[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!))

Exactly. It makes them angry, and it makes them stupid.

And hostility makes it worse.

The fear reminds them of their mortality.

Fear makes them angry.

But they can do nothing against me.

You don't know that for sure.

There are no guns. Their powers are weakened, yet I remain unaltered! They are as the humans of my world, before they made guns.

[Well, there are certainly hand guns and smaller firearms, but nothing along the lines of a handheld cannon like what Eboshi carries.]

[...He cannot possibly come up with a rebuttal to that. Maybe it's the general frustration. Maybe it's the fact that he has a freaking Ekans bite. Regardless, he looks at Moro with some sort of futile half hearted frustration.]

I have made my intentions clear, as with the consequences.

Those consequences cause problems for everyone in the village.

And you believe those problems would be dissolved if I let untrustworthy humans into my forest?

They might be relieved on all accounts if you barked before biting.

If I intended to kill them outright, I would have done so. I let many escape after only taking hands or arms.

Which makes them angry. Which makes them distrust everyone and consider your cause nothing but opposition.

They will stay in human territory because that is where they belong. Those whose scents are familiar can do as they wish, as they have done - they know how to respect the forest. Surely they see the blood on the ground - only fools march in regardless.

They'll go in anyway to try their best to survive. Do you even know the difference between these strangers and regular newcomers?

I know the scents of all who were here before.

[Moro. Moro that's creepy.]

For someone who keeps going on and on about how humans think too much, you really don't take that fact into account.

I suppose I can't understand anything that would risk death when it is made very clear to them.

[He opens his mouth to speak, but- god dammit. Give him a moment, he needs a moment to wince at the stupid bite from that stupid Ekans that stupid Rocket Grunt had-]

And they cause you such harm?

[A chuckle. Come on, you could easily solve your problem just by killing all of the problem people! Still, she knows that won't go over at all, especially not with a stubborn child like Silver.]

Tend to that. Don't be a stubborn fool, you will be too much like me.

...I did. [There's not much else he can do.] This was thanks to something personal.

So you did attempt to solve the problem! Perhaps with more of a bite, you wouldn't have been bitten.

It wasn't that. People interfered.

You should have disciplined them, then.

I taught you how to bite. Why did you not use the fangs I gave you?
