🌙 SECOND MOON | [VIDEO/ACTION]

[tsukihito]

[All this talk about the Everglades as of late had spurned the fox's interest in this gloomy region.

He arrived here by foot after sundown and found himself already longing for the gentle forests of Fayren. The Everglades is a land cursed by darkness and forged by magic. The oppressive fog that chokes the region is almost too thick for even his eyes to see. It's a sinister place that looks only vaguely similar to that of fairer Attleton but not by much. The foulness of this city honestly doesn't bode well for anything remotely human.

Tsukuyomi honestly looks out of place as he meanders along the street immaculate in white with his black sword at hand. He had no other reason to come here other than to ease his nagging curiosity. He caught a glimpse of people here and there but most where quiet hesitant to converse with an outsider. The ominous flickering of the nearby street lamps left little to be desired by anyone visiting this ghostly town.

Finally reaching a landmark in the form of a grand manor obstructed with ivy, the fox deity pauses as he pulls out his phone to record his adventure thus far.]

So this is the Everglades?

[He questions as he glances down at the cracked screen of his phone. In the upper corner of the screen there's easy to see that glass there is chipped thanks to Tsukuyomi's carelessness.]

Not much to look at in the terms of beauty but certainly a rather interesting abode. Quite humble in a sense but still quite sinist---

[The loud cawing of a crow nearby caused him to jump a little. It seems that even a former deity like him can get a tad anxious.]

H-Hold your tongues. None of you witnessed that.

Action

[nofortunateone]

[This is a night where Toby's out walking the streets. He isn't bothered or spooked by the dark, there are honestly few things that scare him and none of them live in Everglade.

His ears catch the stray voice, the crow and then the nervous change in tone. He decides to walk towards it continuing at a leisurely pace. His hands are pushed into the pockets of his leather jacket, his eyebrow rising when he sees the man on the streets. He smells different but Toby is getting used to that now.]

You're a little to skittish to be out this late.

[tsukihito]

[A little too skittish and a little too dainty for this nonsense.

Tsukuyomi glances over his shoulders and gives the tall one a slight huff. These humans love to presume, don't they? Surely the other realizes that he isn't some mundane human just by his ears alone. Not too many people are parading around in the Everglade with fox ears.

That much is absolutely certain considering kitsunes are rarity.]

Skittish? Me? Oh, perish the thought! I'm merely...cautious.

[nofortunateone]

[Toby's smelled another little fox deity before and the similarities in the scent aren't lost on him. Not saying anything is his way of being polite, after all, Toby isn't human either.

He raises an eyebrow at the man before rolling his shoulders in a noncommittal shrug. He really doesn't care what other people do.]

Here I thought fox's were cunning.

[02crusnikabel]

[After Abel closed his store, and make sure Alessandro is safe in his home, he head straight to Everglade to go bounty hunting to make extra money. It's Friday night, so it's one of those nights where he hardly sleep. And if he's going to crash in Sataurday, he'll just open the next day on Sunday. He's pretty flexible with his schedule.

Abel arrived in Everglade when it's pitch dark, even at 9pm. Since he closed off his phone, he won't be checking the network. The reason why, was because whenever he raised his own energy levels, the nanomachines within his bloodstream and it's bioelectric waves will effect any electronics that is on, causing static, distortion, or causing his phone to drain and shut down.

He only raised his energy levels to 10% for increased speed and strength only, no transformation, therefore he still looks normal, though his long, silver hair might float up a bit. While he cannot be sensed by humans, it can be sensed faintly by supernatural beings, but there are many powerful supernatural beings in this town, that they would thought of Abel as a weaker being.

Anyways, the crows there were cawing? They sense something is up. They make a racket and they flew away from the trees, because Abel is passing by out of an alley, looking and hunting for anyone suspicious.]



[OOC: It's going to be a failed bounty and he'll end up empty handed, probably. ;~;]

[tsukihito]

[After his earlier blunder, Tsukihito turned off his phone with a tense sigh.]

What a shameful display.

[He mutters quietly as he continued along his way. The streets here by this manor was covered in thick overgrowth from the vines scattered across the gate. He carefully walks over the leaves and twigs to get further down the sidewalk.]

Surely they're laughing at me now. Thank goodness I don't need to hear it--

[The fox trails off suddenly once he senses something near.]

What in the world--

[He grits his teeth as he leans back against the vines. Something is approaching...]

[02crusnikabel]

[Abel walked further out from the alley way, on the block outside the manor. He sighs to himself. Nothing. Perhaps he'll end up empty-handed tonight. And it's getting even more late, he should be going home.

If the fox deity stayed still, he'll sense the priest has a significant raised energy level, which is different when they last met at the Bay. And his silver hair rose up.

Something about this priest should tell the fox deity that he's more than he seems, and not just a mild-mannered priests.

Ah wait. His glasses is smidgen. So Abel took out a handkerchief to wiped the surface of his glasses to clean it.]

lol action

[feckinboomstick]

Did that bird give ye a start, beastie?

[If you don't know that voice by now, shame on you. It's terribly memorable.

One would imagine that a man so rude and bold might... not be the size of your average lady. Well you'd be wrong, the shotgun strapped to him looks like it might weigh as much as he does, not to mention the books dangling from his hips by a pair of chains that might snap a bigger man.

He looks pretty fine though, and as smug as ever]

Careful, nasty little buggers will peck your eyes out.

aw hell~ lol

[tsukihito]

[Da-me! This is no good.

A part of Tsukuyomi was actually dreading meeting this glorified donkey ever since their exchange over the network. The kitsune wanted nothing other than to grind this feminine (as if he could talk) bastard's head in-between his fangs. The latest addition to the populace here in Genessia is less friendlier than the rest and happens to be a Man of God.

Both of which annoys the former God of the Moon to no end.

He turns ever so slowly to see the annoyingly smug bastard standing there in all his bespectacled and shotgun glory. Tsukuyomi let's out a disgusted sigh as he turns away again.]

I certainly hope they peck your eyes out, pest.

[feckinboomstick]

Nasty creature ye be too, can't even take a bit of ribbin'.

[He isn't really out to harass the kitsune, he was literally out looking for dinner.

Why shoot dinner when he could buy it?

He's cheap]

Yippin' at birds like an angry little dog won't help ye any either, may as well go back inside where ye belong.

[There was something... not... right about the somber dressed man. Like some shadow desperately clinging to him, some massive tick in a sense.

An alien, abrasive, unearthly presence]

Might get eaten by a wolf.

Action;

[fiveyengod]

[ Bored. So bored. It's what pushes someone to go out in the dark, walking about idly while trying to find something he could do. Time ended up taking Yato out to the Everglades, dressed in that forever-unassuming striped tracksuit of his and really just looking like your average person.

An average person who stumbled across the sight of a rather amusingly skittish fox. So cue him sneaking up as quiet as he can and then popping up just behind him with a grin. ]

You know absolutely everyone DID see that, right? It's really okay to be scared. I won't judge!

[ Oh yeah. He's having way too much fun with this already. ]

[tsukihito]

G-Go away! Shoo!

[Goodness grief! Tsukuyomi cannot get a break today. He's hating life all the way through. Being reborn as some hapless beast definitely doesn't have any perks at all.]

Silence! Do not laugh at me. I'm not scared at all.

[fiveyengod]

Yeah? Your attitude says otherwise, you know.

[ He's a cheeky little bastard on most days and doesn't know when to stop. Though he doesn't mean anything entirely negative, just teasing. Mostly. ]

Besides! Who said I was laughing? Amused, but not laughing.

Action

[followthetwine]

[Merrill giggles from the top of a nearby streetlight. There's a simple story as to how and why she got up there, but first: ]

I think anyone nearby saw that. Since it is a lovely, quiet night, and you were talking. So of course people are going to look. Unless you mean, you want anyone who saw to forget. That should be easy to do. [A pause.] Oh, right. Talking about it keeps people from forgetting, doesn't it?

[tsukihito]

H-Huh!?

[The kitsune whirls around a few times once he hears someone giggling but he doesn't look up until the woman finally speaks.]

What are you even babbling about?! Of course I want people to forget what they saw. My pristine reputation is at stake here.

[His fur bristles a little and his puffy white tail swishes wildly behind him.]

So don't you tell anyone!

[followthetwine]

Oh, I babble all the time. Most just ignore me usually. [Casually kicking her legs back and forth.]

And I can't tell anyone? What about the crows? They're not anyone, per say, and I'm pretty sure the other ones already know.

[Video]

[lobstersamurai]

...Witnessed what, exactly?

[Ryoma raises an eyebrow, pretending not to notice Tsukihito's flinching at the cawing.]

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

[A sigh of pure relief escapes Tsukihito once the samurai replies.]

You, sir, are a breath of fresh air amongst all of the trash here within this world. You humbly have my appreciation.

[Now back to business.]

The realm here is tainted, Lord Ryoma. You would do well to stay away from the Everglades if you ever so grow bored of Fayren. I had ventured here on errand in hopes of eradicating such evils but---

[He shakes his head dejectedly.]

The evil is too great.

[lobstersamurai]

Ah.

[Ryoma nods sagely as he frowns.]

Surely there isn't another way to combat such evil?

[Video]

[song_princess]

[She must not giggle... She mustn't giggle. Please ignore the snerk that slipped from her lips.]

It is just a crow, my lord.

[Video]

[tsukihito]

[This woman is lucky that she's beautiful or else. Tsukuyomi straightens up a little and takes a moment to slick back his hair before speaking.]

Of course I'm aware of that. It's just that this realm has a foul atmosphere.

[Video]

[song_princess]

[She tried to hold back that giggle. Really she did!]

Does it? I must apologize for that small giggle.

[She pauses as she ponders something.]

Shall I offer some songs till you find a safer place, my lord?

[Video]

[enchantressofore]

[ Well, now that she's stuck with bed rest again if only to keep Law from becoming more cross with her, Adela is stuck looking around the network. And that's when she comes across this.

... Honestly, she's never even been to Everglade. Seeing the other jump from the startled noise, while amusing, also brings forth some sympathy in her, and when the feed clicks on she tries for a warm smile, hoping to reassure him. ]

I am surprised you can see much of anything there, good sir. I have heard almost nothing but ill of Everglade, and have not the courage to tread there myself even in the day.

[Video]

[tsukihito]

[Tsukuyomi flinches a little when the feed suddenly turns on again. He had his eyes focused on the bushes nearby when the redhead appears on screen. Something is rustling in there and Tsukuyomi almost has his tail wrapped around him at this point.]

M-My eyes are twice as sharp as any human's. Of course I can see in this impregnable darkness but this fog is still quite thick.

[He let's out a tense sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Yet, what is most foul is the stench of death that lingers in the air. The Everglades isn't friendly towards anyone.

action;

[iridescentillusion]

[After one particular crow startled the fox, there was another pair of crows nearby, though these two were a bit more unusual. One bore red eyes and the other blue, visibly glinting in the night. The blue-eyed crow tilted its head while the red-eyed one squawked repeatedly at Tsukuyomi, bouncing slightly on its lamp post perch.

... was it laughing at him?]

[tsukihito]

[A low growl escapes the fox as he zeroes in on the two odd crows. He hisses at them and waves his fist menacingly.

How dare these winged bastards mock him! How dare they mock a divine!]

Silence, you stupid buzzard! Shut up before I decide to eat you both!

[The livid fox huffs and puffs angrily as his long fluffy tail bristles in frustration. He glances around momentarily and finds some stones to toss at the menacing duo.]
