Forest of Wonder

No you're fine!

[AceDavross]

(Hm...)

Ace smirked slightly behind the raised collar of his cloak. Light put up quite the admirable effort, especially given that none of the other more-than-capable people present noticed, but in his haste, he didn't take into account the fact that the visually impaired always had the rest of their senses heightened exponentially, meaning that eventually, Light was doomed to this Ray character's discovery regardless.

Besides, it's not like Ace was in the habit of carrying much on him anyway.

"okay, okay you finally caught me" light finally said "listen, i just wanted to sell your weapons so i can buy food for my family"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray snarled, held the horrific expression for a moment, and the laughed. He laughed hard, like he heard a very hilarious joke. Ray smiled, chuckling between clenched teeth. He leaned towards Lightstone, and began gently nipping his ear. Suddenly, Ray bit into Lightstone's ear flesh. He held there a moment, before leaning away, licking his blood-stained teeth. "Valentine gave you a chance, now I have too." He released his grip on the fox, wiping his chin. He grabbed up his cloak, and continued on his way.

Light walked back to his den to get to the other camp

[Rayleonarde]

As Ray re-entered the camp, his expression changed. Gone was the vile, malicious grin he wore. In it's place, confused befuddlement. Ray looked around quickly, and spoke out to Valentine. "W-Wha...What happened? What am I carrying? V-Valentine?" He dropped the makeshift sack of weapons, and approached slowly. "D-Did I have a-an episode again?" Ray knelt before his sister, both fists planted in the earth. "I'm sorry."


Valentine patted her brother's head reassuringly. "It's fine, Ray. I know what you suffer with." She sighed, and helped her blind brother return the weapons to their owners.
I'll have to keep an eye on the fox-thief.  Valentine thought. If Ray's cursed him...

[Hunhow]

Zane only watched, utterly lost with what was going on

[lightstone]

as Light walked a few meters he felt something and the father he walked the worse it got so he decided to walk back to the pack "Ray! What have you done to me!"

[Ara Av-Toa]

The eagle watched it all happen and finally spoke. "You're a psycho, Ray."

[Rayleonarde]

Valentine shook her head. "He's not a psychopath. The blood of beast-kin runs through his veins. His episodes hit hard and fast; we are lucky to be alive."


Ray stood up as Light called to him. "N-Nothing!"

Slapping her brother, Valentine shouted. "You bit him, Ray!" She sighed, and approached Lightstone. "You'll be fine, I'm sure. If the curse was transmittable by bite, Aldern would already have fallen." The she-raccoon offered Lightstone a smile, along with a coarse linen bandage.

[Ara Av-Toa]

The eagle could be heard muttering to himself: "So he's some sort of werewolf. Except that bite thingy. Odd."

[Fuzzpaws]

finally gets up from my spot near the edge of the camp, clears my throat, and pads slowly towards the fire. As I advance my nose goes into overdrive trying to figure out the scents..

Valentine and Ray have similar, though specific racoon-ish scents, but there is something more, something I haven't scented before.

Finally, from a few feet away I speak  "Now that all the excitement seems to be over I felt I should introduce myself... I am Naake ni, a traveler, student of the world. I have heard stories of the dangers of these parts, adn wondered if any were interested in traveling together for a while?"

[Hunhow]

(Merry Christmas everyone!)


Zane silently moved up next to Ray and Valentine

[Aconitum]

Zambie watched the group with a critical eye, a small smile spreading across her face. She sauntered up beside Valentine, squeezing between her and Ray, and bumped the raccoon lightly with her shoulder. “You lot are fairly new to each other?” The tone used was judgmental, not genuine curiosity. “I’d be careful who you choose to let soak up your company, m’lady.” Zambie cackled then like an evil witch. “Lest you accidentally let a bad apple get too close for comfort.”

Valentine nodded. "Sound advice, Z-Zambie." As Ray wandered towards Naake no, Valentine rubbed the shoulder Zambie had bumped. Not that it hurt. "B-But, even bad apples have their use."


Ray sniffed the air, and smiled at Naake ni. "You smell of more than you appear to be, traveler."
