Micky sighed and shrugged "I.... I guess. Okay..." She said quietly, obviously terrified.

"Alrighty then, I figure'd we'd take Vera to find one o' 'em planar mages soon, now that we got a bigger crew we'll just make it sooner. We'll probably set out tomorrow evenin', as my roommate is one of those photo-sensitive vampires. Not sure 'bout you, but he'll fry in the light. Now, jes' follow me and we'll head back to my place," said Toran, setting off once again into the dark wood.

Vera followed him.
"....." Sarah just stood there for a couple of seconds, then sighed and followed him too.

They walked through the night in a line: Taron leading the way in front, Vera close behind, and Sarah and Micky huddled close together in the back. They were quite perturbed by the situation, then again who wouldn't be? They walked together through the dark night, which was progressing rapidly into the grey dawn. Morning dew was now clinging to the plants, and Taron was beginning to feel the fatigue that comes with a hard night's work. There was a soft, comfortable breeze that blew through the trees, barely rustling the leaves.
"So, what are yer names?" asked Taron.

Soon the territory around Taron became more familiar, and he knew they were nearing the small shed he called home. He smiled when he saw it, standing up against the large oak tree just like it always was. He walked up to it, looking inside. Ravos was lying down on one of the sleeping bags, thumbing through a magazine that Taron assumed he had stolen.
"Yo, shortie, finally back eh? It's almost morning." he said, looking up his magazine. "Hey, wait, who're the two girls behind you?"
"Well, we got more accidental interdimensional travelers Ravos, I offered 'em a place to stay. The taller one's a vampire, the shorter one's a human with some sort of weird ability. You mind 'em stayin wit' us? I was plannin' on takin' 'em to a planar mage and gettin' back to where they came from."
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure, I don't care. The tall one's a vampire you say eh? She's kinda cute," he said with a grin.
"Leave 'er alone you shameless flirt," chuckled Taron.

Micky hugged Sarah a little tighter at the sight of Ravos, moving back a little. "Oh no..."

Sarah hugged tighter back and raised an eyebrow. ".... Um."
Vera sighed and went and sat in corner.

"Well, you two can either share my sleeping bag or one of you can use it and we could get the other some leaves or somethin' to soften the ground. Ya'll can go to sleep whenever, just know that we're leavin' as soon as evenin' comes 'round. Now, ya'll got any questions about this world, its creatures, us?" Taron said, taking the jug in his left hand and cracking it open to take a sip.

"No one.... is going to hurt us.... right?" Micky asked quietly.

Sarah just sighed and looked around.
Vera grinned. "I might."

"Nobody in this 'ere room, I can tell ya that. Other than that, admittedly maybe," said Taron with a shrug. "Ravos o'er there is my vampire friend, the one I was tellin' ya 'bout. He's a pretty alright guy, if you don't mind sarcasm and in Sarah's case possibly occasional flirting. It's all in good fun though, he ain't gonna hurt ya'll. And me? Heh, I only torture dreams, and I've had enough of that for one night. Vera would probably hurt yah though if you got on her nerves, so I suggest you don't. 'Cause I don't know if I could stop her if she was dead-set on eatin' ya."

Micky whimpered and hugged Sarah tighter, near tears. "Please... I just want to go home. I finally had a home. I don't want to get hurt anymore."

"...." Vera laughed. "Ooh, I like her. She's funny."
Sarah sighed and hugged tighter back. "Micky.... please calm down.... We'll be okay."

Taron sighed, walking over to Micky and placing a hand on her shoulder and closing his eyes in brief concentration. He tried to send soothing, calming messages through her with his hat, since she was obviously in quite a bad state of mind. Her mind was in quite a chaotic state right now, he did his best to create some serenity. Ravos said nothing, simply staring at the girls questiongly. He had trouble understanding emotions.
"Alright, there ya go... you feelin' any better now?" Taron asked, removing his hand and opening his eyes.

Micky flinched away from him. She was more calmed down but now she was just uncomfortable. She could see the energy when he passed it into her and that always freaked her out. "Please don't dot hat again...."

"It's one of my talents as an alp. My tarnkappe (or my "hat" as you would call it) allows me to do several different things. Among those, I have the ability to manipulate minds. Usually I just use it to haunt dreams, but it's a multipurpose function I 'spose. I was just tryin' to soothe her mind, but it's rather resistant to my efforts in its current state," Taron explained, taking another sip of milk.

Taron shrugged. "Alrighty. Well, I tried." He downed the last drop of milk from the jug, throwing it in a box in which they kept their trash. "'Ey, Ravos, you got any idea why people are gettin' randomly sucked into our dimension so much lately?
"I do not know, nor do I care," Ravos said with a shrug, tossing his magazine aside. "You got the paper?"
"I do, I do," said Taron, taking the item in question out of his pocket and handing it to Ravos. The newspaper crackled as Ravos unfolded it and took a look. He began sifting through the pages, looking for anything that actually pertained to them. Taron saw his eyebrows raise and a surprised look come upon his friend's face. "Hey, Taron, check this out," he said, beckoning Taron over.
"Government office attacked by unidentified shadowy beast... fourteen dead, eight injured... How is that possible? No lone demon could get through the defense's they have on those sorts of buildings... And unidentified? Don't they have files on just about every one of us now?" Taron said, squinting at the picture of the wreckage of the office.
"They do... I wonder what it was... Oh well, if it's not attacking us, then I guess it's not really my problem. Thanks for the paper Taron," he said, placing it with all the other papers which they tended to store.

Sarah sighed and just kept hugging.
Vera blinked and shrugged. "Well what if it's some other thing that got to this place through a portal?"
