    ミBURN && the light had been blinding. it laid a conquering hand over her, sudden and efficient in its ways, taking mind, body, soul, all. and try as she might, she could not escape. no one could.


    now eyes of the softest shade of lavender blink, snap open, and though summer sun beats down on her she is cold. no wait, freezing. she's freezing. why the fuck is she freezing? confusion, disgust, surprise, grips her tightly and the first of her instincts is to try and raise her temperature, to heat her body, to be warm again-- but nothing happens. her fire. where is her fire? eyes squeeze shut fleetingly, the woman trying to summon whatever flicker she can because she knows, she knows it's there, it's got to be there. still, nothing happens. "wh- what th' fuck." the outburst bellows past chattering teeth and then chicagocrimes is forcing herself to roll over onto her feet, her shaking feet, and a dry throat swallows down the rising bile.


    her head snaps side to side, a form of panic, a sway of alarm, ringing so many bells inside her god damn head, her cold brain. the scene before her is new, plain, just stretches and stretches of grassland and lake water and-- where is she, where the actual fuck is she right now? she doesn't know, she can't think, can't think when she's freezing. she's freezing and everything is trying to fuck her over and it has, it has. the fuck, she can't deal with all of this right now, she's so confused, she's so disgusted, she's so-


    angry.

    "WHAT THE FUCK," and that's a shout now, falling from a foaming mouth and tinting gentle plums into cruel ruby. she's disgusted and confused and angry, quaking jaws snapping at the air, at the invisible foes, at the world because this is fucked. this is so fucked. why did this shit happen? what the fuck was that light? where is she? where are her friends? thoughts swirl within the red haze that is her mind, tangent after tangent touching and kissing brain and she's-- she's crumbling. phantomly chest rises and falls at rapid pace, teeth grind, clench and unclench, and wintry hands have her in a choke-hold. she's disgusted and confused and angry and crumbling, and it shows and she wants to let it show.


    but then she knows, she knows, she knows, she needs to get her shit together, find her people-- three, jade, mike, smokey, aegis, even mel-- and figure out what the actual fuck is going on. so the beast of fire and brimstone takes one step, two, forces an ice-y body to move. three steps, four. chicagocrimes pushes herself ever so closer to discovering the truth.


    /yoo chica can like,, find y/cs in the grass / waking up or whatever if y'all are down for that lmao

    *:･ﾟ✦ Aegis' eyes opened slowly, but surely, to azure skies above her, the same colour as her eyes. Grass brushing her sides, she felt almost content to stay there a while; it only felt like one of her dreams, anyway, one of her good ones - and then she heard the swearing. Aegis's head swivelled to spot the source of the noise, as her eyes settled on Chica; who was extremely distraught. It wasn't too weird for someone to show up in her dreams, so this wasn't too alarming for her.


    Aegis rose to her feet, slowly, still not used to her fox body, as she shook her fur and looked towards Chicagocrimes - and she was about to speak when she felt her lace bracelets brush on her paws. That was odd. They weren't there in her dreams. She reached a paw down, running her pads over them, and her eyes went wide, and the panic started to set in. "This... this isn't a dream?" her voice was quiet, and filled with terror. "Wh-where are we...? Chica? where are we?" the panic was rising in her voice; so unlike her. Oh god, what happened to Ravelights? was he here too? would she ever see him again? her slender legs gave way beneath her as her second set of ears drooped and she fell to the floor, mumbling something to herself. This wasn't a dream. This was wrong.


    "Speech."

    won't you take my hand?

    Jade Russo

    I SAID I LIKE IT LIKE THAT

    weird. she feels weird, like she is not her own. the wolf's purple orbs looked around at the surrounding area, clenching her teeth at the cold chill. its freezing. too cold, even for the one who loved to be chilly. this place.. whatever it is... doesnt make sense to her. she has never seen if before. it doesnt feel like home and it makes her sick. jade allows her paws to drags on, before tripping over something. her eyes followed back to what it was. "is.. is that...?" her body. cold. dead. limp. it didnt make any sense. "chica! chica!" her deep Italian accent began to trip out, as she tripped backwards, hyperventilating. how in the hell was any of this possible?

    //ew short but wink

    "Speech."

    Claws dig into earth, straining to pull the massive beast to his feet. His narrowed olive eyes look around, disoriented and nervous. When he finally manages to stand, he shakes his legs out and groans. He feels like his entire body had fallen asleep save for his mind and even though he moves slowly as if through molasses, his thoughts are racing and bouncing around, trying to make sense of this situation. "What the.. Hell?" He squints against the sun, his eyes still adjusting to the light, trying to make out the shapes in the near distance. "Who.. Chica? Aegis..! Jade!" He calls out to them, stumbling bleerily towards them, feeling relief wash over him as he discovered that at least three of his clanmates had traveled with him to this strange place. "Did anyone see what happened? All I could see was that light." He glances to his best friend, who seems incredibly shaken by this change. He wants to offer Chica support but doesn't know how. Aegis seems scared as well, and Three aims to give her a hopefully reassuring pat with his forepaw. "I'm sure what ever's going on, it's going to be okay, guys."

    "Speech"

    "HIS HAIR'S A MESS AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS YET" & TAGS

    never had the german experience so much bullshit in his entire life. paws trekking across the lands in search of old faces he wanted to see after being off the grid for so long. then he felt the world shift, flip, a burning light with a sole line shooting through his mind:


    not again.


    a feeling of soreness and aching bones flooded over the blond, head throbbing and muttering curses of all sorts as he laid alone, feeling a faint breeze ruffling his fur. blue eyes slid open and narrowed while he pushed himself up, wobbling a little, and positioned his body to have all legs planted on the ground. wolfgang blinked a very few times as the headache died down and squinted, gazing at the unfamiliar territory and ears perked up at voices in the distance. legs jerked and faltered in the first few steps then grew stronger, more sure, as he pushed on, nostrils flaring. the scents filter in the dog's nose and tilted his head, speed picking up when he thought he heard an all too familiar voice. chica. wolfgang drew closer to the group of animals with little attention paid to them as the german stopped not too far from the female.


    "it's not fun when you get thrown into another universe, huh?"


    cold blue visionaries flittered over aegis, jade, and threefold then back to chica. no warm, welcoming greeting of the months he's been away. no sympathy of what happened. only business and planning what to do next. "what are your plans? and that doesn't include freaking out." might as well stay here until he can get settled before leaving once again.

    ミBURN && "chica? where are we?" she turns at once, red eyes chipping into the girl, the panicking girl, as soon as she looks. aegis, always so charming, always so thoughtful, wearing the ugliest form of misery, of panic, on too pretty a face. she steps forward at once, every single bit of her screaming that it's too cold, too cold, but a hand of brimstone aims to grab her wrist and pull her to her feet, touches as soft as they possibly can be. "get up." comes her lash of tongue. it's a rough tone of voice but not one lacking in feeling, in emotion. chica understands her panic only too well. "we- we don't have time for this right now, get up." as she dabbles chilly tongue, her mind is working in overdrive, a mantra rat-tat-tatting the door to her thoughts. find three, find jade, find aegis- found aegis, find mike, find smokey, find mel. find three, find jade, found aegis, find mike, find smokey, find mel.


    and then, screaming, screaming for her. CHICA! CHICA! it washes over the beast, mortifying, and moments ago she never thought she could possibly get any colder than she already is but now its like she's sweating ice. all because some gal's gotta mourn over her own death. it's too familiar a scene, too familiar to fishbone's own passing. a total clapback, a trip down trauma lane and anger, already boiling, now blisters, blisters and bleeds. whereas she had been slightly so gentle to aegis, in the throng of her horror, her grim horror, she aims to grab her panicking fiance by the arm and yank her harshly from the corpse, away. like that'll help whatever damage has already been done, but right now she doesn't know what else she can do except pull her away from the problem. she shoves her towards aegis with a scowl. words escape her, chica doesn't know what to say about it, doesn't know what to say to make things any better because right now, everything is shit. she could set it aflame- in fact she wants to, tries to burn the fucking thing just to feel the fire crackling in her mind that comes whenever she does, that she knows is supposed to come.


    supposed to, but doesn't.


    grinding chattering teeth, she turns to threefold. he always has been her best friend, always will be her antithesis. for in the scene of panic and confusion, whereas she fuels it with snapping jaws and hell, he is ever so much a balm for the sorrows, a sponge that sops up whatever chaos lingers in hectic minds. the water to her fire, the tails to her head, the good leader out of the both of them-- "yeah, i saw the fuckin' light--" but never good enough for her. it'll be okay, he says. it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll never be okay and there are a million things she wants to scream at him in that moment, mouth already flying open when lo and behold another comes out of the woodwork.


    ruby red eyes snap to the left of her, find too familiar a face staring back. "wolfgang." he is formal, direct, just like she remembers, not quite her opposite but not exactly her twin either. he is too cold, like the lands he led before their untimely demise, and.. arguably a good medium to have in this crisis. why is she not surprised to see him here? "s'that what this is? a new universe?" comes her grunt, a low thing that dribbles past trembling lips as chicago forces herself to straighten up. why the hell would that happen? and how would he know anything about it? it's like they're playing on 'more than meets the eye' here. get situated first, comes a reprimanding voice, ask questions later. like he says, what's the plan? they need a plan, something to go off of. "we need ta get our bearings first. scout around, check out those lakes fer food, water." and shelter? comes a little afterthought. who knows what sort of creatures go bump in the nights here. her firebrand orbs glance over what of the area she can see from where she stands, seeking possible places to make a camp out of. "sleepin' out in the open is a no-go, isn't it?"

    come on, don't be shy now

    *:･ﾟ✦ Aegis' response to Chica was understandable; she winced from the females harsh words but stumbled to her feet, still trembling; Threefold gives her a reassured pat, however Aegis sits there wishing the bear had given her a hug instead. The dark furred fox creature glances between Jade, Threefold, Wolfgang and Chica, and unbeknownst to her, forget me nots start to sprout at the feet of the anxious female - signs of a new power, taken shape. "We- no, we shouldn't... shouldn't risk the open, not with these numbers." Aegis stammered nervously, feeling rather weak.


    "Speech."

    won't you take my hand?

    Hunger ripped through the body. He wasn't cold. Mike was burning, melting ice and evaporating dew as he walks through the scene, coat on fire, radiating warmth. He stumbled, stomach growling, fire dimming. "Guys... anyone here?" The wolf asked, willing the fire to grow brighter and hotter, using more of his energy and almost falling out. He needed blood. Blood would help. "Chica? Three? Anyone?" Mike asked, walking farther and looking very scared. Vampires don't do well with anxiety. Not at all.
