Loki's Rule ~ An Literate Avenger's Roleplay

Aaron's once determined face turned to a look of confusion when Camilla suggested her suggestion. "Are you crazy? I never get lost! ...but I could really go for some food right now." He shrugged, giving in to Camilla's plan. "I'm going to hunt!" Aaron grabbed a stick and set off into the forest, clearly having no idea how to hunt as he was making every loud noise he possibly could.

dada_dragon • 15 June 2013 at 11:01 PM

Before Ray could answer, something caught Aykay's attention. Something in the trees behind them was making a whole lot of noise...

She spun around and leaped at it, transforming in midair. She hit it full force and pinned it to the ground before realizing...

Aaron?

She changed back, still pinning him to the ground.

"What are you trying to pull here???" She yelled, then remembering she was near 'civilization', she lowered her voice. "Why are you here? Where are the others?"

Camilla's lips tilted down into a frown at Aaron's retreating back. They couldn't just leave the "Iron Man" back there! He would be all alone... The blonde turned away from Aaron before running back into the clearing and tugging at the man's sleeve with widened eyes. "Come on..." she begged before turning and running back towards the direction Aaron headed. It didn't take long for her to find him.

The second the blonde had the boy in her sights, a white form pounced out of nowhere and landed on him. The fingers from her life draining hand twitched at the threat that the tiger posed, before she relaxed once the tiger transformed into a human, much to her suprise. These must be the friends Aaron had been determined to protect.

Camilla stood back and watched, not knowing what to do, before she walked over to Aaron. The girl silently nudged the tiger-girl with a pout. Once that was done with, she reached down and held Aaron's hand, attempting to pull him up even though the tiger-girl was still half-on him.

@dada_dragon @bunnyshadow

So much had happened in the few split moments since Aaron ventured into the forest that he was momentarily paralyzed.

"Wha..? Pull what? There's no levers. Who the heck are yo-Aykay! I heard your cry! I mean, roar! Are you okay?! Well, I never really intended to be here, exactly, but you know, stuff happens. The others? Margot went to the tower and Iron Man's just at the other edge of the forest here. Annnnd that's everyone. Am I missing any other questions?" He smiled at Camilla, and took her hand to get up. He brushed himself off and meekly waved to Ray. "Oh and this is Camilla. I have no clue who she is."
Noticing that Pyra was half-dead leaning against a tree, Aaron rushed to her side. He placed his hands on either side of her head gently and closed his eyes, focusing all his energy through his pulsing blood veins to hers.
Beat.... beat.... beat...
The veins on his forehead became clearly visible.

___ • 17 June 2013 at 10:19 PM

Beat. Beat. Beat.
Aaron tried to breathe deeply, but he hiccupped.
BeatBeatBeat.
Pyra's colour returned to her face. Her jaw stopped being slack. Blood started dissolving away. Her cuts and scratches healed completely.
Beat, beat, beat.
She was back to normal.

Aaron finally let go of her and nodded to her, putting her into a deep sleep. He fell onto his back, completely exhausted.

dada_dragon • 17 June 2013 at 10:51 PM

Aykay growled in frustration. It seemed that Aaron and Ray had the same attention span, but she couldn't really be angry at either of them... it was her own idiot temper...

Next thing she knew, Aaron was by Pyra, seemingly focused on something. What was... oh right. He was the one with the healing powers.

"Oh yeah... the roar... It's kinda just... I dunno." she mumbled, not sure how to explain herself.

She turned to the girl.

"So how'd you get dragged into this freak show?" she asked.

She barely registered that Aaron had finished and was now laying on his back.

One day he wasn't going to get up if it wore him out this badly...

Camilla smiled back at Aaron once he got up. Blaaah. He was HEAVY. She watched with wide eyes as he kneeled down in front of a hurt girl leaning against a tree. The blonde stared in wonder as the cuts and bruises on the girl's face slowly began to heal. Before long, she looked untouched.

Suddenly, the tiger girl's words diverted the blonde's attention. "Freak show?!" Camilla gasped, her mouth opening into an 'o'. "I didn't know Loki had these!" She crossed her arms, clearly upset. "Why didn't anyone tell me?" she said, as her pout once again appeared on her face.

dada_dragon • 18 June 2013 at 1:35 AM

At the sound of Loki's name, Aykay froze. This girl was talking like she believed them to be some band of loyalist entertainers... She certainly didn't sound like she was against Loki... so...

Aykay swiftly transformed, growling and bristling her fur. She slowly approached her, watching for any sudden movements, like a weapon being pulled out...

This girl could be a spy... someone sent in to gather intel and who would lure them towards a waiting squadron of chitauri, which would seem ridiculous except that it had once been her job among the rebel hunters...

In any case, she certainly didn't trust this new girl...

Camilla squeled as the tiger girl transformed to a... tiger! Her mouth turned down into a frown when the tiger began to growl, it's fur sticking up and making it appear more menacing than it already was.

She shrieked when the tiger began to move towards her, before holding out her arms to cover her face. Her sleeves fell back to reveal the creamy skin of one arm and the white glove on the other.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 12:49 AM

Aykay looked at the glove on her one arm. It was an odd thing to do. She wasn't sure what to make of it, but she could figure that out later.

She growled and charged. She didn't want to injure her, just immobilize her. She could restrain herself when she wanted to. If she didn't have to be violent, she wouldn't.

@bunnyshadow

Camilla screamed, the high pitched note echoing in the air long after she ended it. The blonde was almost unprepared for a situation like this. Almost unprepared. She pulled out a jagged piece of metal from her pocket, holding it out in front of her for defense.

"Stay Away!" She warned.

If Camilla couldn't stop the tiger with this, then she'll have to use her last resort- her power.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 1:42 AM

Aykay growled. She had faced worse than scrap metal. She was a little surprised that the girl would fight back. It was pretty gutsy to face a tiger with a makeshift weapon.

Aykay watched the weapon carefully, fairly convinced that this girl was one of Loki's spies, sent to infiltrate their group and break them from the inside.

A small portion of her brain insisted that she was just being paranoid, but she ignored it. She resumed her charge at the other girl.

Camilla shrieked again. "Help!" She called out to no one in particular. Though in a paranoid mind lie Aykay's it may seem as if she was calling for backup. The tiger charged at the blonde, and she barely ducked out of the way, the animal's guy scraping her legs.

Camilla backed away from the tiger. "Why are you attacking me?" She asked, her large eyes widened in pure confusion and curiosity. "I didn't do anything wrong!"

skylark • 19 June 2013 at 1:12 PM

Aaron heard multiple screams and Aykay's shifting, in no particular order. He breathed a deep breath, and wiped his very sweaty forehead. Sitting up slowly, he glanced at the two girls over his shoulder.

With a small grunt, Aaron resumed his double checking of Pyra, figuring that if Camilla couldn't survive Aykay's *not* deathly prowling, she really shouldn't be allowed alive, much less in their group. He wanted to make sure Pyra had no internal bleeding, as he often missed that crucial process when he was overwhelmed. He prodded her stomach, and listened to her even breathing. Settling on the fact that she just needs sleep and was totally fine save for a few tiny scars, Aaron brushed off his hands as he stood up.

Making sure that nothing too important happened between the chicks, Aaron quickly built a small fire to roast Aykay's freshly caught meat.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 1:43 PM

Aykay growled and resumed her human form. The lack of sleep must have been getting to her. Otherwise, she might have kept level-headed and would not have outright attacked someone she had just met because she had mentioned Loki in such a way that implied (but certainly didn't guarantee) the she was a loyalist...

"I've dealt with a lot over the last couple of days." She growled, keeping her guard up. "And I don't trust you."

She looked the girl up and down. She didn't look threatening, but of course this was coming from a scrawny blonde girl who could turn into a tiger, so she was not fooled by looks much anymore.

"Why are you out here anyhow?" She growled.

Aaron had gotten up and started a fire. The smell of cooking meat had long since lost its appeal to her. The tiger liked raw meat... But Aaron couldn't eat raw meat, so that was fair...

Camilla placed the jagged metal back into her pocket once the tiger girl morphed back into her girl form. "No one asked you to trust me." she said, tilting her head to the side. She arched an eyebrow at the tiger girl's question, though she barely understood it because of the way she growled it out.

"I want to keep that to myself." The blonde replied. "Wouldn't you want to, too if I asked you the same question?"

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 4:03 PM

Aykay glared at her.

"I'm out here because I've escaped from prison and broke into Stark Tower and this forest is the most convenient hiding place in a thousand miles." she answered.

She came up closer to her and looked once more at her single glove. Maybe it was her paranoia and lack of sleep, but it seemed awfully suspicious to her. What was she hiding...?

"I have nothing to hide." she said, reaching for the glove. "But maybe you do."

Camilla stepped bak as the tiger girl only came closer. The blonde pulled her gloved arm back, before stepping furthur away. "You really don't want to do that." She said softly, cradling her covered arm in her other. Even after the way the tiger girl treated her, the blonde didn't want to harm anyone unless she had to.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 4:57 PM

@bunnyshadow

Aykay was really suspicious now. She was definitely hiding something and her pulling her arm back confirmed that the one glove was not just a fashion statement...

"Why are you really out here, girl." she asked.

She reached for the glove once again. Maybe she wasn't thinking clearly. She wasn't nearly as intimidating as a human, but she was too worn out to care.

skylark • 19 June 2013 at 5:44 PM

@dada_dragon

Aaron raised his eyebrows in concern at Aykay's curiousness. He muttered "Curiousity killed the cat" under his breath, not really aware that neither of them would hear him. He pulled some raw meat onto a stick and held it over the puny fire, watching the two girls. Popcorn popped into his head for some reason, and he started craving it. He hasn't had it for years due to ration and lack of edible food, and his appetite for meat had dwindled a bit since he has been with the rebels. Ah! Yes, he thought of popcorn cause the talking between the girls was edging on a catfight.

Camilla sighed in defeat as she pulled back fromthe tiger girl once again. "Look." she said. "It's none of your buisness why I'm here, but for now, I can tell you that I am neither Loki, or Sylvia's ally." The blonde was getting tired of all this talking, and thinking. She closed her eyes before opening them after a few seconds. "There's nothing under the glove but my hand and arm.." she lied convincingly on her part.

Camilla reached towards her shoulder, where the glove ended. Using her right hand, she slowly rolled the glove down to her wrist before pulling it off. The blonde flexed her hand and held it up for everyone to see. "It's just my hand, alright?" The girl added.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 8:18 PM

@bunnyshadow @skylark @asi @leafpelt

She nodded. She was still suspicious, but there was no way she could prove anything so she would just have to take her word for it until she had reason to believe otherwise.

"Fine." she said. "I believe you... at least that you aren't with Loki."

She walked over to the nearby creek and stuck her feet in, happy to feel the coolness of the water over her bare feet...

She gingerly removed the bandage from her burnt shoulder. It had blistered, but it could have been much worse. Zoe's balm was pretty incredible... She flinched as she poured the creek water from her cupped hand onto the burn. It stung, but it was nice and cool.

She looked back at the others, suddenly remembering Ray. He hadn't said much since Aaron showed up. She'd forgotten that he was there. She also wondered where frost and her two tag-alongs had gone as well, come to mention it...

bunnyshadow • 19 June 2013 at 9:24 PM

@dada_dragon @skylark
~~~
Camilla let out a tiny huff of relief when the tiger girl seemed satisfied with her answers. She slid the glove back on before anything bad could happen, before turning and walking over to Aaron. He had been the only nice one to her so far. The blonde sat down across the fire from the boy, before setting her chin on her hand and staring at him with eyes filled with curiousity.

skylark • 19 June 2013 at 9:54 PM

@bunnyshadow @dada_Dragon

Aaron aww'd as the upcoming fight never happened. He shrugged and happily ate some neatly cook meat. "Thanks Aykay! You're still a rockin' hunter!" Aaron half-yelled to her.
Noticing that Camilla was watching him, he smirked and decided to try and gross her out, although something in the back of his head said he wouldn't be able to. First, he rapidly ate an entire stick of meat, drank from the stream for 5 minutes straight, and then belched the old star spangled banner.

bunnyshadow • 19 June 2013 at 10:02 PM

@skylark @dada_dragon

Camilla continued watching Aaron as he ate a entire stack of meat withough pausing to breathe, drank in the stream for an unbelievably long time, and burped a song. Her lips were tilted downwards into a frown at the sight before her, but also tilted upwards in a smile at the hilarity of the chubby boy. All in all, she discovered that the name of the tiger girl was in fact, Aykay, and that she should stay away from Aaron whenever he was around food.

dada_dragon • 19 June 2013 at 11:37 PM

Aykay made her way back to the fire, leaving the bandage off. She sat down away from the other two, wanting to keep her distance.

She gave Aaron a sideways look as he proceeded to be a disgusting pig.

"Seriously, are you five?" she asked.

She stared at the fire for a while, ignoring everything until a rustling sound distracted her.

"Did you guys hear that?" she asked.

She turned around. Something was moving towards them...

A chitauri?

bunnyshadow • 20 June 2013 at 2:03 AM

"Yes." Camilla said. "It's probably just the..." She trailed off when her gaze lifted to see a chitauri trekking towards them. The blonde jumped up, her makeshift metal blade in hand. Her cheery outer shell dissolved at the sightt of the creature. The creatures that took away her brother.

Camilla let out a war-like scream as she jumped ul and ran at it, her eyes burning with anger. "Die!" She yelled before swinging the several-inches long jagged metal. "You ugly... Digusting.... Thing!" Camilla swung 4 times after the first, once for every word.

dada_dragon • 20 June 2013 at 6:13 AM

Aykay immediately jumped to her feet. The chitauri was approaching them and Camilla had just begun waving her silly piece of metal again. She was about to tell her how useless it would be, but then she'd took a closer look at the approaching chitauri.

"Camilla! Wait!" She called out, getting between the two of them. "Taku, what are you doing here?"

@bunnyshadow
@skylark

bunnyshadow • 20 June 2013 at 2:37 PM

It was Camilla's turn to be feisty now. The blonde turned on Aykay and threw the make-shift dagger at the tiger-girl, not caring if she got hurt or not. She laughed haughtily.

"You know it?" she asked rhetorically. "And I thought I was supposed to be the untrustworthy one."

dada_dragon • 20 June 2013 at 4:36 PM

Aykay had been looking away when she had thrown it. It hit her arm and fell, leaving a long but shallow cut.

"What are you trying to do?" she asked. "This one's a friend... or at least I think he is..."

Taku made a grunting noise, then began talking to Aykay. Aykay listened and frowned, then began to look anxious. When Taku finished, she had her head in her hands.

She walked over to the creek and kicked the water in frustration. As if she didn't have enough to worry about.

"That idiot!" she yelled. "What was he thinking???"

Taku walked over to the fire and proceeded to stomp it out, making metallic noises at Aaron.
