Day One: Part 1

[Guu]

Guu wandered a while, barely getting her sausage down as she gnawed on each one like a dog on a chew toy. She could feel the pain in her belly go away with each one. As she finished the meat, she stowed the rest of the MRE away in her bag. She could still feel the last bit of grinded up mush sliding down her esophagus.

“This is horrifying…” She said plainly.

”Guuuuu!!!”

Her attention was caught by the sound of that familiar voice. Sure enough, not far from where she stood, a familiar purple demon girl floated, a giant horrific monster behind her. Guu didn’t show it, but seeing her again brought a lot of warmth to her chest. She wasted no time to run towards the young child and pounce her with a big hug. The height difference alone forced Desco’s embrace to hold her with her feet dangling off the ground.

”I’m glad we weren’t apart for very long.” Guu declared, hiding the fact she was overjoyed by what was an amazing coincidence. Desco gently lowered her back to the ground.

”Desco was right to move away from the water! the demon child stated. The pink little girl nodded with a chuckle, as she sported a small little smile.

However, the beautiful moment was quickly interrupted. A voice in the distance brought their attention to the familiar straw-hat donning man approaching with a mile wide smile and a hand outstretched and waving.

“Well, according to the map, we’re here!” Yelled the straw-hat pirate Luffy. Guu glared at him, annoyed.

”This is the exact same place we were before. Did you literally lead us in circles?” She said, aggravated.

Guu sighed heavily.

”We’ll wait until morning to explore. Better to do this when we have light.” She said, her tone toxic to the ear. “And I’LL be in charge of the navigation.”

“Sure thing bubbleguu!” He said cheerfully.

While Guu was aggravated at his shite directional skills, she was still glad she added him to the team. She didn’t have the enhanced senses to know if he was lying, but she could tell from just the way he acts that he’s the type that only speaks from the heart. That wasn’t much of a compliment; he was too dumb to speak from anywhere else. However, he was strong willed, and if he was willing to help her protect Desco from harm, she could use all the help she could get in this island of murder and death.

Luffy shot Guu with another one of his grins.

“Ooh, let’s twist our arms together!” He suggested.

Through out their failed navigation adventures, Luffy had been getting Guu to do feats with their stretching abilities together. She guessed it was because he never met another stretchy person before. They did such acts like seeing who could stretch the furthest, five foot high five, and hand stands. She was originally annoyed by his constant insistence, but she was starting to have a bit of fun. Not to mention, Desco seemed entertained by it, so she was cool with it.

Meeting his challenge, the two twisted their two arms together into a small pillar of differing skin tones.

“Candy Cane.” She said, as she moved her arm to move the small horrific amalgamation of flesh into a hook. She shapeshifted her arm’s skin into a red hue, making her half of the mutant candy cane into a red spiral.

“Wow! It actually does look like a candy cane!” Luffy said, mouth watering. She quickly shifted her arm apart from his, fearful that he might actually be dumb enough to take a bite.

Desco watched the entire event, laughing, even giving a little applause when the candy cane was complete. Guu was glad the little demon child wasn’t afraid, though she wasn’t sure if she would have been afraid in the first place.

”Wow! You two are so good at that!” Desco said gleefully. ”I wish I could do that! I can only stretch Yogsothoth!”

Guu shot her a little awkward smile. Then she refocused on the task on hand.

”Anyways, we should set up camp, get some sleep.”
