Roleplaying

Cyrus growled as the intruder dodged him at the last minute and leapt into a nearby tree. Cyrus snarled as the intruder pleaded with him. In beast mode, Cyrus could speak, well not correct and coherrent english, but his words were guttaral. Cyrus examined the tree and then looked up at his opponent with a growl. His red eyes glared as he took four steps back and sprinted forward. Cyrus began to scale the tree, running up. He lunged at his opponent, but missed, slamming into the branches and sending his opponent flying out of the tree. Cyrus got stuck a bit, but managed to break free. He snarled, leaping after his opponent. Landing on all fours like a boss, Cyrus stood to his full height, spreading his wings in the process, blocking out the moonlight. With a roar, he lunged once more at his opponent.

Kin and Mai followed Cyrus. Kin took a few sniffs and said "That one is an herbivore not compettition..." The cat girl had been something that was worth chasing off. Cyrus calm down it's just a lizard boy. He isn't a threat." Mai was backing Kin in agreement and made a point to sniff after the lizard and behave in a disinterested manner. Kin actually turned to walk off making it clear that the other experiment wasn't food or a threat. She and Mai behaved like a pack unit one mind one purpose they didn't care about that and went back to the camp site like nothing had happened. They'd seen what had been up and it was nothing. The food was gone because of the lynx chick but there was no threat. Just a little scavenger and something inedible.

The full moon began to lower in the sky, with the clouds covering it as it lowered. Dawn was approaching. Cyrus halted his attack on the reptilian opponent, blinking his red eyes. They turned amber and suddenly dark-brown. The bestial appearance disappeared as Cyrus returned to his old self. "Uh, my head," he said, grabbing it. He looked at the reptilian dude. "Rhett...Rhett is that you?" asked Cyrus. Rhett was obviously scared. "Oh no, I didn't mean it, Rhett, I was just controlled by the moon," said Cyrus. Cyrus turned and saw Kin and Mai walking away. "Kin? Mai?" asked Cyrus. He was so confused. "What the hellabit is going on?" he asked. He looked at Rhett, apologized, and walked after the two young women. Cyrus caught up to them. "Hey, girls, what's up?" he asked, still confused on where they came from. "Have you seen Liam?" he asked, looking around for the feline adolescent. Cyrus noticed he had blood around his mouth. He quickly wiped it off. "Oh God, did I kill somebody?" he asked, tears almost coming to his eyes. He then thought of Liam. Cyrus fell to his knees. "Oh no...did I kill...Liam?" he asked.

Kin said "No he ran off after some lynx girl who stole some food." Mai said "You just need people around who can handle you like that. You were friendly with us. Especially Kin... You were all over her... You acted like a protective puppy." Mai winked flirtatiously and said "It was kind of sweet." "Mai quit flirting already. When he went feral he was all over me. Must like alpha females." Mai flattened her ears and whined "But it's fun to play with people." Kin sighed and sniffed around for Liam. "Liam actually wasn't scared of you once I set him straight. If people don't act like prey you don't treat them like prey. It's that simple. We also didn't act like we were dominant to you so that helped. Like Mai said you were all over me. With the right people around and food you're harmless."

Rhett had started to attempt a glide when the wolf man actually ran up the tree after him bumping into him as he went and knocking him from the tree. He slid a short distance after hitting the ground; the wind knocked out of him. It took him a moment to sit up “ow” he whined and rubbed his head before noticing the moonlight disappear. His reptilian eyes widened a bit as all he could perceive against the darkness where those piercing red eyes. The man lunged again, and this time he was hit as he tried shuffling out of the way, but only grazed. Standing back up he grabbed his shoulder “leave me alone” he repeated tears could be heard in his throat “what did I do to you anyway?” he asked stumbling backward. He instinctively curled his tail into a striking position ready to swing it and protect himself. Suddenly the guy’s eyes changed and-- he spoke… his name? Rhett was confused “what?” he raised a brow ‘was that some kind of game I wonder’?’ he thought uncertainly ‘wow this guy sure plays rough’ he smiled a little “do I know you?” he asked, he didn’t recognize this guy at all but he could see that he was an experiment just like him. This made him happy, and he seemed to forget that this guy had just tried to kill him. “You should have just told me you wanted to play in the first place” he grinned “you had me going there, but you`re awesome” he walked after the guy “I’ve never seen anyone move like that” he was getting excited he had been in isolation for so long it was nice to have others to talk to, theses people were the source of that noise he was sure of it. Then he saw the other women there ‘there’s more of them!’ he thought giddily “Hi there, I’m Rhett” he waved wasting no time introducing himself.

Lexy shrieked as she was caught off guard taking a hit in the side and being knocked to the ground “get off of me!” she demanded irritated, pushing him off her and standing up. She listened to him “Just a shadow” she answered him dismissively waving her hand “I don`t need to explain myself to you” she huffed “I saw an opportunity and I took it” she said simply “why ask? when stealing more fun” she grinned and then looked aggravated “besides I’m not interested in your little pagan ritual or whatever the heck it was you were doing back there” she didn`t even know why she was wasting words on this guy, she was upset enough at being foiled, and embarrassed. She wanted to slink away and pretend that never happened. She looked impatient and put her hands up “alright you caught me so what now?” she asked cynically “you going to let me go or what?” she demanded, ready to fight if need be.

Cyrus noticed Rhett had followed. He understood what Kin and Mai told him, even blushing a little. "I guess I got carried away," said Cyrus. He looked at Rhett. "Rhett, I'm Cyrus," said Cyrus. "I'm a wolf experiment like Mai," he said. He patted Rhett on the shoulder. "I'm one of the eldest experiments," said Cyrus. He looked over at Kin. "If I'm calm with you, Mai, and Liam, that means I have pack mentality in my beast mode," said Cyrus. "Which would explain why I attacked you, Rhett," he said. "It was a territory issue, but trust me, this isn't my turf," said Cyrus. He walked over to the vines, passing Kin on the way. Was it really by bestial behavior that responded to Kin in such a way...or was it really...me? Cyrus thought. He squatted before the torn vines. "I can't believe I broke free," he said. Cyrus sighed. "I'm getting stronger every full moon," he said. "I just can't get my mind on why those scientists made me like this...a monster on full moons," said Cyrus.

Liam growled and got off the girl. "My apologies," he said. He then hurried off. So stupid, why did I do that? Liam asked himself. He soon found Cyrus, who was better. "Maybe they wanted to see if they could reverse it," said an arriving Liam. Cyrus turned and breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, you're alive, bud," said Cyrus. The two punched knuckles. "It's a good thing it's dawn," said Liam. Cyrus nodded. He then looked from Rhett, to Liam, to Mai, and then Kin. "There are five of us, meaning that lynx girl is close by, making it six," he said. "Since we're together, we might as well band together just in case we're discovered by the scientists," said Cyrus. Liam chuckled. Cyrus looked at him. "What's funny, Liam?" he asked. "You're taking charge just like an alpha male," said Liam. Cyrus smiled and looked over at the fire. With a high leap, Cyrus landed upon the fire feet first. He put out the flames in one stomp, clearing his throat afterward. "Let's look for this lynx girl," he said. "I think her name was Lexus or Becky, or something like that," said Cyrus, walking past the others.

Rhett listened intently “well nice to meet you” he smiled widely after listening further he frowned a bit “so then you really did attack me?” he stammered a bit “but I thought…” with the realization that he was standing in front of someone who had genuinely tried to kill him his instincts kicked in and he started backing away. He smelt blood on them, his stomach started to feel sick. He was pretty single minded and hadn’t even noticed until the doubt set in. Upon hearing Cyrus ask him to band together with them he shook his head, grinning and putting his hands out “no, I’m more of a loner really—I should probably get going” he backed up a bit more before Cyrus put out the fire “whoa” he breathed “you’re so cool” all reservations seemingly slipping away again as he regained his steps. He was scatterbrained for sure. ‘This could be fun’ he thought jovially “actually I can hang with you guys” he was getting psyched by the prospect of making friends, even if they did smell bad and probably killed things. “there are more?” he wondered aloud with interest “alright let`s go find her” he chimed, walking ahead with gusto. 

Kin and Mai just shrugged at each other and followed after the others. Kin was the one in charge. Kin followed after Cyrus and commented "Smaller groups would be harder to spot. Meet up at the beach if we all head south. I saw a map and there's an island five miles to the south. If we fly most of the way we should build up the stamina to clear the five miles no problems." Kin was the woman with the plan. She and Mai had gone over the plan many times and executed an advanced escape plan on wits alone. They knew they had a good plan. Mai would follow Kin if she decided to break off from this larger pack. She'd try to get Cyrus to come with them but she'd still go.

"Sounds good," said Cyrus. "Besides, we're heading south anyway," he said. Liam nodded. "That was the plan from the start," said Cyrus. "While I was in the lab, I got quick glimpse of the map as well and learned the locations with a photographic memory," said Cyrus. "I managed to get the ropes to help us break free," said Liam. Cyrus nodded. "Our wings were fully drenched, so we needed to escape 0ut the window," he said. They walked on. "If we do split into smaller groups, or pairs, we're just going to end up going in the same direction," said Cyrus. "True," said Liam. "But then again, if we split, we might find other experiments like us," he said. "I just hope I don't run into that lynx girl again," said Liam. Cyrus chuckled. He then spread his wings. "Shall we?" he asked, lifting into the air.

Rhett listened to them talk with minimal interest and shrugged “I’m game for anything” he chimed snapping his tail against the air impatiently. They talked about what they were going to do too much , Rhett liked to be spontaneous and not make plans, or at least actually do something rather than just stand there talking about it. He watched Cyrus lift into the air hesitating a moment “but… I don`t see well at night” he nearly whispered. He didn`t want to be shown up though, so he spread his wings and launched himself off the ground “let`s do it” he grinned then grabbed hold of a tree and went back to gliding swiftly from tree to tree, not even looking back to see if the others were following him. He was feeling a little tired, but he didn`t let it get to him. It didn`t take long for him to miss a tree, since he was having a hard time telling where one tree started and another ended. He lost his balance and crashed into a different tree as he wasn’t prepared to grab that one. He picked himself up and shook off, wasting no time scrambling up the tree and starting again, attempting to play that off ‘hope no one saw that’.

Kin had to drag Mai off when she glomped Cyrus "See you at the beach... Mai you'll see them again. I can't fly and drag you." Mai huffed but reluctantly spread her wings and Kin went with her catching up quickly and taking point. She instinctively used thermals to gain altitiude but stayed low over the trees less likely to be noticed or so she hoped. Kin and Mai cleared more than five miles easily in a few hours of flying but then they had to land before they fell. Mai was still getting the landings down and had to catch herself before she fell flat on her face. Kin noticed berries edible berries. Now Kin had quite the sweet tooth so when she saw those blackberries she went to town. Mai whined for meat and Kin pulled out some of the deer from last night she'd swiped while nobody was looking It was wrapped in leaves and still raw. Mai ate it happily. Then Kin got back to her breakfast. By the time she was done her face was covered in berry juice and they had to find a river to wash up and clean their clothes. The water was cold but the girls splashed their wings and ruffled their feathers like birds taking a bath while they washed the rest of themselves. Then they dried off in the sun and finger preened eachother's feathers while they waited for their clothes to dry.

Liam, Rhett, and Cyrus walked on. "Shouldn't we be following them?" he asked Cyrus. "Not yet," said Cyrus. "I don't want it to seem like we're stalking them every step of the way, Liam," he said. "But you said south," said Liam. "Yeah, but no flying," said Cyrus. "You, me, and Rhett can just walk on," he said. "Yeah, but Rhett's flying," said Liam, looking up at the reptile. Cyrus looked up too. "He just crashed, trust me, we're going at the same pace," said Cyrus. Liam sighed. He watched where he was stepping, careful not to fall. Liam wondered why Cyrus even had a feral side to him. Was it an aded side effect from the experiment? Liam looked at Cyrus. Cyrus felt him staring, but played it off. Liam continued to stare until Cyrus growled at him. "What?" he asked. "Why do you have a feral side and none of us else do?" Liam asked. The question left Cyrus hesitating. He then shrugged. "I don't know, Liam," he said. "I guess the scientists wanted to see what it was like," said Cyrus. "Yeah, but you ended up killing one of them when they tested on you that one full moon night ago," said Liam. "True, but he deserved it," said Cyrus. Liam shook his head. "There's got to be a way to control that feral side, I mean you can't even talk right when you're feral," said Liam. Cyrus looked at him. "All you do is growl, snarl, howl, bite, and eat, no conversation," said Liam. "That's the whole point of being feral, Liam," said Cyrus. "You never know, that feral side could help us in the future," said Liam.

Kin and Mai redressed themselves. Cyrus knew so little about the feral side... Kin hadn't learned to fear her feral nature, she'd accepted it as part of herself something to not be suppressed until it exploded once a month but let out regularly and kept on a leash not in a cage. Kin was convinced Mai was part dog not wolf because of how easy she was to manage. She was letting it sharpen her senses as Mai slept on in front of her. Her human part was telling her it was best to not be alone, the independant fox said 'but it can be done...' and the bird said 'it isn't safe on the ground like this' Kin had turned her feral side into another voice in her head. Took a little practice... Kin also took after a less agressive animal that was easier to reign in.

Just on the outside of the lab.

There are trees, about a half a mile of them completely surround the lab. Tall, loblolly pines. 

If you get farther out to the north, a snowy cliff.

To the east,also cliffs, but these are warmer. Less trees, but lots of rivers flow through.

You're going to hit a dead end if you go south, but it might work for you. It's a beach, and there is a tropical island about five miles off the coast.

Whatever you do... Don't go west.

Shh... They'll hear you.

If they catch you, then they'll take you back to the lab.

That's the last thing you want.

So spread your wings and fly, fight them, or outsmart them.

What you do now will change your life.

You my friend, are nothing more than an experiment.

You seem to be human at first glance. Then, upon further inspection, one would see your wings. 

If they look closer, they will see some other animal quality.

They will scream and run.

What do you think you are doing, running away from me?

I will find you.

You will regret this.

==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==

...That all creeped you out, right? Unerved you a little? 

I wonder who was talking to you just them...hmm...

WHELP, anyway, here's the rules.

 

You have JUST NOW escaped the lab, that is where you start. (In the woods.) If you don't know, Loblolly pines are tall, skinny pines. they only have branches at the top. (Real life truffula trees, only a lot taller.)

You MUST have two Oc's. One will be killable, one not.

You have wings. The wings can look however you want.

 in addition to your wings, you also have some qualities from another animal. THis may be any real animal that is alive today, and you must use only ONE other animal. (EX: Cat ears and tail, fangs and snake eyes, gills and tinted skin.)

I controll all scientists/staff/wild animals/ things you will encounter if you make the poor decision to go west.

You do not pick which of your OC's is killable. I may kill either one of them.

Get my permission before killing an OC.

(Yes, I am being a controll freak with this RP, but I'm trying something new with it and I think it will be interesting.)

Quick note- You may encounter a person who goes by "Rowan," "Silver," "Menace," or any combination of these three names.. She seems to be an escapee from a while back... will she help or hurt you?

Pmme with questions BEFORE making a character.

Good luck then.
