The Warped (2nd Party)

[serpington]

max lazily got up and drew Ramsey, walking over to the fire he stabed Ramsey into the ground and laid down next to him and the fire. "sounds like it's going to be a long day tomorrow, see you all in the morning." he laid there looking up at the stars quietly, thinking of what other forms Ramsey could have, and what he might have to do to acheive them. his mind started to drift over everything that had happened, the others, his old life, his past, the old man.....and finally his mind settled on one person, and with a small hidden smile he sliped off to sleep.

By the morning, Moon awoke and yawned, her voice no longer the high-pitched squeaky one that everyone had been used to. It was a little on the low side, not very, and not too loud, either. Over the night, her scales had all darkened, and at this point are almost all black, the tips of the scales still a dirty yellow. Her jowls have extended and her body had spurted in size like before, and was now twice the size of Mortis. Her fangs even went over her lower jaws. She got up, and the goo crumbled as she did, her wounds now fully healed.

When Moon got up, Mortis didn't wake. She fell backward onto the grass where Moon had been lying, still asleep. She had not actually fallen asleep until late in the night. That coupled with the times she had been up at night seemed to be catching up with her as heavily as she was sleeping. She shifted briefly, tucking her arm under her head to use as a pillow, not realizing that Moon was up and about.

Constance woke up to Moon's movement. She took a lazy look at her, seeing her difference in appearance but nothing registering. Her eyes remained half open as she sat up a little bit propped up on her elbows. She rested her head back down on her wolf for a moment before shooting up suddenly. "Moon?!" she said allowed, though barely above talking level. She quickly got up to examine her, walking a semi-circle around her. "Oh my God, Moon. You...Grew! Your wings..." she said grabbing one of her wings to examine it. "...Your teeth..." she said poking her protruding teeth. "Even your jaw size." she continued, grabbing her bottom jaw. "Your scales even changed colors! These must be your dragon scales." she said giving her a long pet from head to tail. She was pretty excited about her change, which was obvious if anyone was awake to watch her. A moment later Constance went to give Moon a hug. "Congratulations, girl! You're growing up!" She giggled happily as she clung to her neck.

Macid shuffled in his sleep as he tried to get comfortable again. Something felt wrong with his back so he reached behind to feel for Moon, who was not there. He blinked slowly, adjusting his eyes to the morning as he yawned loudly and stretched on the grass. He hadn't slept that good for as long as he can remember. He scratched his stomach, which growled back in hunger, as he slowly got to his feet. He looked around, half asleep, when he saw Moon. His eyes sprung open as he screamed at the top of his lungs and ran backwards, surprised at her new growth and color. He tripped over Mortis and fell forward, this time bracing his face with his arms and not hurting as much. He turned around on his back as he began to scoot away, but saw Constance hugging Moon. His brain quickly put 2 and 2 together and figured Moon must have grown again. His breathing slowed as he calmed down, clutching his chest. "Sorry. I just got surprised seeing her like that." He turned to Mortis. "Sorry Mortis, for running over you."

[serpington]

"how about me?" asked max waking up in time to hear macid apologise to mortis. he sleepily pushed macid off him and sat up rubbing his eyes. he looked over and froze seeing moon and constance "what is that thing? and why do i keep waking up when theres something that looks and or is life threatening?......." he asked macid quietly barely moving, this time not wanting to be the reason for another fight. at that moment he noticed constance and started getting confused "wait......why is constance hugging it?......"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Moon gave off a low, happy roar to acknowledge Constance, and again when she hugged her. She raised her wings to stretch them and brought them down slowly and used them to hug Constance back. However, it wasn't long before she felt smothered and pulled away from Constance. Right after she did, Filadius appeared, "Well, now. It seems that you were able to save her after all. And I see that she has finally reached her adolescent age, and... oh, dear." Before he could say much else, Moon locked the magic and Filadius disappeared, though no one else really would know since it's all in her subconscious that she blocks Filadius' transmissions.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis sleepily rubbed her head, sitting up. She didn't really know Macid had fallen over her, but she did know that she hurt. For a moment she looked around at the others, then Moon. Mortis yawned, then stood up, stretching, then it finally set in that Moon was bigger, which caused her to do a double take. She also heard Filadius until he was cut short. She shrugged, "Well that was short." She muttered walking over to Moon, smiling. "Man, he's not kidding, you grow fast, girl." In truth, she was excited about Moon having gotten bigger, but she attempted to hold it back since she noticed her pull away from Constance. Instead of hugging her, she merely ran her hand down Moon's side, petting her and checking her for the wounds she had the previous day. "Looks like you healed up alright, too. I was worried that goo wouldn't work." She said to Moon as she looked. Even though Mortis was somewhat coherent, she probably sounded as if she were in a haze from having just woken up. In fact, when she continued to expect Moon, her knees gave out and she flopped forward on the ground from exhaustion.

Constance smiled when Moon used her wings to hug her back. She stood up when Moon pulled out of her hug. "Kids these days..." she said jokingly to herself chuckling a bit. When Filadius popped out and mentioned she was an adolescent she had that feeling she was in the back of her head. However she was curious as to why he disappeared so quickly. However a pain in her foot snapped her away from her wandering mind. "Ow..." she thought. She sat back down, this time a few steps away from Moon. "Maybe I should take that pill...Hmm...Maybe I'll save it for walking. For now I should think of what to say to Macid."

[Ares the Ram]

Macid got up and slowly walked over to Moon. He noticed she pulled away from Constance and decided not to try and pet her, feeling that she didn't want to be petted at this time. When Filadius mentioned Adolescent age, he began to wonder just how big she would get. Already she was twice as tall as Mortis, her height could be a problem for the group stealth wise. He noticed Constance sit down and moved next to her. "Um, Constance?" As he spoke, he rubbed his neck and averted his eyes away from her in embarrassment. He didn't really know quite what to say to her, so he just said the first thing that came to his mind. "I'm sorry about, you know, about last night. I understand if you hate me now, but I just wanted to know that I didn't mean to hurt you."

[serpington]

max got up and grabbed Ramsey then walked over, still unsure about moon, and picked up mortis when he saw macid sit down next to constance, "you OK?" he looked over his shoulder at the two sitting down "come on, lets give them some privacy. you can come supervise." he carried mortis over to near where the behemoth was and sat her down against a tree before setting to work cutting open the behemoth. he worked quietly, ignoring the smells and guts that poured out when he cut it open and started to cut away the meat.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Moon spread her wings and took flight upwards as Max decided to slice up the behemoth from the day before. She had no problem with rotting meat, but she wanted to stretch out her wings and get used to her new body. Moon soared quickly through the air and let out a happy roar, though anyone who wasn't a dragon wouldn't know that.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis seemed insulted when Max picked her up and carried her, but she was too sleepy to argue, and it was apparent that she was going to be carried whether she liked it or not. When he sat her down, she brushed herself off. "I could have walked, you know. I mean, I know I'm tired, but I could have." She yawned, closing her eyes for a moment until the smell from the corpse caught her attention. "Is this thing even edible?" She asked. "I mean, what if it has like, I don't know, something bad for us in the meat. Also it's been sitting here for a while. Is it even okay for us to eat?" She was more or less thinking out loud at this point because she didn't really expect for Max to answer her.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance looked at Macid when he came over to her. She listened to him as he spoke about what happened the previous day. "It's fine, really. I don't hate you. Honestly. I...Kinda didn't know how to react myself...It was a little embarrassing for me, too." she explained. After that she extended her hand to him. "Help me up? I want to go get my bag. It's by the tree over there." she said, motioning to a tree a few yards away with her head. She smiled at him while she waited for his response, hopefully she would believe him.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid sighed contently at Constance's response. Knowing that she wasn't mad at him made him feel a whole lot better. He grabbed her hand and gently helped her up. He didn't let go at first, and stared into her eyes for a bit before coming back to reality. He coughed and quickly looked for the tree she mentioned as he stammered out an apology. "Sorry. You have nice eyes." He wasn't sure why, but he always liked people's eyes, Constance's were the most beautiful he'd ever seen. His hand was shaking as he led Constance slowly to the tree to get her bag. When they arrived, he bent down and picked it up. "Here you go Constance." He handed it to her, smiling sheepishly.
