The Alima (IC)

Tiresias narrowed his eyes, things were getting quite out of hand. He watched as Romanaci flew into a tree, he wasn't sure if she'd be a threat but, he doubted it. She was busy with a.. bigger problem. It had never occurred to him to find others like him. Though, it did bring comfort to know he wasn't alone. His stark white appearance hadn't seem to catch anyone's eye, not that it mattered. In an odd twist of his personality, he left his own branched shelter to land beside her. If this tiger wanted to attack her, well, it wouldn't be pretty, he'd have to try and keep her from talking herself to her own death. "You really shouldn't defend against something that isn't threatening you, it just causes more problems than necessary."

[They're both having bold, I don't think it matters.]

Leid took a step back and sighed, he had gotten caught up in the moment.. He looked at the others. "Well, you're obviously not. We were brought here for a reason,  let's find out what it was.. It better be important though, I don't think any of us are getting back home." Leid looked at the pedestals, overgrown and reclaimed by nature.

Alice morphed back into her own self. one side of her spaghetti strap dress fell down, again and she didn't pay any mind to it just stared at the others with wide blue eyes and light pink hair in her face. Blowing her hair out of her face she smiled at them. "Great! So I'm not the only Alima! Awesome well nice to meet you all I'm Alice what are your names?" She said pulling up her dress strap to the loose article of clothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vanessa, still in Serval form clawed her way down the tree and transformed herself back into her normal little nine year old self. Her blonde pigtails were a little loose so she pulled them and then brushed some twigs out of the back of her hair, which wasn't pulled back into a pigtail. She blinked brown eyes and hugged her stuffed bunny as she stared at everyone. "I-I'm Vanessa.." She said timidly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tobi slowly hopped down from the cat carrier and turned back into herself, headphones hanging around her neck and her long bright pink hair blew in the slight breeze. She stood next to Mochi and looked at Alice and when Vanessa came down from the tree she smiled and looked at how adorable she was. "I'm Tobi nice to meet you all." She said looking at everyone else.

Christopher watched as the owl flew into a tree. Did she think just because he was a tiger, he would shred anything in his path? He turned into his human form. He looked at the others. "So... Does anyone know why we're here?" he asked.

OOC: Dis color is better.

"Allanah Marie Oakley, thank you very much." She shot a cold stare around the clearing, changing back into her human self. "As for why we're here....how would I know? Sure, I'm technically a magical being, but I'm not telepathic!" She rolled her eyes.

(OOC: Has everyone who's signed up replied yet?)

Citlali took a couple of steps back, both surprised and slightly scared. All her life she thought that none but her could shift into an animal, that she was the only one…so the revelation in front of her was clearly shocking and she was having a really hard time trying to take this bomb of information in and accepting it as an actual thing.

She was wondering why they all were brought here, and how, but she couldn’t find the words to ask. She was clearly relieved when someone else managed to ask the same question that had been roaming around her head and other put an end to the battle that was about to break out. She wasn’t of the fighting type, she never had needed to be it even in her animal form, as the sound of her rattle would be more than enough to make most creatures turn right around and leave. She had a powerful venomous bite, but she could happily say that she never had needed to use it so far.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lance got back on his sitting position as he looked at the animals yell at each other and apparently about to go in an all-out battle against each other with bored eyes. Just what he needed, a bunch of Shoot first, ask questions later kind of crazed people…just his stupid luck. Yes, he was just as surprised as everyone else to find out that he wasn’t the only Alima in the world, but if you thought about it carefully, it kind of made sense? It was like Earth probably not being the only planet with life in the whole universe, which would be almost impossible taking in consideration the massive size of it.

“We should try to find out why we are here instead of fighting over stupid things like this then, we are only losing time like a bunch of idiots right now and I don’t think that killing each other would help much in our situation” His voice was just as bored as his eyes, hoping that they would listen to him and stop their pointless discussion at once.

Christopher turned to Allanah. "I was just asking." he said. He looked around. "There must be some job for us, that only the Alima can do." he said.

"Meh, probably," Allanah replied, disinterested. She walked over to the stone pedestals, examining them.

(OOC: Just waiting on IceStorm now)

OOC: My last post till Ice posts

IC: Alice came over and looked. "Does anybody have any idea on what we should do?" She said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vanessa spoke up. "M-maybe we should look around and see if we c-can find a place to shelter for the night and figure it out tomorrow m-morning?" She suggested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tobi thought for a moment. "Your right Vanessa we should do that. I came from Japan so I have some useful foods and stuff we could use. We just need a fire and I've got my big cooking pot and like 10 packages of ramen noodles if you guys are hungry I can make some. Each package feeds like four people." She said adjusting her skirt.

Christopher stood up. "That's a good idea. I can make a fire. I live in a cabin in another forest." he said. He walked away, no too far. He came back with firewood. He set it down. He also carried rocks that now surrounded the wood. He was able to make a small flame with different plants. Soon, it was a campfire.

Alice nodded and looked for something over by the river to see if anything was useful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vanessa followed to look for something useful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tobi nodded and took her suitcase out from under Mochi's cat carrier. Rummaging around for her cooking pot and ramen her sketch pad fell out and landed open on a drawing of a little girl on one page and a fox on the other.

Drawings:

Ramonaci got excited by the minute "I will cook!" she said before opening her backpack and pulled out some plastic forks

~~~

Jamie wandered away to find some berries.

Tobi glanced at Ramonaci. "Er if you don't mind I'd like to cook. I have something special I add to these noodles when I make them. I picked up a few tricks from my parents cook books and from working at restaurants." She replied. She didn't notice her sketch book was open the entire time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alice came back with a bunch of long sticks tucked under her arm. She walked over to Christopher and started to break the sticks into smaller ones for the fire. "H-here.." She said and laid them down in the middle of the fire pit that Christopher had made. "Is there a specific way you want them" She asked looking at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vanessa came over with some rocks. "H-here maybe you c-could use this for the f-fire..?" She said although it sounded more like a question. She turned and walked over to a tree and sat down hugging her stuffed bunny underneath the tree.

Tiresias watched the other's before gliding down from the tree. "Shouldn't we scout the area first? There might be something better around here." He landed on one of the stone pedestals. "If we're lucky, a cave or something." The Paragon morphed into his human form again and moved his hair from his eyes.

Leid morphed as well, looking up at the sky. Hopefully no bad weather rolled in... He went off to find more firewood, they'd need it.

(Who's ready for prophecy-mission-thing time?)

Without any warning, a chilling wind swept the forest. It seemed to pass through the branches and anything that stood in the way of its target - the Alima. It's wooshing slowly morphed into a voice, one that sounded raspy and frail. "We.....we are dying. You....you all....we never wanted you all to meet....but.....times are desperate. The.....Celi......they have taken the Artifacts. Without it.......we will all die. All of you, too. They.....have scattered them.....the Artifacts.....across dimensions. We are too...weak to chase them........" The Alinacis broke off, and a small glowing orb appeared floating in the middle of the four pedestals, flickering like firelight and changing color. "Use it to chase them.....the Celi. Bring the Artifacts back and put them on the pedestals......the Flute, the Cup, the Scroll, the Blade. All of our futures.....it rests in your hands."

Christopher turned around at the wind. His eyes widened hearing that the Alinacis and the Alima could die. "How can we find out where the artifacts are?" he asked, in a worried tone.
