Roleplaying

"I admire your character Nightshade. I was too happy with myself to ever leave the arena. It was the only place where I was on top. I like control too much." Tess admitted to her new found companion. It was getting dark, the night fading as it blanketed the world in a shadowy haze. "I like your horns by the way." The prideful allosaurus said with a nod of her head.

"Perhaps we should be friends?" Tesla asked and turned her head towards the Carnotaurus as they walked along an old game trail in the woods. The small trail was immensely tiny compared to the feet of the therapods. Tesla and Nightshade left footprinta in the hard dirt as it caves under their weight. Tess examined the footprints, taking note that Nightshade's feet were farther spread out then hers, but hers were larger in size.

"Perhaps we should," Nightshade said in a faintly happy tone. "Well, where should we head now? Quite honestly I'm hungry and its been a while since I've eaten a decent meal. I guess it's the same for you." Nightshade was naturally alert and listened to every nearby detail, her eyes sort of faded out of focus but she still knew where to step. She could hear the sound of rustling leaves, crunching of branches, the suprisingly mellow thud of there great big feet and gentle swooshing of her's and Tessa's tails. She then heard the trickling of a river or stream. Nightshade then began to notice how dry her mouth was. "As well as food, do you think we should look for something to drink?"

"A meal and drink would do wonders I think." Tesla agreed. She bent over at the stream Nightshade found, very happy to have come across such a blessing at the moment. Now all they needed was a bite to eat. Surely there was some food around here.

"Typically in the area is whitetail deer. They're not exactly filling but they'll do. If we can catch a load of them, maybe we could have ourselves a fine supper?" Tess proposed to the carno as she strained herself to listen for the snorts and faint patter of the cloven feet of the elusive hooves animals.

Nightshade sniffed the air for the nearest prey, she reached the edge of the forest and looked upon a beautiful plain. The grass was a pushes green, a stream ran gently through the meadow. Almost like a scar, but not the nasty ugly ones humans left in the land, but a beautiful one, one that belonged there. Nightshade hadn't felt this good in a long time, she felt free of pressure. Except for the growling of her stomach. She inhaled a big breath of fresh air, then scanned the area for the best looking prey. "Deer it is then, Tessa?"

"Let's get our hunt on!" Tesla said with a goofy grin, the first sign of emotion she's shown towards something (and someone) in a long time. This bizarre feeling made her stop for a split second and second guess herself before shaking it off and continuing on.

Her and Nightshade went their seperate ways, figuring splitting up would result in more food.

The Allosaurus walked for about a half an hour before she found tracks, tracks made by something bigger than a whitetail.

"Oh man, Bison." Tesla grinned from ear to ear. The animals footprints littered a clear trail of dirt on the plain. "Fresh tracks too. Looks like we are eating good tonight." Tesla followed the prints till she came face to face with a whopping heard of bison. "Holy mushrooms." Stalking closer and closer, Tesla went into full predator mode, the thought of getting a fresh meal made her lick her chops at the sight of the wolly meat.

She had singled out her target, a bull bison that was strong and healthy, usually not the typical meal for a predator. But these herbivores weren't exactly from her time period and proved to be much less of a hassle to kill so a healthy adult male was like taking candy from a baby for the female allosaurus.

Creeping up on him, Tesla sprung out from the tall, sandy colored grass. The herd of bison fled, her particular target moving in the same direction as the others did. Tesla had a stroke of luck when the male stripped over a large rock, sending him face first into the ground. The predator easily caught up to her prey and the bison gave one last cry before death consumed him im the form of a mouth full of teeth.

It was around an 2 hours before Tesla ever got back to her and Nightshade's rendezvous spot. She had drug the bull the entirety of 5 miles back to this area. The muscles in her neck and back were aching. She was tired and exhausted and she was about 95% sure her jaw was going to fall off. When she arrived, Nightshade was waiting for her. With a huff she said hello.

"Well how do you do?" Tesla said a bit sarcasticly but with a friendly tone. She yanked the bull on last inch up the hill before laying down and dying internally for a moment.

Nightshade scanned the area for tracks after her and Tessa had split off, hah, buffalo. There was a rather large looking buffalo, that had been seperated from a herd somehow, despite it's size it appeared that much of it's muscle had died. It was probably an old bull and was no longer fast enough to keep up with the herd. Well, let's put it out of its misery I guess. Nightshade had no reason to sneak. She walked right up to it, the bull gave a worried look and started kicking about, it had been closed in, surrounded by rocks and Nightshade was blocking the only exit. With a quick swoop she chomped down on the bull's neck, its body quickly relaxing and falling limp. "Well, this should be plenty for tonight." She scooped up the bull, balancing it on her head/horns and began her way back to hers and Tessa's spot. Tessa was almost back too. She dropped down the buffalo and replied to Tessa " Well, I'm pretty good haha, it seems we shall dine tonight." She sat down and curved her large tail round to her side. Her stomach growled. "Time to eat I guess."

[I am assuming we are on the great plains of North America or at least the borders possibly around Yellowstone]

Fancy was stalking pronghorn deer she wasn't really bison hunting hungry, she was more bored than anything and a bit peckish... These little buggers were fast and fun to chase. She smelled two other dinosaurs in the area. But they weren't raptors and spoke a slightly different dilect. She could understand and be understood if things were said slowly. Fancy crouched down very close her tawny hide blending in and colorful crest flattened bright spots concealed. She only moved when the wind blew and she was down wind. She was almost on top of it... Proghorns were almost cheetah fast. They had fared surprisingly well compared to other comtemporary animals. They were too fast. They were on the border of Yellowstone National Park. It was actually very close to the climate of her natural time and she like the other utahraptors were very comfortable there. She hadn't seen any of her own kind in some time.

Closer, closer... Pounce! Fancy got lucky and managed to catch the deer with talons. The rest of the herd was long gone. Fancy tore into it eagerly these things had a sweet marbled meat that was a delicacy. She ate the whole thing in one sitting before walking off to sleep her meal off...

After her little moment of recollection, Tesla tore open into the buffalo's wolly hide and munched on the warm meat within the tissue. She looked to Nightshade, guts hanging out her slender mouth as she got ready say something.

"You know, I've never had buffalo before. And to be honest, it's not that bad. We should make this place our territory. I could get used to this view." The allosaurus said and she nodded her head while looking towards her carcass. Nightshade was happily eating away at her food too.

With a full stomach, Tess moved herself to sit on a small ledge over looking the plain. The land was fairly flat and it looked to be some sort of valley. There was patches of dense forest leading up to mountain peaks that surrounded the valley like kings gracing the land with their noble prescense. The female surveyed the area, trying to grasp what goes on here on a daily basis. For all Tess knew, Nightshade, at least she thought, was still behind her crunching on some buffalo yumminess.

The predator watched and watched, enjoying the time like it was tv. She had seen a herd of deer pass across the clear patch of land and then later a few wolves made their way into the woods. Tesla was sure they were tracking the deer's trail.

More time passed till Tesla yet again smelled the familiar smell of another predator in the area along with the faint scent of pronghorn deer. Tesla only knew the odor of various animals because she had been placed into many times hunting trials that she often won. The allosaurus raised her keen nose to the air and took a big whiff.

"Hey Nightshade." She called to the carnotuaurus. "We have a Utah".

Fancy actually saw the two predators from her location and sighed time to vanish... She was smaller than them and if she started up the mountain or went into denser undergrowth they shouldn't follow her lest they trip... Fancy trotted off deeper into the wilderness unless that bull T rex decided to do something stupid... She knew the rex personally and knew he was none too bright. It was rex mating season and he was being extra stupid. He didn't care if it was his own kind or not. He was going to try funny business if it was big enough... Joe was a moron... He'd been hit with something when he was little or so Kate had said... Some sort of poison... Good hunter but otherwise none too bright...

At least she wasn't big enough to attract his attention and he scared most larger dinosaurs off... Then something slammed into her and she rolled with it with a low yowl. It was a male utahraptor and he was angry about something. She stood up and said "What is your problem?" He hadn't been paying attention to her and she saw Joe lumbering after the male growling. Joe recognized her as a non threat from growing up around her but this male utahraptor didn't have familiarity as a protection. She watched him turn around and decide that there were two utahraptors so they could take on the rex... The male's crest was brighter and larger and he was an impressive specimen. Fancy said "That's Joe some human gave him something strange when he was little and he's none too bright... I can handle him." She stepped in front of the male and said "No, no, Joe go play it's alright." She was speaking rediculously slowly and the rex stopped sniffing around. It was clear he remembered Fancy and smelled something more interesting. He lumbered off in some other direction. The male utahraptor seemed impressed "How did you do that?" "I know him. Grew up together... I'm Fancy... You?" "King..." "Joe will get used to you eventually..." The two of them talked for a while going deeper into the undergrowth...

It's set some time in the distant future, the remaints of human destruction is crumbling and nature is beginning to reform the Earth and dinosaur's are back to rule it.

Human's brought dinosaur's back to life through many years of research, modifying and failed trails. These dinosaur's were brought by rich people who turned them in to beasts of battle. They modified their dinosaur's to be able to win in comabat, attaching metal claws, genetically modifying their genes so they would have sharper, longer teeth. All of these differences gave the dinosaurs advantages, but also weakness'. The metal claws rusted and eventually began to snap and the longer, sharper teeth were snapping and causing the dinosaurs pain. With every strength there is a weakness, always.

The humans fought these dinosaurs greedily, many didn't care what the dinosaurs felt. They rejected the ones who weren't strong enough, threw away the ones who could no longer fight, left behind those who could no longer walk.

The humans were soon to meet their fate. They placed so much time and money on 'improving' and 'developing' their world that no one payed attention to the very small amount of nature that remained. This in turn proved to be fatal. No one remembers exactly how the humans fought themselves to extinction, but they did and once again dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Are you ready to join this new world?

The plot explains it all.

No God-Modding It's really annoying.

No being inpolite! Characters can have conflicts between them but don't offend anyone personally and if they do not wish to be against you don't force them to be.

Stick to the rules of Exhibited! Obviously.

No being almighty and unbeatable, if you're particularily strong and have a high defence then you must be slow etc.

You may have modification's eg metal spikes but nothing like machine guns or lasers etc.

Try to be active!

Have fun! ^-^ Enjoy!
