Character Name: Alice
RP Response:

Alice awoke with a sensation like she had run into a brick wall. The last thing she remembered was wandering through the meadows. It took her a moment to realize where she was. A sudden panic took over as the became increasingly aware of the fact she was suspended in the air. Normally didn't mind heights when she could see the ground but there was clearly no ground to see. Looking up she saw a small army of bugs crawling in the trees above her head. Alice slunk down trying to put as much distance between herself and the creatures as possible. Why did it have to be bugs. Her mind was racing as almost as fast as her heart. This only worsened when she reached her bag but was nowhere to be found. Her supplies, her phone, and .. oh my god her fathers book! She was almost in tears. Unfortunately she failed to notice her fellow travelers in the cages around her. Alice gripped tightly to the bars of the wooden cage as if she let go she would fall to her doom. She never should've come here now she's trapped and alone and probably going to starve.

((Alice could use someone to calm her. Halp)))

Character Name: Maarika
Score: 0
RP Response:
After a moment of sitting in silence, recovering from the urge to dry heave, Maarika looked around, trying to get an idea of who all was here... Had everyone been captured? Were the very people they had been seeking been captured as well? She could not tell, because there were so many cages and she could not see them all. She took a slow, deep breath, shifting until she was kneeling. Maybe if she worked her way up, slowly, she would be able to stand. She wanted to see how these cages locked. Was it a metal lock, or was it something else? Her eyes focused on that.

RP Response:
Maarika finally managed to reach her feet, and stood, clinging to the wooden bars of the cage, eyes closed, because even though she had managed to make it upright under her own power, the world was, once again, spinning. She had to take several slow, deep breaths, because she really did not want to cause herself more problems then she was already having. It took several minutes of standing there before she felt she was able to open her eyes again. She hissed softly, wishing she had had stronger protective jewelry on when she had left, and began to examine the door of the cage, trying to work out how it locked.

Character: Lycos
Score: 0
Response: Upon stirring, Lycos already felt far too constricted. the cold, hard bottom of the cage gave no grip, and when they tried to sit up, they felt far too dizzy for their own good. Their eyes still swam with disturbing imagery, but they were...

...They were alone.

"Latros...?" Their voice was quiet.

"L...Latros...?!" It was raised.

"Latros!?!!" The panic set in the moment they heard, but could not see, their twin. Calling out Latros' name slowly delved into simply screaming almost unintelligibly, and it only was cut short by a squeak of terror as a particularly horrifying creature passed by their line of sight.

Rp Response: He'd been reading the piece of paper he'd found within the woods, the large bird still perched on the skull at his shoulder, when the avian began to unfurl its wings and screech.

The warning came too late--Cian barely turned when sharp pain bloomed in his neck. He stumbled, trying to shake it off, but whatever he'd been hit with worked all the quicker to dull his senses. It was a sharp strike to the back of his head that sent him heavy to the ground.

Waking up in a cage was the first of such an experience, to be sure. That there was the large bird haphazardly in his lap, squaking and lashing its wings around in the close quarters as it came about, only added to his ire. "Enough," he snarled, catching the great bird's wings close to its body, using his immense claws to further restrain the creature as it thrashed in his grip. Its beak peirced the skin on his fingers and he grit his teeth as blood oozed from where the creature tore up flesh. "Enough," he said again, drawing himself slowly onto his knees. The cage was... small, but he could somewhat stand if he. Crouched. Bent over. Okay so he couldn't stand but still. He could manover. He set the paniced bird onto the ground of the cage, letting it fumble around till it got its feet beneath it and no longer needed to thrash its wings to mantain some balance.

"I like this no more than you," he told the distressed avian as it pecked at the wooden bars of their confinement. It was then he looked down at himself and realized... he had no armor. "What the..." A broad chest was bare and exposed, streaks of scar tissue mixing over pale skin and places where dark fur errupted. The dark tendrils that ghosted from his forearms and shins flared suddenly in his anger. No weapons, no supplies, no armor... He at least had his breeches.

Not far from him, he could see other cages swinging, suspended. In one near him, a small figure (Lycos) screamed and Cian flinched at the piercing sound. They'd been calling for another, that much he'd gathered. Hadn't he seen them in the caravan? Bouncing around while he'd tried to meditate atop one of the carrages? "Hey, fox spider," he called, keeping his voice even and lower, attempting to draw the panicked kid's attention to him. "Take deep, slow breaths, alright? Try to focus on me, and your breathing."

Response:
"A doc you say?" Lupe twirled the stick that he was holding in his hand. "Nice to meet you, Devon. I can call you that right? Or would you rather be called Doc. Doctor Holloway?" Nah, he didn't like the sound of the latter. It was too..formal. Blech.

He stared at the little buggy that was in front of him. Not an alien? "What a shame." Mao was going to be disappointed. And disgusted. If Mao was even around here. Dieties, he hoped he was safe. Safe and far away from here. Not...dead. He gulped, closing his eyes and hitting his head against the bars.

Ow. That only made his headache worse! Stupid..situation. "The name's 'Lupe!" He smirked. "I'm alive, got a bit of a headache but it's nothin' a few aspirin's can't take care of." He just had to get his hand on it. "Ya don't happen to know how to get out do ya? Do ya have some on ya?"

He heard a commotion across from him, and his eyes immediately tried to pinpoint the source. It was...well. It was a big guy. "Hey, big ol' fella over there with....the bird." he waved his hands as wide as he could. "Think ya can break out of these cages? You look big and strong."

Rp Response: From amongst the other cages, Cian caught a voice (Latros) calling out Lycos. Coincidence that it sounded similar to the name the panicked kid near him had called? Possibly. He watched them (Lycos) in silence for a moment, to see if they would respond to the potential sibling's call.

Beside him, the long-tailed bird continued to peck and scratch at the wooden bars, and Cian eyed them himself against his claws and the dense muscles in his arms. But then his eyes went down, past the feeble floor of the cage. Down, down, down to the interwoven branches of the canopy they sat within. He couldn't even determine how high up he was.

Well that made things more problematic.

His ears twitched, another voice ringing out. Golden eyes swerved, slowly locating the vibrant blue nixie (Guadalupe) that was waving his hands. He considered the question before giving a grunt and a scowl formed on his face. "Likely. However, I'm not capable of flight." He pointed down. "I can't see the forest floor through the branches beneath us. They don't look promising to hold much weight, and I'd rather not crash through all of them only to find myself far above the ground."

He grimaced at the thought. It was one thing to get broken bones from a fight, or unescapable events. But something like that? He could hear Briala's laughter all the way from Wolf's Breach even now, and winced.
