mutant lovers

[KillerMuffin]

OOC: Welcome

IC: I roll to my feet, smoothly shifting were. My ears prick and my eyes narrow to tiny slits. Something is coming.

IC

after my lovely relaxing bath with pyro i enjoyed a few peaceful hours of lovemaking with him in our bed.

i woke up first not unusual and dressed quietly. i chuckled softly i wondered if i had in fact worn pyro out. he was young though my hand running along his bare leg that was stretched free of the sheets feeling his morning erection. maybe later i think to myself. i slink to where muffin's quarters are and ask if she'd like to go for early morning run. i sense something troubling nature and i want help sniffing it out.

she stretches and i wait wondering what form she'll take hoping this morning walk will help me get to know her and perhaps become routine. as pyro is fabulous for most things, but early morning walks isn't one of them.

(hopefully on this walk we'll head to railroad tracks and find.."swampthing" tromping along upon them)

Pyro

Exhausted from yesterdays activities, I sleep late and catch up on some much needed rest. I wake up to find that Viloet and Muffin have gone for a walk, so I go to the kitchen and start cooking breakfast for them. It seems like such a peaceful morning, I've completely forgotten how worried I was feeling last night. I open a window to let in the cool breeze, and enjoy the beautiful day as the sun climbs high over the campus.

 

[nightray]

I wolk in to the kichin looking for food and see the the one of fire whoching the sun rise. I make a sandwich befor he sees me. I look him in the eye and smile slitly saying good morning. I go to a tabeil and sit sil whoching him.

 

[PolishedKnob]

Pyro

I turn around to see nightray sitting at the table eating a sandwich. "Good morning! How are you today?" I say, "I think Violet and Muffin went out for a walk. What brings you to these parts?"

 

[nightray]

I lived her once and ther is no wer els to go. I like whot you have donehere the land needs more pepil like you and maby les like I wos. I foll silent with the pain of memery.

 

[KillerMuffin]

We walk slowly along the train tracks, she seems disturbed by something. I wait for her to tell me. Mentally, I pick up something strong, coming towards us. I can tell she senses it too. I yank my clothes off, handing them to her, and seamlessly shift were. My nose is much stronger now, my ears more sensitive. Pricking them, I listen ahead, sniffing.

We walk slowly along the tracks, a woman and a wolf, getting more nervous. Perhaps we should have brought Pyro along, or that other guy.

 

[intriguess]

violet

i shiver and fold her clothes and place them in bag, it's harder for me to communicate with her now, i place one hand on the metal rails. sensing heat on it and biting my lip i focus and my jaw drops as my eyes are closed and i thank god i didn't bring pyro.

he was huge in my mind i could see him shambling along, he seemed to be made of vegetable matter, pyro would have fried him alive. and i wasn't sure my gift would work on him.

i whistled softly letting muffin know that it was approaching and as far as i could tell not malicious.

i rubbed my hands together, as muffin returned to my side retaining her wolf form, i'd have to talk to her about her ability. it seemed to take a toil on her physically.

i rested a hand on her shoulder and tried to show her mentally what i'd seen as well as tap into her senses. i had an odd connection with her. as with all people i healed. the more energy i exerted in healing the more i was connected. pyro and the child i had delivered were only two i could sense without thinking. but i had done enough to muffin that my head didn't pound this time.

her senses told me how far away he was. nearly four hours by my reckoning. but with his long stride i decided he might be here in two. i nodded and said, "we have time to get something to eat and tell others. i think it's time we all got to know each other, and the dangers you brought here."

i had read much of danger in her mind and not wanting to push the issue i headed back to main building. then pause suddenly.

"pyro and nightray are coming to us," it should be about 20 minutes til they get here. i suppose i was exuding danger got him concerned."

i find place to sit and wait

 

[nightray]

I wos still woching pyro wen he sed violet needs help he asks if I will com to. I shrug and folo hem.

 

[PolishedKnob]

Pyro

"Ohh...," I say, as nightray suddenly became glum, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bring back any bad memories..."

I go back to cooking breakfast, but I get hit by a wave of fear from Violet. Nothing intense, but I can sense something is wrong. I remember the weapons we discovered last night; perhaps Violet and Muffin have found (or have been found by) whoever was stockpiling them.

"I think something is wrong! We'd better go find Muffin and Violet. Come with me! I don't think it's safe to travel alone around here any more."

We rush off, leaving breakfast half finished. I can tell which way she went just by sensing her emotions. The fear seems to be fading, but I'll feel safer once I see that her and Muffin are okay.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I whined in the back of my throat, letting Violet through my head to my senses. It was odd how she could do that, neither of use being classic telepaths.

Can you hear me? I asked, whispering as quietly as I could with my mind.

Whatever was coming towards us disturbed me. My ears flicked and I kept close to Violet. I hadn't done nearly as much fighting in my Were form as I had human, but I was much more effective Were. The Colony had taught me that at least.

 

[intriguess]

i petted muffin. an odd gesture trying to be ressuring as her soft whisper rippled through my mind.

yes, i said out loud as i tried to relax. i had studied hand to hand fighting techniques, a 'payment' from one of my more unusual patients. i kept his body in order while he trained pyro and i. was an interesting month. he left to find his sister, hoping to find her alive.

i pulled my mind back to present as the shambling hulk was outlined on horizon. the sound of two men running approaching asa we all turned to face this new being.

it wouldn't be long now maybe five tense minutes until we would face the creature

 

[nightray]

wen we git ther violet and the other are siting on a folin log. I wolk up to them as pyro askes whot is the mater. I look at the wolf and smile at her. I shift to wolf and say helo. as I say hello I smell whot is coming. I tern and see it coming My hackl stand strat up and my lips cerl to show my 7 inch teeth clirly. Then my mind tuch is it and I relax it wont hert unles we atack.

 

[PolishedKnob]

Pyro

We run up to Muffin and Violet, and I see something approaching on the horizon; a rather large creature I can't identify. "What's going on?" I ask, but the look on Violet's face seems to tell me she doesn't know much more than I do.

 

[daniducci]

OOC: First off, let me apologize. Sunday, my PC went down and wouldn't boot up. Something wrong with my autoexec and/or config.sys I guess. I finally got it running today (reinstalled Windows). Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Terribly sorry.

IC: As I continue wandering, the morning becomes a blur. I no longer remember waking up in the morning. To me, my whole life has consisted of endless walking. As I come up over a hill I stop I vaguely recognize, somewhere in the back of what passes for my mind, that there is someone ahead. Not understanding my own thoughts, I continue towards the group of now 4 "people". I barely notice their presence, but they seem to notice mine. As I approach them, they get a better look, and smell. I smell of rot and decay and something else...something not quite right. Looking at me, you marvel at the pain I must feel, though truth be told I'm quite numb to it. The pain is all I know and remember. If it's been there the last 5 minutes, then to me it's been there my whole existence. Most frightening might be the numerous insects and spiders that litter my body, and the rats and snakes that scamber or slither along with me. Those with more empathetic abilities will get little more from me but a cloud of nothing. From these creatures with me, you may since a great pain and sadness. A sense of great loss which they fail to "comprehend". But somehow, they have attached themselves to me. For what, you and they don't "know". Off in the distance, you sense a mutant feline which has been following me for many miles after (unknown to you) attacking me and my entourage this morning. It knows not why it is following me. It feels a mix of hostility towards me and a yearning to join me. If I am aware of these creatures around me, you can't tell. I continue to move, paying them no attention, and truly not "knowing" that they are there.

Abrubtly I stop. My already bent frame hunches over more as I kneel on one knee. With an amazing quickness I thrust my arm deep into the ground in one fast, powerful, violent blow. You feel a shockwave through the ground. As you watch, from closer than you'd like to be, you see the vegetation around me wither and brown as the creatures with me all back away. After a few silent moments, I pull my arm free and fall back on my ass. The creatures with me swarm all over me before I again stand up and walk almost straight towards you.

 

[nightray]

As the crecher cums closer It punchis the gownd makeing the plants arond it wither and the crecher to backof until it gits up and cums forwerd strate at use. I stand on all fores and go arond it smilling the feline folowing it nowing that vilet and pyro can handil thes one. I go to snif out the cat.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I stick my nose out, sniffing, taking a step, then another, then another, closer to this new creature. It smells odd, like decay and rot, and something... else.

In the back of my mind, where my tiny little telepathic ability rests, I hear a long low keening moan, like a creature in great pain, but not giving in to the pain.

I sit on my haunches, ears pricked, and cock my head to the side.

"Broowf." I say, forgetting my throat can't make words. I flick my ears and whine in my throat.

 

[nightray]

when I fined the cat it run away to fast fore me to folow so I tern back to the others. I stand behinde the crecher as it stops in frunt of the rest. I tern back to humen forme and I wate to see whot hapins next

 

[daniducci]

OOC: Just a point nightray so it doesn't happen when it really matters. It's my cat, so I'll decide whether it runs away or not . If anyone wants to do something with any one of the individual insects, snakes, or rodents, feel free (you weirdos ;-) ), but I have an affinity for my big mutant cat (no clue what it's doing around here, but that's artistic freedom) so I'll be controlling her actions (it's a she). If you want a visual of the cat, think back to Battlecat from the old He-Man, Masters of the Universe cartoon. Big, green, yellow stripes (no face mask). I'll continue assuming you approached the cat.

IC: The cat, knowing it is outside of its own territory, immediately becomes defensive as nightray approaches. Under normal conditions, this massive feline would try to dominate the wolf that has come up. But feeling the confusion of having met the strange man-like creature, the cat is more timid than normal. She crouches down, flattening herself into a submissive yet defensive position known to all animals. Her fur bristles on her neck as a deep growl eminates from her throat. She will clearly fight if attacked, and her long, sharp teeth and claws do not look inviting to any but the most masochistic of creatures. She backs up, positioning herself to spring at her potential attacker and waits. (btw, this is quite a way from the creature that I'm playing but haven't named, because the cat was not following closely at all)

OOC: Okay, I'm not adding anything about the creature because he's not going to respond to anything unless directly bothered. Nightray, I'd prefer not to have you and the cat fight, cause you don't want to lose and I don't want my cat to lose. If you choose to attack anyway, remember that the cat is much larger than you (from what I remember of your description you're just a normal looking wolf in wolf form, correct me if I'm wrong) and cats are more use to killing alone while wolves tend to be pack animals. But feel free to act as your character would naturally act. Just don't expect me to let my cat die. I spent to much at the vet to let her die. ;-)

 

[nightray]

occ my wolf is 5 feet at the sholder I sory if I wos vage on hes sise.

ic I come up to the cat slowly showing no theret in my actions. I snif it's nose sensing it dosnot wont to fite so I tern back to the other. I send back felling of frend ship to the cat and trot off.

occ is that ok

"Erff." I say again. Then flick a glance at Violet and Pyro. That other guy had chased the cat, then took off into the bushes or something.

So far, the creature wasn't doing anything but killing vegetation.

Gaiea, what is it? I wondered aloud mentally. Violet looked at me.

"Who is Gaiea?" She asked. The creature shifted, watching the Nightray person. "Tell me later."

Okay. I thought back. I whined again in the back of my throat and wondered if Gaiea would help us if this thing proved hostile. The pain of it was probably a cry from Her as well. Things That Should Not Be always made Gaiea hurt.

 

[nightray]

I com up behind the plant crecher and tern back to humin forme woching the crecher. I wating for violet to make the ferst move.

OOC my posts may become sporadic as something has come up in my life, i'll try to post on this thread once a day.

IC i wince as the things arms touches ground killing vegetation. i watch nightray bound after a huge cat and i look puzzled at pyro as i ruffle muffin's ears and gently tell her, her human form might be easier to communicte in.

he's a rotting shambling hulk and while i feel pity at smae time, i try to puzzle out a use for him. i slowly walk toward him wrapping my hands in layers of cloth wary of direct contact. i sense he'd feel at home in the garbage heap, that his ability to decay things would be more useful there and finding a rope, i wonder if i should try and lead him there, as he seems to have little to no social skills or verbal ability, the animals upon him emit worry and fear, but the carion critters relax as i try and give them sense that i'll take care of him.


OOC
(pyro you might want to char the land behind him so the rotting doesn't spread, how about we get him settled and have a talk about what everyone thinks we should do, of course as 'leader and originator' of thread i have the last word. and find a place to put his kitty.....daniducci would you mind if someone else took on role of cat at some point?)

 

[PolishedKnob]

Pyro

OOC: not a bad idea...

IC: I look around and survey the situation. Well, more like smell the situation. The trail of rotting vegitation that follows his path seems to be spreading over the landscape. If it's strong enough to make our noses turn now, I can't imagine what will happen once it ferments for a few days. "I'd better take care of this before we lose all our crops!" I say, stepping forward. I raise my arms and concentrate on the filth. Smoke starts to emerge as it begins to smolder and soon the decaying wake bursts into tall flames. The dark, foul smoke rises high in the sky, and I begin to think back to the weapons we found yesterday, hoping the flames don't attract any unwanted attention.

 

[daniducci]

OOC: Okay, just to clear some things up a bit, the rotting vegetation only occured when I punched the ground and stopped when I pulled out. No big deal though. So you burn what I did cause to wither. We'll go with that.

IC: As the fire touches the vegetation, I abrubtly stop in my tracks. A low, inhuman growl emits from deep within me. I turn in a circle twice, as if looking for the source of what disturbs me. Finally, I focus on the burning rot that I had left behind me. Roaring I lumber back and walk into the center of the fire. The flames lick at my flesh, attaching on to me body in a feast. I fall to my knees, roaring with what sounds like despair, not pain or anger. The wind suddenly picks up as you feel bursts of wind from surprisingly random directions, though never sustained. But the burst of wind are enough to fan the flames stronger and into the living vegetation. But at the same time, the flames appear to be dieing down except for those grounded on my "skin".
