to a frightening amount. It snatches it up in its beak and does a happy dance before tucking it under its wing, out of sight. As it is tucking the rock away, the chicken pulls out 1x Crystal Ball and gives it to Puddles.

Bobo greets the lovely puffball chicken by finding some bird seed in the pit somehow. He then continues to pat the little chicken on its fuzzy head. ANd then waddles its waddles

The chicken seems content that Bobo is waddling its waddles. It digs under its wing and pulls out 1x Frosting Feet Cookies for Bobo.

Welp... It wasn't a puppy... But hey, a chicken is even better! Zodiac walked up to it and picked it up immediately, placing it on top of his head. He decided he was going to keep it for the duration of him being in the pit.

The chicken wiggles its way off of Zodiac's head, but clucks and seems happy to stay next to him.

he kind of just stared at it for a moment
he then apologized so much for throwing a rock at them. and then. drop kicked it.

Sweaty emerges from the depths of the Pit holding the chicken. He places the chicken at Motley's feet, stares at him, and then drop kicks Motley out of the Pit. Motley flies into the air and lands on the surface in a snowdrift, overall unscatched but sore.
When he raises his eyes, there is a note from the Pit. It reads:
"Congrats! You found the one way to get out of the Pit. You are now banned from the Pit for life."
(You are free to return to the Pit with another Chicoon you own, however if Motley returns nothing good will happen to you.)

Blue Moon Lagoon stares back at the chicken, immediately initiating a staring contest.

It doesn't last very long. The chicken won. "Friends now?" asks Blue Moon Lagoon, not knowing if the chicken can communicate with a chicoon, let alone understand a chicoon.

Like a cat, the chicken blinks slowly, which Blue Moon Lagoon can assume means that the chicken sees them as a friend.

Mandarin hadn’t visited the pit in DAYS as he found it rather boring after a while. Though to his surprise one night he woke up in the pit. He was baffled on to how he ended up in this situation. As he stared around him in the darkness seemed to be creeping ever closer. Feeling his body begin to shake as he sensed something come closer. Was this the think leaving notes and screaming? If it was it had to be horrifying. It kept getting closer and closer tell it was right in front of him. He jumped squealing then falling silent as he looked at what was in front of him. It was a chicken of all the things to be in the pit with him it was a chicken. Laughing at him self at how scared he was previously. Though this little thing was giving him the creeps a little its eyes seemed to be staring into his soul. “Want to do you want?” he asked as if the creature could talk back to him. Then an idea popped into his head. He always carried extra oranges with him even when he was sleeping. Never know when you need one! Pulling one out he offered it to the chicken ”Want an orange?” he asked as he set it on the ground in between them.

The chicken stares at the orange for a moment, then starts to peck at it, eating both the outer skin and the juicy fruit inside. Beak covered in orange goop, it digs under its wing and pulls out 1x Frosting Feet Cookies for you to enjoy with it.

"Hi again! Oh, companions! They are very neat. I don't have one currently but if I can meet one and we get along nicely, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Even though I'm an introvert, I do really enjoy the company of others. I generally prefer being in smaller, close-knit groups, rather than a larger social setting. If I had a companion, I'd love to encounter a Slunky or mOth. The slunkies are funky critters with spiral antennae and a spiral body center. They have a long snout and a soft tail. Also, the mOths are big, fluffy bugs with tall ears and big wings. I think both of those species are very charming. Do you have any favorites as well?

When Cypher returns the next day, there is no note for them. Worried, they begin to search, and in the snow they find a crude drawing of what seems to be an among'sus... and a chicken?

Hello friend! I'm glad that you liked the drawing, I'll have to start bringing you some more to look at! I'm curious though, are you keeping the Chicoons inside of you prisoner, or can they leave when they wish to? I hope they're okay down there. On another note, I decided to draw you a pet rock! They're really adorable little guys! I used to have one when I was just a little whelp, but unfortunately, I lost it. Have you ever seen a pet rock before? How is your little companion doing? I look forward to your next note!
~Sincerely, Artemis.

When Artemis returns, there is no regular note for them. There is a torn piece of paper which seems to have been scrawled upon in a frantic manner. It reads:
"Not prisoner. Cannot get out. Mariana well."
Attached to the note is 5x Companion Gummies that seem to only be redeemable for 5 Pet Rocks

A chicken was definitely not what Pumkin was expecting, but it was a lot better than anything else! There was silence between the two, until Pumkin attempted to try and communicate with this chicken. They waved a wing and waved politely. Maybe it was friendly after all?

The chicken waves back.

Day Ten

Outside of the Pit
When you arrive the next day, happy to speak to your Pit friend, you are shocked to find what is waiting for you. Instead of a carefully written note with a unique greeting, there is only a small scrap of paper. The words "please help" are scrawled on it, and it seems torn at the end, like there was more to be said. You cannot find the other part of the note, no matter how hard you look.

What you do find, however, is a strange staircase in the snow. It leads down into the ground, growing darker and darker until you can't see what's at the bottom. As you observe the staircase, Egg floats up the stairs.

"I see you've found... the Pit," the tiny chicoon says. "It's been causing us a lot of problems lately. Follow me, and you can help solve those problems and get our missing friends back."

Do you follow Egg?

Prompt:

If you wish to fling your Chicoon into the Pit, you may do so at any time. However, once inside of the Pit, you cannot leave.

Inside of the Pit
The chicken preens under its wing for a moment before looking back up at you with a note in its mouth. The note, you can tell, is in Sweaty's handwriting. It reads:
"My name is Mariana. I use it/its pronouns. Please follow me."

The chicken turns after handing you the note and starts to walk away. You follow it. It feels like you are walking for ages without seeing anyone or anything... but then Mariana finds another chicoon! It hands this chicoon the same note, and they join you. They find another chicoon, give them the note, and they follow. Eventually, you and Mariana have gathered a pack all walking in silence.

Eventually, you reach the wall of the Pit. Mariana turns to you all, stares into your soul with its Pit Eyes, then looks back at the wall and walks into it. Mariana is engulfed in the Pit. Some of the other Chicoons try the same, but only smoosh their faces into the wall. Mariana pops its head back out, this time accompanied by Sweaty.

"This is the entrance. You have to enter right here."

Are you the first to enter, or do you wait for a bit?

Participating Chicoon: Zodiac
Prompt: Mariana was the name of the chicken. Zodiac quite liked the name. Welp, it seemed like it was leading him somewhere, so he followed without question. Watching as Mariana walked into the wall, Zodiac didn't hesitate. He walked after it no questions asked. Of course he was the first to enter after the first companion he saw down in the pit.

Prompt: Tangerine squints suspiciously at the small chicoon, obviously not trusting them. "What's going on here? You arent going to hurt the pit, are you?" He asks, anger barely hidden under his voice. "I'll follow you, but only if you promise the pit will be safe. They are.... I am... I love them. The pit is extremely important to me," he seems close to tears but holds them back. He takes a few steps toward until he is on the first stair. His legs are shaking. Is his friend okay? He is so worried. He doesnt want anything to have happened.

Prompt: Tristan found himself looking at the note, and immediately his wings start flapping rapidly. That sounded serious! He needed to help! Oh what could he do? How could he help? He could try and jump into the pit but most chicoons he had seen fall in never came back again! Well, save for the one who was yeeted out but he was not going to talk about that.

As he paces, thinking over his options with the note in hand, he notices the staircase finally. Walking over towards it, he nearly jumps and falls on his tail as Egg floats up. "I er... yes! Of course!" He manages to reply, rubbing his sore behind to straighten himself properly. "Please lead the way! I want to help!"

Prompt: Monty held the torn note tightly as he scurried down the stairs, hoping for answers or at least the rest of what he presumed was the Pit's note, instead nearly bowling right over the mysterious figure. He stared back at the tiny Chicoon after their small speech, visibly confused, "Problems? But the Pit's just been sending letters and asking me about companions?" He was visibly hesitant, but nodded anyway, "I'll follow you, but only if you tell me more. And promise me that whatever we're doing to save the other Chicoons won't hurt the pit too"

Participating Chicoon: Borgata
Prompt: Borgata returns to the pit the very next evening, unsure of what he will discover. He is drawn by the screams and he has considered throwing himself down into the abyss in order to rescue whoever is trapped down there, but this time when he appears he finds a note asking for help, and a snowy staircase leading down into the pit. Couldn't the chicoons down there just walk up the staircase?

He freezes momentarily, unsure what to do, but then a tiny chicoon floats up the staircase and requests assistance to solve the mystery of the pit and get back the missing friends. Borgata decides to leave a note at the surface, in case anyone from his tribe returns the next day. It simply says "Going down into the pit, be back soon. DO NOT attempt to follow! - Borgata"

After leaving it beneath a rock, sticking out so it is sure to be seen, Borgata replies, "I would be glad to help you. We must rescue the missing chicoons!" Without further ado, Borgata yeets himself into the pit.

Seeing as Mariana is indeed the first friend Blue Moon Lagoon has made in this giant world, he decides to follow tail end first, not wanting to risk injuring their front limbs or head. She does not want to be left behind by the only creature xe can call a friend.

Besides, that chicoon over there clearly trusts it! For Mariana!! <3

Prompt: Artemis felt his heart sink as he read the note left by the pit. " No.. " Artemis trembled. The pit, his new, yet beloved friend was in danger, but what could have happened to it? While Artemis was searching for the other half of the pit's note, he noticed a staircase, from which a Chicoon arose from. As the small Chicoon spoke, Artemis felt his feathers stand on end as a mixture of fear and anger flooded over him. " What did you do to the pit-?! " He shouted. Soon after, Artemis calmed himself, but couldn't seem to help glaring at the smaller chicoon. " I'll go with you, but only if it means that the pit wont be harmed. " Artemis huffed stubbornly and followed Egg, and he whispered under his breath. " I'll help you.. I have to. I can't let anything happen to you. You mean too much to me-. "
