  • Confident strides bring Midsummer up to the borders of a land that he is not personally familiar with but at the very least has heard of. Goal of his initial mission still stands, he knows that, and so one might believe that the decision to get involved in a group rooted within one set location was a foolish one. Midsummer most certainly was a fool, complete and utter idiot for trying to clean up after others and even more of an imbecile to rely on outside aid in his endeavours, but this was not a bad choice as far as he was concerned. If there had been one thing of particular use that he had learned through the years of espionage that he had endured during his life thus far, it was that settling down somewhere for however long was not always the worst thing to do.


    Situation such as the one that he found himself currently caught up in was quite a tricky one. At least if he let his paws touch the ground for more than three seconds then he would be able to collect his thoughts and get to better know his surroundings without having to slink suspiciously between territories like some kind of rotten criminal. Here, Midsummer would be gifted with the opportunity to formulate a real plan of action, something that he had failed to do in the first place what with the spontaneous nature of his journey. With that all being said, he was not a criminal in any way, shape, or form and would vehemently argue against the notion should anyone attempt to convince him otherwise. Sometimes an individual may do things that, from a moral standpoint, could be perceived as 'bad' though if they acted in such a manner under just reasoning then there was nothing wrong with it.


    This is not a topic that he needs to remind himself of very often. However, today there seemed to be something that was troubling him though why it comes to mind now of all times is entirely beyond him. Perhaps it was because he had unintentionally left Ford behind. Ford, right, fuck. Yet another issue which needed to be resolved as quickly as possible to avoid any budding complications from blooming into an entire garden more thorn than rose.


    "Knock, knock. Anyone home?" Honeyed baritone voice rumbles from golden serval's throat as he barely holds back an exasperated sigh, endeavour to distract himself centred on garnering attention. Sharpened glare of bronze frosty as it sweeps across the terrain visible directly before him not in search of approaching strangers but instead simply surveying the land. He knew how things worked around here within these groups hence why he had been respectful enough to linger on border instead of strolling straight into their territory. They really should count themselves lucky that he was willing to play the part of tolerant stranger in tiresome waiting game when patient was anything but a descriptive word he would pin onto himself. Expelling any negativities that had started to brew within his mind already his stationary state, Midsummer sat himself down with back ramrod straight and tail curled neatly around his paws, waiting.

    The large saber tooth-tiger hybrid found herself walking around, trying to adjust to this new body. It was strange and in a way, reminded of her father. Whatever. Cosmicshadow heard the familiar call of a stranger on the border. Once again, she makes her way over to greet them. Her different colored eyes stare into them. Trying to get a read on why they may be here. To join? To bring news? To cause trouble? She wasn't sure but guessed she was about to find out. "Why are you here?" it was quick and to the point. She never saw a need to welcome everyone with open arms, because she didn't even know them half the time. For all she knew, they could be here to cause trouble for her tribe mates.

  • — Rin came up beside Cosmic next, throwing her tribemate an extra glance at the bluntness of her tone. She was envious of her ability to be blunt about what she was feeling. To wear the heart on the sleeve is braver than any facade. However, that didn't mean Rin still didn't put one on as she turned her focus to the receiver of the question.


    "Welcome to the Hyperian Isles, I am Katrina and this is Cosmic. As she has asked, please state your name and business here." She knew she had to play the role here and act nice. She didn't know who this serval was, but they could have connections and rudeness could affect her tribe poorly. At least, that's what she told herself as she waited for a reply, golden eyes focused on the stranger.

  • Amusement painted pretty painting across Midsummer's features, airy laugh ghosting through parted maw and eyes crinkling up as crescents to accompany smile that makes itself home upon his lips. It is entire contrast to bored neutrality which had lain, dormant, upon his countenance prior but he just cannot help himself once unfamiliar face spits out blunt query. Certainly not the warm welcome that he had been anticipating since he had presumed that all of these group dwelling individuals, or the more moral bound ones at least, would have been delighted to see harmless stranger on their borders. Because, that was what he was. Just a harmless little traveller here to cause no trouble lest it find itself to him first. What would happen if problems did happen to materialise before him? Well, that was a bridge that he was sure they would be able to all cross together if it ever came down to it.


    "You most certainly don't mess around here, now do you?" he remarks casually, regarding stranger through critically curious eyes. They are much larger than him and perhaps on the grounds of raw strength alone, they could easily tear him limb from limb. Luckily for him, he supposed, all things in life were not necessarily decided through a single factor and he does his best to not let smile dissolve into sardonic smirk at such a thought. Brushing away the thoughts that had started to collect as dew within the spiderweb of his mind, he found further reminder surfacing now. He was not here to cause any problems. For once in his life, he was acting of his own accord and not as instructed which meant that making life more difficult for himself would be the worst thing to do here.


    It was as he opened his mouth to give more detailed response to the first stranger that another individual made their way over with words of welcome sounding sweet from wildcat's maw. That was much better, closer to what he had expected to be greeted with in the first place. Dipping his head in genuine gesture of respect, Midsummer allowed his expression to become one that was much more polite and lacking in initial traces of amusement. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Katrina and Cosmic." placid serval speaks up once more, nodding to each female in turn as he stated their name before pressing on, "As for me, my name is Midsummer and I'm here to join. Ah, if you'll have me that is."

  • "Of course we'll have you." The girl's voice starkly contrasted her clanmates' in its softness. She approached with curiosity in her gaze, head tilted as she regarded Midsummer through pale green eyes. His name was pleasing to the ear, almost striking her as poetic in a sense. All around he seemed like a nice person, with his calm demeanor and easy smile. "I'm Hestia, a Ranger here. Welcome to the Hyperian Isles." She dipped her head in a dutiful manner as she spoke; it was the respectful thing to do, right? "I can show you around if you want?"

    She glanced at Hestia who joined them, welcoming in the stranger. Cosmicshadow looked back to Midsummer for one last glance over. Guessing that they didn't give a reason for them to say no. So the large creature would step aside to allow them pass. Her bi color eyes stay on them for a moment longer before she speaks once again. "Welcome to Hyperian Isles." it was simple, but still a welcome.

  • — Midsummer. An intriguing name if she ever heard one. Though, many around here could have names under the same description. Rin's eyes tracked to Hestia as she approached, listening to her offer to show the newcomer around. She wasn't sure she would have made such an offer at her age, though she was appreciative of it. Seeing Cosmicshadow offer a welcome, the tigress noticed the hesitation. She had some as well, but she wasn't feeling anything, good or strong, coming from the serval. That meant she had nothing to act on as of yet. "If you have any questions or I guess if you just want to talk, I'm pretty much around all the time. Though, I don't know that I am the best at holding trivial conversation."

  • ✦ ✧ ✦ The young girl made her way over, standing tall beside Cosmic. She looks to the joiner with curious eyes, a kind smile coming across her face. "Hi there, welcome to Hyperia!" She says happily, curling her tail. "I'm Aphrodite, but Aphy is fine too! Pleasure to meet you." The little one says with kindness, tipping her head.
