Content: Kaa enters Paixoa and meets a strange man-cub
Setting: Muspelheim
Time: midday
Warnings: None, yet
“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
“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.

All thoughts were driven from his mind as the man-cub began to laugh. Had he said something funny? Oh, she must have been under the impression that he was calling her boyish or something. She must get that so much that she now finds it funny when ever someone misjudged her as a stereotypical girl.
Kaa listened intently as the young girl explained what a summon was. A contract? As in some sort of deal? The confusion was plain on his face although he tried to hide it. He chuckled at her explanation of why she was on the rooftop. His chuckle died though as soon as she said she could take care of herself. CRAP! He had gone from one from one overly self assured man-cub to another, the memory of being pushed from his perch in the tree came rushing to the fore front of his mind.
“Yesss, it’sss much better to be above the ground than on it…” Kaa’s mind drifted off for a moment, still reliving the embarrassing memory. He caught himself fairly quickly.
“I’m sssorry, you sssee, I just had an encounter with a man-cub about your’ age who said something very sssimilar to me. He then procsseeded to interrupt my lunch and push me
out of my tree, and all I did wasss offer him my friendssship.” Kaa sniffed dramatically as he finished, trying to arouse sympathy from the girl and not suspicion. After all, what he had said was technically true. She didn’t need to know that the man-cub in question was his lunch.
Kaa continued, “Then when I emerged from the underbrush I was outside this man-village.”
