What is there to do around here?

Action : Everglade @ Night

[The dirt curls beneath his paws as the rich smells of the earth fill his nose. This is what it means to be alive. Four paws thunder against the earth as the large wolf goes running through the thick mass of trees. The moon hangs like a silver sliver in the night sky, the scene of colored darkness falling like a vail overhead as if painted perfectly into place. Toby knew he was safe from other wolves without the full moon casting its light over the city that sat in peaceful darkness. There were other things that lurked in the night, but nothing that Toby feared. He’s stared down terror in the past and knew its name. This world was simply a fake replica of his nightmares.

His path brought him to the edge of the forest. He knew of the barrier that kept them here and had no interest in testing its validity.

Toby takes the chance to walk through town, seeing it with the keen eyes of a wolf. There were smells he hadn’t picked up before and he knew that it wouldn’t be so strange for a 230 lb wolf to go trotting through town while the curfew was in effect; most likely no would see him.]


Action: Every City @ Any Bar

[It doesn’t matter what time of day it is or what city that he finds himself in; Toby gravitates towards bars like a moth to fire. It is a shame that he can’t get drunk but that doesn’t stop him from trying. He usually finds a seat where he can keep an eye on the door and then orders a beer. He doesn’t say much, but instead listens in on the conversations happening around him.

The part of Toby that stands out is his height. Even while sitting, he casts a powerful shadow. His expression is tranquil while his gaze reflects a comfortable well-worn sadness.]

[After a long day, what tasted best was a cold mug of ale at the Donner. It'd become a routine he very much enjoyed, but today something was new. The very large man at the bar, near Richard's own usual barstool, stood out in the crowd, and not only because of his size.

He nods to the bartender with a friendly smile as he approaches and the bartender begins to fill a mug without asking what Richard wanted. Clearly whatever it is, is the usual.

While he wait, Richard looks over to the larger man. There's something about him that suggests something's happened. Maybe not recently, but it's similar to Chase...anytime he was away from his family. Richard flashes this newcomer a friendly smile.

You don't look like you're from around here. [And he offers a hand.] I'm Richard Cypher. Welcome to Fayren.

[Richard nods, taking the hold of the handle of his own drink once the bartender delivers it, taking a sip before responding to Toby. The work he did was good, hard work, and the cool ale always started his muscles on the way to cooling.]

I live here, but I came from another world, through the Bay. [He looks back to Toby.] The same as you, I assume.

[ There is a catgirl walking along the avenue of town in the middle of the night, pushing a wheelbarrow covered with a straw mat. A sensitive nose might catch the scent of decay and death emanating from it.

She's skipping along and whistling a happy tune.

She sniffs as Toby nears.

Heya, sis! Fancying a walk?

Pretty much anything you can imagine.

Are you more of a pottery class kind of person, video arcade, fight club, clubbing?

[Even the smallest amount of curiosity was enough to get Richard talking. He was a social animal.]

Fayren is the most like my own world. [He shakes his head.] I don't like the noises, or the smells in any of the other cities. I prefer the woods.
stealinurdead: (creepy)

[personal profile] stealinurdead 2016-04-04 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm on the hunt for humans, of course!!

Recently dead ones, or imminently dead ones! Any human out at night in this town is probably one or the other!

There's nothing quite like a conversation with the near-death, hee!

[ She visibly shivers with delight. ]
stealinurdead: (skull)

[personal profile] stealinurdead 2016-04-04 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh uh uh!

[ She shoos him away from her wheelbarrow ]

That's for the furnace of former hell, not for curious cats!

[ If he wasn't gonna cooperate with her gentle shooing, she'd get more insistent by summoning some vengeful spirits, or just making a getaway. ]

[Cipher had chosen to take the form of Liam this night, as he had already taken the life of some poor 'innocent' creature earlier in the day - and it was certainly a killing that took place before the curfew came into effect, but hey, slip-ups can happen once in a while, right?

He had stopped in his tracks as he had approached a rickety old bridge extending over the water, glancing over his shoulder. His eyes had almost immediately fallen upon that wolf, his eyebrows lifting in curiosity. That was certainly no ordinary hound. By his side was a large, hyena-like creature, whose face began to peel back to reveal its skull when it laid eyes on the wolf. Cipher would order the creature down, his eyes peering in the wolf's direction.]


Well, are we having a hunt, or is it a stroll you're having on a night like this?

[Richard nods, expression earnest, as he takes a drink from his own ale before actually responding.]

I am, and I was in my own world as well. Well, I was. That's...a long story, though.

[He looks over to the larger man, suggesting he'd be perfectly willing to tell it if he wanted to hear it.]

What about you? What do you do?

Nothing? [Richard is pretty sure he couldn't just do nothing. If he did, well, things might creep up on him, the weight of his responsibility, the things Denna did to him, how much he wants Kahlan and can't have her. Doing things keeps his mind busy and productive; useful. If he didn't have that, then...

...well, it was best not to thing on that too much.
]

Where should I start? The Three Territories were divided before I was born, and I was stolen across the barrier into Westland when I was a baby, to hide me. I was a child of prophecy, if you put any stock in things like that.

[Richard took his usual seat at the bar, rolling his shoulder in a shrug.]

I don't know about a child of prophecy. I only believe in things I can see. I believe that Darken Rahl needs to be stopped. I believe the Sword of Truth can help with that. I believe I'm the Seeker, because the sword reacts to me.

[He shrugs.]

That was all in the prophecy, but that's the funny thing about prophecy. It's always written in such a vague way, a lot of things could fit a prophecy if you're already convinced of it.

[Richard chuckled at Toby's response before shaking his head.]

It's hardly common. There hasn't been a True Seeker for a thousand years. At least that's why they say. [He shrugs, looking down at his mug.] I've just never been someone who could just sit by, or to dwell on things I have no control over. You can look at a problem, or you can identify a resolution and figure out the best course of action to take you there. Focusing on the problem doesn't solve it.

[He looks over to Toby.] The creepy old man who used to live in the woods, and who everyone thought was crazy, turned out to be the Wizard of the First Order who stole me in the first place, and brought me to Westland. His name is Zeddicus Z'ul Zorander. [And he shrugs again.] He's just Zedd. And just because he's a powerful wizard, doesn't mean he isn't also a crazy old man. [And he shakes his head.] I miss him.

[Richard nods, taking another drink from his mug.] I'm sure everyone does.

[And he looks over at the question, then his eyes dart down to the shining silver hilt of the sword on his belt before looking back to Toby.]

The sword does several things. When wielded by the Seeker, it increases his strength and skill to that of several men. It can deflect magic. It never dulls.
