Forum-Index → Roleplay → Supernatural HG 6The boat drifting silently through the dark fog, just a small dinghy in the purple haze. Spires rose up around the concerned sailor, haunting sounds ringing out above them, a small set of shapes leaping from one spire to the next. What seemed to be a skeleton passed by overhead, a horrific omen of events likely to come. A sudden splash made the Tribute jump, what seemed to be a fish having leapt from the water and landed in the boat, flopping weakly. It had the basic idea of a fish to it, though it was covered in light blue metal plates, the small amounts of flesh between tainted purple. A sudden cry from some unknown beast up ahead drew their attention: Birds, manipulated just like the fish. Metal plates, purple flesh, no feathers... They still flew, though. They dove down, flying over the boat and screeching like the devil, one diving into the boat and exploding in a blast of metal and teal fire, setting the entire boat alight, including the poor soul aboard it. In response, the sailor leapt into the water, only to be greeted with something worse.. What felt like the stings of a massive wasp covered their body, their silent scream unheard as the fire still raged above and their skin slowly started to turn purple...
The creature followed Natalia having to make itself smaller in order to fit into the hut, where Akane was already up. She was half awake until she noticed the creature behind Natalia. "Wait a minute is that-" Akane slowly approached it with a hand extended to pet it and it nuzzled her hand, giving consent as it made a light clicking sound, picking up on her fairy dust. "It is, it's a Nightwalker. I thought they went extict."
"Wait, haven't I heard that name before?" Jeremy asked, just coming downstairs after not seeing Akane nearby. His messy mop of hair indicated that he had just woken up.
"They're small star-shaped berries that come in red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white. It has a hard outer layer and a super soft, nearly chewy inside, like fruit snacks. Except they taste of the sweetest honey." As Akane spoke she brought up a hologram-like image above her hands. "When the berries are bunched they formed one singular iridescent star-shaped berry and the more that are added the bigger it gets. But that also being said, the more that are taken the smaller it becomes."

The Nightwalker caught the faint scent of the berries inside the pouch and looking inside saw the berries. It in turn seemed to get excited and made an attempt to put its head in the bag, but Faith had moved the bag out of the way, making it miss.
(Everyone ready for the arena event?)
From outside there was a rumble and Jeremy jerked to attention. "Is that. . .an earthquake?"
"Stay here!" She demands. "We can't risk checking on the others. We'll just have to hope that they'll know what to do." She is careful to keep both Akane and Faith within arms reach, just in case they decide to bolt and check on their partner.
The earthquake shook a sleeping Tyler out of a makeshift hammock, sending him rolling down a spire and into the shifting sands. It wasn't too painful, thankfully, but something did draw the Tribute's attention: a hollow sound of wood had echoed under his left arm, a wide crate now becoming visible. On the crate, there was a crosshair insignia, exciting Tyler into thinking he'd found a gun. Upon opening the quivering chest, however, he found a massive bow with decorative arrows, their sharp heads hammered into squares. Square tipped arrows were something new to Tyler, though they did still seem very sharp, much to his delight. Grabbing everything from the box, Tyler waded through the shivering sand and once again back to his spires. As he walked, he could feel the Virus exploring the arrows, crawling over the decorative projectiles slowly...
From upstairs there was a loud CRASH as Moona and Charlie were rudely awoken from her slumber by the quaking of the ground. Moona quickly grabbed Charlie and pulled her under one of the beds.
The moment it stopped, Molly poked his head into the room from where he had pressed himself against the door frame. "Is everyone okay?" He called, ready to preform any first aid if needed.
Akane nodded. "The Gamemakers must've gotten bored and wanted to change things up a little. Is everyone okay?"
Jeremy gramced. "Let's just hope they don't take the island down and we're forced back onto the boat."
Moona looked to Tayla, "What can Charlie and I do?"
