Name: Katherine Level: 1 Race: Kitsune Class: Warrior Date/Time: Day 1 / Morning Location: Right outside the Greased Oak Tavern Mentioned: [@Holy Soldier] [@Bright_Ops] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The man completely ignored her greetings, but Katherine didn't mind. Her attention had already shifted to the man who whistled for attention inside the tavern. She closed her eyes so she could better focus on her hearing. Her ears twitched as she honed in on the sound of his voice, and she listened. [b][i]Alright people, we've got a plan of attack.[/i][/b] This was an invaluable hunting skill she had picked up in the wild. Listening to her prey's heavy breathing as it ran for its life, the sound of fallen leaves and small branches crunching underneath its feet, all the while filtering out any noise that wasn't of immediate concern to her. Tracking down her prey was more about listening than it was about chasing it. As the man continued talking, the noise outside increased. She slowed down her breathing and started filtering out the noise around her. Overlapping chatter, laughter, footsteps all around, the screams of sheer horror coming from the east. [i]Wait, what...?[/i] Her eyes snapped open to the sight of a sea of people fleeing en masse from the east. [i][b]Rats in the market! They're eating everything! Even people![/b][/i] [i]Those better be some bigass rats.[/i] Half of her was concerned about the damage these rats were causing. The other half was imagining the feast they would make. She licked her lips, anticipating breakfast. The man from before climbed onto the back of a wagon to protect himself against the oncoming crowd. [i]Brave man.[/i] She thought, almost sarcastically. [i]Impulsive, probably not the brightest, but brave nonetheless.[/i] Figuring it would provide more protection than a wagon, she grabbed her spear and scurried inside the tavern. She could hear him from inside the tavern fighting off the crowd. [i][b] If you're not driving this wagon into battle, then you don't deserve to flee with it! Piss off before I roast you alive![/b][/i] [i]You're expecting to drive a wagon through a massive crowd of panicked, fleeing people?[/i] She sighed and shook her head silently. [i]Definitely not the brightest.[/i] She was, however, impressed that the men who attempted to climb on the wagon, scared for their lives as they were, actually took his words to heart and fled [i][b]from him.[/b][/i] Sure, from what she had seen of the man, he looked intimidating, but was he [b]that[/b] intimidating? [i][b]You guys done having tea parties in there? If you're not out here in 30 secs, then I'm leaving without you![/b][/i] She walked silently towards the group of people on the meeting spot she assumed to be the rest of the party. [i]Impulsive, hotheaded, boastful, impatient-[/i] [i][b]I got us a riiiide~[/b][/i] [i]... and a complete idiot.[/i] She smiled deviously. [i]I'm going to have fun with this guy.[/i] She turned her attention to the rest of the party, speaking to no one in particular. "He really is going to try to drive that thing through a massive crowd of people, isn't he?"
