"I don't think I've seen that one..."
"I have - it's your turn, Snowy - I saw it when they showed it at the drive-in, remember? That was right before that bushfire came through."
"Ah, yes. Of course. I was with Kate that night so I didn't go. We're six human years old, by the way, Met. How old are you?"

Sat Oct 19, 2013 2:14 am

"I'm 7 human years," the lion answered. "and I actually made an appearance in that movie. It was my only role besides being an extra in the first Pridelands movie."

"No! Way! That was you? Wow! I'm in the presence of a celebrity! You know, that was quite a powerful roar you had!"
"Now "Pridelands" I did see." says Joey before thinking for a few moments. "Were you the lion who got knocked into the river? That was hilarious!"

Sat Oct 19, 2013 2:05 pm

"Thanks, I've always had a powerful roar. I just wish I could stop using it when I get excited, It tends to scare people," Met replied. "And no, I didn't really do anything memorable in Pridelands. I only got the part cause the director was a student of my dad's, so I only played 'unnamed lion #5'."

"Apologies." The wolf says, sounding earnestly sorry. But changing the subject.
"So, Houston. What brings you to Exotic Acres? Parent's job? Witness protection?" He asked.

"I'm an outlaw... (puts on goggles).... Just kidding... (Takes them off.) I came here because I need a social life. Plus it's partly due to my Dad's change in job. In fact he was flying a plane to his job earlier and I just jumped out of it on my way here.

"I can see why it would scare people!" Jake quickly blushes.
"I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean, you're not, uh, I mean..." he fumbles while Joey looks on in silent mirth.

"So Marro, have you made a lot of friends here? How many pets will be attending your party?"

WolvenPaw15 · Post by **WolvenPaw15** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 6:26 pm

Marro thinks a bit and hums "You, Chem, me... and who ever else is interested in a store like that, as long as they are nice, as my mom says, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" he gives a slight smile, tail still swaying

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 8:26 pm

"I say we all go explore the town and meet other pets. I still think there is time left today to make some new friends."

Roarin · Post by **Roarin** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:27 am

Alchemy nods in agreement.
"Sounds good." He himself wasn't so much thrilled about the "making friends" part. As of today he already greatly surpassed the amount of people/pets he usually interacts with on a daily basis. But it would be a great opportunity to map out the rest of the town.

"Wanna race to the town?"

WolvenPaw15 · Post by **WolvenPaw15** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 6:24 pm

Marro shakes his head "As fun as that sounds, I'm not that athletic" he shrugs a bit, his hands resting on his hips as he looked around a bit, his ears flicking they rang

".... You two don't seem that fit. Which is precisely why you two should be racing! C'mon your both wolves, go for it."

Roarin · Post by **Roarin** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 1:32 pm

"Don't see any reason why not." Alec obliged. He nodded, agreeing to the race. The wolf hadn't been in many races, but he was no stranger to running, his limber build standing proof for it.
"Will try my best. But apologies if I may lose by a substantial value." He was pretty fast, but the lack of any wings put him at a great calculated disadvantage.

WolvenPaw15 · Post by **WolvenPaw15** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 5:22 pm

Marro hmms and shrugs "I see no harm in it I suppose, it might be a bit of fun" he chuckles and hops back and forth between his paws, limbering himself up a bit

"Alright then, since I can fly, I will judge the race. I will observe you guys in case you are going in the wrong direction to town. Ready?"

"Don't worry, I understand," Met replied. "It's one of the reasons my dad chose to move here. We figured It wouldn't be as threatening with a lot of othe big cats around."

After waiting a very long while for the wolves to reply, Houston starts to worry.

"Are you guys okay? Maybe you guys need to see a vet later."

Jake watches Snowy having a turn and bowling a spare with 9 pins.
"Oh, I- I didn't mean to imply- er.. I meant er... I'm just goign to shut up now. Oh, look, it's my turn anyway." Jake retrieves his ball as the screen flashes for the last round of the match. 3 throws and two strikes later he has a final score of 130. Joey heads up for his turn and finishes with a score of 97.
"Bah! I let you win!"
"Yeah, sure you did. Just like you always do."
"Well I know how much you'll sulk if I don't."
"Me? Sulk? Look who's talking?" The two kangaroos look each other in the eye and slowly begin smirking, trying to hold back the grins which spread across their faces. Before long they both begin laughing.
"Argh! Now that's one thing I can never beat you at!"
"He can never keep a straight face when I look at him like that." explains Joey.

"Mental preparation. Haven't ran for a few days." Alchemy assured Houston.
"Sorry. Ready now." He took a crouched stance, recalling what he remembered from track racing.

WolvenPaw15 · Post by **WolvenPaw15** » Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:04 pm

Marro nodded and crouched to a starting position, like he had seen on t.v. getting ready to give it his all, he didn't think he would win, not in the slightest, but again, there was no harm in trying after all, the air felt good, and so did he "I suppose I'll do my best" he smiled softly

"So It's my turn now, right?" Met asked, having lost track of the turn order

Houston flies up to initiate the race.

"On your marks..... Get set...... GOOOO!!!!!"

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Nov 23, 2013 3:05 am

"Yes. Your turn. Should be the final turn of the game too." answers Joey.

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Wed Nov 27, 2013 9:10 pm

Houston pushes forward to get a good glimpse of the forest.

"Alright," Met said as he grabbed his ball. He bowled a strike and a spare, ending with a score of 100. "I usually get at least 200 in Wii bowling. Guess the real deal really is hard."

At the sound of Houston's mark to begin Alchemy dug his feet into the ground and took off through the forest.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 4:20 am

The two kangaroos glance at each other puzzled.
"You... bowl with urine?" Jake queries incredulously.

Fri Nov 29, 2013 1:50 am

"What? no. It's a video game," Met said. "You've never heard of the Nintendo Wii?"

WolvenPaw15 · Post by **WolvenPaw15** » Sat Nov 30, 2013 12:10 am

Marro leaned his body forward and bolted right behind Chem, his weight pulling him forward and giving him a small boost in his speed, only able to keep an even pace with the wolf next to him "Hehe looks like we're evenly matched, though, it might come down to stamina" he gave a slight grin

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Sat Nov 30, 2013 2:13 am

Houston flew ahead of the two wolves and over the forest to get a good view. He is caught by surprise when he hears the sound of a flute playing "Well well, it seems we have musical talent in Exotic Acres. I wonder what could be playing that melody" Houston flies off to look for the sound while maintaining a look out for the two wolves.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 10, 2013 6:09 pm

The roos look at each other again.
"No."
"Never."
"Waking up in the zoo was our first contact with the human world."
"We barely even know what a video game is."
"We only know about bowling because it's quite similar to a game we've played back home with smooth, rounded riverstones and sticks in the mud."
"Took us ages to work out how to use this... thingy." Joey gestures to the panel of buttons which controls the display on the overhead TV screen.

Thu Dec 12, 2013 4:12 am

"huh? guess I'll have to make it a point to show you guys video games sometime," Met said, scratching his head.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Dec 12, 2013 5:24 am

"That would be fun, as long as Harry lets us go."
"Yeah... Are they popular, video games? Also, what shall we do now that we've finished our game?"

Chem gives a grunt in agreement, reserving his air for breathing. He was already getting pretty tired He glanced over at Marro before digging in his heels and speeding up slightly.

Marro grunted back and picked up the speed with Chem, but it wasn't enough, keeping him just a step behind his friend, giving a pant every now and then as his energy slowly drained

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Tue Dec 17, 2013 2:44 am

"Aw, I thought those wolves would've had more stamina. I also can't find out where the sound is coming from. I think I'll just head back to the wolves."

Houston spirals and turns to the direction of the wolves.

Namine decided to go somewhere else, so she went outside and walked for a while. She then came upon a bowling alley. She went inside and saw two kangaroos and a lion talking. Namine walked up to them. "Hello." she greeted.
