Heralds of Darkness (D1, Early Night)

[Mindshred]

The whisper comes again, accompanied by the flapping of feathered wings in the moonlight.

"...Moto..."

[Moto Khulun]

“Had some kumis, samurai?” she says with a chuckle to the Hare, but there was an edge as she searched for the extra voice.

“Alright that is bloody creepy,” she says to the voice.

[Usagi Tsukimi]

"That I did, Moto-san. It is delicious, but it is not my friend."

To Togashi, a slow shake of her head. "Ano, but thank you for concern. I think... we might be better off... standing."

She took a deep breath, wincing, and clutched her side.

"Where is that coming from?"

[Togashi Udo]

Udo looks around.

"That is odd." Raising the volume of his voice, he calls out: "Hello? You are welcome to join us."

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun looks as well.

OOC: Investigation: 3d10o10k2 22

[Mindshred]

Both samurai can make out moonlight glistening off the bare skulls on the distant crows... all of which seem to be looking directly at the small group.

[Usagi Tsukimi]

She, too, looked about, this way and this, feeling the course of the wind and if it changed, looking for details.

Investigation (Notice) / Perception (+Wary): 4d10o10k3 22

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun knows no fear or is freaking stupid, either way she walks towards the zombie crows...

"Shoo!" she says waving her hands at them.

[Togashi Udo]

Udo slowly follows her.

"Moto-san, I don't suppose those are some sort of foreign speaking bird I'm not accustomed to?"

[Usagi Tsukimi]

"... I don't think they're ... alive," Tsukimi winced, and took up pace behind the Dragon, who followed the Unicorn, toward the death birds.

[Moto Khulun]

"Seen some talking birds... these ain't them," she says grimly.

"Stop saying our name birds!" she shouts at the dead birds.

[Mindshred]

As the trio approach the birds, they give no sign of flying away.

Instead, they bow their heads in a crude parody of a samurai's greeting, as if they were puppets attached to the same strings.


"...Moto... Ki-Rin... Unicorn..."

The undead birds turn their gaze back up to Khulun.

"...Welcome... "

[Usagi Tsukimi]

"Definitely creepy," Tsukimi shivered.

[Moto Khulun]

Moto Khulun chuckles lightly and says, “Well you look bloody awful but you recognize the strong when you see it. Welcome, why are you here?”

[Togashi Udo]

Udo is not happy about what's transpiring. All things have an order in the world, and being dead and moving just isn't right.

Khulun seems comfortable enough, however, and he's decided to follow her lead. A few hurried steps places him directly next to her, and he watches intently (and silently).
