PRIMARY SETTLEMENT; NANAUE'S HOUSE ☠
[ Maybe you have heard of the red barn-shed on the outskirts of the settlement where a seven foot manshark allegedly makes his home. Maybe that manshark himself has proudly told you (with his limited vocabulary) that he is in fact a home owner and this is where he sleeps. Or maybe you just stumble upon the area all on your own, it doesn't really matter!

The small barn (or large shed) sits quietly in a meadow, not far from a small pond. With the changing season there's less dragonflies flitting around the pool's murky, slimy surface, but you can still hear a small chorus of frogs making their presence known. The barn itself is brightly painted, with three of it's sides covered in child-like doodles and drawings of happy people, flowers, fish, and other things. One side has a full English alphabet drawn on it (or whatever it translates to in your own language). ]

BAD DOG!

[ That deep shout is all the warning you get before something that is very much NOT a dog comes bursting out of the barn with some rags in its mouth. It spins around and shakes them violently before eyeing you and lowering its held with a low growl...

...

Or in the afternoon, perhaps after lunch, you might find a more peaceful interaction between these two creatures. Nanaue tosses a very large bone across the meadow, and his varren happily rushes after it in a game of fetch. ]

Good dog. [ He will say as it approaches. The varren does not seem yet to grasp the return part of fetch, though, and you might watch the pair wrestle over the bone for a few minutes... ]



PRIMARY SETTLEMENT; SKOOL ☠
[ Seated in the center of a group of children is Nanaue. This is not exactly a strange sight if you've been in the Primary Settlement for the past six months. The children has taken a liking to the monstrous man, who sits almost docile in their midst. Sometimes their games are more rough, with the children trying to tackle and defeat him. Today, it seems like they are decorating him, or maybe practicing for a worship related art project. Some of the children have strung together bones on thread and are wrapping him like a morbid Christmas tree. Others are painting directly onto his hide common symbols and runes and even just regular letters.

Nanaue himself is breaking off bones from the strings and idly chomping down on them. ]



NOCWICH; ☠
[ Nanaue doesn't often visit Oleuni Square. When he does, he can be found lounging in the hot springs - or perusing the market stalls.

There's a particular stall he's patronizing today that sells bone carvings, sculptures and jewelry. Nanaue picks up little statuettes to examine at eye level, under the wary watch of the artist and seller. When he moves on to the jewelry he holds up a necklace and gently places it atop his flat head... for it is far too small to fit over it to sit on his collarbone. ]

How look? [ he turns to ask guilelessly at whoever is nearby. The artist catches your eye nervously, shaking his head as if to tell you not to encourage this... ]



HORIZON; ☠
[ Nanaue's domain, much like the man-creature himself, hasn't changed very much since he first created it. The waves are gentle and his cave still smells very questionable.

On the rare occasions throughout the month that he can be found here, Nanaue is almost always out swimming. He stays beneath the surface, unseen except for the massive fin that sometimes breaks through the waves.

Alternatively, maybe he wanders into YOUR domain. He does like exploring new places. He might be standing at whatever passes for an entrance, staring with his flat, black eyes. ]



WILDCARD; ☠
( Something not on here? I'm down for anything! Feel free to mix and match or make up a new scenario! )

[ With the offer declined he swallows it up himself.

The question causes him to pause momentarily. ]

Big fish...? [ He glances at it, then shakes his head. ] No... I not swim here. Go far.

[ Not before. He went very far out this time.

He shoves some more fish flesh into his jaws. ]

[carmesi]

[suppose that sharks are apex predators for a reason. wanda guesses that having hands and feet makes nanaue even more threatening to any lifeform that he sees as his next meal.

the ocean, though, that’s an interesting area of exploration. what more is there to this world, outside of abraxas?]

Have you gone to the island nearby?

[the one seen in maps, just off the coast to the south.]

[nomnoms]

[ Again, he shakes his head in between chomps. ]

You want go... ?

[ To an island! ]

[carmesi]

[wanda scrunches her nose at that—definitely not at nanaue chomping through his meal. is it rude to stare? she tries not to.]

I haven’t thought about going myself, but I’m just curious about it.

Would you want to go?

[nomnoms]

[ He doesn't notice, and if he did he wouldn't mind! ]

You want go, I go.

[ He glances up at her as he says this. He'll go with her, if she wants company. Otherwise, he doesn't seem to care. ]

[carmesi]

[would she be able to go? conjure up a boat, or raft, of sorts, and head off? nanaue could just swim there. it's not really something she feels an urgency about, though she's definitely curious.]

I'll let you know if I do.

Are the seas dangerous? [well, leviathan aside—?] Do you see a lot of those around, or only further out?
