“Efi, may the Maker help me, if you get into that lake, I am going to sit on you until you beg for a-”

Too late. She was in the water. He yelped, despite the fact that the girl could swim, and shucked off his shirt and kicked off his shoes to jump in after her - sure, it was only making a bigger mess, but you couldn’t just threaten her and then not follow through.

Besides - the idea of a swim was rather soothing, especially after that talk with Bethany.

“Come here, you impossibly cute monster.”

@lieatre

[lieatre]

Efi barely heard Anders. She'd long since decided that she was gonna swim in the lake. Why put it here if it wasn't for swimming? Besides, it wasn't like there were signs saying no swimming and Anders hadn't actually told her no.

With a yelp of excitement, she jumped into the water. For a moment her head was underwater and then she was popping back up, kicking her small legs to keep aloft. She looked over at Anders, smiling as he started to come in after her. He was gonna swim too! This was feeling more like a game than anything else.

"Never!" she shouted before trying to swim away. Only she'd never been taught how to actually swim. The best she could do was a slow dog paddle away from Anders. "Catch me if you can!"

[lieatre]

“An invitation? Yay! I’ve only been to one party before and that doesn’t really count.” It doesn’t count as a party if you don’t get to enjoy the party and instead are worrying about if your papa’s gonna die.

“This is gonna be great!”

[lieatre]

;; This is Efina’s outfit for the ball! She has a backup outfit on standby for when she inevitably jumps into the lake with this outfit on.

“Well…” Neiro huffed as she tried to think of options on what to do with the wolf. Scout did mention that she nearly got eaten because she was carrying a bag after that one incident (she assumed it was meat) so…Maybe some meat might help?

It was worth a try; now if they could find some meat around here (she actually doubt it; there wasn’t a store that was open) or…wait. Maybe she could–

“W-We’re going to have to run to the forest, I think that’s the only way we can get it to go back without hurting it…!” Neiro decided as she held her hand out for the girl to hold,

“Don’t worry, I’ll try to get us out of the forest once the wolf is safely in; I promise.”

[lieatre]

Efi nodded, face pulling together into the most serious look she could. It made sense to her. Wolves came from forests, didn't they? They could easily lose the wolf there. Then it and them would be safe. "I trust you!" She'd only just met this girl, but she had helped her and Efi was so used to making new friends that knowing her for a minute didn't matter.

"We need to get ahead of it, right? Ooh, I have a plan. Start running!" Efi took off down the street, towards the forest and hoping her new friend was following her. The wolf growled, baring its fangs before barreling after. Perfect. She kept an eye on it and her friend, waiting till the wolf was almost on top of her to spin around. Her eyes widened, flashing a bright pink, and an invisible barrier knocked the wolf back. It was gone a moment later, but the wolf was pushed back and they were closer to the forest. "Come on!"

[lightmorphogeneticfield]

Thank god he’d had so much experience being an older brother – he couldn’t even count the amount of times Clover had flung herself at him –or else he might have dropped her. Opening his arms, he grounded himself and caught her with ease, holding her tight to his chest.

“Thank god you’re alright.” He breathed in relief, kissing the top of her head affectionately and staying there like that for a moment. After a while, his arms relaxed (and stopped shaking, he had been so worried), shifting her over against his hip like one might a toddler. That way, his right arm was still open to swing his pipe should he need to.

“Are you alone? Do you have anyone watching you?” Had she come here alone? Had she been in the building when it had been destroyed? That couldn’t be possible, could it? She wasn’t dead and he couldn’t see but it didn’t seem like she was terribly injured.

[lieatre]

Hugs. The quickest way to calm her down, chasing away all her fears even in a terrifying situation like the one she now found herself in. She pressed her face against his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging tightly to him. He was here! He was safe! A weight was gone and she slowly relaxed in his arms. She nuzzled against his cheek as he shifted her to his hip, moving her hands to cling tightly to his shirt.

She looked down at the pipe he held before looking him over, eyebrows knitting together as she scrutinized him. He looked fine, much to her relief. She nodded, shoulders slumping. "I haven't found anyone else since the monsters came. I came here by myself. I wanted to find Mr. Iruka, but the orphanage is gone..." She sniffled but refused to let any tears fall. It wasn't as scary with Light here, so she shouldn't cry. "Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, right?"

[eqxitum-archived-blog]

The knight glanced down to the source of the small voice beside her. A little girl donning earmuffs, her expression and voice laced with naught but concern. Saber was bewildered at her question; she, a knight, could handle herself just fine but this little girl… why was she out here on her own? Anger formed within the pit of her stomach for just a moment. These people, targeting children of all people. These scientists, taking children into their midst. It was cruel.

“Young one, you needn’t concern yourself. I am perfectly alright.” The commotion up ahead was becoming more and more apparent. She didn’t want this little girl to get caught in the middle of all of this. “It is dangerous here, do you have somewhere safe where you may stay until all of this blows over?”

[lieatre]

Efi's ears twitched underneath the earmuffs at the noises of commotion. She leaned a bit to the side to see past the woman, wondering if she should just run over and see what was going on. But it'd be rude to run away from the woman, right?

"Um." Her shoulders fell as she hunched in on herself, shaking her head. "Yes. There's the Orphanage. But I wanna help! I'm strong and I can fight! I don't wanna sit back while people are hurt." She'd thought of hiding, and she'd run away a few times when overwhelmed by the sheer number of angry people, but she wasn't going to run away again. Now she had a friend who she could fight with and even if she wasn't physically strong she was fast and had magic. That had to be enough to help, right?

"It sounds like someone's in trouble over there," she said, pointing towards the commotion. "We should help."

[lieatre]

;; non-event threads are gonna be on hold for a bit both here on efi and on my cass blog (idontkill).

[lieatre]

@eqxitum

She'd been chased more than once in the last few days because of her ears. More specifically, it was because she wasn't human. For the most part she was able to pass off being human, but her pointy, twitchy ears always gave her away. She didn't care that she wasn't human, and she didn't care that others were. When she'd first arrived and found out about how much humans and nonhumans had come to hate each other in recent months, she'd tried helping in her own little ways. Posters and happy greetings and trying to be the nicest she could.

Now it had turned violent, with citizens attacking anyone who had powers or wasn't human (she had to question the first one... didn't they have powers now too?). Back home she'd hidden her ears with earmuffs. Dragons were worth a lot and according to her papa there were people who'd try hurting her just to get that money. It was better to hide her ears and only reveal that she was a dragon when they knew she was safe. Only she tended to two people she was a dragon a lot...

In any case, she'd found a pair of earmuffs that now sat carefully on her head, hopefully hiding her ears. It made her feel safer as she ran up to the first person she saw. "Are you okay? Do you need help?"

[lieatre]

@somethingaboutdrills

Efi wasn't used to fighting actual people, not any that were fully aware of what they were doing anyway. Lies and lie consumed people were all she'd ever fought and that was because she could save them. Now she was fighting actual people because they wanted to kill her. (It felt so weird even thinking that.)

She dodged a blast of lightning, getting showered in dust and dirt and a couple smaller rocks in the process. She pressed her ears against her head, keeping an she on the couple people in front of her. She couldn't easily run away, not with another man behind her, which meant her only option was fighting. She opened her mouth wide and blew a small flame at the one closest to her. It was the best she could do, with no strength behind her punches and most of her magic still gone.

She readied for another blast of fire, the heat of the flames building in her chest. Before she could breath it at another person, though, she was suddenly lifted off the ground by her neck. "H-Hey! Let go!" She kicked her legs, trying to get out of the man's grip.

[lieatre]

@gentlelxllaby

Efi had been created to help people. The way she was supposed to help was by eating people's lies, saving them from being consumed by them, but fighting off monsters wasn't that different. She had to fight the lies anyway, so she could fight off monsters just as easily. With all her powers back, it couldn't be that difficult. Even if she was scared... But she'd helped people back home when scared, pushing away her own fears in order to do what she'd been made for. She had to do something, she couldn't just let her fears get the better of her.

She'd fought off a few drones earlier, but now she was walking around the destroyed city, climbing over piles of rubble as she tried to find people to help. She slide down a hill of cement and bricks, stumbling as she reached the ground. The reason she'd gone down the pile had been because of a girl only a bit farther down the street, who she quickly ran towards. "Do you need help?" she asked the older girl, waving her hands around to garner her attention. "It's really scary out here so I'm helping fight stuff and save people."

[lightmorphogeneticfield]

Back To The Nest ;; Efi

@lieatre

It had been too long and Efi hadn’t been answering his messages. Did she even have a phone? Surely she’d been in the city longer than a month, but who was really to say? Time moved strangely in the city, to him at least, and it was hard to tell where one day ended and another began.

Slipping through the streets, Light only once or twice got caught by a stray Drone, but his pipe made decent work and he was impressed that he even managed to kill a few. The Drones were only six foot, a few inches shorter than himself, so he knew where on the head to hit to cause maximum damage. He wasn’t going to start a kill count, but he wasn’t a weak fighter,

Jogging up to the orphanage, Light took a moment to catch his breath as he cocked his head slightly and listened for movement, keeping his own quiet and light.

“Efi?” He called softly, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself and endanger them both. “Efi, are you here?”

[lieatre]

It was gone. The orphanage was a pile of dust and rubble just like the other buildings around it, destroyed by the monster that still roamed around the sector. She sat where the orphanage should have been, legs pulled to her chest and head buried against her knees. Had anyone been in it when it had been destroyed? What if one of her friends were hurt? The last she'd seen of Mr. Iruka he'd been in the orphanage with the other kids. He had to have gotten out, right? No way he'd still been in there.

She sniffled, wiping at her nose but only managing to smear the dirt and dust on her face. She'd gone back to the orphanage in hopes of finding somewhere safe to stay and, at the same time, her friends. She hadn't seen much of anyone since everything had started and she needed to make sure they were okay. Now she wasn't even sure if Iruka was alive...

Her ears perked up as a familiar voice reached her, lifting up her head to look in that direction. Mr. Light? She stood up and looked around. Having spotted him, she ran as fast as possible towards him, throwing herself at him. "Mr. Light, you're here!"

[summonxgun-blog]

“Huh?!” Neiro turned to see a little girl running from…wait, are those wolves?! Drones, she can deal with. Wolves? That was on a whole different level here; nearly got bitten by one once.

That was not a pretty time. Well, she wasn’t transformed, but she wasn’t willing to let her HP dwindle, so she opted to summon her GunShield in their Shield form when she got closer to the wolves. So, instead of listening to the little girl and actually run away, she ran towards the wolf, summoning her shield in the process and–

“Hrk!” she clipped the wolf on it’s side with the edge of her shield, resulting in the wolf being pushed back  and her trying to block the wolf from getting to the girl; standing in front of the wolf with her shield up,

“Can’t believe the wolves are here…” she panted, arms shaking a little bit from the strain.

[lieatre]

Efi slowly came to a stumbling stop, bright eyes staring at the older girl as she ran towards the wolf. That wasn't what she'd said to do! Even if that shield that suddenly came into existence was pretty cool and she found herself enamored as she watched the woman attack the wolf. She didn't know you could use a shield to attack too!

"I didn't think wolves existed here," she said quietly, eyes on the wolf as it got back to its feet. "Maybe we can get it to go away without hurting it." Sure, the wolf was ferocious and trying to attack them, but there was no need to hurt the animal. She didn't like the idea of hurting people and she didn't like the same idea when it came to animals. "But if we have to, I'll help you."

The wolf growled, baring its fangs and making Efi jump back. She was really starting to miss the days of selling information, days where there was no real danger. "Uh, so what do we do, miss?"

[lieatre]

@redpxperscout

“Run,” Efi shouted. Her tiny legs pushed her as fast and as far as they could as she attempted to escape from the people following behind her. She should have hidden her ears like she had back home. For the first half of her life she'd work earmuffs, covering up her pointy ears so no one would recognize her as a dragon. Dragons were worth a lot, which meant that any criminal who saw her ears would want to take her away from her papa. The earmuffs had kept her safe from the criminals that wanted her for money. Now she had no earmuffs and, in a place where so many humans hated non-humans, she was regretting that she hadn't bought a new pair.

She'd stumbled upon the angry group, not realizing that they'd see her ears and only see a freak that didn't deserve to exist. She hadn't even known to run from them until a blast of fire shot from one of their hands. She moved just in time, the fire warming up her arm but never burning it. Now she was running for all her worth, hoping that they'd either get tired and leave her alone or she could escape them by darting into hidden areas. Only there was someone standing farther down the street, unaware of the baby dragon and group of angry citizens running towards her.

Efi waved her arms around, shouting again at the woman. She could hear pounding feet behind her, angry voices shouting words and curses that she tried to block out. "Run away!"

[lieatre]

@aquatempestate

She was ready to fall asleep on her feet. Her entire body ached and the excitement at having her powers back had quickly worn off as the seriousness of the situation reached her. The monsters that walked across the city, the sector that had been entirely destroyed, all the people getting hurt or killed as they tried to stop the monsters and drones. She'd done her best to help the last few days, but now she was simply exhausted. Her legs and arms felt heavy and each step took more and more energy.

Efi was close to falling asleep on the floor when her eyes fell upon a man not much farther down the street. She hurried up to reach him before he moved on, grabbing onto his sleeve to catch his attention. She rubbed at her eyes with her free hand, biting back a yawn. The sun had gone down an hour earlier and the monsters had fallen asleep soon after, leaving the city in a stiff silence. It seemed like now would be the only time to sleep, but the only sleeping areas seemed to be the ground covered with dust and cement and pieces of broken buildings. She wasn't sure she'd actually be able to sleep on that...

"Mister, is there someplace to sleep around here?" she asked, keeping her voice low as if worried that any sound would wake up the monsters.

—✕ █ ▌Little girls shouldn’t be swimming in cold rivers. Not with whatever bacteria may lurk underwater, or with inhibiting clothes weighing one down. And who knows if the scientists decided to throw a giant squid into the city for shits and giggles? Thus, he stands with mud up to the ankles of his boots, a stern eye cast out towards the young lady whom, in his opinion, has bitten off more than she can chew. Loghain’s mouth forms a thin, hard line, and despite the harshness of his features, he is not at all a terrifying man. If anything, he appears almost comical, hopeless, standing ashore with only two choices: yell or chase after her. He decides upon the former.

❝Fun, until you’ve contracted a virus or caught a cold or found yourself being bit by a fish.❞

[lieatre]

Bacteria, giant squids, whatever horrors existed in the lake and river, they didn't matter to Efi. All that did matter was that she was having fun. There hasn't been many chances for swimming back home, even though she loved it. Now she knew where a lake was and could go swimming whenever she wanted! She kicked her legs to keep her afloat, listening to the man as he yelled at her. He didn't look that mean or angry, but he definitely had the no nonsense voice that Teo did. "Are there fish here? Fish sounds tasty!" She looked around, kicking her legs harder. Mm, she wanted fish.

She turned her attention back to the man after a few moments, pouting. "I don't get sick," she mumbled. Despite her words, she started swimming towards the bank. She may argue with words, but when it came to actions she tended to listen to the adults.

[iruka-senseitional-blog1]

Whenever Iruka isn’t out on the streets protecting people caught up in the mayhem, he’s here at the orphanage. He hasn’t seen his apartment in days, but this is hardly the first time he’s operated under less than ideal conditions.

Today is for taking care of the children; Iruka’s in the middle of preparing to go out and search for the one child who was missing during his headcount when she comes through the door herself. He breathes a quiet sigh of relief before moving around the corner to greet her.

“There you are, Efi,” he says in a gentle voice as he walks closer to take a look at her. But he stops a couple of feet short and crouches on the balls of his feet, hands held out and facing up in a nonthreatening display. Efina doesn’t know him as well as she does some of the other staff, and Iruka has no way of knowing if she saw enough out there to make her skittish. It goes against all of his instincts to be this open and vulnerable, even around children and people he knows, but he’ll do it anyway.

“Io and Korra aren’t here right now, but I’m staying.” He sees the streaks of blood and refrains from immediately going over to take care of it and check her for any worse injuries; instead, he asks: “Are you badly hurt, Efi?”

[lieatre]

She tensed at the voice, taking a step back before Iruka walks around the corner. She silently berated herself for being so scared. She should have recognized his voice. She shouldn't have been scared simply by someone talking to her. She'd called out, hadn't she? She'd expected an answer so why had her heart jumped when he'd spoke? She was so stupid. She forced herself to unwrap her arms from around herself, looking up at him. Her hands shook, but she couldn't tell whether it was from the stress of everything or the fear she felt. Her ears stayed pressed against her head.

"They're not here...," she repeated, face falling. She liked Iruka, but she knew Io and Korra more. Her stomach twisted and she bit her bottom lip, chewing on it. What if they were hurt? They shouldn't be out there. It wasn't safe. She didn't like any of this. She hated not knowing where her friends were when everything was so scary. She twisted at her skirt, shaking her head. "N-No. I'm fine. Just a few cuts." She hurt a bit, but it wasn't that bad. She'd earned worse injuries when fighting lies.

She slowly moved forward, slipping her tiny hand into his. "Are you okay?"

[lieatre]

@headmastering

"Mr. Oz!" She was so glad to see the familiar face of the headmaster. The only people she'd seen that day with the citizens and as soon as they'd seen her ears their faces had twisted with anger and they'd ran after her. She'd only barely escaped the last one, legs shaking as she moved unsteadily through the city. She'd received a few cuts and bruises during the chase, but she considered herself lucky that she hadn’t received worse. Now she was racing on those shaking legs towards Oz, throwing her arms around one of his. 

"Mr. Oz. I can't believe I found you."
