(okay. I'm going to be super sensitive to that from now on.)

(Hey don’t worry about it! For my advice, only act as your characters. And hey, you learn something new everyday! It’s not your fault!)

The monster stopped right in front of their hiding place, and Charles watched with wide eyes as its orbs spun and its odd head looked around. But after searching with no avail, the creature let out a terrible howl–like metal scraping on metal–and Charles covered his ears. The cry was short, and after it had satisfied itself, Charles watched as it floated away. He peeked out of the vines to see it disappear around the bend.
"It's gone," he whispered, for fear it might come back, "That was close."

(okay- I guess I'm still new to rping rules ^//^)

(^^ its ok!)

Ares shushes Charles, “Quiet…just wait a little longer…you never know if it’ll come back…” He waited a few more minutes, then slowly got out, offering his hand. “Come on…I can try to make some shelter…”

"Oh don't worry. There are certain parts of the mind that store secrets, which I take enormous precautions to avoid. Only thing I read is what you think about me, and a few other non-incriminating aspects. Your secrets are beyond safe." He smiled warmly. "Besides, everyone has their secrets." He held out his hand to the left and the knife that was embedded into the wall flew into it. "C'mon, I'm sure there's something else to kill.(Large groups get boring fast)

Chirp grimaced slightly, still mildly uncomfortable with someone being able to poke around in her mind. It made her skin crawl, and it was only through force of will that that sentence was metaphorical. Still, she dissolved the extra brain, using its mass elsewhere. If it wasn't useful, she didn't need it.

She watched Sunobi summon the knife back, she raised an eyebrow. That explained why he'd been so comfortable throwing it earlier. The changeling suddenly felt.. Underpowered. A bit out of her element. She was better at espionage and working with people. It would be to her benefit to stick with this man. As long as he stayed friendly, he was her best bet of making it out of here alive.

To keep herself amused, Chirp practiced changing her face, looking one moment like herself, the next like her friend, a few moments later a dusty-blonde haired man. She flitted through the faces, color bleeding from her hair then being replaced, facial features rearranging, solidifying for a moment, then changing again. She paused for a moment, head tipping to the side, her face returning to how it was when she awoke, but changed half the face to that of a skull, mimicking what Sunobi had done earlier.

"Is that why you're here? To kill stuff?"

Sunobi shrugs. "I don't even know. I just support the theory that maybe if we kill everything here, it'll be easier to leave. Unless they are spawned, in which case, that won't apply." He looked over at Chirp. "If any of us knew why we were here, it would be made known, either by me or themselves." He held out his hand and his knife spun in the air above it.

Chirp mulled over that information for a minute, digesting it. She tried reaching out to one of her hive-minds, but it was either too far away or had starved to death without her guidance. She'd kill for one of those right now, and maybe a pair of second eyes. But she needed to conserve mass, no telling what would come after them.

She latched onto one of the words, echoing it quietly. "Any of us? Have you run into more people other than me?"

Sunobi silently cursed himself. "Yeah." he said hesitantly. "A few. Dangerous. And annoying. Not nearly as…" he paused. "^amazing as you." he smiled coyly. (The small text indicates quieter talking) "Also, I sense them a great distance away, only cause I have interacted with them." (I'm feeleing sick af y'all imma head out for the night.)

Chirps face lit up in a smile again, but she didn't feel nearly as comforted as she looked. If there were others.. That meant that there was definitely a force bringing them here. And what did Sunobi mean by dangerous? He was already strong, did these people pose a kind of threat?

Did he only want her here because she was easier to control than the more powerful people? Chirp hummed thoughtfully, trying not to trail behind or show her sudden reluctance.
"How did that interaction go?"

"Hm." Sunobi grumbled. "You're wrong about me." He paused. "One of them, she was like seven feet tall, built like a twig. She threw a dark spike at a Draugr. Another one was shy, but I could sense he was pretty powerful when the need arose. The third… Observant, keen with his senses. I could tell when I vanished from the group he had some curiosities about me." He came to a halt at a fork in the path.

Chirp moved forwards quickly, walking in front of Sunobi then turning around, walking backwards.
"These sound like good allies! Do you know where they are still? Just because they were "Dangerous," She raised her hands to do air quotes here, "Doesn't mean that they won't be helpful."

She stopped at the fork as well, turning back around and craning her neck up to see the massive walls. Left or right? Chirp let her hand trail along the wall, then frowned. "Left or right?" She asked aloud, head tilting curiously. "You're the powerhouse here."

"Hm." He continued to think. "Look. Footprints." (I was going to go have him talk about not wanting to be in a large group, but that seemed so blah blah blah. this is more interesting.) He knelt. "Not human, from the looks. Let me…" he held his hand out.

Liam opened his eyes and blinked several times before sitting up and looking around. His head was pounding. How much had he drunk last night? He stood up and leaned against one of the walls. It was cold to the touch and somehow it felt…wrong. He stedded himself, and noticed, for the first time in however many years, he was cold.
