Part One; The Deep Woods

Crickets and swamp peepers fill the sound of the night. With the festival of lights in full swing, it is a little bit safer to venture past your territory's boundaries and into the thick of the forest. As an adahy (or di'taki, even), this part of the forest is not known to you. The trees grow thick and gnarled, twisting up to the sky like ancient fingers. Here and there calls of some wild creature can be heard from the distance. For once a quiet sense of peace befalls the Deep Woods; some, but not all of the di'taki have laid down their hostile attitudes in honor of the glow festival.

This is where you and I come in. You, young one, are trespassing on my and my mate's territory. She's begged me to spare your life, and if not for her words perhaps you would be running right now.

However...

What possessed you to come into my haven? Certainly you don't think that this festival of lights makes you immune to all harm, now, do you? That would be foolish of you, wouldn't it? Mommy and daddy aren't here to save you now, so you'd best ought to explain yourself.

Uh-oh, it looks like you've stumbled a bit off the beaten path and straight into Iban and Menetae's territory. Menetae is an adahy, and she's prone to random acts of kindness, but her mate isn't as forgiving! If you want to see the rest of the Glow Festival you have to do some quick thinking. Tell Iban why you're here.

The Game
*- A miniature RP contest. There will be four of these. Each week has a prize. Prizes include glowbug familiars, adahy, and di'taki.


Rules!
*- One response per person.
*- No, you cannot kill Iban or his mate, sorry. If you explain yourself well enough he'll just let you go.
*- This is an ongoing game! (Though if you miss one, you can still play in the next!) Each round lasts for a week to give everyone enough time to respond. Your reply can be a couple sentences, or it could be two pages!
*- Iban responds to everyone. Whatever you say, you'll know what his response is as the end of the week. :D No, he's not going to kill off your pet, don't worry. Whatever happens here may influence your next round, or maybe not!
*- This is not a CYOA. You can't be "eliminated". The response that Iban feels is the most adequate will be the one that takes the prize that round.

If you don't own an adahy or di'taki of your own, feel free to respond using a made up one! This event is open to owners and non-owners alike. When responding, try not to use Iban or Menetae, though a small action thrown in is okay.
Results will be announced Monday, August 9th.

I'm here to warn you! There has been a life threatening drought where I come from, the rivers are drying up. There is no water. Many of us have left or been forced to leave. I'm sure there will be more coming. There are also many fires which have killed many. Please do not travel to those lands it is very dangerous time. Many will kill for anything, food is scarce. Some are going mad with hunger and thirst.

My apologies. I am lost, and I had just come from seeing sister whom is traveling home from the path to Lake Ha'tama as we speak. You see my child, the only one that was born, had been... I'm sorry for my hesitation... I could not keep my child... and I wanted to make sure that my child was with my sister who lived in the Deep Woods. Someone whom I can trust. I have just come from the lake to travel to Lake Ha'tooka. I am tired from my travels from the Hatchery. It has been a long and painful journey, please, I am only looking for the correct path to my homeland.

Heliosyne seemed to be as cheerful as ever, even in the presence of the spectre in front of her. Though he was a massive male, a terrifying beast, she held her ground. In her mind's eye, she just saw another Di'taki, unable to register the hostility in his voice and his body language. Instead she wiggled her feathered tail, all ten eyes peering up into his, and uttered one word:

"Glowbug!"

Sure enough, a glowbug flew out from behind the aggressor, abdomen all alight with a phosphorescent glow. The red-pelted Di'taki's eyes immediately snapped to the bug, sticking her tongue out unintelligently as it alighted right on her nose. Her eyes crossed in an attempt to see the pretty lighty thing, but all she accomplished was looking silly. She'd been chasing the glowbug for awhile, obsessed with its bio-luminescent properties.

The glowbug took to the air again, fluttering up high out of reach. Her distraction removed, Heliosyne returned to eying the stranger curiously, her tongue still sticking out.

Iban's tail swats back and forth, his eyes burning into you. It is clear he has finished waiting.

(Miko Tadita)


“A drought?” Iban laughs, amused. “Young one, I do not have a whole tribe to move and be watchful of. I am certain whatever you claim comes our way will be easily adverted. This forest has protected my mate and I for many a year. We do not travel, I'm sure your problems do not concern us.” His eyes narrow at you. "Leave."






(yeomso)


“Lost?” his maw twists into a half smile, not sure whether to believe you or not. “Perhaps. Perhaps you are not. You must be quite lost to find yourself this deep in the forest, child.” He narrows his eyes at her hesitation.
“Though I am sure that my mate would be most displeased with me if I were to harm you, you being a mother and all... let us believe that yes, you are lost out here, shall we?”





(Larisha Dragonchaser)


Iban had barely opened his mouth to speak, taken aghast by the dimwitted di'taki before him. “What?” he snapped quickly, before catching the glow out of the corner of his eye. He narrowed his gaze, then turned it back to the di'taki. “Just get out of my territory, I don't even think I want to deal with you anymore.”

He ruffles his feathers, and from his tail another glowbug floats out to the red di'taki.




Grats to Larisha!
You take home this round's prize!
