//ughh i didn't intend to take so long to make this
@Lunafreya, @beck. It had been his intention to speak to Tanglewood after the meeting. A nap had been in order, in hopes to replenish the energy he'd expended by charging the generator, but the thoughts of the meeting to come had occupied his thoughts, and he found sleep difficult. Regardless, the rest and inactivity had been enough. He was still a little tired, but it was more mental than physical. Still Starrynight set out, using the early morning light to shed visibility on his way in hopes he would reach the swampy woods by noon. He
might have been using the time as an excuse to get out of his room and the observatory for a while- but that was fine, right?
Eventually the patches of plains faded away into dense woodland, closing off the sky overhead. There was something unnerving about it, with the dark, ivy-covered trunks pressing in around him, but he pressed on regardless. Had he passed the Tanglewood border? Where did it start? Finding it on his last visit had been difficult. Would they be mad if-?
Something sharp stabbed into his ankle, gouging a long cut down his paw as he tripped over it before falling face-flat on the soggy earth.
"OW!" he cried out. Twisting around, Starrynight sat up. Tears pricked at his eyes as he glanced behind him. What was that? There was a taut strip of spiky wire stretched between two bushes, now specked with his pink blood. Why was that there? He didn’t like it much. With a sidelong glance, he licked at his throbbing paw.
Eventually he got up, determined to press forward, but there was a faint limp in his step as he continued.
”Hey, is anyone out there? I need to talk to Beck.” Starrynight looked around him at his boggy surroundings. Mud covered his paws, leaving an uncomfortable feeling settling in his chest. The aura coming from his paws was blocked, but an aura was slowly forming around his tail-tip as the excess energy re-routed itself.
