It took several tries, but finally, the young male managed to catch Sayan, and dragged him forcefully into the water. They left Cairo play by himself for being the leader, and Dagger for being his first success, but as with Sayan, the young lad was going to share him among his group of friend. Another group remained her the shore, looking at AJ, wanting yet another resident to play with.

"Wah!" Rose was getting dizzy from getting slurped in and out. "Hey that tickles!"

Cairo then only left half of her body out, grasping her tightly to avoid her escape, and started shaking her severely to assure Rose knew what was coming to her once they returned. Like Dagger, he intensified his play, shaking the young tiger to the point where all you could see was an orange blur inside his mouth. If one listened carefully, you could hear Cairo practically purr with the happiness he was feeling. In that position, Rose couldn't have spoken if she wanted to, but fortunately, Cairo stopped after several minutes, and placed Rose on his back to talk to her.
"Whoo! It's is fun! You really are amazing miss Rose, allowing all this!" he said ecstatically, looking at the sky and realized it was early afternoon, meaning that he could still play some more.
"Ready for another round?" he said, gritting his teeth with excitement.

Further from there, Dagger was dragging Sybil closer to the marine bird's home, so that he could have more space and privacy during his play. Like Cairo, he could see that it was still early, and that he could play with Sybil for hours more if he wanted to. Poor Sybil was so exhausted, but kept her inner promise on not to say anything. Her eyes couldn't focus anymore, and many of her muscles weren't responding her, so she didn't struggled. She simply let go, knowing that since Dagger was without supervision, he was still going to treat her severely rough.

AJ: Still trembling, but wanting to do something to forget about it, I approach the shore. Most likely the waiting orcas will worry, why I am so scared and ask. Perhaps they know what happened to Shadow? My entire body shakes as I make my way over to join in the game. None of Cairo's group know what happened to me.

Meanwhile Jhen is out hunting for food. A member of Cairo's pod knows a secret. Jet is Jhen's dad and Jhen is Jet's only child that he believed he had lost so long ago. What are they going to do.

OOC: Have you agreed with Spyroconvexity about that Jhen story? Remember that you can't create stories like that about his character without his approval.

The young orcas could see AJ in a gloomy state, but assumed it was because he was still getting over the war, and that all he needed was a little shake. A young female quickly went to the margay and managed to capture him very easily. She dragged him into the water, humming at her victory, and disappeared with him underwater, getting ready for the roughest game she could think of.

"I-I'm a-always ready for another round!" Rose said still keeping up her great endurance. She like Sybil was gettingtired but didn't show it.

Cairo could tell that Rose was tired, and if it wasn't for the fact that he only had today to play, he would have stopped. Rose would have a long time to rest later on, so after her approval, he threw her into the water, surrounding her like a shark, tackling her, throwing her and dragging her everywhere, and occasionally shaking her very roughly. He continued like this for several hours, nonstop. He had a very large meal just before reaching the Haven, so even after that much time, he still had energy to spare. Now Cairo was acting pretty much like Dagger, seeing Rose as his personal toy.

Sybil still wasn't having it easy. Dagger was still as rough as ever, doing everything Cairo was doing to Rose and more. He would even throw Sybil towards a direction to the point where she did somersaults and she would look like nothing but a lifeless plush toy. Sybil bravely continued to endure all of it, but she was now closing her eyes so that she wouldn't see everything going in circles.

With Sayan, things weren't going to be any different. The young male that caught him threw him to his friends, and they all took turns to stir him up. Unlike Sybil and Rose, Sayan had to endure the tumbling of six different orcas, who shook him and throw him up with little to no difficulty at all. They knew they had to return that very day, so they won't let Sayan escape for a long while.

OOC: If that's so, then it's alright.

Cairo saw that it was now afternoon. But the sun was still up, and Cairo wasn't going to stop until the sun was gone. Every second of daylight counted.
"Hmm, you don't seem like you're going to flinch. Well, the sun is still up, so..." Cairo said, grabbing Rose by the waist and shaking her even harder than before, then throwing her in the air and shaking her roughly every time.

Dagger was getting tired himself, but like Cairo, he wanted to take advantage of what was left of the daylight. He continued to shake and throw Sybil rather violently, wanting to forever memorize his first time in the game.

Sayan was probably going to receive the worst part, since like Dagger, they weren't going to be supervised. They were six orcas, strong and full of energy, and they could throw very far and shake prey very roughly. They dragged Sayan everywhere, without stopping and with very little mercy.

AJ was about to receive some of the same treatment as well, but the young female was quite annoyed on how gloomy AJ was and how easily she had captured him. It was like he didn't even tried to get away.
"Come on little cat. Show some spirit! It's no fun if you don't at least struggle." the young female said, grasping him tightly with his mouth and shaking him very hard to make him at least try to get away.

AJ: "Whoa! Alright who has me now? Sorry I was troubled about something. I'm alright now, thanks for your concern. So you think I'm easy huh? Well..." I start to tickle the roof of her mouth with my tail.

The young female didn't seem very amused by this, thinking it was fowl play.
"Hey, that's playing dirty." she said, in a both annoyed and playful tone, letting him go for a second and grabbing his tail, throwing him around and then shaking him up to make him dizzy. The fact that AJ was so fluffy motivated her play even further, grasping either his tail or his leg and shaking his entire body so that AJ's surroundings would get blurry. And with every moment that she caught him, she shook him more intensely.

"Well, if you weren't so small..." Cairo said teasingly, continuing his extremely intense play. Even though he was a rather old orca, he had the energy of a child. This went on for the next two hours, without giving Rose or himself a time of rest, when finally with sadness, he realized that the sun was setting, and it was time for him and the pod to return to their temporary home.
"Oh, not fair! Miss Rose... it's almost night... you know what that means, right?" he said, grasping Rose to demonstrate that he would rather stay.

Dagger in the meantime, seemed like he still had infinite energy. Sybil, even with her blurry, now almost blind eyesight, could see the orange sky.
"Dagger! Dagger dear, this is enough. Look. It's almost night." she said, making Dagger very depressed.
"Oh such bummer! Time flies too fast!" he complained... when he had an idea.
"Hey miss Sybil. Why don't you come with me? Please, to play with me." he said with adorable eyes, but even though he begged and begged, Sybil knew that wouldn't be possible.
"Dagger please, you know I can't go there. I... would if I could, but listen, I promise once you return, you can play with me all you like." she said, with Dagger knowing he would miss that game terribly, but knew he couldn't force Sybil to come with her, at least not without the adult's permission. He made sure Sybil would keep that promise, and with all settled, he prepared to leave the beaten up civet to shore.

"Of course..." Cairo said with a bit of a moan. However, his fun wasn't over yet.
"... but miss Rose. It's a long way to that temporary home. I need something to keep me going. You know, fuel? You think I could..." Cairo said with a thoroughly look to Rose, not being done with her.

Cairo chuckled, seeing that Rose didn't quite understand him. He then smiled, wanting to make her nervous.
"But he would come too... eventually." Cairo said, swimming in circles around Rose, and looking at her not as differently as he looked at prey...

Cairo had drifted from the Haven shore and away from the pod, but nonetheless, he gave Rose a head start. After she was a few yards away, he sank deep underwater, leaving an eerie quiet all around Rose. The water was deep, so nothing could be seen below, but he was in there, somewhere, ready to strike Rose. He didn't attacked immediately. He waited for Rose to paddle for a little while more to build up the suspense...

Cairo was very fond of Rose, but he couldn't help playing her a prank as conclusion of his rough play. Like a humongous black and white torpedo, Cairo appeared with his mouth open underneath Rose, grabbing her by the belly.
"It looks like you weren't fast enough Rose." Cairo taunted, placing her further and further into his mouth, when he started swallowing her. Yep, it was that famous trick of his, only this time, Rose went much further down than last time, until she was only inches away from his stomach. He made the trick much more extreme, and he wanted Sayan to be the first, but since it was Rose the one who caught, she had to be the first victim...

Just before reaching the stomach, Rose continued moving, but in the other direction. Cairo chocked and coughed several times, until finally, he spat her out.
"Well, how do you like that? I've perfected the trick!" Cairo said with a snicker, imagining that he gave Rose the fright of her life. He had been practicing with large chunks of meat back in the Antarctica so that he could give the Haven residents quite the scares hen he played again.

Cairo swam below her and gave her a ride to the Haven before answering.
"Seriously my little Rose, I can't believe you thought that was real." Cairo said, though realizing it may have been a but too much.
"Remember what you said earlier; you trust me. I would never do anything to harm you. You know that. I was just giving you a little suspense." Cairo assured, though now he was worried that with that little stunt, Rose may develop some fear of him.

Back at the Haven shore, after much hesitation, Dagger finally left Sybil at the shore, needing to push her into the sand since she could barely walk.
"Sorry if I was a little hasty miss Sybil." Dagger said, a surprise considering he was too proud to apologize to anybody.
Thank you so much for the fun. I'll try not to be so hard the next time." he then said, seeing Sybil all wobbly and hurt making him feel bad. The civet was almost blind and was moaning with pain, but yet he answered Dagger.
"I would appreciate it. And don't worry young Dagger. Your family has done so much for me and the Haven, so don' feel bad." she said, though really hoping Dagger would go easier on her the next time.

This made Cairo smile, but still, he was starting to feel guilty.
"Do you really think I would eat you?" he asked, knowing that his species was very feared among too many animals, and he didn't want Rose to fear him too because of some naughty prank.

At the beach, Sybil was trying very hard to walk. She couldn't even see the six orcas behind her, giving Sayan the beating of his life. She tripped and crashed with the nearest palm tree, her eyesight being very poor at the moment, She couldn't even see the destroyed forest now, though fortunately, this near blindness wasn't permanent.

With AJ, things weren't over yet. The young female didn't placed him in his mouth anymore. She simply grabbed him by the tail or paws and shook him many times, for several minutes, until her mother called her and revealed to her that it was time to go. The really disappointed her, though she obeyed. Instead of giving AJ a ride like Dagger with Sybil and Cairo with Rose, she continued to shake him all the way to the shore...

Cairo lowered his head, evidently ashamed.
"Well, I guess I went too far with the prank huh? I'm sorry. I didn't want to terrify you like that. If you don't want me to do it again, then just say so." Cairo said, willing to not do it again if Rose asked him to. It was quite painful how Rose really thought he was going to go through with it, which meant that she didn't completely trusted him just yet. He did wanted to scare her a bit, but not to the point of traumatizing her.

Cairo smiled, but it was a very small smile. He felt like Rose was trying too hard to make him feel better. As he swam, he almost forgot about his guilt when he saw the six teenagers still playing with Sayan, who now looked more dead than alive.
"Hey! HEY!" Cairo yelled, having their full attention now.
"Come on children! I know you are having fun, but leave the poor leopard alone now. It's time to go." he said, with the teenagers now realizing how late it was. It felt like such a short time, since Sayan took too much time to catch. Not wanting to be against Cairo, they let him take the half-conscious Sayan away to the shore, grabbing him gently by the head. It seemed like he had a very, very rough day, but that was to be expected from teenagers.

after a long day of work Crocux yells "all right everyone. that's enough for today. now go get some rest and be ready to work hard early tomarrow." he then headed to the beach to find Cairo show up. "I have to say Cairo while the punishment was fitting did you really have to do it in front of everyone?"

The warblers were satisfied with their work, and were looking for a long night's rest. Cairo on the other hand, wasn't happy at all with Crocux's comment. There he was, having gone through that intense play to make Rose forget all about Shadow, and Crocux just had to bring it up again.
"None of you left when you had the chance, did you?" he said as he placed Sayan on the sand and lowered his head to make Rose slide to the ground.
"It had to be done fast before that... lizard had second thoughts." he then added, trying to use a very polite tone, and somewhat succeeding.

Cairo didn't let Crocux's unpleasant comment get the best of him for Rose's sake.
"That's right. Let us please not bring that subject again." Cairo commented calmly, agreeing with Rose. He then realized it was only a matter of minutes before the sun completely hid.
"It is time miss Rose. I must gather the pod and return to the Antarctica. Say goodbye to miss Sybil for me." he asked, knowing that there wasn't time to say goodbye to everybody. Then with a nudge and a bow, he said goodbye to Rose, and retreated into the ocean, not to be seen again until the drought was over.

Meanwhile, Sybil remained in the same palm tree where she had crashed and tripped, too exhausted to continue. That felt like a pain that would last for days. Not only Sybil was almost blind with all the shaking, she was even missing patches of fur. Whoever saw her would think that she went though a torture chamber. Dagger was both brutal and violent with her.

Crocux shrugged "fine. on a lighter note I feel offended Cairo. out of all the time I've been in the haven and you never came along to play with me."

Cairo almost completely submerged under the water, but heard Crocux's comment and turned to answer him.
"You were busy today, weren't you? Besides, I heard you attacked one of our members when he tried to play with you." Cairo said, still in his gentlemanly tone. Him biting Raphael was quite the newsflash when it happened, which is why the pod avoided Crocux.

At another part of the beach, the young female that had AJ finally reached the shore, after shaking AJ like a rag doll all the way.
"Thanks for the fun kitty cat. But don't cheat next time." she said innocently, still not liking the way he tickled her before. She then retreated to reunite with her mother and the rest of the pod.

(he didn't attack Ricky and Rumble. he attacked only one of the pod. he got a cramp when he played with Ricky and Rumble and had to go to shore) "oh dear I forgot to clear that up with Raphael. no you miss understand, at the time I saw Jack in the boat over their" he gestured to the old boat "and I needed to get closer to know if it was him or not. it was and it was a good thing too. if I hadn't acted then Jack would've died out at sea. I didn't want to hurt anyone but the issue came up and after words I tried to find Raphael to explain but couldn't find him since."

OOC: You're right. Got things mixed up

"Well, you should have just said so. He would have let go." Cairo then explained as calmly as possible, hating animals that attacked first and ask questions later.

Many of the warblers didn't have a home to return to, so some of them remained nearby to see the conversation between Cairo and Crocux. It was common knowledge that there was some bad blood between them.

Crocux felt ashamed though "I know, but when I didn't see anyone steering the boat I panicked. I thought that he was starving and was to weak. I was scared." he had a depressed look and was jenuanly sorry.

Cairo then saw the sky, and realized the sun was almost completely gone.
"Well, whatever. It's getting late anyways. We'll talk another time." Cairo said indifferently, finally retreating into the ocean to the waiting pod. He didn't like Crocux much, but nevertheless, he tried very hard not to show it.

Sybil was now sleeping on the same spot where she collapsed, wanting to forget the tremendous beating she had received. Those were painful hours. Dagger treated her much more roughly than Cairo, Jet, or any other orca had ever done. And he was still a child, she didn't want to imagine the massacre she would go through once he was a teenager.

Crocux could tell Cairo didn't like him much. he had every right not to, Crocux made a terrible first and second impression and was getting depressed. he didn't want the pod to fear him, he didn't want anyone to fear him. "Cairo please do me a favor and tell Raphael I'm sorry and I want to talk to him went you get back after the drought."

Cairo heard him, but that wasn't his responsibility. He would wait for him to tell Raphael in person. Now finally with the pod reunited, it was time to go. They would miss their home terribly, and they were going to pray for the Haven residents, so that they could get over the destruction of their homes and survive the terrible drought that was still showing it's effects. As they gathered near the impossible current. It was getting dark now, and Light beach was beginning, making the orcas even more gloomy that they would miss it. Before leaving, Cairo meet up with Jet and made him an offer.
"Hey Jet. The pod is all here. And look at you! You and the other two can come with us. We can help you travel the current and come with us." Cairo said, imagining that the Haven residents couldn't enjoy Light Bach in fear that Jet and the others would attacked them out of extreme hunger.

AJ: "Your wel..." Without another word, I collapse on the shoreline, after a fun, but tiring game. Falling asleep right then and there, I do not notice the cool ocean ater soaking me to the bone.
Meanwhile within the incoming wave I am being hunted. Barely visible is Jhen. Starving, Jhen has been fighting against his hunger for some time, but it is too strong. Seeing me fall so close to the water, he moves in for the kill.

Crocux sees this and grabs hold of AJ and gets him out of their.

Since the pod was reunited along the current and Cairo was talking to Jet, nobody noticed Jhen making the deadly move. The event that Sybil was so terrified of was finally coming true.

The civet had rested for a few minutes, but then she opened her eyes, being reminded all of the sudden that Ravage was on the loose. She looked at the ocean and could see that it was practically dark, and the orcas probably left by now. As she looked at the calming waves, she could see something along the shoreline. She was close to AJ, and immediately recognized his ears and fur color, and she didn't like the way he was just lying there.
"Hey AJ. AJ! Come on cat! What are you doing lying just like that?" she called, approaching him to wake him up, when Crocux and Rose escorted him out. She didn't noticed the dorsal fin approaching the shore... an orca... that wasn't going to play...

Not far away, the half-conscious Sayan was starting to come to. "Teenagers..." he half mumbled when he noticed the collapsed AJ. "AJ?...Is he alright?," he said not entirely aware of what had happened or the incoming danger.

"He's alright. He's just sleeping. Good thing Crocux picked him up. The tide is rising." Sybil replied, still not noticing the real danger.
"Gosh. Looked at you! You seemed like you went through a turmoil!" Sybil exclaimed after looking at Sayan.

"Well-- at least they had fun...," Sayan said referring to the teenage orcas. He gave a slight smile, glad to have given them that chance.

Sybil smiled back, imagining that Sayan knew what was in store.
"Well Sayan. That was just a preview. After we are done with this infernal drought, they will come back. And they will want to play. I just can't say no to them. We owe them our lives." Sybil expressed, knowing that she had to be eternally grateful to the big marine animals, even if that meant spending their entire lifetime being their live chew toys.

Ravage was still their. he just sat their waiting, for what not even he knows. Crocux smiled "all in a days work." though he tried to be cheerful he wasn't able to hide a note of sadness in his voice.

Sybil took a look at Crocux and simply waved at him, though she was still angry at him for stupidly confronting Shadow that morning and nearly having himself killed. She noticed he was in a very depressed state, though she wrongly assumed it was because of that. She stayed to talk to Sayan for a bit longer, even after noticing Ravage. She remained there, but keeping a close eye on him.
