[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!))

[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.]

[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...?

[biteoffherhead]

[Obviously, she can't talk with her mouth full. Besides, she's in a bit of a hurry - she'll want to go right back to patrolling the territory.]

Riverbank yea?

[windandrain]

[Whenever Moro stops and...lets her down, the godthing Saori offers a grateful, exhausted look]

I...t...hank you.

That's what we said!

[biteoffherhead]

[She'll possibly be comforted by the sound of rushing water.]

Live. It is not your place to die here.

[windandrain]

I...owe you. This...place...

[She balls up, clutching her legs to her chest and shivering, but comforted by the water indeed]

I've never...been so drained.

[biteoffherhead]

What has you so weakened?

[windandrain]

I...earlier...fought an evil god. I used my...power to place a seal on him. Then, the ritual you...saw. It was to anchor...me to this place. I cannot recover energy here without it.

[The water, at least, is making her steadier]

Then they...cut me off from the anchor with...whatever they did. Its there, I can feel it. But...I can't draw from it.

[biteoffherhead]

I will remember that, when I sink my fangs into the Malnosso.

Stay here. I intend to slaughter all untrustworthy humans that breach into my forest.

[windandrain]

I...will. Kill them for this. Crush them with my hands. and tear out their eyes with my teeth.

[The godthing growls, though its not too menacing given that she can barely stand, but she reaches for the journal]

I will call for help. Please...don't let...Isaac find me. Madman with red hair and...strange markings.

[biteoffherhead]

I will eat him.

[And off she goes!! Hopefully you don't mind her looking for him to rip in half, whoops.]
