[IC] Monster Hunter

[BK201]

Charlotte turned her ead to the campfire, she had flashbacks from when her parents and brother were being burnt, tears fell from her face but she didnt feel she was crying.
The butterflies prefered much more rest on Charlotte's hair than to play around the fire

Katrice looked at Aiden and clapped. "I should get the tent set up." She took out her tent, it was big enough for three people and she looked around. "Anyone want to sleep in the tent?" She had it up in five minutes and looked at it proudly. Her face was natural and pretty in that moment, she blushed after staring at her tent and went over by the fire.

"I definitely will be sleeping in the tent tonight, think of it as repayment for the bear" Marianne blurted right after the invitation for the tent was offered. "I didn't really bring a sleeping bag, but a bear pelt will work." Marianne said, reaching into her pocket, pulling out a knife. "Does anyone here know how to properly skin a bear? It would take hours to do a whole bear by myself"

Merl layed down near the fire and yawned, though it was clearly fake, he was very tired, not from the adventure but more from his hourless work making each dead body seem at ease and happy with it's state, the fire was warm which he had not felt since his sister ad left and he had not bothered to use blankets or a fire to warm himself as he worked, as he never had time to sleep. He sighed as topaz crawled into his hair, the slime was cool and contrasted the fire. He missed her so, she had a way with he words that just made him smile no matter what, he hoped she wasn't hurt or in danger, and if anyone tryed anything on her, lay a single hand on her, he could feel it in his gut, but he had yet to feel such an ugly sensation.

"you guys better be off to the tent,I'll tend to the fire"

[BK201]

Charlotte stood up and walked to the river, she drank some water and sat next to the campfire rubbing her forehead. "i thought you would tell ghost stories..." she said coldly

[Saarebas]

Aiden chuckled. "Don't think I'll be sleeping in the tent. Not a fan of tight spaces." He called over before looking to Marianne. "Like I said I'll help with the bear if I can get a piece for myself."

[CallaLily180]

Katrice nodded and smiled at Aiden. Dragneel growled and ran up between the to laying down. "Oh I'm sorry about him hes protective."

Merl smiled at the girl, even someone who seemed so cold and sad could still have fun with a good story, he picked the snail up and put it in his sleeve.

"ahh so you wish for a story do ya? Have I got one for you, ever hear of the tally poe?"

[Saarebas]

Aiden smirked. "I get it he's protecting his territory." He smiled and patted Dragneel's head. "Don't worry boy I won't come near her with asking you first okay?" He said before looking over to Merl "Ohh a ghost tale huh? I'm all ears."

[manapool1]

Mehrdad sat up, his creepy and sadistic smile had been placed on his face, he looked like a true murder.

"gather round for he will attack those who stay away"

[CallaLily180]

Dragneel stopped growling and relaxed glancing at Aiden every few seconds. Katrice smiled at Aiden and looked at Marl. "I love ghost stories."

[manapool1]

Merl tossed a tail of a weasel that he used when he had told his sister the story when she was young, the snail crawled off of it.

"this is the tail of taillypo, a creature of the forest night who ever haunts those who own it's missing extention, by placing it in the forest I have allowed him to come for us" his smile showed his bright greenish yellow teeth only making him more intimidating

[Epiphany]

Without saying a word, Helona sat down. She claimed a spot in their tight-knit group without saying anything, hoping they won't mind, though it seems as though they get a lot of random members.
She drew her knees to her chest and sighed, listening to the stories that were told, which were somewhat interesting, but to be honest, she had heard better. Helona placed her chin on her hand, looking rather tired, but still attempted to stay awake for the rest of the story.

[MonsieurShade]

[sorry i've been gone so long, had to go to work almost immediately after my classes let out]

Mateiu prodded the bear experimentally with his hand a few times, "I can skin it. Just gimmie a minute." he said before pulling up the skin at the base of the bear's neck and unsheathing his sword. The hunter ever so lightly pierced a small hole in the skin, then began to drag the blade down the bear's body, smirking with satisfaction as the blade's odd shape allowed him to slice through skin and meat just as easily as it allowed him to cleave through bone. Within a short period of time, the bear was sport a long vertical cut from its neck to it's tail, "All you have to do now is peel it off like a jacket." Mateiu explained before flicking the blood off of his blade and admiring his sword in the fire light. The sword itself was odd, its thick blade was curved in a manner similar to that of a sickle as opposed to most single edged swords, the gold accents along the tip and hilt of the sword glittered brightly in the firelight along with the silver portion that made up the actual cutting edge.

[Dahlia Hawthorne]

Marianne thanked the hunter for skinning the bear vertically, and then sat down next to Helona, preparing for the story. "Now don't make it to scary, I intend to sleep tonight" she said sarcastically. "I have some pretty terrifying stories of my own, if you want to hear one of those" Marianne suggested.

[manapool1]

As the others gathered around they were suprised to noticed that mehrdad had fallen asleep and his snail has vanished onto helena's shoulder. His snoring was very loud and the fire next to him seemed to make it louder.

[Epiphany]

"I remembered a few tall tales myself, one especially that I think the others might like, it's rather old too. But Marianne can go first if she wishes." Helona chuckled slightly and stared at her shoulder, feeling something slimy wander about on her bare skin, she cringed realizing it was a mere garden snail and flicked it off of her shoulder.

[BK201]

"Charlotte looked at everyone and sighed "Igues no one knows the secret of the Elder..." her hace turned dark and creepy "...Some say...that in the basement of his house he keeps people...people from other villages.... i have heard screams coming from his house at night" Cahrlotte took a small branch and burnt the tip using the campire "...rumos say that he makes expreiments with them..."

[Dahlia Hawthorne]

Marianne lifted an eyebrow in disappointment. "Really? This is all about monsters and experiments, honestly you'd think to come up with something realistic" Marianne sighed. "Helona, please tell me you have a good story, or I might just fall asleep right here" Marianne nudged at Helona with her shoulder.

[CallaLily180]

Katrice didn't mind the scary stories in fact she loved them, it was fun to hear ubsurd things like these.
