Is Anyone There? - (open)

[lydia]

Lydia hated running patrols, hated having to run constantly and burn out all of her energy. It just made her tuckered out at the end of the day; and generally irritable the next morning. The slender woman was jogging through the outskirts of the city. It did not occur to her that perhaps it was strange, that particular group of scouts sending her off on her own like this, and so close to Fulsi territory but...they had insisted. (A cruel trick was what it was!) Her flats were pounding the pavement at a fair rate, but she was still far from being done, and quite far away from the safety of the Carna waterfront. Her lithe form huffed with effort, since she had never in her life been put through the things she had been through the last few months. The Carna were not an easy ring to belong to, it was full of 'crazies' in her opinion but they had accepted her without much question; and she did keep Sewertown as tidy as she could manage. She supposed in some way that she was useful to them, but she did not really know how. Her mother had always called her useless, scolding her constantly for her lack of enthusiasim when it came to finding what her mother would call 'a good, respectable husband'.

The shifter did not hold a grudge against her mother for the things she had done, only wished that there had been more of a bond between mother and child. Mei wondered if her mother ever wondered about her, or if she even knew that she was here in this glass dome. Something caught her eye then, breaking the girl away from her thoughts. She stopped mid stride, her small chest heaving as she flailed her arms to keep from going over. The Omega furrowed her brows, and tilted her head just a little, but she just couldn't tell what that shiny little thing was. It glittered there on the ground, like a toy being dangled in front of a child and Lydia's mouth twisted up into a look that said she had made up her mind. Her gaze dropped to the ground for just a moment, looking at was truly an imaginary line between the Fulsi and Fallen borders. Maybe if she was quiet, then the Fulsi wouldn't even know she had been there! Wouldn't that be a story to tell the scouts back in Sewertown, that she had gone onto enemy lines! But...but what if she were to get caught? She did a sweep of her surroundings, knowing that in all honesty if she were caught taking that shiny thing from the Fulsi that there could be big consequences. No one could miss the mark on her arm.

Lydia danced in place, much like a child who needed a bathroom, before skipping lightly forward and over that imaginary line. Her eyes darted around the place quickly, much like a nervous deer before she took another step. When Fulsi heathens did not come jumping at her from every direction, she became a little more bold; getting closer and closer to her shiny little prize. The closer she got, the more excited she became since almost half the battle was won already. The girl squatted down, wrapping one arm around her knees as the other reached out with nimble fingers to pick up her little treasure. The earring was dazzling to her, with its fake green gem glittering prettily in the sunlight that would have been utterly ridiculous to anyone else. She lifted her dark head, black bob shifting slightly as her careful eyes searched for any sign of this little treasure's partner.


ooc: open to anyone, would like a Fulsi at some point?!

Sneaking out of Fulsi Territory was going to be a challenge. Though he sort of wondered what would happen if he did get caught, he decided that he didn't want to be caught today. He still had Peyton back in the Fallen and if he were to get his ass caught, he'd be sure Peyton would be pissed off. Then again, probably trespassing in Fulsi Territory might piss him off. He wasn't really too sure. But he couldn't help it, trespassing was fun. At least, he felt that trespassing was fun. There was just something about the chance of being caught and the adrenaline rush that he got when he was spotted that always made him go back to trespassing. It gave him something to do in this large dome.

He decided to move in his shifted form, it's size making it very easy to hide in environment around him. Though he would've liked a lion shift or something like that, he enjoyed the Fennec Fox form as well. Though not the most physically dominating, it was very useful for keeping hidden from the other shifters in the Menagerie. That was useful, especially for someone like him who regularly trespassed. He also decided that he needed to practice his detection of scents. He'd pretty sure he got a good smell of what a Fulsi smelled like and he constantly sniffed the air in order to try his best to detect the Fulsi patrols.

Then, he smelled something weird. It was like that of a shifter, but not a Fulsi. Another trespasser? This could be interesting...[/color] He thought to himself as he made his way towards the scent. It was nice to see another person sometimes, and Aria knew that fully well. He wasn't a loner, he liked being with others. It sure as hell was better than being alone. He continued to follow the scent, a bit curious and excited to see who it was.

He finally stopped to what he realized was the border between the Fulsi and Fallen territories. Wait, the Fallen? Could it be Peyton? Aria thought as he made his way towards the scent. When he saw it was a woman, he was a bit disappointed. He sorta wished it was Peyton, but he didn't mind too much. It looked like she found something in the grass, which Aria couldn't help but wonder what it was.

Shifting back into human form, he walked up to her and gave her a smile. "What you doin' in Fulsi Territory? I know you aren't a Fulsi, your scent sort of gave that away. Are you trespassing? You do know this is Fulsi Territory? Right?" He asked the girl, not betraying the fact that he himself wasn't a Fulsi. He wondered how she would react. In any case, this is was going to be interesting. Or at least the hoped it was.
