Who: Anyone
When: Day 70, morning
Where: Anywhere
What: Look around! Run into each other! Get cleaned up!

[ So it's been a day since the HQ was moved, and everyone has no doubt been enjoying the sunshine and the lifting of that oppressive gloom. Some have even started to get things cleaned up again. Appropriate for chaos to be followed by order again, hm? Those who are interested in grabbing some cleaning supplies will notice that Eizon has actually generously set out some already by his shine, today.

For other people still exploring, some may notice that a lot of vines fell away when the HQ was uprooted, and people searching around outside will see that about where level 4 starts, some of the wall looks different--a weaker texture, actually more like concrete that was filled over something. There also seems to be remains of twisted metal scaffolding or railing in some places, all along two stone ledges that trace around the half of the HQ opposite the window side. Perhaps these were once balconies?

In any case, be careful while you're out there, it seems like a lot more Red Lizagons are around this high up in the canopy! Some of them even seem extra mad. Maybe the HQ squished some nests?]

[Doesn't say anything to that because the branches certainly aren't helping! The thought of setting this whole cluster of trees on fire is almost tempting.]

I wonder why it's so quiet... Everytime I've been out I've usually found something a long way back.

They might have seen that serious expression and scattered.

[Snorts and cuts down another branch, rubbing her forehead with the back of her other gauntlet.]

If only.

I suppose we wouldn't get bored if everything attacked.

No, but you know how hard it is to take the things here down, even in pairs. We wouldn't stand a chance against more than a handful.

We're not exactly burning branches behind us.

You think we should be?

It'd be interesting, but no. It means we can always run away with our tails between our legs.

Ah, good. I was hoping you weren't insane.

[Brief smile~]

[pfft]

You're hurting my feelings! Accusing me of things like mental stability. Next you'll be saying I have a healthy sense of self-preservation.

[with all the talking it's no wonder nature has drawn it's way to you, your voice carrying without the sounds of people around you to muffle your voice.

First all you notice is the slight ruffling of leaves around you, vines shifting in what could be a wind pattern but as the sound gets closer, the movement gets more direct, more purposeful.

Something is coming and it's large, but there is no indication as to what, just the continuous sounds of vines snapping and leaves moving]

[Her stance shifts into something more defensive as she looks around, Omni-tool brought up towards her chest ready to swing at anything that decides to jump out. All the noise everywhere is distracting and she can't pinpoint its direction so she glances quickly at Isabela, indicating with her hand to follow, starting to move forwards again, slower this time.]

[Drawing her daggers with a slight flourish, and creeping along behind her protagonist of the day.]

Sounds like we found a friend after all.

[it sounded so close, the cracking of branches accompanying all the other noises, it was all so loud-

and then it stopped- went nearly completely silent. The forest is so dense anything could be around you and you'd have no idea. Do you investigate, or wait for it to investigate you?]

[Nature needs to stop trolling because I am getting tired of its bullshit! Lets out a noise that's half a sigh and half a groan. But at least something's obviously here.]

Maybe it's passed us.

Sure, that would happen. You just go ahead and keep tromping.

[Trying to stealth and ninja up a few branches. Let the armored woman be the center of attention in the hopes of getting the drop on whatever it is. :3]

[it seems like one wish has been granted, the forest stays quiet

but really, when has Thusia flora and fauna ever been sweet?

All at once the brush next to Shepard explodes as a red blur bursts from it intent on knocking Shepard from the branch, from above you can see it's a tail, spiked and massive, it's as thick as a human body meaning the creature it's attached to must be equally as large.

A hiss comes from the brush, a large snout sticking through the leaves.

A lizagon, and it's angry, it's only from above you notice the crushed egg shells and what looks to be a nest]

[Bites back a yell as she jumps back away from it, her balance slipping as she teeters on the edge, automatically looking down and noticing the nest. Well, fuck. She manages, after windmilling her arms, to right herself, dashing towards the middle of the branch so it has a harder time of throwing her.

Her eyes are flicking between the Lizagon and trying to keep tabs on Isabela, keep it distracted in case she has something planned. With a yell she dashes towards it, arm coming up in preparation for an Omni-lowercut at the bloody thing.]

[Putting on a burst of speed, practically blurring as she launches herself down at the attacking reptile, trying to put her full weight and momentum into plunging daggers at the beast's torso.]

[Rogues do love their sneak attacks.]

[Shepards distraction does work, and it lures more of the beast out as it snaps and screams at her. It obviously thinks you killed it's young-

Oh how kind of you, Isabella, both daggers make contact but only one sticks, mangaing to get between the scales and yep, it's rearing up, wings flapping and body convulsing to get rid of you off it's back.

It's clawing at the ground, tail flipping onto itself to try and unseat you.

but didn't anyone tell you? Lizagons like to travel in packs and it's mate and only surviving young have heard it's call!]

[She glances to Isabela on its back and flashes what looks to be a grin as she charges at it, attempting to finish this one off before the others draw in, aiming to stab the dual and electrically charged blades under its chin. If it pierces or even snags, she'll twist and pull, the curved edges acting like a pair of hooks.]

[NO PIRATE DID NOT REALIZE ABOUT PACKS. But if it wants her off its back so bad, she'll oblige, rolling to one side and hanging on the dagger that penetrated, trying to see if she can make that wound any bigger on her way down.]

I don't think it likes me.

[That seems to infuriate it even more, and it twists around, biting into Isabella's arm and slinging her off of its back into Jane like a bowling ball.]

[You little shit, that sends her back along the branch and she lands on her backside with a thud, the Omni-tool vanishing to prevent Isabela from getting a nasty shock. She doesn't even think, just jumps to her feet, grabbing her hand and pulling her with her, trying to drag her along the branch to a safer place.]

[Owwwwwww! Trying to get back to her feet instead of just letting herself be dragged.]

Not exactly how I pictured jumping you.
