ooc: Yup, Keeko is his name. Orginally, atb played him but he hasn't been on since september. I'm sticking with 3 charries in this mob so I'm opting not to cover Keeko. We could just disperse him and Buckeye could accept him. Or when Stormy is on, we could remind her about Keeko and see if she's still interested in covering him.

ooc: I think he was Dipsy's first... atb had Buckeye... I could play him...

ooc: Oh yeah, lol. Ok.

ooc- atb I'm almost certain is never coming back.

ooc: I have a feeling he won't be either. I read a thread in the Moderator's forum that he's in college. Usually alot of RPers in college either don't return or are rarely active. It pretty much takes up most of your life, even more if you're working or living on your own at the same time.

((OOC: Yeah, my boyfriend is both in college and also has a job, AND lives on his own. Whatever time he has that his classes or job doesn't take from him is usually spent talking with me on Skype. x3 And okay Pancake, just don't overload yourself, mmkay? I've done that plenty of times to know how it feels.))

ooc: Wow he's quite the busy guyX3. That's cool you get to talk to each other on skype:3 My sister is in college and she works, so she barely gets enough time to just relax and fool aroundXD She just got off from college so now she has free time to do what ever she wants.

ooc: I also highly doubt that atb will return. I'm happy to play Buckeye for the time being anyway.

bic: Buckeye stops walking when she sees a decent patch not too far away from the burrow. She wanted to make sure she wasn't too far away from the burrow in case of an emergency. (Did anyone's characters stay back to babysit? If not I'll have Jackie stay at the burrow.)

Snowflake ravenously digs for food.

Meg slowly starts digging, ravenously.

Keeko stands sentry.

Grace starts to get near to the burrow. To her dismay, the group is gone...

Clover and Carmella both start foraging.

((OOC: I think no one stayed back. Once Phantom gets accepted, he'll start staying at the burrow until he becomes a bit more comfortable with the mob.))

Ashtail began to forge as well.

Phantom looked around as Grace led him to a burrow. So, this was the mob's home? Had to be, strong scents of meerkats filled his nostrils.

ooc: You do a good job at playing Buckeye too:)

I don't think anyone stayed behind to look after Buckeye's pups. I'm thinking of having Lancaster go back too. He's lacking the apetite to eat anyway.

When the Willows reach their foraging destination, Tank immediately digs into the ground. He feels comfortable about foraging close to the burrow. If an emergancy comes up, they'll be able to get there in time to safe the pups.

Saja forages close to her father.

Lancaster had ceased following the group several yards from their chosen foraging patch. He just remembered something...no one is looking after Buckeye's 10 day old pups at the burrow! Lancaster whirls around and heads back to the burrow hastily. He isn't feeling hungry anyway and just wants to relax today after such an emotional week. He's unaware that Grace has braught home a stranger with a dark past.

Sarah quickly follows Lancaster, as usual she refuses to leave his side.

Molly also realizes that no one was staying behind. She follows Lancaster and Sarah back. She could always forge around the burrow anyhow.

Daisy followed the mob to the the forging grounds. Standing close to the adults and her sister Lavender, she began to forge nervously.

Unaware at the moment that Sarah and Molly are following him back to the burrow, Lancaster picks up speed, feeling hurried to get to the burrow before a predator or murderous rover gets there first.

ooc: Thanks Yoshkat.

bic: Jackie notices Lancaster and some other members running towards the burrow. It takes her some time to realise why. She decides not to follow. There were three of them. Plenty to care for 10 day old pups.

Snowflake continues foraging, not noticing.

Meg continues digging.

Buckeye also keeps foraging, oblivious to Grace and Phantom's scare and the 'rescue mission' Lancaster was leading.

ooc: You're welcome:3

Tank doesn't notice his brother, Molly and Sarah racing to get back to the burrow as he is half submerged in his hole.

Saja also doesn't notice. She's foraging too intently to know what's going on around her.

Lancaster pants heavily, starting to get tired of running but he doesn't allow himself to slow down. He keeps at his fast pace, wanting to get to the burrow before something or someone sinister does.

Ashtail also doesn't notice.

Phantom looked around. Maybe the group went forging? He looked down at Grace. I believe they went forging... We can wait here for them, or maybe try to find them?

ooc- What happened?

ooc: Grace met up with Night's character Phantom and she led him to the burrow to show him around his new home. Lancaster, Sarah and Molly are heading back to the burrow to babysit. They realized no one stayed behind to look after the pups.

Buckeye quickly eats a grasshoper.

Jackie keeps digging.

Snowflake happily eats a beetle.

Meg continues digging, seeming to have her head in the clouds and not noticing a small beetle scurry out from under her digging paws.

Molly sees Lancaster speed up, so, she does the same.

Daisy would nervously look around once in a while and continue to dig. She refused to be alone. That was what led to Triscuit being killed by that murderous rover Ghost.

Tank unveils a large millipede. He drags it up the slop of his hole, then along the ground, ridding its toxic coating from its shell. When he feels it's good enough to eat, he inhales the morsel.

Saja finds a spider and devours it in delight.

When the burrow comes into view, Lancaster sees 2 meerkats stationed near the burrow entrance. He knows for sure none of the Willows stayed behind. His heart begins to race, thinking one of them is Ghost and the other could be an accomplish. Oh no, please let it not be him! He elevates his run to a sprint, determined to get to the burrow in time before "Ghost" and his "accomplise" claim another innocent little life.

Luna starts to forage.

Bravo stands sentry.

Ariel starts to dig.

Tank detects the scent of a scorpion 5 inches from where he found the milliede and starts digging rapidly.

Saja also detects the scorpion's scent. Her eyes shift over to her father, a sly smirk on her face. She's plotting to steal her father's prize.

Ashtail gets a centipede and began to devour it.

Phantom notices three meerkats approaching in the distance. Unsure if they were friend or foe, he protectively moves over Grace, standing over her. If these three were hostile, he'll defend Grace with his life.
