[PQ] Wild Hunt

MAEA

It was a spur of the moment idea, an impulsive decision, a hastily scribbled note put up on an off-the-trail place. The result of an itch beneath her skin, an ache in her bones that had very little to do with logic or reason and everything to do with hunger.

Bundled up against the cold, she waited beneath a barren tree to see if anyone would show up. Danta had told her 'No more balls' but a hunt had to be different, right? There was no music, no pomp, no faraway guests; only a bonfire to keep her warm while she waited and the potential for a feast at the end of the day. That had to be fine.

Thalassa

I wanted to scream. I wanted to yell.
I wanted to shout about it.

The note had found her at the perfect time. As the swelling need to devour built in her like a cresting wave. Her mouth watered at the thought of satiating that hunger, and she'd quickly followed to the designated meeting place.

Thal pulled her own cloak tighter around her body in an attempt to block the increasing chill of Deepfrost. It didn't have an ounce of mercy for her or her numb fingers, but then again, she didn't have any for the prey she planned to hunt. All animals had to follow their instincts and hers were screaming to kill.

Every thought seemed to be consumed by the idea of blood and the coppery taste on her tongue. Even as she found Maea waiting beneath the tree, she only fleetingly acknowledged the woman with a nod, more focused on the sights and sounds around them. Of what they may indicate nearby. And what warm sustenance they might contain.

Thalassa arrives for the hunt!

But all I could do was whipser,
"I'm fine."

Fox has promised Kiada that he will try to do better with his bloodlust. It doesn't come on all that often, in truth - not like some of the other Ancients he's met, anyway - but the gnawing hunger in the pit of his stomach is once again beginning to become a problem.

This time, at least, he's not left it long enough to become quite so withdrawn and snappy, and the note he'd found couldn't have come at a better time. Perhaps in a group setting the act wouldn't be quite so difficult.

Arriving just as bundled up as the others, he offers a polite if not tired smile of greeting to his fellow hunting party(?). "Hello," he greets. "My name is Fox. Is this the gathering for the hunt?"

MAEA

Two people were more than she had realistically hoped for, and it was with a mingled relief and onset of nerves that she greeted Thalassa, and offered a smile to the man. She had seen him in passing, but never caught his name before. "Nice to meet you, I'm Maea. You're in the right spot."

Waiting for a while longer yielded no more result, and so Maea turned to the others and tried to shake off the urge to make this more than it had to be. "Thank you for coming, especially on such short notice. I've... never hunted together with a group before. I hear it's different, maybe even easier... So that's the plan for today. If you want to shift or not is up to you. There's plenty of game, so let's head out and see what we can find, okay?"

For her part, Maea decided to shift into her gore crow form. Taking flight, she circled the bonfire until she saw the others were ready to leave, then led the way east into the woodlands, in search of fresh tracks.
