Dragon!

Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The forest outside of town!
When: Ambiguously around the 23rd

Before the mob
[Tek has run out of time. he's pushed his body and spirit to its limit, and his hold over himself finally slips. he's quiet about fleeing the city, but it's a different story once he reaches the wilderness. the sudden release of energy as he loses his human shape hits the atmosphere in a silent wave. the countryside shivers as an aura of death and malaise touches every living thing, even if only in the very back of the mind. and for those more sensitive to such things... it's clear that something has happened. something is here.

for those wandering the forest that day, they may step into an area of the forest gone still with a graveyard hush. and if they linger there, they might happen upon a monstrous beast.

he's keeping to the tallest, deepest copses of trees... because it's hard to keep hidden when you're the height of a three-story building. either creeping and looming between the trunks, gratefully wading into streams, or curling up to rest in roomy clearings, he's there.

and he's hideous. though not actually rotting, the creature is at least designed to look cadavorous. he doesn't appear overtly aggressive... but something looking like that must be far from harmless.]



After the mob
[and he can only stay hidden for so long. a band of foresters eventually happen upon him, and a battle inevitably ensues. it isn't long before the remnants of the group run howling into town-- a dragon is less than a mile away, and it has already struck down several of their number!

at once, the bravest warriors take up arms, ring the alarms, and begin to set out in bands to take down the monster!

anyone striking out to find the dragon after the battles have begun is definitely in for a fight, because he is now wounded and angry. and, since he's so large and caught in such a small area of land before he hits the barrier, he won't be hard to find--especially whenever he breaks the canopy of trees and takes flight, to try and find another area of forest not already full of attackers. if you watch the sky and follow him long enough, you're sure to find him.]



(ooc: open to absolutely anyone! just take a look at the ooc post first, and then jump in! also open for any peripherally-related threads--like reacting to the creepy wave of feeling that goes through the town, gathering friends, etc.--if you feel like it!

if you have any other questions, dump 'em in the ooc post!

otherwise, DRAGONFIGHT DRAGONFIGHT!!)

[ for all she knows, when she sees that talon aimed at her, she is being attacked. and as much as she would love to prove a point by remaining still, she's not that stupid; and ends up quickly rushing back and away from the strike. her arms raise defensively over her head, a faint purple hue suddenly enveloping her. upon closer inspection it seems to be a semi-visible shield.

there's a rush of wind, and the inevitable miss from the dragons attack, and it's once the creature's talons pass that she drops her arms down again.

but she's still not leaving. ]


I will not fight you, dragon! But I will fight with you, if I must! I will not see an innocent creature die. [ not again. ]

[ Alright, she's seen enough of this. The dragon isn't listening to Lior, and she also doesn't want her getting caught in the crossfire of whatever these other people are planning.

So, with inhuman ninja speed, Ino darts in to scoop the elf up and carry her away from the dragon's apparent range of attack ]

[ no. no! lioriley is immediately defiant; squirming in ino's grasp as she's lifted off the ground and pulled from the dragon's range. ]

W-What are you doing?! Release me!
ino: (Uhh ... what?)

[ Ino holds tight, for now ]

You're just pissing it off! You're going to get yourself killed.

You do not know that! [ you are ignorant. that's ignorant. ] Put me down! I cannot let those people hurt him!
ino: (Waiting impatiently.)

It's pretty obvious.

[ A sigh ... ]

Look, I don't want them to hurt it either if it can be avoided, but you getting caught in the crossfire isn't helping anything.
