halimede.

However dusky and dark the jungle was, she could see the giraffes and hunters as they rushed passed, far too preoccupied with their hunts to notice the pale lioness snuggled within the hollow of a tree. It had long begun to grow cramped, and Halimede was certain she could feel bugs beginning to crawl between the tendrils of her dove-gray fur, but she waited in that hovel until she was certain they were all gone. Then, and only then, did she finally slip free of the trunk and begin to make her way back to Lorien, along the way making sure to beat up some more trees and wreak her claws down their trunks. They deserved it, somehow.

Zahra watched the hunt go through, eyes of pink calmly observing everything from her hidding spot. She didnt want to be discovered. With risk of fights, she could not let herself be harmed, not while she had a poisonous plant on her power. Besides she wont be able to serve Morrigan well under recovering stage.

Once the hunt was over she snuck away, as she studied the plant in her bag she wondered how useful this one could be in a fight. Could this be used in her claws? Or was it better to make somone eat it instead? She might will have to check it out later, for now she collected more of it until she was gone.

the creature they hunt is a monster, all strange angles and far too much height. it makes her nervous as she stares it, stretching all the way up into the sky -- but it bleeds just like anything else. it dies, just like anything else. there is quiet once the creature has fallen, a sense of calm settling over the hunting party's shoulders -- or, maybe just hers. it's hard to tell from her vantage point. she presses a step or two closer, sticking to the shadows, only trying to get a better view. a simple glance to see the bloodied thing, to commit the sight to memory. in the corner of her eye she sees hekate and her ghost, a mirror-image wraith; she sees this and ignores it, too. the time wasn't right and this wasn't their dream. standing up to her full height, the girl seeks to disappear back into the shadows from whence she'd come, having sated her curiosity for now.

She joined them begrudgingly, as always, arrogance heavy in her eyes. When the hunt began, she chased down the giraffe with faster speed than usual. She took this opportunity to race everybody, to test her limits. Her youthful body was starting to keep up way more than before. Way more, but not enough.

With the creature dead, she ate to replenish her strength. Then she went ahead to continue her strength training, standing on her back feet and felling smaller trees. They crumbled to the ground with a loud crash. When she'd done that for an hour, she decided it was enough. Before leaving she sharpened her claws upon one of the fallen tree's bark. Her talons left marks.exit

Caught a little unawares Aphid had to make do with what she could find, and plucked some Neem leaves from a low-hanging branch nearby, hurrying back to her new acquaintance with an enthusiastic smile. Perching primly back on her dainty haunches she ground some leaves between her claws before re-claiming his pale paw - so contrasted to her own - and pushing the ground leaves into the small wound.

"I'm Aphid, by the way," feminine eyes would beam up to @Ascelin in conclusion, giving his paw a final squint to confirm she had done an okay job before allowing it to return to the leaf-littered earth. She had enjoyed meeting him, and certainly hoped to see him again; his pale curls and blushy contours not the sort of thing one would forget.

Thankfully, what Aphid had caught wind of was something well and truly large enough to feed all those present, and with some crafty work from fellow hunters the beast was felled and bellies were filled.

Saladin moves just as another comes toward the girl, moving instead so that he were on the outskirts of the group. He kept low to the ground, stalking slowly forward, and once the giraffe showed itself he was ready to pounce. Tongue rasps his lips, and after a couple of more moments they all are in motion. The yearling leaps at the end of the giraffe, trying to claw down the hind legs and keep it occupied while others made the killing blow. It doesn't take them long, but boy does it take work. Sides are heaving by the time Saladin settles, moving toward the neck of the giraffe and beginning to fill his belly. He'd eat until he was full, and then that was when he would make his exit.

exit Saladin.

neem had a particular smell. ascelin's blushed nose curled unhappily, despite the easy way his paw laid so comfortably in hers, the doe-eyed girl introducing herself as @Aphid - and he could not help the way his eyebrows raised just a smidge, retreating into glowing white curls. the aphid and the mosquito, it seemed. how quaint.

"charmed," he replied, after a moment. "i'm ascelin." she released his paw - and it hovered for a second, before he studied it, following the way everyone's gaze seemed to then turn in unison-

a giraffe.

well, there was no need to hide from such a beast, at least. and never let it be said ascelin was completely lazy - he set to work for his share just as much as the rest of them, plagued with hunger as he ever was.

A gargantuan creature comes plunging through the vegetation, a deafening cacophony of snapping branches and crackling vegetation permeating the jungle. He doesn't doubt that everyone has seen it, its titanic form outlined against the wan light of dawn.

Scores of lions advance on the titan, and he follows suit, launching himself at its left hind leg in a bid to impede movement there. The giraffe puts up an admirable fight, but their sheer numbers tips the scale in their favor. He spends no more than a few minutes eating before returning to the crabwood he left behind.

He feverishly continues to seperate the last remaining seeds, claw dragging across the length of the branch. Then he collects them, too, and makes off, happy to leave the bustling crowd behind.

IANTHE

This was not the third? fourth? giraffe the mire princess had helped hunt. She's gotten good at utilizing her small size to go for the lower extremities, while the more adventurous lions grab it at the neck or flank.
It's harder to see the carnage in the dark, but Ianthe can feel the slick blood coating her muzzle and paws. Some of the overgrowth had even stained her pelt during the scuffle, a brownish green smear on the mottled white of her hind legs. She's absolutely itching for a bath in the nearest clean body of water, but decides to move in to take some of her hard-earned prize, first.
And perhaps she'll bring back some of the meat, along with the herbs, for her pride mates.

The Girrafe didnt stand a chance against the many lions that joined forces in order to bring the massive creature down for consumption. Tired the wheat lioness waited a bit before going into eating her caught meal. She smilled at the rest of hunters, glad to had joined such a fun hunt. "Thank you guys!" She told everyone who she was able to spot, nodding to herself she shook her fur and ate enough. Now that the hunting affairs were done with, she wanted to return to her original misison of trying out new dyes and tints for her body paintings. She walked away from the hunting group, travelling further into the jungle finding different materials and trying them on her in the form of symbols and other artistic representations. And like that she did so for the rest of the day. fade/exit... +10 Participate in a hunt using the rolled hunt system +10 Socialize with 2 other characters in a thread +10 Apply dye/paint on yourself or someone else
