Grimm tale but Warm fires [PPCS - Grimm Tale] Empty Mon Oct 14, 2024 3:22 pm

Targa
The fire crackled in front of Targa, which felt distant in the chilling air of Hargeon. The night was a strange contradiction with the warmth of the fire and the cool snow drifting from above. She let her gaze wander over the people who had gathered. All of them strangers. The smell of marshmallows roasting and chocolate melting mingled with the crisp scent of the snow, reminding her of simpler times before becoming a vampire, back when she could digest such things. Now all she could stomach was alcohol and blood, or even better blood with a high alcohol content from an attractive lush.

Tonight was about horror stories, and the thrill of being just a little afraid. Targa listened to others telling stories as her pink eyes glinting in the firelight, her jet-black hair with its colored ends swaying slightly with the breeze.

"You know, back in Iceberg, we used to say the winter snow carries whispers from the past." Her voice just loud enough to be heard over the fire's crackling and the conversation of others around her. "The elders would tell us stories about spirits trapped in the cold, forever wandering, seeking warmth they could never have again. They said if you listened closely on winter nights, you could hear them calling, begging to be let inside...and if you fell asleep unprotected on those cold nights, they would enter you for warmth and posses you."

Targa's eyes narrowed slightly, a sly smile forming as she glanced at the people around the fire. "I've seen this with my own eyes. And what I saw... well, it wasn't human. It was tall, with eyes like pale blue fire, and its body was wrapped in tattered cloth, blowing in the wind. It looked at me...not like it was angry, but almost...sad. I remember thinking it wanted something from me. I was too scared to stay, so I ran. But every time the wind howls, I think about that spirit, alone in the cold, and I wonder what would've happened if I'd stayed."

Taking a sip of spiked juice she leaned back looking at the scared faces of the children, her fangs showing white in the light for added effect. "Anyway, that's my story," she said after a moment, a wicked smile dancing across her face. Looking at one frightened kid in particular she continued. "Maybe the snow tonight will bring whispers of its own for this is no mere story, but fact."

Karina
Karina had heard that there was an event that was going on, on the beach that was promised to have food, drinks and stories as well as a bonfire and as she was still getting started out she was not yet really bringing in the jewels to keep herself a float yet so she had to make the most of what she has while she had the time to take advantage of it. She got in line and got some food and drink then headed to the bonfire and took a seat at it as she could sense it but she felt like someone was watching her but she didn't know who her senses were still not that sharp as she was a werewolf not a mind reader. "Hello I am Karina and you are?" She put her hand out toward the woman in front of her. If the woman took her hand and shook it then Karina would shake her hand back.

Karina then would pull her hand back and start to eat a bit of her foot as she was hungry from her long day out on the water fighting pirates and she wondered if this was a safe place for her to relax as she didn't know anyone here and she was still new to this country and she wanted to make sure that she stayed out of trouble if she could but she doesn't know what she should do as she was trying her hardest to live but she was still feeling like she was behind in it all. A creature sort of hovered up beside her and looked at her with a big grin and Karina handed it a sandwich to which it took it in what is probably best described as paws with claws. Karina still has no idea what the creature is but she was not going to question it as it helps her and is seemingly peaceful so she takes care of it and it follows her even if she things that it is from watching her and waiting for something. She looked to the fire as she drank a bit more her nose twitching a bit as she smells some one has burned some of the hot dogs behind them at the cooking stalls, she didn't like the smell of someone wasting food by burning it and not keeping their eye on it.

Targa
As the fire crackled on Targa's eyes wandered again, scanning the gathered crowd until they landed on a woman standing about five foot seven with striking pink and indigo hair that fell to her shoulders. Her toned yet not overly muscled body caught Targa's attention, and she found herself drawn to the sight of her smooth skin, a light shade above pale, and her purple eyes that weren't overly strict-looking. If anything, the woman reminded her of Targa herself with the unique hair and eye color.

Standing up, Targa brushed herself off, licking on her lips to wet them since the fire nearby had dried them out a little. She approached the woman, soundless due to her vampire nature, her pink eyes glinting with a predator gaze. "Well, well, what do we have here?" she said, her voice smooth and playful. "You know, it's not often I see someone who makes the snow seem warm by comparison." Targa let her gaze linger, her fangs showing just slightly as she smiled. "Mind if I join you? I think I could use a bit more warmth tonight, and you seem like just the person to provide it."

Truth be told, while she found the woman striking, she wasn't expecting her to flirt back. She was just trying to liven the mood from before when she scared the kids with her ghost story as a change of pace.

Karina
Karina looked at the woman and she wondered what she meant by made the snow seem warm in comparison. She wondered if it was maybe some kind of saying she might have heard from where ever she is from Karina then heard the woman say something about keeping warm with her. "You don’t look like you are cold to start with from how you are dressed." She looked down at her body armor and she wondered if maybe her armor was just better at keeping her warm as she was from a cold country so the cold here wasn’t really that bad to her. Karina was unsure of this woman or what she wanted from her but she didn’t see the harm in the woman joining her. "You can join me if you want though don’t mind sunshard he is mostly harmless." she pointed to the creature that was looking at her and grinning its glowing head feather lighting up it’s face.

Karina went back to eating the free food she had gotten and she wondered if it was alright to be eating as much as she was but she figured she was not sure where her next meal will come from so she needed to eat now and worry about the other details later after she is full and held over till she is hungry again. She was not scared to be around the strange woman as her werewolf senses went going crazy or anything.

Targa
Targa smiled as she took a seat beside Karina, her eyes shifting briefly to the creature called Sunshard. She gave a small nod, her curiosity piqued. "Thanks for letting me join," she said, her voice smooth as she settled herself comfortably. "Name's Targa, by the way," she added, extending a hand towards Karina. "I couldn't help but notice your companion there. Then again, you did mention it..." Her eyes flicked to Sunshard, a glint of fascination in them. "Sunshard, you said? He's got quite the glow to him. What's his story? And while we're at it, I'd love to know more about you too." She gave a playful smile, her eyes scanning to make sure none of the children she scared were still here. If they were she wanted to give them a little scare again, for the giggles of it.  

Targa would pull out a cup covered with a film. Pulling up the lid there would be blood red jello inside of it. In fact, it was jello made from blood and both flavored and scented to be like strawberry. Though someone with a good nose would detect the metallic smell to it, the iron.

Karina
Karina looked at her as she heard her name and she shook her hand. "I am Karina, Sunshard I found in a forest in seven it was reading a book, I am not so sure if it adopted me or I adopted them" She said this with a firm amount of not sure tone to her voice but she wasn't worried about it as the creature was friendly and seemed to not want to kill her in her sleep. The woman smelled something that was weird like blood so she looked around for if someone had gotten hurt or something then noticed that the woman that was sitting next to her had something red and she wondered if the woman was a vampire or if she feels like one as the small was coming from the thing that she had which confused Karina.

She wasn't going to ask about it as it was none of her business to ask her about it and she needed to make sure that she didn't start any trouble. "So what brings you to the south? The event? The sights? You a member of the guild that is down here and active?" She was not sure what this woman's story was but she asked a few questions to see what she would say.

Targa
Targa leaned back slightly, her eyes still bright with a playful spark as she considered Karina's questions. "A little bit of everything, really," she said, her tone casual. "I'm here for the event, of course as they are always fun and I like to see what kind of stories and people turn up at these types of things. Plus, I'm hoping to pick up a few supplies from the local hospital here. They have some things that aren't easy to find elsewhere." She gave a small shrug, her smile dousing a little. "And yeah, I'm with a guild Fairy Tail, actually. Figured I needed a change of scenery, so I decided to head here for a bit. Reminds me a little of home in Iceburg."

She glanced at Sunshard again, her curiosity still piqued. "Fairy Tail's pretty wild, but I like it that way. Keeps things interesting, you know? What about you, Karina? You seem like someone who's got a good story or two. How'd you end up with Sunshard beyond finding it in a forest reading a book, and what brought you here?" Targa tilted her head slightly, genuinely interested, her fangs just barely visible as she smiled again. "And don't worry—I promise I won't bite." She added the last bit with a wink, her tone teasing.

Karina
The woman was not so sure about this woman as she seemed to relaxed and it kind of made the hair on the back of Karina's neck stand up and that was probably not a good sign even if she seemed safe to be around her werewolf instincts were twitching about this woman and she went back to eating as she listened to this woman talk she wondered if there was a point to what she was saying as it all seemed just like an info dump. She wasn't sure how much of it was lies and which were things that were true she needed to make sure that she stayed on guard as she took another drink and she then hears her ask about her and saying she must have a good story or two and she was not sure how much she should share with this woman here.

"I am a member of Sleeping Calamity in Seven. I am an adventurer, I found Sunshard when I went to join the Sleeping calamity guild. He was just there in the forest while I was walking through though some people have looked at him weird and ran away." She had no idea for what reason those people ran away but she figured that she might one day find out one day if the creature wanted to show it's true self to her.

Targa
Targa listened with genuine interest, nodding slowly as Karina spoke she could also tell that she got a little on edge seeing her fangs. At this point she was sensitive to peoples reaction to it, many people didn't like vampires since there were so many evil ones. "Sleeping Calamity, huh? I've heard a bit about them. You must be quite the adventurer to make it into a guild like that," she said, her voice calm and poised. "And Sunshard sounds like quite the mysterious companion. Reading a book, huh? That's not something you see every day." She chuckled lightly, glancing over at Sunshard again, her eyes lingering on the glowing feather. "I think there's more to him than meets the eye. And maybe one day, you'll figure it out."

Targa continued to eat her jello and talk. "As for me, I'm just here for the event and to pick up some supplies from the hospital. They have a few things I need that are hard to come by elsewhere as stated before, but I guess I'm repeating myself. So, tell me, what's it like being a part of Sleeping Calamity? You must have some wild stories, right? I'd love to hear more about them knuckle heads!. And don't worry, I'll keep my fangs to myself." She added the last part with a playful wink, her smile widening, hoping to let her know she had no intuition of biting her or that she was a bad vampire.

Karina
When she said that Karina must be quite the good adventurer to have gotten into them she spoke. "No I am still a low level new member so I am nothing special to them yet I will need to work hard though I might have only been accepted cause they are new and want more people to join so everyone signed up mattered." She heard the woman start to talk about Sunshard and she looked down as the creature wanted to be lifted up and so she lifted it up into her lap and it took some of the food from the tray and seemed relaxed about the whole thing that was going on. "Yeah he is a bit weird but it doesn't bother me at all as he is kind when he wants to be and can really work his butt off when he wants to." She looked back at the creature as it made movements like it was snickering to itself.

Hearing the question from the woman Karina she thought about it as she ate a bit more. "It is a group of people fighting with each other or challenging each other so really that is all it is, mostly men puffing out their chests and speaking fighting words. I kinda like it cause it keeps things exciting though I am still weak compared to them." She rubbed the back of her head as she was nervous about it all as she wanted to make sure that she was not saying too much as she knows her guild master can be a fiery man even if he is just really nice in his own ways she wasn't going to let herself forget that she is doing what she can.

Targa
Karina's response caught Targa's attention, and she could detect the modesty in Karina's tone. She reassured Karina, saying that there's nothing wrong with being new, as everyone starts somewhere, and Karina's determination is what truly matters. Targa observed as Karina held Sunshard, the creature snickering, and Targa couldn't help but chuckle as well.

Targa leaned back, her pink eyes focused on Karina as she described her guild. Targa nodded, understanding the dynamic, and commented that the chest-puffing and posturing are common in most guilds, but it keeps things exciting. Targa expressed her belief that being around such competitive people can help Karina grow stronger, as competition can be a powerful motivator.

Putting her jello away after finishing it she would continue. "So, what ghost or horror stories do you have? I don't know if you heard mine before, but maybe you have one for me and the kids around here. Maybe your little fellow there has one, if he's able to talk? Can it talk?"

Targa would get up and move over to the side where the firewood was being stored. She'd take a few pieces and place it over the fire that was starting to dwindle. Taking a poker she'd stir it up and fan it some to get the fire roaring again. The action would bring more around it again, ready to roast marshmallows and other treats over the fire.

Karina
When she was asked about a ghost story or horror story she looked confused about the question. "I don't have any stories like that, if he can talk he hasn't done it up until now, though he makes strange sounds some times that makes my brain feel fuzzy trying to understand it." She was pretty honest and straight forward about it all but that was just something she had to be as she was still inexperienced and young she wasn't a hero of old or one of these new age heroes like Yuurei and Kaito. She had no magical talent but she could use her mana with weapons so she was more set on that path along with her being able to transform and be able to do a lot of things and maybe make a splash on her own if she didn't end up dying before then by biting off more than she can chew.

She had trained hard so she should be able to handle some normal situations but bigger ones will still catch her in the end if she wasn't careful, but for those she could let the beast out to help her but that was something that she didn't do a lot as that power makes her feel more blood thirsty than she liked to be but she will need to learn to over come it and control it as she goes but that will be a bit of time and training that she didn't have the time for yet. "What is it like to be a vampire?" Sunshard looked up at Karina when she asked that.

Targa
Targa raised an eyebrow at the question as she considered how to answer. "What’s it like to be a vampire, huh?" She looked up at the sky for a moment, her gaze distant. "It’s... complicated, I suppose. On one hand, there are the perks. My body is stronger than it used to be, the heightened senses, the ability to heal faster than most. And, of course, there’s a certain escaty that comes with being what I am. But it’s not all charm and mystery. There’s a constant hunger, a part of me that always craves more, whether it's blood or the thrill of magic. I have to build up a lot of mental fortitude to not give into my dark impulses. I rely on blood donations and purchase from hospitals. I feed on animals, though they taste nasty. On rare occasions I can get my hands on a magical beast and those vary in taste with some being amazing. I know this all must sound pretty gross. Truth be told, it was gross to me at first too as I didn't grow up a vampire...I was only recently turned in order to save my life since my magic was destroying my body."

Targa leaned forward slightly, her voice softening. "It can be lonely, too I wager. Living longer than most people around you means I will eventually see a lot of them come and go. Friends, loved ones... it will all eventually becomes a blur after a while. You have to learn to cherish the moments you have, even if they’re fleeting. And then there’s the fact that most people either fear you or want something from you. It’s hard to find genuine connections when people see you as some kind of monster or legend."

She shrugged, her gaze returning to Karina. [b]"But I make do. I focus on the good things; like meeting interesting people, experiencing the world, and learning new magic. I guess being a vampire is like anything else in life: it’s what you make of it and as long as I can keep making the best of it, I think I’ll be alright. I suppose the greatest benefit is I'll hopefully live long enough to learn about all kinds of magic. Oh I love magic, I study it all the time...Speaking of which, what kind of magic do you use? What are it's pros and cons? Maybe I've already studied it."

At the mention of magic, if one ever could quantify happiness, it was on Targa's face. She really did love it on a level most didn't. She didn't find it just a tool, but something to cherish.

Karina
The woman listened to the woman tell her story and the things that she had to do to get by and whens he said magical beasts Sunshard moved away from the woman and stayed on the other side of Karina. Karina wondered what that was about she figured that it was just he didn't want to be a treat for a hungry vampire and really Karina wouldn't want to be snacked on either but this woman was being very upfront about it so she doubts that the woman would move to try and take a sneaky nibble on her or anything. She felt the same kind of thing as a werewolf and an urge to do darker and more beast type of things. "I as a werewolf also feel the distance between myself and others and a beast like want to do things I know I shouldn't my werewolf side was a bit of a late bloom, to the point my mother thought I hadn't gotten it till one day I had transformed when I was upset about something."

She heard the woman going on about magic and stuff and she wondered what kind of magic this woman had that it would have harmed her body and forced her to have to become a vampire. When the woman asked her about what magic she had she rubbed the back of her head. "I don't have magic I fight with a gun as my weapon to channel my mana. I know it isn't as impressive of type of way to fight but it is my way to fight. What magic do you have that caused such chaos for you?" She was not sure that she had asked that in a good way or not but she would listen to the woman if she were to tell her what magic she had or she would respect that the woman didn't want to tell her but either way she thinks she might want to learn to like this woman and see where this goes.

Targa
Targa listened carefully to Karina, nodding thoughtfully as she shared her experience with being a werewolf. She had no idea she was a werewolf. She was expecting there to be some sort of outward telling, like her and her fangs. If there was she wasn't able to see it. "I understand that feeling well, Karina. It’s like living with two natures constantly at odds. But, in a way, it makes us stronger, doesn’t it? We learn to control it, to live with it, and maybe even embrace it in time."

When Karina spoke about her fighting style, Targa’s eyes lit up with curiosity. "A gun, huh? That’s impressive in its own way. You don’t need magic to be strong, trust me. I’ve seen plenty of people who fight with pure skill, and sometimes that’s even more terrifying than magic. But as for me..." Targa paused, thinking carefully about how much to reveal. "My magic... it’s crash magic. It is pure destruction, though I use it for the betterment of others. It used to destroy me from the inside out until I was turned in an effort to save my life..." There was more to the story, but Targa didn't feeling like sharing more than she had. [b]"Well, I should get going. The night is still young, and I’ve got a few more things to pick up before I head out. It was nice talking with you, Karina. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again. And who knows? Maybe next time I’ll tell you about the time I met a dragon. They’re not all as scary as they say." Though she hadn't actually met a dragon, it just sounded cool to say.
