The wave from Nergui was noticed. She nodded, waving a hand as well in reply. But she still, despite her features being hidden, seemed hesitant to move from her place on the outskirts of the gathering. However, her name being called by a familiar voice did have her turning around. "Oh, Mahir. Hell--AH!" It would likely be the first and only time Na'ima's voice would ever raise above its usual calm sound. Mahir would indeed manage to climb on the woman, but within moments both the Famine mare and her climber were on the ground with a loud crash of bodies and metal jewelry hitting the ground.
"What are you..!" She flailed, robes and scarves flying as she tried to push Mahir off her.

Thin fingers tickled at Valdis to make her coo and wiggle in arms that would never let her fall. Other adults were difficult for Kithryn to manage for more than a few moments but she was always at ease with children in a way she wasn't otherwise. There had been some discussion of her becoming a teacher a long time ago but the ambition to be a priestess had never faded.
Much of her enjoyment dimmed as the other Horseman of her clan stared at her. "No but that's not surprising. I am nothing if not a recluse." And, relenting because she knew that Nergui would nudge her in a moment to do so anyway, she inclined her head. "Kithryn."
"One whisper of humans and everyone comes skittering.." Borr chuckled deeply as horseman came and gathered around the promised mortals. He glanced back at Wrath, "What do you think of our home these days?"
Dain seemed to be shifting away from his uncle and friend. It was sometimes a bit stifling to be bombarded with Borr's constant joviality. Wrath looked to be a strong warrior as well but Dain wasn't interested in small talk or the inevitable moment Borr brought up his newest ale.
He moved a few feet further, murmuring to himself, "I hope they have enough for everyone.."
Of course then there was a crash of bodies, and thinking another fight may have broken out he darted to the action... only to find a pile of fabric and shadow hands and famine jingle-janglies.
The death horsemen frowned from behind his choppy uneven bangs, "There's more of you than I have hands-" He was deadpan and offering his only hand to the pile on the ground.
YOU CAN STILL JOIN AT THIS POINT, JUST READ THIS RP AND START FROM HERE WITH ANY CHARACTER!.
Next prompt for this will be APPROX 48 hours from this post (give or take an extra day).
"Fellow clansmen," said a voice later, one that was drowned out and then a second later-
"FELLOW CLANSMEN." This one just barely drowned out all other conversation. That War horseman, Hunter-Killer, cleared his throat. "And clansnotmen. Let us commence the Human capturing trial. Now more than ever, Humans have become pests. They arm themselves with weapons, they destroy our bases, they try to capture our kind and consider themselves our equal. This is a joke. We will capture those we desire, and destroy those we wish. This is our world, and they our our prey."
He waited for people to agree with him. There were some mixed coughs, and some vague nods, but obviously those were just haters, so he just kept on going. "The victor, the clan who gathers the greatest amount of Humans captured by the end of the day, will receive from our Head Priestess her greatest blessings and the greater half of the spoils from this trial. Seize the day! You only lose once!"
Of course, nobody knew how to set up a portal in the lobby, so any who had accepted this challenge, or were just there for the promise of entertainment or reward, had to take the lobby elevator anyway to the highest floor below Medea's to take the portal from the temple sanctuary.
OOC
PART 1: CAPTURING HUMAN PRISONERS
Your character's goal is essentially, to round up as many human prisoners as possible.
gaia_starIn your OOC, keep a TALLY of how many humans your character has captured AND the clan your character is in. Captured humans you can simply shove back into the portal once they've been properly handled. Try not to accidentally kill too many, their Fear lasts way shorter that way and doesn't help anyone else in your Clan.
gaia_star Feel free to RP THE NPCS (anyone you encounter in the prompts) as much as you'd like, be it interaction, dialogue, etc.
gaia_star OOC: Everyone in the clan with the highest amount of Humans captured at the end of this round will get +5 bonus rp points for that character in that clan.
gaia_starBE CAREFUL OF HP, HP ROLLS OVER THE ENTIRE ORP.
gaia_crown[ STEP 1 ] LOCATION OF CAPTURE
- YOUR CHARACTER CAN PICK ONE OF THREE LOCATIONS. Put the [ LOCATION ] at the top of your rp so people know where your character is. For THIS PART ONLY, if they get bored of a location, they can wander out and try another location.
gaia_star[ THE AMAZON ]: You arrive at the junction between the actual rainforest and a small clearing. The water is muddy as you land, and you notice with a fair amount of indignation that your original homes your clans had set up in the trees, your human territory claims, have all been razed.
Roll 1d6 to see what you encounter as you wander around. CLICK THE SPOILERS. Feel free to roll as many times as you'd like, a minimum of 3 times in any location to get rp points for this part. Of course, you may rp out your dice rolls with others. If you do not encounter a Human, in your roll, you can just reroll until you do. If you manage to successfully capture a human, drop them off (see step 2), then repeat as needed.
- You CAN INDEED ROLL SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH BUDDIES, but you cannot acquire any humans they acquired (you must do that part on your own).
gaia_star 1. You wander around the expansive forest and encounter a wide, open beach. There's a bunch of Humans lazing around. - ATTACK THEM: They panic and run away like seagulls. You end up with no captured humans. - TALK TO THEM: You try to strike up a conversation. They tell you you're at some sort of beach resort but that has no meaning to you. At the end you walk away with 2 souvenirs and a Human cocktail drink.
gaia_star 2. You wander around a very easy, paved path, until you hit some sort of Human lavatory it seems. A few people are lingering around it. - GO TO MEN'S WASHROOM: If you are opposite gender the humans freak out. Otherwise, they ignore you. Easy prey! Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2). Due to the terrible smell of the place, every attack you do hurts you for -5 damage. - GO TO WOMENS'S WASHROOM: If you are opposite gender the humans freak out. Otherwise, they ignore you. Easy prey! Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2 ). Due to the terrible smell of the place, every attack you do hurts you for -5 damage.
gaia_star 3. You wander for a very, very long time. Are you lost? You eventually come to a very, very large building. You don't remember ever seeing this building before, but as you near closer, the Humans around the wall of the fortress fire warning shots at you, and you hear shouting. - STAY TO ATTACK: Ouch, their weapons hurt! They look like Hunter weapons but they glow red. You take -10 damage, and more are coming. You better flee. - RUN: You take -5 collateral damage on the way out, but manage to flee.
gaia_star 4. You find an abandoned Hunter base. It seems like the entire thing was razed to the ground. Nothing to see here, though you can pick up a very old, outdated cellphone. It has no batteries though.
gaia_star 5. The vegetation is everywhere, and then you hear a crack of branches and see a massive snake minipet staring down at you. It doesn't smell like it's made of Fear at all, and feels lumpy and fleshy like Humans do. Is this a Human? - ATTACK IT: It takes 10 HP to take down and you take -5 damage after it has been defeated from a rather nasty bite. (SNAKE CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2) - RUN: Good call, humans without arms are weird.
gaia_star 6. As you are stumbling around this worn path, you encounter a Human in t-shirt and shorts. They look ridiculous and their skin is covered in weird red welts. Are they... safe to capture? - ATTACK IT: Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2 ). Unfortunately attacking them also covers your arm in itchy red welts. How is this affecting you? - 5 damage.
gaia_star[ CANADIAN WILDS ]: As you arrive, it's raining. The trees are long, thing, and cold, and you smell distinct pine all direction.
Roll 1d6 to see what you encounter as you wander around. CLICK THE SPOILERS. Feel free to roll as many times as you'd like, a minimum of 3 times in any location to get rp points for this part. Of course, you may rp out your dice rolls with others. If you do not encounter a Human, in your roll, you can just reroll until you do.

- You CAN INDEED ROLL SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH BUDDIES, but you cannot acquire any humans they acquired (you must do that part on your own).
gaia_star 1. You wander around the expansive forest and encounter a weird setup - it seems like a bunch of square things with humans around them. They're not houses, it's smaller, and there's clusters of Human families gathered around fires. You wander upt o one of them. - ATTACK THEM: They panic and run away like seagulls. You end up with no captured humans. - TALK TO THEM: You try to strike up a conversation. They start singing and invite you to sing and before you know it you walk out with a toasted marshmallow and not much of anything else.
gaia_star 2. You wander around a very easy, paved path, until you hit some sort of Human lavatory it seems. A few people are lingering around it. - GO TO MEN'S WASHROOM: If you are opposite gender the humans freak out. Otherwise, they ignore you. Easy prey! Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2).

gaia_star 3. You wander for a very, very long time. Are you lost? You eventually come to an abandoned building. The area is half-flooded, and it looks like at some point, Humans might have called it a town or city of sorts. As you look around, you notice a fleck of red-what is that, some sort of gun sticking out of the- - EXAMINE IT CLOSER: It begins to fire at you! Ouch, it seriously hurts, and grazes right into your Fear! You take -10 damage. - RUN: You take -5 collateral damage on the way out, but manage to flee as the turret continues to fire.
gaia_star 4. You find an abandoned Hunter base. It seems like the entire thing was razed to the ground. Nothing to see here, though you can pick up a very old, outdated cellphone. It has no batteries though.
gaia_star 5. The vegetation is everywhere, and then you hear a crack of branches and see a massive shaggy Human staring down at you. It's way bigger than a Human, and you're pretty sure you've seen War horseman with mounts similar to this, but it's standing on two legs so it must be a Human? - ATTACK IT: It takes 10 HP to take down and you take -5 damage after it has been defeated from a rather nasty swipe of its claws. (BEAR CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2) - RUN: Good call, wouldn't want to accidentally attack another horseman.
gaia_star 6. You encounter the strangest sight - a slow, shambling human that has no expression on its face. Talking to it, poking it, even attacking it yields no reaction. What is this? - ATTACK IT: Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2 ). Unfortunately attacking also causes you to become exceedingly nauseous. Take -5 damage every attack you make.
gaia_star[ THE ARCTIC ]: You feel like it would be cold here, there's definitely no shortage of snow and wind. Snow, snow all directions. You arrive in a rather homely town of sorts. It feels almost comfortable.
Roll 1d6 to see what you encounter as you wander around. CLICK THE SPOILERS. Feel free to roll as many times as you'd like, a minimum of 3 times in any location to get rp points for this part. Of course, you may rp out your dice rolls with others. If you do not encounter a Human, in your roll, you can just reroll until you do.

- You CAN INDEED ROLL SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH BUDDIES, but you cannot acquire any humans they acquired (you must do that part on your own).
gaia_star 1. You decide to move away from the town until, you find a small camp in the distance. There's a bunch of humans wearing a lot of clothing with some unusual equipment all in boxes around them. - ATTACK THEM: They panic and run away like seagulls. You end up with no captured humans. - TALK TO THEM: You try to strike up a conversation. They begin talking about something called a nature documentary and you realize you don't care. In the end you just wander off, head spinning with pointless facts.
2. You wander around a very easy, paved path, until you hit some sort of Human lavatory it seems. A few people are lingering around it. gaia_star GO TO MEN'S WASHROOM: If you are opposite gender the humans freak out. Otherwise, they ignore you. Easy prey!

gaia_star 3. You wander for a very, very long time. Are you lost? You eventually come to an abandoned shipwreck. Something feels very wrong about the place and the closer you get, the less you want of this place. Despite the ice and snow, massive green vines cover the ship as you get closer to it, upon inspection. - TOUCH THE VINES: Belatedly, you realize it's sapping your Fear, your strength, your consciousness. You have to run, you have to move now before you become no more. The encounter chills you to your core. -10 HP. - RUN: You move, but a little too late. One of the vines snag you, and for a second you lose yourself to a void of nothingness. When you regain consciousness, you don't take any second chances -5 HP.
gaia_star 4. You find an abandoned Hunter base. It seems like the entire thing was razed to the ground. Nothing to see here, though you can pick up a very old, outdated cellphone. It has no batteries though.
gaia_star 5. The snow is everywhere, and then you hear a crack of branches and see a massive shape staring down at you. It has no fur, just thick skin, and a lot of it, so must be a human? - ATTACK IT: It takes 10 HP to take down and you take -5 damage after it has been defeated from a rather nasty gouge of its tusk. (WALRUS CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2) -RUN: Good call, seems too heavy to carry...
gaia_star 6. You encounter the strangest sight - a slow, shambling human that has no expression on its face. Talking to it, poking it, even attacking it yields no reaction. What is this? - ATTACK IT: Do 10 damage to a Human to knock them out (HUMAN CAPTURED, GO TO STEP 2 ). Unfortunately attacking also causes you to become exceedingly nauseous. Take -5 damage every attack you make.
gaia_crown[ STEP 2 ] ROUNDING UP PRISONERS
gaia_star If you managed to grab a prisoner, take a post to rp your character dropping it off at where they had arrived via their portals, just by shoving your prisoner into the portal.
gaia_star PLEASE NOTE: If you captured an animal, it still counts as a tally, you might just end up with a pet animal instead of a Human (add it to your OOC notes of what you captured).
gaia_star At the TOP OF YOUR POST, UPDATE YOUR HUMAN CAPTURE TALLY FOR YOUR CLAN. It's pretty simple, look for the LAST POST with the tally relevant to your clan. Add 1 to it. Update your post.
gaia_crown[ STEP 3 ] RINSE AND REPEAT
- You can do step 1-3 for as many times as you have HP for. You can use healing moves, Fears, whatnot to help you out. RP, interact, enjoy!

With Kithryn handling her own introduction, and Valdis tended to, there was nothing to distract Nergui from that sobering look and straightening of posture in the young colt beside her. She watched Ollie curiously as his bubbly nature folded away behind something much more serious, found herself wondering over what might have caused such a reaction.
Though she thought perhaps she had a fair idea.
Side stepping behind him, she'd lay a delicate hand on either of his shoulders, rising up on her toes so she could lay a kiss on his dark temple. "This is Oliatos, one of my dearest friends." More than, really. The priestess felt responsible for the young male beyond what friendship would warrant.

Na'ima was still struggling to remove Mahir from her person, or rather to just free herself from underneath him by slowly crawling out from under the other Famine. Luckily, like most Famines, he did not weigh much.
She stopped and looked up as someone offered a hand, golden eyes watching him with an unreadable expression. "You only need one to aid me," she replied as she reached up to try to grab the stallion's hand and pull herself up.
There was a pause from the mare as she looked toward the shouting 'Hunter-Killer' from War. Her eyes narrowed, but she seemed to be listening at 'human capturing trial', her eyes widening. One could swear they glistened. "Human capturing?"She was so in. She rose to her feet, fixing her jostled robes and tangled jewelry. "I do not lose," she murmured to no one in particular as she started to walk away. Without even so much as a thank you to the Death stallion. Ouch.

[Lobby to Amazon] [OPEN FOR RP!]
Hibiki's eyes rolled under her mask, the Conquest mare thought that the fighting over the humans was stupid. They where just humans, there was plenty of them. It had seemed like everything was over when the War Horseman, hunter-killer declared that they where going to get more humans.
Great, good for him. Now would he stop blocking the elevators? Then before she was able to leave Hunter-Killer declared that the Human capturing trial was going to start. Well since this was a battle of the clans to see which clan could get the most humans. The mare decided she might as well join in and bring glory to her clan. She indeed to help her clan to victory, they where after all, Conquest, where they not?
The androgynously dressed mare grinned under the mask, maybe this was going to be fun after all. Some might find it more interesting to hunt with others, but Hibiki would rather work alone where no one could steal her prey.
Of course the lobby didn't have a portal which meant that she had to take the elevator to temple sanctuary to start her hunt for the humans. She was not the only one interested in heading out to look for humans which meant the elevator was rather busy. She would rather not share an elevator with people but to wait also meant losing out on better hunting grounds.
Luckily it didn't take long to get to the portal, where she could hopefully ditch anyone who was in the same elevator.
The area that she ended up in after walking through the portal was an area half clearing and half old trees. She glared the humans had destroyed the area, the clans areas. They would pay for that.
Borr listened to the announcement and smiled under his beard. Conversation came to a grinding halt at that point as the competition was presented not only for the horseman themselves but between clans.
Wrath got a hearty pat on the shoulder from the bearded brewmaster, "What do you see we go an do our clan proud, hm?"
It wasn't overtly an invitation to join him but he was welcome if he wanted. Borr headed for the elevator and then to the portals.

Dain pulled Na'ima to her feet with no pretense or expectation of thanks. He didn't even get her name but seemed unaffected when the mare simply charged off, energized by the presented competition.
The lean horseman offered his hand again for the other on the ground, the one with the many shadowy arms, "Hurry up-" He said with only a twinge of impatience, "Or we'll miss getting humans.

Gzifa had been watching the fight intently, finding some measure of solace in the fact that this Hunter-killer guy or Hunter, whatever, was about just as tiny as she. She wasn't sure about whether she could accept him as their leader, however, seeing how his tail was rather small...
Nevermind that, the reason they had gathered here today was because of those. Gzifa wanted a human. A big one. And all she had to do was capture one back. Easy.
- - -
The Amazon forests felt like home, except for the fact that some parts of it had been razed to the ground due to the humans and their vile deforestation. They were strange like that, in how they needed to gather together at one particular spot to expel their bodily wastes...
… or how a bunch of grown men found the need to start yelling at her grand entrance. Yes. Hello. Gzifa squinted and scoured the room for a suitable candidate. Most of them were cowards it seems.
Back to business. In a swift moment of face meets foot, the target was quickly knocked out and dragged by his feet straight into the portal. She didn't think the pants were necessary, so she left those back there.

She could collect more than one human right? Just in case one of them expired early. Or she could make them fight each other and keep the last one standing. Yes, she only needed the worthy.
Alas, the washrooms were vacated by the time she got back. Gzifa simply decided to follow the footprints on the fresh mud, those fools who thought they could run away from her, except that she had now encountered something more than she could handle-
Wretched hunters, she snarled, making her quick retreat. Next time she'd bring the entire flock back, just you wait...

This one looked diseased. Gzifa wrinkled her nose, staring down up at the pathetic human who kept on scratching himself as he fumbled with some strange object in his hands that kept producing clicking noises.
… she could feed it to the other one, maybe. Unless the disease wipes them out both.
