The crater was by far the least-traveled to spot in Tanglewood, it seemed. Its residents appeared rather wary of it, seeing as it was a major source of the radiation that affected the entire swamp and caused all the mutations that people in this group had. Alaric was no different, and at this point it was a wonder that he didn't have any mutations of his own yet.
A commotion in the direction of the crater drew Alaric's attention. He was not keen on traveling there due to the sheer nature of the crater, but he was curious as to what the hubbub was all about. With a sigh, he rose from his relatively comfortable perch on a fallen log and began to move in the direction of the noise.
He arrived relatively soon after beginning his trek. The forms of Caustic, Crow, and Vigenere made themselves readily apparent as he approached the basin. He wasn't quite interested in their presence, though, and more so on what was in the crater that they were all staring at. Like the rest, the tabby would approach the lip of the bowl and peer downwards, only to spot Aurum hovering just beside the figure of someone he did not recognize. A strange metallic screeching emanated from the stranger, grating upon Alaric's conscious without remorse. "Does anyone know why they're down there?" he asks of those nearby, although he was doubtful as to whether or not they had an idea either.
