WHO: Anne and OTA
WHERE: Around the South Village
WHEN: End of April/beginning of May
OPEN TO: OTA
WARNINGS: N/A - will add as necessary

After returning from the caves and rescuing the kidnapped villagers, and soon thereafter finding themselves besieged, Anne is putting her animal transformation powers to use; you may very well see, or be aided by, a large tawny tiger.

She does expend a lot of energy, however, so when she's not fighting or trying to secure the village, she's resting at home or trying to be excited about rationed meals at the Inn. Or, just catching a quick nap at the Inn.

As the month wears on and the ghosts visits become more frequent, Anne spends more and more time at and defending the Inn, but if you need to get to one of the other buildings, she will offer to run escort.

She's used to pushing herself under normal circumstances, doing so as a tiger isn't much different.

Private to Foggy - post-rescue

Anne was ready to be home. While the rescue missions had been a success, they had been stressful, full of fighting and biting the familiar ghost-like enemies, and not everyone had made it out alive. She finally finally - makes it through her front door and closes it behind her, dropping her pack on the floor.

"Foggy? I'm back!"

And she could really use a hug.

Private to Eddie - backdated to mid-April

She'd gotten a crash course in tigering in the caves, but now that she's back and still in possession of the ability, she's eager to see what else she can accomplish with it, and how else she can make it useful to the village as a whole. It's not exactly like her time with Venom, but she figures he more than anyone else has the kind of experience that might be useful in helping her push her skills further.

Still, it'd be polite to ask Eddie first, and so she makes a point to arrive early enough to catch him first, knocking on the door as a warmly-dressed human to start.

Seifer's House, shortly post-rescue

Anne had returned to find the attacks from the ghost-residents increased, and the actual residents ... waning. She was lucky that the two most important people in her life were still here, but not everyone was so lucky.

She makes a point to gather up a small skein of yarn she'd worked up before heading off to the caves, and heads out to see Seifer. Making her way across the village, she's alert and ready to transform into a tiger at the first sign of trouble, but fortunately it's a quick, quiet trek from her house to his.

She knocks onn the door, looking over her shoulder as she waits for him to answer.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Anne's currently string down at her meal quietly wondering if she were at the point of supplementing her food with small woodland creatures she could catch as a tiger, when she notices movement and looks up to see Diego making his way over.

She smiles, tired, but grateful for the company, and stands to give him a brief hug - or handshake, trying to read him and figure out what is best.

"Hey. How're things up North?"

After all they've been through, there's definitely a hug. Glad to see others with all that's been going on in the village as of late.

"Kind of crazy, actually. I've gotten company," he admits, gesturing for her to sit back down, moving to join her. "Uhmm, two of my brothers showed up in the tubes," he says, grinning kind of crookedly. "Part of why I've been staying up that way. Kind of keeping an eye on one another." Which is the truth, just not all of it given Klaus' detox and Ben's now living status.

"What about you? Anyone been hurt down here?"

"No, not that I've heard, at least. The occurrences of the dopplegangers does seem to be increasing, though, so I'm wary and I hope other people are being alert as well."

And, they seem to be losing numbers as well, but Ben brings some good news on that front and she smiles,

"Two of your brothers? That's great. How have they been settling in?"

"You think this is..." He shakes his head, not sure what he thinks about this. "I know some talk that we're doppelgangers to begin with. You think that's a thing?" He hasn't talked about what he had been told by another, and he definitely hasn't brought it up to Klaus and Ben. Though with Ben there, he's beginning to wonder. Would explain why he's no longer a gateway to that creature.

He hesitates on that a moment, considering. "Uhmmm, best they can. It's been rough. Uhmmm..." He pauses, considering things, and this being Anne. "Klaus is doing okay, and better now that Ben is here, I think. Ben... He hasn't been around for a while. Well, no. He was around but only Klaus knew. Ben was killed when we were teenagers. He's been a ghost since then." Pausing again and then explaining. "He's not a ghost here though. But he's definitely Ben, not a doppelganger, but I have to wonder how they managed it, and what that might mean about what is going on here."

Anne frowns, thinking on his words, and what she'd learned from Tony when she first arrived about the fact that they were clones, technically speaking. "You know, to be honest it's something I forget about, most times; I have incredibly vivid memories of San Francisco and New York. I guess I still have a hard time processing ... all of that."

It take something to process all of what Diego tells her, although by now she's at least familiar with the idea that some people here remembered dying back in their respective homes. "I don't know. I have no idea what they're planning, if anything. Was this intentional or did something go wrong?" She shrugs, but she looks frustrated. "I'm glad you're brothers are well, though. I can only imagine what it would be like to find them and found out they're not their real selves."

"Yeah me too. I mean, why clone me? Hell, the way things are going, me and my family may be dead and not sure why you'd start over with the three of us." Though maybe because Ben and Klaus deserve another chance at life without Reggie ruining their lives. Not that his wasn't ruined, but he is more worried about them.

"Him being a ghost? It was something going very wrong. Not that it's surprising given the things that the old man pushed him too. We talked about the kid super heroes? Ben got the short end of the stick and he died because of it." He had never expected any of them to be there, and he's not sure how much to share about Ben, though this place has a benefit. "It's a good thing he's here. No matter why we're here." If he's a clone, so be it. He's alive and he's not a portal. That's all that matters.
