Then write about feeling pointless? I think once Light has done their thing than it will not only give you leeway, but also some relief for her since I know how exhausting it can be for everyone to wait for you to unveil the next scene, not to mention how disappointing it can be not to have any twists in the story.
@Darcs
Truly poetry.
@DarcsHonestly it was just due to all the marks around the base, germanic runes. The closest thing to Finnish or Swedish I know is Esperanto as for Native American languages, I only know a bit of Navajo, and that's because my dad's a marine.

@SpawnlingTo be fair you do have to compete with people who have arms growing out of their face.
I like Linkin Park actually...also, yeah, anyone else feel inadequate after Darcs basically made the equivalent of a Text Maus?


I would if it a majority of it wasn't pertaining to her own backstory. That being said, while it was obvious that there was Latin and Spanish once it got to that Scandinavian like language I sort of gave up trying to translate it.
There wasn't much fanfare to Daniel's arrival and perhaps it was for the best. Daniel was used to being at arm's length with the rest of his peers, though even he had to admit that being rejected by the rejects stung a little. Oh well. The day was young and it looked like half these people were in their own little worlds, hell the group looked like it could be the cover of some band called Insolent Children, they already had a pint-sized goth.

"We're hunting a possibly hostile, possibly demonic fox spirit, alright?" Kanoa turned around and motioned for the others to follow her. "The fox's home is likely deep in the forest, I'll know it when I see it."

Oh alright. That's all. For the briefest moment Danny had thought that these people were just crazy. It was then he realized that they were- what were they called? Live action role-players. LARPers. Yeah that was it. To be honest Danny himself had always wanted to get into Dungeons and Dragons but in a town like this it was hard to find anyone who'd cop to playing it, even at the friendly neighborhood comic book store. Though he had to wonder, why would people like Corey and Orion be there? While he didn't know much about the former he shared a physics with the latter and while he was a nice enough fellow, it was painfully obvious how much he cared about how others thought of him. Showing up here would be social suicide if the masses found out. Whatever. That was his problem. Sure it was a bit odd, even for him but it was nice to see a group of people who wouldn't give a shit about running around the woods and just having fun unstead of wallowing in pointless drama. Soon the group followed their fearless leader Danny tried to stay near the back of the group, but between the other's shuffling pace and his long legs he quickly abandoned the thought, setting his pace to be right in the middle, behind a girl with a pseudo-pixie cut. Since he had arrived at the park he had tried to place her but it was only until now he had realized that he had seen her every time he went to the graveyard. He had never approached her but had always wondered what she was doing there.

No wonder I didn't recognize her! There's no purple haze around her! She probably thinks that I'm going to try and make a citizen's arrest on her what with pops being a cop. Probably for the best. Last thing we need is a fi- well what do we have here?

Arriving at what must be their destination Danny was not perplexed, not just by the cabin and its bark exterior but by the fact that the structure wasn't in a clearing of any kind. "How could this have gotten here without leave a path from construction? New or not there would certainly be evidence of-"

"Oh my fucking god, will you just shut up already!" Jackson exclaimed in annoyance as he began to pace around. "Every second, of every minute, of every day you've been talking non-stop about how to kill people violently, how to torture people brutally, and tell me over and over to kil everyone I meet. At first, this was terrifying,But only now am cI realizing just how fucking annoying you are. Can you please shut and give me just 5 minutes of uninterrupted mental silence."

Well then.

While Danny was ready to bark right back at him -knife or not- the boy's quick attempts at making amends took the wind out of his sails. Dang, this guy reminds me of when I first got the sight. If I had anyone around me they'd probably think I was.... wait a second could Kanoa have brought us together because of... Danny gave the other guy a dismissive wave and with it the thought that others knew his secret. "Well if it wasn't directed at us what's the harm?" he said, trying to keep his voice as chipper as possible. Okay. So this guy may be a tad bit crazy, but isn't everyone really? It's the ones that hide it well that you really have to look out for and Danny was sure that if push came to shove he could easily defend himself. But the schizo was hardly the most interesting thing that was going on here, By George this cabin was an architectural wonder! Or rather, anomaly. As the all shuffled into the cabin Danny drew his blade and -peeling away a piece of bark- made a small incision into the wall, causing some sort of sap to come out.

Well shiggidy diggidy. Things have definitely gotten interesting. Following the other inside the windowless building (never a good idea) Danny couldn't help but feel as if he had stepped into a fairy tale cataloged by the Brothers Grimm. Especially when he saw the 'chandelier.' Unable to discern how the flames were being fueled Danny took out his pocket flash light to examine the tip of the vine but there was no shimmer showing that there was propane or any other gas. Rubbing his chin Danny proceeded to bring his zippo up to it but it refused to light despite the apparent heat that emanated from the flame.

Okay, maybe we aren't going out here to whack each other with foam toys and speak with British accents but that would mean... Looking over at Kanoa he wondered. Did she know? It couldn't be that she knew he could...stack the deck. At most she probably thought he'd have an interest in the occult and wanted a discount at his aunt's store. It definitely made sense for the goth and that girl that hangs out in the graveyard- heck it even made sense for August if Danny did the mental gymnastics. But people like Corey and Orion? The former maybe would be desperate and look for 'alternative medicine' for his leg and while Orion definitely seemed like he'd go this far to fuck with someone, he was smart and knew that the losses outweighed the benefits of being around this crowd. Well shit. We actually are out here to hunt a demon.

"I don't understand. just about every living thing on the planet uses adenosine triphosphate for energy on a cellular level. For this thing that can supposedly take the shape of humans it would have to have more than the simple camouflage that octopi have or the crystals that Chameleons have. It would be some sort of mass of stem cells that got recycled."Thought Danny aloud. "The energy input for such a creature to stay alive let alone form an accurate replica would be quite astounding. It would have to eat things that themselves absorbed quite a bit of energy..." He added as his gaze turned to the curtain of glowing red vines. It could be that this creature was feeding off of those. It would make sense that it would provide a source of energy since it's redish-orange glow indicated that it focused its energy on absorbing shorter lightwaves and thus, higher energy. But if that were the case why would it even possess the ability to take on the traits of other beings?

"So, anyone have any idea why a Kitsune would kidnap a kid? Also, what are we going to do if/when we find him, or if the Kitsune finds us?"
asked, Jackson was it? A sense of dread filled Danny's stomach.

"Jackson, have you ever heard the term, 'a wolf in sheep's clothing?'" when something occurred to Danny. "Did anyone check upstairs to see if there's anyone else here?"
I just...want...to interact...FASTER. DAMMIT. *is impatient for characters*

I know what you mean. Sometimes the group tends to lean a bit grim derp (probably not cool of me to say since I'm hardly a part of it at this point) but I'm sure at least 40% of the group doesn't listen to Linkin Park.
@Piercing LightWell I was reading up on Kitsunes and I saw that in some folklore they use the bones they assume the form of to take their shape. On the other hand you already said they do it through using those leaves. Which means I'm useless in this case. But I do think that there's a case for them not being dead just so there's more room to ramp things up with death later. Besides just from general stand point most of our characters are edgier than a sphere at this point and throwing MOAR DOOM right away will keep us all singing the same old song.
Also are we planning to have the kid right there in the foxhole? I mean while it seems like it may be logical, wasn't it just a ten minute jaunt from the park to find the place? I feel like the cops would find the place if they were canvasing the area.

@Darcs I think we can marvel at the internet without being that guy. I mean for better or worse, the Arab Spring couldn't have happened without it, let alone the thousands of scientific discoveries that are being made due to instant communication between researchers around the world. It truly is the coolest thing since Betty White.
@ConstantineOh there are, they're just gay too.
@Spawnling Didn't you know? Everyone is gay on the internet.
@Tenish the Mighty I swear they're making up words just to mess with foreigners half the time.

Also I was going through the OOC log and realized that this is what the group would look like as scooby do and the gang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr4Ek08FEFs
