-The Mythics RP-

(Werewolves do maintain their consciousness though, so we won't have to worry about her shredding anyone. Unless she wants to, lol.)

Ember had yet to see her sixth sense fail her.
Vhayna's warning repeated loudly in her mind, timely to the scattered, and now horrified onlookers, the air thickening with fear as the bone-chilling howl echoed through the misted dawn sky.
"During the day the souls around here are a little less drunk and more likely to notice a Mythic."
Notice is one word for it.

"Stay here," she ordered Coal, once again not bothering to see if he would obey. The Harpy bolted down the short stretch of cobbled street to the open path where the rather terrified Werewolf stood.
Most of the bystanders had taken off, racing into the cover of buildings or around street corners to escape. The few that didn't dropped behind crates or barrels, guns drawn and locked on the massive wolf.
Ember ripped off her leather gloves, letting her cloak drop to the ground behind her as she ran, stopping sharply in front of the Werewolf, wings flung wide like a giant, feathery shield. She knew it wouldn't stop lead, but if it threw off their aim even a little, a little was enough of an advantage for her.
Flames burst across her hands, lapping up her forearms as she drew an arm up sharply and backhanded a wave of swirling flames into the air toward the two closest gun barrels. The edges of the canvas tarp rested atop the collection of palettes ignited, smoking and flickering for only seconds before the entire pile was spewing fire.
Ember yanked a hand upward, the blaze reacting with the movement and jerking out toward the street, lashing and snapping at the armed humans.
Ember jerked her head toward the Werewolf, meeting her Sage-green eyes.
"Follow me if you want to live."
Her wings snapped down and back, launching her back in the direction of the docks and between the buildings.

(I'll have Ember fly Lupin toward the docks, they'll probably stop nearby to gain cover and talk or something before sneaking back to the Quicksilver.)
Coal stared in horror as the woman transformed before his eyes.

Coal did not obey. He stomped after Ember, dropping his cloak and gloves. Every inch of his arms and torso erupted into flame. Not subtle at all.
To be fair, the werewolf started it. Coal wasn’t exactly sure why they were protecting a dangerous werewolf from the humans, but it could never be said that Coal would quail where his sister went boldly forth. Plus, what did she expect him to do, stand there?
He joined her in shielding the werewolf and when she flew up, he followed.

Tay ground her heels into the wood, pivoting to face Jintao and the siren. Humidity had released the tight salt binding her hair, and now strands fell round her face and over her eyes.
The box-blade flicked through the nimble fingers of her left hand, a steady, shining routine.
"What is this," she murdered, nodding her chin towards Jintao. "What the devil is this,"

(I guess I should mention that while I joke that Coal has double pecs I don’t imagine it quite like that. Rather I imagine he has human pecs on top of bird pecs. This may change your mental image for better or for worse.

Anyway, it is more likely that he has bird pecs than bat ones (which are very similar to humans) because his wings are on his back. Unlike mammals, you don’t see birds’ rib cages because they have a deep keel with lots of muscle covering their chest. The rest of their body is extremely spare but they need strength in those wings. I think it likely that phoenixes and harpies would have a supracoracoideus.)
 
"Ah, Jintao, finally. I was beginning to think you humans would be squabbling forever."
She flicked a small handful of droplets mischievously at the man, smiling widely, revealing sharpened teeth.
"Introduce me to your flighty young friend, why don't you? Jordan was it?"
She looped her hands over one of the horizontal dock beams, tugging her upper half out of the water and leaning forward with her arms braced beneath her. White cloth clung soaked and loose to her small frame, the large shirt drizzling streams of seawater.

Jintao kept his stance with his gaze locked on Nautalis. He held his blade in an awkward way in front of him, ready to strike if needed. "You know her better than I do," he said without looking away. Keeping one's stare on a threat was a part of survival for his past life which he continued to use.
"I was expecting you to be on the docks, not below them."
He slid a little closer to Tay. "This, is our ticket to a ship and the Undermine," he replied.

"I was expecting you to be a bit later. You've exceeded my expectations, Jintao, well done."
The siren pushed off the beam, dropping back into the water, the white fabric drifting ghostly in the black sea beneath her dark hair.
"Allow me a few minutes to change, yes? I'll meet you both back here."
Nautalis gave Jintao a small salute before twisting and diving beneath the surface again, the flick of a turquoise tail sending a small fizz of silver bubbles simmering on the water's skin.

(They can chat just a bit if you want and then we can time jump to her coming back)

(i stopped getting notifs AND emails somehow. 😭 is it night now?)
(Actually, it's about the same time it was when you left... It's still morning for those affiliated with the Quicksilver. Though for some, it is earlier in the morning than it is for others.)
