All My Friends Are Dead [Open]

[Drazonic]

"Sure" Larky said, thinking some seconds the exact place "Follow me" She said almost as a question as she sniffed the air like a hound, and wondered if her pack was still alive. Maybe... Her mother.

She wondered as well if her pack would reconize her if they saw her. She didn't know for sure. And if she found her father? She was nervous.

After some minutes of walking she could finally see the Pack Camp. "I think it was here...But I'm not sure" She said silently wondering all those questions again, and pointing under a broke tree with her head "The tree broke during the fire and fell on him"  She explained with a little nostalgy.

Apparition | Lone Wolf

Apparition gave a nod, and began to follow as Larky lead the way. As they traveled his mind was on their surroundings. He could tell there were many spirits lingering in the area because he could hear their whispers. Often times spirits without bodies hung around dark places like forests or caves, and there were some here. It was possible, it seemed, that one of them was Larky's father. Though he would need to wait until they reached their destination to be sure.

"It was here?" Apparition asked when Larky stopped. He slowly approached the fallen tree she had pointed out, and began to examine it. Then, the glow from his eyes grew a bit brighter. "Spirit of the land, hear my words. If you are still tied to this world, come to me." He paused for a moment, before adding something in another language. "Touk aj dek kwo odet." It was an ancient language, and its meaning was 'death is not the end'.

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

Larky looked at Apparition as he talked in the strange language that seemed a little strange but she felt like she could understand it. A shiver went down her spine "Why is-s it suddenly so chilling cold?" She wondered aloud.

She wondered if that meant her father was still in world as a ghost. She started to feel insecure about a thousand things. What if her father wasn't 'in this world' any more? She shivered again. How would her mother take it? Would her father recognize her or would he just walk -or float- away? She felt truly nervous. But she would be very happy to see her father if his soul was still wandering around somewhere on Earth.

Apparition | Lone Wolf

Apparition pulled his attention away from the fallen tree and looked to Larky. "That happens. There's a gathering of spirits around here, and they can hear us." The glow from his eyes had mostly faded away, but he still curiously glanced around the area. "If he's here, he'll come."

For a moment, Apparition seemed to hesitate. He was confident that Larky's father would appear, but he could not guarantee it. He hoped that Larky would not be heartbroken if they were not able to locate him. Then, it happened. Just in front of them, a ghostly figure began to talk form. Apparition backed away in order to allow Larky to get a better look.

[[ OOC: You can go ahead and control Larky's dad, if you want c: ]]

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

"Fa-a-ther?" She said, she felt like she would get drown on tears.

"Lar...Larkspur?" The voice said. It was a big, furry and white wolf Larky knew really good. Her father was called Bear, and for good reason, since he had been brown and huge when he was alive, which was really strange seeing Larky's size "I've missed you so... " but he didn't finish his sentence, he just approached closer to Larky and 'hugged' her.

[OCC= Sure! c: Also, by saying 'hugged' I mean like, a wolf huge. You know xD]

Apparition | Lone Wolf

Apparition smiled at the reunion, as he always did. As a wolf whose job was to help the living communicate with the dead, he was always warmed by the sight of things like this. He simply stood by and watched, but kept out of the way. The other invisible spirits in the air slowly began to dissipate, realizing that they were not needed. Apparition thanked them quietly.

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

"I have missed you too"  The female muttered "But I wouldn't have been able to find you if it wasn't for Apparition"  Larky turned her head to him, with her eyes full of tears of joy, and ran next to the Ghost to hug him.

"Thanks a lot" She said, gratefully "I would never had found him without your help. I owe you everything. You are a really good friend"  Her voice broke at the end of the sentence.

Bear only stood by, speechless and moved by the situation, and walked to hug them both. "Thanks for helping my daughter" He whispered "You are also a friend to me"

After some minutes, Bear looked at Larky "Do you know where the rest of our family is?"  he asked, fearful the answer would be negative. 

"I-I don't really know if they're alive... They should be somewhere..." She whispered disappointed. The air was really cold, and a shiver went down her spine. She realized she was the only living animal of the trio.

Apparition | Lone Wolf

Apparition couldn't help but laugh when Larky came to hug him. It was a rather common reaction. "No problem, it's my job. But I like doing it, anyway." Then, his tail began to wag. "A friend? You mean it?" Apparition had quite a few friends, but most of the were dead. Sometimes he wanted someone with a physical form to play with, so Larky's words excited him.

The ghostly wolf nodded to Bear with a smile, and then watched as the two began to talk again. From the way their conversation was going, Apparition figured he'd stick around to help them locate everyone that they were searching for.

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

Larky smiled "I mean it!"  She said, sweetly as she nodded.
She had grown fond of Apparition. She had had just a few friends, and none of them had been a true one, but she thought Apparition would be the first.

"I hope they're not dead... Have you seen anyone around?"  Bear asked Apparition, almost pleading the answer he was searching for. He had completely forgotten he was a Ghost. 
He really wanted to see his family, but one thing worryied him: When he found them, if he did, he would have completed his mission as a Ghost... and he would go somewhere else. 
He was afraid of that somewhere.

Larky was also afraid of loosing her father again, but she had tried not to think a lot about that. That would mean he could be finally in peace, right? And she'd had Apparition... Or not? Maybe this was Apparition's last search. She quickly snapped those thoughts from her mind. There would be time to think about that later.

(OCC= I've updated Larky's design by the way ^^)

Apparition | Lone Wolf

"There are a lot of spirits around here," Apparition replied. "Some might be from your pack, or they might not. I could try to call them, they'll come if they're still here and they still remember." Some wolves, after death, would lose their memory for a time. More often than not it would return to them eventually, but Apparition would usually be helping them if he wasn't helping the living.

"But you should be able to see them as well. If they want to be seen," he added, looking at Bear. "It's a bit like.. activating a sixth sense. The newly deceased sometimes don't realize that they have it."

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

Larkspur looked at Apparition almost pleadingly "Could we try?" She asked, her eyes big and somewhat sad. "But it will be hard..." She told herself.

"What about your pack?"  Bear asked to the Ghost "Have you tried finding it? We could go with you. Being alone all this time was tedious, and your company is good company"  He grinned.

Larkspur nod in agreement on what her father said "Yes. And you have done a lot for us. You could have a little help"  She smiled and jumped around excitedly. She got excited too fast without Apparition giving an answer, she always did that.

Apparition | Lone Wolf

Apparition shook his head. "The last I saw my pack was six years ago. It's unlikely I'll find anyone I recognize, or anyone who recognizes me. Besides, I can never settle down with a pack. The dead take me all over the place," he explained. It was a sad fact, but it hardly bothered Apparition. His job was important to him, so he traveled to wherever he needed to go. He had already decided that he'd stop when he was truly, for lack of a better term, dead.

But Apparition wasn't oblivious, he could see how excited Larky was about it. "I.. suppose maybe we could look. Even if my friends are all dead, maybe I can find their spirits. Maybe they need me.." It was clear he hadn't given this a lot of thought.

[[ OOC: Hm.. I think I have an interesting idea for when/if they find Apparition's pack. It would be an interesting journey to take them on. ]]

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

"Yes! We should look for them!"  Larky said, with a childlish excited tone and a big smile upon her face.
She used to be short-tempered, but she was acting really differently, or at least that's what Bear thought at the moment.


"Yes! It will be fun. And you can help them in case they're in need of a hand. I could help them too, since I'm a Ghost and I don't have much to do"  Bear said, with a hint of excitement in his tone. He wanted to be helpful as a Ghost. He had been so much time around that old fallen tree. It would feel so good to help someone, and he owed Apparition since he had helped his Daughter. Well, he would do it even if he didn't owe anything.

The dark trees towered in the forest, which gave a mysterious atmosphere to the moment. The mist hid bats, and Bear felt a tickling feeling when they went through him.

[OCC= Yes! I like the idea c: Also, I darkened their Speech Colors so they don't hurt your eyes. 
I should get a posting template ]

Apparition | Lone Wolf

"Yeah.. let's look for them. Okay!" Apparition finally agreed. Now that he thought about it, he wasn't entirely sure why he was hesitating. Perhaps he was worried about whether or not he'd find his friends. He was a little bit concerned that they might not recognize him. It was likely he was feeling more confident about it now that he had friends to go with him. At any rate, it was a good idea to return in case there was anyone who needed his help.

Apparition nodded to Bear. "I appreciate the help. I'm used to traveling by myself. It get's pretty lonely." He got the feeling that Bear had been pretty lonely as well, like ghosts usually get. Ghost were some of the most interesting company to have, so he didn't mind. Those who lived a full life usually had a lot of stories to tell. Younger wolves who had their lives cut short would have a lot of questions to ask, and Apparition liked to answer them.

"I think I remember the way. If the pack is still in the same place, that is," he said. He had to admit, he was a bit excited. A little bit anxious, as well.

"Speech." | 'Thoughts.'

[Drazonic]

Larkspur nodded excitedly as the Ghost spoke. She had been alone for much time, she had scaped the safe territories that made her home, and now she wanted to make it worth it. It already was, knowing Apparition and meeting her father again, but she was very Adventure-Thristy, and she liked Apparition a lot as a friend.

Bear was also excited, since he had been alone a lot of time. "Well, so do you think that we should get everything ready today and start the Journey tomorrow, or do you want to go right now?"  He asked, excited but also very tired. 

Larky shrugged. "Do ghosts eat?"  She asked confused, mostly doing a rhetorical question, but not minding if answered. "Maybe we should rest. Has been a long day today. But I can keep on if we fish on the way"  She said, still excited.

[OCC= Wow, Larky's being so sociable]
