'When will this meeting and? It has already been three hours' Meetings were never my favorite, but sometimes it has to be done. 'Why do I have to pay attention when that shitty-bastert isn't? Just because he is the boss doesn't mean he can slack on the job' ¨I think that will be all for today you can all leave...¨ 'Finely, I'm starting to think he is just holding these meetings to waste our time' I start to gather my documents when his annoying voice speaks once again. ¨Exept Chuuya, I would like to speak to you¨ 'Just greed.. just... greed, what does he even need anyway' The doors close as the last of the members have left.

Taking in a deep breath, I turn around to face my boss ¨ What do you need sir¨ His expression immediately changes to a frown, his bossy attitude dropping six feet down.

¨Way must you be so mean Chuuuuuyaa~, you know I don't like it when you call me that¨

¨Bos-¨

¨Now you're just being rude, what did I do to deserve such rudeness ~¨ he placed his hands on his heart pretending to be hurt.

¨Mabey wasting my time with useless meetings you don't even pay attention to¨ I cross my arms ready for an explanation that I know will never come.

¨O, so you noticed?¨ That annoying smile of his is right back on his face. He takes a few steps forward taking the documents from my hand and gently rubbing my cheek with the other ¨You should take a break, you look like you just stepped out of a grave¨

¨Good way of saying I look tired ¨ I let his thumb touch my lips before he gave me a gentle-loving kiss, I let my lips melt into his, kissing back. You could almost taste the love that was put into it. Slightly disappointed, he pulled away I slowly opened my eyes again. Only to be met with the biggest smirk I have ever seen, it didn't take long for him to fall backward holding his nose. ¨I think you're right I am getting sloppy, it should have broken, I guess I should take a rest¨

¨As feisty as ever I see¨

¨The only thing you're going to see is all the paperwork I won't do, I'm off to bed see you later, and don't slack off this time I want those papers done by tomorrow ¨ Putting my point across by pointing at the papers he is now holding I turn around finely taking my well-deserved leave. Only to hear, him whistle as the door closes behind me. Sometimes I question who the real boss is.

I let myself plop onto my bed, I was so tired. Last night I was going over some paperwork and didn't realize it when the sun came up. Skipping breakfast to get to work on time. I just hope while I'm asleep that that bashert doesn't set foot in the kitchen. The last time I was asleep he got hungry and didn't want to wake me up so he tried to make something himself. The memory is burned into my head, the kitchen on fire while that idiot was sitting on the table screaming for me to do something. I feel my eyes get heavy letting the sleepiness overtake me and close my eyes.

*Drip... drip*

'Hu? What's that noise' I slowly open my eyes only to be met with something else than my bedroom 'A.. sort of underground cave? HOW DID I GET INTO A CAVE!?' oke, oke, stay calm I need to stay calm, that's what Dazai always says when I panic. A calm mind is a clear one. I take a few big breaths of air to calm myself down. Oke observe I need to know where I am to get back to base, this better not be one of those pranks, but still, he wouldn't leave me in a forest without leaving a sign it was him like a note or something.

I move my hands around looking in my pockets but the only thing I find is a slippery surface. I immediately pull my hands up 'What the F* did I just touch' I want to remove whatever I just touched from my hand when something strange happens. In the place where my hands are supposed to be are just little... I don't know how to describe it just not the usual. My whole body changed, if I were to guess I would say I look like a deformed slug.

I guess his comments are getting to me now I'm dreaming of being a slug... WAIT DREAM!? is this what dreaming is like? this could be like a one in a million opertonety! And now that idiot ruined it! Wait what am I thinking I can't dream so this should be real... HOW COULD THIS BE REAL!? So I'm either going crazy or I'm dreaming which is not possible, wait hold up what if this is an ability? Ye that would make more sense.

Now the question is what kind of ability? Man, my head hurts with all this thinking, I never thought I would say this but where is Dazai with his stupid genius ass. He would laugh at me if he ever got to hear this.

¨OVER THERE GET THAT SLUG!¨ 'Wait, what?' In the distance, some people are coming my way on some kind of animatronic robot animals?  ¨GET THAT SLUG AND DON'T LET IT ESCAPE, " I assume the leader of the bunch because he was in the middle shouted. ¨I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF SLUG BEFORE YOU THINK IT'S A RARE ONE?¨ ¨ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT¨ 'Oke that is getting a bit too close for my liking' I try to get away but I fall over my... feet? Can I even call them that at this point? Wait he called me a slug... so I'm really a slug... so I got to walk like a slug? Only one way to find out. I let my 'feet slide over the ground 'Oke so that works but it's not really fast'

¨Cirp Cirp ¨ I look over to my right the same creatures as I am hoping my way their body is a dark shade of red with some lighter blue at the front two that look like antennas on their heads, with makes me wonder if they are different classes or something with what those guys are shouting? None of them have my features which is strange but who am I to say so? It looks like they want me to follow them, who am I to say no? Hoppend I follow then. 

¨THARE GETTING AWEY!¨ ¨STOP THEM¨ We jump through a bush next to a hole in the ground WARE THAY ARE JUMPING INTO! Ye nope, I'm not going in there, I guess they have noticed as they surround me pushing me to the edge 'These slugs are going be the death of me' was the last thing I thought before slipping and falling. To my surprise, there is a wind that takes us through it, and not letting me fall to my death thank Arahabaki.

Where is this taking us anyway? And why are they so happy!? I have never seen anyone smile so brightly. We short out of the hole and land on a big mushroom at a whole different place. Oke, I need to start making a mental map of this please of I'm never getting my way around. The other slugs gave me a bunch of happy chirps before hopping away. Is it just me or could I understand them, that were wishing me, safe travels? I want to thank them but all I managed to get out are a few happy chirps that in some way got the message across.

'I have been hopping around for hours I'm tired' I got a bit accustomed to the ground system which is now my favorite way to travel I my add and know my way around some parts but sometimes when I think I will be somewhere it will be a completely different place. There are also multiple seasons close to one another which... makes no sense to me. Now my top priority find a safe place. In the time I have wandered around, I found a few things. I can walk on walls! I couldn't be happier walking on walls is the best, l just do it all the time in the office the cleaning staff are still wondering how those footprints got there strange enough they never clean them, I have my bets on Dazai having something to do with it. Most of the other slugs are resting upside down under the mushrooms its the best you get out here.

'And I still haven't found out what kind of ability did this. Wait wait wait, can I even use mine? ' I try to use my ability and to my delight can still use it... ye nope, I can use it but it's not as strong as when I was human... was... no I'm not ditching my humanity because I look different. I wasn't even human to begin with so another form wouldn't matter... why didn't I use my ability earlier jumping from rock to mushroom to tree is much faster than aimlessly hopping around to one another?

'I think it's time to rest using my ability costs way more energy than I remember. Now I only need to find a nice place' I look up at the other slugs it looks so comfy up there. I use my ability to float up to the mushroom placing myself upside down. It looks like they noticed me looking at me with bewildered eyes, I guess they have never seen a floating slug. It doesn't take long to fall asleep with the wind slowly moving the mushroom in a slow motion.
