Feral Heart

I will admit, I have killed a pup once.... >>
But it wasn't in powerplay or because I've been "rejected", and it was a one time thing so I don't think it necessarily defines as being a "pupkiller" haha.

I was on a hyena character of mine known as Rasha, and she was with her clan's leader. They were out and about, I think patrolling, when they came across this pup. We started RPing with him and he played along, long story short Rasha's leader offered him a way out by saying he could join them. The pup refused, so then Rasha was commanded to kill him. And obeyed >> I felt really horrible for doing it, but it was Rasha's character XD It was properly Rped, though, and I made it clear to the rper of the pup that I won't actually have Rasha kill his character if they didn't want him dead, and he could somehow find a way to escape. Two wolves (I think) came up at this point and watched the whole scene, telling our character to stop but of course we didn't, while the whole time in OOC we were expressing how violent this seemed XD Eventually, pup dies and Rasha and her leader moves on.

My point? If only "pupkillers" could RP properly and make the situation interesting and not ridiculous and vengeful.

((It looks like it'll just be you and I for awhile lol
I don't want the RP to die again, so even if we're the only two RPing, I'm willing to keep it up until, hopefully, others find interest enough to join and/or return.))


Raven's mouth set into a firmer line in response to the mercenary's grin, but she said nothing. Instead she was feigning indifference, while on the inside she really was curious as to what this mission could possibly be, what it was they were looking for or doing. Any normal person probably would of declined such an offer upfront, even Raven was a little suspicious and wary of the danger that could be laying in wait for them, or toward the ones who hired Noah to do this in the first place. Yet Raven's curiosity, like always, won out. How could she pass up the chance to learn more about something she didn't know, and the reward didn't sound half bad, either. However, there was the half-elf to attend to...

The mage turned away from Noah (possibly in a way that looked like she was just ignoring him) to look where the stranger had been standing not a moments ago. Yep, he was gone... Damn it. Brows lowering just a centimeter to show her annoyance, she looked back at the thief in a mild glare as if to blame him for this happening, which she did. If he hadn't come out of nowhere and distracted her with his offer, she would of sensed that the half-elf had slipped away. But no, her attention had been on Noah... There was always that strange aura about him, something that lingered on him that was just so out of place, but she couldn't place her finger on it. It made her anxious, edgy... Just another reason why she didn't want to be around him, but now she knew she was just going to have to tolerate it and him. Anyway, it was because of this that her mind had been too occupied and focused on the mercenary thief, that she didn't even notice a change in her third-eye vision.

Raven supposed it was for the best. She still had the paper with the odd list of names, and holding this in hand, she turned instead to the princess. "Here you are, Lady Carina," Raven walked away from Noah to stand before her. She wasn't sure if she had been eavesdropping on them or not, but she concluded that she was, otherwise she would of been aware of the half-elf's departure and said something. Unless she let him go. "I apologize for the disturbance. This paper may be of more use to you than it is to me, it's a vital piece of evidence if you wish to apprehend the half-elf. After all, he admitted his crimes. I'm afraid I won't be aiding you in searching for him (which is advisable) if that's what you want to do, or return home to inform the King of the past events and reassure him you're alright, but I have other matters to attend to."

Finally, Raven turned back to Noah and addressed his suggestions. "Very well, that sounds like an appropriate time to depart. I'll see you around the hour of dawn outside the inn entrance, near the stables. I'm sorry to say I don't own a horse, but it's a much easier landmark to find one another at." Not that the mage preferred riding very much... Sure, it was faster but she wasn't comfortable enough to do that. Walking was going to have to do, and though outwardly she was as placid as ever, inwardly she was a little worried her condition may show. Her stamina wasn't all that great, and the last thing she wanted was having Noah pointing out her weakness and pointing it out in some way. No matter, she was just going to have to deal with it.

With nothing more to be said or done, the mage began making the return trip back to Zale.


((That one's going to be my last one for this phase, you can do a time skip in your post for the next day if you like :3 ))

((I'm glad to see you're still here at least, Caitlin! You can still keep Carina to the side if you like if we get anymore members or if the others decide to come back, and I won't remove her from the character list haha. Whatever works best for you ^.^ ))


As much as she wanted to discuss this strange half-elf's odd heritage, if it could be called that, it appeared that Raven wasn't going to get that chance. Noah was intent on getting her to listen to him and this offer of his, and even if he wasn't, the others seemed to have the same idea. Their gazes were on the two curiously and perhaps somewhat suspiciously, the half-elf drawing in silence and not yet answering either her's or the princess's questions. Annoyed, Raven realized she wasn't going to get anywhere with this, and turned to the pushy male.

But perhaps she wasn't that annoyed... Though she wouldn't admit it, the last comment Noah had said had perked her interest, but nonetheless she was still cautious. "As long as this 'reward' doesn't involve having a drink with you, then fine, I'm willing to listen," Raven returned. Her gaze momentarily went to the others, debating if this was something they should discuss in front of them or not. In the end, the mage decided on sticking close enough to be in each other's view, but far enough to avoid being eavesdropped upon. Gesturing for Noah to follow her example, Raven side-stepped along and turned her back slightly to the group.

"Alright, what's this proposition you have that's so obviously more important than my own business?"


((My posts will get better!))

((*Brings RP back from the dead after about a week of FH being down* LIVE, DARN YOU, LIVE!!!!

I hope everyone's still here, but as of now anyone's free to post considering how long it's been since the last one even before FH was down. For now I'll keep all characters up because I'm hoping that after the amount of time that's passed, people will be more free to at least drop a notice. I know a lot of you are busy, so I hope to hear from you soon! D: ))

((*Tries resurrecting RP*))


For once, Raven wished she had been mistaken, but as the youth revealed himself, there was no denying who he was. Of course he instantly fell to flirting, and though the mage greatly disliked such comments, she gave no outward sign of it and remained neutral about it. Still, she didn't look exactly thrilled, either. "Hm, unfortunately I do," she replied to his comment, for how could she forget? Sure, perhaps she wasn't the best when it came to names and identifying faces, but that particular moment had been... different. "I see you haven't changed much, either. "

The last part was said with disappointment though Noah may take it differently. Raven wasn't quite interested in what he had to say, either, nor why he was there spying on them in the first place. As far as she knew, the less attention she paid to him, the more likely he'd grow bored and leave them alone. "Is that so? Well, coincidental or not, I'm afraid I'm busy as you can see. So, either begone and leave us or stand over there and look pretty. Whichever you prefer."

With that, Raven turned firmly away from him and focused her attention back on the other two. So far it seemed like they had kept silent, no doubt wondering who the hell this newcomer was and what the two of them were talking about. Hopefully with the distractions out of the way now (or at least she hoped), their discussion could be carried on and she and Carina could find out more about this strange half-elf and his "master".


((Will be longer next time! I hope everyone's still here >.>))
