HERE'S A COMPLETE LIST, OF EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER BEEN AFRAID OF
Keter would be the first to admit, that they were having a hard time. Coming to grips with where their device lead them, how it reacted to the crater... it gave them chills. They'd tried to busy themself over the past few days or so, learning how to make traps and set them, doing this dozens of times until they got it right. Not that the swamp needed more, but it was handy to know.
Nets had taken the longest, they just couldn't get how the damn things were tied. And so many knots... they struggled quite a bit. They'd even taken a trip out into the swamp to brush away the leaves from one and take a good look at it. During this outing, they saw... some kind of bright light in the sky. More than that. Something was falling.
Another radioactive meteor? It was so close to the ground, it seemed to be ready to skim off the tops of some of the trees. Dread settled in them, thinking of the crater, the bodies frozen in time. The blackened, scoured earth. Was it going to touch ground in Tanglewood?
They bolted just before it hit. The impact was loud, and it felt as if the whole world was shaking, and that shaking didn't stop, even as the sky had returned to normal. They ran, towards the town square, more than happy to hear Leroy's voice calling out to everyone. In the distance, they saw Vigenere limping his way over as well, seemingly hurt his paw. They slowed down then, matching Vigenere's pace, concern etched onto their face.
"Are you alright? You can hop on if you want, we're almost there."
They didn't want to simply scruff him and go, they barely knew him, but they could offer him their back. With how awfully shaky the ground was, they could only imagine how difficult it must be, trying to walk and balance while limping like that.
