“If I never sssee that ssskinny little ssshrimp again it will be too sssoon!” muttered the disgruntled and hungry Kaa as he began straightening himself out from his most unpleasant fall. This was made all the more unpleasant by the distinct emptiness he felt in his stomach, “Ooh… my ss-sacroiliac.” he muttered, before continuing on into the under brush of the jungle. When he emerged a moment later he was shocked to see a distinct lack of trees. He paused to look around. Where had the jungle gone! Kaa was near panicking as he sighted a large domed structure, with a long line of blond haired humans standing outside of it in a line. Strange, he’d never seen humans this pale before… his stomach gave a rumble. “Hhmm, perhaps thisss can work to my advantage.” whispered Kaa as he quietly crept up to human at the end of the line.

“Exsscussse me.” said Kaa, planning to lock his hypnotic gaze with the humans as soon as the creature turned to see who had addressed him. But the human’s reaction was not what Kaa had expected. “Oh, hello there. How may I help you?” The human hadn’t even flinched at coming eye to eye with the enormous snake! That set Kaa back a little bit. “Well, what do you want?” asked the human, a little impatiently. “Ummm…” Kaa had certainly not expected any verbal aggression from a creature such as this. With a sigh the human continued “Look just wait your’ turn in line, the guy up front will be with you then.” He said this with the air of someone who knew that this was the answer to all of life’s’ questions. It was the certainty in his voice that prompted Kaa to do just that, besides, he could always eat the man later. Some time later Kaa finally arrived at the front of the line. Just as Kaa was about to ask if there was a reason wasted his time by waiting in the line the blonde behind the desk asked “Name?”

“Hmm?” asked Kaa, wasn’t he the one that was supposed to be asking the questions? “You’re’ name!” the man sounded extremely exasperated, as if he had had to go through this routine many times already. Maybe if he answered him he’d get his answers so he said “My name isss Kaa. Where am I? What hasss happened to the jungle? There ssseemsss to have been a sssudden change of ssscenery.” He added the last sentence just so that he could he could say more words with the letter s. “You’re in Paixoa, There’s some brochures over there and I’m sure this will help you as well.” as he said this he handed Kaa a strange boxlike object, or at least he tried. Kaa made no attempt to take the object instead raising his “eyebrows” at the man and giving him an ‘are you mentally challenged look’. The man seemed to misunderstand the reason for Kaas’ exasperation because he quickly said “Oh!” and reached beneath the counter and pulled out another box thing, but this one had a circular cord attached to one corner and had a strange little “branch” growing from the side. The man quickly draped it over Kaas’ head so that it hung about his neck like a collar. Kaa quickly debated with himself whether or not he should hypnotize the man but decided against it. After all eating him in front of everybody would mark him as dangerous (he certainly didn’t want that!) and anyone this stupid couldn’t be of any use to him, at least not yet… So Kaa left the man and entered through the gate, not bothering with the brochures sense he wouldn’t be able to use them without some effort, and the serpent was in no mood to exert such at the moment. Kaas’ stomach rumbled again. “Hmmm, perhapsss it isss time for sssome hunting.” And with that he made his way into the city.

The first thing Kaa did was flick out his tongue to taste the air. It was stale, something like being in a cave only with a variety of other scents mixed in. He could taste the humans everywhere. The majority of them looked so similar it was disturbing; especially with the way most of them were ignoring him. Even the two who didn’t seem as though they were born here were so deeply wrapped in conversation that they hadn’t noticed him. So Kaa simply ignored everyone right back, deciding to fiddle with the strange box he had been given at the gate.

After a few moments he had it open and was working with it fine. From what the box referred to as the message board he discovered that he was in a place called Paixao, and that the box was called a journal. Most of the people on the board seemed to be answering questions to newcomers and seemed fairly exasperated by the repetitive task. So Kaa made a post of his own. The task seemed as though it would take forever! Typing with his coils was proving impossible! He gave a start as his words began to appear on the screen, not realizing he had been speaking to himself. A few sentences later he posted an idea on the subject, hoping that he was not being too bold. He was promptly mistaken for someone else by a local rodent. So much for that… he closed the journal and scented the air. There was a new scent on the air.

Kaa turned to locate the source of the new smell and promptly spotted a female man-cub perching on a nearby rooftop. Most humans that wore that much clothing tended to spend most of their time, if not all of it on the ground. Kaa gave a smile as he noticed the girl watching him. He slithered in her direction and upon reaching the building she was perched upon, proceeded to raise the front of his enormous body until he felt as though he towered over the citizens of this man-village. He positioned himself so that he was about head level with the man-cub. “Greetingsss man-cub, it ssseemsss asss though I’ve peaked your’ interest. My name isss Kaa. And who might you be little one?” His next meal could wait a while. Information usually paid off and besides, eating this young girl around so many other humans would probably be a bad idea. Besides, he wanted to make a good first impression in what was apparently his new home, whether he wanted it to be or not.

(ooc: yes I know Haku is actualy a boy.)
