– Mercy –
Mercy raised an eyebrow at Chris as she poked her finger through the mesh to stroke the ‘friendly’ hen...well she had to admit it did look fairly friendly for a chicken anyway. She noticed another zip along and aim its beak at Chris’s hand, adopting a concerned look as she pulled her hand back from mesh hastily. Mercy found the sheepish look rather amusing, she couldn't keep the amused smile from her face. “Sorry that wasn’t funny...are you OK?” She apologized after clearing her throat as she watched Chris place her finger in her mouth, the blonde woman lowered her hands to her pockets, sliding her hand into her left pocket she pulled a slither of plastic from it. “Plaster worthy? Even little cuts can be a risk...” She offered with a small smile on her face, she held out the plaster to the dark haired woman, upon closer inspection the plaster was a rather interesting yellow color with a well known character from the Mr Men on it, Mr Bump. “Just ignore the design...can’t really be picky these days” Mercy told the other woman, biting her lip in slight embarrassment as that pink hue reappeared on her cheeks again.
She looked a little surprised as Chris offered to do both jobs. “Oh...erm...” She murmured, in reality that sounded perfect...Why did she suggest that? There was of course only one conclusion to that question. I must look like such an idiot... Embarrassed again...Mercy didn’t answer Chris straight away, as soon as the other woman was distracted and feeding the chickens she lifted a hand to her face covering her covering her eyes for a brief moment, not entirely sure why she was so bothered about admitting it. She dropped her hand moving over to a soft wicker basket rested next to the coop, watching Chris move around as she hovered by the small door. One hand idly playing with ends of her hair as she waited for a chance to slip into the coop. She stepped back about to say something when Chris stood straight dusting herself off before making the peculiar gesture coupled with a ‘Tadaa’ whatever she was about to say was lost as she was unable to stop herself from laughing lightly.
She lifted a hand to her mouth as she slowly managed to calm herself down, that shouldn’t have made her laugh quite as much as she had...but it had been a while since she’d even had a reason to, it felt good just allowing it to happen. “I’m sorry! That was...” She trailed off, clearing her throat unable to wipe the smile from her face. “...perfect” She finished glancing down at the chicken coop, she crouched down next to the mesh watching the hens peck at the ground hungrily. She lifted her gaze in time to catch Chris’s supportive smile, before she offered to grab the eggs. That smile... She got to her feet, shame apparent in her features though she actually attempted to hide it this time. “...if you wouldn't mind” She murmured in answer offering Chris the basket, dropping her eyes to the floor in front of her, feeling guilty for allowing herself to be an obvious coward. “I’m not very good with birds...” She admitted in a low voice, reaching up to play with the angel winged locket hanging around her neck.

– Tamashii –
Tamashii nodded at Olivia her mouth twitching up into a small appreciative smile, she pulled a chair out about to move over to grab a plate when she noticed Remy had already beaten her to it. She sunk down into her chair accepting the plate from him. “Thank you” she thanked him, catching his gaze with her own as he sunk into the chair next to him. Her eyes narrowed slightly as curiosity tinged her expression, she looked away reaching for her fork and a knife. Her eyes drifting over to the light hearted twin that had made an appearance in the kitchen, Tamashii watched her for a moment relaxing when the larger of the two dogs bounded over to the twin. She was pretty sure she could trust the animals intuition on this account...besides this food was not to be ignored for starters it was warm when was the last time they had, had a chance to eat hot food? As the ballerina girl made her appearance she gave her a half smile in greeting. Tamashii had just taken her first bite of food and was in no hurry to swallow it without savoring the heavenly taste first, she chewed slowly but with a purpose before swallowing and answering blue veiled woman. “Perhaps we should work on a plan instead?” She put forward.
“As much as I don’t want to bring the mood down in here but if we want to stay here we need to be more organized. Patrols around the borders, look outs and probably a backup plan in case things go pear shaped” She put forward, before taking another mouthful of food. It wasn’t the ideal topic for breakfast...but the majority of them were here, she was sure the others could be caught up later and this was definitely something that they should discuss. She turned her attention to the twin who was no doubt busy with the dog.“You should grab some of this” She suggested to the jovial woman, realizing she didn’t even know her name. “I’m Ash by the way, this is Remy and Olivia, Rena and...” She trailed off as she looked at the blue veiled woman. Damn I’ve forgotten her name... It was very unlike her to forget such crucial information. “You are?” She asked after a small pause, hopefully the woman in the blue costume had filled in the silence with her name.

– Beast –
Beast dipped his head at Jazz modestly as she thanked him. “N-no problem” He murmured, again with the stuttering. Before the electric pokemon could answer him he felt one of the pokemon on his back abandon ship, he turned his head abruptly his ears flickering as worry crossed his expression upon hearing Amara burst into tears, he squeezed his eyes shut as he received his second shower of the day. Unfortunately his fluffy pelt was suddenly dripping wet, his long mane flopped into his eyes. He wriggled his muzzle lifting a dripping wet paw to his face he pushed some of his mane out of his face, purring in a calming manner as the small water pokemon waddled over to him and buried her face into his leg, he dropped his head towards her. He was about to speak when Jazz beat him to it, he looked up at the Jolteon a grateful look on his face as she attempted to calm the youngster. “You hear that Amara? It’ll be fun and you know Jazz is the best when it comes to adventuring” He spoke softly to the frightened pokemon.
“I’m sure Spike didn’t mean to frighten you...” As if for confirmation said pokemon offered his explanation with a certain zeal about his words. Beast’s jowls lifted in a smile at Spikes energy it was rather infectious, waiting until Jazz had dried herself off he spread his paws apart before giving himself an almighty shake, spraying water in all directions as he attempted to dry himself off, lifting his back feet one after the other and shaking them out as well. “Come on Amara, you can ride shotgun” He grinned at the water pokemon no shyness shown at all towards the two young cubs. He dropped his nose to Amara nudging her away from his leg before dropping onto his belly briefly giving her choice to either get back onto his back or not. Standing back up again either with her on his back or not, he jolted forward as Jazz teased Spike and shot off down the path his tail wagged behind him as he resisted the urge to bound after her like a...well cub.
“Come on you two” He murmured at the younger pokemon, if Amara was on his back he happily bounced after Jazz if she was wasn’t he calmly followed after the Jolteon anxiously waiting for the smaller pokemon to follow him, he chuckled as Jazz bounced from one side of the trail to the other. The fire type had always admired how energetic she was, he also appreciated it when she took it upon herself to help out with the cubs, unfortunately his energy reserves were nowhere near as high as hers. “What’s the first rule of tracking then?” He asked Jazz, his ears flicking forward as he managed to keep his nervous stutter at bay.
–Bam-bam –
Bam-bam wrinkled her nose at his suggestion. “Amara? She’s too shy, she’d probably just cry if I tried to play with her...” She brushed the thought aside, hitting the ground softly with her bone. “She wouldn’t want to be my friend” She shook her head, listening to the rest of his advice. “Cut down on the wild stuff? But its fun!” She exclaimed loudly. “I’ll have you know, that at my last home I was worshipped for it! All the other pokemon appreciated my pranks, they thought I was very cool to be around...all of them were my friends” She told him folding her arms and jutting her chin up into the air. The small Cubone was renowned for telling these kind of stories, if she ever spoke of her past it always had reference to how great her previous families thought she was. Or she’d tell tales of her mother and try and convince them her mother was of great importance and would return for her one day she just couldn’t at the moment for top secret reasons!
She blinked at him as he announced not all elderly pokemon played games, she was about to slip into a sulk when he leant in closer and whispered in her ear. A wide grin spread across her face as he burst out laughing, she jumped to her feet bouncing on the spot. “Yes! What game can we play? Oh its going to be so much fun!” She squealed, waving her bone around in excitement. “What game can we play Max?” She asked a second time before he’d even had a chance to answer it the first time.

Head count? o.o I'm still here! ^^' Just really far behind!! I'll have a post out within the next few hours tops :)
I'll have a post out very soon ^^' Just wondering but who knows who? I wasn't sure whether we were assuming our characters would have at least exchanged names by now...or if we were still at that introductory stage,

Hey guys! Things are going to be a little busy for the next few days, so I will be around less and probably unable to post IC. It seems as if there are only 5 of us actively left. <.< Should we recruit again or leave it as is?
Think this group is fine as it is ^^ Works well. Don't think we need to recruit again at least not for now? >.> In my opinion ^^'
- Little Feather -
Little Feather huffed in annoyance as he danced around her question though she hadn’t been able to stay annoyed for long, she was curious as to why Leroy wouldn’t tell her what emotion he had used it was apparent in her gaze as it shifted to him that she was entertaining the blue ink’s emotion at this minute. Koop glanced at the piece of paper in Little Feather’s hand, tilting his head to the side he shook his head at her indicating she wasn’t the one. Little Feather continued to fidget as Mercy waltzed around, she lifted a hand and begun to twirl her hair through her fingers in an attempt to keep herself busy. What if Leroy’s right...should I try harder to keep my guard up?
Little Feather knew both Kathy and Crash, in fact if she recalled Kathy had been the first person to befriend her! Well...she considered it befriending, she’d been nice and invited her along to the library. I wonder how her human level study is going... She wasn’t entirely sure why Kathy seemed to be so embarrassed by it, perhaps if she hadn’t felt the need to jump around like a loon she could have focused and figured it out. She jolted as Leroy nudged her side, she turned to face him, suspicious eyes conflicted with curiosity as she listened to him, her leg begun to jig as she shuffled in her chair.
“But...why does it matter whether they know or not? Nia was obvious and he wasn’t harmed by it” Little Feather looked suitably confused. “I don’t see the harm in it Leroy...” She sighed. “Hiding things is suspicious, you could hide anything...they could hide anything” She stated, shifting closer to him and peering around suspiciously, she chewed her lip nervously, despite her words her body language revealed even through her suspicion she trusted him on a subconscious level...regardless of how aggravating that may be. “Have you met Kathy and Crash?” She asked him, still fiddling with her hair and jigging her leg to filter out some of the excitement that seemed to course through her.
She accepted her next slip of paper not even bothering to look at it, Koop was hovering by her shoulder anyway. Her interest was piqued as she heard Kathy announce she was the king, allowing confusion to seep into her expression at the command that was issued...she wasn’t surprised that Carmen didn’t know what is was. She turned to Leroy planning to whisper her question to him when she noticed Carmen had walked over to Ryuu and demonstrated exactly what a ‘raspberry’ was. Little Feather of course found the whole ideal exciting! For some odd reason...she expressed this by randomly clapping her hands enthusiastically as Carmen elegantly walked away from Ryuu leaving him rolling around the floor.
- Crash -
Crash put a hand to the back of his neck as he noticed her face flush a second time...he assumed because he’d said something untoward. He decided it was probably best to keep quiet for the time being until she had calmed down a bit, he glanced down at his piece of paper as they were handed around a second time. Content in the knowledge he wasn’t the king he leant back in his chair propping his chin on the tops of his knuckles as he leant on the arm of his chair. He felt his mouth curl up into a smile as Kathy announced she was king, pulling the attention of the room a second time...he didn’t count in that, she always had his attention.
He allowed his gaze to wander the room as he waited for her to announce the numbers and her command. He glanced down at his number, looking pleased when he knew he was safe though his eyes traveled to rest on one of his fellow musketeers as she piped up questioning Kathy as to what a raspberry was before she elegantly moved towards Ryuu who looked...uncomfortable to say the least. He chuckled as Carmen simply grabbed his hand and did the deed without a shred of embarrassment, he felt for Ryuu however as the other boy fell on the floor in a rather dramatic way before rolling around clutching his nose. Oh boy...I do not envy him that reactionHe thought, grimacing for Ryuu’s sake.
Once Maria went around offering out new slips, he glanced down at his...again not king! He sighed softly, wondering who was up next. Unsurprisingly, he turned his attention back to Kathy with a small smile he stated. "Well played, that was the most harmless dare I've ever seen" He looked amused though he was obviously not mocking her. "Well almost harmless..." He corrected himself glancing back over at Ryuu. "Can't say I've seen a reaction like that before either" He grinned.

- Crash & Mercy -
Crash nodded at Kathy's answer. "The demoness is not the best at hiding anything" Crash chuckled and sure enough a few moments later Mercy had stood up claiming to be the king. Apart from his poor attempt at a jest he remained fairly quiet as Mercy walked between the chairs drawing out her time as the royal. Upon hearing her command he felt his eyes drop back down to the paper in his hand, he was kind of relieved it wasn't him, perhaps it meant...he glanced over at Kathy, automatically noticing her change in posture. He opened his mouth as if to speak but ended up closing it again coming to one conclusion as he noticed her face was already beginning to flush with color. Shichwag... He thought to himself, he kept his gaze in her direction though lowered it to focus on the arm of her chair as she admitted she was holding the lucky unlucky number.
Just after her admittance Crash felt an uneasy feeling stir within him, what if she pointed to someone else? He wasn't entirely sure how that would make him feel. He avoided catching her eye as she glanced at him the first time. He felt his own cheeks flush as she meekly looked up at him the second time and gestured towards him, the problem was the idiot couldn't stop himself from smiling happily at that, he felt guilty beyond comprehension that Kathy had, had to take the brunt of that embarrassment but...she'd just admitted he was attractive enough to date, despite the fact he'd already asked her on a date and she'd accepted...he couldn't help but get that strange warm feeling in his chest a second time.
Mercy's smile grew wide as soon as she realized it was Kathy had received the number, there was Code Red...and then the admittance!
In her head: Mercy jumped up and down on the spot pointing at the pair of them. "I knew it! I knew it!" Then she would have hopped off the table completely composed herself and continued the game like normal.
In reality: She kept herself perfectly composed though the side of her mouth twitched up in mirth. "Thank you" She inclined her head walking back over to Maria and slipping the king piece of paper back into the cup. "Dethroned, hurry up and get the paper back into the cup! On to the next game...?" Mercy grinned at Maria.
Crash rubbed the back of his neck, leaning over to Kathy he murmured. "They're not staring as much anymore, want to come out of there?" He leant forward onto his knees, clasping and unclasping his hands as he glanced at her that warm smile still on his face.

Tadaa. is how I imagine the chicken coop, by the way.
I wasn't imagining it like that ^^' Much prefer that one though! Thanks for sharing that :)
- Mercy -
Mercy eased herself down into a seat, elegantly folding one leg over the other she leant back in her chair leaning her elbow on the arm she rested her cheek against the back of her hand, an amused smile on her face as she caught Maria's explanation. A little different from the norm...but isn't that what this is all about? She thought to herself, she glanced at Darwin as he slid into a chair next to her. A smile lit up her face at his completely inconspicuous whisper, she replied in the same manner. "Yes Darwin?" She dropped her hand from her face, turning towards him as he offered her some skittles. "As long as you promise these aren't laced with Cyanide" She grinned at him, opening her palm to accept any skittles offered. She reached into the cup with her other hand, grabbing a piece of paper she turned it over in her fingers feeling her smile lift with a devious turn.
- Crash Bandicoot -
Crash smiled at Lily as reassuringly as he could. "Don't worry about it, yup that's me" He shifted in his chair casting his eyes across the way raising an eyebrow as Mercy took skittles from Darwin and then...wait a minute......god save us all... He thought, he lifted a hand to his head groaning. Before he noticed Alex had joined them, he was a little surprised to see him looking less...chibi like. "Hey Alex" He greeted him with a friendly smile, his eyes traveling back to Kathy briefly as she apologized to the boy, he chewed his lip for a moment. Did I pull her away from Alex? He wondered whether he could help their situation, unsure whether it was a good idea or not. "Don't be too hard on her Alex, it was my fault for dragging her away" He attempted, before he noticed the blue haired pixie had turned to look at him, he blinked twice upon listening to his sentence. "I'm sorry...treating your mom well?" Crash repeated having been successfully confused.
"I don't even know your mother" He raised an eyebrow at the other boy wondering whether he was missing some kind of punch line or whether that was a dig or some kind...he really wasn't the best at understanding these kinds of things. His eyes opened in surprise as he caught Kathy's blush and glance, though apparently he wasn't getting an explanation now...OK...that's not weird at all...right "Ah...ok" He attempted a grin though he hadn't quite had the chance to shift the confusion. Crash shifted in his chair so he was facing Kathy and Alex, a warm smile lighting up his face when he shifted his gaze to the former. "Exactly what I was wondering...I also think teachers playing probably isn't the best idea" He commented, though he couldn't stop himself smiling despite his words. "I'm not the king either by the way, but I have an inkling as to who is" He grinned without offering anymore info.
- Mercy, Crash & Little Feather -
Mercy took a deep breath before standing up where she was. "Read it and weep, my loyal subjects" She grinned at the group holding up the bit of paper labelled King. "King...sounds so masculine though" She frowned looking down at the paper, noticing the very suspicious look she received from Little Feather though she noted the indian girl looked about ready to ping off of the walls.. Ok...pretty sure that's not normal but.. "We can call you 'Queenie' if you prefer" Crash piped up with a cheeky grin, feeling strangely confident since Mercy wasn't aware of his number the chances of him suffering under her wrath in this game were 1/24
She slowly paced around the other chairs, dramatically clasping her hands behind her back, seriously over dramatizing the whole scenario. "I command that..." She hesitated for a moment, looking around the players and tapping her lower lip thoughtfully. "...number 7 point out one person in this room that you find attractive enough to date" She announced with a wide grin looking around to see who the unlikely victim was.

"I'm not the king either by the way, but I have an inkling as to who is" He grinned without offering anymore info.
- Mercy, Crash & Little Feather -
Mercy took a deep breath before standing up where she was. "Read it and weep, my loyal subjects" She grinned at the group holding up the bit of paper labelled King. "King...sounds so masculine though" She frowned looking down at the paper, noticing the very suspicious look she received from Little Feather though she noted the indian girl looked about ready to ping off of the walls.. Ok...pretty sure that's not normal but.. "We can call you 'Queenie' if you prefer" Crash piped up with a cheeky grin, feeling strangely confident since Mercy wasn't aware of his number the chances of him suffering under her wrath in this game were 1/24
She slowly paced around the other chairs, dramatically clasping her hands behind her back, seriously over dramatizing the whole scenario. "I command that..." She hesitated for a moment, looking around the players and tapping her lower lip thoughtfully. "...number 7 point out one person in this room that you find attractive enough to date" She announced with a wide grin looking around to see who the unlikely victim was.
- Crash -
Crash laughed as she playfully shoved him. “Just now” He grinned at her with a quick wink his own cheeks were tinted but apparently his ‘evil’ habits had returned in force this evening. He noticed she seemed pleased in hearing he was participating, needless to say Crash also knew he’d have a lot more fun if Kathy was around. He wasn’t even worried about the inevitable jests or jokes that were bound to pop up at some point.
Of course, Darwin had somehow managed to get there first. Crash wasn’t sure whether he was relieved when he noticed Kathy had also hit Code Red or not really, he was planning on tactfully changing the subject when he heard Kathy stammer beside him, he lifted a questioning eyebrow at her, blinking in surprise at what she was saying. W-what? Needless to say the shapeshifter felt a pang of discomfort over what he heard, most likely because now he was very confused. He wanted to say something to lessen Kathy’s embarrassment after seeing her bury her face in her hands but...to be honest what could he say? He exhaled a sigh of relief as Mercy intervened, he had managed to quickly recover from that awkward situation.
His smile grew in response to her answer, another flood of relief passing through him though his smile was replaced with a look of mild surprise as she reached for him, he felt his heart jump against his ribs as her fingertips brushed his own. Is she..? No sooner had the thought crossed his mind she retracted her hand he seemed unfazed by the withdrawal, he tilted his head to the side as she lifted her eyes to his own warm crimson ones, he offered her a reassuring smile which seemed to give way to a more affectionate one as her fingers enclosed his wrist he made no attempt what so ever to pull away from her, completely content with the contact, he quickly leant towards her keeping a respectable distance he whispered
“Good idea, my chances of having an accident are ridiculously high in this environment” He pulled back with a cheeky grin on his face, before allowing her to guide them both towards Maria. He glanced around the circle offering a quick salute in greeting to anyone who looked at him, feeling a slight tug on his wrist as Kathy sat down, he lowered himself down into the chair beside her turning to look at Alex as she called to him, he kept the smile on his face though it instantly faltered as she mentioned her hair being back to normal...he’d noticed obviously, but had he said anything to her about it...he was pretty sure he hadn’t.
At that moment he noticed Carmen moving towards them , the smile returned to his face as she came to sit next to him, he noticed the other girl following close by and offered her the same warm smile. He chuckled at Carmen’s playful greeting. “You’re looking positively Fabulous this evening Carmen” Crash commented noting the rather stylish look his fellow musketeer had. “As as you of course” He smiled at Lily, assuming she was a friend of Carmen’s already. His cheeks may have tinted a little at her question and the nudge to his arm, his hand instantly reached for the back of his neck. “W-well “ He started off with a small stammer before she continued on with a wink and a flick of her hair. He felt a grin cross his face at her antics, his gaze shifting from Carmen to Lily as she was introduced.
“Lily? I may have met you before...perhaps” He mused, before shrugging and leaning forward offering the girl his hand in greeting. “I’m Crash and this is Kathy, it’s a pleasure to meet you” He introduced himself, before moving aside to introduce Kathy as well for once having beaten her to it. Usually she got there first and introduced him, Crash kept his hand out for a while if it wasn’t shaken he simply retracted it without an ounce of bother, he was a little taken aback by Lily’s forceful greeting but he put it down to nerves. He turned to glance at Maria as she explained the game before offering around the paper, he glanced at Kathy momentarily. “...I’m getting déjà vu here, this kind of thing never ends well” Crash murmured more to himself than anyone else, with a slightly worried look on face he accepted a piece of paper, looking down at the number he had received.
- Little Feather -
Little Feather was taken aback by his first comment, had she wanted him to be concerned...? Her face dutifully flushed at his sudden proximity, regardless of the initial bite of his words she didn’t visibly calm down until he moved away from her. Perhaps I should pay more attention to his advice? She appreciated his patience with her which was easy to see, as she listened to him though there was that flicker of worry again as she thought over what he had said. “Oh...anything?” She repeated, unsure what that would imply for Leroy probably something similar to this.
Despite her past Little Feather had spent far too long on her own, she wasn’t even entirely used to Lion’s persona, before Athalia he had just been a normal lion. She resisted the urge to tut in annoyance as he remained silent whilst he painted her face, she would have felt more at ease if he had spoken...perhaps that was why he didn’t speak? She bounced on her feet, contemplating this should she be extra suspicious of Leroy? He kept telling her to be, “Yes! I feel, erm” She started waving one of her hands in front of her as if this motion could explain her sudden burst of excitement. “Excited? I-is that what you did to me?” There was the suspicion again written so perfectly in her eyes as she watched him for a moment still holding her hand out to him.
Once she had his hand in her grip she grinned at him, barely resisting the urge to bounce her way over to the game area. She settled for a rather fast paced walk, keeping a firm grip of his hand as she weaved through any crowds of people. As they moved towards the game area it occurred to the Lakota that she hadn’t even asked Leroy how and when she would return to normal...ah, but if she had asked would he even have told her the truth? She switched her gaze back at Leroy, narrowing her eyes slightly. She ground to a halt rather abruptly as they neared the group of students, just in time to catch Maria explaining the game she could barely stop herself from bouncing on the spot. "Oh! We're playing!" The Lakota exclaimed loudly, her grip on Leroy loosened momentarily as she hopped forward locating the nearest set of empty chairs, without thinking she practically tried to tug the young artist behind her towards the empty seats, dropping down into one she finally released Leroy's hand reaching over to nab a bit of paper she was then presented with a rather annoying problem.
The squiggles! I knew I should have been more suspicious of them...they did it on purpose didn't they? They knew I couldn't understand them, should definitely watch them! Little Feather's eyes flickered around the room, it was strangely odd how scrutinizing her gaze was compared to the rest of her that was practically buzzing. "Lady Feather, Koop at your service, Kupo-po" The small moogle appeared next to her, causing her to jump before glare at him, Koop blinked at the glare his bobble drooped down and he sheepishly swayed in the air. "Hey..." Little Feather murmured to the moogle looking at Leroy briefly before back down at her squiggle excessively fidgeting.
