Elena awoke from a night of heavy sleep and no dreams. She removed layers of blankets and put on her large coat, finding she had no tolerance for cold without it. She stepped out and made her way down the stairs to get breakfast. She spotted Nyr and Joy, and waved as she grabbed a small plate of only fruit. Timidly enough, she walked over to them and gave a nod of recognition as to say hi without interrupting them.

 

[Aelin]

She smiled and pulled Elena over -mainly her plate over- and stole a strawberry "Goodmorning!" She said through a mouth full.

 

[Jecklyn]

Banba waved goodnight to Leo, closing the door behind her before sitting on the floor, back against the door. She poked at the charm around her neck, forgetting what it was for, but seeing no reason to take it off. Stretching once more, the shifter dropped to her side, rolling until she was under the great bed, her tail and scales growing in the process. She curled up tightly, tail wrapped around her body and she pulled the cloak she still wore around her shoulders, settling into the floor.


If one looked closely as Banba slept, they could see tiny changes happen to her. Her scales would change shape or colour, her fingers and toes growing or shrinking, hair changing styles. None of the shifts were huge, and hardly noticeable if someone didn't pay too close attention.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr smiled at Elena as she approached them.


" Good morning, I hope you had a good night? " she asked joyfully as she grabbed a roasted wing from the table. She paused for a moment, thinking this being cannibalism... but in the end she just frowned and started to eat the delicious food.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena blinked twice tiredly, as though she was trying to figure out if the other had really taken her fruit. She sat down by the others and casually smiled to them, as though she figured something out.


"Morning, Nyr, I slept well. Joy.." She quickly stole the others crab apple juice, hiding the distasteful cringe as she took a swig. Her smile turned to one of mischief and slight irritation.


"Thanks for last night by the way.. I'll make sure to.. Repay you throughout the next couple days." She said, hinting at the heart prank. It was embarrassing enough, but with Ward it was much worse.

Waking with a startled yowl, Luness shot to all fours, her fur sticking up on end. Her eyes were wide and she quickly looked around the room, itching to escape, but she had no idea what she was running from. Not seeing the healer right away, Luness dropped to the floor and made a beeline for the door to the building, standing up on her hind legs at the last minute so she could throw her good shoulder against the door. The door flew open and Luness dropped back down to all fours, sprinting through the snow in the town, her heart pulsing with adrenaline. The last thing on Luness' mind was the fact that she'd just forgotten her guitar and knapsack in the healer's place. Her injured arm felt much better, but was still sore so Luness had a slight limp despite her sprinting. Not knowing where to go, Luness aimlessly sprinted along the streets of the town, her mind swimming with fear and confusion while a voice she didn't know kept repeating a phrase in her mind. Release the beast within, and strike down the humans where they stand. Luness couldn't even find any humans to attack since most were probably still asleep or indoors, but she struggled to make sense of anything in her current condition.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr looked surprised not knowing what she was talking about. Then she looked at Joy and her, folding her arms together.


" What are you two are up to? " she asked, raising an eyebrow. Seeing the smile on their faces she just got much more curious and even though it might was impolite to pry secrets she was not really interested in this.


" You did something awesome and you left me out of it? " she said, imitating an insulted face.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena looked to Nyr and shook her head. It wasn't awesome in the least. Her smile didn't lose mischief.


"Oh no.. What Joy did wasn't all that great. It's what I'm going to do to her. Can't tell either of you now so you'll know it when it happens" she wasn't usually like this. Having friends though brought out the maniacal personality though.


Avoiding the meat, she stole more food from Joy.


"Either of you heard of a prank? Do those exist here?"

 

[Naeg1]

In the middle of his training, Zelnite noticed Luness run off. 'Why did she run off? And didn't she have two things with her? ' he thought to himself. He decided to go into the room Luness was in, taking her knapsack and her gutar, he ran after her. Curious on why she decided to do this. "Where could she be?" again, talking to himself. Since he was unfamiliar with the city, he repeatedly ran into dead ends. Until finally catching up to her. "Hey, why did you run away? I got you stuff with me"

 

[Lioness075]

Startled at the sound of someone's voice nearby, Luness skidded to a halt, stopping her frantic and erratic sprinting around town. Turning around sharply, Luness saw a male human in her vision. Despite dimly recognizing his voice, Luness let out a snarl at him and began slowly walking to the side of him while staring at him, staying on all fours. Her green and golden eyes were hazy and her teeth showed while she growled at Zelnite, though her injured forearm still was bandaged and had the splint on it so Luness was forced to limp with the lack of full motion in her arm. Sizing him up, Luness decided that a frontal assault wouldn't work so she waited to see what the human would do first.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Prank? " Nyr asked, her eyes widening and looking innocent as a child. She had never heard of that word, maybe it was some kind of human habit of some sort. " Is that a pleasant thing or involves some kind of... bad behavior? "


Finishing her meal she not turned her full attention to Elena. Now she was really curious about what she had to say.

The times that Leo spent in conversation with Lilly always seemed like a fleeting second. But it had been hours sense he had begun and the sun was beginning to rise through the window in the room. He could feel the sun beams brushing his back telling him it was a new day. Slowly he closed his good eye, the green glow fading as it closed. It reopened a little faster, his golden slit eye visible now. He took a great big inhale and then exhaled. He felt new, his energy and muscles restored ready for whatever the day had. He had been so exhausted the night before that he had neglected to take off his armor and tunic. He stood, stretching his arms and legs he mad his way to the door. He picked up his axe and placed it in its holder on his back. He exited the door and began making his way towards the room the food had been in the night before. He passed Banbas door, contemplating if he should rouse her. He decided to let the little one sleep as much as she could. He made his way downstairs and found Elena, Nyr and Joy. "goodmorning my ladies. Did everyone sleep well?"

 

[Naeg1]

"Don't give me that look" He said in a dissapointed voice "Here, I got your stuff" He says before sitting down. He's prepared if Luness would attack her, he was tired from all that running and didn't try to resist.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena chuckled at how innocent Nyr seemed in that respect. Though what she said did seem to loosely cover what a prank was. She nodded slowly, trying to think of a better way to describe it.


"Actually yes. A prank is an action you do to mess with another person. The other person isn't supposed to see it coming and you can't really hurt the other person. Just scare or embarrass them."


 
"Oh, good morning Leo! Did you sleep well?" She asked putting on an innocent face.

 

[Lioness075]

Snarling, Luness took a tentative step towards him and then paused, one paw in the air with a look of uncertainty. She cocked her head at Zelnite, but then refocused and snarled at him as the voice returned in her head, this time shouting the phrase at her. Without hesitation this time, Luness let out a yowl and then took a flying leap towards Zelnite, her claws extended towards him and her jaw wide open to clamp down on whatever limb she managed to grasp when she tackled him. Her mind was clouded over with the presence of someone or something else, and she had temporarily lost control over herself.

 

[DawnAntalios]

As Leo entered she bowed respectfully before him.


" Good morning Leo, we are all honored by your presence. I, for one, had a wonderful night, I hope you did too. "


She then turned back to Elena who explained what exactly a 'prank' was. She was thinking how to best define it in her mind.


" So it is like deception then? " she asked finally " Like a trick you play on others to laugh at their misfortune? That sounds harmless yet humiliating to me. "

 

[Naeg1]

Zelnites eyes widened as he came upon the sudden realization "Its the Chalice" He shouted. After getting pounced he used the blunt side of his blade to push her away. Taking a good length of rope he recklessly charges at Luness. Not trying to hurt her, just targeting the legs and arms


EDITED for Lioness


(Sorry about that, didn't realize lol, I'm still a newbie xD @Lioness075 )

 

[Lioness075]

(Not okay with the above post since you just power played my character to an extent. I didn't even have the chance to fight back before you had my character subdued)

 

[Sleipnir]

Ethan took a breath as he left his room, rubbing his eyes blearily. His hair was a massive mess, more akin to a nest than hair, and his only attempt to contain it consisted of pushing his bangs behind his ears. He stifled a yawn as he sat down somewhere at the breakfast table, and set up his plate, mostly grabbing fruits. He then paused, listening to his new companions.


It seemed to him that no, it hadn't been a dream. He was actually in FableWood.

(@Flutterby I hope you don't mind my summarizing to catch up with morning! If you want me to change something just say so!)


Over the course of the night Alexander walked with Quincy, chatting sometimes, and staying quiet others. It was a nice walk, and the place was fairly expansive. At the pace they went it took nearly all night to explore everywhere, and there were some places which were locked or off-limits! Alexander enjoyed the walk, and found it fairly refreshing. He was glad he was not as tired as the others, because he knew it would make for a long journey after this. He knew he would soon be looking forward to the long rest that awaited after they returned to somewhere he could nest and rest.


Over the night, Anya went back to her room and tried to get rest, but found herself restless. She knew they needed to go, and it kept her awake, so because she couldn't sleep, she got up before sunrise, dawned her dark wool cloak, and left to find the challis, she didn't think ahead, or worry about what would happen on the way or if she ran into trouble, she just left.

 

[Lioness075]

Luness was surprised by the sudden strike by Zelnite's sword and stumbled backwards in a daze, shaking her head and letting out a confused whine. Seeing him charging at her, she quickly jumped to the side and began sprinting away, knowing fully well that she could tire him out by playing cat and mouse. After all, she was on all fours as a lynx and he was merely a human. All she had to do was tire him out and then she could make her move. As Luness sprinted along, snow was kicked up behind her and she cast a quick glance behind herself to see if Zelnite was still in view.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Suddenly a gust of wind blew inside the great hall and whispered to Nyr. She raised her head... as it whispered of danger. Quickly excusing herself she hurried outside to see what the commotion was about. At first she could not see anything so she took flight to observe the town from above. Only then was when she noticed Zelnite dashing away from something big but familiar - Luness . Unsure what to make of this situation she just hovered in the air to observe them.


(@Lioness075 Roger that commander, let us see if this works. )

 

[Lioness075]

(@DawnAntalios Luness just sprinted away from Zelnite and he hasn't declared yet if he's chasing her or what)

 

[Naeg1]

Surprised by the amount of speed Luness has, Zelnite prepared another strike, using most of his power he dashed towards her again with the same target, the legs. Due to the snow decreaing his movement he had a bit of trouble dashing towards her, nearly tripping at the middle of the dash.

 

[Lioness075]

Thanks to her natural snowshoes, her paws, Luness managed to narrowly avoid Zelnite's dash, leaping to the side and then sprinting down a nearby alleyway. She immediately scrambled backwards to stop though, when she realized that she'd found a dead end. Losing traction, Luness took a tumble and ended up rolling head over tail, being a lynx she just has a stubby one, and finally halted in a tangled mess of paws. Leaping back to her feet after shaking the dazed feeling, Luness turned around, ready to either fight or run again.
