Varian padded through the forest. She had been travelling for awhile, just enjoying her freedom and chasing interesting smells. Just a few months ago she had been surrounded by the bonds of family and duty, but now she could go anywhere she liked! Tonight's enticing scent was salmon...and it was coming from just a little to the east. She quickened her pace in anticipation.

After a while of waiting, Rolf's stomach growled in hunger. It was the time of the year when salmon went upstream so Rolf went down to the stream near his home for a meal. He caught a big one and roasted it over a fire. Rolf noticed Varian running towards the stream. He had never seen such a wierd cat creature before. As she got closer he panicked and jumped into the stream with the salmon in his mouth. As he got up he saw Varian staring at him. He, in an embarrased tone of voice said, "Care for a bite"?

Varian stared at the ragetty looking human creature in the water. Maybe not human, he didn't smell quite right, but he looked humanish. He seemed quite interesting, what with the contrast of his small stature with the numerous weapons he was carrying, and the strange red markings on his skin. The large salmon he was holding was even more interesting.
"Why, I believe I would."

Rolf paused for a second and ripped the salmon in half. He gave the bigger half to the cat creature and began to circle her. He stopped because he was afraid he might seem suspicous. But thoughts went through his head.
"What is this creature? Is she friendly? Is she just acting kind to lull me into a false sense of security so that she can kill me quickly?"
He couldn't bear the thoughts much longer and began to ask her some questions.
"What species are you and are you going to kill me?"
He realized how stupid that sounded and his faced turned completley red. Before she could say a word he jumped back and replied:
"I'm sorry about that, I haven't spoken to anyone in years. Believe it or not I'm about 200 or so. Its hard to keep track."

"I don't mind. Questions are natural. I'm a Felidae Demon of the Bloody Tooth Clan. My name is Varian Hookclaw, but you can call me Var. I'm not interested in killing you or anyone else at the moment.
"What are you? Are you human? You look pretty young for a 200-year-old. Do you live nearby? Are there more fish?"

With a sigh of relief, Rolf answered
"Well Var, I don't know what I am actually since... *sigh* my body was stolen. I don't know who did it though but I know someone did. My name is Rolf by the way. I'm stuck in this body and it wont ever age. Life is almost meaningless in my body. I'd rather not talk about this right now. As for salmon, I have a lot of it in my house. Its that tree over there, I've dug a huge basement so its bigger than it looks. To keep the fish from rotting I've made sort of a second basement thats deeper underground and filled with ice. You can come in if you want."
Rolf leaded Varian inside.

" Zolah was walking through the woods, she stooped for a second just to look at her sleeves. they where dirty and aged, has it been that long ago? what happened with the Zolah Castle? even her cane and claw had lost its sparkle. she sighed, this wasnt what she wanted, she wanted to build up a strong home once again and ofcourse feed.. feeling the salty liquid from humanoids, hearing them give up their last breath.. No! she couldnt think like that! master always told her to not kill the prey, just make them used to be cattle and later on get control over them! never let the beast take over! she shook her head, feeling a bit dizzy. but suddenly she could swear she heard something? or was it just her hunger that fooled her? even a dirty rat or a reptile would make her hunger go away. she looked up tring to fixate her eyes so she would atleast get a glimpse of what was before her - everything was just foggy. she opened her mouth and a voice comes out ' anyone there....' she didnt even recognise her voice anymore, was her shape that bad? "
( she looks somewhat like someone that have severe anorexia )

Varian inspected her new friend Rolf's house while he fetched some fish from the basement. It was quite a snug little place. The ground floor was just a hollow tree trunk, but he had dug a cave underneath it which appeared to be where he actually lived. There was a second cave that was used as a pantry. There was a facinating assortment of weapons lining the shelves in the living area, as well as a table, cushions, pillows and a bed made of dried grass. She sniffed at the large bomb displayed on the center shelf....hopefully it was safe.
As Rolf emerged from the pantry carrying an assortment of frozen fish, Varian perked up her ears.
"Did you hear something?" she said.

Rolf sat the fish down on the table and said "I'm going to go see what made that sound. I'll be back soon.". Varian nodded and began to eat her meal. He looked around outside to see what made the noise. He saw what appeared to be a starving creature passed out on the ground. On closer inspection he realized it was a vampire. He didn't like to see death so he knew he had to do something.
He went back inside and rooted through his healing supplies. He managed to find a bottle of human blood (which of course, he had in case someone was dieing of blood loss) that he had taken from the demon market.
Varian wondered what all the commotion was about and asked Rolf what he was doing. Rolf was in a hurry and responded with only one word. "emergency."
He set the blood beside the vampire and (after pausing a moment) sat down by the door waiting.

Scare hummed a happy little tune to herself as she walked carefully through the woods, thinking on why the devil she had left the last forest. Perhaps her time in this world was limited as that of the strange human creatures that flitted in and out of existance like mayflies... And perhaps not.
There was a group of people near by... A vampire, a catlike demon and... Something else. Better to not ponder on it... For now... Well, might as well go see them! No. They have f-f-f-ff-FIRE! She shuddered at the very thought of the blazing heat and scortching light... Leave them alone. For now.
She stared up at the shadowy forest canopy, contemplating on the cure for the comman cold that so assailed so many she had known... When it came to her. The very instant she tripped over a protruding treeroot, and practically cartwheeled, spiderlike, straight for them, introducing the surrounding foliage to quite the number of colourfull new words.

Biting back a giggle, Aislinn watched the commotion below her. This is almost worth waking up from my nap. They look pretty nice, and they do have food. Maybe they'll give me some. This last thought made her grin and stretch her wings out.
Hopping off the tree branch she'd been dozing in, Aislinn straightened her dusty shirt and attempted unsuccessfully to comb her tangled brown hair with her fingers.
"Good as it gets." she mumbled, and walked towards the group.
(OOC: this is my first time RPing, so if I do something to tick anyone off, please tell me and I'll fix it/stop it/improve, whatever)

Varian looked over the vampire girl with interest. She certainly looked much better now than she had a few moments ago. Almost like watching a dried up plant regain life in fast motion. This certainly was much more intersting than prowling through the forest alone!
She was just about to address the vampire girl, when she heard a crackling sound coming from the bush. Her head whipped around and her tail fluffed out as she faced the source of the noise, now tumbling into the clearing in front of Rolf's house. What she saw was quite different than anything she'd seen before....a raggedy looking stick figure mostly made up of arms and legs.
"Rolf, do you always attract such an assortment of creatures?" she asked, her tail whipping back and forth.
OOC: Lazukas, I wrote this while you were posting. I'll notice you next if someone else doesn't do it first.

OOC: Lazukas, you should post your character in "post your character 2" just so we know a little more about her. Don't worry, it's not a big deal, you did a good job describing Aislinn in your post, but if you can provide background/description of powers/appearence it would be great!

Dorphin was hunting. The inky bulk of his Devourer form took up an unnatural amount of space in the forest, and he crushed plants and trees in his way without a second thought. He was on the trail of honey - the large deer he had caught earlier lay heavily on his gut and he felt like dessert. He was soon rewarded, discovering a old, dead tree practically vibrating with bee activity.
Grinning, the demon flipped his thick lip up over his sensitive nose to protect it from stings before tearing into the tree, consuming sweet honey and the sharp tang of bees with equal relish.
And so he didn't see - or rather smell - that he was uncomfortabley close to a large gathering of strange folks until he'd sat back to wash honey and stingers from his claws.
Who were these people? Curiosity was a new thing to him, so he was obliged to indulge it. Snagging the last bee from the air, his bulk shifted into the strange humanoid form he was beginning to grow accustomed to, and he sauntered to where he could see all of them before leaning casually against a tree, grinning toothily and taking in the sight. Or rather smell. He adjusted his dark sunglasses over his empty eye sockets absently.

Rolf replied to Varian "What? N-no! Why is all this happening so suddenly? I don't trust this." Rolf handed Varian a weapon. (Its an axe with a knife concealed in the handle) "If they attack we will be ready." Rolf entered a fighting position and pulled out his best weapon. (a small metal stick with 5 kukri knives attached to it by chains.)
OOC:All of Rolfs weapons are hybrids of real ones. I tend to describe the weapons Rolf uses since they don't have names.

Coughing painfully, Scare pulled herself upright, managing it without getting her legs tangled together again... Wonders never ceased! She stood upright, but slouched as she knew she had attracted some unwanted attention. She grinned sheepishly at the cat-creature and the pale child, as well at the vampire, and half choked, half pretend laughed... "Er... Hi?"

Varian was alarmed by the extremely paranoid reactions of the vampire girl and Rolf....at least the long-leggety newcomer seemed friendly. She had spent the last month alone, and now she was innundated with creatures!
"Calm down everyone!" she said, making her voice as authoritative as she could. "We are all friends here, no one wants to kill anyone." She paused and looked around....was anyone else about to pop into the picture?

“No one wants to kill anyone one?” Valerian thought to himself. “Clearly here is someone who doesn’t understand the true nature of the universe.”
The negative fairy fluttered around largely unnoticed above the scene watching the activity along content for the moment to be an observer. Valerian figured that any chance meeting had a 50% chance of exploding into violence and he wasn’t sure that this particular one was in the clear yet. Assuming they killed each other Valerian wasn’t above rummaging through there stuff. If they didn’t kill each other, well then Valerian might introduce himself if it suited his fancy.
The whimsical fairy had been flying about through the woods when he’d spotted Zolah and had fancied following her for a bit. At less then two inches tall in his tiny form and largely deep black and purple in coloring it was easy for Valerian to travel about unnoticed when he cared to. Inwardly he giggled to himself as the creatures had all stumbled over each other in their happenchance convergence. It was times like this we was happy he was glad he was fairy and watched the whole situation.
Or at least he did until he flew into a spider’s web. Valerian had been so intent on watching the group he had not really paid attention to where he was drifting towards. With a shriek he flew into the web trashing wildly. When it became clear he was stuck Valerian enlarged himself to his normal height of a little over two and a half feet tall (and growing) and crashing into the ground pulled spider silk out of his wings at a frenzied pace, quite forgetting about the group he had been spying on and just dropped into.

Stdying his nails absently (a habit that seemed to have come with this new body), Dorphin ranked those he was observing by how edible they were. He found himself sorely dissapointed. The small one was hardly a mouthful, he detested cat (it was really quite gamey), the vampire was undernourished, and the... other creature didn't seem to have much worth eating on it. The fairy (he rarely distinguished between specific types) might make a snack, but they're a notoriously tricky breed and usually too much trouble.
He lifted his head, sniffing casually as small slits in the side of his human nose opened to better taste the air. There was something else, it seemed, but not something he'd run into before. Hm, maybe that one would be worth it.

Scare leaned back nervously, and scratched the back of her hat. There was one approching from nearby, one over head, and the vampire looked like she was about to kill something. The cat-creature seemed friendly enough... But she didn't know what to make of the small child.
Wait... Unknown watcher above... Unknown creature walking slowly about... Group of seemingly random creatures all around the same f-f-ff-fire... Scare beamed. "This has the makin's of an excellent story! Huzzah!" she grinned broadly, and began writing something unseen in the air with a long, clawlike finger.

Endorphin's grin broadened. "Hmm"-ing through his teeth, he lurched forward to come into view. Well, what he couldn't eat he could play with, certainly. "A story." He seemed to be unaware how unsuited his gravely voice was to his boyish looks. "True. Not often such an odd group is drawn together. Must be a blue moon coming out tonight." He leered at the gathering, putting on his usual arrogant, aggresive airs.
