The Invasion of Arias Chapter 4: Massacre

[TheBlindMime]

Hale saw the shock vargus showed with the reappearance of Aiera without her clothes. Hale merely laughed for a moment, "I'll go find her clothes, and don't worry about my brother. There is no need to hold Vargus' heritage from him. He's a light touch, I'll take care of it. And I'm not that hungry either, so feel free to take my share."

Before leaving the group Hale grabbed the white cloak that divined Vargus' position and draped it around the incsensed cat. He made his way towards the treeline a smile still entangled on his lips, "Welcome to the Ninth Special Ops, Vargus, you will have a hell of a time come first full moon."

After sitting and enjoying the meal for a while Aquila stood up and sighed regretfully. "I suppose we should get back to camp. We got what we set out for. The others will probably be worried we were out so late. Besides we have watch shifts to keep organized." Aquila turned into his golden eagle form and beat his wings quickly into the air. Flying gently back toward the dot of fire that signified his camp. "Might as well send up flares." He mused to himself.

OOC: oh yeah... forgot about first full moon *sheepish grin*

Tantalum sank into the ground again, and the dirt she had covered herself with sloughed off.

She rose in the form of the giant barn owl, shadowing Aquila at a more sedated pace, relishing in the darkness as her cloak. She landed before reaching camp, however, and changed back into human form before diving into the earth and swimming most of the way.

Unfortunately for Vargus, who had received surprise after nasty surprise, he received another one when the head of Tantalum popped up out of the ground at his feet. The surprised Vargus lost his seating balance from shock and fell onto his back.
"Oh hey, sorry about that. Ran out of breath," Tantalum grinned, not sorry at all as she paddled casually over to where her clothes were stored, her neck making ripples in the earth as she moved, partially out of the earth and partially in.

She slipped on her dress and adjusted it so that it felt comfortable over her slim body. Then she turned around and plopped herself onto the rim of the caravan, watching the others intently.

[Mintaro]

Aquila glided quietly through the night air enjoying the quite of the evening. Hearing the occasional sturring of creatures below. He noted a distinct lack of a certain owl and figured she must be up to another prank. He glided past the caravan and circled around until Tanta showed herself. He then landed softly on the far side of the large wooden wagon. Transforming back to a human form he then slipped into his cloathing. He walked up quietly behind Tanta and took her hand in his. "Follow me?" He asked quietly, as he pulled her hand off away from the others into the night.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

"Where are you leading me?" Tanta asked, bemused as she was led away. Her sandals padded quietly over the earth, the sound deadened by her affinity with the earth.

Aiera's reapperance reminded Juras of something as he skinned one of the rabbits. "Hey, has anyone seen Jo in a while?"

[Ryu Kurai]

Vargus slowly got back up, trying to hide the fact that his first instinct had been to move back enough to decapitate Tantalum as she came from the ground. "Oh, it's only you, miss. You startled me." He said, laughing a bit.

Karvan had followed the two back, and had set down his set of fillets. He was eyeing the fire somewhat, and had gestured towards the small, well cut pieces of meat and said "How many Karvan cook?"

Shirin's face was one of puzzlement. "I bet Jo's asleep in the caravan. Cats need a lot of sleep, ya know."

[pendejochy]

OOC: Who is Kurik?

{This is so stressful. I can't just sit here and stuff my face while that short fuse Bossy Bird could find out about Vargus and make me an undead puzzle again.}
Girito flew within seeing distance of the caravan and perched in a tree at the edge of the forest. I watched Aquilla run off again with his friend once again. {For such a blowhard, he sure is a slacker. I'd better whisper to Hale about telling Aquilla about the gnoll.}
"Hale, when are you planning to tell Aquilla about Vargus? If Aquilla tries to make another tornado, I want to have an earlier start than I did last time."

[Mintaro]

Aquila led her off into the forest, Then stopped her. Casting an air bubble around them both, he asked her quietly. "I need to speak with you about something important. Can you sink us below the earth so we can assure our privacy?"

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

"Let me reach outsides for a moment," she answered before touching the buble of air. Her hand passed through without much resistance, courtesy of Aquila's prowess with his element. She reached down and touched the earth. They sank under the waters without much resistance, but before they could bob back up again due to air being lighter than the 'water', she quickly removed her hand and the earth solidified around them again. Tantalum turned towards Aquila, surveying him with a sharp glance.

"Now what is so important that it needs to be told in private and not in front of our companions?"
