Test of Courage

[papahammer]

[You find yourself at a Japanese graveyard, an old-fashioned lantern in hand as mist starts to roll through the stones during the new moon. The only sounds you hear are those of your own breathing, the rustle of cloth, perhaps a scream or two of the pair ahead. A path filled with scares behind every corner, ghosts and demons waiting to frighten you

[...Not sure how real a shepherd's costume might get, but it was a cute alternative to being what he was day in and day out.

Dropping his lantern in favor of dealing with the squirmy and suddenly not stuffed sheep in his arms though, shepherd's crook dropping to the stones as well.]

A-ah! No...what are you...

[stainedlotus]

[Sup, bb!vamp over here is just gonna stay away from the dropped lantern.]

... Is it seriously alive?

[bloodscore]

[Aw. New kin. Temporarily. The flame went out.

laskdhglahsldhg Letting the thing down, glad he had a leash on it.]

I-I guess. It has a heartbeat and blo-blood and... [He's hurting his head trying to figure out how cotton became that.]

[stainedlotus]

...And smells.

[Wrinkles his nose a bit. He has a thing for temporarily being something not 100% human these days. See why he had to make sure he wasn't a Noah before?]

[bloodscore]

[Smells?

...

No longer distracted by sheep but in front of you now, peering up at.]

Kanda...?

[stainedlotus]

[sdfkh Taking a step back. Say hi to gold eyes, Allenpire.]

W-What?

[bloodyscore]

[It's...weird.

Reaching up to lift Kanda's upper lip. Sorry. If you're family, you get no care for personal space.]

...How...

[stainedlotus]

[DX! His bubble! Gives a slight wince and back away a bit. There's definitely fangs there.]

Ow, watch it. And hell if I know how or why this places likes to make me different races.

[bloodyscore]

[You shouldn't care about it anymore really. Not if you were truly one of his kind. Temporary then. Good. He...couldn't handle it if you went vampire. Not to mention that wouldn't have hurt.]

It's temporary. [Smiles.] There's no ping.

[stainedlotus]

[But it was sudden! And. Well, sudden!Noah transformation was painless until things went through him :|a The DR likes to mess with him too much.]

Ping...?

[bloodyscore]

Mmm...a mental ping that says one of our kind is near. Or another supernatural.

[stainedlotus]

Oh. That makes sense now.

[bloodyscore]

No pings?

[stainedlotus]

Yeah. Not the first time I've been turned into something.

[Pause.] ... Doesn't help the smell, though.

[bloodyscore]

[Looks back at the sheep.] I can't leave it here.

[Looks up at him.] Tell yourself don't breathe. You don't have to.

[stainedlotus]

... Really?
