The posters are everywhere, 'Beings taken in the dead of the night or in broad daylight' 'Secure your children, keep everyone safe.' While the recent epidemic of abductions has been limited only to those who show the signs of a Sacred Family, all are cautioned to be on the alart. It is a warm evening as Mirana looks about, reading a poster, this one with a reward, "Something needs to be done, but where to even start looking?" she asks no one in particular. A storm brews overhead, with the promise of a rain filled night, and Mira shivers a bit, a parasal in her pack.
Bite sways down the street as she examines the posters, giggling at one as she produces a simple spark, nodding contently. Storms are no fun, but they are wet, and this makes her almost as happy as lighting her enemies on fire. She stops and looks to Mirana s she passes her on the street, giggling and smiling. "Hello there sssweetie." she hisses and waves to her, not at all subtle or quiet about her activities. She doesn't seem worried about the posters at all, although her tentacles are notpresent on her form for the time being, likely a precaution.
Angus hurried down the street to catch up with Mira as he tightened his weapons belt and threw his pack over his back. "Oh, hey Bite." He manages to force out as he skids to a stop next to his sister. "What are you doing here?" He asked in all honesty, he looked once more to the sky and it's promise of rain as he frowns, pulling up his hood. "We could start looking at the last abduction sight, it might help Mira." He shrugged, his twin tails still visible as he glances at the poster once more.
Rixo shuffles along the street at the leisurely pace of one with no destination in mind, and no business to tend to. She slows to a stop as her eyes catch the small gathering around the poster. Not wishing to intrude, she remains silent, but keeps her ears open. Maybe they'd mention something useful to her own search.
It's a lovely evening, ripe with the potential for a lovely storm. And even though he's not a huge fan of lightning, the badger does enjoy a good rainfall. Cedric is out in his everyday clothing, no suit of armor tonight, just waiting for it to rain as he takes a leisurely stroll through the streets of Firmament. He has no destination in particular; merely wandering, as he happens upon the gathering crowd with a smile, not having noticed the posters just yet. "Evening everyone." he says in a jovial tone, more sociable than his personality when encased in his usual armor.
Eyeing a nearby poster as well, Ictus looks over at the group and blinks, "Hey." he wanders over as he eyes the sky, "Just had to start raining today..." he shrugs and hmms as his tails swish, "Would be nice if they could give more information though..."
Mirana looks to Bite and hugs tightly, "Miss Bite, good to see you, very good to see you, how are you doing?" A flash of lightning foretells the storm about to begin, and makes Mira look up at the sky. "Do, you like storms as much as the ocean water?" She asks, and smiles. Then Angus arrives, followed by Cedric and Ictus. She nods, "Yes, someone should do something about this, and that is my plan. Now, any suggestions? I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear from you all first." It seems Mira is just fine now, back to her usual self, but if someone were to look closely, it is obvious that something is bothering her. SHe doesn't notice Rixo, at least not yet.
Bite giggles and returns the hug eagerly, tilting her head. "I'm fine sssweetie, taking a walk and seeing some posters." she hissse and smiles. "Not really, the ocean is the best, but storms are okay." she adds as she looks to Angus and offers a wave to them and then Cedric and Ictus, not seeing Rixo. "We could always bait them out, they couldn't take all of us if we worked together."
Angus noticed that Mira seemed a little anxious, but he didn't make a comment about it. "Sounds like a good plan. Anyone have any suggestions?" Both Ictus and Cedric recieve a nod of greeting from the fox, but when he notices Rixo he quirks an eyebrow. "Oh, hello there Miss." He smiled, giving a slight bow to the strange panada as he stands there. "What brings you here?"
Rixo tugs her own hood up, glancing at the sky for a moment before looking back to the group, smiling to Angus. "I am just looking around. I heard there were problems with abductions, and I was hoping to lend a hand. If you are planning on hunting them and would like an extra pair of hands, I would be more than happy to help." She stands up straight and dips into a polite bow of her own.
Cedric puts his waving hand down and nods. "Hrm..? Abductions?" he asks, looking around and noticing the posters. He walks over to examine them, his features going from neutral to concerned as he looks them over. "Ah... that's troubling. Yeah, I'll lend a hand if I can be of any use." he says, looking to the others. "Should probably try to find some clues... unless we already know where these beings were taken to?" the badger inquires, though he doubts that's the case, or they'd be home by now.
Ictus hmms a bit and nods at that suggestion, "Sounds like a plan... But it doesn't seem like it'll be that easy... I mean, they've been taken in broad daylight too." he looks at Bite and nods in agreement before he blinks at Rixo, "Ah, hello there." he smiles
Mirana nods to Bite, "Bait sounds like a plan, but, who and where? Any ideas on that?" she asks and looks over as Rixo comes up and her headtilts a bit, "Oh?! Who do we have here, Lady Mirana Solacious is my name." She says with a curtsey. then over to Angus and back to Ictus, "Yes, the 'bait' would have to be kept safe somehow, and, beings that can take others in broad daylight, that won't be easy." Finally to Cedric, "Yes, clues would be helpful, but, so far no one has found anything." A few sprinkles and Mira takes out her parasal, protecting her from the incoming rains.
As Bite was about to give an idea a dart flies over and into the scerpent's neck! She looks to stagger a bit, as the poisons it was coated in work quickly causing her to fall forward. Mira quickly tries to catch her and hold her up, but looks to be struggling to do so, not the most athletic fox about, as she starts looking around, head swarving from side to side.
Angus is taken by surprise when Bite is dropped by something, possibly a dart but he didn't know. "Take cover!" He manages to yell before he ducks down, looking for the nearest spot that their unknown attacker could be hiding at, not to mention a place to hide and seek shelter from the darts as he draws his Rapier.
Rixo drops down into a low stance, frowning. "Do you think it is them?" She nods at Mirana. "I am Rix, it looks like proper introductions will have to wait." Her hands wraps around the hilt of the concealed dagger, but she does not draw it yet.
Cedric gets down to the ground after the dark flies past, looking rather shocked about this! He looks around for the source of the throwing dart, but isn't quite able to spot anyone.
Ictus nods to Mira and hmms a bit, "Well, I suppose-" the Bite is struck! He unsheathes his daggers and looks around for the assailant, "Creators... What was that about?" as he takes cover with the others, searching for the dart thrower still
A bag is dropped into the square the area quickly filling up with gas! "SMOKE BOMB!" Mira shouts out and starts caughing and hacking, eyes burning. She starts to try and whip up some air math to blow it all away, but, alas, focusing on mathmagic because very diffacult when you can't breath and your eyes are watering. She just about has it figured out when she feels a sharp pain on her neck, and her world goes black. Soon, everyone feels a similar pain, the drugs quickly taking effect!
