The 6 mushrooms are large, just large enough for a person to be able to sit on one. There's no particular order to them, just a circle. And some nights, when the moon is full and large in the sky, 6 people sit at them. If you could call them people. They don't exactly look the part of people, yet look too human to not to be called so. They have what seems to be pointed ears. Their canine teeth are elongated, resembling that of a vampire's. And strangest of all, they seem to glow. A faint white glowing light seems to surround each of them. But this night, one of the seats are empty. The five that are present look agitated and nervous, for some unknown reason. A dark-skinned female paces impatiently, her fingers closed in a fist. [color=#A59492]"Where is she?"[/color] the strange woman growls. [color=#A59492]"She should have been here an hour ago!"[/color] Her voice is sharp and agitated- yet something else is concealed beneath its tone. Fear, perhaps? She certainly does not show any signs of fear, for her eyes are narrowed and teeth bared. A silver-haired man places his large hand on the woman's shoulder, his stern face unflinching. [color=#A59492]"Imra, we must wait for Velatha."[/color]he says, his voice deep and gravelly. [color=#A59492]"You know how she is. Now stop pacing, it's making you seem like a child."[/color] Imra brushes his hand off of her shoulder, sitting down crosslegged on one of the mushrooms. [color=#A59492]"We're supposed to be the Council of Six, not the Council of Five!"[/color] she says, her eyes narrowed. But then her eyes soften a bit, looking up at the silver-haired male. [color=#A59492]"She could be hurt, Tanyl! You know how things have been recently. We've lost so many..."[/color] Her voice seems to trail off, her eyes settling on the ground. The rest have a mournful look on their faces as well. [color=#A59492]"I agree with Tanyl,"[/color] says a pale-skinned woman to the left of Imra. Her white hair stands out against the black of her cloak, creating a look that resembles snow against the black of night. [color=#A59492]"You need to calm yourself, Imra. This sort of thing is what attracts them."[/color] As she says this, her blood-red eyes close wearily. Suddenly, a scream sounds from the surrounding forest. The pale-skinned woman's eyes pop open, and Imra jumps to her feet, ignoring Tanyl's glare. [color=#A59492]"Velatha."[/color] she breathes, and dashes off into the forest. [color=#A59492]"Damnit!"[/color] Tanyl growls, and motions to the red-eyed female. [color=#A59492]"Emiri, go retrieve Imra. You must not let her do anything rash. Qildor, Amren and I will stay here and protect the tree."[/color] Emiri stands, and curses. [color=#A59492]"Why do I always get stuck chasing her down?"[/color] she mutters, and takes off after Imra's fleeting figure. [hr] [center][h1][color=ff0082]Amelie Kendrick[/color][/h1][/center] [i]Beep, beep beep.[/i] goes the alarm. A groan sounds from the bed, and Amelie's head rises from the pillow. She looks around in her haze of sleep, before flopping back onto her pillow. the alarm continues with its incessant beeping, and she groans again. [color=ff0082]"Shut the fuck up, will you?"[/color] she mutters, searching for the snooze button. But she had torn the button out of that alarm years ago, and all that remained of it was a mess of upturned wires. She admitted that it wan't exactly the [i]safest[/i] of things to do, but what else was she supposed to do? So when Amelie touched the wires, and then gave a startled yelp. She jerked up, her eyes wide. [color=ff0082]"Damnit!"[/color]she yelled. [color=ff0082]"I really need to get that patched up..."[/color] Amelie hit the off button on her alarm, and stretched out, yawning. After grudgingly getting out of bed, she proceeded to do her morning routine in the bathroom. You know, showering, brushing your hair, gettign dressed, all of that good stuff. When she emerged from her room, she was wearing a plaid blouse complete with dark purple jeans and her favorite pair of tennis shoes. She was all ready to face the day's challenges, and with her attitude she was likely to succeed. The first place Amelie went was the kitchen- like usual. She cracked a whole bunch of eggs for herself and her teammates. The extra would be for leftovers, of course. She took some turkey bacon out of the fridge, and began frying that too. Then some potatoe,s along with some delctable spices. By now, the scent of the delicious meal was wafting throughout the base. She hummed while she worked, flipping the things every so often. [color=ff0082]"I'm making breakfast, guys!"[/color] she shouted into the hallway. [hr] [hider=OOC Tags][@FallenTrinity],[@VampireOracle],[@Aeternum],[@Kyrisse],[@Musaki Hajime][/hider]
