Stalker kept his attention straight on the Wild King as he spoke, his feathers bristling for a moment before he nodded at the words. He listened about the plan to go to the Red Embers and the Bears, swaying his tail slightly before he nodded once in agreement.

Then the Wild King sent them on their way, Stalker gave a bow to his king before turning away and started to head out, he ignored Roose's anxious glance towards him. He stayed silent until they got out of the Kings Court. "Tae'lan nar elen'dor. (This will be interesting.)" He spoke, glancing towards his companion after a moment of silence.

"Na'lor seran doral'thel in'araen'shol.(I can't wait to have my teeth in their necks.)" He added on with a bigger grin over his maw.

Mimi instinctively relaxed as the tension dropped in the room. Val and Le Frey seemed to both relax, and Wren was back! But... Ferz was talking through Wren, and Mimi wasn't sure if they trusted Ferz as much as they trusted Wren.

Their attention drew towards Inu as she spoke through Le Frey, their tail swaying in mild fear. They didn't focus on the Falloways at the moment as they were thinking about their next words. Mimi looked to Val as he spoke, they were unphazed by Mercy's words.
They turned back to Le Frey for a moment. "If the King said to kill another wild... Would you?" They asked Inu, a serious tone to their voice with an undertone of fear.

"If you are heading out, I will come with." Ferz added, tilting his head slightly. He gave Wren back control of his body, indicated by a bit of a stumble before he turned to look towards VV and A.
"You don't have to trust me." He said quietly, away from the others. "I was once one of Umbra's experiments as well. I don't entirely understand how you feel, as I don't know how gruesome your 'creations' were. But I know how Harsh Umbra is."

Ferz stepped away from Wren for a moment, finally materializing himself away from the human, he was vaguely see-through, as if he was a ghost. "You are afraid of the Wild King for a reason, little Wild." He said calmly as he crossed his arms, looking towards Mimi. "You have backstory with the King too then?"
Mimi shrunk into themselves a bit more, giving a small nod. Ferz nodded slightly, almost cracking a smile on his boney-deer-like face.
"I do too, do not worry." He admitted gently, kneeling down to offer a spectral hand towards Mimi, inviting the dinosaur to come closer. "I was once a valued hunter. I was sent out to track down humans for food. My last mission was to track down humans who escaped."
Mimi had stepped forward slightly before they froze at the words of Ferz, their feathers fluffed aggressively before they stepped back in fear.

Mimi looked around the room slowly. Were they safe here? Would they turn them over to the King if they knew what they had done?
Mimi stepped back more, walking backwards until their back hit a wall and they crouched in fear, huddling under their feathered arms.

Ah cool cool, just making sure. Mimi was going to be very worried about who they aligned themselves with if they were on the same side proper ahaha.
Should have a post up tomorrow-ish, doing christmas baking tomorrow so unsure when I'll get a post up <3

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

please excuse my stupid sleepy brain but does Ghost Corp work for the Wild King or are they just sort of neutral?

Ezra: //force feeds Webb a portion of human flesh...

@Estylwen

Yeah that's what I was alluding to ahahah

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

Don't worry, Webb won't willingly eat human meat until absolutely needed. Otherwise he's happy hunting little birds and offering services to butchers for standard meat.
But I thought I'd add it in case someone wanted to try and use it against him at some point uwu

Anyway I'll add that to Webbs sheet and add a little thing onto my post that I thought of!

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@Estylwen Had a late night idea to make Webb a bit more interesting(plus i want to roll some dice eventually too ahaha)
I was thinking; he's able to eat any meat, but theres a catch.
Meat prepped for humans - no effect
Wild caught animal meat(small birds, bugs, fish etc) - ablw to eat but will have to bring up the non-digestable pieces in 1d4 days time.
Human meat - 'feral' for up to 1d12 hours, is violently sick once back to normal.
Feral just basically means he's like a wild animal and is aggitated and unable to be consoled etc.

That sound okay?

A Collectors Case Files

De-Extinction;

We didn’t know what would happen, we just wanted to help the world…
I promise we didn’t know that this would happen like it did…

Start Transmission;
If you can hear this, please just take a moment to listen. I promise this will be worth your time.

Firstly, I want to apologise for what myself and other scientists did all those years ago. We didn’t think it would cause such a problem… We didn’t know it was going to cause so much loss.
I.. Think I need to explain myself.

My name is Doctor Alex Holmes. I was the head Science Director of ‘Project Renewal’; I was hired by the government to find a way to stop our resources depleting. It was supposed to be for the goodness of humanity…
Oh how we fucked up royally, yes I know.
I… We…

Sorry, I’m a bit shaky. My mind is a bit scattered, I’ll try not to ramble.

We found a way to double the resources we had left in the world, without needing to spend effort on trying to reduce our carbon footprint, go out to space or anything like that.
We found a lost god. It sounded too good to be true… And it was. It was way too good to be true.
Their name is-

The transmission cuts for a moment, the static sounding slightly warped, before it cuts in once more.

- It’s true intentions.
It told us it could revert what we had done, give us back what we had originally taken without taking away from what we already had.
But in order to do it, we had to give it something as a sacrifice…

Many men were used. Destroyed. Killed.
But the barrier between our world and theirs was shattered. They slipped through with ease, towering over us immensely and we were told - in our minds - that we were to be rewarded…

Reality warped that day.
Another Earth; we still don’t know where it came from, or when it came from, slammed into ours - Warping our entire world together with whatever it was.

Gods, what we lost was irreparable. We couldn’t repair what we did.. I’m sorry. I really am, I didn’t mean to cause this.
I didn’t mean for our technology to be wiped out, for things not to work. To basically throw us back into a technological stone age.

Please. If you’re out there.
Keep fighting.
Remember, the beasts are the least of our worries. Humans are known to train and domesticate, and I believe we can still do that with these things. But watch out.
They are out there.

Hungry.
Starving
They came to feed. And we allowed them in.

Keep strong. Humans are good at persisting.

Welcome to De-Extinction!

The world has been ‘destroyed’; an old Eldritch god woken by scientists in the year 2039 brought another Earth - Unknown where or when it came from - into the one we know today.
In doing so, time was thrown through a loop, as well as civilization as we knew it.

The lands ripped apart and strung themselves back together; some forming like they had in Pangea, some just pulling away into their own separate continents.
What was Europe and North America was shot together, turned into a twisted land of beasts and men.

It is not known what happened outside of this new Continent, now known as ‘Goldeya’. Radios went down, the internet seemed to disappear. A large ripple of technology destroying power echoed around the world once the two planets combined.
As well as destroying structures of cities and technology, something else came from the ‘Fissure Event’, as people are calling it.

Prehistoric Beasts were brought back, some didn’t survive the difference in atmosphere for longer than the first year; which is lucky - Meganeura was a hell of a thing to fight against. And while we don’t get to sneak around Dreadnoughtus, the smaller Sauropods still wander the land, but stick to the lush forests.

Pterosaurs roam the skies alongside other larger birds, of course the time-native birds seemed to survive okay as well. Most modern animals seemed to adapt to the new world well enough, the destruction of cities and reforming of native habitats in different spots seemed to help spike some numbers.

Therapods roam basically everywhere; the smaller, feathered ones stick to the closed parts of the broken streets of whatever small settlements still pop up around the place. There aren’t many proper cities around anymore, after the event caused most of the power to disappear.
Plus, the larger, more dangerous Theropods are drawn to noise; so big cities were never going to be viable again.

The main area this will take place in is <Insert name> <Insert Map>
<Area information>

But Prehistorics aren’t the only thing we need to worry about.
Stalkers is what they’re called.
They’re humanoid in shape, but they perch like monkeys in trees; their arms long and twisted. They’re drenched in shadows, we don’t know what they fully are, no one has been able to destroy one yet.
They hunt humans, they hunt Dinosaurs, they hunt animals. They’re hungry and we can’t stop them, nor can we send them back to where they came from…
_{Or can we?}

The Doctor

Unknown

Unknown (Presumably over 40 years old) | Male | The Doctor - Head of Cult of the Black Web

Description: No one really knows The Doctors true identity. He is mysterious, conniving, and cruel. Always watching, always plotting.
He wants nothing other than to control all of Nocturnia from his underground operations. He wants nothing but the Cult of the Black Web to be well known across the land. He knows of the one who will bring it all being in Nocturnia, but he has yet to find them.

He has eyes everywhere.
Watching.
Listening.

Gyft: Shadow Manipulation
The Doctor can control the shadows around him into solid objects; most often he uses it for Blades and Daggers, but if and when he needs to, he’s able to manifest them into a set of shadow tendrils from his back.

He can’t do too much with his shadows, striking them drains his energy and control. But he can block most standard attacks to give himself time to get away.
(If Fired at by a lot of bullets, his blockage will be limited and he’ll likely be knocked back or lose control of the shadows)

hehe.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

okay so I was doing research on Pyroraptors (Raptors in general actually) wondering which one was the biggest and found out the Pyroraptors (What Mimi is based off) BARELY comes up to the waist of a standard human. Which just makes Mimi, even cuter, but also so much more funnier xD
