Ragnor: Raises an eyebrow as the girl suddenly disappears, then simply shrugs
Eh, happens to all of us to where we suddenly disappear
Blight: Folds his wings back, large ears swiveling forward
Oi, Rag, it safe?
Ragnor: Rolls his eyes
Please, I'm completely safe
Blight: Lays one of his ears back
Bruh, tell that to someone who'll believe it
"Classic strategy. Play dead and eventually the cat will get bored and leave."
Spines suddenly shot down from the rafters, embedding themselves around Runner's body and close enough that their heat is felt
"Hm. Well, this is new."
Tess jumps down from the rafters, landing effortlessly at Runner's feet. Her clawed hands were pressed against the floor by her feet, kind of like a cat Expecting that?
"Can't say I did," he said, looking up at her
Cinthia then comes back, riding a very angry winged black reptile that had a screaming man in its claws. It dropped the man and flew off, circling above him. He turned to the strangers. P-Please. Help me! Sh-she'll kill me if you don't!
(quick question @MotoMoto, does Runner have anything in his pockets?)
Ragnor: Turns his head, still relaxed against the tree
Hm?
Blight: Looks over, ears swiveling forward
Oh, look, a morsel to eat
Ragnor: Please Blight…
Blight: What, what I say?
(Nah)
Cinthia and the beast land next to the trembling man. The beast snarled at him as Cinthia slid off and stalked towards him. You aren't very good at hiding, Niel. The man cowered away from her Tell me, where is he located, and I might let you go free.
The man shot pleading eyes towards the strangers once again as he scrambled away, frantically trying to stay out of Cinthia's grasp Please! Help me!
(dang) Tess smirks I have a few tricks up my sleeve, Runner. I'm not all brute.
"Never said you were, but ceiling spikes are not a normal thing a person has to defend themselves against."
Ameria: Looked to see the man …
Tess flicks up her spiked tail Not all people come equipped with a sharp tail. She then looks up, concern etching across her face Something's wrong.
Ragnor: I don't help less I have a good reason
Closes his eyes again
Eve: Looks at her master, then towards the trembling man who was begging to them
Ragnor isn't one to offer free service…less he knows the person or creature
Blight: Suddenly grins, showing his fangs
So, I take it I can eat him then?
Ragnor: Seems to huff
Blight, try to keep from sucking him dry
Blight: Man, you're no fun
"What do you mean?" he asked, sitting up.
Using his diverted attention to her advantage, Cinthia lunges forward, fingers splayed. The man screams, then freezes once her fingers wrap around his throat. Her eyes turn milky white. Neither move a muscle
Tess stood, fully alert. Cin… Something's up. I can hear it.
He got to his feet too, starting to reach for the hearing aids. "Maybe I can tell if I takes these off."
Ragnor: Sighs, turning to glance over
As much as I hate to get involved into things that don't concern me and happen in other worlds, perhaps try a less violent strategy to get the man to talk
Blight: Though if that doesn't work, then fear is always best
Ragnor: I suppose Blight
Eve: Ears lay back
Ragnor, maybe we should stay out of this…
Ragnor: Yea, yea…suppose we could always return home
Tess shook her head No, it's fine. She tilted her head I could hear screaming, and then nothing. I believe I also heard Malaki
"Who?" He frowned. "Is something bad happening, Tess?"
Cinthia pulls back, blinking and disoriented. The man gasps and scrambles away from her. Neither she nor the beast go after him. She flicked her gaze over to Ragnor and the others I may not be mentally present, but I can still hear you. She worked her jaw I didn't hurt him.
Tess bit her lip. Runner, tap the ear piece twice, then ask if everything is okay
