What was this place?

Kieran had never before left the comforting embrace of the forest. To see the trees entirely absent, replaced by these strange, perfectly rectangular... caves? It was... disquieting. The paths were full of those peculiar two-legged creatures, casting him odd stares and jostling against him as they hurried to wherever their destination was. It was so different from the forest in every single way... a part of Kieran couldn't help but wonder if someone he had wandered right out of the mortal realm entirely. It was starting to make him nervous; he felt oddly exposed without the cover of the trees all around him.


He... he needed to get out of here. Wherever this was, he wasn't ready for it. He pushed his way out of the crowded sidewalk, bounded out into the road. His hooves scrabbled for purchase on the oddly smooth surface, but if there was one thing Kieran could do, it was run.


[OOC: I am setting aside a thread for WHUMP, CARFACE and also one for the infirmary. For the rest of the log, Kieran will be exploring this wondrous magical place called the school. Feel free to post your character anywhere -- cafeteria, dorms, in the shower -- and Kieran will just... butt on in to say hello.]

In which Falcon files a collision claim

[enduringhart]

[Kieran's haphazard sprint has now taken him just outside the school gates. Surely nothing bad can come of bolting straight down the middle of the road, right? So he's gonna continue to do that. Gotta go fast.]

[raced_god]

Surprisingly warm March days for Falcon meant long, contemplative drives through Final Destination and the surrounding highways. They were often so contemplative that the Captain zoned out entirely, his natural driving autopilot switching on. Unsafe, maybe. But it wasn't like some idiot was going to dash out in the middle of the road 500 feet from school.

Oops.

He noticed Kieran a second too late and immediately tried to swerve, completely and totally NOT EXPECTING A DEER WHY WAS THERE A DEER

OH GOD

HELP

[enduringhart]

OH DEAR HEAVENS WHAT IS THAT THING

OH MY GOD IT'S THE FASTEST THING IN THE WORLD WHAT DO

Kieran's instinct when something big, loud, and scary was coming his way, of course, was to IMMEDIATELY ABOUT FACE AND RUN FROM IT. His hooves went scrabbling on the asphalt, slipped out from under him, and before he had time to so much as react:

THUMP

That is the sound of a top-of-the-line custom F-Zero machine getting a nice deer-shaped dent in it. Kieran hit the hood, went rolling right over the Blue Falcon, and smacked back down into the pavement. I think he might have bounced once or twice.

In which Rhys will never be able to look FE!Kieran in the eye again

[enduringhart]

[OH BALLS A DEER GOT SMASHED AGAINST YOUR NICE WINDSHIELD. What do you do? Ignore it and hope it crawls away CALL THE SCHOOL NURSE.]

[gentlesaint]

Mangled deer in the streets? Ack! This won't do! Rhys hurried over as quickly as he could manage, huffing and puffing with the exertion of running across campus. He toted along as many medical supplies as he could (as well as a stretcher made of speedoes sewn together in case of transportation needs) and made it to the scene of the crime.

"Deer Dear heavens!" he exclaimed with the most worried of faces. "You poor creature! Hang on, I've just the thing!"

Heal staves were Rhys's specialty and he used them whenever someone was CRITICALLY WOUNDED. So that went first- it should repair tissue, but blood loss was going to be an issue. He bent down next to the injured Pokemon and gathered his bearings.

[enduringhart]

OH GOD THIS WAS THE WORST THING EVER. Kieran was positively wild with pain and terror and complete abject confusion. He was splayed on his side, legs twitching feebly with the instinct to run.

The appearance of another of those two-legged spirits did nothing to soothe him. If he'd been in a calmer state of mind, he might have registered that this one was speaking comforting words, but scared as he was, all he could think was that this one intended to punish him for his intrusion on the divine realm as well.

It wasn't until the heal staff came into play that things changed. It was the same nourishing, healing feeling that came from using Horn Leech, but it was all over instead of stemming in his antlers. The paralyzing agony receded, the snapped bones knit as seamlessly as if they'd never been broken, the bleeding halted entirely.

Hesitantly, Kieran righted himself, though he was still too shaken and weak from the ordeal to venture an attempt to stand. He raised his head, staring at Rhys with nothing less than utter awe. Rhys would only hear the typical poglespeak, but nonetheless, Kieran spoke.

"The gods have saved me...!"

[On this particular day, One could find a Kyogre sitting in his office with the window open, feet up on his desk. The door is open too, for all inquisitive students.]

[enduringheart]

[Someone has yet to learn the difference between windows and doors. I hope you don't mind, Kyogre, but there's some random guy peeking in through the window, examining it like he's not entirely sure if he can just haul his whole self in through it or not.]

Oh... there's a creature in here too! Hello! There sure are a lot of you here.

[oceanshaper]

[Congratulations Kieran, you managed to catch Kyogre with his guard down. He starts, the chair clattering slightly under him, and the book he's reading falls out of his hands. He picks it back up, tossing a glance over his shoulder at the shaggy haired student.]

Hm. Hello, curious new boy.

[rivalsweetscent]

[It was a perfectly good time for a snack, Bulba had decided. Getting as much sun as possible seemed to be a good idea for trying not to be the world's biggest mope, so there Bulba was. He was sprawled out in his usual spot in the gardens, back full of flower tattoos open for passerby to stare at.

Not that he was expecting very many passerby.

Whoop.]

[enduringheart]

[SURPRISE, BULBA. There is an Ominous Shadow falling over your delicious flower tats. Behold: strange boys in dire need of haircuts. Hello, Kieran. What sort of important wisdom did you feel the need to interrupt Bulba's basking with?]

You smell amazing.

[truffulatree]

[At some point. Somewhere. It didn't really matter what point or where, it was just definitely happening at a time of Celebi's own choosing. BUT AT THAT TIME. At that time there was someone buzzing near Kieran's ear, and a little chin was resting on top of his shoulder from behind.]

Lost, dear one?

[enduringheart]

You're only lost if you're somewhere you don't want to be!

[Hello, what's this? Another of these human-spirits! How very exciting! Kieran peeks down on this darling little head on his shoulder.]

You smell very much like home.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

It was early evening and someone was tracking a peculiar scent. It was sort of an amazing smell. It was deer. But it wasn't deer. And it was a plant smell. But it was more deer than anything. BUT NOT QUITE.

Jon's nose was all kinds of sensitive. He had tracked many a creature and tracked them many a place and it was very seldom nothing edible came of these hunterly excursions. He was a custom made wildlife seek-and-destroy machine of the highest calibre.

He was nosing his way through some particularly bristly hedges at this point. Oh, he was close now. His mouth was almost watering.

.....such a shame he wasn't TECHNICALLY allowed to hunt on School Property. Still. You could take the wolf out of the woods but you could hardly take the woods out of the wolf. A little stalk-and-chase wasn't going to hurt anyone. Probably.

IT BEGINS

[enduringheart]

It had been easy to get entirely caught up in his exploration of this exciting new realm. Everything was so different! Kieran was beginning to suspect that he had somehow been granted access to paradise.

The last thing he expected to encounter, then was the faint stirring scent of a hound. Kieran froze suddenly, trying to move ears that weren't actually physically capable of swivelling around, nose seeking out that horrible, chilling scent.

It was unmistakable. The hairs on the back of his neck were standing up, every sense going into overdrive. There was definitely danger near him... but where? He stayed rooted to the spot, instinct telling him to pray his natural camouflage would protect him. Never mind that he stuck out a whole lot more as a human and wasn't actually anywhere near anythnig resembling cover, surely this would work!

plz 2 b defenestrating the greenhouse

[punchtheflowers]

[With Bulba taking some much needed recovery time to himself, Vinnie really had his hands full with managing the greenhouse and the gardens. The unbelievable variety of plants there meant that each one had strange and unique needs that had to be met. Not to mention all the little jobs that used to be shared amongst the gym leader's entire team.

Counting Berries, for instance. It wasn't something he had bothered with before, but since all these bushes belonged to different people, it was important to make sure they weren't being thieved from.

So that's what he was doing, checklist in hand. All of the Cheri Berries in the greenhouse. One by one...]

time for deer.gif

[enduringhart]

[All this exploration and nearly getting eaten by wolves and meeting gods had made for a very exciting day. It was probably no great surprise, then, that Kieran was starting to get hungry. The forest was still in the lean, dormant period -- je'd long since grown used to a diet that was decidedly lacking in fresh, green things.

Imagine his surprise, then, when he managed to catch a glimpse of a veritable treasure trove of thriving green matter. It was like a sudden, heart-panging reminder of home right in its peak: the summer months, when the berries hung ripe and the sun nestled him in its life-giving embrace.

He was perhaps a little too eager to reach this wonderful green place (and those delicious-looking Cheri berries), alas. He bounded right at the greenery without a second thought, not the least bit deterred... until he PLOWED RIGHT THROUGH AN INVISIBLE WALL OH GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I hope you don't mind, Vinnie, but here is the sound of shattering glass, accompanied by 1 (one) now soundly spooked deer, who has just charged right through a greenhouse wall and is now bolting haphazardly into your lovely greenhouse like... a... spooked deer.]

[findthepenguin]

Yet again, Kanji was standing by the shadows of the Home Ec room, staring. Staring. Would he ever get up the courage to go inside? Who knows.

[enduringheart]

Good news, Kanji! You won't have to do your staring alone. There is now some weird guy with stripes on his face hanging out riiiiight next to you, also staring at the wall with silent, contemplative intensity. Finally, he turned to Kanji, that faint look of serious focus still on his face.

"...What are we looking at?"

[dothelokomotion]

Byrne, on the other hand, was in the gym, doing workout-type things. You know, manly workout things to keep himself in good shape.

Would a mysterious deer-person come and bother him while he was clearly busy working out? Who knows.

[enduringheart]

I think you will find, Byrne, that the answer to this question is always a solid "yes". No sooner does Kieran manage to bumble his way into the gym than he is filled with burning curiosity about this lovely new part of the school. Good thing there's someone already in here that he could pester relentlessly!

"Hello, spirit! What kind of place is this?"

[batchigu]

Silly deer person, then it's pretty likely to meet this silly blond person. Amitie was just in the lounge, practicing her ol' magic and popping puyos or the like. It could be noted that she smells like a bunch of flowers.

[enduringheart]

FLOWER SMELLS. Those happen to be among Kieran's very favourite smells ever. I hope it's not too weird or anything, Amitie, but there might just be a complete stranger coming up at you and... smelling you. Okay yeah, that is definitely pretty weird.

"Wow... I really like your scent!"

[electriccharge]

Watt was getting burnt out from doing homework, so she needed a break. A snack break, to be exact! So here she was, right outside of the cafeteria, right in front of a rather tall vending machine. She's currently hovering up and down to take a closer look at what was available.

[enduringheart]

Kieran had just so happened to stumble onto the area just then, and he stopped, gaping at Watt in utter awe. Brace yourself, Watt, because a strange guy is about to announce the stupidest thing ever to you:

"This really is the land of the gods... even the sun itself lives here!"
