A Playful Hunt

[Rhayeqasr]

Rasha'Keabian, being a young, playful pup, had found amusement in an over weight rat. She pounced on and stalked the rodent for hours, due to it's intense fat, it could not run or dodge as well as a healthy rat would. Spot's of the rat's blood covered the copse's ground, and the rat's tail was around somewhere.

The creature squeaked and twitched loudly as Rasha tortured and played with it. Most Blood types enjoy playing with their food before feasting, and this trait was apparent in Rasha. She only ate when she was really hungry, the other times she killed were just for the fun of torturing the poor creatures.

She scooped the rodent into her mouth, it was hanging by it's back leg. It squirmed and flopped around like a fish out of water as Rasha giggled. After a while the rat began to loose energy, and life, and the fun of playing with him slowly died.

The Canine tossed him into the air, and caught the rodent in her mouth. She grinned as the rat crunched beneath her jaws. And as she finished up her dinner, she got a slight feeling that she was being watched.

The young one had keen senses, it was apparant, because she was indeed being watched. The watcher herself was waiting for the opportune moment to burst forth dramatically from behind the shadow of the tree she was currently stationed behind. She curled her lips back in distaste as the Blood played with her prey till the bitter end. She much more enjoyed getting it over with quickly. But everyone had their ways, she suppossed.

Almost as if checking her appearance, she wetted her delicate paws with a sandpaper tongue and smoothed down the exposed fur on her face. She allowed a flitting growel the escape her parted lips. That was the signal.

She leaped from the shadows, lithe body twisting gracefully to literally hit the ground running, with no hesitation or un-professional pause. She cirlced around the pup twice, eyes blazing with exhilaration, before she slinked to a stop mere inches from the Blood's small face.

"Hello."

It came out as a purr, sensous and inviting, that rolled over your eyes like marbles. She placed a paw lightly on the pup's back. She wasn't flirting. To her, the world was her stage, and this was only the first act.

[Rhayeqasr]

Rasha wasn't surprised when the, what she guessed to be a Bone type, emerged from the shadows. As the Euclides circled her, she admired the her bone accessories. Rasha had what others at her Theatre called 'Sticky Fingers,' but she denied any claims of stolen items when they were brought to her attention. But she knew that she was, indeed, a kleptomaniac. She grinned, her childish quirks are what made her Rasha'Keabian.

"I'm Rasha'Kaebian, Puppeteer!" She put her chin in the air with pride as she said 'puppeteer.' She cocked her head at her company, as if waiting for a response, waiting for the Femme to introduce herself.

Rasha began to hunch, she would admit that she has horrible posture, and she tongue hung out of her mouth, a few of her stained teeth showed. Her small, puppy tail wagged playfully at the Euclides, wonder if she'd play?

Sinnarnbi krept out from behind a trashcan, watching the two pups talking. She was very outgoing, but seeing two others that were bigger than her made her a little nervous. She decided to try and make herself known, so she "accidentally" knocked over the trashcan. "Woops," she said guiltily.

[IvySpring]

(( Is this still going on? ))

[Rhayeqasr]

[sorry, I was waiting for Arielle to reply, but I shall keep it going if you'd like]

Rasha had her undivided attention on the Feline that had appeared after her dinner. She watched carefully, gaining little knowledge from her body language and expressions. When the red and black Euclides had interupted her study, she gave the creature a glare, but the stare quickly went away when she realized that this Eulcides was about her age. She was used to handling adults and other older Euclide, rarely had she come across another Pup.

Her small, rabbit-like puppy tail thumped against the ground, harder now more than before. Did these two Euclide know each other? She cared not, she was too excited... maybe they'de both play with her! "And who might you be?" Rasha did not mean to sound rude, spitefullness was something she quickly learned from others of her kind... Euclide weren't the most compassionate of creatures.

[Mistay]

{{Eeep! Sorry. I'll reply later on today!}}

[IvySpring]

((Oh, I'll wait for Ariell then ))

[Mistay]

Seren narrowed her pupilless eyes until they were nearly closed. She could feel the harash stare from the young one, could feel the judgement pass through her eyes and over her cat-like body. The young one knew already, then, of the dangers of the Euclide world. She decided that she'd test just how much she knew.

"Did I ask your name?"

She purred coyly. She had not, of course, though it had been implied. Not that the pup would know that. Playing with such a fragile mind would be a delicate treat, a break from the constant running and hiding of being a Castless Bone. However, the little red and black interuption did not please her. Another young one!

Imediately, she focused her entire, million-watt attention on the newcomer. Some found that particular tactic disturbing, for it was almost as if she was looking inside your mind. Her muscles bunched. She didn't plan on actually doing anything, but it was an impressive show.

"Must you be so loud?"

She was referring, of course, to the knocking over of the trash cans.

[Rhayeqasr]

Rasha's ears flattened. "No need to be rude," she said flattly. Rasha may be young, but she knew a great deal about the world.... and herself. She was a Castless Puppeteer, and wandered freely, with the ability to protect and provide for herself. After a moment's glare at the Bone, she shot a sly smile to the other youngling. "And you're name?" She asked, genuinly curious. She wanted to ask the two so many questions, but it was best to start off with introductions. Even though the Bone seemed coy, she'd try and ask anyways, "And you are?" She'd said it rather hotly. No need to take up an attitude, be polite and hope for the same respect, she scolded herself.

Should she apologize for being so rude? First impressions, after all, lingered about for quite awhile. No, should would wait and see what the Feline would say, mind games weren't her thing, but she had a feeling the Bone was playing some tricks of her own. Rasha may be young, but she was by no means immature and childish, well compared to other younglings, she was not immature or childish. "What'cha hiding behind the garbage for?" There was no way around it, Rasha had an attitude, an attitude that reminds one much of a young rebelious human, ick... humans? Why humans of all creatures?

[Mistay]

Seren flicked her tail in an obvious show of irritability. She wasn't actually irritated at all, else she would have simply left. No need for the youngster to know that, of course. Though it seemed the pup was wiser beyond her years. Pity.

"No, indeed. And I am someone you should fear."

She gave a languid stretch, meant to display her lithe muscles to their full extent. As if pondering the pup's words, she tilted her masked head to the moon before continuing.

"Oh, did you want my name...?"

She asked, sheathing and unsheathing her claws, seemingly genuinely concerned. She was no Poisen, she was just an actress, making everything into a drama.

{{Sorry about deh pooness. -yawn- Me ish tired.}}

[Rhayeqasr]

"That was, after all, the point of my question," this Bone could be quite annoying, given she continues with her current attitude, though Rasha's sure that she was show casing her attitude as well. Heh sighed in amusement, what is so fearful about the Feline who stood in her company? Rasha certainly wasn't going to jump to conclusions, but she most defianatly didn't look to be a Euclides worth her worry, and until she knew for sure that this Bone was some one she should fear, then she would do just that, but until then, she'll continue to be smirk.

"Now why, exactly, should I fear you?" Rasha raised an eyebrow, making herself appear to be older. "Were you to kill me, I am certain you would have done so by now." She smiled slyly, she enjoyed messing with people, playing with her pray. Her red eyes looked from the Bone to the fellow youngling, who hadn't said too much since she made her entrance.

Rasha wondered who would win in a battle between the Bone and herself. She was fairly sure it wouldn't be her, for the Feline was older and more experience. The the Blood had a feiry passion and determination when it came to such topics. She shook her head, as if dismissing these thoughts. Best not to find out.

((heh, I'm in a pooness phase as well, I lack imagination ::enjoys last post as a puppet:

[Mistay]

Seren made an obvious show of yawning, exposing her sharply pointed teeth. Not than any Euclide would be scared by such a simple tactic, but she might as well try.

"Hmm, I suppose it was, then? Serenkaebi, Puppeteer."

She stated calmly, closing her eyes to feel the light of the moon upon her face. She started to sway gently to a tune she fancied was played by the moon, until the pup's second snide comment broke her rhythm.

"And, you know this...how, exactly? Have you never met a Poisen, who play with their food long before they make the final blow? Who's to say I am not doing the same. You have guessed correctly, however, I am not doing any such thing. But still, you must have realized that I am larger than you in build? Or do you wish to test that?"

She ducked her head and loosed a low hiss from her throat. Just for an added touch.

[IvySpring]

((Sorry guys, I've been sick the past two days and busy with school..))

Sinnarnbi looked at the other pup Euclide, "I was hungry, and looking for food. Trash cans are always the best place to start." She said all this with a cat-like grin, showing her sharp, pointy baby teeth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be loud," she said, rolling her eyes. She didn't like the older looking Euclide. She felt as if the older one thought she was better than herself. Sinnarnbi hated Euclides that made her feel small and insignificant.

((lol, we might have a rivalry here ))

[Rhayeqasr]

Rasha grinned, "Oh, but you are no Poisen." She knew more about Poison than she of Serenkaebi's Type. Perhaps she shouldn't test such things on such little knowledge... but she was right, wasn't she? Unless, of coarse, the Euclides did have plans to kill her. But she doubted this.

She smiled, other than age, the Puppeteer had nothing over her. They were of the same rank, though Rasha was unsure of whether or not she belonged to a cast. She had expected for her to be a Marionette, for she was rather attractive, no matter how rude she may seem.

The Blood's dreams of playing with the two died, for the Bone didn't seem to be too interested in playing, though there was still the other pup to consider. She wanted to know more about the other pup. She had been trying to guess her type, but had so far been unsucessful. Could she be a Blood like herself? "You gather your food from trash?" Rasha considered this a minute, finding it to be a strange way to feed one's self. Rasha would go no other way than to hunt and kill her prey herself. "I'm sorry, I have yet to learn your name?" She said questionably, asking and stating in the same sentance. She was smiling at the other youngling, giggling to herself. She had rolled her eyes, a gesture Rasha herself was famous for often doing.
