 "What a beautiful day in the neighborhoooood.." A teal rump rolled back and forth mindlessly to the silent, ever-changing beat as the white half of the singing cheetah gave direction to the traveling body. Tempo wasn't exactly the feline's strong suit, but music was the form of self-expression he was the most comfortable with, much to the dismay of the other creatures that lived on the different layers of 'his' tree. One of the former residence called it a Baobab tree, (to him it sounded like gibberish, but it was more of a name than he had for it) the thick trunked tree with a moderate sized landing two or three cheetahs could move around in comfortably which branches grew up and around securing a sense of privacy.
This was his daily routine, every morning he awoke before sun woke the other critters in the tree and began his singing on the way to the stream a fair distance away. Sure it wasn't the most convenient commute but it gave the opportunity to sing freely without shaking the birds quite literally from their nests in the morning. It was quite the debacle for the first few months of calling the tree his own until this agreement was reached. The birds were the ones allowed to sing first in the mornings, but as luck would have it, he lived with the only birds in the whole of Africa that were late risers. Maybe they did it purely out of spite, but whatever the case the first thing Aqseu wanted to do in the morning was sing. Plus the distance gave him an excuse to run. Run from the wind, run to the grass, run up a tree that isn't his, run to jump over a rock twice his size, ect..
"All the other cubs with the bumped up kicks. Better run.. " The beat kicked up a notch suddenly when the wind picked up from the east, filling his nostril with the promise of a good race. "Faster than my bully." His posture straightened up as he waited for the 'go' signal which came in the flitter of a leaf across his nose. Aqseu took off at half-speed for the first leg of his journey, he was well over two miles from his tree, so he felt it was wise to save his energy for the last sprint. With extreme intensity, his pink eyes were fixed on his tree out in the distance and all he could hear was the sound of wind in his ears and the funky-quick beat in his head.

Conrad The Mighty sorry i took forever @_@ been so busey. .-. and sorry for a crappy post!  Inglor Telperiena happened to be sleeping in the tree that Aqseu happened to be racing off too. practically snoring, Inglor was in a nice blissful sleep after having come across this tree, he had decided to pass out for a bit as he noticed no one around. for a cheetah, he was actually very lazy and only used any energy when he was hungry, thirsty or needed to find a place to stay for a night or a nap. tail draped down and twitching about, it wouldn't be hard for anyone to see his bright pink and purple coat.

On the last leg of the race, Aqseu dropped the clutch and zoomed off at his top speed, that was until he noticed the purpley-pinkish pelt up high. The distraction caused him to screw-up the jump he had previously lined up for himself and caught the tree stump with his front paws, causing him to tumble and scream out profanities. Without thinking this would wake his intruder, he walked the rest of the way to the tree and began to slowly climb it with his paws still throbbing in pain. It was not the most pleasant of experiences, but it passed by quickly as he fondly remembered a story about a golden leopard cub sleeping in a den that belonged to three lions. He peaked over the top, just enough for his blaring white ears and soft pink eyes were visible.
"Hello... Are you dead?" He whispered as he examined the other cheetah, she (or so he assumed) had quite the lovely pelt. It was probably that measure which lulled him into a sense of security in place of panic or fear.

Inglor barely opened an eye when he heard Aqseu scream out profanities from missing the jump. not concerned in the lest, and closed his eye to go back to sleep. he did not expect to suddenly have Aqseu peak up at him and whisper at him. giving a big yawn, he then gave a heavy sigh as he opened them to see just ears and eyes staring at him. " i am quite alive i can assure you." giving another yawn, it was clear he was not quite fully awake. "and might i ask who you are? since you seem so concerned if i was dead." chuckling, he was a bit amused as he had anyone wake him up asking if he was dead. " i am Inglor by the way."

"Aqseu," He replied, bringing his head up higher. "This is my tree, I would hate to discard a dead body from my own home.." This time Aqseu's smile was clearly visible, he meant no harm and did certainly not enjoy the feeling of life ceasing beneath his jaws (nor the thought of cleaning up the mess after).
"But you don't have to leave in a hurry! It's been quite a while since I've had a guest." With this, the cheetah jumped up onto the main landing with a flash of bright aqua and a flashy smile to go along with it.
"What brings you to my tree anyways, if I may ask?" This Inglor could have been a nightcrawler, glowing in the night and sleeping in the day for all he knew.

Conrad The Mighty i am horrible for forgetting this .w.!!!!! "don't you worry i don't plan to run off anytime soon and you also wont have to worry about discarding my dead body since i am not dead. " chuckling, he stretched a bit and got even more comfortable in his spot he had rooted himself in. " i am way too lazy to leave this comfortable spot and i thought hey this tree looked rather nice which is why i ended up here." grinning it was clear he had no issues chit chatting and just relaxing it up. it was just his style to lay about and be a lazy bum. " what made you claim this tree? if i might ask." though to him it was clear why as it really was a nice spot to chill out at.

Aqseu smiled as he struggled to remember why exactly he had picked this particular tree.
"Well, one night while I was young there was a massive storm and I had been separated from my family for some time at this point and I was taking shelter under it's great branches but the waters were beginning to rise from the ground up. I thought the ground was melting so I began to climb towards the heavens. Once I got up here, the rain stopped and the bluest sky I'd ever seen emerged from behind the clouds. I thought I was closer to the spirits."
At the end of his little story he shook his head and laughed as he added. "Then I thought perhaps I could see my family from up here, but I never have. I'm sure they're just fine wherever they are."
samus x Totally guilty of the same. Sorry!
