Scar's Pride (Lion King)-Open-RP Thread

Hiari|Cub|Location:Pride Rock|Tag(s): Abasi, Open

Hiari looked at him and tilted her head ever so slightly as he ignored her, and she looked over at the others. The rising tension made her ears flick with annoyance. She turned to follow Abasi. "Okay!" She yipped happily in a cheery tone as she tried to lighten the mood. Once they were a bit away from them, she lowered her tone and said, "that wasn't very nice Abasi... Did she insult you?" She asked. "If she did, I can go bite her tail if you want!" Hiara said with a playful tone. Hiara wagged her tail. "I'm sure Auntie Shenzi wouldn't mind it if I did if Diata insulted you."

Diata|Hunter|Location:Pride Rock|Tags:Jiona, Nadira, Abasi

Diata flicked her tail in annoyance, and she simply rolled her eyes at the comments from Nadira. Once Nadira had left after she spoke, she looked over at Jiona. "Ever heard of small talk, Jiona. It might be helpful for Nadira to learn! I was simply making a comment about what I was wondering what we would hunt." The poison remained as her tone was usually like that, even in some of her compliments. "Seems like one of the best things you did with raising was Abasi." She stated as she sat up and licked her paw. She ran the paw over her muzzle. "Abasi is taking after Scar... At least one of your children will be okay. Since he is firstborn and Scar doesn't have a queen, he might just be the heir to the Pridelands... That's only if he doesn't find a queen... but that's just a suggestion. You were lucky enough to even get him to mate with you."

Lesedi :: Albino Lioness :: Cubsitter :: ~open
Lesedi relaxed slightly as Scar walked away, pink eyes flickering across the gathered lionesses and hyenas. There would probably be a hunt soon, so she'd be needed to watch the cubs. And she tried to keep any disappointment off her features at that thought, because she didn't mind watching the cubs -- she really didn't! -- but she missed the thrill of the chase, sprinting to herd the prey towards where the others lay in wait, catching one herself if it fell behind the others. Still! She was here, and alive, and she was certain that things would improve soon enough. Things couldn't stay bad for long, and surely soon she may even be allowed to rejoin the hunters once more. She'd dream of better times, regardless. Times when most of them didn't practically live in fear of their own king. Until those times came again she'd simply keep her head up and power through, the same she always did.
For now... for now, she'd need to find where the cubs and their mothers went, before a hunt was organized.


Kayode :: Barbary Lion :: Outsider :: ~open
"The clouds will always pass, and the sun will always rise-" a deep, easy voice broke through the silence that surrounded the elephant graveyard, a lion picking his way between the massive bones, "just as surely as kings fall, as the hungry vulture flies~" It was surely a rather grim place his paws had carried him to this time, and the stories he'd heard from animals heading in the opposite direction gave rise to a concerning picture. Not that it was really any of his business, but Kayode was a story teller at heart, and that meant that his heart would always lead him to where the stories are being written. Even if it would probably lead to danger, but he was confident enough in his size and strength.

Shenzi|General|Location:Pride Rock|Tag(s):Lesedi, Open

Shenzi came out of Scar's den, and she looked around. Once she spotted Lesedi, the hyena walked over to her with glaring eyes. She looked at Lesedi. "Is Hiari behaving?" She asked simply. It was common for Shenzi to check in about Hiari as she had taken up a parental figure role with the orphaned cub. Shenzi sat down. Her face barely gave any emotion towards Lesedi except for authority and business. Small chatting with lions wasn't her type of thing, and she definitely didn't like the idea of Hiari being partially raised by lions. However, this was the best way for the hyena clan to eat.

Jiona
12 years | Female | Mother (Head Hunter)
Location: Pride Rock | Tags: Diata, Open

Watching as her two cubs left, Jiona returned her gaze to Diata as the female once again spoke. "I do believe I was talking to my family about family buisness, Diata. Why you decided to stick your nose into family business I have no idea." She said in a dry tone. "And while I might be Nadira's mother, she makes her own choices." Jiona stayed Diata continued to speak, irritation sparking in her gut, breathing out a small sigh, she smiled when she saw her opening. "Well, what can I say Diata. Scar always did prefer intelligent lionesses." There was an edge to her tone, implying that Jiona didn't think that the younger female was smart, despite the small smile on her face.

Badru
8 years | Male | Outsider
Location: Elephant Graveyard | Tags: Open

Despite the fact that Badru didn't blend in well with the area and his large size taking down the antelope was a rather easy feat. Muzzle and paws stained with blood, Badru let out a happy growl and let out roar allowing his pride in his kill take over. He looked around after realizing what he'd done and winced. I really hope I don't attract the pridelanders, or something worse. He'd never know any animal to pass up an easy meal, so he'd have to guard his kill zealously. Leaning down the bronze-hued male took his first bite into his meal, groaning softly.

Nadira
5 years | Female | Hunter
Location: Pride Rock | Tags: Open

Shaking out her pale coat, Nadira trotted away from the annoyance that was Diata, her lips curled back into a sneer. Without much thought, she started to head up to the area where Rafeeki had shown Simba to all the pridelands. She remembered that day, she had still been a cub back then, but very happy with the birth of the prince. Nadira hadn't interacted much with the young prince or anyone else his age, so it really didn't change much for her when both he and Mufasa died. Giving her jaws a lick, the feline flopped to onto the hard rock her front paws hanging off the front. Lowering her head, the honey-hued eyed female blinked and watched as the animals wandered around as far as she could see.

Abasi
1 year | Male | Cub

A huff made its way out of his jaws before he could stop it, relaxing as the two got farther as farther from the others. "Not really insulting more of..." He trailed off for a few seconds, "insinuating." He shrugged, shooting a look at the hyena cub and snickered," Though I don't think anyone would mind if you took a chunk out of her." Abasi shook his head, taking a turn to head away from pride Rock the young male glanced at Hiari and with a soft hum once again spoke up. "Any Idea's on what we should do? Or where we should go?" There were so many places the two could go, and he hadn't seen many of them, his mother had been a bit overprotective when he was young. Thankfully now that his mane was starting to grow in, and he was big enough to at least defend himself he was being let out without much supervision.

Diata|Hunter|Location:Pride Rock|Tags:Jiona, Open

Diata rolled her eyes, "I never butted into family business. I just made a suggestion. After all, some of these verbal attacks are simply uncalled for. Aren't we supposed to be getting along? Would definitely work if both of us made the effort, yeah?" Diata moved onto grooming her shoulder. "Yes, well he doesn't exactly want to mate with cubs, now does he? I have a clearer shot now that I'm older and a hunter." That was true. When he had chosen to mate with Jiona, Diata was still a cub. "We'll see, now won't we?"

Hiari|Cub|Location:Pride Rock|Tag(s): Abasi, Open

Hiari let out a soft, hyena giggle. "Hey if I did that, I might even get to eat with Shenzi." She joked. When he asked what they should do, she shrugged then tilted her head for a moment in thought. "Well, we could go to the Elephant Graveyard or The Gorge. The Water Hole might be a good place, but it isn't very interesting there. Although, I've heard some rumors that there are some outsiders hanging around. Maybe, we could chase them off or convince them to join the Pride."

Lesedi :: Albino Lioness :: Cubsitter :: ~Shenzi, open
She started slightly as Shenzi approached her, though perhaps she shouldn't have really been surprised. It was decently common for her to ask after the young hyena that Lesedi was meant to watch over alongside the lion cubs. She was maybe a little tense at the sudden address, but she had a gentle smile on her face nonetheless. "As much as any young cub behaves," she answered with a small nod, "there have been no serious problems that I personally have had with her."

"Good, good." She said as she moved to stare directly into Lesedi's eyes with dominance. "Remember if Hiari has any trouble, you come straight to me about it. If she is hurt," Shenzi bared her teeth and growled at Lesedi, "you're going to wish you had died as an ill cub." Shenzi turned and bounded away. She didn't like being with lions more than she had to.

Jiona
12 years | Female | Mother (Head Hunter)
Location: Pride Rock | Tags: Diata, Open

Jiona closed her eyes simply ignoring the younger female for a time. When Diata was done yapping away, she spoke, tone bland. "It doesn't matter much for me. I have no need to be the queen. That game is for the younger and stronger." Opening her eyes her gaze narrowed in on Diata. "Though you are correct about one thing Diata, it might not have been family business. But it wasn't something I wanted or needed your help with, next please let me handle my own cubs. If I ever need assistance from someone like you, I'll be sure to find someone." She rolled her eyes as if she'd ever take advice from a less experienced lioness that hasn't even had a single litter of cubs yet. Turning her body away from the other lioness she began to groom her own fur, hoping to relax.

Badru
8 years | Male | Outsider
Location: Elephant Graveyard | Tags: Open

Eating his fill was a quick thing, and there was enough of the antelope left that it would probably last until the next morning. Something he greatly appreciated, even if it only lasted that long, it would still be worth it. Maybe. Heaving a sigh, he gripped the antelope carcass and started to drag it to his makeshift den. The massive skull of what looked like an elephant was were he made his home, and with no set territory, Badru didn't expect to be able to stay in his home for long. About halfway to his den the male dropped his kill to take a quick sniff of the air, hoping that he wouldn't catch the scent of anything or anyone else. He blinked as he caught the faint scent of another lone male in the air and frowned, but once again grabbed his kill and kept moving.

Nadira
5 years | Female | Hunter
Location: Pride Rock | Tags: Open

A delighted growl rumbled in her throat, her toes curled her unusually long claws tapping on the hard stone that she rested her body upon. She wondered what the pride would be hunting today, her mind wandered as she spotted various zebra, antelope, and other herd animals that milled about the pridelands. Tail lashing about, she absently remembered the rumor of traces of strangers in the pridelands. Eyes narrowing the pale-furred female got to her paws, hopefully, no one would mind if she went to check out the usual places. The gorge, the watering hole, and a quick glance around the normal hunting grounds. Without much thought, Nadira started down from her little thinking spot, and down from pride rock down to the soft earthy ground. Not sure which way she wanted to go first, Nadira decided absently she satisfy her thirst while checking out the watering hole.

Abasi
1 year | Male | Cub
Location: Pride Rock | Tags: Hiari, Open

"I would willingly give up a nice cut of meat to see that." He snarked back, snickering softly. At her answer to where they would go, he let out a hum of contemplation. Thinking out loud he began to speak," Well, the Gorge seems a little boring, and I'm sure Scar might have my hide if I went there after it all it is where Mu-" He cut himself off, that name was not one to be said. Abasi shook his head. "Where you-know-who died, I really don't want to see a decaying body or two before dinner or risk a stamped." The male sat down giving his small bit of chest fluff a few licks before continuing. " The Elephant Graveyard or Water Hole seems like the best choice." He glanced in the two general directions of both locations, smiled then said," Let's go to the Elephant Graveyard, sound like a great time even if we don't find company." He stood, claws flexing with a small bout of excitement, hoping they'd run into a stranger there.

Lesedi :: Albino Lioness :: Cubsitter :: ~Shenzi, open
Lesedi winced at the hyena's words, less at the threat itself and more at the jab at her poor health as a cub -- an old fear and shame that even now at times reared its head. Nonetheless her expression changed little and her voice was still light as she dipped her head, "of course, I understand." She murmured after Shenzi. She was choosing to believe she simply cared greatly for the young hyena and nothing more, whether that was only willful ignorance or not... well, Lesedi really couldn't say.

"Uh-huh..." She simply let out towards the female as she continued to groom herself. After a bit of silence, she paused a bit. "Have you heard any of the rumors about the outsiders? There seems to be a lot of attraction towards the Pridelands these days for those pitiful loners." Diata said "Guess we shouldn't be too surprised. Have you heard any word on what we should do in case we meet them? Scar hasn't really issued much about it. I wonder if he's making a big, glorious plan to drive them all out."

Hiari|Cub|Location:Pride Rock|Tag(s): Abasi, Open

At the speak of Mufasa, Hiara leaned in and softly whispered into his ear, "do you really think that his body would still be there? I always thought they would've buried him or at least moved him at least." At the mention of going to the Elephant Graveyard, Hiari perked up once more. "Alright! We should tell someone before we go in case we meet one of those outsiders. I don't want to become one of the bones there." Hiari shook her pelt. "That wouldn't be fun."
