Tora enjoyed Zwn patting her, new feline instincts were pushing through. She purred and meowed softly before falling asleep in the girl's arms. Tadashi looked up at Zwn and Tora sleeping peacefully in her arms, he seemed content with the situation and fell asleep at Zwn's feet.

The ground was bare dirt again, bare dirt for miles.
He could once again feel his two fur-coated canine bodies.
He wasn't really sure if what he had experienced during his slumber was simply a dream, or... well, it couldn't have simply been a stray memory coming back for him to reflect upon; He'd never seen such a mansion before, nor their owners being in one.
This mystery would take a little time to explain, though it might be best not to bring it up in conversation with any one.
It was then that Catcocomics noticed a total lacking of guardians, though it didn't take him long to spot what appeared to be a jungle; it had just barely missed growing over him during his slumber and seemed quite large in comparison to his shorter-than-normal stature (not that he was very tall by default).
Hearing faint voice from within or beyond (the scents of the others were drowned out by all the strange plants), Catcocomics decided to head through.
Much of the plant life seemed rather tame, however unfamiliar they seemed; despite vegetation growing all over the place, he had encountered less peaceful plants in the past.
Noticing a decline in the density of vegetation, as well as the voices sounding closer, Catcocomics knew that he was nearing the edge, when a large vine suddenly wrapped around his body and lifted him into the air (resulting in a sharp yelp).
Turning slightly, Catcocomics saw as hi fox body was grabbed by the chaotic plant, and attempted to bite the large vine, though he found that his teeth were merely sliding off it.
He noticed a large bulb where the vine was coming from, and tried to ram it with his head, but that didn't quite turn out so well, as another vine grabbed his wolf body.
Deciding he had no other choice, Catcocomics let out a long and loud howl.

[does the photosynthesis weakness still apply, or has he already been drained, negating the plant "allergy"]
The bulb opened, splitting in two, revealing a toothy flower's tongue, dripping with digestive fluids.
It lunges at the howling animal.

Cairne is surprised by the appearance of a small cat, and by golly Zwn looks adorable petting it.
A howl is heard, but Cairne doesn't think much of it- probably the local wildlife.

Guardian of Wind

*Airis just stood there. As everyone interacted with each other. He felt he needed some time alone. Some time to think things through. A lot has happened till he first got there. And he hasn't really had time to himself to analyze everything*

*He leaned against Alouette and whispered to her*

"Hey, I need some alone time. Please don't follow me. I promise to be back. Take care for now."

*Airis hated to be away from his sister. But he knew she could take care of herself. He quickly gave her a kiss on her forhead. He then opened his white wings and flew away*

She blinks as the cat falls asleep, and finds her own eyelids getting heavy. When was the last time she slept? The girl slowly lowered herself to the ground, being careful to avoid Tadashi. She gently placed the tiger in her arms next to the other sleeping feline. Zwn yawns, lying down on her side and closing her eyes beside the two slumbering cats.

"Alright. I'll see you when you get back." She gives him a reassuring smile, though she'd had a moment of panic before realizing that if something were to go wrong, the others would more than likely help out.
She waves as he flies off, half-hoping he'll turn back. After... Whatever that was-
(-his eyes are cold, hard, holding no trace of life-)
-she cringes. She doesn't want to be alone with her thoughts, and frankly it looks like she will be unless she either starts a conversation with one of the two girls- neither of which she knows very well- or with a certain infuriating male...which isn't happening.
Disregarding a wolf's howl(it bothers her not to investigate, but she can't go getting in trouble right after her brother leaves), she sits on the ground next to Zwn and doesn't say a word.
((@relevantpeople I guess? Idk~))

[... CaffeinatedKitty since you aren't responding to irc i'm assuming you aren't planning on editing in a post, perhaps in regard to Cairne referencing Cyra in a manner implying they were friendly at some point enough to talk about others]

((Like I have any idea why you're telling me that I should be responding to that. For one, he addressed Himinn, who is in the opposite direction, I believe, from both Alouette and Zwn, and for two, do you honestly think she's paying attention to anything right now?))

Ark (S_swimmer) Takot & Fear (Naoh)

It's ok, I have enough time," I reply. "I'm not exactly doing anything right now."

Heh, I guess you're right about that. Well, I don't remember how I got here, but I did. I made some acquaintances, a friend or two, and then the Guardian of Corruption killed me."

My eyes widen to the size of baseballs and my jaw drops. "K-killed you!?" I burst out in awe.

"Heh, yea. It was pretty messy, I kinda got blown up. Or something, it's difficult to remember."

I stare at Takot for a long time, not believing what I just heard. "So, h-how are you still... here?" I wave my hands, gesturing to his body.

"Uh, well, I just kinda – reappeared I guess. It had something to do with my element. Like, my element Fear became a physical being, it's hard to explain. He got bored and jumped into my old body – but then I confronted him, and now he's my shadow."

A long silence passes as I process what Takot said so casually. "Well... that's really interesting."

Takot's shadow twisted into the shape of an entirely different person. "Hi guy, I'm Fear."

"U-uh, hello, Fear. My name is Ark." Instinctively, I reach out to shake Fear's hand, but then realize I can't touch a shadow and sheepishly send it back to my side.

"Uh, yea, that's not going to work," said Fear. Takot grinned.

"So, um... I hope we'll be good friends, Takot, Fear." I smile.

Tarot's huge smile then dropped. "So, what's everyone's deal with you? I don't look all that smart, but I can be pretty observant. Everyone was casting weird looks at you..."

"Oh, umm..." I pause, biting my thumb, contemplating how to explain it. "I guess people don't really trust me. I've had some odd instances since waking up here, and it makes people think that I don't really have amnesia." I throw my hands out in front of me. "But really, I do."

"That's dumb," Takot stated, crossing his arms. "People don't really pay attention to me, so I guess they don't have a chance to judge me. Or they already have... I mean I am the Guardian of Fear..."

I grin. I feel like I can trust Takot, like he won't judge me or doubt me. I feel connected to him in the sense that we are both judged unfairly, but more so in a deeper sense – one I can't quite put my finger on. "I guess we're brothers in discrimination, then."

Takot grinned again. "Yeah!" He rubbed the back of his head. "I wonder if I can help you regain some of those memories..."

"Really?" Sparks ignite in my eyes. "How?"

"Well – theoretically, I can use Fear to explore your mind. You might have suppressed your memories somehow, and your fear is driving you to keep them buried."

I hesitate. The thought of someone else digging through my brain scares me. "Um... are you sure it'll work? And what if you... see my thoughts?"

"I won't be able to see a thing. Fear will be the one to do it."

"That... doesn't exactly make me feel better," I say cautiously, glancing at Takot's shadow.

A maniacal laugh was produced by Takot's shadow. "Nah, I'm just kidding. I couldn't care less what happens to you, but I have to respect you due to being Takot's friend. I have this thing, where I can't attack anyone Takot likes."

I open my mouth to protest again, but shut it. I think over the offer for a little while. "I... suppose so," I say. "I have to admit I am curious of my memories. Let's do it."

"Hahah, the contract is sealed!" Laughs Fear, as Takot's shadow stretches around Takot, and connects to Ark's shadow.

"Wha - what's going on!?" I squeak, panicking. Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain inside my head. The pain floats around in my skull, delving into the deepest parts of my brain.

"This may be a bit bumpy, so keep calm if you can, Ark," says Takot.

I press my hands to my head, digging my fingers into the black mess of my hair. Driven down to my knees, I look up at Takot and wince. "I-I'll t-try," I manage in a weak voice. Deep breaths, I tell myself. In, out, in, out. I rest my hands on my stomach and feel my chest cavity expanding and contracting. I focused on that and the pain began to dull a little bit. It works until the visions start.

This time, it's different from my first vision. It is shorter, but much more personal. Everything I see hits my vital points – my exact worst fears.

I stand in front of a crowd of people. I look around at their faces, contorted in disgust. They jeer at me and throw stones at me. Slowly, I begin to feel a warmth tickling at my feet. That warmth grows into a blistering heat. It crawls up my legs and licks at my body, consuming me in an intense and agonizing pain. Red and orange strips dance in front of my eyes. I scream.

Then darkness. The pain in my head reappears with a vengeance. It travels in circular motions, scooping out chunks of my brain and leaving me empty and exposed.

Next, I see two figures in front of me. A man and a woman. However, they are giant, and their hunched-over bodies cast long, dark shadows over me.

"You're worthless," they say. "Trash. Garbage. Why can't you be like Connor? You were supposed to help us." A torrent of emotions rages inside of me with each word. Depression, rejection, guilt, utter worthlessness from the depths of my soul. Then terror. The man slowly raises his hand. My eyes widen and I open my mouth but all I can do is squeak. My heartbeat throbs in my ears and I try to move, but my feet are frozen to the ground. The hand is brought down hard on my body continuously, then eventually with the aid of a belt. The blows are unrelenting. I am covered in pain and deep marks, but they aren't as physical as they are emotional.

Darkness swallows me again. Fear roots through my mind, scooping out more and more of my fears as the visions torment me. I try to look for missing memories, but the fear envelops me and strips me of my rationality.

Then comes a certain vision. This one now has people I recognize; Zwn, Alouette, Takot and Airis. However, they also include 1 other person – a slim girl with wavy, sparkling blond hair, pure skin, and a permanent, light smile engraved on her lips. Takot stands next to her, the other 3 Guardians 1 step away. Finally recognizing people I know, I make the mistake of thinking that my visions are finally over. Letting the dams break behind my eyelids, tears flow forth as I run towards them. I continue running, for a long time, until I stumble a little and I have to throw my arms out in front of me to keep from falling over. Stopping for a bit, I look back up and see that they are all still the same distance away. This time, not even the mysterious girl is smiling. They are fading. Fast. I run to them. They run to me. But the distance only grows. When I finally can't see them anymore –

Darkness. Just darkness. Me curled up in a ball in the middle of darkness. It drives me to hysterical terror beyond anything I have experienced. Alone. Being alone. Nobody, nothing. Pure and absolute solitude. I pound at what feels like a floor, knuckles bloodying, and scream. I scream and scream and cry. My eyes roll up into my skull and my screams grow louder and more constant. I feel my sanity deteriorating quickly, and when my last threshold is about to break, I scream, "LET ME OUT!"

Like doors opening, the darkness recedes immediately and I am thrown back into the jungle, falling on my hands and knees. I stay there for a while as I adjust back to my life, listening to the swaying of the leaves and the soft chirping of the birds. When I am ready, I get back up and look at Takot. For a fleeting moment, I see the girl once again beside him, but she quickly disappears. Reaching my hand out to try to grab her, words are pulled from my mouth. "Cynthia..."

My eyes widen in surprise. "Cynthia. I remember that name." I look at Takot.

"I remember."

(( Naoh sorry this took so long lmao I was putting it off for a while
Since we spent such a long hiatus I decided not to meet up with you to continue so I didn't include a response after the vision, react how you want ))

((It fucked up the postcounts to me, and it's basically not really in the best place since we are contributing to a big story which (if you ask me) should add to the postcount as much as every other thread does.

And hey, if it's not a big deal, why should you be worried of moving it again? ^^))
