Lets Explore! Wait what the hell?

Making her way north as Fairytale had, Atreyu followed along after her nearsighted bandmate with Bellatrix and Bigs in tow. She was unaware of how her protectiveness over the albino woman could be perceived as a height thing by the piebald woman beside her, but if it needed explaining she would happily do so. Atreyu's protectiveness over her friend was born from the fact that, should Fairytale lose the glasses she made for her, the albino woman would be a sitting duck. With the glasses she was less vulnerable, but that wouldn't stop Atreyu from watching over her like an older sibling. The spotted dire woman felt her ears perk up on her head as her eyes went wide, so much snow! Why was Fairytale going all the way up here? They hadn't been this far north before, and Atreyu was shocked at how the landscape began to change around them.

As Bellatrix and their companions traveled with her they passed by a wall of bodies in the distance, the stench in the air almost enough for her to turn around and head back south. She knew it was bodies by the way the crows circled along with other carrion birds, by the scent on the air. What kind of monster lived there? The thought made her pause in her step for a moment before she continued on and made a mental note of this location. Here there be monsters, and Atreyu thought it wise to keep careful steps along the way. Not far off in the distance, Atreyu spied the hulking figure of the S.S. Antiox, and Bellatrix went dashing forward. It only took a moment for Atreyu to register what was going on before she followed Trixy at a run.

Atreyu caught Fairytale's scent on the ship once they arrived, and made her way up to the bow to find the albino woman standing with a darker-colored male. Trixy seemed to be surprised at the male's appearance, though Atreyu was unaware of the relation she sought. Looking down over the side of the metal beast, Atreyu didn't have to wonder long at what they all were looking at. Covered in these red, pustule-like lesions and banging its skull against the hull of the ship, the bull caribou seemed to be enraged at the ship. No, the ship didn't seem to be the culprit...Something was wrong in the caribou's mind for it to act the way it did. How interesting...

Listening closely to what Trixy said, Atreyu nodded in agreement. "It's definitely sick, look at all those sores..." Atreyu felt pity for the illness-maddened creature below them. Bellatrix then stole the words right out of her mouth, asking for ideas on how to take it down. "It needs to be put down swiftly. If we could sneak up on the caribou from behind it might be easier to take down." Atreyu suggested, though she looked to Trixy on this one. She regularly traveled with her caribou and would know more about how to take them down faster - hopefully. "Try to avoid direct contact with those lesions, if we can. We rinse ourselves in salt water after this, even our mouths." She wished she had brought antiseptic with her, but she had left those at home.
