*at hive experimenting hair styles*

TROLLLZZZ

ALRIGHT LET'S GET THIS STARTED PEEPS

Hey Zuel, don't you mean 'SKAIA'? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

YES I DO
AHAHAHAHAHAHA

-sees Aushad's hive, goes a few feet from her window due to the stench-

*Catbatmom suddenly busts outta the very window Kelzul is by*

[:o

-dodges out of the Catbat's way-

*Aushad leans out window* Crap! Come back! *jumps out and chases lusus* > : L

-dashes over to the catbat, grabs her, and lands-

*stops and decides to go on Trollian to talk to Aushad*
SS: hEY aushAD! i haVE beEN workiNG on soME nEW stylES.
SS:wouLD yOU liKE to coME ovER to my plaCE latER?

(You do realize Catbatmom's like the size of a lion right

sorry if i didn't clarify before)

-Yup. She's just really strong. xD -

(Okay then. O_O)
*runs over* Thanks, KeLz! L : Wait, how'd you manage to grab my Lusus if she's around twice your size? *turns to lusus* Don't do that again! Now we have to repLace the window gLass.

*waits for a reply* hm. mayBE shE'S buSY. weLL, sHE usualLY repliES by nOW...*grabs hair bag and leaves before Deermom notices*

EH. STrength, I GUess. IT WAs NO PRoblem. [:)

*Catbatmom swishes her tail and tries to eat Kelzul's hair* Hey. Stop that. KeLzuL's hair isn't supposed to be eaten!

-speaks to Catbatmom- HEy HEy HEy, IT's OKay. DOn't CHew ON MY HAir, OKee? SSsshh. IT's COol. -gently strokes head-

*continues nomming and purrs* -Sigh- She's so stubborn, KeLz. :1
(How're we gonna get to the part with Cray-Cray Petrie?)

(( Um, maybe she'll log on to Trollian and talk to Aushad? idk ))

YEah, IT's OKay. -strokes-

*swats Kelzul's hand away with paw and noms more hair*
(Ummmmmmmm >n<)

-yanks hair from her mouth-

ALright, ALright, YOu LIttle RAscal. -puts her down on the ground, but puts cyan flames on her wings and legs, numbing them-

*Catbatmom growls and looks at Aushad* : L Now I'm going to have to drag her back to my hive........
(Catbatmom's basically Kilala from Inuyasha except she's not twin-tailed, is a lusus, and hoards corpses.)

hEY aushAD! i triED trolliNG yOU bUT-*sees Catbatmom practically on fire* whAT...happenED?

DOn't WOrry ABout IT. I GOt IT.
-heaves Catbatmom on her back and struggles to fly to window-

DOn't BReathe IN, DOn't BReathe IN, DOn't BReathe IN....

*Catbatmom nibbles Kelzul's hair again and purrs* ....Long story, Araxia. :1

uh....okAY. i wAS hopiNG if yOU hAD tHE tiME to haVE me experimeNT on yoUR haIR. inwAS goiNG to aSK petrIE tOO, bUT i haveN'T seEN hER lateLY

(* I was)

Why not? Hmm, I bet Petrie's just being shy as usuaL. You know she has a secret. Since you're concerned, I'LL Log onto TroLLian and see if she's okay.

alrigHT. *looks up at Kelzul* hEY,kelzUL? aRE yOU in neED of heLP?

-lands inside Aushad's hive and plugs her nose- GEez, CAtbat! LAy OFf ON THe COrpses! -puts her on the floor, using her flame numbing spell on her again and flies out-

I GOt IT COvered. NOt THe STench THough. NO OFfense, AUshad.

None taken. Catbat's the one who has the corpses, not me. But I'm used to the smeLL.

'KAy. COol.

SO, I HEard SOmething ABout PEtrie. ARe WE GOnna SEe HEr OR WHat?

I guess. She Lives kinda far from here, though. We can fly there if Araxia and I use my Lusus. Though I doubt Catbat'd be easy to persuade into riding. :1

i couLD riDE on deermOM, bUT yOU knOW hER... shE'D probabLY giVE me anothER scAR

ARen't YOu GUys FOrgetting SOmething? -flutters wings so hard pixie dust starts forming-

That's why I suggested you ride with me on Catbatmom. :1

cAN yOU carRY tHE boTH of us, kelzUL?

ExactLy, KeLz. You can fLy on your own. So you don't need to ride with us. Thought you knew that.

I KNow. I WAs JUst SUggesting I COuld CArry YOu BOth. BUt I GUess I'Ll LIft MY OWn WEight, IF YOu GUys WAnt.

I don't want to burden you. PLus, riding on Catbat's pretty fun! L :

I'Ll CArry ARaxai, IF SHe WIshes. -looks at Araxai-

SInce I DOn't HEr DEermom TO GEt SPooked OR SOmething.

oh, okAY. thEN, i gueSS aushaD'S ridiNG catbatmOM thEN?

I GUess SO. IT's HEr DEscision.

Yep. I'LL get Catbat ready. *walks up to lusus and scratches her behind the ears* Wanna go fLy?

DOn't WOrry, IT'll BE BEhind ME THe WHole WAy. YOu'll BE FIne.

-jumps and starts fluttering wings gently-

*awkwardly gets on Kelzul piggyback style* ehHH...
(Araxia isn't used to this because of her manners she was practically forced to learn lol)

HEy, IT'll BE FIne. TRust ME!

-starts flying upwards and towards Petrie's hive-

WHat DIrection ARe WE GOing, AUshad??

*manages to get on Catbatmom and they start to fly* I'LL show you. It's under a crumbLy oLd bridge.

hER plaCE is a bIT mesSY tOO. weLL, to me at leaST...

ALright, WE'll GO ON. ARaxai, HOld ON TIght.

-starts flying as fast as a human racecar to Petrie's hive-

*squeaks as they start to go faster*

*They get there and all the shiny things that were supposed to be on the roof are recklessly scattered and broken around the hive* Huh. That's weird. Petrie's Lusus usuaLLy has all that stuff on the roof. :1

(Hallo? D : : : : >)

*gets down shaking* n-nevER....agaIN...

(( Sorry, was drawing stuff ))

SOrry, ARax.

LOoks LIke WE're HEre. ANd....THe STuff ON THe GRound....IS THat NOrmal?

*jumps off Catbatmom* Stay here, Catbat. Sit. *looks at hive* Somthing doesn't seem right..... :1

(*Something)

uGh, i doN'T liKE thIS at aLL. nOT oNE bIT. whAT if somethiNG happenED to petrIE?

I'm nervous. She takes care of her Lawn ring. Petrie wouLd never Leave it in a state Like this.

WEird. I'M GOnna TAke A LOok INside. -flies up to the nearest window-

*makes a frightened noise*

DAm.mit.

-flies back towards Aushad and Araxai-

THe WIndow IS SHut BY A MEtal COvering. WHat's GOing ON?

WeLL, at Least that's normaL. Petrie usuaLLy has that metaL up so no one can see into her hive. I'm stiLL concerned, though.... :1

SHould WE STill CHeck UP ON HEr?

ProbabLy. ALL this smashed stuff around her hive is unsettLing.

OKay. GO RIght AHead, SInce I THink PEtrie DOesn't KNow ARaxai ANd I.

*cautiously walks up to door, knocks, and door swings open* The door's.... open? Okay something is seriousLy wrong.

( : : : : T)

-calls out- EVerything OKay?

*eerie silence before the crash of a lamp suddenly and v!olently falling over*

HEllo? AUshad?

(Aushad's still standing at the door) *jumps at noise* Oh! : L This is not good. Something seems very, very wrong. It's so creepy in there. ALL this smashed stuff, the siLence, that noise, I don't think we shouLd mess around.

(Sure! The more trolls to be freaked out by psycho Petrie, the better! > : : : : D)

JEgus, WHat's GOing ON UP THere....

-sees Vulcar walking towards us-
OH, HI VUlcar! OVer HEre!

This is my friend Petrie's hive. We came to check up on her, but I have this feeLing that something's wrong. It's not usuaLLy this messy. ShouLd we go inside?

YEah. LEt's.

Okay... *puts hand on doorkno'b and another crash ensues* Ah! : L

IGnore THe RAcket, AUshad. JUst OPen THe DOor, PLease.

*slowly opens door and steps inside* Petrie? You here? < : L

*scuffling noises*

-pushes the door open more for Aushad-

*looks around and walks in a bit far'ther* It's so dark in here, I can't see. *squints*

*scuffling increases in volume slightly*

HEllo? ANyone HOme?

*Petrie v!olently and loudly swings her crowbar into a small vase on a table, smashing it*

Aushad: !!! D:

-glares at the sh4ttered vase-
UMmm, SAying SOmething WOuld BE ACceptable TOo....

*Petrie smashes another object*

....Petrie, what're you doing? Are you okay? < : L

UHhh... YOu OKay THere....?

*Petrie slams her crowbar into the ground and mutters something unintelligible*

*shrieks and swings crowbar into a wall*

*bashes the wall repeatedly and shrieks louder*

I don't know what's going on. She doesn't act Like this at aLL. Ever. < : L

*Petrie mutters nonsense that gradually crescendoes into another shriek*

YEah. BUt WHat SHould WE DO ABout HEr LIttle TAntrum THere?

-starts walking towards Petrie-

*Petrie screeches loudly and swings at Kelzul with the crowbar, then absconds to the darker part of her hive*

-grabs the crowbar in mid-air, bends it with just her thumb and dashes to where Petrie landed-

-a slam is heard, and shows to Kelzul having her hand around Petrie's throat-

*Petrie digs her nails into Kelzul's arm and screeches*

Don't hurt her! D: She may be unstabLe right now, but you shouLdn't k'iLL her or anything!

I AM. I'M NOt GOnna K!ll HEr. I'M NOt THat INsane.

-eyes flicker red for a split second, turns her attention towards Petrie, sees her blood slowly seeping out-

OH, YOu WAnna PLay 'STruggle', HUh? -eyes glow red for a few seconds, shakes head, releases her grip from Petrie and puts her foot on her back to keep her still-

*Petrie shrieks and tries to crawl out from under Kelzul's foot* I' LL KI LL Y [] U!

YEah, YEah... -puts more pressure on her foot-

*Petrie snarls and scurries to a hiding place in the dark that's also obscured by a large cabinet*

Dang. :1 She sure Likes tiny spaces.

fIne. I'll have to_o manage at thIs dIstance.

-raises arms, lowers head, eyes glow white, and proceeds to read Petrie's mind to find the source of her madness-

It's just psycho_osIs she's go_ot go_oIng o_on sInce she's a mutantblo_oo_od. It's no_ormal fo_or them to_o act thIs way.

well, the o_only thIng that'll wo_ork Is to_o get her mo_oIraIl o_over and pacIfy her. o_other than that, I go_ot no_othIn'.

(Should this RP be taking place after Karane dies, or should we have her alive?)

(( You decide, sis. :3 ))

no_o. I have no_ot.

WEll, THat's A SHame.

(Imma make it harder! Karane's DEAAAAAAAAD > : : : : D)

(( SHET ))

(I guess the emotional trauma of her moirail dying must've been too much for Petrie and she kicked sanity out the window. *COUGHonceagainifpetriehadamatespritthisneverwouldhavehappenedCOUGH*)
But I haven't seen her anywhere since she died. I don't even know where Karane wouLd go to after death. :1

befo_orus, maybe?

I DOubt IT. MAybe SHe WEnt TO A DReam BUbble?

I have no cLue. Maybe she'd go back to her hive?
