Brushing up a bit

[NimronKiTel]

((OOC: I would like to brush up a bit on my RPing skill since it's been a while. I'd prefer a partner with a little skill so I can really improve quickly. However, if you are lesser skilled feel free to come in. But I ask that you PLEASE use proper English. I can't rightly produce good work if I cant read what you posted, all right? A bit about the char I'm using is she is a young lion cub whose wandered a bit too far from her mother, and her pride. Why? A butterfly of course!))

Over green grass and many a stone. Through an old rotted log, and bounding off the side of a tree. Squirreling around, after a butterfly of all things, was a young lioness cub. Her eyes - one brown, and one blue - fixed on an an African Congo which she first spotted as her pride was traveling nearest to the trees of the rain forest. Her eyes widened as she got close enough to pounce on her fluttering prey, and so she did... or she tried. Just as her back legs jolted to propel her body into the air, the clever Congo swerved to the left, and increased it's altitude. The cub kept her eyes fixed on the butterfly, and thus missed the large stone she was about to crash into.
"Ouch!" she whined as she bounced off of the hard oddly shaped stone. "Stupid butterfly!"

((OOC again: The link in the butterflies name goes to a picture of it. Thought you'd like to see it!))

The "large, oddly shaped stone" wasn't in fact a stone at all, but rather the head of Bunterbuss, the young rhino calf who had been dozing in the long grass. Upon feeling a tiny weight scratch his nose he raised his head and shook his knobbly snout. There, in the grass a few paces before him, was a... indiscernable blob. Rhinos had particularly bad eyesight, but his nose smelled trouble. Still, his brain smelled excitement, so he made a few cautious steps forward until he could see properly...
When a startled, colourful-eyed creature slowly came into focus, he gave it a sniff and said, "Hey, you woke me up. If I was my dad you'd be in soo much trouble right now." Then he cocked his head, and took another sniff. "Err... What are you?"

[NimronKiTel]

"I-I'm a...mighty lioness!" she lied, memory of her mothers paw across the back of her head last time she lied surfaced, but she shook it away, "But...I don't want to hurt you. You look friendly enough...kinda. So, um...Hi. I'm Caprona. Whats your name?
Caprona giggled, and grinned a little, incredibly shyly knowing that this creature was the result of many lion-cub deaths. She hoped he would not call his father. She hoped of many things, but most of all, her frightened mind wished that she hadn't chased that butterfly.

a little way off was the border between the outlands and the pridelands the young cub sat down as he sensed he was not alone infrout of him was a jungle but he knew this was no time for playing wet grass being felt inbewtween his paws he was very unhappy for two reasons one his moutther and farther just dissaped two he didn't know how t survive and thought he would probly starve

"Daddy why did you leave me"

[cheezeegriff]

(Neo, you'll need to make an entrance - don't rely on our characters to just know you're there).

"My name's Bunterbuss, but you can call me Bunter," Bunter said, probing the lion with his stump of a horn. "You don't look very MIGHTY, you know. I thought lions were bigger... can you roar?"
He circled around her, sniffing and scratching.
"And why are you alone? Mother said that lionesses hunt in packs. Or was that flocks?" He said, striking a thoughtful pose.

[NimronKiTel]

"Of course I can roar..." She tried to prove herself and let out - with great effort - what amounted to a pittiful mew. "Well. Kinda. And I'll get bigger, just you see!"
She watched the young rhino, no longer fearing him, but cautious of any evidence of parents. Her ears became her eyes as she listened for anything... predatory.
"By the way, we hunt in packs. Birds are in flocks. And I'm alone because..." she sighed, embarrassed, "I was traveling with my pride because they were kicked out by another pride. Bunch of meanies! Anyway, I saw this butterfly and I chased it here. It made me run into you, actually." She finished out of breath, and she lowered her ears. "I hope I didn't hurt you, Bunter."

[neo]

he kept walking into the jungle and was immeadltlty caught of guard by all the greany he had never seen such in his life suddenly he saw a female lion and a rhaino calf he immeadilty crouched dow low not whating them to see them he stoped brathing he cupuld do this for a massive amout of time he had lerned to becuse of so many other dangerous ecoters

"Hurt me? Hah! It'd take a lot more than a little furball to hurt me,"
he said, and winked at her, grinning widely.
"Now, about your pride... hmm..." He looked around at the trees in thought. "Well... maybe I can take you back to my mum. She's out in the grass just beyond the forest's edge. I'm... not really meant to be here," he said, lowering his huge head but glancing at Caprona with a mischevous smile. "So don't tell her that when we find her, k? Come on!"
And without any further words he turned and trundled off, following his way back towards the open forest.

[neo]

"was Sie ist, hier tuend"
he sighs
"what are you doing here"

he says stading in your way
"you could get hurt bad"

[NimronKiTel]

((OOC: Nice use of German! Where'd you learn that?))

"I don't think that would be a good idea, Bunter...You see...Whoa!" she jumped, startled by the new cub.
"I was chasing a butterfly, and ran into Bunter. We were just talking until now."
"Who are you? My names Caprona. Hes Bunter by the way. Hes friendly." she found herself giggling again at herself, "What was that language you used? You know, when you first said...something? It was funny sounding."

[neo]

((I stuy german at my school in my summer exams I got first LOL I RULE AT GERMAN))

"ohhh chasing a beautifly didn't happen to run away from your pride in the process talking yeah talking about how you planned to get away from your parents I bet trust me whenever the thing that seems annoying is tooken away from you you miss it so much Sorry names Neo and I was using German my dad was german"
he sighed to himself

[NimronKiTel]

"Ummm... Okay... I didn't run away. Our pride was moving and a butterfly caught my attention. Your kinda rude, you know that? You shouldn't judge people by their sit-sit....situation." Caprona huffed, a mixture of hurt, and angered by Neo's words.
'How dare he!' she thought as she looked between Neo and Bunter.
"Listen, if you are quite done insulting me, Neo, maybe we could all get something to eat before we go anywhere? Are there any bugs around? Mom says that they are good, especially if theres nothing else around. And...Theres nothing else around. So. Bugs? Any ideas?"

[neo]

"I know that you love your family very much keep loving them never ever let them think you hate them"

he sighed

"thats why I hate myself and no I'm not hungry

[NimronKiTel]

"Well I am." She turned sharply on two feet and walked to a mostly rotten branch. Bracing herself with her back legs, she pushed hard against the branch and rolled it away. Under it were beetles and grubs galore. All manner of crunchy and wriggly things.
"Oh my. Theres more here than I can eat. Are you sure, Neo?" she said, her tone softened as she lowered her head into the pit where the bugs were to take a bite. One crunch. Two, and then three. And a muffled "Delicious!" could be heard. "Come on you two. These are great!"

[neo]

"good my parents are dead"
Neo turend round and started to watch the stars woudering if what his grandmouther had told him were true
"your dad's with the stars now"
he watched the young cub eat
"wouldn't you rather eat something like hare

[NimronKiTel]

"Hare? Eww. I don't like hare. My siblings think I'm weird for that. Bugs are good though. I didn't think they would be."
"How did your parents die? Maybe you can come live with me in my pride. Mom always kills big animals for food, so we all eat very well. And after were done, the vultures come in and us cubs watch them eat whats left. It's fun! Then we wrestle. I'm the best wrestler, of course. I can beat anybody in our pride!" she said proudly, "I'm sure you'd be welcome."

[neo]

"my parents"

he sighed

"my mouther was skinned alive and my dad welll he killed himself becuse of it if I could come and live with your pride that would be cool sure if your mom let's you acoss"
he scarthed himself as he was full of termites
"damm diese Termiten!"
he stands back up
"sprry german was a first langrage for me
