It was just another paranoid day in Synigrad. The stationed scientist there was scanning through all of her things so to make sure there was no black...well.. anything that might upset the locals; especially so due to the fact she was stationed so close to their town and market place area. Shuffling back tot her little fold out desk in her canvas skin tent, she sat down to her laptop with a cup of very creamed coffee. I'm starting to miss black coffee she thought as she grimaced at her nearly white coffee. t was in this moment that she nearly jumped out of her skin as her laptop began beeping and vibrating quite loudly on the bamboo table. Flinging her cup of coffee clear across her little tent and flying backwards out of her seat the near by market people all paused to watch the mysterious tent that was now full of crashing and cracking noises. It was as though the tent would fall apart under all the havoc undoubtedly inside.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF-!!!" -crash boom slide, something bulged from one side of the tent and then managed to shove even more stuff in it's direction before it's support polls snapped. Villagers began to mumble to one another suspiciously a bit before the destroyed tent fell silent and unmoving. The little show seemed to bring a lot of curious eyes. Emerging first was the silver laptop, the light on the top of it still flashing wildly and the hands clutching it shaking with it's vibration. A few gasps sounded as she came out. some how there was mug all over her face and white coat, her arms were drenched from creamed coffee along with her pants- apparently having hit her coffee pot some time in the panic. Too bewildered to come to her aid the villagers watched her hobble out clutching her laptop still. Coming before her on lookers, hair in her face, glasses eschewly hanging from an ear threatening to fall off she held up the laptop to them all, "There Gifters in this area!..A day late but...GIFTERS!" She giggled almost derangely, "c-come and get your licenses... any-anyone that's a trainer that is! hehe!" it almost seemed like she'd been laking sleep.. then again- she probably was. from the 4th of April to the 6th it would have been for this poor excited scientist.

(As well as my character character, Destiny) [/code] "Excuse me.." The Lollia spoke, landing on the ground right next to the scientist. She had seen the tent shaking and had come down to make sure everything was alright. "Is there anything I could to to help you?" In her arms were a few plastic eggs, and on her back was a tiny little Naos. They had been on their way home so they could show Karnel what they had found when they happened upon the sight. "Ah! There you two are!" a humanoid girl with lavender fox ears and tail spoke out, running over to the Lollia and Naos. "I was starting to get worried when you two didn't come back right away. I figured you'd only be gone an hour or two." Her ears then flew up upon hearing the other yell about Gifters. Well... her last hunt for them had turned out to have rather bad luck, so why not try again? She turned to the scientist and gave a small smile. "I'd like a license please."

The scientist gave a eyebrow raised smile and a nod of the head, "wonderful!" dropping her shaking laptop on the ground, after getting tired of it's nonsense, she shoved a hand into her large jacket pocket pulling out some laminated licenses, "get started as soon as possible I'd suggest! The sighting registered a little past this area of the forest" she said pointing a jumpy hand in the direction of forestry located behind her heap of what once was a tent. "Even if no one else comes it's good to get a head start, hehe." she smiled, her eyes acting a little too wide as though insistent on her staying awake.

Gray strolled up to the desk, twitching her tufted tail. "Excuse me, but can I get a license please?" At last, she was going to get a chance to find one of these adorable creatures. After missing two sightings, she could finally find her own! Hopefully, there wouldn't be only two Gifters appearing.

Pown, Queen and Malice Well, well, well, this was interesting enough! Okay, not really, but anything to skip out on his assigned chores of shopping. Nearby was a man dressed in a black trench coat with a matching top hat sitting atop his head, a nearly all white Yumi sitting at his feet. Thankful for the purple shirt and all, as it helped the locals not to be bothered by the rest of the man's ensemble. He'd been doing his rounds of shopping, reluctantly, that 'Miss' Toxic had sent him on at the marketplace. He'd been one of the several onlookers as the tent sort of exploded with noise, and watched as the woman crawled out of it. 'Gifters, huh?' Well, they weren't Lollies, which was good enough for him. He didn't want to continue shopping, and this was a good enough excuse to pass along to that woman so he'd get a break in his almost natural habitat. Yes, forests were his preference. Pown strolled up to the disheveled lady, snickering to himself at her appearance. "Ah, may I have one of those licenses?" He asked in his most polite manner after choking down his amusement. Suddenly, he patted his hat and also mumbled, "Settle down. We're not in the clear yet." Yes, he appeared to be talking to his hat. But surely he wasn't deranged enough to do that....was he?

Gifters...? Azmaria looked up at the female and blinked. They had joined a Gifter hunt? Well, she supposed Karnel could wait a bit longer. He often seemed busy anyways. She looked at the little Naos and spoke, "Think we should help out with the hunt?" The tiny lizard like creature gave a small nod and hopped off her back, looking around at the others.
Destiny looked over at the newcomers, her eyes falling mainly on Pown. "You're getting a license too?" She held up hers and gave a small smile. "Think you and your little friends down there would like a bit of company for the hunt?" Things were better done in groups... right? Well her last hunt had been in a bit of a group and it had failed... but she just wanted to have as much company around as she could.

To the second female to come to request the beewhoozled Scientist nodded happily, "Absolutely!" she puled another license out and was handing it to her when she heard some snickering coming toward her, turning to the top hat wearing male, her delusional state almost convinced her that this would be a good time to pull out her lazar gun (yes, lazar like the diseased person sort not the beam) she'd been day dreaming about the past couple of days. After all it was the perfect way to get rid of annoying men! Put them in complete misery! Bwahahaha! Ah but one thing she still failed to realize was the disease would be contagious. Ah well it was a dream. Turning to him was a plastered, almost menacing smile she handed him his license with a jerky hand, "of-course-you-can." she said between her clenched smile. Her sleep lacking state seemed to have made any sort of negative energy ten times worse to her receiving it. Turning back tot he others in an almost mood swinging manner she clapped her hands together, this making her jump a little, "well then! The Gifter's not gonna catch it's..their... self so I'd suggest you all get crack-a-lackin'!" the white woman exclaimed. Now all she ha to do was wait for them to leave so she could crawl into her mounded heap of a tent and sleep.

Pown snatched up the license as it was offered to him, finding the woman's reaction to him rather amusing. Too bad she hadn't broken into a hissy fit, it would have been much better if she had. As if only to mock her more, he tipped off his hat and bowed his thanks, whatever had been on his head under the hat didn't appear to be there now. "Thank you very much, Miss." He smirked, standing upright once more and plopping the hat back down on his head before he turned to address the woman with the ears and the tail. He looked her up and down, and as well at her companions, and then to his own, well, the one that was visible.
"I suppose we could accompany one another." He pulled on a nearly genuine smile. It was slightly forced, particularly because of Azmaria. This man didn't seem to hold much of a liking toward Lollies. "You would like that, wouldn't you, my Queen?" A glance was offered down at the Mint Yumi at his feet, who nodded her head. "Yes, I think company would be lovely!" She chimed in with an even more genuine. Silly Pown, referring to her as his queen. It just happened to be her name.
He started walking away just then, putting some space between himself and the scientist, before turning back and waiting for Destiny. "And what might your names be?" He inquired of them.

Azmaria's ears hung down against her head when Pown looked at her. There was something about him... Something that seemed to say that he didn't like her in the least. Still, she wasn't going to make a fuss over it. Besides, the Mint Yumi seemed to think she was alright, so that was enough for her. She held the little plastic eggs close to her and waited for Destiny to start walking before she did too, the Naos right at her side. It still didn't have a name... She needed to give it one.
The vixen followed not too far away from Pown. "Ah. My name is Destiny, and the Lollia here is Azmaria. The Naos is...." Her eyes shifted down to look at the lizard with fairy wings and then over to Azmaria, as if asking what on Ladelle its name was.
"Oh. This little one doesn't have a name yet..." The Lollia spoke, giving a soft smile. "For now, little one would probably be fine."

Well, at least Pown was keeping to the courtesy of not speaking his dislike toward Lollies allowed. It would have made Azmaria feel worse, wouldn't it? He wasn't going to jeopardize the search by treading dangerously. "Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, Destiny, Azmaria...Little One. The name is Pown." He lifted his hat off of his and did another quick bow, only this time it wasn't in a mocking way. Before setting the hat back down, he reached his hand inside it to pull out a Nobility Yumi, who was grimacing at him grumpily. "This irritable boy is Malice," he explained, setting the purple and gold Yumi on his shoulder and then replacing he hat back on his head, "and that little sweetie is Queen." He pointed down to the Mint.
Queen was already beside the Lollia and the Naos, smiling at them and giving a curious look to the eggs. "You two went out hunting for eggs before this?" She was curious and had a rather sweet voice. "I guess your hunting just never stops."
"We'd better not waste any more time, then." The man concluded, stepping into the edge of the forest. "How well do you manage in places like this?" He asked Destiny, willing to offer her help if she didn't do well in forests. He assumed clumsy people would probably die trying to hike, and that would be far from a good thing.

She continued to stay no more then a yard or two away from Pown, making sure to give him personal space and yet keep up with him at the same time. "Oh yes. Forests are like home to me in a way, so I don't think you'll be having to help me out a whole lot." Her tail gave a small flick behind her, as if it wanted to show the fact that she was, or rather part, fox. Demonic(even though she was sweet) fox to be exact. She glanced back at the others and continued, "They probably won't have too much trouble, but if they do I'll help out since they're my wards after all."
The female Naos let out a little squeak, smiling as Queen as she walked over to them. Azmaria soon spoke up, "Yup. We were gonna go home and find Karnel to see if he wanted any of them since he didn't get to go hunt eggs." Karnel... Another one of Destiny's wards? Nope. Instead he belonged to Moofius. The angelic Lollia began walking on her hind legs, careful not to drop any of the three eggs. "Don't be surprised if the little one doesn't talk to you much. She's still young and hasn't really learned too many words."
As she began to follow after the others, so did the Naos. After all, they didn't want the group to leave them behind.

"Ah, I see." He had taken note of her tails and ears and all, but you could never be too sure. Just because you were part animal, fox, demon fox, whatever she specifically was, didn't mean that you couldn't have two left feet and bad coordination. He just didn't want her getting hurt, as odd at that may have seemed coming from someone so usually hateful as Pown. "Queen knows her way around well. All from our...house have taken a liking to the forest." 'Our house' meaning the one which he and Toxic lived within. Or, not so much so. They weren't usually the ones that stayed there.
"Karnel...." The Yumi repeated the name in thought. That somehow seemed a little familiar to her ears. Oh yes, that was it! She'd never met the Lollio personally, but had heard once from Pown and Moofius about him. Those two 'humans' were really good friends. "An orange and blue Lollio, am I right?" She chattered away, wanting to make small talk more then hunt...
On Pown's side, Malice's ears twitched. "Something is out there." He stated quietly, in a tone much like the human male's, though more moody. "Really?" Pown asked. "Why don't you make yourself useful and go look. You're one of the best at tracking." "I'd rather not..." The Nobility replied, gaining a sigh out of Pown.
"Hey! Did you guys hear that!?" There was definitely sounds coming from deeper in the forest, Queen was almost positive. What were the chances that both of the Yumies would be wrong?

Gray had wasted some time surveying her companions, and now she hurried to catch up. She didn't want to miss her chance to find a Gifter, after all. She had heard how, last time, only two Gifters had showed up, and someone had missed out after all.
"Really...you hear something?" Her ears swiveled, trying to catch said noise. "Ah, yes...something over there." She made a casual gesture in the direction of the forest.

(Aww! Az has the new lineart now and she's adorable! <3 )
"I'm not too sure about many of those staying in my house." Destiny spoke, looking around her as she walked. There was so much foliage that the Gifters could easily hide in out here. "I haven't really been around long. Haven't been home much either." She supposed that it was a good thing that all the creatures there could take pretty good care of themselves, but then again they chose to stay their of their own free will instead of as pets.
The white and pink Lollia gave a small nod, thinking about the orange and blue Lollio with his little bell around his neck that kept him from being able to get away with too much mischief. "Yeah. Karnel has show me so much kindness.. and I want to repay him for that." To think that if they weren't careful the Lollio could find himself fighting against the one that had kept her as his ward before he had stolen her from the tavern.
Both vixen and Lollia stopped, ears giving a small flick. The Naos ran into Azmaria's leg, letting out a tiny squeak of displeasure that someone would just stop so quickly. She quickly calmed down, eyes darting about to try to find what the others had heard.
"Well I guess our little scientist friend wasn't wrong. Surely there's a G-..." Destiny then remembered the stray dogs she and Itsu had run into last time. "Well it's certainly something, Gifter or not."

Not that it helped too much, but Queen scooped the little Naos into her gloved paw and plopped her down on her head with care. It was better then just the inch or two that she actually was. Poor little critter. How exactly did all these little Naos survive? One careless move and they'd be squished. It was bad enough just being a Yumi. She couldn't imagine how bad it was to be even smaller.
At the same time, Pown spoke up in a murmur, mostly to Gray. "Remaining in a single group is unwise." If Destiny hadn't invited him to join her, he surely would have went off to search on his own. He just remained polite and obliged. Thinking about it, if a party was too big, it might just scare off the Gifter. Hopefully, the other critters, all of them seeming so harmless and good natured, save for Malice, would be able to draw one out.
"Hooves." The Noblity Yumi spoke, adjusting the crown upon his head as his ear flicked while he looked around. "Gifter or Nocen..." It could have been an honest mistake, taking the habitants on this island to consideration. Both of those creatures had two hooves and two paws to walk on.
"Heh. Yes, the options are varied." The human agreed, plucking the candy cane from his hat. "You don't suppose they'd like candy canes, would you?" That particular candy was one that went along with the Holiday in which the creatures were associated with. Hey...perhaps even the Mint Yumi would happen to catch one's attention. Remind it of, well, home, more or less.
