1st Element: Written

[raavashing]

[Wan decided to test the book with something written. It was better than looking like a fool and talking aloud to himself in a place full of cold-shouldered strangers who were obviously looking for more of a reason to fight him. He didn't know what he'd done to upset the town he woke up in, but it was clearly enough for them to be threatening to his person. And he really didn't want to get into a fight with anyone and risking harming bystanders.

Raava's silence was also a concern, but she had grown less talkative the longer they were joined. They didn't need to talk that often anymore. So he didn't put much thought behind that. Not yet, anyway.]


To the book that speaks back: Hello.

I have recently woken up in this place and I don't know or recognize anything about it. I've traveled all over my world and nothing like this village exists. I would like to learn more about it, but the people aren't very friendly and most refuse to speak to me.

So I ask you, hopefully helpful book, for your aid.

I'm not really concerned about my safety, I can handle myself. But I have a friend... an animal friend. She's a catdeer and she answers to the name 'Mula'. If there are a lot of catdeer in this place, she'll be the one with a bedroll and small travel pack tied over her back. Please don't hurt her, she'll do you no harm. If she runs, that's okay. Just tell me where you saw her and I'll get her.

Thank you.

Yeah, the "native" people don't exactly like us.

[Hang on, though. Catdeer named... Mula?]

There aren't any catdeer around here. You wouldn't happen to know what 'bending' is, would you?

[Because everyone else around here just knows about cats and deer. Which is weird. She hasn't even made the association with Wan, yet. That's just completely out of the question, in her mind.]

[raavashing]

It's when you bend something, right? The way you wrote that makes it sound like it's something else. That I don't know about. I'm sorry.

Written

[rebonding]

[Ugh, major letdown. Here she thought she was on to something.]

Not really, no. I asked because it's a huge part of the world I'm from, but nobody here seems to know about it. It's the same as the animals. They have cats and deer here, but no catdeer. I know what they are, but no one else does, not including my friends from home.

[raavashing]

Oh. I'm sorry.

[He felt oddly like he'd personally let whoever was writing to him down.]

It sounds like there are a lot of worlds I never knew about. I only knew of two back in mine and I used to be able to move between them fairly easily. I'm not surprised to learn there are more, but I am surprised to have been brought to one without some sort of event to herald it.

Maybe that means Mula didn't come at all.

[ridingtheclouds]

My good friend... (´･ω･`;) might you please describe what a catdeer looks like?

[written]

[raavashing]

[What an odd face to draw in the middle of a sentence.]

A catdeer is... It has four legs, stands about waist high at the shoulder, has a large feline head with two mostly straight horns coming out the back and it's strong enough to carry a person. Mula is kind of an orange-brown in color with a white stomach.

Re: [written]

[ridingtheclouds]

All of the sudden, I kind of feel like a fool for asking. They are literally both cat and deer. Hence catdeer. Fascinating...

[written]

[raavashing]

I've never seen a cat or a deer. Just catdeer. And catowls. Spidercats... Are cats and deer common to your world?

voice;

[bolincredible]

Oh. Well! I'd be happy to keep an eye out for your catdeer for you, but I'm pretty sure you don't just see those babies running around in this world, so that might be a long wait? I'm also less of a helpful book and more of a... guy holding a different book who can hopefully still be helpful. So, you know. Hey.

[ He's pretty sure he nailed it. Yeah. Sounds great. ]

voice;

[raavashing]

Hi! Someone else has already told me about the books and that Mula probably can't be found here. Sorry for the confusion. I'm Wan. It's nice to speak to you hopefully-helpful-guy.

I assume you're from a different world, too?

voice;

[bolincredible]

Yeah, I've been known to make my worldly rounds once or twice. Pretty much just twice, counting... this pirate thing. The important thing is not to let a little confusion get you down! Nothing to be ashamed of. A mystical kidnapping and a creepy old fountain will do that to anybody. [ He personally was not a fan. ] Welcome to whatever they call this place, Wan. I'm Bolin.

voice;

[raavashing]

I wasn't feeling down. But thank you. I guess I should figure out what to do now. Where to go. I don't really like being called a pirate, but I can't exactly deny that I'm 'unwanted' by a lot of other humans, either. This world or my own.

Do you have any suggestions?

voice

[obstinates]

What the hell is a catdeer?

voice

[raavashing]

[He had just told someone else this, so being asked again was a little annoying. Still, he answered the question.]

It's a four legged animal that is waist tall at the shoulder with a feline face, two long horns and a tuft-like tail. It's feet are paws. It's an animal from my world.

It's so strange to hear how few people have ever heard of one.

voice

[obstinates]

[Get used to being annoyed if you talk to Naruto. Sorry, bro.]

So it's like what happens if a regular cat and a regular deer sorta... y'know... yeah.

Re: voice

[raavashing]

No! They aren't! Catdeer are normal!

voice;

[havesomedeath]

A cat...deer? So like a cat and a deer at the same time? Were they, like, magicked together or something? I didn't know that could happen!

voice;

[raavashing]

It's a natural born animal. They're common in my world.

voice;

[havesomedeath]

Whoa, really? That sounds awesome! We don't have that kind of animal in my world, that's for sure!

[arcadiasailor]

Well if it's part cat I'm sure she'll find you when she wants too. I didn't see Mikun until a few days after I got here.

Written

[raavashing]

She's not part cat. She's a catdeer. I don't even know what a cat is but if it's half an animal like it sounds then I feel really bad for that animal.

Re: Written

[arcadiasailor]

[then why is it a cat deer if they don't know what traits a cat has? ]

Journal must be translating the term wrong.

She's a small tiger striped fur ball my friend picked up. [As soon as he writes that he wonders if the man knows what tiger striped fur is.] Mostly she's our rat catcher.

[This is a voice Asami hasn't heard before. And a catdeer? She was just talking about them not too long ago]

I'm sorry, I haven't seen one around yet. But I'll let you know if I do?

[Voice]

[raavashing]

Thank you. I appreciate that. At this point I don't expect she'll be here, but it's good to know someone else is keeping their eyes open for her.

[Voice]

[ex_automobiles598]

If she wasn't with you when you got here she might not be, but both of my friends both have their animals here with them. So there's still a chance.

Who should i say is looking for her?
