    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Thankfully, she didn’t have to wait long to gain company;  her newly crowned “It” had pursued (as she had wholeheartedly hoped) and kept up easily enough.  Not that her initial target wouldn’t have been a lovely companion, she thought, as the squirrelly creature glared at her from a safe distance away.  He chittered something at her with what sounded like an impossibly derogatory tone for an animal with such large, obtrusive teeth before vanishing into the canopy.  “Sorry,”she muttered with a slightly confused, slightly impressed expression.

    As her horned dome cranes back, she’s met with the  appearance of that same familiar someone breaking past the walls of the clearing. Of course she smiled, but it never had the chance to realize it’s potentional, because as quickly as it’s there, it is gone.  It decided to run away from her face when she realized that his legs were not as she had remembered and neither was the structure of his face. Frozen in shock and with rising curiosity, she could do nothing but utter and inelegant “Oh wow” as she fell into and with him.

    Catcher tried to stop herself, she really did, but the surprise was too great. It all happened so quickly but no sooner did his grip relax on than did she withdraw into herself, shifting into the lanky body of s gray rat snake.  How embarassing, she complained inwardly.  For the most part she had believed that she had full control of her serpent shifting, but apparently it was still rather uncontrolled when she was caught off guard.  More work would need to be done in the future. Unfortunately.

    With the pink flush of embarrassment burning off quickly, her head rose to regard him.  She couldn’t help but laugh - at the game and at herself and her joy in seeing a friend.  It was difficult to catch her breath with all the running and adrenaline and laughing, but when the laughter finally began to settle she spoke with warrmth, “Hello Tana! Too long, I think.”

    Changing position, her body coiled around itself.  She wondered what he would think of her.  Aside from her mother and father, nobody else knew of her serpentine form; this would be her first experience with someone else seeing her second skin.   “My game was too easy for you, wasn’t it?”
