Chimper #3157
Mahana ducks under a low-hanging street sign, adjusting the azure visor that does little to offset the ridiculousness of the cake slice permanently affixed to their head. It all started in the Teikodian Empire. They were trying a complex water-scrying ritual to locate the legendary Kaito, using what they thought was a forgotten ceremonial pedestal. It was, in fact, the prize-winning dessert for the Emperor's anniversary feast. The resulting magical backlash was… sticky. The scar on their cheek? From the first time they tried to draw their katana and the pommel caught on a frosted swirl. Yet, they press on. Let the city guards snicker. Let the children point. Their quest is righteous, their blade is sharp, and their resolve is stronger than week-old sponge cake.
