Operation Zodiac (No spots left- sorry!)

[Wildmagic_warrior]

((Let's see...
Arita and Briar are at the edge of the forest. Arita is going to show Briar her home, because he said he didn't understand her old life and the motives behind her unsocial ways.
Alec and the rabbit-girl (whose name I can't remember, sorry!) Are talking near the stone.
Days just quit, and I'm booting Scathatch for inactivity without notice. ))

Kira looked at him. "Let's see..." she said, trying to think of an answer to his question. To be honest, she couldn't really think of real uses for the rooster but she was knew that there had to be some, otherwise what was the point of having such a position? "I... can't think of anything right now but i'm confident that you are definitely useful!" she said finally. "Afterall, if there are some uses for a stupid rabbit like me there's got to be some for a smart guy like you."

((...O-kay....))

Coryn landed in the clearing. He resisted the urge to go down and keep digging here and there, becuase he liked this, shining like a penny. He glanced at the two peopl (Or animals?) chatting by the stone. Not seeing Scarlett, he took to the air again and roared an earth shatterung roar, to see if she'd reply with a howl.

((June 1 is your b-day, Terra?))

Alec stared at Kira. She called him smart. Well, he was smart, but she just went out and said it. It's not normal for people to openly admit he was smart, unless for some forsaken reason they had a crush on him. They just met, so that shouldn't be the case. Now, to be honest, his pride was on a level so high that it embarrassed him. He turned away, and unintentionally changed into a rooster. The feathers on his chest puffed up in pleasure from the bravado. "Well, everbody can use a smart guy around. Intelligence is key in any operation."

Briar skidded to a stop, having increased his speed drastically to make sure he kept up with Arita. For a moment, he thought he was going to lose her, and then this chance would sweep by him, never to come again. It was actually starting to make him gloomy, but it faded as soon as Arita was in his sights. Looking out into a dead and, from what he could see, desolate field of dry remains of what might have been a harvest. Still, it looked like it hadn't been cared for in years, and judging by the grin on Arita's face, Briar was under the impression she was rather happy about it.

"So," he started, natural curiosity kicking in, "Where are we?"

[Terra Dragon]

((Oh, indeed it is. ^^))

Arita spread her hands, indicating the dusty expanse and the crumbling, two-story house beyond. "Welcome," she said, "to my home." She snapped her arms back to sides and leaped out of the tree, landing on the ground as a tiger. She started towards the field, looking back over her shoulder and motioning with her tail for Briar to follow her. She ducked down below the weeds, rushing past the empty spaces to conceal herself on the other side of the field. She was now only a few meters from the place she hated most in the world. It was a little ironic, actually, that her adventures had taken her full circle back to this place.

((Wow, so is mine!))

Briar's eyes grew wide. "Your HOME?" What kind of home was this. Even his grandpa's house was better! Arita grabbed his attention again as she waved her tail for him to follow. He turned into a pig, uncertain if he should be trespassing... as a human. Somehow, it seemed less wrong as a pig. As quietly as possible, he walked towards the position Arita had taken.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Arita looked at him, and said in a quiet voice "Stay here as a pig, and just watch, no matter what happens. Got it?" She didn't wait for an answer, but instead got to her feet and walked to the front door of the house and knocked briskly. There was a scuffling inside, then the door was flung open. In front of the tall girl stood a woman who no more resembled her than a pudding does a carrot. The fat woman was fast, though, and strong. She gave Arita a clap about the ears and grabbed the collar of her shirt, snarling into her niece's face "Where have you been, girl? This house is falling apart!" Arita grinned. "I know. Why do you think I rejoice?" Her aunt gasped, then squealed "You cheeky wretch! I should kill you for such insolence!" Arita kept smiling. "Ah, but Aunt Miralda, if you should slay me, then who would do all the work around here? Not you, and certainly not fat little Kylerkins." Her aunt, Miralda, slapped her across the face and screeched "How dare you speak of my son that way!" She grabbed one of Arita's ears and twisted, hard. The girl tried to hold back but squealed in pain as her aunt twisted harder, then let go. "Now, lazybones, tell me, where have you been?!" "The woods." snarled Arita, and her aunt scoffed. "For three whole days? I doubt it." She drew a long, coiled whip from her sash and uncurled it, menacing Arita with it. "Now, girl, tell me. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! And no lies, now, or I'll leave another scar next to the one you've already got!" Arita backed up, her eyes full of anger and perhaps a bit of fear. "I already told you, aunt, that I have been in the woods. It is the truth, I swear it to the Guardians!" she raised the first two fingers of her left hand in the air, and placed her right hand over her heart. Her aunt eyed her suspiciously, then turned away and coiled the whip. Arita lowered her hands as the woman grabbed her arm in a painfully tight grip and shoved her inside the house, looking around warily before slamming the door.

Kira nodded, smiling. "So... where are the other zodiac people?" she asked, wantning to meet them. "There should be 10 more of us. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Dog and Pig... have you met all of them, Alec?"

Coryn landed in the clearing. He resisted the urge to go down and keep digging here and there, becuase he liked this, shining like a penny. He glanced at the two peopl (Or animals?) chatting by the stone. Not seeing Scarlett, he took to the air again and roared an earth shatterung roar, to see if she'd reply with a howl.

Padding along lightly, Scarlet made her way back to the stone, which seemed to be their sort of "headquarters". She carried a rabbit, along with a twig drooping with blackberries clamped tightly in her jaws. Sweeping her eyes around as she walked, she watched for anything that may appeal to any of the other animals. Peering upward to glance at the moon, she was a bit startled to see a shadow pass over the moon, oddly shaped and peculiar. She gazed calmly upwards for a few more moments, the hairs raising along her back in anticipation, bracing herself. A roar split the air and Scarlet relaxed; It was Coryn. Tossing her head back she howled softly, letting him know where she was headed. She ran the rest of the way to camp, partly because it just felt good, and partly because she hoped to make it easier for Coryn to find her; Though she knew he could find her anywhere. Dropping the rabbit and the sprig of blackberries on the ground, she nodded at the others present in the clearing. ((who is in the clearing at the moment?))
