The Warped (2nd Party)

[Ares the Ram]

When he finished the first fish, Macid almost leapt to the other ones in hunger. It had only been 2 days with some meat and bread, but this was a full blown meal that he wouldn't have for a long time afterwards. He gathered up the rest of the fried fish and began eating the rest. Taking a sip of water from the jug, he noticed a fox sitting on one of the barrels in the room. "He must be the one who that bear said would be down here with us if we needed anything." When the fox turned to look at Macid, he quickly looked down and continued to eat, avoiding eye contact. He wasn't sure about having someone they didn't know be with them, but he was enjoying his meal too much to care at the moment.

max finished off his food slowly, than drank his water. he made sure to put the plate and cup somewhere they wouldn't be knocked over. he quietly stood up and walked over to where he had left ramsey a few feet away and picked him up. he walked back to the bed and layed ramsey down carefully next to the bed, carefully pushing the majority of him under the cot so he was less obvious. max then layed back down on the bed and started slowly drifting off to sleep.

The fox had his food brought and taken from him every so often. The look on his face was still disturbing, but what was more eerie was the fact that despite eating and drinking, he sat in the exact same position with the exact same look whenever something wasn't in his mouth. Moon felt her belly burst with fullness, and went straight to sleep as well. The day wore on with very little activity, and the bear came down after sunset, carrying a large pile of robes and clothes. However, he kept his voice down, figuring everyone was probably still sleeping or just in a daze, "I have some clothes for you all, and cloaks to cover you up as you travel. You may stay the rest of this night, but you must be absolutely quiet. No whispering this time. The staff is going home, save the late night waiting staff, so the slightest peep will give you away. I will come and see you off in the morning."

When the chameleon finished eating, she layed back on her cot, not taking her one eye off of the fox as she laid there. Not until the bear came down with the clothing. Mortis grabbed an outfit and a robe from the pile of clothing, and examined them. She wondered if they were allowed to wander, but dismissed the thought, sure that the bear might think she was plotting or something. When the bear left back up the stairs, she half wondered when or how they were supposed to let them know if they needed something if they couldn't talk. She shrugged, again, picking up the clothes. She wanted to change, but she wasn't entirely comfortable with doing so in front of the others. After a few moments of debating, she stood up and changed, doing her best to be somewhat discreet about it, facing away from the others. She felt rather self conscious despite not being bothered by being shirtless, so she did her best to cover up as she did so, hoping no one was looking at her.

Constance had finished eating, it boosting her spirits a bit. She yawned, stretching out and lying down on her cot. She let out a satisfied sigh as she laid there curling into a little ball. When the clothes came in she was hesitant to get up to look at them. She soon did, wiping some tears from her eyes she had gotten from yawning. She was tired, but she would like some new clothes. She grabbed the most appealing ones to her and set them next to her to go back to her previously planned catnap. She had noticed their silent observer but payed him no mind, being to occupied with her food.

Macid had finished his meal of fish and rubbed his stomach in satisfaction. When the clothes came, Macid waited until everyone had gotten thiers before grabbing some for himself. Finding a pair of pants and a robe to cover himself with, he put them on immediately with no regard for decency. "There is no point in being shy about this. Its not like that fox would let us out of his sight or let us rummage around to make a cover to change behind."  The robe fit nice enough around his body, but the head cover was a little small, and couldn't cover his ears unless he folded them down. He made a mental note to ask for some needle and thread in the morning so he could try and alter it later. He yawned as he lied down on his cot and curled up in a ball for the night. He hugged Anon like a teddy bear and quickly drifted off to sleep, the exhaustion from the day finally catching up with him.

The night loomed over the sky without a cloud, but was completely black, being moonless. Moon didn't stir from her sleep at all, despite the women coming downstairs from time to time with their cnadles, fetching wine for the men that were still awake, and needed drink. All the while, One would drop off a pitcher of water each time they came down, replacing the one that's either warmed or finished off. The fox that was in the room with them all didn't change, still.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis layed down again after changing. It seemed as if when she wasn't doing something, she was laying on her cot as a default position. Her eyes didn't leave the fox when she did things. She didn't know why, but she felt intimidated just slightly due to his appearance. She crossed her arms across her chest, laying face up at the ceiling, the silence finally killing her somewhat. She rolled over onto her stomach and looked up at the figure. "Are you the one that they're leaving with us tonight?" she whispered lowly, being sure to talk when the women left. If he doesn't answer, I'm going to sleep, but it's at least good to find out who he is. she thought, looking up. She wondered if he would even answer her or if he would reprimand her for whispering against what the others had told her.

[Srgntcuddles]

After finishing her food Constance decided to continue her catnap. She heard Mortis question the fox but payed it little mind as she fell fast asleep. She rolled around in her sleep, often forcing the monkey to move. He eventually went to sleep with Moon to avoid harm. Constance was dreaming, in this dream she wasn't exactly herself. She knew it was her, but she felt weird. She was a lioness in the dream. Stalking a gazelle through some brush, stealthily making her way to it. Once close enough she pounced, sinking her teeth into it's hind end. It frantically kicked and tried to get free but Constance was easily able to over power the animal and soon brought it down. She waited until it was too tired to move and went in to bite it's neck, making a clean kill before getting to eating the creature.

"EVERYBODY GET THE ****** OUT OF HERE, NOW!" The loud voice even startled Moon to wake up. Over at the doorway, lay a dead, bloodied soldier, and the fox that had been watching them, holding a pair of bloody daggers. "Hurry back out the way you came! They know you're here! The manager and his men are doing their best to hold off the soldiers upstairs! Now go!" Suddenly another couple soldiers came down, the fox jumped over the door before they routed into the room, and dug his daggers into the backs of the necks, running the blades down and through their spines. "Go!"

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis had fallen asleep that night without an answer from the fox. When she awoke, all she heard was various screaming, and that she needed to get out. Without thinking much on it, she grabbed a hold of all of her things and began to run out of the room. She didn't check to see if the others were following, she was sure they'd get going in time. As she ran outside the rock illusion, she hesitated, looking back. She could hardly function having just woken up, but she was shaking out of fear.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance awoke to the screaming, quickly sitting up on her cot. "What? Huh?" She realized what was happening when the fox had stabbed two soldiers that had stormed into the room. She quickly gathered her bag, and tucked her robes under her arm and got ready to leave. She Saw Mortis had already taken off. "Guys lets get moving!" she yelled to the others. Her monkey jumped onto her shoulder as she got Moon to get going. "Come on Moon, we have to move now. Bad people are coming." she explained. She went along after Mortis to the exit. Once out she took a look around to make sure there wasn't an ambush or anything. However her nerves were so shaky it was hard to tell anything. Not to mention she was worried about the others.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid awoke just in time to hear the fox yell at him to get out. Mortis had hustled out first, with Constance behind her, also yelling at them to move. He quickly got out of bed, stumbling to the floor as he did. "******* mornings." He grabbed his bag and shoved Anon in it. Making his way towards the rear entrance, he wiped his face with his paw, trying to wake himself up further. Macid never liked mornings and always liked to sleep in. Being woken up in a matter such as this was irritating to say the least. When he made it to the rock entrance, he poked his head out and saw Mortis and Constance standing there. He climbed out and stretched his legs and arms, yawning as he did so, knowing that they would have to run soon.

[serpington]

max was awakened by the comotion, he quickly grabbed the clothes he assumed were for him on the end of the bed and grabbed ramsey. he was the last one to the exit and looked back at the fox thankfully then disapeared through the passage. he stoped just behind macid when he reached the other side, he waited for macid to move then slowly followed him outside. "looks like we can't even get a good nights sleep anymore."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

A voice came out from behind the group as they each were still looking at the secret passage, "Hurry up, kids! Before they see us here!" The rain was pouring on this moonless night, but since they were still fairly close to the city, it wouldn't be hard to spot them. Moon tugged on Mortis' pants, trying to get her to go towards the canvased carriage waiting for them.
