December 9, 2006: The Chibs / Chibi Eiri and Chibi Shu

Names: Chibi Shu and Chibi Eiri
(their Live Journal tag)

Name Meaning(s): Japanese

Nickname: They are collectively known as "The Chibs".

Arrival Date: December 9, 2006

Birthday: Unknown - all I know is Bodkin created them at the same time.

Sexual Preference: Come on - these guys are a mated pair.

Favourite food: CE: strawberry shortcake, anything chocolate and beer; CS: flavoured teas, strawberry cake, orange smoothies

Background: Chibi Shu and Chibi Eiri were called by the High Lord of the Malachite Labyrinth (Bodkin) to keep an eye on Nasake and to insure the warrior finally will make peace with the kitsune's cat-like brother, Chikara. It hasn't happened yet...

These little fey are two of the High Lord's minions. They are periodically called upon to assist the High Lord with various tasks. This time, the Chibs were given the facial features of people the High Lord knew would be immediately accepted into the humans' household. They already had the general characteristics of the people whose faces they wear so that is why they were chosen for this mission. However, Chibi Eiri is much more of a snuggle bunny than the human Eiri.

The two have been together for centuries and work as a team. They enjoy being as close together as possible. They were originally conjured nestled together, and that devoted tie has remained with them. They do not like being apart for very long. If they get separated, Chibi Shu will start whining in high-pitched and eardrum-shattering tones, and Chibi Eiri will start yelling booming expletives at the top of his lungs.

Sexual Preference: Bisexual. He dated girls until a fateful night in the park caused him to meet Yuki Eiri.

Hobbies: Being with Eiri as much as possible; playing video games with his Playstation; trying to learn how to cook (and burning down the kitchen, again); watching videos of his idol, Sakuma Ryuichi, performing with Nittle Grasper; listening to, writing and playing music; trying to get Eiri to snuggle with him.

Personality: Exuberant eternal optimist who wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve and reacts with his entire being.

If something bad happens, he usually quickly forgives it and starts smiling again. He feels deeply and completely.

Likes: Eiri; music; Eiri's cooking; playing with Chikara; Eiri's kisses; Nittle Grasper; when Eiri is gentle in bed; and did I mention Eiri?

Dislikes: the way Eiri's brother-in-law, Seguchi Tohma, seems to have some kind of 'hold' on Eiri. This becomes even more of an issue because Seguchi Tohma is Shuichi's boss; Eiri's inability to say how much he loves Shuichi; Eiri's dead teacher, who was the one who set up 16 year-old Eiri's rape and who Eiri killed; celery*.
