Xiana was deep in thought. Suddenly she felt Rita hop on her head and she lost her trance of thought. She looked up at Markal. "Oh, sorry. I'm Xiana" she says as she reaches up and pats Rita's head.

Rita emitted a...purr?...yes, a purr...as the young girl patted her head. She looked over to Markal, her giggle sounding off in their minds. "Do you think we should all go now?"

Markal nodded, his mood mellowing as he remembered just where he was, or rather, that he had no idea where he was. He reached his hand up to his shoulder in the familiar habit of adjusting his backpack's shoulder strap, but it wasn't there. It was gone when he woke up, but fortunately he didn't seem to need it so far.

"Ok. But what about El?" Xiana looks back at him.

Rita jumped down from Xiana's head and shifted back to her humanoid form. "Well, Ely's coming too, right?" (I don't think his RPer is online) She canted her head. It seemed she'd already 'nicknamed him.'

Out of the corner of her eye, the Kyurae girl caught sight of something. An orb-like object floating along a nearby path to the west. She turned to follow it in her curiosity. It was a dull gray and seemed rather large. "Huh..."

posting after the next person ))

Kk~ Wb!))

Markal saw her interest and followed her line of sight. "Hmmm..." His curiosity got the better of him and he shifted completely into his tiger form. It was a little small, not quite full grown. His padded feet made no sound as he slinked over towards the orb. He was pretty much defenseless in his human form but at least as a tiger, he had teeth and claws.

Elra looked up to Markal and smiled. "Wow that's pretty cool." He said referring to his ears, however he'd drop his jaw once again as he formed into a full on tiger. "Awesome." He said with a big smile on his face. He'd walk over to Markal and poke him. "Hey uh, can I get on your back?" He asked him as his ears wiggled up and down.

Xiana stands up and cautiously walks toward the orb, walking side by side with Rita. "What is that thing..." Her eyes never loses sight of the orb as she walks closer and closer to it.

damnit I forgot about the orb, sorry ))

Elra looks to the orb curiously, his ears perking up as he gazed upon it. (( Adding that to my post ))

Markal flicked his ears in Elra's direction but other than that didn't do much to answer. He couldn't in this form though, not like Narita. He kept his eyes intently on the orb. He sniffed the air, trying to catch some sort of scent on it.

Rita followed after the floating orb. "I'm not sure.." she said softly as she followed the strange thing. She reached out to touch it, but it floated back away from her, quickly going out of her hand's reach.

She looked to her companions and frowned. "Do ya think it's dangerous? It looks kinda funny, doesn't it?" she said, continuing to follow it along the pathway. It was growing darker around them. Was it night?

Elra smiled and climbed aboard Markal's back anyway, he figured he probably wouldn't mind with him being so small and light and all. He'd look toward Rita and scratch his head. "I don't know, it doesn't LOOK dangerous... but..." He didn't finish his sentence, he just didn't seem to know what to say about this orb of light. "Maybe we should touch it." He suggested.

Markal tried pouncing on it, but it avoided it as easily as it had avoided Narita. Almost like it was playing with them. He was careful to keep from jostling Elra on his back too much as he jumped.

Rita canted her head as the group continued after the dull gray orb. She drew nearer and jumped up. As it was dodging Markal, it luckily went backward and straight into Rita's grasp. "GOTCHA!" she exclaimed.

She could hear a faint muttering from the orb now that they were close. "Hey, listen, guys..." She knelt and held it between all three of them. It seemed if they drew closer, they'd understand its voice.

It was a broken voice that came from the orb. It seemed more like the ramblings of someone whom had broken under pressure.

"It's too much. I can't take it. I can't take it. I'm tired of this. Ju-Just one cut. One cut. That's all it'll take. It'll-It'll be over now. One cut, one slash. B-Blood. It'll be over now..."

There was the sound of a slash and a running liquid. The orb was turning a bloody red in Rita's hands. ((Let me know if this is too dark for anyone, heh.))

Elra tensed as Markal jumped up, but managed to stay on. "Phew." he said as they landed. He noticed Rita jumped up at the orb and caught it in her grasp. "Good job Rita!" He said with a big smile. He'd then listen to the voices and his face would turn pale. "I... I don't like that, get that away from me!" He shouted as he looked away from the orb.

Markal's ears flattened against his head and his hair stood up. He was ready to bat the orb away from Narita and attack it if it decided to turn his self harm into hurting others. He growled at the strange broken spirited orb, warning it.

Rita's eyes widened at the thing's distorted words. It was melting away now, in a puddle of red. She wanted to throw it, but she couldn't seem to get it off of her.

Suddenly, however, it was gone as quickly as it had appeared before them.

Rita's hands dropped to her sides. "Wh-What was that thing? It turned into...Th-That was blood...wasn't it? What was it talking about?!"

Elra gulped. "Bl-blood!? From that thing, what happened!?" He asked with his face looking terrified, he didn't get a very good look at the orb, since he was so scared, it reminded him so much of that terrible nightmare he had not too long ago.
