Intake Report: Scarring Along Full Body
"This queen was a nightmare to unload. From the moment they burst out of the tiny cramped cage, they were thrashing and screaming and running in circles. We could see why this poor darling had been used in the racing circuit - they were oddly fast, graceful, and an agile runner - much unlike the naturally pokey and clumsy gaits of a normal Skepluvi. Eyeing over their scarring, it was apparent that despite their talent on the track, they were probably just too much to handle. It seems they instead used this queen as a breeder, forcing them to pump out babies who were torn away and sold off to be tested on the track in hopes they would carry their parent's speed. The queen had been bashing themselves against the cage bars over and over, tearing up their skin over the years, and they heartbreakingly showed a few v-shaped marks that could only have come from a metal skepluvian racer crop. The vet team even pondered over the circular scars on the back of the Skepluvi's head - had they seen the sharp end of a cattle prod? It was difficult to think about, and even more so when seeing just how much all of the mistreatment had affected the queen's mind. They were absolutely wild, horrified of humans, and unwilling to interact with anyone unless under heavy sedation. The Skepluvi's scars need to be tended to, and their matted feathers and scuffed up fur needs some gentle brushing and trimming (and a good old fashioned dust bathe wouldn't hurt!). But until someone can manage to get close enough to the poor rattled creature, their matts and sores will just get worse over time. We have high hopes that their new caretaker will be able to find a way to gain the lovely queen's trust, so that they can be cared for properly. If unable to tame them down, their future and health may be at stake. So it's up to you now - will you help rehabilitate them so they can get the care they need? "

Taming Prompt:
The scarred queen stared hard at the dark haired woman, long tail lashing wildly as she backed away. The woman did nothing merely continued to watch while the Skepluvi panicked, deep red eyes narrowed in barely veiled anger as the queen's screams of terror bombarded her ears. None of it was directed toward the terrified queen who stood shaking at the back of the outdoor arena, rather at the ones who had made her like this. The woman had rescued plenty of creatures and many of them had indeed been scared due to suffering from mistreatment but never had she encountered one that screamed if she got too close. This was going to be incredibly difficult but that didn't mean Isabela was going to give up without one hell of a fight.

Turning her back, the woman closed her eyes trying to think of a way to get through to the terror that assailed the poor scarred queen.

"The things you must have you seen, the life you lived? None of that matters now that you're here because I'm not going to give up on giving a damn about you. Know this, if I ever find those responsible they shall suffer at my hands. That I promise you" Isabela whispered as the screams died in volume, giving way to fearful chirps and squeaks. With a sigh she slid down to the floor back against the fence as she rifled through her pockets for any sort of tidbit that she might leave out for the queen. Finding nothing had her head thudding back against the fence in frustration. She must have used her last of her pocket tidbits on the last poor post soul she'd taken in.


A rustle drew the woman's attention to the white form that had moved into her line of sight. Neria gave a slightly garbled chirp of greeting and trotted over to Isabela, dropping a bag and nudging it toward the woman. Examining it brought a smile to her face.

"Clever girl, this is exactly what I need right now" Isabela breathed standing and catching the white queen in an embrace. "This may help our dear lady, Viper" came the quiet whisper as the white queen squeaked happily in her embrace. Releasing Neria, the woman opened the bag and drew out a handful of dried mixed fruit and various nuts. Tossing them into the arena for Viper to find once she and Neria gave the other queen some space.

After leading the white queen away, the dark haired woman made her way up onto the roof of the tack shed. Settling back against the wall of the barn in order to keep an eye on Viper, the colourful queen was tentatively wandering the arena. Occasionally snatching up a morsel from the floor and keeping an incredibly wary eye on her surroundings.

Several weeks passed by and Isabela was fraying, there had been no progress with the dark queen. Viper just as terrified as the day she had arrived and the woman despaired over that fact. The day had dawned bright and beautiful despite Isabela's bleak mood, still she tended to her many charges with a tired kindness. As had become the usual thing she made her way over to Viper's paddock and hopped the fence.

"Good afternoon beautiful lady, how are we today?" Isabella asked wearily as Viper immediately shot to the back of the paddock. Squeaking in fear and trembling violently. It wasn't a surprise when the heavens opened and the gathering storm unleashed itself. Growing closer and closer until it was directly overhead, less than two seconds between the books of thunder and bright flashes of lightning. It was there under the snarling sky that Isabela broke down, the pressure and stress finally becoming too much. Tears pooled in her ears and ran down her cheeks mixing with the raindrops.

"What do you want from me?! What happened to her is not my fault! I've been doing everything to try and save her!" She screamed at the sky. "Everything" the dark haired woman sobbed, sinking to her knees and simply letting the tears fall all while sobs wracked her frame. The rain continuing to soak her still form. A soft nudge to the side of her face distracted her and when she looked up, her dark eyes met the vivid yellow eyes of Viper. The scarred queen gently licked the woman's tears away and nuzzled her again, trying to offer comfort the best way she could.

"Imagine that, all it took was a thunderstorm and a breakdown on my part to get through to you" Isabela laughed as Viper licked her again.
