[Verdigris]

  Was the Typhoon "scary"? On one hand, the jungle became an absolute hellscape at night, not helped by... whatever it was that they put in the drinks on initiation nights, and quite a few of the denizens were legitimately dangerous. On the other hand, cloudy-eyed Daphne was far too gentle for his own good, Pincher was either permanently drunk or a dunce (or both) despite the threat he posed, and many of the creatures were too light-hearted to really be considered scary. It was a mixed bag.

  As the jackal emerged from beneath the canopy, his mismatched eyes caught sight of a small feline a short ways away- one that he didn't know. Were all four of his legs working properly, he might have tried to jump in and scare her just to see her reaction, but with his injured back leg, he was more likely to stumble and fall flat on his face than anything else. Unless...

  "'Ey. What are you doing here?" he called, loudly enough to be heard, but not so much so that he risked aggravating his right ear. If it startled her, great; if not, that was fine too. If she somehow had fire elementals or some other crazy power that she could use to completely annihilate him, then at least he would die in a suitably dramatic way, and one that anyone could've died from at that.
