[I hope you were enjoying a nice, peaceful day, Luceti. Normally, the natural game keeps deeper in the forest. But, as you know deer are, they started to shift their typical grounds to avoid Moro. Lately, she's been hunting a LOT pretty close to the village, since that's where the deer seem to think they're a little safer. On this day in

[Sapphire had just been chilling, for the most part, hanging out on a rooftop with Pilo.

But something that big and noisy is really hard to miss - and, of course, the natural reaction? Head towards the source! She jumps across buildings, her Pokemon flying just above her, drawing near just in tie to see -

- oh god it's that thing]

[biteoffherhead]

[Yeah. See. This thing is a murderous beast.

But she lets the other deer scatter, though she could very easily just kill all of them, and, ignoring human activity, starts collecting up the parts that happened to fly in all directions after she hit the deer, piling them with the rest of the corpse.

She wasn't going to waste a single part. ...Aside from the blood splatter all over the sides of the houses, that was someone else's problem.]

[wildfighters]

[Now see, Sapphire isn't going to begrudge any hunter their prey, but mewdamn if that blood smell isn't making her nauseous. jeeeez.

Pilo lands on the rooftop, then startles back, having sort of a "oh god where hide D:" moment in which he tries to flatten himself as much as possible. Camouflage doesn't work so well outside of the jungle, bro.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro would normally ignore the activity around her, but what is that.

Brb moving to peer over the roof.]

[wildconqueror]

[...OH JEEZ OH GOD FLEEING INTO THE AAAAAIIIR DDDD8 fuck prey instinct

And of course, as Pilo takes off in a panic, Sapphire half-jumps up to wave him back down, hissing a warning.]

Nah, Pilo, come back!! She can jump-

[...and then she realizes that she's in full sight, has a spaz moment, and ducks back down behind the other side of the roof, thoroughly freaked the hell out.]

[biteoffherhead]

[...Moro doesn't make any attempts to snap at either of them, but she briefly grimaces at Sapphire.]

...What is that?

[wildconqueror]

[...wait what is she talking about

Sapphire peeks over the edge warily, with a quick "...who, me?" sort of gesture.]

[biteoffherhead]

[No, not you, she knows what you are. You're disgusting.

No, she's watching Pilo with a curious interest, tail ever-so-slightly wagging. Interesting!]

A spirit? I have never seen such a creature...

[wildconqueror]

[Pilo is still mostly freaking the fuck ouuuuuut D8 in the air, scrambling up to a "safe distance" and trumpeting agitatedly while flying circles because what if he gets separated from Sapphire and the thing tries to eat her and DDDDDD8

and Sapphire has another spaz.]

-aah, don't even think about eatin' him! Ever!

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro snarls loudly at Sapphire.]

I eat only what the forest can afford to give! You watch your tongue, child.

[wildconqueror]

[...how did the logic leap from there to there Moro you are making no sense]

An "animal", a "Pokemon" - one or the other, take yar pick! I'm jus' sayin' that my partners are off-limits!

[biteoffherhead]

I'm more likely to crush your skull.

[She snorts, returning her gaze to Pilo. Pilo, you are fascinating.]

[wildconqueror]

I'll hold ya to that!

[>8U you heard me.

Pilo is also still freaking the fuck ouuuuuut

though now it's not "SHIT SHIT IT'S GONNA EAT ME", it's "SHIT SHIT SAPPH WHY AREN'T YOU RUNNING CAN'T WE RUN"]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro snorts at Sapphire, but... resumes staring at Pilo.]

Such a strange creature...

[wildconqueror]

[Siiiigh. Well, considering that the beastie is full and such, getting Pilo calmed the hell down is probably a good idea.]

...It's fine! Ya can come down!

[The Tropius hovers and trumpets incredulously; but after a moment he descends, swerving nervously over Moro before landing on the roof next to Sapphire, leaf-wings shifting restlessly as he edges around his Trainer to nudge her away from the Scary Monster.]

Hey, hey...

[biteoffherhead]

[...Well, her curiosity ends well enough. She steps down, returning to her kill. She scoops it up in her jaws, returning to the forest.]
