"Ok then, you all seem like interesting folk." He said. He flew after Opal.

I backed into a corner

As I tried to shapeshift to be the size of a normal wolf, as much as I strained, I found couldn't reduce my size at all. I decided to try shifting back into my human form, albeit rather slowly. They first saw me shift from my Dire Wolf form to my well-known Hybrid form, before my muscles started to lose some of their definition, I began to shrink to a closer-to-human size, and my facial features became that of a furry human. But my shifting seemed to stop at the 'Benicio del Toro in Wolfman makeup' stage of transformation, one they'd briefly seen during my shifting.

"Ugh... my body isn't quite letting me shift into a 'normal' form right now, myself... looks like it's Dalu, Garou, and Urshal for now..." I said, referencing the middle three of the spectrum of forms I knew how to take.

I lost the trail and immediately came back. I saw Brian stuck between his human and larger wolf. I attempted to shift back and howled with pain when my muscles rippled and reformed back. I was stuck now in my wolf. The form I had always found comfort in. I laid down on the dirt and wept slightly.

I tried to transform back but couldn't. This must be the effects of the gas I thought.

"I've... I've got a theory..." I began to say, as I looked at LeighAnn and Austin. "I think we're partially locked because, well... our bodies are trying to keep us in the forms that can best fight off the remaining poison... it'll probably wear off in a bit, but chances are it'll speed up if we got a bit of that cure, too."

I hear a sword dragging on the floor. I go into the shadows. ( well at least I'm a black cat)

Axel kept following Opal until she went into a castle and he stopped following.

I listen, but wish I could actually speak. Never have I ever wanted to speak since after my accident that changed me and now I just wanted to ask why was this happening. I thought we threw up the last bit of the poison.

((I'm in a castle how can you see me)) I walk forward to find a man with a long crooked sword "My name is Ichiru now prepare to die" the man said as he swung his sword at me but I dodged it

Ooc: Oh I thought you were in a forest my bad.

OOC: Whoa whoa whoa RECAP?!

(( well now would be a good time to help me)) the man kept swinging his sword and I kept dodging but I couldn't keep this up for long

Axel swooped in. "Eat claws mate!" He dug his claws into the mans head.

I ran and the man dropped to the floor. I ran into the woods and bumped into Chi "Here's the antidote" Chi set down a few small vials and poured one into a little bowl. I smelt it and it was a mint tea. I drank it

Axel flew down and sat beside Opal. I looked at Chi, "Hello," I said.

"We should probably signal to the others where we are... so we can regroup to help Opal." I said, before sharply intaking air through my partial-muzzle/mouth, and letting out a loud howl throughout the forest.

I join in the howl out of normal wolf nature, but my howl sounded more sad and mournful than I meant.

Chi walks away without saying anything and I transform back and pick up the vials. I hear a howl and run to them and hand them each a vial

Axel heard the howls to, and flew to the noise. He eventually saw a human wolf howling.

(Btw don't feel bad Chi hates everyone)

((Please slow down))

I drank some too "Thanks Chi" I said

(Austin I think your lost lol)

I opened the vial that was given to me, and poured a single drop of the antidote onto my tongue. It took a few seconds, but I immediately began to feel better, my nausea completely fading away. "Here, LeighAnn... this feels like the real deal." I said, as I held the antidote bottle, ready to pour some into her mouth if she desired.

Snow falls from the sky "Winter is coming" I say to myself

I open my mouth to let Brian pour the cure in my mouth.

Axel got snow in his eye and it made him distracted, he dropped down in front of the human wolf. "Uh, yea, um, I have a really funny story about this," Axel said nervously. "Please don't kill me."

I poured a more generous portion of my vial into LeighAnn's mouth than I'd given myself, although I didn't use the entire vial's worth of potion. "There, how does that feel?" I asked, hoping that she felt better.

I turned to the newcomer, a curious look in my eyes. "Kill you? Why would I do that?"

(Someone's in love lol)

"Harpys have many, many predators. Anyway, my name is Axel. I met your Opal friend in the forest a while ago." He said.

I climbed up a tree and balanced on one of the longer branches

OOC: Yes please slow down! I am lost!

The cure tasted minty as swallowed it. I back away and nod and try to slowly shift back. I still strained to get full human, but I managed to get to almost human minus my claws, ears, eyes, and tail.

I jump off the branch and start walking home as it's starts snowing

I shifted back and followed Opal "Hey... There's something I want to ask you since we aren't gonna die anymore" I said

"What is it" I ask

OOC: I may drop out. This rp is too fast for comfort. I will still read it though!

Ooc: Awwww to bad. Hopefully someone can fill you in.

((I've been trying to move at a moderate pace))

"Er, don't strain yourself" I said, as I reached out to comfort her, before grabbing my arm in pain. A few of the knives from earlier stuck out, and I hastily pulled them out, while they actually drew blood. I pulled a handkerchief out of my pocket, and tried to awkwardly tie it around the wound, unable to do so on my own.

OOC: Hey, I am busy on today, which livy should know. And I can't reply fast sooo I am dropping out. No one really noticed Maria, and Livy only knows who Rom and Ram are sooo yeah. I give livy permission to play my charters. (Livy is Pumpkin Witch)

Ooc: I say just say your characters were knocked out by the gas. That way the missed all the craziness.

OOC: I won't be able to post at all on Thursday, and by then this rp will reach two pages so no. I don't wanna be in this rp no more. Also Livy, I can show you the YT video of Rom and Ram if you need any help. Or you don't have to play as them.

I take the handkerchief out of his hand and doctors Brian's wounds as best I could with my claws. "That ok," I ask him.

(( ok Maria you can drop out but I will not play as your characters srry))

OOC: Okay....

"Opal... Will you marry me?" I asked, blushing hard

"Er, um... thank you." I said blushing, watching as she tended to my wound. "Er, I would've bandaged it myself, but, well... I'm not really experienced in knot-tying."

After I said that, my face went bright red, as I realized how what I'd said could be interpreted.

I blush slightly. "Sorry," I say and move away and see he is just as red as I am.

"Yes" I say blushing

"I, er... I was talking about the cloth." I said, quickly clearing my throat, before continuing at rapid speed. "Er... um... thanks for the help, and you've got nothing to apologize for, I do. Just me, well... being a doofus. Open mouth, insert foot." I continued, turning away to avoid the awkward eye contact. "But, um... you've been a real help, and... I'd like to be your friend."
