Character Name: Tabi
Score: 4
RP Response: No response from anyone. Well, there were definitely voices around her... maybe she was too far away for anyone to hear. And she certainly couldn't see who she was near. From what she could hear, it seemed like some people were trying to escape, while others were desperately trying to piece together what had happened. Without the spearhead to look at, or even think about, Tabi began to laugh hysterically, then burst into tears. Just hours ago, minutes, really, before she'd been knocked out and captured, she had been thinking about how she'd wanted to go on more solo expeditions. And now, she wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to Tora. No. She couldn't let herself think that.

Character Name: Tabi
Score: 5 (woohoo!)
RP Response: Tabi curled up on herself, sobbing into the crook of her tail, from frustration, from exhaustion, confusion, amongst other things. At this point, she just wanted to go home - she just wanted to feel the warmth of the desert sun on her fur, explore the ruins she'd come to love like a second home. Whatever discovery they might make out here, was it worth being knocked out and put in a wooden cage, swinging an undetermined height above the forest floor?
Then she felt the patter of little feet on her arm. Sniffing, Tabi lifted her head up, squinting at the little bug on her arm. It was... cute. She laughed, letting it perch on her finger. "Thanks for coming in here to comfort me," she said, wiping her tears with the heel of her hand.

Character: Sierra
Current Score: 5----- BUGO time!
Response: After she’d called all the names she could think of she had to just sit and wait………..but at least she had company now………...but was anyone above her? She looked up to see if she should see anyone- and crawling along the branch her cage was suspended upon was one of those cute little bugs- she extended a claw into its path and it kept marching right on up follwoing up to perch on her head. SIerra couldn’t help the cute little giggle that escaped her as she tried to look up at the top of her head, but as she swivlled her ears she could feel it, resting in the center of her head.

Character: Alice Current Score: Not Rolling Response:  Alice raised an eyebrow. This Sierra person must still be a little bit out of it as they immediately started calling out peoples names instead of responding. At least they managed to catch her name was Alice. She honestly had no idea who any of those people are much less the group from her cart. In truth Alice had kept her head down and when she wasn't on the roof hung out in a corner bunk the whole ride there. Sorry. I never caught anyones name. I was in the middle cart but I kept to myself all trip. I don't think calling out names will do any good. Whoever put us up here made sure to spread out the groups. I'm sure everyone is here somewhere. She sighed. At least there sounds of hysteria in the background were starting to slow. She figured the drugs must be wearing off and people were coping. At least she wasn't feeling like she was dying anymore. Scared yes, dying no and.. worst case scenario.. she had wings and could slow her fall...

Character Name: Maarika Score: 4 RP Response: Maarika stared at the splinter and wanted to cry. Seriously, for the first time this whole trip, she wanted to cry. She had been emotionally hurt, she had been drugged and kidnapped... But the splinter was what brought her to the edge of tears, because it was the last straw in a series of shitty shorts. "Oh Nine Above, I am going to get a a gods damned INFECTION from this splinter, I just know it, and then I am going to lose this finger and it will make it hard for me to make my creations and I will lose my job..." She said. Well, practically wailed it, really, because she was at her wit's end.(WC: 117)

Character Name: Maarika Score: 5 - Insect Claim! RP Response:She let herself fall back to the floor of the cage, her back against the wood, and she gave in to the urge to cry. She huddled in on herself, sobbing softly now, her brown-black hair coming loose from the tails she wore it in, in straggles, to half drape over her face as her knees came up and her arms went around them. She pressed her face against her knees, and let loose, her entire body shaking softly from the force of her crying, even if she kept the volume down, trying not disturb anyone else... She had bothered enough people on this trip, she felt.(WC: 108 )

Character Name: Maarika Score: 1 (Reset!) RP Response:She had been crying for awhile, she really was not sure how long, when she felt the brush of something against her leg. She blinked a little, and lifted her head back up, looking around in confusion, and when the brushing sensation happened again, she looked down, next to her leg. She was very surprised to realize one of the insects that had been scurrying around on the trees had apparently taken an interest in her. She reached down, not thinking about her injured finger, and tried to coax the pretty pink insect onto her hand. It looked at her for a moment, antennae waggling about, then climbed up... and used it's slender legs to remove the splinter, to her surprise. It turned around, and settled onto her hand, leaving her laughing but also a few more tears leaking out... At the kindness of a strange but sweet little insect.(WC: 150)

Character Name: Marolyn
Score: 4
RP Response:
She could hear people calling for their friends or acquaintances from the carriage rides and expeditions. As expected, her name wasn't on the list. The singing had stopped and most of the crying had stopped. Wait. . .was someone over there chewing on their cage?
Rubbing a hand over her eyes, clearly she was seeing things, she called out again.
"Is there anyone in the cage over there? Now might not be the best time to be taking a nap!" Of course, now that she wasn't paying attention to the little buggers, there was one of the leaf creatures scuttling toward her.

Aritao slowly paced in front of the cages, throwing disgusted looks at the captives whenever they made a noise or movement. Her tail flicked behind her, showing the irritation that barely passed over her cold face.
"We have had them for weeks, Lightspirit," she finally spoke, her piercing eyes settling on her trusted shaman. "You say they are more than beasts, but how easily they submit to their cages." The warrior finally stopped pacing, standing tall in front of the caged Dr. Horn. "Pathetic," she hissed.
"Pathetic or not, they are not the same as the game we usually hunt," Pakaha said. The shaman stood a little ways back, watching Aritoa's movements with cautious patience. In his right hand he held an ornate staff, adorned with feathers and a canine skull. He planted it in the earth in front of him and leaned into it.
"I've seen how they behave," he pressed. "Even though they walk on two legs..."
Aritao turned quickly, clenching her fists as she strode over to her shaman. "Do you forget the two-legged plagued ones? The respected leader who banished them?" She stared into his eyes for a moment, her expression quickly softening. "You told me that story, Lightspirit. They were weak... sickly." Her posture loosened slightly as she walked back to the cages.
"What do you propose, my friend?" She asked with a troubled sigh. If she engaged with these new creatures, she would be going against the word of their beloved heroes of old. Who would follow her then?
Pakaha edged up from behind the warchief. Where Aritao's every movement was laced with tension, Pakaha appeared serene and untroubled. Only his gaze, lingering on the slumped, battered figures within the cages, betrayed any sense of doubt. He turned his eyes back on Aritao.
"You could give them an opportunity to prove themselves. Show their worth," Pakaha offered, keeping his tone light. He placed a hand on warchief's shoulder and spoke more quietly. "We do not forget the past, but we bear the responsibility of the future, Strongback. Anyway, they might be... more than they appear."
As he bowed his head to Aritao, he glanced towards Dr. Horn's cage out of the corner of his eye. The warrior instinctively twitched away from the voice behind her, but her breathing became more steady and her fists unclenched as she listened to his soothing tones. She stood still for a few moments, staring at their prey. "Tch," she scoffed, shrugging away Pakaha's hand as she turned to face him.
"Very well, Lightspirit, we shall test them," she agreed, a small smirk playing on her lips. "The herd could use a proper hunt." She gripped the hilt of one of the many blades belted around her waist, slowly striding towards the clearing below their hanging captives. "The first ones stay - they're far too weak to provide any amount of challenge. Besides," she added, turning to c**k an eyebrow to her shaman, "if you're right - if the others manage to escape - we'll need something for our feast."
For the first time, Pakaha appeared vexed--maybe even a little annoyed. His expression smoothed out by the time Aritao looked back at him however. "Very pragmatic. You are as just as you are wise," he said without sarcasm. "Should I rally the others?"
Aritao narrowed her eyes slightly at his... genuine... praise. "We do not need to be wise, Lightspirit, we need to be strong." She knew as she said it that the phrase made her seem childish, but the thought of stamping all over the graves of her ancestor's beliefs had shaken her.
"Rally indeed. We hunt."
Please proceed to The Hunt activity thread! Roleplay is open here for those who are captured.

 Character: Clare
Response: As soon as the cage doors opened, Clare lifted herself out and glared at the centaur leader. "Where is Peter?" She demanded, so caught up in the moment that she didn't realise the danger she's in. "Where is Dr. Horn? I refuse to believe he's dead! He can't be..." she trailed off, fighting back tears. Aritao simply stares at her in disgust before turning away, joining her hunters. Startled by her indifference, Clare began to stride towards her before being quickly lifted off her feet by one of the warriors. "What? Hey! Put me down!" She snarled as the chuckling centaur dragged her to the other side of the clearing. She was thrown unceremoniously into the large group cage, the door slamming behind her. Quickly turning back to the group of centaurs, she stared in shock as her team began to be pursued.
Nearly collapsing from shock, Clare simply stared at their captors. "C-Clare...?" She froze when she heard the voice behind her. Trembling, Clare turned to face her fellow captors and... "Peter!" She exclaimed, instinctively embracing the scholar. "Peter, Peter... I thought you were dead!" Tears streaming down her face, she holds onto him as if he might disappear if she lets him go. "Clare..." He says again softly, with a hint of pain in his voice. With a small 'sorry' she lets him go, holding his arms and looking him over. "Peter... you..." she says softly. The scholar is sporting a black eye and is covered in bruises with at least one broken leg. Gasping softly she let him go, biting her lip. "What... what's going on?" She asks softly.
Clare is always available if you have information or questions !

Character: Latros
Response: Latros zipped through the foliage as fast as they could, smirking as their captors were able to nimbly keep up. This wasn't surprising, as they had the hometown advantage. They were suprised that the extra legs didn't seem to slow them down though. Still gross.
At least their twin was keeping pace, Latros would have been disappointed if either of them took the lead over the other.
Eventually the centaurs started to overtake them, and try to cut them off. The twins were pretty good at seeing them coming and dodging, but it was funny to watch these quads try their hardest to catch them. A cluster of foliage was the perfect cover for an ambush, and Latros only realized too late as they glanced over at their twin; a centaur stepped out from behind the cover and brandished their weapons.
Latros could have stopped, but ended up plowing right into the centaur, not quite knocking them over but definitely staggering them. It was the small victories that mattered, really. Flopping over onto their back as the warriors surrounded them and pointed various weapons down at their prone form, they could only pant and giggle at the outcome. "Whoo! That was a good workout. Gimme a few minutes and I'll be ready for another round."
The centaurs didn't seem to care, and unceremoniously hoisted them up and started carrying them off. Latros was still a bit out of breath, but not quite enough as it were. "Are we having dinner first? Have you guys figured out how to start fires yet? I don't like cold food y'know."
