Shiro nodded. "I believe it is likely both. We should probably search for others in the forest, especially ones just as lost as we are."

@Letmehaveone2

Lex put her hands down and walked up to him so they were only a couple feet apart. She looked him up and down, then circled him checking to make sure he didn't have anything hidden. She took her place back in front of him when she was satisfied. "I'm Lex. Sorry for the the third degree, but I just fell into a lake filled with blood and bodies, and clearly whoever did that is somewhere close by. They wouldn't just leave their prizes. What are you doing around here?" she said trying to ignore the stench of dried blood caked to her body.

@arowne97
Luna twitched her ears slightly. It sounded like there was something moving around. In fact, sounded like trees moving around. As well as the familiar sound of her friend's wind powers. Something must going on. It wasn't too far off either. "Well I hear some craziness going on in this direction." She started going in the direction she had mentioned.

@Ninkitty
Shiro followed her, though he stopped as a tree branch just barely missed him. "Hmm...so the forest really is alive," he spoke, before he narrowed his eyes as the magic that made the trees attack was now understood completely by him, down to its most complex workings. "And they're magically changed..." he mumbled.

@arockysmith
Arin listened to her intently. There was a lake of blood somewhere? Well, that would explain why the girl was covered in it. "It's fine." He looked at her. "As for what I'm doing here, I don't have the slightest clue." He had been searching for his girlfriend(Ayaka) and still no sign of her yet. "On second thought, I was actually looking for my girlfriend." He was sure if Ayaka was anywhere nearby, she would've spotted him by now.

The trees were MOVING. The wind was howling. It was like it was shielding us from the trees. "W-What the hell!?" I backed away. "T-This isn't real, this most definitely isn't real!" It must be the drugs the guy slipped me, yeah? That has to be it, right? I mean... trees don't just move on their own! They sure as hell don't just attack people! It must have been his suggestion, that the trees actually attack people, then that guy scaring me. Yeah, this is part of their plan, it's got to be, right? Right...?

@Letmehaveone2

Diana sat quietly waiting for Hunter to finish with his work. She seemed bored, her moon-like eyes watching his every move. She had a tiny smirk playing her vessel's full lips. She wanted to play with him again.

@Letmehaveone2

Lex furrowed her brow in confusion wondering how in the world you could lose someone in a forest this creepy. She knew damn well if she came in here with someone they would be glued at the hip. She wouldn't even think of being farther than a foot away. "I'm sorry, but your girlfriend is in here? Why on Earth would you meet your girlfriend in a place like this?" she asked concerned for both of their mental health.

Arin tried to think of a way to answer this. "I just found myself in this creepy place and she could've ended up somewhere else." He decided not to dwell too much on Ayaka for the moment. That's when he noticed something odd with the trees. Since when did trees move unless it was windy? As if this place wasn't already creepy enough. He thought to himself as continued looking at the trees. This has got be his doing. He was referring to Hunter in his thoughts, he just didn't like mentioning his name.

@Nikki Moonlight
After he finished admiring his creations, Hunter turned to Diana. "Think I should send them out yet?" He wasn't actually giving a command here, just seeing what her thoughts were gonna be.

@mmarage@Letmehaveone2@Ninkitty

Parell burnt through any of the trees heading towards him using light-empowered punches. He knew he probably couldn't keep up this for much longer without releasing another soul; not what he wanted to do. Clearing a path towards the area everyone else was, he headed there to plan a getaway.

"Maybe I should let the idiot get hit a few times by the trees. He kinda deserves it and then he might trust me." he thought. "But he doesn't know any better; he's like a newborn baby," he thought aloud. "Oops. Guys, I think we need to get out of here. I can surmise that there is a limit to how far the trees can travel, but I feel like their numbers are too vast for us to deal with. We could go back to the lake, but I doubt that he would go back there... or we could head in the opposite direction and see where it takes us." He hoped that Ayaka could persuade the idiot to see reason.

@Letmehaveone2

Lex crossed her arms over her chest and sucked in a a breath. "Well, maybe I can help you find her. I mean I'd hate for you to get lost in here, and I would hate to get lost in here," she said casually trying to hide her nerves as she followed his gaze. "What the shit," she whispered moving a little farther from her and getting ready to fight. "This had better not be your doing."

@arowne97@IceboundMemoire@Letmehaveone2@mmarage
Luna with Shiro following eventually caught up to to the group. She ended up having to dodge a few tree branches along the way. "Huh? Ayaka?" She couldn't understand why her friend would be using her powers in cat form. Normally, that tired her out, so she used to always only use her powers in human form. "Well I'm confused now. But at least there are others here besides the two of us." The problem was the trees were going crazy here.

Someone suggested going to a lake or the opposite direction. Wait a minute? There was a lake here? But Luna would've smelled water a mile away. A lake of what? Obviously not water.
--

Ayaka didn't know how she felt about going there either. The smell was horrid even far away from it. Of course, it may be the safer of the two options. She went up to Joe and jumped on his shoulder. "Don't freak out, but I'm not an ordinary cat. I know you're probably not going to want to hear this, but the safest option we have right now may very well be going back to that lake. Since simply going in the opposite direction, we've no idea what we'll end up finding."

Shiro frowned, looking in the direction of the lake. Just from glancing at the ground he knew the area, and he was curious as to why everything was corrupted, and why the hell there was a lake of blood in the forest. Normally this was boring, but strangely enough the only details he could get out of it were that it was a lake of blood and dead bodies. He'd have to look closer at it. He looked over at the others, though he mainly spoke to Luna. @Ninkitty "I'll go on ahead. Something seems strange about that lake, and it's not just the fact that it was blood and dead bodies instead of water."

@arockysmith
Arin looked at her. "It isn't." He said as he dodged a few branches. "If it were, then why would they attack me? Think about it." However, he did have a good idea who might have done this, he just hoped he wasn't right.

---

Price stopped when he heard something about a lake nearby full of...what now? Please tell me they didn't just say human. He decided to stay right where he was before looking at Juno.

---

Juno just looked down. I think they did. He looked back up at his friend.

---

Price saw a few others in a distance behind them, having a feeling most of them were human. He looked at Juno. "What should I do?" He couldn't go near the lake if what he heard was true and couldn't go towards the the group he had seen in the distance either so he felt kind of stuck on what to do.

@Letmehaveone2@arowne97@Ninkitty@mmarage

After thinking whilst protecting himself from trees, he said, "We shouldn't fight. We'll have to go this way." He didn't really have a positive vibe coming from the direction he pointed but it was less eerie than the other places. The main pull was that his spirits were pulling him in that direction, so he assumed it was safe.

"Ayaka, I think we should leave lest there are more trees than we can handle." They could probably keep this up for an hour but if it got farther than that, they could be in trouble. He also felt some sort of negative vibe coming from the trees, rather than pure wrath and ire.

@Letmehaveone2

Diana looked his creations over, then she replied, "I believe they are ready....But do what you will." She watched his reaction boredly, simply waching him. She wondered, as always, why he summoned her and bound her to this vessel.

@IceboundMemoire
Shiro stopped and looked at Parell. "And why should we go that way?" he asked, once again having his bored gaze. "It is more logical that we return to the lake. There are not nearly as many trees around it, and unless whoever is causing all of this can revive the dead, we will be mostly safe. Also, those spirits of yours, I would not trust any of them in this forest. Whatever is causing this has corrupted nature itself around us." Having such a deep understanding of everything was useful, even if it was a pain in the ass at times.

@Letmehaveone2

Lex nodded and relaxed herself a little. "We need to get out of here. I heard somebody scream earlier so I know there's other people here. Maybe your girlfriend is with them. We can look together, because I am not staying this freaking forest all by myself," she gently nudged him in a direction as she tried to avoid the trees without accidentally setting one on fire.

@Nikki Moonlight
"Okay." Hunter turned to his shadows and began talking to them and describing someone he liked to call 'dino-boy'(aka Arin). He made sure he they got every last detail. "All of you can get going now." He smiled as they all set out on their mission, but when he saw Shadowsaur. "Wait a minute, too soon for you be sent out yet." He then sat back down his recliner. "Diana, you can go too if you want, but I'm staying with this one." He patted Shadowsaur's leg.

@arowne97

"Wha... how do you know about that..." he left that question behind, and thought about what he could say in response. "We have a person with a very frail mentality. He saw the lake... I assume anyway and ended up in the crazed state he is now." He sighed. The man was going to be a pain to look after. "He thinks we're going to put him in the lake or something."

He wondered why his spirits were pulling him in that direction. Could they sense something in need of help? If so... that'd be odd... Ever since he'd awoken, he'd felt an overpowering dark presence at work he'd never felt before. "I need to find him before he finds me."
