Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ubongo had been happy with his small family. Now he was faced with introducing himself to a sea of hyenas. He hadn't seen this many gathered in one place since leaving the pack of his birth. It was a bit intimidating, but at least the remnants of his family were at his side. He stepped forward after his son-in-law, clearing his throat. "Ubongo. I'm here to hunt," the grey hyena said. He was too old to train as a guard or a scout. He would leave that to the young hyenas, strong and swift as they were. Likewise, Ubongo had neither the interest nor the training to become a bone collector, bone reader or bone setter. Whatever strange customs this new pack had, at least a pack would always need hunters. It was a good, honest job. He stepped back amongst his family.

Lots of these new hyenas looked like they'd been born into the pack. All grey and brown and spotty. Byta did not approve. How was he supposed to know who was a real pack member? He had been trying to commit all the names of the strangers to memory, but there were just too many of them. Giving up, he sat and sulked for a while before introducing himself. "I'm Byta. I'm a bone collector." The juvenile barked. Of course, he was no such thing, not yet, but whatever. It wasn't like princess high-and-mighty and her dad were going to check his references. Probably Masuko would even be impressed by his awesomeness.

Kuni was not the least bit fond of the large gathering of strange Hyenas here with a purpose similar to his own. All here to join into the pack. A broken growl rumbled through his throat as he slowly moved through the shadows on the outskirts of the gathering, making his away toward the leaders as he took care to dodge the others. He was hardly the most social, or stable, Hyena out there. And one would think he'd prefer to be a loner. But alone, he did not have such wonderful opportunity to rip lions into tiny little bits. With a pack, he could do far more damage to the larger species... That alone was his ultimate goal.

Sweet, sweet revenge...

A manic smile spread over his scarred maw, a quick bard of laughter escaping before it was gone, his face once again showing only annoyance. He was lurking for a good while before he saw the opportunity to make his own introduction, finally trotting free of the shadows. " Ukunimata.. " He growled out his name, already growing tense under the eyes upon him. " Guard. " It was stated simply. He would only accept a rank that would allow him to fight. His introduction over in only those two words, he stalked back into the shadows to make his way deeper into the graveyard in search of a comfortable new den.

Muundi watched at the side of Mtulinga as each hyena took their turn speaking of who and what they were. Why had he and Mtu decided to stay again? Never had they been so...bunched together. At least there were youngsters here to be able to torment. When he was next in line to speak, he stepped forward, flicking one of his long ears back towards the female who had become his counterpart. He rarely ever left her side, but something dawned in his mind that this probably wasn't they best place to use their 'mind-reading' antics, (they had been together for such a long time that knowing what each other was practically thinking just came natural to them). The small gesture would be enough to let Mtu know he was to speak on his own, and she too would follow in suit if she chose.

"I am Muundi," his voice was strong, but lacked something to it. "Call me a scout," he really didn't care what title he was given, but at least with this one, he didn't have to stay in one place. And there would always be the fact that he (and Mtulinga of course) could have some fun with those who dare walk in or out of the bonelands.
