T'IS THE SEASON
CHROMO'S PL: 1,000 (176k BASE | SUPPRESSED)
The holidays were a confusing, but welcome time for Chromo. He'd run around and "borrow" things from others to gift to himself, since apparently the winter season was all about giving. Now, though, he knew slightly better. He was a changed bio-android that was still trying desperately to right his wrongs.
...Ignoring the wailing security alarms of the candy shop he just ransacked, Chromo was quick to take off with a bag of treats in tow and several totaled police cars behind him. It took all his willpower not to eat the delicious snacks then and there. He needed them intact for his perfect plan, starting at the town park nearby. He could see several packs of children running around. Some hurled snowballs at each other, another pair were tugging a sled along, while one other kid was staring confused at the distant plume of smoke from Chromo's earlier "borrowing" spree.
"HEY NERDS!" His screechy voice called from the heavens, perking all of the park-goers attentions. "E-ER... I MEAN COOL PEOPLE! YES!" Chromo hastily corrected his word choice. "I COME FROM THE NORTH POLE WITH PRESENTS! FEAST YOUR EYES! AND MOUTHS!" With that, the beetle ripped open his bag like a pinata. From the heavens rained a flurry of candy. The excited shouts of the other kids below soon followed. Chromo managed to catch one Hetap Gusher in his mouth for himself, smiling in pride. He ignored the distant police sirens wailing and pat himself on the back for his good-ish deed. Tarch liked being good to people, and this was being good to people, right?
His attention soon turned to a nearby Baotendo shop. Another target! A sly grin spread across his face as he propped himself atop a tree, getting ready to pounce again... Chromo didn't quite fully understand how to be a decent person, but at least he had the spirit...?

Items: Z-Sword, Scouter
Another day had come, with training on mind... Sgiath was getting a bit irritable at this, though he knew he needed to keep it up. This time, Frederick gave Sgiath a outlandish idea: Swim across the frigid oceans, jog to the center of jingle village, and then jog back to the coastline he came from and swim back to the mainland! Sgiath asked the spirit if it was out of its mind, to which it specified in a dismissive tone, 'Ah, you can do it! It's not like you're not a cold-grown viking. This'll be a cake walk for you! Also, if you do this, you get that much closer to smack that octopus-headed warrior out cold for being a disgrace.'
The encounter with Kraktus, the squid-faced warrior he met at that BBA base raid in the Fortuneteller's Desert, had turned into a verbal trigger for Sgiath to get motivated to do something. Frederick knew this all too well, and before doing this insane workout, Sgiath had gone to a store in the Northern capital that sold all sorts of scuba gear for cold environments and got himself a skin tight suit with built in nano-machines that vibrated at tiny levels to produce heat to the body's needed temperatures to function. With Sgiath's bountiful energy at the ready, the human swordsman would be able to make the insane trek no problem!
Make the trek, Sgiath would, getting onto the shore line with the nano-machine suit getting to work to evaporating the cold moisture off him as he stomped through the snow on the beachhead. It kept him warm enough that he'd not be helplessly shivering, but he was certainly at the mercy of the arctic weather of isle! Sgiath chose to make the trip fast, bolting through the trees with his ki propelling his steps. He took long strides, getting to Jingle village's outskirts in the matter of minutes! Upon seeing the plumes of smoke, Sgiath slowed down to a natural jog, his falcata swaying side to side with each motion of his hips. He was panting for air, that was for certain with each vaporous plume billowing out notably!
Sgiath's scouter glasses, due to the cold water that invaded its systems, picked up the power level of 1,000 in the village. There'd been shrieks of children and the sounds of sirens wailing from the inside of town, the swordsman cursing under his panting breath.
'That doesn't sound good,' Frederick muttered to Sgiath's head, before stating, 'Investigating the scene should be your priority.'
"No duh," Sgiath replied with a raspy voice, picking up the pace to a modest run. He was able to get to the town quick enough to get a better ear on what was going on. Giggling... Sgiath was able to hear giggling of children in the streets. Was there a event going on in town?
Sgiath got around one of the building corners and saw that there'd been children through the main road, picking up what looked like candy off the roads! Some of the police officers were trying to confiscate their prizes, all of whom were caught by the police pouting sadly as they surrendered the candies over. The rest ran back to their homes and into alleyways to snack upon the gifts! Sgiath approached closer, coming into view on the street now for onlookers to see. He was probably one of the strangest sights to see that day, wearing what looked like a deep diver's spandex suit with a machete-like weapon on his side and a belt strapped to his waist with the trademarked Capsule Corporation logo on it; these capsules containing his basic needs like fresh clothes and camping gear.
The swordsman was able to see more of the scene as he got closer. Down the road, twenty yards away, there'd been a candy store with largely broken glass and containers once full of the candies the children were trying to scamper off with. Had these children been so desperate to ransack a candy store? From what Sgiath was able to learn, when he got close enough: No. The children who were caught had been spinning a story that some huge talking bug had broken in, snagged as many candies that its limbs could carry to put into a bag before carrying it back out and bursting it open to litter the street!
"A... bug?"
That was strange. Sgiath probably would've understood if the candies were taken by thieves who just wanted to share the candies, or maybe were using them to cover their escape, but what on Earth compelled them to say a bug did this? Other onlookers that Sgiath was able to overhear mentioned such a bug, too, saying it was at least two feet tall! It seemed to have a blue helmet on and sharp looking limbs! Sgiath couldn't get a idea of how this looked, as the things he could just narrowly hear seemed to be blocked out by the loud sirens. At this point, Sgiath was standing in an alleyway, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as he tried to put together this information. What sort of bug could come this far North and manage the cold no problem? Was it some alien species, like Arcosians and Namekian?
I AM HERE! Confused and unawares of what and why. Only frigid and hot at the same time thanks to that suit.
Quick notes- The blue, italicized, and underlined text is the speaking of this spirit named Frederick, knight of the Fortuneteller's Desert. He attached himself to the weird sword attached to Sgiath like a magnet, having been the previous owner of it and knowing how dangerous the sword could be. He's Sgiath mentor
Also, Sgiath is pronounced, phonetically speaking, 'Ski-ath,' in case you're wondering how it is done.

"I beg...your pardon?" Pheno questioned the several armed officers surrounding her. She had been enjoying her leisure time, with a cup of tea (with two sugars and a single cream for those of you wondering at home). They didn't want to give her an explanation but they seemed to demand that she give back what she stole, despite the fact that she not only paid for her tea but tipped 500 zeni, what an outrage. It seemed like the earthlings in this area had finally been warming up to her somewhat off putting insectoid appearance- but all that was for naught as it seemed she was once again recognized as a monster.
"That just won't do- why, I haven't been this furious since that rude arcosian called me a pet, I suppose self defence is in order." She made quick work of the surrounding officers and used a little ball of energy to blow up the police car that was making all that static noise- it was REALLY messing with her antenna hidden behind the fuzz over her upper torso and head. After calming down she immediately heard more sirens buzzing louder than she ever has. "Goodness, persistent rapscallions..." She decided it was best to make her quick get away and just move out of the area, but as she had been in the middle of...that- her eyes caught a familiar, handsome sight. Just before they scurried into the leaves of a tree, she never thought she'd be so happy to see another bio-android. She would flutter over to Chromo's location and sit beside him in the tree.
"Greetings darling, it is I- Pheno, we've got to stop meeting like this..." She referenced to their last meeting in somewhat of a flirtatious tone as she batted her eyes at Chromo. "As much as I'd loooove to mitigate the situation and watch the stars, I'm in a bit of a pickle for some reason the earthlings have gone completely berserk, they accused me of stealing items I had nothing to do with and pointed their weapons at me- very rude, be a doll help me silence their sirens so that we may live our best life- just when people were starting to be comfortable around me too, shame on them I say..."

Before he could pounce upon his next target, a voice called to Chromo. He initially scrunched his nose and turned in confusion, but chirped in pleasant surprise at the sight of his fellow insectoid. "Oh, hello!" He greeted back before listening to Pheno's story. The humans attacked her for being a bug and thinking she stole stuff...? How mean! It was a good thing he had nothing to do with any of that whatsoever. "Wow, that's rude." Chromo scoffed. "But I'll get my guys on the noise thingy. HEY!" Chromo called out. On cue, several more Chromos, though these lacked much expression or a horn on their heads, popped out of a pile of snow. Two of them seemed to have been caught in a tug-of-war over a piece of taffy. "Smack those sirens like they're the most disgusting pieces of broccoli you've seen! And make it snappy!" The beetles chirped and took to the skies, leaving the two Bio-Androids on their own for a short while... "So. Yeah. Anyways. People can be dumb. But they have good taste in celebrations!"
Chromo turned back to eye the Baotendo shop nearby. "During this time of year, everyone gives cool things to other people to be nice. But then there's people who hog all of the stuff to themselves! They just keep them on stupid shelves when someone could be enjoying the stuffs! So that's where I came in!" Chromo gloated in pride, turning again to eye the distant groups of kids still chowing down on the rain of candy he'd left for them. Besides, people just wanted that weird green paper for the candy back at the shop. Why would someone keep candy away from hungry kids for a piece of paper?! Grown-ups were weird... ...In the meantime, the small pack of Lessers lunged past an alleyway- a certain lurking swordsman might have seen the jets of red fly by before the sound of metal tearing and creaking echoed alongside the wails of sirens. The police alarms were promptly silenced after a moment, and the assembly of bugs skittered past the alley again, now with the sirens they'd torn off the vehicles held firmly, half-eaten in their jaws. A few bullets flew past as the beetles quickly tried to make haste, taking to the skies again. They were intent to stop the noise, but it was in their leader's orders to leave the now thoroughly confused law enforcement unharmed...
OOC NOTE: Chromo's Lessers all have fairly smallish, NPC-level PLs for reference!

The time had finally come, all of her current obligations to the work that needed to be done in Otherworld were met and her probationary time after her transfer was over allowing Tequi to finally get her chance to explore the world of the mortals. She knew a fair deal about them but the overwhelming bulk of her knowledge was on her home quadrant's mortals, who were quite different from the mortals of the Northern Quadrant.
Part of her was tempted to spend a few decades doing general research on them but with what she DID know about the North she found so fascinating that Tequi decided to simply go in as blind as she could, just getting some general information on the ‘big’ planets, enough to decide where to go.
Earth was one of the most interesting, while the fact it was generally a peaceful place was in theory not that attractive to a Shinjin seeking a chance to test her skills what DID make it interesting was that when it did become active it became VERY active, and the fact that Earth had apparently been the source of the whole ‘universe almost collapsing into utter destruction’ thing a few centuries back certainly helped.
And so in one moment Tequi stood outside the Check In station, having given her last notice to Ogre running the shifts that she would be gone for a while, and in the next she was on Earth. She had put little thought into WHERE on Earth to go to, with just ‘not uninhabited’ as her focus, because popping into a random forest was hardly interesting.
She wanted to meet the mortals of the North and interact with them, maybe fight a villain or something.
Tequi blinked and suddenly she found herself in the midst of… a swarm?
There were two ‘large’ insectoid creatures present, and while it was possible things had changed Tequi was relatively certain Earth’s natural inhabitants were primarily mammalian creatures, apparently they even bore a passing resemblance to a Shinjin, simply with less variety in skin tone, and blunted ears.
“Oh, er, Hello. I am unsure if I reached my intended destination. Is this Earth?” Tequi posed the question to the duo in general rather than one in particular hoping to get any answer and ALSO hoping they were intelligent enough to understand her and respond.

Sorry about the delay guys! I was waiting to see if anyone else was going to be joining us. ON WITH THE THREAD! There wasn't much to figure out at this point, just standing there. He was going to stop observing the scene and begin moving when, in the air down the road from him, came a very notable buzzing! Sgiath narrowed his eyes as he peered around the corner before quickly bringing his head back in, avoiding being knocked by what looked like bobcat-sized bugs speeding by with red light glistening from their thoraxes. Sgiath poked his head back out, seeing the bugs were now on the cop cars, tearing out the sirens and their lights they then proceeded to carry off. Some pointed eared person, wearing extravagantly regal clothes, tried to speak to the two pleasantly. "W-What the hell," Sgiath stammered under breath, darting out the alleyway and pulling out his sword. He pointed the falcata towards them, his voice loud as he addressed what he was believing were the criminals, "HEY! Drop what you have in your mouths, NOW!" Sgiath took a good look at them. They had several legs and strong looking arms, things not very insect-like to Sgiath. They even had raised torsos, looking to be about the size of tiny children. In fact, were it not for the fact they just tore into police cars with their teeth and flew with very insect-like wings, Sgiath would've thought the case! He couldn't tell, looking at their eyes, if they were like the window pane-like eyes of flies, or if they were blind. They did seem to look at the girl before, but they seemed to drone onward. They even did that to Sgiath, too! 'How strange,' Frederick uttered, 'I'd not seen such bugs like these before...'"Less talking, more focusing on the matter at hand," Sgiath replied with a glower! He grabbed at one of the half-eaten parts, trying to pull the piece out of the strange bug like a dog that got at something they shouldn't have been eating. He even shouted, demanding the bug like it was a dog, "Drop it..!" Carro HoffersonOnward we go!
Tequi, by the way, as a Shinjin (and if you have ki sense), you'd be able to detect the spirit of Frederick, and also the strange power of the sword, should you choose to look into it. The spirit is notably human, while the sword has a... Unsettling presence. Not sure why it is unsettling, but it definitely has something to do with the power in it.

Pheno turned her head to watch the chromolings fly off as he commanded- earning a nod of approval from the lady-bug, Chromo would be met with Pheno's gaze once again- surely he'd see the impressed expression on her face. "My, darling- that is a marvelous trick, you must teach it to me someday...but now I am interested in what you find yourself doing as of now." She would say before folding her stubby arms over each other- listening to Chromo speak about how this time of year was so special for one reason or another- it seemed to revolve around giving gifts and being nice to others.
"What a pleasant holiday! Well, Chromo- I would love to be much nicer to you- it seems like we can never get the time we need to really establish a really dependable link between us, but my dear- that will change...hm?" Pheno's attention had been taken by a humanoid that was interested in the two insectoids- she didn't look very familiar, but Pheno was a bit jealous of those ears of hers- very pretty. "That is correct, darling- this is the planet home formerly to earthlings, but eventually so much more, although technically being born here they too would be called earthlings, we are all diverse in more ways than one."
Pheno couldn't help but analyze the strange humanoid girl, such a sense of fashion- not one she saw commonly among the earthlings, but it was unique- not ordinary in the slightest, now that she had time to think about it...she came from off earth...now? like...just now? how could that be. "While I am curious as to how you are only just realizing you've been on planet earth for at least the past hour or so- I don't think you are aware of the traditional holiday going on, it is a time for giving and friendship- as well as...other relations, come darling, the handsome bug beside me is about to show us ladies how it's done~"

Chromo stared intently at Pheno. He tried to listen to the other Bio-Android, but her articulate words went in one antennae and out the other. "Mm-hmmm." Chromo pursed his lips, nodding as if understanding in spite of his increasingly blank gaze. It was as if he was looking straight through Pheno and into the void itself. Smart and Chromo were two words that did not go together.
Thankfully, another voice chimed in that Chromo could actually process! "Oh. Yeah, this is Earth, dummy. Duh." How did people wind up on planets without knowing what planet they were on?... Now that he was thinking about it, where did this lady even come from? He wasn't paying much attention to his particular surroundings, but he was pretty sure she wasn't standing there ten seconds ago. "What she said!... I think." He chimed in response to Pheno's explanation, which largely flew over his head again. Still, he shook his head to bring himself back to attention. "Where'd ya come from anyways? Are you like... a time traveller that just teleported here from the future?" Chromo tried to put the puzzle together with a thoughtful hum. That or maybe she was from, like... another dimension where Earth and some other planet were swapped! That would be cool.
Before he could get into his 'demonstration' of proper holiday etiquette by robbing the Baotendo shop, though, Chromo's antennae perked at the sound of one of his Lessers growling. "--HEY!" Chromo shouted, jumping out of the tree as soon as he spotted the mean human trying to wrestle the siren out of his clone's grip. The smaller copy ferociously tugged, but it's strength was little when compared to Sgiath. After a moment, it settled on sinking it's jaws deeper into the siren, snapping the lights in two to separate itself and the swordsman! As Chromo himself approached, his clone raised it's head and shamelessly tried to swallow its half of the glass and metal whole.
"Well someone's a heckin' party pooper. How's anyone supposed to celebrate Chrimmas with those lights screaming so loudly, anyways?!" He lectured the human, sticking out his tongue. The remaining clones exchanged glances, giving each other half-hearted shrugs. "I got more presents to grab, so stay outta our way, dummy." He vaguely threatened with a growl, gesturing with his head to the yet-to-be-robbed gaming store...

Tequi was quite pleased that the two insectile beings she had appeared before were both fully sentient AND willing to speak with her, the more feminine of the duo confirming that this was Earth and providing some interesting context to Earth for Tequi, apparently it had not always been as diverse as it currently was. Very interesting though not entirely strange, once mortals started figuring out interstellar travel it usually either lead to a lot of crossing over of cultures.
And war.
The male was a bit less immediately friendly, she was fairly certain ‘dummy’ was intended as an insult but she was willing to ignore that in favor of continued friendly interactions with mortals, additionally the female while inaccurate in her assessment of how long Tequi had been on Earth, perhaps born of an assumption that she had simply appeared from elsewhere on Earth, informed her that she had apparently appeared in the midst of some sort of mortal, specifically Earthen holiday of giving and friendship.
The male had more questions on where she had come from though, and took a decidedly more outlandish assumption compared to his companion “Oh no, Time Travel is incredibly illegal, and generally not as useful as mortals tend to assume. I’m from-” Tequi paused, there was technically no rules against informing mortals about Otherworld, it was simply frowned upon.
She COULD lie but that ALSO felt wrong, she was not exactly eager to start her little adventure off on a lie. “I’m from Otherworld” Tequi finally said after a moment deciding that it did no harm to give the name and she could simply not answer if the pair asked too many questions.
Tequi raised an eyebrow as the male rushed off to apparently shout at an Earthling, Tequi would follow along behind him curious as to what the issue was, it seemed the Earthling had gotten into an altercation with… another insectoid being, it looked quite a lot like the male she had been talking to meaning perhaps it was related in some manner or that the males of their species possessed relatively little visual distinction, she did not however that the one she was with had a horn while the other did not.
"Is something wrong?"

Sgiath and the bug wrestled a bit over the machinery before Sgiath managed to pull it out of its mouth... Part of it, that is. The machinery was ripped in half, Sgiath stumbling back a bit! He put his part in the ground and tried to get the rest out of the bug's mouth. Unfortunately, it managed to swallow the part.
"Are you kidding m-"
He was stopped by the sound of someone calling out. Sgiath whirled around, his scouter beeping a power level of 1,000 on this individual. It looked exactly like the others, but it ad a lot more going on to it. It was energetic and had much more life in it, sounding and acting like a child! The other thing that was different about it was that there was a helmet with a red light glinting atop from it like the rump on the others. Perhaps this was the boss of them?
Perhaps not. There was another bug with it as well, this one sounding far more educated than this more 'armored' bug. It seemed to have grown an interest in the, 'knife eared,' girl that was attempting communication with them. Sgiath's attention, though, was commanded by the armored bug, who was complaining about the sirens. Sgiath was affirmatively confused at this point, for the bug was talking about these sirens being a distraction from the holiday! He made his confusion audible, asking with a pause between words, "Excuse me?"
It tried to turn off, mentioning presents to grab, but the swordsman wouldn't have it leave so soon. He wanted sense to be given! He sped around like a whirlwind in front of the bug, demanding, "Explain yourself and your brethren! Why did you break into the shop? Was that for Christmas as well?"
Sorry for the shortness and the delay, guys. Starting this week coming up, I'll have more hours available to post more often!

"Time traveler???" Pheno questioned Chromo before falling into a lighthearted chuckle. "Yes, as the pointy eared lady said- I'm sure that is quite impossible" Pheno seemed to translate the shinjins words of Time Travel being a concept simply impossible rather than it simply being tabuu amongst existence. Apparently they were from a place called 'Otherworld' not a place Pheno was familiar with- perhaps some small city on earth or perhaps even another planet- either way it was an interesting piece of information to gauge.
"Otherworld? what an interesting name- I take it in this 'Otherworld' the norm would be clothes like that and such pointy ears then?" As the conversation moved on, so did Chromo, right out of Pheno's line of site, Chromo wandered off again to intervene with that siren problem and the meddler who seemed to interfere. "Hm- well isn't that peculiar- someone scolding Chromo for his job well done, guess some are just that ignorant..." Pheno rolled her eyes as she defended Chromo's actions under her breath. She would soar over next to Chromo again- hovering just a bit next to him looking at the figure that was causing him so much trouble.
"It's just as my dear Chromo said darling, he's spreading- to be frank, holly and joyful vibes with his actions, you should do well to- as they say...get into the spirit of things..." Pheno chuckled tapping Chromo with one of her wings as if to bring attention to her humor. She would turn in midair to once again face the shinjin that had just arrived. "Ah yes- but as my dear Chromo told you, this indeed the planet earth- one of a kind with its economy and its diverse population nowadays it seems, what brings you all the way from..er- otherworld as to make your colorful debut here on such a joyous occasion?"

"Awwwww, that's no fun..." Chromo let out a bummed sigh as the lady explained that time travel was illegal and not useful. But it was so cool! And it could do cool things! He totally should have added a time machine to his wish list. He'd be able to slap his past self so hard! Chromo shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present. He had other questions. "Also what's a mortal? Some kind of appetizer?" He tilted his head to the side, now very distracted from the conversation he just initiated with Sgiath.
"Other... world?" That was a weird name for a planet... Was it a planet? It sounded familiar, though. "I've heard that before. Where have I heard that before??" Chromo quietly muttered to himself, putting a claw to his chin and closing his eyes in intense thought, unintentionally ignoring the human's question to explain himself... Thankfully Pheno was quick to respond in his steed, though Chromo didn't seem to notice her tapping him in the midst of his thinking as he hummed in intent.
Other world. What was an other world? There were planets, but those were named. Oh! Didn't Kohlra say the afterlife was... ...Oh. "WAIT. WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP YOU TWO STAY HERE-"
Chromo erupted in a frantic fit of chirps, moving to try and nudge Tequi off to the side out of earshot of the other two. The wide-eyed beetle turned to the Shinjin, hovering close in her personal space if he'd managed to drag her off. "Like. The otherworld as in the dead people place? THAT one?!? But you're- you're not?? dead???" He whispered in urgent confusion, though there was an odd giddiness to his tone. Maybe she was dead, but got revived some way other than the Dragon Balls... Or maybe... "......I-If you're the Ghost of Christmas Past I already said I was sorry about the things." Chromo stammered in a quiet whimper. He'd already apologized well over a thousand times for his mistakes in West City. Did he need to do it a thousand more?

Tequi decided to allow the insectile pair explain the situation as frankly she had no real clue what was going on, better to let the mortals with the real information provide it to the more irritable mortal, the feminine one lacked any apparent understanding of what Otherworld was which was ideal “To an extent yes, my people have fashion similar to this though mine is a bit more in line with the area I am from, and yes the ears are also fairly standard” Tequi confirmed with a smile and a nod, accurate enough without having to go in depth about the fact that it was technically only accurate to the Shinjin, the Ogres were of course quite a bit different.
Where the feminine one lacked ready knowledge of the Otherworld Tequi was caught off guard as the mascquline one had his complete attention arrested by her at the mention of it practically dragging her away from the others with a surprising level of strength for one so tiny as he asked for confirmation about the Otherworld being the ‘dead people place’
“I had not expected anyone to be familiar with Otherworld, but no need to worry, I am not a Ghost of Christmas Past, or any sort of Ghost at all, I am still very alive, I happen to be a Shinjin, we maintain the Otherworld, alongside the Ogres we keep the Ghosts where they belong” Tequi said giving Chromo a comforting smile, his concern seemed genuine enough that she believe it possible he may have encountered a spirit of some sort, the fact he recognized Otherworld was at least enough to let him know what she was.
