Re: Monster Fortress (IC Thread)

She nodded and walked up, putting her hands on his shoulders before stepping in to his hand and pushing up wards, grasping the tree up a head.

[Loki]

With a grunt, bracing himself against the tree, he raised his hands to lift her up, hopefuly making it easier for her to reach the branches.

[cocoaSmiles]

It helped slightly, she pushed up on her toe for exstra reach before grasping a branch and pulling her self up quickly, "Got it!" she called down to him.

[Loki]

Smiling up at her he stretched his back. "Goods! I'll try now!" Stepping away from the tree a bit he took a breath. Running forward a few steps he jumped and tried to grab the branch next to her.

[cocoaSmiles]

She pulled her self up to kneeling on the branch. watching him take a "leapa fait "

[Loki]

His fingers hook around the branch, just barely, and he braces his feeet against the trunk, walking up it until he can hook his leg over the branch. Swinging around and pulling himself up onto the branch, he smiles over at her.

[cocoaSmiles]

She smiled happily, and sat down properly and yawned, rubbing her head softly, "mm So we stay here for the dark?? " She wondered, not sure if she could sleep in the tree.

[Loki]

Shimmying along the branc he rests back against the trunk. "Yus. It seems like the best idea to be safe from the pretties in the dark."

[cocoaSmiles]

"Why, Why do we hide? Did the elders say to hide? That the dark bad? I bet even prettier pretties are out in dark." She suggested but leaned back on the trunk. Tho she wanted to just chat, but what about, they didn't know much about one another, or them selfs really...they hadn't been like this for a long time.

[Loki]

He chewed on his lip for a minute or two before answering. "The elders said... Dangerous pretties come out in the dark... Scary pretties... But they called them something else... I can't remember what." Looking down from his branch he frowns a bit. "We might get to see some from up here."

[cocoaSmiles]

She pulled her knees close, not wanting them to hang. "Bad Pretties.." She frowned slightly at him, hopping they didn't need to deal with anything big.. "We can see them from up here i guess." She twiddled her thumbs slightly, "Do, did you, i mean, you wouldn't have its a dumb question, never mind." She huffed and rested her head on her knees.

[Loki]

He lets his legs hang, swinging them gently. "We can see what the pretties do..." As she hesitated and stumbled over her words he leaned forward to pull a few leaafs from the branch, playing with him while he listened. "Did I what? Ask. I'm sure it's not stupid."

[cocoaSmiles]

"Some of us were born earlier then others..but when you close your eyes, do you ever see..something over you, and muffled sounds. then..then your name?" She asked her eyes avoiding him all together at this moment.

[Loki]

He starts pulling the leafs apart in his hands. "Shadows... Tallking... Yes, I remember. Elders spoke to me, said things I couldn't understand... And told me my name." Looking over at her he smiles. "I think... I think we're all the same... That we all had that happen..."

[cocoaSmiles]

"Ah." She nodded, picking bark off the branch under her feet as she gave a slight nod, "I guess we all are." She never thought of it like that, ever. She guessed they would all be a lot the same, they never did have the adult's around as the elder's called them... They all only had the elder's.

[Loki]

Leaning his head back he looked up at the branches above him. "But... Even being the same like that... We're still not the same... A lot stayed at the cave when we left... But we went out, and want to see the pretties and other things..."

[cocoaSmiles]

She gave him a weird look, "I went to beat up a stupid head who almost pushed me over, dummy" She huffed and looked away from him, stupid gob....kinda

[Loki]

He couldn't help giggling at that. "Well the stupid head is glad he did. He had fun today." Pulling a leg up onto the branch, wrapping an arm around it, he rests his chin on his knee.

[cocoaSmiles]

"Well, he better be." She chuckled and reached up, pulling a leaf off the tree to play with. "How did you know about pretties being yummy?" she asked.

[Loki]

Thinking about it, he wasn't sure. He'd been hungry, and they usually ate bugs in the cave, but he didn't want bugs any more. "I... Don't know... I just didn't want bugs anymore..."

[cocoaSmiles]

"Duh makes sense." She tosses the scraps of leafs up in to the air letting the peaces fall. she reached in to her pocket and pulled out the rabbit scull, checking it out.

[V.M.P.]

Bro arrives at the water spot, having been expertly lead, and inspects the water.

[BurdenKing]

The water seemed clean enough to bro, it had no odd smells or visual indicators. It merely seemed like water that one would find in a puddle

As Rita and the goblin male rest in the tree, and the sun was beginning to set, a couple goblins approached the pond. They were talking to one another, and had not noticed the two goblins in the trees yet.

DREAM SEQUENCE:

propping up from where they chose to sleep, Vike wiped the sweat of their brow and settled their heart. "What was that?" mumbled Vike as they contemplated why the dream felt so vivid. Vike looked towards the cave entranced to noticed that they weren't asleep for that long as the sun had not even completely set yet. brushing it of as a crazy dream Vike laid their head down to catch some rest as they planed to try big things tommorow.

[cocoaSmiles]

Rita reached over and smacked Grak in the side softly, eyes going from him down towards the new gob's that had shown up. What should they do? should they bother to talk to him, hunt them or let them be..
