((CLOSED DONT ASK))
You are a passenger on the Opex airline, you just got in the plane... You are comfortable... On your way to visit, go back home, vacation, but what you don't know is your going to experience a crash in Vloems Atoll. A island you cannot escape, no vehicles, electronics and such work at this mysterious island ((pretty much like the Bermuda Triangle)) you must live off resources, service the creatures that roam, and it seems your not alone...

((Ok we shall start in the plane :3))
-
((After you))
-
((Alrighty))
The plane lands. On the speakers. "Group 1 May aboard the 111 (Opex) airline, destination to Washington" the female koala announces.
The gecko and the otter pilots sit in the plane waiting for the Furries to aboard.
-
*Sorrow sighed* That's me. *She said under her breath and began to board*
-
*Xiu looks up and sighs*"alright"*he boards also*
-

-
((Alright :3))
The otter looks at the Furries arrive in the plane and sips his coffee. "Alright seems we got everyfur lets get her going"
The gecko nods, closing the door and begins to start up the plane along with the otter. The plane starts to drive on the Runway gradually going faster.
-
*Sorrow sits on her seat curled up in a ball*
-
Alistair tried sitting up-right, looking awfully ridiculous considering he was a feral saber. The top of his head pressed to the ceiling and wedged between two others on the flight. Exhaling he smiled nervously, or to the best of his ability as he flattened his ears.
-
*he sits back and and adjusts his tie*
-
The plane was pulled into the air by the pilots. The gecko spoke. "Alright we have successfully got into air, you do the talking" he nudged the otter. He chuckles"Alright fine"
The otter spoke through the speakers. "Alright, I hope you all get comfortable this flight will be ten hours I believe, please stay in your seats with your seatbelts buckled, be respectful and if there is any problem just ask our lovely flight assistance" he said before going back to focus on flying.
-
Alistair grunted loudly before rumbling out a growl; his size was already enough to show he was feral. Now he was just embarrassing himself.
-
*Sorrow gulped* Te-ten hours.
-
*he looks at alistar and sorrow*
-
The plane flew smoothly. "Can't wait after this, got vacation with the family." The otter spoke. "Kids wanna go to Hawaii"
The gecko sighed. "Might proposed this weekend but I'm very nervous..."
The otter chuckled. "You'll be fine! Oh look what we got ahead of us... Storm cloud, they didn't say there was a storm"
the gecko shrugged. "I'm sure it's nothing, we've been through storms plenty of times"
the otter nods. "Let's hope our lovely guest don't panic, I hate when there's one that complains about it"
-
*Alistair looked back at Red, turning one ear forward, and keeping one back as he looked down at Red* :?
-
*Sorrow starts to become very panicky* Wh-what if the plane crash. we have given a plane ten hours to crash! *she shouts and covers her eyes*
-
*he looks out the window,before looking at the passenger next to him*
-
*Alistair faced forward, just his general being overflowing the middle seat he sat in*
-
*She takes deep breaths* Calm. Calm. *She sighs and sees the other people and becomes embarrassed* s-sorry
-
The flight attendant walks up to sorrow. "It's fine Ma'am we are going to be fine, I've been in longer flights, just relax and try not to scare the others." She smiled sweetly
The man next to the deer was a elder German Shepard humming a old song while looking at the storm clouds ahead.
The pilots continue to drive. Finally they were in the storm, it rained hard, thunder was heard along with flashes of lightning.
-
*Sorrow nods and smiles at the lightning* OH I love thunder! *she says. she hears the old man and faces to him* Excuse me sir. what are you singing?
-
Putting a paw out Alistair gave a gentle rumble toward the flight attendant when he heard the thunder.
-
The flight attendant approached him. "Yes sir?" She said kindly.
The old German Shepard looked at xiu "huh?" He then turns behind to see sorrow. "Oh I'm singing candyman... It was my wife's favorite song, I'm finally meeting her in Washington."
-
At this point he didn't know what to do other than make his various noises which sounded concerned about the thunder.
-
*Sorrow smiled* That's nice. I'm sure she cant wait to see you.
-
Seeing him concern she just looked at the storm out the window. "Just a small storm sir, it's fine we've had worse. This is nothing to the pilots.
"Yes I just called her before I got on, a couple of the grandchildren are there also"
The otter huffs. "We've lost contact, dammit" he huffs.
The gecko talks on the radio but it didn't work, he then looked seeing some buttons flicker. "Mm odd..."
Zaida on the island sat on the beach drawing a few symbols in the sand before looking up seeing the planes lights from afar. "Lights?"
-
*She smiles as she covers her ears* oh damn it every time I go on a plane *She growls and yawns*
-
Ignoring the obvious warning signs for now he pushed himself back into the chair. Taking in a deep inhale then exhaling.
-
Things began to shut off. "What the hell!!?" The otter hissed. "Ok we seemed to having a bit of trouble, the ride might be bumpy..." The otter announced.
The gecko panicked a bit. "Shit... What's happening"
-
Alistair's instincts sprang into action the second he heard the plane shutting down; pawing upward for the oxygen mask.
-
*Sorrows eyes widens and curls up in a ball*
-
"It's nothing..." The otter huffed pressing buttons.
The gecko panicked. "Dammit, it won't let me control..."
The flight attendants just stayed back calmly waiting for orders.
-
((I'll be gone for a bit don't crash without me))
-
((Alrighty pm when back))
Zaida finally saw the plane from afar. "Plane..." She said standing. "They will get hurt" she said in a soft voice holding her spear and backed away a bit, knowing what would happen.
-
*he holds on to his seat*
-
*Sorrow hugs the seat*
-
The lights begin to flash in the plane.
The otter announces. "Everyone stay calm, please use the oxygen mask..." He stopped as they tried going up but the plane already lost control, when it got lower it hit a rock just near the island making the wing fly off and the plane to spin spiral towards the land.
Zaida backed away Into the jungle and watched.
The plane rammed into tree's and rocks the top bottom half caught into a large tree, the top half tumbled like a barrel, wires snapping and oil spilling until it stopped.
Zaida jumped down holding her machete close studying the horrific crash.
-
*Sorrow screamed as the plane spiralled*
-
*Xiu looks out the window,at the torn wing*"
-
Luggage, Furries and parts of the plane scattered about, all Furries were dead leaving you all as the survivors.
Zaida began to approach the broke in half plane. "No survivors..." She mumbled softly hearing from afar the creatures or cannibals were probably on their way.
-
*Sorrow growled as she slowly emerged from the rubble crying cuts and bruises all over her*
-
Zaida looked at the Panther. "You hurt..." The sergal in tribal armor and had some painting on her fur walked closer.
-
Y-yes *she said and falls on her knees* Wh-who are you?
-
*Xiu clicks at his seatbelt and grabs his fedora*
-
"Zaida" she said placing a paw on her chest. "You are?" She asked quietly. Hearing the click she looked back quickly alarmed but looked back at the Panther. A bit nervous if the tribe would come.
-
Sorrow *She said coughing up blood* th-there all dead aren't they! *she said. realization hitting her*
-
Zaida nods not surprised by the dead Furries. "Yes they dead... Crash to hard, I thought all would die"
-
*She begins to cry* Wh-Why does th-this always hap=happen
-
*he hears crying and walks towards it*
-
Zaida looked down at her. Her ears flattened back from the crying. "Shhh... No cry... Please" she get on her knees Patting her back. "They will hear... Please do not cry... You will be fine"
-
*Her crying dies down slowly* Who is they?
-
"Tribe... I am not one of them, they disowned me... They eat others... They cannibals..." Zaida said quietly. "We must be quiet, they might come. Plane crash was big, they could have saw"
-
*he coughs from smoke,stepping on a corpse*
-
*She nods and staggers up and looks behind her* Y-your alive. I thought I was the only survivor?
-
Zaida stood up watching her surroundings then looked at the Sika deer that sorrow talked to.
-
*Sorrow took a dagger from her show* Just in case
-
Zaida looked at deer. "Healthy..." She looked around before handing him a pistol she had found. "We must hurry... Cannibals will attack in sight, Even me"
-
Le-lead the way miss. *she says*
-
*he nods and follows them*
-
"cave, we can rest there. It is safe" she reassured leading them through the jungle.
-
*Sorrow followed zaida* Whats your name miss?
-
"Zaida, my name Zaida" she said lightly. "You can say Z for short."
-
A loud groan was coming from beneath some of the wreckage, signaling that Alistair made it through as well; he was just trapped and scared.
-
*She nodded* Hello miss z. *She hears the noise* Oh no the cute saber!
-
Zaida looked back. "Hurry" she said jogging over to the wreckage dodging the shards on the floor as she did. When she arrive she looked at some rubble. "He under. Need help"
-
*Alistair's paw pushed up through the rubble, even larger than a tiger's paw as his claws gripped some metal. He could hear help coming for him* "ROWN!"
-
*S helps zaida* Its alright cute saber. we'll get you out *She said lifting up the wreckage*
-
Zaida got her spear pushing it some metal and lifting it just a little. She hears some noises in the jungle. "They are near.."
-
*Alistair was pushing upward with all his strength, the heavy metal slab weighing down on his back as he placed another paw out; which cracked the slab he was holding onto*
-
Th-th-they! *She lifts with all her might*
-
Zaida huffs befor pulling her spear all the way down having the shards fall off the saber.
-
*With both of the two fur's help he was able to get free out from under the wreckage; his once bright pink fur now sullied with dirt and grime*
-
*Sorrow offers a hand* Come on.
-
Zaida looks in the jungle. "Must hurry..." She said her long and strong tail swaying back and forth a bit fast.
-
Alistair quickly shuffled along, showing he was a quadruped, not a biped.
-
rrow nods* okay lets go. *Faces al* Can you keep up cute saber?
-
*Al rolled his eyes and motioned for you two to get on his back*
-
Zaida looked at him and shook her head. "I can run, just follow" she sprinted into the jungle going south to her cave.
-
On your back? You sure? *She said* oh well *She hopped on*
-
*Al took off the second Crest was secure on his back, easily keeping up with Zaida as he bound through the jungle*
-
Zaida knowing the jungle like the back of her hand moved swiftly as dodged tree's and rocks, holding her spear close.
-
*Alistair kept bounding after Zaida, his paws gripping the rocks as he landed and pushed himself forward*
-
((Her name is sorrow. nothing to do with crest))
Wow you move fast *She said hanging on*
-
((Bleh, sorry about the mistake. I'm tired))
*Al let out a snort to tell her he knew; hoping that Zaida would arrive to the destination soon*
-
Zaida skid to a stop and looked around before moving her paws softly on the rock wall pushing in some parts. Then a large rock rolled slowly open into a secret cave.
-
((No problem :D))
*She frowned* no need to be rude,
-
*Alistair quickly darted into the secret cave; conveying that nearly being crushed by airplane rubble isnt exactly the best thing to bounce back from*
-
*She got off him and stroked him* its alright cute saber. ummm I don't know your name.
-
*A chain collar jangled around his neck which had a large name tag on it*
-
*She read the tag* okay. Well Al you are certainly fast and strong. *She said and takes out her dagger
-
*He noticed the dagger immediately, baring his teeth with a loud roar*
-
Zaida hissed... "Shhh!" She bares her teeth back closing the rock.
-
Hey now calm down im not going to hurt you. *she said* if I was it would be when you weren't looking.
-
*Al quieted down to a growl, letting out a hiss at the weapon Sorrow held still*
-
Zaida huffed turning on the candles and took off some bandages off her arm showing cuts and bites. She then poured alcohol she found on the plane on it.
-
*sorrow giggled and stroked al* you okay miss Z? *She asked looking at zaida*
-
*Al lied down on the ground, licking at the dripping wound on his forearm*
-
*Sorrow looked at the cuts and bruises all around her* Ow
-
"Yes" she said in the corner wiping it down gently, she put the bandage back on and sighed leaning on the wall listening to some roars of the tribe
-
*Alistair made a blep at Sorrow; showing a golden healing salve on his tongue* :P
-
*Sorrow looked at it* What is it. for my cuts. *She took a bit and put it on her cuts and bruises*
-
*The salve worked miraculously fast, the only draw back being it stung quite bad*
-
*Sorrow growled* Ahhhhhhh! *She said tears forming* This really bloody stings.
-
*Xiu examines the wilderness*
-
*Alistair stuck his tongue out with his mouth wide open and jowls pulled back; almost as if he were trying to laugh*
-
Zaida's ears laid back from her yell and cringed. She shook her head, she laid on the floor in some hid of a large odd creature that she hunted trying to relax
-
*She frowns and jumps on him and starts to tickle him* i'll make you laugh!
-
*Quickly turning vicious he grabbed your arm, not biting down, but just holding in place*
-
*She put her tounge out* I cant be afraid of someone like you. your too fluffy.
-
Zaida watched the two silently her long tail wrapped around her, Like a towel. She just studied them with a raised brow and one ear laid back.
-
*he let go of Sorrow's arm, rolling onto his back with a grunt*
-
*she laughs*
-
*he sighs and adjusts his tie again,sitting on a corpse*
-
A few cannibals arrive at the plane picking up bodies and searching luggage.
Zaida snuggles her face in her tail murring softly.
-
*There appeared to be info on the back of Alistair's tag*
-
*he looks back at the cannibles,drawing a katana from his luggage*
-
The five cannibals look at the deer snarling and growling with their spears drawn speaking an odd language.
-
*Xiu draws the katana,he looks at the cannibals*
-
((Am I still free to join this or is it too late? ))
-
((Yes you may join, just say you were in the plane. I don't want to add more plane crashes))
A bear cannibal snapped the air twitching before sprinting towards the deer.
-
*he slices at the cannibals legs and stabs his chest*
-
The bear falls to the floor hard, the others roar at the deer with anger before the next cannibal, a fast cheetah with his claws drawn.
-
*he looks at the cheetah and turns*
-
The cheetah stumbles pass the deer, the cannibal not that intelligent just turned to slash his back
-
*he cuts off the cannibals arm*
-
The cheetah yelped loudly stumbling back and bleeding out with pain.
The two others run off back to their tribe as the boar snorted and started to charge to the deer.
-
*he grabs th cheetah and throws him at the boar before slicing through both*
-
The two cannibals look back before yelping back to their tribe.
The cheetah and boar corpse lay on the floor.

---
Among all the bodies of the dead, one stirred. He awoke, dazed and in pain, weighted down by a corpse. Once he realized, he squirmed out from underneath while panting frantically. All around him... dead. But he was alive. Was he the only one? He sobbed and shook as he lay on the ground. This had to be a nightmare, not reality...

Sex: Male
Clothing: Hoodie, casual clothes slightly too big for him
Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on

Extra: Short, constantly moving. but a good survivor. Was a skilled engineer, though mostly with technology beyond what the island allows.
((Went back and forth on joining this one... Will you accept me? :3))
-
*he looks at their head roll*
-
((Sure just in a to like this join in the beginning, just like ena. Just say your in the plane))
-
((yea sorry about joining this late, I was indecisive on this one. :$ ))
Fout finally frees himself from the wreckage, he was completely buried, and possibly knocked out. but now...
He sees someone else moving. he ducks down, placing a metal sheet over himself to hide. and watches Geoff.
-
Geoff was curled up in a ball on the ground, softly whimpering while sobbing. "No... nonono... p-please no..."
-
Fout lifted the metal covering, and then snuck towards Geoff, when just out of arms reach, he spoke "Hello? You... is everyone? dead?"
-
Zaida hears noises and didn't enjoy being in the cave all day, she opened it up before grabbing a large jagged machete and sprinting towards the plane wreckage slamming one cannibal out of her way and stabbing the machete to his stomach, as the other left she huffed and left him continuing towards the plane.
-
Geoff jolted. For a split second he smiled, for the voice proved he was, thankfully, not alone. "I-I-Idunno, I think so..."
-
"we... we crashed..." Fout glances around. "There... there is enough metal to make a shelter, and I reckon there should be food still in the plane if we look... should be able to survive in the wreckage.. Right?"
-
Zaida slides to a stop at the tree seeing the three Furries. One watching the cannibals he kill as the other two were speaking. Zaida huffed, standing straight and held a serious expression as she walked towards the plane, the machete resting on her shoulder.
-
Geoff nodded. "Y-yeah, I guess..."
He saw Zaida walking toward them. His wasn't sure if he should be happy or scared.
-
Fout jumps back seeing Zaida, "That machete is bloody" he whispers. Fout makes ready to run but holds his ground for now...
-
"You are not hurt?" Zaida raised a brow only a few feet away from the two but kept her ears listening for any cannibals.
-
"I-I think I'm alright," Geoff said, still shaking.
-
"I was trapped... But basically unharmed." Fout states, he shakes slightly, he is watching the machete.
-
Alistair slowly slinked through the dense brush, stalking forward ever so quietly. Licking his jowls as he rumbled out a low growl, steadying his eyes on the three new furries. Making sure to keep well out of sight of them.
-
Zaida studied them. "Come, tribals, or Aztecs will come if we do not leave" she then looked at the deer with the katana.
-
Alistair mock ambushed them, he was trying to play despite how bleak things look. Although a saber that weighs half a ton that mock charges you could be quite the frightening sight to those who don't know he is playing.
-
Zaida turned the the saber, familiar with animals, chuckled under her breath watching the ambush.
-
Fout jumps as Alistair charges, and Runs behind the wreckage. he looks out and tries to work out if he stands a better chance running or hiding here...
-
Pouncing around in a circle he smiled the best he could, sticking by Zaida's side; his tag still jangling from his chain collar.
-
She watched him pounce, looking at the name tag. She then thought before mumbling "Alistair" in her accent, she looked at the koala that hid. "He was playing, he is friendly" she said softly to the furry that hid.
-
Geoff winced in pain as he struggled to stand. He shrunk low as Alistair charged and teased them.
((I'm so friggen slow at typing right now! UGH))
-
Fout climbs over the wreckage. "pl... playing?"
Fout shakes his head "Who are you?"
-
"He is Alistair" she replied, before drawing her machete and snarling. She then looked at tubal, studying him she put the machete away. "Sorry, it is reaction..."
-
Alistair stood as a soldier would when Zaida pronounced his name correctly. It was obvious he was a labor animal.
-
Geoff wobbled a tad, a bit out of it, shocked that what happened... what is happening... is real.
-
Fout moved over to Geoff, it is worth noting FOut was only half normal height... (Halfling sized) "You... you OK? never seen a corpse before huh?" Fout grinned, it was meant to be reassuring...
-
Zaida studied each furry carefully as she washed her machete, she then walked around the wreckage searching through items and such.
-
He shook his head. "I-I-d--" He couldn't find his words. He took a breath. "I can't beli--Wer-we... We're alive..."
-
Fout looked through the wreckage, and had remarkable luck doing so. "Hey! over here! airplane food!"
Fout heard Tybalt.
"Over here!" Fout yelled, and then slunk back. Should he really yell to a random stranger
-
Alistair lead the way with Zaida, acting as a search and rescue animal; pressing his head into small holes of wreckage to look for more survivors.
-
Zaida said to the four. "Collect valuable items" she said searching through luggage tossing things out and taking what was important
-
Alistair tore open a suitcase, lifting his head with a sock draped over his nose* :o
-
"Wait, sergal... valuable? why? we are not exactly going to be selling anything? wait? is a city or town near?" Fouts eyes lit up.
He glances over to Tybalt. and slinks back slightly. not wanting to be the one to talk to the new fur.
-
Geoff helped search for resources, fighting through his dizziness.
-
Quickly shaking the sock off he rifled through the suitcase still, snapping up a couple tactical knives; he brought them to Zaida.
-
"No, valuable as heal, food, defend... There are tribes they are not peaceful also" she says.
-
"Right, should have said." Fout grabs several metal sheets, and finds a torch, he tries to turn it on. "Huh... that's odd..."
-
Alistair let out a grunt, as he was pretty proud of what he found. Returning to rifling through suitcases he found many contraband food items.
-
Zaida had gathered items. Nodding at some, some she tossed away if they were useless. "Vleoms atoll" she said to tybalt.
-
The next five or so bags Alistair came up empty, getting discouraged quickly. He moped his way over to the last bag, hoping for a big find.
-
She turned to the deer, seeing him stumble about her tail stopped him. "Greetings.." She said softly as her tail wrapped around him and sat him down on a luggage. "Sit, you need rest" she told the deer
-
Fout takes the torch apart, and puts it back together, nothing. He changes the batteries with some spares he had. Nothing. "Huh... why would that be..." Fout gathers up electronics, and starts to experiment. "Electricity just is not flowing... hmm... does lightning exist here? I wonder..." Fout glances around. Bizzarely he did not seem nearly as scared, he rummaged around grabbing food, and supplies, but also trying every bit of electrical equipment he could find...
None of it worked.
-
Alistair tore open the last suitcase, then shoved his muzzle inside to sniff around; his eyes went wide as he latched onto something very large; pulling out nearly an entire pork carcass.
-
Geoff couldn't find anything of use, much to his frustration. The pain in his head grew too much, so he gave up. He knelt down and clutched his head.
-
Fout moved over to Geoff. "you... you OK? I need to ask. do you have a phone I can borrow?"
-
Her hand shut his mouth. "I know, you are not... You came from plane." She was stressed with work and gathered things together.
-
Alistair proudly strutted over to Zaida with the pork carcass that still had thick meat on it, presenting it proudly.
-
"Y-yeah..." He fished his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Fout.
-
Fout, upon realizing it to does not work, immediately dismantles it.
-
She sighed. "I'm sorry but no can escape..." She huffed. "I try but.." She found it hard to explain about the electronics so pointed to fout struggling with the electronic devices. "And" she then pointed in the water. "Giant beats" she made her paws imitate a large animal jaw.
-
Geoff barely reacted to his phone being dismantled. He sighed and rubbed his head.
-
"Does not work?" fout stated. "Yes I know but why? WHY?"
-
Alistair flattened his ears and began to take off with the meat, rolling his eyes at the fact that his hard work wasn't rewarded.
-
Zaida looked at angder. "None work..." She sighed. "Island made plane crash" she said. "I watched it happen" she said quietly.
-
Hearing Zaida's words, Geoff quietly swore.

She huffed. "I am not stupid... I studied... Look" she pointed to a large boat stuck against the rock just out in the water, then pointed to a few jets down the beach. "They crashed here, along the island you will find more... I just do not know how it does"
-
Alistair dropped the pork, jaunting back to the wreckage when he heard some movement, "orwm?"
-
I crawled onto the beach, finaly reaching the island. I was panting, my tongue hanging out. I was wet and soaking, my coat feeling heavy. I had my hat in one hand, it was all torn up and in shreds.
"Dang," i mutter tossing my hat to the side. exhosted, I colapse on the ground.
-
Zaida looked just down the beach she had pointed down seeing something crawl ashore, she huffed at the laughing deer before drawing her jagged machete and approaching slowly and carefully.
-
I look up, seeing trees and vegitation. getting to my feet, I walk into the vegitation.
"Help!" I cry, I knew that people weren't ever going to here me.
-
Zaida heard the yelp as she grew close. "I am here, I will help... You are hurt?" She asked helping chains to his feet with one strong pull.
-
Fout sighed, dropping the electronics. "I... there must be a reason..."
-
I hear the cry and start walking toward the sound.
I finaly find sivilization. I was still exhosted and I colapsed going unconcious.
-
Zaida looked down at chains and tapped her foot softly on his cheek. She huffed helping him up and started to drag him to the others.
-
A komodo dragon hissed back at Alistair, causing him to withdraw quickly; backing away.
-
*Xiu sits in and sharpens hus katana,using a sharpener*
-
Zaida sat chains down and slapped his cheek lightly. "Wake up" she said in her accent which sounded a bit similar to Spanish but a bit more smoother and lighter than normal Spanish accents.
-
I woke up,
"What... What's going on?" I asked looking around.
-
Fout nudges Geoff. "Shouldn't we be making a shelter, or getting to shelter?" Fout asks. "I... I don't feel comfortable out in the open..."
-
"Crash, you just woke..."
She then heard fout "Cave" Zaida said. "I know a cave, my home"
-
"Dark?" Fout asks. "Can you take us there?"
-
"A cave," I ask. I get up and start following this furry.
-
"Candles" she said "makes it brighter." She gestured all to follow as she got the valuables in a luggage and began to carry it. "It's south, won't take long."
-
I followed this furry deeper into the cave. I take my hand and run it over my fur. It felt srange without my hat. That was my favorite hat as well.
-
((still too friggen slow. x_x ))
Geoff followed silently. He wasn't in the mood to talk, and using his voice felt like a chore.
-
Fout followed, he had no issue with the dark, in the dark you could not be seen...
Its light that scared him
-
I adjust the chain around my torso. the way it had slide onto my shoulder was getting really unconfrotable. The arrow head swinging a little bit.
-
The cave was large the most of the floor was coved in animal hide, probably for blankets and such, the cave even having some smaller caves and tunnels inside, but deeper in the cave grew dark. Zaida allowed all the others to enter before having the rock roll the opening closed. "Tribals, and cannibals are not smart enough to get in" she reassured dropping the luggage.
((I'm just saying everyone followed into the cave))
-
Fout moved to the darker part of the cave. "This whole place is safe right?"
Fout curled up on the floor
-
"Yes, very... None can get in but me, and some fear that this is a large beast's cave, but I lived here for years and no beast" she said organizing the weapons, food, and heal materials.
-
taking sticks and piling them on the ground, i strick two rocks together and make a fire.
-
Hearing this, Fout goes deeper in, and prepares to sleep in almost complete darkness.
-
((I have some minecraft drama to take care of atm so I'mma be even slower. .______. ))
Geoff laid down on the cave floor, hoping to sleep off his headache.
-
I layout my coat, going to let it dry out. Never a good Idea to sleep in wet clothes.
-
Fout falls asleep very quickly, feeling oddly safe in the darkness.
-
leaning against the wall, near the fire, I fold my arms and close my arms, wrapping my tail over me like a blanket. My breathing slowing till I was asleep.
-
Zaida crawled to the other side of the cave where no furry was and laid in the animal pelts holding her tail watching the fire. She had the machete close just in case and kept her ears up, listening.
-
In the darkness Fout was virtually invisible he did not snore, and barely moved at all...
((Night all, I am heading to bed for real!))
-
*Xiu looks around,while twirling his fedora on his finger*
-
Zaida didn't sleep so much, she was partially nocturnal or just slept all day, so she usually had energy to stay up a few days. She just examined her arrows sharpening the arrow heads.
-
With a snort, I wake up. My clothes dry and the fire had died down considerable. I put on my trench and went to go back to sleep when I noticed someone was still up. They seemed to be all alone.
I walk up to them and sit down next to her.
"Hey."
-
"Yes?" She asked in her strong accent but in a soft tone continuing to sharpen the arrowheads.
-
"Couldn't sleep?" I ask taking my boots of and letting my feet air dry. I didn't want to get any foot funges.
-
"No, I just do not want to sleep" she replied. "I slept for two days before you all came here, so I am fine"
-
*Xiu was sleeping with his hat over his head*
-
"Ah, I see. What you got there?" I ask pointing to the pile this fur had then took my tail and ran my hand through the fur. I didn't reallly like knots in my fur.
-
"Arrows, I'm sharpening... For hunting or enemies" she simply said before standing and getting her jagged machete on her back and grabbing the bow and arrows.
-
"Enemies?" I ask putting my boots back on and following her.
-
"My old clan the Metztli clan or the Eau tribe" she says fixing her bright Aqua paint on her fur and her attire already stained with Aqua markings, which was different than the others.
-
"Do you want any help?" I ask.
-
"your choice.... Can put you in danger and I won't want to know that you died since I chose for you" she said. "I'm going to raid the Eau tribe"
-
"I've been in many dangerous situations." I said.
-
"Your choice" she repeats. "I do not make choices for others"
-
"Alright." I said getting up to the entrance of the cave.
-
*Xiu gets up*"a raid?"
-
Before leaving Zaida turned to the deer. "Yes, to the Eau tribe"
-
(So is Xiu a deer, I read the character sheet but it never gave a species)
-
((Yea he's a Japanese deer, saki deer I believe))
-
(Ah, I see.)
"You coming," i call behind me already walking out of the entrence.
-
"I wil get prepared"*he walks out the cave*
-
Zaida closes the entrance up tight so know one could enter but her, she nods. "Come" she starts walking north.
-
I turn, my trench gliding in the wind. I follow this fur.
"So, i never got your name?" I asked as we walked.
-
"Za-duh" she says slowly for him then says her name in its regular way. "Zaida" she spoke softly.
-
*Xiu takes off his jacket,vest and shirt before grabbing some red paint and drawing designs on his body*
-
"Zaida," I repeit. "Such a lovely sounding name.
"So who is this Eau tribe or other?"
-
"Thank you" she nods. "They are the middle class clan they are smart, and strong, none except me can speak, I taught myself when disowned by the metzli tribe, found books on other planes and read" she said. "So they cannot read or understand me, and what is your name?"
-
*xiu finishes the design of a dragon on his body along with three trails of red pigment across his face,before grabbing a bandana and wrapping it around his head*
-
"My name is Mark, Mark Parkson; but, most people call me chains." I saw opening up my trench and grabing my chain.
-
"And my names Xiu Liang"*he says approaching them*
-
"Nice to meet you Xiu Liang." I say turing my head to see the deer.
-
"Mark I think I will call you chains also and X-Xui" she struggles with the last name but pronounced it perfectly, nodding she says. "We are getting close, so be quiet."
-
*he nods and looks at it starts to rain*
-
My ears flatten agains my head.
"I always hatted rain, love it when I'm inside, but ouside no."
-
((Do you care if I join? I know I'm late.))
-
((*sigh* fine but it's closed so your the last one)) "Rain is good, we get it a lot since this is tropic area" she said before stopping in plane drawing the large jagged machete. "Keep low.."
-
((Sorry if I made things harder. I'll make a character sheet.))
-
Lowering my self, I start to unravle the chain around my torso. The arrow head in one hand while I had a coulple loops in the other.
-

-
*Xiu draws his Katana*
-
((It's alright just At the edge of throwing my little sister...ugh siblings))
Zaida stops at a rock peaking over to see the Eau clan. "there they are" she says in a whisper watching them closely.
-
Peaking over, my ears twitch a little trying to hear.
-
*Xiu sits and waits for the go*
-
Ray floated to shore, on a piece of the wreckage from the plane. He was unconscious, as the make-shift raft beached itself on the shore.
-
The Eau clan spoke a different language. As they were cooking a large canine seven feet in length, and three feet wide having no eyes, it had a long tail with a blade at the tip like a scorpion, and claws were a feet long. They had a ceremony and danced around the fire.
Zaida began to crawl towards a tent and got up in a crouching position and gestured the others
-
*He nods and silently move to hef*
-
Zaida draws her bow and aims at one of the guards that weren't near any of the tribe members. She shot quickly and crouched.The jaguar fell quickly when shot in the neck. "This tent" she walks in and starts to take any valuable items. She grabbed a small bottle of venom and dipped some arrows in it.
-
I quickly follow Zaida into the tent being look out for anybody to come over.
-
Zaida peaks from the tent tossing a rock for a couple guards. They walk over. She shot a few arrows and seconds later their bodies were heard hitting the floor.
-
"Your're really good at this." I say watching in ahw.
-
Zaida nods. "Practice..." She snuck out having some of the items in her bag. She started to another tent. "Come.."
-
Ray woke up, and stood. "Ugh...my head..." He walked to the beachhead, and sat again.
-
Running up, I caught up with Zaida, My boots making a slite spash sound on the muddy water. I was getting soaked and my wet fur was making it harder for me to stay quite.
-
Some started to come to where they heard the noises. Zaida grabbed chains and carefully went around the tent avoiding the guards. She then laid him flat to the floor along with her blending with the mud and the guards walked by.
-
I found myself bieng pulled around, a quite yip of supriss escaped my mouth.
-
Ray blinked, and reached behind him, where he tucked his revolver away. "Yeah. I'm alive!"
-
She gets up from the mud sneaking behind one guard and snapping his neck quickly. She tossed chains the bow. "Silent and long distance" she said.
-
I catch the bow and look at in confusion.
"I don't know how to use a bow." I wisper to Zaida.
-
She stops staying silent. "No need..." She looks seeing the food. "Only thing left to steal is good" she said "must think..." She watched at the tribe members dance around the fire and huffed.
-
Ray groaned, and rolled onto his back. " Ugh...hey, you got any water on you?"
-
I see a gaurd quailty sneack up behind Zaida. I quickly and quielty run up to the gaurd and wrap the chain around his neck chocking him. I made sure no noice scaped his mouth.
-
*Xiu kils some guards who were on watch positions,*
-
Zaida saw the struggling guard giving him a small cut with her blade but tapped just a bit of venom making him grow weak and chains to kill him faster. She then grabbed a stick engulfing it in flames she tosses it to the farthest tent having the tribe panic to put it out before getting to the other tents. She ran to the large beast they were cooking gesturing both Xiu and chains to help before the saw.
-
*he grabs it*
-
I grab it. grunting a little to lift it.
-
*he picks it up and grunts*"c...mon..
-
"We hide the food, then destroy the tribe" she says with a cold and serious tone as they carried it out to a tree
-
"Wait, destroy the tribe?!" I asked shocked.
-
*looks at zaida*
-
"Yes, if we don't they can kill us... They killed many like you... Even children, I don't want to lose more Furries" she says.
-
"But these are furries too!" I exclaim.
-
"But...wait...."*he looks at the people extinguishing the fire,seeing some women,some looks pregnant*
-
She huffed. "but if they take your lives. I won't regret my decision" she says walking. "Let's get to cave or we will be caught"
-
I nod and lift the stick back up.
-
Sh carries it high walking to the cave and huffing since the. Mud was slippery. She arrived at the cave and let go real quick opening the cave and helping them get the cooked beast in. "Here" she set it down. "And it's already cooked."
-
She huffed. "but if they take your lives. I won't regret my decision" she says walking. "Let's get to cave or we will be caught"
*he looks at her*"we can defend ourselves well enough to fend off these guys"*he looks to the front*"as long as youre heart stealing tribe doesn't tangle with us we'll actually keep a steady group"
-
I look at Xiu
"I agree with the deer."
-
Zaida sits back her back against the wall. "... I just do not enjoy them killing new Furries, it was just foolish revenge in my soul, it will not happen again" she huffed having her tail wrapped around her, with her head resting on her knee's watching the fire.
-
*Xiu sighs*"damnit..."
-
"You both may eat, just save for others... I shall rest" she rolls in pelts getting cozy while watching the fire, murring lightly.
-
*Xiu grabs the food and sighs*
-
Zaida not quite tired rolled in the pelt to the cooked beast and took a small piece before rolling back, she looked at the top of the cave taking small bites.
-
Geoff woke up feeling rested enough. His headache had faded, but it still felt sore. He hoped he didn't get brain damage from whatever knocked him out.
He saw the others... and the bizarre, partially eaten beast. He examined it curiously before grabbing a portion of meat with a quiet croak of thanks to Zaida. Eating was the last thing on his mind, but knowing this was a real survival situation, he had to keep fed. He craved water more than anything, but he kept it to himself for now.
-
Fout was already eating in the dark. He had been careful not to wake anyone...
-
((Is Fout within eyesight?))
((Woops, posted my next post in the modify thing. :P ))
-
((You might be able to hear him, but he is in pitch black, so not without a light source))
-
Geoff could hear someone in the dark end of the cave. He carefully walked closer. Seeing it was Faut, he sat near him--not close enough to creep the apparent socially-anxious guy out. He knew that pain.
"Hi," he spoke softly to him. "Uh, I'm sorry about earlier. My head was hurting really bad. I could barely see straight..." He smiled somewhat.
-
"N... Not a problem." Fout said. "May... maybe you should get someone to take a look at your head... Not me... but someone"
-
Geoff frowned. "Yeah... you may be right..." He muttered, rubbing his head.
"W-well, I'm okay now, just... if my brain is damaged, I guess that's just... just how life goes." He paused and shrugged. "... T'was out of my hands..."
-
((Gah, sorry for the delay, blame skype!))
Fout remains silent, chewing on his meat
-
Geoff, feeling pretty awkward, silently continued eating. He regret making such a comment. He always had that habit of running his mouth.
((Geoff is fine, by the way. ))
-
Fout does not actually mind. Geoff seemed to be the nicest (And least scary) of the people he had met
-
After a minute or two, he decided to break the silence with a friendly chat. "Uh, so, what's your name?" Geoff asked.
-
"Fout" Fout replied.
-
"Ah. I'm Geoffrey. Or Geoff." He smiled. "It's nice to meet you, regardless of the, uh, situation, here, uh..."
He paused as he tried to think of something nice to talk about.
"Where are you from? Somewhere in England, it seems... I'm from Scotland. Near Edinburgh. Eh, I know my accent is a little weak. My mum is from the States. Lived there for a time..."
-
"Nowhere" Fout said. "I just sort of drifted, finding erm..." Fout stopped himself mid-sentence "Surviving" he said at last.
-
Geoff blinked. "Surviving?" He thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yeah... was kinda in the same situation. Long story, but after something stupid, I was kicked from my parents' house with barely a warning. Had no shelter and no one to turn to there, so after a while I used the little money I had left to fly to an online friend's place... then, er, you know the story..."
-
Fout nodded. "I fled england in order to escape someone..."
-
"'Escape someone'. Jeez. I can't imagine... getting that far on someone's bad side. I'm glad I've mostly avoided that type of people for the most part. I got my face punched in by a guy, but it never escalated much past that."
((I love when I think I typed a word but didn't. It's great. XD ))
-
Fout grinned cheekily "Not entirely his wrongdoing... We both got eachother I think..." Fout grinned even more. and whispered "how do you think I could afford the flight?"
-
"Ohhh, I see." He smiled awkwardly. "Heh, to be honest, my ticket wasn't entirely paid with my own cash either... still feel a bit bad about it, but I guess I got my karma."
-
"Karma?" Fout grinned "Karma has no effect on me..."
-
Zaida woke up and yawned, she fixed her Mohawk and huffed looking at everyone into the cave, she then rolled and stopped holding a piece of paper and pen she lightly began to sketch leaving them be.
-
Geoff felt much more comfortable around Fout now. It was nice to have someone to talk to.
"So, what are your interests? I'm a cartoonist in my spare time. Made a few flash animations, before I was kicked out, of course. I hoped to make a living off that stuff, but I doubted I could pull it off."
-
"Technology. Inventing things... seems thats not something I can pursue here though" Fout said sadly.
-
"Yeah... At least I can draw dumb things in the dirt or something." He grinned.
-
"Paper should still work... if you can make some here..."
Fout stopped and thought for a second. "Basic chemical reactions still work... And we still work... I wonder if you could build a theoretical organic computer... though you would probably need technology to produce such a thing."
"or magic. I guess"
-
"I wouldn't know a thing about that," Geoff said, leaning back against the cave wall. "Computer mechanics boggle my brain. The most I know is how to turn the things on," he chuckled.
-
Fout sniggers. "I could make a phone into a gun if I tried... not sure why I would though. Phones don't make good guns..."
-
"Now, I'd like to see that!"
Geoff sat back up and peered at the cave floor silently for a moment.
"So this is really happening... We crashed. Left stranded on an island. I can't believe I'm alive and experiencing all this."
-
Fout sighed. "Not all bad." he stated simply
((We should wait for others))
-
((Yeah. That's kinda why I'm sticking with just dialogue. Hooray!))
"Yeah, I know. It's just shocking..." He sighed.
"I'm getting pretty thirsty. There's natives around, so at least we know there's fresh water close by."
-
((We have already done 2 pages, I think thats enough dialog between two people... people will have to read it all in case we do stuff! D: ))
Fout looks down at his feet. "Wonder when the others will wake?"
-
((AGH I DIDN'T NOTICE. I'm really in the mood to roleplay but everyone is gone D: ))
-
((I am glad the MC RP is running for me! ^_^ ))
((Though yea, I know the feeling, its what was good about the Furhouse while I was there frequently, constant activity thanks to Zarco!))
-
Zaida stopped and huffed eating a small piece of meat. She looked at the map she made some places marked showing tribes.
-
*Xiu wakes up and yawns*
-
Zaida studies her map carefully seeing if everything was right. She labeled north, west, east, south so things would be easier.
-
((Ummm I'm not sure where I am at the moment))
-
((Well most followed me to a cave, and some stayed at the plane, your call))
-
((Yeah I believe I'm in the cave))
*sorrow woke up and sighed. As she wiped her eyes* Eve-every time.
-
I must have fallen asleep, because I was back to the spot I was at. The fire had died long ago. I could hear noides and i followed till I found two people talking. It was pitch black though.
"hello, anyone here?' I ask my, I had my tail in my hand messsing with it.
-
"We are all here" Zaida spoke fixing up the map sitting in her soft pelts her long tail swaying back and forth slowly. She continued to hum a song she then stand. "Do any of you want water?" She asked.
-
Geoff raised his hand up, although she probably couldn't see him in the darkness. "Er, I do. Thank you."
-
"Water sounds nice!" i call back.
"So whey are you all in the dark?" I ask
-
Fout stays quiet, letting everyone else talk... preferring to remain hidden for now
-
"You know I can smell you!" i call to the one not talking. "I know your in here."
-
"Y-yeah, I'm here." Geoff answered. "I just like darkness. It's peaceful. Easy on the eyes."
-
Fout slunk back
"I... I just would rather stay quiet is all..."
-
"Why are you shy?" I ask finding a wall to sit down in the darkness. "So, I'm Mark, some people call me chains though. What do they call you?"
-
"Uh... Geoffrey. Or Geoff," he said as he slouched, feeling a tad uncomfortable. "Nice to meet you."
-
"Fout... I am fout... Staying back is just safer..."
-
I look towards Fouts direction,
"How is staying back safer?"
-
"Hidden" she interrupted. "Good tactic" she continued with the map.
-
"What she said..."
-
"I'm going to get fresh water to drink" she said getting up.
-
"Thank you, ma'am," Geoff said to her.
-
She grabbed a fishing pole that she had found in some luggage and went to head out for water and fish.
-
Watching Zaida leave, Geoff wondered whether he should join her. He stood up.
"I think I'll go outside as well," he said to Fout and Chains.
And so he did.
-
"Well," i said getting. "I think I'll take a nap." I went next to the fire pit I made last night and sat down. Closing my eye fell asleep my tail twitching once in a while.
(Sorry guys, have to go to work now. :'( )
-
Fout also stayed in the cave. seemed safe enough in here! why risk it?
-
((I'll be off and on this week, testing week :S ))
Zaida closes up the cave before heading east walking up the small hill with the items she needed.
-
Geoff followed Zaida a distance behind while calmly surveying the landscape. It seemed far more peaceful than the city back home.
(( It sucks barely anyone can post at the moment. :C ))
-
Animals and insects were heard in the tropical habitat. She stayed silent as she still Wales east before turning west hitting bushes and small tree from her path with the machete, she then arrived at a fairly large pond with a few water falls falling down the rock wall the water glowed bright, odd fishes, and other creatures swam around peacefully. "We are here" she said softly.
-
Geoff gaped at the sight of the pond. "It's beautiful here," he said softly with a smile.
He stepped along the edge of the pond and bent down to take a quick drink of the cool, refreshing water. He then sat back and watched the odd-looking creatures swimming.
-
*Sorrow stayed at the back of the cave in a ball with tears in her eyes*
-
Geoff peered as a strange little pond creature swam up near the edge. He quickly dipped his hands in the water to catch it. The creature nearly escaped before his fingers managed to grip its tail, and he adjusted his hands into a bowl shape around the creature and brought it slightly out of the water. He laughed, surprised he managed to catch it, and grinned as he examined it. He hoped it wasn't venomous.
-
she scooped up some water and sipped some. "The water is fresh, no sickness" she nods. "So you don't need to boil" she then tossed the hook in the water having the pole between a tree so no fish can pull it in. "Also easy to catch"
-
She looks back seeing tybalt. "There you are, you weren't in the cave. This is secret pond" she gestured him to come along the tree's and rock reflecting the glowing water.
-
As Geoff turned to see Tybalt, the little creature jumped out of his hands and plopped back into the pond.
"Hello," he greeted.
-
Zaida got a bit agrivated as she was teased so stayed silent and sat on a rock pulling another fish from the hook into the small pile she already had in a basket next to the bucket of water.
-
Geoff looked at Tybalt oddly. "Uh... that's not the best way to, uh, catch fish."
-
Geoff blinked and scratched his head. "O... kay..." He scooted back for more space between him and the crazy deer.
-
Zaida looked and shook her head. "That fish gets you sick if raw..." She sighs but didn't care much for the deer since he didn't treat her well. "I got enough..." She stopped listening and grabbed the basket and bucket but the pond water shook making the fishes swim to the bottom and the rocks to bounce.
-
Geoff raised an eyebrow and watched as Tybalt chowed down on the fish. He could have waited until they got back to the cave, or at least cooked the thing, but who was he to judge?
-
Zaida looked at them. "Hurry we must go..." She said looking around frantically. "Come" she commanded them to follow as she looked around.
-
Geoff looked up at him. T_T
"How the hell should I know? I don't even know where we are."
He listened to Zaida and did as he was told.
((I just noticed my counted post count! :D :D :D ))
-
Zaida sighed as she walked towards the cave with food and water as she lead them carefully through the tree's and rocks humming a song peacefully.
-
"Actually, I think it's a good idea to stick with her. She knows the land far better than we do, right?"
((My post count is "1111". It's cool. Pointless, but cool. ))
-
"I saw her draw a map of the area while in the cave earlier," he stated simply.
-
"So what? She's still a person who cares about us and wants to help."
-
Zaida heard them whispering her ears laid back with anger. She simple huffed and still went towards the cave. When they arrive she stopped, opening up the cave and walked in with the others setting down the fish and water.
Zardoff a dark grey sergal the tribes leader growled coldly at the others, he stood seven feet tall and his body was chiseled, covered in his tribal markings and scars. He looked off where the plane had crashed seeing an open view of most of the island that was covered in tree's since his tribe tested up on the mountain.
-
Geoff stared irritably at Tybalt for a moment, but his face softened as he thought about it more. While Zaida was very friendly and helpful, she knew no way to get them back home. And what if she ends up turning on them for whatever reason? He doubted it, but he probably shouldn't depend on the sergal forever.
He sighed. "Alright... Let's see how well we do without her."
-
Geoff shrugged and walked into the cave. He sat down in the darkness and thought about this.
Did Tybalt really think they could swim out? If they even got somewhere before drowning, it would certainly be an island just like this one.
And... "back home"... what home? Geoff had no home. That's why he was on the plane in the first place. Heading to an unfamiliar place to live with a long distance friend. One who could be a jerk in person just like the last one he stayed with. He would likely be evicted just the same. There was no "going back home". Only going elsewhere.
-
Zaida huffed angrily as she sat alone in the cave. She didn't enjoy being treated like this. She sighed and rested against the rock walls the fish was cooking and the water sat on the right side of the cave. picking up books and beginning to read silently to herself, she thought by huffed. "I could care less about them" she mumbled.
-
((Geoff is in the cave. He's just thinking about it.))
((Unless you mean she doesn't know he's there because he's in the dark. I'll go with that))
Geoff watched Zaida's angry huffing and slid lower against the cave wall, feeling awful. Maybe she heard some of the conversation between Tybalt and him. She probably thought he agreed with his offensive nonsense.
"Are--Miss, are you okay?... I'm not against you at all. I really appreciate your help."
-
((It's a large cave, she's just sitting alone))
She stayed silent, ignoring him she continued to read silently, her tail swaying back and forth very slowly sometimes stopping. She then got the fish as they were done cooking and set them in the basket keeping them hot for lunch and making sure everyfur would be able to eat. She just stayed calm but avoided to talk feeling embarrassed.
-
((Oh. I'm dumb XD ))
Geoff felt he was being ignored. Terribly upset, he curled up and rested his head on his knees. He was going to turn away from Tybalt and stick around here for good, but now maybe he really should leave. Zaida must hate him now, and he feared his presence wasn't welcome anymore. He was a drain on their shared resources anyway.
But he wouldn't depend on Tybalt. He seemed a bit too mentally unsound to trust. He'd still help him out if he can, of course. Maybe that's what he should do, keep the poor guy from wandering alone and accidentally killing himself.
-
Fout Cautiously moved over to Geoff.
"Whats wrong?"
-
Geoff raised his head to look at Fout.
"I... Uh... think I should leave you guys."
-
Fout tensed up, so far Geoff was the only person he... Trusted was too stronger word... was not afraid of?
Whatever the word, Geoff was the closest thing he had to a friend right now.
-
Thinking Fout probably wanted to know why, Geoff continued.
"You remember that deer guy who was with us when we woke up? He showed up. Tried to persuade me to leave with him. Said offensive things about our native friend. I thought about leaving because I didn't want to be dependent, so I kinda agreed to leave, b-but decided against it. But... I think she..." he motioned toward Zaida, "she heard some of our conversation. And now she's angry. She thinks I agree with his words, I bet..."
His breath sounded as if he was holding back sobs. "I d-don't. She hates me, I can feel it..."
-
"Right... but... she..." Fout Glances around. "Where would we be going?"
-
"Wh-what do you mean?"
-
Fout looked up, looking confused. "Well if we leave, we must be going somewhere right?"
-
"W-'we'?..." He thought about that word. "I didn't think of anyone else leaving with me. And I don't know... I just planned on figuring it out as I went along. Maybe keep an eye on that nutty deer guy..."
-
Fout shook his head "You would have been dead in minutes alone out there... of course I will come. and if you have no location to head to, then pick a direction. and go that way until you have reason to stop..."
"I have done this before..."
-
"Thank you, but... Are you sure you don't want to stay here? Everything is set up here. You shouldn't leave it just because of my foolishness..."
-
Fout glanced around... and shuddered. "I like the cave... but..." Fout sighed. "I am coming with you... You won't survive without me..."
-
Geoff appreciated Fout's concern, but it also irritated him a bit. "I know it seems that way, but I'm sure I can make it on my own." He paused for a moment and sighed. "It will bother me. Knowing you left with me because you're worried about me. You have no reason to be worried. You have no reason to leave..."
-
Fout sighs. "Fine... l... leave without me then."
-
With a snort I jult up waking from my sleep. I stretch and attemp to get up. My back is really sore and pops a couple times. Leaning over and putting my hand on my back i walk over to the food.
"I'm too young to have back problems," I tell myself.
-
Geoff curled up tighter and looked down. He stayed silent for a moment.
"... That... doesn't mean I won't stop by and visit... I do like talking with you. You're my friend... I just don't want to be a burden on everyone."
-
((OK, I THINK Tybalt came to your cave Zaida, but you interpreted it as a different cave...))
"I understand..." Fout said. "If you must go then go..."
-
Walking by Zaida, I attemp to pop my back again as I walk towards the entrance for fresh air.
-
Geoff nodded. "Th-thank you, Fout. Thank you for caring about me..."
((Also, I've been getting multiple deja vus with some of the posts here for whatever reason. ))
-
((Forget it)) Zaida continued to read some books until she found one saying 'dictionary' she opened it up scanning all the words with awe and surprised of how many words there was.
-
Fout Slunk back into the shadows. And watched Geoff, looking a little mournful.
-
I finally get to the entrance, my back feeling a little better. I steach and let out a big yawn. rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
-
"I am going to go... go plan some things..."
Fout moved deep into the cave, so Geoff could not see him anymore.
((sleeping night all!! :3))
-
I look around and notice nobody was around,
"Hello?" i call out.
-
*Xiu sits near a pond while skipping some rocks*
-
((Um sorry but.. I deleted the old posts by mistake :T uh yea sorry!!))
Zaida looked at these interested but sighed setting them down, this was no place to practice. She felt these Furries were like the deer and would laugh at how she barely spoke good. She jumped to her feet hearing the 'hello' from chains as she walked out the cave. "Yes?"
The cannibal tribes nodded and laughed as they are not knowing tybalts presence due to the lack of intelligence they had... (For all of you the cannibals are the stupidest :P)
-
Geoff hung around a bit before standing up and quietly walking out of the cave. He didn't bother to say goodbye to everyone. He didn't want the attention. They probably wouldn't be concerned with his disappearance, if they even realize it. He preferred it that way.
He turned and walked into the forest far enough that the cave was hidden from view by the trees.
He sat upon a fallen tree and gazed through the gaps in the canopy at the sky. This plan was dangerous, but he felt more at ease on his own.
-
I had been wondering the forest just trying to get a feel of the land when I notice Geoff walking through the forest.
"Hey," I call out to Geoff as I run up.
-
The large horse turned to the small deer and leaned down sniffing him before snorting. Other cannibals began to gather around the deer poking him and pushing him around laughing cruelly before a large albino lion with a large black mane, his body covered in scars and blood, he had pitch black eyes with white specks looking like stars and huge wings on his back. "Me, Leader" he snarled at the deer looking down and drooling and his claws drawn.
-
Geoff jumped at Chains's voice.
"Oh... hey," he greeted softly.
-
"What you doing out here?" I ask once I had cought up with Geoff.
-
((Can't sleep x_x ))
Fout moved round in the shadows, and watched Geoff leave.
"1000, 2000, 3000, 4000...
-
"Just... wanted some space... I'm in my 'emo' mood," he joked with an awkward smile.
-
"An emo mood?" I asked, my head tilted slightly to one side.
-
"I'm being a whiner, Basically. It happens to me from time to time. It will pass."
-
"...9000 10,000" Fout, silently, and stealthily, leaves the cave. He then ducks into the undergrowth, and follows Geoff. careful to remain out of sight.
-
Zaida looked at fout from the other side of the cave. She went to speak but didn't know what to say and huffed as she saw him walking out of the cave. She held the dictionary and walked out also, hoping to be alone to practice teaching herself
The lion with the blood tribal markings stomped. "stay." He snarls more baring his teeth and his breath smelled like rotten flesh.
-
The husky grabbed his antlers shaking his head and laughing.
A grizzly approaching the deer putting a claw to his stomach as he spoke in a language to the others.
-
Fout realized Zaida probably saw him... he had lost his touch....
He noticed chains with Geoff -- "I can smell you"
Sighing, Fout paused and covered himself in mud. That should mask his scent...
-
My ears perked up,
"Did you hear that?" I asked as I looked around.
-
He blinked. "N-no. What did you hear?"
-
"I thought I heard someone was in trouble." I saw still looking around.
-
Zaida stopped hearing the roar then the scream. "...Rolo?" She said her ears leaned back.
The husky held him up.
The lion was larger than all the cannibals he was probably two times taller than tybalt. He snapped at grizzly. "Mine!" He didn't talk, his voice sounded more like roars.
-
Fout went completely still.
Fout was good at sneaking. as long as Chains was not trained or anything, it should be childs-play to avoid being seen.
Fout then heard what Chains said. Fout suddenly felt much happier. Not been heard or seen yet...
-
My ears twitched. I looked back expecting to see someone.
"Hello?"
-
FOut remained still and silent, even in the open the mud would have made him hard to see, but in the undergrowth he may as well have been invisible.
-
I walked around inspecting the area. When I hear things they are there. I had a look of concentration on my face.
-
Fout closed his eyes. with luck Chains would find a feral squirrel or bird, and assume that's what he heard...
-
Clearly whoever was hidding didn't know that a fox such as I was able to distinguish mud and a person. I reach down seeing the little part that was exposed and pulled up, revieling a fur.
"And you are?" I ask
-
Geoff watched Chains look about with nervousness. Something was apparently lurking, but he didn't hear a thing...
-
Fout jumps back, and looks up at chains. "You... you have been trained..." Fout exclaimed.
-
Geoff's eyes widened. "Fout?!"
-
"Of course i've been trained. I wouldn't be a bounty hunter if I hadn't been trained." I saw almost like it should had been common knowledge.
I look back at Geoff,
"This is Fout?" I ask pointing at the fur.
-
Zaida went to where she heard a roar slowly and steadily on top of the small and different cave and listened.
The husky dropped the deer and the lion went to reach for him but...
-
"I... I followed you... wanted to wait until you got into trouble before showing myself but... Guess I was not as good at sneaking as I thought...."
"Bounty hunter? err..." fout looked with some fear at chains, Fout probably had a small bounty on his head... he hoped Chains did not know that though.
-
"Yes, and fully trained." I saw going back and leaning against a tree. I fold my arms, and my tail swings back and forth.
-
Geoff opened his mouth to speak, but decided against it and looked down at the ground. Fout was so sure he wouldn't be able to handle things himself, he planned to spy on him until that point... He exhaled and shook his head.
-
The lion roared loudly having it echo, he pointed at the deer and the cannibals began to chase.
Zaida saw this from afar and ran along still hidden in the tree's, watching.
-
Fout looked at his own feet. "I... I just did not want... I mean..."
-
I raise and eyebrow at Fout.
"You just what?" I asked getting impationt with this fur.
-
Fout looked up at Chains, unable to form the sentence he wanted to say, instead just looking up looking nervous.
-
I finally couldn't take this anymore.
"WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME LIKE THAT?"
-
"IJUSTWANTEDTOMAKESUREGEOFFWASNOTHURTashewasnotasurvivorandIam and... and..."
Fout gulped, and started to back away from chains and towards Geoff.
-
"What, I didn't understand a word you said." I stood there, no sign that I was going to move from my spot.
-
Geoff lowered his head and hooked his thumbs in his pockets, still staring at the ground in thought. He took a breath.
"... Okay..." he spoke gently. "Okay. You can join me... If you really want to throw away comfort for my stupid ass. If that is what you want to do."
-
((I saw it the first time... Fout was just more concerned with the person yelling))
Fout nods. "Th...th.... thanks."
-
((No, I fixed up the order because it works better, lol ))
-
Zaida grabbed a bow out and began her way to where they took the deer.
The lion slammed him down and pet his fur before a claw was dragged down his back giving a small cut since he didn't press down.
-
"why are you so scared?" I ask
-
"I don't know you." Fout states "I don't know how you work."
-
"You're confusing me, you sound like i'm supposed to be after you or something!" I exclaim walking up to Fout.
-
"W... why would you be after me?" Fout stated. "I... I am like this with everyone..."
-
"No, no one is this scare." I saw still walking up.
-
Geoff growled at Chains. "Back off him. Everyone is in a tense situation right now. You know."
-
I stare at Geoff
"Pffft, hahaha." I start laughing.
"Oh, you should have seen your face." I say staring at Fout.
-
Fout sprints, and ducks behind Geoff. placing Geoff between himself, and chains.
-
"Oh lighten up, I'm not going to hurt you." I saw after getting over my laughing fit.
-
Zaida watched with concern. "Kolo... Cannibal leader" she huffed in the bushes.
Rolo (the lion) tied the deer up as the others started the fire. They began to sit around and talk about their meal, rolo finally left him in the cold to talk with the others as the fire was growing as they added more wood.
Zaida then peeked from the bushes. "Sh sh, deer" she called in a hoarse whisper.
-
Fout sighed. "Not funny." he states simply.
-
I smirk,
"Was to me." So, you are this fout that I met in the cave then?
-
Geoff straightened up with a confused expression at Chains. "What the hell was that about?"
((Also I am slow. ffs))
-
Fout nodded at Chains question, then moved back to let Geoff talk.
-
"It scares Furs when they find out that I am a bounty hunter, I just find it funny and I like to mess with furs."
I say with a chuckle.
-
I look at fout,
"sorry for scaring you like that, It was just to funny to pass up."
-
"Uh..." Geoff scratched his neck as he looked to Fout. "So, Uh..."
He exhaled irritably at his lack of words and lowered his arm.
"... I'm sorry. I've been even more of an idiot than usual, for me. I don't know if it's, like, from shock or what, but it's stupid, a-and it's an awful first impression, I know..."
-
"SO... w...w....which way are we going?"
-
Zaida peeked at the cannibals and began to sneak over. She went to tie the ropes but were to tight... "Hng..." She brought her blade out and began to cut quickly.
Rolo stood and stretched.
Zaida huffed and cut the last of the rope.
-
"So, why were you sneaking around?" I ask Fout.
-
"SO... w...w....which way are we going?"
"But I--"
Geoff paused. His eyes wandered as he tried to think about that.
"Uhhhh..." He shrugged and returned his hand to the back of his neck. "You... can decide... I guess."
-
Name: Galen Arakisk
My late introduction is approved by the original poster of this thread, Zaida.
Species:Heraldic Winged Lion
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Clothing: Grey long-sleeved shirt, Blue plaid flannel jacket, blue jeans, hiking shoes. A small bronze medallion on a woven nylon chord.
Weapons: Hatchet, Wooden recurve bow(40lb pull weight), assorted broadheads and field tips.
Home:California
Job: Shopkeep in a small town near San Francisco, California.
Personality: Stern, analytical, minorly humorous at times.
Extra: Living in a human community, it became necessary at an early age to maintain an illusion of humanity. This was achieved through the use of a medallion containing magical aspects capable of allowing a shift to human or fullform at need, with a direct correspondence between any given form and Galen's "true" body structure. The only issue relating to this near instantaneous ability to shift forms is a result of the issues associated with shifting: as human physiological resemblance increases, so does dexterity, but at the cost of some strength. He had considered attending a meeting of undisclosed importance in Liverpool, and this is the reason for his presence on the flight.
Current state: Semi-Conscious in the upper canopy of a tall tree several dozen meters from the crash site. Forehead slightly bleeding, and currently in a midform without wings.
-
Zaida's tail stopped him as she ran north taking him along she slid to a stop once they were far enough. "Kolo, don't get near... He is crazy..."
-
Zaida looked at him with a raised brow. "Why are you laughing... You almost died.." She said in a serious tone putting her bow back.
-
There was blackness. Not much else. He remembered falling, falling, falling as he was sucked through the wreckage of the plane, plummeting towards the ocean.
A slight flicker of light, the partial unfurling of wings, and a collision much lighter than water would have produced, although still painful.
At this point, however, it seemed that the most important difference between an impact with water and one with his current location was the lack of... death.
Yes, his body ached, and a warm trickle made it's way steadily down his face, but he was without major injury, a certainty felt as he slowly opened his eyes to an inverted world.
Suddenly jolting awake, he dug him claws into the branches beneath, realizing his current location high above the ground.
Looking over his shoulder, his shirt was as he expected: torn to make way for his wings, apparently revealed in his fall.
Despite this, the jacket was fine, partially knocked off his back and undamaged.
From this vantage point, he took in his current situation, looking for any signs of life, and listening for the same.
(Hello Tybalt.)
-
She leaned on the tree and huffed not talking but shook her head with disbelief, her ears laid back with frustration and she sighed and put her arrows back also.
-
Zaida snarled and stood up embarrassed to speak before turning her back and walking off leaving him behind, she saved him and he didn't even paw one bit of respect. She simply shook her head as she walked off.
-
Galen's luggage had apparently taken a similar trajectory to himself as he fell, although the impact's affect was absolute. Few things remained intact, save for the hatchet he had taken from his home for sentimental reasons, and the contents of his archery equipment case. "Definitely shock-tested" he though, constructing his bow and stowing it into it's appropriate slot in his pack, previously stored alonside his other equipment. His arrows were secured in their quiver at his back, his hatchet was holstered at his hip, and his wings were stowed again, to allow for additional maneuverability, as well as to spare his jacket the same fate as his grey shirt, now cut cleanly where his wings had been located.
Moving through the brush along the beach, he searched for anything of significance. Objects still usable, corpses, perhaps even a survivor or two. Anything to break the scene of a seamless beach scarred by a worn metal husk of a plane.
"How long was I out?" he thought.
-
*Xiu looks at tybalt*"What did you do?"
-
"No, I help and you give no respect..." The sergal huffed. "I give shelter, food, warnings, and help..." She said a bit angered.
-
I look to Geoff,
"Not sure where to go. I was just wandering, getting a fell of the area.
-
*Xiu shakes his head slowly*
-
Taking a moment to think, Galen shifted to his fullform, all items capable of damage by his increasing size being stowed in a blaze of light which flickered over his body.
"Never done this before, but hey, worth a try right?", he though, as he released as loud of a roar as he could.
It was not exactly ear-splitting in volume, but it was very well close to that.
He shifted back to his midform before fyling to the branches above, in wait of any person, hostile or not.
"Now we see who comes running."
-
"I don't know, I just want to go to cave, I need rest. In morning I travel to new shelter." she sat on a rock looking at the small stream, dipping her feet in, her ears twitching from the roar, although it sounded like Rolo.
-
*Xiu walks down the path after hearing the roar*
-
She looked at Xiu. "No I'm going with other deer, if it is Rolo, I kill him with no mercy" she stood following the saki deer to where the roar was drawing her bow in hopes it would lead to Rolo.
-
"Who is this rolo you speak of..."*he thinks of the candy but shakes his head and his ears perk*
-
((It seems Angder went to bed, and I suppose I should get some sleep too. Night guys. :3 ))
-
Galen took the time to arrange his arrows as needed, with a broadhead nocked in his pale bow, and three more in hand for a quick draw if necessary.
He heard a voice in the distance, but in all likelihood it could have simply been a construct of his mind, skewed by the pain in his skull resulting from his crash.
Tightening his grip, he waited, sure to be still and concealed in the event that any contacts were less than friendly in their intents.
-
"Cannibal leader. White lion with a shadow mane, with wings, but a small tail, and stars float in eyes." She says "and he is very tall and red stains him"
-
"Oh,alright..."*he walks down the path,his katana drawn*
-
"Well whoever is coming down toward me is definitely not my imagination." said Galen. Through a hole in the foliage, he saw a glimpse of movement.
Two figures, humanoid... but not human.
"What the hell are those..." he thought, bringing his bow to bare as they neared the closest clearing, distanced about ten meters from the tree he currently resided in.
It would be a few moments until he could see them clearly.
And then, he saw a third figure, much less quiet in his stride, and definitely less quiet as he shouted his remark to the forest, and to Galen.
"Who are you?!" Galen exclaimed, with the certainty that they would not discover his exact location in the moments before he could designate ally from target.
-
"Foolish you canno-" she looked at the lion rolling behind a tree and aiming the bow before realizing it wasn't Rolo. "I am Zaida" she replied putting her arrows and bow back and standing straighten held a serious face.
-
"So... I'm guessing you are one of the survivors right? Ok then... now WHAT are you and your friends?"
His bow lowered as he spoke, but the arrow remained nocked, and his eye remained on the three people below.
-
"I live here, disowned tribal" she explains, gesturing at the two deer's both having different characteristics. "They fell from sky in large plane, however I do not know them well"
-
*he looks at tybalt*"i dont think we can escape,besides what species of deer are you?"
-
Zaida ears fall back down and she huffed turning to a tree leaning against it and her head low with embarrassment but mostly frustration. Her foot tapping tapping the floor.
-
"Yeah" said Galen, stowing his weapon and arrows. "I woke up in a damn tree not too long ago. How long has it been since the crash?"
He revealed his wings to descend to ground level a few feet from the group, only folding them for the time being.
-
I walk through the trees, hearing people talking. I see Zaida, xiu and Tybalt talking with someone.
"Zaida, so good to see you." I call out as I walk up to the group.
-
"A day...and a half"
-
Zaida heard chains but looked up not answering before looking back down at her blade that she sharpened, her tail sway slowly as the two deer's spoke with the new comer.
-
"Oh. Well that makes things a bit more odd."
Looking at the person arriving behind the trio, Galen said to the newcomer "And you are?" As he stepped forward to meet the three more formally.
-
"Ah, the names Mark, Mark parkson; but, it seems that people like to call me Chains." I say to this weired winged deer thing.
"Your name is?"
-
"Galen Arakisk. Nice to meet ya" He said, extending a hand towards Mark.
-
I grasp Galen's hand and shake.
"nice to meet you Galen."
-
"Agreed*he smiles at tybalt*
-
Zaida watched all the Furries. She then walked past some trees and rocks before resting upon a rock looking at the sky filled with stars, her ears twitching from them speaking.
-
"Well, I've only got what you see with me. Mind if I join you with whatever you've established? You've found some form of shelter I'd imagine, right?" Galen asked, with a slight hint of apprehension as to the possible answer. He passively crossed his hands behind his back, flexing the claws in each finger and thumb to a subconscious rythm.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be all for the night. Props to all who attended and participated. Hope things go well for everyone tomorrow. Best of luck to all.)
-
Zaida stood hearing this. "Yes a cave, but I leave tomorrow for better shelter..." She says to the winged lion.
-
I look to Zaida,
"we're leaving the cave?"
-
Ray had fallen asleep beneath the canopy just shy of the shoreline. After a few hours of rest, he awoke, groaning.
-
(Guess not quite yet.)
"That will work. I will accompany you if that's alright. Afterwards, I'm probably gonna go off hunting. Apparently, a day-and-a-half of being knocked out by a tree does quite the number on a person's stomach."
-
"I am, going to seek for safer area's" she simply replied to chains. "You cannot stay one place for long unless it's safe, cave is not that safe..."
-
"Ah, I see." I replied to Zaida.
I noticed Tybalt backing into the wildlife. I decided to follow. I saw him sitting on the beach.
I sat down next to him.
"The waves are always so nice to watch." I saw as I examine my sandy boots.
-
*he sighs*"and what other places would there be?
-
Zaida stays silent and gives a long sigh through her nose before shrugging and looking on her map that wasn't fully made yet not even a quarter of it was covered.
-
Ray groaned, and stood. "Ugh...sound off if you're alive..." He looked around, and started down the beach, looking for any survivors. Ray kept a paw on his Chief's Special, just in case.
-
"to tell you the truth, I haven't thought about getting off this island yet. It is true that I want to get off, I was on a trip when the plan crashed and now I just need to get back to my brotheres." I reply to the deers question, digging into the sand and pouring it into my paws.
-
Turning to the tribal, Galen inquired "Mind telling me where your temporary shelter is at the moment? I don't think we will be making much headway at this time of night. And honestly, I think I could use some rest... preferably not in a tree this time."
-
She looked up and gestures to the cave just north. At first she pointed to the mountain but hidden in the rock walls was a cave.
-
"This place is not that dangoruos if you know how to survive. Everything is so piecefull." I say with my eyes closed, letting the wind blow into my face.
-
Ray heard talking, and backtracked towards the others. He looked around, and whistled quietly.
-
*he looks at where zaida pointed*"woah"
-
the cave was a good place. Although she didn't travel the rest of the island, she wanted a bigger and safer shelter but the cave would do. She entered tossed her things down and sat on some animal pelts and started the fire curling her tail around herself and murring as she was warm.
-
I look at tybalt.
"What do you mean?"
-
Silently opening his slightly-disheveled wings, he flew up to the caves, looking around for a relatively clear spot, and deposited his belonging nearby, before shifting to a fullform and lying down with a definite "thump". "By the way", Galen asked the strange creature in the caves alongside him "What are you exactly? What is your name? I don't think we were properly introduced at any point beforehand."
-
Reaching an arm i start rubbing Tybalt back in a conforting way.
"Hey, whatever is bothering you, you can talk to me about."
-
the cave was a good place. Although she didn't travel the rest of the island, she wanted a bigger and safer shelter but the cave would do. She entered tossed her things down and sat on some animal pelts and started the fire curling her tail around herself and murring as she was warm.
*Xui sighs and sits near the fire*
-
She stops murring and her head lifts from resting on her tail that wrapped around her, her glowing eyes having smoke escape them, looking at the winged lion until speaking. "Sergal, and I am Zaida" she spoke softly.
-
Ray sighed. "I didn't want to do this." He drew his revolver, and fired into the air, once. The report echoed through the air, upsetting a few birds nearby.
-
"Oh" he says, eyes barely open, "Well, nice to meet ya Zaida."
Immediately following this, Galen succumbed to sleep, resting his head of the stone floor in total exhaustion following the events of the past days of chaos and near-death.
He dreamt of nothing at all, his sleep consuming his mind and replacing thought with the perfect calm of rest.
The gunshot, far off by the island's rolling shores, was barely acknowledged by his deadened mind.
(Good night, legitimately this time. Best of luck.)
-
"Feeling better," I ask Tybalt.
-
Zaida jumped from the gunshot, hearing the noise before she wanted to go explore but these new Furries were in her den. She just watched Galen pass out she made her tail curl around her before murring with pleasure as she was warm.
-
*he looks up*
-
Hearing the gun, I quickly follow. A gun fire always means someone is in trouble.
-
Zaida just laid on the pelts not minding the gunshot. She looked at the map and thought about the rest of the island, what animals, tribes, or different terrains she would cross. For now she pulled out the dictionary and began studying the words hating the way she was teased.
-
"Are you okay?"
-
She looked at the saki deer "yes...I am fine... why do you ask?" She says in her accent before looking back at the book and scanning pages.
-
I had lost the deer a while ago, but I kept running untill I found a beach with a lone fur in.
"Hey, you need help?" I call out.
-
*he sighs*"nevermind"
-
She looked at him setting it down. "Please tell" she asked the saki deer with curiosity.
-
"since that deer made fun of youre speech i asked if you were still upset about it"
-
"SO... w...w....which way are we going?"
"But I--"
Geoff paused. His eyes wandered as he tried to think about that.
"Uhhhh..." He shrugged and returned his hand to the back of his neck. "You... can decide... I guess."
((Sorry if I vanished suddenly last night... is it bad I don't really remember leaving D: ))
Fout points roughly north "Thatway" He said, as if it was one word.
-
((It's alright. You must have been awfully tired. XD ))
And so Fout and Geoff began their journey north...
-
Fout Moved slightly ahead of Geoff, keeping to the undergrowth, but popping out about once a minute to make sure Geoff knew he was there...
-
Geoff silently kept up with Fout, still feeling awful about everything. He was being a child back in the cave, letting all his stress boil over like that. Three years an adult, and he still hadn't grown up. It was no wonder why Fout had no confidence in him...
-
((Gah, I feel bad for Geoff now... D: ))
((Also I have no idea what to do from here, so I am going to wait for now))
-
((Yeah. I'mma go get something to eat, and we can skip ahead a bit to where there may be something of interest. ))
((I'm back.))
-
Fout and Geoff find themselves not far from the beach. Fout drops down from a tree near Geoff. "Ship" Fout states. "Old, but it looks mostly intact... its on the beach. Shall we go and investigate?"
-
"Sure," Geoff told him, "I think anything useful might be taken by now, though."
-
*sorrow bored of the cave exits to look around*
-
Zaida shakes her head at Xiu "I am fine" she reassures in a light voice laying in the soft pelts.
-
Fout led Geoff to the edge of the trees, a large wooden ship was sprawled across the beach, on its side. it was obviously fairly old, yet was also, as Fout said, mostly intact. from here, it almost looked like it would still float...
"Something that big... might be inhabited..." Fout said. he then crept out towards it, the deck was facing towards them, Fout was heading for the back of the ship.
-
Geoff quietly followed Fout a bit, keeping his distance in case he found any aggressors. He trusted Fout was better prepared for such an encounter than he was.
He then remembered... He dug into his pocket and fished out a pocket knife. He found it laying around a couple weeks before the plane trip, and he completely forgot he brought it with. It's a surprise he wasn't caught when he got on the plane. But it was definitely useful in this situation, so he was thankful for that.
-
((Gah, sorry for the delay))
Fout got about half way to the ship, then broke into a run, he could not see anyone, but that did not mean they were not there... and at this point if they were there, he would not necessarily be able to run the other way...
-
Alerted by Fout's sudden run toward the ship, Geoff flipped out the blade and charged along with him.
-
Fout arrived at the back of the ship, and moved round to look into the back, there was a large broken window into where the captain would have been, Fout walks climbs though the hole...
The inside of the ship was a mess. broken glass, broken furniture, and someone had clearly looted the place thoroughly. "No sign of anyone else..."
-
Geoff climbed in as well and looked around.
"Looks like it's been cleared out."
-
"I am going to head for the cargo hold... something might have been left by accident..."
-
"Good idea," Geoff said.
He sort-of followed Fout, but wandered a bit while distracted by random thoughts, gazing about the old ship and twirling the knife in his hand. He liked that knife. He originally kept it because it looked cool, but now he could use it as a tool. Or a weapon. He hoped it would never come to that point, but if the native sergal's words were true...
-
I was wondering the beach when I came across a ship. For some reason, I thought I saw someone on it.
"Hello!" I call out.
-
*Xiu wakes up and yawns*
-
I enter the wooden boat, looking around.
"Hello," I call out again. I could have sworn I saw someone on this boat.
-
Zaida in the cave stood up gathering some items she would need to go on. She looked on the map curious and determined.
-
Fout heard the voice outside. "Someone has seen us... we should hide..."
-
I sniffed the air. There was easilly two people on the ship.
I start looking around.
"Hello, you can come out."
My chain was rattling and my boots thumping against the wood with each carfull step.
-
Geoff tensed up for a moment when he heard the voice calling within the ship. Because he was too stuck in his head, he didn't register it as a word, but he knew it was someone who got inside. He stayed close to Fout, listening to the footsteps, his knife held ready to strike if needed.
-
The smell was taking me to the cargo.
Hunter instinces were kicking in now. I kneeled down low my steps quiting with each step till they were unheard. I pull out my revolves from my holsters. Sneacking around I was prepared for an attack.
-
Suddenly, Fout seems to vanish. one moment they were both behind a crate, the next moment Fout was gone...
...
Fout sat with his claws digging into the wall which currently doubled as a ceiling due to the boat being on its side, he sat above the doorway he had climbed through. and waited for the person to emerge. the voice sounded familiar... but Fout did not have time to work out where he had heard it before.
-
My ears would twitch, searching for any noices. I pulled back the hammer on my 2 revolves.
-
Geoff was unaware Fout vanished for a minute. Once he realized, his eyes grew wide, but he stayed put. If he went to find him again, the intruder might catch him.
-
Zaida had gotten everything. "They will be fine..." She told herself in almost perfectly only thing was her accent. She exits the cave starting north knowing soon a tribe would come here to investigate. "Farewell" she says to galen and Xiu.
((In a few hours I'll be off for the rest of school due to block schedule, just to let you all know ahead of time))
-
As Chains steps into the Cargo hold, Fout drops down on him. and immediately grabs him by the throat with his claws.
((Thanks for the warning Zaida. :3))
-
With a yelp, I feel the claws sink into my throat. I take a hold of the guy on me and through him off me. Blood seeping from the claw wound.
-
Geoff jumped at the sound and ran over, blade ready... then lowered it when he realized who it was.
He yelped at Fout. "It's Chains!"
-
Fout lands cleanly on his feet, and looks up. "oh... oh.. oh oh god..."
Fout looks at his bloodied claws. "I meant to grab you, I did not mean to cut you... I... I... I did not cut deep did I?"
-
Rubbing my neck, the cuts were already scabbing over.
"I should be fine."
-
Geoff folded his knife and stuck it in his pocket. "S-sorry. We didn't know..."
-
"It's alright." I said picking up my revolvers that had fallen to the floor and put them away.
"So, why you here?"
-
"Looting," Geoff told him. "Looks like someone already did, though..."
-
"I see," I say nodding.
-
Zaida hiked through the jungle carefully, her eyes peeled and her ears standing to listen to her surroundings.
-
"I wondered if anything valuable was left behind... so far we have found nothing..."
-
Geoff sighed. "... So, what's next on the list?"
-
Fout shrugged. "We keep looking, we have not searched this place fully yet..."
-
"That's true..." He shrugged. "I doubt we'll find anything, but we're not in any rush, eh."
-
Fout finds an open crate... inside is a whole selection of wooden cogs, pulleys, low tech machinery. Fout looks up. "Trip was worth it... Found some stuff we could use... just not sure for what. Electricity may not work, but basic physics will."
-
"Awesome," he smiled.
Geoff walked up to another crate, but stopped as felt he stepped on something small. He lifted his foot and peered down. It was a ring, silver in appearance, with a black band all the way around. He plucked it up and gave it a quick look.
"Neat."
He stuck it in his pocket.
-
Fout Found a small and empty crate (It smelled of rotten bread) And packed as much of the wooden machinery into it as possible.
"Ok... unless there is anything else to find... I guess we need to leave and make camp somewhere... semi-Permanent or temporary though..."
-
"Alright," he said. "Where do you think is best?"
-
"I shall follow you."
-
"Somewhere near water, but not on top of it... somewhere with easy access to food..." Fout stopped and thought.
"OK... this way..."
Fout left the ship the way he came, and moved towards the trees
-
Geoff followed Fout.
"What could the gears and stuff be used for?"
-
Zaida was on a mountain just by a lake. She stopped and sat against the tree and began to add to her map as she had a good view.
-
"Originally who knows... now?"
Fout looked back a huge smile on his face. "Who knows?"
He moved with some speed, and then abruptly stopped.
"Anyone got an axe? this would be a good spot if we can clear the trees and we will need the wood anyway..."
-
Geoff shook his head. "Nope. All I have is my knife."
-
”I could use this." I say unravling my chain.
-
Ray sighed, and held the revolver aloft. "Four left." He fired again, and sighed. "Three left. Wish I had my luggage." The report again echoed through the island, disrupting birds and small wildlife.
-
"Yes... a chain c~"
Fout Jumped as a shot fired from somewhere...
"GAH! what the hell..."
-
My ears flatten and I squizz my eyes shut. The loud bang making my ears ring a little.
-
Zardoff sat at the temple, furious of the shots. He gave a aloud blood curtailing roar that echoed throughout the whole island, showing he was dominant
Zaida hearing this snarled knowing this roar she just continued to draw, gladly he was not close if he was the roar would hurt.
-
Geoff jolted at the roar.
"N-nn-what was that?!"
-
taking my gun I fire up into the air.
-
Geoff jolted again at Chains's gunshot.
"W-What the hell are you doing?!"
-
"somebody is obviously calling for others." I say putting my gun away.
-
Zardoff gave a louder and booming roar making earbuds ring like a gunshot would do, furious he hissed at a few warriors, having them March to the shot
Small and or large predators ran through the jungle hearing the loud noises and began to lurk for the source hoping for food.
Zaida finishing more of the map stood at the second shot. "They are not wise"
-
"Or they're hunting something big. Did you hear that roaring?"
Geoff looked pretty worried about that.
At the second roar, his face changed to actually terrified.
-
"idiot! we can't just tell them we are here... we don't know who they are!" Fout glances around in a panic
"And they have a gun!"
-
"don't worry, I heard the same gun fire last night, There was this guy on the beach, he looked harmless." I say not worried in the slightest.
-
"Did you guys EVEN hear the roaring?!"
-
"What roaring," I ask digging into my ears. they were still ringing a little bit.
-
"I heard it..." Fout said. "I hope what we heard was the gun guy hunting it, otherwise..."
-
"I hope so. Whatever made that would tear us apart if it found us, no doubt."
Geoff was starting to regret leaving the cave.
-
The dark grey sergal stood seven feet his face determined as a few warriors marched, marking and scars on the sergals chiseled body, some high ranked warriors having the same markings, but a few low rank warriors, usually teens or young adults. Zardoff was sure it wasn't a big threat.
Zaida got up and began to travel to the noises, but kept quiet and made sure she wouldn't startled who shot.
-
Ray sighed. "At least I got something's attention." He checked the revolver, and sighed. "Now what?"
-
I turn to Fout,
"So what were you saying about my chain?"
-
Fout moved to a tree, and started to climb. "I am going to take a look around, see if anything is coming our way..."
"You, could use it to down trees... just not this one. as I am in it."
-
I walk up to a tree and wrap my chain around it and start moving in back and forth. slowly the links were cutting into the tree.
-
"TIMBER!" I exclaim as the first tree falls and hits the ground.
-
Zaida walked down, she spotted the raccoon and tilted her head. Approaching him slowly but held her jagged machete in case. "Why are you shooting?" She said in her strong accent
The low ranks and they marched to the noise, growing closer to the three Furries.
-
Fout saw them coming. He climbs down with some speed. "We have company. we need to run."
-
Ray shrugged. "Just wanted to know if I was alone." He offered a paw. "Name's Ray."
-
Looking up I start following Fout.
-
Zaida put the machete away. "You may be endanger due to the loud noise..." She warned.
A few warriors spotted fout and began to roar, hiss, and such before running toward the direction they saw him in.
-
"O-oh no..."
Trying to keep his panic under control, he followed his group.
-
Ray shrugged. "I suppose. You got any ideas?"
-
as I walked I had my chian ready in case we had to fight.
-
Fout ran as fast as he could, he did not have time to hide, so he fled, hoping the other two could keep pace and the people attacking them could not.
-
I saw Fout run past me. I started run to keep up, jumping over roots and fallen trees as we ran.
-
Geoff tried as hard as he could to keep up with Fout, dodging obstacles and gripping his knife tight to avoid dropping it. He might need it now more than ever.
-
The warriors yelled as the charged, shields forward and weapons high in the air.
"We must go before they find you..." She simply states.
Zardoffs ears lay back listening to their roars determined to receive the Furries.
((Well got to go for a bit, I'll be back in two hours just for a bit until lunch ends sorry about this))
-
I take one of my guns and aim it behind me. I fire at one of natives chasing us.
-
((We will probably need to wait for you then, its fine. at least you warned us! :3 ))
-
(Dang, i have leave for work in half an hour. wont be back till 5 hours form now.)
-
((That is 11 PM here... I will be on then.))
-
(Where are you Angder, Here it is 10 am)
-
((our characters can find a place to hide, then wait until she comes back))
-
I spot a little cave in the distance.
"There do you see that cave over there?" I ask
"We can hide there. they seem to be far and can't see us right now.
-
"Lets hope they are afraid of the dark..."
Fout runs for the cave, now everyone knows where they weere going he disappeared into the undergrowth, becoming practically invisible to the casual observer.
-
I run after Fout, entering the cave and hiding within the darkness.
(Got to leave for work now)
-
Fout climbs up onto a high ledge. just inside the cave. "Big place..."
((I have food. (typical) so I will need to leave for 20 mins, and by then chains will have left so... I guess we are waiting for Chains and Zaida after all :L ))
-
Geoff continued running to the cave when he tripped on a large stick. He was able to keep on his feet, but his knife went flying from his hand. He instinctively managed to leap and grab his knife on the blade end with his other hand, and kept on running until he got inside the cave.
Geoff collapsed on the cave floor, panting heavily. The red-edged knife clattered to the ground.
He stared at his hand, a trail of blood dripping from his cut palm.
He didn't feel it much at the moment, but he clenched his teeth as he knew it would sting later.
"F-f-ffuh..."
((I'll be back as well. ))
((I'm back. ))
-
((Back since its lunch :T then back to class for two more hours, bleh should have bring my tablet))
Zaida heard the roars and pulled her machete out and crouching low.
The Warriors clash the weapons on their shields searching and sniffing the air and tree's for their scent
-
Fout moves over to Geoff. "You... you OK?" He whispers. "Stay quiet... here... I found a place to hide..." Fout leads Geoff to the ledge. "Do you think you can climb up?"
-
He pocketed his knife and followed.
"I... I'll try..."
He attempted to climb up while trying to keep his injured palm from touching the rock. It doesn't quite work out.
"Ssssh--..."
He frowned as he looked up at the ledge. He tried again, and just managed to pull himself up.
-
Fout does his best to help, and grins as he manages to climb up "OK now we stay quiet... and wait for them to stop searching, or to find us..." Fout looks at Geoff "Hopefully the former"
-
Some grabbed wood and lit them with fire. The spread out, one beginning to get close.
Zaida seeing this from afar knew the raccoon would be silent. She pulled a bow out and a venom covered arrow. Aim at the one that grew near to the cave before shooting to his neck having him fall to the floor and slowly dying. (*sigh* got to go another two hour, see us)
-
((Ok, see you later Zaida! :3 ))
-
Geoff nodded. Unthinking, he brushed his injured palm against his thigh. He winced and peered at the bloodstain left behind on his jeans, whispering a swear.
-
((I would rather wait from here, we are missing two or three people who are involved))
-
((Yeah. *patient bear is patient* ))
-
((Back))
Zaida watched and hid behind a tree.
The Warriors smelling nothing growled, and huffed in disappointment, it was already noon and they did not enjoy searching. Not realizing one was missing they began to march off afraid what Emperor zardoff's reaction would be.
-
(Likewise)
With a slight huff and a groan, Galen opened his eyes and brought them to bear on the cave around him, which was dark with the remnants of a fire, and seemingly devoid on motion, at least as far as his sleep-filled eyes could discern in the darkness.
"Well, something happened. Guess I might as well try to *yawn* find the others. No doubt they're somewhere around here. Hopefully."
With the dim light of his shift to midform being the only illumination in the cave, he acquired his equipment, and made his way to the mouth of the cave, looking from the entrance for some form of commotion which might tell him where to head towards.
-
Fout hears the tribesmen moving away. "That was easy." He said, quietly.
-
Zaida seeing them leave huffed. "They can take care of themselves, they left to survive on on... They will learn" she reminded herself looking at them, looking at the raccoon she pushed him forward. "Go with them, I alone" she started to hike away but made sure to follow the tribals.
A pack of ahuizotls grew close to the caves. They are a dog-like creature they walked on all fours and were the height of 3 feet, with hands capable of manipulation and an additional hand on its tail. The ahuizotl is feared due to its liking for furry flesh, especially nails, eyes, and teeth. It was said to live in or near the water and uses the hand on its tail to snatch its prey. However as they grew close they began to make gurgle noises.
-
There was a sound near the edge of the cave. At first, Galen was unable to properly guess as to what it was, but even as it grew close enough for his augmented hearing to properly detect it, he still didn't have any idea as to what it was. The first thing he saw was its muzzle, distinctly canine. That was where the resemblances ended. The creature, or rather creatures as he saw soon after, was an anatomical nightmare. The biggest concern, however, was not its appearance, but rather its likely intent. The growling definitely hinted to that. Realizing the limits of his current armaments, Galen's hand flew to his hatchet, bringing it up to strike at the first agressor as soon as it got within a proper impact range. The claws in his empty left hand extended, one from each finger and the thumb.
As they neared, he prepared to participate in his first instance of combat with the wild.
-
Geoff smiled and nodded, then eyed his cut palm with some concern, hoping it won't get infected. It was painful, but wasn't big enough to be a problem. He'll just try to avoid using his hand for a little bit until it healed enough. It was his non-dominant left one, luckily.
And remembering how he caught the knife made it worth it. It was pretty badass, actually. He grinned.
-
((Are the creatures outside our caves as well Zaida?))
Fout glanced around. "Is Chains still with us?"
-
((Yes they follow any noise or scent))
The ahuizotl's entered the cave using their tails to toss and break things that weren't edible, they acted like hyena's. If one had food the rest fought for it showing they weren't the best predators around... The leader with slick silver fur and was just a feet taller stopped in place looking at the hatchet the reflected some light, the alpha put his head low and bared his teeth with a low gurgle growl as the others sniffed around him and snarled along.
-
The first of the pale, contorted animals lunged at Galen. Ducking quickly to the side to avoid the bite directed at his face, he raked his claws along the side of the creature until they dug deep enough to halt its movement through the air. With a swift and decisive movement, the hatchet was brought down into its neck with a crack, followed by a sudden limpness in the animal. Before the other three could strike out at Galen, he shifted his wings into existence and rose beyond the reach of the strange monstrosities, barely escaping the snapping jaws of one which leapt up at him.
Preferring not to waste his energy or arrows on the remaining members of the pack, he flew off towards the beach, hoping to see if anyone might have gone back to salvage anything useful from the plane's wreckage.
The warm, thickening blood on his left hand dripped into the forest below as he flew.
-
((Yes they follow any noise or scent))

*Xiu sits near the pound*
-
The others at a different cave sniffed and gurgled smelling them close.
Zaida on a mountain looked down at where once was, just rested a bit from running.
The low rank warriors arrived back. Zardoff looked noticing immediately one was missing making him hiss with anger and slash at the low ranks making a loud blood curtailing roar at them. He huffed sitting back down and shunning, having them walk off and let him think to himself.
-
Geoff heard the gurgling and worriedly looked at Fout.
-
((No chains. :I shall we wait Evna?))
Fout saw the creatures entering. "umm... Are you seeing these... What even are they..." Fout backed away, hoping they would not smell them as they were up on the ledge.
-
((I don't know. I'm pretty sure I saw him looking at the thread a bit ago.))
Geoff also backed away.
-
((I can't afford another night like last night, so if we wait it will be tomorrow morning for me))
Fout backed up against the wall, and tried to make himself invisible in the shadows
-
(What I miss?)
-
Galen landed at the beach's smooth shores with a cloud of dust engulfing him. He foled his wings for the moment, his jacket currently stowed in a compartment of his pack. Looking around the beach, he saw little, minus the hull of a capsized ship off in the distance. He made his way towards it, washing his bloodstained hand in the ocean's salty waters, and then moving to walk in the dirt dividing the forest from the sand in order to keep his shoes relatively empty of debris and sediment. He heard the rumbling of his stomach, and made a resolution to possibly try his hand at hunting after he had inspected his destination a bit.
-
((You didn't miss much, Chains. We're still in the cave. The warriors left, but now the cave is being invaded by monster dog things. ))
-
Ray crouched low, and slipped silently through the jungle. He'd picked up some of what he liked to call "ninja-level sneaky skills" from following his manager around the store. Ray kept the revolver close, hoping he wouldn't have to use it.
-
One swayed itself before charging and grabbed Geoff's wrist and threw him towards the end of the cave and the dogs gurgled and barked.
-
((A random cave, north of Zaida's, near a shipwreck on the beach.))
Fout Leaped at the thing while it was distracted by Geoff, and tried to cut its throat with his claws.
-
*Xiu approaches the cave*
-
I look around and listen. I could hear growling.
"What is that?" I ask.
-
((Ray's sneaking through the jungle.))
Ray's ear twitched, and he turned to see a figure on the shoreline. Not recognizing them, he stopped just shy of where the jungle stopped, and watched.
-
((Wait, how did it get us when we're on the ledge? did I miss something? X_x))
Geoff roared as he flew to the ground. He quickly pulled out his knife and flipped it open, then jumped to his feet, staring terrified at the creatures.
-
The dogs yelped but his tail hand grabbed four trying to pry him off.
The others cornered Geoff, snarling and drooling.
Zaida heard many noises, she didn't like to think they were endanger. Along with Rolo's tribe on the other side it would be a big risk for her and the survivors (sorry it deleted for some reason :S)
-
Fout noticed the hand, and rolled off the creature, he then stabs it in the stomach.
Fout notices the things claws on its feet he hopes to whatever was watching over him that the stomach wound is enough to kill the creature
((I assumed it jumped as part of the charge))
-
Geoff backed up against the cave wall, shakily holding out his knife at the creatures, sure he was doomed.
-
The dog screeched falling over and struggled with the blade in its stomach, it pulled it out with its tail but began to bleed more of its green blood. It stumbled about before falling hopelessly and going limp.
The two dogs near Geoff turned to the other dying, being scavengers they ran over beginning to tear their own kind apart.
Zaida just sat and thought to herself struggling with her decisions.
-
*Xiu draws his sword*
-
Fout snuck up behind the creatures surrounding Geoff, and sticks his knife in the nearest ones spine, killing it instantly.
-
Seeing the creatures distracted, Geoff tightened his grip on the knife, clenched his teeth, and charged at one of the creatures, stabbing it in the throat.
((Wait, did I derp? ))
-
The last barked when hit in the throat and snapped nearly hit his face but grew weak and stumbled off but fell to the floor just outside the cave whimpering until going limp also.
-
Making his way to the base of the ship's overturned hull, he entered shortly, but found little if the way of usable materials. He exited, wondering if the others had succembed to whatever twisted wildlife made its home on this island. He flew up above the canopy of the trees, looking for some sign of life, preferrably one of the survivors he had met the day prior.
-
"Well... I think we just found lunch." Fout said. grinning. "You OK?"
-
"L-lunch?" Geoff gave Fout a confused look.
-
Fout prodded the nearest (dead) creature. "Would be enough to feed us for some time... but we lack a way to preserve the meat" Fout said, sadly.
-
" I really don't think those things are edible..."
-
"No reason not to try..."
Fout pops out of the cave, and comes back with some firewood. "Besides, we will want to skin them anyway..."
-
Ray followed Tybalt, quietly. He kept the revolver by his side as he moved.
-
Geoff shrugged. "W-well, I suppose skinning them is good, but I wouldn't trust their meat. They look... unclean. They were eating their dead friend. You saw that, right?"
-
"We have no reliable food source... missing a meal now could kill you..." Fout gets to work making the fire
-
"So what were those?" I ask walking out of the cave.
-
Galen heard a faint voice from the ship he had just left from. Looking back, he say two figures standing on the beach. Halting and the reversing his flight, he made his way in the direction of the ship, hoping that the two unidentified figures would be useful, in one way or another.
-
He giggled and and shit his eyes in glee, oblivious to what was around him.
(( D: D: that sounds... EUARGGG))
FOut looked up at chains. "he... hey! there you are..."
-
"I understand that, but what if it makes us sick? That could kill us..." Geoff grunted. "There's this place that native girl showed me. It has lots of edible fish. We could survive on that if I could remember where it is..."
-
"Lets just say, never leap into a dark cave. never know if you will hit your hear or not." I say rubbing my head.
-
Ray approached Tybalt, and whispered. "Hey. You alright?"
-
Because of his haste, the impact with the earth along the beach's eadge was less than gentle.
He made his way to the two figures by the ship with a brisk stride.
"Hey! You two!"
-
I look around,
"So, what happened here?" I ask looking at all the carnage.
-
"I am used to the dark... I rarely hit my head because I know how not to hit it..."
The fire fout is working on roars into life. "Pass me a corpse someone..."
"We killed these creatures after they attacked us, the tribesmen seem to have abandoned their search."
-
(( is Fout ignoring Geoff? ))
-
"HM, I see. Are they edible?" I ask poking at a dead carcase.
-
((Oh, missed your post, :$ for purpose of convenience lets just say he is/was))
-
Ray blinked, and brandished the revolver at Galen. "Who are you!? Where'd you come from?!"
-
"I doubt it," Geoff told Chains irritably. "They're cannibals, apparently. Likely scavengers. I'm pretty sure those aren't good for eating..."
-
Turning around to see what looked like a racoon. Holding a revolver. Pointed at his midsection.
"Um... the U.S.? Is that an acceptable response? One which won't lead to my death my lead poisoning?"
-
Ray shook his head, but lowered the revolver. "Not what I was looking for, but you're not trying to kill me."
-
Galen responded briskly saying "Apologies but I don't make the most accurate statements when a firearm is pointed in my direction. You are?"
-
Fout sighed. "I have eaten out of trashcans and survived. this can't be worse than that."
-
Ray sighed "Ray Blackburn. Sorry for being so jumpy."
-
"You've ate out of trashcans" I ask a little disgusted.
-
Zaida huffed going back down where she was, avoiding Rolo's tribe. She also didn't enjoy being alone or the others. She wanted to help but most left. She though as she was heading towards the pound.
-
Ray brandished the revolver at Tybalt, but quickly lowered the gun. "Mother...scared the heck outta me."
-
"Nice to meet ya Ray. So, why are you here? Not here on the island, I think we are all victims of the same incident. Why are you here at this ship?"
-
Ray chuckled. "Funny." He put the revolver back into his pocket. "But, no. I'm not going to give you my gun." Ray looked back to Galen. "I was following him." He motioned at Tybalt.
-
Fput sighed. "I am a survivor. I have survived a lot."
-
Galen looked at the two with a slight hint of humor, followed by a serious inquiry.
"So Ray... where are you, or hopefully WE, heading from here then? There's not much in the way of salvagable materials in that wreckage, at least from what I saw of it."
-
Ray nodded. "Not for too long, but yes."
-
Geoff lowered his head and shrugged. "Well... Okay... if you think it'll be fine..."
-
FOut finally finishes skinning and cooking the creature, he takes a few bites of the thing. (it tastes foul, but not as foul as Geoff thought.) and then looks around the cave. "This would make a pretty good camp..."
-
Ray raised an eyebrow. "Need to pee or something?"
-
Ray sighed. "I think we're stuck. We don't have the strength to move this hunk."
-
"Oh really?! I think we should head off into the forest and find the other survivors. There's at least one or two people on this island who would be willing to help us. Our best hope of getting home is not to leave ourselves, but to wait for rescue. A plane doesn't drop off the map without raising an alarm. But it will take time for them to get here. We need to dig in. And we will need more people to help if we want to do that."
-
I take a bite out of the creature.
"Not the best I've had but it'll do."
-
Ray chuckled. "With three bullets? I don't think so."
-
Galen produced a look of surprise.
"How did you end up with a firearm and no reserve ammunition? Also, how did you get a gun on the plane to begin with?!"
-
Geoff, despite being pretty hungry, still didn't trust the meat of the creature and passed on it. It was no big deal to him. He sat against the wall and tried to search his brain for the location of that pond Zaida took him to. Once he remembers, they could keep themselves fed for a long time.
-
Ray looked at Galen. "I had my ways, and I did have extra ammo, I didn't have it on me."
-
I look to Geoff
"Why aren't you eating?" I ask with a mouthful of meat.
-
Fout Yawns. "Might get some sleep... someone will need to keep watch. but we can do that." Fout curls up on the floor. "I think this shall be our base for now..."
-
"Well, seems like I got a bit luckier than you. Or maybe my luggage had better insulation against impact, because as luck would have it I've got a bow, my broadheads, and the capability to use them. It's not a gun, but hey, I've got more than three shots."
-
Ray nodded. "Yeah, I should've kept 'em on me." He sighed. "Oh well...wonder what the boat's got in it."
-
I look around,
"I agree this could be our base for now."
-
"Eh, I just don't want any," Geoff said to Chains.
"Alright. Night, Fout."
-
Galen said "I checked myself, didn't find anything of use. Feel free to see for yourself."
-
Fout Slept soundly.
((2AM here, night all! :3 ))
-
Zaida at the pond had made a fire and cooked fish. She sat under a tree, knowing it was dangerous but at least knew how to fight and kill. She just sighed and rested against the tree trunk. She wrapped in her tail and murres lightly while watching the fire ((alright night, try to slow the posting guys, don't want angder missing too much))
-
"I guess I can stay up and watch." I say going to the entrance and sitting down.
(Night Angder. ^_^ ))
-
Turning to the deer, Galen yelled "Hey, we're not your rescue. We're just trying to figure out where to wait until we get rescued. Eventually. Probably. Could take a while though."
Turning to Ray, he asked "So again, where are we gonna go from here now? Can't just stay here, and daylight's a finite resource."
-
Ray smiled. "In the boat. We can camp in their for the night, I bet."
-
Geoff smiled at Chains and nodded. "Good idea. Thank you, Chaaa--" he yawned, interrupting his sentence.
"Um, thank you, Chains. Heheh."
He curled up and quickly fell asleep.
((Gonna sleep too ))
-
Ray nodded. "I got you." He started up the boat, and then lowered his paw to Tybalt. "C'mon."
-
Galen opened his wings to their extent.
"I've got this. Hold onto your butt mate."
Grabbing Tybalt under his arms, he flew him up and into the rupture in the overturned ship's hull, careful to drop him on him feet before landing himself.
-
(I guess i'll go for now, everyone that is with me has gone to sleep.)
-
Ray blinked. "Oh." he pulled himself the rest of the way up, and then dropped onto the deck.
-
Well, now that I think about it, we've gotta get a fire and some food going if possible. I'm gonna head out hunting. Ray, if you can, I think I saw a dead tree or two near the forest's edge. See if you can get some wood, and maybe light it with something.
-
Ray nodded. "I'll do my best."
-
"You... find an ignition source if you can. Good luck. Seeya all soon I guess."
Galen checked his pack to make sure it was secured, then flew through the breached hull, landing at the edge of the forest. He knelt for a moment to draw his bow from its holding compartment in his pack, string it, and nock a broadhead before making his way into the forest, listening for any signs of movement.
The forest was ablaze with the changes of the leaves and undergrowth, but this was not important, and he continued his hunt deeper into the foliage.
-
Zaida saw the lion pass but gave no attention she simply are her fish peacefully as the pond glowed bright blue at night as if lights were inside.
Rolo was sitting at a fire at camp the cannibals joking, the large white lion stretched his owl wings and yawned showing his large teeth not noticing the other lion from afar looking for animals to hunt.

*Xiu sits near to zaida*
-
Zaida blinked looking at the saki deer. "Why are you here?" She asked with a raised brow.
-
"Its calm and beautiful,thats why"
-
she nods her head, dipping her legs in the pond before asking. "Why do you wear that?" She asked gesturing to his suit he wore.
-
"I wouldn't want to go around in my underwear weilding a katana,now would i?"
-
I sat at the entrance not much was going on. I started to wistle a little tune to myself.
-
She nods with a slight small chuckle. "That is a good point" she agreed and took a small bite from her fish. "Do you want fish?"
-
Galen continued his lengthy trek through the darkened forest. It had been hours now, and although he had seen some wildlife among the bushes, these sightings were not enough to get a clear line of sight, let alone allow a proper kill. He moved on without fear of being lost, as reorientation would be as simple as climbing up through the trees and flying out. If this streak of unevenfulness kept up, he would likely have to return to the ship, and wait for the morning. Hopefully some species on this island would become much more active in the daytime, as the island's supply of nocturnal animals was apparently minuscule.
-
I would go from song to song, wistling, sometimes i would sing it. I was just trying to pass the time away.
-
As it was finally midnight, animals and large insects began to roam. A large alligator like creature having more eyes and limbs ran about, along with large centipedes bigger than Furries crawled around eating weaker insects and even some animals. A few unicorns trotted about glowing in the dark night but also sticking together to avoid predators. However more and more came out. Some looking far more scarier going up to ten feet or larger even.
-
There were comotions outside. I went and peacked out. I was shock, so many creatures around.
-
She nods with a slight small chuckle. "That is a good point" she agreed and took a small bite from her fish. "Do you want fish?"
"yes please"*he looks at her*
-
Galen saw a light ahead. Not a steady glow, but rather a soft flicker, only present long enough to assure its existance befroe extinguishing. He moved closer, only to find that whatever the source of the light was, it had disappeared. Replacing the small flicker of warm light was a rustle, first in the bushes, then in the branches, suddenly in the leaves directly above. Looking upwards, bowstring pulled taut, Galen saw nothing at first. Within an instant, there was a screech, and a creature, indeterminate in its appearance due to the dark, dropped downwards towards Galen from the trees above. He barely managed to step aside as the small light he had seen before erupted from this strange creatures mouth, quickly forming a blaze a meter in diameter where he had been standing. In the fire, he saw the creature. It was a bit smaller than a German shephard, white along its belly, face, and its tail, and a light orange along its entire back. Its claws were long, but seemed to be more for climbing than for hunting, and its five curled horns were striped ivory and onyx. The thick, prehensile tail swayed back and forth as it noticed its failed attempt at incinerating Galen. These motions were ended abruptly by the brand new arrow sticking out of its head, just at the top of the bridge of the creature's snout. Galen waited for the surrounding earth to cool before claiming his arrow and his kill, and soon ater he climbed the nearest tree and started his flight over the forest to the derelict ship he used as tonight's shelter.
-
Oddly the unicorns could drink the ocean water, and they stayed close like a big family protecting each other. The water had serpents jump out, some fighting for dominance with large tusk and whale like moans making fish fly out some even large sharks which were quickly caught by Roc owls (large owl creatures). It seemed they roamed more than day.
Zaida finishing her small meal grabbed one from the fire and handed him a good sized fish.
-
*he grabs it and eats*
-
Getting out of the water she began to set up a small tent. "Are you leaving or staying?" She asked Xiu not wanting to leave the saki deer without shelter.
-
By the time Galen reached the ship, his kill had started to basically smoke its own flesh from the inside out, probably a result of its incendiary properties during life. He landed in front of the hole in the hull, seeing Tybalt in the distance staring at the moonlit nighttime scenery. "God damnit Tybalt" he thought, deciding how he should confront the lethargic deer before finally deciding to deal with him in the morning. Taking his kill inside, he cleared an area for himself and his equipment before setting the kill aside. In the morning he might try to drain the fuel from the creature's internals for later use, if it wasn't consumed in its entirey by the morning. His dreams this second night were still muted with exhaustion from the day's fights and flights, but not nearly as much as the previous night. This could probably be attributed to the absence of a fall from 39,000 feet onto this acid trip of an island.
(Good night to all who participated. Best of luck.)
-
Ray stood on the top deck, clenching his revolver. He watched the jungle, flexing his paws. He felt something was watching him, and didn't like it. Something was too smart, too organized, too...normal...out there. Ray continued to watch, blinking once every few minutes.
-
Fout begins to wake up....
-
Geoff began to wake up as well. He rolled onto his back and stretched and yawned at the same time. He somehow found this funny--or at least that's what it seemed like--and interrupted the yawn with soft laughter. He sat himself up and rubbed his eye.
((I yawned like four times writing this. XD ))
-
Fout jolted awake at the sound, then relaxed realizing it was Geoff. "Still night" Fout stated. He liked the night. so dark he could go anywhere, do anything, without anyone ever seeing him...
"Do you hear those sounds?" Fout listened to the creatures. "Guess... Guess the animals here are unique to this place..."
-
"Yeah... They're pretty interesting."
He smiled. "I caught this goofy fish-lizard thing in the pond. I was just messing around, didn't think I'd actually get it. That was pretty neat..."
-
"Cool..." Fout glanced out. "I left my cogs and stuff when we were attacked, I was planning to go get it now... but I think I might wait."
-
"Yeah..."
Geoff's mind was still on the pond... and Zaida.
He leaned back against the cave wall. "... God, I'm an idiot..."
-
Fout shrugged. "Not really."
-
Geoff shook his head. "That native girl probably wasn't mad at me. She was just mad at the crazy guy... I always assume it's my fault... I hate making enemies..."
-
"And? what if she was mad at you? better safe than sorry!"
-
Geoff slouched sheepishly. "Well, yeah, that's true... I still wanted to leave, aside from that. All those survivors depend on her... maybe some aren't able to make it on their own. I didn't want to leech off their supplies... I thought I should go and look out for myself..."
He brought his knees up and rested his arms on top. "I didn't think about... monster dog things and whatnot. Heheh..."
-
Fout shrugged again. "We survived." He states happily.
-
Geoff grinned at him. "Yeah... And I'm... surprised I killed one. Never killed anything like that before..."
-
"Nor have I..." Fout said. "I try to avoid killiing."
-
"Yeah... You know, f-for a bit, I was thinking this would be easier than... living on the streets. I mean, the food is free if you find it or hunt it, or whatever. But back home, there's all that food, right in your face, but if you don't have the money, you're screwed."
-
"It's not easier or harder. its different." Fout states. "I preferred to stay above the streets of course... Streets are too dangerous"
-
"'Above the streets'? What do you mean?"
-
"Exactly what it sounds like." Fout stated. "Rooftops."
-
"Oh... I suppose that is a safer place..."
He looked up at Fout. "So, uh, how was the monster meat? Are you feeling sick at all?"
-
"I don't feel hungry." Fout said. "And I still seem to be here..."
-
"Ah..." Geoff rested his head on his folded arms and shrugged. "Oh well. I'm used to going hungry. Doesn't bother me much anymore... If I could remember where that damn pond is, we won't have to worry about food much."
-
"We could go looking in the morning... though we must be careful not to get lost..."
"Don't suppose you have any paper?"
-
"Nope," he replied.
-
"Damn" Fout glanced around. "Not really a problem I guess... we have nothing to write with anyway..."
-
"Do you remember where the old cave is? I bet I could figure out where to go from there."
-
"South" Fout said simply. "It is somewhere south"
-
"Alright..."
Thinking, he placed his finger on the floor, then ran it downwards towards himself, as if drawing an invisible map. He paused, moved the finger right, then paused again and frowned. "Mmh... I can't remember which way we went, but I'm pretty sure I will if we stop nearby."
-
"We need to be careful, this is a good base, it would be a shame to lose it..."
-
"Yeah, I know..."
Geoff refolded his arms on his knees and rested his brow on them, exhaling with a quiet groan.
-
((I think we should leave it there, And wait for chains at the very least.))
-
((Yeah, I was thinking the same))
-
I woke with a snort.
"Must have fallen asleep." I mutter to myself.
My ears perk, I can hear talking.
"They must be awake."
I go and walk into the cave and notice everyone awake.
"Morning," I say walking up to Geoff and Fout.
-
"m... morning..." Fout replied.
-
Zaida stopped murring and yawned then stretched as she woke. She luckily made the tent last night for shelter.
-
'Mph." I yawn as I stretch.
"So, I hope you sleeped well."
-
Fout glanced outside, they had been talking longer than they thought.
"I... I woke up early. but that's fine. I like the night..."
-
She looked at Xiu that was sleeping in some pelts. She had snuck him in the tent since she didn't enjoy him out in the cold night. Zaida shook him lightly. "It's morning wake up" she said lightly as the sun was just beginning to rise.
-
I look to Geoff,
"You don't look so well. you should have ate something last night."
-
Geoff raised his head to look at Chains and shrugged. "Mn... I'll be fine."
((Sorry, guys, I took a nap that went longer than I meant. X_x ))
-
"You Sure" i asked a little consurned.
-
"Yeah. I'll be fine," he repeated. "I've gone through worse."
-
"Okay," i say, I turn to Fout.
"What's the plan for today" i ask
-
"Head south, Geoff has some fish to show us..."
-
Zaida exits the tent letting Xiu to sleep and dipped into the pond catching easy food with her paws and tossing them in a basket.
-
"Good plan." i say walking to the entrance.
I look around looking confused then turn back.
"Um... hehehe. Which way is south." i ask sheepishly.
-
"Yeah. And... uh... if we can, we should find a how--err--a way to cover the..." he wagged a pointed finger at the entrance. "...th-thing... It was kinda bothering me last night."
((That first goof was a zone-out typo, but it actually fits the character so I ran with it. I've been neglecting that detail in some of his dialogue because it's a pain to type fast enough already. XD ))
-
"When I find my machinery, that should be a piece of cake..." Fout grinned.
((Got food, be back in 15 or 20 mins.))
-
"What machinery?" I ask walking back to Geoff and Fout.
-
"That box he had. We found the parts in the ship, but he left the box behind when we ran from the people."
-
"I see," I say, puasing i put my hand to my chin thinking.
"Do you think that ship could be our way off this island?"
-
"I'm not sure. It's probably too damaged. And I don't think we could flip that big ship upright."
-
"If we had rope and enough people, It's possible we could. I know we're not the only survivers in that plane crash." I say
-
Fout nods. "The ship could get us off the island if we repair it... but something tells me its not that simple... It feels to easy..."
-
"With all the creatures I saw last night, I don't think it would be that easy either."
-
"Well, for now, we should just-uh, get settled... We have to make sure we find our way back here."
(( I'll be right back, hopefully ))
-
"Agreed..." Fout grinned. "I am going to go looking for my crate... will be back in a short while..."
Fout moved to the cave entrance, and left, heading for the area they had fled from.
-
"I'm going with you!" I cry out getting up and catching up with fout.
-
"Ok then... If you can keep up" Fout moves into the undergrowth, and moves with some speed...
-
I run, keeping up fairly easily.
-
Fout reaches the area they fled from. "Ok... where did I put it..." Fout glances around. and starts to search the bushes for it.
-
"There you are!" I exclaim
-
Fout blinks. "did you lose track of me?" Fout grins.
-
"No, found this." i say lifting up my chain.
"I must have dropped it when we ran.
-
"Oh" Fout says, slightly disappointed.
-
"hey, what did you drop?" I asked wrapping my chain around my torso.
-
"A crate of cogs, gears and pullies..."
Fout finds the box, tucked under a tree-root. He pulls it out. "Found it. lets get back to Geoff"
-
Geoff stayed alone in the cave, thinking as he always does. He was oddly content--cheerful, even. Perhaps things will go okay after all. They may be occasional prey, but as long as they were careful and stuck together, they'll survive just fine. Fout and Chains were great partners, and he would be completely screwed without them.
Normally realizing this fact would bother him, but now he accepted it just fine. He'll just have to learn and help as much as he can.
-
on our way, I start coolecting leaves from tree.
-
Fout noticed him doing this. but let him continue. "You should chop down a tree, and then we can carry a log inside..." Fout said "We will need the wood"
-
"That sounds good." I agree still collecting leaves.
-
Geoff pulled out his knife again to play with it while he waited for the two to get back. The blade was coated in dried green blood from the creature he stabbed. He wrinkled his nose at the sight. He should probably clean it off when he gets the chance.
-
Ray had fallen asleep on the deck of the wrecked ship, and awoke with a groan. He sat up, and looked around. "Oh...right."
-
Fout returns to the cave, and walks inside.
-
As Fout walked in, Geoff was in the middle of repeatedly flipping his knife in the air. When he noticed Fout, he got distracted and blinked as the knife clattered to the floor.
"Woops, eheh... w-welcome back."
-
"Hi" Fout looked at the cave entrance... "Can't work with the whole thing... will need to make the entrance slightly smaller... then I can make the door mechanism..."
-
"Ah. How would we do that?"
-
"Simple, we build a wall..." Fout glances out. "Hopefully chains will be back with the first tree soon..."
-
I walk into the cave and drop the pile of leaves I had collected. Looking at Geoff I notice he had a knife.
"Hey, can I borrow that knife for a sec."
-
"Oh," he chuckled. "Of course... and sure, Chains."
He handed it over.
-
"Oh, the tree."I say as I run out and back to the spot where the first tree was. I come back and lay the tree in the cave. Going back to the tree I take the knife and start stripping some of the leaves into strands. the other I start putting togerther.
-
"Thanks chains" Fout waits for Chains to finish, and then seems to roll the tree over to the door, checking how many logs he would need...
-
I nod letting Fout know I heard. Once I am finish with the knife I hand it back to Geoff. i start weaving the strands and the whole leaves into a new fedora hat. When I finish I look at it.
"Not the same as the old, but it'll do" I say putting the hat on my head.
-
Zaida filled the basket up and looked at the saki deer still sleep. "Hmm they sleep long, I'll be back" she stood and began to hike down the hill as she held her jagged machete, carefully.
-
"You went to all that effort over a hat?" Fout says, irritated.
-
Geoff smiled as he takes the knife back and sticks it back in his pocket.
((Forget the ring bit in my last post, I screwed up the timing because post order and stuff, and thought of a better way to reintroduce it.))
-
I look at fout
"yes, I really like my fedoras, completes the look."
-
Fout finishes examining the entrance, and then turns to chains. "I only need one more tree to do what I want to do... then a third so I can make the mechanism work. Can you bring in another 2 trees?"
-
"sure." I say as I get up and walk out the entrance and into the forest.
-
Fout looks around. "Anyone got an Axe?"
-
Zaida heard noises but quietly started to crouch as she grew close. ((BBS))
-
I look around at some trees and see two perfect one. Going to one tree, I take my chain and rap it around the trunck and start making a sawing motion.
-
Geoff walked up to Fout. "Uh, anything I can help out with?"
-
"I need to chop the tree into planks."
-
"Oh... Well, none of us have axes, so I don't know how we can do that..."
-
"MY chain should work," i say walking into the cave draging the two logs in with me.
-
Fout pulls out his knife. "Ok... I guess you are the guy who sorts out the wood then..."
-
"Kay," I nod. "How do you want me to cut it?"
-
Geoff stood back and watched Chains take care of everything, a bit disappointed that he couldn't help.
-
I look at Geoff,
"Hey, you want to help me?" I ask
-
((Gah, 3 RPs and skype, I need to close Minecraft (the game not the RP...)... :S ))
"Cut them into planks..."
-
Geoff's ears perked. "Yeah, sure."
-
"Yaeh," I respond back.
-
Geoff walked over to Chains. "How can I help?"
((Oh, and thank you for letting me know about that rule-breaking thread. I took care of it. :D ))
-
"I need you to hold the log up while I cut. This chain might be able to cut though wood without getting dammaged but rock is really hard on these."
-
"Alright."
Geoff held up the log. "That chain is pretty strong. I didn't know one could handle cutting wood."
-
"the chain is made for fighting, I made it with really tough steel and they have small sharp teeth on them. in a way, this is like a very flexible saw." i respond back.
-
Fut watches, impressed.
((Don't worry about it! I am just annoyed some people seem to completely blank on what PG13 actually means))
-
"Interesting," Geoff said, watching Chains saw the log. "That's pretty neat!"
((Oh, I know. I rant about that crap all the time. *sigh* >:I ))
-
"Yaeh it is." I say as I cut the last plank out from the tree." Time for the next one.
-
Fout takes the planks, and some nails from his crate, and starts to board over the entrance, leaving an irregular hole large enough for a person to fit through.
-
Geoff grabbed another log and held it upright for Chains to saw.
-
Wrapping my chain around it, I start sawing the wood into planks.
-
Fout takes planks from the second tree and finishes the doorway.
"Ok... now For the door."
-
I look at fout having just cut up the second tree.
"Do you want me to cut up the third for the door?"
-
Geoff held the third log up, smiling. "This is gonna be so cool..."
-
Taking my chain I start cutting it up into more planks.
-
Fout smiles, and starts making sure that the planks fit the hole, "From the outside it will look like a solid wall..."
-
I finish cutting up the planks. looking around there is no more logs to cut up.
"Looks like I'm going to have to cut down more trees for fire wood." I say as I wrap my chain back around my torso.
-
"ah.... yeah sorry about that...." Fout starts working on the mechanism... and then notices he is missing something crucial. "What can I use as rope?"
-
I walk out searching for a tree. When I do, I start cutting into it.
-
Geoff walked over to Fout. "is it possible to make a rope out of anything here?"
-
"Vines maybe?"
-
"Hey, that'll work. I'm on it." Geoff happily walked into the forest to gather vines.
-
In the distance you could hear me yell
"TIMBER!!" followed with a crash.
-
Fout sat and waited
-
I walk through the entrance dragging the log with me.
-
Geoff gathered a good bit of vines and walked back to the cave, cheerful as he finally accomplished something. "I know I overdid it a tad, but I'm sure we'll find more use for em."
-
Fout took the vines, and started working on the mechanism again...
-
I sit down and start gathering the planks that were left over and set them in a pile. Without anyone looking I reach my hand down and snap my finger. this created a spark lighting the bundle on fire.
-
A few warriors come back from zardoff's orders. They huffed at one another angrily as they talked about the survivors they failed to capture.
-
Fout finished construction. "OK..." fout pulled a lever, and the door moved up, using the hinge on the top of the doorway, and a set of vines... he then pulled it again, and it went down again, covering the hole... two planks then flipped into place, holding it shut. "Primitive... and someone has to be inside to open... will need to work out a way to open from the outside..." Fout opens the door, moves outside, and examines the area just outside...
-
I sit around the fire. this lights up the cave a bit drying my out. this is good. I laugh to myself a bit.
-
"And it needs to be hidden," Geoff said, leaning against the cave wall right by the entrance.
-
A few warriors hid not seeing the enter acne due to their position but saw fout, a black hyena locking a arrow towards the furry.
-
"Hey Geoff, Come look at this." I call to Geoff.
-
((He is inside the cave to the side, he shouldn't have been in the doorway. I think you meant Fout. ))
-
((I will assume its aimed at me...))
Fout is busy with the vine, making sure it works, he does not see the hyena.
-
"What is it?" Geoff walked over to Chains.
-
((Oops yup I meant him :P))
The hyena crawled closer and he aimed at fout his eyes locked on him.
-
Fout tugged the rope... the door started to shut but jams. "What went wrong" Fout yells through the hole.
-
"Look at what I made." I said my hands over the fire.
-
"The fire?" Geoff smiled.
He looked back at Fout. "Wait, what?"
-
Before fout could speak a crocodile grabbed over his mouth and a blade on his neck as he whispered. "Keke" the hyena puts his bow back. "Laki" he says and gestures the others to stay hidden. ((None of those have a meaning so you don't need to look it up xP))
-
my ears perk and i can hear rusling. i get up and walk out.
"Fout!" i call out.
-
(Hey angder, I think you just got cought.)
-
Fout struggles against the crocodiles grip... "MMPH MMPH" FOut elbows the Crocodile in the crotch.
-
Geoff swore and flipped out his knife, then ran out with Chains.
-
The crocodile winces but he him tighter as he began to back up bringing the furry along with struggle.
The hyena's ears perk and he draws his bow aiming where he heard the voice, having his paw raised for the few others that hid.
-
Fout stops struggling and his eyes go wide as chains and geoff come out of the cave.
-
I see fout struggling with a crocidile.
"Fout!" I shout.
-
The hyena stays in front of the croc, aiming the bow. "Ca!" He threatened with his bow the arrow drawn.
Zaida went back to camp, luckily gotten a small deer like creature.
-
Geoff stared with wide eyes, terrified, but attempted to hide his fear as he gripped his knife tightly and prepared himself for battle.
-
I see the bow aimed at me, I start chuckling then laughing almost miniacly.
-
The hyena still kept a straight face before commanding at the croc. "Jey!"
The crocodile snarled wanting to fight also but grabbed fout onto his shoulder, luckily his body was like armor, he than began to run back to Zardoff's temple to please his leader.
-
Fout struggles against the crocodiles grasp, trying to break free.
-
I chase after the croc seeing him flee with fout. I start uwrapping my chain. I toss it like a whip at the crock.
-
Geoff roared and began running, following the crocodile.
((I keep getting distracted while typing by my friend saying goofy stuff in our skype call. XD ))
-
The croc gets hit but kept sprinting due to the weapon giving him just a small cut.
The hyena, and the Furries he conmanded were only low ranks, wanting to please his emperor and go high her shot at chains. "Che!!" Arrows were beginning to shoot, one bull ran and rammed Geoff before sprinting by the crocodiles side.
-
Picking up speed I charge the crock, getting close and tackling him to the ground. pulling out my gun I point it at his fourhead.
-
Fout fell forward, and is stunned by the fall
-
Geoff flew back and hit the ground with a yelp. He hurriedly pushed himself back up, grabbed his knife, and continued the chase. He stopped where Fout was.
"Are you okay?!"
-
The croc stayed still looking at the gun before biting it breaking some teeth but giving the gun some scratches and dents as he thrashed and his claws slashed at chains. The hyena and the six others surrounded the scene aiming bows, a few holding melee weapons, and last the large bull held a odd weapons big as a log that was carved to look like a serpent and the mouth was a opening, as if it shot something.
-
I look around me and I start laughing.
-
Geoff lowered his head, his ears back.
"Ch-Chains, this isn't funny business..."
-
Fout looked at the odd weapon... "Greek flamethrower??!!" He exclaims. "They... They... They have a flamethrower?!"
((NO idea If I am right! But thats what it reminded me of! ))
-
"This will be fun." I say before Pulling out the other revolver and aiming it around me.
-
Geoff looked at Chains like the guy was crazy, then shook it off and raised his knife, readying himself for the fight.
-
((and it's fine no need to make a big deal, and it's sorta like that angder :P))
They look at the gun and began to laugh before the bull snorted and they all stopped the group slowly closing in except the bull that aimed the carved serpent looking weapon
-
Fout stayed down, and tried to play dead.
-
Aiming a my revolver to the Bull,
"DON'T MOVE!" I order.
-
The bul snorted and lowered the weapon he held having the open serpent mouth aim at him. A ferret had a blade with jagged rocks on the side, he slashed at Geoff and hissed.
-
Putting my finger to the trigger I said
"You want to move some more."
-
Geoff leaped to the side and turned, thrusting his knife at the ferret.
-
The bull stayed still now his weapon on the target.
The hyena barked at chains. "Le!!" Others closing in slowly one grabbing fouts arm to drag him away.
The hyena aims a arrow at chains
The ferret hissed and winced as he was hit and snapped his teeth as a threat at Geoff.
-
Geoff glanced and saw the people approaching Fout, gave up on the ferret, and ran toward them while holding his knife threateningly and growling.
-
Fout Suddenly grabs the Fur who is holding on to him, and pulls, while digging his claws in.
-
The wolf yelped and tried breaking away.
The croc threw chains off and slide to his feet.
The bull roared loudly stoping his hooves.
The low rank tribals ran into action beginning to attacking the three.
-
Geoff lunged his knife into the throat of the guy who grabbed Fout, then turned to the rest, baring his teeth.
-
Fout let go, and rolled to the side, climbing to his feet.
-
Geoff charged at a tribal coming toward him and thrust the knife into his gut.
-
The croc ran and threw the stabbed furry aside, he then grabbed Geoff slamming a knee in return and threw powder into fout's eyes. He took out a large melee weapon that had serpent teeth on the tip and sides.
-
Geoff roared in pain as he dropped to the ground, panting and horrified.
-
Fout yelped and as the powder went in his eyes, he drops back onto the ground and rubs his eyes frantically frantically trying to stop the searing pain.
-
The croc snarls at both and clashed his weapons making a loud roar
In the distance obviously not loud but enough to hear. Zardoff heard the roar he stood tall and gave a loud blood curtailing roar back that echoed through the whole island.
The croc smiled hearing his leader and the few tribals that were left began to tie the two up.
-
((We should wait for Chains to get back))
-
((That 'twas my plan :P *flys away majestically*))
-
Geoff had no energy left to move. He eyed his bloodied knife laying on the ground out of reach.
"M-my knife..." he croaked, clenching the fingers of his right hand.
-
((Tybalt, you're such a butt. :P ))
-
Waking up to the smeel of flesh still roasting, Galen opened his eyes to see what had become of last night's kill. Surprisingly, it was still intact, and from the feel of it as Galen sliced a portion of its flesh off with his claw, it was still palatable. The meat would not hold out for long, but the fire inside the corpse was still burning it seemed, but with much less intensity than the night before. Cutting the meat from the tail, he strapped on his pack and stepped outside the ship. To his right he saw the deer. The one who was supposed to find some firewood. The one who didn't.
"I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you did jack in terms of productivity last night, correct?", he said with a hint of expected disappointment.
He took a bite from the strongly flavored meat he held in his left hand.
"By the way, you ever see wherever Ray headed off to?"
-
I get up and quickly grab my chain. wrapping the chains around one furries neck I took the end and plunged it into his chest. jumping off his back I pull on the chain tightening the loop around his neck.
-
Fout Feels his hands get forced behind his back. he tries not to struggle too much as he is tied up, (that generally led to tighter knots) But also blinks frantically, trying to force the powder out of his eyes.
The fact is even if he got loose now, he would not get far while effectively blind.
-
((Zardoff's clan isn't Cannibals, gosh that's Rolo's tribe get it right you jerky furbutt :P))
The cheetah ran and slashed at chains while the others began to tie them up quickly.
The bull shot the large weapon, shooting a strong net with small sharp thorns at chains not caring for he furry he was choking.
Rolo's ears perk the large lion jumped up. "Kahya..." He says in his deep voice while sniffing and his large wings spread.
-
"Great" he said, flying off onto the beach to get a better grip of the environment.
-
Fout tries to look over at Geoff, but is unable to see him. He feels the ropes tighten, and winces.
-
Geoff breathed audibly as he panicked, whimpering as the ropes were tightened.
-
((I know its a bad time, but I have to sleep and chains seems to have gone for now... so night all! :3 ))
Fout shut his eyes as he heard Geoff whimper. he could not attempt anything with all these tribesmen around... he just had to hope chains could save them, or they could escape later on...
-
(Sorry guys, i had to help take care of my nephew. also, not sure if I will be here for a while tomorrow. I am going out of town and I might not have internet to come on. I don't know what to do since I seem to be one of the important characters here.)
-
Geoff could barely believe what was happening right now. He wished it were a dream. He wished he could wake up. He was dizzy and ill. His brain felt fuzzy and his vision darkened and blurred. He shut his eyes and tried to tune everything out...
-
((OK, I will stay on for another half an hour or until the situation is resolved then))
-
I followed the scent of Geoff and fout. Finding them tied up.
"ps, Geoff" I called i a whisper.
(I could have you use my character until I get back or if I do have internet.)
-
((You missed Zaida's post))
-
(what happened?)
-
((Zardoff's clan isn't Cannibals, gosh that's Rolo's tribe get it right you jerky furbutt :P ))
The cheetah ran and slashed at chains while the others began to tie them up quickly.
The bull shot the large weapon, shooting a strong net with small sharp thorns at chains not caring for he furry he was choking.
Rolo's ears perk the large lion jumped up. "Kahya..." He says in his deep voice while sniffing and his large wings spread.
((Most notably the bull))
-
I was able to dodge the arrows going and using the Fur as a meet shield. I went walked my way over the the Geoff and Fout. letting go of the fur and attacking the one that was tieing the two up.
-
((It was a net not arrows))
((Also I really can't afford to wait to sleep, I feel kinda terrible right now... sorry about that, night all))
One of the tribesmen tying Fout up stumbles due to the events behind him, and accidentally kicks Fout in the head, knocking him out.
-
I am able to get out, but not without having to leave Geoff behind, I look back.
"sorry guys. I'll save you!" I call back before running off. I was no match for these fur.
-
((Looks like Fout and Geoff are for-sure captured. But I think that's good because we can continue on our own problem until Chains gets back from real life stuff and sets out to find and free them or whatever. ))
-
There was little in the way of salvage remaining on the beach. Most of it was seemingly swept to sea, or removed in one way or another.
"Maybe some other survivors got to it?" thought Galen, as he noticed an article of luggage by the crash site, opened in haste with a thin layre of dust and dirt over its contents.
Stringing his bow once more, he went inwards towards the island.
Considering that his last catch had most likely expended all its flammable material from preserving its own corpse, his plan tonight was to find a similar animal, kill it, and preserve the fuel as soon as possible. It would more than likely serve a good purpose during his time here.
He entered the shade of the trees, nocking another arrow and proceding onwards.
-
The crocidile begins to walk with the other tribals. It could take days until getting back to Zardoff due to it was already late, once they got far they stopped at a large tree to rest for the night.
Zaida was in the pond's secret small cave that was just behind the waterfall for privacy.
Some animals came out during the night, but so far it wasn't that late.
-
I return to the base, to formulate a plane.
(IF I can get internet I'll let you guys know.)
-
Galen slowly flew back to the ship, bow in one hand, and another one of the pale orange incendiary animals in the other.
A thin trail of smoke rose from several smoldering feathers on his right wing, and his face had streaks of ash in several places.
The creature, which Galen had named an incinerator, had been sliced along its underbelly, and the leathery fuel sack was removed and held by the same hand as the rest of the animal.
He landed in the sand next to Tybalt with a considerable impact, and threw the smoking, yet still edible, corpse into his arms with some force.
"You have NO idea what these little bastards are capable of."
Galen flew to the top of the ship's overturned deck, sitting to catch his breath and unstring his bow.
A faint pillar of smoke was rising in the distant regions of the forest.
-
Some clanking was heard on the side of the boat And little whines.
Zaida walked out of the gloating pond, seeing Xiu still slept she was surprised. She wrapped herself in a pelt drying her fur off as she got her clothing and began to dress. After she got meat from the fire and ate small bites.
Something large roamed through the forest furious having tree's knocked over and such as it snorted smoke.
-
Galen sighed, seeing Tybalt drop the day's food source onto the sandy ground. Picking up the incinerator's carcass with one hand, hey leapt up the the ship's entrance, and dropped the smoking remains near the previous kill, still untouched for some odd reason. He looked at the deer below him, thinking "Wonder how the guy's still standing. Haven't seen him eat much as of now."
Dropping down, he asked Tybalt "It's not more for 'putting elsewhere' and more for eating. Not bad, you should try it. Unless you've got a better idea."
-
The clanking on the side of the ship stopped before running was heard and loud clanks were heard before a small unicorn struggled onto the ship and neighed while prancing around playfully, it was pure white its tail was long and sway like a cats and the tip bushy, it's horn just a bit curved, along with its hooves like a goats and lastly was just three feet tall. ((There is scary moments... But there must be adorable ones :3))
-
He looked up at the strange creature, likely the source of the noise. Primarily admiring the animal, he also temporarily contemplated what a mythological being would taste like. As the unicorn caught the unfamiliar predatory scent of Galen, it looked once at him and Tybalt before bolting over the nearby rocks and past the brush along the shore's edge.
Galen said "Well... that was odd... and interesting. Anyways, as I was saying, you hungry or what? I didn't kill a fire-breathing, tree climbing, walking acid trip for your to just look at it."
-
Galen darted inside the ship and returned with a sizable strip of meat, slightly charred along one edge, but otherwise unremarkably well cooked as a result of the creature's dying exothermic reaction.
"Hey man, no harm no foul right? Here." he said, handing the meat to Tybalt.
-
"Well someone's jumpy" Galen thought. "Wonder how hard he hit his head in the crash."
It was amazing to see how fast a species evolved for grazing was able to tear through a slab of meat with such vigor.
-
Ray was out on the beach, preening for any luggage. He wasn't sure if he could find his luggage, but with any luck, he'd find it.
-
Galen recalled his journey over the beach and the nearby rocks earlier in teh day. During his short expedition he had come across a beach of pebbles, and more notably, small fragments of flint. He had a fuel source, and a source of ignition, but no wood to burn. It seemed it would be another dark night. Or rather, relatively dark, considering the increased nighttime capability of a big cat's eyes.
The wood would have to wait till the next morning it seemed, as finding enough this late into the night would be exceedingly difficult.
He set himself down inside the ship, now considerably more orderly, if not quite clean.
-
((Sorry about how I acted last night, I was kinda a dink))
Fout opened his eyes, and glanced around. terrified.
-
((How so? o_o ))
Enough time had passed to where Geoff's panic attack began to fade. He still felt dizzy, ill, horrified. His body shook as it recovered, his stomach aching.
"F-Fout?" he rasped, turning his head to his friend beside him.
-
((Well, if you did not notice, Nevermind then XD ))
Fout would have clutched his head... but his hands were behind his back. "What happened..." He whispered. "I remember being tied up... did they knock us out?"
-
"I.. I don't know... I don't think I was..."
-
Fout looked out at the tribesmen. "No point trying to escape yet... oh crud.... the people must be active day and night.... you heard the creatures last night. finding our chance to escape could easily be impossible..." Fout looks at Geoff "We... we just have to hope they don't plan to kill us..."
-
Geoff held back a whimper. "W-why would they-they wanna k-kill us, we did nothing wrong..."
He shut his eyes tight and sniffled. "We-we didn't mean to crash here; why don't they understand..."
-
"They have not killed us yet..." Fout said. "So its just a question of why they want us..."
-
"I-if they meant to not kill us, why did they attack us like that? Why tie us up?"
Geoff grunted. "They coulda been like--been like--like, walk over and like, 'hey... jjjoin us for tea at the village' and lead us there, l-like normal folk..."
-
Fout could not help but laugh slightly. "Sorry.... I just imagined the crocodile sitting down with a tea-cup...all posh-like" Fout tries to stop himself sniggering. "Well... I guess we won't know until we arrive... or until we ask one of them..."
-
Geoff smiled slightly at Fout's laugh, then dropped it.
"I don't wanna ask them... I don't think they can speak English, anyway."
-
"I... I agree..." Fout said. "I could probably free myself with a bit of effort and time. but there is no point until I actually stand a chance of getting us both out of here..."
-
"Mm-hm... and... if we do manage to escape, we need food..."
Geoff grunted as he shifted uncomfortably.
"I need to eat, like, really bad... like, asap..."
((I'll be back in a few))
-
((I reckon we wait for Zaida anyway, I can't see us doing much, and we can't attempt an escape until she gets back))
Fout glared at Geoff, letting his glare say all there was to say
((\/*flails with you*))
-
Geoff lowered his ears and frowned, turning his head away from Fout. "I-I know..."
((Alright.))
(( ... *More impatient flailing* Nyuuuuh... D: ))
-
((Flies back down majestically))
The tribals ate some unicorn while laughing cruel as they talked about the two and teased them obviously not serious since they were all teens and a low rank.
Zaida was up early washing her clothing along with Xiu's. She had everything packed for a better place that she found.
-
Fout sighed. "They will need to feed us at some point... no point kidnapping us just to starve us to death..."
((*Stops flailing, and acts like nothing happened* >.> <.< ))
-
One held the legs of the food and tossed it to the Furries, didn't have much meat but would keep them alive for emperor Zardoff.
-
(Hello, testing. Havent left yet, just on my phone to see if it will work)
-
(*waves* yup works still))
-
Fout looked at the food. "Err... my... my hands are... are tied behind my..."
((works!))
-
The croc chuckles obviously the stupid one before the bull snorted angrily. The bull stood with rope tying the two on a tree tightly, he took a blade out and cut they're hands loose. "Eat" he sat and watched the two like a hawk.
-
(How about now.)
-
*Xiu looks around the wilderness*
-
(Yup :3)
Zaida hums hanging his and her clothing on a branch as she was wrapped in a pelt
-
(Maybe this will work ^_^)
Post Merge: May 21, 2015, 02:27:11 PM
I wake up knowing what i am going to have to do.
-
Fout ate his leg of meat, he noted how sharp the bone was... he wondered if he could, if he was not being watched, cut the rope with it.
Not really important, he was being watched...
-
I get up and made my way to where we were ambushed. Getting on all four i start sniffing the ground.
-
Geoff, still shaking, gripped the food and peered at it, briefly hesitant to eat it. He knew he needed it--and he really wanted it--but right now he wasn't sure he could keep it down. He gave in and ate it, slow at first, then hastily.
-
Zaida looks at Xiu "I am washing you clothes Xiu, we then can leave to a safer and better place"
The bull snorted tapping a hoof to the floor as he was sharpening a stick.
-
I catch the scent and start following it.
-
Fout passed the remaining meat he had to Geoff. "I am not that hungry... I ate last night"
-
I come across the camp, jumping into the tree and seeing a fur pocking a stick into fout. Tacking my chain i lowere a lop and loop it around his neck pulling chocking him.
-
He began to put ink on the tip of the sharp stick and grabbed fouts arm roughly before tapping into his arm and beginning to make a permanent tattoo.
-
Comming across the camp, i quietly jump into a tree. Searching I found Geoff and fout. There was a fur with a stick pocking it into fouts arm. I quietly jump down behind the fur using my chain looping it around his neck before jumping back in the tree and pulling up tightening the chain around his neck.
-
"Th-thank you..."
Geoff took the meat from Fout and ate it, feeling a little better.
-
"oww" Fout tries to move his arm away
-
(Is zaida at school?)
-
((Yes ?-? But I'll be off and on due to block schedule))
The croc struggled but silentl went limp.
The bull huffed and snorted pulling his arm continuing with the marking forcefully.
-
Fout whimpered as the tattoo was forced onto his arm. He then looks to find out what he had been tattooed with.
-
Jumping back down i dod the same with thw bull.
-
((Wasn't it the bull he attacked first? Because he attacked the one jabbing the stick into Fout's arm))
-
((Erk sorry, I screwed up (Again) X_X))
-
((It wasn't just you. Zaida got confused as well. I think everyone did. XD ))
-
The bull large swung around and snorted slamming his back to a tree causing a scene, leaving a colorful Aztec like ouroboros on his shoulder.
The hyena roared grabbing a spear and trying to hit chains off.
A cheetah ran to the Furries tied up guarding with large melee weapons in both hands.
((School did this *flips table* it has been done, will be back soon continuing writing ;-; ))
-
I dodge all the attacks, whipping people with my chain. I slowly make my way to fout and geoff. Witb a quick swipe from ghe tip, fhe rope is cut.
-
Fout looked down as the rope falls away, and shoved the bone from his meat into the knot on the rope round his legs, freeing his legs. he then prepares for a fight.
-
Geoff attempted to unknot the rope around his legs the same way Fout did, but it doesn't work as well. He growled in frustration.
-
I walk up to geoff and cut the rope. I growl in a fighting stance.
-
Now free, Geoff jumped up and hesitantly readied himself as well. He felt defenseless without his pocket knife... but then he remembered he already has blades on his fingers.
-
(Just to catch up, what happened while i was gone?)
-
((Nothing. The tribesmen just stopped to take a break, and Fout and Geoff just talked with each other about how it sucks. XD ))
-
(I see)
-
((I have food, be back in 20 mins))
-
(( I'm back and I did pretty good ))
The bull rubbed his neck having a bruise from the chain that chains used to choke him with. He charged with his head down to use his horns. The hyena shot a arrow at Geoff as the owl flew towards angder with his claws ready and the cheetah ran off.
-
Taking the arrow in my hand, dodged and swipped the end across the bulls back.
-
Geoff tried to dodge the arrow, but it sliced him in the upper arm. He swore in pain and charged at the hyena to claw him in the face.
((eh, I'm still sticking with him getting sliced with the arrow. It's starting to get kinda godmoddy ))
-
((Hehe :3 Rolo wants to play))
Large stomps were heard before a large eight foot lion (just a bit taller that Zardoff), Rolo or known as the cannibal king, his fur pure white fur ruined with blood stains and he had large owl wings, his eyes, mane and tail were shadow black along with his eyes having white specks. came into the scene taller than all the furs he looked at the largest, the bull and grabbed him by the horns and bit his neck swinging him like a rabid beast as the bull cried out.
The hyena took the claw and yelped before he looked up at the lion with fear trying to save his friend, as the owl went to Geoff to finish him off and the cheetah came back slamming into chains by surprise with his speed and strength.
-
I went flying, slaming into a tree. I hit the ground and moaned a bit before getting back up. My back hurting from hittong the trew. I looked at the lion, fear in my eyes.
-
Geoff lunged his claws into the Owl's belly and pulled them back out, kicked him down, then span around to see the massive lion. He gaped and backed away a bit.
-
"Um, geoff, fout," i wisper. "I think we should go.
I began backing up grabbing my chain and winding it.
-
Fout grins. "Agreed."
He backs away with Chains
-
Geoff nodded and followed his crew, covering his arm wound.
-
The cheetah didn't give up, he charged into the with incredible speed hitting into Rolo
-
"I... I am going to run now."
Fout turned, and tried to flee past his friends into the undergrowth, hoping to vanish out of sight
-
Geoff ran along with Fout.
-
The owl follow after slashing they're backs
The cheetah again knocked into chains having him slide on the floor the cheetah held a spear to his chest as a threat
Rolo tore the Furries apart staining his fur more and roaring, having the bull now headless and his body on the floor as he attacked the hyena.
-
Fout stopped suddenly and stabbed the owl in the stomach as it came towards him.
-
Fear was in my eyes as i stared at the cheeta. I went to grabr at the spear.
-
Geoff looked back, seeing Chains down by the cheetah.
"Ch-Chains. we can't leave him..."
They owed him. Geoff owed him.
After taking a breath, he clenched his teeth and ran toward the cheetah, digging his claws into his arms and tossing him down to the ground. He kept his foot on his back until Chains got up, then started running away again.
-
(I'll be back soon. I have some things i need to take care of)
-
He struggled with his grip trying to stab him as he snarled before he could do anything he was thrown down. Rolo then tossed the hyena at Geoff and roared loudly before grabbing the cheetah.
The cheetah hissed with pain and struggled with fear until Rolo tore him apart like a monster.
The owl in pain and weak flew off back to the temples to report.
-
Fout looked over at Chains. "Erm, well err..." Fout sees the hyena being thrown, and runs to try to push Geoff out of the way.
-
Geoff yelped as he was pushed and hit the ground. He scrambled up and continued to flee.
-
I quickly get up and start running, slidding my chain back atound my torso.
-
The lion roared cannibals can be heard yelling and running over to their king. He began to stomp towards the Furries holding the bull and cheetah over one shoulder staining his white fur. (When I get home I definitely need to draw Rolo XD)
-
Fout followed Geoff, terrified.
-
Geoff roared and ran as fast as he could.
"RUN!!"
-
The lion roared pounding his chest. His body covered in bones as armor. He began to run on all fours, dropping the bodies having his tribe grab them and follow after.
-
Fout Tries to vanish into the undergrowth, remaining hidden while still following Geoff.
-
Geoff had no idea what to do. He couldn't run for long... and they couldn't lead the lion to their base. They had to lose him--without getting lost themselves.
He made a quick turn right.
-
Fout, too terrified to think straight, kept going straight on.
-
The lion continued to run before tumbling and hitting against a tree, he slide to his feet before sprinting, continuing to chase Geoff but luckily lost fout.
-
Geoff noticed this and wanted to roar at Fout to follow, but perhaps his sudden turn caught the lion's eye and he'd follow him instead of Fout... this would be both good and terrible.
((Oh look at that, he was right. XD ))
-
Realizing he was no longer being followed, Fout stopped moving, and hid. He watched Geoff. Worried his friend was going to be caught.
-
The lion stopped grabbing a large Boulder and throwing it, to strong of a throw it went over Geoff it hit a tree breaking in bits. The lion have a roar before he pointed at Geoff running, his cannibal tribals running past Rolo having Geoff.
-
I caught up with geoff,
"We need to loose them!"
-
Geoff was growing exhausted.
"I--*pant*--know--*pant*--that's the--*pant*--plan...!"
-
Rolo the right foot lion saw the small deer (or well small to him since he's abnormally huge :T) from afar and roared charging towards him as the other tribals chased the two furries.
-
Geoff decided to make like a proper black bear and quickly scrambled up a tree, on a branch high enough so he could stay out of reach long enough to catch his breath and kick the warriors off if any came up.
-
I ran, ran as fast as i could. Looking up i saw geoff in a tree. I did the same thing, climbing a tree.
-
Fout continued to watch, waiting for a good time to act...
-
The cannibals struggled trying to get onto the tree, they yelled and threw stones.
Rolo chased the deer, now just behind him and tried reaching out as he roared angrily.
-
I pull out my revolvers and start aiming at them.
-
Geoff kept hold on the trunk of the tree, wincing at the thrown stones. He roared loud at them.
-
Having the perfect aim, I started firing at the cannibles at the bottom.
-
Fout decides to act, he runs towards Rolo, hoping to jump onto his back and stab him.
-
The cannibals roared and fought before one planned an idea and they began to stack on one another to reach them.
The lion grabbed ahold of tybalts leg and roared in his face.
-
I start firing at the cannibles that were stacking ontop of eachother. Hopefully this would stop or at least stall them.
-
Fout Jumped onto the lion, and managed to put the bone he had to the lions throat, like a knife. "D....Drop him... or... or you die..."
-
The lion began to laugh with a deep voice holding tybalt still, he spreads his large forty feet wings before bolting into the sky with incredible speed.
The cannibals ran about frantically before hiding but stayed near the tree, avoid the shots.
-
seeing the lion having ahold of tybalt flying into the air, I started firing at his wings while trying not to hit Angder.
-
Fout screams as he is forced to cling on to the lions back. he drops the bone by accident. he shuts his eyes and starts whimpering as he realizes what a terrible mistake he had made
-
*CLick, CLick." I look at my guns and notice that i was out of bullets. reaching to my belt I felt for more amo, my eyes widen, I was completly out of bullets. I shove my revovler back into there holters.
-
The cannibals poke their head out laughing and running to the tree trying to climb up once more.
The lion bolted past tree's sometimes knocking into them, he then looked at the Furries on the tree's and roared with anger.
-
Taking my chain I tie the end like a laso, I jump from tree to tree and throw it at the lion the knot going around his foot and I too the other end and looped it around a tree.
-
Geoff tried to kick one of the cannibals that got too close, but he grabbed onto his leg and held on tight as he tried to free it.
He gathered a wad of saliva and spit it right into the cannibal's eye. The guy cried out and let go, falling onto the others, knocking them all down.
-
Fout Clung on tighter, knowing at this height letting go was so much worse
-
The cannibal got up rubbing his eye frantically, the others distracted and looking at him with concerned faces.
The lion felt the chain and smiled yanking his foot in hopes to get chains. He flew higher and his wings went faster to keep himself in the air. He roared but a far more louder, familiar blood curtailing roar interrupted echoing through the island.
Meanwhile Zardoff was furious with the owl's news and grabbed a large blade stomping on the Owls back letting out another loud roar before beheading him.
-
I was just able to get the chain wrapped around the tree before the lion got to far.
-
Fout looked down at the chain, and wondered if he could safely climb down it...
-
Geoff couldn't believe what he was going to do next, but high on adrenaline in the moment, it felt right.
He dove off the tree, falling on top of the cannibals. He sliced and stabbed them with his claws, then fled a ways to grab a spear on the ground. He turned back, ready to fight any that were still willing to attack.
-
The lion kept tugging and I noticed the chain lossening untill it came undone. i jumped and was able to grabe it but the lion took off. With me dangling from the chain.
-
Fout sighed, he had missed his chance.
-
The began to pile on him, snapping or clawing once they grew close.
Rolo laughed flying higher with the Furries before diving down to the tree he was tied to clashing into it, dropping and or making the Furries he had on him fall off. He then landed to the floor and gave a loud roar tearing the chain off and tossing it but left a large cut on his ankle.
-
I landed on the ground and thought i heard a snap in my ankle, I let out yelp feeling the intence pain.
-
Fout rolled painfully, but forced himself to his feet, and turned to look at the Lion, claws out.
-
(I'll be gone for a bit. i should be back soon though)
-
Geoff span around, kicking and swiping and thrusting his spear at the attacking cannibals, leaping back a bit if they began to overwhelm him. He whittled them down to the last, which he floored and stabbed in the chest. He then set out to where his crewmates were, almost blind to the multiple bleeding slices in his arms from the attackers' claws and teeth.
"FOUT! CHAINS!" He roared.
-
I try to get back up, but; I crumple back to the ground in pain.
"gah" I exclaim.
-
Geoff caught up to them.
"Are you guys okay?" he asked before realizing Chains was curled up on the ground.
He ran over to him.
"What happened?"
-
The lion looked down at fout and retracted his large claws and roared.
The cannibals stopped and backed away but surround the Furries and their master.
-
Fout would have ran... but he seemed to be surrounded... he backed away from the Lion, looking for an opening in the cannibals surrounding them
((*Starts flailing again* :P ))
-
Geoff jolted and turned toward the lion. He lowered himself into a battle stance while backing up with Fout, gripping the spear tight. Blood streamed down his arms onto the handle.
-
I coudn't get up, but i started to reel in my chain.
Post Merge: May 21, 2015, 09:54:34 PM
(Hello? Where is everyone? :?)
-
((Waiting for Zaida.))
-
(Oh, okay)
-
((Sorry I have school... And summer school, a bit pissed... And other personal things :T ))
Rolo hissed looking down at the four Furries, he licked his lips with hunger seeing the blood the white specks in his eyes moved about. The cannibals looking at their leader with fear and submission to their leader, Rolo the cannibal king.
-
"We... we can't fight that?!" Fout whispers to Geoff.
-
I felt so useless, I couldnt walk and i was in the mercy of the lion. Fear was quite visible on my face.
-
Geoff kept his eyes on the lion as he whispered back to Fout.
"I know... we... we have to flee. Somehow..."
((I know the feeling, Zaida. Summer school sucks. X_x;; ))
-
Using a tree next to me i was able to get up and hold my wait off my injured leg.
-
"chains is too badly injured... I don't have the strength, nor do you..." Fout states...
"I think this is it... we are really going to die..."
-
I stare at fout and geoff,
"No, juwt leave me. Save yourselves" i say
-
The lion began to slowly stomp to the Furries his mouth making a trail of drool and blood from the previous victims as he grew closer
The cannibals eager to eat the Furries for a meal had ropes ready to tie them up and take them to their somewhat destroyed temples which they called home.
-
"I... I don't see a way out... I have to just..."
Fout suddenly dashed towards the circle of cannibals, he tries to claw his way out to safety, trying to push the furs blocking him out the way...
-
Geoff's heart pounded as the massive lion approached. He backed away very slowly, gradually quickening his pace.
"... Pl-please..."
--
Then he saw Fout run.
"FOUT!"
-
I feel around my pocket and to my luck, i had one bullet left. Inserting it into my gun.
"Hey, over here!" i call to the lion.
-
The lion turned to chains standing tall and casting a shadow over him, the bone armor he wore making him seem larger and scarier.
The cannibals began to slash back and began to push him back to keep him in the circle.
-
"Ya, you come over here." i beckon the lion over.
-
Fout felt one blade cut deep into his right arm, he fell back into the circle. clutching his arm.
"Please... I just... I just don't want to die..." He whimpers, as he crawls back from the cannibals.
-
The lion walking to chains baring his teeth at him giving a menacing look as he claws retracted and his eyes stared into his showing no mercy.
-
"Okay, only one shot" i tell myself before raising my gun and pointing it at his head. I had the face of a killer. The face my bounty see before they die.
-
Geoff shut his eyes tight and thought hard. It was almost impossible...
-
Fout leaned back and waited, completely losing hope.
-
"Say goodbye" i say before pulling the trigger.
-
Rolo gave a powerful roar at chains blowing his fur back and raising his paws to hit but the shot echoed and the large lion fell backwards, hard onto his back.
The cannibals went silent and pushed the Furries out of their way screaming and roaring as they got to their king pushing him to wake up frantically.
-
Fout opened his eyes.
"Wha... what hap~ Wait why do I care?"
Fout climbs to his feet, and starts running
-
Geoff opened his eyes wide after the shot rang out. He stared at the fallen lion, adjusting his grip on the spear.
-
I sat there killer intent still on my face.
-
The cannibals shook him and cried out loudly began to drag him off with struggle as some cursed in their language at the Furries as they dragged Rolo away still crying out his name.
-
Geoff ran up to Chains.
"We need to go."
He wrapped his arm around him and helped him flee back to their base as fast as possible.
-
When we finally got to the base, i collapsed, i had forgotten about the pain in my leg.
-
Fout leaned against a tree some way off, gripping his arm. He could feel the blood seeping into his fur...
"Oh god..."
Fout tried to make his way back to base...
-
I look around,
"Where's fout?" i ask then feel around my torso. Looking around frantically now
"Where is it."
-
Back at the destroyed temples which they called home The cannibals shook Rolo yelling his name as they cried loudly, before they all had they're head low and ears laid back.
Rolo's right eye shot open and he looked at his surrounding and sat up the left eye closed tight as blood dropped from it, looking as if he was crying blood. He snarled and roared loudly.
The cannibals gasp and bowed to him as they changed his name.
Zaida heard the whole thing but chose to stay what she was doing, she wanted to help but they all went separate ways for a reason, already dressed she lightly kicked Xiu that slept in pelts, holding his suit she wash.
-
((I wasn't expecting us to get to the base so quick. I'm just gonna say Chains managed to get to the base ahead of us))
Geoff's vision grew blurry as he wobbled back to the base. But he eventually collapsed on the ground
-
(Oh, oops hehe.)
-
Fout heard the roar. it sounded close. "oh... oh crap... he... he survived?!" Fout began to move away from the Roar, He was not even sure where the base was anymore but he wanted to go anywhere but here.
-
Geoff tried to stand back up and continue walking, but his bleeding arms and body were too weak to move anymore. He flopped back down.
He cried out weakly. "Fout...!"
((ICANTTYPEWORDS))
-
I hear geoff fall down outside and limp out and drag him bag in the base.
-
Fout leans against another tree. he felt weak, he just needed to rest a while... he sat down, his back to the tree, and shut his eyes...
Just a few minutes rest...
Fout fell unconscious from bloodloss.
((Need to sleep, go on without me, I am unconscious anyway. Night all. :3 ))
-
I had put my leg in a splint before passing out.
-
Galen had seen Tybalt get up with a start. He had seen him leave in a hurry for no apparent reason.
Weaponless, mildly eccentric, and desperate, all Tybalt had apparently strived for was to get home.
It had been several hours without his return now. Galen was starting to get somewhat worried about this new predicament as he sat in the ship processing the hise of the two killed incinerators.
Worried enough to go off immediately into the jungle to search for a deer who would just as likely be charred by a pack of incinerators as he might be alive? No. He had heard the slightest hint of commotion throughout the day, but he had attributed this to the wildlife.
What really caught his attention was the gunshot. A single shot, nothing more. But he knew for a fact that it meant that someone else was out there.
He prepped his gear, shifted to fullform to aid in speed, and darted into the forest as fast as possible. On him, he carried two new items: a small pouch of flint, and the bag made of the flesh of an incinerator, holding the creature's volatile fuel within. It could possibly come in use if he felt the need to level a good expanse of the forest.
The first scent that reached him was comprised of blood. Lots of blood, probably not all from one person, and definitely not all from one species.
He carried on in midform after he had passed the first several dozen trees.
-
((I'm not a doctor, but people who pass out from blood loss kinda-sorta need serious medical attention, right? XP Fout and Geoff may be a bit screwed. ))
((Also, that nap I had ended up a nearly-11 hour sleep. I wasn't even that tired! ))
((Now I'mma just wait for other people to pop in... *impatient flailing commences*))
(([flailing intensifies]))
-
((Same boat Evna... on all 3 counts XP ))
((*Flails*))
-
(don't know when I can get on. have something going on today. I am passed out just go on without me for now)
-
((Ya know what?: https://youtu.be/C-oNWtAKNfk?t=2m18s ))
Geoff began to regain consciousness. He opened his eyes to find himself laying on his stomach in the base, where the limping Chains managed to drag him to safety. Splotches of blood littered the ground around him. His overworked body felt heavy and sore, the slices and bite marks burned, but he tried his best to ignore all of that. He glanced up to see Chains sleeping soundly with a hastily-made splint. But he didn't see Fout.
Fout ran ahead of them. He should have arrived here before they did. Perhaps he went out to do something, though he was in no condition to so. He had to stay and rest... unless...
Panic setting in again, Geoff struggled to push himself onto his feet. He finally managed it, and after checking on Chains, he hobbled out of the base. He nearly tripped over as he got to the entrance, but grabbed onto the wooden wall's edge. He stepped out and called out for Fout repeatedly, pausing to listen closely for an answer.
((Alright :3 ))
-
Fout opened his eyes... he thought he could hear his name being called... he wanted to call back... but then he remembered the roar.
"ge... Ge... Geoff..." Fout stammered... knowing no-one could hear him
He looked at his arm... he had to stop the bleeding. He grabbed some leaves off the ground, and managed to cover the wound. stopping the bleeding... "I... I need to get back to base..."
-
Geoff awkwardly ran further out and continued to call. He hoped Fout just got lost, but he feared the worst. If he was still conscious out there, he needed to signal him and let him know where to go.
He took a breath and let out a roar, the tail-end of it turning into more of a wail.
Legs weak and shaky, he let himself softly fall to his knees. He had never been so scared for someone's safety before. And if Fout felt as bad as he did...
((I should note that, because he's a bear, the roar shouldn't be confused with anything else.
Just in case. :P ))
-
Fout heard Geoff's roar. what was he thinking? what next? going to start shooting again?! Fout forced himself to his feet. he felt lightheaded, and leant against the tree for support. He then started moving towards the Roar.
Now I am being dumb... going towards the bear with a death-wish...
-
((It wasn't meant to be that loud. D: ))
Geoff sat on his knees, hands against the ground, waiting.
-
I awoke, looking around me. I was a little confussed of where I was; but, I was able to quickly figure where I was.
"Geoff," I call out.
( I am able to be on for a few minutes before I have to go.)
-
"I'm here," Geoff called weakly, not turning his head.
-
Zaida had left, she left the tent, pelts, and weapons for Xiu but she could not stay. Her ears perk when she heard the roar, but at the same time Zaida stopped looking around seeing tree's destroyed, rocks broken, and dried blood. She got to her knees and smelled some of the dark grey blood before huffing. "Rolo..." She said under her breath
-
Fout staggered a little further. He looked at his arm. What the hell, I am going to die if SOMEONE does not find me anyway...
"GEOFF" Fout yelled, as loud as he could
-
I quickly get up and hobble to the floot, the splint making it quite hard to bend the knee. I look out and spot Geoff on his knees.
-
Geoff's ear twitched as he heard the voice. His eyes widened.
"FOUT!"
He pushed himself up and ran awkwardly in the direction it came from.
-
Zaida heard them scream and looked about walking to the source.
-
I look to the ground and huff a little, I couldn't run after the vioce, not with my leg broken and in this splint. I walked back to the base and sat down.
-
Fout's vision is a blur, so much so he almost runs right into Geoff, who is coming the other way.
"Geoff?!"
-
Geoff ran up to Fout and wrapped an arm around him, patting him on the back, unintentionally staining his shirt with blood from his wounds.
"There you are. L-Let's go."
He helps Fout head back to the base.
"A-are you okay?"
-
"My arm... cut deep... passed out from bloodloss..."
Fout looked at Geoff "What were you thinking? it could just as easily have been the cannibals that found you, I might have been dead!"
-
I tried to stay awake as I sat, I was fighting a fight to stay concious.
-
"I-I honestly didn't think about that... but it wasn't and you're alive, so that's a non-issue. We need to take care of ourselves right now..."
They arrive at the base. A smile of mixed emotions spread on his face.
"Welcome home... D-don't mind the mess, I'll get to that later..."
-
I look up, my vision hazy.
"Welcome back fout." I say
-
Fout nodded. "Yea... I need to sort the jammed door out... actually lets just remove the vine I added... its not like we are all going to leave together anytime soon..."
Fout looked over at chains. "Are... are you OK?"
-
Zaida approached the deer. "Foolish... All of you Furries are foolish..." She scowls. "No one fights the king of cannibals..." She huffed helping the deer up.
-
"I should be fine, wont be moving around for a while." I say looking at my splint leg.
-
Geoff removed the vine, then stepped back in, shutting the door. He plopped onto his rear by the others.
"Okay... I know, n-nothing, about first aid, so if anyone here does..."
((Who's Tuvalu? XP ))
-
"I can smell his blood and the other furs blood..." She huffed "come on..." She says helping him.
-
((Probably a friend of agnders! XP ))
Fout shook his head as well. "I only know the very basics..."
-
"I'm not sure," I say.
-
I lost the fight with conciousness.
(Ill be back latter today.)
-
"O-okay, so all i know is that we need to clean and cover our wounds, but we don't have any water or... really, much of anything... I think we need to sacrifice part of our clothing... for bandages..."
-
"Some leaves also work..." Fout says, gesturing at his arm. "You have to sort of... weave them..."
-
"Okay... Chains gathered leaves for that hat. I hope there's enough left over in here..."
-
"I do not know yet... Need to find the laku bush" she said softly as she walked through the jungle
-
Fout stumbled over, and grabbed a handful. "Guess I can thank his hat for saving us now..." Fout passes some to Geoff, then stumbles over to Chains
-
She saw a cave with a wooden door still carrying the deer. She then knocked the door while her tail held tybalt up still
-
Geoff saw the leaves, but wrinkled his nose at them. They really didn't seem fit for bandages. Plus, he was clumsy at weaving under normal circumstances--tenfold now--and he needed to cover these wounds quickly.
In haste, he turned and bit at the sleeve of his shirt and ripped it a bit, then continued ripping the rest off with his hand and claw. He bit and clawed and ripped it into strips. This would have been much easier with his pocket knife, but right now that was long gone. He had to find that later, as soon as his group healed a bit.
He did the same with the other sleeve. That left enough strips for his major wounds, as well as for Fout's wound if or when he needed it.
Geoff began tying the strips onto his arms, aided by his teeth. He jolted when the door was knocked.
-
Fout Sighed. "Guess the wooden wall does look kinda conspicuous..." Fout moved over, and called out. "WHO ARE YOU?"
-
"Zaida" she hissed. "Open, the deer is hurt." She said with a strong and serious tone having one of tybalts arm on her shoulder and her tail holding his other arm since he dragged his feet.
-
"'The deer'" Geoff muttered to himself. He continued tying the bandages.
-
Fout opened the 'secret' door, a Jagged hole opening in the wall of planks.
"Zaida... I... err..." Fout shifted uncomfortably
-
Zaida moved past him setting tybalt down, holding a serious face and her ears laid back before looking at fout waiting for what he would say. "Go, explain"
-
"I Just did not expect to see you here is all..." Fout said.
-
"No? This is my home... It should not be surprising..." She spoke perfect English but only held an accent.
-
Geoff finished bandaging his worst wounds, leaving a couple strips left over. He wasn't as concerned with the rest, which had slowed their bleeding. He turned to face their guests.
"H-hello..."
-
"Well... make yourself at home..." Fout said. "Its... not much yet... but we have plans..."
-
She picked up a arrow from her old tribe looking at it with fear. "Zardoff knows your here..." She said with a concerned face.
-
"which one is he" Fout asked. "The big guy who was shot and still lives. or the guys who tried to kidnap us?"
-
"Probably the latter," Geoff stated, remembering how Rolo attacked the tribesmen who captured them.
"I don't think the lion was looking for us at first."
-
"Kidnap... You have not seen him yet... He is very dangerous. When I escaped I was nearly dead... Worse then your conditions..." She said silently dropping the arrow, she looked at tybalt being silent before speaking. "Because I'm a highly intelligent species..." She turned back to Geoff. "No any furry he hears he will rush to eat..." She said.
-
Fout sighed. "Is the deer going to be ok?"
((I have to go for 20 mins, continue talking without me if you want, don't start any big scenes though, I will be back in only a short while anyway :3 ))
-
"I don't know much about his wounds, I didn't stop to check..." She replied.
-
Any furry he hears, he will rush to eat. So the lion guy and his warriors were after their meat, not just their lives.
Speaking of eating, Geoff remembered they still need to find a proper food source. They should stay nourished if they wanted to heal properly. After that first screw-up of his, he never wanted to be hungry while caught in battle ever again. And now there was no doubt that another struggle was soon to come...
-
Fout staggers over to Tybalt. "You... OK?" Fout looks at the broken antler, and winces.
-
"There is a ship I thought could be used to... You have seen it already..." Fout grinned. "I reckon it can still float if we repair it..."
-
"We cannot leave... Monsters roam the water... Bigger than that ship..." Her ears went down and she sighed. "They are also not friends... I was disowned" she says ashamed "I am..." She stopped. "Was Zardoff's daughter"
-
((Tuvalu returns!))
Geoff looked down at the ground. Disowned. He kinda knew the feeling.
-
"His... his men, they... marked me with something..." Fout showed the Tattoo "I... assume its not a good thing"
-
Zaida looked at his arm. "It shows your an intruder... No matter what you do they will not give up to capture or kill you... Or it may be a marking of a slave..." She says. "I have not been in a tribe for so long, I have gotten confused with them. It might catch up to me... But I'm positive its intruder marking" She says softly then shows whips on her arm and some on her back "this shows I'm disowned..."
-
Ray stepped out of the bushes, a little bloodied and battered. He heard someone talking, and started towards it.
-
"Well... either way... not an issue... not the first time I have had a bounty on my head..."
Fout yelped. "I left the door open!" He hurries to shut it.
-
Ray heard a door shut, and ran to it. He found the door, and started knocking, gently. "H-Hello?"
-
Fout jumped as the door was knocked on. "Zaida" Fout whispered "Do you know this person?"
Fout then looked scared at the deer. "I... I... I don't want to hurt you... I want to leave as well..."
-
Zaida huffed. "Fine you can leave... But I won't risk my life anymore for you deer." She warned and sat down thinking about her tribe, maybe they changed, she could join but fear took over they would kill her, torture her... She sighed and just though deeply before fout said her name. "..." She listened to the voice and nods. "Yes I met him once... A raccoon"
-
Fout opens the door. "he... hello?"
-
Ray blinked. "N-No time, can I come inside?"
-
Zaida stayed silent. "You can leave, i will stay..." She said simply and leaned on the wall. Her hands placed on her knee's as she sat
-
Fout pointed to his arm, and chains broken leg. "you... you run if you want... We have to heal..." He gestures at ray to come in...
-
Geoff, who stayed silent and listened, began to feel a little uncomfortable with having all the people visit at this vulnerable time, but maybe it was a good thing they were there. Maybe they should stay with more people until they healed up. If the tribes were to come after them again, they wouldn't stand much of a chance in their condition.
-
Fout opened the door. and gestured for Tybalt to leave
-
Geoff broke his silence and growled.
"Calm the hell down! Christ!"
-
Zaida just rested her head on her knee's blocking out tybalt, everything was silent. She sighed and rubbed her head trying to get rid of the headache she had. ((BBS school stuff :T ))
-
Geoff simply stared at him, not intimidated by the threat.
-
Ray stepped inside. "If you keep carrying on like this, the tribal's will find us." He sighed. "Though...pretty sure they were following me."
-
Fout shrank back away from Tybalt. "Zaida... can you... tell him to stop?"
-
Ray flipped his revolver around, holding the barrel towards himself. "I'll knock him out if he keeps it up."
-
Zaida huffed with anger ramming Into tybalt making new him fall to the floor. "Leave!" She hissed with a strong loud voice which was hard for her since her voice was naturally soft and quiet. "No one wishes to have you here, if you want to run, then run!" She sighed looking at Ray. "I think you should save that" she says back in a calm and soft voice. "It may be useful for your safety..."
-
Geoff tried to keep a straight face at Tybalt, but failed. He smiled, struggling to hold back laughter.
Once Tybalt was knocked down, he laughed even harder.
-
I slowly open my eyes and sit up. I must have sat up to fast because my legs burst with pain.
"AH!" i exclaim holding my broken leg.
-
Alerted, Geoff held up his hands.
"Woah, hold on now."
He helped lift himself up with one hand, then raised it up again. "Hold on now, we don't need to fight. We're both beat up enough already..."
-
"Besides I would win..." She spat. "Killed many furs two times larger than this deer" she said before walking over to a rock sighing and sat down cooling herself off.
-
Fout backed away further. "P...please... we don't need to fight"
-
Zaida looked at tybalt with a serious expression. "Don't you get near him nor touch him, deer" she huffed the warning her voice quiet and cold.
-
Geoff kept his eyes on the deer. "I wasn't laughing at your pain, I was laughing at you falling... I wasn't the one who made a threat, so let's just relax a-and take a break from the action, alright?"
-
Fout shut his eyes... sighed... and then opened them again.
"Deer... I think your an idiot..."
Fout backed away towards the open door.
-
Zaida got ready to get up if it was needed. She kept her threatening eyes locked on tybalt
-
Geoff backed up and prepared to defend himself.
"Look, bud, it's a bad time to fight. We can have a brawl some other time, just not now. Please..."
-
Fout nervously (Glad now that Tybalt had not heard him) walks over to the deer. and crouches down beside him "anything... anything I can do to... help?"
-
Geoff kept his eyes on the deer, still keeping his distance. He felt a bit sorry for the poor guy.
He spoke softly. "H-hey... it's alright... I know things are a bit tense right now, but we can't take it out on ourselves."
-
Ray sighed, and shook his head. "So...it's only been a few days, and we've already got one who's lost his mind. Great. Bodes well for the rest of us, huh?"
-
Fout nervously hugged back.
-
I look at the group still holding my broken leg.
"What's going on?"
-
Geoff plopped back down on the floor with a huff and retyed a loose bandage. He about had it with this place...
-
Zaida leaned to the wall and huffed a bit aggravated and rubbed her head. "I need to go to that temple..." She mumbled to herself.
-
I was getting tired of being ignored
"Um, hello?"
-
Geoff didn't feel like talking, but that would be rude to his friend.
"Hey Chains," he spoke with a rough, but quiet voice. "Are you feeling alright?"
-
(Sorry for being absent for so long, my phone didnt have a signal where i was.)
I looked to Geoff,
"Leg hurts, i don't know if it is placed right either." i said still holding my leg the pain had gone down a bit.
-
"Yeah... just try to keep off it for a while..."
Geoff smiled at him. "And... thank you. For everything... we'd be screwed without you."
-
"No problem," i say
"I'm not your average bounty hunter."
Something struck me then, i start patting my chest then start looking aeound frantically.
"Where is it?"
-
"Where's what?"
-
"My chain!" i exclaim, "I can't find it!"
-
"Sssh--"
Geoff slouched and rested his face in his hands. He exhaled.
"we'll... have to find it later. It's too dangerous for us to go out now..."
-
I slump back.
"Hey, is zaida still here?" i ask.
-
Fout started to hug Tybalt properly. he felt sorry for the deer.
-
"I am, why do you ask?" Zaida says lifting her head to chains.
-
Fout listened intently, still hugging Tybalt.
-
I look to zaida,
"You think you can do me a favor?"
-
"What is the favor?" She raised a brow at him curiois for what the favor would.
-
Fout looked at Tybalt confused, but also wide eyed. "wha... what... do you mean?" He asks, just loud enough for Tybalt to hear
-
Geoff glanced at Fout, curious about what Tybalt had said to him. But it was none of his business, at least he hoped as much.
Tired, dazed, and in pain, he could barely care. There was so much they had to worry about. Too much. He didn't know where to start. He gripped at his head.
-
((Tybalt just told me he has to go, and is giving me his char for now! :o ))
Tybalt did not respond, Fout and Tybalt went to sit with the others. "Erm... what did I miss..." Fout asks.
-
"Chains lost his chain," Geoff replied. "And I need to find my knife... and my spear... and..."
He exhaled, overwhelmed. "... and I just... I don't know..."
-
"I must leave soon..." She said dosing off to the door, deep in thought.
-
Geoff's ears perked up.
"Z-Zaida... uh, I..." he paused.
"... Do you think we should...stick with you again? I mean... we're wounded pretty bad, and if Zardoff sends more people to get us... or if the lion guy attacks..."
-
Fout looked at Tybalt... he had not said a word since he whispered to Fout...
"I... I agree... we need to stay safe after all..."
-
"I do not make choices for others... You both can decide on your own" she says lightly. "I will soon go back to Xiu and go to the abandon temple."
-
Geoff nodded and smiled lightly. "Then, for sure. Thank you, Zaida."
-
"How many other tribes are there..." Fout asked. "are any of them friendly?"
-
She stays silent for a moment of thinking. "I'm afraid not.... Unless you were born into the tribe then yes but if your another tribal... Or intruder which is technically the same... They will attack, kill, torture, or have you as a slave..." She says. "I know from experience or studies"
-
"oh..." Fout looks at his feet. "on the plus side, I see no reason to cover my tattoo then... not going to make any difference if all the tribes are the same..."
-
"And, it looks pretty cool, honestly." Geoff said with a chuckle.
-
She nods. "But with that marking others will report to Zardoff even if they are other tribals" she warned. "So it's best to cover it with some bandage of some sort..."
-
Fout nodded, and cut a section from his trousers. he then wrapped it around his arm, covering the Tattoo. "Done."
-
(I am so sorry, I had no phone signal for a while :'( )
"Hey zaida, I seem to have missplaced my chain, you think you can help me find it?" I ask hobling to zaida.
-
((The suspense is killing me. D: ))
-
(I know, hehe XP )
-
((Sorry at a pizza place messing around :P ))
Zaida shrugs. "I do not know... Possibly, but it depends where it is... And who posses it" she spoke calmly.
-
"I should be able to use my nose to follow the scent to the fight zone. I don't think anyone has it right now." I said picking up a stick and using it as a walking stick.
-
"You just have to hope no-one stole it..." Fout says, concerned.
-
"Hey, I can take them." I say with pride.
-
"Are you sure because Rolo is not dead, herd his roar" Zaida then thought for a second. "I'm sorry... But is a chain the odd thing you had around your torso?"
-
"Yes, it is. Why, did you find it?" i asked hope growing in my eyes.
-
She put a finger to her mouth. "Yes... It was on a tree not to far from here. On a branch hanging down."
-
"What are we waiting for lets go!" I exclaim with energy almost running. I forgot that I had a broken leg and when I stepped down pain shot through my leg and I fell to the floor.
-
"Well good," Geoff said happily. "Now, I just need to find my kni--
He saw Chains tumble to the floor.
"Oh jeez, Are you okay?"
-
Zaida walks over helping him up with her tail. "We will just stay calm, we shall leave to the abandon temple now" she says to all of them
-
"I'm okay," I say picking up my stick and start hobling after Zaida.
-
Geoff followed, feeling a little more at ease.
-
Fout and Tybalt follow Zaida.
((I need to sleep... night. continue if you must, but don't do anything crazy to me and Tybalt, (Also keep them together, I might be controlling Tybalt for a while... :S ) ))
-
((Alright))
Zaida led the way. "We may need to stop to get Xiu... He might be sleeping... And still naked since I had to wash his clothing" she said with a awkward tone. "Any ways the chain shall be in our path soon"
-
"That's good." I reply
-
When they walked a short distance from the base, Geoff turned to grab the spear he left on the ground where he collapsed, then rejoined the group. It was good to have just in case...
-
*xiu sighs as he was wrapped in a blanket*
-
Zaida stopped at a tree and points. "There.." She grabbed the chain and handing it over to chains.
-
"Thank you." i say with a sigh as I take my coat off. Looping my chain around i hang it around my torso and put my trench coat back on.
-
She nods to his response "Now we must hurry, we must get Xiu then go to the abandon temple... It will fit all of us." She said growing closer to the pond where the tent was set up.
-
"Is this island in the bermuda triangle?" I ask Zaida, thinking how the plain mysteriously crashed. The creatures that were supposed to be fairy tale stories.
-
"Similar... Just worse" she sighed. "Only those who crash see the odd creatures..." She arrived at the tent at the pond. "Xiu? Are you still sleeping?"
-
"Never knew there was something worse than the bermuda triangle." I say to myself
-
Ray, who had fallen asleep in the cave, failed to realize everyone had left. He awoke, and looked around. "Oh! Good...everyone's gone."
-
(Is everyone asleep? :? )
-
(I'd get back in but its far too late for that.)
-
((Not asleep... I'm busy sometimes.))
Zaida heard nothing in the tent. "That deer sleeps like a bear." She said. "Slept for nearly all yesterday and now most of today... Well you all can rest, if you like I can heal since laki bushes are here, especially water, and food" she said looking at the glowing blue water.
-
"I think I'll go to sleep." i said going to the pond.
(night everyone, can't stay awake right now.)
-
A few pools of blood. Several severed chords. Signs of a struggle. Galen found these in a dark clearing, but he had no idea where to go from there. Something had happened, probably involving an escaping group of people. He smelled something like Tybalt, but the rank stench of festering blood prevented him from finding a distinct direction to head off to next. He flew up into the sky above, searching for any signs of life. Something had gone horrible wrong. Or right. How could he know?
"HELLO?!" He yelled into the distance.
His call did not echo in the night.
-
Zaida gave a holler. "OVER HERE!" She said as her feet were dipped in the glowing pond as she rested a bit
-
Galen heard a distant response. Making haste towards the sound, he saw another open space holding a tent illuminated by a blue pool of water. He made a slowed landing with a soft thud and saw the sergal from several days ago.
"Hello. " he said.
-
"Greetings." She said looking at all the Furries resting but realized the raccoon had gone missing
-
"Hope you come to remember me from a few days ago." said Galen.
"Seems you ran off into some trouble. Was anyone injured critically?"
-
"I do, seen you quite a bit" she replied and nods "Some, but they need rest. I'll heal them as they sleep." She says fixing her Mohawk running a paw through it.
-
"Sounds good. I'm gonna go off hunting a bit. If you see any smoke, it's probably me. Wish me luck. "
Galen reached for his bow and started to string it.
-
Zaida huffed. "Smoke? You shouldn't be killing those" she mumbled quietly but didn't want to boss anyone around. She crawled into the tent and laid On the pelt.
-
Galen flew a good distance to a random nearby clearing. He nocked a broadbead once again and set off into the darkness.
-
*Xiu sticks his head from the pelt*"you're laying on me"
-
Zaida looked at him and rolled to the side. "I apologize, the other tents are being use" she stretched tiredly.
-
Geoff had fallen asleep. He was laying curled up on his side with the spear still in his rested hand, occasionally making grunting noises and lightly clenching the handle.
-
Fout and Tybalt were also asleep. slumped on opposite sides of a rock nearby.
-
((Since it's probably gonna be a bit before others pop on and I'm bored, I'mma make a lonely Geoff post wall))
Geoff woke up hopeful and content, strangely. Perhaps energized by the beauty of the glowing atmosphere. Perhaps it was foolish, but he felt very safe here.
Everyone else was still asleep. He pushed himself up to sit, wincing a little at the stress on his arms, then held the spear in both hands and rested it on his crossed legs. He smiled lightly as he surveyed it, thankful for its help during that chaos with the cannibals.
His actions back there felt like some glorified dream. There was no way a sheltered fool such as he was brave enough to leap from a tree onto a bunch of blood-thirsty lunatics. But he did. It seemed all that action changed him somewhat. He didn't feel like a ghost anymore, constantly stuck in his head and late to react to the distant outside world. Now he was alert and "on the ball", as they say.
He gazed at the bloodstained spearhead. He should probably clean all that off if he can. But maybe he should keep it, for it probably made it even more deadly for any enemies that manage to escape... Eh, that's just silly. He could use it for other things. Maybe he could try at spearing some fish in the pond...
Fish. His stomach growled. That unicorn meat they were fed was far from enough to fuel all that running and fighting, nor was it enough to heal his beat-up body.
"Aw, I know..." he spoke softly, in a tone as if calming an upset child.
Geoff walked to the pond's edge, occasionally narrating and talking to himself, which he often did whenever he was happy and no one was listening. He knelt down and repeatedly cupped water in his hand to splash on the spear and try to scrub off the blood with one of the strips from his shirt. It felt wrong to ruin the glowing pond with cannibal juice.
"It's really on there, huh...?"
He grit his teeth and scrubbed. He eventually got it as clean as it could get. He lifted the spear a tad and peered at his work.
"Good enough."
He stood up and held the spear in position to strike any fish that wander to the edge. He was about to spear one, when he realized it wasn't a normal fish, but one of those goofy colorful fish-lizard things like he caught the last time he was here, but this one was a little bigger.
A quick splash was heard nearby. He looked over to see another one had jumped out of the water. This one was smaller and had a teal diamond-shaped mark on its snout, just like the one he caught. He wondered if it was the same one.
The bigger fish-lizard suddenly leaped out of the water and lashed out at the smaller one. They circled and jumped about, making weird screeching noises and clawing at each other. Diamond-snout was trying to flee, but the other kept leaping on, slashing and gnawing at it.
"Hey!" Geoff growled and knocked the big fish-lizard off with his spear handle, minding his strength against the little thing. The creature hissed and dove back into the water.
Diamond-snout froze and looked at Geoff, tilting its head.
Geoff smiled at it. "Aw, it's no problem. No need to thank me."
He sat back down and watched the critter slowly and curiously approach as it made a quiet, rapid "bloop" noise.
It set its tiny hand on his leg and gazed up at him.
"Hi there."
Geoff carefully moved his hand closer to the critter, trying his best not to startle it, and gently pet its head with his finger. It closed its eyes and pushed its head into it, clearly enjoying the pets while making the noise.
"'Aww yeah, dat's good, dat's good'," Geoff voiced with a chuckle.
The critter crawled up on his leg and laid down. Geoff continued to pet it on the back, grinning with joy.
-
I woke up with a snort. I sat up keeping mind of my broken leg. I started to yawn and stretch. I looked at the splint of wood and the excess leaves I used for my hat and noticed that it was getting loose. I reached to the spilt and started to tighten it up.
-
Geoff still played with the fish-lizard, unaware that Chains had woken up.
"Aw, are you my friend now?" Geoff asked the critter. He lifted it up, and it gripped at his thumb.
"I'mma call you Bloop. 'Cause you like to bloop!"
-
I finished tightening up my splint when I heard someone talkings. It sounded like Geoff, getting up I started to hobble over to the pond. I saw Geoff playing with a strange lizard thing. hobbling over to Geoff I sat down.
"what you got there?" I ask.
-
Geoff was slightly startled for a moment, but relaxed. "Oh!"
"I have no idea. But its my friend now. Its name is Bloop. Listen."
He tried to hold the critter closer to Chains so he could hear the quiet "blooping", but it stopped making the noise.
Geoff made a goofy annoyed face. "Oh, okay, don't listen."
He held it close to himself again, continuing to pet it. "Ya lil' goof. Making me look dumb."
-
"Looks interesting," I say as I reach out to touch the creater now named Bloop.
-
Bloop stayed still as Chains pet it.
"I guess it's happy I saved it from an aggressive one."
-
"I see." I say not taking my eyes off of bloop. pulling my hand away, I start looking around noticing the others still asleep.
"I see we are the only ones awake."
-
"Yeah. I've been up for a while."
((Oh god, I think I scared everyone off with my massive post. D: ))
-
"couln't sleep," i asked picking some rocks from the ground and throwing it into the water.
-
((I Am here, but I don't want to post much... am busy in a game with RL friends I don't see often...))
-
((I don't think so, Ev.))
Ray ran through the forest, panicking. He wasn't sure where he was, and hoped he could get to the others.
-
((Yeah, everyone comes back when I make a comment. XD ))
"Nah, I slept fine... I had a weird dream, I think. Can't remember much. I was running from something."
-
I turned to Geoff, interested in the dream.
"Is that so?" I ask
-
"Yeah. Probably had something to do with all that craziness," Geoff said. "In all honesty... I'm surprised I haven't had a nightmare that stuck with me, after everything..."
-
"Every thing has been crazy since we have been here. I have almost been killed by a giant lion with wings." I say looking at the water again.
-
Geoff looked over to the rock where Fout and Tybalt lay, and raised his eyebrows as he saw the latter had left at some point. He was probably too distracted by the fish-lizard to notice. That poor deer was likely going to get himself killed at some point. But that was none of his business.
Geoff set Bloop down and continued to spear fish in the pond.
-
I watched geoff spear fish.
"You know, I feel so useless right now." I say looking down at my splint leg.
-
"Don't worry about it. You did most of the work back with the warriors and lion guy. Take this time to relax."
"I'm surprised I'm managing this so well myself, to be honest..."
-
"Yeah, I guess you're right" I say watching the horizon as the sun rises all the way.
-
Geoff caught six fish before setting the butt of his spear on the ground and exhaling, rubbing his belly.
"Alright, that should be enough. Now let's get some food in us."
-
I get up and start hobbling after Geoff.
"we need a fire to cook the fish."
-
"Yep. You can take care of that." Geoff said.
-
"um... how, I can barley stand let alone cut a tree down."
-
"Well, we can just use sticks," he giggled. "No need to cut an entire tree down. I'll help."
-
I nodd, I hobble to a nerby tree and start breaking branches off.
-
Geoff carried the branches Chains collected, as well as ones he found on the ground. When they gathered enough, he walked back and set them up for the fire.
"You can light it up. You're pretty good at it."
-
I dig into my pocket and pull out some flint and steel I had found, I struck them. Leaning over I started blowing on the tinder till I had a sizable flame going.
-
Geoff happily brought the fish over to cook.
"Ohhh, do I love fish~"
-
sitting down in front of the fire I nod to Geoff.
"Yes, I like fish as well."
-
He began cooking the fish, grinning.
"I could eat all these fish if I let myself," he joked.
-
I lay down looking at the sky through the trees.
"I wish there was a way off this island,"
-
Zaida woke up and yawned. She was hugging Xiu. She blushed before she looked out and saw the sun was out. She got up and quickly got dressed and exits the tent seeing the others.
-
"Yeah... Well, if the natives weren't an issue... I think this place is better than my 'home'. It's just..."
He shook his head. "Those natives. And those... c-creepy monster things... Everything else seems quite nice..."
Geoff turned to Zaida. "Oh hey, Zaida. Uh... want some fish?"
-
She shook her head. "I'm fine." She closed the tent up for Xiu and sat down with the others.
-
"morning" I say not taking my eyes off the sky.
-
Geoff looked at Zaida. "I... think I heard you say you can heal last night. What did you mean?"
-
"I healed you up when you all slept, then went to sleep" she says lightly dipping her feet in the pond.
-
"so what, my leg isn't broken?" I asked a little skepticl.
-
"Wait... what..."
Thinking about it now, he didn't feel hurt anymore. Somehow it didn't register at first. But that must have been why he was in such a good mood...
He untied one of his bandages to reveal... nothing. Healed.
"Oh... wow..." He began to laugh. "Oh wow... I didn't even notice! I'm so dumb!..."
-
"It will heal faster and won't have pain." She then nods when geoff realized. She fixed her messy Mohawk, her fingers running through it.
-
"I see." I said
-
Fout lurched awake. he glanced around at the camp, and leaned on his injured arm... to discover it was not injured. Surprised, but also relieved, he staggers over to the group. "Anyone seen the deer?" He asks
-
"Xiu, or tybalt? Of so Tybalt just disappeared and Xiu was sleeping in the same tent as me" she says looking back at angder as her ears were listening to her surroundings.
-
Fout shook his head sadly. "I... I doubt we will see him again then..."
-
"you would think it would be safer to stick together." I say sitting up.
-
"Don't worry. We might run into him again," Geoff told Fout.
He grabbed a cooked fish and began eating hungrily. "Come have some fish."
-
"I get up and hobble over to the pile of cooked fish, picking one up I start eating.
"Not bad." I said taking another bite.
-
Fout moves over and eats some fish. "Not likely" Fout says. "well... We need to stick together..."
-
Zaida was looking at the map. "It may take a few days to arrive at the abandon temple..." She explains.
-
Geoff sat dreamily, eating his fish.
"This is the pond I was talking about," he said to his crew. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"That's... a long journey," he said to Zaida.
-
"I guess." I said sitting down next to Geoff.
-
Fout stood up. "I am going to follow where you guys go... see no reason to hang around..."
-
Geoff nodded in agreement. "Sounds fun."
-
(I will be gone for a bit.)

(I will be gone for a bit.)
-
Zaida stood. "Then we must pack." She says. "If we leave now, we'll get at least halfway."
-
I nodd, and stand.
"What should i do?"
-
After finishing his fish, Geoff eyed the rest for a minute before awkwardly reaching over to grab another one and ate it. There were still two more for whoever wanted them...
Then he heard Zaida's words. "Oh."
Well, he wasn't going to leave perfectly good food behind. He hoped his friends would take them, but if not...
-
"You can help hold the medical items, and some tools" she said to chains. She then looked at Geoff. "Is something wrong"
-
"No, nothing is wrong. Why do you ask.?" i asked picking up the medical supplies.
-
Fout stood up. "Maybe... I should go ahead... make sure there is not an ambush waiting?"
-
((Oops I meant Geoff :S ))
"If you like" she said to angder "here is a map, take the blue trail, I already know by heart which way to go"
-
(Just reLised you were talking to geoff there, hehe.)
-
"Oh, uh, nothing's wrong. Why?"
-
She shook her head. "Nothing, just thought something was wrong is all" she said lightly.
-
I hobble over to zaida, tools and medicals in hand
"I'm ready."
-
Geoff shrugged sheepishly... and grabbed another fish. Looked like no one was interested. He ate it hastily.
-
Galen, smelling of smoke and covered in ash, walked into the sunlight illuminating the encampment set up by the group. He had a face of weary pride, as he had learned well how to hunt at least one of the smaller, yet definitely dangerous creatures of this island based off their predatory and behavioral habits. He sat down by a tree and began to process the various tissues of the two incinerators. He realized that although the hunting of these hazardous animals was not the best source of food, the various applications of their products would be somewhat useful if they came across conflict in the future. He began the long and tedious task with an extention of the claw on his left forefinger, followed by a smooth incision along the underbelly of one of the carcasses.
He did not pay much attention to the ongoing conversation a few meters away.
(I do not know how much I will be able to provide a constant contribution to ongoing events today. Apologies. I will do my best.)
-
Fout looked at the map, and set out... alone, staying hidden in the undergrowth, going ahead to check for traps.
-
Geoff noticed Fout went ahead already. He hadn't paid attention to the conversation about traps and whatnot. He stood up and went out to join him, not before grabbing his spear and the last fish.
"One for the road," he muttered to himself.
-
Fout vanished into the undergrowth, out of sight of Geoff
((I need to go for a while... will be back in 2 hours or so. :L ))
-
Geoff couldn't see where Fout went. He frowned. Fout shouldn't be going off alone like that. What if some tribesman got a hold of him?
Then again, Fout probably knew what he was doing. He should leave him be. Chances are he might put Fout into more danger if he followed.
Geoff huffed and walked back toward the rest of the group. He looked at the fish in his hand. He was quite full now, but he'd feel kinda silly holding it while hiking around. He had to think about this...
-
I hobble to geoff,
"What ya doing over hear."
I look down and notice geoff had a fish in his hand,
"You going to eat that?" I asked pointing to the fish.
-
"You want it?" Geoff handed it over, smiling awkwardly.
-
I grab the fish anf start wating,
"So what ya doijg over here?" i ask with a mouthful od fish.
-
"I was trying to follow Fout, but I couldn't find him."
-
Zaida walked into the tent gathering the items. She hummed lightly to herself while doing so.
-
"I see" i said.
-
Fout kept going, heading about half way, he kept an eye on the path, looking for any trip wires, traps, or, of course, any sets of Tribes-people laying in wait.
((Just to be clear I am back))
-
I walk pass the tent and coukd hear humming. Looking inside i found zaida packing stuff up.
"Hey, is that you humming?"
-
She nods and stops looking back. "Yes it is, why do you ask"
-
"Just wondering, sounds nice" i said sitting at one end of the tent.
-
"I suppose, Thank you" she says rewrapping her arm wound up calmly since the old one bled through.
-
"What happened to your arm?" I ask noticing the wound as zaida rebandaged her arm.
-
Fout discovered quite a few traps, they seemed to be simple traps designed to catch animals rather than Furs... he notes down where they are, and then moves on, not wanting to alert those who set them by disarming them at this stage...
-
"Father" she says simply. "Doesn't hurt, just bleeds" she responds softly
The trail was quiet but a bit odd to be this quiet.
-
"Your father did this to you?!" I exclaim.
-
Fout continued on, staying in the bushes, pausing every now and again to listen.
-
She nods. "Yes he did" she responds calmly.
Animals went a little quiet also, although the large animals continued to Roam without fear.
-
Fout looked ahead on the trail. if he went much further it would be a struggle to get back before they leaved. he nodded to himself and started to head back. he was less cautious now, after all, he had not seen anything on the path when he was coming the other way...
-
"How could your own father do such a thing!" i was actually getting quit pissed now, my voice was getting louder.
-
She shrugs "I don't remember" she says rubbing a scar on her head. "I fell down the mountain... And he chased me but once I was safe and I fell asleep I forgot"
-
"You forgot?" i said confused now.
-
"Yes I only remember he hurt me and the tribals attacked but I don't remember I hit my head and lost blood... It made my memory a blur" she said
-
Geoff was by the pond's edge, playing with Bloop again, when he heard Chains's angry voice. He looked back and stood up to check what was up. Bloop climbed up his arm and sat on his shoulder as he walked over.
He heard Zaida's explanation, then stopped walking.
-
A particularly large creature like a boar crossed with an elephant, moved across the trail, Fout avoided it by climbing a tree, he looked around for any major landmarks while he was up there...
He was not far from the camp anymore. and had very little to report. He guessed that was a good thing... right?
((GOing to sleep, night all, be on in the morning))
-
"It doesn't matter" she says simply. "At least I am not dead." She said in calm soothing voice.
-
"Your father should hope he never meets me." i growl clenching my fists.
-
"It should be the opposite..." She warned. "He's two times taller than you and stronger... And Just because he is a tribal it doesn't mean he is stupid... He's actually very intelligent, He even can speak better English than me and such...sometimes prefers himself to be a god" She said quietly with her ears laid back. "He has killed many other survivors..."
-
"Well, he's never met me. I say codly
-
She shrugs "well I don't want to meet him..." She says. "I don't want to find out what he will do" she says finally packed. "We shall leave now" ((I'm just going to suppose everyone's following))
-
fout stumbles into camp just before Zaida leaves, he reports what he has seen.
"Too quiet." he comments
-
"...I'm sure we'll be fine... Besides I know a few things to get rid of them"
-
Fout nods "Ok then..."
((Yes I should be sleeping, I am not cos reasons :$ ))
-
I start following Zaida, quit a bit behind because of my broken leg.
-
Geoff followed, spear in hand and fish-lizard on shoulder, staying by Chains to make sure he doesn't fall.
-
Fout also followed.
-
((I'm here whenever someone pops in. ))
-
((I am to))
-
(hello ^_^ ))

"you know what we need?" I ask
"we need some music." I say pulling a violin seemingly out of no where and start fiddling Irish music.
-
((I've been trying to put a little goofy comedy in to lighten the mood, and now you outdid me. XD ))
Geoff twitched his ears as he eyed Chains with confusion. "Wh--how'd you get that?"
-
"I made it." i said stopping long enough to answer. I went back to playing.
-
Geoff blinked. "Uhh, Okay..."
Smiling, he raised his spear and carefully twirled it in his hand as they walked.
He greatly enjoy listening to the music, but thought it might attract unwanted attention. He figured Zaida would say something if it were a problem.
-
I had a blast playing song after song, almost forgetting about the pain in my brocken leg. I hopped around trying to immitate riverdancing.
-
"Woah!" Geoff laughed and set his hand on Chains's shoulder.
"Settle down, there, you might hurt yourself!"
-
I stopped, "sorry, got a little to into the music." i said switching from irish to country.
"Yeeeeehaaaaa!" i exclaimed
-
Zaida was far from the group, she enjoyed staying ahead, she just watched out frantically
-
Fout was also ahead, though he remained hidden, as normal.
-
I started singing with my playing, putting on my best cowboy accent.
-
Geoff grinned while listening to the music and playing with his spear. He twirled it around, switching it between hands in front and behind his back. Bloop, which he almost forgot was accompanying him, held onto his shirt collar.
-
I was having fun and enjoying Geoff's company. It was like a little party back here. song after song, making things not so grim like it has been the past few days.
-
Fout looked over at chains and Geoff... He wondered if there actions were putting the group in danger...
He guessed they needed the moral boost though...
-
Zaida had blocked out the noise of the Furries, she simply listened to her surroundings. She then stopped before looking up the mountains, there was no way around but to climb over, she then began to hike up huffing a bit.
-
Fout also began to climb, he was aware they were more exposed up here... still, no-one had attacked them yet...
-
Geoff stopped messing around and helped Chains keep up with everyone.
-
I stop playing and look at the hill,
"Well this looks fun." i say woth fake enthusiasm.
Accepting geoff's help i start hobling up the hill.
-
Zaida saw smoke near the top of the hill, she smelled but it was off, something new? Definitely not food. "Hmm" looking down at the others she knew they would be fine, she began to run ahead towards the smoke, curious what it was.
Some vines began to grow faster just behind the other Furries but if they looked back or stopped the vines would also.
-
Fout looked back... they have stopped partying... thats good Fout crawled up the hill, actually keeping off the path, climbing up parallel to it
-
I looked up, just noticing fout hiding in the bushes looking back at geoff and me. The hike up the hile was made harder with my broken leg.

(Hello? :?)
-
((One calm down everybody, I can't roleplay all the time, and no we are not. We are still hiking to the abandon temple... Please do not become off-topic everyfur along with ask my questions in PM... Seriously))
Zaida held her nostrils and backed away as the plants gave off horrible fumes as it bared its... Teeth no... Thorns... What ever it was, and the sharp vines began to grab her, this was a new creature type plant. She began to struggle. "Go around, plants!" She tried yelling but her voice was cut off and she choked on the fumes.
((And sorry I've been a bit out of it today))
-
Galen heard a quick, suddenly ceasing, choking noise up ahead, coming from one of the group. He darted forward and saw a series of vines encirling the sergal, rapidly snaring and crushing her neck. His right hand darted to his hatchet, and after unsheathing it, he ripped the vines from Zaida with his left hand and moved to hack at the vines with deliberation, using his razor-edged claws when necessary, and continuing his assault on the plants until each writhing vine posed no thread to the sergal.
"This place is not safe." He said, half panting from the sudden exertion.
"Wherever we are going, it better be more secure than what we've seen so far."
He slid the blade of the hatchet along his pants to clean it of plant matter, before sheathing it at his hip.
(Apologies. I will take your preferrences into account.)
-
((Like I said I've been out of it, haven't been in the best mood nor health. Don't worry about it))
Zaida huffed. she huffed slashing the plants into small pieces till they were now dead or retreated. "You are the ones following me, it was your choice to come along. Do not complain." She said in a serious tone as she still made her way up the mountain with the Furries wincing a bit.
-
Galen huffed with a considerable air of frustration, before shifting to fullform to ease his ascent up the mountain. The air was cold for such a tropical environment, and the night sky was ablaze with starlight. It would have been a beautiful spectacle to behold under less hazardous circumstances.
-
Fout heard Zaida's yell, "Go around, plants" Fout glanced around, it was true the undergrowth was thinner up here, but at this exact moment he was in a fairly dense bush.
"Oh Crap"
-
The bush had already grabbed hold of him the thorns digging deep.
Zaida sat waiting for the others deep in thoight and leaning against a tree thorns stuck in her cuts and she quickly pulled them out.
-
Fout tried to yell, the bush pulled him to the ground. "Help..." he Croaked. "The bush... it's...." He tried to cut the branches with his claws, he had little trouble doing it, but he was cutting them one at a time, and the bush was grabbing him far faster than he could cut it, he could feel the thorns digging into him. If he did not get help... Fout started to panic, cutting at the bush with his claws increasingly fast...
-
I saw fout, noticing that he was in trouble. Breacking from Geoffs grip I managed to half hobble half run up to Fout and help cut the bush.
-
"What the hell?!"
Geoff rushed to do the same.
((I'm going to be a little distant from the computer throughout the day, so I may not post as quick.))
-
The bush began to grab the others it started releasing fumes that had the effects of dizziness, itchy throat, blurry vision, and such. The vines started to move faster and take down the others.
-
Strugling, I tried to get free. The bush was too quick for me, each branch I would pull off would be replaced another, but in numbers. I was also feeling really dizzy and my cordinations was getting worse with the passing time.
-
Geoff yelped and growled as the bush pierced him. Feeling the effects of the fumes, he struggled to free himself, desperately clawing and biting at the branches.
-
Fout tried to continue slashing but something had grabbed both his arms, pinning them down to the ground... he had trouble speaking, but tried to call for help once again. He could barely see, right in the middle of the bush and its fumes...
-
Galen pulled a small sack of incinerator fuel from his pack. He knew that it would have its use eventually, and apparently that "eventually" was now.
He slit an opening in the tough casing, threw the contents into the roots and general base of the vines, and struck a spark from his flint and the blade of his hatchet. A bright blue blaze erupted wherever the liquid made contact. It was not the best solution, but it would definitely work. The vines started to writhe and wilt as the intense heat vaporized their internal liquids. Those who were entangled might suffer slight burns from the minute drops of fuel, which may have made contact due to their proximity to the vines and the blaze.
-
I watched as the vines shribbled up around me. reliesing my arms and legs allowing me to move again. though the fumes were still making me very dizzy.
-
Fout just lay there, covered in the dying vines, and his own blood
-
All the fumes had overloaded my scence of smell, getting up I felt sick. As qiuickly as I could, I hobbled to a tree and proceeded to barf.
-
Galen stepped over to Fout, picking him up in his two hands and carrying him to the base of a nearby tree. He weighed surprisingly little compared to what might be expected, and Galen wondered what these people had been through in the past few days themselves. He set Fout down with a minor sound of exertion.
Turning to Zaida, he quickly said "I think it's a good idea if we settle in for now. We've got some problems to attend to."
-
I got up, shacking a bit. whipping my mouth of vomit I clumsily hobbled to a nearby tree and sat down. my breath short and heavy.
-
She stayed silent for a moment. "As you wish, I'll be at the tree's just near the meadow." She points. "I would like to be alone, you all can rest here..." She sets the bag down and walks to the meadow and sits down huffing creating mist to escape her mouth and her eyes glowed brightly.
-
Fout groaned as he was set down, obviously in pain.
-
I look up, still a little dizzy and look at fout.
"Ugh... What happened to him?" I moan, my stumack still flipping.
-
"Thorns I guess. Got pretty jacked up I think. No way to tell for sure though." Galen could smell the acrid tang of Fout's blood. The flow of blood had stopped, but that was all he could determine at the moment.
-
"That sounds bad." I say getting quite better.
-
Fout groaned, his arm shifting slightly. some of the dead vines were still wrapped around his arms and legs...
-
I look at the vines,
"I think you miss some." I say to Hollow.
-
Galen looked torwards Fout, who was showing some signs of activity. So there was that at least.
"Hey Fout, can you move? Did you break something?"
He ripped the remaining vines from around Fout's legs.
-
Fout seemed to shift his arms and legs, and then slowly, opened his eyes...
"I... Oww... I think I will just stay here a while..." He stammered. "I... I remember the bush almost... how... you saved me?"
FOut shrieked with pain as Gelen pulled the remaining vines from his legs.
-
"Sorry." said Galen with a wince of his own.
"They'd have to come off sooner than later considering the toxin. As for how I killed the vines... there's a species I've been hunting for a while. I call them incinerators. They seem to be a tree dwelling species that hunts by dropping down on prey and roasting it alive. I killed a few and took their meat and fuel."
He pointed around them at the scorched earth.
"As you can see, the fuel does good work with well... incinerating stuff."
-
"They burn there pray?" I asked, my head tilted to the side slightly.
-
Fout groaned. "I can barely see... and I have the worst headache imaginable... I... I am sorry I am not going anywhere without help..."
-
"Wish I could help, but I have my own problems." I say indicating to my broken leg.
-
Addressing Fout, he said "I guess I will carry you when we relocate eventually, considering you cannot walk. And yes Chains, they do burn their prey. And I was almost the aforementioned prey." He revealed his wings in a light blue haze to expose a hole burnt in one of his many flight feathers of his left wing.
-
"I... I think I can walk... I just" fout put a hand on his forehead "Oww... Sorry what was I say~? oh... yea I just can't tell where I am going as I can't see or think straight..."
-
I was actually surprised when hollow opened his wings. I never noticed he had wings. With a child like curiosity I got up and hobbled over to his wings and inspected the hole.
"Will it heal?" I ask.
-
Zaida listened to them and shook her head. Her Conscience beginning to make her think a bit more. ((Won't be on much... Ugh at an amusement park...))
-
"As you should probably know, feathers are composed of keratin, which regrows like hair and claws and nails. It will be replaced eventually." Galen's bronze medallion flared for a brief moment, and in another blue blaze his wings were gone.
-
"No... no-one minds if I sleep a little more... do you? I feel a little.... tired..." Fout seems to fall asleep. it is unclear if he is genuinely tired, or if this is an after-effect of the fumes.
((I need to sleep, night all :3 ))
-
Galen watched as Fout dropped like a log into the depths of sleep.
"Well... I guess we are setting camp here. Who's got the tent?"
-
"Um, I think Zaida or maybe Geoff has the tent, not sure." I say looking up from my inspection of Hollows wings.
-
Turning quickly to see the bloodied sergal, Galen shouted "Hey Zaida?! You have the tent?"
-
She kept her head to the floor her ears leaned back. Her eyes looked at them. "They are there in the bag..." She says softly.
-
I hobble over to Zaida,
"You okay?" I asked concerned, reaching down I touched her shoulder to get her attention.
-
Galen notices the bag designated by Zaida and begins the process of setting up the tent stored within.
-
Geoff had been silent, feeling the same way as Fout. He also fell asleep.
((Sorry, guys. I was laying in bed for a moment and fell asleep. X_x ))
-
"I am fine." She huffed. "I would like to be alone, I am thinking to myself..."
-
"Alright," I say leaving Zaida to her thoughts. Hobling to a different tree I sat down to think.
-
Zaida had noticed a hole in the tree and scooted in, her tail wrapping on her she then murred as she closed her eyes.
((I am now in a train at castle park with my baby cousins XD I'm there favorite!! Hah))
-
(Castle park, never heard of it. :? )
-
((It's not really a common amusement park, it's small don't think there is many))
-
(where is it? sounds interesting)
I sat, thinking of all the things that had happened today. Was pretty fun with the party, until the vines.
-
((Well the one I'm at is in the city I live in Riverside, California, don't know where others are :? ))
Zaida had fallen asleep, memories booming back. She was falling off the mountain, the air whistled as she fell from the high climate her arms in the air trying to get a hold of something but she continued to fall her father becoming a speck while he stood on a ledge as he watched her hit rocks and trees until water was all around and bubbles escaped her mouth and she tried to swim but she was too weak as well as the currents making it harder and continued to hit rocks the water now red around her. She gasped away and panted since she held her breath due to her realistic memory. She had these problems with sleeping but sighed simply watching the dark sky light up with stars
-
I watched Zaida, what ever was on her mind was really bothering her. I really wanted to help, but she didn't seem to want any. I huffed a sigh looking up at the starry sky. I remember doing this with my brothers when we used to do missions together. Each night we would stay up just to star up and admire the beautiful night sky before going to bed. I smiled at the memory, hopefully I will be able to get off this rock and see them again.
-
Moving through the dense jungle Alistair groaned to himself, smaller prey animals avoiding him when he snarled or just moved in general. His blood soaked muzzle indicated he had been out hunting as of recent, but had no kill between his jaws.
-
Geoff, who stayed laying where he was when the bush burned up, woke up suddenly, but still felt pretty cruddy from the bush's fumes. The thorny branches still clung to his body, but he was hesitant to remove them. Bloop had disappeared...
-
After so long he decided to put his nose to the ground and sniff around. Despite having night vision due to being a species of cat he wasn't particularly paying attention to where he was going. Alistair's toes were on the edge of Geoff's arm, still not paying attention. A thousand pound feral saber with just his toes on your arm could still be quite heavy regardless since all his weight was balanced on all four paws.
-
Luckily, the saber's toes hadn't hit one of the vines, or Geoff would have been in even more pain! He yelped in alarm at the pressure and sight of the paw. He looked up to see the big pink cat extremely up close and panicked before noticing the name tag on his collar and realizing who it was.
"Oh...H-hey, I remember you," he croaked, "at the... plane..."
-
I was knocked out of my memory by a yelp, looking up I noticed it was Geoff.
"You okay Geoff?" I asked.
-
Zaida heard the yelp but turned to a snarl and her ears leaned back watching Geoff with anger in her eyes she simply growled and leaned on the tree tiredly.
-
Alistair jumped back immediately, the chain collar jangling as he took on a position that attempted to make himself look bigger; then he noticed it was just Geoff. Shuffling back over the pink saber sat next to him with an exhale, "Arwonph."
-
I heard a growl and looked over to see that is was Zaida. Why was she so angry, did she not like us anymore? If that was the case, Why was she still helping us? I was so confused; but, I didn't think it was smart to go up there and ask what was wrong.
-
Zaida laid down tiredly and turned towards the tree trying to sleep but if she closed her eyes she would continued to have the memories pass by, she sat there and sighed humming ever so quietly to herself.
-
Zaida heard the yelp but turned to a snarl and her ears leaned back watching Geoff with anger in her eyes she simply growled and leaned on the tree tiredly.
((Why? He obviously just got stepped on by a massive cat. Anyone would yelp at that! D: ))
Geoff reached over and pet the saber's fur.
"Where have you been, bud?" he spoke softly, smiling a little.
-
Alistair's fur felt greasy on the touch, he turned his head to look at Geoff; making sure he saw the blood soaked muzzle of the large cat. Around his midsection appeared to be ropes, stones, and rope nets. Something or someone had tried to catch Alistair.
-
Geoff noted the blood, and he tugged lightly at a net.
"Aww...Got into some traps, huh? Looks like you were too big to get caught for long."
After sitting up dizzily, he displayed the charred thorny vines stuck in his arm.
"...I was just in one as well, kinda. Heh..."
-
I hoble over to Geoff, investigating why he had yelped. When I got over to him, I noticed that there was a large pink feline next to him.
"Hey, who's your friend?"
-
Alistair frowned at the thorny vines, clamping down with his jowls and pulling them away ever so slowly. Afterward he stuck out his tongue, which had a thick golden ooze on it, the saber licked the wounds; which in turn made them seal up, but not without a moderately painful sting to it.
-
Geoff gritted his teeth at the pain, then peered fascinated at the healed wounds.
"oh... wow. That's amazing. Thank you, Alistair!"
-
Alistair nodded, then turned and began to take off the long ropes, nets, and bolas from himself. These things he collected from trapping attempts could be of good use to everyone else.
-
Galen was in the process of aligning the support posts of the tent when he heard the commotion behind him. At this point, he was surprised less by the massive pink tiger lying next to Geoff, and more so by his lack of being surprised. "Well", he thought "at this point I doubt anything is too strange to consider a possibility."
He continued working on the tent, mumbling "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad, everyone's mad."
-
Geoff's smiled dropped when he realized something missing.
"wait... Bloop. Oh no..."
He turned his head, looking around for the little fish-lizard creature.
He stood up and continued looking around.
-
I looked to Geoff.
"You loss something?" I was clueless to the fact that bloop was gone.
-
"Bloop is gone," Geoff replied to Chains, looking worried.
He continued looking about until he found a lump laying on the ground. He walked up close to it and knelt down, gaping.
"... N-no!"
He reached down and tenderly gripped the critter, its colorful body mostly blackened and littered with wounds.
"...Bloopadoo..." He whimpered and cradled it. "I'm so sorry..."
He softly sat himself down, holding Bloop close.
-
I hobbled over to geoff seeing what was in his hands.
"Oh Geoff, I'm so sorry." I gasped.
-
Alistair shuffled over, raising a brow, then lapping up the small fish-lizard; swallowing it whole.
-
"I should have left em at the pond," Geoff spoke quietly. "This is my fault..."
...
Geoff watched Alistair eat Bloop, a little shocked for a moment, then he lowered his head...
-
I hobbled over to Geoff, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.
-
Galen looks back again to see Geoff and a few others apparently disturbed by something. Considering that there was most likely nothing he could do to ease the discomfort among the group right now, he turned back to the task at hand after a moment and continued with his work on the infernal contraption that was Zaida's tent, finally staking it in place.
Reaction reference:
(http://i.imgur.com/u6WLcKg.gif)
-
((That reaction!! XD )) Zaida huffed. "May you all be silent for one night. It's enough that I cannot sleep, silence is the closest I can get" she said in a hoarse whisper, but looked tired as she was wrapped in her tail laying in the meadow under a tree before passing out her somewhat long sergal snout against the floor keepin g her head up.
-
((Isn't she further away? Geoff is still where the bush was, and he's being mostly quiet. ))
Geoff huffed and shook his head. He then curled up at the base of a tree, falling asleep.
-
(does anyone not notice me? >:( )
I see hollow trying to put up the tent.
"Is there any way for me to help?" I ask
-
Alistair snarled at the sergal, using the bolas to hoist the large net up into the tree before offering to take other furs up into the rope nest.
-
Turning to Chains, Galen said "Well I mean... it's done. So whatever else there is that I might've missed, feel free to fix that. Don't think I missed anything though."
-
Looking around there wasn't anything that Hollow had missed. sighing I went back to sitting at my tree. I felt so useless, I couldn't fight and protect everyone because of my broken leg.
-
Another memory flashed through. she ran through the woods only being fourteen or so, she panicked and limped as she had a claw trap on her shoulder,needles on her neck, and finally her leg having rope attached. She panted and her face had dried tears now filled with fear being chased by her tribe. She woke up panted heavily and felt horrible, coughing blood and shook her head then leaned against the tree and closing her eyes tiredly.
-
Geoff took Alistair's offer and climbed onto the rope nest.
-
Alistair curled up below the nest, his eye-lids closing and opening slowly as he yawned.
-
Galen took his time settling down in the tent. His pack and hatchet were within arm's reach, and he took the time to use whatever minimal padding was available in an attempt to make things a more accomodating. As he stretched his arms in a relaxed posture, he decided that the best way to go about things would be to shift to fullform and sleep that way. Following a moment of reorientation and a faint blaze of light from the medallion around his neck, he lied down and wrapped himself in his wings, now visible at their full size. The floor was somewhat padded from the fallen foliage underneath the tent itself, and his dreams were of slight worry, but also with a hint of the satisfaction coming from an imminent resolution of recent difficulties.
-
Zaida huffed still her body, her mind wouldn't allow her to sleep, she was scared but simply pushed her fear away and stayed strong. She stood and began to climb a tree but softly slid down since she was weak and tired she just sat in a position of hugging the tree with her claws dug in she used her tail to drag the pelt over her to keep warmth, after awhile she began to drift away in her mind and finally slept however she whimpered and flitched at random moments as she slept and hugged the tree tighter.
-
looking up, I was able to find a tree with a good branch. Even with a broken leg, I was able to climb up and lay on the branch. closing my eyes I tried to sleep.
-
(I have not figured out why someone with a fractured leg would rather climb into a tree than utilize the tent he just saw being constructed earlier.)
-
(I actually forgot about it actually, hehe XD )
I look down and spot the tent. climbing back down, I hobble to the tent and crawl into it. Trying to go to sleep.
-
Zaida murred until she yawned and her eyes fluttered open looking around as she still hugged the tree, luckily she had gotten sleep.
-
Fout opened his eyes, then blinked... He glanced about at the fuzzy shapes around him, and staggered to his feet. "H... help... I can hardly see..."
-
Zaida hearing this looked at fout wandering about. She retracted her claws and stopped hugging the tree. Standing she walked over to fout and put a pelt over him and patted his shoulders. "Shh you are fine, just sit..." She said softly and calmly slowly pushing him down on the meadow grass.
-
Fout did not resist, the purple blur sounded like Zaida. "The... the headache is gone at least..."
-
Zaida sat down. "You'll temporarily be blind... It will be fine" she said.
-
"How long?" Fout asked. "A few hours?" he said, hopeful.
-
"Maybe, possibly a day..." She says her tail curling on her and she murred softly, still a bit tired.
-
Geoff, in the nest Alistair made with the net, relaxed as he heard Zaida's words. His vision was blurry, through not as much as Fout's. He was guided up by the saber, and now he didn't quite trust trying to climb out of it, so he stayed still and continued to rest.
-
Galen woke to find Chains asleep next to him, most likely in close proximity due to a cold night. He got up with a twitch and a silent yawn, producing a slight ruffling sound as he flexed his wings within the confines of the tent. He shifted to midform and prepared to go outside, readying his pack and hatchet, and reaching into a compartment to grab some of the incinerator meat from several days past, which had turned to the consistency of a somewhat tough jerky at this point. He stowed his wings in another light blue haze and stepped outside.
-
Fout shook his head sadly. "we... we should get moving... someone will have to guide me though. can't see a thing."
-
"I'm, uh... not sure that would be a... good idea," Geoff replied to Fout while stretching. "We'll be screwed if something else attacks us..."
-
I wake up with a yawn, my leg sore, but felt like I could take the splint off. taking it off I got up and put weight on my leg.
I winced from the pain.
"Might be able to have the splint off, but i'll still have a limp for a while." I tell myself before going outside.
-
Fout turns to the blur that might or might not be Geoff, and shakes his head. "What if something attacks us here? what if more plants decide to arrive?"
-
"I'm sure well be fine," I say limping past Fout.
-
Galen checked his pack for the two semi-gelatinous masses held in one of the pockets. "I've only got two more of these sacks of incinerator fuel. There's only one in each of the animals, so they're not exactly easy to come by, if you know what I mean. So try not to get eaten by the plant life. This means all of you."
He flexed his fingers, still half asleep.
-
"Well... I dunno..." Geoff carefully crawled to the edge of the net and peered down at the ground. He looked for his spear, but his weakened eyesight made it impossible to see from up in the tree.
"Hey, uh, can someone toss me my spear, please? It's somewhere..." Geoff motioned his pointing finger around at the ground. "... s-somewhere around there..."
He paused for a moment.
"Uh, um, don't skewer me in the... p-process... eh..."
-
The spear was lying a few meters beside Geoff. Galen moved to pick it up, and put the shaft in Geoff's hands slowly, so that he could grasp it properly.
"Is there anyone who wasn't blinded by the damn vines?!" he said, looking around at the group blinking in frustration at their hindered eyesight.
-
"I was caught right in the middle of the bush..." Fout stated "I... I guess I will have to stay out in the open now..."
((I need to sleep, night everyone! :3 ))
-
Geoff grabbed the spear from Galen.
"Thank you," he said, smiling.
He rolled onto his back, resting the spear on himself and gripping it in his hands. He felt naked without holding a weapon, even while he was in a generally safe height in the tree.
-
(I didn't see that :$ )
"I look to hollow, the vines hadn't blinded me." I say raising my hand a bit.
-
"Oh", said Galen as he looked at Chains' injured leg.
"That's great."
-
"Yeah, but my leg isn't well yet." I say
-
"I see that." said Galen, with a somewhat tired expression.
-
"So, what's the plan for today?" I ask clapping my hands together.
-
Looking at the injured group around him, Galen said "Well, considering that so many people got their eyes quite jacked up, I guess we're staying here for the time being."
He sighed, before adding "I guess I'll be doing some target practice. Shout if you need me."
He nocked a field tip, getting ready to find a suitable target for the time being.
-
Zaida was gone. She had been scouting looking for something to hunt as she stood on the peek of a mountain the wind blowing through her fur. She huffed smelling her surroundings.
-
I sighed, and hobled to a near by tree and plopping on the ground. Taking out my revolvers, I open up the wheel and and look at the empty holes. Empty, making the gun useless. I highly doubt I could ever find any more on this island. I close the wheels and slip the guns back in there holsters.
"At least I still have my chain." I say to myself.
-
(I believe the "wheel" is referred to as the cylinder of a revolver.)
Galen found a suitable tree with a partially rotted trunk. This would work well, as the rot would prevent any permanent damage to his arrows, even if it was unlikely a steel arrowhead and an aluminum shaft could be damaged in such a way. He walked over to the rotted tree and carved a series of circles to serve as his target, then preceded to begin shooting.
-
Geoff was pretty irritated about his eyesight; it made him feel distant and vulnerable. Plus, Galen's attitude about the whole thing made him feel worse about it. How were they supposed to know there were murderous plants hanging about? It wasn't their fault they're temporarily disabled...
He huffed as he slapped the spear handle into his hand repeatedly, getting bored. Laying in the net for so long was a bit uncomfortable, and his body urged to move around, but he didn't want to slip while trying to climb down and end up with a broken limb.
--
After resting his eyes a bit, Geoff's vision got only slightly clearer. He still managed to climb down the tree safely, though he nearly took a couple missteps on the branches. When he got to the ground, he stretched his legs and back and walked around the area, tapping the butt of the spear against the grassy floor like a blind person's cane--This was more for his own amusement than anything.
-
I looked up and noticed Geoff walking around, his can pocking around. He was getting closer till
"WHACK" I was smacked in the face.
"Hey, watch it!" I exclaim rubbing the spot.
-
Fout slumped against a tree... then crawled away from it. just in case.
slumping in the middle of the makeshift camp, he just lay there, looking up at the sky. feeling completely useless.
-
Geoff laughed after he hit Chains with the spear butt, though he didn't mean to do it so hard. He continued thunking it softly on his head. "Ohh, sorry, Chains! I can't seeeee~!"
-
Fout could not help but smile listening to Geoff and Chains. At least someone found it amusing.
-
"it's not funny," I mumble
-
Geoff's smile dropped immediately.
"I'm... s-sorry..."
He was trying to keep happy, but like always, he took it too far. Feeling awful and foolish, he lowered his head and stepped away to curl up at the base of the tree he was in before, keeping his distance from everyone.
-
"hey, thre is no reason to be upset." I say to Geoff.
-
"I'm sorry... Chains..." Geoff said again. "I didn't mean to get you mad. I was just..."
he huffed at himself. "Was just trying to lighten the mood... ya know..."
-
"I'm not mad." i say, "just bord."
-
Zaida my at camp she ran in the snowy terrain (to give you all more info, the island is large so there is different biomes ^^) she slid in snow as Rolo slammed, trying to grab Zaida, she turned slashing her jagged machete to his cheek making him back away and roar with anger.
-
"Yeah..."
Geoff huffed at himself again, but for a different reason.
"God, I just need to, like... stop. Seriously..."
-
He grabbed the sergal and threw her making her slide through the snow hitting rocks under. "DEATH!" He roared with snow on his already bright white fur.
Zaida got up and threw a snow ball before jabbed a spear the lion.
-
"Stop what," i ask.
-
"So what, like multiple personality disorder?" i ask
-
"Oh, no, not like that, just... my emotions are all goofed up..."
Geoff sighed. Now he felt even more awkward.
"I just... can't afford them, uh, ruining... things, here... I mean, I've lost people I care about due to it. The last thing I want is to lose my friends and make more enemies here..."
-
"Oh geeze, it would take more than laughing at me to make me your enemy." i say
-
Geoff smiled softly. "Y-yeah, I'm sure... But it can get worse if I let it. I just need to keep it in check, is all."
-
"I have to raise two brothers, trush me, i can take it." i say putting my hands behind my head and leaning back onto the tree behind me.
-
Geoff shrugged, feeling a strange mix of relief and over-exposure. He wished he didn't let go of that information, but at least he knew Chains could handle it.
-
I look to geoff,
"So, you have any siblings?" i ask
-
"Nope," Geoff replied.
-
Zaida got up her nose bleeding.
Rolo swung at her ribs hearing a crack.
Zaida fell and got up panting, she huffed tiredly and weakly but backed away near the edge seeing the camp, she was afraid to lead Rolo there and began to run the opposite way the lion gave a loud roar and chased after.
-
"Ah, so your the only child.." i say looking up at the sky. My ears perked hearing a roar out in the distance.
-
Geoff's eyes widened. He held his spear as if being forced into battle.
"O-oh no..." he gasped while backing up slowly and staring at the sky above the mountain, quiet and fearful. "Oh lord, please, no..."
-
Standing up, I reiched for my chain around my shoulder.
-
Fout climbs to his feet. "Are... are we under attack?"
((I have to go eat, be back later.))
-
"We might be." i say unraveling the chain.
-
The last thing Geoff wanted to do was fight anything, and now that horrific lion was about?! To make matters worse, his sight still wasn't fully back yet, and no doubt Fout's was the same.
"This is bad," he said, trying to keep hold of himself. "This is... really bad..."
-
I scanned the area, searching for the lion. Everything seemed to be okay so far, but I didn't want to let my guard down yet.
-
Fout swore. "I... I can't fight... where can I hide? I... I mean the last bush I hid in tried to murder me?!"
-
Alistair's ears swiveled back and forth when he heard the lion, he kept low to the ground, and shuffled through; his muzzle eventually bumping into Geoff. Sneezing at first then letting out a chuff, waiting for the lion if it got closer.
-
Zaida held Rolo's wrist as he held her neck and slammed her to the floor again. She bit hard into his flesh luckily feeling the pain the lion tossed her into a pile of snow and snorted, furious while stomping to her.
-
I could hear a fight, someone was in trouble. I start running not realizing my leg wasn't hurting any more.
-
Zaida quickly fug in the snow and dirt right under the lion making him fall deeper into the cave. She crawled out and slammed into the tree making piles of snow falling on him. She grabbed her spear and stabbed it into the snow hitting his shoulder but her quickly burst out and snapped the spear and tackled her into the snow both biting and scratching, luckily Zaida being smaller was quicker and barely got hit but Rolo had more energy and health.
-
I finally get up to the mountain. Stopping I skidded seeing Zaida fighting the lion from before.
-
Fout stayed at th bottom, he was not going to go running towards a combat he can't even see...
-
Galen woke to the sound of fighting in the distance. Rushing outside with his gear readied, he noticed that many of the people who where present last night were now gone. He shifted to fullform and flew in the sound of the commotion.
-
Fout saw Galen fly off and gulped. he was painfully aware how vulnerable he was, and how at risk the remaining members of the camp were.
-
Galen noticed fout at the base of a medium-sized mountain. Impacting with some haste, he asked
"What happened? Where is everyone?"
He prepared his bow and reached for a broadhead.
His wings faded from existence with a mist of blue fire.
-
"n... NO idea... heard shouting... so chains ran off... and Zaida was already gone..."
-
The massive lion tripped falling down hitting rocks along with Zaida until both hit a ledge.
Rolo shook his head and panted before hissing and his missing eyes was bleeding again green blood.
Zaida had hit her head and her vision was blurry but Rolo was close, she looked down seeing her blade had stabbed her during the fall but having no choice she yanked it out and yelled before Zaida Rammed him and and began to jab him. The lion punched and clawed her, Zaida winced deeply in pain before letting out a loud roar, just like her father's but a bit more quieter. However it didn't matter it still hurt any Furries or animal ears that were around. Rolo roared and hissed from the pain holding his ears.
-
Fout winced at the roar. "I... I think there is a fight going on..."
-
He looked up at the mountain, seeing slight hints of movement among the mountaintops. He started his ascent, wings appearing once more with a flash of his medallion.
(Apologies, but to the the sporadic schedule I may not be able to post for a few hours. We will see.)
-
I held my ears, the roar making them hurt. When Rolo stopped I took my chain running up his back I wrap it around his neck.
-
((They are on the mountain, a bit quick...))
Rolo had yanked the chain making the canine fly right over him and clashing into the snow, he gave a bloody roar little speaks of his and Zaida's blood dripping from his mouth.
Zaida took out her jagged machete and snarled at the lion, baring her sharp teeth while staying her ground.
-
I land into the snow, my legs the only thing visible. I pull myself out and grab my chain the arrow around and throwing it at Rolo like a whip.
-
((Oh ok! I see the old post, sorry chains ^^')) The lion flinched cuts beginning to scar his body, he snarled and roared grabbing rocks and throwing beginning to run at Zaida.
-
"ZAIDA, WATCH OUT!" I call out.
-
Geoff stayed at the camp with Fout. He still stood in battle mode, appearing increasingly worried as he peered up at the fuzzy mountains.
"Chains can't fight. His leg's broken still. He's gonna get killed..."
((I love my timing for naps... ))
-
"He can fight better than I can" Fout exclaimed. "Can... can you see properly..."
((Is alister still about IC? if so we should not go too far without him...))
-
"No. I thought my vision would be clear by now..."
((I agree))
-
Galen finally made his way to a neighboring peak of the mountain. From here, he could see the sergal fighting with what looked like a pale lion. He readied his bow and nocked an arrow. If he could get a clear shot, this could prove to be a short encounter.
Except the damn wind wasn't exactly helping his aim.
-
((You know summer is here when the roleplays slow to a crawl. ))
-
(Is it summer already?)
-
((Might as well be. I'm be cooked alive! D: ))
-
(Dang, i thoughr it got hot here.)
-
((It's more my room than outside. I haven't gone out in a while. But my room is always the hottest and most humid part of the house. X_x ))
Geoff continued to stare up at the mountains, prepared in case the battle drew closer, looking terrified. He didn't want to be anywhere near that lion again, especially when he can't see clearly...
-
FOut moved over to Geoff, stumbling. "S... see anything?"
-
The lion charged at Zaida both falling down the mountain hitting more rocks and snow. She huffed and got up weakly holding her machete.
Rolo roared grabbing a larger Boulder about to slam it down.
Zaida seeing it was just her and Rolo on this ledge, sighed Zaida dropped the machete off the mountain, she grabbed a spear from her back and jagged it into his stomach before jabbing the end of the spear into the rocks on the mountain, rocks began to tumble down along with snow both beginning to disappear in the smoke, snow and rocks that fell down.
-
Fout heard the crash as the rocks came tumbling down and started to back away. "Do... do we need to get to cover?!"
-
Geoff began to back away as well. "I think that's a good idea!"
-
Fout grabbed onto Geoff's arm. "Where?!"
-
I ran over to the cliff where zaida and the Rolo fell.
"Zaida!" I yell out fearing for her life.
-
"Fff--away from here."
Geoff pulled Fout further away from the mountain, not entirely sure where he was going. But it had to be safer than under an avalanche.
-
Fout followed, terrified of losing sight of Geoff.
-
I hope down, boots creating a trench as I slid down following Zaida and Rolo. I wanted to make sure Zaida was okay.
-
Geoff stopped and looked back. The mountain was only an entirely fuzzy mass to him now. He assumed they were far enough away if the avalanche continued. In all honesty, he was more concerned with the lion than of that, but hopefully they were distant enough to not be noticed.
-
The rocks continued to fall along with snow before long beside the mountain was a large pile of rocks covered in snow and smoke covered the area.
-
((Damn I forgot about this))
*Sorrow has died from lack off food and water*
((There we go))
-
((NOOO! SORRROW!! D: D: ))
Fout crouched down, and waited.
-
I finally slide to the bottom where all the snow and rockes where.
"Zaida, you okay?" I cry out searching. nealing I start digging into the snow.
-
Geoff, feeling anxious and dizzy, tried to calm himself. He almost wanted to throw up.
"I need my sight back..."
-
All was found was rocks and snow, before long Rolo was uncovered beaten and his bones broken but was limp meaning he was now...dead.
-
"Same...." Fout said, "I am totally reliant on others like this..."
-
"Well, good ridance." I mummble to myself then look around.
"Ziada," I call out. "Are you okay? call out if you can hear me!"
(is Rolo the canibble? :? )
-
((Yes sir :P))
Everything was silent only the smallest pebbles tumbled around from chains movement.
-
"...Ch-Chains might have... been in... that..."
Geoff sat himself down and took breaths.
"H-he-he could be... nnn..."
-
Fout stayed silent. Nervously glancing around.
-
I kept walking, search for Ziada. I could feel panick grow in my chest. I was fearing the worse.
"Zaida, please answer me!" I call out again.
-
Rolo's body moved and after a struggle his back faced chains looking like he was kneeling down to the floor.
-
I turn hearing shifting behind me. I can see the body of Rolo riasing.
"Oh no." I whispered alsmost frietend for the worse.
-
Rolo's body shifted before Zaida tossed the dead lion off of her with struggle and panted. "I'm. still. Alive." She said with a huff
-
"That is wonderful." I say before running up and giving her a tight hug.
-
She winced and pushed away. "Doesn't mean I'm not in best condition..." She sighed rubbing her arm.
-
"HEhe, sorry." I say rubbing the back of my neck.
-
She looked at Rolo pulling her spear that was broken in two the arrow in his body. "Well, a waste of good weapons." She dropped it on the white lion and sighed "how are the others?"
-
"Um... I think they are okay, they should have hollow with them." I say
-
"Good..." She said tiredly before sitting on a rock weakly and sighed. "Good good..."
-
"So Rolo is finaly dead I see." I say looking at the dead body of the one that almost killed me that one time.
-
"Yes..." She said nodding and rubbing her Aqua blood off her head. "No more Rolo..." She panted
-
"You need help with anything?" I ask walking up and sitting next to zaida.
-
"No.. No...n" she stayed silent and winced from her headache before falling down unconscious
-
sighing, I pick Zaida up bridal style and started carrying her back to where everyone was.
-
Geoff looked back toward the camp and noticed a moving reddish-orange blur.
"Is... is that Chains?..."
-
Fout looked out, and saw nothing but the white and green blur of the mountain.
-
I couldn't carry Zaida like she was. So I set her down for a second then put he on my back for a piggy back ride. It made walking through the forest much faster.
-
Geoff stood up and began walking closer to the camp, then stopped.
Hesitantly, he called out, "I-Is that you, Chains?"
-
I had just walked into camp,
"Yeah, it's me." I answere back.
-
Geoff smiled for a moment, then walked back to tug on Fout's arm and lead him back to camp.
-
I got to the tent, gently laid zaida down and proceeded to bandage her up.
-
Fout walked back to the camp with geoff
-
When I finished bandaging Zaida up, I exited the tent and zipped it up. I went to the trees to gather wood up for fire.
-
They got back to camp.
Geoff saw Chains walking out to gather wood. He seemed to be alright, thankfully.
He looked into the tent to find Zaida. He gaped. Was she the one fighting Rolo?
-
I had gathered up enough wood. putting them in a tent like structure, I pulled out some flint and steal striking them together I created fire.
-
Zaida groaned while sleeping and tossed and turned but winced since her body was in pain.
-
I went to check on Zaida. Entering the tent I saw that she was still alright.
-
She wakes up and sighs looking around the blurry surroundings. She huffed and held a pelt in her arms like a pillow.
-
I look up, noticing Zaida was awake.
-
Zaida's vision was horrible, her vision, blurry. "Who is here?" She asked looking around holding the pelt tighter.
-
Geoff lay asleep in the net in the tree.
((gonna grab food real quick))
((Back))
-
Fout lay under the tree. feeling useless, his vision was finally starting to clear though, he could just about make out his own claws in front of his face...
-
((I think we should let our vision clear up so we can actually get the roleplay rolling again, tbh ))
-
"Calm down," I say to zaida my hands raised in a "don't hurt me" way.
"It's just me."
-
((Yea, I was expecting someone to attack me while I was blind, but as it never happened its going to clear up over the next 3 or 4 of my posts.))
Post Merge: May 30, 2015, 12:14:14 AM
Fout squinted, and much to his surprise, his hand came into focus. "I... I think I can see... If I squint..."
-
((I was expecting the same as well. Looks like we kept out of danger pretty well. XD ))
Geoff opened his eyes and saw much clearer now. It wasn't entirely back to normal, but much better. He was very relieved. He climbed down.
-
((I think my long distance vision will still be faded, but for most things I will be fine.))
Fout moved over to Geoff. "I can actually see you know... thanks for the help... you know while I was...." fout shook his head. "I... I think I can work independently now..."
-
Geoff nodded. "Good. My vision got better too."
He stretched his back. "Aaalright... so, uh... what's next on the... oh, the temple. Wait..."
He looked at Fout. "She said that was, like, days away, right? And now we spent well over a day sitting about..."
-
Fout sighed. "if I was given a map, I could probably get us there faster... though not as safely..."
-
"At this point, I think it's best we take the safe route," Geoff said. "Not like we have plans aside from that... temple thing..."
-
Fout nodded. "Are we all able to move... we should leave immediately..."
-
Zaida pushed chains. Throwing the pelt over him "Don't get near me" she barked with anger before peaking from the tent seeing Rolo's body she grabbed a blade twirling it in her paw. "I shall take my prize..." She snarled.
-
Pulling the pelt off, I tried to push zaida back down.
"Zaida calm down. You need to rest and heal."
-
Still weak and injured she yelped and made gurgle growls. "Let go" she said in her light voice but seemed cold. "Your hurting me"
-
"Then stop struggling!" I exclaim keeping her down. "I can't have you opening any of your wounds!"
-
Geoff ran over to the commotion.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
-
Looking behind me I notice Geoff.
"She is hurt and I can't allow her to move or her wounds will open." I say letting off a bit.
-
Zaida struggled. "I've had worse, I'm not weak" she hissed still struggling. "I will claim my prize..." She says wiping a bit of her black blood off her head since her scar was just scratched a bit.
-
"He is dead and going no where. I can't have you moving." I say almost pleading her to stop.
-
Zaida already panting which was rare laid her head down tiredly and weakly, wincing from her bruises.
-
When I felt she had stopped struggling I stopped pushing. I went and sat to the side of her.
-
"Let her go," Geoff growled at Chains. "You'll open her wounds if you keep being so rough!"
((He said this before he let go, btw. I got distracted before posting... ))
-
Without looking at Geoff I simply say,
"I know what I am doing. I had to do the same with my two brothers that always felt they were fine after a battle and they were severely injured."
-
((Alright same happens to me... A lot XD ))
Zaida rested before speaking quietly and softly. "We must go to the temples, they won't find us. If we stay" she huffed unable to speak being dehydrated.
-
I couldn't let her go now, but she was right, we had to get to the temple. I am assuming.
"Here, you sound parched I'll help you get water." I say picking her up and holding her arm around my shoulder.
-
"Okay. Let's pack everything and leave..."
Geoff went back to his tree and unfastened the net from the branches. The materials could be useful later.
He climbed back down and met back with Zaida and Chains.
-
When led to the small stream she didn't care all she wanted was water. she fell to her hands and knee's drinking the from the stream quickly
-
I went and sat down in front of a near by tree as I waited for Zaida to finish drinking.
-
Geoff took this chance to take a drink as well.
-
After a bit Zaida stopped and panted a bit befor sitting on her knee's the water was cold and fresh just coming from the snow mountains.
-
noticing zaida had stopped drinking, I get up and walk up to her.extending my hand, I offer to help Zaida back to camp.
-
Zaida grabbed his paw and stood up brushing the dirst of her legs and following him to camp.
-
"So this temple," I began. "How much further do we have?"
-
Geoff was pretty dehydrated too; he continued drinking the refreshing water a little after Chains began helping Zaida back to camp, releasing a content sigh afterward. Feeling the cold water running down his throat, he realized he was getting hungry as well.
When he was done, he caught up with the two.
-
She thought. "Might take us all night, however we must leave... The Avalanche could have been heard... I don't want to stay too long" she said holding some items weakly.
-
"Here, let me take those." I say taking the items from her hands.
-
"I'm with you on that," Geoff replied to Zaida.
He helped pack everything up.
-
Zaida nods her head beginning to lead the way, clouds began to slept roll in.
-
With supplies in my hands, I follow Zaida.
(I am assuming everyone is following us?)
-
((Yeah, we'll say that. We really need to pick up the pace. ))
Geoff kept his pace with the others, carrying stuff, but leaving an arm free to hold his spear.
"How far away are we?" he asked later on.
-
"can't be far..." Fout stated, his vision now completely healed.
-
Zaida spoke. "Close, very close." She said continuing her way through the jungle maze.
-
While walking through the jungle, Geoff couldn't shake off the feeling that something was about to go wrong out here, and he could only hope their destination was safe.
"We should, uh, probably hurry up," he told the group, sounding rather worried. "if we... can..."
-
"Agreed..." Fout turned to Zaida. "We will be... safe... right?"
-
I look at Zaida waiting for an answere.
-
Zaida panted and stopped before looking at them. "Does it look safe?" Behind her was just jungle.
-
"She has a point," I say.
-
"That wasn't my point. She continued to walk but ledge of the cliff. "I'll see you down at the temple." She used the vines beginning to climb down
-
Fout followed, sliding down the vines, actually overtaking Zaida.
-
I watch for a second before leaping and grabbing the vine and sliding down as well.
-
Geoff looked a tad scared as he slid down the vines, not completely trusting his grip.
-
Zaida halfway jumped not caring for her health landed before all of them and winced but shook it off. She huffed waiting for the others.
-
Fout landed a second later. "that looked painful..." he comments.
-
I landed glaring at Zaida.
"You could have gotten hurt!" I exclaim.
-
"It doesn't matter" she huffed turning to cliff they had climbed down, she looked forward and walked toward the crack in the mountain. "Come"
-
Fout followed, glancing around frantically.
-
She squeezed through the tight rock walls. "We are very close..." Before long she got out into a large temple that laid under the cliff (appearance in the beginning)
-
"seriously, you need to be more careful." I chastise as we walked entering the area,
-
Geoff landed several seconds after Chains. He winced when his feet hit the ground, though more of a reaction to the sudden landing than pain.
"Woah," he exhaled, shaking a little. That was scary, but thrilling.
He followed the group. When they got to the temple, Geoff grinned.
"Oh, wow," he gasped, "This is awesome!"
-
"Will there be traps?" fout asked. "Old temples are never complete without traps." He says, lightheartedly.

((I really ought to come off and get SOME sleep before my parents wake up.))
((Night morning all :P ))
-
"No... I've been here before, I know" she huffs studying her surroundings
-
Geoff wandered around the fascinating temple, but made sure to not stray too far from Zaida.
He had never explored anything like this place before. They covered similar temples in documentaries, but nothing compared to seeing one for himself.
He ran his hand along the textures on a wall, studying it.
-
"Zaida, you really need to rest." I say. "Those wounds won't heal if you keep pushing yourself.
-
Fout stayed close to the group, he did not trust the safety of the bushes anymore.
-
"I can decide for myself" she huffed. "Rest is for the weak, my heals will heal no matter what" she said scooping water from the glowing pond at the hidden temples under the mountain.
-
I growled.
"who are you to decide what is for the weak?"
-
"I am Zaida to decide for the weak..." She simply said. "Besides It was just my opinion... I don't want to rest, I don't need it...I'm fine" she said not looking up from the water
-
"I'm sorry but this suppiriorority complex you have is getting on my nerves." I say
-
Geoff ignored their arguing and continued exploring the temple.
-
Zaida sighed and continued what she was doing.
A large centipede crawled along the rock walls his antennas feeling his surroundings.
-
"you say you don't need rest, but those injuries tell a different story." I say once I calm myself down.
-
Geoff was startled by the centipede, and gazed at it in horror and curiously.
"O-Ohhh..."
-
I look to Geoff,
"hey what you got there." I ask completly forgetting about Zaida, walking over to Geoff.
-
"It's a... big creepy crawly thing..." he replied.
-
"a creepy Crawly thing?" I ask a little afraid.
-
The centipede grew close long as 20 feet and 5 feet wide half its body flinched and stood when a antenna touched Geoff, feeling the fur curiously
-
((Wait, he wouldn't have reacted to it like that! I thought you meant realistically large centipede! Ya tricked me! XD ))
Geoff shivered a bit.
"H-hey there, buddy..."
-
(is that big? :? )
I was afraid I went to turn and run but my feet tripped offer each other and I fell.
-
Fout backed away from the centipede. "zaida... do you know this... Creature...?"
-
getting up I ran to a pillar, peaking out just a little to see what was going on.
-
((Sillies, of course it is! XD))
The centipede turned to chains, crawling since he made noise it began to feel the furry also making a small clicking noise.
Zaida turned with a blade eyeing the Insect. "I do... Insects usually take ruins of temples..."
-
"That is a... massive insect," Geoff said, backing up a little.
-
Fout hid behind Zaida. watching.
-
"Somebody help," i wimper not daring to move.
-
"Is it dangerous?"
-
"No... Unless your dead" she through the blade, on purposely it passed the insect hitting a bell that rung. The centipede flinched and scurried up the rock walls. "But there may be many bugs in here... Although they can be easily removed." She looked around. "However it's too empty meaning there may be a large predator insect..." She states walking to the bell and stoping it then retrieved her blade
-
"L... like a spider or something?"
-
"I... I hope not" i wimpered.
-
Zaida grabbed her blade and tried to yank it out of the bell. The bell had a small invisible thread, no web attached. As it shook the vibration led to a spider web, Zaida didn't pay any attention. "Maybe, but once the beast is gone, this place will be safe, just keep an eye out"
A large spider crawled over the temple, looking down from the ceiling seeing the Furries, keeping itself hidden.
-
"I'd... kinda like to see that..." Geoff muttered sheepishly. If there was a centipede that big, imagine a spider! That would be so cool to see--as long as it didn't want to kill them.
-
Fout stared at Geoff, wide eyed. "wh... what?"
-
"I'll stay away from the temple then." i said nervously backing away from the building.
-
"Relax, Chains," Geoff told him, motioning his spear up a little. "I'm sure we can handle a big bug; We've gone through a lot worse."
-
"There are many things i will go through. But bugs are not one of them. especially spiders." i say gulping, my voice shaky.
-
Geoff shrugged. "Never quite understood that arachnophobia thing. I mean, venom... is a thing, but a spider is a... a... little crawly thing... you can crush if you have to."
-
"Nnn... not small if its large enough to eat you..." Fout said quietly.
-
"Well I din--I didn't mean in this case," Geoff stated. "Even a giant spider can't be too hard to kill. Just need to... stab it right..."
-
"I highly doubt it's that easy." I say
-
The spider began to use its web slowly coming down over them as they talked. A little venom dripping from it.
Zaida turned to them. "Can we stop, we will be fine"
-
Fout sighed. "Your right..." He stated. "I am just being paranoid.
-
Geoff saw a drop of what seemed like water fall to the floor. He looked up... and gaped, backing away.
"Uhh-uh-uh, guys...!" D:
-
"what is it Geoff?" I asked turning to look at him.
-
Zaida looked up and blinked but snarled at the large spider that was coming down.
-
Geoff readied his spear and tried to hide his fear. "...can't be too hard to kill..."
-
Fout crept back, he actually moved so he would be behind the spider when it reached the ground, and then ducked behind a wall.
-
looking up my eyes grew big. I took a step back getting ready to run.
-
Before it reached the ground, Geoff leaped up and thrust his spear into the spider.
-
Taking the opportunity, I turned and ran. I could deal with spiders, i just couldn't.
-
The massive spider tumbled to the ground but was still kicking. Almost unthinkingly, Geoff continued quickly jabbing it a couple more times before jumping back in hopes that was enough to kill it.
-
What was i doing running away. Turning i run back unrapping my chain and getting ready for a fight.
-
Fout crouched down, and watched, standing far behind the spider, and peering out from behind a wall
-
((*impatient flail dance*))
-
(I'm just waiting for the spider to react.)
-
((Same here.))
-
((Reminder I have school, I won't be on much, especially summer since summer school... :S ))
The giant spider hissed, the Orange venom dripping from its chelicera's, it was all black some shades of grey, the eyes glowed bright orange along with the sides on abdomen and the coxa's down his legs, the spinnerets breaking the thin line making it fall halfway down slamming onto the floor staring at its prey before screeching raising its palps (small grabby leg thingies) and its first two legs, it's fangs clicking together as they moved about.
((Visuals: (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/01/d83a8bcfbdfcc70cc0f5729bc22eeb8f.jpg)))
-
Geoff backed up more.
"Shit... Guys! Help!"
-
I throw my chain the arrow head heading for the head.
-
The spider hissed and bit the chain its palps grabbing the chain dragging chains to him.
-
in a sudden rush of uncharacteristic bravery, Fout charged at the back of the spider, and yanked at one of its back legs, hoping to pull it off.
-
Geoff launched himself and jabbed his spear at the spider's head.
-
Zaida watched this and chuckled. "Surprised it's a small one" she grabbed out a bow. "Confuse it!" She kicking the bell.
The spider shook it's head the spear hitting a small eye, then tugged it's leg trying to get him off but the bell distracted it
-
"A small one?!"
Geoff backed up again and looked at Zaida like she was insane.
-
Zaida looked at sided trying to take the spear out of its eye as it yanked it's leg trying to get the furry off. She ran running under it but seemed to have got the arrows in the venom but quickly stabbed a small dagger under the abdomen.
The spider screeched and crawled away it's leg tearing off, it turned around and hissed at the group raising its four legs and it's large fangs showing.
-
fout fell backwards holding the leg. He then dashed around trying to grab another leg.
-
Geoff ran up and quickly yanked the spear out of the spider's eye. He backed up again and tried to think for a moment.
-
I ran up, my arrow head in my hNds jabbing it into his eye.
-
((With Zaida's permission, I will be helping with DMing ))
The spider screeched in pain and tried to take a bite at Chains, but before it could, Geoff made a running jump onto the spider's back, stabbing the spear into it.
The spider bucked, trying to catapult Geoff off, but the bear held on tight to his spear lodged in its back.
Geoff cried, "DIE, GOD DAMN IT!"
-
I ran up wrapping my chain around the head and tightened it, trying to decapitate it.

The spider struggled and screeched and choked until finally its head was severed. The spider's body continued to flail and twitch before it went limp, leaking its dark orange blood.
Geoff yanked the spear out from the spider's corpse and jumped off, panting.
He proclaimed between breaths, "Enemy... termer--terminated..."
-
((Didn't want it's death so quick but alrighty then))
Zaida just sat on the rocks wiping the Orange venom onto the arrows not really caring for the spider of what happened but only hummed calmly
-
((I'm sorry. It seemed like it wouldn't survive what it went through there. I did think about dragging it out, though XD ))
Geoff looked at Zaida.
"Sm... small one?" he said, motioning his spear toward the spider, not noticing the tip had been chipped off.
"That is a small one?!"
-
((It's fine, I would probably make it fast too, spiders have many weak spots, I know since I own one :P))
"Mhm but good thing is now the temple is ours, and we have a large healthy meal" she says softly.
-
Large healthy meal... Did she actually mean...
"Er... uh..."
Geoff rubbed the back of his neck.
"Venomous spiderrrr... healthy meal?"
It wasn't the spider part that bothered him, but the venomous part. It was the dog monster thing all over again.
-
I huffed and puffed, blood dripping from my chain.
"Never... want... to... fight spiders... again." I say between pants.
-
"Venom and poison... Different" she huffed aggravated since some tribes thought the same "venom, if bitten, cut, you die... Poison is if you eat... The insect is venomous it's safe, I've eaten many venomous creatures.." She explains ((to let you all know.. Venom and poison is different XD))
-
((I know, and so does Geoff, but he wanted to be careful. :P ))
"Yeah, I figured," Geoff replied sheepishly.
"I trust your judgement on it, so... yeah."
And he was thankful for that. He was really hungry, and since the tribesmen incident, it was well established that going hungry here was very bad.
-
"I'm sorry," I chuckled nervously. " I'm not touching that thing." I gave a look of disgust.
-
Geoff smiled.
"Well, you remember what happened when I refused to eat," he warned with a chuckle.
-
"I'm sorry, but I can't touch any kind of bug or spiders." I say almost gagging at the sight of the harry thing.
-
Geoff lowered his head and glared half-jokingly at Chains.
-
"Ah, stop don't!" I exclaim waiving my arms around in front of me.
Post Merge: June 02, 2015, 03:04:48 AM
"You stay, I'll go hunting. They have to have something that is normal here." I say turning and walking into the forest.
-
((I derped and deleted this post on accident. This is what chains's doublepost was responding to. x_x ))
Geoff stood normally again, giving him an awkward look.
"uh... well..."
He paused for a moment.
"Well, I... don't want anyone going hungry... so we should try to find something else for you to eat."
-
Zaida was cutting up the spider with ease continuing to doze off. Her tail went in a up and down motion, she simply huffed as she got stuck on a hard part and had to use her strength to cut through.
-
I walked around the forest searching or pray. I turn in front of a tree and see a small rabbit. getting on all four I start getting ready for a chase.
-
Geoff's eyes slightly glanced at the chipped head of his spear as they wandered. When it registered a couple seconds later, they shot back to it. He took a closer look.
"Ohhh no..." he grumbled to himself.
-
Fout looks up at Geoff. "Whats wrong?"
-
"The... point thing... broke off..."
-
Fout looked at the spear. "Easy to fix" He stated simply.
-
"Good."
Geoff didn't like being without a proper weapon. He already lost his awesome pocket knife, and it would be awful losing this spear as well. He should get it fixed as soon as possible.
-
I waited for the right time to take chase walking slowly to the rabbit. The only thing was that i had broke a stick under my foot. The rabbjt heard and saw me. It started running away from me.
"Oh no you don't!" i exclaim chassing after it.
-
Zaida made a fire by the glowing pond, the temple's walls had heads of animals having water poor from them.
When the fire had started she began to take pieces of he spider and began to cook humming a song calmly.
-
I walk back into the temple ground. Fish and rabbit in my hands and mouth.
-
Fout sat down by the fire, and waited for his food.
-
I walk up and sit in front of the fire. My tail wagging in excitment for some edible food.
-
Geoff sat and waited. He wondered how spider would taste.
-
I put my food down not even waiting to put it on the fire before eating the rabbit. the blood staining my muzzle.
-
Geoff saw this, and was more surprised by the animal it was.
"Hold on... is that a rabbit?"
-
I look up, hearing Geoff's answer. I star and nod my head up and down. I had my mouth full and couldn't talk.
-
"You shouldn't eat things raw, very dangerous..." She said looking at him but her eyes locked on the food making her mouth water and nose twitch from the smell of flesh these were old adaptions from her other tribe but she kept her mouth from snarling and continued to cook staying calm with deep breaths.
-
"There are rabbits... in the jungle?"
He paused for a moment, thinking. He then shrugged.
"Eh... not the... weirdest creature to see around here, I suppose..."
-
"I don't know... a normal creature round here is pretty weird..."
-
I look to Zaida,
"Hey, I'm a fox, I can handle it." I say taking another bite.
-
"What if it came over from another wreck? I mean, I... guess that could happen..."
Geoff continued hungrily watching Chains tear into the rabbit. He shook his head and looked back to Zaida's cooking of the spider. Didn't look quite as appetizing, but he was definitely willing to try it.
-
Finishing the rabbit, I laid down putting my hand on my stomach and another behind my head. A sigh escapes my lips as I close my eyes.
-
Zaida bared her teeth a bit but shook her head before stomping the fire. "Spider is done..." She said quickly taking a piece and took a small clean bite from the cooked meat.
-
Geoff grabbed a piece and peered at it curiously before taking a bite.
((I do wonder how spider tastes, though. o_o ))
-
Fout grabbed a piece and ate it without hesitation.
-
Sitting up I watch the three eat the spider. My face start going green and my stomach starts doing flips.
-
Geoff hummed with interest as he chewed the bite of spider and swallowed it.
"Mmh... It's kinda like... chicken... a little bit... actually..."
He continued eating his food happily.
((I looked it up. lol ))
-
((I've had spider it's pretty good ^^ and roach, scorpion, ect xP))
Zaida ate calmly continuing her small bites as she was already use to the delicious meal, a bit curious how these Furries use to live...
-
I got up and walked over to the river, my boots clomping down on the stone floor. I had to get out of there before I got sick.
-
Fout watched chains move away. The Koala grinned. "Chains got a Weak stomach?" He said, nudging Geoff.
-
"Hm-hm, looks like it," Geoff replied with a smile, then continued chewing his food. He swallowed it.
"It's really not bad, Chains," he spoke loud so he could hear. "You should try some!"
-
I call back,
"I refuse to touch a bug or spider thank you."
-
"you know... didn't you already make this mistake Geoff... perhaps... perhaps you should go warn him..."
-
"Heh... it's dead, what would it do?" Geoff muttered to himself, amused.
((Did you mean him not eating? He already ate a rabbit so he's good. XD ))
-
((yea, but turning down free food is still a bad idea, in any situation. XP ))
"Not... not... nevermind..." Fout looked at his feet, embarrassed.
-
((That was in response to Chains, not Fout. I wanted to wait until you answered my question. :P ))
-
((Eh, I am keeping it IC, it seems like the sort of mistake Fout would make while talking. X3 ))
-
"I'm sorry, I've had a bad experience with bugs. I can't stand to be anywhere near let alone touch them." I shout back watching the fish swim in the river.
-
Geoff didn't register what Fout told him for a moment.
"Wait... Warn him about what? Not eating the spider?"
He shrugged.
"I already told him he had to eat. At least he found something else."
He smiled.
"G-good thing, too. Looked like he was starving. With how he ate the thing..."
-
"..." Zaida raised a brow already done with her meal. "What's did you all eat at you homes?" She asked. "Since you are simply not use to these, along with creatures that attacked, and what you wear and came in... I've read books and seen many pictures... But I don't know everything" she says curious
-
"I... I mostly ate what other people left behind... sometimes I would be able to find a place to stay for a night, they would cook me a meal... but that was rare..."
-
(I wasn't to far away.)
Hearing Zaida's question I call back.
"I at normal food, like rabbit or cow, deer, chicken... you get the point."
-
Geoff looked over at Chains.
"You know "normal" is subjective, right?"
He turned back to Zaida.
"Well, uh..."
Geoff tapped on his chin in thought.
"... in our society, our food mostly came from farms of tamed animals people breed... like... cows, pigs, chickens... uh..."
Zaida probably didn't know what those were. He had to figure out how to describe them.
"Like... chickens are flightless birds. Cows are, uh... kinda-big hoofed creatures..."
He realized her concept of "big" is probably much more overestimated than he meant.
"I mean, n..."
He looked at Fout, hoping he could explain better.
-
Cows are 4 legged creatures... same sort of height as a person... it is also dumb... and we breed them and then kill them for meat..."
((I need to head off soon to sleep...))
-
Zaida nods. "Odd" she thinks getting a good picture. "I wish I could see your land seems safe and easy but I've tried many times and cannot leave..."
-
I turn back to the group.
"Oh, trust me, With my life nothing is easy."
-
Geoff nodded.
"It is pretty nice, at least when you have things, you know... sorted out..."
He lowered his ears.
"I was... ssssort-of in the same situation as Fout... for a brief time, before I got on the plane..."
He shrugged, looking at the ground.
"I had my chance to avoid that, but didn't take it. Didn't think things would get as bad as they did..."
-
"I never really had a home for long, always going from bounty to bounty. Made a big name for myself with my brothers at my side. they called us the Parkson Brothers the best bounty hunters." I say with pride.
-
"Who... who's bounty were you chasing... before..." Fout gestured upwards. "Th... that?"
-
"Some dictator in North korea, oh what was his name, oh ya Kim Joeng un." I say thinking. "I go after the big dictators, never the puny ones. I hate the ones having me go kill someone because one person pissed another person off."
-
Fout visibly relaxed, but said nothing.
-
"Why do you ask?" Curious as to why fout would want to know.l
-
"Justcurious" Fout said, "youknowincase... well if..." Fout stopped talking.
-
I stare at fout and chuckle a bit.
"I know why you were asking."
-
Fout looked up... "Guess it does not matter... can't hand in a bounty if your stuck on this island right?"
-
"Why would you think I would be after you? I only met you, never heard from anyone wanting you." I start laughing a little.
-
Geoff stayed silent and smiled while he listened to his crew, snacking on a few pieces of leftover spider--and tried to keep it not as obvious so he didn't gross out Chains again.
He was glad everyone apparently wasn't mad at him, especially Zaida. He felt he was a bother to them lately, for whatever reason, but that worry was starting to fade.
"Oh... Hey Fout," Geoff asked, "would you be able to fix up my spear?"
-
Fout nodded. "I... I will need some stones... and one large enough to replace the end. and it will take some time without any real equipment... but I can do it"
((I am right the end was made of stone right?))
-
I get up and walk back to Geoff and Fout.
"OOH, broke your weapon?" I ask Geoff sitting down next to them.
-
((Yeah, it's made of stone.))
"Yeah. During that spider fight, I think."
-
Fout starts grabbing rocks off the ground, and comparing them to the size of the spear. eventually he found one large enough.
-
"That stinks." I say
-
"I wonder if my pocket knife is still where I dropped it," Geoff said. "I was hoping I'd get a chance to find it, but we're days away from there now..."
-
Zaida was busy storing the food and setting down some pelts in the temple to rest for the night.
-
"Yeah, that would take days to get back there. crazy island this is." I say.
-
Geoff's memory of that moment flashed back.
Geoff charged at a tribal coming toward him and thrust the knife into his gut.
The croc ran and threw the stabbed furry aside, he then grabbed Geoff slamming a knee in return...
Geoff roared in pain as he dropped to the ground, panting and horrified.
Geoff had no energy left to move. He eyed his bloodied knife laying on the ground out of reach.
"M-my knife..." he croaked, clenching the fingers of his right hand.
He sat huddled and stared grimly at the ground. If he was properly nourished before then, he could have had just enough energy to help Chains fight off the tribesmen and avoid the total nightmare that happened later on. Perhaps that wouldn't have been enough to save them, but he still felt it was his fault...
He shuddered as the memories of the cannibals and Rolo came flooding in and tried to block them out...
-
I saw something was on Geoffs mind
"Hey, what wrong?" I asked concerned.
-
Geoff rested his face in his hands and shook his head.
-
"Hey, you can tell me." I say putting a friendly hand on his shoulder.
-
He really didn't want to talk about it.
"God, just..."
Geoff huffed. "Th-that bull with the lion and... all that noise. I-I-I'm-I'm sorry..."
-
"What are you sorry for?" I asked confused. You didn't do anything wrong.
-
Fout returns with a new spearhead for Geoff. his hands look a little bloody.
"Attach this to the spear... it will be good as new."
-
I notice fout's bloody had.
"What happened to your hand?"I ask.
-
Zaida now done rested under the temple murring loudly in her sleep, possibly having a good dream
-
I lacked the proper tools... "Fout stated. "Making the spear kinda hurt..."
-
"Here," I say pulling a leaf strand I had extra from making my hat. I hand it to fout.
-
Fout wraps it round his hand. "Thanks."
-
"Thank you..."
Geoff took the spearhead out of Fout's hand gently. Seeing the bloody hand, he felt even worse.
"I-I'm sorry..."
-
"No problem." I say to Fout.
"For what?" I ask turning to geoff.
-
"I didn't think Fout would get hurt in the process..."
-
"Oh, I see." I say
-
"Its not a problem."Fout said. "you have saved my life... my hands are fine."
-
"Saved your life?" Geoff looked at him.
-
"Without you, I would be dead by now... I could not have fought that spider alone... and then the tribesmen..."
-
"Hey, I was the one who killed it." i pointed out.
"But yeah, you did save his life Geoff."
-
Geoff shrugged, feeling kinda warm and fuzzy.
"Y-yeah, I... guess I did..."
-
"Please Geoff, never feel like you have to do things alone, you have us." I say patting his shoulder.
-
Zaida woke from her name watching the others from afar quietly murring.
-
"Thanks, guys. I... really appreciate it. Like... what would have happened if I actually went off on my own that night?"
Geoff tried to fasten the replacement spearhead to the shaft.
"I'd be dead. Just... destroyed."
-
"Hey, no problem. It's what i do." i tell geoff.
-
After fixing up the spear, Geoff went to sleep on the pelts Zaida set out...
---
Geoff woke up and stretched. He quietly grabbed his spear and walked over to the edge of the temple pond. He sat down and watched the fish swimming in the glowing water.
In it, he could see one of those fish-lizards hanging out close to the edge.
Bloop...
Geoff sighed. He shouldn't have brought that poor fish-lizard along. He had no idea they would be attacked by plants of all things, and it just had to fall into the blaze Galen set to free them...
And then its final resting place was the belly of a sabertooth cat. At least someone got something out of that situation...
He wondered where Alistair went, anyway. He was around for a bit while they were camping at the base of that mountain, then he wandered off on his own. Hopefully he was doing okay. They could use his help, if they happen to meet up again.
-
I woke with. Snort and looked around, geoff wasn't around.
"Hm, wonder where he went?" i asked myself sitting up and stretching.
-
Geoff still sat where he was, dipping his hands into the cool water, enjoying the feeling. He sort of wanted to jump in and take a swim... Now that he thought about it, he could use a bath. After all the wandering in the humid jungle and fighting for his life, he was looking and feeling pretty gross. He should clean his clothes as well...
-
Getting up i start look around, seemed like Zaida and Fout were still asleep. Walking out of the temple i started preparing for.the day.
-
Geoff gently hopped into the pond, scrubbed his fur, and swam around.
-
I went around grabbing wood for a fire, setting them down, I started making a fire.
-
Zaida may have seemed asleep but was just resting, her eyes were very well closed it however was just her thinking deeply to herself. She opened one I slightly looking around before closing it and huffed.
-
Geoff swam around, playing with the pond creatures.
-
Working for a while, I finally got the fire going.
-
((Was waiting for Angder to post. Looks like he lost interest.))
While washing his dirty, bloodstained clothes (still in the pond), Geoff realized he didn't think this through very well. He'll have to wear soaked clothes since he didn't have extra, and he was far too self-conscious to walk about naked. But that was a very trivial problem, especially compared to what they dealt with since the crash.
He remembered he did have clothes in his backpack when he got on the plane, but they didn't find that, did they? His headache was so awful then, he knew he was doing a cruddy job looking for supplies, and he was so in shock he completely forgot about his stuff... Maybe it fell into the ocean. Or maybe someone else found it, if they missed it. Either way, there's no way he can walk for days back there to check for some stupid clothes.
He swore under his breath and quickly put his clothes back on as soon as he stepped out of the pond.
He then grabbed his spear and walked out of the temple to take a look around.
-
((no, I just had nothing to post :$ ))
Fout moved over to Geoff. "We... we will need to find or make new clothes, these ones will wear out soon..."
-
I went and gutted a few fish that I had caught in the pond and put them on the fire to cook.
-
Geoff jumped a little when Fout appeared by him.
"Oh, yeah, I was thinking that..."
-
Fout sighed. "We will need to find something to make the out of... but I have no idea where to even start there..."
-
I took the fish off the fire and started eating it.
"HM, needs salt." I say to myself.
-
"Feral pelts, probably. Zaida should know how."
He paused for a moment.
"We really would be screwed without her, wouldn't we? I mean... we'd still be injured, for one thing..."
-
Fout nodded. "If any of us were not here we would be screwed..."
-
"Yeah... You're right."
Geoff peered out into the jungle.
"I wonder if there's any more crazy creatures out there... Oh hey, didn't... uh, that... winged lion guy, didn't he say he got that burning stuff from a creature here?"
((He's talking about Galen, not Rolo :P ))
-
After I had finished eating, I went and followed Geoff. I heard him ask about the winged creature and burning.
"Yes he did." I said behind geoff and angder
-
"You'd think we'd see more forest fires around here," he joked. "But... imagine what else these creatures here could do."
-
"True," I agree with Geoff.
-
Fout shook his head. "I... I would rather not..."
Post Merge: June 04, 2015, 10:49:43 PM
FOut nodded slowly... "I guess... But how will we identify that from the 'Deadly poison' category?"
-
"some may have healing stuff in them, like Alistair does... then we wouldn't have to be in a certain place to heal up..."
((I derped and removed my post again. XD ))
---
Geoff shrugged.
-
((wow, much ninja XD ))
"I would rather not think about new kinds of creature... with new ways to kill us..."
-
"What are you talking about?" I ask them.
-
"Yeah, I suppose... but we're clearly stuck here for a while, so we might as well try to figure things out... to, you know, survive easier."
-
"Ah, survival, not a stranger to it and this isn't the first time I was in a survival situation." I say
-
"The only survival situation I had before was on the streets," Geoff said. "wasn't anything like this... I managed to avoid most confrontation then, but here, it... actually tracks us down..."
-
"If we work as a team, we can surely survive anything." I say with confidence.
I chuckle "I'm starting to sounds like a fortune cookie."
-
"I'd love a fortune cookie," Geoff mumbled.
"... I really want cookies now... or any kind of sweet..."
"Oh hey, maybe some plants have something sugary in them... and Fruit! We should find some fruit..."
He stroked his chin. "Mmm..."
-
"It would be a good idea to gather fruit just in case any hunting trips are unsuccessful." I say staring out into the forest.
-
"Let's search around a little bit," Geoff said.
"I hope we can figure out which fruit is actually edible."
Yet another thing Zaida should know. He sure was stupid trying to leave her so many days ago...
-
I follow geoff as we enter into the forest.
-
Zaida studied the temples under the mountains that they took shelter in. She squinted as she looked at the paintings on the wall before erasing them with black paint, which was her blood from her wounds. She huffed continuing to lerk around.
-
((I need to sleep. night all :3 .))
Fout sighed. "I am going to stay here for now.... I have had enough of being eaten and attacked..."
-
Geoff went back into the temple to grab the net he got from Alistair to perhaps use as a sack. He saw Zaida exploring.
"Uh, hey Zaida, how are you doing?"
-
I waited for Geoff to get back.
-
Geoff waited for Zaida to respond. Maybe she was too occupied and didn't hear him. He shrugged and walked out of the temple to meet back up with Chains.
-
((sorry for not responding sooner.))
Zaida heard him clearly but didn't know what to say, she opened her mouth but he walked off and she shut it back up staring at the beauty but some sad ruins of the temple.
-
((Sokay. :3 ))
Geoff and Chains walked through the jungle--making sure not to go too far away--looking for fruits. Geoff planned on gathering different types then showing Zaida, and she could pick out which are edible or not.
-
I see a tree with red and roind fruit on it.
"Hey geoff," i call out. "I think i found an apple tree."
-
"an... apple tree? In the jungle?"
Geoff took a closer look.
"They... do look like apples don't they?"
He climbed up the tree a bit to grab four of them (for each person), then hopped back down. He placed three of them in the net and kept one out to examine.
-
"Some down, more to go." i say walking off to find more fruit.
-
The red fruit looked and felt no different than a typical apple, at least to him. He was far from an apple expert. He set it in the net with the others and continued on with Chains.
He spotted two plants next to each other, both bearing fruit. One's was yellow with soft spikes; the other's, purple and pear-shaped.
"Purple pears...? I hope they taste like 'em."
Once again, he grabbed four of each.
-
I was skeptical about the yellow spiked one.
"Maybe we should let Zaida look at some of these and see if they are edible." I say.
-
"Yeah, that's what I'm planning," Geoff replied. "I mean, there's plenty of better known fruits that look bad but are good for you. I'm sure here is no different. We just need her to check and make sure."
Geoff continued walking, and stepped on a green vine. His eyes followed it to a bunch of small melon-like things.
"Oooh."
He grabbed two and put them in the net.
-
"water melon?" I asked looking at the melon like fruit.
-
"That's what they look like... but they're small. Hopefully not too young..."
He looked around and saw another tree with fruit. These were pale yellow and looked kind-of like radishes.
He began to climb up the tree to reach them.
((I'm just thinking about the berries in Pokemon with this. XD ))
-
"You got them?" I call out holding the net open.
-
He reached his hand out to touch the fruits and moved them a tad... to find a massive buzzing insect. It looked like a wasp but with dark purple stripes and leg tips.
Geoff gasped and quickly clambered down, jumping halfway, then snatched the net of fruit from Chains and began running.
"NOPERUNRUNRUNRUNRUN"
-
Looking up I saw the insect. taking my hand I swip just as the bug got close, my claws cutting it in half.
-
Geoff bent down to grab his spear... suddenly the area was filled with intense buzzing.
He straightened up and looked at Chains, his face displaying pure horror.
He ran as fast as he could, trying to keep grip on the fruit-filled net.
-
I could handle one little bug, but a bunch, no. I turn and take off running.
"runrunrunrunrunrunRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!!!!!" I exclaim as I ran.
-
Out from the trees came a swarm.
Geoff almost sobbed as he ran. Of all insects, it had to be the one type he's extremely afraid of!
He and Chains ran through the jungle back toward the hidden temple.
-
As I run I start taking my chain off. turning around I twirl it around, getting momentum.
-
Geoff quickly squeezed into the entrance of the temple and set the net down. Panting and panicking, he looked back to see Chains still out there.
He didn't want to go back out there. He hated wasps. He REALLY hated wasps. But he couldn't leave Chains out there alone...
Not even bothering to explain to the others, he grabbed two sticks from the fire pit and rapidly rubbed them together until they began to smoke.
"c-c'mon...!"
Flames started consuming the end of one of the sticks.
Geoff jumped up and ran as fast as he could out, wielding the flaming stick.
-
spinning my chain around in the air, I cut down groups of wasps. However, there were too many of them.
(I imagine him like in prince of persia two thrones.)
-
Zaida heard the wasps but was too busy looking at the painting on the rock wall covered up messily from her black blood, looking like ink was slashed about. She sighed making sure they were covered.
-
Geoff prepared for the worst and held out his flaming stick toward the swarm and waved it about, hoping to burn them and make them flee. The swarm began to move back.
-
they all seemed to have started dispersing until they were all gone. Panting, I start winding my chain up and putting it over my shoulders.
-
Geoff slapped the apparent last one with his stick, making it flop to the ground.
He looked at the flames on his stick, back to the retreating swarm, then back to the flames.
"Ha... Haha..."
He broke into post-terror laughter, shaking.
-
"Well, that was something." I said putting my chain back around my shoulder.
-
Geoff looked at Chains with a smile still mixed with fear.
"Aaah, I fffriggen hate wasps!" he cried.
-
"Well, that is enough excitment for now." i saw walking into the temple and laying somewhere.
(Night everyone, i am going to bed.)
-
Geoff nodded and went back into the temple.
After moving the fruits to a better place, he laid down nearby and took a nap.
((Good night! :3 I'll probably still be on for a while.))
-
Fout also went to sleep, sitting by the fire.
-
I get up, freezing a little. I get up and collect more wood and place it on the burnt out fire and start it to get warmed up a bit.
-
((Freezing in the jungle? D: ))
Geoff woke up and stretched. Feeling something underneath him, he rolled over to take a look.
It was one of those wasps.
He continued to roll further away.
"Nnnn-nnn-nnn...!"
He stopped and looked at it again. It was clearly dead.
"Nnn--oh, I crushed it, haa...."
Laughing nervously, he plucked the dead wasp up hesitantly in his claws and immediately threw it into the fire. His hand made a twitchy motion as he backed away.
"Nnn-w-wasps..."
-
(It can get pretty cold during early in the morning.)
I hear laughing and look to see Geoff laughing.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
-
"I-I-It's not funny... w-well, aside from... me crushing a fffriggen wasp in my sleep..."
-
"That is quite odd." I say, "I thought we killed all of them."
-
Geoff sat down and hugged his legs.
"I d-didn't know there w-were wasps here--how do--what do--I don't wanna go outside anymore..."
-
"You're not going outside because of one little bug?" I ask in disbelief.
-
"I... I thought the spider was far more scary..."
Fout suddenly seemed wide awake.
-
Geoff glared at Chains.
He motioned his arms for emphasis.
"F-f-f-guh! It's a wasp! A jungle wasp! And y-you know, how friggen--this place--full'a crazy--that thing coulda killed if it stung...!"
-
"well, we've survived this long." I say sitting next to Geoff.
-
"And it's not just "one little bug". Remember the swarm we tried to fight off earlier? I'm surprised we didn't get stung then!"
Geoff huffed.
"I won't be able to walk through that jungle without... fearing THAT again..."
-
"I like to think that no where is truly completely safe." I say
-
Fout shook his head. "Most wasps you can just avoid by looking out for them, and not running into them. should be easy!"
...
"...As long as we don't go blind anyway..."
-
Geoff curled up on the ground.
"Sure, if you think so..."
He closed his eyes as if he was about to go back to sleep, but he was only thinking.
((My mood is crap from real life problems right now. I'll try to keep posting, though))
-
(I am at work)
-
Fout sighed. "What is our end goal here... we are still planning to escape right? question is how..."
-
((Mind telling me where you are all at))
-
((3 of us are all round the camp-fire I believe.))
-
"We could try boat." I suggested.
-
Geoff frowned.
"I'm pretty sure we went over this already," he grumbled. "Sea monsters and shit. We're stuck in... Freaky Waspville."
-
"We could try smoke signal when someone flies over." I say
-
((Last post from me for tonight :3 ))
"And then they crash to..." Fout commented. "and another fur is trapped here"
-
I scowl,
"Do any of you have any suggestions then."
-
"Survive," Geoff said. "Survive and survive. I don't think we have any more options..."
-
"There's got to be a way." I say putting my hands over my eyes and rubbing them.
-
((Swear to god I hate my family, might be off and on...))
Zaida laid under the temple resting and thinking deeply she huffed and dozed off thinking about her old tribe.
-
I walk back to see zaida laying on the floor.
I go and sit next to her closing my eyes and think about my brothers.
-
((I thought we already were in the temple.))
-
(I changed it)
-
Geoff rolled onto his back and peered up at the distant temple ceiling in thought. He wondered what was happening back home. By now, the plane's disappearance must have been reported. No one knew of his attempt to fly out of Scotland, and he was already homeless, so if by some chance his parents noticed he wasn't in town, they probably thought he migrated to another one or was murdered.
Maybe after all this time, his father finally realized how stupid their fight was and regrets his decision to kick him out so early. Geoff still wouldn't have wanted to go back, at least if this island incident didn't happen. Now he would love to go back. He was tired of being hungry all the time, tired of fighting and fleeing for his life, tired of worrying any step could get him killed. And maybe... maybe he actually missed his parents a little bit, as well as the rest of his family. They may have not approved of him entirely, but they still cared.
How long had he been on this island, anyway? It was hard to remember. So much stuff happened, and his sleeping schedule had been sporadic. A week? Eight, nine days? Maybe more than that. Lord.
And only time will tell how many more are ahead...
-
Fout... in a strange way... had rather enjoyed being on the island. he was used to fighting for survival, but for prehaps the first time he had a group of people with him in the same situation. The loss of technology was a bummer. He pulled out Geoff's phone from his pocket...
There must be an explanation for all this...
What if it isn't an accident, it could be part of the rocks, or it could be something physically jamming it! Fout's eyes went wide. Find out what causes the technology to go wrong... then find a way to destroy it.
-
Geoff turned his head to look at Fout and his phone in his hand.
"Oh hey, I forgot about that," he said.
He sat himself up.
-
"Not like it matters..." Fout looked up and grinned "not yet."
-
"You figure out how to get it working?"
-
Fout shook his head. "But I think I will soon..."
Fout glanced around. "Look... isn't it a bit... convenient? vicious island full of evil monsters, and our technology does not work?"
-
"I suppose so. What do you think is causing it?"
-
"a Cold war experiment perhaps? I don't think its natural."
-
"'a Cold war experiment...'"
Geoff rested his chin in his hand. "Huh... think everything here could be related to that?"
-
"its a complete guess..." Fout stated, "I won't know... actually no, it can't be cold war... look at this temple..."
-
Geoff looked around... "Yeah..."
He noticed some of the walls were smudged in what appeared to be black ink. He had examined the temple when they first got there, and there were paintings before.
"Huh... See that black stuff on the walls? That wasn't there before..."
-
Fout looked at the ink... "huh..."
Fout started to try to scrape some of it off...
-
Geoff did so as well.
Up close, the substance smelled odd, like blood.
"How did this even get on here?" he muttered.
-
((need to go, and I won't be on again until late (if at all) ))
-
((Alright. See ya later. :3 ))
-
I sit there, thinking. How where Richard and James doing. They must really be worried, not knowing where there brother had gone. who know maybe they think I am dead. I don't want them to think that.
"I need to get back to my brothers." I whisper to myself.
-
As Fout wipes away the black substance, he thinks.
"Temple walls... contain the people's history right? Maybe it can give us a clue to what... whats going on here?"
-
I hear Fout, I look around and see him near a wall with black paint.
"What you doing?" I ask walking up to him.
-
Zaida looked where they were, she had already covered the paintings with her black blood, not that it was important it just reminded her of bad memories
-
Fout finally scraped enough of the blood off to see what was underneath. "L... looking at the wall, and scraping recent paint off them."
-
Showing Zaida's old tribe of showed slaughter of other tribes, the ones that gave shelter for the survivors or the ones that he considered 'weak', showing a large grey Sergal roaring commands in a wide sickening smile.
Zaida looked seeing some of the paintings her ears leaned back.
-
Fout swallowed. "Is... is that...?"
-
Oddly a female southern Sergal a pink or somewhat violet color crying on her knee's seemingly to be a survivor, reaching to others. Another picture The large chiseled northern Sergal feets taller than her (northern a are larger than southerns) holding her back to watch forcefully, the female also having a lump on her stomach showing she was pregnant.
Zaida got up silently leaving not wanting to see the paintings, she went to the pond just out of the hidden temple laying down watching the fishes swim by.
-
"Is this your tribe zaida?" I ask more to my self then to her.
-
Geoff took a closer look at the painting. Although he saw it before, he didn't really pay close enough attention to draw anything from it.
He turned and saw Zaida walk away.
"I think Zaida covered it up," he whispered to Fout.
-
Fouts eyes went wide. "Is... is she... mad.... mad at me for uncovering it?"
-
"It looks like something she didn't want to remember." I say to Geoff and Fout walking up and touching the wall where the dried blood was.
-
"Well, I'm not sure how we can cover it up again," Geoff said, feeling a little bad.
-
I take my chain arrow and start chiseling away at the wall.
-
"Oh hey, that's a good idea."
-
"It is a good thing it is a softer kind of stone. My arrow would be destroyed if it was." I saw between swings.
-
"I don't like destroying the past..." Fout mumbles. "It still happened... but know we have no way of knowing what happened..."
-
"There was a reason Zaida whipped blood over this. I rather her happy?" I say, stopping long enough to catch my breath.
-
Geoff watched Chains scrape at the wall, then he remembered.
"Oh, the fruit," he said. "We should have Zaida take a look at em."
-
"I'll be here, go have Zaida check the fruit." I said not turning away from the wall.
-
Zaida fell asleep her paws in the pond which the small fishes came up and nibbled at.
-
Fout creeps up to Ziada, nudging her with one paw...
"Z... Zaida... you... you have a map right?"
-
((*pokes Zaida* Boop. o_o ))
-
((Sorry won't be posting that much this week))
Zaida opened one eye looking at angder. "No.." She said simply pointing to the temples.
-
"Damn..." Fout backed away.
-
I continued to chisel at the wall, most of the mural gone now
-
Zaida continued to put her paws in the pond petting some fish like creatures that swam by.
-
"Uh, hey Zaida," Geoff said.
"Chains and I gathered some random fruit we found. Could you check if they're good to eat or not?"
-
I finish chiseling out the mural and notice my arrow head going blunt. Shrugging, I start chiseling out a new one.
-
"Mhm" she said sitting up and looking at some that he picked out with a plain face beginning to separate some from the others.
-
As I stood there chiseling, new pictures were starting to take form, One of a fox in a trench coat, a bear, one of a koala and the other a sergal. Many pics were starting to form forming depicting our adventures here on the island.
-
((Koala, Hobbit sized))
-
(Thanks, I changed it.)
-
A couple calm days passed as the group hung around the temple, catching fish and gathering fruit, chatting, occasionally looking out for any predators or tribesmen that may be lurking nearby. But everything was surprisingly quiet, and the survivors were quite thankful for that.
Geoff felt much more at home here, and he was happy to have his new family by his side. He spent some of the time doodling with charcoal on stone. Many of the doodles were cartoon likenesses of the group, tribesmen, and the creatures they came across during their adventures.
Geoff woke up in the morning and, wanting to have a little time alone, decided to take a stroll. He grabbed his spear and walked out into the jungle.
By nightfall, he still hadn't returned.
-
I looked around,
"Hey where's Geoff?" I ask looking around not seeing him.
-
Zaida looked at the walls seeing pictures of them, oddly she took off her bandage that covered her wound and rubbed her black blood across the picture of herself, the blood dried then stained.
-
*Xiu wakes up,the crumpled bricks around hin signal he fell through something*
(im back!)
-
Zaida slides down the wall and pets her tail being deep in thought and depressed but didn't let it show.
-
*Xiu groans and moves a few crumbled bricks,his body near a water hole and a entrance to something*
-
Zaida finally hearing chains spoke. "He went to walk in the early morning." She said before hearing a noise deep in the temple she grabbed her jagged machete and followed the noise.
-
*Xiu hears something and sighs,getting up*
-
Zaida jumps down standing in front of him tilting her head just a bit. "Xiu? You are alive?" She dropped the machete, surprised.
-
"yes,yes i am"*he brushes of his shoulder *
-
"You were dead?" Feeling bad she said. "Sorry I left you, you were sleeping so long"
-
"Yes,i remember that night,nice to know you 'missed' me"*he says sarcastically*
-
I look to the wall that i had carved out, I saw that zaida had been covered over with the blood. I was actually upset and I tried to whip it off.
-
Her ears laid back. "I didn't know" she says her head down, feeling awfully ashamed of herself. "I'm very sorry"
-
"Now,if you don't mind...im voing to crawl out my grave"*he looks at the large hole*"im not fond of this island"
-
Zaida looked hearing chains. She huffed confused what to do thinking of another way to apologize. "Mm" she hugged the deer and awkwardly trying. "Sorry" she said quietly she wanted to help everyone not leave them behind.
-
Fout looked up, finally absorbing what had been said...
"Ge... Ge....Geoff is... is... gone??"
"no... no no no no no no no no"
Fout ran around the side of the temple, looking for his tracks. finding some foot prints that might have been Geoff's, Fout pointed. "we... we... we should... follow, what if he is... in trouble or dead or..." Fout swallowed hard.
-
Geoff continued wandering around the jungle miserably. He had gotten lost and kept trying to find his way back. Chances are he ended up even further away now. The dawn sun was already shining through the trees...
-
"We really need to find geoff." i said looking around,
Getting down on all four i started sniffing the ground.
-
"You... you followed me through following my sent right? can.... can you do the same thing for Geoff? Please tell me you can please..."
-
"I should be able to, if I can find his scent." I said still sniffing the ground.
-
Zaida grabbed the deer's hand and ran to the others. "Xiu is alive, where is Geoff?" She asked. "Is he not back yet?"
-
Fout shook his head. "he's gone... What if something happened to him!"
-
"Looking for him!" i call nose to the floor.
"Dang, does anyone have anything i can identify geoff' d scent with?" i ask looking to the others.
-
"W... will this do?" I pass Chains Geoff's phone.
-
"This should be good" i say taking the phone and sniffing it. I went to the ground and went back to sniffing.
"Aha!" i exclaim, "this way."
-
((Damn it, I had a thing planned with another person, but they stayed up all night and went to bed not long ago. Might have to do something slightly different now. ))
Geoff tiredly sat upon a log, listening to the birds calling from the trees. He hadn't been alone for so long in quite a while. He was worried he may not be able to make it back to the group.
Maybe he had to survive alone now, like he tried to near the beginning of his stay on the island. Now that the shock from the accident wore off for the most part--and after getting his ass kicked into gear by their encounters--he may be more fit to handle it.
No. No, he wasn't. Not enough, anyway. The moment he gets cocky is the moment some monster or manic cannibal tears his throat out. And no one will be there to stop it...
-
I followed his scent stopping long enough to get to the trail.
-
Fout followed chains. "Where... where shall we go?"
-
"I'm following Geoff's scent I say sniffing and turning right.
-
*Xiu was walking through a wooded area*
-
Zaida was following Xiu both following the others. "In sure he is fine, he is smart?"
-
"I... hope so..."
-
*Xiu looks around the trees,before he falls into a pit*"AH **censor** TRAP!!"
-
Zaida caught herself on the edge. She looked down. "Are you ok?" She said fearing it was a tiger trap
-
Fout Jumped to the edge of the trap. "I... I am sorry... I should have seen it..." Fout offered his hand down to Xiu.
-
Zaida caught herself on the edge. She looked down. "Are you ok?" She said fearing it was a tiger trap
"No...no im not"
-
Zaida made her tail stretch down. "Can you reach my tail?" She asked.
-
*he grabs the tail*
-
"An... Anything I can do to help?"
-
Zaida bids putting a hand to him. "Pull me up, and we both can get him out" she said trying to hold on.
-
Fout grabs Zaida's hand and pulls.
-
Zaida uses her back legs slowly climbing up. She made her tail wrap on Xiu's hands and arms making sure she got him up safely
-
"Well now that that is over, i found the trail again." I said after sniffing around the ground.
-
After walking for hours, Geoff stopped and looked around, listening closely. He held his spear in battle position. He thought he heard something big lurking through the trees, and it could be coming for him...
-
Alistair steadied himself as he kept quiet while crawling through the trees, he didn't know it was Geoff just yet that he was seeing. The saber got closer and closer until he saw it was Geoff, he let out loud noises of general happiness and bound over to him.
-
"You could have helped dog" she said a bit rude. "And you can track without you nose on the ground...." She said helping Xiu to his feet and thanking angder.
-
Geoff jumped wide-eyed as the massive pink saber bounded toward him.
"AAH--AL--?!
Suddenly the ground collapsed as the saber jumped in front of him, and they both tumbled down into the abyss.
Geoff screamed in terror as he fell.
-
Al clung to the bear, making sure Geoff was facing upward and Al's back to whatever could be at the bottom of the pit.
-
Geoff shut his eyes tight and prepared for his death upon impact...
SPLAAASH!
The two slammed into a pool of water, deep at the bottom of the sinkhole.
The air in Geoff's lungs was knocked out of his body from the impact. He flailed, trying desperately to reach the surface.
-
Al felt Geoff flailing, immediately grabbing him by the scruff, and pushing off the bottom of the pool of water. Huffing and puffing through his nose he dragged his friend onto the dirt, setting him down gently. The saber looked up at the hole he made, embarrassed that he bound over in such a manner that caused this situation.
-
Geoff coughed and choked, trying to catch his breath. He looked up to see the light from the mouth of the hole quite a ways up.
He croaked. "Ohh--*cough*--Oh no..."
-
Al scowled, sitting down next to the bear he sneezed out some water. "Arowmph."
-
Fout glanced at Chains, "Can... can you lead the way... We need to find Geoff..."
-
Geoff turned to Alistair.
"Th-that was something, huh...? You alright?"
-
Zaida huffed. "You can follow the man that smells dirt I will move on and find hi" she says looking at the floor and the area around her and looking for Geoff.
-
Al gently bopped Geoff on the nose, he was alright; still just embarrassed that this had happened in the first place.
-
Fout looked between the two, then reluctantly followed Zaida.
-
Geoff smiled and sat himself up with a grunt.
"What do we do now..."
-
Al chuffed in a few locations, then walked down the dark tunnel. The saber motioned for Geoff to go with him.
-
Zaida looked at foot prints and moved branches finding just small pieces of fur. 'He went this way I'm sure'
-
Geoff followed Alistair.
They walked single file in the tunnel until they got to a point where it was wide enough for them both to move freely.
"Woah... wonder if we can find our way back up..."
-
Al stood in front of Geoff, demanding that he stop as he heard some rumbling from above them. He wasn't exactly sure what it was, but he certainly hoped it was nothing.
-
A few small Rocks tumbled down, the rumbling increasing.
-
Geoff moved away from the falling rocks, looking up.
"Shit..." he grunted. "I think we need to move quickly..."
-
Al grabbed Geoff, running back into the dark tunnel to look for other ways out. He groaned quietly, then once he got his footing right he continued down a different path.
-
Geoff kept near Al. He trusted the saber's vision in the dark more than his own.
-
Al often turned and made sure Geoff kept a paw on him for safety. Suddenly stopping many feet down the new path he stopped, licking the salt deposit he found.
-
Geoff stopped and gave Al an odd look. "What're--Oh. Heh... Find some salt?"
He leaned on his spear as he waited, looking back where they came, then forward, curious of where they might end up. He exhaled irritably, holding a hand on his growling stomach.
-
Al tore out a chunk of salt, holding it in his jaws he did his saber shuffle down the path with the large salt piece.
-
Geoff laughed as he followed the saber. "Well, at least you found something to enjoy..."
They made their way into a wide area with four tunnels.
Geoff peered at each. "Uh... Which one?"
-
Al chuffed into each tunnel, two of the chuffs didn't echo back; meaning two of them were dead ends. Studying the other two carefully he took the first tunnel.
-
Geoff followed.
He held his spear ready in case something popped out at them.
-
(Sorry i was gone for so long, i was sleeping.)
I looked arond me noticing everyone was gone.
"Great, now i'm alone." i said continuing my search for geoff.
-
Fout continued to follow Zaida, he was starting to panic a little though....
-
Zaida looked before finding another pit a bit larger. "This is were it ends..." Feeling bad her ears laid back. "Did chains follow... I didn't mean to be rude I just.." She sighed.
-
Fout ingored the question, and peered into the pit. "G...G...Geoff... No... You can not be dead..."
-
"He is alive, I smell no blood... And no dead body do not worry but we cannot leave another"
-
Fout nodded, and moved back quietly, he then looked back the way they came. "Chains is back there somewhere..."
-
Geoff felt like he and Alistair had been walking through tunnels for hours. As far as he knew, they could be going around in a circle. He let his guard down a while ago, not really sensing much danger. Aside from the dripping of water and their footsteps, it was pretty much quiet. His attention was fully--well, mostly--focused on finding a way out. The rest of his attention was on the ache in his belly.
"Wish we had some food..."
He tensed up for a moment. He had spoken softly, but suddenly hearing his voice bouncing off the cave walls spooked him a little.
Al was occupied by the chunk of salt, but chances are he was still pretty hungry as well. Geoff trusted Al now, but the massive feral saber may turn on him once starvation sets in, and he highly doubted he could take down such a beast. He hoped they could get back to the surface before it gets to that point.
-
The scent seemed like it was getting stronger. I kept following till I came upon a tunnel.
-
Al squinted as he walked along with Geoff, a bright light in the distance. Chuffing at the bear to make sure the other was seeing it too, the saber's stomach rumbled; showing that he was far beyond hungry; Being feral but with the intelligence of an anthro meaning he wasn't going to be eating his friend any time soon. If at all.
Once they were at the end of the tunnel, they pushed out, and into a beautiful opening. A large, old tree had grown over the roof of the opening; Creating a beautiful scenery and a useful hiding place.
-
Geoff gaped at the beauty as well as their arrival to the surface.
He cautiously peeked out to see the scenic stretch of land they reached was surrounded by mountains, closed off from the rest of the world.
-
Al gaped at the beauty with Geoff, dropping the 5kg salt chunk on the bear's foot.
-
Geoff yelped as the salt chunk landed on his foot and hopped backwards, tripping on a rock and tumbling onto his back.
"FFF--Sss--aagh!"
He gripped his sore foot, rasping through gritted teeth, though jokingly. "Y-you lil shit...!"
-
Al shuffled over slowly, looking at Geoff with his ears back and pupils dilated. He felt sorry, he was just surprised at the beautiful scenery.
-
Geoff pet the saber, smiling. "It's alright. You didn't mean to..."
He stood back up and walked further out. "Now we can find something to eat."
-
Al signaled for Geoff to be quiet as he had spotted a rather large mountain goat, crawling lowly across the ground as he prepared to ambush. The pink salts against the rocky surface camouflaging him.
-
Geoff stayed silent and kept hidden as he watched Al stalk the goat with anticipation.
-
Pausing when the goat's ear moved he held his breath. The second the animals guard was back down he went in for the kill; quickly pouncing and biting down on the spine.
-
The goat screamed as it was bit, and after some struggle, fell limp.
"Nice kill, Al."
Geoff walked over and took a look at it. He glanced at the massive saber and back.
"Alright, so... how should we divide this guy up?... Guessing you like yours raw."
He gathered some sticks and started a fire, then worked on preparing and cooking his portion of the meat, leaving the rest for Alistair. Yet another job his pocket knife would have been useful for, but his spear did the job well enough. As he worked, he wondered how the rest of the group was doing. Maybe they were worried about him, especially Fout. He wished he could show them the way here.
He was a bit impatient while cooking the meat, leaving some pieces slightly under-cooked, but he was too hungry to mind.
-
Zaida huffed growing aggravated. "You can find the others... I believe I helped enough. Too much danger around all of you..." She says coldly "and too much work" she oddly acted different and began to walk off with her jagged machete drawn. "Do not run into me as well... We are not friends no more..." She said in a low gurgle growl a determined face, as she walked off she walked straight and confident showing no sign of weakness.
-
Fout watched Zaida leave...
"What... what now..."
Fout starts to climb down the hole.
-
Al sat and stripped the kill, setting the pelt aside he dug into the carcass. The horns of the now deceased goat looked as if they could be good tools if one could dislodge them from the base of its skull.
-
I looked around. Somehow, i had gotten lost.
"Hello!" I call out.
-
Fout decends deeper into the pit. It went further down than Fout expected...
Eventually, he landed at the bottom, it was dark. but Fout was used to the dark.
-
Geoff ended up cooking a little more than he'd normally eat, but not wanting to waste, he managed to eat every bite.
He relaxed with his back against a large rock.
"Ahh, much better," he sighed with a stretch.
"Never had goat before... Pretty good, I think."
Geoff wished Alistair could speak back. He wondered what he would say, what things they could discuss. Alistair seemed to be capable of complex thought and understanding unusual in ferals. Surely he had interesting stories to tell.
-
"Hello!" i called out.
"Anyone there?"
-
Fout hears someone shout from somewhere... slowly, he creeps forward, towards the voice.
-
I was starting to get a lkttle scared. I didn't knkw what was out here.
"Please, someone amswer me!" i cqlled out again.
-
Zaida was on a tree watching chains before jumping down with her jagged machete drawn, her fur was cleaner showing every detail and black patterns along with her eyes glowing brighter and loocked on him.
-
I hear someone land behind me.
"Oh, zaida. You almost gave me a heart attack."
-
((Wait, is chains in the caves or outside? ))
-
((Outside it seems.))
-
((Outside))
Zaida huffed looking him up and down spinning the machete and spoke some type of language with a serious but soothing voice.
-
Fout explored for some time. He lost the trail fairly quickly, but was careful not to get lost...
The possiblity Geoff was dead kept coming to the front of his mind, soon he would have to just give up
-
((Ah.))
Geoff stretched out on the ground, trusting no danger would come with the saber around. Maybe they should try to find their way back to Fout and the others in the morning.
He soon drifted to sleep.
((Still here, btw))
-
"Um, zaida, i can't understand you," i said walking closer to her.
-
Zaida huffed using her foot to toss a stone at his head to keep her distance.
-
The stone bounces off my head as i fall over. I sit up rubbing my head.
"Ow, what was that for?" i ask.
-
Zaida stared before turning to leave, instead of walking she bolted up the tree making eg the leaves rustle.
-
"Wait!" i called after.
-
Zaida stayed hidden and looked down. She gave a gurgle growl before saying. "What..."
-
Geoff only slept briefly, his stomach starting to hurt. He grimaced as he sat himself up. He thought he should probably stay still, but he was feeling restless. With his spear, he stood up and walked about the mouth of the cave. Not paying attention, he stubbed his toe on the salt chunk Al dropped--with the same foot the thing fell on, too.
He winced. "Sss--Aaaah...!"
He peered at it with squinting eyes, then kicked it with his heel a few times into the cave. The last one went at an angle, and it pushed against the cave wall and rolled to the other side.
"Hmmm..."
Geoff grunted as he reached down to grab a rock, then aimed it at the cave wall, smiling as if he thought of something clever. He threw the rock hard, and it shot off it, bouncing to the opposite wall and back again, then rolled on the floor to the opposite wall's side, the echos traveling down the tunnel. He laughed.
"Yeeeaaah! Ahaha--ow..."
He clutched his stomach.
-
"I need help finding the others." i said looking in zaidas general direction.
-
"East, at a pit" she says before jumping to branches in different trees the rustling beginning to fade as she went farther.
-
I started travelling where zaida said.
"Why isnt she with the others?" i ask myself.
-
Al's ear twitched at hearing the rock echo, he groaned softly at Geoff; rolling onto his other side with a huff. The pink salt getting in his fur, which he apparently didn't mind.
-
(( I almost died!... Ugh people don't know how to drive >:0 ))
Zaida stopped when she thought she was far and closed her eyes, deep in thought she sighed.
-
I came across a cabe. Something told me to go in.
"Hello!" i called in
-
Fout heard someone call outThe call echoed around the caves. Fout started to make his way through the caves towards the yell.
-
((Not toward the rock thing? he's closer to that, I think. D: ))
((On second thought, Chains is in the other tunnel in the branch-off that Geoff and Al didn't go through, so he likely heard both. ))
-
((A rock hitting the wall could potentially be natural, A voice is definitely a person.))
-
((Good point.))
Geoff thought he heard something make noise in the cave. It was faint, and to him, it sounded more like a feral creature. He hadn't seen anything in the caves--which he was surprised about--so something must have decided to wander in later on. He was curious about what it might be, but decided to stay where he was. It would be stupid to go in and get pounced by a potential predator.
He continued picking up rocks and tossing them at the wall, watching them bounce back and forth with great amusement. The noise would probably keep the animal away as well.
-
FOut had heard the first rock bounce, but had dismissed it as a natural occurrence, a rock bouncing continuously... less so. Now he had two possible targets... he came to a fork. and had to decide which way to go.... towards the voice, or the rocks.
-
Alistair, who was still outside near the mouth of the cave trying to sleep, made another loud groan at Geoff.
"Oh. sorry, Al," Geoff called out to him.
-
"Hello!?" i called again
Why am i even calling, there was no one in here; yet, there was some forxe pushing me to keep going forward.
-
Fout made a decision, and headed towards the rock, both seemed to be heading his way, so he could head back later, he hurried so if he needed to he could check both passages.
-
I kept alking eventually hearing rock bouncing off the wall.
-
Geoff stopped throwing the rocks to stop bothering Alistair. He heard that strange noise in the distance again.
Now he could hear hurried footsteps, but clearly made with shoes, not paws.
"H-Hello?" He called, shaking a little, holding his spear ready just in case.
((Assuming Fout is wearing shoes))
-
Fout emerged in front of Geoff. "Ge.. Geoff!" Fout glomps Geoff.
-
"Fout!"
Geoff hugged Fout tight, patting him on the back. "How'd you get here?"
-
"Followed you." Fout stated. "same as last time."
-
"Ah... wh-where's Chains and Zaida? Are they okay?"
-
"Chains walked off on his own to come find you... Zaida... she..." Fout sighed. "I think she has abandoned us."
-
Geoff frowned. "Wh--seriously? Why?"
-
"nnnn... no idea." Fout sighed. "I guess we are alone again..."
-
"Yeah... What was that noise back in there? Was that yelling?"
-
"I... don't know, I was going to check it out after checking out the clattering from your rock..."
-
The stone stopped.
"Hello!" i call out.
-
"Oh..."
Geoff chuckled.
"Uh, well, we should do--"
He heard the calling, sounding clearer this time.
"Wait..." He thought about that voice. "Is that Chains?"
He started running down the tunnel.
-
I hear running and start eunning towards the steps.
-
Geoff heard the steps and, in the darkness of the cave, just managed to see a form running toward him in the distance.
"Chains, is that you?" he called
-
I stop.
"Geoff?"
-
"Yeah!"
He ran over to Chains, just nearly running into him.
"Woops! Hey, you alright?"
-
"I am fine man" i said holding his shoulder to help keep feom running into me.
-
"Chains... Zaida... she..."
-
"Yeah, i just saw her." i said to fout.
-
Fout nodded. "I Guess its just us now..."
-
"What happened anyways?" i ask sitting down.
-
"I... Don't know. She said we were too much effort... to keep alive..."
-
Geoff led them out through the mouth of the cave, where a tree grew over the top. The somewhat small, scenic stretch of land was surrounded by mountains, making the caves the only pathway to it. Alistair, the feral saber, lay sleeping.
"If... Zaida really abandoned us... I think this is a good place to stay for now," Geoff said.
"We haven't explored too much of the land yet, but it seems peaceful enough..."
He sighed and leaned on his spear. "This is my fault. I'm sorry, guys..."
-
Zaida was at the large mountain having a piece of fabric of one of there shirts. She calmed back to her old tribe her head low and her tail dragging until she kneeled a bit afraid to get punished.
Deep in the large temple was pitch black from the shadows two yellow dots with flowing light looked down at her. "Ca?"
She set the piece down.
The large Sergal stepped off his throne. He walked to her. "And what exactly killed them?"
"A pit, by surprise they fell down"
Zardoff huffed looking at her eyes deeply. "...Well is that so"
-
"Well, who needs her, we can survive on our own." i said following geoff.
-
Fout glanced around. "This place looks nice actually. better than that cave from earlier."
-
Geoff sat down on a rock with a quiet groan, feeling a little ill.
"Yeah... at least something good came out of this..."
-
I sit down, looking at the surroundings.
-
Zaida looked at his eyes holding a serious expression.
He gave a snarling smile before grabbing her hair, her feet off the ground. He sniffed her arm and tail. "LIES!" He roared loudly making it echo through the island bird flying from the tree's, Zaida's screech of pain followed after her ears in pain from his roar. "You lie to me! I smell them they are fresh, you are WEAK!" He snapped at her face.
-
Geoff looked up at the sky with wide eyes, hearing the roar.
"**censor**... no..."
-
My ears perk.
"You hear that?" i ask looking around.
-
Zaida was thrown to the floor. She growled and got up the tribe beginning to play drums loudly.
Zardoff grabbed her neck pinning her down and choking her. "One chance... Bring the bodies and I will accept you, or you can die a weak coward!!" He roared until Zardoff let go turning around to walk away.
-
Geoff gritted his teeth.
"You know what?" he huffed, dropping his spear beside the rock he sat on.
"I don't care. I di--I really don't care."
He crossed his arms.
"He can roar all the fff--damn hell he wants. He can be like--do--act--fugger can think he's all high and mighty, I don't give a bloody rat's tail! Forget him. Zardoff can suck my nnn--"
He punched his thigh, huffing furiously.
-
"Who is zardoff?" i ask.
-
((Zardoff is the leader of Zaida's old tribe. Zaida has told our characters about him already))
-
"Oh, him." i said.
-
Fout gestures at his tattoo. "I really don't want to meet him.."
-
"I bet i can take him." i said laying down.
-
She snarled and grabbed a spear rubbing to him as the drums went louder.
Zardoff simply turned around grabbed the blade making is paw bleed. He roared throwing a kick towards her making her fly back, she got up and bit his arm but one hard slam to her head, she realized she was hanging from the edge with struggle feeling light headed.
Zardoff smiled. "Come back with their bodies, if not die as a weak coward" he foot was holding her wrists his claws digging in making her screech loudly with pain, and he let go watching her fall as he held his determined face and walked back to his throne.
-
Geoff glared at Chains, agitated.
"As long as we stay quiet, we can avoid him," he stated. "That means no guns. No... no... loud things... And we stick around here...u-until shit happens to... happen... ugh..."
He leaned forward, hugging himself. Getting angry only made him feel more ill.
-
"Loud things shouldn't be a problem." I said
"My guns are useless without any bullets."
-
Fout sighed. "Loud is not a problem if they come here to find us by tracking us..."
-
"How would they do that?"
-
"I managed it." Fout states simply. "If I can do it, and chains can do it. so can they."
-
Geoff stayed silent, looking at the ground.
-
"If they do come, they better be prepared." I said trying to act tough but secretly Shaking in fear.
-
Fout wasted no energy pretending to be brave. he was already glancing around, and noting the good places to hide in.
-
I looked at the small racoon,
"You always seem on edge and think you are being chased, Why is that?" I ask
-
((Koala))
"Most of the time I AM being chased."
-
Geoff slumped off his rock and lay down, staying quiet, his mind still stuck on what Fout said.
"...if they come here to find us by tracking us... "
"If I can do it, and Chains can do it. so can they."
He felt like throwing up.
-
(Dang it.)
"I am curious now, why did you think I was after you?" I ask looking at the little koala.
-
Al groaned quietly as he slowly but surely sat up, this may come as a surprise to the others that have arrived since they were resting on a very large, pink, salt deposit.
-
"I... stole something valua~AHH!"
Fout jumps back, and tries to duck behind a rock as Al sat up.
-
Geoff would normally laugh, but he didn't have the energy.
"Yep. That's Al..."
-
"Sure are jumpy." I said picking him up from the scruff and placing him away from al.
-
Al stretched in the manner a domestic cat would, then exhaled through his nose. After he had finished with his stretch he looked over to Geoff as if he were asking if he were hungry.
-
Fout nervously sat down. "S... sorry. I just... well..." Fout looked at his feet.
-
"So, you stole something valuable?" I asked sitting next to Fout.
-
After the fall Zaida was in the river Rapids, she would have swam up like last time but her wrists bled to much and her head gave a pounding headache, she was far to weak. She held her breath but couldn't hold it forever gasping for air in the water making her suck in the liquid sometimes with luck her head peaked from the water gasping air and coughing water. She continued down the stream before coming to a stop and resting in the dirt floor, unconscious.
-
Geoff knew Al was trying to tell him something but didn't understand at this time.
"... Eh...?"
-
Al dragged over what was left of the goat carcass, which was enough to feed all four of them at least twice.
-
"I did not realise at the time... nasty gang... stole a briefcase... I stole it from them. and then they threatened to kill me..."
Fout looks over at the Carcass. "Well... looks like we have what we are going to eat today..."
-
"Oh, food." I said.
-
"Oh..."
Geoff grimaced at the thought of eating.
-
Al shook out his fur, with many ropes and other weapons attached to said ropes; Obviously many more failed attempts to catch the pink saber.
-
One of the weapons pocketed in a net around Al slipped out; a knife.
It caught Geoff's eye. He missed his old pocket knife, but he knew there was almost no chance of finding it by now. Maybe this one would be a good enough replacement.
He crawled closer and pulled the knife over. It was also a pocket knife. It was coated in dried blood, but a good scrub in some water should be enough to wash it off.
He lifted himself up and stepped to the stream of water nearby.
-
I went to one area and layed down going to sleep.
(Night everyone.)
-
Geoff used the side of his shirt--he stopped caring at this point--to scrub the pocket knife clean. He didn't catch before that the knife had a familiar silver design on the handle. His eyes widened.
"What...?"
He continued scrubbing quickly before holding it up with both hands and gaping.
"No... No way... aaaaa..."
He closed it and flipped it out again repeatedly, placed it in his pocket, then walked back over to the group, holding back his smile.
He calmly went over to Al and flopped, glomping him.
-
Al looked down at Geoff, unsure as to why he was hugging him; but regardless he wrapped a leg around him for a moment, then let go.
Giving a half-hearted yawn it signaled that it was nap time for him.
-
Fout watched this with confusion, then shrugged. He had picked out 4 knives that he felt comfortable throwing.
Fout heard the yawn. "Err... Night... giant... saber... tiger... thingy..."
-
Geoff flopped onto his back as the saber moved off to nap.
He lifted himself slightly, resting on an arm, and looked at Fout.
" 'ey. "
He dug into his pocket and held up the closed knife--his knife--between his fingers and thumb, shaking it while grinning.
-
Fouts eyes went wide. "Is that... wait... the chances of that are..." Fout stammered
-
"I know, right!" Geoff laughed, falling onto his back again. He stared at the knife.
"Just... maybe the design isn't custom like I thought. Could be someone else's, as far as I know... BUT, it's mine now."
He sighed, lowering his arm, still spinning the knife in his palm.
"I'm saving it as a tool now."
-
I wake up.
"Whats going on?" i asked with a yawn as i sit up and stretch.
-
"Not much, geoff found his knife he thinks..."
-
"Oh, no way!" i exclaim looking at geoff.
"That is awesome."
-
Geoff had fallen asleep for a moment and woke up at Chains's exclamation, blinking as he saw him looking at him.
"Uh...? Awesome--oh."
He held up his arm briefly, displaying the knife.
"Al found my knife. Well, it looks exactly like it..."
-
"That is cool." i said
-
Fout glanced around "We should start to build shelters and things... If this is going to be our home now..."
-
"What kind of shelter?" i ask
"Didn"t we habe the temple as well?"
-
"I think the temple is Zaida's territory, and she hates us now, so we should stay away from there..."
Geoff shut his eyes again, groaning quietly.
-
"I still don't see what we did that made her so mad at us." i said getting up and going to chop down some trees.
-
Geoff still had his eyes closed.
"It was me," he said weakly. "We were fine until I got myself lost..."
-
"Don't blame yourself, she was fine and tried to help us find you at first." i said taking a sharp stone and strong cord like plant and a stick and creating an axe
-
"Its when she thought you were dead... we found the pit... She snapped at me and left."
-
"I still say good ridence" i say going and taking thebfirst swing at the tree. The blade braking and fly off.
-
"I see..."
Geoff sighed.
"Man, that fall, though. I was completely sure that was the end of us, but then we hit water... Knocked the air out of me... nearly drowned. But Al dragged me out in time... Lord... I really am a pain in the tail, eh?"
He chuckled a little, then coughed a few times.
He rolled onto his side. "Ugh..."
-
"I'm no better." i chickled.
-
"Well... I am a paranoid Coward... and I ended up blind that one time"
-
"I almost got killed by the canable l w ader that one time." i said
-
"Yeah... we've all gone into some crap... well, I guess we just... have to move on..."
He grunted as he shifted position. "I think I'm sick, too... great timing..."
-
Fout gulped. "That's serious..."
"Chains... gather some wood. lets start building..."
-
"Way ahead of ya." I said with logs in my arms.
-
"OK... Now to make planks."
-
"Here, use this." I said tossing him the chain. "Just be careful."
-
Fout gets to work, cutting planks with surprising amounts of skill.
-
I walk up to Fout,
"How fare are we?"
-
Fout looked at the pile of planks. "OK... We need room for 3 people... fout marked for corners for what was obviously going to be a house, and started digging with a wooden shovel, clearing the space they needed. "I think this will work well... But we still have a long way to go..."
-
"You know," I started, I think we are going to need a fire place.
-
"Yea" Fout nodded. "We will need stone for that..."
((Why do I get the sudden urge to play minecraft? o.O ))
-
(Minecraft rp XD )
"I'll see if I can find any stone." I said heading towards the forest.
-
Zaida rested near the river a puddle of blood around her. She had a spear in her and lastly her wrists cut from his claws. She crawled weakly to a try shaking weakly, and was light headed. She curled under the tree like a stray animal in the cold and shivered beginning to drift off as blood covered her fur she was far to weak and scared to take the spear out from her side she was no doctor but it seemed to be too deep for her just to yank it out.
-
I was walking around, walking down the river when I see a figure under a tree. Getting closer I noticed it was zaida.
"OH GOSH, ZAIDA!" I exclaim running and seeing her poor state.
-
Zaida closed her eyes tightly and snarled from the pain as she only heard ringing from Zardoff's roar and when chains called out it caused the ringing to increase making her yelp and weakly put her hands to her ear, tears streaming down her face from pain and fear.
-
I pick her up,
"Zaida, can you hear me, if you can, don't worry, you will be alright." I said as I started carrying her back to camp.
-
Zaida felt something touch her and completely went stiff slightly shaking unaware who it was and afraid to open her eyes.
-
I carefully carried zaida, making sure she didn't move. It took a while but I was making good time back to camp.
-
Fout had just finished the first wall of the house when he saw Chains approach. "O... Oh god... what happened?"
-
"I don't know." I said setting zaida down on a flat area of dirt.
"I was walking down the river when I found her like this."
-
Fout dashed over, and started to do what he could to help the sergal.
-
Zaida yelped loudly when she was set down, when four tried helping she continued to yelp and pushed away her eyes shut type as she whimpered with pain.
-
"Z... Zaida... its me... and chains... and Geoff.." Fout looked over his shoulder. but did not see the bear.
-
"We need to get the spear out of her and something to stop the bleeding state!" I say kneeling and examining the spear.
-
Zaida only heard muffle speaking and ringing, opening her eyes weakly and tiredly everything was blurry
-
Fout waved a paw in front of Zaida's face, then moved it so that, if Zaida followed, she would see the massive and unmistakeable pink form of Al, who is currently snoozing.
-
"Zaida, I don't know if you can hear me right now, but I want you to know what I am going to do will hurt." I said
"I am going to need to push the spear till the arrow is out the other side and then detach it." I said going and pushing it down till it was on the other side.
"Good thing it wasn't anywhere near any vitle organs." I thought.
-
((Why does the human body need sleep... :( ))
((*falls asleep* -.- ))
-
Zaida flinched from the movement and whimpered while shaking.
-
I take the end with the arrow on it and snap it off. I then pull out the stick. taking leaves I start to wrap it around the wounds and tried to cotorize the big ones and then wrap it.
"I think that should do for now." I said getting up and whipping my hands off.
-
((My sleeping schedule is awesome! *sarcasm* ))
Geoff watched this from afar, worriedly. He walked over.
"What happened to h--"
The realization hit. He sat on the ground, hiding his face.
-
"I think we should let her rest for a bit." I said to the others.
"Her wounds were sever and she has lost a lot of blood."
-
Zaida huffed and shook uncontrollably trying to talk but only spat blood. She curled up feeling a bit better but still scarred mentally and physically, she began to drift off feeling safer where she was
-
Geoff kept his face in his hands.
"Zardoff-f-f..."
He brought his knees up and rested his brow on his crossed arms.
-
I found leave and weaved a blanket, taking it, I lay it over /Zaida to keep her worm
-
Zaida hugged a bag seemingly to be a bag of their items either way she felt safer holding something in her arms before drifting to sleep calmly wrapped up.
(( Nini whoever is up, see ya tomorrow try not to go post crazy ))
-
Fout moved back to building the house.
-
Geoff walked over. "Need any help?"
-
Fout nodded. "Can you start putting up that wall... over there" He points to the wall opposite.
-
I go to change zaida's bandages, unwrapping the old ones, then putting on the new.
-
Geoff started setting up the wall.
-
Fout careful forms a doorway in his wall. then finishes, and starts constructing a roof, all 4 walls are at least half done at this stage.
-
I take the old bandages and through them away. getting up, I see how Fout and Geoff were doing.
-
Geoff took a step back to take a good look at their work.
"Nice."
-
"I'll say," I said standing back and staring at our work.
-
Fout Smiles. "We are going to need beds... where can we get something soft.... for us to sleep on..."
-
"We have plenty of leaves we could use." I say looking at all the leaves on the ground.
-
"Pelts," Geoff replied. "Those are soft..."
"Oh! The goat. We could use its skin and bones for stuff."
-
"That could be a better idea." I said.
-
Geoff gathered the remains of the goat. While skinning, he saw a small damaged area he didn't notice before. The goat had been wounded some time before Al caught it. He cut that part off and continued.
"I hope Zaida will be okay..."
-
Zaida continued to sleep weakly shaking as her long tail was wrapped around her and she hugged herself under the blanket her eyes were very dull showing she was weak and injured. A small movement would make her whimper or yelp in pain for now she rested peacefully and quietly.
-
I started helping geoff with the goat.
-
Fout moves over to he goat, "Zaida is strong... If anyone will survive... it will be her..."
-
"I don't doubt she will be alright; but, right now she need her rest." I say taking the goats fur and taking them inside.
-
Fout nodded. "I... I am going to go scout the area, make sure we are safe..."
Fout disappears to go exploring. moving around the mountain wall, and noting any gaps in it (such as the river) and the location of any caves...
-
I go over to Zaida and check her over. I start pulling the bandages off and start changing them.
"Well, I can't say it looks worse." I say looking at the wound that was all scabbed over.
-
Zardoff sat on the throne smiling. "If she doesn't come back with them on the full moon, she shall become the hunt as well, a challenge is what I want" he said as his tribe camped in the temple some sitting around his throne.
Zaida opened her eyes and huffed some blood.
-
Moving out of the way, I just barely miss the spay of blood.
-
Geoff begrudgingly went to lay down. He was still ill but was trying to ignore it.
-
Fout returned after a short while. "There are 3 definite entrances to this place..." Fout said. "The place we came in through, the river, and a small mountain pass, obviously barely used, on that mountain over there." Fout points to a mountain on the opposite side from the house. "There are also 2 caves. I... did not explore them... they might not lead anywhere..."
-
Zaida coughed small specks of blood and rested her head back down huffing shakily and tiredly while she blinked groggily.
-
Looking I see zaida awake.
"Hey zaida, can you hear me?" I asked seeing if she would respond.
-
Fout stumbles over. "She... she is waking up..."
Fout waves a hand in front of her face. "Zaida... you there"
-
Geoff woke up. Expecting to feel a little better, he felt even worse. He coughed repeatedly and groaned.
-
Fout moves over to Geoff. "y... you OK?"
-
I came back from hunting, rabbits and fish in my arms. placing it down, I get the fire started.
-
"I... I'll... be okay, I think..." Geoff mumbled.
-
(I don't want this to die. :'( )
-
((Me neither))
-
((I'll take assistant reins again. I've been thinking up stuff. I wanted to see what Zaida would come up with first, but it looks like she's busy with other things.))
-
((Yay! ^_^ ))
Post Merge: June 24, 2015, 11:35:12 PM
Fout nods nervously "you... you sure?"
-
((I am here, and please stay on topic. It won't die if you just post))
Zaida sat down with her knees up and her arms resting on them being dead silent while her ears twitched.
-
Fout glanced back at Zaida. "is... Is she Ok? I am scared to ask her my...myself"
-
I look up and to Zaida,
"She is okay, just let her rest, she should wake up when she is ready." I say to the tiny koala.
-
"err... she is awake..."
-
I look over and notice that indeed she was awake.
"Well, there you go, she woke up when she was ready.
I get up and walk over to Zaida,
"Hey, how are you feeling." I asked quitly to Zaida.
-
Fout stayed well back, not sure how Zaida was going to react.
-
Zaida turned her head to him with her ears tilting and her vision still blurry along with her throat still hurting so she avoided to speak and stared at the jungle.
Zardoff released two large black felines, although their tails were like devil tips but we're ombré blue and they had no eyes nor roared but stayed silent as they traveled through the jungle
-
((I am heading to sleep, night all))
Fout crouched down, still watching Zaida.
-
"Zaida, can you hear me?" I ask putting my hand on her shoulder to see if I could get a response from her.
-
Zaida flinched and looked at him she wanted to talk but she knew it would hurt and lightly shook her head up and down.
-
"ah, that is good, Hey, I'll bring you some water." I said to zaid.
"Oh, and zaida, you are safe here." I add
-
She nods as he went to get water. she than continued to relax
-
grabbed some leave and created a water holder, going to the nearest river, I dipped it and brought water into the leaf. I took it and returned back to zaida.
"Can you sit up?" I ask sitting down next to zaida.
-
Alistair groaned softly as he opened his eyes, exhaling shortly before he shook out his fur. Lifting his head from his paws he looked around, yawning with a loud groan; then pushed himself to his feet.
After some time he went to the river Chains had just recently visited, first dipping in one paw, then another until he was entirely in the water except for his head. He sat in the middle of the river, lapping up the water beneath his chin.
-
Geoff crawled over to the fish Chains caught and grabbed one to cook with his claws, making sure to not touch the others. He ate it, then staggered over to the river to drink.
-
Fout followed Geoff, worried he was too ill to go unaccompanied.
-
Alistair chuffed at Geoff, still sitting in the middle of the river with only his head above water.
-
Geoff knelt down to drink at the river's edge, then sat down with his head in his hands.
"This is... not good..."
-
"Zaida?" i ask trying to get her attention.
-
Zaida looked over her ears twitching. She shook her head 'yes'
-
"Here," i said carfuly handing the leaf of water to zaida.
"Maybe moistening your throight will help."
-
Zaida grabbed the water quickly and sniffed it making sure there was nothing wrong with it before drinking some.
The large feline beasts, twins ran through the jungle smelling flesh.
-
I look around
"Where did fout and goeff go?" i ask
-
She looked at the water and him then shrugged.
-
"Felling betrer?" i ask going to change her bandages.
-
She shook her head lightly and took another sip her ears twitching.
The felines murred peaking from the jungle sensing the saver, there strong smell and hearing
-
I sniff the air.
"Something is wrong." i say taking another sniff.
"Who's there!" i cry out looking around.
-
Alistair strode out of the fast moving water as if he were walking on land, he was indeed a powerful cat; He knew the other two felines were close, he just didn't seem to mind.
Turning around once he reached shore he sniffed the air to give a more visible sign that he knew they were there. The large saber wiped his back feet on the ground to mark it as his territory.
-
One feline stood in place, it's smell its presence disappearing but she stood there.
The other large feline beast exits the jungle not caring about territory for the creatures were born to kill and thrive. Her blue claws retracted and she began to walk around slightly taller than Al but was skinnier.
Zaida listened hearing this but knew she was too weak and stayed silent
-
Al was showing more powerful displays of aggression at the other felines, emitting a roar as he did not know whether or not these felines were friendly. But he was going to trust his gut more than anything else.
-
I sniff, able to smell two felines, my ears twitch.
"I don't know if I can take these two on, but I have to try." I say looking around for the two felines.
-
((One feline is out, can't smell not find her at the moment))
The feline seemed to walk a zig sag form licking the water but moved constantly her face locked on the saber and gurgled while her tail swayed fast.
(Also this is what it looks like, drone wolves of the mist part 2 (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/25/3babf0f9168916bc4ece1a82ddfc4c80.jpg) (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/25/712fcc17dbbffdb74ea4388f58ea3c48.jpg) )
-
The fur on the back of Al's neck stood straight up as he found the other feline taking an offensive position, baring his teeth entirely as he roared again; even going as far as to stand on his hind legs for a few seconds at a time to intimidate the intruding saber.
-
She arched her back and the jet black fur began to stand, she could not roar nor did they snarled but snapped the air making soft gurgles as she was just across the river her tail swaying faster aggressively
-
Al's half length tail wavered back and forth in caution, growling loudly; trying to make sure the other saber stayed on their side of the river since Al had marked the shore of the other side.
-
The feline took a drink when she did some black escaped her mouth, saliva before she pounced aiming for his neck
-
Al turned right on time, then counter-struck the opposing saber; immediately digging his claws into their shoulders as he clamped down on their nose with his mouth. Doing a rather common cat tactic called the kiss of death.
-
I straiten up,
"I guess there is no one here." I say sitting down by zaida again and returned to replacing the bandages.
-
The feline dug her back claws into his waist and immediately bit his tongue putting more pressure to set herself free.
The twin ran out ramming to Al and biting into his neck.
Zaida stood her ears twitching. She looked afar worriedly and pointed before marching grabbing her jagged machete and trying to led chains.
-
Fout watched the fight from afar, he had decided to risk hiding in a bush, peering out at the creatures.
-
Al still held fast to the other saber's muzzle with his own, letting out a loud groan of pain when the other feline bit down into the scruff of his neck. He wasn't going down, not like this.
Thinking quickly Al pulled the saber back, slamming the one on his back into a tree quite hard, knowing this could kill them immediately if it severed the spine.
-
"Hey! you can't be moving now, you're still healing." I call running after zaida.
-
Zaida limped faster almost running pointing to the jungle trying to tell him something.
The feline fell dead before it spine cracked and it stood up standing on her hind feet just barely having her front paws off the floor before grabbing his right arm and pulling him down and jumping on top pinning him.
The other bit his tongue harder it's tail used like a scorpion tail jabbed his shoulder giving sharp pains
-
Al was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but his golden saliva ran red; meaning it turned to venom. He spit venom in both their eyes in the second he let go of the one's muzzle. This would cause immediate death.
-
seeing Al in danger, Fout finally acted, he charges at the one stabbing AL with its tail, jumps on its back, and shoves a knife into it.
-
((They don't have eyes))
The one on its back seemed to jump of like a backflip shaking it's fur like it just got wet it's blue blood running down and hissed snapping but couldn't reach.
Shook the venom dripping down its face and she gurgled hitting her head to back him up.
-
Al lunged forward and sunk his teeth deep into the opposing saber's neck, he was done messing around. Now he meant business.
-
Fout continued stabbing the one he was on, aiming to stab it in the neck.
-
I followed Zaida, she seemed to be trying to lead me to somewhere.
-
while stabbing, Fout realized the simple reality, his effect on the battle was minimal. he rolled off the things back, shoved the knife in its stomach left it there, and fled back to the house, praying he was not followed.
((I need to sleep, night all))
-
Geoff had already fled and lay inside the house, knowing he couldn't fight while so ill, curled up and scared for his friends' lives. His fear only partially eased at the sight of Fout returning home.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
((really, I was just busy with another thing. X_x ))
-
Al quickly dispatched the other saber, leaving their bodies on the shore as he huffed and puffed; moving back toward the house looking a bit roughed up.
-
They cracked and murred as they came back up and gurgled teasingly showing they weren't weak and both jumped tackling him.
Zaida arrived near the river pointing quickly.
-
Al was un-phased by this, he simply stood on his hind legs, and let himself fall onto his back. Smashing the two under his massive weight. He was growing tired of these two, he was an alpha and had no time for something in his territory anymore.
-
The female twins bit his neck and tore fur out digging their fangs deeper as they thrashed around.
-
Al stopped fighting for a moment, pulling them from him and attempting to communicate instead of fight for once. :?
-
One hissed hitting her sister that seemed more calmer, the one that hid at first but now could be told apart since the aggressive one had bite marks on her face and was larger than her twin, the other was smaller and a bite nicer having a stab mark on her back.
The aggressive sister sat hissing and wiping her scarred face.
The calmer one day tilting her head at the saber.
-
Al chuffed, not realizing these were twin sisters at first; he assumed them to be male usurpers. He looked back and forth between the two, chuffing to communicate information about himself and such.
-
The larger sister kula and the smaller Lola listened
Kyla hissed as she formed eyes that gave away her gender quite easily and the other did also liking her back and whimpering quietly.
Kula spoke back in gurgles 'your trespassing peasant, Zardoff wanted you dead and a new pelt as the others would have to be alive and bring back'
Lola purred her response more gently and kind another way they were different along with her more green bluish eyes. 'Yes we had to, it was orders from leader...'
-
Al tried to reason with them, they were all saber cats; why not band together? He was kind in his reasoning and did not expect much.
-
Kyla snarled 'Band?! Ha fool we listen to Zardoff...' She gurgled.
Lola had her ears down knowing if arguing with Kyla would just get her punished.
-
Al looked to Lola with dilated pupils, explaining which options outweigh one another.
-
Lola looked away and continued to lick her wounds.
Kyla hissed her fur on her back.
-
Al opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, showing them his golden saliva, "Here."
-
(what happened?)
-
Kyla growled. "Don't touch me!" She backed away thinking.
Lola licked her wounds sometimes yelping showing she was more feminine and more fragile than her sister.
-
Al decided to help Lola first, licking over her wounds with his golden saliva; which healed them almost instantly.
-
I walk through the forest just arriving where zaida was.
-
Lola looked at her wounds with her bright eyes and her tail went back and forth lightly satisfied with the healing saliva and purred a thank you with kindness, Kyla already gone Lola's ears went back and looked at Zaida wanted to greet her but the smell would trigger Zardoff and she trotted away with her sister
-
Alistair looked conflicted and sad, looking from Zaida then to the retreating saber cats. His friends meant a lot to him, but this was a member of his species he just came into contact with.
-
Kyla hissed. 'Fool your glad your my sister or I would have killed you now think of a lie your well with them"
"Yes sister" she said in her soft voice.
Zaida sighed relieved.
-
Alistair looked back to Zaida, letting out a sad groan as he wanted to go after them.
-
Geoff coughed and scratched his arms and neck often as he tried to sleep.
-
Zaida looked at him, unable to speak she just stared her ears laid back feeling bad for the saber but wanted to let him do what his heart desired. (Might not be so happy some things went down and I'm a bit furious, just tell me if I'm being an ass...)
-
Alistair called out to Lola loudly, he refused to leave his friends; he knew he wanted companionship, but he had to remain loyal. Zardoff was the one that wanted his pelt of course, and risking that was not entirely worth it to him.
-
Lola looked back and sniffed the air and whimpered to her sister, her original white fur showing with the blue fangs, claws and tail tip.
Her all black sister with red area's snarled. "Don't be weak! Change your color your suppose to look"
Lola whimpered. "Yes sister she said with her tail between her legs and her head low thinking before bolting off.
Kyla roared angrily.
-
Al looked back between Zaida and the path the two set off on, he looked as if he were grinding his teeth before he plunged into the fast moving river; trudging across and bounding into the forest.
-
Lola pranced over the jungles obstacle. Kyla chasing after with fury
-
I head back to camp seeing that anything that had occurred had settled itself.
-
Geoff coughed and clawed at his arm.
"Ughhh... What even is this..."
-
(Where is Geoff?)
-
((In the house))
-
(( Fouts there to))
-
I head into the house and see Fout and Geoff. I stop and realize something.
"Has anyone seen Zaida?" I ask
-
"She headed down to the cat last I saw... near the river..."
-
"Dang it, now I have to go hunt her down." I say heading for the door.
-
Zaida was laying down resting, half of her body in the river as she rested. ((Hey won't be on much, I have a paintball game for five hours I'll be off and on since there's breaks))
-
I head to the river, looking and seeing zaida lying on the ground.
"Zaida?" I ask getting her attention.
-
Zaida was listening to the river before turning to him with her ears up.
-
"Zaida, it's not safe out here alone, especially with how you are." I say
"We should head back to the home."
-
She shook her head in response as a no, she then laid back down.
-
"Zaida," I sigh.
"Fine, but I'm staying, I want to make sure you are safe." I say before sitting down next to a tree.
-
She shrugs and closing her eyes and was drifting to sleep.
-
Everything was calm, I closed my eyes and listened to the wind blow through the wind and the small birds chirping in the distance.
-
(BACK!! I was such a **censor** pro till the last match!! Can't wait till next time to use my new gear!!! Anyways let's continue)
A splash was heard Zaida seemingly to disappear, she swam in the water going deeper as she held her breath her tail swaying making her swim faster
-
I look around, not seeing zaida around.
"Zaida?" I ask
-
Alistair bound over the obstacles with ease, just now seeing Lola and her sister. He called out to Lola, knowing that she would understand more so than her sister would.
-
Zaida continued deeper and deeper not knowing what she was doing.
Lola stopped looking at the saber. Kyla jumped over her white furred sister tackling him her face without eyes as she hissed.
-
Alistair quickly sunk his teeth into Kyla's throat, shaking her back and forth as if she were a toy.
-
I started to grow scared, Ziada hadn't resurfaced for a while. I go and dive into the river, hopping she was alright.
-
Kyla struggled trying to break away yelping for her sister. Lola had her tail between her legs and kept her ears low and whimpered.
Zaida was staring at these crystals seemingly trying to break them, oddly had already been in the water for minutes.
-
Fout moves over to Geoff. "Chains and Zaida have been gone for some time... maybe we should go looking for them..."
((Had to remind myself not to brown the text. >.> ))
-
Alistair tossed Kyla away, showing that he wasn't backing down. After a snort he went over to Lola and greeted her with a chuff.
-
I see Zaida and swim and grab her trying to drag her back.
-
Geoff awoke coughing and after a few minutes stood up. He was still just as sick as before, but he tried to hide it. He kept scratching at his arm.
-
Fout limps over. "Your... your arm... are you OK?"
-
"Y-yeah..."
He scratched at his neck and other arm as well.
"... God dammi--*COUGHCOUGH*--Ugh... this is annoying..."
-
Fout examines Geoff's arm.
-
Countless blisters dotted his skin, hidden under his fur.
Geoff felt uncomfortable with Fout messing with his arm, but understood why he was.
"Y-you might... want to stay away from me," Geoff told him. "I don't want to get you sick..."
-
Fout's eyes go wide... "We... we need to get you to a doctor... or to a shaman... or something... this... this is serious."
-
Geoff backed away from Fout.
"I... I know... But, I don't think there's much we can do..."
He dropped back to the floor miserably.
"You should... wash your hands or somethi--" he coughed.
"Don't get sick too..."
-
"Ss...seriously.... I don't know if your going to survive... I mean..." Fout said, starting to panic.
-
I walk back to the house, enteting i see geoff and fout.
"Hey, what's going on?" i ask.
-
"g... geoff... he is..." Fout looks at his feet. "Just look at his arm..."
-
I walk and grab geoffs arm. I start examining them.
"How did this happen?" i ask.
-
Zaida shakes the water off as she gasped for air and sat a large crystal down and looked at it with a questionable face.
-
Geoff tried to slide away from Chains. "I-I don't know..."
-
"We're going to need zaida." i say letting go and standing up.
-
Fout nods. "Y..Yea..."
-
Geoff huffed. "She's gonna... be upset again... with me..."
-
"Why is that?" i ask geoff.
-
Zaida dragged the crystal with her tail as she dragged by all fours due to the heavy item.
-
"I keep getting into trouble..." Geoff mumbled and coughed.
-
"But if you don't tell her... you might... might die..."
-
Geoff lowered his head, staring at the ground silently for moment before laying down.
-
"I like to think that if you keep getting in trouble then that means she cares." I say trying to cheer geoff up a little.
-
Zaida turned her head fully around looking and seeing if nothing followed back to their shelter and if she still had the crystal, turning her head back she continued to crawl getting closer to the shelter but stayed quite and sniffed, something smelling off...
-
"I hope zaida gets back soon." I say feeling like something was off.
-
Fout crouches down by the door, peering out.
-
I look out the window. "It might rain soon." I say seeing the clouds role in.
-
Zaida was sniffing and her neck fur stood and she sniffed to the shelter worriedly getting a bit panicky and grabbed the crystal with strength stomping to where she thought it was
-
Geoff lay there with his eyes closed, feeling terrible.
"I like rain," he mumbled.
-
Fout sighs. "I don't care about rain right now..."
-
Zaida popped her head in sniffing the air curiously and stared at geoff
-
Geoff was unaware of this, for his eyes were closed.
"Rain... is nice..."
-
Fout grabs Zaida's arm. "Ge...Geoff he is ill... I think he is..." Fout looks up at Zaida with paniced eyes.
-
I walk up to zaida, grabbing her by the arm I help her to get back up.
-
Zaida's fur was still standing while looking at the bear and her tail swaying fast with aggressiveness. "Lokua..."
-
"lokua?" Fout asks... "Is... that the thing he caught?".
-
Zaida was backed against the wall her head tilting as she continued to sniff where the bear was and she shook her head as response to yes
-
Geoff, eyes still closed, made a face as if he was confused for a moment at Zaida's word.
-
I look to zaida,
"You can speak again?" I ask.
-
"Little" she said touching her throat gently. "Very..." She kept it shut and swallowed her saliva. "Little"
-
Fout looks at his feet. "can... can you help Geoff?"
-
Geoff coughed and mumbled something unintelligible.
-
I walk up to geoff.
"Geoff, don't worry, we're going to get you better. Anything you need to make you more confortable?" I ask
-
Zaida looked at him with a worried face. "I don't... Know..." She said lightly.
-
I look up worry in my eyes. "Do you know anyone that could?" I ask lighting outside lighting things up.
-
Geoff had to think for a long moment.
"... Mh... kin'a... thirs'y..."
-
"Most of the Tribes are hostile... but... wait..." Fout pauses thinking...
-
I look to fout, "Do we have any water?" I ask
-
Fout reaches into his coat. "I... have a bottle..." Fout pulls out a bottle
-
Zaida sat looking at the crystal she found thinking deeply as she took a big yawn.
-
"The tribes... must have cures right?"
-
The sudden clap of thunder outside made Geoff jolt.
"Oh no..."
-
"What is it," I ask hearing Geoff's displeasure.
-
Geoff huffed and relaxed again.
"Tha's... not nice rain..."
-
I look out, "Oh, no it's not." I said watching as it poured outside.
"Though it is nice to watch."
-
Zaida shook her head and grabbed fout walking away so Geoff couldn't here. "It's bad... They never" she coughs in the middles from her still healing neck "cure it... Kills in week or so..." She said looking over at the bear
-
I could hear zaida and quietly walk over.
"What do you mean they never cure it?" I whisper a slit growl in my voice.
-
Fout's eyes go wide. "Then.. you mean... Geoff.." Fout looks down at his friend. "He... no cure... He... He..." Fout continues to stutter, trying not to cry.
-
"If there is no cure, Then the best thing to do is let him know." I say no emotion shown on my face. I was trained to never show emotion during this kind of time.
-
Zaida shrugged. "No there is cure, but it's a tree..." She swallows and sighs before speaking. "The leaves... But large animal...Guards..."
-
Fout grins. "Then I will get the cure... Guards don't scare me...."
-
"I say we go, this is geoff we are talking about.' I say looking at fout.
"He survived this long, don't see why we should quite just because he got a little sick."
-
Zaida rubs her face afraid what they didn't expect what beast guarded. "But I never seen it... I know that those go... Die..." She says. "But if... We want to help then let's go."
-
"I'll get geoff." I say getting up from sitting.
-
putting on armor and grabbing her jagged machete and walked out of the shelter she practiced a bit outside throwing the spear up and charging jabbing in front and pretended to dodge just to be sure she was capable to go which she was luckily
-
FOut sighs. "Where... where is the tree... can you take us to it?"
-
I bend down and help geoff up and walk.
-
Geoff grunted as he was stood up, and he tried to walk with Chains. His legs were a bit weak.
"Why...?"
-
"We are going to get you better." I say waking over to the others.
-
"Better..." Geoff mumbled. "... okay..."
-
"Yes... Come" she said walking to the more jungly area Zaida trying to think what animal it was
-
Fout follows, obviously agitated.
-
I tried to keep up but making sure to help Geoff walk as well.
-
Zaida slowed down looking at chains and geoff, she went back and helped them out
-
Fout keeps on going, he did not want to delay any more than necessary.
-
I looked at zaida and thanked her as we started to catch up with geoff.
-
Zaida continued, a hour past and the sun began to set... Finally arriving to the tree but nothing was guarding....
The tree however was beautiful it was swirled standing to 20 feet but if it was unswirled it would probably be twice the size and the tree was larger at the bottom and grew smaller at the top and the bark was a white with a tint of green and on each part it had branches with bright shining leaves. Smaller when they were near the floor and gradually grew larger at the top.
-
I look up at the tree, It was just beautiful.
"Wow," I whisper trying to take it all in. "It's beautiful."
-
Zaida looked around a moment and huffed. "Nothing is guarding..."
-
I flinched a little. "from my experience, that's bad." I say getting my to the tree.
-
Fout seemed to have vanished, but was actually just being extra careful, and approaching the tree from the right, weaving his way through the bushes, staying low and out of sight.
-
Zaida had got low and began to walk to the tree her machete draw and ready for battle.
Nothing was around... It was odd but the tree stood tall as sun gleamed on it.
-
Fot risked jumping towards the tree... coming out of cover to reach its roots... he then began to climb.
-
"Do you think they abandoned the tree?" I ask zaida
-
The tree began to lean making him fall of and began to unswirl.
Zaida walked back watching this happen before her eyes. "No..."
As the fell flat on the floor unswirled and the branches and leaves sunk inside of it before what was suppose to be roots popped out a head of a lizard like creature or more like armless dragon, it slithered up and looked down its tail swaying.
Appearance:(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/03/3a36f8aa17af0abffd1315eac6633d6e.jpg)
-
I look to zaida,
"Um *gulp* I... uh... I don't think that is a tree." I say trying to back up a bit.
-
"Good... good morning..." Fout stammered to the creature. He felt he was too close to effectively run away...
-
The creature curled like a snarled but curled like a snake resting it's head on himself studying the voices before gurgling and looking down and yawned showing its long pink tongue and sharp pink teeth. He stared at them calmly looking harmless
Zaida stayed still before watching the creature.
-
The harmless look made me relax a little but not completely let my guard down. I wanted to be ready just in case the harmless look was a trap.
"Um... hello." I say to it wanting to be a little friendly.
-
Fout inches forward... "We... we were told you..." Fout gulps. "We were told you could help our friend... he is ill..."
-
The reptile creature tilted its head looking at the small or to him the small creatures and lowered his head to chains sniffing him lightly but to chains it blew his fur back and forth from his strong nose, it then went to fout doing the same before sniffing the air and seeing Geoff and his whole body slithered to the fur wrapping around him securely his head resting on the floor just besides geoff's
Zaida dropped the machete and was inching to the beast. "Can... You help..." She asked rather calmly.
-
With my fur now even more messy I stood there. I was in awe at in a way how majestic this creature seemed to be. my fears almost gone.
-
Geoff stayed still like a statue as the serpent wrapped around him, too dazed to know if he was about to be killed or helped. Before this point, he already accepted his fate.
-
Fout watches, fearful, praying that the thing was helping Geoff, not hurting him...
-
The reptile smelled the fear and sniffed him letting a small soft grunt and licked Geoff staining his fur with pink saliva before his tail began to grow back its large leaves as it felt comfortable around them.
Zaida thought it was like sensitivity plant, the leaves would disappear if it felt threaten or scared or what she thought of at least.
-
I walked up to the reptail wanting to look at it. looking at the leaves that grew and touching them slightly.
-
Fout stayed back, and let it do its thing.
-
Geoff was surprised by the lick and smiled.
"D...dr-dragon friend..."
-
The tip of the tail went over its head showing Geoff its light green leaves and the pink veins glowing and grunted to the furry nudging softly and took a leave and ate it showing him what to do.
Zaida was already close to the reptile looking like she was hugging as her eyes were wide with amazement.
-
Geoff carefully reached a weak arm to pluck a leaf, staring at it for a moment before sticking it in his mouth.
-
The leaves disappeared back to its body and it rested its head watching while chewing the juicy leaf that tasted so sweet, when chewed it would break the pink veins in the leaf releasing the juicy sweet flavor, filling the mouth
Zaida watched just in case still a bit uneasy but kept calm.
-
Geoff smiled as he chewed the leaf.
-
"So, what do the leaves do?" I ask zaida.
-
"Cure sickness, wounds... But they all said it was dangerous..." She thought knowing most of the tribesmen were savages and only attacked anything in sight. "They are.. stupid..." She huffed sitting down watching Geoff.
The reptile just huffed from its nose watching them with his three pink eyes.
-
"Would hate to meet these tribemen." I say sitting down next to a tree.
-
Geoff finished eating the leaf and felt a bit sleepy, closing his eyes.
-
The reptile nudged the furry to a more comfortable position and resting its head down its eyes closing and it gave a big yawn.
"We... Can...sleep here for... Night" she says.
-
Fout moves over to Geoff... "he... will be OK now... right?"
-
The reptile licks Geoff lightly and looks at fout making a small groan and nudged him tiredly.
Zaida looks at the two. "I think he is good..."
-
"well that is good." I say putting my hat over my eyes and crossing my arms.
-
Fout smiles. "Thankyou..." He reaches out, and rubs the creatures nose, trying to be friendly.
-
The reptile enjoyed its think scaly and somewhat bark skin rubbed and huffed licking fout with its light pink younger and rested its head down
Zaida leaned against the dragon creature and began to drift to sleep.
-
Fout leaned against the dragon creature feeling safe, he sat down with it, and also began to sleep.
-
*time skip*
Zaida woke up in the morning somewhat hugging the sleeping dragon
-
*Xiu was sitting inside of a abandoned temple*
-
Zaida looked at the others, yawning she got up and stretched.
-
I looked up and notice zaida stretching.
"You going somewhere?" I ask curious.
-
*Xiu rests his head on a rock while cleaning his sword*
-
She shakes her head at chains. "Just in case... Prepare always" she said and jumped onto the sleeping serpents back.
-
"Oh, I see." I said.
-
Fout also woke up, he had slept well for the first time in a long while.
-
The dragon creature seemed purr peacefully. Zaida somewhat hugging it
-
I laid there, my ears twitching once in a while as the birds chirped.
-
Geoff stayed asleep.
-
Fout moves over and prods Geoff. "Y...You Better?"
-
Geoff woke up somewhat. He opened his eyes slightly for a moment.
"...urr... think so..." he mumbled.
-
Fout hugs Geoff. "Th...thank you... I... I thought..."
-
Geoff was surprised by the hug. He smiled and did the same.
-
Fout moves back slighly embarrassed, and turns to Zaida. "W...where now?"
-
I get up to stretch and look up.
"Morning." I say getting up and popping my back.
-
"m... morning..."
-
I look over to geoff.
"Ah, looks like you are better." I say still grawgy.
-
"Yeah," Geoff replied. "I feel kinda funny, though..."
-
"your alive." Fout states defiantly. "That's what matters"
-
"Yeah," I look to zaida, "You're technically the leader, where to now?" I ask
-
"I-I didn't mean... bad funny, just... funny..."
-
Zaida was still sleeping, just hanging over its back limp while murring as she did.
-
Fout pokes Zaida. "erm... Zaida... We ...should we.... get moving?"
-
Geoff stood up and wobbled a little. He walked over to the dragon and pet it gently with a smile.
"Thank you, dragon friend," he spoke softly.
-
Zaida flinched and woke up sliding off the creature and nods. "Yes where do you wish... Old shelter or travel to new" she said surprisingly her throat had healed.
The creature woke up and yawned looking at them ready to leave it softly slithered by rubbing against all of them before balancing on its tail and diving into the dirt before its tail swirled around and made itself look like a tree before the branches and leaves sprouted
-
Geoff smiled as he watched the dragon return to its tree-like form.
-
"Shelter" Fout states "... no-where new we need to go yet..."
-
"I agree with fout." I say picking up my hat that had fallen off.
-
"Mhm" she nods and looks at the tree before looking west. "That way" she said jumping of a rock.
-
I walk after zaida, my trench coat flapping in the breeze.
-
Fout turns to Geoff. "You Ok with moving now?"
-
Geoff nodded and followed the group.
-
Fout could not shake the feeling it was too easy... where were the gaurds... where were the monsters... as in... the evil ones...
-
"So, where were the danger?" I ask zaida.
-
Zaida grew cautious smelling something near as they got closer to their shelter
-
"What's going on?" I ask seeing her sniff the air. I do the same thing.
-
Fout senses the caution, and disappears into a bush (he had checked the bushes near the shelter for evil plants already)
Fout moves closer to the shelter, staying out of sight.
-
((Also there was no guards everything and everyone assumed that since no one came back but the dragon guarded itself))
Zaida smelled Furries then saw the shelter was being dug into the Furries tossing items around and taking useful items. Zardoff standing tall and watched over
-
I see them, "HEY, WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING!" I call running up to them.
-
Fout winces at chains stupidity, but sees no way to stop it anymore...
-
Geoff stayed back with Fout, shivering.
Nonono, I'm still weak... and my spear! I left it in there!
He had the same reaction as Fout when Chains ran toward Zardoff.
-
Zaida stood back knowing she would be beaten down probably killed from her father.
Zardof turned to the fox smiling with his razor teeth showing as a threat, his tail grabbed chains tail slamming him to the floor and tree. "Look what we have! A little foxy" he chuckled.
-
Fout crouches down, horrified, desperate to do something... but what could he do?
-
I groan only to look up and growl.
-
The sergal used his foot gripping chains neck and gliding him on the floor. "Growling will do nothing foxy" he laughed his claws scratching lightly making scars on his neck.
Zaida wanted to help but grew with fear her tail laying down along with her ears.
-
It was painful, but I try to grab the arrow part of the chain and swipe at the elder sergal.
-
Fout gulps, and steps out of the bush... throwing a small rock at Zardoff's head. "G...G...Get off... Off him..."
-
Geoff knew he had little strength to fight right now, and the only weapon he had on him was his pocket knife.
He gaped as the rock flew toward Zardoff's head.
-
Zardoff let the arrow tip hit him only concentrate on the fox and nothing else before the rock hit him he tossed chains snarling "make me look like a fool?" He growled.
-
I land on the ground, pain shooting through my body. I get up but with some pain, I start to unravel my chain. A cold killer hunter look in my face.
-
"Y....Yes... Oh crap..." Fout turns, and starts to run.
-
Geoff stayed hidden in the bush, trying to keep as silent as possible. What could he do? Anything?
-
Fout tries to avoid running into Zaida or Geoff, he does not want to reveal their hiding locations
-
Zardoff stopped and yelled. "Kaya!" He huffed kicking chains and began to walk to his tribe as the Warriors began to chase fout, some tying chains up.
Zaida stayed hidden a bit nervous but didn't want to be a coward she struggled with choices.
-
Fout yelps, there are too many of them... he could not escape safely... and chains... no...
Fout whimpers, he had been an idiot and achieved nothing... He tries his best to run, but the warriors seemed to know this area better than him... he did not stand a chance...
-
I groaned in pain, realizing I was being tied up I started to struggle. I tried to bite at them as they got close.
-
A hound skid in front of angder snarling and his neck fur standing all the way down to his back.
The Furries hung chains up on a tree knowing some type of predator would smell his blood and take him as a meal.
-
Fout backed away. "Nnnn... no... nonono..." Fout realizes the people just behind him had just about caught up... he remembers the tattoo...
Please mean I'm a slave... I don't want to die...
-
I knew this was it, I went lip no emotion, I was tired and spent from struggling. there was no escape.
-
Fout who had also given up turns to face the oncoming tribesmen... "I... I surrender... Just... Just..." Fout shut his eyes... the band he hid his tattoo with had fallen off sometime in the last 24 hours... he had no idea when. He was completely at Zardoff's mercy...
-
"I'm sorry." I say looking at angder but addressing to everyone else as I hung from the tree.
-
Fout did not react, he just stood there, his eyes shut, scared out of his mind.
-
"somebody help," I mumble trying not to cry.
"Why didn't I just wait."
-
Alistair lied low in the bushes, staring down Zardoff. That was the one that wanted his pelt.
-
Zaida was following her father.
Zardoff walked through the jungle having quite a few guards around but of course didn't need them if he wanted, having fout being dragged along and tied from the hound.
-
Fout stayed quiet, and did not struggle, he could not escape even if he was not tied up.
-
Alistair let out a low, rumbling, growl as he moved through the bushes to follow. He was rather furious with Zardoff and he wanted to confront him, but he had to wait until the timing was right.
-
I said nothing and felt nothing. I felt like a failure.
-
Geoff emerged from the bushes and weakly ran to Chains.
He pulled out his pocket knife and began slicing through the rope Chains hung from.
"P-prepare for... l-landing..."
-
I look to geoff and nod, I was scared that he would be caught.
-
The blade sliced through the rope.
-
Falling, I land on the ground with a thump.
-
Geoff jumped over and cut the rest of the ropes tied to him.
-
"Thanks," I say, I then look over where my chain was.
-
Zardoff jumped five feet onto a rock as it was the beginning of climbing the mountain to his temple. "Cha" he said as the others climbed up quickly taking the wolf with them.
-
This proved difficult as Alistair had to stay out of earshot from Zardoff, he couldn't risk anything; especially with him surrounded by guards.
-
((Just a quick note, Fout is a Koala))
"Wh... what is going to happen to me..." Fout asked, hoping for a response from one of the guards carrying him...
-
"We need to get fout back." I say to geoff getting back up.
-
Fout glanced around "please... I... can't do anything... I just need to know..."
-
Geoff nodded and ran toward where they dragged Fout, hoping Chains was following. He was still weak from just recovering from the illness and hoped being mostly stealthy would be enough to rescue him, but knowing that won't be likely, Chains was thankfully there for backup.
We need to at least try...
Please, don't kill him. Please, please, please, don't kill him...
-
Zardoff smiled "you'll see"
Some guards around him had similar markings, some having the exact same one.
Zaida was following quickly snarling and her ears leaned back.
-
Fout shut his eyes again. Same markings... I am not going to die I don't think... but... what will happen instead...
-
I start running up the mountain trying to catch up with Zardoff. getting close I jump and start quietly hopping between branches.
-
Geoff stayed behind, trying to keep up.
-
Fout opens one eye, and peers up the mountain... can't be far from the top now...
-
((boop? Is this still alive? :/ ))
-
((Yes... It is but I'm trying to not roleplay so much on Rp's since people never slow down ~_~))
The guards throw angder down and close up keeping in there like a cell.
Zaida was already hidden up in the temple.
-
((Then don't open as many. ;) (Or finish ones you want to come out of.) ))
((Speaking of which, I feel like this RP should be ending soonish, when The big bad is killed We should find some way to wrap this thread up IMO.))
Fout glances around, now he was at the top, he would start looking to escape...
He did it before... how hard can it be...
-
((I was planning to.))
Guards stood around tapping the Spears they held.
Zaida was thinking of a way to stop this, but grew worried and scared trying to hide it.
Zardoff sitting down though tapping his foot as he hummed. His eyes glanced around knowing someone was here but didn't want to let them know that.
-
Fout pants slightly, and huddles in a ball. in truth he was looking to see if there was a gap he could escape through... some flaw in where he was being kept...
-
I stand from the tree up above one gaurd. with my chains I loop it and lower it down trying to get it around his neck.
-
((Anyone mind if I just finish up my character arc?))
