IN SPLENDOR:
One-stop listing for all activity in splendorocity

OCTOBER 2010

• On the first day of arrival, Chey is part of a multitude of strangers mulling around a notice. He is spied by Mikado (15+), "Sakra who writes" (15+), Link (15+), and "Sakra with glass" (15+).
• Not long after, Chey ~~is attacked by~~ meets Ryohei, who volunteers to take him to 103 Aesop, Chey's new temp home. (6+)
• Activation of the seal begins with the sounds of the yellow beast.
• Chey finally enters his new home for the first time with help from Colette. She introduces him to several household items he's never seen before.
• Exploration of Wonderland continues in those early days. He reunites with Bhernnev, a fellow space traveler (15+), and meets Allen and Timcampi (15+); both encounters are unpleasant.
• Eventually, Chey winds up relaying his thoughts through the seal, drawing a great deal of attention to himself for his strangeness. He speaks to Prince Arthur (15+), Rika, Kida (15+ and also involving Christmas ghosts), Ryohei, Mikado, "Sakra with glass" (15+), Link (15+; involves the great Coconut Massacre), and Spada (15+).
• Not long after, Chey mistakes Alistair for a bad guy, and calls Ryohei for help.
• He displays cultural difficulties with Prince Arthur yet again, further cementing his alien...alien-ness (15+).
• A stranger's post starts to add onto fears of imminent danger.
• As if that were an omen to be fulfilled, Chey winds up falling into the rainbow fountain, but is saved by Ahiru (15+)
• Fears persist, however, and he begins to believe he is in a zoo. He is trolled by Kefka, yelled at by Princess Mint (15+), and shares fears with Bhernnev.
• Bhernnev and Chey discover the Alpine District not long after - neither too thrilled by the whole snow situation (6+).
• Prompted by a promise of protection from Spada, Chey goes on a little adventure in the Metropolis District with him (6+).
• Soon, Chey comes to find Kefka's troll-threat of destruction was false, and speaks to Rubi (15+), "Sakra who writes" (15+), William, Spada (15+), and Allen (15+).
• Back at Aesop 103, Chey tries to deal with living with big people. It's not easy.
• He meets Roxas on another impromptu quest for an exit, blown around by the wind (+15).
• Once he makes it back to Wonderland, he begins work on drawing the line. Fakir stops by to investigate (+15).
• Joan tries to explain Halloween at one point, but it's not an easy concept to grasp.
• In fact, once Splendor redecorates itself, Chey has a minor meltdown. Trunks (15+), Chaptor, and Ahiru (15+) all try to console the little guy and keep him from hyperventilating to death.
• The rest of October is spent in hiding from all the hideous decorations.

NOVEMBER 2010

• With the horrors of Halloween over, Chey treks up one of the Alpine mountains, determined to find a way home and get away from all the crazy. He's rescued by Yosuke after getting lost and sick in the snow (6+).
• Once back in Wonderland, Chey gets back to work constructing his line. He is kind-of attacked by Tinkerbell (saved by Bambi) (15+), is run into by Decus (15+), Professor Layton, and Mordecai (15+). He is given advice by Yukari (15+) and chastised a little by Ryohei (15+), who then goes to take Chey to visit Kyoko.
• Mikado makes note of possible future changes, much to Chey's dismay.
• He spends a great deal of November in anxious wait for the next horrible change which fails to show up, keeping to himself and working on his line.

DECEMBER 2010

• At this point, Chey's line is nearing a completion point. Several visitors pass by and observe his work: Fakir (15+), Bhernnev (15+), Kyoko (15+), Dawn (who mistakes him for a Pokémon to be caught), and Clare (15+).
• He attempts to converse with Castiel about being stuck in Splendor with little avail.
• While enjoying a brief, peaceful lunch, Chey gets scared and bullied by Dio because he's a jerkbot >:(
• A screaming Sanada can do nothing but draw a reaction out of him in effort to stop people from yelling all the dang time (15+).
• When a space traveller arrives, Chey can't help but being to prod and poke for a way back home again to little avail (15+).
• Once again set to wandering for a way out, Chey finds the zoo and reacts appropriately</small>. Bambi, Spada, Bhernnev, Decus (15+), and Ryohei all react, with the last coming to take him away from all the cages to go eat and feel better (15+).
• Still on his cage-kick, Chey speaks to Eraqus, the first big person to say his whole name properly all at once (15+).
• Soon, a hideous new housemate awaits in Aesop 103. Chey is not having a good time of it.
• All dramas aside and ebbing to a degree, Chey takes time to eat and get used to the local NPCs. There he meets Natalia (15+), Ruka (15+), and Edel for the first time (15+). Ryohei stops by as well and a discussion of friendship and family is had and it's extremely moving; congrats, Ro-hey, you are Chey's official savior (15+).
• After a day of gaining big-people family, Chey has a night of reflection, becoming homesick all over again.
• THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS FOR ALIENS.

JANUARY 2011

• Kyoko disappears and sends Ryohei into a fit searching for her; the loudness, of course, is hard for Chey to ignore, and he reacts, and then they go have a picnic in the snow to chill the hell out (15+).
• Later, Chey talks to Fakir and discovers that Ahiru also disappeared, but returned! All without him realizing it. Huh. (15+)
• With that in mind, he tries to find out if others like him are in Splendor again. Junpei (15+), Natalia (15+), Nura (15+), Ryohei (15+), Ruka (15+), and Ahiru all respond, but there is no luck to be had in finding them. It's a mega-bummer.
• Then, not too long after, Bhernnev tries to have a reconciling with Chey that goes all wrong (15+). It ends with Bernie poisoned and dinky on the floor and Chey fleeing in panic.
• Worse, Chey's tiny body is not taking to the recent chill too well. His wailing incites responses from Tinkerbell, Makoto (15+), Ryohei (15+), and Souji; Nura wishes a Legionnaire ring for him to stay off the cold (15+), and Kino sticks around with the little guy (15+) until Natalia finds him and takes him to her clinic to be nursed back to health.
• So ends January, sick and unhappy.

FEBRUARY 2011

• As the new month begins, new arrivals come with. Chey meets Mickey Mouse, Milen (15+), and briefly speaks to Rapunzel during those early days (15+).
• As the short month progresses, Chey takes to wandering more freely, less sick and afraid as he was the month prior. He meets Professor Stein and earns himself a tutor (15+), bumps into Tavros' wheelchair and gains himself an awkward wishing-aide (15+), bumps into Junpei's leg and finally meets one more funny voice (15+).
• Bhernnev gets hold of him again and declares WE ARE OVER PROFESSIONALLY BECAUSE YOU SUCK and Chey naturally plays victim (15+).
• Chey meets Shin and scores another shoulder to ride (15+), meets Milen again and shares a little food (15+), and runs into Edel again and is taken to a market for more food (15+).
• He comes across Pongo and discovers another space comrade! And then sees Yuugi's hideous hair and is confused (15+).
• When Chey meets Nura, he gets a crash-course in practical wishing and conjures up a Legionnaire ring to give to Natalia as a thank-you present that he has yet to present (15+).
• Chey also sees Ruka and Natalia again, as well as meeting new people: Jade, Atoli, John (15+), and Kanonno.
• Those encounters all go relatively well for the most part, but Chey's not completely out of the woods; Lambo hunts him down (15+), catching Chey and giving himself a nasty rash for his trouble.
• The month ends with Chey emphatically reminding people he DOES NOT WANT TO STAY IN THIS PLACE OKAY.

MARCH 2011

• Chey discusses memory and record-keeping with Maka in light of more missing persons (15+). He then laments the crappy wishes system to Rapunzel, albeit briefly.
• Rather than whine about that forever aloud, Chey takes to the library, as he's been learning the common language with help from Stein (15+). He has further interaction with Pongo (15+), Nura, and Shin while studying it up (15+).
• STUDIES FOREVER, LEARNS THIS DAMN LANGUAGE.

APRIL 2011

• The bulk of April is spent hidden away in study, be it in the library or holed up outside of Aesop 103 by his line. Eventually, though, Chey takes a shot at talking like a normal person! He exchanges words with all kinds of people to various lengths: Milen (15+), Bambi (who apologizes for Tink's previous mistake, 15+), Ryohei (15+), John (15+), Nura, Makoto, Tavros (15+), Kanonno (15+), Vanille, Natalia, and Jade.
• As new voices sound off on the seals, Chey begins to make journeys out of Wonderland to seek out any possible new Klovodokaravi. During these trips, he meets Luke, has an impromptu drawing session with Rapunzel (15+), and meets and befriends Madoka (15+).
• Pickle Inspector's awkward first hello causes much anguish, more or less heralding the end of Chey's journeys to find his kin.
• So much for that.

MAY 2011

• May starts off hideously, with Ryohei growing a sentient beard that Chey mistakes for a murderous monster.
• Chey is at that point EXTREMELY convinced Ryohei is dead and goes off to grieve. After doing that, he falls into the rainbow fountain (again), but there is no one to pull him out that time. His panic poisons the water, giving grief and illness to many for a few days. Thankfully, Ryohei, unshaven, reveals to Chey that he is still alive and kickin' (15+), and Stein comes onto the scene to pump reason and rationale into the grieving alien.
• At this point, the dual effect of Chey's long-term presence and fervent wishing for pieces of home, the flora around Aesop 103 begins to warp to something more like his home; he now has his underground living space to retire to instead of the big building. As he continues working on modifying his line with his studies, Madoka helps him renovate (15+), and meets new faces: Washington (15+), Jast (15+), Leoben, and Tinkerbell.
• On a quiet evening, Chey's dreams are visited by Nura (ongoing). All the while, he's starting to discover the absences his more well-liked acquaintances are leaving...

﹆CHEYSPEAK

2010-10-22T19:41:31Z

CHEYSPEAK:
key language and speaking quirks/notes
Klovodokoravi (kloh-voh-doh-kah-rah-vee): Refers to (a) the species of humanoid Chey is a part of, (b) the language his people speaks, or (c) a general descriptor of height – being Klovodokaravi height is to be his height. General translation: "We who are small and many and ancient"
Klovodokaravi language is wordy and fast-paced. Since the Prince-sirs came into their history, the reason behind the wordiness has always been that the Klovodokaravi own nothing but their words, so they make a wealth of it whenever they can.

Hulonodokanum (hoo-lohn-doh-kah-noom): Refers to Chey's home planet. Also called Gund (goondh) or Two-Dena-Four (two suns, fourth planet from the main star).

Common (language): The second language Chey knows. It's a semi-universal language understood and spoken by a grand majority of space-savvy species, usually just called Common or Regular.
When Chey thinks in Common on the seal, it is slower and clunkier, as it is unnatural to try and think mono/dialogue in another language but his natural one. His spoken Common is much smoother, but...lol how many people can actually hear him.

Prince-sir(s): A classification for the superior species on the home planet. The Klovodokaravi call them Gwinilivahanann (gwihn-lih-lihv-aha-nahn), or literally: "Long-lasting oppressors and masters." Titles of nobility are tied to the history of slavery among his people and generally unsettle him.

Touch-talk: A lot of language cues and responses come from physical contact, but only if it's with a trusted person. Chey will instinctively latch on or touch a person he likes and is listening to, giving his approval by touching the face (if he can reach).
In contrast, he doesn't generally reciprocate if someone else touches unexpectedly. It's rude and threatening for a non-Klovodokaravi to touch first unless Chey has given his permission in some fashion.

Cheyndulamaribannb (chayn-doo-lah-mahree-bahn): Klovodokaravi names are very literal descriptors of the person. Chey's basically means "Sea eyes and hands that do not let go."

﹆CONNECTIONS

2010-10-22T17:41:59Z

	Jam original character JAM IS THE GOLD-STAR STANDARD FOR BIG-PERSON TRUSTWORTHINESS AND LOYALTY!!! He is not in Splendorocity, however. This makes Chey very distressed and sad. He hopes to find him really soon, because nobody else is as quiet and attentive as Jam (nobody else is a robot though so)! If anyone is as good as Jam they are incredible people.	TRUST: ★★★★★ MISTRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆
TRUST: ★★★★☆ MISTRUST: ★☆☆☆☆	Ro-hey (Ryohei Sasagawa) KHR! Despite all of the shouting and scary moments that have come up with Ro-hey around, Chey has come to genuinely trust him and looks to him for protection first and foremost of anyone. The lack of condescension is an extra bonus, and all the liberties suggested and offered are giving Chey a chance to be a little bit freer and less afraid. But only when Ro-hey himself is around.
	Sakra With Glass (Sakura) Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Writing on glass; one of the first to try and learn. Chey is startled by the straightforward kindness shown to him, but her quality makes it hard for him to suspect it to be a lie. He hopes it's not a lie, at least. He's accepted her as Good.	TRUST: ★★★☆☆ MISTRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆
TRUST: ★☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★★	Link The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass A not-as-big big person who can hear his words without the seal. Chey was drawn to trust him rather fast if only for those two things, but the coconut incident has shattered his perception of him. Link has a sword and shouts when he strikes and that's just awful. Chey's changed his mind and decided that he is Bad (even if he did feed him).

	Little Beast (Bhernnev Hryne) original character The little beast was on the ship that Chey had been traveling along with before ending up in Splendorocity. He belonged to Cam-ron and could be avoided quite easily because of Jam. Now here, neither Cam-ron nor Jam are available to intervene. Chey doesn't like Bhernnev's teeth or claws or constant need to follow and be attended to, but for the sake of familiarity, he will not stray too far out of sight. Chey hasn't decided if he's Good or Bad yet, but the need for familiarity is becoming serious. The whole getting bigger thing is a problem.	TRUST: ★★☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★☆
TRUST: ★★★☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★☆☆	Spada (Spada Belforma) Tales of Innocence So, so loud. Spada is very loud even when he says he isn't. It makes Chey's head hurt. Spada assures that he can fight off bad things and nothing will hurt Chey, though, so maybe the loudness is one way that works. Now that Spada has shown such attentiveness and willingness to help, Chey has decided he is good and someone to look up to with respect. It takes a lot of guts (or insanity) to want to be a hero for people.
	Yoskay Hanmra (Yosuke Hanamura) Persona 4 Yoskay rescued Chey from the snow up in the mountains, proceeded to try and take care of the little guy...only to touch his head, get burned, and scare Chey to death. It was a misunderstanding, of course, but it left a strong impression on Chey. He is afraid of Yoskay.	TRUST: ★☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★☆
TRUST: ★★★★☆ MISTRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆	Co-let (Colette Brunel) Tales of Symphonia Co-let lives at the house Ro-hey took him to. She taught him a lot of the words of the things inside, which has been very helpful and a good start to learning. Chey likes her and wants her to tell him more. He has decided that she is Good.

	Fakir Princess Tutu Fakir is another person to be afraid of, someone Chey does not like the idea of angering anymore. Still, there seems to be effort to at least try and communicate reasonably from this big person, and he'd never actually threatened Chey...And wildly enough, Fakir even went so far as to permit Chey to have his own opinions. It's a very confusing, but perhaps-good thing.	TRUST: ★☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★☆☆
TRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★☆	???? (Morrigan) Dragon Age This big person is terrifying. Worse, she seems to now reside in the same house as Chey! It makes him very unhappy to stay there. There's a displeasing tone in her voice, even when she's not trying to be threatening, and Chey just doesn't like it. She must be Bad.
	??? (Mikado Ryugamine) Durarara! A big person who gave it a shot at trying to understand Chey. It didn't work out well, but it was a shot. He also taught Chey about res-traunts, which is important. Chey decided that he is probably Good.	TRUST: ★★☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★☆☆☆
TRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★★	Laughing Voice (Kefka Palazzo) Final Fantasy VI He said everyone was going to burn and die and the world was going to end. It didn't happen, but it was hella scary. Chey is very afraid of this voice and hopes he never ever ever ever has to see him or hear him again. He is Bad.

	???? (Dawn) Pokemon DANGER DANGER DANGER. This big person tried to hurt him! Straight out attacked him, grabbed him, and tried to take him away! But he seemed to luck out when she touched his head and got sick from it. Thank goodness. She's Bad. Awful. Horrifying!	TRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★★
TRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆ MSUTRUST: ★★★★★	??? (Alistair) Dragon Age: Origins A large and frightening person-thing that showed up outside of the Wonderland home and proceeded to...sit there. Chey has no idea what to make of him, but can only assume the worst given his size. He hopes that Ro-hey will keep him in place.
	Ah-he-roo (Ahiru) Princess Tutu She very suddenly appeared and saved him from drowning! That's good. She has also helped him figure out how to use the seal in person, which means he won't have to pantomime mutely anymore, hooray! That makes Ah-he-roo quite Good.	TRUST: ★★★★☆ MISTRUST: ★★☆☆
TRUST: ★★☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★☆☆	Clare Claymore A quiet big person who is patient and listens. She does not seem to want to hurt him, so Chey believes her to be Good, whoever she is. He wishes more of the people around were more like her - it would be a lot less scary. Well, maybe a little. Clare does wear a lot of frighteningly shiny things.

	???? (Tinkerbell) original character Yet another scary big person out to grab Chey and scare the daylights out of him. Whether a misunderstanding or not, Chey is afraid of this one and will seek to flee if they ever cross paths again. It was just too scary to be chased into the bushes.	TRUST: ☆☆☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★★★
TRUST: ★★★☆☆ MISTRUST: ★☆☆☆☆	Decus (Decus Nadel) Tales of Symphonia Chey may have his doubts, but Decus has done nothing but try to be kind and helpful to the little guy. It has made an impression, and though Chey is slow to trust, he does believe Decus is a good person. Considering that there's been yet an attempt to grab him with this one, it's a clear sign that he can be trusted.
	Natalia (Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear) Tales of the Abyss Natalia is good, he's decided more or less. Some of the things she says confuse him - some even terrify him, but more's the reason he needs to learn to listen less to himself and his expectations and more to actual content. She is kind enough to backtrack and explain her words, thankfully, and more's the reason to trust her.	TRUST: ★★★☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★☆☆☆
TRUST: ★★☆☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★★☆☆	Edel Princess Tutu A lot of good comes from allowing Chey to speak and speak. Edel did that, and not just that, she empathized. All the more reason to assume that this big person must also be Good. He can never be so certain, though, not with how readily big people are to come so close so fast...
	Roo-ka (Ruka) Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Yet another probably-most-likely Good person who listens and listens and seems to try and understand. Even better, this one kept her distance and seemed more polite about proximity than most of the big people Chey already knew. He doesn't know much about her (since he never bothers to ask people those kinds of things), but she kept her distance, left him alone, and didn't try to grab him. All aces in his book.	TRUST: ★★★☆☆ MISTRUST: ★★☆☆☆

Character Information:

Full Name: Cheyndulamaribannb............just call him Chey.
Series: Original Character
Canon point: Hm...
Age: 4 (Earth years; relatively 15)
Species: Klovodokaravi
Appearance/PB: Tiny
He is a little over a foot tall with arms longer than his legs. Three fingers, two thumbs, no toes. There's a patch just at his hairline that keeps his hair shiny with poison.
Appearance upon arrival: Cold and scared of you.

History:

Previous RP memories: N/A
Bringing someone along?: No
Character History:
The Klovodokaravi are a tiny species from a massive planet with three moons. A more industrious native people had long been overdeveloping much of the land, causing several side effects to the environment, many of which affected Chey and his kind negatively. Chey himself is raised in the midst of a massive migration with the hopes of finding a place to live that isn't overrun with pollutants. His sister was his only surviving family among the group he traveled with.

The fear of toxic death kept the Klovodokaravi moving until there was nowhere else to go but off the planet. Foreigners offered to ferry them away to a new home, but some were less than honest about it. Chey's kin are split between those that were safely carried off to other vessels and those that were stolen away to zoos and black market hubs for sale. Chey himself was with the former up until becoming separated in a rather dense and unusual alien megalopolis.

His wanderings amidst the big people led him to trouble, nearly eaten several times, and took ill of the environment rather quickly. A robotic lifeform called Jam finds him in that state and collects him, somehow nursing him to health as they leave the planet behind them. Chey quickly attaches to Jam over the rest of the small crew, and becomes a kind of pet in a way, curiously perusing the ship and learning the languages on board (and also avoiding being eaten several times over by the actual resident pet).

Once again, the environment starts to take a toll on his little body and Jam is advised to find a place to leave him behind. Chey will be drawn to the music box and Splendorocity around this time, just before becoming too frail.

Personality:

Chey is fairly average for his species in disposition and appearance: he is understandably fearful of things bigger than him and is inclined to feel threatened by sudden gestures or loud noises. His ears are just as sensitive to the rest of him, so his attention can be quickly drawn from one sound to the next at the drop of a hat. Things get labeled "good" or "bad" very quickly, and Chey will either latch onto or outright avoid each as prescribed; it takes a lot of work to convince him that a bad thing can be safe, but it doesn't take very much to betray his almost childlike trust.

Despite the language barriers (he can't speak on a low enough frequency to be heard or understood), Chey can pick up spoken and written word very easily, prone to mimicking the facial expressions and mouth movements of a speaker as they talk. He likes to be very hands-on with his learning and exploring, and things he likes or is interested in will be touched, untied, picked, pulled, or other such things until being told not to. He doesn't need constant reprimanding to know when to stop doing something (except staring; he doesn't blink).

In dangerous or hostile situations, Chey's first instinct is to run and hide. Having big friends he can't help makes him sad in that sense, but he's very realistic about his stature and ability. Even so, if he sees some kind of opportunity to help, he'll give it a go (so long as it doesn't risk him getting killed in the process). His selflessness hasn't reached a point where he'd lay down his life for anyone, but then, he hasn't had many relationships that triggered it.

Overall, he is curious, honest, and exceedingly loyal to the things he likes, and distrustful and afraid of the things he doesn't. "Hate" isn't a word in his language, so he doesn't really go out and resent anyone/thing, even if the eating thing's an issue. That's just life.

Extra:

Character Abilities:
Chey's body is accustomed to very strong gravity levels, so he can jump hella high and is exceptionally light. He floats in most atmospheres, but can't fly much without someone giving him a push. His bones are very strong, so all the walls he'll inevitably smash into won't hurt him much.

He has no offensive skills, but his hair is toxic to many people/things--human skin will break out in bad sores if his hair/head is touched, whereas certain animals could die from trying to eat him. So, y'know...don't try to pet or eat him.
Possessions:
Just the clothes on his back.
Anything else:
He has no pockets, but if he gets a shrinkified seal it will probably clip itself onto his clothing. Also he'll have no problem with carrying a key nearly half his height, so no need to shrink/adjust it for his sake.

Samples:

Communcation thread/post sample:
[typical comm postings from Chey will be mental; his language is very wordy and his thought processes are naturally run-on sentency.]

It is very cold now and I do not like it and would like to leave for the other side of the city. The sky is white with the snow so I cannot leave alone could somebody find me? Somebody with a warm piece of clothes...[a hummy sound, thoughts slowing down.]

Coat.

Jacket.

Scar.

The long cloth on her neck. I can see her outside with her arms up and her head up like she is going to...[pause, trying to think of the word.]

I do not remember what it is called to have both arms going around one thing at one time.

Log/Prose sample:
With the breeze as present as it was that day, Chey was his own little sailboat. He found he could grasp the corners of his cap and hold them out at opposite ends to catch the sighs of air as they came, sailing down the street like a dandelion seed. He made for a very unusual and over-sized dandelion seed; he couldn't imagine himself in that moment, so the charm was lost on him. Much was lost on him already.

The wind puffed him into a lazy circle, staring back the way he'd come and finding it unchanged. It made him anxious again; where did that woman go? She had been very kind to him, especially when the dog had tried to make a chew toy out of him. He remembered that she left with the dog in tow and hoped that it was only because of how brave she was. The notion that she owned that big, brown monster was too much for him to consider. Nice people don't keep horrible company.

Then again, the fat man in the space ship had that horrible monster...

The perpetual frown got a bit frownier with his chain of thoughts, half-inclined to ask if it were true about the woman. Having the seal was convenient, even if he hardly understood how it worked. Nobody could mistake him for being stupid with it, at least, and that was good enough for him. The only real problem came with the people that liked to shout--some of them only got louder if he asked them to stop.

There was no shouting going on along that road at the moment, though, so Chey's concerns blew away with the last gust before bumping a mailbox post. With his ride temporarily halted, he twirled around the post and changed his direction, more float-walking than sailing down the alley. Each upward step sent him high enough to peek into windows he passed by, sometimes clutching at the sills to have a closer inspection. The further he went, the hungrier he got, and the last window he spied inside was laced with the nicest smells...

And a small dog, sleeping on a rug at the foot of an oven. Chey gave a faint, high-pitched whine of lament.

He still hadn't figured out his pitch was just the right frequency for dogs.
