Mathus nodded smartly, hopping up onto four feet. "We make some trouble, yes?" If Gaspar was going to be a successful accomplice, he would have to prove that he was competent at the art of moving unseen and unheard. "Fowlow me!" He hissed dramamtically, slinking off casually, if not very quickly, into the empty space beside the enraptured listeners.

Gaspar had usually experienced that his mother wasn't fond of trouble, but if his new friend said so he would have fun. And after all pirates did so...and when everyone runs away they could get all the forks and the food...
The green Thule grinned and followed Mathus in a crowling movement into the crowd slowly. "What too doo ?" He whispered trying to block the mental contact to Carlos, who seemed to occupied with his new friends anyway. Jealousy arose in the green one, but he didn't say a word.

Although Nuria wasn't sure about this Yana Joney she nodded at Carlos' agreement to being a pirate. Maybe Yana was a pirate too? They had adventures and got things. Well with Carlos it was another one to join them. Why, with so many other pirates and with big Saevire too, they could fight off ten sharks! Maybe she could ask Saevire to come and get rid of the one in the bath first...
But her thoughts are sidetracked as the story starts and she wriggles and clutches her toasting fork as the tale turns spooky. She didn't like the sound of the rapping either and gave a start, her tail lashing and her body heating up just a bit. Her ears drooped back as the tale turned to ghosts. They sounded worse than sharks! Even without their heads! Not to mention the people cutting off their heads. She dropped her fork and clasped her throat.
"B-but.. we pirites too? I don wanna git head cut off!" She cried in alarm.
Danica bypassed the food table as she wandered over, silently helping herself to one of the sweet camp pies. It was rather good, she considered as she chewed a mouthful thoughtfully. But there were other things to attend to and she wasted no time heading over to sit near the circle of thule. She stayed a little further back from the fire, it was rather hot for her tastes, but within sight of Nuria. The girl didn't usually like stories but it seemed she'd found someone to pester and at least that left Danica free of her over-excitable reactions. But Danica had picked up her own trailing thule it seemed for no sooner had she sat down with her treat, Reve was right behind her.
Fortunatly he was quiet enough during the story and Danica watched and listened as Nuria jumped at the rapping and cowered at the mention of a headless ghost. How could anything be headless anyway? Danny thought to herself. It wouldn't be able to see where it was going let alone scare anyone. Still, she gave the old man credit for dealing with the pirates and not running away.
She was rather enjoying the tale when a sudden grasp at her arm made her instinctively pull away. Turning to look she found Reve attached to her limb and paused. Was he scared? Of just a little story?
"Nnly story." She stated calmly and gave a little tug to free her arm. But it didn't look like he was going to let go any time soon. "No real." At least that's what she figured. All stories were just made up. That's why they were stories.

Since some of the words in the story flew right over Lucas (as he had no experience, tactile or otherwise, to associate with them), he could feel Ceri's fright and that made him worry. When the Day Thule shuffled on the log a bit to cuddle up to Sedare, he did the same on the other side--not that he had much of a choice--effectively squeezing Ceri between himself and the older Thule. "Ceii?" he demanded, nuzzling her golden shoulder. "No scared. Jus' story."
Raul was quite content, and even seemed to be dozing off in his caretaker's arms, when a spike of emotion from Lucas started him awake. Worry? Fear?! He grit his teeth and made a low growl, writhing out of Ara's grasp and breaking into a run, on all fours because it was less wobbly, towards his brother. As he made his way towards the Love thule, however, he could not take every obstacle into account, and so Mythos' presence went completely unnoticed--until he bumped into the gray-teal Morality Thule. Instinctively he stopped dead in his tracks and rolled to the side and out of the way, coming back up crouched like a wild animal, brows meeting between his eyes, teeth bared in aggression. In his mind, Lucas had calmed somewhat, but his brother's negative emotions were making his adrenaline run high.
Ara watched her Hate Thule pick another fight, only this time she had to scowl because it was with a thin little Thule who obviously wasn't going to fight back if Raul went in for a swipe. "Raul," she called to him, watching the red and black Thule's tail twitch excitedly, "stop that! Stop it right now!"
Getting up with a sigh, she tried to avoid attracting too much attention to the little slip-up of her vigilance, hoping not to make a scene.

Ceri, still clinging to Sedare, turns her head to look at Lucas. Not seeing the reason behind his explanation right away she whines and points towards the rustling trees. Her ears twitch slightly as she hears murmurs of the same explanation that Lucas had- it was just a story.
"N-no ghost?" she asks Lucas anxiously.
Myze gets to her feet, ready to go comfort Ceri, unaware that Crow was playing connect the dots on her back or that Raul was heading there way. When she hears the bump of the hate thule running into the morality thule, she turns around to see what was going on.
It was Raul. She grits her teeth- Ceri's fear was going away, and without that urgency to go see her she was free to stay where she was. She narrows her eyes at him- he obviously likes picking fights with people. He eyes move from Raul to Ara, who was evidentally going to try to stop him.

[Sorry for the absence, didn't get a chance to post when I was away for the weekend!]
Mathus halted, hoping Gaspar wouldn't bump into him, as he was following closely behind. For once he couldn't really think of anything to do, but quickly located the source of the story as the red Thule with the eyepatch. He eyed Saevire maliciously, then turned to Gaspar and pointed her out. "She ees tellin' the stowy, awright? And since eveeboddie lissen to her, we sneak up behind an' scare ev'ryone." He narrowed his eyes fiercely. He'd give them all a fright, right at the climax of the story, when they were all the most frightened.
"No real?" he repeated, shivering. "Yoo shoore?" Reve released Danica's arm nervously and glanced around again, rubbing his hands together to warm them, as well as take his mind off the story. Headless ghosts and pirates and--! It was all so scary! What if the headless pirate was here now?

"Shure Imm shure." Danica said with a firm nod. Stories came out of books or were made up out of your head. She had listened to a fair few stories in her short lifetime already, no no things like trolls and ghosts and princesses riding the winds couldn't be true. It'd be on the news otherwise...
"Jush to liswen to." She emphased, glad now he'd let her arm go yet he still kept looking round and acting nervous. She didn't offer any other form of comfort though. He'd soon figure out she was right when no ghosts would appear.

Saevire grinned at her little pirate brood. "Of course, those of us who ARE pirates are safe from the ghost! It's the rest of ye land lubbers who have te watch out fer yer heads!" She let out a cackle and hopped down off the log.
Sedare stood and began putting away the food items to pass out the campfire pies. She loaded them into a basket and moved around the fire, pointing out the various flavors as she offered them.

"Alwight, we scare." Gaspar nodded and followed Mathus as silent as possible. Hopefully nobody had noticed the two crawling up behind Saevire. "Joo say go and we attack." The Thule mentioned quietly as he was close to grab the red girl's leg to make everyone think he was a pirate. He would get attention then and it was after all better then gaining nothing.

"A-all right. If you say so!" His lip trembled as he said this, with some difficulty. Nothing appeared to frighten him momentarily, so his fears were assuaged for the present. Maybe she was right...
Mathus paused and tapped his lips pensively, listening in on the story. Something about a headless pirate? Maybe... "Gaspar?" He whispered urgently. "Yoo think yoo could find somefink, like a coat? We act like a headless pie-rate?" He hoped Gaspar would understand the reference to the story.

The rest of the evening and the overnight sleeping goes peacefully, as Sedare keeps her twin in check and away from terrifying the other twins overnight. In the morning parents pick up their kiddos and life goes on. blaugh
