Alex looked up at the tall trees as he stood in front of the forest. He was wearing his sleeveless top, black jeans, chain, wristwear, and his combat boots. For the most part, wonderful wear to be treking through a forest. He chuckled as he started to pat the hilt of his trusty katana around his hip.
Alex had heard that this place was haunted. By what, he didn't know. However, he had heard that more came out dead than alive. Even those odds didn't deter Alex from deciding to check it out for himself. Alex took one small breaath then took a step.
Alex had been in the forest for ten minutes and so far nothing had happened. No ghosts had popped up, no unexplained voices or screams, not even a serpente showing up. Alex sighed, a bit disappointed. He would at least think that a serpente would've shown up, this probably being the perfect place for them to hang out.

(Your thread looked lonely... XD)
"Hm... if I were a hole, where would I be?" Rosu asked himself as he got down on his knees and began to feel the ground around him. Another one of his harmless pranks had begun to get out of hand, so he had to destroy all the traps he made. About three weeks ago, Rosu had the crazy idea of digging several holes in the woods and covering them up with a net and leaves; he even made it possible for the traps to reset themselves. At the time, the idea of people falling into holes was hilarious, and he always intended to let them out at the end of each day; unfortunately, he lost the map to the holes' locations last week, so he had no choice but to find all the traps and dismantle them. He was sad that he had to do this, but he had to think about his victims' safety; after all, people could only live for so long in a hole. "Well, at least I remembered to restock them before I lost the map." Rosu said to himself as he continued to feel around for a hole.
A few minutes later, Rosu came upon a suspicious pile of leaves about two feet away from the trunk of a tree. Rosu cautiously stuck his finger into the pile; he felt not earth, but air. "Yes!" Rosu exclaimed in his head, excited by the fact he found one of his holes. Before he could get to work, though, the sound of snapping twigs reached his ears; someone was coming. Reacting quickly, Rosu jumped into the tree above the hole, hid himself from view, and prepared to unsheathe the longsword on his back. Unmoving, Rosu looked in the direction of the approaching figure and waited patiently for him/her to arrive. |

Alex looked over in the direction that Itami was in, not knowing he was there, but feeling as if someone was in that direction. He relaxed as he looked around, making sure to keep his hand near his katana if he needed it. He continued to walk around aimlessly, curiosity making delve deeper into the forest.
Alex yawned as he continued to walk around the tree Itami was in for five minutes aimlessly. As he walked he felt his foot step over a pit of air. He reacted instantaneously as he did a backflip, landing in a kneeling position with his katana drawn. He looked around and looked down the hole. Nothing as far as he could tell. This almost proved that he was correct in that someone was nearby. "I know you're around here...I know you're somewhere! So go ahead and come on out! he called out.

It was actually very simple. She was letting someone els catch her food for her! Some idiot decided to dig some holes around the area, people falling in every which way. Layra used that to her advantage. Why break a nail running after prey? Or risking pregnancy after seducing men? Who needed that crap anyway. Men were so easy to catch. All you had to do was walk in front of them and smile. For more fun, you could wave and threaten to take off your shirt.
Catching other animals was still a challange, but all too easy. If only she could've lived back in the dino era. Catching dinosaurs was probably more amusing than running after scrawny little mammles. Chicken wings were more meaty than what was in this damn forest. Still, having things fall in holes was nice. Especially the looks on their faces. The "Holly crap! I fell in a hole" look. Dinner and a show!
The weather was cold and a light layer of frost littered the earth below her feet. In her human form, Layra wore a faded black tank top with a lot of holes in it. Black jeans adding onto her creepy goth look. Still, even with that attire, she wasn't cold. Her belly was bloated after another large meal of human male. Some guy wandering in the woods made a nice lunch. Don't you think. Too bad she had to strip him first, he was ugly. Oh well. Clothes weren't really on the menu.
She trotted along, enjoying herself until she caught the scent...His scent. Crap! He just had to be in the place she was. Hmm, maybe now she'll be able to eat him. Without the guilt. She'd just have to do it with her eyes closed. She dropped to all fours. A short snout and long tail sprouting. Large paws replacing hands and feet. She felt her bones move and her teeth grow long. Then standing in her place was a mound of muscular black panther.
She chose this animal because of its silence during the hunt. And for its size. The animal licked her chops and stalked forward. Toward te scent of the man she wanted to kill. But, another scent caught her nose. Naturally curious, Layra left the hunt and followed her nose to this other man. Hmm, he looked like he had some decent meat on him.
Now to just wait... |

(Your RP skills have really improved, Layra. *applauds*)
Rosu watched in amazement as the guy below him did a black-flip to stop himself from falling into the hole. It wasn't the fact that he back-flipped... it was the fact that he back-flipped while a foot was already falling into the hole! Rosu (for the life of him) could not think of anyone that could do such a thing... at least, anyone that was human. "Could this guy be a Ryougan? I'm jumping to conclusions, yes, but it's the only answer I can think of! After all, there's a difference between having skills and going against gravity, and quite frankly, no amount of skill would allow a human to do that sort of thing!" Rosu's thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of the guy's voice:
"I know you're around here...I know you're somewhere! So go ahead and come on out!
This left Rosu with a big decision: should he come out of the tree(and hope the guy wasn't a Serpente), sneak attack him, or teleport out of the woods? He knew the third option was out (since he had to dismantle the trap holes as soon as possible), but he couldn't make up his mind about the other two. "Hm... the first one will leave me totally open, but it will make conversation more likely... the second one will give me the upper hand, but if it was just a regular human or an Aquila, I'd be hurting a friend... dang it! If only I had an easy button!" Rosu thought to himself as he debated between the two choices. After some careful thought, he made a decision: he would come out of the tree. After all, that's what Itami Rosu (not "Il Ladro Esperto") would do, right?
Taking a deep breath, Rosu fell from the tree and landed about two meters away from the stranger. With his arms raised, Rosu said to him: "I come in peace... no need to use weapons." To show his good faith, he unsheathed his longsword, placed it on the ground, and took a few steps back. Unknown to the both of them, a deadly animal lurked in the shadows... |
