CW: Kadin is a naga, and the following prompts involve animal death and uh...vore I guess. Kadin is mostly snake and he's hungry and he eats things is the point.
Newbie: Petting Zoo
[Kadin is not in a good place, mentally, emotionally or physically when he arrives at the carnival. A month wandering aimlessly through a desert filled to the brim with chaotic magic fallout will do that to a person, (or a half-person anyway). He's used to fasting for long periods of time, but a month, especially a month filled with a lot of physically taxing travel, is pushing it even for him. Not to mention the last time he had more than a mouthful of water at a time was weeks ago. So when the sandstorm gives way to a forest, and he emerges from that forest to find a carnival, he doesn't question it. He just slithers up and over the fencing surround the festivities and makes a beeline for the first source of water he sees.
It happens to be a water trough in a petting zoo. He dunks his head in without a second thought and drinks, coming up a moment later sputtering but relieved this was not just another illusion. It's then that he takes a second look around him, no longer as delirious with thirst, he's actually absorbing some of the sights this time. The place is loud and garish and bright and-
Wait there are goats here. Goats and rabbits and chickens and quite a few things he doesn't recognize. His stomach, (all twenty feet of it) growls. He looks around nervously. There are people nearby but nobody has seemed to have noticed him yet. Maybe if he just....makes this quick...
Nervously keeping an eye on the crowd moving by a few dozen feet away he reaches out to the biggest of the goats, patting it gently, then circling his arms around it in a sort of hug. Then the coils of his tail rush forward as his human half holds the animal in place and wrap around it. The animals are making noise now, bleating and clucking and crying out in alarm, but Kadin ignores them, too hungry to care. His tail squeezes around the goat whose protests are becoming weaker and weaker.]
Veteran: Working/Break Time
[Kadin is not in love with his new job. It's certainly a punishment that fits the crime however so he feels he can't protest. But it's only his third day and he's already something of a nervous wreck thanks to his 'act'. There's nothing he can do about it though, and so reluctantly he follows the cue of the stage manager and enters the big top where a goat is waiting for him in a spotlight.
Again he catches and kills the goat, and then he gets to work on eating it. Watching a snake unhinge its jaw is a spectacle all on its own, but watching a naga effectively unhinge his entire human half to allow him to swallow a goat is on a whole other level of freaky. His chest stretches, his collarbone and ribs drift away from one another, the tight sinew that holds them together loosening incrementally. His abdominal muscles, (human and reptile alike) undulate in strong rippling motions and the goat disappears inch by inch. There's gasps of mixed horror and delight from the audience and honestly Kadin just really wishes he could eat faster.
Once his act is done he slinks backstage again, is handed his usual purging potion, and told his next act goes on in about 4 hours time. Head down, posture reeking of dejection, Kadin nods and then exits the tent, looking for an unused food cart or maybe an out of order game booth to curl up under until the potion does its work.]
