!days 150-159, albert de morcerf, amami riku, excel, gokudera hayato, sumeragi kururu, wanijima akito, yuffie kisaragi, {shut hell}, {sohma shigure}

Who: Hydracula and friends
Where: SEE BELOW
When: Day 151, Afternoon - evening
What: TWO PART POST - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

[If you are to see Hydracula in the earlier part of the day, chances are it is in the tunnels, covered in lake mud, navigating the far tunnels seeking out any signs of fatty lizard herds passing through recently...

If you catch them later, it will be back in the dorm area. The teams are bruised, scraped and lacerated in some cases, but TRIUMPHANT. Meat and skin are stripped, sacrifices for Beast laid out, bones set to dry, meat set to smoke. IT HAS BEEN A BUSY DAY, and the wind down begins now.]

	All you need to remember is they can rip your goddamn arm off. If you see one, run. [gestures down a tunnel] Usually that way . . . if they haven't moved to a new feeding ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have... people actually lost their arms that way before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [EARLIER] be_my_chum 2010-07-24 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Don't smell anything either way. The usual path, then? Yeah. And then some. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[wordlessly gestures to his right arm in response to Molotov's question :\|a Gosh that scar on his bicep sure does encircle his entire arm] Yeah, doesn't look like there's any reason to change for this trip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was when we first met, wasn't it Scowl? Boy, you sure did bleed a lot. Anyway, I'm with you guys. Nothin' like a good ol' beaten path! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The usual path continues as it had. What HAD been the raptor nest has no lingering scent to it, all the carcasses and eggshells long since devoured by terapedes or squidrats, leaving only some dug out holes and broken or sliced bones of creatures.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[At Excel] I think we knew each other before that . . . but that's the first time you and Black came over. [To Albert] You think we'd make it up? Yes, they live near them. Big lizards are fucking stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [EARLIER] crazylikeavulp 2010-07-24 04:34 am UTC (link)
	[to Scowl] Huh, you're right. Come to think of it, it was more like the first time I actually liked you. [to Simba] Technically they're more like dinosaurs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [EARLIER] assumedposition 2010-07-24 04:37 am UTC (link)
	I never said you'd make it up, Scowl. Why do you turn everything I say into something against you... [Huffs and moves closer to Molotov X(] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't take it so personally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's some time of walking, there's no branching of the tunnels, but it does widen significantly as you continue, far past the last point you encountered a migratory herd. A faint acrid smell is in the air, but it seems distant enough.

... And your first sign of something passing is something having PASSED a whole lot of something. It's... pretttty fresh droppings about knee high... fortunately, there's enough space to get around them.]

	[motions for everyone to keep quiet. or at least quieter] Really good. We should start listening for some now. If we're lucky we might hear it before we see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[pulling out multiple knives! staying back while Akito checks] —Three? We need to cut one off somehow . . . Do you think we can separate the closer one from the other two? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
