🌙 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.

[tsukihito]

Quick with the insults, aren't you? [He nearly growls. These humans...] Mind yourself.

[Are all these accursed humans all so rude? It would seem so given how many insults Tsukuyomi has braved since entering this realm of Genessia.]

One could suspect you're not very cunning either for prowling these streets. Certainly you realize that a human like you are easy prey.

[nofortunateone]

[He actually meant it as a compliment but Toby doesn't really care enough to correct him. There is very little that phases him.]

I'm not very smart.

[A smirk tugs at Toby's lips.]

I'm also not human.

[For a fox he doesn't use his nose very well.]

[tsukihito]

You're not human...?

[Oh hells! Tsukuyomi is so petrified he can't even smell correctly. On a good day, Tsukuyomi would've been able to tell that since 'wolves' have a distinct scent to them. However, it's no longer day here and this is the Everglades.

The fox's senses are overwhelmed by a combination of his own fears and the dense fog.]

You're...a werewolf?

[nofortunateone]

Wolf.

[It's close enough but Toby doesn't like being compared to the pathetic excuses for wolves that live in Everglade. He'd been born a wolf and had learned to turn into a human. His claws nor are his bite toxic to anyone. He is his own race.]

But yes.

[tsukihito]

[A look of confusion lingers upon the kitsune's face.]

Merely a wolf? But you can transform into a man at will.

[A thoughtful hum escapes Tsukuyomi as he eyes this oddly normal looking fellow. He's tall and muscular but other than that, he doesn't seem very beast-like at all. Maybe the man isn't a werewolf after all. He seems to lack their blood lust too.]

Are you friend or foe?

[nofortunateone]

Something like that.

[Toby rolls his shoulders in a shrug, his muscles tensing and relaxing through the action.] That depends on you.

[He won't just attack though he's told Fai he'll help the city which means he'll attack those planning to hurt innocent people.]

[tsukihito]

Well, I certainly am not eager to make a foe in this wicked place. Therefore, I greet you as a friend.

[The fox wisely says as he turns his wary gaze up the street ahead.]

What kind of diabolical force plagues this realm? Does this evil have a name?

[nofortunateone]

There are a few with a few different names.

[He nods in the direction of a sub-archway.]

The vampire on the hill is Dracula? Maybe... don't know, don't really care. He hides out in his castle. Around here there are all sorts of things.

[tsukihito]

Dracula?

[He turns his gaze towards the other manor up north. Tsukuyomi could somewhat see it within the foggy distance. The home of this Dracula looks something like a castle to him.] If he's constantly in hiding, then what is it that plagues this realm?

Surely there's someone or something else causing such trouble.

[nofortunateone]

Many somethings.

[Toby doesn't know everything that bumps in the night.]

Zombies, werewolves, other vampires, demons, and a lot of other things that feed on people with all different sorts of names.
