The memory flash was over and she managed to sit up. Why the nicheli- did I pass out or-?

"Yes!" She snarled

"Ok, good to know." Quacktail sighed. "Anyways, have you guys seen a winged nicheling around?"

With nobody to escort back now, the Nervous Brother decided they might as well go along too. But it took them a minute to decide, and so they started off walking into the fog where they had seen the others go.

"Hello?" they called out, hoping they weren't too far away to be heard.

After waiting a moment for a reply, and hearing nothing. The spirit decided it was best to head back to the swamp. They turned around, the swamp was in that direction, back the way they came, wasn't it? 

@Ghost-tuft can you rp the landscape or roll a random number generator for success getting back to the swamp?  Or have one of your characters run into me?

Alternatively I could also run into someone else who is out on their own))

(it'll take a minute for me to catch up since I haven't kept up with this thread due to my exams but I'll see what I can do when i've read the whole thing :))

"Uh, ok." Quacktail flinched. She turned to the rest of the nichelings. "Have any of you guys seen a winged nicheling around?"

Sharp shook his head. "Nuh-uh." 

 

When the others answered no, Quacktail frowned. "Oh well. I'll just find her on my own." She skittered off to the creek.

Fangs wished he'd never gotten that memory. He had been perfectly happy with his state of existence until now. He wanted to go back to not knowing colors or light or what life felt like. All those sensations from all over, the feeling of something rushing trough his body, of the air within him, the sharp stabs of pain coming from several areas. And the guilt. The guilt was the worst. He still didn't know how it had happened, but somehow the small nicheling's injuries had been his fault and he hated it.

What do I do? I can't face Guiding after this, she'll know! She'll hate me...

For a second he thought about leaving, but was soon reminded of forever repeating landscapes. A rare memory from the time before getting lost resurfaced, containing nothing but his own paws traversing this dark place endlessly. He'd feared it then, but now it was home. Still, the thought of getting lost again terrified him. And he couldn't leave Guiding again. Maybe he could hide it? Maybe she'd never know and they could keep going like normal. Eventually even closer, hopefully...

(anyone interested in getting their spirit drawn like this?)

(Doesn't have to be space themed, can be a flower or snow or butterflies or whatever)

Guiding approached Fangs, having gotten the chance due to the newcomers keeping each other company.

-Fangs? What's going on?

"Oh, Guiding, hi. Everything's fine, nothing to worry about."

As he turned his head she noticed something was off about him, but she wasn't sure what had changed.

-Don't try to hide it. You can tell me anything. she said in a serious tone.

"Oh, I've just been thinking about things, with the newcomers and all."

He seemed twitchy and something was different in the way he looked at her.

-What kind of things?

"It'll be nice to have this place full of people again."

His eyes. They were brighter than before with a slight yellow hue, the former fogginess now gone. She almost gasped.

He's had a memory! How? Why didn't he tell me? He's hiding something...

-Are you sure you're alright? she said, now a little suspicious.

"I'm fine, alright?! I don't need you looking after me like a- a..." his yelling faded into incoherent mumbling as he searched for another lost word.

She drew back, astounded by his hostile reaction. He'd never blown up at her, or anyone for that matter, like this. As she tried to process it and come up with a response, she became all too aware of the silence left in the wake of Fangs' outburst.

She turned around, looking frantically around the moor and the swamp, but to no avail. The newcomers - all of them - had vanished.

No. No. Not again. I can't have failed them all again.

She let out a desperate wail and collapsed onto the ground, burying her face in her paws.

The silence continued for a while, with Fangs sitting still with his back turned to her, clearly still angry. After a while she could hear soft paw steps approaching her on the dry grass and then he lay down next to her, wrapping his tail around her. It wasn't any warmer this way - neither of them emitted any sort of temperature - but the gesture was comforting anyway.

"We'll find them. They can't have gotten far."

The spirit walked off as quickly as she approached. Thief was beginning to feel a little light headed. There was so much nichelings here! He began to feel the familiar anxiety welling up in him. Now at least, he knew it came from the fact that last time he was around a group of nichelings, they broke his paw. It wasn't Thief's job to collect them all anyway. 'Are you coming with us to the swamp, or no?' he asked the rude nicheling. He wanted to get back quickly, because he couldn't see the swamp anymore from here. He knew it was in that general direction, but what if he had lost it? Getting lost in a forever repeating landscape gave him chills. But we're not lost. He reassured himself.

"I guess I have nothing else to do" she murmured, a slight tingle of fear radiating from her.

-

(Yes, is alive)

Flutter realised that she could hear dripping. Uhhh, why am I in a cave? Where's quacktail? Flutter wondered.

-

The spirit with the smoking scar was standing next to the other nicheling, the new one. "Who are you? Any memories?" She asked

'Alright then. Let's go.' He said quickly, turning right around. He walked quickly, eager to get the swamp back in sight again. He walked, but there was still nothing. His heart gave a cry of fear. What would happen to him out here? To the others? There was nothing out here, nothing! When some trees appeared in the distance, he thought he'd cry with relief. 'Well, we're here.' He said to the new nichelings. He saw Guiding and Fangs in the distance. But no Nervous guy. 'W-where's Nervous Guy?' he asked, turning around to the others, trying to stay calm.

"Who?" The new spirit asked, then got her foot trampled by the smoking scar nicheling

"A random spirit, probably lost" the spirit said flatly

A chill ran through Thief. If Nervous Guy was lost... 

'I'll go find him! He shouldn't be far! You guys stay here!' Thief didn't want anyone else to get lost. He ran back out onto the moors, always keeping the swamp in sight. He called for the Nervous Brother. 

@Chiyanna does Thief find your character or no?)

Could you please draw Thief like this? I guess instead of space it could be sparkling fish in a stream?

"He's not some random nicheling!" Sharp hissed at the smoke-scarred one. "We may have not known him for long, but he's trying to find his memories too." Sharp didn't care if he was being rude, he had a feeling that getting lost was a bad thing. He ran after Thief as fast as he could. 

 

Quacktail wandered around for a bit, and found a cave to rest in. When she peeked in, she noticed Flutter was there. "Oh, there you are. I was looking for you!" Quacktail curled up next to her. 

(Flutter is now Quacktail's adopted daughter lol)

(You can go looking, but I cannot guarantee that you will find him, or that you won't yourself get lost trying... 

I'm depending it upon a random generator for some randomness and drama. So if you do continue down this path of searching for me, my responses will be based off my dice rolls.)

Thr nervous brother walked in the direction they thought the swamp was. But the more they walked, the more the endless moor stretched out in front of them. They stopped beside some sort of plant...similair to the one seen in their memory flash earlier, to collect themself. Maybe they had been walking in the wrong direction, but what was the right one?

I can't remember, everything's so hazy. They looked at the plant, trying to picture it as they saw it earlier in their mind. Even that seemed hazy, only the colors of this place rather than the vibrant ones the plant was. It must be all this fog, that's all. It's crept into my mind.
