9 months, no perks

It was a warm and muggy afternoon in the jungle, and Veros was out stretching his legs. He had wandered passed the borders of his home - not particularly on purpose, but not accidentally either - in search of something to distract him. The jungle was quiet save for a few singing birds in the distance, but despite the silence, with one sniff, he realized there was something delicious lingering on the breeze.

Dropping down in a dense patch of underbrush (like he was taught to do), Veros began stalking forward. He lifted his nose once more, trying to pinpoint where exactly the scent was coming from without compromising his position and potentially moving to a place he'd spook the prey...

I'LL BURN THE WORLD AND SING UPON THE ASH

Once again, Maven's wandering paws have brought her to the depths of the jungle. She'd had the thought originally to visit the lions of Secondstone, but somewhere between the tree line and the territory of her father's friends, she had gotten distracted. Entranced by the vibrant jungle blooms that spring had brought forth, and eventually, intrigued by how clearly the soft earth captured the prints of every creature that had recently passed by.

Before long, the girl's focus had shifted from studying the verdant environment to proper tracking, curious to see exactly what type of beast lied at the end of the trail. Not that she necessarily had any grand ideas about felling it. Not all on her own, anyway.

At first, she mistakes the slight glimpse of @Veros's bright pelt for just another flower, if not for the faintest hint of movement that'd caught her eye. The abyssal yearling paused where she herself was hidden in the undergrowth, ears perked up for any further sign that she wasn't alone.

Maybe she actually could stand to push her goals a little bit higher.

This place is such a confusing tangle of vines and ferns, the underbrush so thickly overgrown that Viveka might as well have been trapped in a maze. But she presses onwards nevertheless, too intent upon the musky scent of prey beckoning her forwards to give up on it at this point. Tempting an idea though it might seem, she will not be a failure, even in this.

In true Rike fashion, the young woman doesn't so much navigate her way through nature's maze as much as she tries to crash through its walls. She shoves her way past stubborn branches and grabby thorns while muttering curses under her breath, the trial all but smothering her own natural perfume beneath the smell of the jungle itself. Useful perhaps, though the amount of leaf litter tangled in her lovely pelt brought a frustrated sneer to her lips, a snarl that was only quiet because she'd realized her quarry was close now. The heavier scent in the air encouraged her to silence her steps, more cautious now about the possibility of snapping branches as she stalked further and further into the brush.

If she noticed the youngsters currently concealed within the undergrowth, Viveka clearly didn't care enough to show any sign of it.

The dense foliage of the jungle had made it very difficult for him, as he had begun scouting the land. He hadn't made it very far, when he'd found some pretty smelling and bright flowers- and had brushed against them, and rolled in them. It was only after he'd moved on, that he realized that the scent of them lingered, and his scent... well it seemed to be rather hidden! What a neat thing! He moved along narrow paths, underneath canopies of trees, his pawsteps not quite silent as he moved- because at eleven months it was hard to be quiet when your legs felt so gangly. Yet, he kept moving, and kept exploring, curving down through the land- and only deviating from his scouting when he smelled something yummy.

Enver prowled among the foliage, finding a hiding spot underneath a big bush as he looked around to see if anyone else was there, but he couldn't quite make anyone out. Well, if anyone else had gathered, maybe they'd think a big bush of flowers had just joined them to help!

Well.

Whats all this, huh?

He obviously weren't the only hungry one around here. The weird thing, though, is that all the other attendees ( aside from VIVEKA, who's more shadow than lioness ) are young. Babies, even -- certainly infants compared to him. That weren't no problem, though; he was happy to oblige and help feed the masses. What do you got yer eyes on? He murmurs softly to the gaggle of children as he approaches, keeping himself low to the ground. An easy stance to take -- just as easy as the loose slant of his shoulders. Primed and ready, a gun ready to go off; lackadaisical all the while.

Point him in a direction, kids; you'll get your meal today.

4 years, -1 to dodge roll for prey

Since joining a pride, that'd mean he could easily leave the hunting to those who specialized in it, and that meant he didn't have to do it himself. Though, as he wandered the plains that day, he found his stomach beginning to rumble uncomfortably. Growling beneath his breath, he was fortunate enough to then scent something on the breeze, which led him towards the jungle.

Out the outskirts of the trees, he found some lemongrass, which he rolled in - to avoid spooking the prey with his citrus fever scent. As he crept closer toward the prey, he found a group huddled and gathered in the underbrush, all facing the way the prey scent was coming from. Perfect.

Joining them quickly, Poltergeist took up position beside @Shenandoah, glancing sidelong at the male before getting into position - poised and ready to strike.

Io Black

2 years, ranger level two +1 to dice

Io was ready to join the many hunts random lions made. Not only these had the possibility of a meal for her and her pride, but they too provided meaningful experiences for her to get better at the trade. As with her reduced size, it was her best way to contribute to the pride besides fighting or something of such areas.

She arrived to see her uncle @Poltergeist. "Uncle." She whispered as she took position near him, eyes of pink and purple fixed on the way ahead and ready to pounce. She used the moss to mask her scent, while she waited. She did it to avoid being smelled by any potential prey.

Jerrik wasnt in a good mood, maybe loneliness was finally getting to him. And he hated himself for it, for allowing such stupid feelings to get over his judgment and overall thoughts. He didn't need anyone, he didn't need anything to be happy, he only needed himself. He walked through the jungle with a pissed-off expression.

Yet soon it cooled down when he spotted a group of strangers working on a hunt. Maybe this could help him get some of that negativity out. And also help him with food, such a useful thing he had found here.

He walked in a way that make his tracks confusing, he didn't want to be followed for he had no mood to be bothered. Saying nothing he took position to attack anything that came across. He craved violence right now.

Whatever snide comments might possibly be made about the forceful nature with which Viveka traversed the jungle's dense undergrowth, it certainly couldn't compare to the way a full rhinoceros stomped through the trees. How it'd even managed to fit in here, she didn't know and quite honestly, she didn't really care.

All that mattered to the Rike woman was that even this beast bled when its thick hide was scratched enough. Like everything else, it fought and ran and fatigued and died. All that matters is that Viveka can fill her stomach with the feast their hard work had earned them, the tough meat making for a tasty enough treat to soothe some of the stress the hunt had placed upon her body.

And in the end, the woman would disappear back into the brush with nary a word, heading in the vague direction of running water. The river would allow her the chance to properly clean the blood from her white muzzle, and clear away the suffocating perfume of jungle flowers that still lingered upon her coat.
