☁️ What Dreams May Come [Backdated April Event]

Whoever is stuck inside with Yu will notice multiple mirrors leading to a few important events being played out;

A - SWEET VELVET
It's inside a...blue limousine? There's a man with a nose that probably accounts for a third of his body along with a lovely woman holding a book.

The man speaks, his voice grandfatherly and low.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room..."

B - THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE SISTER
There is a giant figure towering before them all. The group seems to be outmatched as it claims to be 'saving her'. Yu is paralyzed under a strange contraption and cannot move.

However the creature's grip on the small girl begins to slip until she starts to fall.

That's when hell really starts to come loose. ((OOC: The vision will continue until the end of the video))

C - THE MIDNIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT
It's midnight in a small room. Among the manga books sits and old-school television. As Yu comes closer to look at it a strange program begins. Then a few minutes later, the electricity goes out and everything begins to have a reddish hue...

🌕 Full Moon [🔒 Yosuke]

He was prepared for the full moon. Or so, Yu thought. After warning Yosuke to be on alert should anything happen, Yu had decided to camp outside in the view of the night sky, least he completely break the bed and whatever else might be there. It was a good time to keep his head calm and meditate. He was determined to take this as best as possible, with as little...Chimera-i-ness especially if that dream had been correct and he was turning into one of the most fear of monsters. For Yu, that was rather terrifying. He was just released to at least have bonded with Yosuke before.

It didn't hit him that hard at first. In fact, it took a long while, so much so that he was caught off guard when it began. A little lingering voice in his head that seemed to pace back and forth. Then the transformations began. The protective covers he had for heat and protection him quickly began useless as he felt pieces of himself moving and reorganizing. Yet it was only when he felt his bones snap in his legs that he finally screamed in pain.

It came out a wolf's howl.

⚗️ The Goblin Market [Open to all ]

"Not interested."

Even if Yu's changes had made him taller than before, the usual quiet but quick reply made even the nearest merchant stop attempting to go their spiel at him. Yu was merely curious about this place and to see if he could get himself better outfits than the one he was currently wearing. Despite his own troubles, he goes over to someone else with a smile when he spots a similar situation.

"Sorry for the wait. Do you want to leave now?"

Sure you might have never met, but maybe you'll play into it. He's very good at getting crowds to scatter.

⛺ A Wilde Hunt [Open to all ]

There's a tall, wolf-like monster nearby. The legs are covered in grey fur and shaped like a canine's, but the hands are more like claws than paw. While his face is mostly human, his nose is now more like snout. The chest is bare because apparently he doesn't believe in sweaters, but it's still human for now.

How it managed to sneak so close is anyone's' guess, but the quiet footsteps stop before it becomes too uncomfortably close to whoever is next to him. Even if there's a low growl, his voice is soft and he sports a satchel around his neck. The springs of lavender and peppermint inside along with the other ingredients giving off a pleasant relaxing smell.

"Hey."

Thankfully he's here to help. Or maybe play a game of cat and mouse to help someone else develop their magic. At least he doesn't seem to want to attack?

((OOC: Feel free to meet him either inside or outside the barricade.))

🎴 A Wilde Carde [Open to all ]

((OOC: If there's anything else you'd like to do with Yu, let me know at pixle or please ping this account!.))

The Wilde Hunt

[hoboagogo]

[Whenever he starts questioning his own weird behavior, it usually gets written off as 'some sort of weird faun thing,' and this time its no different. He'd certainly noticed the pull of the moons had been stronger. His energy had ramped up, his need to do something, to be outside, in nature, to take risks, be reckless- everything that's already usually elevated by the moons, now amped up even further.

And so, despite having no need to hunt or chase prey, he's out here in the wilde. (Maybe to be the prey? he hasn't thought too hard about it, only feeling the need to do and then doing it.) Narrow, cloven hooves are careful with each step, but by no means as quiet as a wolfs paws. Long, furry ears flicker up with any stray noises, but he continues regardless.

Everything in the undergrowth is wild and untamed, and maybe the soothing feeling from being surrounded by nature preoccupies him, because when Yu speaks, he startles. That elevated prey response kicks in at the soft growl of words, far closer than he would have expected, and he's quick in a short leap to make some distance as he turns on those awkward thin goat-legs to see just who is creeping up on him.

...And of course it's this guy. Mr. Too-friendly-no-shirt.]

The hell're you doing, Narukami? [It's an attempt to sound aggravated, but if Yu's got canine senses, he's sure to be able to pick up on that brief instinctual flare of fight-or-flight, the way his heartbeat is still a little too fast (which, really, could be related to the moon).]

You can't just stalk up on people.

[izanyagi]

[He coughs, looking a little embarrassed at his own movements as he raises his clawed hands up in protest.]

I'm not sure. It's a little too easy to start walking a certain way?

[His brain simply seems to have two modes right now - run really fast or be a sneaky boi. He can sense something from Shinjiro, but they aren't quite developed yet enough to get the full picture apart from a heartbeat that he partly assumes to be his own.]

I didn't expect that many people out here but...it feels better than being in the city doesn't it?

[hoboagogo]

[After the initial start, having stepped back deftly, his fur starts again to relaxed from where it had initially bristled, the burst of adrenaline slowly petering off. And so he huffs, one hand moving to his hip as he glances down to Yu's legs. Well. That explains how damn quiet he was moving, if he was already this far shifted.]

Damn, you're changing fast.

[It's an offhand comment that he doesn't seem interesting in following up on, as he immediately looks back up to continue the conversation Yu had started. After all, its not like his own shitty comments were ever asked for.]

It's probably from being outside the Wall. [He'd noticed it, the times he'd left the city. The magic just felt more raw. Whether than had to do with the Cwyld or just the nature of the place, he's not sure. He'll leave all that for the Coven to figure out.] I dunno if the magic is just more raw out here or what, but I know it affects us.

[As though unaffected, he starts walking again, simply expecting Yu to either follow along or go his own way, and seemingly unbothered by his lack of any sort of enhanced night vision.] I wanted to see what was going on over here. They said they were opening this place up for people to hunt, but I dunno if they meant animals, shades, or each other.
