[Hello, one and all! It's time to meet your friendly neighborhood giant wolf god!

...Except literally, it seems. Her body language is very relaxed, and she's not sulking around trying not to be seen. She seems rather comfortable with her surroundings - even that of the village! Then again, that shouldn't be so strange to most of you, right? She's a fairly neutral guardian spirit, after all!

But Moro does seem to be at least somewhat curious about things. Scents are... off. She smells slightly of a human? Her den is so far from the village. Small things, tiny things, that have her curious. But you all know you can approach and talk to her, right? ...Right?]


((OOC: Basically, in the "AU", humans haven't been gigantic assholes so Moro is a pretty chill bro. And a good conversational piece. HAVE AT?))

MOROOOOOOOOOO!

[You might be getting a boy with a giant wooden mallet looking at you while hanging upside down from a tree Moro. This is Caveman/Jungle!Luffy! He doesn't have any known relatives (besides a foster brother) and has spent most of his life in the jungle and/or caves being raised by animals sup.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Oh, it's the neighbor.]

Luffy.

[So, let's play make-up-AU-canon-on-the-spot, y/y? 8Da

Busy shunning most people as a child, Ginko would have spent most of his time in your woods. Being large, not human, silver-white and clearly a Part of Nature, he would have taken to you very quickly. As his job is to teach students about your flora and fauna, not to mention how to treat them, you continue to see quite a bit of him, too...]

Moro-- [and a smile]

[biteoffherhead]

[Yes, yes. Teaching people how to respect nature like the teachers before you? Of course Moro knows you. Has probably sat down to talk to your "students" on occasion, even.]

It is good to see one thing unchanged. ...Do things seem amiss, to you?

[consultmybooks]

[Hey, it's his favorite friendly neighborhood giant wolf god. Good to see ya, Moro.

Giles notes Moro's discomfort as he spots her sniffing around at the edge of the plaza, and decides to carefully approach. Carefully - wouldn't want to shake her off whatever trail she's found.]

Something wrong?

[biteoffherhead]

...Something seems... amiss. It's rather curious.

[rabidrapido.livejournal.com]

[biteoffherhead]

[Yaaay on-the-spot AU. I'm assuming not blood-related pup though hurp?

Ah yes Repede. Moro's jaw drops and she pants, happily.]

Hello, little one.

[Action] | Probably some time after the whole debacle with Vivi

[semper_cogitans]

[When you're an eccentric researcher, heir to part of the magitechnology corporations of Luceti while seemingly squandering your wealth on science projects and working as a teacher for the decidedly-sentimental-but-not-very-businesslike-at-all reason of wanting to educate people, you tend to have a lot of unpleasant rumours following you around, which naturally makes you reluctant to associate with other people, especially other humans.

Which is why Robert spends so much of his free time - that is, whatever time he isn't spending at his other two jobs - in the woods. So he's seen Moro many times before as he whiles time away here, researching the flora and fauna, always being respectful with the wilderness in the way any good scientist should be. Or at least, the scientists his family had always taught him about.

Still, he doesn't want to be a bother to one of the few people - not human, but people, as Moro is still very much a person - who doesn't have any preconceived notions about him, who doesn't subscribe to all the rumours - true or not - and who doesn't resent his presence or find him a frightening eccentric.]

... Ah, Moro... I don't suppose you were affected by the strange Shift recently, were you? I seem to be one of the few that wasn't...

But the forest is alright, I hope.

[Action]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro shifts her weight, as if considering.]

The forest seems to be well. But my den has moved, and the scents are... wrong.

[goldenglasses]

[Waving excitedly from where he was getting ready to put the flower stand for the fair.]

Hey there, Moro! How's the forest this morning?

[biteoffherhead]

The scents are... scrambled? Amiss.

Hmm.

[cruxofapotter.livejournal.com]

[Harry spends a great deal of time exploring the forests and camping, so they've probably run into each other before. Maybe they get along? Either way, her curiosity is something that interests him.]

Everything all right?

[biteoffherhead]

...I suppose.

[Simply odd. She seems to dismiss it.]

Have you noticed anything amiss?

[ombra_lira]

[Hi Moro. You're probably used to this guy sulking in your forests, and that's where he is now. He has his lyre in his hands, but he's not playing. He's just sulking under a tree and staring off at some unknown thing in the distance. He almost doesn't notice her until she's practically upon him, and immediately he snaps to.]

Lady Wolf. [Headbow. Gods demand the utmost respect, even if they choose to walk among mortals.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She doesn't demand respect, but it is always nice.]

...You seem to be distant, on this day.

[wise_maiden]

[As Ginko's niece, it might be fair to say they've had some interactions in this universe, notably more when Raine was younger and less busy, of course, with work and family responsibility. Though she still would have made time for nature. After all, who else would have been one of Ginko's first students, before he officially became a teacher?

Not to mention her seemingly natural connection to the Filial spirits. But it will be later in the day when she walks near the forest a touch distracted. Some time to think and reflect on the earlier parts of the day, once everyone is safe and where they should be.

A soft smile, though, when she notices the guardian's presence.] ... Hello, Moro. Are you well?

[biteoffherhead]

[Later in the day, Moro's calmed down quite a bit more. She's not wandering aimlessly, and is strolling rather pleasantly instead.]

I am well. It is good to see you.

[sapphire-sniper.livejournal.com]

[Here's a face that should be familiar to you, Moro. After all, Michael is one of the best hunters in the village. And of course, he's always got a kind word and the occasional choice share of the hunt's catch for his favorite forest guardian~]

Moro!

[He smiles and waves... then catches the look on her face.]

That shift got you on edge today too, beautiful?

[Action]

[biteoffherhead]

[Ah, yes, the hunter. Sometimes we leave our scraps for you to scavenge from.]

On edge? ...No. Simply curious.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

'Morning, Moro!

[is a priest]

[biteoffherhead]

Good morning.

[knighted-lion.livejournal.com]

[Squall's seen Moro out at about (mostly when he's out on patrol), but that's no reason not to be polite, so he offers a nod as soon as he's near enough for the gesture to be seen. Even AU'd he's not very talkative.]

[biteoffherhead]

[She offers a smaller nod in return. It's okay bro not all communication is verbal.]

[doubleppk]

Good morning Moro!

[Polite and super respectful bow.]

[biteoffherhead]

Greetings. You seem chipper as always.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

[You may be seeing a turtle running through the village at some point this morning, wearing ill-fitting clothes and muttering to himself.]

Aww, crap, I'm late for work, Ami's gonna kill me!

[But you stop him dead in his tracks. Because... No, wait, it's just Moro. Nothing strange about that. Right?]

How's it hanging, Moro-san?

[He's never been very conventionally respectful.]

[biteoffherhead]

How is what hanging?

[She will never understand this RIDICULOUS SLANG]

[knightofratatosk]

[Oh hey, it's Big Wolf Buddy! Emil spends a lot of his time out in the forest communing with nature, so running into Moro isn't odd for him at all.]

Oh, hi Moro!

[biteoffherhead]

Good afternoon, Emil.

[Yep, another good little child.]

[vivi-aislinn.livejournal.com]

[Okay, so. Vivi's still intensely curious, and given that most of her relatives work on scientific stuff, she'd like a change of pace. So, she's nice and she likes to explore, especially in the forest... it's plausible that she and Moro would get along well. :Da]

[So, when she spots her favorite (and only) giant white wolf god, Vivi comes running.] Moro! Hi, miss Moro!

[biteoffherhead]

Hello, child.
