[ About Us. ][/size]
[size=9pt]Everyone loves a good trip to the zoo. Seeing all the animals, petting the ones in the petting zoo, feeding the fish, even the occasional IMAX showing in the theater. Well that's exactly what this zoo is, they've got everything, a perfectly normal zoo. Well.. that's what the day keepers think. Every animal in this zoo isn't an animal at all. The owner of this zoo collects a special kind of 'shapeshifter' called Nocturnals by the few who have knowledge about them. During the day, yes they are normal zoo animals, but after the zoo closes at the early hour of 8 PM, they transform into their human bodies. Only the night watchmen and zookeepers know this and are sworn to secrecy by Mrs.Dale, the zoo owner. The zoo is in rural New York.[/size]

Based of Henry Doorly Zoo, Omaha

[ Rules. ][/size]
Ooc Rules~
[size=9pt]1. Please don't fight in the OOC because it's very unneeded and rude.
2. If you can, please have every post be at least two sentences. One liners are occasionally fine, but if you constantly keep doing them, I will give you a warning and have you take a break.
3. You can have up to three characters. If you would like to have more because you think you can handle it, please PM me.
4. No power-playing.
5. If you have a plot or something major, please PM me or post it on the chatting/plot thread, but also PM it to me.
6. Drama and romance is absolutely demanded, especially forbidden love (Nocturnal x Human) ! But when things get hot and heavy, fade it out. No one wants to see that.
7. Violence is also absolutely encouraged. It keeps the role play interesting and moving, just not to much.
8. If you need to get rid of your character for any reason, talk to me and we'll figure something out.
9. All kinds of romance is accepted. And absolutely no discrimination.
10. I have a two or one strike or you're out policy.
11. Swearing is allowed but try to keep it at a minimum, go ahead and swear, but not every other word.
12. For the form, please include a picture of your character in human form and in animal form if they are one of the Nocturnals.
13. Please try to be active. Its horrible when a good rp with good character fails because nobody posts on the RP thread.
14. Please try to keep the ratio of Nocturnals and Guards/Zookeepers even, and if possible try to make one Nocturnal and one Guard or Zookeeper.
15. Also try to keep the gender male/female ratio somewhat even as well. I don't want a million girls and two guys.
16. I will be playing Mrs.Dale with no form.[/size]

Ic Rules~
[size=9pt]1. The Zookeepers let the Nocturnals out of their enclosures at night, but there is not escaping the zoo. There will be consequences from Mrs.Dale.
2. Fighting during zoo hours will result in spending one to two nights your enclosure.
3. Every group of animals has its leader. If the leader orders something you respond. Group of animals meaning tiger, monkey, giraffe, wolf, not specifics like Siberian tiger, African Tiger. The leader is generally of the most well known sub-species
4. Nocturnals have to return to their enclosures by the time the morning shift arrives at the zoo.
5. There is no taking merchandise from the gift shops or kiosks.
6: Write 'Zoos Are Fun' in code section (optional)[/size]

Cryaeneus
Cryaeneus swam upward toward the above-water part of the town. He had moved from his home village to the capitol where the palace was approximately two years ago, he thought getting away from the sirens he grew up with would make him feel more comfortable in the society of the Water Realm. After a few minutes, his head breached the surface of the water and he took in a large breath of the air. Cry had heard an Elf from the Earth Realm would be arriving at the city to drop off an escaped prisoner to the prison in the city, and he wanted to be there when he arrived. Cryaeneus had always enjoyed Earth Land architecture and ships. From where he was, toward the edge of the city, Cry could see the ship in the distance and desperately wanted to swim forward but he knew there was a dangerous Siren on the ship and wasn't sure if he should approach the ship. He sighed, and attempted to ignore his own urges to leave the boundaries of the Water Realm I can't leave them. he thought determinedly.

Dakota
Dakota lay against Shea, her larger than average Snow Lion, who was laying against the wall in her mothers home. Dakota had returned home briefly for a visit to her home town. The small community was extremely hospitable toward her, and they welcomed her home with open arms. The whole community knew she wasn't going to stay long but they were glad as long as she was. Her dual daggers lay on the floor next to her in their sheath, alongside her swords sheath as she ran a cloth over the long blade. She was alone in the hut, her mother had left to hunt with a group that left a few hours ago. Once Dakota had finished cleaning her blade she slid it into the sheath and picked up all three, returning them to their places on her armor, before resting against Shea more comfortably.

She had been eleven when it happened. She never understood what it was, but after the accident, she wasn't...normal. She and her family had been on a plane, that, incidentally, had crashed into a nuclear power plant. Somehow, she had been the only survivor, even though she had at first died. Her heart had stopped, yet she suddenly awoke, gasping and...glowing? She had gazed upon herself, watching as her veins glowed a neon green, and even her eyes seemed to emanate with light. She had felt different somehow, stronger. At least, before she passed out again.

Afterward, she had her fame. She had somehow survived this freak plane accident, even though she seemed gravely injured. Despite all of her luck, her parents were dead. She then went to live with her godparents, along with her younger cousin. As she grew, she realized that the brief glowing blood was the tip of the iceberg. Somehow, with the combination of the radiation and her halted heart, she was now practically half ghost. She could fly, turn invisible and intangible, and she was still discovering more.

Always being a righteous and selfless person, Saoirse immedietly knew she could help people. So, when the electra girl emerged and began to wreak havoc upon the city, she knew it was her time to be a superhero. Thus, the age old rivalry began. Good against evil, along with a secret identity, of course. They fought eachother rather frequently, and even though Saoirse often semi-won, they both went home aching and feeling as if they had both lost. It was a rough business, but that was the life of a superpowered teen.

So, now as Saoirse levitated near her archenemy with her arms crossed over her chest, she felt a little tired. Tired of the constant pattern of it all, annoyed that her life was to consist of the same event nearly every week or so. Recently she had discovered a new ability, in which she could generate a plasma - like flame that could blast her enemy effortlessly. Thus far, it had proven inexorably helpful.

"Ugh, you," she replied, raising her eyebrows. "Got bored of causing power outages, electron?" She queried sarcastically, readying a plasma blast in her hands. She wore her usual superhero outfit, a white jumpsuit with neon green accents. Along with this, her eyes were glowing a radioactive green as they often did when she went superhero. Thankfully, the public never saw the similarities between the "Wraith" and Saoirse Farraige. She edged closer, revealing her glowing fists and her flickering between invisible and visible form. Let's dance, she thought, narrowing her eyes.

Eloura paced around her cage, there was about forty minutes until the zoo closed and they could finally change into their human forms. It's strange but when they did transform they always had the same outfit on, and its not like they have it on under their fur during the day. Eloura stretched, her large claws extending and scratching the rock that she normally laid on while releasing a great yawn, earning a few oooh and aaah from the kids and families watching from beyond the fence. Staying in animal form all day was tiring, and then staying up all night in human form was tiring as well. No wonder she slept all morning each day.

Ooc~ We are starting about 40-45 minutes before the end of the day/before they can transform. So she can be delivered then, at the end of the day.

Tes was shaking. She woke up in a dark inclosed space. She was crying as she looked at her human hands "Help!" she cried out "Help me!" She never felt more alone then now. Tes all of a sudden hit the ground. She tensed up. How long would she be in here? How long would she have to wait? All of these questions bounced inside her head.

Oz was beginning to clean up around the 'Big Cats' section of the zoo-- a place she would rather not be. The big cats were intimidating and always seemed angry. Well, at least, angry at her.
Her worker's hat was pulled down almost over her eyes, shielding her face from view of both humans and Nocturnals alike. The Nocturnals had probably already recognized and identified her, but it was comforting knowing they could get a clear look at her.
Ozzy was sweeping up old wrappers and gum and water bottles, nose wrinkled in disgust. Who carelessly dropped said items? If the young worker knew, she'd punch their teeth in.
Hearing the kids begin to gasp in delight, the Dane spared a glance over at a familiar cage only to see that Eloura was merely stretching. The janitor rolled her eyes and carried on sweeping.
The zoo was getting a new arrival today, and Oz wasn't sure whether to be excited or groaning. Right now, she was groaning.

Eloura had heard from the Day Keepers that the zoo was getting another large cat today, and she wasn't particularly happy about it. She was currently one of the only big cats in the zoo, of course they had others but they were at different facilities right now for 'research'. But that wasn't the reason Eloura wasn't happy, every time the zoo got a new Nocturnal they were scared, always asked questions, or asked why we hadn't escaped, or even worse tried to escape. Eloura had been through this so many times, her being one of the first animals at the park. When they released new animals in the park, it always happened at night so the other Nocturnals could get the new animal settled in, and the zoo keeper Robbie normally helped. He had been here a few years so Eloura knew him pretty well by now. Enough to know that he didn't approve of the way the Nocturnals were being held as zoo animals.

Robbie was already at work, an hour early. He was stationed in the keeper area behind the new large cat's habitat. He was across the room from the crate that held her, and he was the only one in the room. Unfortunately, Robbie could hear the poor girl crying for help. He felt sorry for her, he truly did. The new arrivals never understood that between the hours of 5:40 and 9:30 they were to stay in animal form. But any way, Robbie wasn't going to release her because he had to wait for night shift to release Eloura, currently the only other big cat, to give the new one a tour of the small Big Cat of the park, it was almost like a cul de sac.

Oz sighed, getting the last of another load and hefting it into a large yellow dumpster a ways back in the zoo. She swore she must be ripped from all the trash she lifted into that belittled dumpster every day. Though she had only been working a solid three weeks, she already felt like a weightlifting professional.
Putting away her gigantic broom, she tipped back her had and walked back out into the open, a ways away from the crowd but still able to get a view of the current attraction. Though the veteran Nocturnal did nothing, people in the crowd were snapping photos like it was the last day to live.
Oz thought it was ridiculous. She shoved her hands in her pockets, beginning to whistle absentmindedly as she leaned in the shade. She may be new, but she already felt as if she knew everything about the zoo. The big animals were scary, the little animals were stinky, the aviary was heaven, the elephants had been possessed by Satan, and that she had better start getting raises on Fridays.

Eloura sighed and rested her large head on her paws. She didn't understand why the visitors to the zoo found her so amusing, but that was probably because she was the attraction. Through the glass and over the crowd she noticed the new keeper Oz. Robbie had told her about Oz how she found the big cats frightening. She stood up and flexed her claws This could be fun she, hopped off the rock and roared loudly at the crowd, pretending to be showing off for them.

Robbie could hear from behind the enclosure across from Eloura's her roar. Robbie had specialized in large cats in college and now that was pretty much his permanent station. At first he thought it was just Eloura roaring but then he realized the new Keeper was working around the large cats on cleaning duty today.Poor Oz, he thought amused at his best friends antics..

From where Oz had been nodding off against the wall, any noise would have startled her. But seeing as this particularly loud roar came from a very large cat, Oz was completely and utterly started to the point of panic.
As soon as the roar sounded, Ozzy's whole body seized up and tensed, her hat slipping down to cover her face out of luck. The face underneath was pale and wide-eyed. Her arms now out at her sides and her posture unsteady. Quickly though, Oz recovered and reacted positively. She quickly readjusted her head, turned on her heel, and paced off towards the yellow dumpster. The dumpster and the aviary seemed to be her only places or serenity.
Ozzy's heart rate had yet to calm, and he had a hand gripping her chest as she tried to settle her breath. Needless to say, she has not been expecting that.
Normally, Oz would have completely lectured the nocturnal about her strong fear of loud noises, and continued further to chastise the cat about how people were around and that she was acting immature. But Oz was denied that opportunity. A: there were too many people around. B: she was simply too scared.
Big animals were loud, and anything loud was not something Ozzy waned to handle. Hence, the nicer, quieter company of the dumpster. It seemed as though the dumpster was the only one who knew how to be quiet.

Eloura began making a noise that as a cat was odd but as a human would have obviously been laughing. She smiled and began to slink to the back of the habitat and lay down. By now there were only about twenty minutes until closing and she couldn't wait, although Eloura didn't like the fact that there was a new Nocturnal coming. She couldn't bear the thought of a poor girl, probably in her human form, in some crate in the keeper area behind their enclosure.

Robbie sighed as he listened to the new Nocturnal. He really wanted to release her, but he figured just prying out a bar of wood wouldn't do any harm, so she would have light and so she would know someone was there. So Robbie grabbed a crowbar and carefully pulled one strip out of the smallest side of the box and leaned down so he could see inside. "Hey, what type of cat are you?" He asked curious, nobody had told him.

When he opened the boy there sat a tiger. The intelligent blue eyes stared at him. She quickly changed into her human form. The black stripes retreated to her hair. She looked up smiling. "As you can see a Siberian tiger." She said as she stretched out "When can I come out?" Tes wasn't going to wait another hour.

The large Grey Wolf, the first wolf in the zoo, as a matter of fact, paced through his giant enclosure. Sure, the enclosure was nice-very unlike a cage, with wide open space-but it was utterly boring with no other wolves. He allowed a snarl to escape his throat, looking up at the bridge above where humans looked down on him as he drowned in miserableness.

{yes, miserableness is a real word.}

Oz closed her eyes, leaning against the cement wall as she waited for the day shift to end. Of course, Ozzy worked all night from 7:15 p.m. to opening time. She only caught the last 45 minutes of any act or show.
Her eyes opened when she found she was too bored to wait, so she pulled out her simple wallet and walked over to a nearby vending machine. When she was feeling nice, Oz had discovered that several of the Nocturnals rather enjoyed sodas, so Oz would buy one for them. But this soda was for herself-- she was not in a very nice mood.
She took the can of Coke and popped it open, talking a prolonged sip as she once more leaned in the shade. Her mocha eyes scanned the crowd. She wanted them to leave.

Eloura sighed and looked around the enclosure she had been in for nearly five years. It looked almost exactly the same, except the rocks and walls had more scratch marks, and there was a large red stain where the Day keepers fed her everyday. There wasn't much longer until she could leave as a human for the night, but still she was rather impatient.

Ooc~
By the way, the zoo is based off the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium in Omaha
Here's a map~

Robbie smiled at the girl/Siberian tiger. "Not much longer, just until the night shift is officially on and all the guests and Day Shift leave." He told her. "And then I will release the other Nocturnals and bring Eloura, the first big cat, and currently the only other one, in here to show you around when I release you." He explained further. [color=#003300]"Whats your name?

Ooc~ Also I upgraded Eloura to leader because she is the veteran cat and I figured it would work out.

Tes moved closer. Her eyes searched his face. "Tes. Tes Stripes." she said "I would rather explore on my own." She scratched her head "Um.. Can you not tell anyone I cried about being in a box." She said. She sat back and looked at him "What about the other animals?" she ask "What are there names?"

As he looked up at the clock thr showed what time it was, the wolf saw that it was only 40 or so minutes until the boredom would be over. He should really start sleeping during the day. With a wag of his tail he was at the gate that led under the bridge, where the Keepers would drop food for him. The piece of meat he had been given that day still lay there, untouched.

{I'm basing the wolf habitat off of my zoo's wolf habitat, with a bridge people stand on and look down t he wolves. The wolves can run around in this big enclosure. Under the bridge ish here they stay when they're off exhibit.}

Eloura trotted toward the door that Robbie routinely released her from, and waited. There was not much time until she was supposed to be released, and like always she got restless in her enclosure.

Ooc~
Alright. The cat exhibits in the Henry Doorly Zoo are in this building where each animal is in their exhibit that is rather large so thats what I'm describing mine as.

Robbie smiled at her , "Nice to meet you Tes. I'm Robert Logan, but I prefer Robbie" he responded, "And its protocol for Eloura to show you around, to tell you the rules really. And everyone cries in the box but I won't tell." Robert had always been good with animals and the newly arrived Nocturnals. Though it killed him that two of the Nocturnals were biased against zookeepers and therefor hated him. [color=#003300]"And there are a lot of other animals. We have, A snow leopard, Eloura. An Otter, his name is Cole. And a Squirrel Monkey, thats Abel. Oh and also a barn owl, Saoirse.

Tes clapped. "Ok." she said "Also why am I here?" She let out a sigh and smiled. New friends is what she needed.
