Prompt:
"I mean I don't really have anything interesting to share." Mystra laughed awkwardly. "I know big shocker... the cryptid hunter but I have no stories." She shifted a little bit.
"Well... I mean last summer I met a few chicoons... We found an underground lair of a secret organization. They had aliens and stuff. But that's not really the important part. It's uh actually the first time I made my friend friend..."

Prompt: "Oh well- I don't have any thaaat interesting to share, there is one story I guess I could say though," he paused, as if recalling it "It was a cold autumn day, me and my "friend" were practicing at an abandoned circus we were planning on buying.. we did a lot of tricks, like swallowing swords, juggling etc, etc ! but the one I think the best was when he went to balance dome plates, you know the trick right ?" He smiles, "anyways, he didn't notice there was a pie on one of the plates and he picked it up ! it ended up falling right on his snout ! then he poured some water on me, deserved but still ! probably the most interesting thing I could tell ya."

Chicoon: Dot
Option:
Prompt: Dot laughed along with Eyes as he told his story. It was so pleasing to hear! Dot was a storyteller by nature, but there was something about Eyes’ expectant stare that put her a little on the spot, especially when the story that came to mind was a little more personal, not a magnificent tale of heroes and quests.
“That does remind me of a time, when my friends and I were settling down after a long night of scary stories around the campfire. My dear friend Beau was scared out of their wits! Maybe we’d been a bit too cruel with the tales of ghosts and monsters. Haunt, who can be quite hard to spot in the dark, appeared behind them, and I’ve never seen someone jump so high in my life! I swear Beau flapped their wings as though they could fly away. When they landed back down, the tip of their tail got singed in the embers of the fire. Just a little fur, no harm done. The look on their face when they noticed smoking tip of their tail though… it was hilarious. They can see the funny side to it now, although Haunt didn’t get off lightly- they woke Haunt up with a splash of cold water the next morning.” Dot smiled at the memory and looked back up at the stars.

Chicoon: Author
Option:
Prompt:

Author listened to Eyes tell his story, he was certainly enjoying their time together beneath the stars.
"I do have a story I would love to share with you," He began. "It's the story of the time I met my first friends..."

~

The forest was silent, frogs and insects sang in the nearby shallow ponds. The light of day was beginning to fade fast, Author knew he needed to find someplace to wait the night out, travelling alone at night was a terrifying thought. A small and worried trill sound came from his shoulder as he turned his head to meet the gaze of Beaker, he softly nudged the Wonko with a reassuring smile.
"We'll be alright, I'll find us a spot where we can wait out the night." He spoke softly, the Wonko seemed to calm down and made himself comfortable on Author's back.

Author turned his gaze back into the forest that lay ahead of them, he squinted as it was getting harder to see. He could hear the fluttering of wings as the nighttime insects were beginning to awaken, the wind causing the leaves above his head to rustle. Author began to take a few steps forward, he kept at this pace for a while.

About an hour later, the light now completely gone his pace slowed. He let out a sigh as he struggled to see any place that would be safe for them to spend the night at. Until something strange caught his eye...a glowing light? No, three glowing lights...wait-- four? He blinked a few times and he was seeing right. Right ahead of him behind the bushes were three glowing flames...other Chicoons!
Author picked up his pace as he made a dash towards the bushes, once he was closer he could hear the Chicoons talking to each other, they sounded friendly.

After gathering enough courage, Author spoke. "Hello?"
The talking stopped and footsteps halted, as a voice responded to him. "Hello? Who's that?"
Author slowly stepped out from the bushes, keeping his head wings lowered as he did his best to offer a friendly smile. "Hi..! I'm Author...I am in need of a place to stay for the night, would you be able to help me?" He asked the strangers, they glanced at one another questioningly until one of them spoke up, a friendly smile on their face.
"Say no more, you can spend the night at my place!" He paused and laughed softly. "Oh my bad..you don't even know my name, I'm Eos, and this little guy here is my pal Soot!" He pointed to the Slug Cat on his shoulder. "These two are my friends, Birdie and Gizmo! No need to be afraid of them, they're very lovely Chicoons."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Author nodded his head, as the other two Chicoons smiled happily at their new friend. Eos motioned with his head for Author to join them as the group of four now made their way towards a small town.

"What brings you this way?" Eos asked softly.
"Nothing really, I love to travel and go out on adventures...although I'm always interested in finding new books. Author replied.
"Books? Oooh, you're in the right place," Eos said with excitement. "Gizmo knows of this abandoned book store, it's got tons of books inside it."
"I'd be happy to take you there in the morning!" Gizmo chirped happily.
Author gasped and then smiled. "I would love that! Thank you!"
The four Chicoons continued to talk and laugh amongst themselves as they walked into town and out of the darkening forest.

Chicoon: Gourdon
Option: -
Prompt: [499/600 words]

When Eyes seemed unsure of going to see the snowman display, Gourdon listed off the rest of the events that the winter festival had to offer. Eyes eventually - and somewhat reluctantly - settled on going stargazing. Gourdon raised an eyebrow at the decision. Eyes seemed very uncomfortable about it, but he was also adamant that they go. Gourdon agreed to take him, but kept a close eye on his new friend during their walk to the field.
Eyes visibly relaxed once they had both gotten comfortable and started gazing at the stars. Gourdon himself felt a little relieved. It was tough to see his new friend so on edge. But then Eyes started talking and Gourdon kept listening, and slowly the tension in Eyes' shoulders faded away. By the end of Eyes' story, they were both chuckling. Eyes looked at Gourdon curiously, asking him if he had any stories to share. Gourdon was silent for a little while, trying to think of a good one.
"There was this one time," he started. "A friend of mine brought me a lizard that they'd found somewhere. She was an iguana, you may have seen them? I keep reptiles, so we figured that I could take care of it until we could find it a home."
He paused, grinning to himself as he recalled what had happened.
"What neither of us realized was that the lizard was getting ready to lay eggs. I'd built her this temporary enclosure to stay in while she was with me. It wasn't my best work, but I guess it was nicer than wherever she had come from? There were a ton of places for her to hide, and I think she finally felt comfortable enough to lay her eggs."
He took a moment to explain the set up, using a lot of exaggerated arm movements to describe how he'd put everything together.
"Because there were so many plants and rocks and stuff for her to hide in, we didn't realize that she'd laid her eggs. A couple of months went by and she was still with me. I came down the stairs one morning-"
He snorted, taking a moment to regain his composure and continue.
"I came downstairs and there were baby lizards everywhere! I've never seen so many lizards. They were all over the enclosure; on all the plants and all the walls. It took me like three hours to find them all. We put them all in another tank and then counted them all up. All in all I think it was something like fifty-six baby iguanas."
He smiled at Eyes, hoping this story was as interesting as he thought it was.
"We ended up naming them all and adopting them all out. It took ages to find them all homes, but they're all doing really well now from what I hear. I ended up keeping the mom, too. If you have any friends with an iguana, there's a good chance they're from that clutch."

Chicoon: Mimey
Option:
Prompt: "Hm, I suppose I should tell you a story about me now, hm?" She looked over at Eyes, who was interested in what Mimey had to tell. She took one more look up to the stars, which danced in a flurry of glitter through the sky and she smiled. "So, as a kid, I was kind of an outcast. I was a total weirdo, and being like, gigantic compared to the others didn't make me a popular candidate for a friend. So one day, I overheard some kids talking about how there was gonna be a super rare shooting star that night. I got excited, because I love the stars, because they're magical, and I'll tell you why.. So that night, I snuck out of my room, because it was like, 12 or something, and I ran into the woods into a large meadow clearing. I jumped up onto a large rock I'd always play on, and I looked up just in time to see it strike the sky." She glanced up into the sky. "It was brilliant. Of course, I made a wish on it. I wished for a friend, someone who was weird, like me. So I made my wish, and ran home before my parents knew I was gone. I woke up the next morning feeling really weird, so I went and looked in the mirror, and saw I had some wacky new limb. Didn't look like my fur at all, and it scared me when it said 'Hi, I'm Silly!' " Mimey purposely did a funny accent for Silly's voice, to which he shook his head. "I don't sound like that, Mimes.." She giggled. "Sure... well, anyways, that shooting star granted my wish. I met someone who was weird, and he became my best friend." Mimey looked up to the sky. "Hey.. that looks just like the star I wished on!" She pointed to the sky, awe-struck with amazement. A giant star with a rainbow trail behind it stained the sky a bright, beautiful array of colors. "Quick, Eyes; make a wish!" (345 words)

Chicoon: YOGI
Option: ?
Prompt: Eyes had nervously followed along with Yogi's suggestion to go stargazing, and Yogi was relieved once the other Chicoon began to relax and admire the stars. Yogi smiled softy, as he quietly watched Eyes. However, when Yogi noticed Eyes wiping a tear from his cheek, he hesitated for a moment, before reaching out to hold his paw. "I'm glad you can see the stars again." He murmured gently. When Eyes began to tell his story, Yogi was grinning the entire time. After the story ended, Yogi wanted to tell a story too. "I used to have this friend...Leo was his name." Something had happened to Leo in the past, and Yogi missed him dearly. "One time me and Leo went fishing, and we took this small boat out on the lake, hoping to catch something tasty that we could cook for dinner. Leo always wanted to catch the biggest fish possible. I was always more practical." Yogi chuckled. "So Leo ended up hooking this monster fish. At first I thought it was a shark and told him to release it. Of course, Leo didn't listen, and he kept this thing hooked to his fishing rod for several minutes. The fish was so strong that our boat started to pull forward, and before I could warn him, our entire boat flipped, leaving me a wet, grumpy mess." Yogi laughed after he finished his story, before saying, "At the time I was pretty upset, but it was kind of funny now that I think about it."

Prompt: Cheeky chuckles at the story that Eyes told. It reminded her of something that she did once in the past. She says so, explaining, "I like to experiment with mixing different kinds of drinks together. Y'know-- Tea and stuff like that. It doesn't always go well, though."

She goes on to explain the time that she accidentally mixed garlic powder into her green tea. It tasted absolutely awful, and it wouldn't have happened if she didn't have a stuffed nose at the time. Oh well! Now she knows to keep the cooking ingredients in a different cabinet.

Chicoon: montgomery
Option: n/a
Prompt: a feeling of terror started to overcome montgomery - one that he tried his hardest to mask out of kindness and respect for eyes. he should’ve expected that he’d also have to share a story or two to keep the conversation going, but.. he was lost for a topic.

he cleared his throat, thinking of the first thing that came to his mind. “this summer, i went on a lot of different adventures! some of my smaller memories include cloud watching.. i saw chicoon shapes!!” the chicoon glanced at the night sky, reminiscing on the past few months. “oh, and i hunted for cryptids..-”

he then remembered a very important memory to him. “would you like to hear what happened to me after we parted ways in the maze?” montgomery took a pause then began speaking again. “i don’t know what exactly happened, but i suddenly found myself in a field, similar to this one actually. i’m not sure how i got there. it’s.. it was strange. but, it was freeing being outside after being in the maze for so long.”

another pause.

“then.. then i cried. i’m not sure why, even still today. but i did.” he began tearing up. “i ate the fruits you gave me, too. they were quite delicious, honestly,” montgomery added.

“i.. don’t know what else to say..” he admitted. “i’m sorry for getting emotional, really,” whispered the chicoon as he buried his head into his hands. [242 words]
