The Forest on Elk Ridge (Always Open)

[Zoketi]

Rzu listened, agreeing in his mind. Whatever was happening, it seemed almost coincidental. He flicked his tail and peered at the sky again. "It isss very coincidental..." he hissed, voicing his thoughts.

Zaru slowed, the scent of the herd making her anxious. Would they mind a raccoon nearby? Zaru hoped she could follow them for a bit, it seemed like they were having similar issues. Elk Ridge was becoming weird.

The smell grew putrid. "Filthy! I can take this!" Vesir screamed, galloping into a forest clearing. Then, in plain sight, was an enormous white square object, bigger than any rock he had ever seen, with 2 enormous tubes standing tall, stemming from the object. His eyes grew enormous in fear and awe.

[Zoketi]

Rzu nearly opened his mouth in shock. He curled back around Vesir's antlers, having almost fallen off. "What isss it?" He hissed out, staring.

[Misiziri]

Every traveling compainion stood there just staring at the white object, with the gray cloud billowing out of it.

"It... it's a stinky cloud maker!" A calf suggested. Vesir believed it.

"Why make more clouds? This must mean the sun is too powerful and we need protection! Right..."

[Zoketi]

"Humanssss." Rzu stated softly. He knew it. Having come from where Man lived, he now recognized their scent beneath the gray cloud stink.

Aleeni gaped at the object, feeling annoyed that it was causing so much trouble. She gave a tiny snort.

[Misiziri]

Resora overheard Rzu "Hugh man. Something colorful, but what is a man?" she asked.

[Zoketi]

"They are creaturesssss that have intelligence far over our own, they populate mosssst of the world beyond Elk Ridge. They build thingssss and create many objectssss, ussssing toolssss they have created. They are tall and walk on two legssss, and have no fur, featherssss, or sssscalessss." Rzu answered, hoping it wasn't too weird sounding.

[Misiziri]

Resora laughed like a madman "That's funnier than the rumor about the forest in the mountain! Pa ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Vesir chuckled as well, but not as obnoxiously. "Rzu, you may be seeing things."

[Zoketi]

"Fine. Don't believe me." He hissed, shooting a glare at Resora. "I don't normally hallucsssinate." He added. "Jusssst becausssse you have not glimpsssssed thossssse creaturessss, doesss not mean they do not exisssst."

[Misiziri]

Vesir snorted, and began to reason, "Yes, Rzu, but that's just... to unbelievable. What you basically told me is a 2-legged creature that shed all of its fur, uses tools, and is smarted than everyone else is just... hard to believe," he commented, trying to come off as friendly as possible.
