[SUMMER LOVIN'] Aura Nin Mountain Climb Expedition (p10!)

[shadica]

Noirocher watched the other pae wander around quietly, he was shy and had chosen this vacation hoping there would be less people than the other trips.He fidgeted awkwardly as the fairy popped up and called him out. He shook his head at the offer of alcohol, he wasn't much of a drinker. He took the book quietly and flitted off to the side were he could hide as he read the book.

He studied it for a little bit before putting it in his bag and checking what else was inside. A old boot? Shouldn't there be two boots, one for each foot? He shrugged and put the boot back in the bag, looking at the other items. A Wussy Kit huh, clearly the leaders of this group did not think highly of them.

He was hoping that the trip would be interesting, this area had never been explored which is why he had chosen it along with the fact that a mountain hike was harder than the other two options, which meant less people. Or would it have been better to go with a bigger group where he would have an easier time hiding and going unnoticed. He really needed to work on his shyness, well a small group would work better for that right? Noir hoped that he wouldn't regret this trip.

Nicky grinned, having managed to get away from her momma and daddy long enough to go on an adventure. She'd heard about this trip from her momma. She'd been talking about some strange brochure that she'd gotten out of somewhere. The details didn't matter. What did matter to Nicky was that she got to go on a trip without her parents breathing down her neck. Maybe she'd meet some new friends, see something and have the chance to brag about it to her brother.

Nicky grinned, getting tossed a backpack. She was willing to take it at least. And then he offered her spirits? The teen grinned and nodded. It sounded neat. He pointed. She walked over to the table holding the spirits or whatever they were...

While she was walking, Nicky found a songbook? What was she going to do with this thing? Was it for something like singing? They were going to sing? That sounded like fun. Oh guardians, Momma was going to be super mad that she was out here, but it was going to be so worth it.

Starry yawned, looking over to her mate. He looked a little more winded than she was. It's not that she was really concerned about the hike. She'd never really been up in the mountains before, but she'd kept herself fit. Even in her old age.

The demon grinned, getting tossed a bag and offered spirits. While she had no idea what spirits were, she did know that smell. Ferment. Something was fermented in these glasses. Well, a drink wouldn't hurt would it?

"Want a drink Dame?" She offered, holding out a bottle for him to drink out of. "Smells strong. A lot stronger than that one potion we had the night we got pregnant with Cressy." Starry had long since figured there was something wonky with that drink. They'd gotten something in it or something had gone wrong when it'd been brewed. Either way, she was grateful for her daughter.

Sparrow was about to fly off to observe the others and look for someone to talk with with as she heard music throughout the clearing. Oh, how she loved music! Instead she turned and headed that way, forgetting her bag on the ground. Upon nearing the source, she too began to contribute to the melody with some singing of her own, the high-pitched, songbird notes harmonizing with his own.

As if to encourage others to come join, she looked over to the rest of the group for anyone else who may be interested in song, That fauny seemed to have an interest in the songbook, and that pae was singing as well. They should come join!

Wild Moon had finished going through his things and making them straight, setting his pack on his back. He glanced around, spotting someone he had seen at the tree and had heard mention of at least a couple times from the very loud purple haired faunie in the tree, so he decided he would go introduce himself. More friends never hurt... right?

Wandering over to her, he cleared his throat softly as she seemed to be lost in a book. "Excuse me..." he smiled, glancing down at the book she was reading. A book for climbing mountains... for children? She certainly didn't look like a child.... but she didn't look a climber either. Not that it was a bad thing, just surprised they had books for such endeavors. But that wasn't why he came over.

"Are you... Sweetie... Bell?" he paused, hoping he had gotten her name right. Or if this even was her. Sometimes, he wasn't sure who that purple haired faunie .... Rarity, did his mother say? ... was shouting for, but he had seen them together at least once.

Dameon smiled half-heartedly at his love, the most he could possibly muster. 'Winded' was a little kind of a word. After months at sea, his muscle had really broken down and it showed. He was working on rebuilding it, but it took time, and he had only been back for a short time. When the fae came with his stuff...aparently his out of breath was apparent. Youngers?! The gentle pae frowned and looked inside his sack. Childrens...Guide...He sighed deeply and took the drink. "Yeah, I can tell already I'm going to need it. Why'd you get the nice welcoming?" He took a long pull, seriously wondering why he had chosen a MOUNTAIN CLIMB in his state. The demonic glanced at his red haired love. Oh yeah...that's why. A smile, a warm one, slipped onto his face. A date for the two of them. Even if it was hard on him, it was worth it to spend some time with the beautiful demonic.

OOC: OMG, my roll was so fitting for poor Dame XDDD Sooooo funny.  

[Tartara Seabreeze]

It was purely on whim that the tie-dye female decided to show up, her skin starting to tighten with the kiss of cold. She was starting to get out more ever since her meeting with Criofan, and this seemed...fun...at the time. Still had potential, but she was rapidly losing interest. It was then that she was approached by the rather...cheery fae. "Oh, thanks." A bag? And spirits? Well...that certainly helped her fading excitement. Smiling now, she took a swig. Warmth instantly spread through her body and she pawed through her stuff. Nothing really...shiny however. Nothing that Criofan would take interest in anyway. But there was a songbook, and she was known to sing on occasion. And speaking of singing...that weird faun-look-a-like thing had a big musical note on his butt. An eyebrow raised as she started to move towards him. What was he anyway? She didn't really have any experience with faun, other than knowing they existed, but she had seen glimpses of them at the beach. And he didn't look like them. But never one to be shy, she stepped right up to him. "Hey! You got the same book as me." She pulled out her book, flashing a grin. "How boring. I wonder if other pae got different stuff."

OOC: EDIT: Done!
BIC: Oh this was exhilerating! The cool air, the great outdoors, the fresh smell...and the heights! She hadn't really explored the mountains before and was more than happy to be on this trip. The female grinned broadly at the fae. "Oh thank you! This is so exciting!" Even though there were so many different...types of pae. Including fae. But at least fae were better than some other types of fae. She took the items excitedly but simply sniffed the spirits. It wasn't that she was a prude...exactly...but alcohol? The female tipped the bottle back with her tongue on the opening to just get the smallest of drops into her mouth. Quickly it came back down as her face twisted in disgust. Foul stuff. Who'd ever want to drink that for FUN? Torture maybe. Not fun.

Grumbling and holding back from the rest of the Pae, a dark demon stood back from the rest, bundled in multiple layers of warm finery, including a plush-lined stole, and a thick cashmere scarf. Normally, she would have chosen the island cruise to bask in the warm sun for a pleasant getaway. But...she assumed that many other Pae'il would have the same thought, and for her, the thought of being trapped on a ship (no matter how big) with any number of Pae'il for any length of time was intolerable. Maybe if there had been no other Pae allowed, then...paradise.

So, while it wasn't the best arrangement, she had figured that if she wore enough layers to protect herself from the despicable coldness, she could tolerate it for the sake of a solitary getaway, removed from others and in a nice, remote location, never explored by other Pae'il...

She was not happy to see all these others here. Suddenly, sacrificing warmth for solitude wasn't working out for her, and now she was going to be cold AND surrounded by raucous idiots.

Wonderful.

She glared down at the bag she'd been given when she'd arrived, as if it was the object's fault for all of this. She'd been offered a drink as well, but she'd turned up her nose and shoved the hairy little Solamir away with a muted, "...ew," at the time. Now, she looked around, catching the eye of one of the bearded Fairies and slipping one hand from beneath her warm layers of clothing to beckon. "You. Those drinks, I'll take one now."

When the bearded fairy guffawed and returned to shove the mug into her hand, she tipped it all the way back, letting the faux warmth fill her. She was going to need that.

Sweetie wasn't sure if she was going to be cut out for this hike up the mountain, but at least the book that had come in her pack was giving her some helpful hints! That was definitely a good thing. She blinked and looked up as someone spoke to her. "Huh? Oh! Yeah, that's me," she said and smiled, her cheeks coloring lightly when she noticed it was a boy speaking to her. He looked familiar, like she'd seen him in the tree somewhere, but she couldn't think of his name, or if she ever even knew it. "I'm sorry, but, uh, what's your name?" she asked.

Having looked through everything in her pack, including the 'Wussy Kit', Ruze shrugged the backpack on and started just wandering around. She figured she'd get a peek at who she'd be climbing with, maybe she could find a good partner. There seemed to be a lot of younger pae, teens who thought they could climb the mountain. She just hoped she didn't get shown up by one of these brats. She snorted quietly to herself and kept walking, coming across a fairly colorful angel pae with purple hair. He was kinda cute... "Hey, you think you'll be any good at this mountain climbing thing?" she asked him. Tizzy, her rainbow boa wild soul, curled around her shoulders and lifted her head to peek at the one her bonded was talking to.

The dark patterned faun smiled and ran his fingers through his hair with a short laugh. "Sorry. I'm Wild Moon..... Princess Luna's son." he added softly, not sure yet how he felt about saying something like that. He wasn't sure how others would re-act to it, besides his Aunt spoiling him with cookies that is. He wasn't sure if she knew exactly who Adviser Mo was either so he offered the name of his parent she might be more familiar with. Though maybe if He had said Stallion Justmo....

"I don't mean to bother you." he said softly, lookin down at his hooves before back at her, noting the small amount of color in her cheeks. Had he done that? He hoped she wasn't angry. "Your just... one of the few I recognize around here...from the tree I mean." he began, deciding not to add 'also near my age' to it. "I thought maybe I'd come ... uh... well, ya know. Say hi." he said, feeling a bit shy himself as he offered a smile and another laugh. Man he probably looked mega silly.

Noir was just starting to relax, maybe this trip wouldn't be so bad, when suddenly it happed. Someone spoke to him. The angel pae shuffled his feathers awkwardly and fidgeted as he tried to figure out what to say, what to do. The fact that the pae who was talking to him was a pretty female did not help his crushing shyness at all. "ah ah I I I gu guess so?" He stuttered softly, glad his dark colors would hid the red tint that was surely starting to cross his face. He stared at the snake that was wrapped around the other pae's should for a moment before shifting his gaze to the ground.

Caléndula isn't really sure what had drawn her to the mountain expedition. Perhaps it's the prospect of physical exertion. She'd put on a few pounds over the summer just lounging, eating, and reading. Sandía certainly never let her forget it. Summer is for being outside! she'd constantly cry. It nettled at Caléndula, and of course she loves being outside, but the damp heat of summer made her feel like a wilting leaf. She longed for the crisp coolness of autumn.

As she reaches the base camp, a flask is pressed into her hand. "Thank you!" she exclaims gratefully, taking a drink. Immediately she begins to cough and splutter. "Wh-what is this?" she asks, wide-eyed, trying to ignore her Mellon's cackling. She receives no answer, only a backpack shoved into her chest. "Thank you!" she exclaims again. She opens it to examine its contents.

The usual supplies for an outdoor sort of thing, she finds. And, what's this? A songbook! Whatever would she need that for? She glances around and notices a merry singing group, led by a curious-looking Faerie with fascinating hair. Oh. Of course that's what it's for. She smiles and listens, but doesn't sing along. She's a terrible singer.  

[Teigra]

Definitely creating a bit of a sight as he climbed up onto the final ledge, the armored night guard grumbled to himself a bit about troublesome teenagers and how in his day, this never would have happened, because...

He was interrupted from his thoughts by a bearded little fairy with a high voice. Wait...was that a woman? "Oy! Don't really need armor for climbing, kid! You seem new at this! Here!" A bag was thrown at his head and he ducked, raising his hands to catch it before it bounced off his helmet instead. "Well, least your reflexes are good. Maybe you're not completely doomed, kid!" Said bearded lady strutted off through the air, leaving the perplexed Fauny glaring at her retreat. Then, he looked down at the bag. What in Equestria was this all about?

He'd noticed the other night that Princess Luna's son had been missing for a while. Setting out on his own search before the teenager's disappearance could be noticed by anyone else, he hoped to find the wayward child and get him home before he got into any trouble. He'd never expected to track the teenager halfway across the Isle in his search. By the moon, had the boy lost his mind? His mother would have both their hides at this rate.

Glancing into the bag he'd been handed, the night guard pulled out a book, scowled at the title, then dropped it back in the pack. "Funny," he grumbled, slitted eyes scanning the crowd for his quarry. Ah ha.

Slipping up behind Wild Moon and crossing his arms over his chest armor, the bat-winged Fauny scowled down at the teenager from beneath this helm. "You're a long way from home, little prince."
