frantically looks back, sensing the circus trackers nearby, whispering with urgency "Ps-psst! Y-you, hide! Quick!"
grabs mbloat's arm, pulling them into a nearby thicket "Oh God, they're so close! H-hurry and hide, please!"
peeks through the foliage, eyes darting nervously "G-great, just great! Now what do we do? They'll find us here, I just know it."
*whispers gently “they won’t find you… I’ll protect you”
grabs mbloat's shoulders, speaking softly but urgently "Please, you don't understand. They'll stop at nothing to capture me. They've been hunting me for weeks now..."
Shhh calm down, if they want you so badly then why did they let you escape in the first place?
takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves "I... I don't know. Maybe they thought they could find me easier if I was alone.
Well then, why do you think they let you escape?
pauses, glancing around anxiously "I don't know! Maybe they saw that I was... struggling. But who could help me? Who would dare to stand up against them?"
eyes widen in surprise, voice filled with hope "Y-you would help me? But why? Why risk everything for a runaway like me?"
cause maybe if they capture you then they will take you away from me!
grabs mbloat's hands tightly, their voice shaking "Oh God, I never thought anyone would dare to stand up against them! Thank you, thank you so much!
It’s fine really I promise…. smiles
<As Chestnut and mbloat plan their next move, they realize they are being watched by a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows.>
So….do you have a horse form…or something?
whispers urgently, eyes flickering with fear "No, no horse form! We need to stay hidden. We can't risk attracting more attention."
Then how did you get here?
glances at the mysterious figure, whispering urgently "I... I escaped from the circus. It was a chaotic night, and in the chaos, I managed to slip away.
Oh alright….what is your name?
leans in closer, whispering urgently "My name is Chestnut. And you, who are you? How did you end up here?"
My name is Logan and well…I saw you running away so I decided to help.
grabs Logan's arm tightly, eyes filled with determination "Logan, listen carefully. We need to find a safe place, somewhere they won't think to look. Can you help us?" Logan: nods, his voice filled with determination "I can help, Chestnut.
So are you able to run…?cause we will need to…
gazes at Logan, their voice trembling with uncertainty "R-run? Me? I... I can try. But I've never been much of a runner. My legs are weak, and my heart... my heart pounds like a thousand drums when danger looms near. But if it means staying free, I'll do whatever it takes." Logan: places a reassuring hand on Chestnut's shoulder "We'll help each other, Chestnut. We'll stick together and make it through this. Trust me."
Right so….where are we going?
looks around nervously, speaking quickly "We need to head deeper into the Enchanted Forest. There's a hidden cave there, a place where the creatures of the forest take refuge. If we can reach it before sundown, we might be safe." Logan: grabs a map from their pocket "I have a map that should lead us directly to the cave. Let's go!"
Okay okay…just a second mbloat quickly hides his phone and puts some makeup on himself so he doesn’t look obviously human
notices Logan's transformation, eyes wide with surprise "Logan, what are you doing? Why are you hiding your phone and putting on makeup?" Logan: whispers urgently "It's to keep us safe, Chestnut. We can't risk anyone recognizing us. We need to blend in and stay under the radar."
You’re…horse but I gotta make sure I’m fully transformed ok
bites their lip nervously, speaking quickly "I... I don't understand. Why do you need to transform? Why can't we just stick together as we are?" Logan: whispers urgently "We need to be extra careful, Chestnut. If anyone recognizes us, it could put both of us in danger. Trust me, this is the best way to ensure our safety."
<As they venture deeper into the Enchanted Forest, Chestnut, mbloat, and Logan encounter a group of dangerous creatures lurking in the shadows>
Ok hold still I’ll turn you into a chestnut brown horse
heart racing, whispers urgently "Okay, but please be careful. I don't want anything bad to happen to us." Logan: nods, maintaining a calm demeanor "Don't worry, Chestnut. I'll do my best to keep us safe. Just hold on tight." mbloat raises their hands, murmuring an incantation. A warm, tingling sensation washes over Chestnut's body, and they start to feel their form shifting. Their fur changes to a chestnut brown hue, matching mbloat's exact shade.
takes a deep breath, feeling the unfamiliar weight of their new form "I... I can hardly believe it. I'm... a horse now." Logan: grinning "Believe it, Chestnut. You're a beautiful chestnut brown mare now. We're one step closer to safety."
nervously tugs at their new mane, whispering anxiously "Um, Logan, how exactly are we going to navigate through the forest? I don't know the way, and these creatures... they're frightening!" Logan: takes out a compass and points in a specific direction "Don't worry, Chestnut. I've studied the map and I know the safest route.
