Friend or Foe 3.0

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono scratched his head at the idea, but remembered what he did to the lion for stabbing him. "Um I'm not exactly sure if its safe for me to be here. A wolf girl said if reptiles acted 'hostile', things would not turn out well, even if it is self-defense..." He suddenly felt his stomach growl, and his face had a twinge of embarrassment. "Nevermind, I-I guess I could stay for awhile, if the food is good..."

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno quieted down, trying to not draw any attention. When Romei spoke he just agreed. Other than that he was quiet. He looked at Mordecai still cautiously, he didn't know him here or in reality. Then he looked at Romei. "That's Rigor...Hmm...Do Chameleons eat rabbits? I doubt it...Rigor wouldn't eat me...right? Humm...That must be her friend then...Maybe he won't eat me. At least tha- WHAT IS THAT THING?!" As Reno thought he eventually saw Riku in the distance. Which wasn't hard even at the distance he was at...He is very large...

[kayle]

Kayle's ears drooped at the inn keeper's response.  "Well, thank you anyway, sir."  The folf left the inn and stepped out into the square.  Some other people were gathering in the center of the square, including the rabbit he'd tried to help earlier.  Across the plaza was... Who the heck is THAT?  It was a wolf, a HUGE wolf.  The canid had to be eight feet tall.

Kayle looked around again.  Well, the oversized wolf looked to be in the same boat he was, so... Maybe he would be a little friendlier than some of the others around here.  The folf strolled across the open area to the wolf.  He tentatively extended a paw.  "Um... Hi... I'm Kayle."  Kayle felt a tremor of nervousness run through him.  Man, as strong as I am, this guy could probably break me in half, if I tick him off.

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

Riku grunted apprehensively as he saw a figure gesture towards him over at the fountain. He began to think hard on what his next move could be, He got himself involved, which seemed to have worked out for the best. Although he also realised that he couldn't stay in front of the door forever. His thoughts were interrupted by a small creature ( everyone is small to him) speaking to him and offering his paw to him. Looking down at Kayle, he ignored the paw and simply asked "..Why is one such as you speaking to me?..." His voice sounded like boulders being ground together as Riku took over.

Moving forward and bringing his arm down, he picked up the folf in one swift movement, holding him in midair with apparent ease "...I could crush you if I wished, end your life.." The deceased wolf held him there for a long time, looking deep into his eyes before letting him go "You pose hardly any threat...I...I am Riku, what is it you wish?" If he breathed, he would've been panting heavily as the fatigue starts to set in. He needed sustenance.

Felodran nearly lept out of his skin as he saw the bakery's owner armed with a rolling pin. Weighing his options, he didn't want to commit a murder or get beat, but then angry vendors wasn't a fun option either. He swallowed hard and stood up.

"I know what this looks like... but... please, I know I'm a Lynx but I just need to lay low..." he stopped this train of thought in medieval world, probably wouldn't understand that modern phrase.

"I mean i need refuge... there's a small troupe of angry vendors out for my blood... please, please madam please do not force me out, please do not call the guards. I promise I will explain what's going on as soon as I can."

         Mordecai glanced over at the large creature after he caught the rabbit's shocked stare, just in time to catch the other hybrid's approach to the creature. Remarkably, he felt hardly any reaction to that, save a small bit of grim amusement. Mordecai's sentiment was overwriting him here in this world.

         "Then lets go ahead before something else goes awry.." The lion-wolf hybrid muttered, keeping casual as he strode through the people of the square toward the alleyway connections where he tracked the thief. It was quiet there, and much more isolated than the square. But as he walked by the wolf-creature and the hybrid, he gave them a sideways glance. Should they be...normal townsfolk, there wouldn't be much to it. But should they be one of them, maybe they would catch on, and come find them when the dragon and the lynx return.

Again the bear chuckled, "Aye reptiles can be just as evil or nice as any other creature on the planet. That doesn't concern me. This is a neutral ground; there won't be trouble here. Do you want th' job or not?" He was tired of playing around, if this dragon wanted the job he ought to say so or forever hold his peace about it. "Course, if ya don't want it, I'll be needin' those clothes back for whoever I offer th' job to next.

The vixen simply stared at the lynx, perplexed. "And what's in it for me if I say yes?" She wasn't stupid. She wasn't about to let someone in her shop and her spare room meant for her apprentices just to rob her blind. "I need a better reason than I don't understand. If I give you refuge, what do I get in exchange?" Her hands rested on her hips, the rolling pin still in one of them, a stern look on her maw as she waited for an answer. "I may look naive but I can tell you, sir, I am not, and I'll not be having you coming in here with a front and taking all my goods or my gold."

----

Romei simply followed the lion wolf. There wasn't any use in questioning it, she figured. What's the worst that could happen? She wondered if this was like a dream, and if something were to happen to her if she would wake up. When everyone's eyes had squandered upon the large canine, she merely continued on. He wasn't much of a surprise thanks to her new advantages concerning her sight.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono did indeed think about it, then thinking about the possibility of trouble being delt with if he had some form of weapon for self-defense. "I can't see why not; how soon will I be making a weapon?" He said while flicking his talons, sometimes giving off a tongue of flame between the talons as he flexed them flat. It only took him a few moments before he could make a floating fire-ball, but it paled in comparison to what he knew this body was capable of...

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno followed Romei and Mordecai where they went, still looking at the large wolf to their side. He watched as he picked up that other wolf looking guy, he just figured he was going to be eaten. Which didn't bother Reno, after all it was just one person who was going to eat him, get eaten by another person. As they passed closer by the wold Reno had to look up at him, now thinking " 'oly crap, I'm like a cheese-it to this guy!!" He looked away trying to act natural, hopefully not drawing attention to himself. Getting eaten was not on his to do list.

[kayle]

Kayle gulped as the larger canid lifted him, and then set him back down.  The folf let out a relieved breath.  "Well, I just wanted to say hi, and to see if perhaps we could help each other."  The folf's stomach growled.  "And I'm hungry, and it looks like you are, too.  And, if my hunch is right, you probably woke up in a room that's not yours this morning.  Am I right?  Why don't we help each other for a bit?"

[Gabag]

Felodran took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Listen Miss, I'll do any oddjobs you need doing, and if I steal, promise me you'd immediately turn me into the guards, you have my word I will not resist"

Felodran knew in the back of his mind that promising his word when he was a lnx meant next to nothing, considering how the Lynx empire betrayed the reptiles so easily.. He could only hope that this woman would trust him on his word and not beat him down with a rolling pin.

[Brooklyn K. Grey]

              Once he reach the alleyways, he followed the scent of the scaled thief from before until he reached the point where he disappeared. He crouched down, brushing the ground where he stood not too long ago, before speaking up to address the two that had came with him.

              "This is where I chased the thief that addressed you earlier." The hybrid glanced back to look at the rabbit before returning his gaze to the ground, falling back into a distance stare.
              "I approached him with the knife he dropped before, and held it at his throat in order to try an ascertain whether he could be of any use. And in return I received a cryptic message and this."

                The lion-wolf pulled the sleeve of the tattered robe back to show the wound where the scaley had struck out. By now the wound had healed over some, but its distinct marking was still visible on Mordecai's forearm. At the sight he frowned, the memory of screwing up still haunting, but not as painful as before.

              "He told me I wasn't the only one like me. And-" But he cut himself off, deciding that the last part wasn't necessary to tell yet. Or...maybe at all. The scaley's interest in him might make them suspicious. And he needed no more difficulties than necessary.
              "And then he disappeared, leaving this robe I'm wearing and his other knife. I held on to them as it was better than leaving weaponless in a world like this."

              The hybrid stood up slowly, before turning around to glance at the two, using the silence to judge their reaction and if they trusted his words.
              "And that's all I know besides I woke up this morning in my current state, with no explanation."

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"Oy, it'll be a while before ye learn about making weapons. First you gotta learn other things." He scratched his head. "An' I can't teach ye to make a weapon until I see how you act in town. 'Opefully this will be yer first and last incident that we need to worry about." He brushed his hands off, as if settling a decision. "Hmmm." Armel dug out a pouch that contained some coins. "Look, we'll need to eat tonight," he dropped the pouch in the dragon's hand. "Go to the baker's and get a loaf of fresh bread. Then go to the butcher's and get some meat. Tell 'em Armel sent ya, then come straight back." This would be the dragon's first test, he decided. If he ran off, it was alright, it wasn't all of his money, just a small amount, and if he stole some, the bear would know because he knew how much was in it and how much the bread and meat would cost all together; 5 gold.

"Fine." The Vixen said after a long moment of thinking. "Now look here. I have a room upstairs. One is mine, the other is empty. You can sleep there, though, I warn you, it's scarcely furnished. There's a mattress, that's about it." She crossed her arms looking the Lynx over, "And look in the closet. Some of my old husband's clothes might fit you. I won't have you working at my shop looking like THAT." She pointed her rolling pin at his rags with a sneer.

-----

"Mmm." Romei listened carefully, hanging onto each word the lion said. "Vell, I can certainly tell you I vas not a chameleon vhen I vent to sleep. I was only like zhis after I woke up... I vent to bed somewhere else entirely." He crossed his arms. The lion seemed familiar for some reason, but he couldn't place it. He looked to the rabbit, "And, vell, this is reminding me of one of my friend's characters... Even has zhe same name."

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno gave a nervous chuckle and nod when Romei said he had the same name as a character she knew. "Yeah, I'm Sergentcuddles. At least that's my name online. I'm in one of my characters. Reno, though it's kinda weird...Reno isn't really meant for this Dungeons and Dragons realm we're in. But this is all so weird...Being furry and all that...It's awesome, It's like what I've always dreamed!" He quieted down again, feeling himself getting talkative again. He looked at Mordecai, a little cautious, he didn't seem...Right.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono looked at the pouch, and nodded as he head down the stairs and out the inn. The immedeat reaction he got was shock and a few screams, since he was now rumored to be a wanted reptile...

Maybe I should have just let the lion die if this is the reaction I get; well, at least I can throw fireballs at attackers... he thought as he made his way to the bakery, knowing to pick up the perishables last from the numerous times his family forced him to go shopping with them.
