RE: burn everything you love then burn the ashes; anyone fun - Porrim - 09-01-2015 The Playground? Porrim's heart sinks – the Meadow is a long enough walk from the Jungle in and of itself, but the Playground is uncomfortably close to the Chamber, and the last thing she wants to see is Gryffen taking her for a stroll to check out all the strange things he'd described to her. As if she couldn't get any further from home! But Annihilate seems very much convinced (well, a little unsure, truth be told, but as convinced as she can make herself look) that she can not only get there on her own, but back as well, and Porrim blows out a troubled breath as the pale stallion speaks up. “Gryffen's right,” she agrees, trying not to look overly sour about this as she reaches to brush her muzzle against the filly's shoulder in return. “I'm surprised your mother let you come out this far by yourself. I'll walk with you – at least part of the way. Your cousin's been there all afternoon, anyway.” Another lie – Uisce would be coming four now, and even if he wasn't too old for the Playground, she has no idea where on earth he's gone. “Shall we-?” The words die on her lips as she follows Gryffen's stare – there is a small herd of deer bolting hell for leather from the treeline, and smoke billowing over the treetops. It's impossible. Too cold for forest fires. This is not a natural blaze. Immediately, Porrim takes a step closer to Annihilate with an uneasy rustle of her wings as she focuses on the shape emerging from the trees. The sight of Gendry does little to improve her mounting concern, and the yellow mare snorts, skin prickling with the urge to shift – into – hell, what can she possibly turn into that would be remotely fireproof? She has no idea, and anyway, Gendry has reached their little crowd by now, settling behind the filly with a displeased sort of look. He is a little less alarming now that he's not on fire, and though Porrim cannot smell the Jungle on him over all the smoke, a longer look at him finds her settling down considerably. He wastes precious little time in giving Annihilate a piece of his mind, and Porrim finally – slooowly – steps away from the girl, catching Gendry's eye with a faint smile when he goggles at her for a brief moment. She doesn't recall having seen him around the Jungle, but then again, she'd tended to keep to herself, and she'd definitely heard his name often enough – so when he introduces himself, she nods, offering Gryffen a sweet smile before returning her attention to the orange stallion. “Porrim,” she responds. “Tell your mother I said hello, will you? It was lovely meeting you too, sweetheart,” she adds, flashing Annihilate a mildly sympathetic (albeit somewhat relieved) glance. With that, she turns and saunters past their red-eyed companion. “Nice speaking with you, Gryffen,” she murmurs, smiling wryly. “Afternoon.” And with that, she ambles off – though she has not, she thinks, seen the last of a certain adventurous filly. OOC; I am excusing Porrim since she's due in a little under a week and I'll never forgive myself if I try to juggle threads in two separate seasons. ;p I love everyone in this thread, jsyk. ![]() RE: burn everything you love then burn the ashes; anyone fun - Annihilate - 09-01-2015 ![]() Annihilate
burn everything you love then burn the ashes Anni dug in her heels and pinned her ears at the grown-ups’ insistence that she couldn’t go to the playground by herself. She damn well could, and it would be a better idea than letting a stranger take her somewhere, that was for sure! She wasn’t stupid, she knew that she wasn’t supposed to go places with strangers, not even strangers who seemed nice. So nope. She set her jaw, and was about to go off on them again, when they got awfully distracted all of a sudden. She was about to turn around and look, when a snarly, growly, delightful voice addressed her. “Daddy!” Anni whirled around to face her favorite person ever, excepting of course for Maul. Definitely Maul was the best. But Daddy! She cuddled up against him, rubbing her face on his big, broad chest and beaming. Daddy was here! Ooh, he could teach her how to get home from…wherever it was she’d ended up. That would be a handy thing to know. He was, of course, berating her for scaring the everliving fuck out of him. And that was fair, really, but it was hardly her fault she’d won the game. “Uh-huh! I could have been kidnapped, or murdered, or put under a spell, or ooh, maybe hexed by a mean old witch! Or stolen by the fairies and dragged into a wild and crazy adventure! Orrrr I could have been trampled by a stampede, or I could have gotten lost or hurt or maybe! Maybe what about if I’d gotten stuck in a hole! If it were deep enough, ooh maybe even a cave! Are there dragons here, maybe I could have been held hostage by a dragon! I bet that would be fun! Oh, I mean dangerous. Bad, very bad, yep!” But her eyes were bright with excitement, and she could barely contain the giddy wriggling of her little body. The only thing that dimmed her excitement was Daddy’s mention that Momma was looking for her. Ooooohhhh, Momma was gonna be mad. She was nervous for all of a second before curiosity overrode sense. Momma on a rampage could be fun! Probably more fun if the rampage were because of somebody else, but still! Ooohhh. “Daddy, can you show me how to get home, please? Probably we should let Momma know I didn’t drown or get murdered by a lion or stolen away to a secluded mountaintop by an evil wizard. Ooh, or mutilated by a psychopath! Bye bye, Porrim!” Anni called to her so-called Auntie Nova’s back as she retreated. She turned back to Gryffen for a minute, an excited glint in her eyes as she said, “Thank you for telling me about the Chamber! I think I’d like to see it someday. Maybe Daddy will take me there sometime!” Or maybe she would sneak away again and find her way there herself. Ooooooh, maybe Mauly would like to come with! Yessss, they could have an adventure together! And hear the Chamber’s heartbeat, and see the burning tree, and he’d said something about ravens, right? They were probably cool! “But I’ve got to go home now, g’bye!” Gendry and Arrya's boom baby |
