Rise of the Shadows!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost grinned weakly at Ironskull, "If you want to.. I mean, it'd be nice if you could and stuff... Heh.."

[Magnakilro]

The Unowns were curious, "Are you a kitty?"

Ironskull nodded and walked to Sol.

He grunted a greeting.

[Azunara]

Solara blinked and flicked her tail in reply.

[Saturo]

Darkrai faded, and reappeared in front of the Absol where he licked it right across it's face.

[Magnakilro]

He scratched a picture, asking if she was ok

[Azunara]

((I stand corrected. It's the joltean that's the issue. Ah well, just means I need to level up some more.))

Solara nodded cautiously, "Fine. Why?" Eleredar, sensing that this would end badly, slunk quietly away to the edge of the cave, to peer at the sky. Dagger was busy preening his feathers.

[Kira]

The Absol let out something like a roar, backing up as it shivered.
Delora took that time to blast it with a Flamethrower, watching as it burst into flames and started to shrink. "Think that did it..?"

--

Kyuu blinked before she looked at herself, then at the kids again. "I guess you could call me a kitty, yeah.."

[Kamalia]

"Aww." Julius rubbed up against her side, making a soft chirring noise. "And I agree with Iron. The best thing to do is talk, right? You've been pretty quiet, too. Maybe if you speak up or something you won't feel as awkward? We'll be right back!" He dashed after the dinosaur. "Hey there, um, Solara was it? We've been talking to Ghost over there. Um... I think she kind of feels like you're... kind of... ignoring her, I guess? Gee, that sounded a lot harsher than I thought it would... hm. I guess she feels like... you two are growing apart?" He gave Ironskull a glance, asking for help.

"Well, nice to meet you, Baaz. I'm Olivia. Can't say I've had any fancy occupation or titles, though. So you were a police dog of sorts, then? Sounds pretty interesting. I've heard they're... quite strong." She gave Lilith a cheeky grin with one eyebrow raised. "Also, good to see you're alive, Lil."

[Azunara]

Solara's expression darkened, and she hissed quietly. "It's always something. I'm always doing one thing or another that makes someone unhappy. I just can't please anyone. I'm too happy, too irritable, too distant. But I always do something that makes someone upset!" She leaped upright, lashing her tail. "At least the Dusk didn't care what I did. They were happy to have me! But everyone here is always angry!"

Dagger flinched at the espeon's outburst, also taking that as a queue to groom himself elsewhere. He flapped to his own corner, perching besides Speck, who had been friendly enough.

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull drew a picture of Solara looking angry and Ghost crying with a broken heart on her chest.

[Kamalia]

Julius backed up, his eyes wide. "Um, gee, uh, I d-didn't mean t-to upset you I um uhhh..." He pressed closer to Ironskull, frightened. "W-we only wanted to help! We didn't like s-seeing Ghost all sad!"

[Azunara]

This seemed to upset Solara more, and she hissed irritably. "See? All I do is make people more miserable!" She tried to slink away, get out of the cave.

((All of our eevees are troubled. xD))

[rubybeam]

((well I have to go for now cya all later don't bury me in pages!))

[Moonlost]

"Well," Responded Baaz, completely missing the innuendo. "I was trained primarily as a front line fighter. If there was any trouble, my unit was one of the first to be sent in. One has to possess a certian strength tobe able to work in those conditions I suppose."

He turned to look outside, concerned about what seemed to be an arguement. he was unsure whether or not to try and help out.

The hounds stopped after making some distance from the Uninfected camp. Seventeen sat down, panting heavily. Her muscle spasms were becoming less frequent as well.

"Well then," Venin sneered as she slid off the manectric's body and solidifed. "You sure ballsed this up. First you use me as a living baseball bat, then you loose Baaz? I'm surprised you didn't just roll up to the inunfected and politely asked them to take all your pack members and throw them off a cliff. I've half a mind to leave this little group, I can certainly strike better on my o-"

Seventeen lept at Venin, wrapping her teeth around the smaller pokemon and throwing her to the ground. She placed her a hind leg on Venin's belly, the claws digging into the skin. Lignting crackled around her body and she snarled.
Venin stared into Seventeen's red eyes, all she could see was primal instinct and rage. And all of her instincts told her that the beast on top of her was in charge. She cringed as much as she could, tucking her long tail between her legs and whined. Seventeen stopped growling and slowly let go of her choke hold. She stared down at Venin, teeth still bared. Slowly she moved away, still staring. Venin got the message, Seventeen was in charge. Despite her own hatred for the manectric, every single one of her base instincts wanted her to bow down before Seventeen and lick her nose in subservance. How the manectric was able to do that, she didn't know.

Seventeen looked at Gamin, who whimpered and rolled over to his back. Satisfied, she padded off, sniffing the air. Finding the scent of her alpha, she barked and began to lope in his direction. The other two got up and followed.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost had been watching as Ironskull and Julius attempted to talk to Solara, thinking to herself that maaaybe it hadn't been the best idea. She was proven right as Sol started to leave.

She got up and darted foward, zooming past Iron and Julius, and stopped in front of Solara, facing the Espeon.

((Yay troubled Eevees! .. Okay, not really XD))

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull whimpered and scratched another picture, Everyone smiling around Solara.

He then drew one with Ghost in a protective stance in front of Sol

[Kamalia]

Julius rubbed the back of his neck. "Gee, this isn't going as well as I thought it would, buddy..." He twisted his tails together unhappily, watching as Ghost intervened.

"Huh. That's pretty impressive." Olivia tipped her head to the side.

[Azunara]

Solara gave an angry growl, lashing her tail. She scowled at the picture. He may think so, but she knew that he was wrong. "Leave me alone," She said to Ghost, trying to scoot around her.

Dagger hopped over to Baaz, head tilted. "You're a Dusk." He stated simply, "But you also have control. How?"

((As one of the first Dusk, I imagine Sol retains some very Duskish traits. Like, being even more snappy and rip your face off than usual.))

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull looked teary eyed at Ghost, scratching a broken heart and the words I'm Sorry....

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Hell no." Ghost replied, again blocking Solara's way, "I'm not gonna leave you alone. Not even if you attack me." She said, grinning determindly, then glanced over at Ironskull and Julius, "Sorry for dragging the two of you into this little mess." She gave a long sigh, then turned her attention back to Solara, "Now.. How about you quit snarling? It's a little hard to talk to someone when they're acting like a rabid Mightyena."
