Dirt, rubble, and broken glass is all the remains of the SB HQ after the attack upon it about a week ago. The debre has settled after, smoke and dust cleared. A bright sunny day that masks the tragidy felt here by those who once made this their home. Even a few ferals have taken to the place, using the small sections where the roof still covers as protection from the elements.
Bits of glass and gravelized rubble crunch under Userpay's feet as shi lands just down the road from the SB. Even from afar the salamander had felt the painful pangs of the memory of that day. Still seems life went on if the new 'occupants' were anything to go by.
Having noted the destruction of the building a few days ago Tilly returns to the site looking to see what can be found to remain, canvas rucksack slung over one shoulder the zebra looks over the surrounding area briefly from across the street before spotting Userpay landing at the site. Recognizing hir as a fellow member and the first one he has seen since the incident he adjust his rucksack and runs across the street over to User.
Seeing Tilly, the few ferals look at the zebra walking around their new home. The huskies growl a bit, skunks chittering, and latex foxes yapping in their squicky voices. Nothing much else to notice for the time, other then a complete lack large dragon body that would otherwise be an indication that Mira was here.
The salamander warily eyes the ferals from behind the hir helmet, though still approaches slowly. A large rifle is held unslung though down low in a non-threatening manner, there was no sense in provoking them if necessary. Still... Where was Miranai? Seeing the zebra however Userpay pauses in front of the building to let him catch up. Evidently an associate though not one shi knew.
Tilly turns his head to look at the nearby ferals momentarily as he walks before stopping a couple feet from User and turning back to face the salamander "Don't believe we've made acquaintance but iv seen you around before.". Then nodding to the destroyed building "Came to see what I could recover. Why don't you assist me?" the equine asks before turning away and heading over to the SB building.
Though alongside the natural sounds of the windy, mutated city around them, the soft sounds of footsteps approaches the place where Tilly and Userpay are standing... Specifically, Anbessa. The suit wearing human looks towards the rubble as Tilly and Userpay can easilly see the red eyes and bags under them as the human trudges over. Sadly, his suit looks rather untidy, which is very uncommon for the man, though at least he is armed with that strange Steyr AUG weapon and, interestingly, a lightweight spear resting across his back. "... I don't see Mira's body..." Anbessa's tone is rather melancholy, though it fades some as he speaks his realization, the human raising an eyebrow as he looks towards the salamander and zebra curiously. "You'd think a giant dragoness' body would be easy to spot..."
The more agents that collect near the building, the more the ferals seem to get agitated, moving around, barking, squicking, chittering at them. It seems they don't like their potental new home being observed by them! Lots of growling start to come from them, a warning to stay away from what they have claimed.
The salamander gives the zebra a slow nod. Userpay vaguely recalled hearing of an equine member though they hadn't met, perhaps this was him. "My name is Userpay, and help freely given is help gladly accepted yet... While there are things that need be recovered from the wreckage there is something that presses on my mind more." Shi turns to survey the rubble, or rather were a large body should have been. "Miranai fell here during the destruction of the SB yet I see not her nor her body." The salamander turns and inclines hir head to Anbessa. "Which means it must have been moved... But by who?"
The agitated ferals begin to draw Userpay's attention and shi turns to observe them once more. "I suppose they are all we have to go by." The salamander takes a couple of steps forward. "Would any of you speak with us? There was another, a big person here several days past. Where did they go?"
Tilly had already turned and swiftly moved away before User gave hir reply instead after noticing Anbessa approaching waving for him to follow as well before running off to clamer over the rubble over to where the den used to be. He stops there and begins picking up pieces and turning them over sifting through pieces of ceiling and wall in order to see what could be dug up. He stops though after a few moments of this noting the ferals increased agitation and opening his pack pulls out both his zeliska and knife, holstering the gun on the packs strap before sheathing his knife.
Miora slowly shows up to the scene of the remaining base, her body bundled up in a button up sweater, scarf and knee length skirt, rather odd for the normally nude husky. She didn't seem to mind the barks and yaps of the others, her face a sulked look to it, the bit of her lower face not covered by the scarf having two lines beneath her eyes, both matted down by streaks of tears that had been running down her face. She didn't want to help look for any pieces left of Mira, not able to really stand thinking of Mira in that shape... a part of her ocming on the hope she was alive and perhaps burried... she moved to sit on a remaining piece of wall, her ears folded back and pulling her knees up to her chest.
Along with the husky comes a similarly melancholy Selyra, one arm held behind the poor girl's back. "There there, sweetie... I know, trust me..." she says in a monotonous voice, the return to the building being hard on the collie as well. As they approach, Selyra calls out towards the building, just to make sure that anyone inside knew she was coming. "It's Selyra, and Miora." she tells them, bringing the moping husky up in front of the building. The first thing she notices is that Mira's dragon body was not present in front of the building. "She's... not here?" she asks in an astonished tone, directing that question towards anyone that might be standing in what was once the lounge.
Anbessa nods his head to Userpay's words as he squints at the ferals who are scattered about the place where his family's main base once stood, him resisting that cruel little part of him that is telling him to raise his gun. Though as he restates what Userpay said in his head, he looks downwards before he looks towards Selyra and Miora. "Well... I don't think that nanites can shift a corpse's shape... And seeing as there isn't a massive blood trail... Maybe Miranai is somewhere?" The human asks, the man's tone obviously telling that he is grabbing at straws, him looking towards Tilly and Userpay afterwords for few moments, as if trying to get some type of confirmation to his... Well, hope.
Even more agents approching, the ferals get even more agitated, barking, squeeking, chittering, it looks like they are ready to defend their new home. Huskies, Skunks, Latex Foxes all, looking as if they are fond of where they have found themselves, and completely unwilling to give up. As the group discusses things, they continue their shows of dominance and agression.
Userpay's mouth opens uselessly as shi watches the horse stride right into the middle of everything. Perhaps this explained why he wasn't around much... Still at the voice the salamander turns and gives a wave of acknowledgement to the husky and collie. "It seems that way but not sure why..." Shi calls back keeping one eye on the ferals. It is a disappointment that said ferals appear to have none amongst them with coherent thought, or at least that would let them respond in word. "Horse... You might want to get down from there." This wasn't getting them anywhere yet... Perhaps an aerial view might help. The salamander's wings pump, sending hir upwards until shi hovers a story over the ruble. Eyes roving trying to spot a clue.
Tilly Stands back up strait slinging his rucksack over one arm. Then hearing Sel's voice behind him he perks up his ears and turns his head to look over his shoulder and not seeing her the equine turns around and moves over towards the front of the building where the lobby once was to look back to the group that was still holding back down the street a ways looking to see if Sel was with them. Then with one of the closer ferals yiping and growling at him he turns to face it while making a shooing gesture yelling "get, you mingy little thing!" at it, seeming quite annoyed that it had taken up residence here.
Even while sitting down she made sure not to stray too far form Selyra. She had her ears pinned back, still worried even with no sign of Mira's body, her body feeling dead to herself, she felt completely destroyed... as she sits near Seli she does her best to keep to herself, although as she hears the barks get closer to her, her eyes glow and she was in little to no mood for another attack, a few electic like surges going over her as her dormant nanites start to become active. While nothing happened anything that could even slightly feel a surge of nanites could feel them coming from her. The warning not the only noticable thing as a rather large ring of thick spiked root loomed there, ready to shoot out and bind anything that tried to come closer or to block any projectiles. Her eyes glowing a deep azura blue, almost burning in intensity, it seemed the husky was a rather polar opposite of her normal self.
The collie stands outside the building, nearby the front doors, in hopes of finding any trace of the corpse, but it seems it has gotten up and walked away. She latches onto the sight of Anbessa the moment she sees him, wherever he may be, her heart holding onto any bit of the group's normality that it can after such a devastating loss. "A-and it might have taken longer than this to take it all apart, I mean..." she trails off, grasping at the same straws as her human mate. Seeing the presence of the new resident ferals, she frowns, her recently renewed resolve starts to crumble away. On the verge of more tears due to the fact that ferals have already taken refuge in the ruins of their old home, she decides to show no mercy if they make any kind of move. However, her canning of the ferals led her vision to cross over Userpay, who stands a ways down the street from the building. Her eyes open wide, and her tail starts to swish a little. "Userpay? Is that you? You made it!" she cries in surprise, glad that at least someone other than her little group made it out alive. She wonders who else might have lived from the traumatic event. Tilly's voice and his appearance in the lounge of the building draws her attention there, tail swishing a bit more behind her. "Oh, Tilly! We really could have used your help during this..." she says a bit darly, but Miora's show of force gets her attention even better. "Miora, sweetie! It's going to be okay, I promise you." she tries to get the poor sensitive husky to calm down a little, but if she can fend off the ferals, that might help her in a small way of getting her emotions out. After her attempt at stabilizing Miora, she tries to focus some more on the area where she knows Mira was, then blinks at a realization. "H-hey... guys?" she calls out, waving anyone that can see her near. "Mira fell right here... but it seems like she was moved, see? These chunks would have been several feet this way if the hadn't been moved out of the way."
Anbessa's eyes try to scan for more hope from the group, though at the excessive noises coming from the ferals, the human cannot help but grip his teeth... They are standing where THEY used to live. They are standing where Mira got BLASTED merely a little while ago. Added on Selyra already CRYING?! Ohhh gods the human is stepping forward. "Nrrgh! Shut the FUCK UP!" Anbessa's shout booms suddenly as the man pulls the trigger of the AUG in his hand, letting out a blue gunshot into the air. "I am NOT in the mood for you feral FUCKS!" The human growls out, taking more steps forward as he levels his AUG on the ferals. "Step the fuck up! C'mon!" The human's eyes dart from feral to feral as his finger nestles up to the trigger, as if challenging the idiotic smallfry that inhabit his old home. No doubt, the man is PISSED, and about ready to let it out ALL over the first challenger, ignorant to the others own challenges and words around him.
With the intimidating Anbessa and Miora, along with Tilly approching, the ferals seem to calm down, much less squeeking, barking, and cittering, but they still seem ready to try and keep where they have made a home. A few snaps at Tilly as he tries to shoo them away, it seems they do not want to leave, though through all the sounds some speech can be heard, mostly trying to comfort some of the others, words hardly recongisable, and very broken, but there.
Userpay grimaces, while the higher viewpoint helped it certainly didn't aid specific details. Still... The salamander pins the safety on hir rifle and slings it onto hir back before beginning to slowly drift down, hands up and non-aggressive, towards a likely spot which happened to be where Sel just started pointing. The entrance. Hearing broken talk amongst the ferals however the salamander's hopes raise. "Oi, you lot in there." Shi calls out to the ferals, pointing to accent what shi says. "There was a big person here. Few days ago. Where is?" Even during that though Userpay casts hir eyes around, looking for any further clues where Mira had lain.
Tilly folds his ears back flat as he hears Anbessa's yelling and shakes his head a bit. Then he takes another step forward towards the ferals continuing his shooing motion exclaiming "Fucking git already you fucks!" and as one lunges at him to try and bite Tilly attempts to grab the offending feral even if that meant getting bit lunging forward a bit in order in to try and grapple it "Oh no you fucking dont, get back here!".
Miora does calm down a bit at Seli's voice, her nanite's seeming to slow and calm, although the roots didn't disappear, if anything more were starting to sprout and her eyes still glowed the bright blue color. She kept quiet and still sat there, knees up to her chest, she had been paying a bit of attention to them, but she still felt like she had messed up... she wasn't here to help Mira she didn't even get to try and do anything to help her... she still sat legs up to her chest. Eyes closing a but and burrying herself in her scarf more... it being one Mira had worn before, it still carrying a little of her scent in it. She closed her eyes and lowered her head, a faint glow coming from behindt he eyelids but otherwise she doesn't move too much
The human's shouting and shooting causes Selyra to flinch a little, but lowers her head, figuring he would do better to release his emotions as well. However, the soft speech is heard by the collie, maing her stop and look in the direction of it. Furrowing her brows, she's about to speak out to everyone in the area, but User beats her to it. Giving the salamander a certain look, she means to tell hir to keep things a little gentler, as they're likely scared. Tilly's decision to engage with one fo the ferals causes the collie's face to meet with her paw palm, though she can't honestly feel too much sympathy for a latex fox. "We'll never find that voice if he kills them all... Tilly, stop!" she call out, crouching down and moving her way closer to the caved wall, setting up cover behind it. This position allows her to see Miora curling up against herself, feeling her own heart plummet into her stomach. The drive to find Mira grows however, determined to do something for the poor girl.
Anbessa pants softly after the ferals seem to back off, the human grunting for a moment. "That is what I thought." He says, nodding to himself mainly. Though at the sound of the soft voice coming from within the rubble, the human cannot help but raise an eyebrow... That means that there is a feral that is actually smart. Given that he looks up towards Userpay for a moment, he is following what the rest of the group is doing... Though the human does something rather bold, the man stepping up on a few pieces of rubble to climb, holding his AUG in one arm and keeping it pointed forward as he uses his left hand to help him climb over some rubble, him trying to move towards the source of the voice.
The voice gets clearer and louders as Tilly starts to rumble with one of the Latex foxes! That starts a fight, more latex foxes, huskies, skunks jumping in! Most watch however, waiting to see what happens. The poor thing that Tilly attacked doesn't look like it will be able to win, even with its friend's help, Anbessa's approch getting him some nips as, wordless signs to get back, though they all look much more scared then anything else. "No! No fight! Just want home! STOP!" It is much more evident now, a herm Latex Fox, looking much more worried about some of hir fellow ferals being hurt then anything else standing beneath a small section of what used to be the roof over the kitchen, hands to hir squeeky muzzle, words peppered with yaps. Shi knew these agents were above hir little group, but what else could they do?
Userpay grits hir teeth as the horse engages one of the ferals. "Damn it, Zebra! Stop. They're the only ones that might have a clue where Miranai is!" The voice! The salamander turns with an excited expression, finally a clue! With a warning glare and finger at the equine Userpay moves slowly towards the herm latex fox. "Hello... Do you have a name? This, was our home before others came but we look for one of ours left behind. Big dragoness, or big taur, have you seen her perhaps?" The salamander pauses, looking around. "If you can tell us... And if you let us retrieve some things of ours from under rock, we can make this better shelter for you?" Shi sounds hopeful, it might not be hir place to offer such yet why would they use the rubble themselves if they were moving? Why not fix it a bit for the ferals?
Selyra widens her eyes at the sight of more latex foxes, shrinking down more behind the cover of the wall. Her chest feels tight, and she's unwilling to move from her spot unless one of those things spots her. Frozen in place, trembling a bit, all she can do is look fearfully at Miora. Tail tucked tightl between her legs, she whimpers softly, especially as User leaves her general area to try and speak to the latex creature that can talk. Words said by those around her become less apparent as the poor collie receeds in upon herself, but she continues to tell herself repeatedly that it will all be over soon, and it's likely none of them will hurt her.
Tilly keeps a firm hold on the latex fox more trying to simply restrain it more than to cause any injury, though he certainly wasnt being gentle by any means. Lifting the fox up by the scruff of the neck Tilly shouts in reply "relax im not gona kill the damn vermin, just removing them.". Then completely ignoring the feral's comrads the zebra drags the latex fox behind him to the edge of the ruined building where he makes an attempt to punt the poor thing out into the street. Then moving back to the rest of the group he gruffly commands "Now get." Then hearing Userpay talking to someone Tilly turns to look in Users direction and seeing he was speaking to one of the ferals he slowly approaches it, though this time not in a threatening manner. stopping next to the salamander he listens but remains silent.
Miora is brought out of her small moping trance as the talking happens, managing to spot Selyra too... how did she keep going even after all this? After a brief pause she looks over to the vixen and User talking. Slowly she moves closer, may as well try to help, her eyes still glowing as she holds up her hands, as if cupping water, a small illusion forming of what Mira looked like in her taur form. "Like this but much bigger." the illusion only about 1/4th of the scale. She still had a rather sad look to her and as if she wanted to just curl up and sleep through it" but she wasn�t here to help Mira before. she wasn�t gonna just let Mira disappear now.
Selyra widens her eyes at the sight of more latex foxes, shrinking down more behind the cover of the wall. Her chest feels tight, and she's unwilling to move from her spot unless one of those things spots her. Frozen in place, trembling a bit, all she can do is look fearfully at Miora. Tail tucked tightl between her legs, she whimpers softly, especially as User leaves her general area to try and speak to the latex creature that can talk. Words said by those around her become less apparent as the poor collie receeds in upon herself, but she continues to tell herself repeatedly that it will all be over soon, and it's likely none of them will hurt her. "O-oh god, oh god..." she says between pants of fear, just hoping to Bastet that the abominations won't notice her, flashes of memories swarming her mind. She's even oblivious to Tilly's horrible decision-making.
Anbessa starts to grunt and yip once or twice as he is nipped at by the onslaught of fluffy and latex creatures! Settling against a few rocks for a moment, the human resists his thought of just shooting at them due to the possible info source in the place. Though he does bat at a few of their noses to try to get them to back off. "Ey! This used to be our home before it got broken, it should at least be respected enough to let us check out the place." The human says in annoyance, flicking the nose of one latex fox for a moment before he carefully vaults some of the rubble, trying to land on some more flatter surface.
The Latex Fox herm gives a very squeeked whine as the male Tilly was grappling with is punted... landing near Selyra, and making hir run over to it, looking the male Tilly had just kicked over many times, now easily in sight of the collie in her hiding place. Shi looks over to Userpay, "Why!? We no hurt! Leave us alone!" Shi says. The abused feral whines in its squeeky voice as the herm looks him over, in total there were only about a dozen skunks, huskies, foxes. It slowly comes to hir however what was being said, looking to the image Miora was making. Shi growls a bit, "Come to new home, kick mate, why I help?" Shi asks. Watching the human continue to flick and agitate hir small group, shi growls a bit more loudly, "STOP! We leave, just... stop.." shi says.
"Damn it horse!" The salamander whirls and glares at the zebra. "Cool. It. Now. We were planning on moving away from where anyway. I said it earlier, they're our only hope for finding Miranai!" Userpay sighs, turns away, and walks slowly towards the herm latex fox. Visibly trying to cool hirself. "Everybody just calm down and don't hurt them!" The salamander stops just before shi gets to the herm latex fox. "I... Apologize for them. Certainly you must know how it feels to be missing a member of your... Pack. We wish only to find her, and retrieve some important belongings from the rubble when time permits. After that we will leave this place to you. If you wish /I/ can fix it, make more roof, make more livable."
Tilly turns to reply to User "Finding Mira? What happened to Mira?" Then seeing the latex fox herm run off towards the male he had just kicked and seeing it was right near where Sel was cowering behind the wall Tilly doesn't wait for an answer and instead moves over to where Sel was hiding. Slowly walking up to the collie Tilly places crouches down next to her wordlessly, putting his body between her and the pair of latex foxes and his back against the wall.
sees her running over she whimpers a bit and quickly trails after the vixen and her apparent mate, quickly coming over. "I am very sorry, they are a bit angry, we lost someone very close to us... and we are all sort of trying to cope." Her hands glowing a bit as she touches the injured fox, checking inside him to see what was injuried before the glow changed to a different glow, causing small plants blooming, the small branches on the plant seeming to have little droplet shaped seeds. The plant seeds begin to glow softly, the glow starts mending any damage done to the fox along with anyone else within the range of the seeds, several plants growing all around the husky, doing her best to keep calm and show she was trying ot be sensable. "You don't have to leave, although this was once our home, I am sure it can be a lovely home for you and your pack too... all we ask is that you let us retrieve a few belongings of ours and in return we can even fix it up a bit perhaps?" she asks, once more looking up the the vixen with hopeful eyes, her tears still stained with tears, hoping for some sort of aid in this whole fiasco. The fox healed up, her glowing paws stopped and the plants disappeared back into the ground.
As the latex fox lands next to Selyra, and the leader moves quickly to it, Selyra squeals in fear, scrambling to get away from them as fast as she's able. Struck down pathetically by her fear, tears stream down her face, she's made it across the street safely to hide in the nearby building. She has seen latex foxes in passing plenty of times, but she's never gotten too close, nor do they even attempt to attack her anymore. However, the near persuing appearance of these latex foxes has resurfaced her fears and memories like nothing she's ever experienced before, huddling up against herself in the other ruined building. Eyes still wide, she glances out of her cover at the latex foxes, trying to simply stay away from them long enough to regain herself. The others will likely distract them, while she uselessly hides away somewher else. This rapidity of reactions leaves Tilly's action relatively unnoticed however, the collie's mind now a tunnel. Latex foxes at one end, and relief on the other. There's nothing else at all. Her breathing is deeper, movements more panicked.
Anbessa frowns as he hears the latex herm as he continues to be nipped at, the human grumbling in annoyance as he just decides to holster his gun on his back with his spear. "Can you at least tell them to stop nipping me? It... Oh wait." Given that he realizes it doesn't hurt that much, the human also thinks of an idea. Perking up, the human takes a step away from a few of the ferals... Then reaches into his suit to pull out a small box. Presenting it to some that are or were nipping at him, he tries to give a peace offering... Food! Normally, the human held onto his snacks for emergencies, but he can just make more later, so he offers some of the ferals the treats as h-... Wait, what was that glint? Looking over, he squints... Oh... Right. We forgot to grab that on the escape.
A peace offering, some aid, and the promise of a better home. The squeeky leader listens carefully, "You... promise? Make new home good?" Shi asks, helping hir mate up to his feet again after Miora helps him. The ferals take the food and actually start deviding it up, seems the mostly sane latex leader was working with them all on cooperation. "Big blue dragon thing, was scary, beat up bad, but taken by other bad people, that way." Shi says, pointing northward, "Came and were most like him." Shi continues, pointing to Anbessa, "Waved loud banging things at us, but take big dragon thing and go." Shi says, looking a bit more hopefully to User, "You make home good now?" Shi asks, but hir gaze catches the feeling collie, tilting hir head a moment.
Userpay blinks as shi sees a streak of fur run by, half-turning to see the retreating tail of Selyra. Where did she...? Miora's continued assistance draws a relieved sigh as the salamander turns back to the foxes. Shi listens intently to the leaders explanation, a smile slowly spreading across hir face. "This makes for good hearing!" Shi turns to watch Anbessa pass out some food for a moment. "Yes yes! You must understand we need to go find her, but for the information I can do some fixing. I will return later and do more to. If later you let us retrieve some of our belongings that were left behind I'll do more fix, more make good!" The salamander is quickly growing excited. A chance... There was a chance to be had. Looking for some easier fixes shi steps through some of the rubble, finding pieces that shi could life and with hir nanomagic smooth into the walls and ceiling to stabilize at least one room.
With Sel scampering off across the street to hide soon as he get to her Tilly sighs and follows her across the street into the building. Looking around for a moment after entering the building Tilly spots the collie again cowering behind a broken section of wall and he moves over to her slowly. Frowning the horse looks down at her then placing a hand on her shoulder he crouches down next to her again, "Sel?" he asks quietly.
Userpay spends 2000 builder mass for RP reasons.
Miora follows the gaze to Selyra and then back to the vixen. "She had a bit of a bad run in with other latex creatures..." slowly Miora stands up, and brushes off her knees. "I do promise to come back and aid you in making this place a better home for you and your pack... but first, we have to save that dragon... can you remeber and distinguishing features about the people who took her, a marking or anything?" she asks softly, her ears pinned back as she does her best to be sincere. She pauses and bites her lip "I know you have no reason to trust or me, but we will be back..." she moves and gives the vixen a quick hug before turning back to the others and moving towards them after gathering any info she can.
The hand on Selyra's shoulder gives her a start, making her scramble backwards away from Tilly, until she notices it's him. The sight of a zebra instead of a latex fox brings her back to her more common self, though fear still lingers on in her. "O-oh, s-sorry..." she manages, but looks downward in shame, able to give no excuse for her cowardice. Looking more than a little ashamed, she slowly stands to her feet, eyes waway from Tilly and looking towards their old home.
Anbessa perks up as he listens and watches Userpay's work... Though the human raises an eyebrow as the fox herm points towards him. "Really...? Other humans?" The man asks curiously, looking towards Userpay before he pads towards the area where he knew the item in question used to be... C'mon now, where is it? The human takes a moment to crouch and start moving a few pieces of rubble that aren't being used in Userpay's building... C'mon, it should be near here...
Shifting through the rubble, Anbessa finds the broken parts of a plaque, scraped up and in five pieces, fortunately however, the plushie is mostly untouched, a small rip in it. The latex fox however looks to User, "No know, only that humans with lots of things, bang things and lots of stuff all over body. We stayed away." shi says, "But pick up big dragon thing and take hir over that way, to the place we get food, hand out food once in time from now and again." shi says only partly really making sense. "But not like people in big building, were all humans." Shi continues.
Userpay pauses in hir work as shi listens. "So perhaps one of the big three then..." The salamander looks between the rubble, Anbessa, Miora, and across the street where Selyra had run off to, then sighs. "Listen, Miora, Anbessa, can you two take Sel and see if you can 'follow' the group that took Miranai? I'll stay here, see if I can't recover anything or find some more info. I'll catch up when I can just... Stay in contact. Please." It's hard for the salamander to turn away but a promise was a promise and shi goes back to patching the building together. Trying to guide the ferals in sifting through the rubble for useable pieces.
Looking at his frightened mate, or once mate, Tilly shakes his head, small mane flapping as he does, "Its fine." He says, standing up again and looking over to Anbessa, "Big building where get food sometimes?" he asks. It hardly made any sense, "There is only one big building still standing, Z's tower. I'm going to run ahead." He says, shifting down to his feral form to gallope off, hardly any consideration for staying together or any potental danger.
Miora listens to the others some and looks back to the vixen whimpering a bit as she comes over to Selyra, helping her up some and hugging her, cooing and conforting her. "you'll be alright." she says as she makes sure her mate is ok too. Petting Seli's head as she hugged her close against her husky bust. "Shhh your alright." she said with a soft motherly smile.
Selyra presses tight against Miora as she's hugged, giving a nod towards Tilly. In her mate's arms, she starts to feel better already, but the shameful sensation of foolishness can't escape her. "I-I know, I just... I can't believe I ran away..." she says quietly, though the truth is that she can believe it. She knows her fears, never expected them to become so apparent. "Th-thank you, sweetie." she smiles bashfully at Miora, nuzzling against her neck as she's comforted, appearing more as her normal self now.
Anbessa perks up and smiles widely down towards the plushie in his hands as the human looks towards the herm latex fox, him nodding his head as he listens. "Thanks for the info." He says, him looking towards Userpay as the man nods to the salamander as well. "Alright. Shouldn't be too much of a problem." He says, taking the time to light up his COM device, his eye glowing green as he sends out a small message to his list of personal sources before he pads over the rubble, careful to move about before he is back on the street. Quickly approaching Selyra, Miora, and Tilly, the human smiles down to the collie. "Its no problem, Sel. Everyone has got something that spooks em'... Even me!" He says happilly, him taking the moment to present Selyra with her gift, the Venifus plushie! Even if it does have a bit of a rip, he does want the collie to have the memoir item.
Selyra winces as she sees Anbessa approach, sure that he would be disappointed in her, but his cheerful attitude surprises her. Seeing the plushie, she gasps, taking it immediately. "It's... it's okay! I was worried about this..." she says with relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing as a huge weight lifts off them. Not all is lost, and Mira will be found for sure. "Okay... we can do this, everyone. Let's get our Mira back." she says with determination, tail wagging. "What did you find out from those... ferals?"
The pack leader looks very very happy as User moves to continue working with the rubble to make a more livable location for them, "Thank you! Very good bad people." She actually pets on User a bit, squeeking loudly as she does. Actively asking around, Anbessa gets a bit more, something about an unusual agent call being answered by RSX, some Survivor somehow got taken down inside the city.
Tilly Smiles and takes his hand of her shoulder as Sel is handed the plushie, then looking from Sel to Anbessa he asks "so Mira is missing? What happened? Also how exactly did the building get destroyed?" addressing the group in general.
Miora smiled as seh helped Selyra a bit as she seemed to recover, their heading up that way." she points in the same direction as the foxes did, her tail wagging a bit as she gives a whimper. "Otherwise we don't know too much except that they weren't ferals that captured Mira, they used guns and wore clothing. So that helps narrow down who took her a bit at least.
Selyra winces as she sees Anbessa approach, sure that he would be disappointed in her, but his cheerful attitude surprises her. Seeing the plushie, she gasps, taking it immediately. "It's... it's okay! I was worried about this..." she says with relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing as a huge weight lifts off them. Not all is lost, and Mira will be found for sure. "Okay... we can do this, everyone. Let's get our Mira back." she says with determination, tail wagging. "What did you find out from those... ferals?" she asks them, falteringa bit, figuring calling them what was in her mind would be offensive, especially after they had just given them a clue about Mira. Looking over to Tilly, she furrows her brows. "I thought we told you, Tilly. Desmond attacked again, but... this time, he brought a bigger helper. A dragon that just... stomped it all down into nothing, then went after Mira next... she stayed to distract Desmond's forces, and... I don't know what happened after that..." she sighs, looking downward. Hearing Miora's explanation, she furrows her brows some more, then nods. "Alright, thank you sweetie. That doesn't inspire much confidence..." she rubs her chin softly, looking in the direction Miora points.
Anbessa smiles widely as he watches the happy collie cuddle the Venifus plushie. "Remind me to help get that rip in it sewn up." He says, leaning down to plant a kiss on the collie's lips really quick. Looking to Miora, the husky gets a little of the same before he looks towards Tilly, then to Miora and Selly. "Well, from what the latex herm said, a buncha humans dragged off Mira northward. Sounds like that is our best lea-*Ping!*" Anbessa's COM device opens up over his left eye, him blinking as he reads the text... He then quietly smiles. "Well, we got a lead. RSX is answering an unusual call in the city about a survivor that got taken down. We should get moving." The human says, him looking up towards Tilly. "I'll take the front, so do you mind taking up the rear?" He asks the tall Zebra, him taking a moment before he claps his hands suddenly. "Either way, we should hurry up."
The squeeky new inhabatance of the SB's old HQ look very happy as User works to get things up and going again, however, there is nothing new for the adventures as of yet, only things for them to talk among themselves.
