Roleplay-24th of December

Abdec and Aphrodite playfight with each other.Then they go to where Peachy is and use pup pester power on her.

Peachy giggles with amusement. She doesn't mind at all if Abdec and Aphrodite pester her. She appreciates pups very well and has a high tolerance level for them. They could pull at her ears and tail harshly, climb all over her, what ever. She rarely loses her tolerance towards something that's so adorable and innocent. They're pups after all. They're bound to get into mischief every now and then.

Running Star watches her adopted pups before returning foraging...

Lewa wants to play and runs up to the new pups...

Sassy has ideas of her own and also approaches them...

Abdec sees Lewa approaching and runs over to play.
Aphrodite is trying to stand tall like her adoptive mom but falls back

As Abdec and Aphrodite retreat from her, Peachy watches them move on to doing other typical pup behavior, such as working to perfect the ability to balance on their hind legs and build up their fighting skills. She giggles with adoration as she watched them.

Dominic stands sentry near Running Star, being wary since Nala and Bad Luck had stirred up trouble before. He'll ensure nothing happens to his unborn litter.

Fable had gone back to forging.

Dasher still watched the pups play, finding them amusing.

Akito sat far watching little Rimi in adoration and churring while she played with the other pups. Rimi and Feiro greeted Sassy and Lewa and invited them to play with them and Midnight Dream. Quida churred and groomed Alfonso she didn't know their affair was prohibited and she wanted it to last.

Alfonso churrs with pleasure. He doesn't want this moment of intimacy to end, but having seen his mother get reprimanded for having affairs with rival males, he knows when he and Quida get older, their romantic relationship could come with serious consequences. Since their young and innocent, they can get away with being fond towards each other for now.

Abdec wants to forage like the adults. He heads of.

Aphrodite stares at her brother running off.

Peachy watches Abdec closely as he began to wonder off, making sure he doesn't stray dangerously far from the protection of the adults.

Abdec walks into a bush far away from the burrow. Ir has the scent of..........ROVER!!!!
HE goes to investigate and finds a small hole where the scent is coming from. He decides to go down.
With her brother out of sight Aphrodite got worried she looked everywhere except away from the burrow where was he?

Peachy suddenly loses sight of Abdec. She stands up on her hind legs, chattering nervously to herself. He was just right over there near that bush, where'd he go? She rushes over to where she last saw him, slipping into the dense brush to search for him.

Abec sneaks into the boathole. He creeps deeper and deeper. Then he finds scraps of food. He is hungry and eats the leftovers. Then he falls asleep inside the hole.

Akito scents another meerkat but is confused when he sees Abdec in his boathole. He gentky picksup the pup and carries it to the group. Rimi is reliefed when Akito comes with Abdec and as Akito puts him gently at the ground Rimi grooms him all over. Feiro rushes over to se Abdec to make sure he is safe and is happy to see him safe and sound. Akito gives Rimi and Feiro a hug even though Feiro is not his son. Akito leaves to forage and gets a milipede to eat and a ice scorpion to cruch.

As she makes her way through the dense brush, Peachy gives out contact calls in the hopes Abdec will hear them and respond. She doesn't see an exit to this Kalahari jungle which is starting to make her feel frantic but she remains calm. panicing could jeopardize her safty. Where she'll end up once she does find her way out is uncertain. She's unaware Akito had retrieved the adventurous little tyke.

Abdec is dragged to the burrow by his sis Aphrodite.

Suddenly, Peachy spots a beam of light several feet ahead of her. She sighs with relief. At last, she's found a way out of this dense shrub. Once she steps out into the open, she's relieved to see she hadn't wandered too far from the mob. It appears she travelled approximately 100 feet from the group. Her attention then turns to Abdec. Where is he? He's nowhere to be seen. Her heart races, fearing he could have wandered dangerously far from the group and is treking across the open, leaving himself open to be picked off by a predator. Suddenly, she sees Aphrodite dragging him back to the group. There's that little adventurer. She's relieved to see he's safe and uninjured. She rushes back to the group, needing to get herself back to where numbers is safty.

Jevati approaches the Zippers group. She is a rover and so was her mother.She has skills for blending in. She loooves to stir up trouble. And in the Zippers she sees the perfect way to do it.

Rimi and Feiro are still waiting for Abdec to come out but Feiro goes with Quida to explore. They are too exited to notice they are getting farther but Akito notices and start towards them before they get in trouble.

this is easy Jevati thinks as the pups get away from the group. She rises and sneaks in their direction.She gets closer to them and then she snatches up Quida. She run in the direction away from the group.

Akito gets Feiro back he is quick and knows the little pup is startled and leaves him with Rimi. Rimi soothes him even though she doesn´t know what happened. Akito rushes after Jevati and gets closer.Tiny Quida is bobbing up and down and is too startled to think. Aito runs faster and faster he knows how it is to lose a pup and won´t let it happen to Tea and will save Quida from another loss.

Jevati sees Akito in pursuit. She kicks as hard as she can with her hind legs and sprints off . She quickly dashes into a boathole.

Akito falls from the kick but gets up he scans the horizon. He sees Jevati rush into the boathole but a bird of prey swipes at him he rushes to the nearest boathole and is safe but he is not sure what will happen to the pup. Quida sniffs the milk scent of Jevati and can´t resist and milks the delicious liquid to calm down she looks at Jevati with big eyes and churrs.

Jevati sees the little pup milk and churrs. She is absorbed in the adorableness of this pup.
ooc:Jevati has milk because she was going to have pups but lost them.

Peachy gives out a horrified caterwaul as she witnessed Jevati kidnap Quida. Without hesitation, she pursues the female, running as fast as she could. Soon enough, she loses sight of her as she vanished through dense brush. Uncertain where she could've taken Quida, Peachy has no choice but to cease her pursuit. She stares coldly at the brush Jevati slipped into, panting heavily. She won't get away with this! She's unaware the kidnapper took Quida to a bolt hole not far from the burrow.

Alfonso yelps in surprise, completely taken off gaurd when he sees Quida get yanked away from him. As he saw Jevati fleeing with her in her mouth, he gives out an enraged snarl. Nobody kidnaps his girlfriend! He charges after Jevati, struggling to catch up to her. Being a much older and larger meerkat, she certainly had the advantage when it came to speed. As Jevati disappeared from view, Alfonso slows down to a walk, head held low in defeat. He whimpers with uncertainty, worried he may never see his girlfriend alive again.
