Re: Windra - "Who needs wings?"

As Windra came in for the predicted bite, Kiara braced herself for the sudden amputation by sharp teeth. However what was not expected were the words of humor and playful jest. Kiara was not amused. Her arm burned like fire with a ferocious itch to follow as the plant's dermal secretions reacted to ...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

"Well," Kiara started cautiously, "I've never met a friendly revenant before, so this is indeed a nice change of pace." She emphasized and then finished chipperly. "My name is Kiara Willabur. I tend to the pigs on my family farm not far from here if you'd need a place to sta...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

Though the lackluster response was disconcerting enough, Kiara had not expected for Zom to open up her abdomen like she had. Fear ran across Kiara's face, but she steeled herself quickly and reached for one of the fallen worm's tongues. Kiara sliced into them with the scalpel and coated both tools w...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

As the sharp tube pierced Zom's stomach, an overload of spawn pods lumpily shot into the revenant, it squealed in joy as the translucent bulbs nearly emptied entirely. As the worm was removed from Zom forcefully, she could feel the muscles of the tentacles relax a bit. It would try to flee, but was ...

Re: Agra val'Malek

Kiara, from the top of the summit, did a unwitting bow and nod leaning from the left half of her body to show respect. Whether it was a proper enough bow, she was unsure as she had never had a chance to meet many outside her large family let alone those of more complex social structures, but the bow...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

From the perspective of Kiara, she watched with blurred vision as the worm advanced on Zom. Between gasping for breath and finding the strength to stand, she found herself grasping her shovel as she stood and moved behind the creature of now insane ghostly laughter. Kiara could barely see the silhou...

"Oh no, not rude at all. We didn't exchange pleasantries because you needed to know I was not a threat and I needed to finish my drawing preferably without getting attacked. Damned Giggle Worms take it out of you..." Kiara said with a chipper tone and smile as she secured her pen in her ja...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

Kiara whirled back with her foldable shovel and let loose her fears into the form of violence as she chopped at the Giggle Worm's form. With a wet thwack, neon green blood sprayed the hobgoblin and the tunnel walls. As Kiara began to swing again, the purple body whipped around and sent her flying i...

Re: Windra - "Who needs wings?"

Kiara began feeling the tingle of a burn from the poisonous weeds on her arm as sand, water, and presumed snot came from the beast as they inhaled Kiara's scent and exhaled the debris. Though Kiara felt the adrenaline from the fight or flight responses, she wanted to ask, what's a New York? but refr...

Re: At Sixes and Sevens (Bedlam Introduction)

As Naira dove in and waved at the construct, it was revealed to be a Backswimmer made entirely of bronze and was the size of a long house. The accumulated crustations, barnacles, and evident rust lending credence to a long voyage without resurface for maintenance. What was peering outward from the w...

Re: Windra - "Who needs wings?"

Kiara observed as the reptilian decended the waters with fascination as she continued to draw all that she could detail in a sketch. Though with all of the motion she had been doing to keep an eye on Windra, her divided attention resulted in a poor sketch and initially missed that Windra had legs ki...

Re: At Sixes and Sevens (Bedlam Introduction)

As Naira paddled, she got some of the horizon behind her in a span of time that was to be better than expected from a small raft with a ramshackle singular sail and a paddle of old driftwood. The wind picked up in just the right way for the sail to catch the current. As the raft jerked to accommodat...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

As Zom took a good look at the Deep Worm, the revenant could discern from the dim lighting. The purple hued skin of the worm seemed covered in dirt and debris sticking to a mucosal film that shimmered and reflected bits of illumination from the entrance of this tunnel. Peering further down the busin...

Re: Nox

Bedlam moved little except to expose the palm of their hand in a 'giving' gesture towards Nox. "As much as I may know about the various worlds that I occupy currently, this one happens to elude me at present" Bedlam said with a playful tone. Bedlam observes the suit and the lack of an occu...

Re: Kiara Willabur, Explorer and Wildest Wildlife Cataloguer

Kiara had been calling out for what seemed like ages. And at the last moment of hope, rescue had come, but not in the fashion she was accustomed to. Instead of a hand reaching towards hers, she found herself watching a blur of motion barrel towards the 10 foot worm that continued to emit a chilling ...

Re: Juno: or Oh no, it's Him

Bedlam had merely been present for these events and operated better in smaller, more mouldable groups of denizens. Knowing when the cards should be played and when to pull out; they had simply given a nod to those clamored around the grphyon and bid adieu to the scene. Bedlam walked off into the tre...
