ULV AUBER| WHITE MASK BUDDHA

The billow of the November tundra was not the problem for Ulv. Mirja's soul was so attuned to the tundra that her home could do no more than a lover's caress. The problem she was having right now was fighting a bear with her fists while naked and wearing the Devil Bonds to reduce her spiritual power by 100%, and physical by 95%. It was tradition that the leader of the festival would hunt the animal they were wearing themselves, and the greater the animal, the better the gods would look upon them. While she kind of disproved gods and heaven by her existence, she was still going to appease her people.

And sure, she could have just swatted it from orbit and nobody would have known, but that was not the point, she wanted to be proper with this. So she was wrestling eight hundred pound of fur and muscle at roughly peak-human power. The bear, did not take kindly to the idea that she wanted to pull of his skin, wear his skull as a helmet for a part, and eat the rest of him, so Ulv was currently bleeding from several clawstrikes. Though, not badly, since she still had her durability, it was still bleeding because she had no spiritual powers at all to back that durability.

Though she did have her martial skill, and so in a moment that presented itself, she pushed off the ground and spun, smashing a Dongbaek into the creature's skull and feeling it shatter. With that, Ulv let out a deep howl of pride, and returned to the harbour with her prize. People had worked hard for the day, and now that night was coming around, left the city to it's Halloween celebration and trekked into the wilderness a few miles north of the city for their own.

Some came naked, some came dressed, some came in between the two. And she had The Five Elders there as well. These men had come from Norway after France had been invaded, to avoid the War. Some might say Norway was far enough away from France to avoid the war, others said giant walls of fire made it clear this was no normal war. They had hunted their own beasts - Wolf, Elk, Musk Ox, Reindeer, and Lynx - and were wearing a poncho of their skin, and their expertly cleaned skull. The rest of the body was hoisted on large spits across the fires for the people who had gathered here.

Ulv had invited many people here, her fiancee included, and even hunted a Doe for her if she was going to come...and, wear an animals skull and an easily compromised poncho made out of it. Good thing she was blind, she'd probably have something to say about the wounds Ulv had kept to show that she had hunted the bear with fist and fury. She'd heal them tommorow when they were no longer needed for the show.

With everything that way sorted out, the bear was gutted, skinned, deskulled, and Ulv stood clad in a Bersark. It's large skull covering her own and it's body draped over hers. Well, part of it's body. Bears were huge and so she only needed a bit of it for the outfit, though on the other hand she wasn't fully covered, her abs and legs well on show.. The rest was given to the Norweigan refugees as blankets. They would appreciate the symbology as much as the warm covers.

Stepping up to the platform, the five Elders introduced themselves, each to applause and approval. Hunting an animal was never easy, when you were on your own and traditionally naked. Though some ignored that part of tradition.

"Jeg er Aigar, jeg har på meg Elgsark!"
Jeg er Birgit, jeg har på meg Ulfsark!
Jeg er Alber, jeg har på meg Oksesark!
Jeg er Gunda, jeg har på meg Gaupesark!
Jeg er Adolph, jeg har på meg Reinsdyrsark!"

Letting them finish, Ulv then took up to the stage and finished up the traditional greetings.
"Jeg er Ulv, jeg har på meg, BERSARK!" Ulv roared the word to the people and there was wild abandon as the people celebrated her prey. And then the part proper began, with much flowing drink, music, food, people, and activities a plenty.

FLAME OF HOPE | END POST

Honey had come for a visit to Minatumi Harbor, mainly out of long standing intrigue and a cleared schedule for the rest of the day. She had heard that the mayor was a really tough Vizard lady, and though she had interest in seeing such a person, that wasn't the primary reason for her visit. She was mostly trying to see how big the city was, and how quickly she could run across the harbor from end to end. Needless to say, she had enjoyed herself for the few hours she decided to spend, even if she didn't speak to a soul. She noticed a lot of people who clearly weren't originally from there, mentally noting that the place had a rise in refugees due to the war.

Honey's attention was soon divided from enjoying the shore, as she smelled a scent she was all too familiar with; Meat. She noticed that some form of gathering was being set up, but she didn't give it much mind, until she smelled that delicious, fresh scent of the wild. Now drooling and curious, she set her sights onto the crowd within an event of sorts, hearing yelling in a language she wasn't familiar with, as she looked about to see what was going on. She wasn't too strange looking in a crowd of nude to almost nude to even dressed beings, having only a short poncho covering half her torso, however that was simply her usual dressings.

The halfling watched as the festivities began around her, more or less watching others to see what was intended to be done, even if the meats put upon display were heavily tempting.. Uncle taught her better, and to have some manners; she wasn't supposed to come and eat food not intended for her, and this meat certainly wasn't hunted and killed by her own fangs and claws, and thus who was intended to consume it was just a bit puzzling to her. Her ears twitched as she heard music, talking laughter, while she was a singular, rather tall stickout in the crowd, looking around confused as she towered over just about everyone present, the wolf sinking down and peeling through the crowd carefully, looking and analyzing her surroundings in silence.

THE REMORSELESS HEROINE

MIDORI Sugiura

A raven-haired woman could be seen amid the mirthful crowd of men and women, all of whom had gathered together to enjoy a traditional celebration. Though it was certainly clear she did not properly understand all of the chants or words that were being uttered during Ulv's gathering and the presence of the elders, Midori was hardly bothered by her lack of knowledge towards these surroundings. Celebrations were not always meant to be understood, even to the mind of an outsider.

It felt somewhat ironic that once upon a time, in the not so distant past, she valued the predatory thrill of the hunt, of making all that stood within her presence nothing but husks that knew only despair. To give one's soul to fury, to become little more than a beast subjugating other beasts, bringing them to heel. Indeed, this was the path she once walked, a trek beginning in pride and likewise ending in enlightenment.

Hunting down an animal would've likely given her great joy and to some extent, it was fun to play the game of cat and mouse, striking down your prey without an ounce of power to speak of, with bare hands as the only weapon afforded to you. Midori was still recovering from the adrenaline rush that her own personal hunting game had afforded her.

Judging by Ulv's wounds, even with the bear poncho covering the entirety of her muscular body, it was clear that the woman had taken claw-strikes from the bear that would've left your typical human gored and mutilated.

For Midori's part, she had hunted down an equally ferocious predator in the wolf and donned its skull, wearing it like a crown. Due to personal preference, she did not wish to have her body exposed in any way, especially to the eyes of strangers. Even so, she did use the wolf's skin like a poncho, respecting the people's tradition in an honorable display.

What was her reason for being here? One had to wonder, and the answer was simple. Iori could not attend the event and so in not wishing to be rude and miss the event entirely, she allowed Midori to come in her place. Midori was not particularly fond of being taken away from her wanderer's vacation but part of her supposed that reuniting with Ulv was bound to happen one way or another. Gazing in the direction of the tall woman or whatever creature she appeared to be, Midori remained silent as her she walked over and prepared a large plate of food, mostly meat, for herself and began to consume it as she observed the festivities unfolding before her eyes.
