Naughty Kitties (Closed)

[ragnarsson]

who: The team assembled for the mission (Ivar, South, Sif, Aeacinos, Ronan, Shiro, Osomatsu, and Lauren)
what: The Pride of Pestilence mission
when: Nowish?
where: Out in the farming area
warnings: Animal violence, human violence



When it came up that there was a group of predators wreaking havoc out in the farmlands just inside the secondary fence, it was clear something was going to have to be done. The animals had only been attacking farm animals and pets thus far, but if they got a taste for human flesh, things could turn disastrous. So a team was swiftly assembled to deal with the problem.

After some observation, a few simple facts emerged. There were three females and two males, plus three cubs. While the cubs didn't present much of a challenge, the pride of cat creatures did. They were highly territorial and difficult to deal with. They were also intelligent, making it hard to predict what they were going to do next.

It was clear something was going to have to be done about these creatures. Let's just hope the team could manage to work together long enough to subdue them.

(OOC: Feel free to tag into any of the parts written up below! It's just rough outlines of what's to be done, feel free to interpret that however you see fit!)

Ronan had lost track of the number of times he'd been called a snake. He half wanted to bring those people here, so they could see a real man with snake's skin, and half wanted them to never find out, so he could keep his reputation. Staying out of trouble did not align with that reputation.

"With the cats or you?" He looked at Aeacinos. He'd made it a point not to put much distance between them. Crazy snake-man monster or not, he wasn't going to let anyone so much as think he was intimidated.

"If they keep out of my hair, I'll keep out of theirs." Considering Ronan had a shaved head, this was not the most appropriate saying to use.

Aeacinos will give a fanged smile at that question.

"Both. But I do not condone infighting with my fellow comrades." He gives Ronan a look as he continues to slither along. His movements smooth and sure as he weaves through the terrain unaffected. If he's impressed with the other not being scared of him he doesn't show it.

"That is sure to change when we try to move them. I do not think they will be very appreciative of our efforts."

Ronan rubbed the back of his head reflexively, recalling the last time he'd spied on an animal here. The bump there had gone away after a few days but the bruise to his ego remained.

"Yeah, no shit. Can you use whatever this illusion magic is on them? Get them to come quietly." He had no idea what the extent of Aeacinos's abilities were, but he could think of a few uses for this alone.

Seriously, between snake guy and other members of this expedition, Ronan felt distinctly outclassed and that didn't happen often. Should've brought more than a stun gun and his dream gun, but that was hindsight for you.

"Hm. Perhaps. I could make it so that we appear like them. It would do well in getting them to follow us. However masking our scents will take some practice. My illusions can do that as well but it is tricky to do on the spot."

If anything they could just lead the beasts away far enough that Aeacinos could grapple with them and knock them out too. He too was...rather intimidating a warrior.

"It could buy us some time. Let's see if we can find out how scent focused they are." If they were like dogs or actually most animals, forget about that. So Ronan had to bring up a hypothetical plan b. "Or you could round them up. You can make it look like they've only got one direction to run. 'Course we're fucked if they've got great long term memory," he spoke almost conversationally although his voice still had an edge to it.

Things were probably go to hell so he might as well enjoy a walk with another weird person while he could.
