RolePlay - 23rd of September

Starlight lets out a loud bark and lunges forward catching the paw in her powerful jaws. She sinks her teeth deep into the flesh and yanked hard. She let go, a little blood on her teeth.

General jumps and also bites down on it's paw. He thrashes his head from side to side causing more damage. He quickly jumped back and pulled Starlight out of harm's way with him.

Sage slinks to the side of the genet, lunges and sinks her teeth into the genet's side hard and thrashes her head tearing a gash into the genet's flesh.

The genet moans in pain and stumbles back, too weak to fight back.

Starlight hissed, Get out of here!

General snarled ready to lunge again.

Sage lets go of the genet's side then wardances at the wounded genet.

Not wanting to continue the fight, the genet limps off in pain and disappears through the grass.

Starlight began scent marking the area hoping to further drive off the genet.

Riverdance stood up and watched the genet leave, making sure it didn't make the foolish choice to make a 'u' turn.

General helped Starlight scent mark.

Abasi sat back watching the genet leave. He barked after it showing his approval to the adult's team work.

Sage stops her wardance and watches the genet leave with narrowed eyes and a triumphant smile on her face. She looks back at the group proud. They all did great as a team. Sage looks back at the genet even though it's badly wounded, theres still a risk that it may return with a vengence.

Starlight watched it leave, it was time to locate a new burrow, she made lead calls and headed off.

Riverdance picked up Akila and followed.

General was close behind, making sure Abasi could keep up.

Sage follows behind General and Abasi, making occasional glances over her shoulder to make sure the genet doesnt return.

Starlight spotted a burrow in the distance and closed in on it.

General followed close behind.

Riverdance slightly lagged behind but started to speed up at the sight of the burrow.

Abasi trotted alongside General.

Sage follows in the back of the group eyeing the burrow cautiously. Who knows what they may meet once they observe the inside of the burrow.

General moved forward, he sniffed the entrance, they haven't been in this burrow since Katie Kat was still dominant female, and now it looked worn out and used, it was on the edge of their territory bordering the Summits, but it was good enough from the smell of it. He slowly crept inside to investigate the burrow.

Sage follows behind General. She sniffs around the outside of the burrow cautiously. It smells ok but what could be inside? Sage follows General below sniffing around cautiously

(Since Dipsy is gone, I guess I'll play Jackson until she comes back, anyone want to play the jealous aunt Diara?)

Jackson inched forward, he wanted to follow, but Riverdance was holding him back, he needed to mind the fact that he was only a three month old pup. He didn't seem to care, he thought he was big enough to do anything any adult can do.

Akila watches, the funny thing was, before Akida and Akina died (or thought to have died) he had been so much more his age, more like a playful, happy. go-lucky self, but when Mikeyal vanished, that was the final hammer, his only littermate having gone missing must have been hard on him. While Akila still had Abasi, Jackson had no one left. She felt a little sorry for her big brother.

Sage comes to a tunnel and cautiously crawls her way through. She sniffs at the air and floor getting a whif of a strange smell. It doesn't alarm her but she stays cautious and continues advancing further down the tunnel unaware of what she may encounter.

General makes one last check before decaring it safe. He looks to his right and jumps back surprised to see something moving. he barks at it, and it looks up in fear. He relaxes as he finds it is just a harmless ground squirrel.

The strange smell intensifies as Sage continues down the tunnel. Suddenly she is spooked by a squeak and jumps back with her fur fluffed out, hissing but she got a closer look at it, it appeared to be just a juvenile ground squirell. She smiles happy to see that it wasnt a predator.

General heads back above ground and calls to the others it was safe.

Sage follows General above ground then immediately gets to escavating the burrow entrance.

Starlight and General set off scent marking the area.

As General and Starlight scent mark the area, Sage moves her burrow escavation down into the burrow and begins to clear the tunnel floors of lumps of sand and debris.

As the adults claimed the burrow, Akila layed down, tired.

Abasi layed next to his sister, also tired from the travel.

Sage finishes up the burrow escavating and returns above ground. She sees Akila and Abasi laying next to each other looking tired and smiles. She pads over to them and lays down also tired from the day's events.

Riverdance sits away from the group, trying to avoid Starlight's attention.

Sage yawns then lays her head on her front paws. She looks up at Riverdance then to Starlight and senses that there could be tension between them soon.

Starlight watched Riverdance through narrowed eyes. Riverdance couldn't escape, if she had a litter of more than four pups, the extras would be eliminated.
