Roleplaying

Fango stretched and yawned. Another day of torture... Fango shook her pelt, her big ears wiggling. "Hey rat!" called out a voice. Fango looked up, to see the same stupid pigeons that would bother her everyday. "Oh shut it, worm-breath!" barked Fango. The small flock of pigeons laughed. Then, poof! All Fango saw were feathers drifiting in the air. "No! Jim, what happened!'" one of the pigeons shreiked. There was a loud roar and some growls. Fango walked over to the side of her exhibit, the ordinary stone wall, but with a circular window, where guests would interact with Fango by tapping on the glass and taking pictures. She looked to the side, next to her exhibit was the lion one, and then the hyenas. Fango yelled out, "Looks like the lions are having chicken for breakfast!" "Shut it rat! That dumb lion ate Jim!" Fango fell to the floor laughing.

Forgot to mention something, the guests of the zoo don't know the dark secret within the facility, and humans do not understand what the animals are saying. All that humans would hear is barks and squawks and growls and yowls and meows and blah blah all that stuff XD

Once Fango had stopped laughing, she sighed. She looked over to the corner of her so called exhibit. The bones of her family were in the dark corner. Her mother, and her two brothers. She whimpered. "Whats wrong, rat?" The stupid pigeon flew down into her exhibit. Fango whipped around and growled. "Pfft, you don't scare me pu-" the pigeon's sentence was cut off. Fango now held a limp 'chicken' in her jaws. She tossed the nasty bird over to the wall. There were some stones and boulders she would climb up, and reach some shade of a umbrella thorn tree. She had a very small pond of water, and almost never got food. Fango walked up the boulders and reached the top. She looked down, no people. It was much too early for the zoo to open. She lay down and began eating the pigeon. "Well at weast its mffoood.." she mumbled between mouthfuls.

Saffie jumped down from her spot on the old tree in her enclosure, stalking towards a rat in complete silence. "Watch out!" Sqwarked a pigeon as the young leopard leaped for her prey, missing it because of the air brained birds. Saffie hissed at the birds flying overhead,  jumping up and managing to swat one of their legs, sending it tumbling into her enclosure. "You'll have to do." Saffie licked her lips noisily,  the pigeon trying to get to its feet from its back. "No! Please, Saffie. I-.. I wasn't warning the mouse, I swear.." He stuttered, Saffie tutting as she edged closer, pouncing and earning a scream from the terrified bird. Purposely missing, Saffie rolled on her back,  laughing like a hyena. 

Fango finished the stupid "chicken" of a pigeon and walked toward the round interaction window. She looked across, spotting a leopard laughing it's lungs out. Of course Fango had to laugh, with the personality she had, almost anything could make her laugh. The leopard even sounded like her friend Brute. She could also hear Brute's laughs in the distance. Fango stopped laughing and turned back around. In the corner next to the interaction window, was a rock outcropping, where she ate the pigeon. In the rock outcropping, there was a small waterfall which created a small lake/pond. Fango climbed back up the outcropping resting on one of the stones at the top.

The pigeon squawked, flying off when it gathered itself. Saffie managed to stand after a while, still giggling lightly. "Stupid bird." She shook her head. Saffie winced when one of the elder leopards roared their warning at her. "Keep it down!" They roared, Saffie dipped her head, her body submissively low to the ground. "Sorry." She purred, walking to the edge of the enclosure, laying next to the fence, one of the keepers kicked the fence, shouting their strange language, which made her get up, walking next to a rock, her head on the ground. Saffie watched as more of the human things crowded around her enclosure, hearing their weird noises when she hopped up onto a rock, sitting on it, panting from the sun.

Fango sighed, now the people were flooding in. The leopards were lucky, they had a fence, people could throw them food. But Fango was in a wall closed enclosure. The roof was chains (like a chain fence or jail fence etc) the left wall was rocks (where interaction window is) and the right wall was rocks at well. The back wall was the rock outcropping with the waterfall. Plop. Fangos large ears perked up, she turned around. "Food!" She ran toward the meat dropped in her enclosure. Her happy face was now a frown. She looked up at the zoo keeper. The zoo keeper only shooed her away. I bet the zoo keeper would have kicked the poor canine if the zoo was closed. It peice of meat was fairly large, but it was.. brown and... stinky. She ate it anyway.  It tasted nasty, but it was something. Fango remembered when she was a little younger the zoo was so nice, but then a company bought the zoo, and these employees were demons.

Saffie hissed as the humans began to make a lot of noise. Their young cried and screamed. She swatted her paw at them, but the zookeepers turned on a machine that made a high pitched sound. Saffie yowled, the noise hurting her ears. She snook inside, where the enclosure was mostly made of concrete, except for a glass window so the humans could see her still. The young leopard laid in the corner out of view, her stomach rumbled in hunger, wishing she had eaten that darn bird. With a sudden thirst, Saffie walked to her dirty water bowl, lapping up some of the water, the noise had stopped thankfully. She knew it would come back if she didn't go back outside after a certain amount of time.

Fango knew that soon the water would mysteriously go away. (They shut off the water in the afternoon and then turn it on in evening then off at night and morning. So the water only stays for at least 1-2 hours before each stop) Fango drank as much water as she could. She stuffed her face in the water, rolled in it, swam in it, and jumped in it. Her fur was now soaked, but not for long.  Fango, her fur now heavy with water, padded to the corner where there was an umbrella thron tree. She lay down, licking her soaked legs.

Saffie hissed as the young humans hit on the glass. They annoyed her until she jumped at the glass. Hearing them scream was oddly satisfying. She hissed at them, it made them go away, which Saffie was proud of. Until they came into her enclosure, shooting a dart into her arm. When Saffie woke, the world was a blur. She was back outside, a faint pain on her side. She could see the blurred faces of the leopards she lived with surrounding her. "Poor kid." Croaked the oldest, before walking away. A few of the females stayed with her, just to make sure she was okay. That "treatment" had been given to them whenever they misbehaved.

Fango growled to herself as one of the leopard's got shot and fell asleep for awhile. She only knew the lions and the hyenas. The rest of the animals she had no idea who they were. The ugly hairless apes always angered her. Fango shook her fur, water going everywhere. "What are you now? A water rat? No wait, a beaver? No.. a-" The pigeon jumped at the sudden bark. "Shut it flea-brain!" "Pfft, you are the flea-brain! You are the one with fleas under your skin!" Fango snarled, "I-DO-NOT-HAVE-FLEAS!" The humans began to laugh. Fango' ears fell back onto her head, and she went into the dark corner where the bones of her family lay.

Saffie yowled as she got to her aching paws, limping to the corner of the enclosure. She yowled to herself. To the humans, that's what it sounded like, but she was actually crying. She was in pain, thinking the humans were there to care for her and the other animals, not harm them, it wasn't like this before. Saffie laid in the grass, on the side that wasn't injured. Her tears seeped into the soil, her side rising and falling. She hated this place. She wanted out. To go home, wherever that was. She had heard the others speak of it often. Saffie heard the siren for the zoo closing, she glanced around, the keepers throwing the moulding carcasses over the fences into the enclosures.

Fango sulked next to the bones of her long gone family. Her mother's and brothe'rs words rang in her big ears. Don't worry, Tiki, Bongo, and I will guide you home. Right pups? That's right momma! Fango's mother had said that she had many more siblings, but only her and her brothers Tiki and Bongo were taken, as well as her mother. She whined. Tiki and Bongo died at 6 months old. Fango was now 1 year old. I wonder what my home looked like, I wonder if my other siblings are alive, I wonder if Tiki and Bongo are as tall as me... Fango was tall and lean, like every African Wild Dog, but her ears were unique, as her ears were much bigger than they should be. Fango swivled her ears, the water was now off, and the guests were leaving.

Saffie crawled to the fence, seeing one of the dogs she tried to get her attention. "Psst!" She whispered, her lips lifting as she did so. "Psssst!" She hissed when her first attempt wasn't noticed. "What does everyone keep talking about?" She asked. "This... Home, everyone keeps speaking of?" She asked, some of the curious leopards joining her at the fence. A few of the other animals gathered at the fence, watching in curiosity. Animals that already knew were listening in. Saffie watched the African dog with interest, she knew the dog tormented the pigeons, just as she did, just it was rumoured the pigeons heard things from the animals they travelled to, as they for the freedom to come and go as they please.

Fango lifted her head from her paws. She turned her head towards the interaction window. A few leopards were gathered up at the fence. She stood up, abondoning her family's bones. She skittered over to the window, pressing her paws against the glass. "What is it?" She jumped and almost lost her balance as she heard her hyena friend, Brute, begin to laugh. "I wonder what she is laughing at..." she mumbled. She returned her attention to the leopards. "As I asked, what do you want?" She sat down on the rim of the window, the cold glass making her jump once she pressed her cheek against it.

A zoo (no specific country,location etc.)

You are a animal in a zoo, not just any zoo, a cruel zoo. You are trying to escape the inhumane acts. If you do escape and you're lucky enough, you might get the chance to get on a ship and return to your home, Africa. Will you die living in this zoo, die trying to escape human's deadly grasps, or just die trying to find your home or, will you survive?

At a certain time of day,the employees shut off the water, just to save money. So make sure you've gotten for fill of water before afetrnoon and evening.

This zoo only has a few goals. Make money, use these animals as experiments, and abuse just for fun. If only the guests knew these dark secrets...

General EX rules
