Killing time (open to anyone)

[Tetroneaque Tailchaser]

Tetroneaque was once again feeling down. Even his crime spree the day before hadn't lifted his mood much. Sure the chase through town with Turkey Legs (whose real name he still didn't know) had been a nice diversion, but she'd gotten angry with the game and left him alone again. Tetroneaque had even used all the loot he'd stolen to basically buy enough drinks to get everyone at the inn stinking drunk, and that still hadn't cheered him up.

He let out a sigh.

"Maybe this place will be entertaining. I just want something different to do!" He called out to the world at large. He doubted anyone could hear him way out here. It seemed most dreambeings avoided this area because of the weird tricks it could play on the mind. Tetroneaque would have welcomed some tricks to the mind, just to change things up. As it was, there seemed to be a whole lot of nothing out this way so far.

[Zack Fall]

((OoC_ just so you know, when Zack's in the dream world, he speaks telepathically. But people can hear him like he's speaking normally when he does xDD.))

So he was a stag then?
This would be odd.

Zack took a couple steps, listening to his hooves sink into the grass and blinking. Hooves. It didn't feel right... not in the slightest. But, if this was his form then... so be it. He'd just have to get used to it.

He started out at a slow trot, before taking up more and more speed. Had he been human, he'd have been whooping with adrenalin about now. So he refrained, merely doing it in his mind. Bt he came to a full on stop as his surroundings seemed to shimmer and change.

There was a purple fox in front of him. The stag paused and blinked. He remembered something one of the other boys in his class had said about the dream world. That there were beings in it. This fox... he must have been one.

As the fox fished his little outburst, Zack snorted slightly, and then... was surprised when his speech sounded almost audible, "You live in a world where just about anything is possible, what are you on about? Stupid fox." the last part was merely added on, Zack's thoughts tended to do that see.

He turned his head slightly, taking in more of his surroundings. This place had to be too good to be true.. and why the hell was Zack a stag?

[Tetroneaque Tailchaser]

Tetroneaque's attention was instantly grabbed by the sudden appearance of a black stag. He idly mused over the idea of killing, cooking, then eating it. Roasted venison was one of his favorites. That idea flew out of his head as the thing spoke to him though, at least Tetroneaque thought it was speaking...it's mouth didn't move though.

"Who are you calling stupid? This world is stifling! You think anything is possible, but it's not. You shouldn't speak so quickly on things you understand so little about. You're lucky I'm not the type to get angry over an offhanded comment." Tetroneaque stated bluntly. His tails started to wag under his robe as he spoke though. A talking stag was something new to him.

"So, why did you say 'a world'? Are you from some other world?" Tetroneaque asked as he approached the stag.

[Zack Fall]

Zack jumped about a foot when the fox replied... like he'd spoken. A "What?!" ran through his head, and he shook his head. The horns still felt odd too.

"Sorry." he paused, "Wait... no I'm not... who are you?" he scraped his hoof along the ground, eyeing the fox's many tails, "Well.. for starters... for some reason I'm some sort of deer and I'm apparently talking to a purple fox with various tails. Tell me how this is possible in the real world."

He laughed again, raising his head in the movement. This was really going to take some getting used to. The fox made his way over to Zack, and said boy-stag took a small step back, "Yeah... I am. This is one really is weird, I guess the guys in my class were right." he chuckled, but had someone been looking at him, they would swear that it came from someone standing behind him. The stag made no implication of speaking at all.

[Tetroneaque Tailchaser]

"Interesting. You seem to communicate telepathically. I suggest you don't think anything you don't want others to hear." Tetroneaque said with a snicker. The fact that this being seemed unfamiliar with how it talked, it's own body, and kept referring to some 'real world' only made it seem more plausible that another world might exist.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tetroneaque Swiftpaw Tailchaser, but most simply call me Tetro for short. And who might you be my otherworldly chum?" Tetroneaque stated in a very friendly manner. It was very genuine too, he rarely tried to hurt anyone or anything.

[Zack Fall]

He merely snorted angrily at the Fox's comment. Lowering his great head a little. "Well then Tetro, I'm Zack Fall." He snickered too and raised his head again, "Call me Zack for short."

He took a few steps past Tetro and paused, "So you live in this world huh?" he tilted his head a little, "Ever get boring?"

In this body, Zack could thing of a heap of things to do, one that included running until the next year. He'd gone pretty fast earlier, he wanted to know just how far he could push this body, or how strong it was. His horns had looked rather handsome... and huge... for that matter in the lake's reflection. Let's just say, they did no overcompensating for any other parts of his human form.

He turned back to the fox, "I can't imagine it though. This place seems pretty weird."

[Tetroneaque Tailchaser]

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance Zack." Tetroneaque said with a sort of formal bow, before doing a back flip for no particular reason.

"Of course I live in this world. It has been entertaining, but after a couple hundred years it starts to lose its luster. Besides, almost everyone here is insane in one way or another. In fact I'm pretty sure I'm insane too, but still sane enough to know I'm insane." Tetroneaque explained with a giggle.

"This 'real world' you speak of though intrigues me. I keep hearing about it every now and then, but even after all this time details are proving quite elusive for me. As you can imagine, this other world is very interesting to me just as this world might be interesting to you... if that makes any sense." Tetroneaque started to pace around Zack, inspecting him.

"So have you always been a telepathic black stag?" He asked slyly.
