SPROING! Leap dash scamper skid POUNCE!

There is a fox outside by the lake demonstrating that not only weres are vulnerable to the effects of a full moon. He's scampering in mad circles, kicking up snow and then pouncing it, biting, shaking his head, rolling...

He's having a ball.

He welcomes anyone who wants to come play with him.

Arthur's outside tending to the Perfectly Normal Beast when he spots the bouncing fox.

"Well, hello there."

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

The one who smells like stars!

Ker-POING! Arthur's feet get fox-pounced.

[thelastearthman.livejournal.com]

He kneels down and holds out his hand for a sniff.

"You look like you're having fun."

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

The hand gets licked exuberantly. Play with me! The moon is fullbright high now! Play with me!

[thelastearthman.livejournal.com]

Well now. Who could refuse a request like that?

"It's been a while since I've played outdoors. I might be out of practice."

After Nathan got warned about the werewolves from Annie, and before he ran into the Ranger, he was striding out back purposefully. Clearly upset and stressed out.

He briefly eyed the crazy fox running around.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

The fox catches sight of him, and immediately runs towards him.

New playmate!

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan took a half step back, wondering if it was rabid.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

Hello, sai! Play with me!

Test number one: Can the human hear the fox?

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Nathan paused at that. Oh great, another talking animal.

"What?"

[scaredbybook.livejournal.com]

So long as it isn't night?

Kira's gotten really, really tired of being indoors, so she's finally ventured out to the outside world again.

Just, not too far.

The fox gets a look. What could it be doing?

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

He is playing! And he wants her to play, too. Which is why he charges her and bonks his head into her legs.

[scaredbybook.livejournal.com]

ACK WILD ANIMAL ATTACK

She should dodge, but not run, because if she runs it will chase her! Should she stand on one foot? Scream? Jump into the lake? What does she do? What does she-

She gets bonked while she's still standing there like a moron. She catches on and giggles. Then she rolls a snowball and tosses it to see if the fox would like to chase it, because bonking it back involves bending down and that involves her face near little fox teeth.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Ooh. A thing to chase! He rockets after it and pounces the spot where it lands with a VENGEANCE, biting at the snow and then rolling over it. He lies there belly-up, looking at her expectantly.

[scaredbybook.livejournal.com]

It is the cutest thing ever. It has teeth, but it's cute! Kira spends a minute quietly going eeee! deep inside.

Okay! Another snowball!

"SNEAK ATTACK!"

As The Bunny falls out of a tree at the fox.

Don't worry, he's not armed.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

He barks in surprise and twosts about, flailing foxily.

Oh! Hello! I have never known a coney to climb a tree!

The rabbit is lucky that this fox has been taught not to eat patrons.

[misterbunny.livejournal.com]

The Bunny crouches, his butt wiggling. Cause sometimes? you just have to play.

"I climb everything. Superior tactical advantage."

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

It was clever of you to learn to do that, the fox agrees. But can you still run? He crouches for the springpounce!

[misterbunny.livejournal.com]

"Faster then yo-"

He pauses, looking at the fox, his eyes narrowing.


"First asterisks, now italics? What the Fisk?"

Jet doesn't know what a were-anything is, so he went out to kick about this evening. Bar's provided him with a long, warm coat, and he's out here chewing a twig idly as he thinks about--

--well, shit he just shouldn't dwell on.

"Looks like you're kickin' yer heels," he says to himself mostly, watching the animal frolic.

He?

He is not in a frolicy mood. More so a 'brood and sulk' one.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

I am endeavoring to do so, yes, sai, the fox replies in a companionable tone. Would you care to join me?

[atanycost.livejournal.com]

"...uhwhat?"

Animals do not talk where he comes from. So, cue the long, slow blink of a boy stunned.

[simple-secret.livejournal.com]

I asked if you would care to joine me. "Kickin' my heels." It is an enjoyable activity, even more so with a companion.

[atanycost.livejournal.com]

Wading deeper into the snow, Jet cannot pass up the talking fox. He kicks a little snow in the air, but...

... he has to ask: "....are you a spirit?"
