erm... PMing Oz about Aylia's mechanics. Need to make sure were on the same page.
edit: Despite the cloak, Aylia would try.
As with Noir, something prevents you from acquiring this form. It feels different than with Noir though. With her, it was as if the form were difficult and unruly to work with, as if you were a kitten attempting to wrestle a bull. With this one, it is more that the form remains hidden, unknown. Your attention, your inner sense, seems to constantly be redirected, or resisted, or refused.
Check up on my pet corpse. Hasn't wandered off anywhere, has it?
Rotting in peace, right where you left it. Well, a bit further from the campfire and everyone's noses than you left it, but in visible sight a short way away, as if it were dragged downwind.
Well, round them up.
Hey you guys! It's time. We gotta get into position before the thing with the things. Come on![insert formatting and proper robotic terminology here]
Dar'yajira will follow the human back to its camp, and continue watching. If the eye asks him to leave, he'll refuse and stay there through the night, sleeping in the trees some distance away. If Aylia asks him to leave, he'll grudgingly comply.
the human makes several more stops along the way. like I said, she didn't head toward camp, but away. She casts some kind of spell on a group of flyers and removes tufts of down from them as well as one or two feathers from their tails. She peels a few scales off an armored boulder lizard, and finally, she ... perhaps the closest term Dar can thing of is
milks a few sleeping faeries. She's got some talent, to do these things unobserved, except by yourself. anyway, you finally go to sleep late at night. it's early morning when the Eye begins harassing you - that time of day when the world starts waking and the sky starts bluing, stars faded from sight but the suns not up yet. Two of the moons are visible, one toward dawn, and the other settling low in the west.
Noir yawns gently rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and gently getting up.
Begin the greatest wake up stretches of all time.
Noir wakes up sobbing from all the nightmares, and then stretches sore muscles and gets the kinks out, mind still preoccupied by undeath. Mankey people help withthe stretches, so physically she's up and ready to go.
