“Bye !” Liliath sticked her tongue out “She is weird .” She walked to the house “Come let’s get inside.” She kicked against the door and it opend . She walked happily inside

Hazely- woke up with a series of groans and string of swears, where in the hell was she!?!?
Grunting she pushes up into a sitting position, bushing magenta locks out of green eyes as she looks around, taking stock of the sistuation.

Well..so far she had no clue where she was or how she had gotten here but sitting in the middle of the street seemed a bad place to remain. So with minimal effort combat booted feet are gained and she begans to explore. Switfly noting this place was off and different than where she had just been, so steps began to hold more caution as she wondered this odd city.

Lisa seriously considers pleading for Sage to stay, but she realizes that she can't force the girl to cooperate with them nor is it technically any skin off of her neck if something happens to a random stranger. She follows the excitable child to the house, laughing in spite of the horror surrounding them when Liliath kicks open the barely-closed door. Before she enters the house, she looks back and thinks she sees another figure walking alone in the rain: another girl, with...is that dark pink hair? As tempted as she is to call out to her, she keeps her mouth shut and goes inside, slamming the door closed in something of a panic.

When Sage enters the building, she's greeted with an empty living room and a polished oak door across from the entrance. The door is set in a faded floral wallpaper. The entire room has a stale scent to it and the far wall is riddled with small, ragged holes.

Raven crouches on the other side of that oak door. the spikes that'd tried and failed to turn her into a hairy kabob had long since receeded into the wall but the door remains shut. She hears the outside door open and shut and she sighs with relief at the thump, thump, thump of footsteps crossing the floor.

She paws at the door and meows desperately, then goes on to say,"Hey, you out there!"

“Hey!” She waved . Liliath immidatly walked to the kitchen “Cookied where are you?” She opend the fridge but instead of cookies she found a choloate bar. She jumped on a wooden chair

Sage heard a cat meow, then someone called out to her right after the meowing. She looked at the door in which the voice came from curiously and she opened it, only to see a little cat sitting on the other side. "Well, at least you can't disrespect me." She said and knelt down and pet the cat gently on the head with a little smile. The rudeness of the little girl was still fresh in her mind, but Sage was a cat person, so a cat could always cheer her up, even grumpy ones.

Hazely kept on wondering the odd and now very creepy city streets. After stumbling over the third dead body she decided perhaps not being out in the open was best. So with cautious steps she began allowing green gaze to rove among the houses and decided to knock upon one of the doors.

After doing so a step back was issued and stance was a bit tensed in case whomever was on the other side happened to be of the less friendly type.

Victi smelled dead things. Granted, they weren't her, so that was.... Good? Hopefully. She stood up, feeling very sore. She remembered a.... Big. Big thing. She and Ni, fighting it.... Ni! She looked around, frantically. No, he wasn't there. She'd know his fur anywhere. Good that he wasn't among the dead, but still. Crud. Well, she'd.... Hopefully been through worse? Right? Sure.

Whatever happened, she could try to get on coms with the 'Storm and.... Her earpeice was dead. Lovely. She sighed, and brushed the.... There was dust on her fur. She pinched the bridge of her nose, and tried casting a simple light. Predictably, nothing happened.

"Wonderful, all defensive magic down.... No illusions, no disintegrations, no keeping my fur clean the easy way, tech is.... Dead. And.... Oh.". There was still.... Something. Energy still fell into her body from the void winds, thankfully ever-present. That was why she couldn't feel that this place was wrong. Just felt like some of the more secure facilities she'd visited. Not that she could use it for anything other than.... Wait.

She quietly blessed her ancestors for their evolution, and the forest for all of its madness, as she felt the change in voltage across her body. No magic, but as long as she had energy, biology could handle the rest, at least in term of the lightning. Sure, she couldn't shape it, but it might be a helpful way to remind people not to touch.

Well, that was good.... Now what about the swor-- nope. Well, even if she had been able to call it, it might not be.... Portable here. Wings were stuck being out, too.... Mixed bag on that one.

Her ears perked up, listening. She swore she heard..... Something. Voices? Well, that would be worth checking out. Either allies, or a way to work her frustration out. She tested her muscles, thanking evolution again when she felt her body carry energy into them, and began cautiously moving through the streets.

A sound that wasn't language, and then a pair of voices. Now that was very interesting. Victi crep along, less concerned aboutt being seen, with her bright white fur, no magic, and no snow she wasn't exactly invisible, but being heard still seemed bad in this quiet place. She took note of a few corpses that might have something useful, to come back too later.

There was a house ahead, with someone crouched down in front of it. Likely one of the voices, interacting with the animal. Maybe. She picked up her pace ever so slightly, still staying as quiet as she could, which was fairly quiet, coming up into view of the door...

After surviving a death trap and meeting a friendly face, Raven's as far from grumpy as any creature could get. She darts into the living room and launches herself at Sage's leg, wrapping her front legs around the girl's knee and welcoming all of the head pets with a deep, comforting purr.

Rendered speechless by relief, she clings to the girl's leg until she catches a glimpse of a tall, white figure stalking toward them. Raven's purr dies and she pulls away from the girl. She stares silently at the figure as the fur on her back rises with mounting fear and suspicion. She has never seen a fox woman before and is rendered frozen as curiosity battles with her(admittedly weak) self-preservation instincts.

Accepting that she had been noticed, Victi stood up to her full height, stretched, and openly walked towards them, with a confident gait made slightly strange by her digitigrade legs.

Lisa watches Liliath snatch a piece of candy from a broken fridge and sits in a wooden chair at a table across from the child. Untrustful of pretty much everything around them, she reaches to take away the old food but pauses with her hand halfway over the table. The kid probably wouldn't understand why she's not allowed to eat mysterious candy and Lisa needs her to be in a good mood if she wants to keep her sanity.

Her arm falls to rest on the table and she leans back in her chair. With a deep breath, she says, "I need you to listen to me for a few minutes, okay?" She waits for Liliath to nod her head or say yes or do something to express that she understands, but first, she hears a knock at the door.

Lisa jumps, startled to her feet. She looks at the girl, whispers "stay right here" with a finger held over her mouth, and creeps toward the door. She pulls her dagger from its sheath and throws the door open. Hazely is met with a blade aimed at her nose and the only-slightly wavering stare of an unhuman woman ready to defend herself and the small child from whatever monster left those corpses to rot on the streets.

"What do you want?"

“Hey where you going!” Liliath wasn’t sure what to do know , she needed to go after her new ‘friend’ . She quickly runned after Lisa “You can’t just leave me.”

Sage noticed the cat get nervous and turned around and stood up, seeing this white figure come out of no where. It was a fox girl. Was that really a living thing? How could someone be half animal half human, she was so confused. "What do you want?" Sage asked the figure.

"Good, the important question first. To not be here. I'm hoping that you feel the same way" She answered, her many tails rippling once in a vertical wave. "It sounded like there are at least two of you here, right?" she asked, leaning to look past the girl and into the dark doorway, her pupils dilating in those weird, double irised eyes.

Hazely quickly held her hands up in surrender, “woah, uhh just wanted a place to lay low, have you seen it out here?..place is crawling with dead bodies...anyywayy iam uhh Hazely and i come in peace.” Her tone is somewhat drawled and almost monotone as she hitches thumbs into pockets and rocks back on her heels.

Ready to run if this girl? Tried to stab her, she maybe a fairly decent scrapper but deffently did not want a blade in her gut.

Raven blinks. Two people here? Does the skewered skeleton in the other room count as a second person? She turns her head and glances into the house. She imagines the skeleton strolling out of the room, rattling a friendly greeting by clacking its bare, yellowed jawbone against its broken skull.

The thought makes her laugh, a much too human sound coming from a small animal.

Then it clicks: these two strangers don't know she can talk.

"Oh, yeah. Hey there," she looks up at the white fox woman, her yellow eyes narrowed. Something between an amused smile and a sneer curls her lips.

Victi looked down at the small creature, twitched an ear quizzically, and then simply replied, "Interesting. Hello." She was surprised such a small creature with such a small skull, in spite of what the fur would suggest, she knew what fur could do, could actually support that much intelligence, but she'd honestly seen stranger. Well, possibly stranger.

Lisa hears Liliath shout and groans when the tiny footsteps of a panicked child grow louder until the girl stands right be her side. "I told you to stay in the other room." Damn this little girl. She sighs and puts her free arm in front of the child to block her way out of the house, in case she suddenly feels like greeting the stranger.

Speaking of whom, the stranger throws her hands into the hair in surrender, which prompts Lisa to lower her weapon enough to show that she has no plans to stab anyone. At least not yet. "Alright, Hazely." That name feels bizarre on her tongue. She steps back into the house, gently pushing Liliath back with her. Her ears are almost flat against the sides of her head. She looks the pink-haired girl up and down in search of weapons.

“Hey!” She tried to wave at the stranger , but then she already got pushed now back inside the house

“What is wrong?” She asked concerned “Hey!” She shouted angry “What’s the problem?” She looked around “What are you searching?” Liliath started jumping on the couch .

“We should go home instead of staying here.”
