Arthes Grizzly Bear☀Rogue☀Female☀With Piper (In Bear Form)

Arthes tipped her head. "Rogue? If that's what you call me, yes I am that rogue. Unless you saw a rogue with neon blue hair and a panda as a pet. In that case, no, I am not the rogue you saw earlier" Her voice was gruff, seeing her form. She wasn't going to go into human form, for fear the girl might reconize her, and harm would come. She looked around for anything she could hunt. Her eyes laid on a small, baby deer. She quickly flexed and got ready to run. The deeer wouldn't see it coming. "Hey, uh, what are you doing?", asked the strange girl, but Arthes didn't respond. She shot forward, front paws out and ready to catch it. She tripped over a rock and tumbled to the feet of the deer, using her big paws to hold it down.

I had just got the trap all set up when Snap, it went off again as a leopard came running in. She did not hit the trap or anything but hit a stick that ended up having the trap go off. I nearly got my hand out of the way in time before the thing when off. All I did was stay there breathing in an out as I calmed myself. Today was not a good day for me, it was the anniversary of my mother's death. Most people don't remember thing like that more for the fake it happens often, but still I remember, after all I was only 7 at the time when it happened. Only the night before has she told me of that story about this world, and then she was gone. So I was on edge today, and really just wanted to rip something apart but I had duties to do and so I held it in.

After a moment of being silent and staying there I looked back to the two females. "Hello again Isabella." I said to the leopard as she made herself at home on a branch. It appeared she had no idea what she did and well it was ok. I watched as she shifted to her human form and sat there. That was when I turned back to Taylor, "If you would like, after this I can help you catch something. Or I can help teach ya how to use a bow if you want." I said to her.

Taylor's head lifted hearing the footfalls of a running four pawed figured, and as it neared she knew exactly who it was. She watched as Bella ran right over the trap that Synn was working on, and opened her mouth to caw a warning too late. Gasping, she quickly flew down towards the trapper, eyeing his hand with a tilted head as she landed on the ground. Hopping to investigate, staying as far away as possible from the trap, she sighed with relief, seeing he was alright. Cawing angrily, she transformed to human, a glare fixed upon the leopard. "You could have just lost a foot and made Synn loose his hand!" she said angrily, eyes scrunched as she glared.
Growling, she turned towards Synn and squatted, mumbling quietly, "You alright?" she could tell something was wrong by the look in his eyes, but what she could not be one hundred percent sure. She eyed his hand, before hearing his question, and she laughed quietly. She adjusted one of the sides of her shirt to reveal her belt, and to reveal a long bladed knife tucked within it. "I always carry something with me in case I do find an opportunity to help out the cave," she said, nodding her head, her smile fading slightly as she thought, though it reappeared when he spoke once more. "Oh, you don't have to do that for lil' ol' me," she said with a small smile, nodding her head softly.

~Loki~
My human mind finally caught up with the fleeing foxes body and I came to a sliding halt realizing I heard not foot falls behind me. I stood there panting as I looked back looking for either a human female or a white mare, but I saw neither. What was that baka of a female doing? It took every part of me to move my body back to the unknown beings, I knew I should not do it but I could not just leave here now could I? So I took off running back to the girl. It did not take me long to actually make it back. I watched as she stood right up and looked right at the humanoids before speaking. A small growl like sound was emitted from me as I only thought 'Baka!' Man did I hate hot headed people. Normally a human would answer back but these things they did not.

I caught the movement out of the corner of my eye as one of them charged almost mindlessly at Lillian. Even from the place I stood I could feel the blood lust it was giving off. It wanted to kill and slaughter Lillian. Most would probably keep there attention on that one, after all it was making a big enough scene to draw all of the attention. But my eyes moved form it to see the other three following in pursuit, they too looked ready to kill, but not as crazy as the other one. Only word that came to mind to the first one was a Berserker.

Lillian -- white horse -- Loki

Oh yes, this was her sort of thing. Stupid, perhaps, but absolutely exhilarating. She hadn't had a proper fight in a long time. Street fighting was in her blood, her history, engrained in her being. She was well used to being ganged up on, especially by men. She knew she didn't have to hold back against these not-really-humans.
A devilish grin chewed its way onto her face as she squared off with the overly-eager being advancing on her with such speed and aggression it almost took her aback. This was like a wild animal.
Jumping, she spun a neat kick in mid-air and landed her heel on the person's head, knocking it out easily. Flares, huh.
Make it more exciting, please, Lillian was never quite satisfied unless she could feel danger coursing through her. Panic made her feel alive. The young woman flicked her gorgeous blonde hair from her face and ran straight into the group. Her special awareness and ability to calmly calculate logically was striking for someone as impulsive as she was. In this situation, however, she let instinct take over. Unlike Kenton, who worked like a computer, Lillian was closer to a beast when she fought.
A beast who had taken martial arts and gymnastics.
This was too much fun....in a morbid sort of way, but how else was the world going to excite her? This was what she was good at, and what she enjoyed. She was putting no-one in danger but herself by doing it. And who really cared enough about her to worry? She had no family, no-one close enough to call a friend, and no-one to call her home at the end of the day. Her life was hers, and if she died, no-one would mourn.

Arthes Grizzly Bear☀Rogue☀Female☀Open

Arthes sighed. That girl had seemed odd anyways. She turned around to look at Winter, wagging her tail with half a rabbit in her mouth. Arthes laughed and slung a bag over her shoulder. It was full of a small knife, a blanket, a jacket, some rope and wire and a small pack of fish in case she got hungry. It was her hiking pack. She walked towards a random path that she had worn before. Winter silently padded beside her. Arthes made sure she was looking around for anything. She had to take these walks as a human, because for one thing, it would weird to see a bear with a bag, and another thing, the people might try to kill her or harm her. It was a risk she couldn't take.

Piper Chipmunk✩Community✩Female✩Falling On Kenton

Piper started running to a nearby tree once the bear had turned around. She lifted her foot onto a branch and pulled herself up. She peeled some bark back to make a grip for herself, and pulled her other leg up. She kept grabbing branch after branch of the pine. The sap on the branches nor rough feel of the bark didn't bother her. She was doing what she was meant to. She soon reached the top of the tree. Standing on a branch with her feet, she grasped the trunk of the tree with her left hand and surveyed the area. There was nobody else around her, for what she knew. She bent down to grab the branch of another tree. She jumped off of her branch and grabbed the other branch with both her hands in mid-air, suspending herself. She tried to pull herself up, but couldn't. The next branch was too far away to grab or climb onto, and the one she had come from was weakened from her being on it and was too far away to really, really grab anyways. She was stuck. "Help", she whimpered. "Help" She wasn't going to call out, the whole community would know. If that leopard came, she still wouldn't be much of a help... but then who would? Piper closed her eyes tight. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, but she couldn't brush them away or she was as good as dead. If she let go, the height would surely kill her. So she stuck, suspended there by her weakening arms, crying. Nobody even knew where she was, and she was partly hidden by the branches. Was she going to be up here for a thousand years? More tears trickled down her nose and cheeks, and fell on her clothing and the branches. "I don't know... mother, father, I love you...", she whispered, eyes closed tight. Her lip quivered. Is this the end? Her finger slipped and she steadied it again. the pain in her arms was massive, breath-taking, but the pain would be worse if she let go. Either way, she would need treatment. She took another breath and opened her eyes, the sun blazing. It was blinding her, and she closed them again. She gasped and one of her hands fell. Using all of the strength she had, she pulled it back up. I can't... I have family, friends... Don't take me... She opened her eyes and looked around. There was nothing that could help her. She looked down. Kenton was right there. Perhaps... Then she fell.

Kenton -- panther -- Piper

Kenton heard the noise a moment too late. His head shot up, he spotted Piper falling towards him and instinct was the only thing that saved both of them. As a big cat, his body was a bit more durable, and certainly softer to land on. Why such a thought had occurred to him, he wasn't sure. It certainly came to him fast.
Fast enough to break Piper's fall.
He tried to catch her, but that's hard with big paws and claws sharper than the wit of the British. She practically crushed him, smacking him back into the ground. Kenton, dazed and winded, eyes spinning, lay in the dirt with her sprawled on top of him. His black furred body shimmered back into skin. His blonde hair had many leaves in it.
Ow... his brain coughed out. He didn't quite have the bounce to spring up and start slamming this girl with sarcastic and aggressive comments about watching one's footing and where one landed. Bloody Hell.... and many other English cuss words that his mother would consider smacking him had he said them out loud.

Piper Chipmunk✩Community✩Female✩Open

Piper braced herself, waiting for the hard crack of rock. But all she felt something more soft. Opening her eyes, she whispered, "Kenton? Is that you?" She realized what had happened in that second, and quickly got off. "Thank you...", she whispered. Her arms still felt like fire, and she had imprints of the bark on her palms, but she was alive. She was breathing, her heart was beating, she was alive. She closed her eyes and sighed. She was so close to death... One thought confused her. If Kenton had saved her, either it was pure instinct, or he wasn't the person everybody thought. He didn't really know her, and it probably wouldn't have mattered to him if she died. So why had he saved her? She coughed and sat up.

Kenton -- panther -- Piper

What the blonde had meant to say was 'get off I can't breathe', but it came out more like a mumbled string of garbage and syllables that had gotten lost on their way to work.
Kenton coughed too, although his was a strangled, scrabbling-for-air sort of cough. That would probably bruise later, he thought, wondering himself why he had attempted to catch this girl in the first place, instead of just walking away.
What sort of cruel human being would do that? Despite what people might think, I do have standards. She was going to land on me anyways, so I might as well have tried to catch her. Logic fell into place, as usual. At least his head still worked. He sat up and ruffled leaves from his hair, realizing he wasn't actually concerned about his own safety.
He was more worried about her....well, not worried. Worried was the wrong word. Of course, being Kenton, he didn't ask her if she was okay, he just did a quick scan and answered the question for himself; she was fine.
The Englishman let out a sigh and rolled his neck, one hand on his chest.

Piper Chipmunk✩Community✩Female✩With Kenton

Piper was still sitting. "Thank you. I think I'm going to go back for the rest of the day. My arms, they just hurt like fire... I mean, have you ever been hung like that? I swear, it felt like something was going to rip...", she trailed off, rubbing her left arm. She looked up at the tree. It was much higher than she had thought, and she hadn't even been at the top. If she had... she didn't want to think about it. All she wanted to do was go back and see if her arms were okay. She sighed as Peanut came climbing onto her leg, chattering like mad. She didn't respond to him.

[stormy tom]

Kenton -- panther -- Piper.

"Be careful next time," he stood up, still rubbing his chest. His eyes moved the way computer-run surveillance cameras do, scanning. One could almost see the calculations, algorithms and binary code streaming behind his eyes in an over-mathematic brain. "With a sudden applied force of between nine-hundred and one-thousand Newtons pulling you downwards I'm sure you may have pulled a muscle or two," he spat out the numbers calmly, like a calculator. "Although, you had no time to reach terminal velocity during your fall, so everything else should be fine." Since I absorbed much of the force, but I don't feel like doing momentum calculations. "May I suggest not climbing so high, and not landing on unsuspecting people napping quietly."
He brushed dirt from his trouser and jacket, considering recording the event in his journal. Today a person fell on me from above. I could not breathe, but some people might have called that exciting.... He could picture the entry now. It would probably be lame, a feeble attempt at noting something dynamic happening in his pathetic life.
Wow, he'd actually helped a human being today. What a change. Someone was thanking him, instead of cursing him.

Piper Chipmunk✩Community✩Female✩With Kenton, Now Open

"What?", Piper mumbled. She never understood mathematics. "Thanks anyways, I need to get back", she sighed. Her legs were strong enough to walk, but they still felt weak from the fall. Piper walked back home, re-playing the scene over and over in her head. That was stupid... I should've known. If I had an animal like a leopard or a bird I would've been alright, but no, I have a tiny chipmunk. Then again, maybe the chipmunk is what allowed me to get that high anyways. Perhaps I'll stay off hunting for a few days... Her thoughts drifted away and she pushed them back on track. I will never get that feeling again, the feeling while I was falling. It felt like eternity, like everything was happening so slow. I fell, twisting onto my back, and I saw the clouds and sun and tops of the trees... I saw red on the branch I had been on... was it really that bad? She checked her hands. Sure enough, there was a cut on her right hand. I guess it was. But then I turned onto my stomach... I never thought Kenton would actually try to be saving me. Not Kenton. I felt more alive on the verge of death than I ever have before. I... nobody will be able to tell what I was feeling. Nobody. Is it bad that I long to feel that again? She sighed. "Life is so confusing", she muttered, raising her hand to her forehead. She was nearly home now, she could get her arms and legs checked out.
