[closed] A fish, a bunny and a vampire walk into the woods...
Who: Percy + Izuku + Valvatorez
Where: Forest
When: December 15ish?
What: Percy has an agenda and demigods usually quest in threes
Warnings: Spooky ghosts, etc
[As far as Percy was concerned he could have done this by himself. He probably should have done this by himself, but here he was waiting at the edge of the woods mounted on Mrs. O'Leary's back and waiting for two extra companions. He'd messaged them separately and explained what they were about to do.
"We're going to the woods. I have to look for something and Mrs. O'Leary might be onto the trail. Coming?"
As far as he knows, Izuku and Val haven't ever really gotten the chance to know each other. This seemed like just as good a time as any and as the minutes pass by Mrs. O'Leary whines unhappily, anxious to get going.]
I know, girl, I know. Just wait a few minutes. They should show up soon.
[Though which one it'll be first is hard to say...]

Ah. Now that he's coming up on Percy, that message makes much more sense. Val did promise that he was going to help him with this. So he calls out.]
Are you ready to look for your comrades?
no subject
Hey! I'm not late, am I? [Percy gets a smile, Mrs. O'Leary gets a fond scratch behind her ears, and Val gets a respectful nod of the head.] It's Valvatorez-san, isn't it? It's good to see you again.

[Turning his attention back on Percy-]
I did promise I would help you. Let us begin!
no subject
[Since they're all here, Izuku doesn't see the point in making the hellhound wait any longer. Maybe this time they'll actually find something!]
no subject
I know this might sound a little crazy, but I'd trust Mrs. O'Leary's senses over my own a lot of the time. She's special that way.
no subject
Hardly. Canines have excellent senses. Fenrich's are superior even to mine, except when it comes to human blood.
[Always a little concerning, after all.]
no subject
Val's words sound a little ominous, though.]
You think that's what Mrs. O'Leary's following? Human blood. [He hopes not, but honestly, Izuku wouldn't even be surprised at this point.]
no subject
[Ah. There's the real motive here.] She still remembers her smell. Nico's too. If she follows that trail, maybe we'll find other people.
no subject
[Anyway.]
It's as good an option as anything else we have.
no subject
Guess we'll see what we find when we get there. [He does eye Valvatorez curiously, though.] Say, how good are your senses, Valvatorez-san?
[Even as they follow Mrs. O'Leary deeper into the woods, Izuku glances around them, frowning as the ominous feeling seems to increase. Is it just him, or are the whispers getting louder?]
no subject
no subject
[There's one specific reason he knows that.]
My eyesight is average for a demon.
no subject
Speaking of which...he's totally poised to take notes now, with pen and paper in hand.]
You can shapeshift? Is that something all demons can do, or is it a... more special sort of ability? Ah-- [He cuts off, frowning, when he spots the fork in the road, and something else that makes him squint.] There's someone up ahead.
no subject
...a lady? Or a ghost?
no subject
A ghost woman?
no subject
Whatever it is, it looks like the forest finally figured out how it wants to test us.
[His eyes sharpen, looking ready for a fight, if that's what it comes down to.]
no subject
no subject
[And he just walks ahead without any confirmation.]
no subject
He hurries after Val with a glance at Percy.] Ready!
no subject
She explains to them that they have to make a choice; going down the route that Mrs. O'Leary desperately keeps trying to follow will only end in tragedy, a means to condemn someone they hold dear to them. However, for protection, she can guide them through the woods and away from this hardship.
She leaves the boys with a choice, and as she finishes Percy gives his two companions a look.]
...what do you think?
