(Oops, guess I'm a bit slow XD )
"Brothers!" Ravage's arms were outstretched to greet his comrades. They were clearly not blood brothers, but Ravage respected them as if they were. He addressed both of them at the same time. "You know the mission. Find the fox. You two, search the alleyways. I'll check the rest of the shops." The two split from Ravage.
(Anyone want to volunteer to rp either of the 2 new guards? If not, I can do them!)

(Yeah, ikr?! He just has a good time with life! x] ) Fayne noticed her smile and immediately straightened up. "They call me Fayne!" He bowed elaborately, folding back his ears. As he was bowing, he snatched up two tiny wildflowers growing from the dirt road. "For you, Astra!" He held them in her face, smiling, and cocked his head to the side. (xD Sorry I keep responding an then leaving, this week is super busy and tomorrow I'm getting my wisdom teeth out so I have no idea if I'll even be able to get on) Astra laughed at his elaborate bow, he was certainly a goofy one. A crimson blush flew to her cheeks as he offered the wildflowers to her. She smiled brightly and accepted them with a small laugh. "You seem to aim for charm" She said to him lightly with a smile as she turned to the cart and organizing her crops to look nice. (You're fine, we all get busy! ;D ) "Well, you know, it just kind of happens when there's a beautiful lady in front of me!" He winked at her and leaned casually on one end of the cart. The cart tipped over and sent the previously organized vegetables flying into the air.

(Thanks ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/lNtnPuxeCzkaKMNYVXVv.gif) ) Astra's crimson cheeks went a shade darker and she ducked her head, trying to focus on her vegetables. That is until they all went flying. She laughed and bit her lip to hold in the rest of her laughter. Shaking her head to clear away the giggles, she looked at him and grinned, "Maybe you should focus a bit more on staying upright rather then charming strange women" She teased lightly, bending down to pick up the spilled vegetables.

Arabella started backing away from Jag, terrified. "What did you do..." her breathing started to become faster. She turned back to her human form "What did you do?!" She whipped out her sword, "You better have a good reason or so help me I will...I will...okay, I don't know what I'll do but I'll think of something!" Her heart was pounding. She's never killed anyone before and taking down Jag would not be easy (Fern has too many characters in one spot xD ) Jag- This looked really bad. And it was terrifying to be threatened for once, rather than being the one doing the threatening. Fortunately for Jag, he didn't actually commit the crime. He poked Vince with his foot.

He picked up some vegetables as he spoke. "Where are you headed with all these vegetables, anyways?"

Arabella noticed Vincent open his eyes when Jag poked him, "You're...not dead?" She was really embarrassed now. "I thought you...you should have said something! Nevermind. I need to keep track of Ravage." She went back to her clouded leopard form and climbed up the building. Hot with embarrassment. Looks like Arabella needed to learn a thing or two about trust. She dashed over the roof tops until she was on the builing closest to Ravage

(I know how to make a really yummy spaghetti as well. Sadly nobody wants to eat it as often since the stuff to make it costs a lot one time around for one batch and I'm not so sure everyone here is a fan of it anyway. Oh well, I like it and that's all that matters XD. Maybe if I get ambitious enough I'll post a thread of recipes sometime here so other people can try them, I know a really good eggless cake recipe )

Jag was also embarrassed, because he didn't answer right away and confused poor Arabella. He loved looking powerful, but he didnt like scaring his friends like that.
Meanwhile, Ravage was rummaging through the general store, throwing people aside and shouting for the fox to reveal himself.

(Oh man, I love baking! And anything pasta! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/Zk1a5XUEHw6Q8FG1L5Qy.gif) Breakfast?! What time zone are you in?! xD ) Suddenly, one of Ravage's two guards checked into the alley. He almost continued to walk past it, but then did a double take and took in the scene. "HEEEEYYYY!!" He called across town. "OVER HERE!!" Within moments the three menacing figures stood at the mouth of the alley. The figures were dark, silhouhetted against the setting sun. Ravage stepped forward. "Jag?" He raised an eyebrow curiously. "And here I thought you were a weakling." He approached them, his two lackeys close behind.

(You know how to live a good life ^-^ But what about mac and cheese?! Woah, awesome! I'm in eastern so it's 3pm here.)
Ravage walked up close to Jag and glared at him for a moment, then turned to Vince and eyed him up and down. His evil eye glittered furiously. "You killed him? On your own?"
"Yeah," Jag answered in his deep voice. "He, uh, beat me up when I wasn't looking and I wanted to get my revenge on him. You know, to keep the king's guard looking strong to the peasants." He tried his best to still look angry, to try to hide his terrible poker face.
Ravage turned away from him. "Take care of his body. I want all the peasants to know what happens when they mess with the royal guard." He paused. "Wait." He returned to Vince's body and sniffed him with his rat nose. "Ack! I can't even be sure he's dead, all I can smell is ale. Have you been drinking? Go take care of this thing. Make sure he's dead. And- for heaven's sake, go clean yourself up!" Ravage strutted out of the alleyway, his lackeys following him.

(Sorry, was at the store. I'm central so its 1400 over here.)
Arabella caught on to the act and pretended like she wasn't there. She tried sticking to the shadows. Arabella would jump in if they needed her to but she wasn't ready to commit treason.

(I've never been a big cheese fan so mac n cheese is something I eat subtly, I have a gag reflex that's too strong and it prevents me from eating things like jello, whipped cream, and pumpkin pie, just something about the textures of those things triggers my gag reflex. Being in different time zones don't really surprise me, I've met people on the WFC who were at least three or so hours ahead, some behind XD).
Vince, ever so slightly so as to not blow their cover, moved his foot purposely so that Ravage would trip. He never liked the rat even when he was a guard, he always had a feeling about him in the pit of his stomach he didn't like, and it made him feel uneasy around the rat. He was glad to hear though that they were going to let Jag go and take him away, as he had planned. He would come back in the dead of night to retrieve any valuables he has in his shop. The only thing that pained him about having to leave the village at least for the time being was having to leave behind the family of the little girl that called him Vixer, who he helped as often as he could and gave them coins for food and a warm place to stay in the tavern.

(Dang! Well out of the list, cheese is the only important thing to care about missing :'] I always wondered why you were up so late xD )
(I'm going to call you pete, if that's okay? You should send your him to the forest, we'll be there soon!)
Ravage tripped over the foot and barely saved himself from falling on his face. He spun around and growled, then kicked the dead foot angrily. "Grr.... just get out of here!"
Jag felt bad about it, but he had to make it look convincing. He grabbed Vixer by the foot and started dragging him towards the forest, where the group decided they would meet. Jag thought about how his own foot still hurt. He glanced down at it and noticed it broke open and was bleeding again. Jag growled in annoyance. Villagers were looking at him, too, like he was some kind of monster. After some time he checked over his shoulder to see if the rat was still watching him. Ravage was far away now, but still staring at them with his beady eye. Jag sighed and continued to drag the fox.
Finally they made it into the safety of the trees. Jag looked around for a long moment. "Vix, I think it's safe now. Sorry for having to drag you like that, you're all covered in dirt.."

Arabella stepped out of the shadows, hoping Ravage wouldn't notice she was there the whole time. She made a mad dash for the woods to make sure the others were okay. The wind blew her bangs back, which she was thankful for, they were always in the way. She jumped over a couple logs and zig zagged between trees using her leopard abilities to move easily over and between obstacles. Arabella went over the ridge of the hill where she could scent Vincent and Jag. She turbed into complete humab form just before she arrived. Arabella never liked being half and half. It made her feel odd. Her breathing was a little heavy and her hair was kind of messy but she was okay overall. "You two okay? It's a good thing Ravage is too dumb to suspect anything like the trick you pulled." She pulled up the cloth and hood, hoping no one from the village might see her up here.

Astra scoffed in a friendly way, "You wouldn't know if I was strange or not, we only just met" She said with a slight smile. She placed the vegetables in the cart and wiped a few off before answering his other question. "No where really, I need to sell them for money. You know how hard it is to get good money these days. I grow them and every week I come to the market to sell them. Most of the time it makes a good profit, but lately I've been struggling to find anyone willing to buy much" Astra said lightly, continuing to pick up the rest of the vegetables.

(My friend irl is the same way, she's a huge cheese fan and got kind of offended when I said I don't like cheese other than mac n cheese or if it's on something XD but she forgave me lol. Give her one of them bricks of cheese and she'll eat the whole thing to herself, that's how much she loves cheese! And I've also been sleeping more than usual, it worries me just a bit but I've also been up at odd times, my schedule is all messed up lol).
Once they were far from eyesight and earshot of Ravage, Vince opened his eyes and looked up and around, then sat up. "Nah, don't sweat it laddie. You did exactly what I hoped you'd do, we fooled 'em, hopefully enough to keep hidden for a while", he said to Jag, then began to pick himself up off the ground and brushed off the dirt, and turned to Arabella. "That rat might be tricky, but I'm trickier. I'm not the con me father was, but he did teach me a thing 'er two about playin' the con game, that combined with the knowledge of bein' a guard I always think at least three steps ahead. Had he of not fallen fer the trick, I would of bitten his snout as disgusting as he is, and while he was blinded I'd lead us through the back roads. It's like a maze, but keep goin' right and you'd be in the woods, keep on left and you'd be at Saber's doorstep. Ravage may think he's smart, but he has his weaknesses", he said.

"I may be a guard of this town but I still get lost in it until someone has mercy on this 'horrible' guard and takes me to where I came from." She was shocked at the fox's intelligence. He was the brains and brawn! Arabella on the other hand is just...average. She was surprised when they actually let her join them. Then again...her family's wealth might have helped. Did they bribe the king? That would go against everything she was taught. It can't be true...or can it? *SHUT IT you ridiculous child!* she scolded herself but Arabella didn't let what she was arguing about onto the outside

(Again, no worries ^^)
Vincent spit to the side, tasting a bit of dirt. "Ay, only at the king's feet. Other than that I don't know the whereabouts of his home", he answered. "Even if I did, I don't think I'd tell ya laddie, fer yer own sake", he added. "I suppose we haven't properly introduced, ey? Name's Vincent, but I go by Vince er Vixer too", he said.
