Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 20, 2015, 10:21:20 PM
Your head is pounding. You hear ringing in your ears.


You can't see. Well, that's probably because your eyes are shut, but still.


You feel drenched, and the pounding of rain hitting your body.


And there is wet, wet mud beneath you, which isn't too pleasant either.


You open your eyes, to look around you. It's a cold night, the moon high above. You can hear the crash of thunder and see lighting streaking through the clouded sky. Your limbs are stiff, but you push yourself off the ground, and look around the forest. It's scary. You don't know where you are, why you're here. You don't know anything but your name. You get a feeling of overwhelming loneliness. This is going to be a long night.

Current Weather - Stormy
Current Time - Night

(Every character will start off at the top of the map, in the area between the two streams)




Loote pushed himself up off the ground. His limbs ached like they never had before, and his head was ringing loudly. Around him, the world spun, but slowly came into focus. Around him, was thick forestry. After holding steady for a moment, his head stopped ringing so badly, and he began to process thoughts.
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Who am I?
Well, he managed to put an answer to the last one. He was Loote, obviously. The others though, he wasn't too sure on. Brushing the thoughts away, he decided to see if anyone was around.
"Hello?" He called out, into the tree's that surrounded him.

((Sounds awesome! c:))

Loote listened to the slight echo of his voice, continuing to move in circles, looking into the tree's around him. He heard a noise, like a rustling in a bush, and stood sill for a moment. "H-hello?" He repeated, growing slightly more anxious.

Hydragon was afraid and covered in sand "I should roar to call anyone else, if there is anyone else" he took a deep breath and roared with an echo.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 02:57:30 PM
Loote flinched as he heard a powerful roar coming from his right. He looked in that direction, paralyzed with fear for a moment. However, once he realized that there was no great beast charging at him, he decided to investigate. He ran off into the tree's, in the direction of the noise he had heard, and soon enough came to a beach. And... there was someone there!
"Are you okay? Do you need help?!" He asked with urgency, running towards the being, careful not to slip on the loose sand.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 03:09:41 PM
Faolin scrambled to her feet when she heard pawsteps and a voice call to her. She shook the sand out of her fur, and checked for any injuries. She found none but her vision felt fuzzy, but it eventually focused and she saw the blue waves of an ocean. A beach? she thought, confused. Faolin turned to the  male who stopped in front of her. "I'm... I'm fine," she responded shakily, but she cleared her throat and spoke up again. "Do you know where I am?"
Title: Re: Lost Island &lt;Open!&gt;
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 03:13:06 PM
Zaida sat up and shook her head, her clothing torn and head with a horrible migraine as her vision was blurry and ears rang. The hybrid got to her feet stumbling a bit but luckily her tail caught her balance. She was emotionless as she looked down to see a cut into her side some blood trickling down, placing her paw on it to slow it down. She heard voices although they were muffled, she started towards them carefully.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 03:15:24 PM
"I'm sorry, but i'm just as lost as you are." Loote sighed, raising one paw to rub at his neck.
"I heard a roar over here... I think there might be someone else, but i'm not sure. Did you just wake up here?" He inquired, looking Faolin up and down swiftly, before poking in the sand beneath his feet with one of his claws.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 03:19:51 PM
She gave a single nod. "I just woke up when I heard you." Her ears perked as she heard more footsteps, then swiveled her head to face the direction they emanated from.  "We're certainly not alone..." she thought aloud, but remained relaxed. If they had the intent to hurt her or the boy, they would have arrived by now.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 03:23:11 PM
Loote looked too, narrowing his eyes slightly to try and peer into the forestry. He thought he could see something, but wasn't entirely sure. The rain was still obscuring his view, and lighting still flashed overhead. Loote made a note not to get too close to the ocean. The vicious waves looked cruel and unforgiving.
Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 03:24:49 PM
Zaida stopped leaning on a tree looking at the cut. ~not to deep~ she thought to herself. However She grabbed a fairly large rock her glowing eyes scanning the area slowly as she stayed perfectly still, the voices going silent...So they had to be near to know of her presence, she felt it.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 03:29:45 PM
Loote looked over at the girl he had just met, and then up at the dark, cloudy sky.
"Follow me? We can shelter from the rain under the leaves" He told her, walking towards one of the tree's between the beach and forest, and beckoning her with a hand gesture.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 03:32:59 PM
Faolin nodded, taking one final look around the treeline before walking after the Tanuki. She realized she had never gotten his name. "I never caught your name," she said politely. "My name is Faolin."
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 03:35:58 PM
Loote slumped down at the base of the tree, where the grass wasn't so wet, and sighed in relief at proper-ish shelter. "Faolin, that's quite a nice name. I'm-" He paused mid sentence, trying to recall what he was called. "Loote. At least, i'm pretty sure." He raised his head to look into the ocean. Although it was dark and stormy, he could see a small amount of clear sky off in the distance. He just hoped it was coming in their direction.

Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 03:52:17 PM
"Loote... nice to meet you." Faolin made an attempt to smile. She had to speak up against the clattering of the rain against the leaves on the branches overhead. "I hope that whoever else is out here has shelter... it would be a shame to catch a cold when you're stranded."

(Gotta go.


PLEASE don't control my character for me, just don't interact with her. I'll catch up when I see a good point to re-introduce her.)
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 04:00:08 PM
Rasha looked around in the darkness as he couched due to some water being in his lungs.."Worse way to spend a weekend...Wait...oh.....where am I?....." He begins to panic as he now notuces his glasses are somewere..thankfully they were still intact and wear in his pocket were he left them... He was shakeing from the cold water and slowly got up to find somewere to dry off...Which he was crying but kept the noise down, not knowing what was on this island....
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:02:40 PM
((Awesome character!))

Loote nodded, rubbing his arms up and down the sides of his body, squeezing moisture from his fur. He looked into the small patch of clear sky in the distance, ignoring the flashing of lighting around, and he noticed that it was definitely getting bigger. Slowly, but it was definitely taking up more of the sky. Then... he paused. Was that... another being, that he just heard?
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 04:11:07 PM
(Thanks, you have a cool character to.)


Rasha knew that being cold blooded was soon going to make things much worse. So he took off his jacket and T shirt under a tree to provide a cover and a litte heat due to it being untouched by rain.."Man I hate sundays..."" He just let the tears flow and cover his face in sorrow..

(Posted my sheet not much but eh) Zaida followed the noises, small droplets of rain hitting against her fur. ~you can defend yourself just call out and hope for the best~ she thought "Is anyone here?" She hollered "hello?" She said stopping in place. The hybrid gripped the rock tightly and patiently waiting for a response but stayed prepared, her ears up and eyes scanning around her.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Hydragon on October 21, 2015, 04:14:15 PM
Hydragon saw loote "Hey! Over here." he yelled.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:16:43 PM
Loote was sure he could hear something. His ears perked up, he could hear both gentle sobbing, and someone calling. Both to his left... but one was deeper in the forest, and one seemed to be along the beach.
"H-hey. If there's anyone out there, come towards my voice! We can work together to find out what kind of mess we're in!" He hollered, attempting to get the attention of the two noise sources. He immediately heard another voice, and sure enough, there was another being in the sand, between him and the water. He made a frantic hand motion, beckoning the new figure up to the tree.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Hydragon on October 21, 2015, 04:19:30 PM
Hydragon ran towards the voice fast slipped up in front of loote "Hey" he said on the muddy ground.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:21:29 PM
"Hey" Loote smiled in return, looking the other up and down, to see what state they were in. "Are you injured at all?" He asked, reaching out a hand to help Hydragon.
Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 04:24:11 PM
Zaida's ears Leaned back ~what if he's an enemy... One way to find out~ "I'm heading over now but don't try anything" she said in her natural soothing voice but a bit colder as a warning. Zaida Started her way over to the voice carefully holding her side, a few minutes and two furries came in view her eyes narrowed to them. "Do any of you know why the hell are we here..." She asked.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Hydragon on October 21, 2015, 04:24:52 PM
"Im fine" he took the hand offer and got up. lightning struck a nearby tree"we gotta go".

Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:27:19 PM
"I'm just as lost as you. Woke up here about 10 minutes ago with... no memories but my name... I think." He explained, looking between the two around him.
"I heard someone over there... We could travel that way?" He asked, pointing to the east.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Hydragon on October 21, 2015, 04:28:54 PM
"good idea" Hydragon ran in the direction he pointed.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:31:37 PM
Loote paused, looking at the Serynx furry for a moment. He didn't want to move unless he was sure everyone was able to.
"Are you okay? Injured at all?" He asked, voice clouded with worry.
Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 04:37:09 PM
"no one knows, Fantastic." She said calmly. "I am just a gash." She replied her tail swaying up and down as she romped her paw from the wound. (Brb)
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 04:51:02 PM
"Hey, what's your name, by the way?" He asked, a smile upon his face. "Assuming you can remember. I'm not sure how much everyone knows about themselves right now."
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 05:07:08 PM
Rasha heard some voices over his self pity, he ringed out his T shirt and shuffled to the sound though he took his time since his legs and body felt sore..."Hello?....Is anyone here on this crappy island?"
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 05:13:18 PM
Loote's ears perked up, as he heard another voice. He looked back at the Serynx furry, and muttered "Hold that thought." He began walking towards where he had heard the voice, and sure enough, he managed to spot another creature.
"Hey! Are you okay?" He asked urgently, jogging over to Rasha.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 05:18:43 PM
"Oh thank gawd!" He sits on the floor after he trips due to him being carried away.."owww...I'm hurting..Gawd F going on a cruise..."
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 05:25:04 PM
Loote slipped one arm around Rasha, trying to steady him and help him stand again.
"A cruise? Do you have any memories besides your name?" The tanuki inquired, suddenly curious. This could be lead, if it was anything.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 05:32:39 PM
He nods as a wince of pain is shot through him.."I'm Rasha.and...Umm..crap it's fuzzy..Wait! I was on a cruise ship...I was going to my step dads....but..but..Ugh..I I know was that I was in my room and when I woke up..I was washed up on this beach..." He grabs his head and shakes due to him becomeing cold.."Hey..don't leave me...please...I'm freezeing..."
Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 05:35:59 PM
(Back) Zaida followed after thinking about her name and how she got here. Before catching up to the tanuki and alligator listening to the conversation, silently. ~cruise? I know I didn't come from a ship or at least I think I didn't...~
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 05:38:33 PM
"Come on, I've got you. There's a few others on this island, and I think our best bet is banding together. It's a short walk, and then you can rest under a tree, okay?" Loote said calmly to the other, making sure his grip was secure. He was worried about Rasha, in case he wouldn't manage walking. "I'm Loote, by the way." He said, taking slow steps. Suddenly, he became aware that the girl from before was there.
"And Rasha, this is..." He began to introduce the other, before pausing. "Oh gosh, I messed up... I don't think I caught your name." He said to Zaida, an awkward grin upon his face.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 05:42:01 PM
Rasha nods and bears through the pain getting used to it with each step as he looked up and smiled a bit, but calms down knowing that he wasn't the only one trapped and confused.."Thanks...I feel like crap..but a little rest will do me well.."
Title: Re: Lost Island &lt;Open!&gt;
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 05:43:38 PM
"Zaida, my name is Zaida" she replied in a soothing tone to loote with her arms crossed looking at the two furries with a calm expression, as she studied them both taking mental note.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 05:48:13 PM
Rasha trys to wistle at this hot mama, but stops as he bites his lips..."Hello their...yea cool..." He tryed to think more about the cruise, but now he thinks about it...Why was he on it? He didn't have a step father, plus wouldn't someone be with him?
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 05:51:41 PM
Loote chuckled softly, and he noticed that the rain was beginning to ease off slightly, and the crashes of thunder and flashes of lighting were becoming less frequent. He lifted his head, and noticed the tree from before was just up ahead. It seemed to a fine place to shelter for the mean time, but he didn't dare think what would happen when the tide came in.
Title: Re: Lost Island &lt;Open!&gt;
Post by: Farewell on October 21, 2015, 05:56:16 PM
"I think I've been here for quite some time... Maybe a week or so or it seems." She said studying her clothing. "I'm just not sure how I got here... Maybe plane, boat?" She mumbled while trying to refresh her scrambled memory.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Naval on October 21, 2015, 06:01:52 PM
"Well if this was a seen from a movie...I would say when the sun shines, we need a SOS." He said as he fixed his glasses and smiled as he was closer to the tree so he can rest..
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 06:03:53 PM
Loote helped to set Rasha down under the shelter of the tree, while listening intently to what the two had to say.
"I really can't remember anything. Even my looks are unfamiliar to me, but I guess i've not had a proper look at myself." Loote told the others, before pausing.
"I don't know what we should do next. I believe it would be best to wait until the storm stops, but then what? Should we adventure around and try to find civilization, or set up camp somewhere?" He asked, although it was mostly a rhetorical question. Then, he let a soft sigh out. "Gosh, this is confusing. I don't know how i've not broken down yet."
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Hydragon on October 21, 2015, 06:49:14 PM
Hydragon returned with 3-4 fish "ok i got food" he puts the fish on a nearby flat rock .

Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 09:24:27 PM
(Heya.)

"I don't think we should set up a signal yet, not until we know how we got here and if anyone would come looking for us. If we came here by a ship or a plane, there would be more furries. I can tell this is a fairly small island, because sounds travel fairly well," Faolin cut in, after listening and processing for some time. "The best thing we can do is wait until this storm blows over. In the meantime, we should try to find more permanent shelter."
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Loote on October 21, 2015, 09:48:06 PM
"That sounds pretty good." Loote smiled, glad to feel hopeful. "The thing is, I don't know how far we can travel until Rasha heals up. But again, if it is a small island, like you said, then we shouldn't have to travel too far to find shelter" He rambled, getting caught up in thoughts. He then shook his head, slightly comically, to bring himself back to the matter at hand. "Have any of you seen anyone else?"
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Keinai on October 21, 2015, 09:56:32 PM
"Right," Faolin nodded, taking a quick glance at Rasha. "Well, I don't like sitting and doing nothing. I'm going to find some dry things we can use for a fire. Anyone can come with me if they would like."


She stalked off deeper into the woods, scanning the ground for any dry spots around tree trunks. She wasn't wooried about getting lost, even with the rain. She's tracked prey in five-foot snow, she was certain she could find her way back. Thinking about snow made her realize how much sweat had formed on her body, how much she was panting since she woke up. Her thick winter coat was useless in the island's heat.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>

"Not bragging but I am strong I could carry rasha if he gets worse" He Suggested while guting the fish he caught.

Zaida looked at the wolvien with a raised brow giving a huff through her nose. ~don't trust them, you just met them~ she thought before looking at the furry gut fish. she wasn't in the mood to talk with any of these anthro's, she only thought staying in complete silence as she watched the waves crash into some rocks. Zaida's tail laying limp and ears laying down as she gave a surprisingly relaxing sigh.

Post by: Loote on October 22, 2015, 09:31:09 AM
After the group sat in near silence for a while, while Faolin went to collect wood, the sun had begun to show itself ever so slightly on the horizon, and the storm was beginning to die down. The harsh pelting of raindrops had became a soft drizzle, and the thunder and lightning was completely gone.
"I think, when the sun comes up, we should try and travel. At least a little. Does that sound okay with you guys?"
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>

"Fine with me" He said wrapping the gutted fish in a large leaf

Zaida looked at her paw covered in blood. She placed it over her side to keep it Secure. She then sat, leaning on a tree having a little distance from the others as she did.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Keinai on October 22, 2015, 12:57:11 PM
Faolin came back to the group, some dry bark, twings of varying sizes, dead vines, and two semi-dry logs. "It's okay if the logs are wet, wet wood is just harder to get started, but not completely unusable." She looked up at the sky, seeing small rays of sunlight trickle through the clouds. "Then again, we may not even need this until nighttime."

She sighed and set the firewood on a smooth, flat rock. This is awkward, she thought, looking around the group. I'm completely certain they don't all trust themselves, but it wouldn't  kill anyone to do some work and help me.

She cleared her throat. "While I was collecting firewood I had an idea. We could use banana leaves as a tarp to cover our firewood and to keep ourselves dry. They're very tough and slick so rain gets them wet, but it doesn't seep through." She smiled lightly, she did care about their lives even if anyone didn't care about hers.

Zaida had a stick seemingly scrapping it against a rock with force. The tip gradually getting sharp like a spear. He hybrid huffed while doing this although her ears flicked, paying attention to her surroundings especially the other furs.

A young bear sat under a tree, listening to the pouring rain as it tapped upon the leaves and dripped off onto his soaked fur. He whimpered softly, shivering as the wind picked up.
Lonely. He couldn't remember feeling so alone before... Well, he couldn't remember much of anything, really. He just knew that his name was Geoffrey, and by the dirty and worn appearance of his clothes, it was clear he had been through troubled times.

Name: Geoffrey
Sex: Male
Species: American black bear
Age: 20

"Not good enough..." She mumbled studying the wooden spear. ~I need obsidian to make an arrowhead or at least something that can substitute, this is a tropical island and I'm certain there's predators that lurk about, and my wound needs to be healed~ she thought. "I'll be looking for things" Zaida said in a calm tone. "I won't go far"

Faolin sat down and took a fish from where Hydragon left them. Fish wasn't her favorite meat but she didn't mind the taste. She pulled the scales, skin, and fins off before taking a bite. "After we eat I suggest collecting those banana leaves. Since the sun is coming out, we can leave the firewood on the beach to dry while we gather. We won't need to start a fire until sundown," she responded after swallowing. "I'm fine in the rain, as wolf fur is practically waterproof, but it's good to have shelter from the sun, too," she thought aloud, then blinked. "Oh, I didn't see anyone else or find anything dangerous, but I smelled what I think is bear, but it wasn't earthy-scented like the brown bears in the mountains are. More like trees," she explained.

Zaida walked cautiously around before she heard a crunch under her boot, looking down it seemed to be a think plant spikes on the side. "Aloe." She said squatting down "this is perfect." She said quietly looking at her wooden spear, wasn't enough to harm anything since it was a bit flimsy. Although the sharp tip was able to impale the plant not wanting to get poked by its thorns. Picking it up gently she started her way back, she would at least find some materials later for a weapon.

Name: Quoth
Sex: Male
Species: Raven
Age: 22
Appearance: 6"5 and Lanky. Pitch black feathers are ruffled all over their body, two great big dark wings are sprouting from their back. Their left eye is closed, but the other is white with a round pupil. their talons are razor sharp, and their beak is long and dark grey.
Personality: Intelligent, Creative, Likes to be alone, Seems intimidating, but is up for a laugh.




They awoke with a jolt. Slowly, they could feel every muscle in their body begin to ache. They groaned and shut their eyes. Hang on, where are we? Their eyes sprung open to be met with sky. They sat up quickly, only to be faced with pain. One wing was tucked neatly away, the other drooping and stuck out in a terrible, twisted angle. They clenched their beak.




"Anyone here?" They shouted, a small 'Caw' followed.
Title: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Farewell on October 23, 2015, 04:32:38 PM
Zaida heard something following her but another voice call out as she was breaking the aloe leaf to get the gel for her wound. She stopped her ears perked. "Yes, Over here follow my voice" she hollered back to the Raven.
Zaida started to look about curiously for what was following her ears laying down and snarled slightly. "Come out i know your following me" she said with a quiet hiss as a warning before spotting the bear hidden behind trees and plants.
Title: Re: Lost Island <Open!>
Post by: Quoth The Raven on October 23, 2015, 04:58:18 PM
Quoths' head jerked up and faced the direction of the voice. They gave a sigh of relief. Without thinking, they flapped their wings, only to wince and screw their eyes up in pain.
Well that was stupid.
They slowly got up, their feathers were clumped together and they were soaked. They looked terrible. They slowly made their way to the voice, limping all the way.

Geoff stumbled along behind the serynx, looking around cautiously. Hopefully this group knew what he was doing here, and perhaps even more importantly, had some food to share. It felt as if he hadn't eaten in a very long time, and he had no idea how he got to this point.

The serynx Held her side walking her swaying and other paw holding the aloe leaf carefully not to be poked by thorns. It wasn't long before he two met up with the group.

Quoth sat crouched, staring at the stream. At first glance, it looks as if they were daydreaming, but looking closer, their eyes were darting around in small, flickering motions. Their muscles tensed, and there was a flap of feathers, the splash of water, and a fish speared on two of their talons.
They retrieved the fish from their claws, and held it up.
"Anyone like fish? I can catch plenty."

The bear staggered over to the stream and began to fish.

Once they had collected six more fish, they sat back and began to nibble on one.
"Anyone feel free to take one, I can always get more."
They adjusted themself so that their broken wing rested on the ground.
"Once I've eaten, I'll probably venture out to find some sticks and stuff to stabilize my wing, anyone need anything while i'm going?"

Tango was  crouching in the far corner of an ally way, cowering below a hefty German Shepard.
The dog hit her on the cheek, and picked her up.
"Thief!" It said.
"Please!" Tango pleaded. " I was starved!"

Being a survivor, I got to my feet to survey the island and find food, water, and shelter.

I walked in the direction of the mountain, hoping to find some food. I sniffed the air and smelled rabbit. How could anyone be bored when they need to focus on surviving? I speared the rabbit and took it to my temporary shelter to cook.

Geoff stood up and leaned slightly against his staff. "Okay, now what," he mumbled to himself, staring at a tree as he tried to think back on the survival tips he learned.
Clean water is the most important, and thankfully it was abundant with these streams. Shelter after that, right? Food was already sorted, which had to be tackled immediately in his case. He was curious about how he even got to that point, or what led him to forget in the first place, but this all was a mystery that had to wait before more pressing matters, that being a source of shelter.

The bear wondered if the mountain across the river was a good place to go. It would likely give a decent view of the land, for one thing. If there were no livable caves, setting up shelter nearby may be a good idea, as long as there weren't any large territorial ferals patrolling around. The last thing he wanted was to get battered around by some angry beast in the middle of the night.
