Dawn of the Blessing (Open RP) (Unova)

[Falcon]

(Man, staying up as late as I did practically killed me. Sorry for posting so late.)

Saoirse and Ciar - Forest's Edge

Rather than verbally answer, the pup nodded rapidly, before he carefully crawled onto the Lugioptile's back. "Thank you," he murmured, using an inside voice for once as he gave her a quick hug.

As she watched the pair, Saoirse finally allowed herself to genuinely smile for the first time in a while; however, this twisted into a frown of worry when she saw that Allira had offered to carry Ciar on her back. As the group began to move off, Saoirse decided against flying for once, and she settled into a slow walking pace beside Allira and Ciar.

"If you show any signs of tiring, or if Ciar starts yawning, I'll be here to take him from you," she said, her voice unusually quiet. "Y'know, you're the first soul I've met that's been nice to us since we lost our parents. I'm sorry that you've been through a lot."

"Bah," the younger Hybrid huffed, his tail lashing a few times before once again falling still. "I'm not tired yet."

[Azunara]

Rin
Forest Near Bridge

When she was sure the coast was clear, Rin happily turned herself invisible, easily moving ahead of the pack of Blessing. She felt no immediate need to warn those at the Bridge--if there were in fact two Legends, they could probably handle themselves, and if not that was their problem, not hers. Still, it wouldn't hurt to figure out what exactly what was going on with the whole mess. She skedaddled, edging a good distance from the group. No point in accidentally crashing into them.

She paused when she heard voices in the distance. She didn't immediately get concerned--they couldn't see her--but she scrabbled up a tree anyways, using the branches to make her way across. She frowned at the sight of the small group ahead, including a vaguely familiar shaymin.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bellflower, Fallon, Efah - Near Village Bridge

Fallon wasn't happy about this. Then again, she was very rarely happy about things. But she was far more unhappy about this than usual. She didn't enjoy being so close to Village Bridge, that was for sure.. But the course they'd been traveling had lead them in the Bridge's direction, and she honestly didn't want to just double back. They'd pass through the area, and continue on. It was simple as that.

Still, the closer they got to the Bridge, the grumpier the Dusk-Evolved became. Bellflower had managed to finally retrieve a Spitebloom from the bag she had slung around her neck, however, and had promptly skedaddled up into the sky for the trip.

"Hey Fallon, I can see the Bridge from here!" He called down, before zipping down to land on the branch of a nearby tree. He peered down at the Dusk-Evolved from his perch, his tiny tail twitching nervously, "It's been a while since we've been here, huh?" He got no more than just a growl in reply. The Shaymin sighed. He honestly wasn't particularly happy about being so close to the Bridge either, as he didn't really like remembering the time they had spent there in the past... He shuddered involuntarily, seeming to be in no hurry to move from the tree just yet.

[Azunara]

Rin
Near Bridge

Marina watched the delcatty and her companion below as she slowly made her way across a branch. She had no interest in tangling with the Dusk-Evolved. Something about her made Rin uneasy anyways--and it wasn't necessarily because she had been Dusk. She stopped as her branch seemed to shake, looking up at the sight of the shaymin. She did recognize him! Granted, it was a bit hard not to, he was certainly unique. She remained where she was on her branch, although she did shake it, hissing quietly, "Oi! Bellflower!"

[TK-Hikaru13]

{I stayed up at ungodly hours. Someone swat me with a newspaper.}

Sin - Blessing Encampment

Sin moved to the middle of the pack. Grinning. It would finally be time for him to show all these jerks what he was made of. 'And take down those fucking freaks at Village Bridge.' He thought to himself, grinning.

Vanilla - Outskirts of Village Bridge

Vanilla smiled when the Linoon hybrid came down from her tree. "There there, we're okay see? Nothing to fear." She said soothingly, taking a step closer to them. "Would you like me to heal you?" She offered.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bellflower, Fallon - Near Village Bridge

The Shaymin let out a squeak and jumped in surprise as he heard a voice call his name from behind him, scrambling around and nearly falling off the branch. Below the tree, Fallon merely snorted and rolled her eyes, continuing to walk. She was more than happy to just leave Bellflower behind, really.

"W-Who's there?!" Bellflower squeaked, having regained his balance, rather freaked out by how it seemed that thin air had called his name.

[Azunara]

Rin
Near Bridge

Rin scooted on her branch to make sure the evolved delcatty was at least sort of away before she uncloaked herself with a huge, toothy grin, her voice still quiet. "Long time no see! And I see you're still traveling with the jerkface, not that I'll ever understand why." Rin had a smug grin on her face as she added, "You know, for a Legendary, you startle awfully easy."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bellflower, Fallon - Near Village Bridge

Bellflower blinked a couple times as Rin appeared. "Wha---Rin?" He said in surprise, visibly relaxing quite a bit as he recognized the Linoone. "Heheh, sometimes I dunno why I stay with her either... and HEY! I do not!" His expression turned indignant, and he puffed out his chest, trying to look as impressive and not easily-scared as possible.

"What in the Dusk's name is that idiot doing?" Fallon snarled as she came to a halt, peering back in the direction Bellflower apparently was. As much as she would have thought she was okay with leaving him behind, she decided to wait until the Shaymin caught up. If he hadn't just taken off for some crazy reason, anyway.

[Silvershade]

Robin
Outskirts of Village Bridge

An unsure expression crossed their face as Mattie floated closer, but the Linoone hybrid was reassured as the bug spoke. Robin smiled as they lifted a brown forepaw to shake hands. Or, well, shake a paw and a stripey lance-thing, whatever, close enough.
Flicking their ears as Vanilla spoke, Robin turned their head to look at the Audino. "No," Robin replied, a little more acidly than they had intended to. The hybrid huffed and spoke up again, less harshly this time "No, I'm all good."


Sam
Blessing Encampment

The group was starting to move, albeit slowly. Took them long enough. Not wanting to intermingle with the rest of the crowd, the Honchkrow leaped up, flying to a nearby branch. When the group got a fair distance ahead, he pushed himself off the branch, leaving it swaying wildly as he glided effortlessly to the next tree, making sure not to stray too far from the group.

[Azunara]

Rin
Somewhere near the Bridge

"The one and only! And really, she's so grumpy. All I'm saying is I'm gonna make sure to keep myself hidden around her. I like not being chewed out, possibly literally." Rin replied, shuddering slightly. "And oh please. You totally wigged out. I've seen skitties less worried than you were right about then." She grinned wickedly at Bellflower. "Buuuut I guess we all can't be as fearless as I am."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bellflower - Near Village Bridge

"I didn't wig out! I just.. Uhh.." The Shaymin trailed off, ears flattening a little, "Okay maybe I'm a little bit on-edge right now. I don't like being this close to the Bridge." He paused, "Uh, kind of long story behind that. But never mind, uhh.. What are you doing around here, anyway?"

[HoneyShuckle]

(Damn it you guys, I drive for one hour. ONE HOUR. XD)

Maverick-near village bridge

"Fallon, we should just leave him. He thinks he can handle himself, we should let him." He said coolly. "If he comes crawling back, he comes crawling back. Annoyingly simple." For some reason, he himself was nervous about going to the bridge. He hadn't existed, apparently in this form, until after the Villainous Dusa had been killed, but it was a little... Disconcerting all the same.

Mattie, GTM-outskirts of Village bridge

Mattie grinned when the Hybrid shook metaphorical hands with her. "Come on, their house isn't too far away." She started to dash after the two legends, glancing back over one of her shoulders as she did so to make sure they were fallowing.

GTM rolled his eyes. "You're not being quiet. Then again, when do we actually listen to each other." He gave Terrakion another little swat. "I'm fine."

Spinnaker- forest near village bridge

Having repulsed four Different women away from him within five minutes, he was starting to entertain himself, by rambling of his own mercenary exploits, and how one day he will pick a women who understands, or has the capacity to understand his exploits. Even other men were starting to shy away at this point. "Who the hell let this bastard in?" Was one of the overheard comments.

[Azunara]

Rin
Near Bridge

She leaned over slightly, peering out at the Bridge. It didn't look that dangerous. Or even scary. Then again, she had heard about that Dusa pokemon. Never really seemed to bother her, she just laid low and made profit on those who fled. It was a bit hard to carry all your possessions when you're running, after all. "Doesn't seem that bad a Bridge. I guess it's a big ugly..." She paused, frowning thoughtfully. "Oh, right. As for what I'm doing here, well. Have you heard of a little group called the Blessing?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Bwahaha, this is why one should never leave during the afternoon/evening when these RPs are going! XP))

Fallon, Efah - Near Village Bridge

Fallon let out a frustrated sigh, tail twitching. "Good point. If he wants to lag behind for whatever reason, then I guess he'll just have to try to catch us to us." She said, before beginning to walk again. Why she had even thought of waiting for the annoying little Shaymin was honestly beyond her.

After a few minutes of padding along, the Dusk-Evolved came to a halt, ears pricking up. She sniffed the air, letting out a quiet hiss. "There's some Pokemon not too far away. A lot of them, too." She stated, unsheathing her claws with a growl. As she did, Efah stirred, slowly raising his head from his mother's mane to glance around, "Where are we...?"

----

Bellflower - Near Village Bridge

"Uh, like I said, it's a long story. I'll, um, explain it later?" He offered, tail twitching. "And uhhh.. No? Should I have?"

----

Brigid - Forest near Village Bridge

The Delcatty kept pace with the rest of the group, though she made a point of avoiding that annoying Chandelure. Her ears pricked up alertly as they started getting closer to the Bridge. Part of her honestly hoped that this mission would go over smoothly, and they'd find the escapees without having to fight. It would save them a lot of trouble in the long run.

----

Terrakion - Outskirts of Village Bridge

"Aww, do you really have to ruin my attempt at being so nice to you? Honestly, it's kind of rude." Terrakion couldn't help but grin, chuckling a little. "But alright, alright. If you say so. Also, you should know better than to expect me to actually shut up when you tell me to."

[Moonlost]

Allira - Outskirts of Village Bridge

Allira only nodded to Ciar, amused by his enthusiasm. She waited until the little guy was settled, before hefting herself upright and onto her hind legs, tucking her foreclaws underneath her. As she thought, his weight was not too hard to bear, although she was still silently glad that this house was relatively close by. Still, she nodded in agreement to the little one's sister. She wouldn't want to either collapse again, or to have her rider fall off. With a swish of her tail, she began to pad after the group, her pace somewhat slow to best keep up her energy.

"I think that this is the least I could do," Allira responded to Saoirse in that quiet voice of hers, turning her head a little so she could look at the other hybrid. "You did not have to risk your neck to help me, yet you did. And the two of you remind me of my Tribe a little."
She paused in her speaking to lick her snout a little. "I'm sorry the both of you have had a rough time. The Blessing spreads rumours, makes others think that anyone abnormal is dangerous. That's how I got captured. I was offered shelter from a storm by a Trainer's pokemon, only to wake up to find myself surrounded by Blessing."
Despite her best efforts, a nervous rumble ran along her throat. She shouldn't be thinking about the Blessing right now. She was safe.

___

Harrier - Blessing Camp

Harrier's attention was focused on the forming group, pleased to see the numbers that were forming. Assuming that they could avoid tripping over their own talons, they should have the advantage here. She even spotted one or two full assassins. If they could not wipe out a few measly abominations with this group, then her higher-ups should really reconsider their combat training strategies.
With a flick of her head, she glared down at Acedron, scrutinising the small bat-like pokemon.
"You smell like wet fur." She told her, before going back to ignoring her.

[Azunara]

Rin
Near Bridge

"Never heard of the Blessing?" Rin fake-gasped in surprise. "But they're bleedin' everywhere! Alright, alright. I'll let you in. See, there's this group of pokemon calling themselves the Blessing. Saviors of all and some stuff like that, y'know? All I knew about 'em was occasionally they'd get in the way of my hobby and even more occasionally gave me a meal. You never heard that from me. But anyways, word is they help everyone, give 'em food, place to rest their heads, and so on. Except apparently they've got some issue with pokemon that aren't considered normal or pure blooded. You know, shinies, deltas, hybrids, Dusk, the whole works. So goes the rumors."

Here the linoone got really excited, a huge grin on her face. "But y'see, the Blessing aren't very good at screening their folks. 'Least not if you're a Delta. Suckers let me in, piece of cake. Poor little linoone, out in the cold, looking to get some help from the Blessing and maybe give some help for others in their position? It's the oldest trick in the book. Add on to my Delta type letting me getting around nice and smooth without them catching me and I can effectively learn every little dirty secret the Blessing might have." Rin looked incredibly proud of herself.

[HoneyShuckle]

(I have to be busy on afternoons. )

maverick- near village bridge

Maverick smirked as they left the Shaymin behind. Now he had his family to himself, at least for a little while. "We're at village bridge, kitten." He said to his child. "Used to be dangerous. Now is not."

GTM, Mattie -outskirts of Village bridge

"Oh shuushhh-" GTM then tripped, grabbing onto one of Terrakion's horns to stop himself from falling. "Fuck."

Mattie had to slow down relatively quickly, she still didn't have much strength recovered from that fire attack. "Ack..." She grinned back at the hybrids that she was escorting. "Maybe I should stick close, huh?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Bellflower - Near Village Bridge

"Wait, if you've gotten in, then.. ARE those rumours true?" Bellflower asked, a worried expression crossing his face, "Cause if so.. Then if Fallon runs into any of them..." He winced, ears flattening, "It probably won't end well..."

----

Fallon, Efah - Near Village Bridge

"Oh..." Efah sat up, only to squeak a little as Fallon growled. She lashed her tail, flexing her claws, "Let's keep going." She said, before padding off again. She didn't like it here at all, and she was becoming quite wary of both being in the area of the Bridge, and of the mixed mass of scents that were being blown down wind towards them.

----

Terrakion - Outskirts of Village Bridge

"Arceus--Jeez!" Terrakion nearly stumbled, coming to an abrupt halt as GTM grabbed onto one of his horns. He raised an eyebrow at the other Legend, snorting, "And here you were just saying that you were "fine". I dunno, but I'm not sure if I really believe you on that now."

((Ahaha, I'm just laughing at how so much stuff is going on in the Village Bridge area right now.. Sooner or later, ONE of these groups will run into the other, and then all hell will break loose. XD))

[Azunara]

Rin
Somewhere Around Village Bridge We're Not Even Sure Anymore

"I--well. Welllllll. See, here's the thing this whole venture is kind of a work in progress. Namely on the one hand it is kind of weird that I only really saw a bunch of 'normal' pokemon--I'll pretend there were deltas like me around, but still. But I haven't seen them act aggressively towards those who weren't like them. In fact, that whole breakout thing I've been hearing about is the first time A, 'Weird species' were seen around the Blessing and B, they seem very desperate to get them altogether." She made no comment about Fallon. The Dusk-Evolved probably could handle herself, and besides, from what Rin knew of her she wasn't a fan. The evolved delcatty seemed aggressive, arrogant, and kind of stupid--a combination of traits that tended to be awfully volatile and unpredictable. No, Rin wanted nothing to do with Fallon.

[TK-Hikaru13]

{Be prepared! Vanilla's visions come with some insane formatting!}

Vanilla - Outskirts of Village Bridge

Vanilla smiled as the others began leaving. They'd be safe. 'I should follow them as well.' She thought to herself, turning. Vanilla felt the Linoon hybrid would be able to take care of themselves. 'Everything's going to be fine.' Vanilla thought. Until her head began to throb. "N-No. Not now please not now!" She whispered to herself, trying to will the pain away. Vanilla looked up at the others, black beginning to edge the corners of her vision. "H-Help!" Vanilla cried, trying to catch up to the others. Within moments, her head jerked unnaturally, her bells ringing loudly.

An army advancing.

Blood everywhere, so much of it.

"I loved you."

"I'LL EAT YOU ALL!"

Vanilla fell to the ground, unconscious.
