This is terrible

Who: Uta, Illumi, Panne, Shadow, and OPEN (only day one is closed to the group).
Where: All along the Oregon Trail.
When: Sunday, August 31st — Thursday, September 4th
Rating: PG-13, but could possible vary from thread-to-thread!
Summary: The group started out late and Uta is an ass.
The Story:

Sunday morning had not started like every other routine morning in Wonderland. A least not for what had been routine to those who had yet to experience an "event".


The air had chilled and the scenery had progressed to a excessive thunderstorm. The ground was wet and soft, turning quickly to mud. This was not ideal travelling weather, especially in a covered wagon. But was this going to stop these brave pioneers?....Maybe.



[ ooc: top-level threads are added by the individual characters to be commented to below. Day 1 is closed to the Group, but Days 2 - 5 are open for all. ]

[Panne uses her clawed hands and feet to try and dig their wheels free of the mud. The incredible mess does not bother her in the slightest-- However, the lazy attitude of her wagon-mate does. She turns her nose up in disgust.]

If you wish to know, come down and help!

[This would be so much easier if she could just turn into her rabbit form! But her Beaststone has been refusing to work ever since they were all transported away from the mansion. Instead, she's been forced to work with her human form... How irritating! Her giant paws would have made quick work of this muck.]

[ As fast as Shadow might be, he can only be as fast as his new tiny legs allow him to carry him. Which to be honest, wasn't anywhere near the speed of sound anymore. Having refused to ride any of those carts with all that weird and unknown people just because he thought he could do get to Oregon by himself had been the worst idea ever. What was he going to do now, he completely alone and incredibly tired from going up and down and left and right before it had started raining, and on top of that, he was completely wet and--wait... What's that?

Ah, a cart stayed behind? Maybe he wasn't so out of luck.

Shadow approaches to his last hope, just to realize they are stuck... Great.

«How pathetic...» Otherwise heard like huff puff, because hedgehog cannot talk!

Behold the tiny hedgehog approaching the rear wheels and trying to push, because clearly these humans(?) are useless! ]

Given the situation we're in, I don't understand why you don't think we need assistance. I agree that you should be helping.

[ Illumi has many questions he wants to ask Uta, but he knows that they will have to wait until later when they're not all covered in mud and soaked from rain. Besides, he had to confess to himself that he should be thinking about the more important fact of their current situation: getting the wagon moving as soon as possible.

He's scowling as he tries to push and lift the back of the carriage from out of the mud while Panne works at the wheels. It would be so much easier if his aura was not just inexplicably sealed, for though he's quite aware it could happen, it had not since he'd arrived in Wonderland. It's the first time he's truly felt he's been kidnapped by unknown forces, because he is one-hundred percent certain he had not encountered anyone between now and his rest in his hole who would have been able to do so. On top of that, he's never heard of a being that could got rid of his techniques he's learned through extensive training.

Dark eyes narrowing at these thoughts, he's about to make another comment to Uta when he notes the small creature at the wheels. ]


What's this?

[ Illumi pauses in his attempt at moving the cart to bend down and study the creature, taking quick note that it was most likely a rodent....?

Immediately he decides he need to inspect it closer, especially since it seems to be trying to futilely help them. So, he reaches out towards it with his right hand to briskly scoop it up, noting in the action its' wet, matted black and red fur. ]

I have spoken with the oxen; they know exactly what to do. They also are not very happy about the rain. So get down here.

[With Uta being impossible, Panne decides to join Illumi instead.]

What do you have there?

[She sniffs intently at the shaking little ball of fur and needles. Wait. Didn't that odd creature she met the first day he was here say that he was a hedgehog?]

Shadow? [Panne speaks to him in the language of animals. Their scents are so familiar it's uncanny, and so she assumes...] Is that you, little one?

[personal profile] chaoscontroller 2014-09-12 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ N-no! Let him go! He squeaks «How dare you! Put me down!» and wriggles and actually tries to bite that holding hand! Maybe he actually does before realizing who this one is... Illumi, you fiend! Ew, how primitive he's become, recurring to biting... He will apologize for that later. Maybe.

Shadow freezes at the sound of his name though! It sounded different, and yet, he can understand it... He turns his head to the odd looking woman.

«Who are you? How do you know my name?» That would be a yes! ]

It is I, Panne the Taguel. We met some time ago, when we had both just arrived in Wonderland.

[She holds out her hand for him to sniff, and climb onto if he prefers.]

Why are you in this form now? You did not tell me you were a shapeshifter.

[ Illumi doesn't answer when Panne asks him what creature is in his hand as she's already investigating on her own. Instead he watches as the exchange happens between Shadow and Panne, only really doing something when Shadow bites his hand. He's no stranger to pain but usually something as simple as a bite would not effect him, so he flinches when it happens. He watches as Panne reaches out to the little ball of fluff, but does not make any move to let go of it himself. ]

What are you saying to it? You know where it came from, don't you?

[ It would be the only explanation to why she's having some sort of conversation to it in an unfamiliar language, and Illumi feels he kind of deserves to know what is going on. Especially if they're taking time to stop in their need to head out to find out. ]

Yes, we have met before, [She speaks normally now that she is addressing Illumi.] although we were in different shapes. I am a Taguel, and this is not my true form... But I have not been able to use my Beaststone correctly since coming to this wide-open place, and I am stuck like this. I'm assuming something similar has happened to Shadow here.

[ 'So this creature is that same hedgehog? Such a strange theory.' Illumi's black eyes move between Panne and Shadow for a moment as he takes a step back from the wagon and cups the hedgehog in both of his hands. ]

It makes sense what you're saying. There is a possibility that this here is Shadow if what you say about your true form being sealed is true.

[ He pauses to address the hedgehog in his hands. ]

I'll assume that you can understand me. You only bit me because I suddenly grabbed you, right? What had you planned to do in that form? Help us?

[ Illumi doesn't fully believe that the animal in his hand is indeed Shadow, but talking to him now with Panne nearby would either confirm or deny his suspicions. ]

[personal profile] chaoscontroller 2014-09-13 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah... So that was her name. Shadow sniffles that offered hand and listens to the interchange, that would explain why she is in that shape. By the way, deeply sorry, Panne, but all that mud on your hand doesn't seem really... appealing. Never mind the fact that he's pretty covered in mud too, that hypocrite. There is also the fact that being handled by one person is already embarrassing... The less the better.

Puff, puff, huff, huff. «First things first, I am not a shapeshifter. This place put me in this ridiculous little body...» At least he wasn't human, he would probably have gone mad if that had happened.

«Second...» He looks up at Illumi, it shows he understood the question, right? «My apologies. I didn't mean to do that. And yes, I was trying to help you because you're doing a pathetic job. Now put me down.»

That's all! ]
doesnotplay: (lines of thought)

[personal profile] doesnotplay 2014-09-14 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. He says he is not naturally a shapeshifter, but has been stuck in this body since coming to the trail... He also apologizes for biting your hand.

He was... trying to help dig. He wants to be put down.

[She changes his exact wording a bit, because damn Shadow, learn some manners.]

[personal profile] chaoscontroller 2014-09-14 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Never!

But hey, even if they are not the same, that works, he supposes. He lets it go not without a tiny glare from those tiny eyes... Eh. Hmph! ]

[ For a moment, Illumi thinks over how to answer about shapeshifting more than anything else but then brings his focus back to what Panne is translating. He will save his questions about Panne's own shapeshifting abilities for later, if he so chooses to actually voice them. ]

He did not seem like a shapeshifter when I met him, so I will believe you for now.

[ Does that sound rude? Most likely. Illumi tilts his head to the side though at Shadow's request. ]

Can you protect yourself from being hurt in that form? You can't, can you?

[ It's more of a statement than a question, as Illumi moves to place Shadow on his left shoulder before addressing Panne again. ]

Let us get back to moving this wagon seeing that idiot will not help.

[personal profile] doesnotplay 2014-09-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Panne agrees with Illumi-- Shadow is pretty much useless in that form. She will still take care of him, as she has a soft-spot for all things not human, but he won't be much of a help on the trail.]

I will keep digging. We will get out of this mud eventually.

[personal profile] chaoscontroller 2014-09-15 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huff! A very offended one, at that... Shadow wriggles and huffs before he's placed on Illumi's shoulder. How rude! But he clings from the fabric of his vest the best he can. But it's clear that he cannot help if he cannot even fight Illumi in this...

«Fine...»

You'll never seen a hedgehog this grumpy!

«Hurry up, then.» He actually turns away on Illumi's shoulder. What a snot. ]

Illumi Zoldyck | Day 2 — Day 5

[personal profile] needlepoints 2014-09-05 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Day Two

It's Monday and things have not gotten better. Illumi's now tied his long hair up in a bun to just keep it from getting in the way, but now they've come face-to-face with a river. Once his days eyes rest upon it, something clicks in that moment. He distinctly remembers talking to that annoying cat creature about crossing rivers and he also distinctly remembers saying he would run across it. Without his nen, needles, or years of trained techniques accessible however, he now sees how difficult crossing this could be. He hypothesises that if things don't get better after he's gotten past this obstacle, a permanent frown is going to be firmly set in his features.

Day Three

Welp, Illumi hasn't been sick like this since he was probably around the age of four, or something equally young and not Young Adult. He feels like he's not going to make it. It's horrible. Terrible, and he sort of wanting the group to just leave him be. Go on without him. The measles feel like the worse thing he's ever experienced right now and damn this place to hell for making him so vulnerable. So Day 3 starts with Illumi being the grumpiest he's been since he's began his stay in Wonderland.

Day Four

Illumi breaks his right arm while trying to climb the mountains. He's also still very sick and very angry and wow fuck the snow. They've begun to run low on food (he's actually not sure if they have any left to be honest; they might have lost it all earlier), and he hates to admit it but — he's starting to wonder how tasty his companions might be in this cold.


Day Five

They've finally reached the journey's end, or at least another river. Illumis exuding killing intent, nen or no, and he's surprised he's still alive. He's trying to use what little coherency he has left to devise a plan to get across.

And once across (?), the reward is Denny's.

[ Illumi, don't die, you're the warmest human around right now with all that fever. And since hedgehogs don't seem to be affected by measles (whatever that is because he doesn't know...) Shadow brings himself closer to the crock of Illumis' neck. It's cold man... so cold. Even for a furry thingy like him. ]

day four

[personal profile] needlepoints 2014-09-17 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Through Illumi's feverish haze, he notes that the hedgehog is moving against him. He's not sure if he should feel appreciative for the concern from the creature or annoyed. The cold weather mixing with his fever is making him fluctuate between being really hot to really cold off and on and it's making him feel even worse on top of wanting to attempt to eat something. So though the hedgehog is quite small, during the times of him feeling super hot he's tempted to remove him. But then Illumi reminds himself that the little animal is Shadow, and though they had only spoke once prior to this, he had been helpful and probably could continue to be helpful in the future.

So he accepts the feeling of Shadow moving closer to him, and turns his head to the left a little to rub his cheek against its quills. He knows that if he startles him, the quills will hurt, but at the moment he does not care. He would pet Shadow but his right arm is broken and hurts so he rather not move it. ]


....Cold?

[ It's barely audible as Illumi's throat is sore and he rather not talk much, especially since he knows that he cannot translate anything Shadow would say back to him at the moment. ]
