And we're back!

Why don't we just snap...?

MASTERPOST!

CURRENT CHAPTER: MEET THE TRIO!

ARC: 1

AVAILABLE MUSES: GingerBrave, Strawberry Cookie, Wizard Cookie

WELCOME TO THE SHATTERED LIGHT ASKBLOG! Before we begin, let’s start with basic info and rules!

AU info!

This is an AU where the oventrio have their long-required crashouts and cease their assistance to the Ancients. What will our little heroes do with their newfound freedom?

TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Mental Breakdowns PTSD Episodes Gore (Candy gore-) Graphic Depictions of Violence (More may be added in the future…)

Rules and DNI

No NSFW asks, nuh uh not here.

Unfortunately no magic anons. You guys are kind of just ghost spectators that can ask questions to the muses. They know you’re there, but you’re behind an invisible screen to them.

Have fun asking ofc, make them uncomfortable! Good stuff spills when cookies want you to stop prodding…

Basic DNI lists, no pedos, any type of hateful group (ESPECIALLY RACISTS AND ANTI-LGBT, I AM A BLACK LESBIAN, STAY MAD)

Though (don’t start screaming at me) Proshippers will be allowed, BUT I DO NOT RESPECT YOUR SHIP. I respect and will be a decent person to the person underneath.

We never know what the person behind the ship is like mentally. If anything, they could be a victim of THAT and be using proshipping as a coping mechanism.

Get mad at me all you want, idc.

(One more thing, proshippers, please don’t ship the minors and adults in this AU. That’s the only thing I ask of you.)

Anyways, getting away from that negative stuff—

HAVE FUN, HAPPY ASKING!

Oh yeah—

Yo gang... anyone wanna adopt this AU-

Ik this is sudden, but as many of you have seen in the months past, I have very quickly lost my passion for this blog and story. It's even more unfortunate that we're not even fully into the story yet.

I'd hate to see this half started story go to waste so I have a little plan.

Reblog this post with a little introduction to yourself and a reason why you think you should adopt Shattered Light.

I'll give this until.... April 14th, 6PM EST. Then I'll go through the rbs and choose someone.

You can apply for it individually, or even with a few friends! Idc, just as long as you care for these little guys more than I do...

If you're worried about what will happen to the blog after the selection, it'll probably stay up for archiving purposes and for inspo for the new owner

Thanks for reading through this.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave nodded and smiled,

“Well I’m pretty grateful! Thanks!”

Wizard gasped as he heard those words fall out of his mouth, he said “Thanks”…

Jealousy Jealousy!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave glared harder. Wiz chuckled.

"At least someone has manners!"

Strawb wondered how flammable GingerBrave's hair was...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave had a goofy grin in return,

“Yup!”

He gloater with pride, Wizard was not impressed,

“Well, I don’t remember getting many thanks from you.”

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz raised an eyebrow. Huh...

[witchhunt-au]

”Well yeah, that’s because you’re a bitch.”

Gingerbrave excused, looking between the two of them nervously.

“Well maybe you should he more like Brave, he seems a lot nicer and much more genuine.”

Wizard scoffed, Gingerbrave groaned,

“Whatever, I did appreciate the food though!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You are pretty rude though..."

Brave huffed.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave huffed and glared at him,

“Yeah but you’re too nice.”

He added, nudging his shoulder with his elbow.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"But that's good!"

He said

[witchhunt-au]

”Suuuure, you were nice and offered to help, look where you are now.”

He shot back with a snicker and stood up, stretching.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"SHUT UP!!"

He growled. This guy was starting to piss him off...

"Leave him alone, gym rat."

She quietly roasted.

[witchhunt-au]

He raised his hand in mock surrender,

“Alright, alright!”

He chuckled and leaned back, starting to eat his food. Wizard once again began apologizing for his impudence.

Strawberry woke up with a yawn… what happened??

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Both Brave and Strawb weren't happy at all. Wiz looked away awkwardly...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ahem… so when are we going to continue moving?”

Wizard asked, trying to divert the conversation.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, as soon as we pack up camp."

Wiz quietly said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Wonderful! Let’s get to it then!”

He clapped his hands and got up, Gingerbrave and Strawberry glared at him with stuffed mouths.

“After food!”

[crystaliakit]

Brave ate quietly. Wiz cleaned up everything else

[witchhunt-au]

Those other two were voracious, they didn’t leave a single crumb.

Wizard stared at them with a sigh, using a fancy fork and knife to eat his fish- hey where did he find that!?

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave and Strawb ate somewhat nicely. With their hands of course.

Wiz wasn't hungry, he was thinking...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stood up and stretched, so did Strawberry- but she was muuuuch more flexible.

Wizard finished his food and snapped the utensils away.

“I see we’re ready, hm?”

“Yup!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz nodded.

"Let's keep going..."

Strawb picked up her bag and lugged Brave up.

Then, they were off again...

[witchhunt-au]

Half way through their trip, Gingerbrave started complaining, AGAIN.

“Uuugh, when are we gonna get somewhere less coooold…”

He scoffed, kicking up the snow in a fit. Wizard did his best to ignore his complaints..

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hollyberry Kingdom, where we're going to board..."

That would take a few weeks.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

[oventrio-shattered-light]

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave nodded and smiled,

“Well I’m pretty grateful! Thanks!”

Wizard gasped as he heard those words fall out of his mouth, he said “Thanks”…

Jealousy Jealousy!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave glared harder. Wiz chuckled.

"At least someone has manners!"

Strawb wondered how flammable GingerBrave's hair was...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave had a goofy grin in return,

“Yup!”

He gloater with pride, Wizard was not impressed,

“Well, I don’t remember getting many thanks from you.”

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz raised an eyebrow. Huh...

[witchhunt-au]

”Well yeah, that’s because you’re a bitch.”

Gingerbrave excused, looking between the two of them nervously.

“Well maybe you should he more like Brave, he seems a lot nicer and much more genuine.”

Wizard scoffed, Gingerbrave groaned,

“Whatever, I did appreciate the food though!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You are pretty rude though..."

Brave huffed.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave huffed and glared at him,

“Yeah but you’re too nice.”

He added, nudging his shoulder with his elbow.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"But that's good!"

He said

[witchhunt-au]

”Suuuure, you were nice and offered to help, look where you are now.”

He shot back with a snicker and stood up, stretching.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"SHUT UP!!"

He growled. This guy was starting to piss him off...

"Leave him alone, gym rat."

She quietly roasted.

[witchhunt-au]

He raised his hand in mock surrender,

“Alright, alright!”

He chuckled and leaned back, starting to eat his food. Wizard once again began apologizing for his impudence.

Strawberry woke up with a yawn… what happened??

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Both Brave and Strawb weren't happy at all. Wiz looked away awkwardly...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ahem… so when are we going to continue moving?”

Wizard asked, trying to divert the conversation.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, as soon as we pack up camp."

Wiz quietly said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Wonderful! Let’s get to it then!”

He clapped his hands and got up, Gingerbrave and Strawberry glared at him with stuffed mouths.

“After food!”

[crystaliakit]

Brave ate quietly. Wiz cleaned up everything else

[witchhunt-au]

Those other two were voracious, they didn’t leave a single crumb.

Wizard stared at them with a sigh, using a fancy fork and knife to eat his fish- hey where did he find that!?

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave and Strawb ate somewhat nicely. With their hands of course.

Wiz wasn't hungry, he was thinking...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stood up and stretched, so did Strawberry- but she was muuuuch more flexible.

Wizard finished his food and snapped the utensils away.

“I see we’re ready, hm?”

“Yup!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz nodded.

"Let's keep going..."

Strawb picked up her bag and lugged Brave up.

Then, they were off again...

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He said

[witchhunt-au]

”Suuuure, you were nice and offered to help, look where you are now.”

He shot back with a snicker and stood up, stretching.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"SHUT UP!!"

He growled. This guy was starting to piss him off...

"Leave him alone, gym rat."

She quietly roasted.

[witchhunt-au]

He raised his hand in mock surrender,

“Alright, alright!”

He chuckled and leaned back, starting to eat his food. Wizard once again began apologizing for his impudence.

Those other two were voracious, they didn’t leave a single crumb.

Wizard stared at them with a sigh, using a fancy fork and knife to eat his fish- hey where did he find that!?

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave and Strawb ate somewhat nicely. With their hands of course.

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave nodded and smiled,

“Well I’m pretty grateful! Thanks!”

Wizard gasped as he heard those words fall out of his mouth, he said “Thanks”…

Jealousy Jealousy!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave glared harder. Wiz chuckled.

"At least someone has manners!"

Strawb wondered how flammable GingerBrave's hair was...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave had a goofy grin in return,

“Yup!”

He gloater with pride, Wizard was not impressed,

“Well, I don’t remember getting many thanks from you.”

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz raised an eyebrow. Huh...

[witchhunt-au]

”Well yeah, that’s because you’re a bitch.”

Gingerbrave excused, looking between the two of them nervously.

“Well maybe you should he more like Brave, he seems a lot nicer and much more genuine.”

Wizard scoffed, Gingerbrave groaned,

“Whatever, I did appreciate the food though!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You are pretty rude though..."

Brave huffed.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave huffed and glared at him,

“Yeah but you’re too nice.”

He added, nudging his shoulder with his elbow.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"But that's good!"

He said

[witchhunt-au]

”Suuuure, you were nice and offered to help, look where you are now.”

He shot back with a snicker and stood up, stretching.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"SHUT UP!!"

He growled. This guy was starting to piss him off...

"Leave him alone, gym rat."

She quietly roasted.

[witchhunt-au]

He raised his hand in mock surrender,

“Alright, alright!”

He chuckled and leaned back, starting to eat his food. Wizard once again began apologizing for his impudence.

Strawberry woke up with a yawn… what happened??

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Both Brave and Strawb weren't happy at all. Wiz looked away awkwardly...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ahem… so when are we going to continue moving?”

Wizard asked, trying to divert the conversation.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, as soon as we pack up camp."

Wiz quietly said.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave nodded and smiled,

“Well I’m pretty grateful! Thanks!”

Wizard gasped as he heard those words fall out of his mouth, he said “Thanks”…

Jealousy Jealousy!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave glared harder. Wiz chuckled.

"At least someone has manners!"

Strawb wondered how flammable GingerBrave's hair was...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave had a goofy grin in return,

“Yup!”

He gloater with pride, Wizard was not impressed,

“Well, I don’t remember getting many thanks from you.”

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz raised an eyebrow. Huh...

[witchhunt-au]

”Well yeah, that’s because you’re a bitch.”

Gingerbrave excused, looking between the two of them nervously.

“Well maybe you should he more like Brave, he seems a lot nicer and much more genuine.”

Wizard scoffed, Gingerbrave groaned,

“Whatever, I did appreciate the food though!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You are pretty rude though..."

Brave huffed.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave huffed and glared at him,

“Yeah but you’re too nice.”

He added, nudging his shoulder with his elbow.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"But that's good!"

He said

[witchhunt-au]

”Suuuure, you were nice and offered to help, look where you are now.”

He shot back with a snicker and stood up, stretching.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"SHUT UP!!"

He growled. This guy was starting to piss him off...

"Leave him alone, gym rat."

She quietly roasted.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave nodded and smiled,

“Well I’m pretty grateful! Thanks!”

Wizard gasped as he heard those words fall out of his mouth, he said “Thanks”…

Jealousy Jealousy!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave glared harder. Wiz chuckled.

"At least someone has manners!"

Strawb wondered how flammable GingerBrave's hair was...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave had a goofy grin in return,

“Yup!”

He gloater with pride, Wizard was not impressed,

“Well, I don’t remember getting many thanks from you.”

He shot back, Gingerbrave glared at him. Noooo not in front of the cooler you! Noooo!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz raised an eyebrow. Huh...

[witchhunt-au]

”Well yeah, that’s because you’re a bitch.”

Gingerbrave excused, looking between the two of them nervously.

“Well maybe you should he more like Brave, he seems a lot nicer and much more genuine.”

Wizard scoffed, Gingerbrave groaned,

“Whatever, I did appreciate the food though!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You are pretty rude though..."

Brave huffed.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

Morning came a lot faster when he slept, crazy how that works.

He sat up and yawned,

“Woah… that was weird..”

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Good morning sunshine :3"

He was shirtless. Cooking a fish on the fire. A fish that he most likely caught considering his hair was frozen solid with water.

Brave and Strawb were watching it cook...

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave stared at Wiz, his face turning very red, Wizard saw this and immediately tensed up.

Hell naw,

“Ahem, a bit cold to be without a shirt, is it not?”

He asked, snapping Gingerbrave out of his trance. Uh oh.

“Well, if I can do it he can… I mean well, he’s ice cream too so..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over.

"I jumped into a lake to get you some breakfast, at least pretend to be grateful."

He huffed. Brave glared slightly at GingerBrave.

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy

[witchhunt-au]

”Wehh, I was bored.”

Gingerbrave shrugged in response, his friends glared at him suspiciously.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Don't worry, I wouldn't kiss him."

He huffed. Brave slightly relaxed.

[witchhunt-au]

”Why did you feel the need to say that??”

Wizard glared, Gingerbrave stared at Wiz when he mentioned that.

Strawberry nodded aggressively in agreement, that was VERY suspicious.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Because that would be the conclusion you'd get to eventually."

He said, nonchalantly. Strawb stared at him...

[witchhunt-au]

"... No?"

Wizard shook his head,

"If anything, you're making it seem like-"

Gingerbrave slapped him in the back to shut him up.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"I would never!"

He chuffed.

[witchhunt-au]

"Yeah no, me neither!"

Gingerbrave added to defend himself, more glares were tossed around the group.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wizzy...?"

Brave started to get suspicious again.

"WE WERE SMOKING FOR GOSH SAKE!"

[witchhunt-au]

“YEAH!”

Gingerbrave nodded, tossing a snowball at Brave, Wizard gasped in offense,

“SMOKING!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

He asked, Gingerbrave cackled,

“Hell yeah! And I’ll do it again, hit me!”

He gestured for Wiz to pass him a cigarette.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"OW!"

He threw a snowball before Wiz could throw a cigarette

[witchhunt-au]

”HEY!”

He tossed one back- boi, you started it.

Wizard groaned and glared at them,

“Such idiots..”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

A snowball fight ensued... and the fire went out...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry immediately tried to make another fire, even though she really didn’t know how…

Wizard was trying to get both of the Brave’s attentions,

“BOYS! THE FIRE!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave huffed and stopped, but not before throwing one more.

[witchhunt-au]

It hit Gingerbrave smack dab in his nose. Oof. He wiped the snow off his face aaaaand… his nose was bleeding.

“Gingerbrave..”

Wizard grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his nose. He chuckled and licked off the bit that smothered around his lips.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Wait-- OH crap, sorry..."

Brave apologized, seeing the blood.

"Maybe we should all just... sit down."

Strawberry suggested.

[witchhunt-au]

”Yes, that would be best for us.”

Wizard agreed as he continued to clean Gingerbrave’s face from the blood…

Strawberry stood up and dropped her console in a fit, oh no it died…

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz glanced over at it... then zapped it just enough to charge it.

"There."

[witchhunt-au]

She stopped and stared at it, then smiled at Wiz and went back to playing them video games.

Gingerbrave huffed and glanced over at Wiz once more,

“Seriously though, can I get a cigarette?”

He asked, smiling a bit more than before. WizRd groaned and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

He threw one at him.

"Though, seriously, we have to get on track tomorrow. It's gonna take a while to get to Beast Yeast and find Dark Enchantress..."

[witchhunt-au]

He caught it and made an attempt to light it up, it took a while.

Wizard nodded in agreement while Strawberry wasn’t really paying attention…

Sigh.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"What a hot mess express..."

Strawb muttered

[witchhunt-au]

Sooner or later, Gingerbrave got bored and threw the blunt into the pile of burnt wood. Huh, that did the trick and relit a bit of the wood!

“Oooh!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, sick."

Wiz said, happy the fire was back.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard hovered his hands over the flame, even while gloved, the leather caught the cold as much as his uncovered parts of skin did.

Gingerbrave leaned suuupeer close once more, staring at the flame.

“I know I know, you can thank me!”

He grinned. Wizard and Strawberry raised their brows at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Absolute crickets...

"Why are you cold? Aren't you ice cream too?

Wiz asked his alter

[witchhunt-au]

He paused abd looked up at him, his mouth t open to speak but he paused,

“Well… I just enjoy the heat against my hands.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh... huh."

It then fell into silence.

[witchhunt-au]

“Mhm..”

He nodded and looked away, pulling his hands back to him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave flopped on Wiz. Sleeby...

"Hey..."

He huffed,but still hugged him

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed and flopped down, he stared at the fire as everyone else started to fo to sleep.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz softly hummed under Brave, a lullaby...

[witchhunt-au]

Strawberry yawned and laid back, Wizard relaxed and opened a book and got to reading…

Gingerbrave listened closely to Wiz’s voice…

He fell asleep to that, wish his did the same.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb stared at her duo... God she wished she could take away the baggage they all carried...

She laid on her back and stared at the cloudy sky...

[witchhunt-au]

He looked kinda concerned, but whatev--

"WIZZY! WIZZZZZZY!"

Looks like the big crybaby is awake--

-your friends from @oventrio-shattered-light

Gingerbrave sighed and rolled bis eyes,

“Man, gotta get back to your gang.”

He picked him up and brought him to the others.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave pouted as they came back.

"Hey, why'd you leave with that guy?!"

He huffed. Strawb looked a little worried too.

"Should've at least warned us..."

Wiz waved a hand.

"Yeah yeah..."

[witchhunt-au]

”I was bored, m’kay!”

He plopped Wiz right down and was met with Wizard slapping him in the face.

“Don’t you dare do that!”

Oof…

Strawberry stared awkwardly, of course he did something stupid.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Brave hugged Wiz gently, a bit uneasy with his alter...

"Anyways... we should get going. We gotta stowaway on a ship in order to get to Beast Yeast... but it may take a few months to get across the continent-"

Yeah, A FEW MONTHS.

[witchhunt-au]

”A FEW MONTHS!?”

Gingerbrave gawked, he was not gonna stay in a ship for a few months!!

“Uhh, is there another way?”

Wizard asked, tapping his foot against the ground.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Well, the ship ride's the shortest part, probably just a week. The travel TO the ship though..."

It'll take a bit...

[witchhunt-au]

”Ah, that makes more sense now.”

He nodded in realization, Gingerbrave was still moping about in the background. Strawberry was fine with anything.

She had her video games :3

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Strawb quickly cleaned the campsite.

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard went to help Strawb out, Strawberry and Gingerbrave just kinda sat there, this wasn’t gonna be that fun..

Possibly.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Soon they were on their feet again. They left from the Vanilla Kingdom, so now they had to walk through...

The Dark Cacao Kingdom.

Without getting caught.

Or getting hypothermia.

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave is shirtless. He will freeze to death. Aaaaand that’s exactly what he’s whining about.

“Ugggghhhh! It’s so fucking cold!”

He growled, trying anything to make heat from himself. Strawberry was rubbing her legs together with to try and circulate heat as well, only being in shorts, and going into the snow barefoot wasn’t the best idea.

Wizard on the other hand was doing quite well! He has four layers after all, he’s bound to stay at least a bit warm.

“I suggested we stop by a village and get you two some new clothes, but you refused!!”

He scolded Gingerbrave, whose teeth were chattering by now.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"You, GingerBalls. Shut your bitch ass up before I twist those ginger balls into a bow and throw you into a frozen pond."

Oh-- he was pissed. Even Brave wasn't whining that much...maybe because he was in a wool coat Dark Cacao gifted him...

"Wizard..."

Strawb softly hissed at her Wiz.

[witchhunt-au]

“Oh fuck you, I’d split your twig body into two before you could even get your tiny ass close to me!”

He barked back, returning the same energy.

“Gingerbrave!”

Wizard chided, stomping his foot angrily.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Oh, I'd like to see you try, Timothy Tough Knuckles."

He chuffed. Strawb got in the middle of them.

"Calm down..."

[witchhunt-au]

”Whatever that means, but hell yeah!!”

He also got to cracking his knuckles, Wizard began pulling him away- Strawberry had to help too.

“Oh no you don’t!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz readied his staff.

"WIZ! NOOO!"

Brave pulled him back and ended up falling into the snow with him

"Ack–!"

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave started laughing at them before getting yanked to the ground by his own Wizard.

“HEY!!”

He stared at him with a pissy face, Wizard tutted,

“No, no, we’re not starting fights.”

Strawberry giggled seeing the boys act like this.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

Wiz huffed, got up, and started walking faster. Strawb sighed...boys...

[witchhunt-au]

Wizard huffed and tried to cover Gingerbrave up while the moved along, he was covered in snow from the fall.

He spent the majority scolding him for his stupidity, while Gingerbrave just nodded along in annoyance.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

They reached a suitable resting place in a secluded place. Wiz quietly started a fire.

"Ahhh... nice n toasty."

Brave sighed

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave hummed contently, flopping around onto the ground very close to the fire,

“Warmmmth… finally..!”

He groaned. Wizard clicked his teeth in disappointment.

“This is why you need a coat.”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"He's going to burn himself again."

Strawb deadpanned.

[witchhunt-au]

"Don't jinx it!"

He shot back, sitting up on his bum. Strawberry rolled her eyes at him.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Hope you did."

Wiz sarcastically said.

[witchhunt-au]

”Well how ‘bout I ram your face into the flame, how you like that huh?”

He shot back with a snicker, these two were a confusing dynamic.

“WHAT- NO! DO NOT!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"All bark, no bite little boy."

Wiz chuckled

[witchhunt-au]

”Oh yeah??”

He got up, cracking his knuckles with a chuckle,

“How about I kiss that pretty face goodbye!”

He grinned, Wizard raised his brow in disbelief,

“Gingerbrave, relax, now!”

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Enough."

Strawb glared at them. Wiz immediately folded, shrinking back.

"Geez, what's rocking your socks..."

[witchhunt-au]

Gingerbrave just sourly mocked him. Wizard sighed and sat back down,

“And here I thought you two were going to get along since he chose you to go with him to the river.”

Wizard sighed and rolled his eyes.

[oventrio-shattered-light]

"Why were you guys at the river anyways? What were you doing?"

Brave asked, curious but also kind of huffy
