Sand of shifters (semi-lit, invite only)

[young blood.]

Jake, or as the snake would see him as, a Bearded Vulture, opened his wings as the snake opened it's fan. A Bearded Vulture was different than most vultures. Most vultures are scavengers, don't hunt for themselves. Bearded Vultures do. And they can be vicious. They are one of the largest birds of prey and one of the most skilled. Jake lifted into the air. Should I shift? He wondered again. It appeared that the snake, a cobra, could spit acid, which was the last thing Jake needed. The snake seemed to have more sense than an average snake, so Jake figured that it may be best to shift. So he did. He landed, folding his wings down as his feathers began to disappear and his limbs and facial features re-appeared. Jake had figured out his powers well enough that he could shift anything he wore too, which was lucky. Now Jake just had to hope that this snake was, too, a shifter, or he would have to shift back, as he would be in trouble.

"What the..." Terra spoke aloud, groggily, slowly sitting up. "Where the hell am I?" Desert. As far as the eye could see. She looked down at her sand-covered-self to find a note. After reading it quickly the annoyed expression turned to anger. Terra began spilling out every curse she could think of as she stood and took in her surroundings. "How the heck am I supposed to 'survive' out here?!" This was unbelieveable. Someone had just dumped her here, no food or water, no shelter, and expected her to survive!
Terra sighed and grumbled more profantities before spotting two little dots on the horizon. Had they dumped others like her out here? The girl thought more a moment before phasing into her horse form. Would be fastest, I suppose. Without a second thought, she thundered towards the minute specks in the distance, her mane blowing in the dry, hot wind.

Matty wakes up burning. He was face first in the sand. Rolling over his spits some out of his mouth and sits up looking around. Grabbing his hat, Matty stands up brushing the dirt off him. Seeing a note he beinds down and reads it. "How are you suppost to survive in the desert?" he mumbles as he tears the note in half. Matty was still dazed from the injection he puts his hat back on and looks around at the surrounding sand. He shifts into a snake to help with the heat. Squinting he thought he saw 3 black blobs. Matty thought he was imagining it but he slightered towards the blobs anyways. It was better safe then sorry. Slowly he slighters towards them, not going fast since he thought they weren't real. Squinting again Matty saw what he thought was a horse. "A horse in the desert?" He mmumbles. "this has defaintly got to be my imagination." Thought he keeps going towards them. Matty slighters faster as the images get bigger and being to look real.

Jake turned, movement catching his eye. As he watched the shape move closer, although he still had an eye on the snake, he realized it was a horse. A horse? There are no horses in the desert. He thought to himself, backing away a bit from the Cobra, to greet the horse that was running steadily towards them. He still kept an eye on the cobra, in case it was a shifter, or a real acid-spitting snake. Jake watched, continued to watch the horse and snake, waiting for the horse, obviously a shifter for the case that there was no horses in the desert, and waiting to see the snake's reaction.

The scene the girl came upon was quite an odd one. A snake and a vulture? The two animals were staring each other down quite intently. Terra let out a whinny as she skid to a hault. She trotted around the two before deciding that they both were shifters, certain markings and postures giving it away. Terra quickly shifted to human form.us "Oi, there," she spoke casually.

SInna, as the snake, seemed to have a look of suprise on her face, before she shifted back, in crouched position. She then turned to jake. " you had me freightened there. I thought you were a real vulture." she then punched the sand, suddenly pissed. "hey, does that mean you also got that stupid note? the one that wants us to survive out here?" she waved to the desert.

Terra nodded. "They're a bunch of dumb-A's, who ever they are," she replied. "To be honest though, I thought I was the only shifter out there. I've never met any one else like me." Sweat was trickling down her neck and she tied her hair up in the hairband from her wrist.

[daices.]

Sinna nodded her head in agreement. "that makes two of us. and if they actually wanted us to survive, wich i really dont think they want, they should have at least given us provisions. They probably think we'll all die out here." sinna's throat was getting dry; the sand was slightly blowing. she coughed once, then said. "did you happen to see anywater when you woke up?"

[young blood.]

Jake gave a nod to the girl who had shifted from a horse.
"I got the note nearly five years ago." He gave a small laugh before adding, "honestly I don't mind it out here. There are quite a few shifters out here, I've greeted a lot in the years." He said, running his hand through his hair.
"There's food in what our animals eat and everything else is just common-sense. Truly, the trick is knowing how to defend yourself and adapting to the heat. If you like, I can teach you a bit." He offered, smiling at the two girls. They seemed nice and it was good to see another shifter. He hadn't seen any for a while, the amount of them were dying down, less were being dropped in the sands. And not all shifters managed to be lucky enough to live on their own out here. Jake had to consider himself lucky.

Sinna coughed again, and nodded. "sure. For a bearded vulture, and not a pretty one at that, you seem quite knowledgable. But please, could you help us find water? Im gonna lose my voice soon if we dont." ANd it was true. her voice was already getting softer, and rougher. " If thats what i get for being on a swim team, unending thurst, then i shouldnt have started." she grumbled, obviously a little miffed.
