Inferno had not seen anything like this in all of her travels. Little bubbles of autumn, just popping up all over in the middle of completely different seasons. She found herself fascinated by the idea and had made the effort to travel here specifically to explore it. She knew that she should put in as much effort to find her family and reunite with them, but this break would do no harm. She meandered through the autumnal land, her mismatched eyes constantly roaming over the changes. Her breath puffed out in a cloud before her in the unseasonal chill, which was fascinating just by itself.

Cascade was pleased to find herself returned, even temporarily, to an earthly existence. Well, sort of. No one could see her, which was a little disappointing. She'd wanted to track down some of her descendants and catch up on the news, or maybe harass Valentine in his old age. But no, none of them could see her. It had been a little boring until she'd realized that she could move things, a bit, which had opened up some pretty great opportunities. Oh look, an opportunity this way cometh - a wolf, alone, looking all aloof and whatever. A great opportunity to do some haunting pranks. Springing up into a tree over the wolf, Cascade set about batting at acorns to fall on the stranger's head. It was a good start.

Inferno yipped in surprise as an acorn landed on her head, startling her out of her contemplations. Rubbing at it, she glanced up only to get a second acorn on the nose. Well, that was one change - the nuts shouldn't be harvestable yet, but the change in weather had forced them along quickly enough that they were apparently falling on their own. She could see that the leaves on the tree they'd fallen out of were completely turned now too, as though they were at the height of autumn instead of the tail end of summer. Shaking her head and ducking another acorn, she continued on her way.

The acorn attack had produced at least one satisfying yip, but the stranger didn't seem too concerned about it. In fact, after just a couple moments she'd continued on her way as though nothing had happened. Damn it, she'd worked hard to get those damn acorns to fall. What else could she throw to make the brindle wolf react? Cascade glanced around, then lit up when she spotted the natural bowl formed by a couple of leaves that had filled with water. Perfect! Bounding over, she waited until the other female was passing beneath it to shove her ghostly paws at the leaf-basin and tip it over onto the other wolf's head.

Inferno watched as a rabbit - its fur mostly brown but frantically growing white patches from the change in season, hopped across her path. She'd caught and eaten a rabbit earlier that day outside of the autumn lands, but it had been fully brown. The season's change was affecting the small animals that lived there, too, it seemed. Her thought was suddenly cut off when icy cold water suddenly came splashing down onto her head from the tree above her. Now she really yelped, and jumped as the cold liquid trickled down her ears and the back of her neck. What the hell? She looked up into the tree, but there was nothing there, just a swaying branch that must have dumped the water on her. Well, that was her cue to get out of here - unlike the rabbit, her coat hadn't adjusted for the change in season, and that was cold.

Cascade grinned at the obvious reaction of the brindle wolf. That was more like it. Aw, but she was leaving! That was disappointing. Cascade had no particular wish to follow her out of the lands that she'd once lived in. Well, at least she could heckle her on her way out of it! Following along as Inferno walked along the path to leave the orchard, the ghostly Saxe continued to gleefully rain down small missiles of acorns, green apples, and pine cones on the actually living wolf until she finally, with obvious confusion, took to her heels and raced off, leaving behind a Cascade absolutely howling with laughter.
