Ooc: oh my

Shi fallowed Sozen and said "well lets wait till morning. We wont find much in the dark and we could use some sleep."

OOC: This RP may require more than just the occasional post to keep up, Pwnage.
Your last post was on page 23 and since then... Rose was tied up in Sayan's den (remember: They're mates now.), a deal was made with Sholeh, some signs were placed to warn residents from the potentially hungry orcas, Terrance Jr. arrived to ransack Sholeh's tree, and Cairo is getting antsy over in the Antarctic. Sholeh is none-too-happy about the ransacking and Sybil still needs to place a few more signs. That's about where we're at now.

Over at their den, Sayan laid down besides Rose-- not afraid of the tiger's instincts potentially emerging.

OOC: redwes just covered it wonderfully. It's so great that you have such a detailed pacing of the story This RP has proven it's for those who are on the site occasionally.

Sholeh wanted to find the culprit urgently, but with her state, she would be useless in the search.
"I agree with the little bird. We can search tomorrow, but I need a place to stay." Sholeh said, thinking of staying at Sozen's cave for the night. It was a bit cold, yet cozy. It surprised Warren that Sholeh would have given up the search when she was normally impatient about things like that, but attributed it to her exhaustion. It has been a long day for her after all.

Ooc: Thanks that really helps. Sorry I haven't been active as much... a lot is going on in my family right now and I didn't have time for dS.

Heede was hunting for more fish. He was not as hungry as the others yet, but he knew he would be soon.

Zurtrel was at the bottom of the ocean also hunting for fish. He tried to avoid the orcas at the surface who were cruel to him most of the time.

"Very well. Do you want to stay at my place for the night?" Sozen said.

"Yes. That would be ideal!" Sholeh said, happy that it went according to plan. She opened her eyes for th first time after the attack, but she still couldn't see anything. She felt so hopeless, but she trusted that the venom was temporary as it was told. She was looking forward for a peaceful night, and wishing the worst wishes for whoever dared to mess up her tree and put her at risk at being hunted and starve to death.

Shi wasn't too sure about her staying with her and Sozen "well i'm sure your home isn't that bad of shape. Even if it isn't we can all help clean up. No one should be their now so it should be nice an peacful their now."

Sholeh wondered why didn't bothered Shi for her and Warren to stay, but then remembered that Rose and Sayan weren't the only latest couple.
"Oh we don't bother. Warren and I will just get to a corner where we won't be in the way. It won't be a problem." she assured, not wanting to get involved in the annoying love.

Once again in the Antarctica, Cairo was still restless, but then Ellen, who still wasn't asleep yet, came with so e news that her brother Randy just discussed with her.
"Oh Boss. It's is terrible! We did a counting of the pod, and we are missing some members!" she said, really altering the big orca.
"Marylin's brother... I think he stayed behind. And Jhen was with us, but Dagger says he hasn't seen him here. I think he may have gotten lost or probably returned to the Haven." she explained, making Cairo quite furious. But then, he believed it was the perfect excuse to return to the Haven."Alright Ellen. Now more than ever, you need to be in charge. The pod respects you and you are quite strong yourself. I really should have payed attention. Give my regards to the pod. I'm going to retrieve them." Cairo said, and to his relief, Ellen obliged. Finally, he had the excuse he needed to return to the Haven. In his mind, he was prepared to go through all the hunger necessary, he just wanted to stay and be of service, since he believed he was more capable of that than Jet.

Shi still didn't feel to comfertable about it, and it wasn't Warrin's smell i mean he wasn't anywere near a bad as Crocux's breath and Shi should know since she cleaned Crocux's mouth at least once a week. She gave up and agreed to let them stay their "ok you can stay with us and in the morning we can go to your tree to see if the theif left any cluesas to who it was and maybe were they went.

"It's a deal." Sholeh said, liking it better when Sozen was alone. She didn't want to have to deal with they pathetic, recent love.

Returning way south to where the pod was resting, both Ellen and Cairo manage to take down a young Weddel's seal for him to eat, so that he could prepare for the long voyage home. But after he had his meal, Ellen was beginning to have doubts.
"Wait boss. Maybe you shouldn't do it. A drought is serious business. You could starve to death if you decide to stay. And miss Sybil will scold you badly if she sees you returning." she warned, knowing that a lone orca, no matter how big, could be endangered by animals like a group of sharks.
"You're right Ellen... but... I won't have any peace of mind if I don't go." he assured, pretending he was more worried about the other orcas than Sybil. He was just too stubborn to change his mind. So with a full stomach, he headed towards the same route the pod took, wanting to return home. He has always been a survivor in even the most desperate situations, so he truly believed that a drought was something he could also take.

Avius looked at Sybil, "Well, we can talk if you've got plenty of time and nothing going on, cause I was hoping for a causal, introduction type of chat."

Sybil was relieved, since she thought he was going to talk about an emergency of sort, but all he wanted was some proper introduction.
"Oh, is that all? Well, there isn't much to tell. You see, I was born in this zoo you see, and believing I was the last of my kind, I was being transported to a better one. But a shipwreck occurred and I ended up here, managing to befriend both the birds and the orcas. And since this island has many different habitats, well, that's when it occurred to me to inaugurate a Haven." Sybil explained, believing she told the most important parts, and waiting for Avius to tell his own story to be even.

"Oh, we're telling our backstories already? Okay, but I don't really have anything to tell on the subject ... I woke up here with amnesia, knowing only my name and such. It's Avius, by the way, not Anvius." Avius replied, settling into a spot.

"I thought you wanted a detailed introduction." Sybil said, a bit embarrassed for misunderstanding.
"Amnesia... that sounds serious. I'm not sure if anyone here can help you, but at Hunted island, there is a wombat who has wonderful medicine. He might be able to help you." Sybil said, feeling bad for letting Whirlpool with another task, but she couldn't think of anyone else perfect for the job.
"You can fly there anytime if you want. Just be patient with him though. He has a speech impediment." she explained, knowing how much patience talking with Whirlpool required.
"His name is Whirlpool. And... remember that when you fly there, try it to be as far from the water as possible." she then warned, though Avius probably knew the reason for that since he helped her carry the signs.

Jhen's hunger grows worse as he struggles to feed. Still he is determined to fight his instincts. He will not allow himself to hurt someone. In order to do this however, he avoids any contact with anyone, except perhaps Jet, who is his pod leader.

AJ:

With all that has happened I remain asleep, not having any idea about anything that has happened, knowing only there is a drought. Tears stream down my face as I think of the only true family that I've had, Chica, the dingoes... It hurts me to have nothing, no one that feels that way toward me. I miss Chica, Odette and that nice male dingo. However I miss Chica, the most because she is the one that took me in after "IT" happened. She is precious to me.

Avius nodded, "Thanks for the advice, even if I have no idea where to go. And yeah, I was just going to start off by telling you my name as if you never heard of it before." Avius chuckled at the last part.

"Avius or Anvius, they both sound nice, though personally, I think I like Anvius better." Sybil added, glad that even though he had amnesia, at least he remembered his name, which is very important to discover one's identity.

Shi was glad that she and Sheloh were starting to get along. "come on Sozen we better not keep them waiting."

OOC: Hey guys! HAPPY 2016

Sholeh didn't mind how she had to tolerate Shi's presence. She just wanted to be well rested for tomorrow so that she could recover her sight and catch the scoundrel that messed with her own survival.

At a palm tree, Sybil made a temporary home, monitoring the sea until she gets sleepy. Despite the palm not being uncomfortable, it wasn't as cozy as her tree, but it'll do. She was hungry, but she held on. At least she wouldn't hunt her Haven friends, but it upset her the vast number of them that could hurt her easily if they gave up to their instincts.

Avius ruffled his wings at Sybil's remark about his name, but then said, "Anyway, what do you do for fun?"

Shi smiled a bit "please make yourselves comfortable."

Over at his den, meanwhile, Sayan did all he could to make his mate comfortable. Despite Rose's bonds and the potentially emerging instincts-- the upcoming days and weeks would only serve to bring the two closer together.

Sholeh fell asleep very quickly, having nothing to do being blind. She wanted revenge very badly, and the thought of success was what made her sleep soundly.

Avius ruffled his wings at Sybil's remark about his name, but then said, "Anyway, what do you do for fun?"

Sybil wasn't sleepy, and welcomed his company, so she decided to talk.
"Well, pretty much whatever we wanted, but our main fun was to sit around the shore and try to avoid the playful pod of orcas that use to be here. We would also test our sturdiness if they caught us." Sybil explained, deeply missing them.
"They left for the drought, and only three remain, which is why we must stay away for real this time." She added, imagining that he knew the reason for that.

Rose's claws started to come out and her hair stood on end. "Sayan can you give me a hug? I feel that urge again."

Sayan nodded and gave the tiger a tight embrace, just as he had done before. "Anything.," he said with a smile.

Shi was glad that Sheloh was sleeping soundly and decided to get some sleep herself, so she went next to were Sozen was sleeping and lyed down next to him.

Avius gave a nod, "Sounds interesting, except the part about the dangers and drought. They're big, right?"

"The danger and drought you mean?" Sybil said, not sure of what he meant.
"The only dangerous place here is the outback due to the many dingos there. And about the drought, well, you should ask the cockatoos on that island over there." she then said, pointing out Hunted island.
"This is the first drought I have experienced since I moved here." she added, clearly not having any experience about the event.

Sybil continued talking with Anvius for a while, when she began trusting him enough to go to sleep with him there. The conversation wore her off enough to get drowsy, and combined with the sound of the waves, she slept gently through the night.

Elsewhere at the ocean, and closer to the Haven, Cairo was returning home. He has been eating whatever he could hunt by himself, and encountering dangers as well, such as a big sea of venomous box jellyfish and a mother whale who mistook his approach as hostile. He even had a run with a violent mob of mako sharks, which he stealthy managed to escape from. I was quite a perilous journey. Even though Cairo was much bigger than the average orca, a lone individual was still dangerous. And he knew that if he planned to stay at the Haven, he had to learn to eat much less than he use to. He didn't think of the consequences that would bring staying there. He didn't even care if Sybil and Jet scolded him, he was too fond of the Haven waters, even at it's desperate time.

As Rose closed her eyes, so did Sayan. He fell slowly asleep, embracing and feeling the warmth of his mate.

Soon, Sybil woke up. The first tiny ray of the sun was appearing, and Sybil realized she had women up earlier. The ocean was calm (no sign of any orca whatsoever) and the forest was quiet. It was quite a pleasant day, even if the leaves of the palm tree were dry and easily falling. It was quite too bad that the ocean didn't have suitable water for the land plants. A look at Hunted island made her remember that Jack was still out there. And if the serval was already better, he would probably want to return. She wondered if she should risk calling an orca to take her there and fetch Jack. She got off the palm tree to ask Sayan at his den, and while at it, she was going to check on Rose...

Shilise soon woke up and went over to the cave entrance to watch the sunrise.

"Ah yes! It's good to be alive!" a sudden voice said for besides Shilise. It was Sholeh, who has woken up early as well, and her sight has fully returned. She was usually too bitter to find the sunrise even beautiful, but right now, it was something wonderful to behold.
"To see the world again! Ahh... you must be very lucky that you could get a better view by just spreading your wings and go wherever you want." she then said to the small bird, shockingly being nice to her for the very first time. She was never nice to anyone expect in some very rare moments when she wanted to manipulate someone, but that kindness was genuine and without something in return.

Shi smiled weakly "I'm glade to see that your feeling well Sheloh and yes normally that would be true but I have to avid flying to much though so I can't fly around were ever I wanted." she scooted over to let Sheloh sit down next to her if she wanted to get a better view.

"It's Sholeh." the mongoose assured, kinda returning to her rude voice.
"And it's not like you will fly into space or something. At least you get a better view of everything down." she added, returning to her rare kindness.

"sorry about that. though that isn't what I ment ether. but yea your right if you call seeing everything from on top of a crocs head then a better view."

Sholeh then remembered that Shilise acted like a dentist to Crocux, having witness it once when she was on top of Sozen, getting away from him.
"Oh yeah, I remember you and that croc have a strange friendship." she said, hiding the fact that she found disgusting how Shilise cleaned his teeth, so decided to say another thing.
"Aren't you afraid that he will close his jaws and eat you?" she asked, unaware that animals cleaning predator's teeth was a more common phenomenon than she believed.

Shi shook her head "it's actually a common thing for plovers to act as dentists for crocs. I used to be afried of Crocux doing that when I was little and he would close his jaws but he would only do that to try to scare me. he would never hurt me though."

"Well, I can see again, but that wouldn't help be now." she said, depressed, before turning to Shilise.
"And I wouldn't trust that croc anymore with this drought. Once it hits hard, it will make animals like him try to eat whatever... or whoever they can to survive." she said, having an eerily similar view to Sybil in that sense.
"I shouldn't care though. The imbecile who robbed me doomed me! I worked so hard on that fence and to gather the food for survival." she then added, now yesterday's fury returning to her. She simply believed that the culprit must have been long gone by now, and that she wouldn't have enough time to built another fence and gather whatever little food that was left. It was hopeless.

Shi nodded "yea, besides if anything the cuprit would have to still be at haven. a drought would force them to live were ever the most food is and the outback is no place for that. lets head back to your tree, i'm sure who ever did it must have left behind some clues as to what they are and maybe were they went. have faith."

Sholeh agreed with Shilise, knowing that she had a valid point. She waited for Sozen to carry her there. She saw Warren was still sleeping soundly at a corner, so she believed it was better to leave him alone for the time being.

At Sayan's den, Sybil arrived.
"Good morning?" she said in a low voice, in case the pair was still sleeping.

"Morning.," Sayan said getting up shortly after Rose. "Did you sleep well?," he asked hoping the tiger was able to get some rest.
