  It's Hard Enough to Live [Zanna]
Posted by: Gabriel♞ - May 03, 2019, 12:36:27 PM - Replies (4)


  They're on the way back from that... encounter, in the first ring. Gabriel can't think of anything better to do than follow Zanna, when the real threat's already within the border. Anxiety has settled strongly over them, like the stench in the air. Snorting once to clear his nostrils and head, he trots to catch up alongside her purposeful gait.

  "War Captain," he starts, title tasting like acid on his tongue. Everything does. "Zanna, miss..." That feels better: respectful, but familiar. They've just been through something, and Gabe already harbors a bit of kinship with those three from it. Confidence comes to him a little easier now. "What would you have me do?"

  The deference conveys his compliance, along with concern and curiosity in his gaze. He will do whatever he can to save Saboro, if only he had a direction. Maybe Zanna sees some of herself in that.

     It's getting dark.
     Life isn't easy, being Vorpal-- the way he is, anyway. Hating others, but hating the loneliness even more. Sensitive to the sun, while scared of the dark. Quite a conundrum  he isn't old enough to figure out. Maybe, he never will be.
     Twigs crack beneath his pawpads, hurried steps, unsure where he's headed. He's never been this far before, and he can't see his father's tower through the trees. All the overhanging branches look like vicious fingers, sharp and stinging. Something barbed is lodged in the hollow of his hind-leg, between bones with some much middle space. He still has quite a bit of growing to do.
     Something shrieks, eager for oncoming night, and Vorpal trips in haste to whirl on himself. Hearing no reply, the boy turns-- slowly, suspecting he shouldn't-- to what may be something... living, not far from himself. A little more breath morphs his panting into sound. "H-... h-hello?"
     Help.

  Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes [Avalon]
Posted by: Lorcan - May 01, 2019, 03:21:26 PM - No Replies

   "Oh no, you're not getting away that easy," the Lark announces, weaving through tunnels it's literally his job to navigate. There's a flicker of black and a red-tipped feather rounding a corner, and he knows he's got her. "Nice job back there-- Avalon, right? Lorcan. Don't think we've met-- didn't see you at the last Lark meeting." He's gaining, and grinning. She can hear it in his voice. "Come to think, none of the Lark meetings... Hey, who ranked you, anwyay?"

   He's fucking with her, goading the Sanguine to stop short and turn, see him smiling. There's never been a Lark meeting, aside from the odd hazing-- and if anybody gets in without getting through him, he's gonna be pissed.

  [FINISHED] I ain't at home, home's where I'm going. I close my eyes to see
Posted by: Iorek - April 29, 2019, 04:33:25 AM - Replies (6)

It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders
Ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don't ever change

       A black and white silhouette flew over the grassy fields, iridescent wing and tail feathers glinting in the afternoon sun. The bird was large and obviously well-cared for and didn't seem like a simple avian passing over the lands. As soon as he spotted the wall, the bird made an arc in the sky. He began his descent when a large dark and cream figure came into view.

       The beast was an enormous specimen and obviously not one of the usual feline species. A cream-colored mane like that of a lion stopped before broad, muscular shoulders. His body was chocolate brown and sliced through with darker stripes that were reminiscent of a tiger. He was robustly built with thick limbs and his pelt looked well-cared for. A thickly-furred tail flicked behind him as he stood, red eyes fixed towards the sky. A pair of ivories peeked out from under his lip.

       Upon closer inspection, one would notice that not only did he look well-cared for, he also looked well-off. His body was adorned with luxury items that few of the animal world usually possessed. Tarnished gold and silver beads and other trinkets were scattered through his mane, around a dozen woven in. A pendant hung from a thick cord glinted in the sun, the insignia of a dragon on red, a relic from his past that was obviously human-made. A bracelet made from woven cord, ruby, and pearls wrapped around his left paw that also was human-made. He wasn't your average feline that had been born and raised in the wild. A worn leather rucksack sat at his feet, another of human construction and didn't look empty.

        Another bird was perched on his shoulder, a crow with amethyst eyes. She began to hop around excitedly as the magpie came into sight and let out an excited caw. The magpie landed near the feline and looked up at him.

       Iorek knew a border when he smelled it and this one was strong. There were many scents that marked the border, most of which being canine. That didn't bother him very much since he had more experience with them than he had of his own kind. He had been traveling when he came across this, for all intents and purposes, wall that he was going to try to go around.

       Hermes had a different idea and flew off with a squawk of 'Wait here!' and the hybrid was left with Brynn and his belongings. He had yet to see a human in these lands but he didn't want to risk the magpie having to look for him and being shot down by a weapon. So he waited.

       'There is wall past field grass. Much forest behind,' Hermes squawked in the bird tongue that the brindled beast could understand after being his companion for so long. The male's stomach felt like he had swallowed a rock when he heard the word "wall". Walls in his experience meant humans and he knew that the magpie knew what a wall looked like and not another rock formation.

       The red-eyed feline felt like he was being pulled in two directions. He had had both good and bad memories of humans and part of him wanted to put as much distance as he could between what could be another settlement but part of him wanted to stay and start again. He sat down, reaching for the medallion that hung around his neck. He had been raised as a pet in a human village and after being cast out, became something of a pet to a pair of elderly humans. Those were good memories and experiences to make him want to stay.

       But it had been a human that had cast the oversized feline out of his life with humans and another that almost killed him when he tried to return. Humans attacked the small family he managed to join, the caravan that for the short months had been his third home. They killed them out of fear and the beast knew what humans and humans with weapons could do.

       The scent of the border was obviously canine and he couldn't smell human in the markers. Whatever pack could have simply moved into the territory with the wall being the mark left upon the land by the former residents.

       The crimson-eyed cat wanted a place to rest his head after months of traveling on his own. He didn't want to be on his own anymore and he didn't know what other creatures roamed these new lands. There was safety in numbers, comfort.

       The scarlet-eyed hybrid knew of canine customs but he lacked the ability to howl. He let out not quite a roar, it was long and almost like a feline-version of a howl with the length. When someone came, the beast would stand up but keep his ears and half mast and his tail low.

OOC:
This is long as fuck and half ramble, sorry. TL;DR Iorek's at the border with his two birds, wearing his pendant and bracelet, with his rucksack, and just made a feline impression of a howl.

Many moons ago, the Clans were suddenly wiped out, leaving the forest unclaimed and untamed. Generations later, StarClan proved that they hadn't abandoned their descendants by tasking four young cats with restoring balance to the forest. Now it's up to Sproutstar, Shadestar, Blazestar, and Shiverstar to bolster warriors out of loners and Clanmates out of kittypets. Despite sharing the names of the Clans of old, it's a brave new world for these four cats and their budding Clans. Will they survive, thrive, or die trying?

  she told me not to step on the cracks
Posted by: Halla - April 26, 2019, 11:52:38 PM - Replies (6)

Content Warning: Halla's dream has some minor gore and it's pretty morbid. Just thought I'd put that out there in case anyone is squeamish.

Last night, she had dreamt of her mother again. 

Trapped under black ice, her somber face and still hands clear and visible, but the surface dense as stone. Halla knelt over her, desperately scratching and pounding to set her free. But the woman underneath, the person who carried her and brought her into this world, made no attempt to escape. She simply pressed herself as close to the ice as she could, occasional bursts of bubbles circling around her as she slowly drowned. She couldn't see any emotion in her expression, not a hint of fear. Halla only felt a sharp pain in her heart as it staggered, watching her mother die helplessly right before her eyes. The one-eyed girl hated her mother. She despised her so much that whenever she thought of her she could only think of hurting her feelings as much as she had hurt her own; to cut ties with the very knife that stabbed her in the back over and over. But seeing her like this was not what she desired. She could feel her breathing become rapidly uneven as she began to wheeze and cry out. The murky black water started to engulf her mother's face, her eyes closing willingly and her fingers dragging away from the frozen wall between them, her long graying hair wisping about as she sank into the depths below. Her daughter screamed, fists clenching and tears streaming down her cheeks while pummeling the frozen lake. She struck it with all her might, weeping as she realized that nothing she had done had even made a dent. Don't go! Don't go!!! Her fingers clawed furiously as soon as her mother was no longer in sight, until--

tchk.

There was a sharp ringing in her ears, forcing her to stumble backwards onto her rump and lift her hands to examine them. The nails of some of her fingers had been chipped backwards, barely hanging on by threads of flesh. The ringing in her ears grew louder, louder, until she couldn't even hear herself screeching in pain.

---

The subtle light of day seeped into Halla's nightmare. Her eye fluttered open as she woke and sat up from the willow tree she leaned against. She didnt mean to doze off, but she could never find the urge to sleep at night. Thankfully, no dreams haunted her during the day. However, it was the dream from the night before that lingered in her mind and she couldn't shake the thought of her mother being in such terrible pain and... doing nothing to help herself. And she wondered, why now was she having these feelings of remorse and... why did this make Halla miss her?

The girl frowned and glanced down at her hands, stretching and wiggling her digits and gazing at her palms. No use in dwelling on it, she supposed. She was here now, in Gemini, and this was where she would stay. Drawing in a short breath through her nose, she reached across to grab a green apple from the pile of snacks she had gathered and bit into it, chewing thoughtfully. She found strange comfort in the gentle waves of the tree's branches, allowing only little blinks of sunlight to filter into her new haven. The shadows beneath the willow were beautiful and soothing, so it was no wonder that she had drifted into a brief slumber. But she had found interesting things beneath it, and she wasn't done sketching them.

Her legs gathered beneath her in a crisscross and she placed the half eaten apple in the small space between her legs as she snatched up her pile of thick parchment paper and charcoal. Looking up, she could see that the canine skull she had set in the patch of flowers before her was undisturbed. She let out a sigh of relief, grateful that she hadn't kicked it and fractured it in any way while she was napping. She wasn't the biggest believer in spirits, but she certainly didn't want to disrespect whatever animals passed here. The remains seemed to be placed here deliberately, and whoever did so must have been very fond of them when they were alive. Halla bit her lip in concentration as she sketched, eyes flicking upward intermittently to check her lines and angles. Her art was not perfect, but she wanted to admire the nature of Gemini as much as she could. Minutes passed, and it was already beginning to help distract her from her worries.

The bear grumbled. Not that this was anything new. She grumbled over most situations, including ones that made her happy, but this was a lot of climbing. Paw for giant paw, the sow clambered the high steps of the woodland's tower, side stepping the blue roses and their snagging thorns. She huffs and snorts, sides heaving as she ascends to the zenith. Her fur was brown once, but now she's coated in yellow pollen that catch the sunlight through the windows, gleaming and shining like pieces of star.

The great bell resting at the peak is silent. The tower itself is not. A furious buzzing echos through the stone walls, so loud and alive that it vibrates in the sow's marrow. Her skeleton shudders, the muscles in her powerful back twitch, and her terrible teeth itch. Still she climbs, swaying her head, breath rasping over the flower bundle in her maw.

Squish. Squelch. Splat.

Her paws come upon thick, sticky, golden puddles that ooze between her toes. Another grunt, this one more pleased. She was nearing the roost, and this torturous climb would end. Closer and closer until, finally, the activity reaches a fever pitch. The air thrums with insect wings, and honey drips from the walls...

She pokes her head into the chamber. A clumsy creature bounces off her skull-- another off her shoulder. They blunder about the empty space and grasp at the pollen on the bear, twitching their long antenna. They filter in and out of the open windows, making no effort to conceal themselves. They're very visible from below, where the King Akira watches with a scrunched muzzle. 

The bear herself simply yawns, lies down in the center, and falls asleep.




The tower has been over taken by  GIANT HELL BEES, which are maintained by a COMMON BUT VERY DISGRUNTLED GRIZZLY BEAR. If you're brave enough to invade, you might find something special... Or you might get stung a lot. Maybe both??

They are this big:

Every action your character does will effect their personal outcome of this event! I'll be posting as a NPC/DM. This is a test run of something I've been wanting to try out for a while, so we'll see how it goes! Any suggestions to make it run smoother or more enjoyable for you are super welcomed.

The only rules are to have fun and be nice!

A sleek black and grey form slipped through the foliage as it moved around the border of the territory. Ranach moves to a halt, gaze sweeping across the area that laid before him. He wondered if a patrol wasn’t nearby or if any wolves were around in general. The male was tired of traveling and he finally wanted to settle down with a pack. He found this territory and with it being the closest to him he figured he would give it a try and see if they would accept him. For so long Ranach had never wanted the pack life, enjoying the freedom he got with not having authority and other pack members to worry about. But after so long he grew lonely and tired of the constant day to day moving, he wanted to just finally settle down and call somewhere home. Finally the male grew tired of waiting and he tipped his head back andlet out a long howl. He was trying to alert the pack of his presence in hopes of them finally finding him.

  Hungry Hungry Lizard
Posted by: Chill Dibs - April 22, 2019, 02:29:43 PM - No Replies

It had been a lengthy period of time since Tyrg had last eaten. He could normally stay his hunger well, but this time he waited too long. He slowly moved his large, lumbering body, smelling the air occasionally with his long forked tongue. Despite the discomfort of his hunger pangs, he managed to find some comfort in the weather, with it being neither too hot nor too cold. His lumbering about came to a stop though when he picked up a scent. Venison. He thought to himself. Cautiously, he followed the scent hoping to find food, and luckily enough he did. A male Elk, standing in place in a small clearing, eating at a fern, unaware of Tyrg’s presence. Tyrg slowly moved towards the elk before he stepped on a fallen branch, cracking it under his weight. The elk quickly looked at Tyrg, made eye contact and started to run to run. As soon as Tyrg was found out he bolted at the elk, his large frame going from slow, quiet, and lumbering, to quick, loud, and deadly within a matter of seconds. Tyrg quickly snapped at the rear of the elk, his serrated jaws tearing into it and stopping it in place. He whipped his head around trying to kill or incapacitate the struggling elk. It took a few minutes but eventually the elk went unconscious or died. Just to be certain he crushed the elk in his large jaws before swallowing it whole. Now tired and with a full belly, Tyrg lied down to rest and let his food digest.

And I've never been to Mars
But I've traveled around this world
Shooting fireworks and falling stars, and prison bars



Afua thought that he'd grown weary of traveling, and had often wanted to rest. Now that it was done and he was free to rest, he was weary of sitting still. It seemed what ever he did or where ever he went he wanted to do something else and be some where else. The burn wounds on his leg were tight and painful whether he was moving or not, but he did grow tired and sore quickly when he went on walks these days. 

He lay next to a still pool and looked into the water, it was clear and looked refreshing but he had never been a water lover. Where he came from it was as likely to find a croc in it as not... This water was transparent and seemed pleasant enough but still he only looked. He didn't even know if water would ease wounds, what kind of idiot would he look like to climb into the pool only to find that it did nothing, or made it worse.

He heaved a deep sigh and rolled on his side, wondering where his brother had gone off to. He'd told the small and strangely clad wolf that let him into Gemini that he would be useful, and he did intend to keep his word. At the moment though, he just wanted his thoughts to stop plaguing him and his leg to feel mildly better.
