Talesworth

[FoxTrott]

Fox was still asleep by the time she and Crow arrived in Talesworth. Coming back from the dead was emotionally hard work, after all, so she would take all the rest she could get.

[Dokeshi]

He smiled and kissed her forehead, whether she liked it or not he was about to carry her again, after all they needed to get off, he gently hooked his arms under her and started to carry her to his home.

[FoxTrott]

Fox opened her eyes once she felt movement other than the swaying of a sea vessel. She found herself in Crow's arms, and would have protested if she were not so tired. Fox yawned, and fell back asleep.

[Dokeshi]

He smiled and kissed her again, they were soon at his house and he laid her down in his bed, no doubt it would be more comfortable then the ones on the ship.

[FoxTrott]

Fox drifted back to consciousness around the time Crow laid her on the bed. She opened her eyes, and yawned. How pitiful she must have looked, curled up like a child, with dirty clothes, unkempt hair, and no glasses. The ex-leader sighed.

"You don't have to babysit me if you don't want to," she said quietly, still slightly tired, "I could've been capable of walking here, you know... Maybe..."

[Dokeshi]

"I don't consider it babysitting, I enjoy spending time with you, even if you're peacefully sleeping in my arms." He kissed her on the forehead.

[FoxTrott]

Fox smiled peacefully, and closed her eyes. "You're still a leader, though," she pointed out, "You have things to do, places to be... I-I don't want to be a burden, really..." Fox yawned again, and rolled on her side.

[Dokeshi]

"You being here just means I will enjoy my slacking off...it's not like I would be doing much anyway, I can just spend it with a beautiful woman now."

[FoxTrott]

Fox, eyes still closed, blushed. "Thank you, Crow," she muttered, "for everything..." Fox was back to sleep in no time.

[Dokeshi]

He smiled and decided he should probably get some sleep too, he quietly crawled into the bed next to her and went to sleep with his arms wrapped around her.

Cristel was bundled in the absolute warmest clothes Panem had to offer, but that wasn't saying much. A simple hoodie and a thin jacket that happened to reflect body heat and was waterproof, and sweat pants that bunched at the ankles so no heat escaped, gloves and winter boots. Panem isn't Arctic cold.
So Cristel was freezing, but with an Arctic wolf she was riding as her companion, she knew she'd make it at least without frostbite. Hypothermia was a little more worrisome, but this was the only place Crow's people hadn't inhabited. Knowing Sar, It made sense for the familliar leader to take it as her own. Cristel clutched the blueprints in her hand tightly, and Yaz moved foreward. They would find Sar's people. They had to find Sar.

((No raven, that's just the one cavewhere Sar is doing most of her science. She's not looking for anywhere specific, just looking for wherever sar's people are. they don't all live in the one cave. ))

Talesworth was a much different place than Forli.

For one, it was freezing cold.

The leader formerly known as Madame Fox looked at the meager gathering of survivors. She had come here immediately after waking up this morning. The majority were adults well beyond her age, but they still looked up to her for guidance. There were a handful of small children clinging to their parents, desperately fighting off colds. Two young men stood out from the crowd; they were around Fox's age, and instead of lamenting about the demise of Forli, they were throwing snowballs at each other.

Fox scooped up a snowball in her new mittens, and nailed one of the two in the back of the head. This signaled the crowd to stop mingling and listen. With all eyes on her, Fox began.

Her speech was essentially along the lines of "Forli is gone, but we're still here, and we can rebuild." They were told that, until it was safe to return, they were to carry out their lives in Talesworth. Full financial support would be available as long as they obeyed the law. Once Fox finished, the crowd dispersed, until the two snowballers remained. They walked up to their leader.

"I had to figure out some way to gather everyone's attention," she apologized.

"He's used to getting hit by girls," one of the two said. Before the other could protest, he continued. "I'm Vince, that's Ericken, and we want to be your personal guard."

Fox crossed her arms, and looked critically at the two. They were both tall, but neither had a particularly imposing physique. Vince had short, spiky, dark brown hair and a slightly muscular figure, but he didn't look very athletic. Ericken was long-haired, fair-skinned, lanky--everything about him screamed "cushy desk job," not "willing to risk death to protect someone."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for guards right now," Fox replied after a minute of scrutiny, "Or soon, for that matter. Just, please, go along and do something not dangerous."

"But we can help!" Ericken insisted, "Who knows what dangers lurk in the corners of Talesworth?"

"Or the corners of Crow's house?" Vince added.

"Or the corners of your own bed, which I wouldn't mind exploring with your guidance?"

Fox scowled. "I'd want protection, considering how filthy you're acting," she said, close to slapping Ericken, "But I don't need any, especially from you. This place is perfectly hospitable."

"Hostile, not hospitable," Vince responded. He pushed Ericken aside, and came closer to Fox. "Have you seen the robots Crow employs? Why would you need something so dangerous in such a peaceful place?" Ericken opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, and closed it.

"I can take care of myself," insisted Fox. At that, she walked away, rubbing her temples.

Vince glared at Ericken. "You ruined it," he said once Fox was out of earshot, "We could've gotten in on the ground floor of the future's politics, but you had to ruin it. Nice one, stupid."

"We could just shadow her," suggested Ericken quietly, "And once something happens, show her what we can do."

"... I retract my last statement. Sounds like a plan."

After looking most of the day, she didn't find even the faintest trace of Sar's civilization. "We have to camp here for the night," Cristel looked down at the wolf. "I think I'm gonna call you Yazermen, that okay?' The wolf nodded. "Okay Yazermen it is!"
Cristel and Yazermen dug a deep trench in the snow to form a sort of small cave to keep warm, and slept next to each other in side until morning.
"Hey," Cristel heard an unfamilliar voice. "Wake up," Cristel opened her eyes.
It was morning, and she was freezing cold. She realised it was Yazermen who had spoken. "Oh, Yaz! You can talk now!" Cristel said happily. "Alright shall we resume our search?" Yaz nodded.

Their boards moved fast, no animals needed to pull them now. After much work and planning they had made a trail for the boards. Enough magnetic force to keep them up and moving at a pace their fastest runners couldn't keep up with. They had been called out for and intruder had been caught on their land. As they got closer and closer to the area. Following by there side was one of the few animals that could keep up with the boards. The fervals, huge dog like creatures that had been tamed, though still having their killer instincts. They came to a hole in the ground where a female and a wolf were. "Dezda!"The male rider in the front of the three person group yelled. His ferval took the demand of attack and tackled the smaller creature to the ground. Waiting for the 'Kill' command. "why are you here!" The man commanded in English, knowing it was the widely spoken language of this world.
