Sybil flinched when Sayan said something about a swallowing trick.
"Wait wait wait! Swallow trick!? What is that suppose to mean?" Sybil asked startled, being the first time she heard about that. Cairo was the only one who did that trick, and he never dared to do it with Sybil, so only Sayan and Rose had the privilege.

"Oh... I'm sorry! I thought you heard of it.," Sayan said regretting mentioning it. "You see... it's where Cairo almost swallows you but doesn't. Instead, but you get pushed back up at the last second.," he explained now flinching at the thought.

After a few seconds, Sybil gave a light chuckle after the explanation.
"Quite a secret that Cairo had. Wait until he gets back there!" Sybil said, ready to scold him once he returns, if she makes it through the drought that is. A stunt like that could have gone very wrong.
"Poor you Sayan. You must have received the scare of your life the first time." she added, very sure she would have been quite traumatized if he had tried that with her.

"You could say that, but there's a first time for everything.," Sayan said somewhat proud that he had learned to adapt to the orca's tactics. "Cairo could be rough at times, but that's what made it fun and I did play hard-to-get.," he added imagining that the orca saw him as competition as the games progressed.

Sybil was surprised that Sayan was taking it so lightly. Perhaps he has grown fond of the games after all.
"You have always so strong Sayan. And you're right. You did gave the orcas, Cairo in particular, a hard time to catch you. Strong and fast. How I wish I could be like you. You sometimes spent an entire day without getting caught. Yet I didn't seem to improve. The last time, I was caught not once, but twice. It is so embarrassing." Sybil said with shame, still remembering the brutality she went through in that last game.

"Even if it doesn't seem like it, we all improved... even you.," Sayan said trying to cheer Sybil up. He also imagined that the orcas were always a little more careful with the civet, avoiding the more dangerous moves.

Sybil was very happy that she had a friend like Sayan who always tried her best to cheer her up, and while they were being finished with the last signs, Sybil realized just how rough she and her friend's life has become.
"Well... I hope you're right. I will need that experience if I want to survive. And after the drought, the pod will return, and what you said earlier it's true. You can bet they will be desperate for the game." she pointed out, imagining that after their journey, they will become even more brutal in their play to compensate the time they lost.

(Dang ... this RP is moving faster than I had thought.)

Avius had been standing a distance away from Sybil and Sayan, listening to them, "So ... I'm Avius."

OOC: I did warned you theuone

"Oh Anvius, I didn't realized you've followed us." Sybil said, apologizing for ignoring him, but there was still so much to do in so little time that it was hard to keep track of everything.

Soon Rose reached her den only to be greeted by Sholeh. "What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like? I'm here to tie you up so that you won't murder your poor friends." Sholeh said in a rather mocking tone, looking forward to the imprisonment. Tying up Rosewould mean that she is saving Sybil and her friends, but at least she found it better to antagonize them than having them dead.

"Anvius? Not sure I've seen you before, but always nice to meet a new face.," Sayan said with a smile.

I was always nice to meet a new face. Even though Sybil did see Anvius once, it was the first time she heard that name.
"A pleasure." she said kindly, still wondering why she was still receiving a high volume of guest when the Haven wasn't going well. Wen she return with the sign, she could see that they were finally done.
"Well now, sorry to leave you like this Anvius, but Sayan and I have a very urgent matter to take care of." Sybil said, wishing she could have stayed and chat, but the task at hand was more important.

Quote: Spyroconvexity

Rose growled at Sholeh but she calmed down. "Fine tie me up." Rose said. "But We are waiting for Sybil and Sayan before we do."

"Can't do anything without them, can you? Makes me wonder why Sybil chose you as a successor." Sholeh said, wanting to lower her spirit, but before Rose could defend herself, she spoke again.
"Well we can't wait for that pair. Look at the sky. It's almost night, and this can't wait." Sholeh said with a rush, beginning to tie up the tiger with Warren's help.

"Later perhaps.," Sayan quickly said as they made way back towards the beach. At this rate, they were running out of time and fast.

While walking rapidly towards the beach, something occurred to Sybil.
"Sayan... when we reach the beach, let me place the signs alone. If by any chance the orcas are on the hunt, I don't want your life to be risked as well." Sybil said with a heavy heart, knowing that placing those signs alone was certainly going to take her through the night. But in times like that, she wanted to think positive.
"I doubt anything will happen though. It is too early to assume the'll be after us." she said, hoping that the orcas could hold their instincts better than Rose could. But seal beach has been empty for almost a week, and orcas needed almost three hundred pounds of food per day, and that made Sybil even more worried.

"Alright... but be careful out there.," Sayan said trying not to sound worried. He knew he was responsible for more than just himself now, but it didn't make him feel any better about the situation.

"I will, I promise." she said, quite surprised that Sayan was agreeing with her on everything.

After about fifteen minutes, they have reached the beach, to the same spot where Rose and Guardian were.
"It looks like Rose returned to the den. You better go after her. And see if you can find Sholeh in the meantime." she instructed, looking at the ocean and seeing absolutely no sign of any orca. She hoped that meant they were far away.
"Well then, see you tomorrow. I will try to be done before dark..." she said, not wanting to be alone, but if by any chance she got caught, she didn't want anyone to see it. So without a moment's haste, she grabbed the first batch of signs, placing them very near the water, and noticing that the tide was higher now...

Sayan hesitated before leaving and watched as Sybil placed the first sign. 'So far so good..,' he thought. He could only hope the civet's luck lasted, but he soon departed himself and headed towards his den.

"Just what do you think you are doing?!," asked a booming voice as Sayan interrupted the scene.

Sholeh and Warren had no choice but to retreat when Rowe turned violent. They couldn't get good knots on the few vines they managed to attach to her
"Alright you jerk! You don't want our help, then so be it! Don't blame me if in the morning you find a tragedy has occurred because of you!" Sholeh said furiously, ignoring Sayan and not taking very well her outburst. She believed that it was because Rose hated her, but Warren was almost certain that it was because her instincts were slowly taking over, and was ready to fly her away from there if that turned out to be the case.

"Pathetic." Sholeh whispered to Warren, not believing how Rpse, who was practically now a young adult, still acted like a dependent, wishy-washy cub.

At the beach, Sybil was too far from the den to hear anything. All of her senses were concentrated on that vast ocean and the dangers that lurked about. She was beginning to believe that all the orcas should have left, but then again, the poor serval wouldn't have had an orca to transport him and Jack to Hunted island. Don't let anything happen... she said in her mind, hoping that her extreme concern was just her being paranoid and that the three orcas remaining were getting ready to sleep. This however, didn't stop her from being on high alert while putting the signs.

Guardian stayed at the beach to keep an eye on Sybil.

Crocux wondered off going back to his den a while ago and fell asleep along the way, while sleeping he met the newest resadent. Jr came by with his loot and saw Crocux. His mother told him all about his names sake and his odd family but never met them so he almost didn't realize who Crocux probably was until he saw the scar over Crocux's eye. When he saw the scar he left him a lizard and left to find himself a home. He was surching for an easy to climb tree that others like any wild cats couldn't climb or would find difficult to climb and perfered it to have a large hallw that he could sleep in and a few smaller ones to hide his loot in.

"Fine. Then you do it leopard. I'm outta here. Come on Warren, let's go home!" Sholeh said with boiling anger, literally throwing the vines at Sayan's paws, proceeding to go to her thrashed tree. She won't cry over anyone if the residents killed each other.

Back at the Antarctica, there was no improvement with Cairo. Some of the pod members even had to share their food with him since he wasn't even hunting. After much time, it was Ellen the one who approached him.
"Come on Mr. Cairo. We can't follow a leader who is depressed all the time. It's not like we are gone forever. We will return as soon as the drought is over." she assured, but didn't make Cairo feel any better.
"But for how long? Droughts can last months. I can't wait that long. Sybil needs me. I don't trust her security with Jet." he said, showing he still had animosity towards him.
"But Mr. Cairo, you won't do any good if you starve to death. Sybil and the others gathered enough food for them, but that is something we could never do. They will be fine, and what little remains in the water, it's enough to sustain Jet." Ellen assured, like Cairo, not knowing that with two more orcas were there, that represented competition with the few supplies left.

Sayan looked back as Sholeh made a quick escape and then back at Rose. "It's okay Rose... they should have waited.," he gently said as he began to tie the knots himself.

Sybil continued working, not even having reached half of the signs. So far not a single suspicious sound, but she knew that in circumstances like that, it was never wise to lower one's guard. The sun was setting, making the sky a beautiful orange color, but it wasn't time to contemplate it's amazement. To make matters worse, the little rays of the sun were flashing from the ocean, making it difficult to see it without getting your eyes hurt.
"Just great. As if things couldn't get any worse." she said to herself, now having to rely more on her ears to notice any approaching orcas. The only thing that made her think positive was that if by any chance they wanted to attack her, they would have done so already.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!" Sholeh screamed when she saw the severe state of her tree and her destroyed fence. Her yell was so terrifying that it sounded more like an agonizing banshee. She then climbed to her cavity, and saw to her horror and anger that all the lizards that she spent so much time gathering were gone.
"Madam!?" Warren said, immensely worried about her.
"I've been robbed Warren! Vandalized! Whoever did this is as good as dead!" she said with scary malice, terrifying even Warren.
"Warren! Announce this disgrace to the stupid cat lovebirds. I'm going to see Sybil!" Sholeh said furiously, heading to Sybil's tree, thinking she has returned by now. Never in her life has she been so furious, and this really scared Warren. There was no doubt she was out for blood.

Guardian raised his head hearing the scream "what the heck was that!?" he yelled in surprize.

Crocux woke up when he heard a scream. Before he left to investagate he saw a lizard, not wanting to let it go to wast he ate it, then left to see what the heck was going on.

Sybil heard something as well, and got distracted for a brief moment.
"Just what the heck is going on out there!?" she said to herself, becoming stressed by the many worries and events that were occurring. She then decided that whatever it was, Sayan wold take care of it, since she was too busy already. She then realized that in that very moment, she would have been an easy target, but since nothing happened, she convinced herself that the orcas meant no harm... for now. She continued placing the signs, lowering her guard by just a little bit.

"Heck man, what in the world was that!?" Mambo said from inside his tree, having heard something unusual. Since the kea tree was quite far from Sholeh's tree, the scream couldn't be appreciated well, and sounded more like a distant bellowing. He wondered if he should investigate...

"Sybil! The signs can wait! Whatever it was we need to investagate before something happpens that could have been prevented! Come on!" yelled Guardian as he moved closer to the foilage but didn't enter since he wanted Sybil to come with.

Jr soon found a tree that was a fair distance away from Shelohs tree but it wasn't past the keas tree but was fairly close to it. As he climbed up the tree he heard the scream and smiled to himself, proud of his work, he got to work on settling in the tree which he found had an interesting foialage. Birds couldn't see into the trees foialage even during the fall with how thick it was, from the ground others couldn't see in but he could see out. The perfect home for the master theif.

Guardian's sudden speech made Sybil jump a little, but calmed down immediately as she saw him.
"Guardian! I thought you were with Rose and Sayan." she said, but then proceeded to reply on his comment.
"Look, whatever that was, Sayan can investigate. The signs must be put on today. Not every resident know that they must stay away from the water." she said, not realizing she had her back to the ocean.

While Sholeh was still heading towards Sybil's tree, Warren had already reached Sayan's den. He then proceeded to tell them what happened.
"Oh MR. Sayan, I don't know if you heard, but Madam Sholeh screamed in anger. Someone prowled at her tree and stole all the lizards and berries she had gathered." Warren explained, hoping there was something he could do. When Sholeh was angry, it was practically impossible to reason with her, and whoever was the culprit, there was no doubt she would want revenge.

Guardian sighed and said "well if someone gets killed their blood will be on your paws." and left to investagate.

Guardian sighed and said "well if someone gets killed their blood will be on your paws." and left to investagate.

Sybil became quite furious when Guardian said that.
"Heck, now I know where Crocux gets his offensiveness!" Sybil said, throwing the signs to the sand and following him. The first thing was to see Sayan and see how he was with Rose. Perhaps he also heard the scream and as soon as he tied arose was going to investigate, so Sybil rushed to this den to catch up to him.

Sholeh looked for Sybil at her tree, but realized she wasn't there. This made her even more furious. Not wanting to wait for her, she headed to her own tree, desperate to clean it up and see if the culprit returned to the scene of the crime. One thing was for certain; she wasn't going to forgive whoever profaned her beloved home.

Crocux reached Sheloh's tree "ok the scream came from here now were-" but when he saw the tree he froze. He had a look that said that he saw a ghost glued to his face.

Guardian smirked he knew that what he said would get Sybil angry and make her fallow. But he was hurt by her words, even though he knew she was right he still did it. He hoped Crocux doesn't find out otherwise he would never be able to live it down.

Sholeh arrived and was just behind Crocux. She was normally very terrified of the crocodile, unaware of his fondness for mongooses, but she was so full of anger and hatred that she had even forgotten that feeling!
"Out of my way long-snout! I got a tree to clean and a thief to kill." she said furiously, not even caring if he was a potentially deadly animals to her kind.

"Now where do you think that sound came from?" Sybil asked, having been too far to actually have heard that it was a scream from none other than the mongoose that hated her.

"Oh MR. Sayan, I don't know if you heard, but Madam Sholeh screamed in anger. Someone prowled at her tree and stole all the lizards and berries she had gathered." Warren explained, hoping there was something he could do. When Sholeh was angry, it was practically impossible to reason with her, and whoever was the culprit, there was no doubt she would want revenge.

"I heard the scream... and I can't believe someone would do that to Sholeh. Especially now.," Sayan said shaking his head. "Alright-- I'll see what I can do. Sorry to leave you again, Rose." he then said finishing up the last knot.
As agreed upon, he was provided enough vine so that the tiger would have some leeway. However, Rose certainly couldn't stray too far from the den any longer and sadly couldn't aide him in his investigation. He hated leaving her like this.

As Warren lead Sayan to Sholeh's tree, he was very happy that he was willing to help, even if Sholeh wasn't the most popular being in the Haven.
"I appreciate this Monsieur Sayan. I know you guys don't like Madame Sholeh, but she has a good heart... more or less. She's just too full of hatred to show it. The poor Madame. She spent almost two weeks gathering food for the drought. And as if that wasn't enough, the fence we built to keep her protected is destroyed. Who would do such a thing!?" Warren asked, knowing the it was vital to found a culprit before Sholeh started to blame everyone in the Haven for her misfortune.

He almost didn't notice Sheloh but when he did he said "wait! Don't clean it up until my dad gets here. He's gonna wantto see this. If my suspisions correct i might know who did this."

"I don't know, but I promise we'll get to the bottom of this.," Sayan replied. "I can tell you it wasn't Rose nor Sybil. Rose is still herself today and I can personally vouch for Sybil's activities.," he confirmed at least taking off two potential suspects.

Sybil reached Sayan's den, and found to her secret relief that Rose was tied up. But there was no sign of Sayan.
"Hey Rose. Do you know where Sayan went?" she asked, I shining that he already left.

Sholeh didn't know what to believe when he said that the culprit could be discovered, but didn't like the fact that she had to leave her tree in that mess.
"So you expect me to leave my home like a garbage dump!?" she asked furiously, facing him do the first time. She didn't care if Crocux could overpower her so easily, she wanted revenge. She didn't even notice the unusual spy, which was something she could normally caught on recently.

Warren knew they couldn't be the culprit, since Rose couldn't have climbed that tree and Sybil was just too nice to be a thief.
"Well we better find out who did it before Madam starts pointing at all the wrong beings." Warren warned, knowing Sholeh's temperament too well.

Crocux sighed "well i didn't say that. I said to hold off on cleaning up until my dad gets here. You don't need to wait for long."

Sayan nodded in agreement. "I hope someone else isn't beginning to lose their instincts or resulting to stealing to feed themselves.," he then said worried.

Warren was impressed, never having reached that conclusion. Stealing was definitely a way to survive, but it was a very unfair one.
"Droughts are the worst." Warren complain, speaking for everyone else, since he didn't have a problem feeding off dead animals in the outback.
"We better find whoever did it first. Madam Sholeh would most certainly want to kill whoever is responsible." he then said with a lot of worry, sill remembering with shame her last vengeful rampage and how he followed her without question.

Crocux sighed "well i didn't say that. I said to hold off on cleaning up until my dad gets here. You don't need to wait for long."

Crocux's certainty gave Sholeh a bit of confidence, but with her calmness, her fear for him was also returning.
"So... I suppose I should remain here and wait for your... father" she said with a sour tone.
"You ain't going to do anything to me, are you?" she asked in a rather shaky voice, believing just like Sybil that the carnivorous animals just like him were going to rebel against everyone like Rose was doing...

Quote: Spyroconvexity

"He went with Warren to Sholeh's tree." Rose said.

"Sholeh?" Sybil asked, though not surprising her if the mongoose was responsible for whatever latest disturbance there is.
"Alright. Thanks Rose." she said, heading to the mongoose's home, and feeling a bit bad for leaving Rose alone.

Sybil rushed there, and to prevent the cobra from getting left behind, she carried him. Sholeh's tree wasn't that far, so she ran towards there, hoping to reach before the sun hid completely.
