Terra at first was deciding that the girl who had fallen was a bit strange, a hard claim for a demon as unusual as Terra, however she couldn't help but find the girl strange. She went from angry and threatening to suddenly making a very casual remark. She shrugged, deciding it was none of her business. Though she was oft considered a talentless demon, she wasn't too worried about human girl. "Yes, that's quite scary, so on so forth ..." She was going to continue, however yet another figure appeared ...
She blinked in obvious surprise. She was just on a simple errand, and yet she's run into people at every turn... Oi ... I can't deal with much more of this .. The man seemed to be offering them guidance for rice. Terra wasn't exactly carrying any food on her, and if she was, she wouldn't particular care to trade if off so easily. "Well, sir ... uh ... New guy, I am merely passing through this wood to meet a merchant of sorts." She wasn't sure if that was really the right term for the man she came to find. Infact, she wasn't even sure who he was, or what he did ... other than making some sort of trade with Etna.
Terra turned to Roscoe and shrugged. "It would seem you were right about their eyes being upon us." Terra still felt no real hostile intention in the air, so as usual she was fairly lax, she was about to just walk off, actually. It wouldn't be good for her to wait around much longer. "Sir Roscoe, do you intend to stay with these people, or wouldst you like to continue your travels with me?" She asked curiously. It didn't really matter to her, but she felt she should ask the man all the same.

"Hey, wait a second," Asagi said, in response to Terra's last question, "Does that mean that I can't go with you? But I want to help or something! It's been too long since I've had any company!" She hoped to convince the girl, who seemed to be the de facto leader, to let her tag along, and what she said was completely true. Regardless of what the answer was, though, she was going to follow them around. This was really the first thing in a while that she would consider 'fun', and she didn't want to pass it up.

"Granola? No, no, you can keep that to yourself..." Mudell now had his right hand at his side as he kept the left hand on his hilt. It seems these people weren't wealthy travelers, or anything of the sort. Makes sense, when he thought about it. The wealthy rarely traveled on foot through a place that could be as potentially as dangerous as the Blair Forest. Still, he had just lost both his lunch and his dinner since these people showed up.
He then suddenly heard word of a merchant. Perhaps it was time to stock up on supplies again. While he didn't have much money on him, he could at least get a sack or two of rice, which would satiate him for a couple of weeks, if he prepared it all correctly.
"No matter. I'll be follow you guys quite nonchalantly from this point on then, if you're headed towards a merchant. Just act as if I'm not around, but if you do need to talk to me, I'm known as Pr-- No, not yet, Mudell. Not yet... I am Mudell Kenshi. Mudell will do just nicely." With a small grin on his face, he just made his way behind all three of them, waiting for someone to move. He figured it would probably be the girl that didn't fall from the tree.

”I'm sure I have seen that tree before...” Miria mumbled to herself, as she passed through the glade which she had indeed ventured through five times in the last two hours. Her back was slouched, and her feet were barely leaving the ground with each step she took, as she had abandoned all attempts to look proper once she realized the only other beings around here seemed to have the brain capacity of a tree trunk. Granted, she had seen only trees ever since she entered the forest, so a higher intellect wasn't really expected, that didn't stop her from complaining though. She shuffled forward for a few more steps before falling over on her back. “I guess I have no choice but to accept it... I'm lost... I'm cold, hungry, there's dangerous animals everywhere and it's getting dark...” she whined, as she flopped over onto her belly. While it was true that she was lost, none of the previously mentioned things were actually correct, Miria just figured that since she was lost she might as well play out the entire role of 'lost hiker'.
I've been here since forever... This wasn't actually true either, she did indeed feel like she had been walking around for days, it had actually only been two and a half hours since she entered the forest and almost immediately started walking in circles. Miria was planning to spend the rest of the day on the forest floor, pitying herself, occasionally mumbling things like “Isn't there any one out here who knows how to take proper care of a girl?” and “I wish I had something to eat... not really hungry though.” but her plan was quickly put on hold as she caught up on a sound in the air. Voices, human voices. Or possibly demon voices, they sounded about the same, not that it mattered to her.
She instantly leaped onto her feet, hopes renewed, and dashed towards the source of the noise. She could feel tears forming in her eyes, as she was certain she would soon be able to get out of this death trap disguised as a forest. “Salvation!!” she cried out in a voice filled with happiness, as she took a final jump, landing nearby what she had deemed to be her goal. It took a while before the scene fully registered in her head. The seemed to be four people here, four. She had just made a total embarrassment of herself in front of four possibly thinking beings. Although it might be a bit late, she decided to try and repair her self-perceived aura of honor, and took a few seconds to rub her eyes, making sure the tears were gone, and brushing off her robes, before talking in a casual voice. “Oh my, other travelers, what a coincidence. Where might you be heading today I may ask? I am not lost by the way.” Yep, situation was back under control.

Roscoe was about to say something to Terra, about his desire to see this castle and hopefully find civilization, when a shrill cry came to his ears. This time, he managed to scramble all the way up a tree, sans anything resembling a hand-hold, coming to rest on a low hanging branch, where he lay curled like a frightened cat. And then the strange girl that appeared proceeded to talk in a normal tone of voice, as though she had come to talk about the weather.
Roscoe took a deep breath. "Will everyone please...stop...jumping out of nowhere like that?!?!?!" He slowly swung a leg over to let himself dangle off his perch. "I got blood pressure issues in my family, people." Dropping back to the ground, he dusted himself offand tried, unsuccessfully, to bring back the stiff military persona. "Now, as I was about to say, Miss Terra, I would like to continue on to this castle of yours, if you'll allow me. These... travelers..." He respectfully held back the word he was about to use to describe them (mostly because he was fairly certain most of them could kill him no problem). "...probably wanna come with us, at least Asagi and..."
He took a good, long look at the other two. The warrior guy looked like he knew the area well, but something seemed a little... unhinged about him. He was reminded of something from back home. And why did he introduce himself as Pr...?
And then there was the girl who was responsible for Roscoe's most recent panic attack. She seemed to be a fellow wilderness survivor, like him, but her sudden outburst, followed by her pleasant attitude, reminded Roscoe of a certain word that rhymed with "Jackpot," but was a bit less nice.
"...Anyway." He continued his thought. "Five is more than two, correct? On the off chance something else... would like to come jumping out of nowhere." He cast an accusing glance to the treeline as he said this, as though he expected every monster in Blair Forest to come guiltily out of hiding.

Terra glanced towards the girl with a somewhat annoyed expression. "If you insist on following me Miss Small Human Girl, then I will not simply ignore you." Despite that Asagi had introduced herself Terra had seemingly not even heard it, nor did she seem to care. Normally she was rather polite, however she was starting to get somewhat stressed. She wasn't the best as far as social interaction was concerned.
She mumbled something incoherently as the newest among them introduced himself as Mudell. "Yes, yes, nice to meet you Sir Mudell ... Now that we're all like that of a happy family, may as we get along on our travels?" She began to head off again, however it seemed that would be an impossible dream. A shout from the distance for SALVATION was heard, and Terra knew immediately that something else had come to distract her. She turned to stare at the new comer as she ran up to them all.
She narrowed her eyes, not from any sort of dislike or hate, but rather in annoyance. If she took too long Etna wouldn't be pleased. "Yes, yes ... we are travelers, huge coincidence that we met, our meeting is much like that of joyous music to our hearts." She figured they would be distracted yet longer at this point, knowing that nothing would get going at this point with everyone showing up from everywhere.
She turned to Roscoe and nodded, he still desired to come with her, which was fine, and it seemed that Asagi had chosen to come as well, however ... these other two who've also appeared ... "Yes, I'm capable of basic math Sir Roscoe ... Five is indeed of a greater sum than two." She sighed and looked towards the direction she should be heading.
"Are all of you really intending to come with us?" She asked curiously, it really was starting to get ridiculous that everyone was coming out of nowhere at this point ... but whatever. After only a few moments she realized the two most recent visitors were human, too ... somehow she was still oblivion that Roscoe was, however that came about. "More humans?" She asked, though in a fairly quiet tone, hearable, but only if they were listening.
"Alright ... the merchant shouldn't be much further ahead according to the map" She said atleast, hopping she could whip everyone into quickly going on, this slow pace was definitely starting to grate on her nerves. As much as she loved being lazy, she couldn't hope to imagine Etna's wrath should she be late.
Terra immediately began to walk towards her destination, in hopes of getting everything over with as soon as possible.

Asagi, as surprised as the rest that people kept showing up, noticed a slight(?) sense of urgency in Terra's words and actions. "Hey, miss...um....Terra, I think he said," she began, "you seem like you're in a hurry, is there something you need to do quickly, or maybe it's something important to you?" She didn't mean to be nosey or anything, she was merely curious.
"I don't think you're that impatient, so I just kinda figured..." her voice trailed off, since the rest of it would just be repeating what she just said, and if the girl WAS in a hurry, she wouldn't be happy with that. For some reason, she wasn't really concerned with the others, perhaps she was just too focused on what she was doing to notice.
(OoC: Should we really have more than three or four people in one Roleplay? It seems kind of hectic.)

(You're right. Waiting for other people to post would sure suck.)
"Ah hah! You can't fool these eyes of a hero so easily!" Briskly walking over to where Miria was, Mudell stopped right in front of her, folding both of his arms in front of his chest. A huge grin was on his face. "As the avatar of the Prism Rangers, I shall guide you and your lost soul out of this forsaken forest, precious lamb! And after that, we'll go to this great spot I know right outside the forest where there's plenty of rice to be had..."
Reaching for her right hand with a quick movement, Mudell grabbed the girl's right left arm and started dragging her away from the group. Turning around, he waved with his free hand to the other three.
"Well, good luck in your travels. Hope you don't make someone lose their meal again~! Ah, by the way, I'm Mudell, miss. You can tell me your name on the way!" And with that, Mudell walked on, dragging the girl behind him, disappearing quickly in the forest.

”Well if....” Miria never got to finish her sentence, as she was suddenly cut off by the... Avatar of the Prism Rangers, or something like that, who had been quick to assume that she was lost, which she was, and had taken it upon himself to guide her out there, apparently. It wouldn't seem he'd take no for an answer either, as before Miria knew it, she was being dragged off by the man, heading for an unknown location which he had mentioned, but she never caught up upon. “It is good to see there are people willing to aid others around here.” she remarked, trying to sound friendly, she was sure that given some time, her excellent people skills would let her enslave this fool to her will. Wahaha.
Besides, going with him seemed like the better idea, that one girl in armor had been very rude, and she couldn't help but feel like she had been insulted at some point, although she wasn't able to put her finger on it. Still, there was no reason to be so brash! Seriously, if there was anything that Miria disliked it was people being rude for no reason whatsoever, she could accept killing for no reason, robbing for no reason, massacre for no reason, but to insult others? No matters at all, really now. Somehow she had worked up quite the heat, and before she was dragged out of sight, she figured she'd leave that rude demon with a parting gift. She turned her head around, and stuck the tongue out at group which she was leaving behind. “Nyaaaa...” There. That showed them.

Roscoe rubbed the back of his head reluctantly as he started off behind Terra. Well, that was certainly a diversion. At least he was left with two people he had to watch instead of four. Something came to him, as sort of a delayed reaction. What was that the man had said? 'Avatar of the Prism Rangers?' He scoffed. You'd think Roscoe would have heard something about this avatar deal.
Well, he decided, enough about them. He may end up running into them again, but for now he decided to focus on the group he was already with. Something seemed to be bothering Terra; the way she snubbed his logic made him wince. Demon or no, it wasn't really a good idea to annoy someone who offered you help, especially since the alternative would have been sleeping in a tree for who knows how long.
He felt like he should apologize, but at the same time he had a feeling that it might only make things worse. So, he kept his mouth shut in indecision. Maybe they'd reach their destination soon, so he wouldn't have to feel so awkward about all this.
