❧ Willow Branch ☙ \\ Safety for the Different // Roleplay

OOC: i'm actually wondering too how i should get my character connected up with the storyline, if anyone has any suggestions it'd be appreciated

Cameron (mine) just shot Calla (sampaw) in the gut after she attacked him while she was under Florence's (lars) influence and ran off into the woods. Deacon (sampaw) took Calla to the medic Margaret's (mine) place to get healed, then was asked to go tell others what happened. He stumbled into Florence and now they are in a standoff.

Meanwhile Tk (mine), Miley (White Rose), and Cyril (sadA) spent their morning finding Sundown (Natty) and taking her back to camp. They also had a run-in with Florence, but came out unharmed. Now they are cooking / eating food in the kitchen for the four of them.

Caspian (cyber) found Virgil (lars) after Cameron flipped out on him and took him into his home at the camp where they are now talking.

Tyran (Coloured) is still following Elise (SadA) and talking.

Gypsy (White) is alone maybe?

I think the seekers are busy for a moment, unless Gypsy wants to walk the perimeter or something.

You could also find eachother and try to work out what exactly happened and where you are.

OOC: Thanks for the awesome recap! I think it might be good to meet up with one another until we get found, Amplifang?

Sounds like a plan. Why don't you start first?

OOC: Already have. Page 23, about a third of the way down.

Deacon snarled softly, lips curled.
"You don't think that I see the way you treat Calla?" He asked.

OOC: Hello! Says lost creatures start by waking up in the forest, so that's what I'll do :)

IC: Mikey groaned, rolling over in the dirt and pine needles of the forest floor. He'd gotten drunk last night, and after leaving the party he'd run wild through the forest in his wolf form. He must've eventually passed out. All he was really sure of was that his head hurt and he felt vaguely like he was going to throw up.

Eventually he stood up, stumbling a bit as the world seemed to move at a different speed than he did. He had no idea where he was. He didn't think he'd been to this part of the forest before.

A stray beam of sunlight shining through the trees brought Fu awake mercilessly, and he opened his eyes wearily. The first thing he registered in his sight was his pet phoenix, Sparx: perched upon his owner's knee, the fire bird had a smug look about him that Fu wanted to wipe away. He snorted with annoyance instead. "Yúchǔn de niǎo. Tuī diào. Stupid bird. Shove off." Pushing himself up to a sitting position, he brandished a hand at the phoenix, who flew off and came back to land on his shoulder with an angry squawk.

Fu rolled his eyes but otherwise didn't respond. He wasn't sure exactly sure where he was, or how he ended up here. All he remembered was that he was running. Running from what...memory was a bit fuzzy, but a name stood out in bold, and he shied away from it internally. He'd remember more later. But right now, it was essential that he got a hint of his whereabouts. There was a funny looking arch way of interwoven trees, which he found slightly odd, but that was as much thought as he would give it.

(Translate doesn't like your Chineese.)

Mikey glanced around, hearing a voice nearby, but he couldn't make out the words. "Hello?" he called, heading in the general direction of what he had heard. Maybe whoever it was knew a way out of the forest.

OOC: GOD that was short and TERRIBLE but i am just so emotionally drained rn,,,

OOC: I'm cool with it!

OOC: Don't mind at all!
marsbat : Oh, hush.

A voice sounded from far away, and Fu frowned, hand clenching around the hilt of the sword he had strapped to his hip. Sparx fidgeted, and tiny bursts of flame jetted across his feathers. Who could that be, in the middle of a forest such as this? Fu was very curious to know, and whether or not he or she was a threat. He whistled a few notes, and Sparx was off and away, a fiery trail left behind as the phoenix flew.

Sparx was a keen bird, and therefore wasted no time in finding out his target. When a figure appeared in range, he let out a horrifying screech and cannoned into the boy, claws outstretched and pinning against his chest. The combined force of his speed and strength was enough to knock the stranger flat onto his back, leaving the phoenix standing upon his ribcage, regarding him with a baleful eye.

OOC: Go for it Rose

"Wha... woah!" Mikey fell back with the force, letting out a grunt as he hit the ground. He winced as sharp claws dug into his ribs, then looked down his chest at the rather intimidating bird. For a moment he remained silent, a little scared the thing would peck his eyes out, before he started speaking in a soothing tone. "It's... it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you, little-um, big guy," he cooed, trying to swallow his nervousness. "Please don't eat my eyeballs?"

[size=10px]A wave of relief swept through Marie when she'd heard another 'hello' nearby, immediately heading to the source of the noise. Hope? Someone to guide her? Even if it was someone as lost as her, having some company would make her feel secure in a time like this. However, as she walked over, she stopped in her tracks and quickly hid behind a tree when the creature tackled Mikey. Feeling near instant regret for hiding, she peeked over to check if he was okay before hesitatingly calling out.

“Jsi v po--erm, um, y-you okay?”

Her accent was quite apparent that she was foreign--either Slovakian or Czech. She waited a moment before stepping out, putting her hands in front of her as a sign of caution.

“A-are you, e-erm, hurt…?”

Marie kept her eyes on the bird as she took small, slow steps, so as not to aggravate the bird more than it probably was. Though it was fire, something she was clearly used to at this point, she didn’t want to take any risks.

Deacon shook his head, a weird feeling in his gut.
"No, I don't know what you are," he said.

Sparx cocked his head precariously, listening to Mikey's cooing and pleas with a bored interest. When the girl came out from the trees, however, he reacted with some hostility, fanning his wings out to either side of him and hissing. The living flames burst into an inferno around his feathers, something that happened when he was agitated or angry, and he screed again, a warning to stay away.

At that moment, Fu arrived, bursting through the bushes and stopping a few feet away from where the phoenix had Mikey pinned. "Lěngjìng zìjǐ,Sparx! Calm yourself, Sparx!" he shouted, and said bird, after hissing one last time, desisted and flapped back to his owner's outstretched arm. The flames died down, but a flick of fire occurred every few seconds; the phoenix was still not sufficiently calm. Neither was Fu, for that matter; his hand was poised dangerously close to his sword. "Míngchēng hé yìtú, xiànzài. Names and intentions, now," he said, softly but firmly, eying Mikey and the girl warily.
