[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!))

[This gives Estelle pause. Naturally she doesn't want the forest to die... but.]

But then what are they supposed to do? There has to be a way.

[biteoffherhead]

Let them die.

[Estelle is genuinely shocked and taken aback by the bluntness of this statement. She stands there with wide eyes for a moment before reacting.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[The girl then clutches her hands against her chest, learning forward with emphasis.]

No that won't do! Everyone has a right to live!

[biteoffherhead]

Quiet, girl. You don't know what you speak of!

Your humans cut and kill the trees and animals. Your pathetic human lives hold no greater value to me than that of the forest!

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle shakes her head, and stands her ground, whether bravely or stupidly.]

All life deserves respect. Humans, plants, and animals alike. Just as animals feed on plants and other animals to survive, so do humans.

I know it's difficult, and the Kin'Corans are not making it any easier. But please Moro, be patient. There's no need to harm them. Surely we can come to an understanding. They won't be here long.

[Hopefully.]

[biteoffherhead]

My "understanding" is simple. They are unwelcome in my territory, and will be killed for their trespass!

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle lowers her eyes and sighs.]

I see.

[So that was it then. There was no reasoning with Moro. Couldn't blame the girl for trying, but arguing seems futile at this point.]

[biteoffherhead]

Begone from my forest, then. Return to your human territory.

[Estelle gives a polite bow to Moro and proceeds back into the village. She supposes the best she can do is warn everyone about Moro's intent, and heal those who don't heed that warning. But still, it leaves her with a sick feeling.]
