It's an Animal House
Who: Gia, Zuma, and possibly Xiu
When: Mid day
Where: The Zoo
What: Zuma is up to no good.

The animals were making their various calls. Gia loved the sound of them all milling in their own areas and settled the proper way. She was peculiar in the fact that when things were like this she was her happiest even if she had a a lot of stuff to get done. Her boots were looking rather worn lately and she couldn't help but ponder back on the earthquake. That had been a disaster, but they'd gotten the animals back where they belonged and they were safe. That was the most important thing to Gia. She needed the animals to be safe because she cared about them.

The bucket dangling from the woman's arm was heavy and she could feel it pressing into her flesh almost harshly. Taking out a bit of cabbage, she approached the small pond and dangled it over the water. The kangaroofish jumped for its meal and the smile on the woman's face was probably enough to light up the whole zoo. She really was happiest when she was around the animals and busy.

HEr body remained loose as she remained crouched feeding the kangaroofish another cabbage. "Hey, Ling, you're going to need to stop and get more cabbage soon!" She hollered at the man that was feeding the tigerhorses their meat. Today was a nice, bright, and sunny day. She figured that the day was going to be glorious and there wasn't a care in the world for her, other than the animals and the zoo.

The sun shone and Gia could feel the rays dancing over her skin as she moved, standing up straight and then moving towards the llamacows. "You're looking really healthy today." She stated to the rather large animal. This was where she was most comfortable, though. The animals were good around her. They trusted her and knew that she was going to be good to them. Taking a cabbage in her hand, she held it out, holding it as the first llamacow gnawed on it while she held it.

A small sound caught her attention, but she pushed it away. The animals were always making one sound or another. The next thing she knew the ratdog was loose. The animal was running wild and Gia stopped what she was doing, dropping the bucket and turning quickly. "Ling! Go get the others, animals loose!" Gia shouted as she saw that the zebra-lionpanda was loose. She let out a sound of frustration. "And get someone to check the latches on the other cages!" The woman darted off, her hair flying in every which direction. She knew that the zebra-lionpanda was probably the most dangerous animal. The ratdog was just big. It'd be easy to catch. Her focus went on the other, making clicking noises with her mouth to gain it's attention and waving her arms. "Come on, don't run far. You don't want to leave the zoo. You want to follow me!"

From her hiding spot, Zuma snorted as the zookeeper tried to coax the zebra-lionpanda into following her back to the pen. The animal looked like it wanted very little to do with going back into its enclosure. The young princess did not realize how dangerous zebra-lionpandas could be and she tried to sneak closer to the chaos. She came up to the panther-turkey pen and reached out to pet one, watching the commotion nearby and hoping everyone was too distracted to notice her.

The zebra-lionpanda snorted and bucked, almost knocking its hooves into a nearby gate to another installment. Zuma frowned and watched the zookeeper closely. She did not want anyone to get hurt; it was just a bit of fun.

Zebra-lionpandas generally didn't attack unless provoked, but when someone feared them it was as if it set them off. It was so easy to set off one of the creatures. Easy to make them mad, they were dangerous to be around people because they were liable to do a lot of things if someone wasn't careful. "Come on, you don't want to wander, you need to stay here, that's the only way you'll get fed..." Gia muttered as she looked around, trying to find any way to coax the animal into it's pen. Lucky her she found a cabbage. Gia knew that these types of animals liked things like cabbage and meat. She just hoped that it'd take it. Holding the head of cabbage out she waved it lightly. "Mmmm, cabbage, if you eat it you'll get meat too."

The zebra-lionpanda seemed to calm a little bit seeing the food, edging closer to the zookeeper. All of the animals were smart. They knew when they got food it was for them to eat and this particular animal knew more food followed. That was what Gia was hoping on.

Zuma snickered in her hiding spot as the zookeeper spoke to the zebra-lionpanda. She talked to it as though the animal understood a word she was saying! Honestly! Animals were not that smart. However, the animal did seem to back down at the promise of meat. She glanced the other way to see some of the other zoo workers chasing the giant ratdog around in circles and she could not hold in a giggle. Zuma quickly clamped a hand over her mouth and looked back to the zookeeper and the zebra-lionpanda.

The animal was almost back to his pen. Zuma frowned at the zebra-lionpanda as though it could see her and her scowl would force it to be more interesting. Well, that was no fun. Quietly as she could, she lifted the latch on the pen nearest her and let the animal out without even so much as checking to see what it was. She moved cautiously into a new hiding spot not too far away but when the animal charged at her, she screamed shrilly...her eyes wide. Not the fun she was looking for!

Most people didn't realize that animals could understand at the very least the tone of what someone was saying. Animals were smarter than people realized. Gia knew that animals really had a deep level of understanding what a person was really saying to them. The tone a person took and whether or not they were afraid played key roles in what happened. It was only a few moments of Gia's time. She lured the animal back into it's pen and was sure to put the latch back into place.

Gia wasn't sure what the hell had happened. It was rather bizarre. Animals didn't get out like this, someone was letting them out and it was pissing Gia off more than a little bit. They were putting her animals in danger. After being sure the zebra-lionpanda wasn't going anywhere else, the woman took a look around and didn't even get to move toward helping another animal. She heard the shrill scream of a girl. Someone was here and had been doing this, of that she was sure.

The bronze skinned woman ran toward the scream, going wide eyed as she saw the cheetahrhino charging at a girl that couldn't be older than a teenager. Gia muttered to herself. "HEY! RUN!" She hollered ahead of her as she ran for the girl, and started waving her arms hoping that the animal would decide to run after her rather than the girl.
