Here is my revised animal RPG. I will be an American bison or buffalo named Buff and a moose who's name I haven't thought of yet. Anyone who joins in can just use any animal found in the area of the American West. Humans are fine too. I may have a human character too. This takes place in 1868 North Dekota. The plot might later move to another location as the characters may decide to go somewhere else. Feel free to join in and just have fun. First, just let me know who your character will be.
-
I will be Greycliff, a shewed, clever and dangerous wolf. He's 27 in dog years.
-
It was hot and dry on the prairie. The it was early September and the rains wouldn't be arriving for another few weeks. Buff, a young buffalo, was walking toward a group of trees where he always went to get out of the hot sun. After spending all day eating grass, he was tired and just wanted to rest.
-
Greycliff is crouched in the shrubs, waiting to ambush him.
-
As the wolves prepared for their attack, a bull moose stumbled upon them at that very moment.
He said, "Uh, oh. What are you doing here?"
-
Greycliff turns around and snarls at the moose, exposing his teeth.
-
The moose kicked him in the face and said, "Get out of here. Tou aren't allowed here!"
(moose are not to bright :blink: )
-
Greycliff starts whimpering and sprints off as fast as he can.
-
The moose yelled after him, "You are a sisy! You know that? Geez, you don't even have a pack!"
-
"What a bitch." thinks Greycliff in his wolf lauguage.
-
Just then, Buff steped in his way and said, "Hey, where are you going? What were you doing in my home?"
-
"RRRRRRRGH!" growls Greycliff as he curls his lip and clamps his jaws around Buff's neck.
-
Buff throws him off and said, "Oh, yopu've done it now! You just messed with the wrong buffalo!"
He butted the wolf with his head sending him 10into the air.
-
Greycliff gets up with only a few minor injuries. He gets ready to pounce again.
-
Buff yelled, "I didn't hit you that herd. If you come at me again, you won't be getting back up! Get out of here before I change my mind and kill you anyway!"
Just then, the moose came over and said, "Still at it, are you? I told you to get lost! You can't take both of us!"
(Lets assume that all the animals can talk to each other. Wolves included.)
-
"Stay the f*** out of this." yells Greycliff as he lunges for the moose and sinks his teeth into the moose's leg.
-
Just then, another buffalo arrived.
He asked, "What is going on here?"
Buff said, "This wolf tried to kill me!"
The other buffalo said, "He did, did he? Listen, you mangy mutt, nobody tries to hurt my brother! nd let that moose go!"
-
The wolf lets go of the moose's leg with his mouth caked in blood.
-
Buff'a older borther ordered, "Now get lost!"
-
"I'll be back." says Greycliff as he sprints away into the woods.
-
Buff asked, "Are you alright?"
The moose replied, "Yeah, I guess. My leg is messed up."
Buff's brother said, "I've seen worse. It will get better. Not as bad is it looks. Buff, why don't you look after him until he gets better. I have to get back to the herd."
Buff said, "Alright, Rhen. See you later."
The moose said, "I'm Myles, by the way."
Buff said, "My name is Buff. My brother will probably bring the herd closer to here in case that wolf comes back with some of his buddies. You'll be safe with me. Come on."
He turned and walked towards the grove of trees.
-
Meanwhile, Greycliff is lieing next to a freshwater spring. He notices a rabbit getting a drink. The wolf slowly gets up, keeping a close eye on his target. At the right moment he pounces, he clamps his teeth round the rabbit's neck and bites its head off. Then he feasts on the body. "Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits. I'm sick of eating *** damn rabbits!"
-
Just then, a voice asked, "Do you have a pack? You don't do you?"
-
"No." replies Greycliff
-
The mysterious voice said, "Perhaps I can help you then. That moose has teased me long enough about not being able to catch him. Now he will pay. I'll help you get that buffalo if you give me a share of the profits."
(Sorry it took me so long to post. I was in the wreck room playing Star Wars Battlefront with the surround sound system. ;) )
-
"Alright, you have a deal." says Greycliff, giving a sinister smile.
(Sorry I took so long too. I was playing Halo online and now I'm watching a doctumentary on the Histroy Channel about the Titanic.)
-
A cougar emerged from behind a rock and said, "Alright, but I sugest taking out his older brother first. That buffalo has also been a thorn in my paw. We'll get him tomorrow."
(Cool, I'm watching the same thing about the Titanic. I was playing Battlefront again, shooting at Gungans pretending that they were Jar Jar Binks.)
-
To avoid any any more attacks from the wolf, Buff's herd decide to move Northwest, into the Montana, Idaho area. Greycliff and the Cougar arrive too late. Greycliff starts snifing the area. "They went this way." he says as he sprints Northwest.
(Now I'm watching Modern Marvels, one about Hurricane Katrina.)
-
Rhen said, "We'll be pretty safe from wolves here. There are not many around these parts anymore. The humans have driven them away. Besides, those trouble makers back there wouldn't follow us all this way."
Myles said, "Look at the mountians. We didn't have these back where we came from. And look at all the trees."
-
Meanwhile, Greycliff and the Cougar are hiding inside a deep cavern in the Tobacco Root mountains. A few days ahead of Buff's herd. "I have a feeling they will be coming through this pass in a few days. When we see the herd we'll ambush them."
-
THe cougar said, "Surely you don't intend to attack a whole buffalo herd. Even a small one. I say we ambush his brother first. Rhen scouts ahead of the alone so noby lse will be around. He is the herd's leader. He also probably thinks that there ane none of us here. My name is Colgar, by the way. You won't have to live off rabbits any longer. Here he comes now. Lets go."
(Perhaps we should try to keep violence from getting too far out of hand. I don't think the mods care much for extreme violence.)
-
"My name is Greycliff" Greycliff ambush Rehn ans sinks his teeth into the Buffalo's throat.
-
Colgar said, "Surprise, buffalo!"
He dug his claws into Rhen's side.
After several hours, Rhen didn't come back and Buff was starting to worry.
He said, "Come on, Myles. He has been gone way too long to have gotten lost. I'm going to go look for him."
-
Rehn lies defeated, Greycliff and Colgar have completley gutted him. "Now, what are we going to do with the rest of the body?" He says, licking his chopps.
-
Colgar said, "Look, here comes that other buffalo and the moose. Lets get them too. We will hide behind those bushes and ambush them."
-
When Buff and the Moose get close enough, Greycliff and Colgar jump out from their hiding place, Greycliff attacks Buff, while Colgar attacks Myles.
-
Buff slammed him against a rock.
Myles jumped into the air and Colgar lost his grip.
The moose said, "Lets face it, you suck!"
He charged at the cougar but he jumped out of the way.
Buff charged at him and smacked him against the rock.
"You son of a bi***!" he shouted. Colgar jumped on his back and started scratching him with his claws. Myles smacked the cougar with his antlers.
(nobody is going to die here or anything. Otherwise, this RPG would end real quick. No more good guys die in this part and if any bad guys die, it would suck too. The characters can get really messed up, though. Please don't take so long to post. I've been waithing all day. :cry2 :p )
-
As Colgar got to his feet, he said, "Your brother ain't comming to save you this time. We took care of that, didn't we, Greycliff!"
-
"Oh hell yeah. I love the taste of fresh brains." says Greycliff.
-
Buff shouted, "No! You're lying!"
Colgar replied, "Don't worry, you will be joining him shortly. Myles rammed him with his antlers and Colgar screamed in pain. One of his eyes had been gouged out. Buff rammed Greycliff, oneof his horns leaving a gash in the wolf's side.
Colgar said, "I've had it with yoe, moose! You haven't seen the last of me! Greycliff, that buffalo is injured. We can retreat for now. He'll die soon anyway with those injuries."
The two ran off.
Buff discovered th body of his brother. Myles let him griev for a time and said, "Buff, we have to get you some help."
It was starting to get dark. Myles helped Buff until they arrived near a two story house.
Myles said, "I have heard about humans sometimes heping animals. That looks like your only chance."
(earlier, I mentioned that there would probably be a human character. Perhaps one that would take pity on Buff and Myles. Could you do the role of the human too?)
-
The house is just outside the Tobacco Root mountains. There is a small garden full of corn stalks, golden wheat and other vegtables and there is a barn with a horse pasture. There is a woman pulling weeds out of the tomato patch when Buff collapses extremly close to the garden. The woman notices the young buffalo laying unconsious in the field. "Oh, my lord." she says as she stops pulling weeds and tends to the wounded bison.
-
(sorry it took me so long. I was finishing Ace Combat 5.)
Although animals were not suposed to talk to humans (they had the ability to but chose not to. Not even when they were attached to the person) Buff decided he didn't care. He had many questions about humans.
He said, "Thanks for helping me. Do you have a family here?"
The woman got a shocked lok on her face as if she had never seen a talking animal before. (Duh! :D )
-
"Oh my god!" she says, the woman turns white and her eyes nearly bug out of her head.
-
Buff said, "Calm down. I mean you no harm. I was attached by a cougar and a wolf. They killed my brother."
Tears were starting to gather in his eyes.
He continued, "I will get them if it is the last thing I ever do. If I die, they will die with me. He was the only true family I had left. No, all I have is my friend, Myles. He is the moose out side. So, are you the only human here?"
-
"No, I live with me husband, Semias (shay-mus) and baby daughter, Abaigeal (AB-i-gel). She is the first of our family to be born in America. I'm Ailis (AY-lish)." she replies.
(Ailis and Semias are Irish immigrants.)
-
Buff replied, "Thank you for your kindness. If there is any way I can repay you when I get beter, just let me know. By the way, can Myles stay in here tonight? He is injured too but it is not bad. I just worry that those killers will come back. By the way, Myles can talk to people too if he wants. We all can."
-
"Alright then. SEMIAS!"
"What?" the Irishman replies as he steps out the frot door with a beer mug in his hand."
"There are some injured animals that came down from the mountain. There's a wolf and mountain lion chasing after them, can you stay up and watch them over the night?"
"Just let me finish me ale and get me shotgun." he says he goes back inside.
"You two can sleep in the barn until the little one recovers. Semias will watch over you for the night to make sure those nasty creatures don't bother you lads." Ailis says as Semius comes out with a 12-gauge, break-action shotgun.
-
Buff said, "My herd dosen't like me. They always hated me because I was a bit of a risk taker. The only thing keeping me from getting banished was Rhen. With him gone, they will banish me for sure. My name is Buff, by the way. Is there any way I can repay you for helping me?
-
"Oh, you don't need to do anything." he replies.
-
The buffalo replied, "I owe you my life though and would just like to repay you."
-
"Well, I don't know how you can repay me." Semias replies.
-
Buff said, "Well, if you think of anything, just let me know. If you ever need help round the farm, I'll see what I can do. Well, good night. I should probably get some rest."
-
Semias loads his double barreled shotgun with fresh shells, pulls up a milking stool and sits outside the barn door.
-
Colgar, now with only one eye, said, "I'm going to go after those two tomorrow. I need some rest and time to recover."
Just then, thunder rumbled in the distance.
Back in the barn, Myles said, "Sounds like rain. If it rains, it will wash away our scent and those monsters won't be able to sniff us out."
Buff shouted to Semias, "Do you want to come in here? It is going to rain."
-
"Oh, maybe. Me don't want to catch a cold." He says as he comes inside and sits up in the hayloft with his shotgun at the ready.
-
Just in time too. It started pouring outside with lightning and thunder.
Colgar said, "Greycliff, I couldn't sniff them out. The scent was washed away. Somehow, I think that buffalo is still alive. I would have found a body if he had died."
-
"This sucks!" says Greycliff as he licks the wound on his side.
-
I would have found a boy if he had died."
THere is a mistake in here. It is supposed to be I would have found a body if he had died."
Colgar said, "Well, we still have plenty of meat on that other buffalo. At least a weeks worth. Why are you so determined to kill him anyway? That moose killed my mate. What did the buffalo do to piss you off so much?"
-
"The herd killed off my pack. They chased all of us off a cliff and I was the only one who survived." He says.
-
Colgar replied, "Well, you are in luck. While I was out, there was a smart ass wolf pack leader who got on my bad side. I killed him. His pack said he was such a jerk that they would even allow someone like me to be their leader. I tld them about you. Perhaps, you can be their new leader."
-
"Perfect." Greycliff sniggers with a sinister smile on his face.
-
The next day, it was still raining. Buff was in the barn munching on hay.
Myles said, "We have to be careful from now on. Once you are better, we have to watch out fro those monsters."
Buff answered, "I don't think I'll hunt down those two. I'll only get even if our paths cross again."
-
(As soon as I finish one of my RPGs, I am going to do a Star Wars Episode III parody rpg. Would you like to join? Im going to be Grievous, Anakin, and Palpatine only I will change some of the names.)
-
Maybe.
-
It would be three months before Buff and Myles would meet their enemies again. Buff had recovered after a couple of weeks.
He said to his rescers, "Thanks again for your help. I miht stop by for a visit sometime if it is alright with you."
(Don't skip ahead to when they meet the bad guys aain please. I would like for other things to happen first.)
-
Meanwhile, in the mountains. "We've been staying here for months and still no sign of them!" whines Greycliff.
-
Colgar replied, "Actually, I found out where they have been. Some humans apparently saved them."
-
"Just great," moans Greycliff, "I guess they left and now we don't know where the hell they are now."
-
Colgar asked, "So what do you want to do? You have a new pack now."
-
Greycliff forms his pack into a huddle. Then the wolves spread out each one going in a different direction. "I told them to spread out and search for them. Eventually they will come across those two bulk-heads."
-
Colgar said, "By the way, it hasn't been months. It was only three weeks since our little fight."
Manwhile, down in the valley, Buff and Myles were taking shelter in the forest. The weather had gotten bitter cold and it was beginning to snow. Myles had lost his antlers (as moose do in the winter).
Myles said, "I hate winter. There just is too little food."
Buff replied, "Yeah. Hey, look over there."
Myles looked to see a human boy all alone. He looked like he was about 12 years old.
Buff asked Myles, "What do you think he is doing here all alone? He must be freezing."
The boy huddled up under a tree when Buff came over.
He asked, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Who are you?"
(PS: don't forget about Raptor Squadron)
-
"Moose can talk?" says the boy.
-
Myles replied, "Yeah. Buffalo and a lot of other animals can too. This is Buff. Who are you?"
(My SW Episode III parody RPG will be called Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sick)
-
"I'm Tom. I live with my Father in a cabin not far from here."
(Ok.)
-
Myles said, "We should probably get you home. It is getting dark and this place is dangerous. There is a cougar and a wolf ha hanging around. Are you lost or something?"
-
"No, my cabin is just over that hill." replies Tom.
-
Myles bent down and said, "Here. Get on my back and I'll take you home. It will be quicher than just walking."
-
"Thanks." he says as he gets on Myles's back.
-
Myles carried him up to the house and said, "Well, I guess we'll see you later. Just be careful when you go out in these woods alone. And don't go out alone after dark. See you later."
As they were walking away, Buff asked, 'Hey, do you want to go see those oter peoeple? We haven't visited in a while."
Myles said, "I guess so."
They went over to the house.
-
"Why hello again lads. What are you up to?" asks Semias.
-
Buff alswered, "We just stopped by for a visit. Its been a while. Um, this is probably a dimb question but can we come in. Don't want to hold the door open the whole time do you? It is real cold out here."
-
"Uh, I don't think you large animals can fit through such a small door." he replies.
-
Buff said, "Perhaps in the barn then? It should be warmer in there."
Myles said, "Yeah. I'm not use to it getting this cold back where I came from."
Buff added, "So can we just talk in the barn? I'm freezing my butt off out here."
-
"Well, ok" the Irishman replies.
-
So they went out to the barn. Buff sat down in the hay while Myles stood over by the wall.
Buff asked, "So, how have things been going?"
(btw, I also posted in Raptor Squadron)
-
"Oh, not much. I harvested me crops a few days before it got so cold." replies Semias.
-
Myles said, "It must get cold early around here. GOsh, Buff, you were complaining about freezing your butt off. At least you have all that thick fur. I just have this short hair. Talk about freezing.
Then Buff asked, "So, how is the family doing?"
-
Meanwhile, Colgar said, "I found some deer in the forest. Perhaps we can just settle for them for now. That will give us some food."
-
"Good idea." says Greycliff.
-
The two along with the pack snuck up on the herd of deer. Then, they attacked. The wolves began attacking every one in sight. Just then, a doe kicked one and ran off into the forest.
Colgar said, "Ah, just let her go. We have enough meat to last us for two weeks."
-
"Hehe, yeah." says Greycliff as he digs into one of the cadavers.
(Sorry it took so long, I was playing Halo and forgot.)
-
Meanwhile, Buff and Myles were leaving the farm now. The sun was now starting to come up and the storm was gone. THey passed by the cabin where Tom lived and saw him out in the yard. Buff walked over and said, "Hi, it is us again."
-
"Hi." Tom replies.
-
Myles asked, "Are you trying to clear snow from the path? I can help you."
Buff added, "So can I."
-
"I'm not clearing a path, I'm building a snowman." says Tom.
-
"Whats a snowman?" ,the bison asked.
-
"A statue made of snow, silly." says Tom in a playful manner.
-
Buff said, "Oh. Duh. Guess that was a dumb question. So, are your parents home?"
-
"My Pa's out huntin and my Ma's inside washing clothes." says Tom.
-
Myles asked, "Um, they won't freak out if they see us out here, whii they? It seems a lot of humans think all moose are dangerous beasts who would kill you as soon as look at you."
Buff added, "Same with buffalo."
-
Just then, Buff heard something move in the brush. He stuck his head in and saw a doe, completely terrified.
He asked, "What is the matter?"
She replied, "Is the human gone?"
Buff answered, "He won't hurt you. He's just a kid. Come on out. You're safe."
She walked out of the bushes.
Myles asked, "Who are you?"
The doe replied, "My name is Blaze. My whole herd was killed by a pak of wolves and a mountain lion."
Myles said, "You are safe with us."
-
Buff said, "Hmm. Blaze is a funny name for a deer. Oh, well. You'll be alright now."
-
(BTW, I went ahead and posted my SW Episode III parody rpg. It is ready for people to join.)
-
A few weeks later, Greycliff's pack and Colgar have run out of food.
(Sorry it took so long.)
-
Buff, Blaze, and Myles were walking through the forest in search of food.
Just then, Blaze said, "Wait, I think I hear something."
Myles said, "I think we're being watched. Let get out of here."
(Would you like to join that parody rpg? Nobody else has and I don't want to have posted it for nothing.)
-
(I'll join it.)
-
"Damn it, we missed that one deer that escaped!" whines Greycliff.
-
Colgar said, "Don't worry. I'm sure with the new pack, we can take them down now."
-
"Yeah." says Greycliff as he points his nose up to the air and howls.
-
Myles muttered, "Oh crap! We just walked into a trap!"
Buff said, "Lets get out of here! Tom't house is not that far away. I don't think these jerks will go near humans."
As they took off running, Myles added, "Just some helpful advice. If you run into one of them, I found that a nice, hard kick in the head is very effective."
(I'm going to have to go to bed now.)
-
They reach Tom's dad's house in time, Tom notices the wilf pack coming towards their house and he runs inside to get his father. In less than a minute, Tom's father comes out with a 12-gauge break action side-by-side shotgun and loads it with fresh shells. He carefully aims at one of the wolves and pulls the trigger. THe wolf falls to the ground, dead.
(Good night.)
-
ooc: This is a big "if" but IF I get some time, I might join up in this one. ;) If someone can summarize this in one post that would be great....I don't have quite the time to look through six pages all at once. :P: Just bring me up to speed.
And if I join as anything, I might come in as a badger or hare.
-
Basically, a buffalo herd and a moose from Kansas migrates to Montana in the 1860s to avoid being attacked by a wolf named Greycliff. The wolf meets a cougar and they go after the herd, after the leader of the herd dies, a younger buffalo named Buff and the moose (named Myles) leave the herd to look for the lost leader. They are ambushed by Greycliff and the cougar (Named Colgar) and sustain serious injury. They get help from an Irish couple and go on their way. Menawhile, Colgar helps Greycliff get a new pack and they ambush a herd of dear. One of them escapes. Meanwhile, Buff and Myles come across this cabin in the woods and meet a boy named Tom. They eventually meet the dear that escaped and they are attacked again by the wolf pack.
(Suggestion: A hare would be more likley to appear in Montana than a badger.)
-
Well you just said "American West" so I had no clue where you were. :lol:
-
It is alright. It isn't too late to join. Always open to anybody who wants to join in.
-
ooc: Character info posted in the sticky at the top of this forum...look it over and make sure it's A-OK with you two. ;)
-
Colgar ran at Buff and lept at him. Buff became enraged and gored the cougar with his horns He pinned Colgar against a tree. The cougar screamed in agony as he hung from the bison's horn. The horn hadn't damaged any organs but was extremely painful none the less.
Buff was about to finish Colgar off but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
He tossed the injured cougar aside and said, "GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
Colgar limped out of site. The rest of the pack retreated.
Buff walked over to Tom and said, "Thanks. We would probably be wolf chow if you hadn't gotten help."
Meanwhile, Colgar was licking his injuries when he noticed Greycliff.
-
Morgan, the hare, sniffed around. She could sense predators nearby. Her instinct told her to freeze until she could locate it. Twitching her ears around, she could hear huffing to her left, but it wasn't of a carnivore. A buffalo. She saw a cougar limp away, but there could be others, so why was the buffalo so collected and not trying to leave the area?
Maybe there was more to this herbivore than met the eye. Crouching low, Morgan, inched towards the buffalo, if for nothing else, to see where the scent of the cougar came from so that she avoided that direction.
-
Myles came over.
he asked, 'Are you alright?"
Buff replied, "Yeah. He didn't hurt me."
Myles said, "Didn't you say you would kill them if you got the chance?"
The buffalo answered, "It is a lot harder to actually go through with it than it sounds. Sure, a meat eater like them has to do it every day but someone like me... I just couldn't do it. Hopefully, he learned a lesson from this."
Blaze asked, "Are they gone?"
Myles replied, "Yeah. All of them."
-
"Pa will make sure they don't attack you again." says Tom.
-
Colgar was still working on his injury. It hurt bad but wasn't fatel. He would live to fight another day. It just felt real bad.
-
"Here, let me take care of that. You need to rest." says Greycliff as he licks Colgar's wound.
-
Colgar moaned, "I don't think we should go after that bison anymore."
-
"I agree, we should try and find a smaller herd to hunt down." the wolf says.
-
Colgar added, "Besides, he could have killed me but let me live instead. My kind has this thing where if someone shows mercy on you, you can't continue to hunt them. That moose isn't worth the trouble anymore either. HOw many pack members did we lose?"
-
"Only two, one from the bison and another from a shotgun blast." Greycliff says.
(I just put up an RPG if you want to join that.)
-
Morgan edged closer as the bison continued to speak. Obviously this wasn't the first attack like this nor would it be the last.
"Excuse me sir, where did the cougar go?" asked Morgan, making her presence known. "Last thing I want to do is follow the one who would eat me." She looked up at the side of the bison--a grand fellow he was, truthful probably. Then she saw the wolf. She was about to bolt, but changed her mind just as quickly. If it was hungy it would eaten the bison before she had even come close to these two. No, the wolf wasn't a danger...for now.
-
Buff looked down at the rabit and said, "Oh, hi. If he has any common sense, far from here. If he had cought me any sooner, I'd have killed him for what he did to Rhen. He's been on my tail for over two months now. Hopefully, he actually learned something. If you're worried about him conning after you, you're welcome to hang out with us."
-
"You all can stay in the cellar if you want." says Tom.
-
Myles said, "Don't be afraid of him. This human is a friend. He won't hurt you."
-
Myles, Buff and Morgan go into the cellar, his Dad stays with them, keeping his gun pointed at the cellar door.
-
Buff said, "I think you can relax. I don't think they are going to try to get in here."
-
"Ok, I'll padlock the door, just in case they come back. You can never be too careful." Tom's dad says as he exits the celler and locks it.
-
Buff said, "So, what do we do if we need to go out in the middle of the night?"
-
"Oh, alright. I'll leave the door unlocked." says Tom's father as he unlocks the door.
-
That night, Buff woke up to hear a taping sound on the wood. He pushed the cellar doors up with his head and saw Blaze standing there.
She said, "Buff, I'm scared. Can I come down there with you?"
The bison replied, "Come on."
Once Blaze was with them in the basement, she said, "I really don't trust humans."
Buff said, "Don't trust all humans but trust the ones we know. They saved our lives."
-
ooc: Time to set some ground rules here now that you have a new player who has very different rules on how role plays work.
Myles, Buff and Morgan go into the cellar, his Dad stays with them, keeping his gun pointed at the cellar door.
1.) Big, fat no-no. I'll take care of Morgan, and you take care of your characters. I'll decide if Morgan accepts and goes into the cellar.
2.) Wait up. I can't get on as often as you two can. Maybe one reply per person in a rotating fashion so that no character gets left behind.
3.) Why one sentence replies? Sure doesn't leave the other much to work with. I always try to write at least a good paragraph because I can't do much with one sentence replies.
That's all I have....those two alone will see many of these go a long way. :)
-
Morgan looked at the bison. "Join you? Join you in what? Where are you going?" She was confused. This was a wandering creature for sure, but constant migration wasn't something hares were naturally accustomed to doing. After all, these grasslands were all she ever knew, but her leverets had gone off on their own to find their own places to call home, and she could go far away too if it meant protection. The bison seemed willing to give that.

Buff said, "I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I decided to just settle here. I don't think I introduced myself yet. My name is Buff and that is Myles and the deer is Blaze. I like this place very much. I just Rhen was still here."
1.) Big, fat no-no. I'll take care of Morgan, and you take care of your characters. I'll decide if Morgan accepts and goes into the cellar.
2.) Wait up. I can't get on as often as you two can. Maybe one reply per person in a rotating fashion so that no character gets left behind.
3.) Why one sentence replies? Sure doesn't leave the other much to work with. I always try to write at least a good paragraph because I can't do much with one sentence replies.
That's all I have....those two alone will see many of these go a long way
(I agree. Perhaps we do go too fast. And we don't need to control someone elses characters.)
-
Myles then asked, "So, what is your name.?
(sorry for a short post but there is also the last post to work with.)
-
"I'm Morgan," the hare said quickly. "I make my life wandering about. If you're curious, yes I have mothered and weaned leverets before, and no, I don't have a mate at this moment, so there are no others with me."
She looked at the rest of the group. "Who are the rest of these and how did you manage to travel together? Some of you are natural enemies."
-
Buff said, "Well, the moose is Myles and the deer is Blaze. Oh, and the human is Tom."
The bison lay down on the ground. He ws tired and wanted some rest.
-
Morgan nodded appreciatively, but wasn't entirely satisfied. "That's not what I asked," she said, "though it does help to know your names. Why again, do you travel together? You're natural enemies as much as Tom and me could be."
ooc: If you respond F-14, I'd put this on pause right after, until Cyber returns from his vacation.
-
Buff answered, "Well, you mean the humans? Well, those predites attacked us and tore me up pretty bad. Myles said he had heard of some humand actually helping animals in need. So we tried it. We met a farmer who treated my injuries and after a while, I got better. Then, we found Tom in the woods. We thought he was lost but he wasn't. There were bad guys near by so we gave him a ride home just in case. We have kind become friends since then. Mind you, I don't trust just any human though."
-
Morgan nodded again. "The safety in numbers cliche," she said, rather quietly, "can't say I've ever tried it since hares mostly are soliditary and do not live in groups. Our cousins, the rabbits do that stuff, and well, they breed like rabbits, what can you say?" she laughed.
She looked Tom over. He seemed friendly enough. Buff probably wouldn't be around him if he meant any true harm. It was just so unnatural....but fun in a way. There could be some benefit having all different kinds traveling together in a pinch. "I guess in that case, I will join you guys, on the condition that any predator of mine refrain from drooling on me." :P:
-
Buff said, "If you mean the wolves, they are not our friends. But I'll keep them away from you. Nothing to worry about. They won't come near humans. That is another advantage to having human friends."
-
ooc: We need a cyberlizard to make this role play move Westward ho. ;)
-
"Who knows, we may run into those grass eating pricks again, eventually." Greycliff says to Colgar.
-
The cougar said, "I can't go after him again. He spared me. It is a practice of my kind to allow them to live if they let you live. Clearly, the buffalo is no killer. The moose, I don't know about. I already lost an eye to him. I'd rather not lose my other one."
Meanwhile, Buff was standing under a tree looking at the juicy leaves that were just out of his reach.
Myles said, "Forget it. We are just going to have to settle for grass today."
he buffalo replied, "Watch this!"
He reared on his hind legs and lept into the air, grabbed the branch, and, and pulled it out of the tree, leaves and all.
He said, "You were saying?"
Myles replied, "Well, alright. I was wrong."
Buff shouted, "Dig in!"
-
Morgan stared at the leaves, not at all interested in them at first.
"And what may I ask is wrong with grass?" she inquired, picking up one of the leaves and looking it over. Giving it a nibble, she didn't find it too bad, but certainly not what she was used to. "Mm...these aren't that bad, but I'd sure prefer the grass any day. What do you call these?" she asked the buffalo who seemed to be quite happy to get this food.
-
Buff replied, "Well, I like grass and all, but I just get tired of it. These leaves are sweet and juicy."
The moose added, "Just watch out for pine needles. Yuck! Those are nasty. But these leaves are good."
Buff said, "I just wanted something different today. I just get tired of eating grass every day."
He grabbed a few leaves and started chering them up.
-
After the group had finished with their meal, they relaxed under a tree.
Buff's ears suddenly perked up and he got up saying, "Hey, I think we're being watched! Who's there?"
-
Colgar stayed behind to cleanse his wounds while Greycliff and his herd watched the group of animals eat.
-
Myles said, "Oh great, it is those wolves again!"
Buff said, "How many times do we have to keep kicking your butts before you'll finally get it?"
-
The herd of wolves attack from all directions, two wolves attack Myles, the other two attack Blaze. One wolf nears Morgan, then another wolf says, "Leave her, the pack leader will not tolerate bringing back rabbits. Greycliff and Buff face each other in a stand off.
-
Buff asked, "For heaven's sake! What do you want with us? I don't taste good. Really. What did we ever do to you?"
-
"We're carnivores, It's what we do to survive." says Greycliff with a sinister smile.
-
"We're carnivores, It's what we do to survive." says Greycliff with a sinister smile.
-
"We're carnivores, this is what we do to survive." says Greycliff with a sinister smile.
-
Buff replied, "Yeah, but there are like, a bunch of other animals other than us around here. Back off now! Don't make me kill you."
(After you post next, we should wait for RR to post here.)
-
ooc: What's with the triple post there Cyber? :P: And yes, please wait for me. :D
ic:
Morgan looked at the wolf staring at her now, as a whole pack of them had surrounded the group in no time at all. The others seemed to have run into this pack before by the expressions and language used. "So you two know each other? Well that's just great," Morgan grinned innocently, taking a couple of steps back closer to Buff.
"I'm a hare too," she protested, hating being called a rabbit all the time. "Rabbits don't have the guts to do this," she explained, taking a quick lash out at the wolf closest to her with a clawed hind leg, but perhaps age or carelessness was catching up with her, since she missed her target and swiped at the air. "Uhh...we're playing 'three strikes' correct?" she stammered.
-
Buff said, "Yes, we have met. More times than I care to think about. THe first one of you freaks that gets near this rabbit gets my hoof in your face!"
Myles smacked a couple of wolves aside with his antlers. Blaze kicked the wolf that was attacking her. Myles slammed his attackers into a tree and said, "Don't mess with me, fool!"
-
Buff growled at the wolves as they came closer. (yes, buffalo can growl.)
Myles tossed another wolf against a tree.
-
(I triple posted? Oops, :bang :bang I never even knew! :slap :slap :slap )
Greycliff is thrown against a rock by buff, a loud crunch is heard and his chest is in complete pain. "OOOOOW!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!" Greycliff yells in pain. (assuming animals don't know what a rib cage is.)
-
Buff replied, "Uh, I don't know. But I warned you not to get near me!"
Myles said, "Um, lets get out of here."
Blaze said, "Yeah."
Buff said, "Come on."
They ran away as fast as they could.
Buff said, "I didn't think I hit him that hard. Hopefully, he won't mess with us again."
The moose replied, "I hope so."
-
Buff suddenlt stopped running.
Myles asked, "What's wrong?"
Buff replied, "What did I just do? I didn't mean to hurt him that bad. He may need help. I'm going back."
Myles asked, "Have you lost your mind?"
Buff replied, "I don't know what is wrong but meybe the humand can help. I don't care what he did, he doesn't deserve to suffer. I'm going back."
-
Buff turns sround and goes back to where Greycliff was last seen, no one is there once he reaches the battle site.
-
THe buffalo looked around, puzzled.
He wondered, "Where the heck did he go? He couldn't have gone that far if he was hurt that bad. I can sniff him out."
Just then, Myles caught up and said, "Buff, this is a bad idea. Lets just go."
Buff said, "You're right. Lets go. This was a dumb idea."
-
Meanwhile, Greycliff has reached Colgar and is in critical condition, "Colgar! Help meeeee!" he howls as his left lung collapses.
-
Colgar said, "What the hell happened??? I warned you not to mess with that bison. You didn't listen. I don't know what to do. I don't know if this will work, but maybe the humans can help you. They helped the buffalo."
-
"No, it's too late. I can feel my control slip away." moans Greycliff. Suddenly, he gasps, "HARD TO BREATHE! HARD TO BREATHE!"
(Btw, I have chapter 21 of Time Gate X up if you haven't already read it.)
-
Colgar asked, "WHat? WHat are you talking about? Why can't you breath?"
-
Th-th-th-that b-b-b-buffalo th-threw me against a r-r-r-r-rock, s-so hard I f-f-felt s-s-s-s-something crunch in th-the side of m-m-m-my chest!" Yelps Greycliff, "N-n-n-now, I c-c-c-can't b-b-b-breathe!" He take a huge breath of air and exhales.
-
The cougar muttered, "Oh crap. Hat are we going to do?"
-
"C-c-c-colgar?"
-
"What is it?"
-
"Get thaaaa, get thaaaaa. OOOOOOooooooooooog, AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaauggggh!" Greycliff manages to choke out before he falls over dead.
-
ooc: You two are brutal. :o :P:
ic:
Morgan looked at the dying wolf until he breathed his last. Catching up with the buffalo, she added, "Defeat him, you did, but I doubt that was the smartest of moves....wolves live in packs you know, so while you may have taken down one, do you think you could do the same to four surrounding you, teeth and claws ready to strike?"
She looked Buff in the eye before he could walk any father. "You're a strong one, Buff, but you know nothing of how to use that strength. You're smart to realize that wolves are indeed a threat to herbivores, but you are certainly not wise. You have four feet same as me...use them. Scatter. Taking down a wolf does nothing else but give them a greater psychological boost to come do the same to you...and there will be many coming at once. I've seen too many hunts in my time....they'll pick one to go after...and next time it'll be you."
-
Buff asked, "What are you suggesting? I can't outrun wolves. They run a lot faster than me."
-
Morgan continued to look at him, seriously, "I'm suggesting you think before you act, because soon you'll find yourself in a position you wished you weren't in--and it happened because you looked before you leaped...in this case you have a dead wolf and an angry pack of wolves licking their chops not ten feet away from us..."
She was ready to bolt as well, not wishing to wait around any longer.
-
Buff replied, "Alright, then lets get out of here."
He took off running. Myles said, "Yeah. I ain't hanging arond any longer."
Buff was running as fast as he could go. He was careful not to accidently trample on Morgan though. (a 1,000 pound bison would flatten a rabbit. :o :p ) She was still ble to remain in front of him. Myles seemed to be almost as fast.
Buff said, "Hey, lets cross the fiver. The water will wash away our scent so they can't sniff us out. Plus, the water will slow them down too."
-
Buff and the others were already a good distance ahead.
Colgar ordered, "Don't just stand there, fools! Go after them!"
-
(occ: alright, we need someone to be another bad guy please)
-
(occ: is anyone ever going to post here again? I'v been waiting for days. :cry2 :cry :bang )
-
Just then, Tom and his Dad come out of hiding. Tom's father was taking him hunting and saw the wolves getting ready to attack. He cocks his lever action 243 and plugs a round into a wolf's head. He jumps out from behind the bushes and starts firing rounds into the air. "GET OUT OF HEEEEEERE! GET OUUT! GO!" yells Tom's father as he keeps shooting until his gun is dry. By then the wolves and Colgar have fled.
-
Colgar said to the other wolves, "Alright. I think that buffalo is junxed. Every time we go after him, one of us gets hurt or worse! We need a new plan. They have some human friends. What if we make human friends of our own? A hunter perhaps? We'd better choose carefully or we'll get blasted though. But surely there is SOME hunter around here intrested in a buffalo. What do you all think?"
-
"Well, we kill to eat. So ANY human would shoot us on sight." says a random wolf in the pack.
-
The cougar replied, "I think I have a way to persuade them otherwise. If we find someone, let me take care of everything. Catch them when they are asleep and you can take away their gun. Then they have to listen."
-
"But is there a way to break into a padlocked cabin? Or if we DO manage to get inside, how are we going to break into an indestructible gun safe? And what about sharp objects like those things they call knives. Us wolves interfere with human living so much, they won't even show us any mercy. We kill their livestock, we kill their children. Heck, we even try to kill them." says another random wolf.
-
Meanwhile, up in a tree, to fierce yellow eyes watch. A Kestral, named Swiftfeather, watches the herbivores. His eyes almost seem to bore into the bodies of the plant-eating mamels.
-
Buff said, "I think we lost those jerks. I've just about had enough of them. We should do something."
He laid down on the ground to rest.
Myles replied, "I'm with you on that. They are out of control."
He started munching on some grass to calm his nerves.
-
Swiftfeather swoops to another tree. and turns back to the Buffulo, the intestity of his eyes increasing.
-
Myles walked over to Buff and whispered, "There is a bird in that tree giving me the creeps. It is just sraring at us. Real creepy."
Buff replied, "It is just a bird. What do you think its going to do?"
-
"Oh my dear boy, I will not harm you, but I can do much more then you suspect." Everyone looked around wildly. "Oh, did you not know that I could talk? For future referance, I can."
-
Myles asked, "Ok, who are you?"
-
"Some call my Swiftfeather. Others are to terriefied of me to speak of me, but that is only those I hunt." Swiftfeather says. "Which does not include rabbits, I may add."
-
Buff asked, "So, what do you want with us?"
-
"I wish to aid you agansit the wolves, for my goals dictate it." Shade says simply. He begins to preen his feathers.
-
Buff said, "Um, we don't fight them unless they attack us. I'd rather not go after them if I don't have to. It is always better to avoid confrontations with them."
(occ: maybe we should let RogerRabbit catch up too.)
-
"I can tell you if they are planning an attack." Swiftfeather replys. "I am skilled with these talons." He added.
OOC: Yeah.
-
ooc: I'll reply later tonight....hopefully.
-
Morgan ran with the others as they left the vicinity of the wolves. Stopping for a bit, a kestrel had flown down. Morgan instinctively hid under the buffalo, since kestrels sometimes might decide on a snack of lapine. It mentioned that it never ate rabbits, but Morgan wasn't too sure of that. Rabbits perhaps, but she wasn't a rabbit.
"And what of hares? Do you serve those at your cocktail parties?" she asked rather quickly.
-
"Don't worry. I almost never attack the mammalian kind. I prefer pigions, small storks, and Songbirds."
-
Buff asked, "So, why do you want to go after the wolves?"
-
"Because of what they did to my family." Swiftfeather say, for the first time, his eyes show an expression. Saddness.
-
Buff replied, "Oh, I know what you mean. They did the same thing to me. They killed my brother."
-
Morgan looked to the ground for a spell. "They may have gotten my levrets for all I know. They moved onto their own place and that's that. You don't usually see them ever again, so you know if natural causes didn't get them, natural predators do. Humans even. Who's to know? Hares don't often see their offspring ever again."
She turned her face from the ground again. "Does that mean you will be staying with us for a bit, Swiftfeather?"
-
Buff added, "Yeah. Would you like to hang with us for bit?"
-
He continued, "I'm going to go see what te humans are up to now."
-
can someone please post here soon? I have waited for days for a new post.
-
(occ: Hi everyone. I have created a a Yahoo! group about this rpg. If anyone would like to join, here is the link. Since it is a yahoo group, it is free to join.)
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/wildbuffalo/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/wildbuffalo/)
-
occ: (but you have to have a yahoo ID to join it though.)
-
ooc: Can't work with one sentence replies, F-14. ^^
-
(occ:Alright, I'll combine a couple of posts and ad some more. They're talking to Swiftfeather here.)
Buff added, "Yeah. Would you like to hang with us for bit?" He continued, "I'm going to go see what the humans are up to."
He turned and started to walk away.
Myles said, "Its been a while since we saw them. You're perfectly welcome to join us."
He continued after Buff.
-
"I shall acompany you." Swiftfeather says.
-
ooc: Maybe my reply ought to be "Ok then," said Morgan and see what you two can do with it. Not much, can you? Now you know how I feel when I look and see so little to work with. You can't expect me to do something with practically nothing.
-
(occ: Alright, I will make my posts longer from now on.)
Buff walked into the woods. The sun was shining and a light breez blew through the trees. Buff felt happy yo be alive. But then, a tear rolled out of his eye wnd was soaked up by his hair. He started to cry.
Myles asked, "What's wrong?"
Buff didn't answer. He just walked on ahead. Myles thought he knew what this was about. Buff was missing his brother again. The moose couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Myles had never lost anyone he loved before. But Buff had lost his parents at an early age and now his brother was gone. He had no mate and his herd had cast him out and abandoned him. They had since moved on. Buff suddenly ran off and left the others standing there. He went off and found a quiet spot where he could be alone. The bison laid down and burst into tears.
Myles said to Morgan, "I wish there was something I could to to make him feel better. He is really depressed. Do you think there is anything we can do?"
(occ: well, I hope that is long enough. :lol I've had a case of writer's block lately.)
-
(occ: hey, everyone! Buff and Myles are going to get their own story on Fiction Press.com. When I get it up, I'll post a link to it. Some things will be different too. For example, Rhen will play a bigger part in the story and he will be killed by humans instead of predators. THere will be other differences as well.)
-
Alright, I have the first chapter up now. Here is the link.
http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=2199392 (http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=2199392)
Oh, and I changed his name to Blaze.
-
Occ: Hi everyone. :wave I am really thinking about changing his name in this ro as well. I like the name "Blaze" better anyway. Just wanted to let yall know.
-
i will be hawkeye a pergrin falcon
hmm wonder what those buffalo are up to? Well i'll find out. (files into tree) ow!
-
hawkeye pulls himself from the tree saying i came in to fast gotta slow down while trying to land
-
The bison stared at the falcon that had fallen out of the sky and landed infront of him. He asked, "What happened to you?"
(please make longer posts. can't really make a long post with only 2 sentences. ;) )
-
new at this flying i am. gotta control the rate of decent more. by the way i' hawkeye what is your name?
-
(occ: Thats it. I'm changing my character's name.)
The bison looked at the bird.
He replied, "My name is Blaze."
Just then, Myles arrived.
The moose saw the falcon and asked, "Who are you?"
-
i'm known as hawkeye. as you see i'm a loner. don't ask me about my past!
-
Myles replied, "Oh, don't worry. Nice to meet you, Hawkeye."
He asked the bison, "So, Blaze. Are you feeling any better?"
The buffalo nodded.
Myles said, "You knoow, crying about it won't make you feel any better. You aren't alone. We are here for you."
Blaze was just having a lot of problems right now.
-
i am the last of my herd. i've surrvied countless preadator attacks. that is where i got this. (points to claw marks down face close to eyes.) it is hard being the last in your herd.
-
Blaze replied, "I know how it feels to be alone. My herd abandoned me and now my brother is dead. I'm just so lonely now."
He stood up and walked away.
Myles said, "He is just really depressed right now. He doesn't like to talk about it."
-
ya don't like to talk about what happened to my herd either. the wolf pack who destroyed my herd was angry over an insult my uncle said to their leader. he gave my this scar. telling me this is remind you never to insult a wolf. then he left me there alone. i swore to myself that night i'd hunt that pack down. that is what i've been doing.
-
Blaze sighed and said, "Hawkeye, revenge won't help. Trust me. I know all about that. Ofcorse, the wolves I killed was when I was defending myself. But I still felt bad about it afterward. I don't know how you are but I'm a buffalo and my kind generally aren't killers unless we are defending ourselves."
-
after i was left alone i came across a a dying wolf i felt sad we got to know each other then he died. i'll never forget him.
-
)occ: Please make your posts longer. I need more o work with.)
-
(ok.) i'll never forget the look in his eyes. they were stairing at me.he asked what i was going to do. i told him nothing. after he died i left him. i then went on a adventure exploring the the areas aroud here.
-
Blaze said, "It wasn't the wolf I met. There was a cougar with him. I just wish I could find some place where there were none of those horrible things."
Myles said, "Blaze has had some rough encounters with them. They killed his brother."
-
i'm very sorry. why can't the humans leave us alone? Did the cougar got away? that is what i'm asking can i join you to where ever your going?
-
(I want to be a cougar named Kaga. You know, from the other website?)
