[Euri isn't entirely sure what happened. One moment she was out in the forest, gathering some herbs for another batch of potions for her mother. She had managed to climb up one of the smaller giant mushrooms in other to gather some rare hanging dragon's breath, when everything suddenly changed. That mushroom changed into a metal street light, and all the trees had become huge, ugly brick buildings. From green to... greys and browns.

With a squeak of surprise she lets go of the street light, landing very unceremoniously onto the sidewalk and the contents of her basket ending up scattered all over. The only not completely terrible thing about her change in situations is that it's late evening and the street looks empty, so it seems no one saw any of that.

Several choice swears later Euri is pushing herself to her feet, glancing about thoroughly confused. What the fuck? She stays a deer in headlights for several minutes before she decides to do the first thing that comes to mind, and that is awkwardly moving to gather up her basket and its spilled contents.]

[...sob she should probably start paying attention ;A; Because across the street there is a group of three or four people, murmuring amongst themselves and watching her. They're... decently big, in heavy jackets with odd hairstyles... and they don't move any closer for the moment]

[occulthymns]

[Maybe if she wasn't so distraught ;; but getting no help from Ran's friend - not just that, but him not even knowing what she was talking about....

Euri can't standd it. She just wants to go home and have dinner with her mother and play fetch with Dog and this isn't fair.]

[cachinnate]

[Well then... aughalksdjfls eventually one of them comes on over and leans on the corner of the building, leering at her. The voice is... husky but relatively feminine? And the person in question is fairly androgynous, wavy hair slicked back tight against her head]

Hey, little girl, you look upset, huh?

[occulthymns]

[It takes a few moments for Euri to look up, but when she does she gives this new person a halfhearted glare.]

Go away.

[cachinnate]

Aww, don't be like that, girlie.

[Reaches... towards her... to grab her arm SCREECH]

[occulthymns]

[That... isn't good. Euri tenses and darts backwards, the situation starting to sink in.]

I said go away!

...LKSJDFLJ COMPLETELY SWITCHES HTML

[cachinnate]

[Steps into middle of the street to block her way out wheeze]

Can't leave a girl lookin so lonely, couldn't live with myself, y'know?

too cool for one html

[occulthymns]

[She's hesitating, at least moving away from the wall.]

I don't want your help!

[cachinnate]

[Stepping after her, and the little gang of assholes are crossing the street as well]

Why not, I ain't done you no harm.

Re: asldkfklj

[occulthymns]

[Her eyes are darting over to the ones crossing the street. Damnit, her first instinct is to paralyze them all, but is that a good idea in this city? Does she even have any other options?]

I'm warning you - all of you! Get lost!

[cachinnate]

[A D V A N C I N G]

Calm down, girl.

[lskjdfkj except before she can make a move, there's this... screech and a crash as some... huge, skelatal hand catches one of them up and chucks them off down the street]

[occulthymns]

[HOLY SHIT what was that. Euri just stands there, frozen, trying to process what she saw.]

.....

[cachinnate]

[LSKJDFKLJ WELL THEY'RE ALL... RATHER DISTRACTED NOW, scattering pointlessly because... one-by-one... they're picked off by... yes, Ran without his Glamour, just... huge and fast, all teeth and claws and this low, rasping snarl]

[But the moment he's pinned the last one and knocked them the fuck out, he's suddenly... Ran again??? And turning to look at her and smiling like all of that was quite normal!!]

You ought not to run off like that, my dear.

[occulthymns]

[Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck, that was Ran?? He definitely isn't human.....

Her simply reply is a tiny squeak and nod of her head.]

[cachinnate]

[...eyebrow raise]

Calm down, darling, we need to go.

[occulthymns]

.......

[She nods again, very slowly reaching for him.]

[cachinnate]

[Awww baby )8 Reaches back, pulling her up against him and squeezing a little... Possessively...? Kinda yeah his odd little bird from another dimension )<]

Did they hurt you, my dear?

[occulthymns]

[She's latching onto him, shaking her head.]

No.... [But she's soooo glad he's here.]

... Thank you.

[cachinnate]

[Hm... well if she's latched onto him that makes it kinda awkward to move... which they need to do... before anyone finds them surrounded by bodies LKJSDKFJ So he hums sort of comfortingly and reaches down to pluck her into his arms. Gonna carry you brosis let's go *3*]

It was no trouble, my dear.

[occulthymns]

[She's going to keep clinging, though she is turning a rather dark shade of red. Thiiis is thoroughly embarrassing even if she is grateful he showed up.]

[cachinnate]

[Moving... fairly quickly, though he's also careful not to jostle her too much as he goes]

[He's just gonna go back to that apartment, feeling rather lucky when he gets there and the police haven't come around to investigate lsjdflj apparently he did a good job hiding the body yayyy]

[But yes so... shifting her in his arms so he can get the keys and get the door, slipping inside and finally letting her down again. Petting her face a little now that they have a moment... You poor thing )8]

[occulthymns]

[When her feet are finally on the ground again she's fidgeting and looking away.]

... Sorry for running off. I was upset and not - not thinking straight!

[cachinnate]

As long as you don't do it again, my dear. [Trying to catch her chin and get her to look at him]

I was very lucky to find you in time...~

[occulthymns]

[She is looking up at him, albeit reluctantly.]

Y... yeah. This city is really dangerous.

[cachinnate]

[Smiles a little and... thumbs her lip fffff before letting go of her again]

If you don't know where you're going, my dear... it can be.
