Dark looks around the Everfree forest, deciding to disguise himself... Didn't want anyling knowing that there was a changeling in Equestria. He thinks for a moment, then turns himself into a black wolf, enjoying the brief warmness of the fire he produced. "Right... Time to scout out the forest..." He tells himself, glancing around. He spots a lake, deciding to get a drink before he started. [MENTION=6482]Stuffy McPatch[/MENTION]
Toshie brushed herself off, she looked at a fancy mirror that was behind her and met the eyes of a yellow and pink pony. The mirror was hidden so one could help this pony, Toshie covered the mirror with a sheet before looking eye to eye to the pony then grinning devilishly. She stretched and yawned, her molten gray eyes that had a ligher gray hue in the in the inner area flicked about. "Free again. Well... Atleast until one of those magic horn pony things capture me again." She padded of to the side of Ponyville, where the mirror hid in a dark alleyway. Her grew faster as she went away from civilization, enjoying her new free-time.
Dark takes a few gulps of water, walking around the forest, making a mental guide of the land. It would be useful if his kind ever decided to invade, or traverse through the forest.
Toshie entered an area where trees dotted the surrounding, growing in number the farther she went. Soon she was surrounded by trees and nature. She was not far from Dark when her ears swiveled and nose twitched. She followed scent trails of prey, growing closer and closer to the lake.
Dark sniffs the air, everything smelled normal... Heightened senses were useful at time. Wait... What was that? An odd smell? He sniffs the air again, looking around. This... Was a new smell... He starts walking towards the smell, wondering what the smell could be.
Toshie froze, her mental catastrophizer rang in her head to be aware. She took one silent paw forward, careful not to step and anything that would make noise. She cocked her head at the incoming figure, a deep growl emerging in her throat. SHe gingerly put her paw back, all claws now digging into the earth.
Dark stops, looking around. He heard growling, it didn't sound like anything he had heard before, so as a Scout, he had to investigate. He pads closer, keeping both eyes on the figure.
"Stay back," Toshie warned. "Trust no one. Who are you?" She growled, a vicious gleam in her eyes shone. Her tail flicked while she was ready to attack any minute. She dragged her front left paw a bit to the side. She tilted her ears to the side. "You're obviously not a dog."
Dark looks at her, blinking in confusion. "And how do you know that?" He asks, figuring it was his behavior, and stance... Probably not normal.
Toshie stifled a chuckle, "You don't smell like one. And considering you're a male yet don't pack tells me somethings up. You act like an outcast. I can tell from the way youre standing. Good wolves don't stand like that." She thought a moment, trying to figure out what he is and what he was doing here.
Dark blinks, looking at her. "Fine, yes... I'm not a wolf." He grumbles. "But... I've never smelled something like you before, it's similar to a canine... But, something's off."
"Sure, something off. Probably because I smell however I please." She joked, yet still knew that the only way he would recognize her from the old fables in books. Even then some of them changed the specie. She'd been around long enough to know that only the sharpest of people could identify her scent.
"... So, what do you believe me to be?" Dark asks her, trying to identify her. There was a little information in the Hive Mind, something about... Storybooks?
"Hard too say. Im not that good with identifying species." Toshie spoke with a somewhat curious tone, then thought "Well he's obviously not like me, what other kinds are there?" Another though popped in her head, "Theres this insect-y pony thing, are you one of those?"
(Yes! Only one class left, then I am going home, getting in bed, and starting Parks and Rec... I dunno, I'm excited DX) "Insect...? Hey, that's racist..." Dark mutters, turning into his original form.
(xD, You watch Parks and Rec too? Well, you might as well start Brooklyn 99 too!) "Aha! I was right. What am I kidding, im always right!" Toshie exults and hotdogs. "Nyeh, what are you called again?"
(Um... I've never watched any Parks and Rec...) "Changeling, I'm a changeling..." Dark says, getting a bit annoyed.
"O-kay. You aren't the best at disguising, but anyways, what are you doing here? There must be a backstory." She sat dwn and scratched under her ear with her back paw.
