Don't be so negative, we're going to be safe in the trees. After all there are no meat eaters in the trees... Well besides us that is.

Anyways that would probably be the case of we were watching from the bushes where they would actually be looking for us, not above them. Don't you know the age old notion that when you are on top you don't have to watch out for things from above?

    Thanks RandomLurker, much obliged. Okay, typical tie breaker for this Quest. Deadline for vote changing is approximately two hours, 10:00pm (EST). If the tied not broken, I am pulling out the two sided die.

    Anyways, Info Update on the Character Sheet.

    Character Picture and Information
    Information:

    The protagonist has some knowledge of the world, stories from the pack having provided where instinct failed. providing names for the more important objects in his life. Natural intellect and curiousity are coming more into play. Your self-word, your name, is Pebble Brother as of this moment and you have no rank beyond hatchling, and little practice surviving in the world. Almost everything in this world sees you as prey or something to get rid of.

    You are currently1 foot, 7 inches. You are the same shade of gray as most stereotypical stone, allowing you to blend in well with most environments. During maturity, your hide will slowly shed away the gray scales and trade them in for shades of red with dark stripes. Your eyes are the same yellow/green shade as most hatchlings and females of your kind and shares the same brown/red blood vessels in your eyes with them. Your eyes will eventually become the lime green shade of males upon your maturity. Your claws are sharp, capable of doing damage to most native wildlife on the island. Only resurrected species on Isla Sorna and Nublar have skin able to resist your claws now. This will change, with time.

    Hunting Skills: Novice
    Sensing Skills: Blooming Novice
    Hiding Skills: Blooming Novice
    Intellectual Skills: Growing Quickly
    Social Skills: Growing Quickly
    Survival Skills: Novice
    Inner Self: Prominent For Now!

    Species Ability: Pack Loyalty Your pack stands by you in all things.
    Species Disadvantage: Bloodrush Blood for Blood, Arm for an Arm. VENGANCE! in all things.

    Hora.
     
    Okay, since no one changed their vote it is time for the two sides die.

    1 = Hang in the Trees.
    2 = Get an Adult!

    Rolling...

    Edit: Looks like we are getting an Adult! Update will be up sometime tomorrow or Saturday. Most likely tomorrow. So... In the meantime, anyone curious about the odd rock formation or anything else? Maybe what Mother and Father were going to talk about, or the presence of fences in a relatively free-range park area? Always willing to help clarify things, unless I don't feel like it. I just really don't like the idea of triple posting....

    First Speech

    Soundtrack: YouTube Suspense Background Music

    ​

    As the growling grows louder, and seemingly more menacing as it draws ever closer you decide to go get the Grown. Growling only evers comes from threatening things and you don't want anything to catch the pack off guard. You crow to your siblings, saying, "I am going to get a Grown. Come with me," before charging back into the undergrowth, leaving your strip of thickened hide behind. You can just hear your siblings' footsteps and the wet sounds they make in the mud, as they abandon their playthings as well, under the percussion beat of your blood in your head as you lead the way back to the Grown.

    You squint your eyes as you duck and weave through the branches of bushes, ferns, and other vegetation. In the background, under the persistent beating of your blood and the quieter slapping of claws and feet against soft, muddy ground, you can hear the far too subtle growling slowly echo closer. Finally, after way too long running, you and your siblings break through the brush to the small clearing where the main body of the kill remains.

    Taking a moment to analyze the remains, you perceive that there is still some meat left. Not much meat, not even enough to last the entirety of the pack another feeding, but still some for a few to munch on later. Not enough meat to be worth protecting from another Hunter though. You take half a second to feel pride in just how quickly and efficiently your pack tear the most worth-while parts of the carcass before stopping all stray thoughts and focusing on the Grown. Father and Mother stand tall above you, as Scar-Snout and Second Male are savouring some meat from the haunch of Bugle-Crested's (parasaurolophus) remains. Scar-Scales, Slack-Jaw, and Second Female are scattered around the clearing, on watch to preserve the peace of the clearing and to alert the pack of any oncoming intruders.

    You take a breath, hoping to let one of your parents know just what you heard. An eye blink before you can communicate anything though, Mother clicks her jaws, gaining your attention, as well as the rest of the pack. You stay silent as she starts, surprised that she looks at the ground for a few moments before beginning, "You did a good job getting meat from the kill. You quickly distracted the primary protector," she tosses a glance to Pebble-Sister, "and quickly got in and out with your target. I can see that you three have applied the stories well." She huffs momentarily, before chuffing, "However you should not have had to do so. I forgot to communicate to you the proper procedure for partaking from the pack kill. That is on me," she looks over your trio to gaze over the entirety of the pack, "The blame is on me. Sons, Daughters, you can blame me for the scolding you received for stealing and fighting for the kill. Brothers, Sisters, Mate," she gives Father an amused glance, "I am to blame for disturbing the peace of the feasting. You can blame me."

    She stares into the eyes of the watching pack, "If anyone sees fit to challenge me, do so." The pack, silent as it is, quickly falls back to whatever the individuals were doing before. You notice, however, that before returning to sentry duty, Second Female seems tempted to do something. After many long inhalations, you turn your eyes upwards, to Mother as she exhales in relief at the lack of challenges. She turns her snout down to you, her eyes flicking consistently to overlook the pack for late-coming challengers.

    Was hoping to see what the rest of the packs reaction to the growly noise was going to be. Guess I just got to be patient even more and wait for it to come.
