WHO: Rimuru Tempest (AU information)
WHERE: Krakoa
WHEN: No specific date; any time during the event works for me
WHAT: Open log for Rimuru through the event
WARNINGS: TBA
1. Meet one of the Five
[ It might be surprising to some, it might not be as surprising to others: but one of the council members in Krakoa is a slime; a proper slime, like the ones you will find in video games such as Dragon's Quest. He is usually no bigger than a cat, but at times it's almost as if he looks bigger than that; he has no eyes or mouth, but you can hear him speak and you can swear he IS looking at you. His voice is very child-like, but he will talk to you as if he is a lot older than that.
Rimuru is generally happy and cute. He is cheerful and will try to help with anything you need. Very often he is being carried around by children, or even by adults and does not seem to mind such a thing at all (it's a lot easier to be carried around than to trying to keep up through bouncing and rolling!); in fact, he definitively welcomes it.
Despite being a Council member, Rimuru is always nice and kind to everyone and all new arrivals. He prefers to greet them last after the oath (he truly does like Allison, but her "rumor" feels a bit too much like brainwashing for him to agree with it so easily) but is ready for a handshake (slime...shake?) or a hug for whoever wishes to pick him up and do so.
He will warn, however ] Just make sure you don't get into trouble, otherwise I will have to eat you! [ he laughs at that, clearly joking. Right? ] But if you need any help getting around let me know! I don't sleep so you can come talk to me any time.
2. A good cushion, ball, plush, toy - or just a big brother (or maybe a mother?)
[ Rimuru loves children. And maybe that's why Krakoa means so much to him; he never had any children of his own and never thought about having any, but he learned he could be a good teacher and he could be supportive, and his cute form allows him to become sort of like a "pet" to the younger ones. Rimuru is very often found around children - the younger ones sleep on top of him and use him as a pillow, or they simply carry him around like a soft toy they like to hug and squish a lot. It's not unusual to find kids surrounding him or - when he makes his body bigger - sleep on top of him while under a tree.
He is also found playing games with them. Despite being a slime, Rimuru can reshape himself to mimic a human - he can choose any gender and any age, but his preferred shape is of an androgynous teen, therefor newcomers can easily confuse him for just another imPort kid adopted by Krakoa (though he won't mind that). When in this form, he is usually found teaching children how to use their powers or fight moves if they want to learn. And when lessons are done, he will join a game of tag, while running after the kids while screaming ] I will eat you!! [ the kids, instead of showing any fear, laugh with delight, running away and fully expecting to Rimuru to catch them.] Hey hey, no using you super-speed, that's cheating!!
[ during quieter times, specially at night, Rimuru will read to them or tell them stories from the games he used to play back in his world, while making it sound they are totally real and did happen. He will sing lullabies too, and for those younger imPorts who miss their mother, he even reshapes his body to look like an older woman so they sleep better while he sings to them. ]
3. Allies
[ It's a fact: Rimuru doesn't like to leave his island. In fact, when asked to do it, he often prefers to give an excuse to remain behind, and only if truly needed he will do so. There is a big exception to this: friends! And also allies. He will meet those who are not part of his faction if they are people Rimuru trusts and likes, and ill do so readily for he wants to keep connections to the outside world, but also with people who think like him. His objective is to heal this world after all, and he thinks everyone should come together for that!
If he receives an invitation to meet someone, he will readily leave the island for the day - and bring along drawings the kids from the island made so he can show how cute they are. You could say he is like a proud momma!! ]
4. Abilities and training
[ Being a slime is more of a biology thing than an actual power, no matter what the Porter thinks. But Rimuru has a lot more to him than just being a slime; being able to transform into human is a trick one of his other powers provides, but he can turn into a lot more things - from dog to bats, to even bees, Rimuru's "Mimicry" skill allows him to copy shapes of beings he put into his pocket-dimension, and use their biology to his advantage.
In other words, growing wings? Not a big deal to him! And he often uses this to train and become better too. His main weapon is a long-sword but while he trains, Rimuru employs all of his abilities - swinging his sword while he flies, or using a cats agility for a quicker attack. Sadly, he usually trains on his own, which means he never improves that much - trees as opponents will always be very predictable in the end.
Eventually he sits down, sword besides him, while he sighs. His last Power - Raphael - will manifest then: a hologram-like image of Rimuru shows up besides him, wearing nothing but a white robe, while staring at the original Rimuru ] Master, it'd be more efficient if you trained with someone else. [ Rimuru groans ] I know that, Raphael. Did I get any better, at least?
Only 0,000000000001% better than the last time. Playing tag with the children is more efficient.
[ yes, rimuru's last power can actually manifest itself and speak on its own. It's also a bit sassy. Rimuru only groans louder. ]

no subject
[ his cute voice falters a little and he eventually sighs, sounding more serious ] I'm worried. He has been gone for too long... I don't know what to even think at this stage.
no subject
Thank you, Rim. I don't know how to manage without Josh. But he's missing for so long, and... I fear he shall not return. I can't find him. Which means Stark most likely. Or somewhere beyond easy gates.
no subject
I was very unfair. [ rimur does regret feeling like that ] I can't accept that he is just gone, and I can't accept that we just can't find him.
He has to be somewhere.
no subject
[As one of the greatest technopaths on the planet, it terrifies him that his former lover could just disappear.]
no subject
But that also means we need to think about what we are going to do, right?
no subject
I can't even begin to figure out how to handle this. If we act on what we are certain of, we could still suffer.
no subject
[ Rimuru doesn't want to be mean nor he wants to make it sound like David doesn't care. He actually comes closer to David in his hands ] I know how important Josh is to you. But don't let grief and anger be the only thing that matters.
no subject
This island is everything we've worked for over these had years. These people, their peace. Their freedom. I know that. I stand for that.
[And yet, he'd confessed to Allison that he worried he'd surrender it all for Josh. He's horrible.]
But I think if it is proven that he is in White Tower hands, if they make demands of us, I should be removed from negotiations. Allison will not agree to do that for me. Will you?
[Be the sensible one for him.]
no subject
Why is Allison against it...?
no subject
The problem is I don't trust myself where he is involved. So I need someone to keep me from harming our interests if it comes to it. And I trust you to do that.
no subject
Everyone should have a Raphael, honestly. ]
I can do that. But I need you to trust me and come to me. [ rimuru stretches part of his body which he uses to poke David's cheek a bit playfully ] Don't carry everything on your shoulders on your own. We are a council for a reason.
no subject
[They are a council for a reason, but David was a man ruled by his heart when it came to Josh.
Fuck if he didn't love Josh, didn't hurt himself over the man he had loved and driven away.]
no subject
[ he'd jump in at first opportunity to safe Josh if they ever find him, but he can't be blinded by his feelings. he can't afford to - too many depend on him as it is ]
no subject
[And this was even worse. Because sometimes the unreasonable hurt them, and he didn’t know how to make any of it better.]
If I could, I’d just keep him here, safe and away from threats. But that will probably make things worse. And he’d hate me more than he already does.
no subject
But the more you try to tie someone who doesn't want to be tied down, the worst it gets. I wish I could keep everyone safe, but it's not my place to push my ideals of safety on everyone.
All I can do is my best, while still working within the limits other people give me. What they want should be taken in account to. [ what Josh wants should be taken in account, it's what he means ]
no subject
[Even the ones they all had to question. Like whether the underground was smart. Like whether they should have Allison Rumor people. They were pushing their decisions on others and had to accept it.]
Have you ever wondered if we should revisit decisions?
no subject
People can still make their choices in a way. Nobody is being rumored to "obey us all the time", after all.
The question leaves him wondering ] I do, I think about that a lot. It'd be silly not to. But at the same time, I don't think we can afford to continuously second-guess ourselves.
What decision would you want to revisit?
no subject
You know the one.
[The one the council never speaks where those out of the council can here it, save for those who serve the underground.]
no subject
Well. ]
I... think things could be a bit different. But I don't fully disagree with it, either. But- we should have known they'd find out about it. [ of course the White Tower would hear about their little thing underground. The council shouldn't have been surprised by that in first place. ]
no subject
[Kidnapping was hard to deal with. Stealing would be a word choice for David to pounce on. After all, he was the black guy in the room. Even in Faction Leadership there were a lot of white people.]
