[/i][/color] He raised his head. "HAJIME!" Cocaine roared, summoning the male to the throne. Those below within control of the player lol looked around for this Hajime guy that Cocaine called for. [/ul][/blockquote]

(Edit: For clarification, this happens RIGHT after the events of Death on the Horizon.)

[Caylis]

Caylis | Evangeline Caliver

The black Hallowess slinked out of the shadows and looked up to the Commander, she nodded to him before waiting for the male that Cocaine had called for. She stood at the ready, waiting for her orders; however her excitement didn't show on her face. She was serious; this was serious business. Her azure gaze were sapphire daggers of emotion and pain, she knew what it was like to search for another she had lost. She promised to herself and the pride mentally that it wouldn't happen again.

Evangeline padded out of the dens and watched her father from her place with pride, an expression of awe. She grinned before nodding. "Please father.. bring Atryn back.." she murmured, having faith in the commander, and her father.

[LAD]

Donato & Malluce

Donato had studiously followed his old acquaintance, and although he wished to lend his support to Cocaine he knew the male meant business, so he did not place himself at his side. Rather, he stood three feet away, tense. It seemed that Cocaine had gone through a lot in the few years he had been gone, but as he had told Cocaine seconds ago, he was here to stay, allied to his old pride that was in his blood by family. He watched intently as others began to gather, and did nothing to approach another.

Malluce had left Devyn's side in favor of seeing what was going on here, so as he approached he took note of what Cocaine said, and his lip curled in disgust. It seems all of Meurtrier had failed really. A poor cub had been stolen.

Shinku stood and listened.

Circa & Kazbek & Others

Circa was already up of course, perched on the edge of the throne, paws dangling off a bit as she watched the warriors gather below. Blue gazed passed back toward the den she was supposed to be guarding, that was what she would be doing while the others rallied, unless Funeral had finally reached a conclusion on what was to happen to Osic. But for the moment, she would watch the warriors go.

Kazbek was up and at it before anyone else most the time, but he found himself tiring more lately... He was still getting used to being out of the medic's den, he had been in there quite a while, but nonetheless; at the call of the Commander, he was at his paws and swiftly moving towards the area where people were meeting. Excitement flowed through him as the promise of a mission was imminent by Cocaine's words. Stretching his wings, his tail ticked in glee, he would finally get to stretch his legs a little more. He valued these moments when being a warrior payed off. A smirk on his lips, he turned to see if he could spot Carnal, wondering if she would come or not, surely she would want to stretch her wings as well?

Edmund watched from afar, not interested in going on any mission, as he was still a scout and still quite iffy from his family situation... Cross huddled in the den with his siblings and mother, unaware that an uncle of him had been stolen away. Gatsby, Katil, and her cubs were preparing to leave as soon as Shade returned from Malice, not wanting to further themselves into the pride drama. Mok wiggled in his mother's belly, but a little jelly bean.

(Filler post)
Neo laid near Cocaine, his eyes half closed, seemingly unconcerned. The shouted name cause his ears to perk.

» CROWTHER

Crowther had remained in grim silence during the trial, keeping his thoughts to himself about the whole thing. Troubling things were happening. The theft of cubs, members missing, the exile of one. Were there really so few worthy of trust? He wondered how Meurtrier could possibly strengthen their ranks with only half of their numbers being honest members. Then again, he knew but a handful of them. It seemed as if all these oppositions had set a fuse, and these terrible events were the result. He couldn't help but wonder what happened when backs were turned.
This was not a matter he could help, though. The pressing issue and first priority of the pride was to resolve this new issue by pursuing whoever had stolen the child. So sure of thievery, and Crowther had little doubt that someone had taken the opportunity of such disorder to steal something important to the pride.
Injustice. The thought of such a crime angered him, and he stood up in preparation for action.

Cassius was there but did nothing of considerable import.

[/i][/color] He said loudly.

Carnal hesitated.. she couldn't.. not with everything lately. She turned her head and noticed Kazbek. Would he go? Would Cocaine let him? As much as she didn't want him to go, to have the chance to talk to him, she also knew he'd want to go on an adventure, a mission. Her gaze flickered back to the throne, and she remained seated.

Odysseia and Fracture had shared some whispers. What they said was clearly for their ears only. Eventually, she nuzzled her brother, and Fracture stepped forward, willing to participate in the search. Cocaine nodded to him. Kejethan also stepped forward, not a moment's hesitation. All of that hunting would pay off. Hard work grew strong muscles. He was going to prove a point to himself. Cocaine also nodded to him, and his gaze swept over the crowd.[/ul][/blockquote]

[LAD]

Donato, Malluce, Shinku all stepped forward by their players command as she goes brain dead and fails at a post.

[Caylis]

Caylis

Caylis stepped forward calmly, with a nod given to Cocaine before staying put, waiting for the Commander's order, her gaze quickly looked over to Cass. Would he come or would he stay? She now looked straight, it was his choice.

(last call. I'm pushing this forward tonight.)

COCAINE CALIVER, FRACTURE, ODYSSEIA, CARNAL, KEJETHAN-DARAH

[/i][/color] He said quietly, then lifted his head to those there. "The search party will consist of Neo, Kejethan, Fracture, Crowther, Donato, Caylis, Malluce, Shinu, and Kazbek. Come." He ordered on turn, not giving them a chance to protest. Having the large Crimson brother with him would really help this situation. The Commander would have been foolish to leave him behind. They set off in the direction the yowling at come from.

Many thoughts raced through Cocaine's mind. Was Ryssor okay? Was Atryn okay? Was this suicide.. no. Absolutely not. Some of Meurtrier's finest were with him, and behind him were the rest. Safe guarded by more pride members. He didn't need to second guess himself. Now if on--

He halted in his tracks as a terrifying sight came into view. The body of a feline, mangled and torn upon thin rock pillars that spiraled up from the ground. "How in the world.." He hissed, eyes wide. It took a lot to surprise Cocaine, and to say the least, this was a surprise. Though he didn't need to look to Neo to know that, chances were, he wasn't surprised. Shock, maybe? Nah. Cocaine turned to those with him. "It appears we've found Hajime.. Kejethan, Kazbek. I hate to take you off of this mission, but I need you two to take this body back to camp. Inform Funeral and Circa of how we found it and where." (OOC: Hajime's body was held down as pillar spikes grew into him until he died, bleeding out. No internal organs of importance hit. It's nearer the border.)

Kejethan sighed -- how unfair.. how unfitting. But he nodded to the commander and moved to help Kazbek remove the body from the spikes. When Kazbek was ready, he would would the corpse back to camp and, with Kazbek, explain this to Funeral and Circa. Not exactly the most exciting task, but at least he made a difference.

Cocaine nodded to them both, and turned to head on his way with those remaining. They would travel to the border and not spot Ryssor or anyone else. It was a clear path through the rain beneath the dark storm clouds. Once outside of the Shadow Veldt border, he would turn to them and wait to make sure everyone was ready.

Fracture was undeniably nervous. This was his first real mission. And little did he know, it was probably his last.

Meanwhile, back at camp, orgy Odysseia and Carnal laid around.[/ul][/blockquote]
