Broken and Mint:
"Back to the forest? But that means more bugs and monsters," Prompto moaned, though he was still running alongside Noctis after Mika. "Well, have fun with the falling buildings then," Noctis teased, smirking a bit. "I'm coming, I'm coming," was the reply.
Hozuki had let dog Shiro down to the ground now that they were outside and the dog was awake, as they both moved faster this way. The fluffy white dog stood out even in the darkness, and almost seemed to be enjoying the run.
~~~
Mint:
"Sorry sorry!" Calli blurted out, quickly getting to her feet once more. She clapped her hands together in an apologetic gesture, and bowed her head a bit. "I promise I will try not to fall again!" Grabbing the snail once more, she placed it on her shoulder before looking to Hyuse to lead the way.

broken and Kuragehime Kid started running with the group, though not before picking up Conan (his protests were ignored). He looked around, searching for a place he could climb up to higher ground. He couldn't launch this hang-glider from the level he was now. "If being in a new world wasn't bad enough," he growled. His teeth ground together. The ground shook again and a building started to lean dangerously. I need to get out of here, though Katio. Conan pulled on his sleeve and pointed at a small building. It was most likely meant to be a small business, but it was low laying and the earthquake wasn't affecting it as much as it was the larger building. "That will work!" said Katio. He ran toward it and jumped through a broken window. He had to be careful on landing not to rip his cape. "There has to be a way to the roof," muttered the thief. Conan looked at him tiredly and with as much sarcasm he could mustered he said, "See that door in the corner marked 'Stairs'?" Kid shifted the boy around so he had was holding onto his shoulders. "I'm a little tired right now, cut me some slack." A few seconds later he launched himself from the roof. Kid hung from the hang-glider by a sturdy wire and Conan hug from his belt. Conan didn't look happy and was really uncomfortable. This seemed to wake him up more then before because he noticed that the tilting building from before was falling. "Watch out!" he cried. (Monster post...oops.) -- Hime: (Alright, yah, I'm kind of tempted to make that fire Hyuse started in that building get a little...uh...bigger. But we have an earthquake and really don't need more chaos. Unless someone says otherwise, that is.) Hyuse bolted. He hardly waited to see if Calli was following. His cloak billowed out behind him as he carefully hopped around the rubble. "The forest is dangerous, that's where I ran into that big bug. But at this point they'd be easier to fight than falling rock." He noticed movement out of the corner of his eye and said, "Mind your head. That light is going to fall." The neighbor didn't have time to point as the streetlight was shaken out of its fixture. (Ah, hope no one minds that I'm causing so many falling objects. ^^' )

(No where near the size of your post xD and I'll probably wait for Hime)
Mikaela wasn't even bothering about waiting for the others in the small group, he just walked at a continuous pace, glancing over his shoulder every now and then. He was now beginning to wonder why he was helping them in he first place, but he kept that thought to himself as he continued.
Sora and Shiro were basically running to try to keep up, dodging some rubble as it fell down. As they passed the dog, Sora didn't slow down but Shiro did, matching paces with the animal. "Why go into the city to begin with when it was safer in the forest?" She asked, mostly talking to herself as she shook her head. "Maybe now the group could find the makeshift camp that was made."

Yeah, it's been fine today ]] Broken and Mint:Prompto and Noctis were running in silence now, focusing their energy on dodging falling debris. A crack appeared on the ground behind the two and was steadily catching up to them, headed straight for Prompto's feet. Noctis noticed this and grabbed a hold of his friend's arm to yank him out of the way just in time. "Ack, thanks!" Prompto gasped, staring with wide eyes as the crack split into even more. "Don't mention it," Noctis murmured. "If the shaking has reached the forest, however, we may need to watch for falling trees," Hozuki warned, the thought only just now coming to mind. ~~~ Mint:Calli sprinted after the neighbor, though was just barely managing to keep up with him. "Uh, sure, fighting is much easier," she murmured, her eyes flicking back and forth along the ground to avoid tripping on things. At Hyuse' warning about the streetlight, Calli's arms went over her head (because that'll totally help) and she put in a little more effort to run faster.

(That's good.)
Hime and broken (I'll just leave that here even though they are kind of out of range by now):
Kid managed to turn the hang-glider just in time to avoid the falling building. "Thanks," he said gratefully to the detective. "Just get us out of here," said Conan. Kid pulled up higher, to the best of his ability. The wind was blowing in the wrong direction and he was having to compensate for a side wind. Conan looked down and back at the fleeing ground. "Prompto narrowly missed falling into a crack." The thief gritted his teeth. "Don't move, you'll unbalance me." But he was a little worried for the group. He looked to his right, seeing if the smoke was still going. It wasn't. He didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. "We need to find a way out of this mess," he muttered.
--
Hime:
Hyuse turned a corner. "Were nearly there." When he had looked for the wood he had found a easy way to get to the forest. It was probably safer there, even if it was full of giant bugs and falling trees. He jumped another hole, also leading to the sewer. "Jump!" he said. Stopping on the other side, he watched to see if she would make the jump.

Mint:
Calli turned the corner after Hyuse and stopped for a moment to catch her breath, leaning against the remains of a wall. When her pulse had calmed enough, she looked up in time to see that the neighbor was still going. She scrambled after him, but skidded to a halt at the edge of the jump. She looked to Hyuse on the other side with wide uncertain eyes, he had made it look so easy. "I dunno..." she whimpered, looking down and shying away from the edge.

Hime: The neighbor growled a little. "Look, just jump!" He was prepared to catch her if necessary, but he really hoped it wasn't. This girl was nerve-racking to say the least. The ground gave a small tremble and water started to leak out of an exposed pipe. It probably hooked up to a river somewhere or something. "Jump or I'm leaving," said Hyuse. And I just may, he thought.

Mint:
"I'm coming! I'm coming! I just need to mentally prepare myself!" Calli said, staring at the distance. She balled her hands into fists and gave a nod before backing up several steps. "Ok, here goes nothing!" After double-checking the distance she charged forward and jumped, arms flailing as she went through the air. As expected, her landing on the other side was rather clumsy but she sprung to her feet almost right away and dusted off her knees. "Ok! Ready!"

(Sorry ok here)
Mikaela soon slowed down as they finally reached the edge of the forest after some time of running. He glanced back, seeing the group was keeping up. "Yes, what Hozuki said, watch for falling trees. I don't want any humans or demons dying on my watch," he said with little emotion, then turned around as he led the way into the forest. So far everything wasn't as bad as it was in the city...

Hello! Perfect timing! xD]]
Hozuki glanced back to the dog. "Be careful, Shiro," he said, and got an affirmative bark in response. He had the spiked club in hand, ready to swing in case of any more falling objects. Or monsters, either would work.
"What about dogs?" Prompto asked jokingly, glancing ahead at the vampire. He snickered softly, earning a roll of the eyes from Noctis.

(Yeah^^ hello!)
"Animals too. Don't die or I'll never hear the end of it," Mikaela grumbled, glancing back at them. "hokes aside, someone in this group said so,etching about a camp or clearing or something? Would they like to show us to it? It might be safer there if there's not as many trees."
Sora nodded, looking from both Shiros, then to Hozuki. "Yeah, I said that! We'll show you!" He took the lead now, gesturing the demon forward. "If we can find it..." he paused, looking over at the demon. "Do you remember which way we came from?"

Hime: Hyuse slowed as the forest finally came into view. "Nice you see that you can jump at least." He looked at the growing edge of the forest. The trees shook a little as a fading tremor. "The earthquake might be fading now, so you can probably stop running." He looked behind him. "Are you okay?" he asked hesitantly.
--
Broken and Hime:
"This way," said Kid, pushing his way through the bushes. "I saw it when me and Conan were flying over." He pointed deeper into the forest. "I started a fire," he said. His white cloths were now a little grass stained in places. He had a couple of leaves in his hair.

Broken and Mint:
Hozuki glanced to Sora as Conan spoke up, and then to the dog. Shiro then walked up alongside Conan and sniffed around, eventually finding the familiar scent. "Yeah this way!" he barked, tail wagging.
"Huh, I don't feel the shaking as much," Prompto said with relief. Noctis nodded, and the two of them followed Conan through the bushes.
~~~
Mint:
Calli nodded and dropped her speed down to a walking pace. The last tremor made her a bit uneasy, but that soon faded away. "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine!" she replied, giving Hyuse a thumbs up. There was still some dirt on her knees, her shoes were scuffed, and her buns were falling lose, but she stood there grinning. She was always one to quickly get over things.

-- Hime: "Good," said Hyuse. He turned back to the path and hopped a fallen tree before entering the forest officially. "Come on, before another building falls." He stepped into the shadows of a tree. His head nearly brushed the nearest branch and he placed his hand on the trunk of the tree. Closing his eyes, he tried to see if the ground was still trembling.

Hi!]]

Mint:
"Coming!" Calli sang, trotting after the neighbor. She let out a little noise when she nearly bumped into Hyuse when he stopped. She looked up at him and blinked, raising an eyebrow. Taking a few steps around the neighbor, she noticed his hand against the tree and his eyes were closed. "Whatcha doing?" she asked, leaning a bit closer.

Post by mintedstar/fur on Feb 16, 2017 0:51:49 GMT -5
(Hello! How are you doing? ) Hime: "You making noise doesn't help," said Hyuse, his eyes scrunching up. "I think that the earthquake is just about over. Thankfully." He took his hand off the tree. "Now all we have to worry about is surviving the night." The neighbor looked back at the city. It was still to close for his liking. If one of the outer building collapsed... He walked around Calli. "We need to get deeper in." (Geeze, Hyuse. You hardly talk to her without giving a command. )

I'm alright, a bit tired tho xD]] How about you?]] Sorry I poofed!]]
Mint:
"Ah, sorry," Calli murmured, placing her hands over her mouth for a moment and followed quietly after him for a few steps. "D-Deeper?" She asked, looking around at the trees as they went along. Where she grew up was a giant forest but it was much more... friendly than this one.
That's ok, Calli needs strict people in her life xD]]

Sora and Shiro both began to follow after the dog. "That's good! Lead the way, Shiro!" Sora muttered, trying not to get tripped up in the underbrush. Shiro looked over at Prompto. "Looks like moving to the forest was a good idea, however lets hope the aftershock won't be worse."

(Hello. I'm here now. I'm doing well, Hime.) broken and Hime: Kid pushed his way threw the underbrush and finally the smell of the fire greeted his nose. "Conan's gone to sleep again. It's really late." He looked at the sky. "I wonder how far away dawn is." It felt like he had been in this world for ages. He had to remind himself that this was only the first day. What's tomorrow going to be like, he thought. -- Kuragehime"Better than out near the city. If we are lucky we'll be able to find a place that will provide protection against any creatures that are around." Hyuse started walking again, stepping over tree branches and roots. He hopped over a fallen tree and looked around. "This is better." He pointed to the cover that the nearest bushes provided. "I'm stopping here for the night." He left the end of that sentence open for Calli to leave. (Should we think about skipping to the morning or should some horrors wait in the night? )

That's good! ]] Broken and Mint:The dog glanced happily back at Sora, and let out a bark when he also caught the scent of the fire. Hozuki stopped beside him, taking in a deep breath. "Indeed, it seems we are nearly there," he murmured. Prompto gulped. "I don't want to think about that right now..." he said, replying to Shiro's comment. "I just want a nice pause in the excitement..." ~~~ Mint:Instead of taking the hint, Calli trailed after Hyuse into the undergrowth. "Oh, yeah, this place looks good," she commented, looking around. She found a soft looking patch of grass and sat herself down before looking up at the sky. Her initial fear of going deeper into the forest had passed, and now she actually seemed a bit excited. "I've never camped without a tent before," she commented. "Have you?" Think of Calli like the gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe, she won't leave unless forcefully removed... or maybe a nicer way of saying it would be she's like moss on a tree trunk... xD]] Hmm, I'm always down for more bad things happening, but maybe all the charries could use a break right now xD]]

Hime:
(Hyuse needs more of her type in his life. I'm sure he'll get used to her... in a year or ten...)
"No. I've never been camping," answered Hyuse. And he never had been. But that didn't mean he hadn't survived out in the wilderness before. But that had just been his life. He looked around until he found a pile of leave litter. He just flopped down after that. "Get to sleep," he said. "It's late and I'll keep first watch. I'll probably wake you if anything happens."

Mint:
"You've never been camping? It's fun, like this only with a campfire and marshmallows, and a tent and blankets..." Calli went on, her voice trailing off at the end as she yawned. She smiled a little, still watching the sky, as her thoughts traveled to her parents. She reached for the snail once more. "Maru, guitar." The mollusc took the form of the instrument, and Calli glanced to Hyuse. "Is it ok if I play a little?" she asked, though her fingers had already started strumming.

(Ah, even this guy can be humorous at times.)
Hime:
Hyuse covered his ears. But he didn't protest or move away. For him, this was almost a way of granting permission. The sky was clear and he hoped that there would be no aftershocks tonight. He was tired and the music, which was good, at least to his ears, didn't help. But he had said he would keep first watch, and he would. He turned his head away from the girl, looking out into the dark forest. Nothing moved or made a sound. Finally, he asked. "What is your world like?"

Mint:
Calli looked up from the guitar, and paused her strumming. "My world? It's huge and amazing," she started, eyes sparkling. "It's mostly ocean, with thousands and thousands of islands all over, and each one is different. My home island has giant trees and bubbles floating everywhere. You can use them for a lot of things, like rides, carrying things, they're sooo much fun." The strumming started again, it was an old pirate song, one of her favorites. "And there are pirates, like hundreds of them, and marines. My dad is one of the marines... what about your world?" she asked.
Sorry I'm poofy!]]

(So am I, so don't worry about it.)
"Somehow I figured something like bubbles or sparkles would be in you description of your world," said Hyuse. It was meant as an insult, but he wasn't to sure Calli would take it as one. "It's a large military state," said Hyuse in response to Calli's question. "The largest." This was said with a bit of pride. He wondered if anyone from his world was looking for him. Could they possibly reach him here?

(I just wanted to check, did everyone want to skip to morning?)
Shiro shrigged with a little sigh. "Sorry, but it's true," she commented softly before speeding up a little to catch up with her brother. They both soon walking into the clearing with the campfire and grinned. "We're here, but I think I'm going to sleep," Sora replied with a yawn, looking over at the group before heading closer to the fire and sat down.
Mikaela stood at the edge of the clearing with crossed arms. He glanced around before looking up at the sky. "Everyone should get some sleep. I'll watch for anything."

Mint:
As to be expected, Calli giggled at Hyuse's comment on her home. She listened to him speak and nodded slightly. She had grown up on several marine bases, her family moving each time her father got promoted or restationed. "So, is it like one giant base that everyone lives in?" she asked, describing the image that came to mind.
