Ever write a few chapters of something you're really excited about, then a few days later reread it and it's boring as hell? :D

There was a shooting at an art show where I had a painting hanging. I'm so shook.

"You forgive me?" the fairy squeaked, fluttering and flashing in front of Nyte's helmet. "You forgive me?!" he screeched. "You're sorry?!" He stiffened and shook, his little fists eager for something to strike, some logical flaw in this metal monster's words. "You ... you!! You wouldn't know about beautiful views! You wouldn't know, you don't understand! You're made of metal! The most unnatural and ugly thing in existence -- armor and blades and machines made for killing and ripping and crushing. Peace, you say! Do you realize what you are?!"
Another BOOM sent the fairy darting back into the bush. For a moment all Nyte would see was the pulse of light from his wings, filtered through the tiny leaves.
After awhile -- after the fairy had had time to think, to realize that this metal monster had just accepted her fate with no argument nor anger -- his voice emerged again, hesitant and sour. "...Could you really put a stop to it?"
He finally emerged again, glaring at Nyte with a hesitant sort of half-trust. Sending her to stop the thing sounded like a far better idea than a useless statue in the woods.
"Fine." He lifted his arms, and the rust began to melt away from Nyte's joints. "I'll give you one chance."
Meanwhile, Sunny stood in the path of the mechanical spider-house's destruction, staring up at the shifting and creaking thing. Laphi held a card into her view -- the wise figure of an old robed man, glinting with magic -- and her eyebrows raised in confusion at his words.
"Telepo --?!"
Suddenly she was falling, crashing through the canopy of scraping branches and yellow leaves, toward the shifting and tilting roof of the spider-house below. Laphi fell alongside her, but his eyes were closed and his body was limp. Her heart in her throat, Sunny grabbed him and spun them midair to place herself between him and the landing. Together they crashed through the splintering roof, and Sunny somehow caught a beam inside with her one free hand.
For a moment she dangled from the ceiling beam, gripping Laphi by the back of his shirt while the new hole in the roof rained splinters down on their heads and the whole house tossed and tilted around them. She looked down, saw that the floor wasn't too far from Laphi's feet, and let him go before she dropped down beside him.
"Laphi, oy!" Sunny knelt beside him, a hand along his face, worried that he'd hit his head or overextended himself with -- what had even just happened? Teleportation?!
She yelped and flung an arm around Laphicet when the house gave a sudden jerk to one side. The smashed remains of a dining table and chairs, shards of plates and rolling cups skidded across the ruined floor. Above, tied to the beams, were swinging drying herbs and animal skins. It looked as if someone had lived here until only recently -- but there was no time to think about it while Laphi was in danger of being struck by skidding furniture.
Sunny hefted him up onto her shoulder and very slowly attempted to walk across the floor while it jolted and tilted. She somehow made it to the front door without getting hit too badly -- but once she'd stepped out next to the tied-up armor, she had a dizzying look at the ground below.
She wrapped an arm around the porch banister, staring at the ground far below, Laphi gripped in her other arm. Nevermind the armor -- how were they even going to get down?!

@Jade113 @Tenma Tendo An obvious plot advantage (and support of the fairy's story) just occurred to me and I'm making a small change to the previous post: metal legs, not wood! ;)
@bloonewb Heya just so I know what to do, does Riley want to go up or down -- and how far is she willing to go before stopping? Is she going for the bottom/top, or the first opening she sees, or a few floors?

@NewShoesForever Kisses/Ashorn is amazing and totally unexpected, hahaha! Absolutely approved, go ahead and post him up on the characters tab!
Just for my own reference, does he have any powers or abilities in his current form? Let me know here or in PM! :)
It might be a bit before you'll have the opportunity to post -- we're introducing characters one at a time, and we're only on the second as of now, but I really hope the individual adventures will be worth it. Definitely feel free to hang out in the OOC until then!

The fairy yelped at being addressed directly and spun backwards -- but soon he regained his composure and flew directly into Nyte's face (well, her helmet) where he hovered like a very angry sparkly dragonfly.
"You're not going anywhere!" the fairy screeched, doubly determined to rust every joint shut on Nyte's armor. "This is revenge! This is vengeance! Maybe you specifically didn't crush our home, but you can pay for the crimes of your kind! Stand in this spot forever, where you'll be a warning to the rest!"
"There are more guardians?" asked Sunny -- just before a rumbling BOOM thundered through the forest; birds flapped and squawked out of the treetops and a small herd of three-eyed deer leaped past the vagrants away from danger. The trees leaned and rustled. The fairy spooked and cowered within a bush.
Sunny grinned savagely -- the noise came from the northwest.
"That's where we're headed!" she called, and with an eager and reckless leap she bounded off through the brightening woods toward the noise, Laphicet in tow -- but the forest-guardian was now far too slow to follow.
Meanwhile the fairy had reemerged from the flowered bush to glare hatefully at Nyte. "You see, you see!" he spat. "Nothing but destruction! You'll pay! I'll turn you entirely to rust!"
Northwest of that spot, Sunny skidded to a halt when she spotted something big moving between the trees. It loped and leaned as it gamboled awkwardly along, cracking branches and scattering wildlife as it picked shakily along on a dozen skittering, whirring metal legs. Mounted precariously atop the legs was a huge log house with broken eaves and crooked sides, tossing and flopping this way and that as it was carried along.
Lashed to a pole on the front porch of the walking house was a shining full set of armor. It was easy to see how the fairy might have been confused.
The legs lost their balance again and slammed suddenly into a tree; the tree cracked and fell in a whoosh and a thunder of destructive noise.
"Ah! You see that, Laphi?" Sunny called over the clatter. "Armor! We just gotta get up there and get that armor!"

Sunny crouched low to watch Laphi's reading for a second time, her arms folded on her knees and a look of wonder on her face. It was still fascinating to see his eyes change, to hear the shift in his voice; it sent a chill down her spine. She wanted very much to reach out and touch the pretty and powerful cards -- but her instinct told her this would be a very bad idea. Maybe sometime she would ask Laphi if she could handle them.
When he was finished, Sunny smiled fondly to see that he was nearly asleep -- that he'd sacrificed so much precious energy even though he was so frightened of the monster before them.
She opened her mouth to thank him -- but instead a few cat-puns dropped unexpectedly from the imposing forest-spirit. Sunny snerked and snorted, a hand over her mouth while she grinned like an idiot. "Apawlogies!" She couldn't help herself, and giggled til her eyes watered.
After a moment, though, she'd composed herself enough to lay a hand on Laphi's shoulder. "We should find us some decent food, too, huh?" The bits and snacks from the tower chest had all gone, and even Sunny knew not to trust the odd local fruits and mushrooms that bloomed on the twisting trees. "Wanna come with me? C'mon." If Laphi would allow it, Sunny would carry him on her back to let him sleep while they moved -- this was no place for a nap.
She tilted her head up to the forest-guardian with a confident smirk. "But the task is to retrieve your new armor! We'll see it through to the end -- I don't like leaving things half-finished." She glanced up at the direction of the sun, found Northeast, and started hiking resolutely through the woods.
She hadn't gone more than a few steps before a small, quiet whispering caught her ear.
Nyte might notice her armor decaying even more, growing more layers of rust as the whispering continued -- an enchantment of age and erosion.
Something flashed within a flowering bush: little reflective buzzing wings, belonging to a little fairy with a hateful expression on his tiny face. Fervently he cast the spell to grow rust on Nyte's armor.

@Jade113 @Tenma Tendo It's just occurred to me that so far we've collected the cowardly lion and the tin man.
