Age: Lost count at 5709 (Appears 17)
Mature Adult at Age: 18 (Apparently never got there)
Appearance: Overall Humanoid. Juno looks human with the exceptions of his black cat ears and matching tail. He has Juno stands about 5'6" from bottom of his feet to the tops of his ears. He has an agile build to him, meant for quick reflexes and quick responses. He looks like an attractive female, smooth pale skin, with red eyes and straight, highlight pink hair that goes down to his neck. He has upon his back two small wings each 8 inches long that appear to be semi transparent and made of light magic. These do not grant him the ability to fly and are purely cosmetic.
Juno wears a suit of armor that protects most of his body, he wears metal boots, pair of black pants with large pockets, matching metal armor that protects his upper a lower torso, but with enough exposed jointage in the legs to allow free movement. (Covered by a red mithryl cloth that goes down to his knees.) Attached to the shoulder pads of the armor is a large red mythryl cape that drapes down to the back of Juno's thighs, covering his wings and entire backside from sight.
He caries a music box that he uses to play tunes and keep himself entertained. A small toy from long ago.
Equipment
-Armor
-Advantages:
The armor protects most of Juno's vitals and allows him to fair well in combat. It changes color depending on the time of day, snow white during sunup and obsidian black for the night. The suit will light up in brilliant white light if two claps in succesion are delivered.
-Disadvantages:
It counters Juno's physical build and while parts of it are made from the wonder craftsmanship of Mythril. The cloth parts can be burned, exposing Juno's weak spots for easy strikes. Also the clapping isn't unique to Juno. If someone else decides to clap twice, it can cause his armor to light up.
-Rose Red Mk VI - A large broadsword, decorated with a red rose upon it in various precious stones.
-Advantages
This sword can deflect spells if in contact with a magical projectile.
-Disadvantages
The sword is large, bulky and requires a single. It's also unsharpened so it's meant for blugoning someone unconscious or disarming them rather than slicing and dicing. Both hands are needed to effectively use this weapon.
-Lancer - a machine gun with a chainsaw bayonet.
-Advantages
It works in tandem with Juno's -Kinesis spells. Able to shoot out a small infinite projectiles of fireballs/wind/icepellets at a target. Takes 10 energy to fire 200 bullets. Two hands required for the chainsaw.
-Disadvantages
Juno needs to fully concentrate to use this weapon effectively. If he gets distracted, there's no bullets to fire. Not to mention it's spread makes it inaccurate. And using the chainsaw is a very, very time consuming process. Only good against one attacker at a time, and leaves him exposed to another attack when using the chainsaw.
-Deathbringer - A series of collapsed curved blades that rests on Juno's wrist, a skull decoration lies at its center. When fully composed it forms a circular blade that can be chucked at an enemy and called back to it's resting position.
-Advantages
Serves as a target for Juno to use for spells when in flight. The skull decoration is invincible (see the extra profile below on WHO this skull is)
-Disadvantages
When in flight, Juno doesn't have a shield. And his arms do not have armor on them, only a thick coating of black rubber. Making them weak spots for attack.
-Skullzors circlet-
-Advantages
A simple circlet with a small skull decoration in the center of it, enables Juno to pummel beings consting of etheral or non material composition.
-Disadvantages: Held by simple cloth band, easily breakable.
Personality: Juno is carefree and does not care about people. He has a tendency to make judgements just based of off appearences and first impressions. And is mostly regarded by those whom meet him as "a respectable ***hole"
Juno prefers to get on everyones "good side" or at least be held in a respectable position. Meaning he hates it when people generally dislike him, or forget about him. Unless he has forgotten about the person, then the feeling is mutural. Basically he's happy just being memorable, though he would prefer it if he was remembered for being a good aquatiance.
Now Juno is a pirate, meaning he likes to collet and steal valuable and precious things. Rumors of treasure and odd events attract him like a moth to an open flame.
When attacked Juno's a little bit... odd. He'd rather stick around and steal items left and right off his attacker than landing a single blow before running away. But when it actually comes to a forced battle he's a bit of a genius. He aways tries to get the opponent to attack so he can parry and eventually make it clear that his opposition has no chance of defeating him. According to him has never killed a person in combat and doesn't hope to. However there have been several "fighting accidents"
Drastic changes come as no supprise to Juno, being a pirate he's nearly always expecting the unexpected. If someone was to tell him he was about to be blown to smitherines he'd be the type to smile, nod and just carry on about is business as if he knew the whole thing in advance. Of course he probably did.
Juno's an optomist, believing that everything will turn out right in his favor. Specially if he can tilt the odds. The more he believes something is in his favor the more willing he is to bet on it.
As for privacy? Juno fluxuates. It really depends on how much he's wearing. If he's decent then he'll be find socialing with anyone, but if naked or in his trousers he'll want to hide behind something.
However Juno is a bit... calculating and cruel. He keeps telling people he's a pirate and they just don't believe him becase he's so friendly. The truth is it's an act. After befriending most of the goodies there are glimpses where he's been thinking very, very articulately to a haunting degree. But this is just the effect on people, it usually leaves them wondering if he just makes stuff up as he goes or if he plans the whole incident out.
The trick is that he remains calm in the heat of things, Keeping this way and not acting as much as he should gives off the appearence that he's planned something out. The truth? He doesnt.
To the wiser and older residents of the forest "There's just something not right about that 'Juno' boy
Huge Note:
Limit bar - To ensure that Juno does get exausted from his powers. He has a power bar. At the start of every thread he only has 75/100 points of power and every post, during a fight, the amount increases by 5. However, depending on the degree of the spell, shows how much drain it has. If Juno's points ever hits or goes under 0 He'll be knocked out. Also Juno's speed will be severly decreased and signs of exaustion will show when he hits the 25 or lower mark. The amount does not increase during a calm moment of talking.
When knocked out or asleep Juno is helpless, but recovers 10 points a post. He may revive as soon as he recovers 25 points of energy.
Life bar - To ensure that Juno can go down in a fight, he has 100/100 points of life. If it hits zero he will die and auto-resurection will enable. He can only recover, at 5 points a post, when not fighting.
Abilities:
Psychic powers
-Telekinesis - The ability to lift objects using the power of one's mind. 5-50
-Pyrokinesis - The ability to set things on fire by thought. 5-100
-Aerokinesis - The ability to summon wind by thought. 1-25
-Photokinesis - The ability to summon light by thought. 1-50
-Cyrokinesis - The ability to freeze by thought. 1-50
-Chronokinesis - The ability to alter time by thought. Used to speed up or slow down a specifict target. 10-90
-Clairvoyence - The ability to see from other's viewpoints. 1-5
-Matter from thought - the ability to summon objects from thought. 1-100
AutoReserection- If Juno is "killed" he will spring back to life after a few moments, good as new. However, he'll spring up in a different location, and not the one he was vanquished in. So if he was killed at the swamps, he might revive in at the forest's edge.
Portal hopping-
Juno's favorite hobby, at the edge of the forest, various beings are dropped off from different places. Sometimes Juno does the reverse of this. Racing from the waste lands to the other places beyond the forest, making a 'holiday' out of his travel. Usually ending up coming back with party treats and booze.
Armor removal:
Juno sheds his armor exposing massive weak points but enabling much faster movement. In this event Juno's life points half to a max out of 50 and his maximum energy limit doubles along with the amount gained. This does not effect the energy points he possesses. So if he threw off the armor at the beginning. His life would immediately drop to 50/50 but his energy would be 75/200
Disadvantages:
Concentration - any of the 'thought' powers requires full concentration and requires Juno to stand still and relax for them to be cast. The bigger the spell the more time required to do the action and the more energy is required for Juno to cast it. (See the note about power limits)
Tele - picks up objects and gently throws it 50 feet away from the caster. The larger the object the more time required for the object to be thrown. (Small rocks, no problem. Trash cans a bit of a sweaty brow. Boulders will leave him winded.)
Pyro- only flammable objects can be set on fire, and bigger objects require more energy to be set. Also there's the ability of fire resistance (Player permission if trying to set a character on fire) on living things. (Setting things on fire doesn't tire Juno much, however expect him only to warm a forest tree by ten degrees farenheight before passing out cold.) However, unlike the other powers it requires him to concentrate for a full 5 seconds before he can set the object on fire.
Aero - summons wind by thought, the bigger the amount of wind the greater the exaustion for Juno. This includes summoning lightning as well. (If he summoned a lightning bolt. Juno would then proceed to faint or at the very least colapse.)
Photo - holy magic, the bigger the spell the more exaustion to Juno. Small bits of holy light, not a problem. Large elaborate pentragrams designed to send a demon to heck? Expect fainting.
Cyro - Juno's most comfortable of the kinesis spells, he can summon up ice fairly quickely to the point where it's reflexive. Unfortinatley this means he can also be exaused fairly quickly from summoning up large amounts of ice. (Player permission required if trying to freeze a character)
Chrono - Target spell, requires standing around for ten seconds concentrating on what needs to be sped up. Sweaty brow, exaustion and possibly losing the ablitity to stand after this spell is cast.
Clairvoyence - (Player permission required) Perhaps the oddest of all mind spells. If the subject is willing Juno can look at the world through the other peresons eyes. However it's not limited to just that person, if he has an oject that belongs to them, he can also see what they're seeing. However, Juno's own eyes are closed at this time, and since he has no control of what the person is looking at... it could possibly leave him vaunrable to attack.
For example of he used it on a security camera he'd see everything from it's point of view, avoiding being caught on tape. But if he used it on a hungry tiger that was looking at him, then hed probably see a pink haired can of spam. He usually uses this ability to check his 'relationship' with everyone who looks at him.
Matter from thought - The bigger the object summoned the more mental power it takes for Juno to summon it. Tea pot and tea? Not a real problem. A cart? That will leave Juno colapsed.
Stasis - While he is immortal, his body is mortal, and while killing only allows him to come back, knocking him comatose or trapping him in a secure place will probably keep him locked up for a while.
Also killing him off delays him, since it takes time for a new body to be prepared.
Physical build - Juno's body is mortal. Meaning it can be destroyed in the same manner as a humans. Burned to death, frozen to death, corroded, smashed... whatever. His powers do not grant him any resistance to anything.
Mental taxation - Juno only has so much energy to cast spells, but he can use them all in one post or none at all. However if he uses all his power at once he'll pass out shortly afterwards. Leaving him vaurnable to attack.
Traveling - When Juno goes portal hopping he can be absent for seconds, minutes, days, weeks or even years before he gets back. Same can be said for his duration in where he goes. This could lead to problems in recollection and changes in mood depending on what he experienced there.
Family:
History: Pirate Captian Juno... a bumbeling pirate who has gotten a name for himself as being the provider of liquior in the forest and being an overall good guy. However it probably won't take a detective to wonder why exactly this guy his handing out with the four horsemen.
According to the stories and rumors about him, Juno was a dimension hopping pirate, who would go about raising havoc to chase things known as "shinies" and drink alcohol just for a fun time. This is only partially true.
Juno's full history:
Part1:
Juno was born by an accident on the high seas. A pirate ship was attacking a navel one, there the captians cat was shot, grazing it's family jewels. This stray shot carried enough genetic material and carried enough velocity that it hit a very weathy woman, concieveing a child.
Now that woman was known to be a rich upper class lady, and her being pregnant was quite a scandal. So she abandoned her son at the docks, leaving behind the family crest and a note for his well being. He was discovered by some royal guards and due to his state of infancy he was stripped of his title and riches (To the joy of the greedy king), only left with the crest of the red rose.
He was then put under the care of an elderly (and retired) mage, "Glassglow." There he learned the art of baking and cooking, and due to his catlike nature he developed ways of improving quizine. But at Age 7 Glassglow died of old age, and Juno had to fend for himself. He was considred a rare creature that was so shameful that even his parents had both abandoned him. A bastard child, and one of odd looks, pink hair and red eyes. He was treated cruely for 5 years, but his luck had changed when the head naval Admeral Jane, who had heard of his excellent cooking, took him aboard as a chef. There he was introduced to the Admiral's daughter, Belle Jane. However Juno was sent aboard the flagship and was to cook, only to be shanghaied into piracy after a vicious attack. The captian was killed.
Juno, had risen though the ranks to eventually earn the title of the previous captian "nightmare." And took to the waters doing a method of "Vigilante" work, weeding out corruption and taking blame for their crimes as a murderous devil who was as hard to catch as a dream. When Belle met him out on the high seas she thought him to be the murderer of her father. After all only the vice-admiral Shorah survived to give off the body count.
Juno eventually exposed the truth about the situation, his continous encounters with the navy helped him find out that Vice admiral used the attack as a means to kill Admiral Jane as a means for him to succeed though the ranks. He then proceeded to use corruption as a means to use the navy like a mafia.
After this, Juno managed to convice Belle about the truth, whistle blowing the entire navy and weeding out the corruption. Juno was still a pirate to her and was granted a few days of "Head start" as a pardon. The series of chases afterward led to love. And they were to be married. But that day never came.
Belle had risen to take her fathers place as Head Admiral. Now going by her full name. Belle "Gunner" Calamity Jane. Juno's first mate, Veovis, was a double agent of the navy. Killing Belle at the altar during the excange of vows. Revealing that he was Veovis Shorah, and that he would root out all corruption, including fraternizing with the enemy.
He then ran fearing Juno's revenge. Leaving the pirate to morn at the altar. Veovis was also Juno's best man.
Juno had his chance for revenge, storming the naval headquarters in a relentless onslaugh of expertise. Not killing a single man and fighting like a "nightmare," there and gone so quickly leaving a feeling of fear when he left. Juno held his weapon, and revealed it. It had never ben drawn from it's scabbard ever since the wedding incident, ready to slit the throat of the man that caused him so much misery. But when Juno saw the terror in Veovis's eyes, the weakness. Juno realized that taking revenge wasn't the right path and layed down his weapon. After all Veovis had ended up that way. Juno gave his last request to be hanged by Veovis's hand. And it was done so.
Juno's antics and story however were published as a memoir by Veovis and his legend passed on thoughout the ages. Till it was time for the world to end...
Part2:
After Juno died he was 'archived' saved for the reincarnation process to begin life anew on another planet. However while he was going through transfers, the four horsmen were scheduled to delete his planet. As they did so, Juno was injured and corruped by their destructive power and, since he didn't posess a whole soul, joined up with other fragments like him. Reparing and replacing himself, till eventually he was whole enough to be reincarnated.
He was then born in a place where all misfits existed. THe mad world known as 'Wonderland.' There he learned to excercies his wit, imagination and learn how to deal with ever-changing physics. To become the more agile pirate he is today. Eventually he uncovered the secret of 'Wonderland' The looking glass. Which he took and used to travel to new worlds. Starting the process all over again... But this time with more memories in tact.
Now he began to unleash his reign of terror and create trouble for the gods. Pillaging worlds, which caused people to pray for guidence... which got the attention of their gods... which led to complicatoins. The first time it was a simple matter of making the pirate miserable, but when instances of multiple pirate attacks across several worlds, with the same name.... began to cause alarm. This marked the beginning of Juno's 'Viral' Status.
The Gods decided to hire the four horsmen to capture Juno, but he proved to be too cunning for them. Always mananaging to slip out of fingers. It was perhaps the biggest interdimensional chase for this one pirate who kept on mucking up the affairs of worlds. Typically he'd open up a can of worms that would radically change the worlds 'planned' future, thowing off eons of careful planning. Then out of the blue... Lady Luck stepped in and offered a preposal for Juno.
This led to Juno's bounty hunting days.
Part 3:
Juno eventually became a hitman for the gods, working for bidders and stratigically played and was played by the gods for entertainment. Using his talents to raid worlds and even go as far as assination... but this went a little too far.
Events occoured and aproximately over a milenna ago Juno was given the task of assinating the Reaver god. Handed to him by the god of corruption. Being business like Juno did so, fighting with the godess and eventually puting her to her final rest. But this didn't go without consequences. For defeating the god she cursed him, forcing a piece of her power into him while she went to become reincarnated... and god of corruption got some of her power as well, mucking up the entire re-birth process for a certian kind of species. The bit of power are the pheonix wings upon Juno's back, which does absolutely nothting. But it does annoy him to no end.
Part 4.
The curse lingered in Juno rattling about his brain and reminding him constantly of consequences and what could happen. He had become worried again in his line of work. Confused as to what to do... and less... by the reigns. It was with this newly discovered guilt that Juno decided to retire from his bounty status... and take up the reigns of piracty again.
He kept a fairly low profile this time, doing eveyrthing organized. Killing no one but reaping in the profits, buildign up a name with minimal spillage of blood... He acutally was happy and content this time.
but then during one of his experiments with a long lost artifact sent him to a particular forest.
Part five:
Juno has been missing for a week ever since the 'Naira' incident. The reality being what was a week for Deep forest was about 500 years for Juno. He spent his time traveling from world to world initally trying to get back, but eventually forgetting why or how. During this time he expored further into his magic studies and found out why his magic was so loosly connected. After figuring out how to wild his new form of mental magic he went to another world and one way or another joined a band of paladins and their richous quest. He eventually even rose to the level of 'Cannoness' or his his case 'cannoner' before he decided to travel again. At this point all memory of Deep forest to him was like trying to remember a one stop bar during a heavy night of drinking.
He re-arrived into Deep forest by accident, another world traveling mishap.
Other notes:
Randomly dancing in the forest to his little music box which he keeps on his person. While it gives the impression that he's having innocent fun, it's really battle training. The timing of the moves and his correography keep him alert and agile in the event that he might be attacked.
Oh the HP and the MP bars are just to make sure the RPer doesn't go overboard at its own request.
Juno has 5 vessles which he pilots: the most fameous is the Nightmare, a flying ship that he uses to travel around the forest. It's armed with cannons and has a slow reload time, plus it's made of wood and is very easy to break.
The other vessels are two flying Lifeboats, one is aboard the Nightmare, known as 'twilight foal.' The other 'missing marbles' hangs from his travelling house 'the lost cause.' It's a big Victorian Style house that runs on steam to power it's functions, such as keeping itself warm and moving from one place to another.
The last of these 5 vessels is 'Rose red', which Juno sometimes uses as a snowboard.
Name: Alexander
Species: Skull
Gender: Male
Evil/Good: Evil
Age: Deceased
Mature Adult at Age: He's dead, can't get more mature than that
Appearance: A disembodied talking human skull. Bleach white, bald, no eyes, Missing nose. Completely composed of bone. Skinny.
Personality: Cynical, absolutely cynical. He's a die hard for the forces of evil though. Short tempered and spiteful too.
Abilities:
Annoy and Rant: He'll rant about the unfathomable forces of evil for hours on end, eventually having his opponents begging in mercy... for earplugs.
Invincible: Being a minion of the inferno, he cannot be destroyed because he's just a skull. But there are ways to defeat him. (See disadvantages)
Roll: Being virtually round shaped, Alex can travel by rolling around.
Hop: Using his jawbone, Alex can jump a foot in the air
Illusions: Because he has no hands, he can conjure up images to show what he wants. Great for parties.
Disadvantages: See appearance... List includes: Being placed on high shelves. Being thrown into water. Put into cages. Being put on pikes. Being used as a soccer ball. "Head Trophy." Balconies. Being placed into trunks. Being put into jars... etc.
Illustions: Alex's illusions are nonmaterial and are just about a useful as holograms. They're basically the equivalent of summoning up a piece of paper and a marker. He uses his 'invisable drawing board' to express details of stuff he would like to get done. More complex illusions, such as making a monster appear... would take a while to concentrate for the skull and if distracted, the illusion could pop. (Litreally explode, in a harmless yet stunning manner.)
Family: None
History: Alex was the first mate of Captain Juno, when he was a demon. After Juno went missing and incident of sheer stupidity occurred. Alex was transformed into a skull and fired out of a cannon. Matthew was supposedly the only witness at the time.
After Matthew left the crew Alex was found washed up on a beach and became the leader of Juno's band of pirates. There he formed a company that sold merchandise at low affordable prices. This company eventually caused the better and more expensive brand companies to go bankrupt, causing more consumers to buy from his stores. Eventually he then invested in manufacturing, expanding what he sold, making low quality goods at cheep prices and paying minimum wage to increase profits. It was only a matter of time until nations were relying upon Alex Co.'s products to keep their economy alive. Till only a few years later, the entire world was under Alexander's control.
Unfortunately all things came to an end when he was done in by the company mafia. A first they tried hanging him, but it didn't work because he had no neck. They then tried drowning him, but he didn't have lungs and washed ashore easily. So they finally left him to rot in the desert. Fortunately a passing tumbleweed had managed to pluck him and journey across the barren wasteland to the forest.
Later he was reunited with Juno and somehow or another got forged into the deathbringer weapon, he has been Juno's adviser again for the last 500 years.
Anything else we need to know about you: Nope
IC (In Character) Entrance:
"Witchcraft, Heracy, and Mutation!" Came a shout of curses as a humanoid clad in full armor made his way to the forests edge. It's pink eyebrows furrowed in anger, a look of pure rage set in it's ruby eyes as it trudged along in it's metal boots. Aparently it wasn't in a good mood, for some reason or another.
He was pretty, the combination of pale skin and the whole onset of red and pink features gave him a look of fierce beauty. His face rivaled the moon in terms of awe and yet also contained such a furocity that could incinerate something by looking at it.
It marched in a huff as it finally entered the place looking ready to kill something, for in one hand lay a boadsword of great lenght, and in the other a very mean looking gun. Spinning on his arm appeared to be a disk of blades.
He seemed to change a little as he entered the area, stopping his movement of fury to realize that he was no longer in an open area and that in the location of a forest, his vision was surely hampered. Lifting the gun with one hand and placing it onto the right holsiter on his back he branished the sword with two hands. Looking around alert, expecting something to leap at him before putting the sword in the left holister and only keeping the disk spinning on his arm.
He walked a bit more calmly now, glancing left and right with those ruby eyes of his, taking more careful steps... till a snap sounded and the scurry of scampering paws.
The man gazed at the darting object as it scampered in the distance.
A burst of flame and a squeal... then silence. -5
The man then followed the small smoke trail that had popped it till he found the thing he had just set on fire. A small squirrel.
"Sorry little guy." The pink haired person muttered as he picked up the dead roasted squirrlel and stopped his shield. He held it over the crispy critter and said a prayer before colapsing it into a set of curved knives. The man then proceeded to chop up the small critter into meat. Eating the entire thing and burying the bones.
He then put the metalic seet of kives back upon his arm before sitting on on a large tree root and glanced around.
"I feel as if I've been here before" he murmered.

Nestled in the snow between the roots of a tree a few trees over from the raving humanoid's chosen seat was a small gryphon-like creature. She had been sleeping, but the loud voice and delicious smell of roast squirrel brought her around. Her long, feathery ears perked up as she studied the oddly-colored individual.
He appeared to be armed to the teeth and, if not possessing of a short temper, then very tense. She was curious, but, as everyone knows, curiosity killed the--ah, what the heck?
"Hullo?" She got to her feet and trotted over, alert for any signs of danger. "Are you new here? I'm new here. I am told this place is called 'Deep Forest.' It seems like a nice place, I should think you would be welcomed here?" Her ears twitch and her beak cracks open in an avian grin, also aiding in her picking up the stranger's scent for clues.

"Hullo?"
There was a quick and sudden turn that came from the armor clad one. Partly out of reflex, partly from being startled. In one graceful motion he had unsheated his broadsword holding it with two hands pointing it right at the neck of the gryphon... thing? Of course he was far away from her and couldn't do anything save for look menacing and ready to kill somethign without a moments hesitation.
"Are you new here? I'm new here. I am told this place is called 'Deep Forest.' It seems like a nice place, I should think you would be welcomed here?"
The ruby eyes focused, the brow furrored and an overall look of distaste was put upon the mans face. There was tension in the air, mixed under the scent of roses, cinimon and axle grease, and steel. All of it too thick to tell the gender just be scent alone. He glared directly with those piercing eyes focused at her before giving his response.
"You talk to much... half-breed." He replied in that... girlish voice of his. Overall he sounded like a pissed off woman and probably looked like one right now.
"Just what are you anyway? You look like a gryphon, but you're too small. What are they breeding now? Travel sizes?" A chuckle more along the lines of a cruel laugh. Relaxing now he dropped his guard, and held onto his weapon with one hand instead of two. A bit rellieved that it was just some small creature, instead of something that might mug him.

In one graceful motion he had unsheated his broadsword holding it with two hands pointing it right at the neck of the gryphon... thing? Of course he was far away from her and couldn't do anything save for look menacing and ready to kill somethign without a moments hesitation.
"Are you new here? I'm new here. I am told this place is called 'Deep Forest.' It seems like a nice place, I should think you would be welcomed here?"
The ruby eyes focused, the brow furrored and an overall look of distaste was put upon the mans face. There was tension in the air, mixed under the scent of roses, cinimon and axle grease, and steel. All of it too thick to tell the gender just be scent alone. He glared directly with those piercing eyes focused at her before giving his response.
"You talk to much... half-breed." He replied in that... girlish voice of his. Overall he sounded like a pissed off woman and probably looked like one right now.
"Just what are you anyway? You look like a gryphon, but you're too small. What are they breeding now? Travel sizes?" A chuckle more along the lines of a cruel laugh. Relaxing now he dropped his guard, and held onto his weapon with one hand instead of two. A bit rellieved that it was just some small creature, instead of something that might mug him.

One would think that, after all the crazy things that had happened to Kory when he allowed himself to venture too close to the edge of the forest, the elf would stop letting himself wander so very close to the edge of the forest. One would then be underestimating the strength of the- still young- elf’s curiosity, which had grown immensely once he’d been freed and gotten to see that, most of the time, curiosity didn’t kill the cat when the cat didn’t have an owner sitting two feet away waiting for any opportunity to smack him for “misbehaving.”
So there the elf was, walking through the snow that blanketed the outer edge of the woods where the unicorns’ magic didn’t reach. For the first time in years, Korendil was actually enjoying the cold and it was all thanks to the new winter clothes that he had. It had taken weeks of working for other creatures in order to get the fabric for his new boots and coat and many more weeks to sew them up together himself. Kory hadn’t been so proud of himself in a long time. Thanks to his efforts, he could now stroll in the winter weather for a couple of hours before he started feeling the effects of the chill, a great improvement from his last winter.
As he walked, the elf gazed around him at the beauty of winter: the stillness that seemed to surround him, the soft shine of snow in the shadow of the trees, the small flash of light glancing off a drop of water released from a slowly melting ice cycle…Wait, Kory thought as he turned to look back at the area where he had seen that quick glint of light. That had been just a bit too bright to have come off water and too concentrated on one spot to have come off a collection of snow. Curious, he stepped lightly through the packed crystals around him toward the source.
To the elf’s surprise, he was right. The shine came not from snow or water, but from the metal of a long sword pointing in the direction of a small gryphon like creature and held by a rather fierce looking cat person. Korendil found his gaze caught by that person for a few moments longer than it should have been. The being’s hair and eyes were of a color he had never quite seen before that, combined with pale skin, feline features, and a pretty face, made quite an attractive individual. Unfortunately, the stance, expression, and array of armor and weapons also made the person a rather intimidating individual as well. To his chagrin, he wasn’t certain if he could pin a gender to the creature. Kory himself came from a race whose men often looked as female as the women- he was a fine example- so he was used to seeing the hints of male in one’s features, so despite the pink haired being’s rather feminine features, he couldn’t help but wonder if it truly was a woman.
"You talk to much... half-breed."
Kory’s brow creased as he stopped to gaze at the two. Calling someone a half-breed was not exactly flattering, nor was telling them that they talked too much. He had missed anything the gryphon had said previously, but the grin didn’t suggest anything to warrant such a response. The next words to flow from Juno’s lips were equally unkind and Kory actually winced at the cruelty shadowing the laugh that followed. Part of him felt compelled to speak up on the small gryphon’s behalf- that was just uncalled for- but another part reminded him off the fights he’d gotten himself involved in lately. Did he really wish to possibly involve himself in another one? The pink haired warrior looked like- he? she?- could do quick work of one frail elf, and since the being no longer appeared ready to use that sword, he was hesitant to step in; he might just increase the tension.
I’m going to get myself killed one of these days, Korendil though, heaving a sigh as he walked over to the two. It wasn’t a very good way to repay the gods for giving him back his freedom, damn his conscience. “That’s…not a very...kind thing to say,” he said rather quietly, stopping just far enough that that sword shouldn’t be able to reach him immediately. He felt particularly dumb when he said it, but he hoped his chastisement was slight enough that it wouldn’t cause a great deal of further harm.

"You talk to much... half-breed."
Taka's ears perked up, "How did you know that I was a half-breed?" But, thinking about it, it should be pretty obvious, shouldn't it? She looked like a Gryphon, and Gryphons by themselves were technically half-breeds, even without the quills...
"Just what are you anyway? You look like a gryphon, but you're too small. What are they breeding now? Travel sizes?"
She cocked her head curiously at the question, not seeming to catch the malicious intent behind the question or laughter, "Ah, well, my dad's mostly gryphon, but he has some demon blood... and my mom's a very small chimera... I guess I took mostly after her in size and--" Taka's chatter was cut off by a tentative-sounding voice from the woods:
“That’s…not a very...kind thing to say,”
Her ears perked towards the newcomer, another two-legged being! Were these woods full of them? Well, there were other gryphons here, too, obviously, as the creature who had welcomed her to the forest was a gryphon. "Oh, hullo! Are you new here, too? My, there certainly are a lot of people around here, arn't there?" Her red feather-tufted tail swished and twitched as she continued to grin gryphishly.
((OoC: Trying out the colored dialog))

"Part lion, part eagle, and part... whatever it is. Not my concern." Was the short reply from the man as he shifted his stance... then...
With one hand he whipped out his second weapon, holding it, and fingers upon the two triggers, one to fire with and the other to start up the chainsaw on the weapon of choice. He had done this without looking and just pinpointed the elf on sounds alone. The foot steps, the crunch of snow and the voice. It was aimed right at the head of the elf who was busy stammering:
“That’s…not a very...kind thing to say,”
Obviouly the armor clad one didn't apreciate being startled.
Why do they keep doing that!?!
"Being nice isn't high on my to-do list."
He replied whipping off the safety and reving up the chainsaw. (no were near the elf but still a scary thing to see) but then he glanced at the boy and sighed. Seeing a weak elf instead of some kinda large troll or angry gryphon father, he stopped the spinning blade and put the safety back on, holding both weapons near his hips. Going with the sigh he rolled his eyes.
"And here I was thinking this place would be full of monsters and dumb beasts." He murmered before directing his attention back to the gryphon and asking.
"Do you always ask so many questions? And you..." He pointed his gun at the elf waving it about lilke a featherduster.
"'Not a kind thing to say'? What kind of warcry is that? If you're going to defend someone put some backbone into it. If you say something like that you're going to get walked all over."

Korendil froze and paled when the pink haired being turned not a sword, but a gun on him, clearly having heard him long before he spoke up. Though his people didn’t use them often, he’d seen more than his share of such weapons over the past ten years and he knew that it could strike him down from a fair distance away and do so in the blink of an eye. Not eager to see if the warrior was trigger-happy, the elf decided to stay where he was, not moving except to look at the small gryphon when she began to speak.
As he listened, Korendil couldn’t help but give the creature a small smile. The gryphon was just…adorable; there was no other way to describe her. She was innocent, curious, and completely oblivious to the not so friendly tone in the nekomimi’s responses, for which Kory was actually relieved. He wasn’t sure how old the gryphon was, but she appeared and acted young, and no youngling needed to hear and understand stuff like that. So she is a half-breed after all. Well, I still don’t think that’s a nice thing to call someone, at least not with that tone, he thought as he noticed the features he had missed earlier that showed she wasn’t a pure gryphon.
"Oh, hullo! Are you new here, too? My, there certainly are a lot of people around here, arn't there?"
The gun was still pointed at him, so, despite his efforts, the smile Kory gave the gryphon was not as light as he tried to make it. Though it made him even more nervous to take his eyes off the weapon, the elf shifted his gaze over to Taka as he answered her. “Not new, no…I’ve been here—” he faltered while he tried to count up how long he’d been in the Deep Forest. Unfortunately, he couldn’t remember exactly how many weeks it had been since his arrival. “—A few short months,” he responded, her grin becoming contagious enough to make his smile more relaxed and genuine for a moment. “And yes, there are many people here and…new ones seem to be arriving quite often.” Blue eyes shifted back to Juno.
"Being nice isn't high on my to-do list."
Oh gods above, what is that? the elf wondered fearfully as his heart seemed to stop when the razor-edged blade at the end of the gun suddenly began to spin. Though it wasn’t near enough to do him any harm, it was still more than intimidating enough for him. The sound it made hurt his ears, but to his relief it wasn’t long before Juno decided to turn it off, apparently no longer feeling threatened now that he was actually getting a look at Kory. Though he was happy the blade was no longer spinning, it was embarrassing to realize that was often how creatures reacted to him; they saw no threat in this elf.
Sensitive ears easily caught the neko’s mutter. Well at least I don’t qualify for the dumb beasts category, he thought humorlessly. “But still, you should not—” Kory started to say in response to Juno’s earlier comment, before he was cut off not only be a chastisement, but also by the weapon once again pointed in his direction. The elf’s eyes followed the gun as the being waved it around like a toy. “I…did not mean it as a war cry,” he protested, cheeks coloring a pale pink. “I just…” Ok, the person had a point. Kory knew his tone didn’t exactly strike fear into evildoers, but…well being tough had never been his strong suit. He started to say something else, but found himself distracted.
“Uh…could you please stop waving that in front of my face?” he politely requested, eyeing the gun nervously as it flew about. The elf had heard of gun accidents before and he didn’t really want to be one of those unfortunate victims whose story was used to teach firearm safety. Hoping he was not doing something incredibly stupid, he continued. “Should I have told you to stop being a school yard bully…or something along those lines?” Kory asked, still as timid as before.

Ah! That was loud! Taka cringed and folded her ears back as the strange pink thing pulled out a--a... a something that was very loud! And spinny! What was that? He was pointing it at the other person who had just arrived.
The little chimera's mind raced, Oh, no. That thing... it's probably some kind of weapon, is he going to hurt that other guy? Should I do something? Can I do anything? Should I run? Should I try to distract him? What if he uses it on me? It probably hurts and-- The one with the pink hair finally sighed and stopped the noisy thing. Which was just as well, Taka didn't really enjoy fights, no matter who started them.
"Do you always ask so many questions?"
"Ah, well, I--" She began to answer, still a little stunned, ears ringing, from the weird noisy thing. But before she could come up with a response, she was cut off. He seemed to be addressing the other one now.
"And you... 'Not a kind thing to say'? What kind of warcry is that? If you're going to defend someone put some backbone into it. If you say something like that you're going to get walked all over." The other one began speaking, responding to the stranger with the pink hair. It was rude to interrupt when someone was speaking. Also, it was difficult to think or listen with your ears ringing so loudly! She shook her head and pawed at her ears, trying to clear them.

“Uh…could you please stop waving that in front of my face?”
"Sure, next time I'll wave it.... right. Through. You." Juno hissed giving a playful smirk at Kory while Juno's eyes remained homocidally cold before sheathing both weapons. One couldn't tell, due to the tone of Juno's voice if he was joking or being insanely serious. Such was the side of evil.
“Should I have told you to stop being a school yard bully…or something along those lines?”
"Bully? Haw no, He's the real deal." Came a shout from Juno's side, it was the skull on the shield, bagering away at the elf. "Cross him and mmmmppph." Juno placed his hand upon over the mouth of the chattering skull.
"Silence, Alexander. I'll let the boy figure out by himself how far he wishes to press matters."
His gaze then shifted back to the elf. "A simple blurted 'Stop it' would have sufficed. Course you should prepare for a shift of attack, cause instead of me picking on her, then I start intimidating you."
At this moment Juno was completely ignoring the chimera, but kept her in his sight just incase she tried to pull a stunt or anything.

Korendil looked over at the little chimera and gave her a small, sympathetic smile when he saw her rubbing her ears. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one that had been disturbed by the sound that weapon made. Like the gryphon’s, his ears were still buzzing from that dreadful sound- he’d be rubbing his as well if he thought it would help- and if he’d had to listen to it for a bit longer, he probably would have started gritting his teeth. Honestly, who would make such a horrible weapon? As if the gun and spinning blade weren’t enough, it had to make a noise to damage eardrums as well?
"Sure, next time I'll wave it.... right. Through. You."
It took more effort than the elf was willing to admit to stay where he was and not take a step back. Yes, I do believe this was a decidedly bad decision on my part, he thought with a small, nervous gulp. Kory was glad that he managed to get Juno to stop insulting Taka, but now the neko’s attention seemed riveted on him now. “Well I would…appreciate it if you didn’t,” he responded, trying to sound light and at least slightly relaxed. He failing miserably, with eyes a little too wide, face a little too pale, and voice shaking just a little too much. Was the man/woman joking? The smirk was playful, but the being’s eyes told a completely different story. Oh, what have I gotten myself into now?
"Bully? Haw no, He's the real deal."
Blue eyes widened as Korendil leaned to the side and caught a glimpse of what was speaking. For a moment, he thought he had to be going crazy. There was a skull…and it was talking. A skull! Skulls weren’t supposed to talk. They were the remains of a dead person were they not? So then how—? A trick maybe or magic? Yes, it had to be magic; such a thing wasn’t possible otherwise right? And it has a name… he thought as he straightened back up. By Juno’s response to Alexander, Kory had the feeling that he probably didn’t want to push the matter much further.
I really need to learn how to keep my big mouth shut, the elf though as he ran a nervous hand through his long hair. So many messes, like this one, would be avoided if he just stayed hidden and kept quiet. Why did he insist on getting involved? His survival instincts were always flat out against jumping into situations, but his conscience apparently spoke a bit louder. It was just difficult not to get involved, especially when he saw someone else in trouble or being picked on- even if she wasn’t aware of it yet- like this young gryphon. Even if he couldn’t help, he still wanted to try. Though it’s going to get me killed one of these days— Juno glanced back over at him, making the elf tense. —Perhaps today…
"A simple blurted 'Stop it' would have sufficed. Course you should prepare for a shift of attack, cause instead of me picking on her, then I start intimidating you."
Kory fingered a lock of hair as he eyed Juno with suspicion. He wished he were able to scoff at the neko’s comment about intimidation, but he’d be lying to himself if he said it wasn’t true. “Believe me…it crossed my mind that…that this might happen,” he admitted in hopes that it might score him at least a point or two for bravery. Despite knowing the danger, he’d tried, shouldn’t that count for something? “And I’ll be sure to…to store away your advice for future reference,” he added, tone accidentally shifting toward sarcasm.
"Sure, next time I'll wave it.... right. Through. You."

Kory was glad that he managed to get Juno to stop insulting Taka, but now the neko’s attention seemed riveted on him now. “Well I would…appreciate it if you didn’t,” he responded, trying to sound light and at least slightly relaxed. He failing miserably, with eyes a little too wide, face a little too pale, and voice shaking just a little too much. Was the man/woman joking? The smirk was playful, but the being’s eyes told a completely different story. Oh, what have I gotten myself into now?
"Bully? Haw no, He's the real deal."
Blue eyes widened as Korendil leaned to the side and caught a glimpse of what was speaking. For a moment, he thought he had to be going crazy. There was a skull…and it was talking. A skull! Skulls weren’t supposed to talk. They were the remains of a dead person were they not? So then how—? A trick maybe or magic? Yes, it had to be magic; such a thing wasn’t possible otherwise right? And it has a name… he thought as he straightened back up. By Juno’s response to Alexander, Kory had the feeling that he probably didn’t want to push the matter much further.
I really need to learn how to keep my big mouth shut, the elf though as he ran a nervous hand through his long hair. So many messes, like this one, would be avoided if he just stayed hidden and kept quiet. Why did he insist on getting involved? His survival instincts were always flat out against jumping into situations, but his conscience apparently spoke a bit louder. It was just difficult not to get involved, especially when he saw someone else in trouble or being picked on- even if she wasn’t aware of it yet- like this young gryphon. Even if he couldn’t help, he still wanted to try. Though it’s going to get me killed one of these days— Juno glanced back over at him, making the elf tense. —Perhaps today…
"A simple blurted 'Stop it' would have sufficed. Course you should prepare for a shift of attack, cause instead of me picking on her, then I start intimidating you."
Kory fingered a lock of hair as he eyed Juno with suspicion. He wished he were able to scoff at the neko’s comment about intimidation, but he’d be lying to himself if he said it wasn’t true. “Believe me…it crossed my mind that…that this might happen,” he admitted in hopes that it might score him at least a point or two for bravery. Despite knowing the danger, he’d tried, shouldn’t that count for something? “And I’ll be sure to…to store away your advice for future reference,” he added, tone accidentally shifting toward sarcasm.

Taka's ears perked up a little and her eyes brightened in realization, "Wait... wait... you... you were picking on me? You were making fun of me?" she squeaked, her ears drooping and her expression making her look like just he most miserable creature alive, "You... why would you...? Did- What did I...? I didn't do anything to you..." she whimpered pathetically, suddenly catching on to the newcomer's ill intentions.
If gryphons could cry, she looked like she'd have let loose a raging river at this point. Why would anyone want to be mean to her? Had she done or said something wrong? The other demons had sometimes picked on her for being small, but her brother had always...
Her brother! She had almost forgotten about him since arriving in these strange woods. Now she let out an almost ethereal howl of anguish and curled herself up into a tiny ball, the absolute picture of misery. Her wings trembled as she whimpered and whined piteously.

“And I’ll be sure to…to store away your advice for future reference,”
"Smart lad, given enough contimplation upon the subject you may become more than just througly usless." Juno replied coldly as he swivled to the tearing up gryphon.
"Wait... wait... you... you were picking on me? You were making fun of me? You... why would you...? Did- What did I...? I didn't do anything to you..."
"Why?" The cat man asked with a laugh. Before stuffing it with a serious dead pan tone. "It's simple. Being evil means never having to say I'm sorry."
Juno's face split with a grin as he flipped up his red hood that flowed with his cape, the protective red mythryl covering his face from any harm that might ensue, making him look effectively creapier than with it off. He then knelt locking his eyes with hers. His voice starting in mock sympathy to rash blunt cruelness of a villian.
"Ohhh poor poor girl, you've figured it out. But take this shift in reality as a lesson. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows, and cruelty of several types exist anywhere you go. Afterall you will soon learn that this realm is for grown-ups. Raw, well-ordered, ruthless, careening off the jagged edge of reality. Self-pitying dreamers are not wanted here; they cannot survive here. In short: the uninformed must improve their deficit, or die."

Korendil’s cheeks flushed with shame at the insult as he looked down and nudged the snow by his feet in discomfort. Ok…he had to admit that hurt a little, perhaps even more than a little. It had been months since someone had called him useless, but that one little word was enough to deflate the young elf and send his mind reeling back to memories before the Deep Forest, when ‘useless’ was one of the kinder words flung his way. It brought back that all too familiar feeling of wanting to curl up somewhere and—No! No. He wasn’t going to let this creature send him back there. Kory had gradually been getting better around others and it had taken a lot of work, both on his part and on the parts of everyone around him. He couldn’t let one little word make him fall back to his old self, especially around someone like this. This feline was beginning to remind him a little too much of his older masters. Juno wasn’t as bad as them, but their meeting had just begun and Kory had the bad feeling that it might only get worse and the similarities might just increase.
"Wait... wait... you... you were picking on me? You were making fun of me? You... why would you...? Did- What did I...? I didn't do anything to you..."
The pitiful whimpers made the elf raise his gaze off the ground. Concern instantly flooded his expression as he listened to her words and saw the way the poor thing wilted at the realization that she had been picked on. Kory silently cursed himself for bringing it up, since she clearly had had no idea until he mentioned it. I just made it worse, he thought, biting his bottom lip sharply as guilt stabbed at his heart. Korendil wasn’t sure if gryphons were capable of tears, but the way she curled into a ball, wings trembling as she continued to whine, showed all too clearly how miserable she now was.
"Ohhh poor poor girl, you've figured it out….Self-pitying dreamers are not wanted here; they cannot survive here. In short: the uninformed must improve their deficit, or die."
The cruelty of it was too much for the ex-slave. The words reminded him too much of those said to him to slowly break him down. He’d heard worse, but Kory didn’t doubt that these were doing a find job of beating down the gryphon’s innocence; he couldn’t stand it. “Stop it!” he blurted, throwing his hand out in front of him and sending a flurry of snow between their faces to break their eye contact. “H-have you no decency?” he demanded, anger overpowering some of his nerves, though not all. Kory knew that he was once again getting involved where he probably shouldn’t, but he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing while the pink haired cat tormented the poor thing.
Doubting that comments about kindness and conscience would work on such a being, he decided to take a different route, all the while hoping that he wasn’t going to get himself killed; hero work really should be left to those who could back up their words. “Have you no pride? Taunting one so young, it…it belittles you,” Kory spoke as he forced himself to maintain eye contact and not look at the ground like he was trained. The elf’s voice was still slightly unsure, but it was firmer than before. “I…I am surprised someone gave you that armor. I was under the impression that- that such things were reserved for those with more maturity.”
"Wait... wait... you... you were picking on me? You were making fun of me? You... why would you...? Did- What did I...? I didn't do anything to you..."

"Blah blah blah..."
Taka flinched as Juno knelt towards her, her mind racing so fast she could barely comprehend what he was saying to her, "m-my... my brother..." she whimpered softly, beginning to wonder if she should leave this place and resume her search for him... but... what if he were in these woods somewhere? There did seem to be a number of human... -like creatures here; it was possible, wasn't it? And she certainly didn't feel up to braving the wastelands again so soon. She stared deeply into Juno's eyes, her own deep blue pools slightly unfocused as she lost herself in her own thoughts. She almost seemed to be looking through him.
“Stop it!”
She squeaked in surprise as COLD! and white obscured her vision and broke her trance-like stupor. Blinking, she realized the other person must have thrown some snow at them or something. He now seemed to be yelling at the pink-haired guy. Guy? Yeah, hadn't his talking metal plate called him a 'he'? She thought so.
“H-have you no decency?” Kory stuttered a little, but seemed angry and more sure of himself that he had earlier. She perked her ears towards him, his words now catching her interest. “Have you no pride? Taunting one so young, it…it belittles you, I…I am surprised someone gave you that armor. I was under the impression that- that such things were reserved for those with more maturity.” She watched Juno out of the corner of her eye for his reaction.
Deciding she would much rather be over there with that guy than over here with this one, Taka got up a little and slunk over to Kory, sitting at his heel and curling her tail around her feet like a cat. She leaned against his leg a little and softly nuzzled his thigh to reassure him. He seemed a little scared, but much nicer than that other guy. I mean, seriously she thought to herself, What's wrong with him?

“Stop it!”
"See, that's what I'm talking about! Delivery with emotion instead of being nervious!" Juno replied as he stood up. Glancing at the flurry of snow as if it was just a measily fly.
“H-have you no decency? Have you no pride? Taunting one so young, it…it belittles you, I…I am surprised someone gave you that armor. I was under the impression that- that such things were reserved for those with more maturity.”
"Maturity? I was teaching the kid a very basic lesson of life. Just as I taught you. Right now, about standing up for what you belive in. Her lesson is simple, if she doesn't grow up quickly she'll be killed by her own Naiveity. Not by me, there are people much more... malicious... But I'll leave you to take care of her. I'm certian a..." Juno eyed Kory's clothes before continueing. "noble of your calibur should have no trouble raising a girl like her." Juno replied with a smirk as he began walking away from the two into the depths of the forest. Putting his weapon over his shoulder singing lyrics as if he just had a good day.
"Total slaughter,
total slaughter,
I won't leave a single man
alive.
La di da di die.
Genocide.
La di da di dud,
and ocean of blood.
Let's begin the killing time."

To think that he had thought this man attractive when he first laid eyes on him. This was clearly one of the better examples of not judging a book by its cover. A pretty exterior did not mean there was a kind soul inside and apparently that was a lesson that Korendil still needed to learn. It made him wonder about the creatures he had avoided because they looked large and/or threatening. How many of them were like this pink haired warrior and how many had kind personalities underneath? Kory shook his head, disgusted with himself for letting appearances decide things for him even though he knew he really couldn’t help it; when he saw someone who looked capable of hurting him, his mind decided that they would.
"See, that's what I'm talking about! Delivery with emotion instead of being nervous!"
The elf truly didn’t know how to respond to that. It almost seemed as though the neko was actually trying to teach him a lesson- and he had just passed it- but at the same time it felt like he was being mocked as well. The frown creasing his brow deepened, before disappearing when Taka suddenly moved to sit beside him, her feathered head nuzzling him, whether in reassurance or for comfort he couldn’t tell. Smiling softly, he reached down to gently stroke her head in return.
“Maturity? I was teaching the kid a very basic lesson of life. Just as I taught you. Right now, about standing up for what you believe in. Her lesson is simple, if she doesn't grow up quickly she'll be killed by her own naivety.”
Once more, Kory found that he wasn’t sure what to say or think in response. Again, he wondered if the man had actually been trying to teach them both a lesson, or if Juno was simply using that as an excuse for his cruelty. From the look he had seen in those fierce, red eyes, Kory just couldn’t believe that that had all been an act, but, regardless, he hesitated to speak out against what Juno had done. The feline was right …in a way. You couldn’t trust everyone you met in this world and you were more likely to become a victim rather than a hero if you didn’t put strength behind your words and actions. Kory knew both of those lessons well, but though he knew both were important, he still didn’t approve of what the neko had done.
Kory took a deep breath and started to speak up to say just that, but stopped when Juno suddenly looked his way. Swallowing nervously, the young elf couldn’t help but fidget under the fighter’s gaze, fearing, like always, things that could come from someone focusing on him like that. Though there was clearly no lust in that gaze, like so many before, a small shiver ran up Korendil’s spine.
A sigh of relief escaped his lips when Juno moved to continue on into the Deep Forest. Forcing a small smile, he looked down at Taka. “I’m…sorry about…about what he said to you. Are you alright?”
Ooc: I’m sorry. I would do something to continue the conversation between them and Juno, but it’s just not in Kory’s personality. He doesn’t like conflict, and he’d see this as a chance to avoid it, so he wouldn’t do anything else to Juno >_<

As she nuzzled his leg, Kory reached down to stroke her head. Delighted, Taka tilted her head and pressed it against his fingers, guiding his touch to the places she liked best--like behind the ears. She purred softly, kneading the snow with her talons. Oh, this felt good, yes it did. It was hard to find people who do this! And it had been so long since someone had! Oh, she could just stay here forever! And it seemed the crazy meanie-head was leaving, anyway! So maybe she would. As long as he just kept scratching...
“I’m…sorry about…about what he said to you. Are you alright?” He asked suddenly. Her ear twitched as it took her a moment to realize he had spoken and then to recall what he had said.
"Mmm... mmhmm..." She nodded absently, still rubbing her head against his hand, "Mmm... a little more back, if you please?"

(Addin some action!)
Things sempt peaceful for the two, the gryphon and the elf as thier 'bully and teacher' left them with advice that they had kindy, ignored. However, it was his action of leaving that set place upon another party that had been viewing.
At the arrival of Juno, he had prepared some roast squirrel and devoured the critter. In the forest, during winter. A time of scarcity... where the smell of fresh meat would attract hunters and scavengers for miles.
In this case it was a pack of wolves. Not necessarilly enchanted, but hungry enough to target the small party.
During Juno's conversation with Kory and Taka they had kept down wind, waiting for an oppertune moment to attack the two meek ones. Juno looke particularly menacing and well armed to hold them off, but now that he was gone...
All there was was a gryphon, and an elf. Both appeared to me relatively unarmed. And if they could just seperate them then the pack could feed.
The hunt was on.
_____________________________________________________________
"-La di da di dud
an ocean of blood
Let's begin the killing time."
Juno sang as he walked away from the two , toating his lancer over one shouder and gripping his sword with the other, then suddenly he stopped. And sniffed the air and crouched down. Quietly.
Faint, but fresh
_____________________________________________________________
Silenty, the pack went approaching against the wind to mask their scent. Creaping slently in single file as not to startle their pray.
The pack spit into three lines, one to the left and one to the right so as to avoid confrontation and get a better stance at catching their targeted prey.
The pincer manuever was ready.
_____________________________________________________________
Juno bent down and found wolf tracks, several branching out from a center spot. The claw marks were fresh enough to have been made recently and the scent was heavy now... yep definatly recent by at most a few minutes...
and headed in the direction he just left.
"Dar'vit."
_____________________________________________________________
Everything was in place, the gabbing pink haired cat thing had left, leaving two pieces of tempting prey in sight, perfect for the kill. They had begun to pick up pace, a bit more reckless to become noticed and cause a panic.
However, they were about to fully execute the stealthy 'surround and pick off technique' if it wasn't for the clanking armor in the distance.
A howl sounded from one of the pack spies, a word of warning.
THe pack had to make it's kill now, or risk finding prey again.

"Mmm... a little more back, if you please?"
Juno ran, as fast as he could in his armor, his hair whipping about in the wind, and his cape flying about in the air. Hood up, face covered and weapons at the ready as he ran back to the two unprotected greeters he had just met.
Only to witness that they were now surrouned by wolves, snarling and growling at them, trying to get their pray's attention, force them in the center and pick them off.
And Juno was also now within that ring.
"GORRAMMIT!"
_____________________________________________________________
The wolves were slightly panicked now, but mantained their cool. Circling, and keeping their prey bound togehter. So the tin man had come back, big woop. They could still possibly get one of the two others if they tried...
and with that realization being universal... one of the wolves lept, right for Taka, incisors bared and ready to injure her.
"GORRAMMIT!"
Juno shouted as he ran into the frey smiting the wolf with his shield and chucking it aside as he yelled curses.
"See!? This is what happens when you don't learn!"
100/100 70+5/100

Things sempt peaceful for the two, the gryphon and the elf as thier 'bully and teacher' left them with advice that they had kindy, ignored. However, it was his action of leaving that set place upon another party that had been viewing.
At the arrival of Juno, he had prepared some roast squirrel and devoured the critter. In the forest, during winter. A time of scarcity... where the smell of fresh meat would attract hunters and scavengers for miles.
In this case it was a pack of wolves. Not necessarilly enchanted, but hungry enough to target the small party.
During Juno's conversation with Kory and Taka they had kept down wind, waiting for an oppertune moment to attack the two meek ones. Juno looke particularly menacing and well armed to hold them off, but now that he was gone...
All there was was a gryphon, and an elf. Both appeared to me relatively unarmed. And if they could just seperate them then the pack could feed.
The hunt was on.

"-La di da di dud
an ocean of blood
Let's begin the killing time."
Juno sang as he walked away from the two , toating his lancer over one shouder and gripping his sword with the other, then suddenly he stopped. And sniffed the air and crouched down. Quietly.
Faint, but fresh
_____________________________________________________________
Silenty, the pack went approaching against the wind to mask their scent. Creaping slently in single file as not to startle their pray.
The pack spit into three lines, one to the left and one to the right so as to avoid confrontation and get a better stance at catching their targeted prey.
The pincer manuever was ready.
_____________________________________________________________
Juno bent down and found wolf tracks, several branching out from a center spot. The claw marks were fresh enough to have been made recently and the scent was heavy now... yep definatly recent by at most a few minutes...
and headed in the direction he just left.
"Dar'vit."
_____________________________________________________________
Everything was in place, the gabbing pink haired cat thing had left, leaving two pieces of tempting prey in sight, perfect for the kill. They had begun to pick up pace, a bit more reckless to become noticed and cause a panic.
However, they were about to fully execute the stealthy 'surround and pick off technique' if it wasn't for the clanking armor in the distance.
A howl sounded from one of the pack spies, a word of warning.
THe pack had to make it's kill now, or risk finding prey again.
