"They're not pets," Susan snipped. "They're companions and they're people, most of all. Just because they don't look like you or I doesn't mean they're (quote) 'just animals'." Obviously she'd had conversations like this before.
[Okay, that was right after Fatal's comment, now I'm back with you guys :)]
Susan was watching Elizabeth. First the hellhound, then the objects that kept coming out of her backpack... something was off here. But she dismissed it and turned back to the map.

[Question, guys! May I have the honors of making the next mini-plot happen? And WHERE ARE WE GOING?!]

Risira bounced over. "Food?" she chirped. "I'm hungry!"

[Good question. You're on your own, buddy. Sorry. :) I can't think of anything brilliant off the top of my head.]

Seria paced just inside Merlin's door, checking for the third time in ten minutes that no one was outside. "What in the name of the Goddess is going on?" she hissed.

Welcome to the pack, guys! Name's Blackpool in RP. Call me Rogue and make all our lives just that much easier LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

[I shall take your silence as a yes. 'Cause I'm just special like that.]

Sunrise, the female dragon sitting on Susan's left shoulder, jerked her head up. She whipped around and tapped Susan's head with the tip of her tail. Susan turned to stare into Sunrise's eyes for a moment. "Guys," she snapped. "Put away the stupid map and prepare yourselves for battle! NOW! Something's -" At that moment, six resounding hisses in perfect harmony came from the direction Sunrise and Sunset were now both staring, off to the left of the group. A reptilian head rose from the tall grasses. Two. Three. Six. "HYDRA!" Susan yelled, a sword appearing in her hand. "SCATTER!" She ran to the side, yelling to distract the monster and frantically tapping a code on her watch wristband. A shield spiraled out - a model of Aegis. She clanged her sword on her shield. The monster hissed and spat acid, and she rolled the other way, barely missing the pool of goo that appeared.

Redfern, finished with her wash, stretched out and rolled on her back to bask in the sun, her tail swishing the ground.

Blackpool started to go to Makik, but seeing Shasta get to Kamutz and the Omega first, she stopped. Having to talk to the mate of the one she loved but was seperated from forever would be too much, she thought. And so instead she walked a distance away and sat, facing the sea, alone, ignoring her wrenched wing. She knew her wing would heal. What she didn't know was if her heart would.
And so she sat. Silent. And alone.
Hurting outside.
But hurting even more within.

"Don't cut off the heads!" Susan yelped. "Other than that... well, I'm working on it. Just DON'T CUT OFF THE STUPID HEADS, for Olympus's sake!" She dodged a head's bite and hissed like a cat, bonking the head with her shield. The two dragons took flight, zipping away in opposite directions to blow flame and serve as distractions. Then, a plan formed in her head. "This might just be crazy enough to work," she muttered, parrying a hydra head's fangs. She threw her sword away - it shrunk to a rod the size of a pencil - and slammed her shield's wristband. It shrunk into a watch again, and unburdened, she rolled to the side and reached into the Void for something - anything - long and thin and strong. She pulled out a long metal whip. "Good enough!" she yelled to empty air.
She hesitated, then dashed straight towards the hydra, pouring all her energy and focus into the one single move that brought her around to face the thing's side. "Dad, little heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!" she screamed as she leaped into the air.
Zeus heard her. She somersaulted and landed just behind the hydra's middle neck. She lashed the whip in front of her; just as the hydra roared, the whip lashed through its mouth and curved back around to hit Susan's hand. She grabbed it and the hydra strained to bite against the whip. As it was behind the thing's teeth, however, it couldn't bite through it, nor could it dissolve the whip with acid. Susan whooped as the hydra twisted around. "That's right!" she yelled, obviously having far too much fun with this.

Risira blinked. "Well," she decided after a moment, "if some crazy cat does kill us all, then you'll be that crazy cat."

Susan pulled on her makeshift left rein, pulling the hydra back around to face the group. The monster hissed, and she leaned forward along the middle neck and murmured something to it, and the hydra quieted. She pushed herself up and stood on the base of the hydra's neck. "See, monsters aren't evil! Well, not most of them. They're just hungry, and the humans push them out of their original territories, so they improvise! Then we blame them, and heroes kill them. They're just defending themselves. He says that he was told we killed his family," she informed them. The hydra rumbled deep in his throat.

Sandstar rolled her eyes and picked up Coconutkit.

Risira trilled as a raindrop hit her nose and flicked her tail. She trotted along beside Sandstar and Palmflower.

[I vote we wait for more people. More interesting. And, Turn it D O W N, who was saying that to Redfern?]

Redfern scrutinized her gleaming coat, then stood, shook it out, and curled up in her patch of sunshine. Her tail swept over her nose, hiding her face except for her eyes, which gleamed out at the fox lying a few fox-lengths away.

Blackpool sighed. If I had just been wiser, and not spoken so carelessly... none of this would have happened. She lowered her head, staring down at the sea, but did not move otherwise. Her wrenched wing throbbed.

[O.O Meep.]

Risira cocked her head and twitched her ears sideways in a comical look. "You said, "yes but tempers are wearing thin lets just hope some crazy cat dosent kill everybody" and then you laughed kind of... nutzoish. Is that even a word?" she said, distracted by her own vocabulary. Typical Risira.

Susan frowned and slid down the hydra's shoulder to walk over to Fatal. She stood there, hands on hips. "I know your kind, Fatal. I know you think that monsters are evil, and you don't care who started the war. Well, I've got news for you! Monsters are just creatures that are trying to stay alive in this world where humans have taken over their territories, destroyed their food sources, and shoved them to the brink of extinction. And I have sworn that I will defend those monsters that I can, and you will not treat those under my care as "just animals"!" She took a deep breath. "Fatal, try to understand. Please."

[Whoa whoa whoa... when did the rabbit come in? ???]

Redfern eyed Hazel - not aggressively, just curiously - but didn't move from her spot of sun.

Risira blinked. "You want me... to help you... from going crazy? Now think that over for a second." As if to prove her point, she began circling again at a trot, as if she had to keep moving.

[Oh, sorry, like I said in your quote, I did not read most of this... :P]

Redfern stretched out of her ball, rolling over onto her back to relish the sunlight on her fur.

Risira stopped circling for a moment. "I'd ask Swift or somebody," she told him. "I don't have a very good memory. Speaking of which, what about that food?"

[Hey, whenever you think I made a really funny comment, either quote it or let me know with an "LOL" or something, please! I'd like to know how I'm doing with her! Thanks for the feedback!]
