"Meh. Still doesn't beat the time I saw that weird tentacle monster crossing the road."

@Rikeno

to be fair, dragons are monsters

For the first time, Hugo notices that Skylar is a shapeshifter. He stops running and claps, momentarily distracted from the chase.

"Very impressive!"

Balbasorus Academy

That works for me.

"Rikeno headbutts through a huge boulder, just because he can."

Hugo looked up at the clouds for a moment, just in time for a splatter of raindrops to catch him in the glasses. He blinked annoyedly, then shielded his pipe with his free hand. The smoke shifted from pink and green to steadily greyer shades as the raindrops hammered down.

"I am but a simple bloke.
All I need is one good smoke.
Begone, water, and bother my pipe no more."

The pink and green smoke still in the air whirled back down to Hugo's pipe and formed a protective shield, locking the raindrops out of it. Hugo then relit the pipe and continued in his chase. He puffed out of existence and popped back up next to Rikeno in a burst of grey.

Every time Hugo falls behind, he closes his eyes and takes a deep drag of smoke before speaking seriously and forcefully.

"In their time of need, I follow,
As danger is nothing a good friend would allow."

With a puff of green and pink smoke, he vanishes, and in another puff of smoke, he reappears with the rest of the group. The ghostly light follows.

Balbasorus Academy

I'd be up for some rain.

"Guess that settles it. We're all going with you, then."

Hugo taps his foot impatiently as he watches the treeline. Some light humming brings forth a ghostly spotlight, casting a deep blue glow across the landscape, scattering fluorescent purple shadows behind objects. The light seems to be coming from somewhere above Hugo.

He walks at a brisk pace, choosing not to run after Rikeno, but rather to merely follow. He can catch up easily enough anyway.

Hugo nods appreciatively at Skylar and slowly starts following the trail of goop. Just then, though, a loud noise catches his attention, and he looks to a falling tree.
