wild in the silence; no way to make it right
It was perhaps an odd group that Remi has assembled (save for Ronin), but after his recent (and literal) brush with death, the Lullaby's outlook on pain and past grievances had shifted quite drastically. Mistakes would always be made by his own hand as well as the hands of others, what good did it do anyone to act without forgiveness or understanding? Very little, Remi's time with Mort had taught him.

Having all met up in the Greatwood in order to begin their adventure together, now the four stand at the most easterly edge where grasses have bled away into sand and the towering trees of the Woods are small in the distance. "I am not sure what to expect, really." Remi remarks with a boyish shrug. "Mort simply said there was something I might find interesting where the bones are buried. I can only assume he meant here. Ronin and I think it might be a pillow that instantly puts you to sleep." He adds with a chuckle.

Dressed in a thin white shirt that he might be protected from the sun's rays while remaining cool, already there is a bit of sweat on Remi's forehead that he wipes away with the back of one arm. In his curls his new spriggan companion chirps conversationally.

RONIN
Ronin is dressed not dissimilarly to his husband, though he has the addition of a small white dragon curled around his shoulders, Sugar busy nosing into his ear and his hair as the woods filter away into sand and barren earth. And now that they stand at the edge of what will eventually become the Boneyard, he can't help but feel a small tremor of trepidation. With his hands in his pockets and a stick of peppermint bark between his teeth, he eyes the growing sands with blue eyes that seem darker than usual.

"Whether or not it's a pillow, let's all be careful," he suggests. The last time Ronin had come out here, a man under his command had lost his life. And gods but if he isn't tired of losing people that way. Still summoning something like a smile, he glances over his shoulder at the other members of their group. "I know a pretty good bar we can go to get a drink after this."



Ronin also only brings himself and Sugar!

SUNJATA
the flood
'cause we might as well be blind,
if seeing is believing, this parable's misleading
It’s a trek to the desert, one that feels surprisingly more at home for the Flood. He’s quietly grateful it isn’t Halo or a place colder, at the very least, and for the most part he keeps his shoulders and neck partially shifted with the fur of his Pegasus shift, the pale white hoping to offset the sunlight and protect his already tanned and tattooed skin. “Expect the unexpected, then.” Sunjata murmurs with a soft laugh, flashing an amused grin back to Remi and Ronin and Aurelia as Haai follows on their heels, padding through the sand until her paws get to warm and she takes to the sky.

It’s strange, he thinks, unsure if he’d been on an adventure like this with both Remi and Ronin, but he certainly much prefers to be on their side throughout it (a shiver of remembrance for LongNight courses through his spine before he shrugs it off). “I’ll take you up on that.” He says to Ronin, nudging an elbow out toward the Huntsman, before he’s peering through the desert, ready to follow them wherever the deign to go.



Sunjata brings himself and Haai, as well as these items!

Type: Grey
hEARs | An earring that when worn, increases the sound of voices (especially whispers)

Type: Grey
Flooded Brass Knuckles | brass knuckles inlaid with sapphires. When something is hit with these, jets of water pour from the sapphires with shocking force. Made by Remi.

Type: Dark
Trident Daggers (Upgraded) | Two daggers perfectly weighted and sculpted for Sunjata. One can shoot fire in a 5ft arc and the other electricity.

Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

Aurelia
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
She wears a thin cloak, actually, with the hood up - because it blocks the sun. A canteen of water is fastened around her waistline with rope. Throwing daggers rest in their sheaths on the other side of her hip, as always. Sweat beads along her shoulders and collarbone, hot and sticky. At least by the ocean, the breeze was cool.

Gods-only-know why they're out here. Literally. That's been taken into consideration already, and she nods at Remi as the point is reclarified and caution is mirrored by the others in their party. Expect the unexpected, be careful, who knows what's out here, got it.

However...

"Fuuuck, it's hot," she complains mildly, not that it adds much of anything to the conversation. The mention of a drink has her perking up a bit and she offers Ronin a humorours half-smile.

Turning her attentions to their surroundings, she squints against the glare of sunlight and tries to see if there's anything else other than bones. "Where do you think we should start looking?" She asks this to Remi, glancing at him, "..For the pillow."



Aurelia is looking around at... bones and sand, saying what they're all thinking, ready to go.

She brings:

a thin cloak (designed to shield the sunlight and blend into the desert)
a canteen of water
10ft hempen rope
throwing daggers (3)
shield bangle (listed in profile)
but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep

As you walk, you notice that the wind—blistering hot and relentless—covers your tracks almost as soon as you've made them. Pity no one brought bread crumbs that you might find your way back. Pity too that the tracks of anything else around are going to be similarly erased.

As Aurelia points out, the day is hot, and it's only going to get worse. Much the same way Halo is always varying degrees of cold, Hak Etme is always hot and today is no exception despite how the temperatures in other lands have dropped appropriately with the change in season.

Perched atop a cactus (many of which now litter the landscape), is a Shangyang. Staring at the group with an unwavering glare, the bird croaks a warning as far in the distance a landshark rises from the ground to snap up a fox.

It is really hot. There’s a rumble of agreement to Aurelia that slips from the Flood as they begin their walk, scanning the ground around them for anything of interest. He sees the bird, of course he does, and he squints at it as it squawks its warning, before his eyes snap to the land shark that’s popped out of the sand to devour a fox. Haai flies from above, circling the group and scanning the area for anything of interest while Sunjata does much the same from below.

And so Sunjata continues forward with the group, eyes peeled for anything that might seem out of place, wreckage along their path or perhaps the wind might open a handle to a door into some reprieve from the sandy wasteland they find themselves on.



Sunjata continues ahead, scanning the area for anything out of place while Haai does the same from above!

wild in the silence; no way to make it right
Flashing a smile at Aurelia, this I've-Met-Mort Remi an entirely different man than the one she'd stumbled upon by Aoife's grave, he nods his head toward where the Boneyard seems to properly begin. "Mort had mentioned it being among the bones. I assume that means perhaps we are meant to dig, or..." With an uneasy shrug, Remi surveys the area as if there might be some comically obvious sign of what they're meant to do.

The distant rumble of the landshark has the Lullaby tensing his jaw and frowning in the distance. "We can all fly, can't we?" He wonders, before raising a brow in Aurelia 's direction. Even if she couldn't, Ronin could carry her on his nimbus, or either he or Sunjata could support her on their backs. "If we are off the ground and communicating silently—" That was, through the attuned bond. "—we might be able to avoid detection by the landsharks." To his knowledge those were the only proper predators out here. But it was as Ronin had said: expect the unexpected.



Remi suggests that they all shift into something flighted and use attuned speech to avoid detection by landsharks.

Aurelia

despite the challenge
The bird draws her attention, but the shadow of a landshark in the distance is what really catches her eye. Not good, that. Perhaps, even, a bad omen. If one believes in that sort of thing. Aurelia questions whether or not she does as Sunjata continues ahead.

She's in the middle of regretting not bringing a shovel or a ray gun when Remi asks if they can all fly. Contemplating how that'll work out for her, it only takes her a few moments to get on the same page as Remi.

With ease, she shifts into the red panda, where she leans back on her haunches to look up at the rest of them. I like that plan. And if there's anything interesting around, we'll be able to see it from up high, she remarks with optimism. Then she tilts her head all the way to one side and asks, But uhh... do one of you mind giving me a ride? I can't fly but I'm - what - ten pounds? Maybe thirteen soaking wet. At that, she drops back onto all fours, shakes out her pelt, and glances up between them with bright eyes and a bushy tail.



Aurelia shifts into the red panda, using Attuned speech to communicate with everyone else now. & She asks to hitch a ride with one of the boys~

RONIN
"Digging for bones? Sounds about right," Ronin reasons with a quick smile, glancing across the landscape and narrowing his eyes at the landshark as it surfaces, however briefly. Remi's idea is a good one - the last time they'd made it out here, much the same thing had happened, and taking to the air had mitigated the damage at that point. "You can perch on a cloud with me," he informs Aurelia, letting out a sharp whistle to call down his nimbus.

And when it arrives, Ronin scoops up the red panda and cuddles her for good measure, before hopping aboat the cloud and letting it soar high up and into the air. Lead the way, he suggests to one of the other men. Unless you'd prefer Aurelia and I to be the cannon fodder.



Ronin hops aboard his nimbus and takes Aurelia with him!

Remi 's preferences about whether Ronin and Aurelia will become cannon fodder have nothing to do with it. Ronin 's sharp whistle calls his cloud as well as the landshark; sand snarls through the air as the beast races beneath the surface, its fin just visible through the golden haze.

Rising in an arc intent on swallowing the cloud, the man, and the fluffy-tailed-pillow, the landshark dives and misses Ronin and Aurelia. Falling back toward the sands it crashes upon them, diving down deep for another lunge toward the surface.

They make it work, yet in the process attract the attention of the landshark. Grimacing, Sunjata does nod to Remi’s question, already shifting into something else, hoping it doesn’t bother Ronin to see it but it’s one of the most offensive shifts he has. Haai is already in the air, whirling to face the landshark as it dives under the sand again and Sunjata takes on the shape of his dragon shift, all scales and teeth and protectiveness as Haai comes up beside him, aiming for when the landshark aims up again. That certainly got its attention. Sunjata grumbles through the Attuned bond.

Get higher! Sunjata calls to them, aiming to come in between the nimbus and where the landshark might happen to be, lightning crackling around his maw with claws outstretched, ready to aim a blast at the next section of dorsal fin he spies through the sand. Haai is alongside him, working hard to do the same with her flame.



Sunjata shifts to his dragon shift and aims a blast of lightning toward where he hopefully can see the dorsal fin of where it’ll jump out next. Haai also aims a blast of fire breath at it.

REMI
if you're not going to swim deep with me
Ronin whistles looking absolutely the part of the rugged and too-handsome Huntsman. Of course with that necessarily comes the ferocious beast for him to tame, and it's because of this that Remi shoots him a flat stare before his expression is eaten up by fur and a feline smirk. Subtle. He chuckles for all to hear.

Lifting into the air on large wings that quickly elevate him from the sands, he bobs his head in agreement with Sunjata. The higher the better. I have never seen any of them rise more than ten feet or so. Shifted and without a breath-weapon like Sunjata, it is up to the other two men to deal with the landshark (unless red pandas had some ranged ability he didn't know about).



Remi leaves the landshark to Ronin and Sunjata to deal with and flies out of its range (hopefully).

Aurelia

Perching on a cloud sounds all fine and dandy in the moment, so when Ronin scoops her up, Aurelia is little else than a furry ragdoll to go willingly along with him. That and the cuddles garner a warble of appreciation, but in the face of the quest before them she is quick to turn her attentions back to their surroundings.

At which point, she's able to see the landshark leap for them, jaws parting to try and pluck them from the air. Her fur immediately fluffs up in alarm, posing much like a startled cat.

Luckily, it misses, but she's still slow to relax anyway. Maybe it'll lose us... she tacks on after Remi's advise.

Maybe that's hopeful thinking, or maybe there are worse things to worry about out here.



For the time being, Aurelia stays in panda form and sticks to Ronin like glue, agreeing that the landshark might lose them if they stay up high.

RONIN
So sue me for thinking that they were attracted by tremors in the ground rather than whistles, Ronin drawls back to his shifted party, seeming almost stupidly at ease as the nimbus flies them neatly out of range of the landshark. It's got his attention now, of course, so - still cuddling Aurelia in his lap like a teddy bear (and giving her head a little pat as if to tell her not to worry) - Ronin absolutely chooses to retaliate.

And with a big ol' dragon (hi Sunjata) helping out, this shouldn't be too difficult, right? On the tail of fire and lightning, three starbolts blaze to life around the Huntsman, Ronin directing the nimbus ahead and unleashing them towards the landshark as well.



Ronin flies higher, and follows up Sunjata & Haai's attack with some starboltz!
