ORIGIN - Im Dying To Untangle

A little mayhem never hurt anyone,
Where'm I gonna get some? // INESSA

Being trapped inside of that awful rock for so long was agony, it was cramped- annoying. And getting out was even worse, what with being lodged between rocks- wet, slippery rocks. I fell flat on my face after bursting from the pretty rock, and the rest of me fell and slid on the cold surface. All in one movement i jolted upright, bouncing from the cold floor in anger. My tiny body was shivering slightly, and a loud, steady hum grew louder and the air colder as I moved forward. As miserable as I was, i was still curious. I bounced further ahead, stumbling over my tiny legs. And before long i came across a breathtaking view. Though it was cold I was still curious. In front of me was something that towered over me, it rumbled, it roared. And it all fell to my paws in a giant pool. Slowly I moved towards it, seeing an image appear in the clear stuff. It was pretty, it looked real. I swiped a paw down only to distort what I saw. I jumped to the side, only to be followed by the image. My brows furrowed, and and I swiped a paw at it again, only to slip and fall on my stomach, half in the water and half not. I jumped up away from the thing. grrhhhg! I spattered out.

That was enough, this thing was annoying. And now I was wet! Shaking, i tossed my coat. And it seemed I was getting a little too worked up. --

I was getting ready to bound up on to a higher, secluded surface, until I felt the ground beneath my paws shake and tremble- tiny specks and pebbles bouncing and moving around me. I scampered up onto a bigger rock, only to feel the shaking more. My tiny legs slipped and I fell on te top of the rock, trying to keep a grip on the rock. Whoooaaaa!. Vocals were shakey, and soon the vibrations died down, stopping completely. I realized I hadn't even taken in a breath as it all happened, and gasped. My pulse was hammering, almost humming. What was that?!

The world is never quiet,
even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes,
in vibrations which escape our ears.

As for those that we perceive,
they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord,
never a melody.

Another Fennec fox. The whole of Pisces' cave was made of ears-- these little ones just had so many. Between Quix and Al, surely they had enough, but more kept coming in. Ratchet had been swooping over the moist, cool cave, keeping tabs on things while the others rested or whatever it was they did, when he noticed the tiny fluff ball. Freshly hatched, from the glimpse of it.

The puff of red and black came fluttering to the ground, his feathers covered in ivy and fungi-- the work of Enna and the little one, Anan. Thankfully it didn't ruin his ability to fly-- but it did look rather silly to see a bird covered in so much extra life. The ground vibrated under his talons, but he seemed to hardly take notice. This wasn't his first time interacting with an earth gembound. Probably not his last, either!

"Hello there," he greeted, his voice sing-songy but almost deep and rich in texture. Ratchie had been practicing, ever since he decided he was more comfortable considering himself as masculine compared to the others. "I'm Ratchet Bevy, welcome to Pisces."

.Ratchie

He was far, too far from Eridanus but he needed to go back to Pisces for one thing. He'd met a young fox there before and they'd had quite a nice time together. Well... After she stopped being a party-pooper. That could overlooked in light of the fact that it had been around the time of a trial and perhaps her emotions had been running high. A dragon loudly climbing on the side of the walls could put anyone on edge he supposed.

Anyway, he would stop in for a quick moment then be on his way and back to his Bonded. He didn't like leaving the numbat for too long. It made him worry that something might happen in his absence. Booker was all too vulnerable without his large protector with him.

The large dragon lumbered right into Pisces after a bit of travel. His eyes locked immediately on the fox in the room. Ah! There she was, right in the open! She looked smaller... but perhaps that was because he'd grown. Yes! That was it! And... Also... something else seemed off but he couldn't put his claw on it. Something about her head...

He thought on it a moment before he lumbered right up to the pair. He gave a slight respectful dip of his head to the bird, from what he remembered she was the one in charge around here. Kind of silly since she was so small. After all, she couldn't be that useful in a fight could she? "Hello there... um..." What was her name again? Oh yes! He remembered now. "Bevy. I was just popping in to say hi to Quix, hadn't seen her in a bit and..." He stared down at the small fox... That wasn't Quix. Damn it! All these tiny animals looked the same! "Is she here?" He asked as if he hadn't at all mistaken the younger fox for Quix.

And so it seemed that I was not alone, not alone at all. At first, a strange creature fell from above. It was decorated in with other odd items. Then, i heard something come from the creature. I attempted to mimic the sound from what i heard. rrr..rattcht. Bvv..beev. Beevee. Brows furrowed and i scurried to my feet. After finding my balance I made a short and quick pounce and landed near the creature. At the same time of my landing I also cocked my head to the side and lowered it slightly to level off with it, ready to try again but as soon as I opened my mouth all that left it was a "eek!" as I was shrouded by darkness once again. This time the darkness was cast by something, another creature. A very large and scary creature. Jaw dropped, leaving a perfect "o" on my tiny lips. I looked to the small Beevee with the reaction still on my face, and my eyes may as well have been popped completely out. I wasn't sure what I should do, but I wanted to be like the big creature. And with that, I scurried back over to the rocks. I wanted to find a path to take me up to where the creature was, but I was only able to climb so far until my small self couldn't make the climb.

I stood still for a moment as I turned to face the both of them again from the small rocks I found. Looking down at my paws, I pushed off and the pulled backwards. Here I stood on my hind legs, trying to be big like this creature. My front paws dangling in front of me. This would work. I was big now.

Ratchie tilted his head at Baratheon, trying to figure out how he knew the long fluffy dragon. It must have been something with Calypso or something, eugh. "Quix? Oh, I don't know. I'm sure she's around here somewhere," came his immediate chirp, glad to be helpful. Not that his words were particularly helpful. It seemed like the tiny fox had holed up ever since Cancer left. It wasn't surprising anyway, he was like a father to her.

He watched at the tiny fennec tried desperately to get up somewhere tall, and when she couldn't climb anymore, she stretched up on her backlegs-- quite the feat. Had Quix ever done that? The bird chirped, a light laugh echoing from his beak. If he had to guess, it looked like the small fennec was trying to be as big as Baratheon, which he couldn't blame her for. It had taken getting used to being the smallest gembound in Pisces, or perhaps even the entire cave.

"This here is a new gembound. She just hatched! I swear, those big ears love the ringing of the waterfall or something. We're always getting tiny fluffballs," he joked to the dragon, spreading his wings and considering, for a moment, flying up. He kept himself on the ground for now-- no need inspiring the baby to try and jump and fly herself. She didn't have wings after all!

@Baratheon sorry for ze wait my dear

Baratheon huffed smoke out of his nose when the bird answered him. Around somewhere, he didn't feel like traipsing up the sides of the dens again. The last time resulted him being given a stomach ache and much more. He grinned at the memory. "I'll find her again later, I'm sure." Before he could say much more the fox was scampering away, over to a big rock where she stood up and reached upwards with her front legs. Odd. Why was she doing that? His head tilted to the side, large ears comically flopping to the sides of his head as he examined her.

New gembound huh? Perhaps... She was trying to imitate him? Baratheon laughed and straightened his head. "It would seem that way." He said with a smile before he snaked his head over to the small fox. His eyes were soft and kind as he looked down at her. Then, slowly, as not to scare her he tilted his head downwards so he could lower his horn out of the way and clear a spot for her to leap. "At that rate you'll never be my height. Here, allow me to help you, squirt." He offered to her, if she wanted, a ride on his snout so she could get a good view of the whole cavern.
