1/25

Ruben: *He had stretched himself out on his tummy along one of the lower branchesof a tree on the outskirts of the forest. * I spy, with my little eye, something beginning wiiiiith...T.*With a heavy sigh, his aqua eyes half heartedly roamed the greenery below him for the upteempthtime before muttering an irritated:* Trees. Loads of them. *Another sigh* I spy with my little eye,something beginning with T... Oh yay! Trees. Looooads of trees. Just loads of frikkin leaves andtrees and trees and leaves. Tcha... ...I shouldnt have thrown my PalmPilot into the ocean...

Mez-works: lepus-americanus: Locke: *He walks back over towards the forest,glancing down the way for any sight of anyone coming back yet from hunting, but nothing yet itseemed. He starts to pick up some branches he missed, looking back up for Logan, when he spotsRuben lounging up there.* ... Hey!cocowoushi: lepus-americanus Ruben: *He locked onto the source of the voice in aninstant and then grinned* I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with 'L'~** snagerdrahas left [timed out]** wonderwarthas left [timed out]Mez-works: lepus-americanus: Locke: *He did remember seeing him once, duringthe craziness of getting on the trucks. He probably doesn't look his best, not with half his shouldercovered in red "paint."* Who is your partner and what element do you use?Iad *plops down again. solitude, originally welcoming, but kind of frightening half

blind and in an exotic location.*** wonderwarthas joinedcocowoushi: lepus-americanus Ruben: *He pushed himself up to sitting so hestraddled the branch, his short legs swinging at the sides. He raised a brow at his odd introduction*Uh...hi to you too. Locke right?** lepus-americanushas left [connection closed]Mez-works: Locke: Yeah, yeah, that's me. *Normally he'd be his usual smily self, butthe arrival of their "guest" kind of put a damper on that.* Now answer me, I need you to get somework done.cocowoushi: Ruben: S'cuse me? *his legs stopped swinging and he made a smallfrown - he was never one who appreciated being told what to do* You need some work done? Do Ilook like your skivvy? No. No I don't.

Mez-works: Locke: *He's about THIS READY to leave everyone else to fend forthemself when Zee shows back up. He only had to keep Logan safe for his own sake, in the end. Hiseyes narrow.* Yeah, well, you best reconsider. The Blood demon who rescued us and is allowing us tostay here is expected a party for his generosity tonight. You know, the guy who has no problemscooking up humans for a snack?cocowoushi: Ruben: ... *he didn't move, apart from blinking a few times in suprise.He merely sat there, carefully looking into Locke's face for any trace of a joke and even then thatwasn't enough.* Is...that a joke?Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: And there a wind-demon just fell down right betweenlocke and Ruben, rolling of and digging his face into the hot sand. "....ugh.."SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: No. But you know what, Just go ahead and keepsitting on your ass-! I really don't care if- *AND SUDDENLY LEON. He blinks and takes a couple ofsteps back as he crashes into the sand.* Leon-?!Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: He was naked from the waaist up, his pants seemed tohave disintegrated by acid or something, thy looked like short trousers nowSpikeballX: cocowoushi Ruben: *He scowled at Locke* Yeah? Well I - *From his spotin the tree, he saw a blur of colour falling from the air to the right of him. It startled him and healmost lost his grip on the branch. It wasn't until he heard the 'THUD', his eyes widened as herecognised the fall-falling object now splatted on the ground as his friend* Leon?!Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: He got up slowly, rubbing his arm and looking up. "Theforest wants to hug you, don't let it do that. And don't let it spread fluids at you either - it hurts."

Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "Anyway - hey there, guys~"sarahbeara: [Clearly strolled along the beach, looking for the tidepools. Along theway, he sees a recruit sitting by herself. Approaching her, he called out,] "Pardon me, missy, butd'you know the direction t' the tidepools?"Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: SMIIIILE~SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: *DISAPROVING FROWN.* Do you need someone to

heal you? I think all the holy demons are out at the moment-RemixedMagic: Iad Jumps a little looking around "what? who? what pool?" squinting,trying to focuse on the person talking to her.** Nosebleed-chanhas joinedsarahbeara: Clearly. "Whoa whoa, easy noooow." [He holds up a hand,chuckling.] "Visiting session not open at this hour?"RemixedMagic: Iad stares at him a second "huh? oh no sorry, you just surprisedme...everything is fuzzy and bright. thought you where one of these odd trees" pats a palm tree nextto her. "i think its a tree"cocowoushi: SpikeballX Ruben: *he hugged the branch with his arms and legs andthrew his body weight to the side, slipping around to allow himself to hang from its underside. He thenreleased his leg-grip, dangling there by his hands for a moment before allowing himself to drop to the

forest floor. It was a fair fall, but he used a small amount of his wind ability to cushion his fall and helanded softly* Leon? *he took a few tentative steps forward, eyeing Leon's lack of clothing* Why haveyou been letting things spray their fluids on you? Thats...not good. *UNDERSTATEMENT*SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: *He glances at Ruben at the stir of wind. Oh, well thatexplains it. Great. He looks back down to Leon.* Leon, are you alright enough to help out withsomething or are you going to need to rest? Because we're kind of in deep shit at the moment.sarahbeara: Clearly. "Bingo. That's a tree all right." [He stops a couple of feetaway from the red-haired missus.] "Havin' migraines t'day?"Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "Cute jungle-demons - you know? Those things." Henodded approvingly at both of them. "They wrap their junk around you, then make you soft with theirfluids and then .... I dunno what happened then, it got really hot when Adele joined in~" He looked atLoche and tilted his head. "What's going on?"

SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: Our blood demon host is going to be coming by atsunset expected a party thrown in his honor. *He says, shortly.* Because he's willing to give us somesupplies and maybe let us past just this beach.RemixedMagic: "Migrains? those human headache things? I am recovering from thehorrible water plight. My fire isn't strong enough yet. So..why would you want to go to a horrible tidepool?"cocowoushi: SpikeballX Ruben: *he shuddered at what Leon said and wrinkled hisnose* I uh... *He stopped himself. No. Lets not go down that path.* Well just dont do...*He wavedhis hand about at Leon* ....whatever you did...again....uh....with those things ok?! Got it? Got it.Good. *he huffed a bit and turned his attention to Locke* Deep do-do huh? So you keep saying.** huinahas left [connection closed]Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "WHAT!?" He stood up, grabbed Locke's shoulders."Captain Ai is here!?" After all Aitouxelle was the only blood demon leon knew about...SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: *LOL GRABBED. He leans away slightly.* What?! No!The demon HERE! Probably the one that blasted the ship apart! Well, one of them. Didn't you go tothe feast a few days ago?cocowoushi: SpikeballX Ruben: *he put a hand on his friends shoulder and gave it alittle squeeze* No Leon. Captain Ai isnt here. Zasha stayed behind remember? Ai would not have lefthis side. *he gave him a weak smile and spoke to Locke* Feast? What frikkin feast?Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "Hm... I only got some leftovers - some good stuff -chickenmeat, I think..... and fruits and such." He was obviously saddened by the fact the captains


3/25

weren't here - Ai had been some kind of father-figure after all. "Hmm... party doesn't sound bad,tho.."sarahbeara: Clearly. "Just wanted t' look t' see if there's anything considerablyedible in there. And if not, well, the life in there should be intriguing enough. Read about them once;the images and notes about them seemed fascinating." [Without asking, he plops down next to theredhead, worn out from his unsuccessful wandering.]

SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: *He lifts his hands up in frustration. They were allgoing to die from their stupidity but he will NOT be one of them.* The one the day after we got herewhere he fed us and had a side of human slave steak on the side!*Yep, he was done. Sorry Nehnna,he tried. Everyone else here are morons. He pulls back from Leon's hands.* I'm not going to upsetthis guy. You can do what you want.SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: *He lifts his hands up in frustration. They were allgoing to die from their stupidity but he will NOT be one of them.* The one the day after we got herewhere he fed us and had a side of human slave steak on the side!*Yep, he was done. Sorry Nehnna,he tried. Everyone else here are morons. He pulls back from Leon's hands.* I'm not going to upsetthis guy. You can do what you want.RemixedMagic: Iad shrugged "So did you hear their's a party.. festival thing tonight?Wish i could see it but atleast i'm awake for the food this time."

SpikeballX: cocowoushi Ruben: HEY! *he pretty much shouted at him, his littletemper getting the best of him. He didnt like Lockes tone one bit.* I was OUT COLDfor, like, two daysor so when we first came here so no - sorrrrrry - I missed the frikkin fea- *His words seem to fall offthe face of the planet and he pauses, mouth agape for a while* Uh...w-wait did you say humanslave...*he swallowed hard* ...steak?sarahbeara: Clearly. "There is?" (perks up)Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: He let his tongue slide over his upper teeth-row as if hestill had the taste of it in his mouth. "Uhm.... human meat? Yeah - I think Harry told me that we atehuman there.... weird thought, isn't it? It was obviously chicken. At least it tasted like that... a littledifferent but I guess they have different chicken in this area.. whereeeeever we are~" He smiled atLocke. "So what exactly is this whole uproar about a party?""RemixedMagic: Iad nods "i didn't see it but i heard it. something about

appeasing this tribal leader dude with a festival and one of the girls gave him something that everyone else was disagreeing about and chaos ensued. yup."SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure he's short handed nowthanks to it. *He looks around, gathering up some stay branches in this little area before he looksready to move on.* He does not like humans and personally, I don't blame him! So go ahead and sityour ass right back up in that tree and wait for him to show up. I'm sure it'd be a laugh. *He glancesat Leon.* Nehnna thought it'd be smart to haggle with the "God of Blood and Conquest" and nowwe're all paying for it. Especially her.stray*** Awa303has left [connection closed]** lepus-americanushas left [timed out]Clearly. "Appeasin' . . . y'mean like tribute?" [By the way the female demonworded it, he didn't like the sound of it.] "Who was the girl?"sarahbeara:RemixedMagic: Iad "yeah, they are trying to get us goodies and more freedom. If theleader likes what he gets he'd grant it. And i believe i heard it as Nenna? nehnna? Leit did yellsomething about whoring her out angrily to one of the other males."** yellowflowerevyhas left [timed out]Ruben: *his gaze slid to Leon for a moment. Survival was a funny thing. He himselfwas not unused to eating things in order to survive, but human flesh had never been amongst them.He would have liked to perhaps have a word or two about this with Leon, just to make sure he didnt

start looking at him funny like all oh yum-yum, but Locke was stealing most of his attention rightnow by winding him up* I might just do that. Ill sit up there and watch the frikkin show! *heanswered childishly*cocowoushi: SpikeballX ^^^sarahbeara: Clearly. "Nehnna . . ." [He stared down at the sand.] "Not that I fullygrasp the concept of it, since the idea seems t' be first plugged by humans, but you're saying' that

Nehnna is 'selling' herself to the leader?"RemixedMagic: IAd "Basicly, what i gathered. But she's doing it for some reason. imissed how it happened though. But She said we all need to help by gathering wood or makingdecorations or hunting to prepair something fitting for a god. But i can't help. i can't even find a treewith branches for firewood!"Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "Hm.. sounds like Nehnna will have to get some thingssorted out then.... I'll not meddle in again with her as long as she wants to kill me that badly~" Helifted a hand casually. "So what are you planning to do?"sarahbeara: Clearly. "Oomph. Looks like we don't got a lotta time now, do we?"[He looks toward the ocean, glancing momentarily to see how far the sun was dropping.] "Mandatoryorder, eh?"SpikeballX: Mez-works: Locke: Fine. *He glances at Leon again. Oh right, he had

forgotten that Leon and Nehnna were not on good terms. Ugh, he was tired.* I don't know, it wasNehnna's idea. Getting wood for a big fire and food is I'm sure the best thing to start with. If you wantto help, do the latter. *And he starts to head back for the beach. So coco can take a shower beforeeveryone dies.*cocowoushi: SpikeballX Ruben: *he crossed his arms tightly across his chest andstood rooted at Leon's side.* Oh wow. That's Nehnna's plan? We're gonna have a beach side BBQ? Areyou frikkin kidding me?RemixedMagic IAd "uhm should be but alot of squabling about not going, not my god,he's an ass why give him a festival feast. Nehnna does need the help though." shrugingMez-works cocowoushi Leon: "I have no clue about what nehnna thinks - she's like ahuman - so damn confusing I cannot even tell~" he sighed, looking after Locke, then glancing atRuben. "As much as I want to help them, I'd rather... just chill out for a second, you're in?"

sarahbeara: Clearly. "Looks like it's their loss . . ." [He gets up, dusting the sandoff his butt.] "You seem keen on gettin' somethin' for this feast. Why don't I help ya? Not doin' much,myself."SpikeballX: Ruben: *he watched Locke traipse off, glaring at the back of his head fora while* Sure. I mean, this is the first time I've seen you since...Mez-works cocowoushi Leon: "Yeah... since we got saved from being experiments...."He gave the other a clap on the shoulder. "How are you?"** SpikeballXhas left [connection closed]RemixedMagic: Iad"well, i just want to do Something. Figured wood gathering wouldbe easy..till this smooth branch less tree's thwarted my attempts."** SpikeballXhas joinedsarahbeara: Clearly. "Well then, this 'smooth, branch-less tree' seems t' bemockin' ya. Let's have none of that, shall we?" [He chuckled and offered the other demon a hand,patting the tree with the other.] "M'sure there're at least loose palm fronds lying around. We can pickthose up instead."SpikeballX: Ruben: E-experiments? *he spluttered out suddenly* We were a shipmentof frikkin guinea pigs? *he looked absolutely disgusted and also felt rather annoyed that a certainsomeone hadn't told him this was the case. He stumbled a few tiny paces forward from the force ofLeon's clap and then smiled, albeit weakly, at his friend* I'm...alive. And glad that you are too.RemixedMagic: Iad *turned her head to face the voice seeing a hand outstretched.taking the hand to help her up* "I'd burn the tree and call it even but i don't have the energy to do

that."** ToastBustershas left [timed out]sarahbeara: Clearly. "Y' can burn it later when we've really run outta kindle stuff.Name's Clearly, by the way." [He takes the opportunity to shake her hand while still holding it.]RemixedMagic: Iad nods "I can do that, names Iad." shakes back. shaking hands aresilly. "uh thanks for helping me."

Mez-works: Leon: "Yeah.... if that ship went where it was supposed to... we'd ... be incages and...whatever they'd think of, I'm not sure...." He grinned widely suddenly, demonically. "Goodwe killed those guards before that happened...." His mental smile faded, then ge grinned gently. "Iknew we'd make it, buddy - gotto stay positive, yes?"sarahbeara: Clearly. "S'not a problem." [He smiled at Iad and lets go of her hand,resuming his path down the sandy beach.] "Phew, I could sure use an umbrella."RemixedMagic: IAd follows the fuzzy figure "why, is it gunna rain? i want one, i wanta huge one"** ToastBustershas joinedSpikeballX: Ruben: *His expression darkened as his memory recalled the sinking ofthe ship* ...there was...so, so much blood Leon. The bodies just...kept falling and... *he bit on hisbottom lip* ...the water. If it hadn't of been for my ability...I woulda drowned.

sarahbeara: Clearly. "Neeeh, it's just too hot for me. S'no breeze either t'day!What's holdin' it?" [He spreads out his arms as he talked. He flutters his ears and waved his hands tounsuccessfully fan himself.] "Hoo boy."Mez-works: Leon: "Oh...hey pal, it's alright.." He olaced his hand down on the other'sshoulder carefully and crouched down a little to see his eyes better. "Those bastards are gone, nothingwill drown here any time soon, alright?"** assbuttbatterieshas joineddrawingFrog: Locke: *He discovered where Nehnna had tucked herself away duringthis mess, walking over to her with several branches in his arms which still had their leaves attached.He stops right in front of her, peering down at her for a moment before dropping the branches downand sitting across from her.*RemixedMagic: Iad snickers "i like the heat. it's nice." looking around the ground

finding a fan like shaped palm tree leaf "will this do as an umbrella? maybe a bonnet?" putting it onher head an dwiggles her eyebrows.cocowoushi: Nehnna: *she was still weaving, but there were only a few flowers left.She said nothing, not looking at Locke until the last flower was tied off. When she raised her head, shestared at him blankly* I am sorry.drawingFrog: Locke: *He starts pulling the leaves off the wood, seperating themfrom small and large sizes.* So what's your plan?cocowoushi: Nehnna: What plan? *she dropped her gaze to the leaves, watchinghim work* I do what he asked and hope it's enough.SpikeballX: Ruben: *When Leon crouched to his level, he turned his head slightly sohis friend couldn't see his eyes. They would reveal just how much the event had affected him. He feltcertain he would be haunted by it for some time yet.* I know Leon. I know. *he answered quietly*Besides. It takes more than a little thing like not being able to swim to put Ruben Greene down. *he

joked lightly**The sun began to sink lower in the sky, nearly touching the top of the

mountain, the sky beginning to glow a rich gold as sunset approached*

drawingFrog: Locke: I mean what else needs to be done? What are you exactlyinvisioning happened to impress him? *He doesn't look up, just pulling them apart. Damnit Adele andAnelace, hurry up.* And what if it's not enough?** Mez-workshas left [connection closed]sarahbeara: Clearly. (looks over and laughs) "Looks good on you. Keep it with ya,

maybe they do make the best substitutes." [He came across a palm frond and picked it up, trying torest it over his head.] "Not bad."** lepus-americanushas joinedRemixedMagic: Iad "uh..huh everything dimmed, is it getting dark? or am i goingblind again" D: "i hope the feast is soon, i'm starving."cocowoushi: Nehnna: Locke, just...don't. Please. If it's not enough, well, hopefully

killing me will take the edge off his temper long enough to give you all some time to steel yourselves.*she sighs and gets up with her armload of leis* I have to get ready.drawingFrog: Locke: *He pauses as he peers up at her, his look still quite serious.*At least let me do most of the talking, got it?Bell-Cat: Adele: And so, the two emerged from the woods, hauling the moonshine backto camp. When they finally neared the fire pit, Adele released her end with a grunt and then set out tobegin arranging whatever food she could scrounge up from her camp's own supplies.cocowoushi: Nehnna: Talking will only make things worse now. Leave it be, Locke.sarahbeara: [Clearly looked up at the sky.] "Sun's a settin'. It'll be pitch blacksoon. Let's head back t' where it takes place an' pick up whatever we can find along the way. A goodthing it's gettin' dark too, it'll be much cooler~"drawingFrog: Locke: I don't think he has a very long attention span, Nehnna. This

"party" is going to be very small and very short by the looks of things.Mondefou.Anelace: She sat down her bag of supplies, she grabbed the blankets andpillows. "We should hide these for Nehnna before someone else sees them and takes them." She alsoeyed the moonshine carefully.Mondefou:** The-Almighty-Jhas joinedcocowoushi: Nehnna: *she nodded, not knowing what else she could possibly sayby this point* I'm sorry, Locke. But I need to go. *she wouldn't bother asking if he would come,because she didn't want to know*RemixedMagic: Iad "okay...good cause i'm also lost. People stopped making loudnoises and i think i wandered to far in the wrong direction."Bell-Cat: Adele: She shrugs. "It is almost after sunset anyways. He---he'll be here

soon. Probably," she mumbles, taking some of the tools and moving to hide them instead. Then shecomes back and stares blankly at the fire pit and can't help feeling a little sick. "Lighting this will be hard..."sarahbeara: Clearly. "Alrighty. Just listen for my voice, then." [He starts whistlingas he kept walking.]Mondefou: Bell-Cat: Locke: *He sighs and lets her go, quickly finishing what he canwith the leaves before grabbing everything back up. He wasn't going to piss off this guy personally ifhe could help it. He starts to head over to where the mass of branches and wood was piled on thebeach, spotting the two ladies.* Hey-! Did you get anything?** SpikeballXhas left [connection closed]RemixedMagic: Iad *makes sure she follows the fuzzy male whistling, other thengetting him confused with a tree wondering why he wouldnt take anymore or why he stopped moving.smart man*** Cinerioushas joinedMondefou: Anelace: She goes to put the blankets and pillows where Nehnna was staying."I'm sorry." she whispered before returning to move the barrels away from the fire. She looked atLocke. "We found this... tasty ldrink." She answered indicating the barrels.cocowoushi:Fable: *lounging about in his demon form, on a very large rock up high

on the beach, able to keep an eye on them all from a distance. The situation was getting

curiouser and curiouser*

cocowoushi: Bell-Cat: Adele: She frowns as Locke approaches, shaking her head. A

hand comes down to tap the lid of one of the barrels. "We didn't catch anything, no. We found manyof these barrels though. A...a tribute, maybe," she stuttered, clearly nervous.orz sorry Bell didn't see your post D:))Mondefou: Bell-Cat: Locke: *He lifts a brow and looks at the barrel. Where the fuckdid they find THAT? It had to belong to someone. And that someone was probably going to be pissed.Fuck, whatever, no time to worry about that right now.* It'd better be safe. *He points to it away the

fire pit.* Keep it there. If you have anything to dish it out with, find it. Bring whatever fish or food ifwe can use. I'll be right back.sarahbeara: Clearly. (skips along on the sand and spins around to see that Iadhad fallen behind) "Yoo-hoo! Gettin' tired already?"RemixedMagic: Iad Shr grumbles alittle "maybe. haven't eatin anything sincewe got here...that i remember. energy levels are low. We there yet?"

bold fail]Bell-Cat: cocowoushi: Adele: Frowning, she moved on to do as instructed, continuing togather whatever she could.sarahbeara: Clearly. "Only if y' keep movin'. C'mon, let's shorten the distance alil'~" (motions his hand)Mondefou: cocowoushi: Anelace: She ignored Locke. Already having moved them away

from the pit. He didn't need to make this whole thing worse. So Ane left to grab the food she had inher own shelter. Fruits, fish, and birds she had caught.Mondefou: Bell-Cat: Locke: *He turns and heads back to where Logan and he havebeen staying, grabbing the tarp that he was given. Well it was nice using it for one night. He throwsthe fruits that Logan collected eariler into it, peering around a bit for the human. If he was going toshow up, he had better stay silent. He grabs the two plates he had scored from the feast and headsback to the beach. Here, he puts the fruits on the smaller leaves he stripped off and laid the tarp outon the sand, putting the plates on it. It'll have to do.*drawingFrog: Anelace: She dropping off the food she left them all for a moment to see ifshe could find Nehnna for a moment.RemixedMagic: Iad sighs and picks up her pace "okay"Bell-Cat: Nehnna: *she was looking over the catches, thankful to Calx for his

efficiency. And he had managed to drain and save most of the blood, as she had asked. She chewedher thumb for a moment, before starting to pull her shirt off*cocowoushi: Adele: She actually manages to find a few cups she had snagged from thefeast as well, and moves to where Locke is, placing them by the plates. "...do you think we willmanage?" She speaks suddenly.drawingFrog: Anelace: Spotting Nehnna, she quickened her pace towards the demon andbefore she could take her shirt off, She was hugging her tightly.Bell-Cat: Nehnna: *she gasped a little when she was suddenly being hugged frombehind, taking a minute to register who it was. She relaxed and leaned her head back against Anelace,unsure of what to say*Mondefou:Locke: *He pauses as he's setting down the larger, palm leaves around tocircle the fire for whoever else was going to show up to look at Adele. Eeeh.* If everyone behaves,she might live. So be sure to behave, understand?sarahbeara: [Clearly waited until Iad was moderately closing in, then hecontinued on with his frond gathering and whistling. He picked up a coconut and tucked it under hisarm as well.]cocowoushi: Adele: Frowning, she glared. "If either of us should behave, I am thinkingit is you, considering you have already broken rules on the island." And then she glances at the fire pitanxiously.drawingFrog: Anelace: "You're foolish you know that?" She didn't let go. "I'd do anythingto be able to protect you from him..." She looked at Nehnna with sad eyes.

Mondefou: Locke: *Seriously? SERIOUSLY? What the HELL did he do?! He makes afrustrated sound and sets the rest of the leaves down.* Just do what I say. *He points to the largecollection of wood.* Light it. Hopefully it'll bring more people over.Bell-Cat: Nehnna: Stop, Anelace. Please. I know. It will be over soon. Just...let meget ready. *she needed some time alone before all of this*RemixedMagic: Iad picks random stuff up too. seashells crab shells, a stick, some

more leaves.Fable: *mumbling* What on earth or those fools up to?drawingFrog: Anelace: She looked away. "Alright... Just.. We want you to be safe..." Astupid thing for her to say but it was all Ane wanted of her friend. So she would let Nehnna leave to bealone.cocowoushi: Adele: "You don't need to order me," she huffed angrily, she moved awayfrom him and closer to the wood pile. It was really nerves--she didn't mean to be a jerk or maybe shedid, but regardless she felt a little guilty. She stands, only for a moment, to glance around at thesurroundings. Finally, she reared back, taking a large enough breath of air that it might haveresembled her choking, and then exhaling quickly--spreading flames onto the wood.sarahbeara, cocowoushi, Mondefou: [The two were getting closer to a camp,where Clearly saw some of the recruits seemingly setting up a fire pit.] "Guess we've arrived a lil'

early, Iad."RemixedMagic: Iad "Oh? well that's good! we can find a good spot to sit~"*aaaaand, as the sky shifted from gold, to blood red, and finally to a deep

violet, the sun finally disappeared behind the mountain*

cocowoushi: Mondefou sarahbeara RemixedMagic: Anelace: She returned back to theothers looking emotionlessly into the flames. The light that normally glowed in her tail was gone. Shewalked over to the barrells and cracked them open.Nehnna took a deep breath and surveyed the scene before her as the last of the sun

set behind the horizon. The bonfire roared in the center of the pit, its flames reaching up several feet

into the sky. Everything was setcrude piles of roasted meats, fish, and mollusks accompanied by

whatever fruits and roots they had been able to find and save from their own supplies. Plus the magic

moonshine. Flowers had been strewn among the food in an attempt at decoration, and large branches

had been staked in the ground to serve as torches. A ring about the fire had been cleared, andinvisible circle ringing the flames. Everybody was slowly settling themselves down outside this ring,

their chatter and the crackling of the fire carrying on the light sea breeze. She lifted two fingers to her

lips, letting loose a whistle that resounded across the beach. Those who would come, would come,

and the restthey didnt matter.

** prupelallitraitorhas left [timed out]** prupelallitraitorhas joinedLocke: *He lingers near the "seats of honor" which would be where the tarp on thesand was. He had to calm down, he was really fucking nervous. Not so much for Nehnna - her fatewas already decided. And everyone else who wouldn't show up. But he had to make sure he didn't slipup and get his own neck in trouble. He notices more people coming over, speaking up.* You mighthave heard that we're getting paid a visit by the Blood Demon whose allowing us to use this beachand this land. It'd be in everyone's best interest to be appreciative for not killing us all.Liet He stands some ways off, glaring at Locke. StaaaaaaaaareeeAdele: The lioness is also wandering around the same area as Locke, although herclothing was a little different this time. Her hands shook a little, nervous--and then she steeledherself. She wouldn't let them see her nerves. Nehnna had asked her to help--and she would bestrong for her. She doesn't say anything, but instead prowls around Locke, nodding her head.sarahbeara, cocowoushi, Mondefou, Bell-Cat: [Clearly tossed aside the collectedfronds in a pile and lightly rolled the coconut to where the food was. He looked around for any familiarfaces and a decent seat, preferably near the food. He'll decide whether he'll partake in whatever

festivity later.]She looked down at herself, adjusting the wreaths of flowers around her neck and

hips, careful not to smear the patterns painted on her body with blood from Calxs hunts. Nehnna

closed her eyes and felt her heart beat painfully in her ribcage as they all waited for their guest of

honor to arrive. There was one last preparation to be made, if she remembered the ceremonies of her

islanders correctly. Inspecting the nail on her index finger and satisfied with its point, Nehnna nicked a

vein in her wrist and pressed down on it, watching as the blood carefully welled up. Holding her armout over a small, roughly hewn stone bowl she had asked Calx to make for the occasion, she let the

blood drip in. It mixed with the blood already in there, drained from the carcasses before they were

cooked. She pressed her mouth to the cut and looked around for Adele, since the lioness had agreed

to stand by her through this.

The warmth in her belly felt better than the festivitiesaround her.cocowoushi: Mondefou Bell-Cat RemixedMagic Iad plops her findings down in a pilesomewhere and sits close to the fire "Do we have assigned seating?"Zee: *strolled out of the darkness of the jungle in full regalia again, obsidian

dagger at his hip, Eztli trailing a few feet behind him as he approached the bonfire, staying a bitoutside the circle and eyeing the assembly calmly*drawingFrog: Adele: After a few moments of watching people come to sit by the fire,she frowned and turned away from the group, beginning to seek out Nehnna. Her hands continued toshake. No, no, no, no.Locke: *DOES NOT EVEN SEE YOU, LIET. He sees Iad and Clearly come over andanswers.* Anywhere except closest to the head seats. *He had to keep those clear for any extraguests and himself. He notices a little too late that Zee was fast approaching and threw on a smile.*Ah, Good evening! Shall I show you to your spot of honor, Lord?Liet Now he's just going to glare at Zee. glaarreee. He's got that feeling that hewants to throw up. If he wasn't so hearty, he would.Black-Ratchet, Mondefou: Nehnna walked over to Adele calmly and held her wrist

out, wanting the fire demon to sear the small nick closed. She noticed Zee standing there, and shedipped her head in acknowledgement. And so it begins, she said under her breath before headingback to grab the bowl.Anelace: Seeing the demon made her sick, but the moonshine made it possible. Shelooked around at everyone not sitting yet.** Nyyrikkihas left [timed out]Clearly. "Hope not." [He heard something emerge from the jungle and tilted hishead toward the figure that stepped out. And what a disturbing-looking figure it was. The Haze satdown where he was, away from the fire and midway from the food. He looked over at the sun to seehow far it had gone down now.]Eztli: *peers around Zee carefully looking at their 'arrangements'. He frowned alittle* It is not bad...for something done so quickly? *he eyes the barrels* ..hm?Iad "Am i too close? i can't see well...."drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet: Adele: Frowning, she reaches forward and burns the cutclosed. Be fore Nehnna can walk away, she grabs her wrist and points. "Remember what I told you. Tomorrow."Mondefou: Nehnna nodded quickly and gently pried Adele's hand away, keeping hereyes on Zee. "I remember. Now let me go."Liet He sneaks his way over to stand by Clearly because Clearly is a good bro. He'snot talking though.remixedmagic,Toastbusters Kai: * walks towards Clearly and talks to him in ahushed tone* sooo do you know exactly why the hell we're having some sort of feast?

drawingFrog: Adele: She hesitantly lets go, and makes her way back to the fire pit, stillstanding a ways away though. She peers at all of the people present from afar--especially Zee.Anelace: She goes to set down away from where Zee was suppose to sit, near Iad andClearly.IAd plays with the fire, feeling better near the heat.wrath-kakerou: RemixedMagic Liet He takes a deep breath and bites his lip.

"Nehnna sold herself for something. God knows what."DrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice: Zee: *nods to Eztli* It seems theywish to make this show of appreciation a personal affair. This is more than acceptable. *glances at Locke, answering him in a friendlytone* Most gracious of you, but it is not your services I have requested. *turns his gleaming eyes toNehnna* You may begin serving me now, child.remixedmagic,Toastbusters Kai: Huh? She sold herself so we need to feast? Thatmakes no sense at all.Black-Ratchet: drawingFrog: Locke: *Ahaha shit. He bobs his head in acknowlementand gestures idly to the covered sand all the same before he goes to take a seat nearby the honoredspots, watching Nehnna closely now.*wrath-kakerou: [Clearly noticed Liet coming by. He was about to greet him whenanother voice greeted him, and turning around made him recognize Kai.] "Somethin' about that, yeah.

Basically, this is all a tribute t' appease the leader."((Black-Ratchet, Mondefou)) Nehnna nodded at Zee and went to retrieve the bowl.Steeling herself, she took a final deep breath and blocked out everything and everyone except Zee as

she stepped into the light of the fire. The firelight played over the geometric patterns drawn in blood

over her skin, and was reflected by the bands of dark, pearlescent scales across her back and

shoulders. She waited until the talking died down. Staring straight at him, she lifted the bowl in a

mock salute to Zee before tipping her head back and taking a swallow of the blood. Taking a step

towards the fire, she spilled the remainder of the blood into the flames and tossed the bowl away.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, she snapped her fingers once, which set off a series of

slow, rumbling beats in the air. Nehnna flicked a quick glance at Adele, checking to make sure the

other was ready before stepping into the invisible circle and raising her arms, beginning steps that she

remembered from a past long-gone as her heart drummed in her ears.

Eztli: *moves away from Zee, stepping closer to the barrels and eyeing that'tarp' on the ground as well. *remixedmagic,Toastbusters Kai: Oh, so she pissed him of? ...So now everyonehas to buy his good graces? *raises an eyebrow* So what, everyone has to cook him something anfan him with giant leaves or what.Blood-and-Spice: Locke: *He watched Nehnna do her ritual, glad that at least shehad SOME sort of plan. Some movement catches his attention though and he noticed Eztli comingcloser. He doesn't say anything to the human but doesn't really glare him down, just being aware ofhim.*wrath-kakerou, Toastbusters: Clearly."I'm not quite plannin' t' stick around for that. I just came to fillmyself." [He flattens back his ears as he unabashedly admits this.]drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet, Blood-and-Spice: Adele: The lioness is not far behind,stepping into the fire circle and beginning to move as well. Her movements are short and sporadic, butmore or less in sync with Nehnna's. She immediately begins to flick her wrists and pull bits and piecesaway from the fire, pulling them to herself and drawing intricate designs in the air as she spun andmoved--all the while humming a tune under her breath.wrath-kakerou: RemixedMagic Liet "I have no idea why we need to please him." Hesays the next part in a hushed voice, "If we worked together, we could probably kill him." He grumbles and watchesNehnna.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice: Zee: *waves dismissively atEztli* Go. I release you from your duties temporarily. Tonight, you may feast and revel as you see fit.

Is he that bad? Didhe do like something really bad or what? *frowns obvious to whatever it is that Nehnna's doing*

((Black-Ratchet, Mondefou)) The beats sped up, thundering over the sand as theycreated a deceptively simple rhythm. Nehnna thrust her hips and rolled her shoulders in time, twirlingaround the fire. She pushed thoughts of everyone and everything out of her mind, focusing on the feelof her muscles as they moved and breeze that was slowly starting to pick up around her. She dancedwith the flames as they taunted her, keeping her movements fluid as her feet glided over the sand.Her movements intensified, the winds picking up with each new thrust and spin and the fire spittingout against her. Her eyes were dark as she lost herself in the dance, holding a hint of the feral naturebeneath the skin.(( FF. Wrong chat ))Black-Ratchet, cocowoushi: Eztli: *gives a short nod to Zee and stands besidethe barrels. His eyes slowly went over to Locke who'd been staring at him and stared back*Fable: *sees them dancing around like madwomen* ......witchcraft?

wrath-kakerou: RemixedMagic Liet "If he's going to demand MommaNehnna's bodyas a reason to be nice to us, he's obviously not the person I want to put my trust in." He folds hisarms and glares, letting the light reflected off his glasses obscure his eyes.** KalamariMatrixhas left [connection closed]Blood-and-Spice: Locke: *He doesn't spare a mock smile for the human, but doesgesture to one of the seats nearby for him, and the food present.*drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet: Adele: She's seen that look in Nehnna's eyes. It's all toofamiliar, and maybe a little bit exciting. She only wishes she could become lost in it too--but heranxiety was too high. Growling, she swooped her arm, beginning to pull in discs of fire and send themhurtling into the sky, hoping Nehnna would catch the hint.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice: Zee: *watches the danceand the twirling flames, transfixed, like a cat, eyes darting back and forth from Nehnna to the fire*

cocowoushi: Eztli: *raises an eyebrow and wanders over, sitting close to lockbut as far from Zee as the situation allowed. He whispered. * You all managed to find quite afew...supplies in such short time....Black-Ratchet, Mondefou)) The beat grew louder, faster, echoing over the sound andwaves as she began to dance faster, staring at Zee every time she passed him. The dance called forNehnna to drag him in, to join with her, but she would not give him that unspoken honor. If hewanted to join, he would have to fight for his place. Seeing Adele spin the fire out, she called up a fewgusts, fighting the need to let them out with a full gale force. The fire began to spit and roar as thewinds picked up, an eerie screeching weaving darting and weaving between the rhythm.Blood-and-Spice: Locke: *A small smile comes to him, even it's more because he'snervous. He tries not to get distracted by the display.* It's a humble display but the best we couldmanage in the time. I was expecting something a bit more .. meaty from the forest.. but our groupuncovered some drink instead. Help yourself.Blood-And-Spice: cocowoushi: Anelace: Feeling brave she stood up, filling her stone bowlof moonshine she walked towards Eztli and Locke. "For you sir." She smiled faintly bowing her headand hiding any trace of malace inside of her and sitting down in an empty spot near them.Black-Ratchet: drawingFrog: Adele: She was actually doing the exactly opposite ofNehnna, trying to keep her mind on herself. Watching the flames span out and flicker, she growledagain--her tattoos beginning to glow a little as she spun and began tossing flames in Nehnna'sdirection--keeping them around her, but just barely touching.remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: wait... he wants her in what sense...in like he

He looked over at Anelace and put a hand up and waved it to pass it off*No. Thank you.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice, Bell-cat: Zee: *absentlytakes the bowl, barely taking his eyes off the display, and drinks deeply from the bowl, passing

Anelace the empty bowl and gesturing for another as he began to sway in time with the rythym of thedance*wrath-kakerou: RemixedMagic Liet "Probably both." He sulks and sits next toClearly. Guess who's a party pooper :CBlack-Ratchet, Mondefou)) Nehnna bared her teeth at Zee as she passed him. Yes,tonight, they were neither human nor demon, but akua--spirits in the flesh. It did not matter how thedance was performed, so long as it was. She aimed a blast of wind at the heart of the fire, watchingas it exploded against the night sky. Laughing, she felt herself rise with each flame and step.Iad *swayed to the sound of the beat, sorry sh ecouldn't see the display more clearly.hopefuly in the next day or two she could see better and not miss futur feasts display.Bell-Cat: Blood-and-Spice: Locke: *He glances up as Anelace came by, but doesn'tsay anything to her. Just gives her a look to be careful before returning his attention to Eztli.* How

long have you been with the Lord of Blood?remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: *blushes* uuuuuh. A-and that simply becauseshe offended him or something? ...I think I'll stay far from him. Through I doubt I have much to worryabout, him being interested in woman and all.black-ratchet: Anelace: She was surprised that he took it from her. Not wanting to upsethim she goes and refills the bowl bringing it back. She kneels down keeping her head low, whileoffering it to him.RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Liet He has to admit, Nehnna looks happy for once,and he's glad to see that. He's still glaring daggars at Locke and Zee and really anyone who happensto be in his line of sight. "Again, if all of us made a team effort..."Fable: *sees all the kneeling shit and all of this attention obviously directed atZee* BI Sonofabitch

drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet: Adele: She stops, echoing Nehnna's burst of air with herown wave of fire. It's angry and violent and collides with whatever explosion Nehnna had made,making it biggerand light up a large portion of the beach. Seconds later, she planted herself firmlyonto the ground and stopped for a moment--rearing back again and then lunging forward to releasethe most guttural roar she can manage in this state.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice, Bell-cat: Zee: *takes thenext offering and down it in the same manner, passing the bowl back and swaying a bit more slowlynow, eyes beginning to lose their focus after a pint of 180 moonshine, grinning hugely and nodding inapproval at the display of grace and power the two demons were creating*Black-Ratchet, Mondefou)) Amplifying the lioness' roar so it resounded throughoutthe beach and outlying forest, Nehnna let out her own howling shriek. The sounds intermingled, andas the cries died down, so did the beat. Slowing her steps, she sank to her knees, panting heavily.Within in a moment, she threw her head back and laughedit was a fierce joy that washed throughher, setting her pulse racing.IAd "MORE FIRE MORE!" claps loudlycocowoushi: Eztli: Over 500 years. When he was well.. respected like he shouldbe. Like this. *motions to the dance* though still nicer back then.wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: [Clearly cringed from the sounds and pressed hisears hard to his head, gritting his teeth and sharply coiling his tail in.]Black-Ratchet: drawingFrog: Adele: Her eyes that had been previously lit up from theroar died down again, and she stared quietly at Nehnna from through the fire.

Rememberwitchcraft*remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: Woah woah woah *turns around and notices that

Nehnna actually looks pretty happy.* Well she doesn't seem to be having a hard time. She actuallyseems pretty happy. And it might not be such a good idea to act to rashly, we are in apretty...complicated situation after all. *turns towards Clearly* Clearly? *frowns* What's wrong?RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Liet He pats Clearly's back, trying to comfort him alittle. "Probably the noise. It seems like a lot of demons don't like noise..." He sighs. "She's thehappiest I've seen her in a while. I just wish she didn't have to do this for someone else."drawingFrog: Blood-and-Spice: Locke: *Nehnna's laughing causes him to look backover to the display. His gaze lingers before turning back to Eztli.* That's a respectable time. And I'msure there is much merit to his title. I'm very curious about his history. This whole place's history.cocowoushi: Eztli:None of us were born here.black-ratchet: Anelace: Seeing him sway she wondered if he'd be too drunk to doanything if he had anymore. She slipped back to refill the bowl and in the same manner offered it back

to him.wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. "Yeah. S'just the noise." [He shuffles hisrump back and released his hands from his head, still frowning.]** Aibyouhas joinedDrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice, Bell-cat: Zee: *growls low inhis throat, the sound eventually erupting into gales of maniacal laughter, as the blood demon nodded,clapping slowly, and approvingly to Adele and Nehnna* Spectacular~ *he gratefully took the bowl anddown yet another bowl of the moonshine, passing back to Anelace* So lovely~ *he bowed low toNehnna and Adele*Blood-and-Spice: Locke: I see.. *He grins a bit now.* Then I assume that's wherethe "conquest" bit of it comes from? Though I have a hard time picturing much native humans livinghere. If the forest has been as dangerous as ever.

remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: Maybe we should take some food and go and geta bit further away from here so the noise won't be as loud?cocowoushi: Eztli: *stares at him like wtf you talkin' about boy*** assbuttbatterieshas left [timed out]wrath-kakerou: RemixedMagic Liet "I don't care, really.

My attempts to learn moreabout this place and the hosts have not been fruitful, so I was hoping to learn more tonight.Black-Ratchet, Mondefou: Nehnna: Her chest heaved as she sat up straighter,slowly rising as she watched Zee, the smile still on her face. But she was quickly coming down fromher high, and her joy was being replaced with a wary caution*Eztli: This place is a sacred place for demons. It is not a home for Humans.cocowoushi:Black-Ratchet: drawingFrog: Adele: She flushes a little, not exactly expecting toreceive such praise. She sends a strange glance to Nehnna, oh god what do I do, and then just simplyreturns his bow before silently going back to her task of throwing around fire.wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. (quietly) "It may be a good time soon. It'sdark enough, so perhaps we have a chance to sneak away in the shadows. But as much as the leaderseems focused right now, I'd rather not risk getting caught. Seems like an austere being, he is."Iad *Claps loudly, though she couldn't see much she really enjoyed the noises andbursts of fames*

"Oh MommaNehnna..."drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet: Adele: This was it. The part Nehnna had told her about,she assumed.

Clearly took this chance to surface his head, ears laying low, to peer athow far they were. Far enough. He climbed out of the shadows of the dark sand and pulled bothhumans out.] "Up we go!"sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli: *frowns at Iad* The island IS sacred. How manytimes do I have to say that?Black-Ratchet: Anelace: Steps forward with the bowl full of moonshine, offering it to him."My lord."

remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: *takes an other deep breath* Uh, I really shouldlearn to do some air bubbles or something. Would be pretty usefull, especially when using this sort oftransportation...or when we were submerged by the water...Blood-and-Spice: cocowoushi Iad *she grins* "oh more then once and possibly moreafter that."RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Liet He flops onto the ground and shakes there for afew minutes. What is this feeling in his stomach and what does it meaaaan? He opens his mouth tospeak, but begins to vomit violently on the sand for the first time in a very long time.Blood-and-Spice: sarahbeara: Locke: *He shoots a look at Iad, not that she couldreally make it out.* I'm sure if we show our gratitude to being here, we'll be able to explore forourselves. *LIES.*sarahbeara: Eztli: *shooting Iad a cold stare* ...

He raised an eyebrow and turned to see thetwo tag alongs in not so good conditions. especially Liet. * Clearly? what's all this?Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: Beofer I being, however--*she hesitates momentarilybefore holding out her wrist to him*--I do not know the customs of your people. But on my islands, itwas customary to make sacrifices to one's...god. *the word taste vile in her mouth, but she got it out*aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: *steps back from Liet and makes a face*ew, not cool...

Hi *waveswhile smilling.*cocowoushi, sarahbeara: Eztli: You are a guest here. Regardless.Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: [Clearly stared down at the vomiting Lietwith a slightly disturbed face. Swell. He didn't think the shadows would affect him that much. Pattinghis back with his tail while shoving sand on the bile with a careful foot, he looked up at hisapproaching partner and smiled.] "Oh, hello, London~ We were just havin' a a quick walk in theshadows, s'all."

wrath-kakerou: Aibyou RemixedMagic Liet He coughs up the rest of whatever is inhis mouth and rolls onto a non puke-y spot on the dirt. He's not going to talk because opening hismouth might unleash another sea of nasties.Blood-and-Spice: sarahbeara: Locke: No one is casting you out. Yet. *He says shortlyto Iad before looking back to Etzli, hoping to continue where they left off.* You were saying abouthuman names for places?

DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, Bell-cat: Zee: *takes the bowl gratefullyfrom Anelace, settling it in his lap and slowly drawing his obsidian dagger* Indeed. . . for now, this will suffice,child. *with no other preamble, he drives the point of the dagger down into her wrist, twisting the bladeslightly and letting Nehnna's blood run down her arm. He then leaned down and drank briefly from thewound, pulling away and leaving a clotted mark in her flesh, the bleeding stopped* Proceed.RemixedMagic, ToastBusters, Wrath-Kakerou London: *huffs a small half-grin from Kai'suncanny joy* Looks to me like you three were seeking some sort of refuge..*he glanced down at Liet*seeing as how Liet risked sickness and favoured the shadows over whatever else the other thing was.cocowoushi: Blood-and-Spice "cast me out?" *im sorry, you have been voted off theisland*"You can cast me to the volcano" |D "ok fine i'm done on that subject" *scowls and crosses herarms over her chest.*aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai:.... *feels bad for Liet* ... *wonders if he

could somehow make him feel better with his voices abilities... there is still a lot he does not knowabout what he can do with them.* Well since we couldn't really take some of the food at the banquet,we decided to skip along the shadow vortex *grin* ... Through... I think Liet was already feeling underthe weather...that or maybe it has to do with him being Holy... you know...being the oposite from theshadows and all... *shrugs*sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli: *his expression seems to soften suddenly on thegirl* There is a volcano here, but there are other demons who've made their homes there. One doesnot simply barge in on anothers home without first gaining their trust. *looks towards Locke* We arenot far from North america.Black-Ratchet: drawingFrog: Adele: She catches sight of them again, and her temperflares a little--showing as the flames in the fireplace suddenly shoot up and die back down again. Thenshe groaned. She was starting to feel a tad bit drained.

Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. "Oh, it was just some socializin'from yonder that dulled our interests over time." [He waved a hand before offering it to Liet.] "C'monup, Liet."Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *she hisses lightly but doesn't pull away until he'sfinished, at which point she slowly lowers her arm and nods* I will sing you the song of my island,then. *she takes a breath and starts slowly and softly, her voice rising and falling with the roll of thewords*Blood-and-Spice: sarahbeara: Locke: *Ah, the East. Maybe they WERE close toNehnna's islands after all. His attention is taken again when he hears Nehnna's sound of discomfort.Apparently he is still on edge despite trying to socialize.*wrath-kakerou: Aibyou RemixedMagic Liet He grumbles and takes his hand, gettingup to his feet. Wow his knees were suddenly really weak. "I'm surprised that happened, but yeah, wewere kinda...seeking refuge, in a way." He takes a deep breath.

Iwould have probably done the sameDrawingFrog, Mondefou, cocwoushi, Blood-and-spice, Bell-cat: Zee: *tilts his head,listening intently, oblivious to the others as he sipped from his bowl, eyes half-closed, trying to extractthe meaning of the song from Nehnna's voice*Blood-and-Spice: cocowoushi IAd *points to herself* "Me? nah, i'm not stupid.Stuborn yes, but not stupod. But I'd like to see what there can be done to further along this process ifpossible." thinks to herself. but not sure what.aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: Through I am kind of hungry...

She turns, and begins to twist some fire aroundNehnna and Zee, to the beat of her song.BLANK-faced*)orz))lol))RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: yes, demon fish will have to be outof the question. It should be simple to tell the difference though.Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *her voice trails off softly as she finishes, and she sighslongingly, brushing a finger across a few flower petals* Moloka'i...my island. It was, is, beautiful.Untouched by humans, for the most part. Your island reminds me of it, and I am grateful for the

comfort. It has been too long since I felt sand beneath my feet and tasted salt in the air.Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. "Recent friend of mine actuallymentioned there bein' some tidepools around 'ere. Chance there may be some oysters, too." [Herubbed his chin in thought.] "About cookin' them, I'm not sure for you."RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Aibyou Liet "There are squids." He frowns. "But theyseem to like...they seem to be touchy."** imaginarycolorhas left [timed out]aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: Well we could simply light a fire and cookthem on the fire.

Okay man, focus. He shakes his head andlooks back to Etzli. Where were they-? Oh, right. America. He smiles a little.* While I appreciate thisisland - This refuge - I think some of our recuits are not quite cut out for such an enviornment. Somewill probably be homesick for some amenities.

In time, I am certain you will love it as you did your own island. Do not despair. Tonight is an evening for celebration. *he continued to sway,as much from the moonshine as the effect of the song*RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Aibyou Liet "I'll go with London then." He shrugs.

"I've had enough seawater for a while..."sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli: *nods at her and gives her a small smile.* Ihope so. *looks back at Locke* No.Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *she shrugged, leaning toward the food to pluck a smallroasted bird from the pile. Twisting one of the wings off, she offered it to him with a small smile* Iunderstand, and I am grateful. Yes, tonight is a cause for celebration. I trust you enjoyed the dance.You must join in next time. *she would play the part, as much as she was squirming inside*aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: So London and Liet after the wood whileClearly and I fish? Okay, let's do this then! *giggles and runs off towards the water.*Blood-and-Spice: sarahbeara: Locke: *No? Hmm, okay interesting. He chuckles alittle.* And it would be Zi- Ah, Xi- Lord Blood's decision on who is allow to travel? And the councils?Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. "Alright, you two. Don't stray too

far now." [He said this with a bit of seriousness in his voice before taking off after Kai.]RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: *waves in acknowledgment toClearly and heads off in search of wood*Eztli: The council has agreed to keep you here. Out of trouble.cocowoushi:Aibyou: RemixedMagic wrath-kakerou Liet He follows after London and rubs hisstomach to get it to settle all the way. He has no idea what to say to London. Awkward silence ensues.drawingFrog: Black-Ratchet: Adele: Lookit that lion play with fire, so mach fun, and it'sso fun, that she in fact keeps doing it.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, bell-cat:Zee: *smiles softly, taking thewing and delicately sinking his teeth into it, picking the bones clean before answering* Your traditions arebeautiful and elegant. I look forward to showing you several ofmypeople's rituals, soon~

Blood-and-Spice: sarahbeara: Locke: *Ahahhhh- okay. Well he doesn't press it. Hejust nods in understanding and gestures again to the food that's here.* I appreciate the information.Like I said, we've all been a bit blind since the whole thing started. But help yourself.. I've beenkeeping you from.. enjoying the events.RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: *glances on Liet who seemed to becoming over the stomach ache* Feeling better? *some dried twigs for the fire catch his eye and hebends over to pick them up*** imaginarycolorhas joinedcocowoushi: Eztli: No thank you. I can prepare myself something bet- else....aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: *stops in front of the water and stares atit for a while, searching for fishes. * Hmmm I wonder if I could catch them using my wind abilities...Aibyou: RemixedMagic wrath-kakerou Liet "...Kind of." He half grimaces as hebends over to pick up a few twigs himself. "I forgot what being sick felt like, I guess it's a shock."cocowoushi: Blood-and-Spice "ha you can say that again, Blind, haaate it! Hey you*points to eztil..or in his direction* you travel out?"** PockiiChuuhas joinedAibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: [Clearly caught up to Kai and tried tosearch for some fish with him.] "Haha.

He looksover towards the fire, watching Adele working with her element before his gaze shifts back over forNehnna and Zee again. He's trying to wrack his brain for any more information he could pull out ofEztli, since he has no idea when the next time will be that he's able to ask. Might as well make gooduse of what Nehnna was giving them.*

sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli:Occasionally though rarer than some.Blood-and-Spice: cocowoushi IAd "Well, this is my new home, cause i amffffffffff ebeter]enter*]Blood-and-Spice: cocowoushi IAd "Well, this is my new home, cause i am NOT GOINGEVER back on a boat/ship or anyhting that floats and is near ro in water."RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: well the shadows don't tend toagree with a lot of people. You should be feeling better soon though, so long as you don't overexertyourself.aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: Well I usually fish with a sharpenedbranch or something. Or a fishing rod, but I have neither...and well I'm not too sure about going at itwith a knife... especially since if i do catch a demon one then I'll let it go... Well I can try this out.

*uses the wind to creat a wave and directs it toward the shore, letting the water fall on the sand andtrying to take out the fishes from the water, keeping them in the air.* ... does these look okay to you?...Aibyou: RemixedMagic wrath-kakerou Liet "I'll try..." He groans and rubs his head."It was a lot better than that damn party."Black-Ratchet: cocowoushi: drawingFrog: Adele: A quick disrupt in a stream of firealerts her that she is suddenly very hungry. So, as she circles the fire pit, she leans down and nabssomething from the general vicinity of Locke, and then she continues on her waaaaay.sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli: *chuckles a little at her* I can't blame you.However I think most fire demons can actually find home here, despite the water.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, bell-cat:Zee: *flops to the side, loungingnow, and patting the space in front of him, beckoning her to sit again, popping bits of meat into his

mouth, swallowing and licking his lips* You will understand, soon enough~RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: *frowned* I didn't even bother withthat nonsense. Last think I need right now is excessive noise.** Awa303has left [connection closed]Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: [Clearly walked to the floating fishes andobserved them with his night-clear vision.] "Think they all look fine. Fair sizes, no horns or spines orsharp, wiggly bits." [He quickly snatches two from the air, piercing through their skins with sharpclaws.]Blood-and-Spice: IAd "That is why i want to go to the volcano. If i have to fight ademon to be their so it may be. or be the demon runner of errands...eeeh i fit gets me in sure isuppose.

He sighs and twirls a stick in his hand. "Put on invisible headphones or pop into a vortexlike Clearly does, only less dizzying..."aibyou remixedmagic ToastBusters Kai: ... Will you eat them raw? * looks back atthe water and repeats the same process taking out a few others so that there would be enough for allof them, trowing out a fiew that are obviously demons back in the water* I think we have enough withthat.

sarahbeara, cocowoushi: Eztli: I am not entirely sure. Different demons work indifferent ways. And that you're bonded makes them more wary to trust you. Just be patient and don'tstart chaos. I t will effect more than you if you do.Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *she sits where he indicates, folding her legs under her andholding out the rest of the bird. She pouts slightly, wondering how far she can push the limit withhim* But now you have piqued my curiosity. I take it the feast you hosted was only the beginning,

then?** PockiiChuuhas left [timed out]Black-Ratchet, drawingFrog: Locke: *But he seems to be losing focus on other thingsat hand while he watches the "show." Locke you best hope Zee doesn't spot you gawking like you are.He'd really like for this to be over now, as much as he'd like to be in good favors with the BloodDemon. It was more like watching a demon play with its prey. Slowly.*** prupelallitraitorhas left [timed out]** prupelallitraitorhas joinedRemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: yes sadly not all have an outlet likethat. Sometimes you can only just physically distance yourself. *he picks up another handfull of treebranches* I think we have enough for a fire, we should head back and help them hunt.RemixedMagic: wrath-kakerou Aibyou Liet "Maybe I just need to learn to stop

caring." He frowns. The idea doesn't appeal to him, he lives way too close to his emotions. He nodsand follows London back to where Clearly dropped them off.Blood-and-Spice: IAd "Yes...i have to be fit first before i try and..do stuff." twirls ahand around to the stuff word. "but if you'll excuse me, i have a fire to hug." bowing her head a littleas she scoots back to the fire.sarahbeara: Eztli: *gives her a nod in goodbye*sarahbeara: Adele: She spots Iad, and begins the toss some fire in her direction with asmall smile, even if only to have it float around her.RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: *there wasn't much London couldoffer on the subject, He seemed to have abandoned outward emotions long ago. Now back with theother two he goes to help them in hunting the shellfish* What have you two gotten so far?DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, bell-cat:Zee: *wraps an arm around her

waist again, hand slipping under the flower garland on her hips, nails lightly raking over her thigh ashe takes the bird, picking at it slowly* Oh yes, child . . . but I must say. Your results may not have been spectacular, but your effort has beenexemplary. Your people will recieve the aid you requested. And should you be . . . dazzled by my people's rituals, even more of my home will be yours to share~

Mondefou: IAd *inthralled to see and feel of the fire she catches it but the flameweakens. Iad frowns a little, the damned water really did a number on her energy.Aibyou, wrath-kakerou, ToastBusters: Clearly. "Factly, I wouldn't mind. I don'treally like cooked meat that much." [He repeats the process of selecting enough fish by piercing theirskins and dropping them on the sand.] "Hmm. Think we oughtta maybe carry these somehow?"sarahbeara: Black-Ratchet: Adele: She's only half paying attention to theirconversation now, but she catches small snippets of it and grumbles under her breath. Somethingabout finding a certain lumbering demon and breaking his arms or something other other.^^Then, she begins to throw more fire to Iad.hit enter too soon))Mondefou: IAd *keeps up with catching them, she can be blind all the way and stillsense fire to catch. This becoming a fun game and rejuvenating excersize.*Aibyou: wrath-kakerou RemixedMagic Liet He stares at what Clearly and Kai aredoing.

He didn'twant to be around when Zee got too excited. *Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *she looks down at his hand on her and licks her lip again,flicking a quick glance and a small smile. It was worth a shot. Not like she expected to survive this* Thenight is still young, you know. But I am...happy you are pleased.

RemixedMagic, Wrath-Kakerou, ToastBusters London: ah, yes that looks fine. I'll go startthe fire then.sarahbeara: Black-Ratchet: Adele: About ready for a break, considering Zee seemspretty distracted. She plops into the sand next to Iad and lights a flame in her hand, passing it off toher.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, bell-cat:Zee: *grins, faaar to wide to bepleasant, and strokes her thigh again* The night is indeed young. . . shall we retire for now? You have what you requested. . . it is time for me toclaim the rest of my tribute.

Mondefou: IAd *takes the flame and concentrates on the air around it, raising thetemperature. the air around the little flame pops and crackes before the flame spouts up then fizzlesout.* "So Adele, o found out there's a volcano here" smiles over at the fellow fire demon.

Black-Ratchet: Nehnna: *words stick in her throat, that look on his face none toopleasant.

"There is...? Where, in the jungle?" she wonders. Hereyes follow Nehnna and Zee, however, picking up on the sudden tenseness.Anelace: That was it. She moved away unable to stand it anymore. She grabbedsomething to put into her stomach and went back to the moonshine.DrawingFrog, Mondefou, Blood-and-spice, bell-cat:Zee: *slowly rises and stretches,toned muscles flexing as he does, before reaching down, offering her his hand, the gesture kindenough, but his eyes as cold as ice* Then come with me, child.
