"Huff...good plan," Lyla said...as she rolled like a cat, turned...and grabbed Shukaku's tail in a grip! "But there is a reason why I told you to jump."hypernovatic wrote:Shukaku widened his eyes as Lyla charged at him. He decided not to risk jumping over her in case he failed, so he rolled to the side, tripping the hyena as she ran past.

Two figures approached from the beach. One, a human, was none other than Mr. Richard Spencers, all formally dressed up in spite of the heat. "Welcome aboard my humble dominion, gentlefurs and gentlemen. I confide you had a good trip." He extened a hand to gently take the woman's and kiss it gallantly with a bow. The sun reflected on a dog tag hanging from his wrist. The dog tag read "USELESS".Hlaoroo wrote:"Thank you muchly. No medical assistance needed. I'm a better flier than that." he jokes, bringing the plane to rest beside the pier. As it bobs gently in the waves, he runs through a checklist.
"Carburetor cold, flaps up, transponder standby, electrical off, magnetos off, throttle idle, mixture idle, ignition off, master off, control lock on, fuel check, flight plan closed and we are good." Once his propellor has stopped and his checklist is done, the pilot exits the aircraft through his door and makes sure he's satisfied that the ground crew have secured the plane to the pier. He then opens the passenger door in the rear and invites his passengers to disembark via the ladder built into the plane's rear strut, the same way they entered the aircraft before standing aside to do his paperwork and to let the ground crew assist the passengers, starting with the honeymooning couple, followed by the cats and then their owners. From the strut it's a simple matter to step to the pier, just like stepping off a boat.
"Finally! Ve are here!"
"Oof. Is hot." exclaims Aleksandr as the air-conditioning gives way to the heat of the day as he springs lightly from the plane to the pier followed by his sister who concurs with his assessment as she adjusts her dark glasses. Next to disembark is Ilya who pauses on the strut to help his wife down as she takes each step slowly, careful not to overbalance.
Once the family are assembled on the ground they move away from the plane, pausing to gaze up at the mountain dominating the island before turning to the ground crew for instructions.
The other figure was...a male grizzly bear. A fully-grown adult, who was pushing a wheelchair that in comparison looked like a dolly toy.
Spencers indicated the wheelchair. "Madame, please sit down. Everything is ready for your best accommodation." He then turned to the cats. Aleksandr and Dinara, I guess. "Я уверен, вы будете приятно провести время, здесь." (I am sure you will have a wonderful time, here.) "And please, forgive my terrible accent." He extended his hand for a shake.

"Dragon Nectar," said the tiny Hubert appearing over Donau. "Admittedly, a classy and a most generous and rare gift." He eyed the bottles with a sparkle of avidity. "So long since I could taste such a delicacy."
Donau chuckled. "A side of you we never got to know."
The tiny dragon made a snobbish expression as he *hrrumph*ed. "That is because you never offered me dragon nectar."
The rabbit shook his head then turned to Anubis. "I am truly sorry for scaring you, earlier. I...am a carnivore in this condition, but I would never do you or these good creatures any harm."

"Much better. I appreciate how fast you learn. Now, tell me, what do you know of the enclaves of the Green Ring Forest?"kurowolfe wrote:Haq looked at the Hunter's wistful expression, offering a small smile of his own.
"Ai anderstand," he said. "We will start wit wan hut first, forr us."
The wolf scanned the area again, a little slower and deliberate this time, and spotted an area that was flat and clear of any signs of ruins or bones. He closed his eyes tightly and imagined the design of a hut with a base of boulders, walls made from wooden logs with holes for two windows and a doorway, and a roof made from grass weaved around a base of large twigs. He opened his eyes with a sigh, and addressed the village's resident spirits again.
"Everyone, I am sorry for not being respectful of your past livelihood. Now I have a new plan for just one hut, as the base of our new enclave. Return anything not used back to its position, and collect only wood, grass and stones. Arrange them in my mind's image and strengthen their bonds into a sturdy home. Go!"
With that, he turned his attention back to the Hunter. "Is dis better?"

The pulsing orb easily passed through the flesh....but it didn't pass through the chest. Instead, it entered Flint's paws and for a moment the canine's limbs became translucid, shining with light, before the light focused on his claws.Roarin wrote:Flint raised an eyebrow as he watched the others two react to absorbing/ingesting of the strange spirit. Seeing no real I'll side-effects the canine places his against his heart and closes his eyes. "Alright, let's see about this..."
"Dexterity, heart and soul. Mostly interesting, the Martians seems to know you already," The God said. "Do not question now, do not debate, do not hesistate. You have accepted them, you have saved a species. You did well and good things will come to you for this." He bowed his head thanks, his crest of stellar gases floating with fiery lights.

Janus lit up. "Sure!" He handed out the parchment.xhunterko wrote:Khun waved to Janus, then pointed at the paper under his arm.
"May I?" Khun asked, then he turned to the ferret and waved to him as well, then back to Janus.
