OOC: Yeah; I hate it when that happens. They're such cool characters, too(and good RPer's).


"Wow, that's a lot to keep track of," Speckles stated scratching his head. "Slyther... I'll remember that. Skaliscin will be thrilled; she's really into the slippery type. Especially reptiles."
The velvet worm's antenna raised a bit. He glanced around jerkily.
"Speaking of which, where is she? She should be around here, by now," he asked to no-one in particular, looking worried.

Just then, Sybil came rushing towards the Tasmanian Tiger and Velvet worm, almost knocking the poor little worm unconscious, "Sorry..." she shouted (although those knocks were becoming quite a routine), heading rapidly towards the beach, It looks like the Malabar civet was in yet another hurry. She seemed so busy lately...

I yawn and look around as I wake from my sleep. I cringe as I try to stand but cannot. I clutch my side and wait for us to reach the sanctuary.

Ooc: she was nly half caught in the first place!

Chica wandered about.

"BSHAAHHH!!" Speckles cried as he was batted back by the civet's "tiny" paws, before he could reply to Stripes's reassuring statement.
When the worm brushed the dirt of his face, he couldn't help screaming "What, is this some sort of a routine with you?! Watch where you put those clumsy clogs of yours!"
Almost instantly, the velvet worm deeply regretted it. He really hoped that Sybil was out of earshot when he had hollered those remarks.
"Uh," he mumbled, glancing back at the other animals, looking very ashamed.

Fortunately, Sybil was either too far away or not paying attention to that last comment. She needed to get to the beach right now. Cairo was waiting...

Finally at the shore, the humongous Orca leader was standing there, waiting for the mistress's orders. "Right now Cairo. This is the last straw. I never thought humans could access this place, but as we could see, they can arrive by air. I doubt they will remain silent, so gather all the birds you can and tell them..."

After a little quick though, Sybil knew that traveling around the word, searching for critically endangered animals was hard and risky enough, now to find birds to protect the skies and being capable of damaging machinery was even more dangerous. Fortunately, she knew the type of bird ideal for the job. "Keas.... Yes, KEAS. They are small, but strong. Reunite the birds Cairo, tell them to go to New Zealand and gather all the Keas they can. We need sky guardians now." It was on times like this that Sybil was grateful to have learn a lot of stuff while in captivity...

Without further ado, Cairo started his familiar call, gathering the warblers, pelicans and seagulls from around the Island. It looks like their days of resting from those long, world-wide trips were cut off short...

Ooc: where is everyone anyway?

OOC: In the forest... or swamp.

OOC: I found this near the bottom of the page; it must not be!

Ooc: it's not dieing

OOC: I'm just being cautious; no-one posted for almost two days.
Now, on with the RP!


Speckles felt even more discomfort when no-one replied. Another thought occurred to him, and a wave of embarrassment washed over him like the salt water at Light Beach. He had publicly shown his concern for Skaliscin! The velvet worm could tell that very few inhabitants here enjoyed the serpent's company, and if they knew that he was friends with her, there's no telling how they might react to him!
Speckles coughed awkwardly, and slowly crawled a few inches away, trying to avoid eye contact.

--

Swiftly and silently, Skaliscin slithered down the tree trunk and darted through the underbrush, leaves and bushes rustling as she went. She was sensitive to vibrations, and Cairo's deep voice definitely made some pretty noticeable sound waves. The serpent knew it was him; he was the orca who carried her and Speckles to the island.
Speckles...
Suddenly, she halted, and worry clenched at her gut. The humans were gone; she had heard the brrrrring of their helicopter. But that didn't mean they hadn't done any damage during their stay.
Skaliscin pushed that thought away; they wouldn't come here just to hurt Speckles. She continued to slither across the forest floor, and soon the sandy beach. She wanted to find out was was going on with Cairo and... who was that by the shoreline...
"S-s-s-sybil!" she cried out, as unnecessary as it was, as she had already reached the civet. "What's-s-s going on? Are they coming by s-s-s-sea too?"

Chica came to the beach, stil wondering what to do

OOC: Sorry I was absent for a while. My crappy Internet was giving trouble again...

Sybil wasn't startled by the serpent's sudden appearance. She was glad she was finally overcoming her distrust for snakes. "Oh no Skaliscin." she answered. "The whirlpools around the island makes it impossible to access by sea... but... we can't say the same about the air." she then explained.

All the birds in the island were gone, even the bitter Yodel. Theodore and Amy were the only messenger birds remaining. "Don't worry now. Almost every birds has volunteered to recruit Keas to guard our skies.." she finished her explanation, trying to calm the nervous snake and trying to make her spread the news to the rest of the animals of the Haven.

Chica has noticed the civet and the snake and walked over to them "anything going on I should know" she asked.

"I am meaning to end the human threat once and for all." Sybil explained with a menacing tone of voice. "I sent the birds on a mission to recruit Keas. If it succeeds, we will have our guardians of the sky." she then explained to Chica, trying to calm down. She was a little frustrated of the facts that humans manage to penetrate the island...

Kallik walked around the forest.

"i see" chica said. "i just hope they dont succeed at destroying all of us" chica didnt want it to happen, then why did she just mention it?

Sybil was, for some reason, extremely offended by the comment, so without saying a words, she left towards the forest, leaving Chica on the shore...

Chica watched Sybil walk away.

Meanwhile Draco was still enjoying his swamp in the out backs.

Kallik answered back "Its just me, Kallik!"

Kona took a nap.

My new character:

Name: Pablo
Gender: Male
Species: Pygmy Hippo
Appearance:

Personality: Laid back, not bossy

Skaliscin nodded, convinced. When the civet walked away without any given reason, she turned her head to Chica.
"What's-s-s up with her?"

--

As the animals left, Speckles breathed a quiet sigh of relief. He hoped they hadn't suspected anything.
"Now to find out where she went," he said to himself, and began walking through the forest, looking for any trace of Skaliscin.
However, after a few moments, his thoughts trailed to a different matter, and he nearly forgot his quest. It was still broad daylight, and he wasn't a bit tired.
Strange, I'm usually not so diurnal. Must be the other inhabitants keeping me up, Speckles thought to himself, slightly amused.
It wasn't long before he unintentionally reached the swamp. He did notice the change in temperature and humidity, but suspected nothing else; he was in too much of a good mood to take notice of his usual paranoid urges.
"Feels nice here; very moist," the invertebrate noted, welcoming the wet climate of the marsh.
As he was breathing in the scent, the velvet worm had no acknowledgement of the direction he was crawling. Unwittingly, he smacked right into the scaly hide of Draco the Asian alligator. It wasn't very hard, but just enough for the semi-aquatic reptile to feel the small creature bumping into him.

OOC: Alright jennacat4, character accepted, although I usually prefer animals that are Critically Endangered

Sybil returned to her tree, climbing the solid barks of the plant. She entered the hole, wishing not to be disturbed by anyone. The island was very calm and quiet with nearly all her feathered friends away, so she found the moment perfect for relaxing and reflect about many thing. She then wished a little she didn't offend Chica by suddenly leaving her behind...

"dont know, it could be shock, since the humans" chica said shrugging, "I've been through shock before"

OOC: Okay. I'll see if I could find a critically endangered hippo.

OOC: I don't think there are, but never mind that, you can use the character...

In the hollow tree, Sybil fell fast asleep rather quickly. She lacked sleep with all these bizarre events and new guests, so she was exceedingly tired. She began dreaming about a little about her human caretaker, the only person who treated her so well, without seeing her as an object of exhibition. She then (in her mind), wondered that... if there are really good humans in the word, will they someday protect the island from those who mean harm? And how to distinguish them?

We finally reach the island and I limp onto the soft bench. I place a paw on the orca's head.
"Thank you for taking me here my friend, I think I'll be alright now. Arghh," I yowl in pain and fall to the ground unconscious.

OOC: Righto

Pablo noisily swam following the bird.

Ooc: he is some sort of cat. But wyrstel you took an awfully long time

Chica ran over to the animal. She picked it up by the scruff and carried it over to her cave, then went to find some herbs.

Soon she came back with some and started using them on the newcomer

OOC: My character is a margay.

I wake some time later and see a wolf beside me. My entire body is shaking like a leaf. I cannot even speak for no words come out whenever I try to. I am just so scared.

"relax." Chica said "your on the haven, your safe here" she continued tending to his wounds

Her soothing voice makes me relax. "They took everything from me, I lost everything," I say with tears in my eyes. As she works she uncovers scars from being in captivity and from human attacks.

Chica looks at these other wounds. She felt tears in her eyes as well. "the same thing happened to me" she said.

OOC: How about Chica and I know each other?

A collar glistens around my neck with a name Aeriji. I gaze at her and something about her seems familiar, but I don't know what. Floods of images bombard my mind as I try to think where I have seen her. I cringe as some wounds hurt more than others.

OOC: Stealthelfrocks, I don't think you read all of my post.

Pablo walked onto the island. "Thank you!" He said to the bird.

Ooc: I don't think I saw that. And wrystel sure we can know each other.

Draco turned his head to be inches away from the velvet worm's head, his snout large from the worm's point of view. "going somewhere" he asked

Chica looked closely at the collar. "aerigi.... Now where have I heard that name" Chica tout out loud and looked at the margay.

ooc: Felines can I make a new character sense my old one is fine now?

OOC: You can have any character you like... as long as you can keep up with them.

Quote: Wyrstel

OOC: My character is a margay.

OOC: So that means you have three characters; the hawk, the royal eagle and the margay, correct?

OOC: Actually I have six including the Elephant brothers that act as the guardians for the Haven.

OOC: Alright, I won't be picky anymore about the chosen animals. The intention was to have animals that are Extinct, but with rumored encounters, or Critically Endangered, but not seen for a long time.
The Thylacine is an animal that is considered officially Extinct, but there has been rumors about being seen by some people. The Imperial Woodpecker is considered Critically Endangered, but it hasn't been seen for a while, so some think it's Extinct. Animals like those were the ones I had in mind, but never mind that now.

Dusk was near, and a very cold breeze woke Sybil. She had a certain unease within her, so she left the comfort of her tree and started walking towards Light Beach. She was so stressed with the recent events, maybe the calmness of that beautiful beach would ease her worries...

OOC: Let's just say that some animals are just too desperate to stay around humans, and come regardless of the island's "policies".

Quote: Stealthelfrocks

Ooc: I don't think I saw that.

Draco turned his head to be inches away from the velvet worm's head, his snout large from the worm's point of view. "going somewhere" he asked.

OOC: It's fine; it happens to all of us.


Speckles completely froze over, his heart pounding. His mouth was wide open, and his antenna were unusually still.
Finally, after a few moments, he tried to reply to the alligator(which was massive in comparison), but could only let out a high pitched "eep".

Skaliscin was on the beach for a long time. She hadn't chased after Chica and the creature she took; it was clearly injured(by humans, no doubt), and she feared that her presence would scare the living daylights our of it.
Speaking of daylights, she noticed that the sky gradually turned into a light pink, the orange sun blazing over the ocean. It took some willpower to make her move on; she was oddly fatigued. As the serpent slithered down the shoreline, she was thinking about how diurnal she was becoming. Sybil was quite the day person, but civets are night-lovers. Aren't they?
Again, another strange coincidence happened. Sybil was walking across the shore as well, just a few yards ahead of her. Skaliscin quickened her pace to catch up with the Malabar civet, and slowed when she was nearly next to her. The snake decided against speaking to her; she look... stressed...
