Chillin' in the Woods

[Sena Molli]

The ever lasting sky was solid black in the early morning, besides the setting moon and stars. Imal loved to watch the sunrise, so every morning at around four she would come to the outskirts of Kiru City where the lights wouldn't block out the stars. Autumn was always her favorite season; the leaves were crunchy and a nice shade of orange and red, the grass was still lively and soft, and the temperature was always perfectly warm with a light breeze. Fresh air soothed Imal's body with it's sweetness and comfort. And of course the cute animals running around always made the day better. She lied in the grass, her arms tucked under her head and her legs sprawled out lazily. The Forever Autumn Woods was always the best place to chill in the morning.

It was early in the morning, Nova was exhausted from making a whole lot of bullet casings for his newly found friend. He decided since he had no plans today, to just get outta Kiru City and just find someplace to relax, finally leaving the city and catching a breath of fresh air. Nova wanted to explore once again, he couldn't stand being in one place for to long and that's just what he did.

Deciding to enter the Forever Autumn Woods, he found himself to one of natures beautiful sights full of life and animals all around, he felt like he could stay here all day, which is what he was intending to do. Just hide from quests and monster slaying, but always on guard with his gear in case its needed, better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. A little exhausted from the long stroll Nova jumped up to the nearest tree, pulled himself to the top and with a apple in one hand and water then the other started to laze out, just staring out upon the scenery.

Imal lied in the grass as content as can be. Her eyes suddenly moved on their own to look at a branch of a tree not too far from where she was. She couldn't tell what her eyes were trying to let her see until they adjusted clearly. Imal's eyes have always had a habit of landing right where something or someone was, she could never figure out how. On the branch was a person who, at the moment, seemed harmless. "Hello~!" Imal called to the stranger without a second thought, hoping for a relaxing conversation with a fellow gazer of the beautiful scenery.

[xXNovaXxFate]

Being exhausted from his travel, he let his guard down and didn't even notice anyone was around, while he was relaxing in the tree. As he heard the voice of a women calling out to someone, it caught him off guard and unbalanced for a second, catching his balance and looking down, he sees the women was calling out to him.

"Hello sorry i didn't notice anyone was around the area" As he jumped down a couple branches, making sure not to break any, then jumping to the ground.
"Sorry for making you wait, my names Nova, Nova Gauner, i don't think I've ever seen you around before. Are you a traveler?" (Asked nova while reaching out his hand.)

[Sena Molli]

Imal watch the stranger jump down. "well that's impressive," she thought to herself. She quickly got off the ground as to not be rude and shook his hand when he offered. "Hello, Nova, I'm Imal. The farthest I've ever traveled is out here, which is often, though I've always wanted to go somewhere less crowded and more chill. I'm from Kiru City, nice to meet you. Where are you from? What brings you out here?" Imal offered her friendliest smile.

[tiny-violent-top-hat]

Not far from the others, within the same woods, a peaceful and almost idyllic scene unfolded - an elven maiden sat under another tree, cradling a large raptor of some sort in her arms while a squirrel perched on one shoulder and a mouse on the other. It certainly looked peaceful, in light of how serene her face seemed, but don't be deceived! Ysildaine was the very image of tired concentration, actually, having walked for goodness knows how long to get here from wherever she'd come from. She didn't remember where she'd come from - something about a fairy. Or was that a ferry? F-E-R-R-Y, yeah.

"Now, now, don't be rude. I know you're not usually inclined to get along, but come on! It'll be fine. You can get to know each other and stuff!"
She was interrupted in trying to convince them by the eagle angrily beating his wings and trying to get at the mouse and squirrel again. This resulted in both simply scurrying off, as it had become quite unsafe, and left Daine under a tree with an angry bird. Unwilling to let said bird go in his current state, she settled in one of the tree's lower branches with her lyre in hand. Time to calm the birb and take song requests...from the...birb. Yeah. There was nothing wrong with that! Besides, maybe this way she'd attract more people to interact with.

"Well, alright, if you insist. I've never been good at that one."

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
When it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance, hear the laughter
Of the last unicorn.
When the first breath of winter
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And the pale moon is rising
Then, look into the sky
Where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and- TERRA DAMN IT, OW!

Damn, something had hit her, and the elf had lost her balance and fallen out of her tree. The bird seemed much calmer now than he had before, but she had a bruise and he was definitely being blamed here. "...D-do you have any idea how much of a dick move that was? I'm talking to you, Aquila Chrysaetos, look me in the eye and-" ...Oh, it hadn't been him. Never mind. Just the wind, or something? Either way, she kind of wanted this bird to fly on now so she could assess the damage done to her instrument and herself. That knee stung, Terra take it, and she wasn't sure how much longer she could deal with his shenanigans. Besides, those people's conversation over there seemed interesting. Time to lurk? Time to lurk. Maybe they knew where the nearest waffle place was.

Nova chuckled a bit. "Its a pleasure to meet you Imal, and honestly i came out here to do the same thing" "I've been doing alot of quests and helping out some friends, that i have aches all over" "but being out here and seeing this wonderful sight has relieved me of them a bit" Nova said while stretching, then giving Imal a smile back to hers. "Ahh its pretty refreshing to be out here, although this is my first time here, but this wont be my last"

As Nova became quiet and more focus he heard a type of song or something coming from the distance, not moving from where he was standing but paying more attention to the song then hearing a thump, that person must've fell from somewhere he presumed. Noticing she noticed them, Nova started walking a bit closer to this unique stranger and called out to her. "I know your there are you ok" He waited a bit. "I heard something, like if someone or something fell, are you hurt anywhere, i might not be a medic or anything but i can do the minor basic things to help" looking over the direction where she is, but not moving any closer just to be safe its not something like a trap or something, or to not scare her.

[tiny-violent-top-hat]

"Wuh?" Oh! Stranger! Kind stranger, incidentally. Ysildaine sort of tried to get up, finding she was still a bit too winded for that. "Nah, I'm okay! Elves are sturdier than that. How else d'you think we learn to climb as kids, huh? Let me tell you, I fell off this oak once, it was...ahem."

[Sena Molli]

As Imal was about to reply, Nova suddenly looked concentrated, then moved. She followed him with a quizzical expression on her face. When he stopped and called out to someone, she looked over and saw another person. She looked hurt, so Imal naturally started to walk towards her to try and help.

[xXNovaXxFate]

"I never thought of your kind as weak, but here let me take a look at your knee it looks like you hurt it" nova said while trying to get a better look at it. "If you let me i can put a small pain reliever and bandage it up. (If accepted Bunny-Modding will be allowed to let tiny to only make my character patch her up)

"Not long ago i almost fell from a tree myself" Nova smiled. "Whats your name if i may ask? My name is Nova"

[Christian Winters]

A gust of cold air caught the air with Christian entrance to the woods. Someone had told him that a demon tribe had been not too far away, but that lead had been a dead end, so he was on his way back home. That was when he noticed his companion Nova.

"Long time no see, my comrade" He said with a nod to the young demon.

[tiny-violent-top-hat]

"Ah? No, that's alright, that's f-"
She didn't have time to finish her sentence, because she was immediately tended to whether she wanted it or not. Daine really hadn't been that badly hurt, just slightly winded and with a bruised knee, but the one giving the assistance was still awarded with a thankful look and an awkward chuckle.
"You all really shouldn't worry." The arrival of the angel didn't even faze her much, owing to the general tendency of people like her to expect the unexpected. And just because everything was odd enough and full enough of new faces already. "I guess it's time to have, like, an introduction montage or something! My name is Ysildaine, I'm the younger daughter of Selanthiel Talaenys, as in high priestess of Terra for elven settlements in the Tar'els. Might've heard of my sister, too, Jaazira - she's been making a name for herself on some dance scene. Not...not that you guys'd know, I guess. Hi."
Pause, as she smiled lopsidedly and tried to figure out how to introduce them to themselves. Or just convince them to reciprocate the name and background-check. "You're...uh...comrades, or something?

[Sena Molli]

Imal had knelt beside Ysildaine, whose name she thought was very unique and difficult, to try an assist, but Nova had beaten her to the punch line so she figured she would stand by. As Ysildaine introduced herself, Imal had no idea what she was talking about. She has simply lived her life not paying attention to anything else but getting by; so she didn't know anything about any other place besides her home, a terrible trait she inherited from her grandfather. Though, Imal did find this person to be very strange, she had been taught not to judge and so kept her negative thoughts locked in the back of her mind and accepted Ysildaine as she was.
When a new person showed up, Imal was stalled from introducing herself. As the new character made himself known, Imal felt a pulling sensation on her back, which usually meant her instincts were saying, "bad vibe, bad vibe!" Sometimes Imal really hated those instincts because they made her feel negative. She pushed that feeling aside and turned to the stranger with a friendly smile and stood up, figuring she would introduce herself, again for Nova, to everyone.
"Ahem," Imal cleared her throat to start, "my name is Imal Theal, no middle name. I live in Kiru City and have just met all of you today," she said to answer Ysildaine's question. "It's nice to meet you!" Imal stretched her smile to show her excitement for meeting new people and put her hands on her hips proudly.

[xXNovaXxFate]

"Well i did only minor things, you should be alright to stand if you want" Starting to stand back up, "I recently met everyone today except for my comrade over here" Looking over to see Christian. "Long time no see man, hows everything been going for you" Reaching out to shake hands with Christian. Then looking back at everyone, what started off as a day to be just a relaxer turned into a whole party of people, some he never knew until now. "Well this seems to be a party we got going on" Nova said with a smile.

[Christian Winters]

Christian laughed at Novas humorous comment before looking at the other. His mind told him to not fear these people, so he smiled before introducing himself.

"Christian Winters. Ice Angel of The Lake of Frozen Tears in the hilled lands. Pleasure to make your acquantince." He said as a gust of icy cold air released from his spread wings.

[Sena Molli]

It got colder, making Imal shiver slightly. "It's nice to meet you," she replied happily. "It's so nice meeting so many unique people at once. Let's all get along!"
Imal sat back down and leaned against the tree lazily with her right leg over her left.

[xXNovaXxFate]

As the cold was settling in, it relaxed Nova, he was standing right next to Christian. "Ahhh nice and refreshing, just what i needed" He smirked then walked over to a tree to rest his back against. "What are we going to do on this fine day" Looking at everyone, since today was his day to relax, he would just follow along with whoever wants to do something.

[Christian Winters]

"Whatever the group is doing, I am fine with" Christian complied as he sat next to his friend
