Roleplay- 16th of December

ooc: I sort of have how I want the fight to start between her and Ninja planned in my head so I don't want Mozart attacking her right away. She can help him but it may have to happen Monday. I won't be on possibly until tomorrow night and if she's attacked multiple times while I'm away, it won't give me a chance to react.

occ: Sure!, Ill have Mozart go for Aliya,she'll help Buckeye ;D

ooc- I'd don't think the Willows have approached yet though.

((OOC: I figured they were near the border, if not a little pass it. But I doubt they can see the two mobs yet anyhow.))

ooc: Alright.

Wow for some reason I was thinking Mozart was a Jumaa lol. Yeah the Willows are still too far to spot the Midnights.

Ninja's eyes pause on the negligent Black Widow. Tsk tsk, not being aware of what's going on around you could prove fatal. He locks his eyes on his target and chuckles mockingly. The complacent fool is too distracted to realize the imminent danger. They won't know what hit them until it's too late for them to react. He'll silently sneak up on Black Widow and make sure his attack is brutal and swift, rendering her unable to fight back. He snickers at his tactic, confident it'll score him a kill. Having singled out his victim, Ninja cracks an evil smirk. it appears accomplishing his vengeful assasination mission is going to be a piece of Kalahari cake.

They're just close enough for Duke to make out some familiar faces. He spots the resting Wilson and makes him his target.

Tank crosses into Midnights territory. Unfortunately, he's lost sight of Ghost. He's astonished once again by Ghost's "vanishing" act. Dang is that male clever! He's a slippery one alright, frustratingly so. He snarls in frustration and anger. No he can't get away! He simply refuses to let him. He WILL be braught to justice for mercilessly killing Triscuit and potentially Snicker. Tank slashes the ground in rage, spraying sand in the air which is briefly carried by the gentle breeze. Someday He'll bring an end to Ghost's cold blooded occupation, permanently.

Aliya begins a charge, leaping into the air and chattering angrily.

Suri also begins charging towards the Midnights.

Emzio watches Aliya lead the charge, nervously.

-------------------------
Eztli's head is in a hole he's digging. He still hasn't noticed the Jumaa's charge.
-------------------------

Buckeye continues looking around for Ghost, continueing to shorten the distance between them and the Jumaas and Midnights.

Jackie and Snowflake also follow, looking around intently.

Snicker follows the Willows, his condition evidently getting worse as he walks clumsliy.

Meg walks beside Snicker, ready to capture him if he falls.

ooc- Hold on. I'm not sure if everyone's ready yet.

occ: Yosh said she might not be able to get on til Monday, hold it off til then atleast!
I wont be on much on Tuesday either :/

Teetsie growled as the scent of another group drifted to her. Jumaa! She hadn't yet caught the scent of the Willows. She snarled and issues alarm calls to her group. Ready for battle!

Kassy looked up and snarled at Teetsie , What now!? , but then caught the scent of the Jumaa, she stood up barking loud alarm calls

Kinkajou cringed as the Midnights caught their scent, she looked at Aliya

ooc- We can have them have a stare down for the moment at least.

ic- Wilson jumps up at the alarm and spots the Jumaa. They've never attacked before. Maybe it's a revenge mission. Wilson makes rallying barks and takes position next to Teetsie. It won't be hard to cut into the Jumaa's population again.

Duke remains still as the Midnights become aware of their presence.

Bravo crosses over as well and remains in pursuit of Ghost, but he's nowhere to be seen.

((OOC: Yes, let's hold it off until YoshKat can post, but also, a stare down is harmless.))

John snarls as he heard faint alarm calls come from the Midnights. Looks like they finally caught their scents. His muscles tensed up more and he bared his fangs, ready to strike. He awaited Aliya's command to unleash their wrath on those heartless Midnights!

Root began to shiver. But it wasn't out of fear. It was out of excitement and the adrenaline that began to course through him. Finally! Like John, he awaits Aliya's command.

------------------------------

Ashtail growled, outraged that Ghost seemed to manage to escape. Even his scent was fading. It was no wonder he was known as "The Vanishing Rover". She slashed the ground, chattering angrily. If he ever dared show his ugly mug again, she'd maul his face off! She was unaware a battle between the Jumaa and the Midnights was about to begin.

Returning the comforting embrace around Saffron, Josephine nuzzled the top of her head and held onto the young pup tightly. Not really having the disposition as much of an outgoing fighter, Josephine was glad to be able to use her stronger nurturing characteristics even when the group had gone into ‘war’. She’d gladly give her duty and life to protect Saffron on the sidelines if trouble came their way, unaware that the Willows were on a direct course to their location.

Cactus bares his teeth. Almost time to show those Midnights what he's made of!

Ninja's eyes avert from his negligent target, Black Widow, when he hears the Midnight's alarm calls begining to circulate the air around the Jumaa. Realizing the Midnight's have finally acknowleged the ominous presence of the revenge seeking Jumaa approximately 100 feet in proximity to them, Ninja's muscles become tense and his heart palpitates in excitement. The adrenaline pumping through his veins heightens his urge to charge but he maintains his patience, waiting for Aliya to judge the right time to declare war and make the command. He scans over the Mightnight members, shooting them a death glare.

Conker stands tall and firm with confidance next to his father, Duke. The Mightnight's awareness of the Jumaa doesn't discourage him one bit. For a pup going into battle for the first time, which is strongly disapproved by the adults, especially at a month old, you'd expect them to be terrified. But not Conker. He's got guts! His courage is rather outrageous. He's showing no apprehension or hesitation at all. He certainly isn't afraid to risk his life to protect his family. With a brave expression formed on his face, he waits for Aliya to announce the 'charge' call.

Saffron relaxes in Josephine's comforting embrace. The comforting nuzzle helps to calm her. She feels alot better in the presence of her protection. She trusts Josephine would take the bullet for her to ensure she'll have a future to look forward to. Hearing the alarm calls of the Midnights, she trembles and presses into Josephine's stomach, terrified.

Still completely oblivious to the gathering army of Jumaa in the vicinity of the foraging party, Black Widow advances deeper into her hole. With her nose caked with sand, her ability to detect the Jumaa's scent is blocked, and her ears are closed so she can't hear what's going on above ground. She doesn't realize her life could be in grave danger if caught unawares which unfortunately she has by the enraged, bloodthirsty Ninja.

ooc: Ok I'm back:) And I don't plan for Black Widow to realize the Midnights are under attack until Ninja catches her off gaurd with a vicious attack.

Duke stares down at Conker and barks, telling him to stay here. They all now the Midnights are all too eager to end a pup's life.

Conker grunts in protest. He refuses to obey his father's orders to stick to the side lines. He wants to fight! He wants to help bring brutal justice down upon those cold hearted monsters for killing his potential friends and play mates. He stares down maliciously at the Midnights, stabbing his tiny claws into the sand, his body shaking with rage. Despite being at a disadvantage size and power wise, he's determined to scar or maim an opponent, leaving them with a permanent reminder that's what happens when you mess with the wrong group.

Duke barks again, ordering Conker to stay. He could die.

ooc- I won't be home until later tommorrow. Please don't go too far while I'm gone.

Aliya watches the Midnights a moment longer. She can feel the adrenaline pumping through her veins. She begins a slow walk, getting closer, still not sure when to begin the charge. She seldom started fights and was evidently nervous.

Suri follows Aliya at a slowish pace. The secound she made the command, she'd charge.

Emzio watches them, nervous.
--------------------------------------

Eztli can see the Jumaas now. An evil smirk crosses his face. So, they were here for round two. It would be a pity to watch them lose... He snickers and waits for Teetsie to lead the charge.
------------------------------------------------

Buckeye continues her search for Ghost, when the scent of a meerkat hits her nose. It was a scent she was not furmiliar with. Assuming it was Ghost she increases the speed of her pursuit and runs in that direction. Little does she know that the scent she was following was in fact the Jumaa's scent. She was now decreasing the distance between the Willows and the fight by even more.

Jackie and Snowflake also follow in quick pursuit, the smell also reaching their nostrils.

Snicker can the the general group picking up the pace again. He tries to keep up, but gradually he is falling behind.

Meg can see Snicker struggling to keep up. She stays by his side, worried for his sake. He was mad and he was seriously wounded. It was not a good combination in this situation. She could tell by the unfurmiliar area that they were further from the burrow than what they normally were.

((OOC: Okay Meyerm.))

John and Root follow Aliya with no hesitation. The moment she commanded it, they were going to charge.

-------------------

Ashtail follows Buckeye, her fangs bared and her fur still bristled. If that was Ghost, she and the Willows would make sure he was finally brought to justice for not only this heartless deed he's done to the Willows, but for all the evil deeds and murders he's done.

Without a second thought, Ninja follows Aliya, displaying a formidable looking war-dance in an attempt to intimedate the opposition. His heart is pounding against his chest and his limbs are shaking from the adrenaline rush but he's poised to shed rival blood and avenge Little Boy and his slained pups.

Conker refuses to obey his father and steps forward. Driven to help his mob bring the Midnights to justice, he has a stubborn and determined mood about him. He's going to particepate in this battle and he's determined not to let anyone stop him, not even his dominant parents.

Saffron watches the Jumaa's slow advance fearfully. Her muscles become tense and her heart rate sky rockets, bracing herself for becoming a spectator of what will most likely be a bloody fight to the death.

Realizing he's in unfamiliar territory, Tank admits defeat in his search for Ghost for now to asses his situation. He glances around to get his barrings and as he surveys the strange land, 2 different but potent scents enter his nostrils. One scent makes his blood boil, it's the Midnights! He remembers the last time the Willows squared off with theMidnights very well. In the previous violent encounter, he roughed up one of their members, Black Widow, pretty significantly and the fight resulted in the death of a Midnight member. Though the Willows lost the previous battle with the Midnights, He's proud that the outcome of the war resulted in the death of a Midnight. He cracks a smirk thinking back to that day. The other scent he detects doesn't smell familiar at all. Curious to know what's happening deep in Midnight's territory and realizing that he needs to get caught up with the Willows, Tank picks up the pace intending not to stop for predators or strangers. He has a gut feeling the Willows are destined for a rematch with the Midnights very soon.

Black Widow's body is now fully submerged in the hole which is appearing to look more and more like a burrow being constructed. She's dug as deep as she can and still no sign of her prey. She smells the morsel but where is it?! This is absurd! She sighs in frustration. The muscles in her arms are tensed and burning. She feels as if she can't go any further and that she exerted so much energy, which she could've saved incase the event of a dangerous situation comes up where she'll be required to be strong and help defend the mob, for nothing. Just as she's about to admit defeat, she spots a scorpion in the corner and smirks. Finally! Her prey's cover has been blown. With lightning quick reflexes, she disarms the scorpion and devours it, churring with pleasure. The strenous excavation was worth it but it has left her feeling exhausted, a weakness which could come at a terrible price for her in the impending battle.

Feeling Saffron tremble, Josephine turned her gaze to the direction of the sound of the Jumaa war calls and chattered nervously to herself at the same time twitching her tail.
Still focused on the shown down between her current group and the Midnight’s she is still totally unaware of Tank and the Willows drawing closer to them.

Cactus glances up at Duke expectantly, knowing that he might try to prevent Cactus from fighting as well.
