    Now, the young girl hadn't seen hills such as these in some time. Hills that rolled, hills that dipped as the clouds loomed above them. Fields too, the vast fields where one could run and run and run and never get tired. It was all so bittersweet, the familiarity. It reminded her of home, but it also reminded her that she was not home. She woke up in a strange place, months older and her cowboy hat fitting just a little more snugly.


    People, she could smell people. The closer she got, the closer the dirty blonde felt towards people, and people meant someone to clean her filthy white paws and stomach, someone to get her something proper to eat. People meant voices, voices that finally weren't her own. But people also meant talking, and getting to know people. Oklahoma could only hope they were just like her old town.


    For a second, she stopped. For a second, she let her green eyes wander, and her chest to expand and contract. She sat, and for the first time since she woke up, she spoke the words she had been dreading.


    "This isn't Ireland."

He still wasn't perfect at recognizing scents and, while he could tell she didn't smell like a Windclanner, he simply assumed that she must be an ally or something considering she was well past the border. However, as he passed he caught her words. She thought she was going to be in Ireland? Did Ireland even exist in this world? Stopping immediately, Henry made his way quickly towards her before stopping in front of her. "Excuse me, miss? Are you alright? You're absolutely correct in the assumption that you are not, in fact, in Ireland. You're in Windclan," The canine spoke, gazing down at her with a light frown. He didn't bother trying to reprimand her for crossing the border without permission. If she was a former human or simply from a different country, she wouldn't know why it mattered and she couldn't be punished for something she had no way of having knowledge of. Besides, it didn't appear to him that she would be trying to cause any trouble.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify][size=8]the territory still takes some getting used to, in frisk's opinion. when they ever think of windclan, things like neon signs and weathered cement, the bustle of cars and crowds come to mind. and when they think of shadowclan, they think of home, with it's rainforest-esque habitat and it's thick, humid fogs that kept away even a sliver of winter's kisses. here, their feet push through snow, a subtle crunch resonating with each step. they mess with the flowers and shrubs around their neck more, too, feeling a little piece of them die every time a petal comes off or a leaf sheds another shade of color. frisk approaches oklahoma, round eyes assessing her quickly before they hum a friendly greeting, "ah, hello! Ireland.. isn't that a country?" they look briefly to Jekyll to see if he knows the answer, but their gaze quickly flits back to the newcomer

    The girl looked up, green eyes going comically wide as the stranger approached. Now, this was a sight, and a smell. He was taller than her, by far, and he smelled very odd, he smelled like the hills that surrounded her. Oklahoma simply didn't know what to say to the stranger, was she trespassing? He didn't look offended in any way, so the kitten assumed she wasn't going against any rules. She would just wait for him to talk.


    But as he opened his mouth, she couldn't help but blink rapidly and gawk in disbelief. He talked like a hames, his voice was simply... wrong! She quickly shut her mouth, which had momentarily been hanging open, and looked up at Henry with fearful eyes. "WindClan? What a gas name, an' a gas way ye have of speaking!" she breathed in disbelief. Her voice was heavily accented, and her body language suggested fear. The way her tail twitched, her eyes darted, and she shifted her weight from side to side.


    the girl turns to the other stranger, jumping at the sudden new presence. she gasped once again. "Ye too? Does everyone here talk as if they're locked?" she asked. Her voice was soft, showing that she didn't mean it in an offensive way, but was genuinely curious and afraid of this new culture. "Ireland... was my home. A grand ol' country."

Why was she so horrified? Then he heard her words and his eyes widened in understanding. "So you really are from Ireland! I'm from England myself but it is lovely to meet you. I've never been to Ireland, you know. Never had the time when I was working in the hospital, after all. I didn't really go on vacations. Besides, Ireland was too far for my liking anyway although I think I would have liked to visit someday. I honestly thought that Windclan was an odd name as well but it grows on you. My name is Dr. Henry Jekyll, by the way, although I just go by Jekyll. What would your name be? Are your parents around?" He asked, not appearing to be offended in the least by her reference to his speech.

    Oklahoma let a fearful smile fall over her lips, seeing as they had no intentions to harm her. Still, she was nervous, this new place and way of speaking made her a bit uncomfortable. It was a culture shock, to say the least, all these different sights, words, and places. It was quite the shift in perspective and would definitely take some getting used to. At Henry's words, the girl nodded softly.


    "Workin' in ta hospital always seemed deadly great. I've heard that Englands better than Ireland, but I don't believe it for a second," she joked lightly. It seemed, out of nerves, she was avoiding meeting anyone's eye, and her voice was still just above a whisper. "Well, m'names Oklahoma," she started, before shrugging her small shoulders. "I have no idea where Ma and Da are, all I know is I'm all manky and was wondering if I could get some help?"


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]Holydove had silently made her way over, listening in fascination. Even when she had been a human, she'd only been from plain old America. She had no idea Jekyll was from England, and she'd only ever heard of Ireland. She wanted to visit both countries back when she was a human. She wanted to visit many different countries and learn all about their history and architecture. Of course, none of it ended up happening given her tragic early end in her teenage years while she was still studying in school and had no money to travel before her death. But it had been quite the shock adjusting from a human life to one where she was a rabbit and still had absolutely no idea what country they lived in. It was a huge adjustment to be made on it's own. She could understand the newcomer's ache for home. "It's nice to meet you, Oklahoma. If you want help finding your family, we are more then willing to help you search." The rabbit assured, pausing before adding. "And you're very much welcome to stay here in Windclan as long as you need or wish in the meantime."


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border:0px; font-family: arial; width: 315px; text-align: justify; margin-top: -20px; text-transform: lowercase;]


    Oklahoma watched yet another stranger approach, and she unconsciously took a step backwards, seconds later scolding herself. Be brave, ye silly duck! she thought sternly. Ma and Da always tell you to be friendly. Listen to the woman as she talks to you! She blinked back into reality to realize that this new stranger was, in fact, talking to her. Oklahoma only managed to catch her last phrase, and adjusted her brown cowboy hat so it wasn't falling over her eyes.


    The girl cleared her throat, gathering the courage to talk to these strange sounding people. "Uhm, yea, I would love ta stay 'ere, if that's alright. Not lookin' ta be a burden," she murmured softly, finally lifting her green gaze so she was looking up t the other girl. "You don't happen ta have a place to wash off in, do ya? I'm flah'ed out. I've been walkin' for some time."


    Her tiny paws were tired, and despite how grown up she had to act now, without the aid of her parents, she was just a kid looking for a nap.


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid #000000; width: 440px;][justify][size=7pt]Holydove was taken a-back when Oklahoma instinctively took a step back at the sight of her, trying to hide the slight temptation of an amused smile on her lips. It was not at all to make fun of the feline, rather she was not at all used to that sort of reaction from anyone, being a rabbit. It was only once in a blue moon she ever met someone smaller then herself. "Of course, Oklahoma. You're more then welcome to stay." her expression softened, her smile becoming warm and welcoming. "I can take you over to wash off, and then I can help you pick out a cabin to sleep in if you'd like." Holydove offers. "I really love your hat, by the way!"


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border:0px; font-family: arial; width: 315px; text-align: justify; margin-top: -20px; text-transform: lowercase;]


    Oklahoma felt her cheeks flush red as she watched the amusement flicker through the bunny's eyes. A bunny for gosh sake, she had stepped away from a bunny just because it was a wee bit bigger than her. Flustered, the girl looked back at the ground and nodded, internally grateful for being allowed to stay but not being able to voice it. But when she complimented Oma's hat, the girl felt the need to look up. "Go raibh maith agat," she said softly. "I've had it since I was a wee babby," she added softly.


    After a moment of looking around, the green eyed feline tilted her head. "Where are ye gaffs, anyway?"

Combined with their use of modern words, odd lingo, and accents he just couldn't make out what they were saying. Michael used plenty of words he didn't understand and everyone else seemed to be increasingly informal. Not only was this little one using words he didn't understand but it was also difficult for him to pick out what she was saying in her thick accent. While it wasn't awful, he still had no clue what 'gaffs' meant which was quite the predicament to be in considering she had just used it in her last question. "I'm very sorry but I haven't the faintest idea what 'gaffs' means," He apologized with a sheepish smile, shuffling his paws and glancing down at them for a moment before looking back up at the child.

    The girl blinked in slight disbelief, her head slightly falling to the side. Her hat tilted with her head, and if it wasn't for her white paw that shot up to catch it and readjust it, it would've fallen in the soft dirt below her. But she caught it, and sheepishly tilted her upright so he hat wouldn't slip again.


    The girl adjusted her weight from paw to paw, realizing how silly she must sound. They didn't know what she was saying half the time, they weren't in Ireland. "I must sound gone in the head. A gaff is a house," she explained softly. Her soft paws padded lightly at the ground out of sheer nerves. Would they make fun of her for her funny talk as she had done to them seconds earlier?

  • [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=none; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=0px; width: 370px;font-size:8pt;line-height: 130%;][justify]The other's method of speaking was.. peculiar. It had taken Cherviltea quite a few moments to process and debate the meaning to each singular word. Eventually, however, he drew to a halt by Holydove, and realised that he couldn't really remain silently pondering over what the other meant. That, and they had resounded with an inquiry that he could now, understand and answer, given that they had explained the meaning of the word 'gaff'. "Most of our homes are located back at camp, which is back there," The collie would pivot slightly, pointing a fore-paw back in the direction of the depths of the territory, before eventually realising that such was likely not quite the most descriptive of directions. "It's in the center of a big clump of trees, really." It seemed as if Holydove had already volunteered to show the other to camp, however. "Oh yeah, I'm Cherviltea Xerses, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Oklahoma." It was a.. peculiar name - sounding as if it pertained to some sort of city, or region. Cherviltea held a strong dislike for cities; and for industrialisation in general, though that was him and his memories, and he would abstain from mentioning it.


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border:0px; font-family: arial; width: 315px; text-align: justify; margin-top: -20px; text-transform: lowercase;]


    The girl had seen the other standing in the back of the small crowd that had gathered, and she hadn't really expected him to speak up, but when he did it didn't shock her. This one talked funny too (but by now she was starting to guess she was the funny one), but she guessed everyone did here. Instead, she listened to his words and let her green gaze follow his paw. "That seems like a donkey's year to walk, if ye ask me. This place is bloody huge," she observed softly, a ghost of a smile on her maw. It was just like Ireland.


    She looked back at everyone else, her heart aching. She could cry about not being able to find her parents later, when she was alone. When she wouldn't be bothering anyone else. For now, these strangers, no matter how strange they were, were helping her. "It's nice to meet you all. This place is quare strange, and I must be soundin' as mad as a box of frogs, but you all have been nothing but kind. Go raibh maith agat, thank you," she mused softly, smiling at all of them. Then, adjusting her hat, she started to walk towards the camp, hoping the others would follow in case she got lost.
