Persistent Stalkers (Aiko)
Dusk had settled upon the land, the forest full of shadows under the shroud of night. The moon was a mere sliver in the sky, what meager light it had to offer lost to the forest floor, the thick foliage a shield between earth and sky.
It was into this dark night a young man stepped forth from air that shimmered purple, alighting upon the ground with nary a sound. Hair that been violet under the portal's light now glowed a pale silver, a beacon in the darkness. Eyes glinted as they scanned their surroundings, taking in the still night air broken only by the sounds of forest fauna - the insects buzzing, an odd owl hoot and...
A flash of white as teeth were suddenly exposed in a quick grin, "Ara, Joker senses there be camp close by..." turning sharply, the lithe youth made his way through the forest, following that brief but telling sound of horses settling and, even more telling to his senses, the aura of those were asleep yet far from home.
It was a quick trek he made, accompanied by a brief stop as he reached up tie a black bandanna around his hair to make it less noticeable from the top. There was nothing he could do for the long tail but hopefully no one would be sneaking up behind him to see it in the first place.
Now his pace slowed considerably, if there were horses then Joker could only assume he was in a more medieval realm. Horses usually meant more than one traveller, and in that case Joker was willing to bet there would be sentries on duty.
"Ara, what shall Joker do? Shadow the camp or barge right in?" Leaning back against a tree, he crossed his arms to ponder his situation. As he thought, a whiff of camp fire blew his way, bringing the smell of what ever had been on the cook pot as well. The effect it had on his stomach was surprising.
"Ahaha..." Joker looked down at his grumbling organ and patted it, "Joker must see you filled it seems," his eyes lifted as he surveyed the area. The ice blue ring around his pupil seemed to glow in the faint light, before dimming, the only sign that Joker had used the Dream Mists to pull those in sleep deeper into its embrace. Those who were awake, Joker left so. It would be less fun if there was no one to avoid.
Opening a small portal, he reached within and took out several objects.
"Game, start~!" he whispered to himself before throwing his arms out, two spheres leaving his hands in opposite directions. Upon hitting the floor they would continue going in that direction, giving Joker time to sneak between and see what food was to be had.
