Hey, Prey's Not Supposed to do That!

[Ratty]

Sarah blinked and stared at him.
"....A what?"

Vera went over and looked at them.
"Oooh, what's this? Little snacks?"
She said, licking her lips.

[Lifon]

Ah, so maybe they weren't human after all. Taron had been watching Sarah's mouth when she had spoken, and spotted two canine fangs, longer than the usual length of a human's. She was a vampire, most likely. And the other girl seemed to see... something. He couldn't quite figure out what, but she seemed to be able to see something he couldn't.

"Nah, I don't think they're edible," Taron said to Vera. He was personally glad they didn't seem human, as he was on the fence about murdering (or watching the murder of) a child. "That one's a vampire, I do believe," he said, pointing to Sarah. "The other, well, don't seem that normal really. 'Sides, I'd think you'd be full by now," he said with a chuckle. "Now, you ladies gonna answer my question n' whatnot? What're you doin' out here?" He wondered if they were more transdimensional travelers accidentally dumped into the woods by a portal. That would explain their presence, as well as the fact that the taller one didn't seem to know what an alp was...

[ogrefairy]

Micky just shook her head.
"I don't know where we are. Please, Sarah, can we just turn around now? I don't know to be here."
She whimpered, eying Vera fearfully.

[Ratty]

Sarah blinked again.
".............. Wait, what- how did you know...."

Vera shrugged and went over, poking them.
"So? I could save them for later..."

Sarah stared at Vera and started backing away.
"Um... yeah... never mind...... we should just go..."

[Lifon]

"How did I know you were a vampire? Yer teeth and yer eyes. Yer teeth are longer than a human's, and you can see far too well in such darkness. I'm takin' it yer an unwillin' vampire, then? If so, then you're probably lucky to be alive, accidental sirelings are few and far between. Now, ya'll seem confused. There isn't any human civilization where you just came 'from, you wouldn't have happened to accidentally run into a dimensional portal or anythin' would ya? We seem to be havin' a bit o' trouble wit 'em lately." Taron looked at Vera and chuckled. "And I'm pretty sure undead would taste pretty rotten, Vera, leave 'em be."

[Ratty]

"............ A portal?"
Sarah looked back at where they came from.
"You don't mean.... oh no."

Vera shrugged.
"I've tried undead before, it's not that bad..."

Sarah backed away some more.
".... Really creeping my out here..."

[ogrefairy]

Micky went pale.
"We didn't..... oh no.... Sarah, we have to get back!"
She whimpered then looked at Vera and backed up too, trying to stay partially behind Sarah.

[Lifon]

"C'mon Vera, ya gotta at least be civil to the other demons, unless they be uncivil towards ya first," said Toran with a shrug. "And the chances of ya'll gettin' back to where you came from via a portal are pretty slim, you're probably stuck 'ere, I'd say. Unless you can find a Planar Mage, but you'd 'ave to go on a bit of a journey for that. And if you thin creatures like me n' this penanggalan 'ere are scary, just wait till you see some o' the folks deeper into 'da demon territory."

[Ratty]

Vera sighed.
"Fine. Whatever."

Sarah blinked and hugged Micky.
"What....but... stuck? Can't.... can't we just go back the way we came?"

[ogrefairy]

Micky just hugged her back tight, terrified.

[Lifon]

"Erm... not really. There is a chance that the portal's still open n' all, but in these parts they usually close rather quickly I'm presuming (I didn't even know we had portals 'till Vera here showed up), so there might be a bit o' of a flaw in your plans there." Taron said.

[Ratty]

"...... Oh no."
Sarah hugged her tighter.
"But... what.... how do we... I mean.... we can't stay here!"

[ogrefairy]

Micky hugged her tighter back.
"W-we can't stay here. We've got to go back...."
She looked toward Taron, shakily.
"Wh-where is this?"

[Lifon]

"You're in the Delhorn woods, east o' the human city Delhorn. If you mean in a "general planar sense," then you're technically on 'earth n' whatnot, though that don't mean a whole lot given how many "earths" there seem to be. I couldn't tell ya which really 'cause, well, I don't know anything about planar magics. I take it you are not familiar with this land eh?" Taron said. It would be hard for these two in this world, Taron decided. The vampire girl seemed to wish she was still human, and the other girl barely seemed human herself, the way she almost seemed to be "seeing without seeing." If the humans here saw them, they would likely be killed, possibly on sight.

[Ratty]

"........ No we're not."
Sarah said, looking around nervously.
"We have to go back..."

[ogrefairy]

"I don't like it here..."
Micky said quietly, looking around.
"I don't want to get hurt."
She whimpered.

[Lifon]

"Hrm, how long has it been since you noticed you weren't where you were befor'? The longer it's been, the less chance the portal's still there... From the looks o' it, it should be closed by now. Ya'll got a plan for what to do if ya can't get back?" Taron asked. Well, the night had just become rather interesting. He wondered why this was happening so much lately...

[Ratty]

Sarah blinked and looked scared.
"..... No.... what.... what are we going to do?"

[ogrefairy]

Micky whimpered and hugged Sarah tighter.
"Please.. this wasn't supposed to happen."

[Lifon]

Taron shrugged. "Me n' my roommate got a place ya'll could stay, you'll be hard-pressed to find hospitality among the humans 'round 'ere. In fact, they'd probably kill ya on sight. That's how they are 'ere, they destroy what they can't understand. Oh, and my roommate could also teach you a thing or two 'bout bein' a vampire, since by your attitude I'm guessin' you're new to it, eh?" Taron directed the last sentence at Sarah.

[Ratty]

Sarah blinked again and hugged Micky tighter back.
"Uh...... What? And why would they kill us... I'm confused."

[ogrefairy]

Micky blinked.
"K-killed? Why? I mean.... even if I'm weird, I'm a human..."

[Lifon]

"First off, you're in the most danger in that department," said Toran, pointing to Sarah. "They'd know what -you- were every time you opened yer mouth, not to mention when you began feeling weak in the limbs n' need to feed. Magical creatures n' humans are in a bit o' a war, ya see. The moment they saw you were a vampire, they'd try to kill you. No questions asked. Now, that girl o'er there," He now pointed to Micky. "would actually have a chance of blending in the humans... if she acted more, well, blind. You seem to have some sort of sixth-sense sorta sight from what I see. If they found out you had somethin' like that, they'd kill you too."

[Ratty]

Sarah suddenly looked even more scared than before.
"Wh-wh-what? K-killed? No..."
She whimpered.
"We need to get out of here..."

[ogrefairy]

"B-but...."
Micky just whimpered and hugged Sarah tight.

[Lifon]

"Well, there ain't no imminent worry for ya'll. Very few creatures would think you were human, walking around in the middle of the forest at this hour, so you're probably in one of the ironically safest areas around. The human city is away's off from 'ere. Now, my other o' hospitality still stands, 'sides, we may go looking for a planar mage soon anyway. It'd be quite o' journey, but Vera 'ere..." Taron pointed towards whom he was speaking of. "...also wants to get back to 'er own dimension."

[Ratty]

Sarah hugged tight back.
"Well, good.... so we'll able to get back then?"
She glanced at Vera.
"...Wait, does that mean she'll come with us?!"

Vera grinned.
"That's right."

[ogrefairy]

Micky whimpered quietly and just kept hugging her.

[Lifon]

"Aww, that's just Vera, don't mind 'er! Sure, she's a little... how to put it... completely psycho, but she's alright," said Taron with a shrug. "She really ain't all that scary when you get to know 'er. Ok so that's a lie she is, but you get used to it. Now, she ain't gonna eat ya'll, so you in? Don't exactly got too many options 'ere."

[Ratty]

"....."
Sarah looked at Micky.
".... What do you think? Should we... or.... I don't know."
