I know I've been busy lately, but I feel like roleplaying right now, and I seriously need to get some interaction for my characters. Besides, it makes good writing exercises.
I don't know if anyone else misses forum roleplays too. But if you're interested, feel free to join, even if someone else already did. I'm fine wih more than one player.
This pretty much goes without saying, but in my time being part of this community, I've seen some people being insecure about their writing. So I'm gonna say it anyway, just in case of:
Don't be shy. As long as I understand what you mean, there's nothing to be worried about. We're not writing a novel, after all. We're just having fun!
That said, if you prefer starting an RP on Discord instead, feel free to poke me there. I may not be in the mood for chat at the moment, but I'll reply to RPs. My Discord is HeartClock#6888.

Hunger pulled
Dégoût from his slumber. He opened his eyes and took a look around. Luckily for him, the Pond was always filled with delicious food. No matter how much he ate, it felt like the fish population never decreased. Baby fish would appear so often, that he wondered where the eggs could be hidden. Not that he would ever eat eggs anyway.
A school of fish swam closer and closer, not noticing the monster that was lurking in the depth. Without a warning, the latter lunged at them with his mouth wide open. They attempted to flee, but it was too late. Trapped in his jaws, all they could do was wiggling as he gobbled them up.
Replete, the Sewer Mutant emerged from the water for oxygen. He observed the surroundings, looking for entertainment. The Forest was calm as usual. Together, the chirping of birds and croaking of frogs created a melody. In the distance, younglings of different species were playing. Some adults were chilling nearby—but not too close to the Pond.
Boring, he thought.
So boring.
Oh, how he missed the sewers beneath the city. It was big and fun. Foolish humans would come alone or in small groups. Either to explore the tunnels, or simply use them as an alternate route. He never understood them, but he couldn't care less. He was delighted by their presence. He would frighten them, bite them. Their screams were like music to him. The opportunities, however, became much rarer here, in the never-ending woods. He had a few interactions with other beings. Yet not enough to keep him distracted. On the other hand, he had better choices for his diet now. Bugs and rats could barely sustain him.
After a ten of minutes remaining still, he eventually dove back underwater. Right by the border of the shoal, he waited for someone to come. Or something to happen.
It became the Draxomera's
Going about his daily, mundane even, tasks, the whites of Sigel's serrated teeth showed due to an impish expression painting on his face once he saw a familiar aquatic shadow at the border of the Pond. Just for that, the Crimson picked up his pace. He had two guesses what could it be and he had an open score with both.With his body bigger, Sigel could talk bigger. And suddenly his appetite for fish grew, especially at the prospect of a bag made out of alligator skin to go along with the meal.
(I am getting the hang of TEF
@Heldoryn: Sure! Hop in

The crocodilian-like abomination's head and back reappeared out of the Pond. But the rest of his body remained concealed and his smile was no more. It wasn't time yet. The game had only just begun. Sure, he could have stayed hidden until a better opportunity. Yet he deemed it pointless, as the odd creature was already aware of his presence in these waters. Thus, he showed himself and stared at his unfortunate prey, waiting for his move.
[Little bump~]
No thoughts of retreat
Making sure to have the light source behind his back, Sigel stopped between the sunspot and the willow tree. Just to make sure he could take advantage of the surroundings too. Blind Dégoût with either light or some dirt which found its way to Sigel's right hand.
Expression changed to a dark sneer. Only a 'greeting' snort with no intention to actually utter any words at the other male. Sigel readied himself to stand up on his hind legs. Repeating his move from a different situation which had occurred to him, the Draxomera swung his tail and hit the tree next to him, causing the branches and leaves to shiver. Wordless 'you can be next'.
My apologies for taking sooo

Yet, there could be a way to avoid this. Dégoût dove underwater and searched for a fish large enough to satisfy the other one. Since there was plenty of food here, he didn't mind sharing at all. Of course, the other creature being alert, he could still refuse the gift.
It didn't take him long to find the perfect prey. He sneaked closer, then froze and waited. Once it swam in his reach, he grabbed it in his mouth. And, with his sharp teeth, pierced through the poor animal multiple times until it no longer moved. Once that done, he resurfaced and dropped the present near the odd creature—but not too close. He then stepped back into water and observed.
With Dégoût's disappearance
What Sigel didn't brace himself for was the fish flopping in the mud in front of him. What? Of course he understood what was meant with that. The concept of gifts wasn't foreign to him. Giving and receiving them, trying to make it even. Which made it a problem for the Draxomera. “I don't owe you anything.” Approaching the dying animal, he placed his claws on top of it to end its misery. Recognised it, familiar fish, not poisonous. But what the fish lacked, Sigel made up with his words, spiking them with venom. Needless to say, he didn't trust the water reptile one bit and wanted to make things clear before deciding whether or not accept the present.
