Event Umi #4 | Freakshake

Postby Darkanra » Tue Jan 05, 2021 5:32 am

Owner:: Gallifrey


What are umikuris?
Umikuris (umi from the japanese word for sea and kuri from the first half of kuriōne) are a sea slug/human hybrid race living all across the world! They’re amphibious so they can survive on both land and sea, and come from many different walks of life!

They all feature some sort of glass limb system, and these liquid-filled limbs can be filled with liquids of all colours and forms! This phenomenon is still being researched, but the sheer variety of what can be found within these limbs and other traits means every umikuri is unique!

Recently they’ve decided to make contact with humans, so why don’t you take a dive and meet some of them yourself? Maybe one’ll take a liking to you!


Traits;;
    [uc] strange tongue
    [c] two liquid zones (legs + arms)

Bro I had so much fun with making this one a mess lmao

Tell me about a crazy thing they
did, or that happened to them~

Story:: "Okay so, maybe one would think this is my fault...they'd be wrong though! How was I suppose to know that board was gonna fall?! Oh.....there was a danger sign? I guess I didn't see that. Haha.... Anyway, I guess I should explain what happened huh? You see... one of my buddies challenged me to a paint-off, where we take turns grafi...I mean 'painting' some of the condemned buildings around town, public service and all that. Aren't we nice? So there I was, standing on the roof of this old cafe; a narrow board all that stood between me and the ground below, when suddenly it fell, sending me plummeting into a dumpster. A FREAKING DUMPSTER! Do you have any idea how large of a blow to my ego that was? I can never show my face in public again. But no, that's not the end of my humiliation by board. Just as I was climbing out of that horrible metal box, another board decided to fall, this one where my paints had been sitting. I'm sure you can guess what happened next. They landed in the same dumpster where I'd been yeeted and I ended up having to dig for them!... Wait, what do you mean that sounds like my own stupidity?! Where else would I have put the paints?! Stop interrupting my story! Now, before I was so rudely interrupted... I managed to find the paint but upon my inspection, I noticed a horrific tragedy. My beautiful paints had cracked on impact and gotten everywhere, including all over myself! I hate to admit it, but I may have cried a little bit. Manly crying of course, don't insult me! So yeah...that's why I am sitting here covered in paint and smelling like death... But anyway, could I get that drink now?"

Username:: _Nitroglycerin_
Name of Umi:: Kace
Pronouns of Umi:: He/Him
Story::
As you can probably guess Kace gets into his fair amount of mischief, mainly, graffiti art. Well this story goes back to when he was just starting to get really comfortable with his style. He was walking around his town when all of the sudden he saw the perfect spot to paint something, it was an ideal location, right under the railroad tracks, so it would be hard to cover, and in perfect view of a decently busy road. He had to put something there before someone else did, and so he decided he would that night.
As the sun began to set he grabbed his bag with some extra cans of paint, and his sketch book, with the finished sketch of what he planned on painting. He made his way to the bottom of bridge and immediately started looking for a way up. Bingo. He found a tree that just barely crossed over with the landing for a large metal support beam. He made his way up the tree and took a breathe before jumping onto the support beam. Once he calmed his fast beating heart he grabbed out his sketch book and began working on his design, a large discolored rose with rips in the petals and an eye in the center.
He was finally adding his signature when he heard it. Police Sirens. He immediately dropped his can and looked behind him, that's when he saw it, the small shop across the street with the lights on, as he looked towards the windows he saw a curtain quickly being shut. "Oh no," He whispered to himself, he quickly grabs his bag and sketch book and jumps back into the tree, trying to make his way down as quickly as possible, almost losing his footing a few times in the rush. He mumbles curses to himself as he sees the blue and red lights getting closer and he takes off running in the opposite direction. He runs until he is in his own yard, the sirens gone, he goes inside, dropping his bag and collapsing onto the couch. The next morning he walks past his newest creation, smiling to himself as he sees a few people have stopped to look at it. He notices two cops looking around the base of the bridge, and knowing no one could see him silently flips off the officers and sticks his tongue out before continuing on his way, knowing he wouldn't be caught

(Might not be the craziest story but definitely seemed in character for him)

Username:: Coraly
Name of Umi:: Kai
Pronouns of Umi:: he/him (amab)
Story::
"look. I’m telling you, it’s real! I’ve seen it-" the stranger rambled on, a crazed look in his eye, as if something had gone oh so wrong.
"yeah, yeah, man." kai replied, shaking his head at the old stranger. "there’s no such thing as a kitsune - or any mythical being!" kai put his hand down on the table, and he looked to the server and asked, "some ice water, please? I’ll pay for his tea." Kai gestured to the traveler across from him.
the travelers glanced at him "thank you kind soul - but I can pay for my own tea." the traveler turned around while saying, "be wary of the kitsune!" and left some coins the table before walking out.
"ok.. then," kai sighed, stirring the iced water that the server had handed him.
later that day, kai was painting by the seaside. he had a big canvas - and never painted on buildings like he used too. the sunset had an orange purple glow, and he liked to paint it, especially the sea, where he had come from. it was then the fox came.
at first it seemed normal, but then the tails spilt, fire came. he counted. there were nine, just like a kitsune. kai rubbed his eyes, what? the fire expanded, then was put out by the rolling waves. the fox was gone.

Pronouns of Umi:: He/Him
Story::

It was true, he was a hooligan! But he had a lot of fun getting into trouble, being a lone wolf with a bad boy reputation. Nothing would ever tame him! Then one night, a small kitten kept following him. He tried jumping into the alleys, climbing rooftops, diving behind cars... everywhere he looked said kitten would be right in front of him greeting him with a tiny 'Mew!' How was it tracking him so well?

When he started to paint, the kitten helped too. When he would steal, so would the kitten. It was like a miniature version of himself, a tiny mimic... he even started to play games with it to see if it would try to follow along and it did! Eventually he sighed out. "Whatever kid, you're Mimic now and I guess I'm stick with you..."

Nowadays Mimic still follows his friend, usually helping carry supplies or use his cute face to lure potential strangers and victims into a false state of security. They're worse than ever, but at least still having the time of their lives!

Story:: It was a pleasant sort of day the artist had decided to ruin, the cop thought to himself, still staring at the brick wall of his precinct that had been decorated overnight. A pattern of rainbows and stars, humans and umikuri alike standing together, with a slogan about justice and peace along the bottom, and a signature.
“The Chazz, they/them or he/him.” Hmph. Of course it would by my wayward little bro. The cop turned away from the mural and went back inside. Consequences could wait a little longer. After all, it was such a nice day.

Sorry for the delay! Your story was a very entertaining read though, I loved the narrative aspect of it.
Take good care of Quade!

There were loads of other great entries too, I had a lot of fun reading through them~
