>>5695377Softness, softness was what awaited below.
Thistle groans and rubs his head thankful something soft broke his fall. A cloaked figure lays flat beneath him. He looks around and sees he is near the entrance to a bronze castle. A black door with blue veins running through it stood tall behind him, as did the front of the testament to brickwork. Thistle brushed the yellow dust off of him. Looking apologetically to the one who broke his fall.
“Oh, sorry.” The branch monger says as he gets up only to hear the screaming of a certain avian.
“Man…” Thistle says as berdly once more fell atop of him.
“Hello, Thistle.” Thistle’s friend calls out in pained voice as he uses his friends back to lift himself up. That’s when they feel a shadow envelope them once more. No…not again.
“Scatter!” Berdly yells as he frantically rolls off of his friend and the poor cloaked bastard they landed on. Thistle quickly follows the nerd’s lead as The cloaked figure tried to get up, rookie mistake.
“Wh-“ Is all the cloaked being can mutter before it’s spine is made acute as Catti lands atop of him cracking the ground a bit. “Oh, we’re not dead.” Catti sighs as she gets up noticing the pained figure who felt the combined force of the trio de mediocre.
“Small victories are the spice of life.” The green clad tree says with a cracked grin, and a bruised ego.
“I mean if you wanna call that a victory sure.” With a grimace the cat stands to her feet along side her two best friends.
A hoarse laughing echoed throughout the entrance.
The gang turned around to see a human clad in plate armor is that..Kris? His skin looking a teal blue compared to his usual crusty yellow. His face unreadable, having the emotional range of a statue.
Beside him was Susie, the bully of the school and rumored chalk eater. She is currently holding her head back as she laughed uncontrollably.
“Heh, Nice.” Susie said with a pearly white grin, a contrast to her usual yellow smile. Wiping a tear from her eyes that were hidden under her bangs.
Looks like you’re not alone in this strange new world. May as well see if they Anne an idea of what’s going on. Or not.
