ORIGIN

Not absent, but not forcing himself into the light he had merely been working studiously in trying to get a better understanding of what exactly he was controlling. Louie felt he was grasping the basic concepts though, he could create bacteria, the things that appeared to be crawling on everyone and basically make up life. But he could turn them nasty, poison creatures as well as rid them of the nasty bacteria and replacing it with helpful antibodies. Of course the fox had no actual understanding of the scientific terms just yet, but he understood how it was all beginning to work. That hallucinogenic spell he had was something he couldn't crack, and he didn't dare try it again until he was more comfortable with it.

Gnashing his teeth together, he brushed aside the latest batch of mushrooms sprouted by his dear servant boy who had no name. Deserved no name. What he really needed was a break, but a Witch Doctor couldn't take a break and he groaned and shook his head. Ages ago, he had met creatures of power and prestige, gained their trust and left them be. What he needed to do was align them all, he'd spoken about it briefly with others who shared his similar viewpoints but even that hadn't seemed to come to fruition. Swiping a paw over his face as one would when completely tired and fed up with everything, he got up and briskly marched to the edge of the platform he was occupying.

Not entirely sure what he was trying to gain from leaving his home for the first time in what felt like weeks, he let his legs stretch and he inhaled deeply. One scent in particular caught his attention, but his sense of smell was nothing like that of his canine brethren and he could only figure out who it was. Diamondfang. Heading to the twisting narrow pathway down the side of the cavern, he wasn't sure if he would be able to pick out the sandy mongoose against the sandstone like walls. On their first meeting it had caught him by surprise. Louie simply called out, it carried an air of disinterest and detachment, but he wanted to figure out if she had decided to stick around, not that he would've been able to tell from his little hole in the wall.

"Diamondfang?"

Not expecting to surprise the woman, he snorted in amusement and clicked his tongue. This meeting may not end in an alliance of the most powerful, but he considered himself fairly intelligent and he knew that Diamondfang had a knack for thievery and he eyed the spear she had fashioned with interest. Though she had more good news, not before a jab at him and he snorted yet again. But she'd been gathering allies and members and he was surprised at how quick she had been able to perform.

"By friends I'm assuming they're powerful?" Well he'd met Nemesis and she was certainly the most powerful animal he'd had the pleasure of stumbling across. To find she was friends with Diamondfang had been the icing on the cake. "I've been... Lurking, I'm not exactly where to start or begin, where the ending is and what not." Though his true intentions had been the virus he had concocted within his gut and he let a grin creep across his face as he swept his tail under himself. "I can show you if you hand me your spear?" Not really knowing what to expect, he didn't have to wonder if it was transmissible via saliva, many cave rats had met their demise by his tongue and he figured it would last when spat upon the tip of a sharp impaling object.

"I also want to talk again about Merrymen. I think I've gotten it figured out, just need enough members in order to make it workable. Especially if the main object is going to be to gain riches and extort others to benefit ourselves." It was said so manner-of-factly that anyone listening would assume this was just an everyday conversation. Louie certainly saw it as just a normal conversation, especially with Diamondfang he was absolutely at home talking about stuff like this.
