[1] Arrival - Shore (cw: mild body horror and npc death)
[To be somewhere so dark and so wet, it almost makes sense, for a moment. Until it's cold, as well. Unfamiliar, but somehow not at all unwelcome. There's a recognition that it's death, and yet a certainty that it can't be. After all, for cursed spirits, there's change in rebirth. The meaning stays the same, but the soul...
The soul should take a new form, so how is it that the shape he settles back into is so nearly the same one he's always known?
To those who may be watching for new Sleepers, it's at first a young child that breaks through the shallow water's surface near to shore-- and far too calmly reaches to grab and kill the creature nearest to him. One less newcomer, but more importantly a test, and a successful one at that. If he's not lacking energy, the problem must be more like that haze humans feel on waking up. So with a little more focus...
Muscle appears to shift beneath skin as one final step to the process returns Mahito to his usual adult form. Yet on looking over the rest of his surroundings, he offers the first Waker to meet his eyes an almost innocent smile that already betrays the change.]
It seems like persistence helps in keeping the soul in tact. I'm glad. It would be boring if everyone had it too easy.
[2] Arrival - Boardwalk
[Once covered and finally stable in more than one way, Mahito's fairly aware of the expectation to stay nearby and help those who reach the shore after him. Which is precisely why he's wandered off to do anything else.
For a moment that means feigning the need for warmth in order to earn a hot chocolate and overhear that nervous gossip. After a while, he'll approach another Sleeper in hopes of further insight.]
Even somewhere like this, humans aren't any different. They're more worried about the impact on themselves, right?

[OOC: Have your own idea? Want to try one of the other prompts? Feel free to write something else, or let me know here or over discord (osoroshia#9810) if you'd like a custom starter!
Note Mahito is stupidly overpowered, so please also check my Permissions/Abilities page, and consider plotting if your character's more likely to fight than talk. I'll keep him relatively harmless, otherwise.]
