Roleplaying

With a flip of the tail Rowan landed neatly in the tree. The lynx girl seemed to have made it out here, she was talking with the wolf and the fox girls. The lion was gone... he must have been the one that the hunters killed. Great, it had been him? Well, that made the paper useless. The others were not going to care...

There went that plan. She was just going to go back to not interating. She sniffed the air... there was another wolf somewhere. And.... Oh CRAP.

There was someone in the tree next to her. A lizard looking guy. Crap... what if he saw her? There was no way the others were going to detect her - she had made sure of that by stealing some of the scent neutrilizer. They would be hard pressed to see her in the tree. 

But this dude was RIGHT next to her... this could wreck her plan.

Cyrus growled as he watched Kin and Mai interact with the cat girl. He didn't trust her. She stole their food last time, and he felt like she was waiting for the right moment to do it again and run. But that's where she had Cyrus messed up. He was a wolf, and with falcon-like wings upon his back, and a nasty feral side, he'd show her the true meaning of an animal. Cyrus walked over to Kin, crouching next to her. He whispered in her ear. "I don't trust the lynx girl, and if she tries something, I'll pin her to the ground and tie her to a tree," whispered Cyrus. He didn't like hurting females, even though he'd never done so before. But if she the lynx girl was trouble, he would have to. Cyrus walked in front of the lynx girl. "Let's get something straight, thief," said Cyrus. "You want food, water, and shelter that would live up to your expectations, you follow what she says," said Cyrus, pointing at Kin. "She's the alpha, so respect her. Respect the members as well," said Cyrus, gesturing to Rhett and Mai. "And don't think about crossing us, cause you'll have to face the fighter of the pack...me...and I'm already to snap thanks to those scientists and their mutts taking my best friend and brother!" snarled Cyrus. He grabbed the girl by her arm and looked her in the eyes. "Listen and understand me well....don't cross us," growled Cyrus, his eyes glowing from dark-brown, to amber, to red, and then back to dark-brown. He let the lynx girl go and stormed over to a tree, leaping high to land and sit on the branch.

Kin said to Cyrus "I'm watching her." Cyrus had an alpha male moment there. Kin also realized she had to warn Lexy what not to do during the next full moon so she did. "During the full moon act submissive and NOT like prey around Cyrus and he should keep himself from hurting you. He will growl snarl and carry on but the scientists did something extra to him. In fact just follow Mai's and my lead. Once he's fed he does mellow out a bit. But as long as you do your fair share and there is food in the first place you won't go hungry with us. Also since I know what I'm doing here I'm the one in charge. Got it?" Mai had started cutting the now leather into cords and such. She didn't try to bother Cyrus which was unusual. She in fact seemed content just to have a functioning pack. They didn't know they were being watched.

Cyrus stiffened. He looked over to where Rhett was and saw a girl. She was fourteen at the least. She was a creature like them, and seemed to surprised to see Rhett. Cyrus didn't want to make a big deal over it. He looked away, not giving off that he saw her. With a growl, he sprang into the air calling, "I'm going on another hunt, watch the lynx." Cyrus flew off, speeding away on his wings. He didn't know he could take off that fast. Cyrus spiraled out of the air and landed on a boulder. He stayed low, looking around. He'd seen something. What was that? He asked himself. Suddenly, there it was. The herd of deer. They seemed a bit shaken that their leader had disappeared like that. Cyrus revealed a wry smile. He then flew into the brush. The deer looked up, wondering what it was. Cyrus taunted and teased his appending meal. He flew around the herd so fast, he was like a blur. His procession corraled the herd to move in closer and huddle up. If any tried to run, they would become Cyrus's next victim. Me and Liam used to do this, he thought. He remembered doing the same to the field mice that the scientists used to bring in for Cyrus to let loose on. He and Liam were only kids then, soaring around their prey until one mouse made a break for it. Cyrus had snatched it up. Cyrus laughed as he flew around the deer.

Suddenly, one leaped forward, terrified. Cyrus snarled savagely, sending his bellow ringing through the jungle. He reached out, snatching up the doe and flying into the air. The herd scattered. The doe struggled in the air. "Stop moving," growled Cyrus. The doe bleated in fright. Cyrus groaned and whipped his head down, his eyes turning red as he bit into her throat, killing her. The doe went still after a minute, satifying Cyrus. He soared back to the camp. When he arrived, he still saw the girl. Cyrus smirked and dove out of the sky. With a surprise snarl, he rammed into the girl, knocking her out of the tree. He then caught her and threw the doe to the ground, with it landing next to the lynx girl. "So close," said Cyrus. He then landed and pinned the girl to the ground. "Who are you, what do you want, and how did you find us?" asked Cyrus.

Rowan yowled. What the... How had he seen her? She regained her balance, only to be pinned down by the brute. Next thing she knew, he was snarling in her face.

"Why you...." Rowan kicked up, unbalancing the brute just enough to slide out from under him and rocket back into the tree. Well, everyone knew that she was there now, no point in hiding. Still, she could not resist hissing at the brute. 

"Who I am is NONE of your business..." She snarled at them. To her suprise, they did not seem threatened by her. Either they were gutsy or stupid. But she was mad.

Clearly they needed to be taught a lesson. She should... no, no calm down. SHe narrowed her eyes. Then she plunged out of the tree, swooping over, hitting the brute. She pinned him against a tree and held the switch blade to his throat.

"If anyone here wants to survive, you'd best listen to me."

Kin and Mai stared at the girl. They were not going to fight this girl. Kin had been about to chide Cyrus about overhunting and bringing a carcass so close to their shelter She was going to explain that they did not want scavengers and possibly sickness around the camp site. That they couldn't afford to waste anything or get sick. Kin looked to the girl and said "I'm listening. Mai nodded and said "Me too." She held off butchering the carcass because it was in fact too close to camp. But for now they'd listen to this girl lest Cyrus pay the price. They weren't going to risk Cyrus's safety They were not watching Lexy then and there but they would notice if she took something...

Cyrus grunted as he was thrown and pinned to the tree. Did this really just happen? He wondered. "If anyone here wants to surve, you'd best listen to me," growled the girl. "Listen to you...a little fourteen year old girl among people that are older....and stronger than her?" asked Cyrus. He was angry now. He felt his muscles bulge and thicken as his teeth elongated. His wolf ears flattened back as his wolf tail curved into the air. Cyrus bristled as a menacing and heart stopping growl flowed from him. The wolfman's wings spread, making him look bigger as he contacted his feral side. He whirled, catching the girl by her wrist. Cyrus forced her to drop the blade and bent her arm back, not enough to break it, but enough to keep her still from lashing out again. "Who are you to override us?" growled Cyrus. His eyes flashed from dark-brown to amber, and finally went crimson red. He snarled viscously at the girl. "Don't you think we've been through enough with Liam being snatched from our lives?" he asked. "What reasons do you have to spy on us?" When Cyrus didn't get an answer, snarled aloud. "SPEAK!" roared the wolfman, arching his wings. He looked over at the lynx girl. "Move an inch and I'll come for you," growled Cyrus. He returned his look on the girl.

Rowan roared as the brute snatched her wrist and pulled her down. He had her arm back... but that was noting. She used her wing to smack him, and stood up, spun around.

That was it 

"Whay should you listen to me? Because you... know... NOTHING. Nothing, you stupid brute, do you know that? 

I got out three years ago. I've seen things that you could never imagine. So one of your friends was killed? Try four. Try evading them for three years. You.... are ignorant. OLDER and STRONGER than me? You really think that makes what I know invalid? I should leave you here to die. Let me tell you something Brute; what you just saw was only the begining. There's a storm rising. And if you want to survive, then you better listen."

Kin immediately tried to calm the situation. "Everyone calm the heck down. Easy... Lexy don't move." Kin's behavior was making it absoulutely clear this was not acceptable behavior. Mai stayed quiet. Kin was acting the alpha by staying calm and trying to convey calmness. Mai was picking up on Kin's attitude and remained calm. The two were willing to listen to this girl. She was warning them of danger and they realized she was that earlier escapee that the guards talked about. "Cyrus she's the one that escaped years ago... Listen to her." The girls were respectful to this stranger. And Kin was still acting the alpha sending out a calm vibe a calm energy that at least affected Mai if not the others. Lexy would see why Kin was really in charge.

Cyrus growled as he was smacked. You idiot! How could you forget about her wings! Cyrus yelled in his mind. The girl then shouted at him. "Why should you listen to me? Because you... know... NOTHING. Nothing, you stupid brute, do you know that?" shouted the girl. Cyrus mean-mugged her. "I got out three years ago. I've seen things that you could never imagine. So one of your friends was killed? Try four. Try evading them for three years. You.... are ignorant. OLDER and STRONGER than me? You really think that makes what I know invalid? I should leave you here to die. Let me tell you something Brute; what you just saw was only the begining. There's a storm rising. And if you want to survive, then you better listen." Cyrus stepped up to her, growling. "I may a brute, but that's because of what I've been through," he snapped. "I was a skinny boy, picked on by others, so I bulked up to handle myself," he said. "Everyone calm the heck down. Easy... Lexy don't move," Cyrus heard Kin say. "Cyrus she's the one that escaped years ago... Listen to her," said Kin. "She's a little...," Cyrus stopped himself. His feral side clicked. Kin's the alpha now, moron. Not you. You had your chance and blew it. Do what she says and don't ask questions. You don't want to disappoint any further, he thought. Cyrus backed off and looked at the girl. "So you're the one that escaped," he said. "My apologies," said Cyrus, disconnecting from his feral side.

Rowan swished her tail back and forth. So much for not interacting with them. 

She dropped her head. How was she going to explain everything to them? The expirements, the papers, everything. 

Best to start with what she had. "The laboratory... is called Storm Enterprises. About twneny years back, a man who worked there was looking at human genes... He found a genome. It... It does not exist in all humans. In fact, only about ... what, I think it was... one in every five thousand carries it. The genewas named the Infusion Adaptable gene, or the Fuse gene for short. The people who carry it are... anble to absord other genes from other animals. Frogs, Leopards, Sharks, you name it. That's how they created us."

Rowan paused. IT might not be good to tell them the rest of the story now... it was a lot to swallow. 

"You..." She turned to the Brute. "You knew the lion well, did you not?"

(catch up post)

Lexy grumbled when Kin called her Knife impractical ‘how dare she!’ she thought affronted 'insulting my work like that', but continued smiling, though it was a struggle. She snatched the comb away “fine I shall” she declared ‘and I’ll make you apologize while I’m at it’ she nodded, and then went to work hardly listen to what else the fox girl was saying until she was interrupted by the wolf man she looked at Kin ‘Foxy an Alpha? I don’t think so’ but she bowed her head respectfully to Cyrus “yes, yes of course, before was just me being silly you know” she assured him “I’ve turned over a new leaf, just wait and see, I’ll do what it takes to prove that, and I’m not a thief” she protested she could see that Cyrus would need to be softened up to her, judging by his animalistic ways she didn’t peg him as being particular intelligent; she could tell they would but heads. Then he grabbed her arm her eyes narrowed “get your hands off me” she hissed demandingly and jerked out of his grip, he was not scaring her he was annoying her “I won’t” she stabbed verbally narrowing her eyes “now if you’ll excuse me mister angry eyes, I have work to get back to. Humph” she swept her hair back with her hand stubbornly ‘the nerve of that guy, I’ll show him’ she walked gracefully back to where she was working.

‘So stumblebum is dead huh?’ she thought in regards to Liam, glad that she had managed to avoid saying that out loud ‘I wonder how that happened? I should probably keep my guard up—that could be trouble', she picked back up her diminutive whittling knife, and continued to whittle away at a piece of wood she had selected; she was carving a wooden shell that the stone comb could be inserted into, and be affixed to with sap. That way it would maintain the sturdiness of the stone, while also being decorative. She listened to Mai explain Cyrus’s ‘condition’ with minimal interest “I’ve got it” she nodded “but I don`t think it will be a problem” she declared confidently “I never act like prey” she was exasperated that they were talking to her as if she were a child ‘watching me?’ she though vexingly ‘what am I five?!’ she calmed herself down, she could tell that her and Kin were going to butt heads as well. 

Later on when Cyrus knocked a stranger out of a nearby tree, she stayed out of it ‘Things are getting infesting’ she grinned toothily but stayed put dedicated to her work; she was a bit of a perfectionist after all. When Cyrus took the time to specifically address her she became cross “alright already!” she growled “I get it” she folded her arms scowling at him. She hadn’t moved an inch the whole time, but now she felt like doing it for no other reason than spite. She resisted the urge to try to get under his skin, thinking better of it, and continued her work.

Then Kin told her not to move, she growled ‘that’s it’ she thought irritably and stood up, folding her arms to show she was not amused “maybe I will” she declared obstinately, taking a step “oops” she grinned before sitting back down, and getting back to her work “Seriously, what am I a prisoner here now?” she asked “I already gave you my word that I’m not here to steal, and I’m helping what does it take to get it through you people’s thick, heads—I am not you enemy” she closed her eyes sticking her nose into the air and turned her back to them, getting back to work. Kin alpha behavior was lost on her as she simply didn`t recognize authority of any kind. 

Rhett had actually fallen asleep up in the tree out of boredom, and had never seen the girl up there; though Cyrus’s actions had woken him. He yawned and stretched, taking his sweet time to check out what the commotion was about. Climbing down the tree he spotted two strangers, one was seemingly be attacked by Cyrus and the other was just sitting there. “What’s going on?” he started to ask, but then smelt fresh blood. His face twisted in disgust. The smell was strong, a freshly dead animal was nearby, his stomach churned, and he stuck his tongue out. He tried to ignore it so he could listen, but he felt nauseous, it was his instinct to move away from the smell of blood, blood meant danger. “That smell” he snorted, covering his nose and mouth, halfway closing one eye “um, I’ll just come back later” he said quickly and rushed back up the tree, rubbing his stomach donning a sour expression.

He`d wanted to listen, and find out what was going on, but he had a sensitive constitution. He`d need to get over that if he wanted to stay with this group and he knew it ‘I can do it’ he assured himself ‘I can do anything if I try’ he grinned and nodded, climbing back down the tree. The smell hit him hard, causing him to feel even more nauseous. He looked like he was going to be sick, but stood his ground. Then he became so nauseous being subjected to an onslaught of that overpowering smell as the deer was nearby bleeding out. The scent of it pooling left a metallic tang in his mouth as he simply fainted; over come. 

Cyrus nodded, taking in the information. He had calmed, and quick too. "Yeah," he said to her. "Liam and I were best friends...brothers even," said Cyrus. He looked over at the lynx girl as she moved out of irritation. Cyrus growled, flattening his ears. "You're not a prisoner, but keep trying my patience and you'll end up one," he snapped. "And I heard what you said about Liam, you ungrateful feline!" growled Cyrus. "I should knock your wings off your back and stomp your tail in, but I'm a changed wolf, trying to be all goody goody and what not. Now I could've taken your stank attitude behind, thrown you in a mud pit, and left you there to be eaten by the magets. But I didn't wanna make you mad, just like deep, deep down inside, you don't wanna make me mad either, now do you?" asked Cyrus. "I thought not," he said, not bothering to hear her answer. He turned back to the girl. "So, you're Rowan?" asked Cyrus. "I gotta admit, I thought Rowan would be a little older...and taller...but I never knew she be strong enough to fight a wolfman back," he said. "Forgive me for lashing out, but Liam's death has my mind switching from alpha, to fighter, to regular pack member," said Cyrus. He then saw down. "Liam and I met when I was the only wolf at the lab," said Cyrus. "He was the shy one, always getting beat up, but I intervened, helping him out in fights," he said. "We became so close that we could've fought in sync," said Cyrus. He looked back at Rowan. "That was my brother...not by blood, but still....he was my brother," said Cyrus. He looked over at the lynx girl. "I'm sure he never meant to hurt anyone," said Cyrus. Looking down at his feet, Cyrus felt the tears emerging. "Why'd they pick him off? Why him instead of me...or her?" asked Cyrus, pointing at the lynx girl.

(Sorry, Striker, but I can't help it. They're gonna be like enemies, then friends so I might as well get on her nerves, lol.)

Kin absorbed the one girl's information and saw Rhett faint. To Lexy she said "You don't recognize authority. Then if you won't even let me teach you how to make it on your own. Leave, starve, I don't have the time to deal with you." Kin wasn't going to take the knife from her it was hers. Kin was going to listen to this escapee, not Lexy. Mai made to chase Lexy off and Kin allowed it. But Kin did not expect total obediance and she wanted Cyrus to know that. She said "Cyrus I don't expect absolute obediance from everyone. I won't control your thoughts, and you can say what you want. Just listen to this one girl and you were right about the lynx girl." Kin added "I'm not a dictator and I don't have all the answers. This girl has some and we should listen to her."

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.
