"More Jaebos? Again?" Sharkbait groaned at the tsabhua. He was a shaman, and maybe a gatherer if he had to be–just because he knew all the herbs that he was looking for already. But he wasn't a hunter, and neither was Akira–the scholar tark'ee sitting tactly and awkwardly. Indeed, he had quite a violent streak when it came to students nodding off in class, but killing prey? Well… He'd rather not get his beak bloody like that. Shenzi narrowed her eyes on the two, giving a huff of a sigh....

"It's going to break!" Shenzi's desperate voice fought against the wind just to be heard. Lightning struck hard, the flash revealing a wooden raft with the three Xiunari clinging. Quirk held onto the mast as hard as she could, green paws clutching tight. The winds whipped down on the sail, ripping it from the post and yanking it high into the darkness. The wood howled from the crushing weight being exerted against it, and could break at any moment. "Hold on!" Akira called out, his long...

Sharkbait, Akira, and Shenzi had promised the pup Crushclaw her first ever trip away from their camp in L'Hatzif. It was a bit bittersweet to the three adults, as now they've raised two pups without ever seeing the colony's original base. Quite a ragtag group they were–a large tsabhua, but missing her arms, a tall blue belemoid, and an unrelated red pup–all being followed by a draconic tark'ee. ((Nevertheless, as they rounded up that rocky ridge, Crushclaw ran ahead, surmounting the grass...

The trio were greeted by a farmer in a straw hat, a green tark'ee with sharp ram horn. "E-yup, right this way," she gestured, leading the travelers down an overgrown trail. Two had come from Xitlalmina–Tezcatlipoca, the black-pelted swindler with a face marked like a skull, and Xochcatl, a tan-and-blue tsabhua with a strict eye for everything around them. The last of them was Shenzi of the sea-cucumbers, an armless tsabhua with a dark pelt like a savannah canid. They were here with a purpos...

"It doesn't make sense to me," Shenzi yawned. She had discarded her pickaxe on the sand. Now she shrunk against the edge of a cliff, grateful for the tiniest sliver of shade it offered. ...

Two whelps stared at the native, probing her with questions about her way of life, her cheetah-striped pelt, anything they could think of. Polly, a bright green tark'ee, quite looked lik a parrot out in the desert. While Crushclaw, a deep-red belemoid with crackling claws, may have well been a fire elemental straight from a voclano. Both of their colors contrasted highly against the soft, tan sand surrounding them. Kukiemba eyed them nervously, realizing consciously that there was no harm in ...

((One of the suns was higher than the other, obscured by the peaks. As a result, about half the cliff sides threw long, dark shadows, while the rest of the rocky terrain was sunny. The bones of giant, ancient beasts poked from the ground, a reminder that this land was built with time and pain. But the three hunters weren't here to unearth the memories of the past, just investigating the small caverns and crevices along the mountains–where there, the natives said, huldah could be found.))...

((The heat was sweltering, fully drying the mouths of the xiunari moments after they took a sip of water. The sunlight super heated their pelts until they felt like they were wearing heated blankets, and pierced their vision with the harsh light. Crumbling ruins in the distance, their sandstone roofs long fallen in, offered no respite, either. Only the occasional wind barely brought cool air, but brought with each a disproportionate flurry of micro-sand.)) Skritch, Shenzi, and Akira ...

"Alright, are we all ready?" Mordo'kai was a strong leader, a man who worked well to push along the party without coming off as strict or aggressive. Karl'eem and Shenzi gathered their stone picks, while Ma'groth–the only other belemoid–grabbed one for himself, and another for Mordo'kai. "Oh, don't you worry," he gave a deep laugh, "I've got climbing gear, too. I always come prepared." He gestured to the harness that criss-crossed through his tan fur, as well as the large hitchik...

"There–" Shenzi's quiet voice and body gestured to the jungle ahead of them. ((A clearing stood between the mushroom trees, the sky darkened by the canopies above and the criss-crossing of vines. Still, some rays of light managed to warm the ground, sprouting small berry bushes. They'd be trampled by something–something still here. Oinking nukap rubbed their noses along the ground, digging up fresh roots and mushrooms to munch on.)) Fortunately for them, she, Akira, and Sharkbait weren't ...

((It was hot, even this close to the shoreline. Polly's soft yellow paws scraped against the hard, compacted sandstone. A small, white butterfly tickled her nose, and as it fluttered into the blue sky, the tark'ee chased after it. She raced up a small mountain of pebbles, breaking to a height above the flowing sand dunes. She swatted at the insect, and as it fluttered away, gave a pained, "Awh!"–but then she noticed something else. Among the scattered golden tufts of wheatgrass growing on t...

Shenzi, a tsabhua with a hyena-marked pelt and Citrus, a dazzling iridescent aquatic kukuri, were off on the adventure of a lifetime. You just hadn't gotten to see any of it–but it was awe-inspiring, actually. They'd traversed into an ancient temple hidden deep within the L'Hatzif jungle, dodged floor-step traps laced with poison arrows, and also fought an army of undead mummies. Despite Citrus' apparent disinterest in getting her claws dirty, her massive horns could deal some seri...

"My back huuurts," Skritch complained, putting his hands on his rump and puffing his chest out until his spine made a number of satisfying crunches. "We haven't even walked that far yet," Shenzi pointed out with an awkward shrug. The sand was warm and made satisfying crunches underneath her toes. "Do you remember when we lived in the ocean?" Sharkbait gave an awkward chuckle, one that was filled with post-irony but also a bit of humble nostalgia. "Yeah… I wish we were back there, som...

For hours, the two tsabhua and single belemoid had been camped at the edge of grassy boulders, staring at an overgrown dirt patch leading to a rusted sewer grate. In all the time they'd been watching from afar, the horizontal door had not so much as even creaked in the wind. A cobbled wall kept the grate up against the back of an overgrown knoll. Occasionally, a brown-pelted jaebo relishing in the sun would stick a tongue out at Shenzi, making her furious that she couldn't be hunting instead....

When they'd discovered a lost whelp in Mireh, none of the Sea-Cucumbers Colony had ever raised a child before. Nobody knew how old Skritch was, or even if he was truly from this planet, while Sharkbait and Shenzi were both newly aged adults. Nevertheless, ever since they'd discovered Polly, the bright green parakeet tark'ee, it had been their duty to care for her–in many ways, bringing their fractured and distrusting colony together. After their submarine crashed in Mireh, and their ...

((The fungal forest smelled like rot and certain death. Sparse grasses and redtails tickled underfoot, while the ground itself was either a thick layer of mud, or covered in swamp water. Mushrooms, usually small things attached to decaying wood, now dwarfed the large tsabhua. Worse-still, in the wind they shed harsh spores, and even without it, many slowly dripped sticky sap from their caps. The twisted branches and fields of layered swamp continued far into the distance, rising as mountains ...
