It was midday, that meant it was time for a nap on his favorite spot on the mountain. A large, mostly flat, rock that was big enough to accommodate his size. A brief yawn escape the beast as he lumbered along, tail flicking back and forth as he did. Other monsters of sorts were about doing their own things, as was normal, but he didn't care too much to be a part of it.
Morning meals went out and that always left him rather placated and ready for the equivalent to sunbathing. It just meant getting there. Round an outcropping, round a hill, and-
Ah yes, that's the spot. What might have been a smile attempted to curl along his face, which came out more as a snarl to anyone looking as he practically pranced up and flopped down as an audible thud. His spot. His. No one could have it. Perfect for curling up and dozing on.(( If you need someone to hang with feel free to bother Fluffy. He's mostly harmless. )) Quote: Name: Fluffy Species: Cerberus Physical Description: Large wild looking black dog. On all fours comes to around the shoulder height of an average to tall height of a man. Built like a truck. Singled headed and perhaps a bit small for his species, but that makes him more 'manageable' for staff. Brief Character Profile: Doesn't care much about anything as long as you don't take what's his. If you try, expect that guard dog nature of his to kick in. He's very 'chill' and domesticated. Not really mean, just sort of aloof at times.

His head swiveled towards where Fluffy had flopped. A low audible hiss and a flick of the tongue. [I see the runt of the litter has come to join us. Are you planning on being noisy like the rest of this lot or might I get some semblance of quiet?] Francis laid his large head down on top of his front feet. His teeth clacking in his jaw as he stared intently at the pup nearby. He wasn't too sure what Fluffy's deal was as he really looked like one of those overgrown things the squishy people had. Only well bigger. Perhaps they had bigger ones for other places. Had he been a bad puppy? Or was he a spy? Francis narrowed his eyes in quiet contemplation as another hiss escaped from between his clenched jaw. Quote: Name: Francis Species: Basilisk Physical Description: This only black with bright gold eyes. Brief Character Profile: Francis is a bit grumpy half the time. Probably cause he's always sleepy for some reason. He enjoys a good staring contest though for some reason all his opponents just shrivel away suddenly. He spends most of his time near the crater lake basking in the sunlight on his favorite rock.

Noisy. The folks were ever so noisy, not that he couldn't drown it out with a nap. Until something was directed at him, causing one soot black eye to open and look for the source. It soon found the equally dark creature as he lifted his head a bit, the young Cerberus merely giving the Basilisk a stare.
[If my sleeping is noisy you're non-existant ears are better than mine.] Was the bit of a grumble that was returned as he rolled his shoulders a bit once more trying to find 'the spot' that was best for napping. [Ain't a runt though.] He added, knowing full well he wasn't full grown. Or at least something in him told him that. He still found himself getting bigger. Likely his lack of age was to ensure he was easily controlled before he got bigger. Not that he knew of it. He was still a rather formidable bulky beast of a canine in his own mind.
Last human than tried to take his food had nearly lost an arm when he snapped at them. [If you insist on rattling about that though, I could make some noise for ya.] He added, at that point giving the creature a bit of a look and barking in response. If nothing else, the overgrown mutt was good at making a racket if he had reason for it.Quote: Name: Fluffy Species: Cerberus Physical Description: Large wild looking black dog.

<Then that is selfish.> Argos retorted haughtily, snapping his teeth in Indira's direction. The statement was a hypocritical one, but then, Argos was not about to deny being hypocritical in the least. <Perhaps I should find some tiny annoyances to bother you to share my pain.>
When Kip spoke again, the red dragon lifted his head, embers flickering between the sharp white fangs. The harpy had been a constant thorn in his side since his inception, and he could not quite put together a reason for why he had not eaten him yet. He was just that annoying. <You make a good snack.> To prove this point, he let his tongue loll out and catch a passing bird in mid-flight, swallowing it feathers and all before exhaling a flame-streaked sigh.
<I would hunt more if there was anything in this infernal place to hunt.> He sneered in disdain, slamming his tail into the ground and leaving deep scars in the earth. <No meat, no prey. I will catch you though, if you insinuate anymore of my lack of talent, birdbrain.>
The dragon sighed at the comment, flicking his tail back and forth in a nearly languid sort of manner. <Than you are useless. Continue preening, bird, if it is the only thing you are capable of.> His lips curled back in response to the gnarled Desert Dragon, breathing flames at him lazily. <Does it take much concentration to sit on a stone and stare into the sun?>
His attention turned easily back to Banshee, watching as the smaller dragon let herself be slowly consumed by the gelatinous monstrosity. He seemed indifferent, and even disdainful to her cause as she insisted on her not being prey. Steam bellowed from his nostrils, and when the words were sent only to his head, he sighed, his body pushing upwards into a standing position. His long talons left grooves in the dirt as he moved over to Banshee, wings flaring up in irritation at Bubbles. <Eat the harpy if you are so hungry.> He told the creature shortly, breathing burning embers in its direction with irritation. His lips curled at Kips display of heroics, and he slammed his tail into the ground.
<Move. You are all useless.>
Without waiting for anyone to scurry out of the way, he leaned over Banshee, opening his maw and sinking his mouth into the flesh around her neck. It was a gentle, yet firm grip. Nearly the way a cat would carry a kitten. With a grunt, he tugged, pulling her out from Bubbles gelatinous mass.
Setting her down a few safe yards away, Argos released her and sneered, curling his upper lip and sitting back on his haunches to toss his head, even though he settled down enough so that Kip could land again if he dared.
<Useless.>ANYONE ELSE THAT IS AROUND

Lifting his head, Francis bobbed it a couple of times. Turning his head side to side and every which way to eyeball Fluffy with each eye individually. It was a fairly bird like act if one were to compare. A mental smirk as the Cerberus barked for emphasis. [Sadly I do have ears, just not visible to you. Otherwise I would be quite content on my rock.] By now he was more awake so the gripes about silence now were perhaps moot. He did not care. It was the others who had spoiled it anyway. Francis had to admit though he had no clue about the physiology of Fluffy's species, let alone his own. He too knew he was not old but he wasn't a hatchling either. His attention was drawn only for a moment to the spectical going on by the jelly cube. [Good luck on a nap my friend. It seems the dragons are out to draw some keeper attention.] He tapped two sets of claws on the warm rock beneath him before scraping them against it's hard surface.

:Really?: He asked, looking over himself and giving it some real thought. :Wait--did you not just say I would taste bad? Is Argos getting senile and forgeti---:
The harpy watched as the bird was snatched from the air.
:Hey! Hey!: Kip dove down, flying around the red dragon's head like a pesky mosquito. :You didn't share! Greedy! Stupid! Stupid Argos! Share!:
This continued on until he finally gave up, realizing the bird was long gone, heading directly for the red dragon's stomach. So instead, the harpy flew back up into the trees and perched on a branch, glaring down at them all.
:Says the lazy lizard.: If he had arms, he would have crossed them. Instead, his feathers puffed up, showing his annoyance. :Why should I have to dive into a squishy cube and for someone who can't keep out of it in the first place?: He countered. Waiting until the red dragon was doing with his rescue, before he did indeed, land on his horn again.Quote: Name: Kipper "Kip"
Species: Harpy ( male )
Physical Description: here
Brief Character Profile: A s**t disturber. Kip loves to piss off/pester/annoy both creatures and humans alike and will do it in whatever way he can. Whether its swooping down at them, sitting perched on their backs, clawing them, and more, he'll do it. pretty much everyone here XD SRSLY, I'm just too lazy to make a quote wall lol.

Caesar looked genuinely disappointed, shoulder deep in the gelatinous cube, to have his attempt at rescue be stolen away. Was... helping..His face fell, like a kicked puppy, and he removed his arm from Bubbles with a -schlooooorp- suction sound. Quote:  Name: Caesar Species: Bigfoot Physical Description: He's a bigfoot.

He's a bit shy with new people and has been working on being a productive (openly viewed) monster on the island. He's not fond of flash photography sad

Gemma watched the airlift, impressed, but when Caesar's face fell she turned and slapped him heartily on the back. Very heartily indeed. Probably stagger-level heartily. < You helped. Very brave, > she assured him.
Kip and Argos were at it again. Gemma padded over to the nearest tree and heaved herself up on it. This tree was her favorite; though she didn't know it, it was reinforced with concrete to hold her weight. All she knew was it was the one that didn't fall over when she climbed it. She curled her stubby claws around the biggest branch and looked down on everyone, grinning.
< Entertainment. Get pop-corn. > She knew what that was, at least. The keepers sometimes had some, and she listened to them. Maybe more than they thought she did.Quote: Name: Gemma  Species: Gargoyle Physical Description: A big stone gargoyle, solidly built, with jet black eyes and moss/lichen 'hair'.

She is loud and boisterous and finds standing perfectly still, as most gargoyles must, to be a bit of a chore. Direct sunlight fries her brain somewhat.

[Well... I knew that.] He quickly stated at the creatures bit about it's ears, shifting to sit up and puff up his chest a bit. Because he did. Really. They just weren't as easy to see. ...and maybe he wasn't just trying to cover for himself. It was hard to say. He flicked an ear at the sound of the clicks as he digested the bit about the dragons.
Sure, they were always noisy. Nothing a good dream didn't usually drown out. As for the jelly cube, well... honestly if it ate someone he didn't care. Wasn't him, wasn't his food, not his problem. Now if it came over there...
[Then ignore 'em.] He stated simply, glancing off in the direction of the noise. He knew better than to try and get attention, last time he did they thought he was acting out or something. Taken off somewhere and... [If it's trouble they get into then they won't be napping in peace.] He'd rather not deal with the ire of the humans. It never worked out from what watching told him. Still, he was a bit curious. [They piping about anything that matters?] Because frankly, he hadn't been paying any attention. For now the basilisk had his attention, until he found out it was likely nonsense.

Brave Caesar felt his actions were valuable only when he heard it from another's mouth. Gemma was always nice enough to him. He believed her. It brought a slow smile to his face and he made one of his rare sounds, "Huh..huh.." A deep slow sort of laugh.  The bigfoot loped to the base of the Gargoyle's tree and stood, idly picking at the bark a moment in distraction and nipping a bug off of his finger. At the mention of popcorn he stared dumbly, blinked his honey brown eyes, and then slow realization sunk in. Caesar seemed to think very hard for a moment and then shambled into the bushes to return with a wide looking leaf piled high with berries. No popcorn. But okay? He grinned and offered them to Gemma. The bigfoot popped one in his mouth and then pointed at the harpy-dragon bickering and giggled. Fight.. like little ones . He meant babies of course, but they didn't really have babies here.

Glowering and countering the red dragon's flames with a kicked up gust of wind, Dyxie set a firm frown on his face. ::What would you know about concentration? All you do is nap, like a lazy hatchling.:: His chest puffed out rather haughtily, wings fanning out even more. ::You wouldn't know half the things I have to deal with on a daily basis.::

Gemma beamed, then leaned down and swiped a handful of the offered berries. Not really her usual food, but she liked them well enough, and they did seem to serve a similar purpose. She tossed one into her mouth, trying to mimic the way the keepers did it. Hmm.
A few berries fell on Caesar below as she missed her shot.Quote: Name: Gemma Species: Gargoyle Physical Description: A big stone gargoyle, solidly built, with jet black eyes and moss/lichen 'hair'.

Sometimes he disliked his job.
It wasn't so much the fact that he worked at a dangerous place that could very well be the end of him one day or another. Life itself was dangerous; Tobias could live with that fact quite easily.
No, it was the fact that he did not exactly like these creatures. They made him feel uneasy, and at the same time, he disliked their looks, their abilities, their unnatural air that was constantly about them. He supposed that it was his own fault, getting into such a job, but if he had known the extent of the park, he might not have accepted the offer so easily.
...or maybe he would have, since the pay was rather nice, Tobias consented internally, as he slowed his steps to a reasonable pace, waiting for September to catch up. And, he reminded himself, if he hadn't started working here, he wouldn't have ever met the long-limbed, freckle faced young man that he was becoming more attached to than he had ever intended to.
Tobias stopped outside of one of the enclosures, glancing around with mild curiosity at the creatures roaming the area. He slid his hands into the pockets of his pants and took a leisurely path, flipping open his phone to glance at his assignment again.
Partner: Layla.
It was a vaguely recognizable name. Tobias tapped his chin thoughtfully, scrolling through the contacts on his phone until he found the one he was looking for.Roxy_roxanna2 Hey, lady! Where you at? I'm here at the Monster Mountain, ready for duty!
But the annoyance passed so quickly it might not have been there at all.Quote: Staff Name: Tobias Bennett Job Description: Security Physical Description: 6'1", Tall, relatively brawny and slightly muscular (but not overly so), bright orange hair, amber eyes, dimples. Brief Character Profile: He's pretty laid back, but he's also got a bit of an edge to him, especially when it comes to dealing with the creatures in the park. He's boisterous and cheerful, and he can be fun to hang around, but if he's irritated, or if he's dealing with the creatures, that cheerfulness turns into mild sarcasm, slight bitterness, and sardonic comments here and there. He's strong-minded, but tell him to back off and he usually will. keiifuu ...I just realized your dragon character is in this thread too skldfnsdf

Fluffy had been waiting for a reply from the basilisk, he really had. Until a new scent came on the breeze that caused his head to jerk up in response. He didn't know the specific being well, but he knew that smell. There was a human around. Humans didn't come too often unless someone misbehaved or it was time for snacks. Either way, he didn't do anything bad so they couldn't have meant anything too negative for him.
So time to check if there was a treat to be had. So he quickly gave the beast a look before trotting off in the direction and keeping a good pace as he scampered along toward the target. And then he saw the poor fellow that was Tobias. A happy puppy grin(which honestly looked like a snarl on his face) might have crossed the cerberus' face before he went barreling full tilt toward the human. He didn't intend to harm him, not rather he just wanted what he might have.
Even if he didn't look quite like their usual handlers.
He didn't bother slowing down until he was nearly upon the human and only enough to avoid running him over. Actually he was still scrambling to a stop when he stared at the human, tail wagging. A rather loud bark accompanying the action. He'd come like a good boy. Where was his treat? Because if there wasn't one, well then he'd have to go get back to his rock. Because screw that.Yayoi BRB harassing the few human that entered he area. Quote: Name: Fluffy Species: Cerberus Physical Description: Large wild looking black dog.

Argos snorted, a long trail of steam hissing out from between his fangs. <You do taste bad. Like bird s**t and tree droppings. But I will still eat you because you are bite sized.> His long tail flicked, shaking the earth where the spikes caught and dug into. Grass and rocks sprayed out, and Argos let out a burr of sound that seemed almost pleased.
Sighing, Argos flicked his wing at a near tree, causing more pine cones to drop - hopefully on Kip's head. <Eat that. It suits you.> He followed the other with his head, blowing embers at the other in a lazy effort to charr away some of those pesky feathers.
Laying down with a thump once his rare bout of heroism was over, Argos snorted, flicking a long serpentine tongue out at Kip. <Because perhaps it would eat you instead, and save me the trouble of your loud antics for a day before it spat you back up.>
After all, it was too good a dream to think that anything would eat Kip and not try to spit him back out.
He flicked his tail in Caesar's direction next, tail curling back and forth. <Not enough.> He retorted shortly, not entirely one for gentle qualities.
His maw curled up into what could have been an inhuman grin, the thick scales glistening as he turned his eyes to the desert dragon. <And what do you do, sunbathe and eat your pellets like a good little lizard?> His wings wings unfurled, giving a few aggravated flaps. <Oh, please. Enlighten me.>
Their human company was greeted with much less interest than the others had been, and the dragon swung his head towards Tobias with a spout of flames that burned from between his large incisors and streaked outwards into the sky.
<Humans.> He snorted. <Lovely.>EVERYONE HERE HI YES HELLO
