Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
Story Time
Waterstrider moves to set his paw on Lily's shoulder reassuringly before pulling a nearby blanket over his brother. "He will be. This was his first time doing something like that, so he's really really tired. He just needs time to recover." When he hears Renetta's comment, he can't help but look back and smile to her, tail wagging slightly. It hadn't been so long ago that the "Maybe Someday" had been "never", and that made the moment especially meaningful to him.
Forest Hut
Pathfinder listens closely to what Freddy had to say, marking it all down mentally. At the mention of garlic and salt, a paw falls idly down to one of his pouches at his side, and he gives a nod. At the end, he looks the Huldra over more closely, reaching out with his spirit to get a better judge of it. "Is there a way to learn of a Revenant's presence well ahead of time?"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
[Story Time]
Freddie doesn't have much to add, just letting those who know each other better speak for the time being.
[Forest Hut]
What Pathfinder's spirit finds may be...
Troubling.
The Huldra is hollow inside. Like a tree that has been burned out by fire but still grows regardless. Only unlike those chimney trees Freddie is still very much alight inside. Within the demon-fox writhes a burning amalgamation of every soul he has consumed.
His ghostly fox-fire.
"Death," he replies simply. "Revenants hate the living and will slay any they can given the chance. Creatures they kill are twisted into Wights under their control, undead husks that are a mockery of whatever they were in life. If a Revenant were nearing the campsite we would probably encounter its victims first."Last edited by Rebonack; 2012-05-10 at 10:25 PM.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
[Moonless Midnight - Attack Of The Insectoid Facehuggers From Marty's Sleeve!]
Oh gods, not a creepy-crawly-shiny beetle-aggressor assaulting Valaira's face! Whatever has she done to Dalachrech to warrant him loosing his exoskeleton-ed horde upon her?
As Valaira darts through the shadows en route to the Maple Cabin, the killer beetle from Marty's sleeve collides and latches onto her face!
In a split second, Valaira's inner turmoil is shattered and cast out the window, flattened by a semi, and kicked in the gut a few times for good measure and replaced an usurping force, confusion!
Something landed on her face! She jumps and only manages to stifle a yip of shock by the skin of her teeth. That doesn't prevent her from gasping noisily and clamping a gauntleted palm onto the pommel of her blade.
In a flash, she bring her hand upwards, rips the terrible bug from her flesh, and thrusts it upon the ground with as much agility and energy as she can muster, her arm blurring slightly as it travels through space.
Now is probably the time she espies Marty.
She immediately does her best to look innocent!
That's a basically impossible feat seeing as she's wearing tons of combat armor and a recently bloodied blade is strapped to her side.

Attack of the Face-Hugger Beetles
The poor beetle splats on the ground with a nasty crunch. Ew. Marty's jaw drops. The man is dressed in his usual black suit. (Big Sig Banner) the blonde man stuttuers out slowly. Um...s-sorry miss...um...wait. Y-Your sword? You...you're covered in b-blood. What? Um...d-don't hurt me p-please! He was afraid of the woman and her blood-soaked blade. Blood...could be anyones.

Kashi's eyes go big as he gets an idea, and moves his head out of the way of more nosepets for a moment. He turns around some of his bulk so that his left wing is facing Hekta and kneels his forepaws down so that his body is at straddling height.
"Snyyu? <Want to go flying?>" Kashi's head turns back around so he can peer at her curiously.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Once again, Tel-Zaf Kax nods. He didn't very much care who did it, so long as someone could. Although, that said, he did want to keep this more or less quiet.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
Storytime!
Kashi shakes his head, indicating he already has a name, but takes off anyway. Hekta better hold on tightly!
Not wanting her to get scared, the serpentine dragon decides to just do a loop of the lake and then back to the common area, skimming low over the water for most of the trip and letting his claws drag over the surface lightly before swooping upwards and looping around in a tight arc.
He'll head back to where they took off from, unless Hekta somehow indicates that she wants to go elsewhere.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
[Moonless Midnight - Night Of The Un-living Beetles]
Valaira regularly finds a way to make mouths swing agape, but this isn't her classic technique or style. At least squishing that beetle was satisfying! That atones for a sprinkling of tribulation that this chance encounter might terminate in!
Marty should be careful not to discriminate against vampire magnets like Valaira with her latest wardrobe addition! You never know when one or two of them might come in handy!
Valaira presses her index finger to her lips as Marty begins freaking out about her blood-speckled...everything. He's honestly out to blow her cover, and the worst thing is, he is decidedly a pro when it comes to that!
"Ssshhhh! I just returned from an expedition! Keep your voice down! I don't need Quinn to see me like this! I'm not about to chop you up into bite-sized pieces and throw you into the lake or into a pot or anything!"
That's an absurdly vivid hypothetical to mention to a spooked man on a pitch black night with no witnesses around and a lake to dispose of bodies located so conveniently nearby!

The shaman pulls his senses back into his body before giving a nod. "I'll keep that in mind, but you'll have to go into detail about the Wights later though." He says, setting a paw on Lily's shoulder to comfort her.

"If it's all the same," Freddie speaks up, his ears perking forward a bit. "I'd like to stay our here with the children as well if they choose to sleep under the stars."
The Huldra sounds...
Protective? Loving. Concerned.
And excited.
They'll get to watch for shooting stars until they fall asleep!
[Forest Hut]
Freddie winces. Whoops... too many details...
"Never to worry, Lily," the Huldra says, his voice confidant. "Pathfinder can ward the whole campsite against the monsters so they can't get in. It'll be the safest place in all the woods."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

is insufficient to contain the excitement. Sleeping under the stars! With her two favourite Wolfen! Her four favourite, if Renetta and Flamecrest stay too! And Freddy who was sort of like a Wolfen but not quite too! Lily is forced to jump up and down and clap her hands and squeal to prevent exploding.
Even SrsHat Tito manages to perk up. "Really? That'll be fun!" =D

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 81: Ghostbusters!
Forest Hut
Pathfinder gives Freddy a smile at that comment, knowing that it was to comfort Lily. "We can talk more of spirits later, but for now, would you like something to drink?" He asks. He doesn't say eat, as he didn't care for the fact that Huldra fed on souls and spirits, even though it was likely a necessary cycle of life. While Freddy seemed perfectly friendly, he had to protect the spirits around him. It was his Duty.
Slumbertime
Waterstrider smiles to the halfling children and give them nods. "Collect the blankets we brought and pile on around him. You too, Freddy." He says before looking at Renetta, wondering if she'd stay for now. If nothing else, he and her could sneak off in the night to the forest hut to a more comfortable bed.

Freddie can totally eat things that aren't souls! He just won't gain any nutrition from the food when it's turned to ash inside his burning body. Same thing will probably happen with drinks. Reduced to steam and organic residue.
But despite this Freddie knows full well that eating with a person is a sign of friendship with them. And to decline would be rude.
He nods in reply. "That would be wonderful, thank you."
Will Lily get something too?
Stay tuned to find out!
[Slumber Party!]
Four little wisps drift out of the Huldra and POOF POOF POOF! transform into three big, thick, warm wool blankets! They smell kind of strange, strongly of fire and the forest. But they're just as soft and cuddly as the real thing.
The fourth wisp becomes a little lantern and hangs itself on a nearby tree. Those fox-fire illusions sure are interesting things...
Freddie leans over to boop Lily with his nose. "You need to introduce me to your brother," he says as he moves to lay down near Pathfinder. Though... with enough space between himself and the Wolfen for the children to nestle between them.
He's a Huldra after all. He isn't sure how he feels about sleeping right next to an adult. Well... he's VERY sure how he feels about it. Hungry. Which is why he plans on sleeping next to the children instead.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Having never flown before, on a dragon no less, Hekta looks extremely fascinated by the brief tour over GloG. Her claws dig in tightly into Kashi's scales as she holds on to him. Only after a moment she seems to have got used to the wind and adjusts her seat accordingly.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Can we go to the city? I must show Elias!" She exclaims, pointing towards inside in the distance.

"Farewell. Hope we see each other again." Cessie bids them before leaving with the dryad and Laela.

"But you met Tito already! He came to rescue me when the onion lady and her killer friend were attacking us!" That wasn't really a meeting, Lily. Or an attack, for that matter. "See, here he is. He's so boring and serious, ALL the time!"
"Better than being dumb!"
"Better than being a coward!"
"I'm careful! That's not the same as being scared!"
"Oh yeah. But you were still scared of Freddie, and he's really nice and he's helping Pathfinder protect us from monsters!"
Tito throws up his hands. "Aaargh! You are... such a girl!" Apparently this was the only appropriate insult he could come up with.
Intervention may be necessary.

Pathfinder will probably get Lily a cup of goat's milk, freshly milked this morning by one of her parents. It's Lily's favourite thing to drink.Last edited by happyturtle; 2012-05-12 at 12:32 PM.

[Lucy and Bill]
Lucy smiles as the Deathclaw falls asleep, walking quietly away to study the surrounding area. Inspecting it for nightmarish taints and hidden creatures, but breathing a sigh of relief at finding none.
The nurse does, however, find a glowing porcupine, and decides to see if the magic that translated Bill's speech works on it as well.
"Greetings, smalls sire. Or is it madam?..."
And thus the Undead nurse passes the night exploring magic, unless strange events come to pass.

Oh dear.
Arguing children.
Those are the worst kind.
Freddie remembers well enough fighting with his back in the day. But those memories seem so distant and dream-like now...
The Huldra coughs politely as the children squabble with each other. Should polite coughing prove ineffectual he'll resort to making a rather funny sounding fox-yip to get their attention!
"If we argue too loudly we might disturb Pathfinder," Freddie points out. "And it's nice to meet you again, Tito. I promise I'm not dangerous."
Not to children at least.
"I have an idea. How about he have a contest! Whoever can spot the most shooting stars wins."
Wins what?
Why, the satisfaction of victory of course!Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Kashi trills his understanding and then pulls into a tight circle, trying to orient himself properly. Let's see.... if he recalls correctly, Inside should be over thataway.

"Reminds me when I was in the wilderness once." Cessie comments as she GloG in the distance. "We were with a people called the 'wolfen' in their camp. Two of my best friends got married there actually." She smiles faintly even if she didn't enjoy that event as much back then as she would have now.
Storytime! - To The Skies!
She could provide vague directions at the very least as she right now just likes to enjoy the ride. They will probably find their way there though... eventually.
