The Bonfire Event

@"Appren" (dont forget to tag me so I know when you post~~~)

Morgan had been approached by a student she had never seen before. "Hello, im Morgan Ferris, a pleasure to meet you.". She stuck her hand out towards the stranger for a friendly handshake. She wondered if this person recognized her? She was Student Council President and all.

Skyroger

After spacing out for a bit, Sky remembered that he had not eaten lunch for that day. He immediately got out of his resting state and began wandering around looking for sustenance.

After walking halfway around the bonfire, he spotted a table filled with marshmallows, and Thresher, who was observing the bonfire. Approaching with restrain, he poked the lone wolf and calmly asked, "Can I have some 'mallows?"

Adder

Things finally seemed to be settling out. Adder still didn't have a consistent place to sleep, but didn't seem to draw too much attention if he bounced between a couple of different places, and he had a couple of places with decent odds of finding food. The city-smelling packages of food he kept finding helped.

Those packages still bothered him but he ate them anyway. Food was food and he felt no growing obligation to the person who left them. He was always careful to check them for contamination, for anything that might be part of a trap, but he ate them. He needed the energy, especially with winter rapidly approaching in this strange place.

A rich-person bonfire with unrestricted access and free food was kind of perfect, but like that halloween party he'd tried it was just... too busy. So he hung on the outer edge, in the cold he didn't want, and tried to find some benefit to coming. He'd spent plenty of energy getting here. He wanted to at least get that investment of resources back.

There also seemed to be wolves present. Wolves were. Hm. Interesting, to Adder. They were high-risk, but also familiar in a way that even feral dogs and cats couldn't touch. And the wolf he could smell also seemed to be an individual person. Not an animal, a person.

When he drew closer, he also picked up the scent of food. Finally - but it was a puzzle. The food was clearly in the wolf's territory. Adder crept closer, ears upright and alert and his yellow eyes flicking from one person to the next.

Too many people, but crowds he could use. He probably couldn't outrun a wolf while carrying a deer carcass, however much he'd like to, but he had a knife. He could at least make off with a good chunk of muscle.

He crept closer.

As Thresher conversed with the unknown girl, Cana ran over by him. She was running around like crazy at the bonfire. She liked being outside! Being outside was fun. The little girl felt energized. Her powers led her to be in pup form for her romp around the campsite. As she kept running around, she found herself feeling hungry. It didn't take much for her to find her father with all the delicious food. She bolted over to him, but stumbled as her form suddenly shifted to human.

The four-year-old faceplanted in front of the stranger that prepared to question her Papa. She lifted her face from the ground and blinked. There were no signs of injury or harm on her. There was just a bit of dirt on her tiny body at best. She sat up and glanced eagerly at her father, but of course she avoided his eyes entirely because she did not wish to challenge him.

"Papa!"

Her head turned to the girl. She knew this was a social gathering, but she always held caution against strangers. Thankfully Papa was here; he would not let anything happen to her. She tilted her head and blinked.

"Who're you?"

Thresher looked back around to Sky as he got poked. The large man lifted a bag of marshmallows from the table and handed them to the smaller man.

He paused a little bit just before dropping it into Sky's hands. He sniffed at the air, trying to pinpoint the odd scent he detected in the air. His eyes scanned the crowds, searching for the non-wolf that seemed to be approaching.

and then Cana arrived and broke his attention for a few moments. His head turned back towards the little girl and blinked a little bit as she skidded to a stop in front of them. He wasn't worried that she was hurt or anything, but he did gesture to his side with his head, indicating she should stay closer to him for the moment.

He then simply returned his gaze to the crowds, not acting on the odd scent just yet. The wolf stood there with his arms folded across his chest, waiting.

Emilie Kiden

Emilie stared up at the wolf man as he spoke the strange common tongue towards her. She could read his facial expression that said he was confused and yet the way he spoke said he was demanding something of her but since she couldn't understand it that left her confused. She moved uncoordinated when she walked upright like she was 'supposed' to so she didn't and instead pulled her brows together to convey her confusion as well. It was then a small child tripped her way in to view.

Emilie recognized her vaguely though not sure how and waved in greeting, "Emilie." She pointed to herself in reply even if she only recognized the word, 'you' out of the young girl's question. It was onyl when Thresher signaled the child closer that Emilie looked around the crowd for the odd one out and found Adder's deep yellow eyes on the fringes. She didn't comment or stop him but watched him out of the corner of her eye as she looked back to to Thresher again.

Rory Voltaire

The blonde pulled his skewer from the fire and poked the fluff at the tip of it. Finding it to be not quite burnt enough to his taste he thrust it back in to the flames and flashed Emily a blinding smile. "I'm Rory Volaire, it's nice to meet you too." He glanced around at the others, some new members to join the bonfire and some were already there but seemed to be less bored than when he first arrived. When nothing took his attention the boy looked back at Emily's cards and shrugged, "How does it work then? I'm curious. I think I might have seen it before but I never got the chance to ask about them at that time."

Adder

There was a lot going on around the food-guarding wolf. There didn't seem to be a particular protocol to accessing it, though. That one random guy just walked up, asked for marshmallows, and got a bag. Did that extend to the meat as well? He would take marshmallows if he had no other option but meat made for much better food. Hm.

Adder crept a bit closer. Was the shifting child-wolf with the adult wolf? His child? Was there a full pack around here? That was much, much more of a threat than a lone adult, though any mature wolf was a risk and competition. His stomach growled. How much of a risk. That was the question. He wasn't interested in starting a war with a pack. That was a risky waste of resources, especially with winter approaching. He could fight for territory in the spring. Not when he needed to focus on developing shelter.

A bit closer again. He'd met that girl before. On his escape. She had been at the school. Perhaps it wasn't as much of a prison as he'd feared, but he still had no intention of going near it again. Not with that connection to that snare-setting idiot.

Allen smiled and shook her hand.
"My name is Allen Leoheart. I'm new to the island!"
He sat down next to Morgan, again hoping he wasn't being rude or awkward.
"So...what do you do around here?"
Allen was a bit hesitate and nervous.

It was then Cana smelled another wolf among the crowd. She didn't recognize the scent, so she was immediately cautious. The girl followed her father's instructions and moved by his side. She clung close to him and remained vigilant. The amount of strangers were a little too much for her. At least one of them gave out their name. She nodded at the girl and proceeded to point at her.

"Emilie."

She then pointed at herself.

"Cana."

One guy just appeared to be interested in the marshmallows. She wanted both the meat and the marshmallows. She was that hungry. Her eyes then spotted Adder. She moved slightly behind Thresher. The little girl clung onto the giant man. Her eyes stared at the yellow-eyed wolf man. Was he friendly? She didn't bother speaking. She let his actions do the talking.

Thierry walked into the woods, a handful of skewers in one hand, and a bag full of tiny wieners in the other hand. He had done a lot of research on these kinds of things, so he knew that you either brought marshmallows or you brought sausages, and Thierry wasn't really clear on what a marshmallow was, so he defaulted to bringing a bunch of sausages.

When he got there he sat at a bench that wasn't being occupied, skewered one of the sausages, and stuck it into the fire. He watched it at it plumped up to a delicious size... then started to turn hard and brown before the sausage itself burst into flames.

The how-to guide assured him this was very normal, even as an eight year old sat staring as his sausage burned into a shriveled bit of coal on the end of his skewer.
