"Just seeing if you are alright, not often do creatures fall from the sky, even when I was up here. Let me help you."
The eye slowly slid back into the open skull of Tyronus and made sickly cracking sound as the skull closed back up to form his regular head. Feeling he had studied this creature enough with his eye, Tyronus would decide to help her. He reached down with both of his tentacles and offered her a lift. He could have just picked her up, but she might have taken the wrong way. The fake Tyronus retracted his tentacle, leaving the tick on her shoulder as his ugly face smiled.
"Did ithurt you my boy? No it didn't! It only takes a few drops of blood and stores it for me to collect. I could have it do alot more as well, but I'm forbidden biologically to hurt you. The worst I could do with it is cover you in a protective hide of armor or give you spare arms, or some other odd alteration. Of course, I just want blood samples. You two have a seemingly linked mind set, somethni I find intresting."

Pippa stared suspiciously at the tentacles waving in front of her face. Her mind was racing with all sorts of bizarre questions, but she couldn't slow them down long enough to ask any of them. Behind the form of the ugly stranger, she could see a huge collection of people and monsters, none of which were paying the slightest attention to her. All around her came the sounds of chatter and laughter, and a faint chiming of some sort that seemed to be coming from a group of children playing merrily near the surf. Such a beautiful sight Pippa was not used to, and for a moment she was lost amongst the huge shapeless crowd around her.
One of the tentacles twitched and her attention was hastily drawn back to the thing, which was still holding out its tenticles and staring at her in a rather unnerving way.
Pippa took in a sharp breath.
You've only just got here, you can't start making enemies...
"I'm Pippa," she said, trying to sound brave, and held out her arms to grab hold of the tentacles. She was just about to ask who, or indeed what, her helper was but a sharp pain in her arm made her cry out. She fell heavily back onto the sand, clutching her right arm and biting her bottom lip in frustration.
"There's something wrong with my arm..." she muttered angrily.

"You are hurt beyond what I could see, sorry. I hope you don't mind."
Tyronus extended his tentacles towards her, wrapping around her waist and forehead. He lifted the person up towards himself to get her out of the pit . Her arm was hurt, Tyronus could repair it, but he wasn't sure she would like how he would do it. He kept his arms a bit away from his chest so she wasn't bothered too much by the stench of the dead and fungus on his body.
"Sorry for the smell, my name is Tyronus. I can help heal your arm, but your wound will smell kind of like me for a few days. I will cover it in a type of skin from my body and it will help keep bacteria away as well as eat away the dead skin left from the wound. Its much better then any scab your body can develop. If not, we can ask someone for help instead.

Lazarus turned as he felt a stranger glare at him. He had half a mind to grab onto the person but let him pass, etching the figure into his memory. "Good day." It wasn't everyday that someone was sharp with him; he was well liked in Utopia for helping so many people.
Lazarus continued on his way, trying to find info on the missing people.

"No it didn't hurt... but It was kind of wierd." Baralai said holding his arm were the Tick like creature came out of. "We are twins, the only thing that makes us different biologically, is the fact that I am a girl and he is a boy, and twins tend to have a mental link." Rikku said turning so she couldn't see it, or what it was doing. "So why are you forbidden to hurt us?" He asked calmly.

Pippa repulsed. When she had first crashed, the only thing she could smell was the sweet scent of coconuts and exotic spices that were being offered up by various merchants sat amongst the crowd. Now, being closer to Tyronus, the terrible smell of death permeated the air. She had never smelt anything like it before, and she didn't like it.
But he wants to help me...
"You... You want to..." Pippa tried to answer him, but her head was spinning. This was all far too much to take in.
"So... You want to put a bit of you... On me?" Pippa asked, squinting up at Tyronus, desperately trying to understand.

"Don't feel worried, I can only absorb dead things. Half of the reason I came over here was to see if it was a dead corpse to eat, the other half was being a good person I suppose. Yes, I suppose he wayyou put it was right, it won't be too long though.
He could do much more then just heal her wound if he placed the skin on it. Like with thw twins, he could take a bit of her blood for later use. The Witch kind were very familiar to Tyronus, they were a key part of the obliteration of his race. Their fire spells meant all but extinction for much of his kind. Tyronus never held a grudge for the past though, he wanted to destroy the old legacy of his ancestors. Tyronus would still want her apoval, she probably didn't know his weakness to fire. The Kansen were still a long forgotten race, no ne seems to remeber them. This witch on the other hand maybe did, Withes were known to kep archives for references, but she seemed too young. Maybe her mother had something about the Kansen, he would ask later.
"So is it a yes or no?"
The double scratched his chin with his left claw, thinking of how to explain such things to the twins.
"Long ago, before you were born, the Kansen ruled a large portion of the island. They were feared for their brutal ways of treating other life forms, as food. They were wiped out by the other inhabitants of the island, I'm the last of them. I want to keep away from my ancestor's legacy and be a kind creature. That and I can only eat dead things, I'm basically a decomposer. If I tried to eat you, you would just be unwanted weight in my stomach cavity."

"Well that just sounds pleasant." Rikku said laughing sarcastically. "You wouldn't die or anything? you would just sit there in your stomach?" Baralai asked intrigued.

((The blue is kind of hard to read also...and It is suppose to be night since the festival was suppose to take place at night with the fire and everything. ^-^))
Zorlan was happy at how things were turning out the festival seemed to be a hit and everyone was enjoying themselves. He couldn't help but whistle with others as they stared at the Skakrunan. It was rare to see one of these fish since they stayed to the deeper parts of any body of water. Whoever caught this was a better fisherman than Zorlan. He wanted to examine the fish closer, but didn't want to seem rude and leave the girl he was talking to behind.
"Over here I be." He said as he made his way over to the fish.
The man completely ignored what Lazarus said and continued on his way, when he was out of Lazarus' perception he vanished from sight. Moments later he appeared on the rooftop of a building following Lazarus, hopping for rooftop to rooftop. So he's my target.

"Yes, but I could do several things to try to kll anything inside. Oxygen might run or I could constrict them, doesn't always work. Regurgitition is the last option, no sense in having something you can't process. I wouldn't be stupid enough to eat something alive, unless they seemed dead and I didn't bother to check."
Tyronuse's double decided to stop there, these twins managed to trick him into giving out one of his weaknesses. If he ate someone who knew a fire technique, there would be no escape for hismelf. Of course, the person inide would suffer too unless they had a thermal based shield. His stomach could also doubleas storage, Tyronus at the moment had several reasures in his gut. Mostly royal jewels from the Ruins, the Dead King's Chamber to be exact.

Riley sat down on a log in front of the fire but watched Zorlan. Again her hands began to tingle.
There's something about him. She thought to herself. There was something about that man that made her want to burn things. She couldn't explain it. She knew nothing about him and yet he made her body become full of rage. As carefully as she could she tried to calm herself once again. Thankfully, when he left her body began to calm.

((Lazarus is in a completely different town))
Zorlan was examining the fish and couldn't take his eyes off it, it was beautiful, well in an ugly deep water fish way. Talking with the other fishers he found out that someone brought it up from the water themselves not using fishing poles, harpoons, or nets, but with his own hands.
"Jealous I be" Zorlan said when Vince walked up.
"Never thought I'd hear that from you!"
"Fish look big it is."
"Yeah but he didn't fish it up from the sea like you and me Zorlan, don't be jealous over this."
"Yes know I...know I." Zorlan then smiled and looked at Vince.
"Better than you still I be." Vince shook his head in defeat and they laughed at each other.

"But you always bother to check right?" Baralai asked, calmly. "Have you ever accidentally absorbed something you thought was dead, but wasn't?"

"Yes, never works. I told you, I can't abosrb or digest living things. My people were decomposers, not predators."
These children bothered him with so many questions, but he didn't mind. This was one of the very few intellectaul conversatinos he has had for 900 years, he didn't mind if they were too curious. Tyronus understood why Ichinen telled them the truth, they were hard to lie to. Its usaully easy to lie to children, many adults do it.
