[EVENT] Hide and seek - Open!

[Feral Mule]

Sighing, Anina climbed up on a stump of a fallen tree and sat down, curling up and yawning. Things sure were boring when there was no one around to talk to. "Heeeeeey." She called out to anyone around here. "Come talk to me! HEEEEEEY."  

[Chobi_Chocobo]

Caius decided to go even higher. He jumped from the tree he was on and caught another branch. The leopard struggled to get him self up but managed. Once up, the leopard scanned the area but once again, there were no signs of cubs. Caius sighed and scurried down the tree. Maybe on the ground had been right all along. Who knew.

Kalua looked up and down and all around. She still could not find any cubs. This task seemed almost impossible to do. Eventually she rooted around some bushes. Instead of finding a cub, she found a juicy mango. Her face lit with joy and she quickly munched on it. Perhaps one of the leopards had knocked it down while looking. A fruit instead of a cub, her stomach thought it was a great find.  

[Feral Mule]

Sighing heavily, she looked around for someone that answered her call, and there were none. Her face drooped and she sort of dragged her feet as she walked. Well, this wasn't the exciting day she wanted to happen. Not at all!  

[Fairy Snails]

Macaria closed his eyes for a moment and listened carefully. He was sure he could find them if he could just focus on their sounds. But he heard nothing. Not a sound that resembled a cub. He walked slowly, not wanting to hurt himself anymore than he already was. He opened his eyes and stared into the grass. There were no cubs in the grass, he knew. Once he double checked he went on to a different spot.  

[Krysin]

Of course, even though she was helping in the search, there was no guarantee that anyone would find all the cubs. One very well could have gotten itself hurt, or lost. Cubs had the tendency to venture off, and Mchanga knew well of what could happen to unprotected children. It brought a sense of urgency in her search, and though she shifted through underbrush and maneuvered between trees... there was no sign of those cubs. She was optimistic enough to believe that they still could be found, though.  

[Chobi_Chocobo]

Caius got to the ground but it was a little uncoordinated. The leopard smacked his bum hard as his claws slipped at the last minute. It was not pleasant at all falling on ones bum. Caius sat there a moment before grudgingly getting up to search for these cubs. Still it amazed Caius these cubs could hide so well. He'd have to take lessons.  

[Lilbabe808]

After her bit of luck with finding the fruit, Kalua ran into some rather bad luck. While continuing her search, she almost got pounced on by a searching leopard. Not like they actually noticed her but it was a close one. They might just eat her out of frustration. Then she tripped over nothing and landed snout first into dirt. Clearly there were no cubs here or she would have crushed the poor thing.  

[Chobi_Chocobo]

The leopard continued his search through the thick of the brush.

"Cubs?" He called but there was no answer. This was just a game to them after all. At least thats what Caius assumed. He was starting to feel bad for their care taker. How did her pride expect anyone to keep track of such great hiders. Sure , they had to be out here. Caius had heard giggling earlier. That didn't make this anymore less of a head ache though. There was nothing he could do now but carry on and thats what Caius did.  

[Krysin]

As her search progressed, Mchanga was becoming a little more worried. She still believed the cubs could do well enough on their own, but finding them now would be better than finding them later. If the search lasted into the night, that was when Mchanga would lose hope of finding them. If the cubs were not familiar with the territory, it could be disastrous. So, the leopardess continued her fruitless search, holding on to the hope that the cubs would be found soon.  

[Neon Fly]

Once the coast was clear Grudge pulled himself free of the underbrush, shaking his pelt of debris. Giving the area a thorough once over the rogue didn't see much of any sign that any cubs had passed through this way. Only the frantic adults who had left various signs of their presence by way of trampled moss and bent branches. Huh.

Looking up to the canopy above Grudge decided to scale the nearest tree to try and get a better survey of the distant land. Perhaps he could spot the little meat bags if they were colorful enough to warrant it. Sounded like a sound plan anyway.

Rearing up on his hind legs strong claws were unsheathed as the lanky leopard sprung up the side of a gnarly tree, scraping and shuffling his way into one of the lower branches.
 

[Fairy Snails]

'oh Macaria you look hurt. You should take a break.' his dark side thought as he walked. He ignored the voice. This was something he would have to do himself, preferably without his darker self. If he couldn't help find some cubs than what good was he to the pride. Hurt leg or not he would help find these cubs. That he promised to himself.

edit: forgot to roll > > ignore  

[Lilbabe808]

Kalua was starting to get tired. She decided she'd search one more time and then take a little rest. Finding no cub once again, she sat down. Her eyes following all the leopards around her. She had never before seen such a sight. In a way, she was kind of glad to be part of this experience. Who ever knew they would ignore her as if she wasn't a tasty bit of meat they'd like to eat. Definitely one for sharing.  

[Krysin]

She paused in her search, picking at the bottom of her paw with her teeth to get a rock out from between her toes. Her neutral eyes scanned the surrounding area, which held no sign of any cub. There was plenty of other life, of course, but not exactly the life she was looking for. Mchanga sighed heartily before getting up to continue her search. She was not the type of leopardess to give up easily, and as long as she was in the area, she'd continue her search. She should have brought her own boys along to help, but they were menaces within their own right, and likely would have done little good.
