Caylis & Evangeline Caliver
---
Caylis nodded and followed the Commander calmly before she skidded to a halt, noticing Hajime's body, she frowned before bristling. What had happened here? Had he been killed underneath their very noses? Or was it something they were missing? She looked back to Kazbek and smiled warmly, nuzzling him lovingly before grinning. "I'll be back, I promise." she said, nuzzling her son before standing near Coke, nodding to Fracture to assure him and she nodded to the others in good luck and respect. Little did she know.. that this was a day that she would never forget...
Evangeline sniffled before nodding slowly, her tail dragging on the ground and walking slowly back to the den before curling up into a ball and sighed, shedding tears.. family was very important to her.

Malluce and Shinku took off after Cocaine, Donato sprang forward the moment Cocaine did, running at his flank. Their ears flicked forward and they charged ahead but then stumbled to a halt at the gruesome site. What in... No words passed through their minds as they grimaced and stepped back. Shinku turned and nodded at his brother, head bumping him. They took off once more after Cocaine. Unknowingly they had headed in the opposite direction that Jericho had exited. Thanks to that roar and Hajime's body.
Jericho had entered Jungle. His pace hadn't slackened in the slightest as he leaped over and ducked under the over growth. He would be sure to thank Yasbi for that from their travels. He was pretty sure the creature that had followed from the sky now followed on foot, and if that was the case he needed to keep going, but he knew he'd be screwed if he didn't stop for water. Making an abrupt sharp turn in the rainy forest, Jericho head towards an obvious water source, pausing to set Atryn down, took a quick drink and then for a short few minutes, underneath some cover, he curled around the cub and kept him warm, and here Atryn and Jericho had a small discussion. Jericho managed to get the boy he now knew as Atryn to smile, and then laugh. Jericho felt accomplished. With the promise of food later on, after Atryn fell asleep, he picked the cub up and continued on his way.
Might I add - any quick scenes I post like the one between Jericho and Atryn just there - they /have/ been roleplayed. There will be one other scene like this - so far that I'm aware of.

He flexed his claws as Cocaine listed his name and quickly took to action as the commander did. No preparations needed; he had eaten recently and had a fair night's sleep. Not to mention that there wasn't anyone he had to talk to or check in with before he left. He pounded after the group, and for a while took time to examine the other members of the party. He didn't really know any of them, but he figured that they were likely to be related. His thoughts reached a wall as they came upon the body of Hajime.
Pale orange eyes widened for a moment, then formed into a frown. He looked on coldly for as long as he could, even as they took the body away. "Shit.." He had to cringe inwardly at the cause of death, but it did not dampen his determination towards the mission. He continued on, but couldn't help but stare up ahead and wonder of this had been an omen. Was their search destined to fail? As he went on, Crowther kept an eye out for other signs.

As expected, Neo was called to assist. He stood slowly and stretched while the group set of..he was among the last, if not the last to take off running. He reached the front of the group fairly quickly, however. He slowed as Cocaine stopped, lifting a brow at the body before them, unimpressed. His face did not change in the slightest as he used his paw to roll the body a bit. "Amateur work," he stated, not needing to examine much to determine the cause of death, as it was obvious to even the meanest intelligence that he had bled out. He was more curious about the magic he could so easily see at work in this death. He pulled a face. "Cocaine, when Jasper gets back, he should examine the bodies." He brushed his tail over his nephew and shrugged broad shoulders. He took off again after Cocaine.

COCAINE, KEJETHAN, FRACTURE
[/i][/color] His gaze fell on the others there. Fracture shook his head. Cocaine's plan seemed solid. Perhaps Neo had some thoughtful input. Meanwhile, Kejethan had helped Kazbek haul the body back to camp and dropped it there. Carnal stood, shocked, from the entrance of the healers den. She had planned to head in, but now with a dead body in the front middle of the throne, there was no way she'd rest until she knew what had happened. Kazbek was bac too.. Odysseia was the same, though she could keep her distance. Her eyes didn't move from the body. That had to be Haime. "FUNERAL!" His wings flared up as he called for Funeral. "CIRCA!" As well as the captain. They were needed urgently. [/ul] (To clarify, Kazbek and Kejethan are back at camp with Hajime's body, and now the search party is outside of Shadow Veldt, about to make their first decision/move. I apologize if it's a tad pushy. You are all more than free to backtrack a /little/ if you feel wronged or if you just want to get some stuff in for your charactr I HIGHLY encourage it!!)[/blockquote] |

Caylis turned back to Cassius, one would think that her eyes softened at him before she went with the rest of the patrol, she spoke in agreement to Neo. "Neo is quite right, if anyone knows about dead bodies and their magics, it's Jasper Crimson. Commander, if I may ask; what if La Morte moved somewhere else? They're not dumb, that's for sure and they'd probably expect us to attack last time we fought. I suggest perhaps some of us could spread out into pairs and report what we've found.. or at least one pair could search for Atryn and another to search for La Morte or Jericho." she suggested with a nod before looking to Cocaine with a serious gaze.

The booming call as well as the alarm tinged with it immediately had the Lord on his paws. He would quickly skirt from the side of the Throne, where he met them at the bottom. His gaze were brought to both of them in turn before down to the body. His gaze widened just slightly - it was not much of a surprise but it allowed his spine to tingle and his fur to sit on edge. He glanced around for Circa briefly, eyes finally falling on Kazbek and Kejethan expectantly.

Malluce glanced at Caylis. "Undeniably that is not a good idea. With the rain we have no scent trail. Jericho may be long gone by now, and if he is associated - OW!" The male was cut off abruptly from a cuff to the ear.
Donato looked sharply at Malluce an unspoken 'do not be rude' in his gaze. He faced Caylis then. "If this La Morte has been fought before then they more than likely have moved from their location." A nod of approval then he turned to Cocaine, "However Cocaine is right. This Jericho will want to find his pride if he associates with them. We should head there." He nodded at the male.
Then Shinku cut in, "Malluce was partially correct though. Jericho and Atryn are long gone. With the rain we can't pick up their trail easy, splitting up wouldn't be the best idea - yet. Because if we run into La Morte, in small numbers we would be shredded. We go to Volcano." He too, nodded at Cocaine.

His mind wandered to the body of Hajime, but he shook the thought away. He focused on Cocaine. "None here." He also took into consideration what they had to say about the plan. He nodded to most of their input. "Ey.. I bet they're gone, but it's the only lead we got." He was prepared to follow wherever they went, and to fight if they ran into trouble. If luck was on their side, they would find Jericho before he found La Morte. He didn't seem to fear the fact that they could possibly be outnumbered if things took a turn for the worst, but the disadvantage would certainly be theirs. He shook his wings and took a brief glance around.

Circa & Kazbek
Kazbek panted, but not from the weight of the body, but the stench that was beginning to fester from it. A slight cough of displeasure was given as he briefly looked away from the mangled body, shaking his head. "Found this guy near the border, had to remove his body from some spikes... Pretty bad." He rasped, looking to Kajethan to finish where he left off. This kinda sucked, having to carry a mutilated body in contrast to chasing after the enemy; you can say Kazbek was at least a bit disappointed.
Circa leaped up as soon as Funeral did, following him shortly after until they came upon the body. She stopped short, hackles raising as she looked upon the mangled figure. "Good god..." She hissed, standing closer to Funeral in shock of the sight. Along with the dominant, her eyes looked very questionably upon the boys that brought him. Kazbek explained... Shortly, leaving room for question. "Remove his body from spikes? What the hell happened?"

COCAINE, FRACTURE, KEJETHAN
[/i][/color] And without another word, Cocaine headed around the border of Shadow Veldt. It takes less than a day to circle their territory while running, so his pace was quick and senses alert. Unfortunately the rain was likely going to cover any tracks of scents left behind. They'd need someone who was capable of scenting through even the rain. Back at camp, Kejethan dipped his head to Funeral and Circa, nodding to what Kazbek had said. "Our search party had just headed out and we found Hajime, bleeding out though dead, upon pillar spikes." He said. There was no way of informing either superior of Neo and Cocaine agreeing to let Jasper see the body, so it would be up to the Crimson brothers to somehow get that message across unless Funeral let the body sit until Cocaine's return.. which would be Dante-knew-when. He looked at Kazbek and shot him a sympathetic gaze. The battle hero of the first of many battles probably wanted to be back with Cocaine's party, not stuck at camp delivering corpses.[/ul][/blockquote] |

Neo remained silent and allowed the others to quarrel, though the look he gave Malluce suggested some level of disdain. Funeral's son behaved in a way that truly showed self entitlement, or at least lack of restraint. He knew better than to go straight to the Volcano. It was a treacherous place and not suitable to raise raise children in. La Morte had been living in peace until Meurtrier had discovered them, so he could only assume they would move to to avoid further confrontation. He nodded to Cocaine before sending a rapid stream of information to Jasper of current events. He could detect the minor annoyance of his brother, but he was glad to find he would suspend the body and remotely chat with Funeral. "Those who can fly should start at points across the border that are more easily reached by wings." He, however, darted back to the dens and demanded Corvette's help. The shark's sense of smell was almost unrivaled and he let the land shark track from the den where Jericho had resided to Ryssor's den and away from the territory. Rain did not hurt Corvette's sense of smell in the slightest. His aquatic design lent itself to such. Rain pelted the strange feline, but little did he care. He was on a trail. "Cocaine!" Neo thundered, his roar able to carry incredibly far. He was unsure if any head way had been made yet. His first response had been to find Corvette who was jogging with his pointed snout to the ground.

Malluce wisely kept his mouth shut this time. Donato looked at Neo curiously. Shinku tilted his head and would have taken to the sky if it had not been for the conflicting words of Cocaine not wanting the party to split up. Even then, Donato opened his mouth, or would have had Neo not darted off. In seconds though, the male had roared. Without pause they took off in that direction as they assumed Cocaine would as well.
Really shitty fail post I know. Btw keep in mind Kah and I will set the time line for this rp - so no saying 'were in jungle' till Kah says it 8) etc etc

The situation was indeed gruesome, and upon inspecting the body further as it was all explained, what they said seemed nothing more than the morbid truth. His gaze met Circa, and then back at the two brutes that had brought back the body before them. "And that's it, is it?" He inspected the body again. "I want you two to head back to the scene. I want you to look for any evidence; fur, scent, signs of a scuffle. It does not matter. You report back to me after a thorough investigation and we'll go from there." Although it was a possibility it could have been an accident or indeed a homicide, the King wanted to be sure. If this was a crime committed by someone besides La Morte, then he wanted to be well aware of it rather than simple accusations.
He then turned toward Circa. "What do you think could have caused this?" A simple glance before sitting closer to the body despite the rancor smell, inspecting it little by little at this point. Signs of a scuffle, gently brushing random fur pieces and briefly upon the pads of the victim's paws in case anything was caught in there. It perhaps lasted much sooner than he felt before lifting himself up and beside his Captain once again.

Kimiko Bloom Crimson
Kimiko had heard her cousin's name echoing through the Veldt and was secretly hoping he had managed to get far away from the Veldt before the searching party started on their mission. She had spent the time in the opening of her den, her body tense and audits alert, and occasionally walked a round around the throne area in case there would come any breaking news from the party.
It was on one of her restless walks she'd heard Funeral and Circa's named echoing and she knew something had happened. News. Something important enough to call for the King and Captain and so she hurried over to the throne area where other members already had started to gather around something on the ground. A body? She paced up but halted when her reds saw the white mane. "Hajime!?" she almost roared his name out and rushed over to where the body laid motionless on the ground.
