[Action - Whole Event]

[biteoffherhead]

[From the moment that the newcomers entered the village, coming from the South when she was towards the North, Moro showed many more signs of severe territoriality. The trees have layers of bark clawed into, pawprints are stomped into the ground, fur is shed, and various gory or gruesome little marks all around the village.

Moro herself is persistently circling the whole village, firmly policing who is going in and out. It takes her a long time to go around, as she walks carefully to try and not miss anything, but where she does catch someone, she leaves them be only if she recognize them as Lucetian. Any newbies may have a little issue, but if you can convince Moro that you're really from Luceti, it'll be easy to leave.


But Lucetians will note that Moro is incredibly violent and aggressive towards the visitors. She snaps at them long before speaking to them, chases them until they retreat into the village, and some come so close that they come back with ripped shirts, some torn out feathers, and one hell of an adrenaline rush.

As the power goes out, some undoubtedly attempt to cut the trees for firewood... and those do get more seriously attacked. Or don't come back - perhaps they make it deeper into the woods, but it's also likely that Moro kills and possibly eats them. But never a Lucetian - she leads them to dry, dead wood, so that the trees are spared.

She was behaving so well! Feel free to come and ask her what's got her so murderous, catch her in the act of attacking some hapless newcomer trying to cut wood, or if your character only just came to Luceti recently, get mistaken for a newcomer.]

((OOC: Specify date in your subject header; she'll be active from the 26th to the 31st. Here is a permissions post if you decide a fight might happen!))

[Action - 27th]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle has been going around town, trying to heal anyone that might need her assistance. Be it refugees that had come with injuries, or anyone involved in any fights between the Kin'Corans or Lucetians. Estelle doesn't discriminate when it comes to healing people.

She's near the edge of town when she hears screams, and comes running. She pauses and looks on in horror as she witnesses Moro attacking one of the refugees.]

Oh! Oh, no! Please stop!

[She doesn't know Moro, as she's only been here a couple months. Neither does she understand what's going on, but here she comes anyway. The girl is armed with a sword, but she has yet to draw it. She would like to avoid fighting if at all possible.]

[biteoffherhead]

[With there still being fairly sufficient electricity, Moro is chasing out the newcomers, snapping at them angrily. And Moro has come to know Estelle's scent, if faintly, so she ignores Estelle's plea in favor of charing past her to pursue the fleeing newcomer.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle is nearly knocked over as Moro and the newcomer tear past her. Eyes wide, she follows after them up until the point the refugee is chased back into the village. She stops several feet behind the huge... monster? Unsure and confused, wondering why she had been ignored. But this creature has wings like herself.]

Why are you doing this?

[Action, Day 1]

[windandrain]

[A few hours after the the Malnosso kick up the power dampening field, Moro may find Saori collapsed in the forest. She's completely unable to walk, and barely has the energy to manage to crawl. She hadn't had time to fully recover from the ritual she'd performed the week before, and sealing Apep's power within Helios and it's taken a massive toll on her. She's lucky to even be conscious.

To Moro, Saori appears as something entirely different, the illusion of humanity lifted for the wolf god's eyes. A few yards away is her journal, and there are long clawmarks in the dirt where she's tried her best to keep going. Either way, a collapsed human woman was a tempting target for any refugee who happened across her and decided she had something he wanted. Clearly there was nothing she could do to defend herself, and not far off there were a couple of particularly bold looking men, heading her way...]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro doesn't have to do much but approach and hover over Saori and send dark growls at the newcomers to dissuade them from advancing. Moro was not quite fond of Saori, but as a fellow god, there was an innate respect. And this was not a safe place. Moro scooped Saori into her jaws, and carried her off, a fair enough distance.]

[windandrain]

[When she feels the ground escaping her grasp, Saori's eyes flicker open and shift. She was inside...jaws. And there was only one creature large enough to lift her so easily...]

M...M..moro...?

[Action, Day 1]

[savedtheworld]

[On the first day, not long before the newcomers arrive, Aang is sent into the forest to seek out an audience with Moro. It seems that those organizing the hunting parties have anticipated trouble with Moro. Being the Avatar, it's up to Aang to try and straighten things out. He walks cautiously, but he doesn't call out for her; he knows she'll be find him herself.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro seems fairly calm, though any newcomers may have reported a crazed and murderous wolf stalking them, gnashing her teeth at them. She catches Aang's scent, and even glances at him briefly, but does not stop to speak with him. Apparently, she has no qualms with him, at least.]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang has yet to catch a glimpse of the wolf, but it's been some time already, so Aang decides to test if she is near by nervously calling out.]

Excuse me, Moro? Are you here?

[action, day 1]

[entaiho]

[The power dampening has left Enki trapped in kirin form, his shirei sealed, and unable to fly. As such, he's decided it would be best for him to get out of the village— as far as he can get, and as quickly as he can move. And so he'll just be trotting through the forest heading north and west toward where most do not go, though moving a bit slower than he normally would.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro does not go far from the village, so she catches sight of him before he reaches the depths of the forest. She pauses, watching him and beholding his form, staying calm and interested.]

[entaiho]

[It isn't long at all after she notices him that Enki halts, one forehoof still poised to step, as he glances around himself with nostrils flared and ears pricked in cautious curiosity. Though he remembers the wolf guardian from his previous time in Luceti, he hasn't spoken to her since returning... and if what he caught scent of isn't Moro, he most certainly needs to be wary, especially in this condition.

He says nothing, though, waiting poised just on the edge of movement, trying to determine if flight is necessary.]

[Day 3 - 28th]

[merelychewed]

[So those foolish humans don't know when to listen to rumor and simply leave the trees alone. You'd think reports of a giant wolf attacking people would be enough to convince them they don't really need firewood that badly...

But with all the indoors spots with electricity well-settled and crowded by now, those left have to do something for warmth during the night, right?

Lucky for the handful of refugees fleeing through the forest from Moro's wrath this time around, there's something just as big and toothy as she is flying around. He's only out patrolling from the air, trying to get a good idea of what's up now that he's encountered strangers in even his own mountainous territory. Humans running and yelling don't fail to gain some note.

Interesting...

Draco banks his wings to turn back around in a tight circle and take a second look at that. What in the world is going on down there?]

[biteoffherhead]

[He'll see Moro appear, tearing through the forest and in hot pursuit of the less than intelligent humans. It's clear - she's not intending to chase them out, she is clearly running them down and will kill them.

She makes it to one of them, jaws crunching down and cutting off an arm. The human passes out immediately from the shock, and she tears off after the other fleeing humans.]

[merelychewed]

[Just what he needed today. Having to choose between some refugees and a kindred - albeit very angry - spirit. There's no time to dwell on it, however, and his choice is made obvious when he swoops down to foil Moro's chase.

He goes for an air-to-ground tackle. Not a high-speed one, thankfully, as he doesn't really care to injure her. Hopefully that'll give the second man enough time to clear the forest, since he's hard to ignore even if he does miss!]

Enough!

30th

[tsuntrader]

[You know, this week was enough. The situation itself was enough. Dealing with his dad was enough. Dealing with trainers from home was enough. Dealing with Team Rocket was enough. Dealing with people here stopping him from dealing with Team Rocket was more than enough.

And now this? You've gotta be kidding. He strolls his way over to Moro, hands in pockets, Feraligatr by his side. Considering that the people Moro was snarling and snapping at began to run away before coming within fifty feet of the forest's border, he's assuming that they're "the lucky ones".

In the meantime, he tentatively approaches her. Not too close to turn around, not too far to get her attention. What's gotten into you, Moro? They didn't do anything to you, did they?]

[biteoffherhead]

[They learned fairly quickly! There is undoubtedly some blood caked on the fur around her mouth, though whether that is human blood or if she's fed recently, it's hard to say.

She does detect Silver's presence, turning her head to growl at him, though it's clearly not with the same malice.]

[tsuntrader]

...Is it our visitors? [That have her so worked up like this. It's the first thing to come to mind, especially since it rings true to him.]

[Action - 28th]

[screw_fate]

[Neji is out doing some very careful hunting; he's been at it since the limited supplies were announced, being selective with the prey he takes to avoid females and young, and to strike with an absolute minimum of pain or cruelty to his targets.

Now, though, he's got a Kin'coran tagging along with him; a girl who looks like she's about ten years old. Going to take objection to the newcomer?]

[biteoffherhead]

[Yes, she is! She blocks the path, growling darkly.]

Leave her in human territory.

[screw_fate]

[The girl shrinks back behind Neji, but he stands firm, although he deliberately does not make any aggressive moves.]

She is a child of my blood, and under my protection. I would not abandon her, particularly when the village is not entirely safe.

[Action - 27th]

[gomugomunopwn]

[Luffy was coming to the forest just to pay Moro a visit to see how things have been going since the black out, but what he soon finds is a small number of Kin'Corans fleeing from something, and screaming at the top of their lungs.]

O-oi! Guys what's going on why are you-- [And somewhere far off he can see Moro chasing down a small group of them who had somehow ran off in a different direction from the others in panic.] MORO!? MORO WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STOP!

[Argh, what is he thinking. She's not going to listen (on the off chance that she does and stops chasing them he will just simply talk to her though). So he decides to take action instead. His abilities are nearly non-existent right now, but he can still run. And just in the nick of time when one of the Kin'Corans were giving out of breath and were inches from Moro's jaws, Luffy intervenes and tackles the man out of the way. Leaving her to snap at air.]

[biteoffherhead]

[Moro is not quite as nimble as her pups, who can turn on a dime. She has a lot of mass and momentum propelling her forward, which she has to stop. She skids and slows, nearly halting her speed altogether. With a mighty bound, she leaps after Luffy and the Kin'corran. Unlike Luffy, Moro's strength came from what she was on a biological level... and wasn't affected pretty much at all by the power cap. It really makes her the most terrifying force in Luceti, at the moment.

But she doesn't charge with jaws open, so at least there is that, that bodes well.]

[wannabolt]

[What if nonhumans venture into the forest? By the looks of it, a couple of pegasus ponies along with a Charizard are raring to explore, and Dash has been left with the task of keeping them out of trouble.

So far, they... haven't exactly been paying attention, as thhey're marching straight into Moro's turf, unafraid of any danger.]

Guys, come on! I'm telling you, there really is a giant wolf in there!

[The Charizard snorts and swoops right over her.]

Then I want to see it myself. Are you guys with me?

[The ponies nod and give various shouts of affirmation. Dash promptly brings a hoof to her face and groans.

And wouldn't you know? They enter right in the middle of one of those attacks, each of them staring wide-eyed in horror.]

What the hay is going on?!

[biteoffherhead]

[This poor Kin'Coran that Moro is in hot pursuit of is normally extremely powerful, skilled with magic. But with a 90% power cap... let's just say that everyone is reminded of precisely why Moro is a god.

Out of instinct, the mage-like fellow attempts to defend himself with a flash of fire, which scorches Moro's nose, and there's a sickening crunch as Moro's jaws close. Instantly, the man's hand is completely gone - honestly, he got off just fine.]
