Eve bit her lower lip, frowning at the holes. "That's horrifying," she said quietly. She swallowed heavily and looked around the area, seeing things in an entirely new light. They were walking a very fine line here, and in a very different kind of danger than she could have expected. Taking a deep b...

Eve chewed on her lip. "Look at these. What could they even be?" She gestured to the covers all over the walls. "They're so small."

Eve grinned when Don had a burst of energetic excitement, moving swiftly to follow behind the others. "To the docks we go," she said cheerfully.

Eve nodded. "I'll make sure I get in with the rodents of the land and the sea as soon as possible," she agreed, glancing up at the seabirds flying above. "Cats, too."

Her stomach rumbled. "Food definitely sounds good, though. And something to drink. I'm hella parched."

Eve's small hand wrapped around Don's. It was still sticky and damp with sludge, but her sniffling quieted, and her grip was solid. "Thank you," she whispered, moving a bit closer to her friends.

Shoulders slumped and tears drying on her cheeks, Eve stood from the muck she was currently kneeling in and took a shaky breath. She followed the others, moving much slower than she had. The pain of being unable to help was palpable in her every step.

"We could distill it, couldn't we? It wouldn't be hard, would it?"

Eve's eyes welled with tears. "I'm pretty sure it is," she choked out as she crouched down, the desperation in her to just do something overwhelming her nose's protests. Besides, everything here stank of the dead to her, already. She looked up at William and Don as she tried to hold the water in her...

Eve nodded and headed towards the back of the building, prepared to seek out water. She kicked off her shoes, nestling her feet into the dry dust of the Deadlands. There was a reaction there - a revulsion that her body felt in reaction to the land here, but she pushed past it, and found to her overw...

Eve grinned, watching Don manipulate himself in a way that was similar but so very different than how she did. She looked around, back straightening as she realized they wouldn't be leaving these people without. She stepped to stand beside (and behind) Don, and shot a glance to William.

Eve set her face to a neutral expression, doing her best not to speak out. She didn't want to cause problems, but at the same time...

Well, she was a child of nature, and her emotions always ran wild. She searched the crowd, waiting for word on whether or not they were going to handle business.

Eve nodded in understanding, and moved to place herself between her two friends. She felt wrong here, and not only because of the throngs of people and the terrible living conditions. Her skin itched, and she still carried a deep ache in her bones from her transformation. Her eyes rose to look at th...

Eve nodded. "Should I stay with you all, or should I go find them now?"

Eve went to follow, touching William's arm as they moved forward. "I... I could try to give them water, couldn't I? Would that help? Or maybe... Maybe help them to grow plants? Or would someone just... Take that away from them?"

Eve flew languidly overhead looking for her companions, starting near the gates to the city and following the roads. She'd never tell Don (mostly because she knew he'd try to stop himself if he knew), but he'd picked up more than just the verbal aspects of Jakat, and she could read the language inhe...

Eve flew the way only a true child of nature could. There was a strange freedom here, in this place, when she was in animal form. It was still horrible, her senses burning and her connection to Lanala weak. But it was easier to stand when she wasn't human. She allowed the instincts of her pelican br...

Eve's pelican eyes closed happily as Don scratched her head, and she made a joyful honking call before waddling off a bit. She adjusted herself a few times, feeling the weapons settle in her gullet before she took to the sky. She would loop around toward the water, of which her pelican body could al...

Eve's excitement as Don spoke in the language of her people was unmistakable, but she was clearly trying trying to play it cool. What she actually said was difficult to translate into human language, but the basic translation came to, "This place is hella shitty, but I'm all right for now. Please pu...

Eve's eyes filled with tears of pain as the transformation began, but her body lost the ability for human speech before she could cry out in pain, the sound instead coming across as pelican calls. Still, it was visible to Don how much agony it was for her to turn. When it was complete, however, ther...

Eve gave him a fist bump back before taking a seat and watching the two men she now considered family begin packing up the items she'd be carrying. She swallowed and nodded to herself. She could, indeed, do this. Once she was ready, Eve focused on Lanala, and very politely asked her goddess to allow...

Eve nodded. "I need to head in a different direction than y'all, at least for a bit. I need to come from over the water. It'll be less conspicuous. I think if we wrap the sharper weapons, we can toss them in my gullet. I can get away with being a larger than average pelican, I think. And they aren't...

Eve considered. "If I'm not holding anything sharp, a pelican could work. But if we're smuggling in ol stabby boi, I'd maybe rather carry it in my talons. Which is definitely more dangerous, but you all could help me hold it properly, right?" She stretched her arms and yawned. "I'm looking forward t...

Eve nodded, grinning. "Thanks, Don. I guess let's figure out what we need." She leaned back, looking out the window again. "What sort of birds of prey are there out here? Or should I be a buzzard again?"

Eve slammed into the back of William's seat, giving out an "oof" as she did so. "It was on purpose?" she asked, pushing herself back into her seat and then buckling her seatbelt. "I thought it was like a speech impediment or something!"

"If there's not one," Eve says with a smirk, "I bet we could start one." She turns to Don. "What do you think, Don? Should I do it?"
