"You were unconciousss! The furred creature was aware, and it sseemss that she had been cleanssed aft-ter her injury, thuss, shhe wass at lower rissk. I will tend to her now," and with that, she dropped to her normal stance, and reached for Raven with her lower arms, the upper ones still having thick webbing between them, held in place by her long sharp fingers.

Little better be headed for the front door. Raven thinks. Without putting much thought into Tsi-ka's offer, she nods a quick "yes" and waits to get her shoulder bandaged.

"There we go! That seems oddly specific and horrified enough," Victi sat back,enough for Lisa to sit up if she decided to, tails flicking happily, "That, and you didn't just bite my face off and laugh at me, so that seems like pretty strong proof. Nice to finally meet the real you, Lisa. I'm sure your cat will be happy to see you again, even if the fact that you're here at all kinda sucks for you. My name's Victi, by the way. Victi Aurora Silverfur. I'd say sorceress, but you've probably figured out magic doesn't work here, so it doesn't matter much."

Still probably way too happy about it for Lisa's comfort.

Very quickly, she lifted the cat, and began stringing the material around the cat's chest and shoulders, making a triangular covering over the shoulder and around the chest, sticking to the fur.

"Thhiss will assisst in your healing. Good."

Liliath runned away searching for Lisa “Where are you!” She shouted checking every house every road

But she couldn’t find her “Where are you!?”

"Pleasse! Young one! We must ssearch sslowly and carefully! You have jusst encount-tered dangerouss ssnares here! We musst expect more!" Tsi'ka wailed, desperately. The girl's zeal was admirable, but it needed to be tempered. She mildly regretted not finishing that coccoon.

Sage heard commotion and ran up to Victi and saw what she saw.

Lisa does sit up, and scrambles away from Victi if she can. She would stand, but her knees feel like they're made of water and she can't stop shaking. She takes several deep breaths and struggles to come down from the rush of adrenaline. Between the ragged breaths, she blurts, "What...the HELL. Are you talking about!?" She sees a flash of fiery hair out of the corner of her eye. It's that other girl. "And you..." Glad you're okay, I suppose.

"Thanks, Buggy," Raven says. "Not a fan of how this stuff sticks to my coat, but at least I'm not gonna bleed out." Not that she was the one at a huge risk of dying from blood loss. In fact, that trophy goes to the small child running off looking for who knows what kind of trouble. "Dammit! Little, no!" She 100% regrets stopping Tsi'ka from finishing that cocoon.

And, quite frankly, if they don't catch the child before she escapes their sight, they might lose her. As she runs, the townscape shifts to confound any pursuers, except for the eye-less thing with way too many teeth. Streets disappear and buildings rearrange their faces to prevent Liliath's rescue. The thing hears her cries and launches another hunt, stalking her through the streets as she searches for the girl like her mom, but better. The scent of blood, albeit mostly masked by sterile antibiotics, has the creature excited. It can barely contain its eagerness as it follows her on silent feet.

Liliath stopped next to a building and started crying loudly , she decided to sit down. Where was Lisa when she needed her?

Victi lets Lisa get up. No point distracting herself by dealing with the struggling.

"The thing that killed all these people? Other than the traps, obviously, is a type 1 shapeshifter. It can mimic appearance perfectly, mimic voice perfectly, though not scent, apparently. It showed up looking like you earlier. It's fast, tough, and seems to want to murder everything all the time, and is real cheery about it. Your cat is somewhere and kinda freaked out about the whole thing. Oh, and the town seems to rearrange itself randomly when we aren't looking. So... that's a thing," she explains nonchalantly, standing up and looking at Lisa.

Why had she run off? It was... wrong. not right. The young one knew that there was danger here. Traps, the beast, and possibly even pestilence left in the corpses! Why would she leave her protection? What sense was there in this? There had been enough patience for now. Her distant sobs became audible. She was lost. Again. Or possibly injured. Tsi'ka-ul began to stalk towards the sound, angrily. This girl had FEIGNED respect for her. Had DARED to not only present an untruth to the Hive, but presented an untruth of the very thing that would SAVE THE UNGRATEFUL ONE'S LIFE.

As she began to depart, she rattled, "Creat-ture Raven. You will come with me. We will find her. We will teach her obedience as I should have before." There was something ominous about that phrase.

Liliath wasn’t sure if she liked Quarantiner anymore , she was weird , but also kind. Liliath was hoping to see Lisa again. She stood back up and keeper walking “Where are you Lisa!”

Raven picks up the distant sobs, and, pricking her ears toward the sound, says, "We should hurry." But she's not very sure she wants Tsi'ka to meet the girl, not after what the buggy just said.

No, it's not nessecarily a good idea to use the same shape twice in a row.

But Vincent likes the idea of giving the sweet girl the person she wants...

...then laughing at the betrayal in her eyes as the person she wants stabs her through the gut.

So, after checking that there are no sensitive noses nearby (it had also cleaned itself after its introduction) it shows itself, making a show of looking around frantically before spotting Liliath.

"There you are! Are...are you okay?"

“I missed you.” She cried as she hugged ‘Lisa’ “where were you?” She cried “In a house they shoot weird things on me .” “And then they put me in a cocoon.” She clearly was a little bit to emotional to talk normally

It kneels to the child's level and returns the hug. "I was worried about you," it whispers. Its fingers brush the coarse webbing covering the injury. "Who...who did this to you, girl?" You know, it'd be pretty fun to tear the webbing off and dig its claws into her fresh wounds.

"Wha...wa-wait." Lisa slowly stands. Her knees buckle but she recovers. The girl's gaze meet Victi's. She's still scared of the fox woman, but there's a new, angry gleam in her eyes and as she speaks, her voice rises and cracks. "Somebody did-somebody stole my form to murder people with it? And my cat is here? Raven, here!?" She runs shaking hands through her hair and furiously paces back and forth. "That- Aaargh!" She stops, looking up. One hand covers her face while she curses, then she takes a deep breath and looks at Victi. "I-I'm fine, but damn this place." And damn you too.

She's not brave enough to insult Victi out loud, but after getting attacked, threatened, then told that her form was stolen and the architecture wants them all dead, she decides that she doesn't like Victi very much. Furthermore, the fact her shape is one being used leads her to assume that she's been getting stalked for a long time. Lisa only knows one type of shapeshifter: the one that needs to spend years learning to morph into a single, specific shape.

"Raven my new best friend and i whee in a hosue and the house shoot weird stuff at us." she sighed deep "Why didn't you come with me before." "We are best friends right?" she sighed deep , Lisa and her where ebst friends why the hell didn't Lisa come with her
