"I haven't even found anything like water to drink yet, let alone alcohol." Jor mentioned as so looked a bit tired. She yawned a bit and wondered why she felt so tired. Perhaps it's just because she wasn't use to using her legs so much? In fact, they hurt a bit didn't they? Maybe she pushed herself too hard... Well, Nick didn't seem that tired. Maybe she just didn't know how to use them for such high speed running for so long. "Regardless, thanks for giving us a place to rest for a bit I guess." She mentioned before finally looking to Hikari that she just so happened to be holding in her arms still... Who just so happened to shift back to her humanoid form. That gave her an idea, actually.

"Sorry, you probably want to stand up now, don't you?" She said before setting the girl down. "That said... Mind if you help me with something really quick?" Without giving her a chance to say no, Jormungandr would then change shape as well. A small poof and her form changed from a grown woman... To a smaller, white scaled and red-eyed snake that would land on Hikari. "Huh, I really can do this too. And talk? Curious. We're twinsies, Hikari!" Jor would say, trying to make it so her two and a half foot long body wouldn't get in Hikari's way. "Anyway, mind carrying me for now? My legs were killing me and I'd really appreciate it!"

Whether Hikari carried her or not, eventually they would make it to the cottage with Ilsa. It looked nice, at least. Safe too. Not that it seemed to mean much with that Wendigo thing out and about though she didn't want to consider that for a bit.

Running, running and more running! Jor was running for her life when the fox girl... Changed into an actual fox! That didn't matter! She could do something similar. For now, she needed to keep pusbing so she didn't become bug food. Eventually, however, a horrific noise was heard behind her. At first, she was worried that Nick had been gobbled up, be a quick peek to the side showed he was just fine.

Before she had time to consider looking behind her, she saw a girl in black and gold... And she was trying to talk the creature down? Jor looked behind to see a golden wall holding the creature back, but not it's smell. She wanted to run, put more distance between her and it but her legs felt like bags of concrete. Too heavy to move.

She started to hold her breath lest she gagged from the stench of rot until eventually the beast turned and left. It took some seconds before she finally released her breath and quickly fell to her knees. Nick was being a lot more logical than she was right now. She started speaking, albeit a small bit of a crying tone to her voice. "It's not like I wanted to wake up in a forest with a disgusting Wendigo like thing or whatever it was. I don't even know where we are. Like, at all."

She sighed before turning to her fox companion. "Are you fine Hikari? No injuries or traumas or anything?" She asked, trying to calm herself more than check on ghe fox girl.

"Running is easy enough, see?" Jor mentioned as she strode pretty confidently with the fox in her arms. "I'm worried your little legs might not keep running as well as Nick and I's strides." She mentioned, not looking behind. Really, the forest was nice. Well, until it wasn't. It was really dark now and that was a small bit annoying. It was pretty and peaceful and now she felt like she was in a horror movie of sorts. "I really hope this doesn't turn into a Steven King novel or something. I'm really not a fan of those at all."

In their flight from those ruins, however, there was this Thudding noise. Frustrating as it were, Jor tried to ignore it and focus on running. Surely it was just her mind playing tricks on her. This world was a little weird but that didn't mean it was... Horrid enough to have something chase her as soon as she woke up.

Well, she tried to ignore it, but the heavy thudding of whatever was behind her seemed to get louder and louder. She didn't know what it was. She was absolutely sure she didn't WANT to know what it was, however, she needed to see. She looked back to see haunting, green-hued wisps staring at Nick, Hikari and her. That was terrifying on it's own. She had an answer to what was thudding after them. What she was not expecting however...

"C-c-c-entipedes! Nononononnono.... Disgusting!" She exclaimed, pushing her body to it's limit to run faster than the multi-legged creepy crawly chasing after them. She wasn't sure if that green eyed thing was in cahoots with the bugs, but she absolutely detested both parties to a huge extent. "I hate these damn bugs!" She cried out, running quick as she could looking around for something that would stop the bugs behind them. Slow them down even, though she had little idea on what to do in either case.

After she asked the question, the noise was getting louder and more frustratingly kind of annoying. And terrifying. Very terrifying. Jor wouldn't let it bother her too much. Otherwise she'd be quaking in her boots, worried until something bad happened. "I really don't like that noise one bit." She mentioned before Nick, basically agreed with her inner thoughts of "Let's leave." Though she didn't quite understand one part.

"Opposite the FOE? What does that even mean?" Jor asked aloud before shaking her head, pushing the curiosity about that statement to the back of her head. "You know, nevermind. Doesn't matter. The opposite direction of the scraping I assume? Well, if we plan on moving..." The snake woman scooped the fox girl up in her arms. She felt... Quite a bit stronger than in her previous life. "Here, you look like you might have a bit of trouble moving fast if it came to it." She mentioned while starting to slowly walk in the direction they intended to go.

She should be able to hold the fox. She wasn't all that heavy really, and she felt quite strong now. No pain in her arms as she held the fox? It was interesting. "Might get a bit bumpy, uhh... Hikari? Right." Jor turned to Nick as she picked up her pace. "I think we'll be fine like this, boy-o. Keep those legs moving or you might be fresh meat for some weird animal or something." They just needed to escape now and she was hoping her running speed was enough to keep her and the fox safe. She also hoped Nick was able to run at a safe pace. She'd rather not have to make a permanent goodbye already.

"Navigating?" Jor said, tapping the side of her face in thought. "Well, I don't even know if any of the tricks from our world would work here. The sun could rise from the south and set in the east for all we know. Not that I really traveled more than to university and the store." The snake-like woman would mention before shrugging considering some options before smiling at the two people in front of her "Regardless, pleasure to meet the both o' you. Nick and... Hikari?"

Nick seemed kinda like a normal guy, relatively. After all, Jor had this new serpentine body, one that was a bit bigger now than when she was still a niche author and Hikari was some sort of cute fox girl. Speaking of, Jor patted the small Fox girl on the head. It was soothing to do. Not wanting to leave Nick out, she thought to take a step toward him and offer a handshake but he had his hands in his pockets already so she opted to not offer for now.

With that out of her consideration, she decided to take a look around the area a bit more. See if there was nothing that seemed to be out of place or perhaps stood out. Maybe a sigh of which way they could go. "Well, if we don't find any trail or anything, maybe we should just head in a random direction? It's probably better than staying here. Could find a rock to make marks in trees so we could always find our way back here if we needed to." It was a suggestion alright. She wasn't really sure of survival tips or tricks but it sounded good to her. "And does anyone else hear that noise? An animal?" She asked, concerned about the noise she heard.

What was she even doing? A university lecture? She had work on her latest book to do but she had agreed to guest lecture for a few mythology sessions for a number of weeks. Only for her to be ran into and accidently hit her head just right on a lamp on one of the campus walkways. An embarrassing way to go for sure. She didn't even really need to go... But what was done was done. And what was done was her life. At least it didn't hurt.

"Excuse me, ma'am, you can't sleep here."

"Ngggghh...." She would complain. She had just been sleeping? Well, she felt tired still. In fact, she needed to sleep a bit more. "Five more minutes." There were no blankets on her. That was weird. She slept with three blankets on her at any time that wasn't summer. And even then.... She'd reach out for a blanket, only to grab the hand that had pushed on her to wake her up. "Hmmm? Wait a sec. I've not lived with someone else for years." It was then that she opened her eyes and saw the cute fox girl trying to wake her.

There were so many thoughts flowing through her head. First, what was this adorable creature in front of her? Second, why was she in some... random looking forest? Third, was there a man just laying there too? Oh, no. He wasn't laying. He was getting up. "Hmm. Hmm. I see, I see. Yes, I remember now. Once a fleeting life, I have fallen into the cycle of reincarnation. Or something like that. Maybe." She smiled brightly and stood before grabbing the small fox girl in front of her and hugging her.

"Hello there adorable fox girl and the random man I don't know. My name is... Jormungandr. Just call me Jor, if you please." She hugged the fox girl tight to her chest for some seconds before setting her down. It was then that her tongue instinctively acted. It looked serpentine and it flicked out of her mouth slightly, before retracting into her mouth. When it returned to her mouth her face scrunched up a bit. "That was a small bit unexpected, even for me."

Reborn in a Fantasy World, This Time I Shall...!

The small, green goblin scratched at her temple. There were a few things she wanted to really do here, finding alcohol to drink perhaps near the top of the list, and there seemed to be some easy way to do the majority of that list at the moment. "I don't plan on making a mess... Though, I don't know if I can read the writing here well. Or at all. Probably not." She COULD speak with this witch and her familiar so perhaps. Rita looked between Relki and Ilsa. "Could one of you... Show me something like "Alchemy for Dummies?" I wouldn't know where to start. I'll be out of your hair for a bit so you can do... Well, anything else you really need to do. Perhaps let me borrow... Let me have something to work with?"

The goblin stood up to look a bit closer at the two. "I think I can forget about a familiar for now. I don't even know what mana is, really. Or how to use it, so I'll pass on that for now. Not that I'm not jealous of the both of you." She mentioned, not expanding on what exactly she was jealous of or anything. "But, uhh, yea. Help me learn Alchemy. Uh, please. I'll probably make myself useful if I can learn it. Sounds fun at least." She was hoping what Relki said about Ilsa was right and that she would be kind enough to begrudgingly help her start out with Alchemy. Otherwise, she was going to make herself at home and look for that book on her own... As difficult as that might be with her new, stunted height.

Pokemon: Dream

"Hold on there buster. You can't use this thing properly." Camila said putting her finger up as if telling it to hold on a moment. "Now, strike a pose little guy. I'll get your good side." The Pokedex went up and she angled a good shot at the Paras before snapping another picture before she held it out again, a little lower to the ground so he could get a good look at the picture. "I think I got it. You be the judge though, if you like the picture." She added smiling at the cute little bug Pokemon. She looked at the other ones. "Do you guys want your picture taken? Or, I can take one with you all grouped up?"

Camila didn't seem all too worried about them attacking her right now, though she wished she had a way to print one out for them if they wanted a picture of themselves. "It's all up to you lot. And your other friends that are hiding right now as well. I swear I'm harmless as long as you are." REalistically, it was probably more like she was talking to herself more than them. She gave a friendly wave and smile to the hiding Ledyba that she could see.
