IC: Atlas replied to his kit's inquiry, "Oh I'm just fine." He listened as Bristol used Russian, but he couldn't quite decipher the words. He had to remember to ask Bristol to give him lessons, since so many of his kits now talked the language. [/justify] [/fancypost] |

IC: Yea, Nature was talking about a thread where the dancers all fall asleep and dream that they're humans for a whole day, but still have their feline experiences so they won't know how to be humans XD
I think the thread would be fun! [/justify]

IC: Ratatosk hesitated, unsure of the twoleg machines - One of them had hurt Magini pretty badly a while ago. However, if Nidhogger deemed it safe, he trusted his judgement, for the black canine had more experience with these things. So he quickly jumped on next to him before the subway began moving, sitting surprisingly comfortably considering the fact that two large dogs were trying to squeeze into a small area. The train grinded to a start, shuddering and lurching. As it gained speed, the ride became smoother and Ratatosk began enjoying himself more, to the point where he let out a whoop and let his tongue and ears flap in the wind. [/justify]

IC: He chuckled and nodded in agreement to Nidhogger's words. "You also have to give them the fact that they found such a fun way to go long distances." Ratatosk's one remaining eye reflected the brilliant lights of the city, shimmering above the water and twinkling in the falling dusk as the subway zoomed by. [/justify]

OOC - Thanks moro! It's accurate! Ugh I'm so horrible with finding pictures XD
Still working on my initial post, I just gotta finish Barum XD
Atlas just stood there in surprise at the kiss - Cats didn't normally do that, so it was new for him, but, strangely, he didn't mind. He offered the human-ized Bristol a smile before turning to Nidhogger. "She's crazy - That's what I like about her." He almost leaped in surprise at the sound of his own voice - It was deep, smooth and pleasant, who knew that the ape language could actually sound good?
Ratatosk blinked in surprise as a random girl fixed his shirt then looked closer - She seemed familiar. However, her question made it click. "Oh, Magini! You're here too!" He looked around in confusion. "What... What actually happened?"
"Trux!" Could be heard as an average-sized man with gray hair and a gray beard came sprinting down the hall. "It's me, Barum." He said. How did he know this male was Trux? Well, come on - They bore an obvious resemblance, what with the eyes and the hair color. And there, of course, was the Rite Master. As if being a two-headed snake wasn't weird enough, it looked even worse in human form. However, much like Garhul, he resisted the urge to run in the other direction and looked quizzically at them.

IC: Ratatosk laughed. "For real." Then he flinched again at the horrible screech of the speakers, and the subway began to slow down, shuddering once again to a jerky stop. Ratatosk leaped off, landing squarely on the floor of the station, then waited for his brother to join him. [/justify]

OOC; Hope you don't mind if I borrow your battle tag format, Moro! ;)
Another set of thundering paws was added to the march, as Ratatosk speeded up and ran alongside Nidhogger, lips stretched in a grin and his single orange eye blazing like fire in the night. "Let's kill them all!" He shouted. Ever since his RoP, Ratatosk has found himself to have a bloodthirsty side, and tonight was the time to put it in action. The saber teeth that protuded from his mouth gleamed like liquid silver, deadly, sharp, ready to stab things as he ran, his long ginger and white fur flowing in the wind and darkness.
Atlas ran gracefully up and leaped onto Nidhogger's back as well, alongside Bristol, his eyes looking like black holes in his pale ghost of a body. He laughed loudly, the cold sound echoing through the silent night. Of course, he didn't understand Russian so could not decipher Bristol's words, but they sounded powerful. "Let's wreck chaos together, dear." He murmered to her as they drew ever closer to the impending clash.
Barum had chosen to stay behind and protect camp, as was his duty as a Warder. Besides, he wasn't one for running at the enemy with hooligan war cries. He preferred stealthy sneak attacks, made with precision and lots of planning. So, he watched over the Hive, devoid of anybody but the nutties.

IC: Ratatosk scanned the available locations with a critical eye, his gaze landing on a bar-and-grill restaurant. Apes ate their food on the outside deck, and drunken shouting and the sounds of a sports broadcast could be heard from within. He pointed with a jab of his muzzle. "There." He stated simply, hoping Nidhogger would see the appeal in the place, with its delicious aromas and stockpiles of food and alcohol. [/justify]

IC: Ratatosk nodded to him and swiftly went up to the balcony railing, crouching there then springing up and snatching food whenever two legs weren't looking, or when they went to the bathroom, or when they left leftovers on the table. Soon he had a whole pile of goods, and he ginned at his rewards, a lot of them consisting of baby back ribs and steak, typical foods served at this type of restaurant. He looked over to see how Nidhogger was doing, only to find him distracted by some female. Ratatosk had to admit, she was very gorgeous, but his brother had a job at hand. So, Rotators swiftly kicked a small pebble, not big enough to hurt but he would feel it regardless, in the general direction of Nidhogger, hoping that it would hit him and snap him out of it.

OOC; I'm just laughing so hard at how good Bristol is at making everybody uncomfortable XD
And no, they don't look bad Loner, it's just that you don't see a two headed human every day haha.
Atlas did one of his famous You-Just-Wait-I'll-kill-you-later stares at Brev, before turning to Trux, his hand still being clenched by Bristol's, nodding at his explanation. "The demons won't have us like this forever will they? We can't fulfill their needs like.... This." At his last word, he gestured at the human bodies they all possessed. Unlike the other males in the room, he was better at controlling himself around Bristol's antics, maybe because he was already close to her, or maybe that's just yet another weird thing about him. However, as much self control as he had, he couldn't keep his gaze from flicking to the side once in a while.
Ratatosk was distracted by what was happening down the hall, and be pointed at them. "I think those are the other dancers.... Yep, there's Nidhogger, all right." He said, Nidhogger standing out with his two different eye colors and being the tallest one there. He walked over and stood next to his dad as well. In this human form, it did not pop out instantly that they were related, but if you looked closely, some features stand out - Their matching eyes, the face shape, the ears. He said, perhaps unnecessarily, "It's me, Ratatosk!" Now he noticed a female who was obviously Bristol, and who appeared to be naked. He frowned and looked away, a bit weirded out by the human body parts, but the new ape male form was not weirded out in the least. "Yea, I'm just gonna go over here." He slowly snuck away backwards until he fell back into his apartment.
Barum was also starting to feel annoyed and a bit crowded at the sudden appearance of everyone. He already didn't like the majority of Fomori followers, and when Bristol stripped, he just muttered under his breath a bit before sighing and saying, "Waiting it out seems to be the best we can do."

IC: Ratatosk was stopped in his tracks when the pretty dog walked into plain sight. She looked like a fox, lean and graceful, with a pretty tan-red color lightly on her pelt, as if it were gently airbrushed there.
