All right, this is for all you writers who want to brush up on your skills or warm up before a roleplay! The rules are simple: create a prompt for the person below you. That person will then write, in 100 words or less, a bit of prose or poetry involving that prompt in whatever way they wish. After writing it, create a new prompt for the next person, and so on and so forth. Best of all, have some fun!  FIRST PROMPT: Your character of choosing is faced with imminent death, which they know for certain they cannot escape. How do they react? |

Okay let me see if I got this right...I'm not good at rhyming poetry but I want to make sure I'm doing it right hahah
Meho gave a heavy sigh
Remembering the morning Givra had died
He had come to realize he'd soon join her
After losing a fight against a tiger (yeah yeah slant I know.. )
He had walked alone for many seasons
He'd kept it up for his own reasons
What he wondered now was for his daughters and sons
Who would look after them, anyone?

Well, you've almost got it... you're supposed to basically react to the situation given.
Also, you forgot to put in a prompt for the next person, so I'll go ahead and reuse my own and put another after mine ^^
Thump, thump.
Mlezi was aware of every one of her heart beats, counting them as the ground rushed up towards her. It was like an overexcited cub with malicious intent to crush and grind her into nothingness, a pup with the cruel intention of putting fear into its prey before it bit down.
Thump.
They were numbered, and she knew it. The stoic lioness closed her eyes, feeling oddly at peace in spite of her impending death.
Thump...
The cub from below pounced up to meet her, and she greeted it like an old friend as her body made impact.
NEXT PROMPT: What would you do if you had to make a choice between keeping a friend and making yourself an outcast, or keeping your social status and betraying them?

Oooo, this sounds interesting!  Lets give it a go with Scout. >3 --- She was the finest her pride had to offer - not because she was attractive, but because she was loyal, knew duty. She wasn't afraid to die. She never questioned her orders, never hesitated to complete her mission, never made a mistake. But now she stood above her target and paused. For the first time in her life she questioned her orders, hesitated. She had made a mistake. She had befriended her target and couldn't deal the killing blow. And in that she had betrayed her pride, and would from now on become an exile. She gladly accepted her fate. --- NEXT PROMPT: Your character has acquired the meal of their life. But wait, another more powerful creature has appeared and orders your character to give over the meal or fight for it. What will your character do? |

The blind cub could have leapt for joy--finally, a huge catch, done all by herself! Ijus's maw hung open slightly as she drank in the scent of fresh kill. She opened her mouth for the first bite--
Slam.
A huge hyena shouldered her out of the way. Bewildered, the blind leopard cowered and crouched down.
"Oh, please, I'm so hungry..." she begged. The hyena snorted.
"What're ya gonna do? Fight me?" It sneered. Ijus hung her head in answer and walked away, whimpering in hunger and shame.
Next prompt: Your character has fallen in love with another, and goes to confess their love--but before the words come out, the other tells your character that they have just joined in a relationship with someone else... someone besides your character. How does your character react?

Hagen took a deep, quivering breath. He was going to do it. He was finally going to do it. He was going to tell her... “Ruzuna, I… There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. I… Well… Uh, the thing is… that…”
The young lioness looked at him with those wonderful, deep blue eyes, smiling that wonderful, sweet smile… “Actually, Hagen, there is something I’ve been meaning to tell you too!”
The white lion’s heart skipped a beat. “Y-yes?”
“Joto and I, we’re a real couple now! He asked me yesterday, on top of the rocks at sunset. Oh, isn’t he just wonderful? It was so romantic!”
Hagen was dumbstruck. It was as if his head had stopped functioning for a moment. He could think of no response.
“Hey, Hagen? Are you alright?”
“I- I… I’m fine.” he stuttered “I… gotta go.” He then turned around, head hanging low. After all this time… Mustering all that courage… And he was too late. A day too late! It was not fair!
Next prompt: Your character is about to part with their best friend, possibly forever, to go on a quest to a faraway land. What happens?

Half-breed, they called her. An outsider, the tainted one, not quite a lion but neither a leopard. She had always been looked down upon, always alone. Until Finja had found her and became her best friend.
And now Finja was leaving.
“Tefnut”, the lioness started, licking her suddenly dry lips. “I… There’s something you need to know.”
The liard turned to look at her, and suddenly Finja was caught in her friend’s emerald gaze, unable to finish. They stared at each other for a moment, and then the liard averted her gaze.
“I know.”
“And I promise to come back."

Next prompt: Your character meets a total stranger that somewhat bitterly claims to know them. Your character, however, is completely certain that they have never met before. What is your character's reaction when the stranger keeps insisting they know each other?

"I don't know who you are!" The lioness's eyes flashed with cold anger.
"Of course you wouldn't know," the cheetah hissed venomously. "You wouldn't remember one as low as myself. Nor would you remember how we met."
Seca snarled. "Get away from me or I'll have you killed."
The cheetah laughed bitterly. "Oh, you mean the same way you so carelessly left my cubs to starve?" she murmured dangerously, now intimately close. Seca looked down her nose and sniffed.
"Less to feed," she remarked flippantly. The cheetah grinned before locking her jaws around the lioness's throat at lightning speed.
Next prompt: Time takes its toll on everyone. Tell us about an elderly character and a bit of their self-reflection on their past.

OOC - Since I haven't exactly got any lion characters *sob* I'll just make someone up.
IC -
"What are YOU doing here?" Zama demanded.
"I'm your brother, why else would I be here?" Said the bigger lion. Zama was a young cub, and she had been in an argument with her older brother, and she wasn't in the mood to apologise.
"I came to find you." Her brother continued. "You went missing and... Well I figured you'd be here." He placed his paw on the wall of the cave, were Zama had painted paw prints with berry juice when her paws were even smaller than they were now.
"This is my clubcave!" Zama screamed. "Get out!"
"OUR clubcave." Her brother corrected.
"No, MINE. You're not a cub anymore, you're a horrible teenager and you don't want to play with me anymore!"
OOC - SOrry if that's longer than 100 words, I suck at counting. XD
Next Prompt - Your character discovers something new! How do they react to this?

(Not sure if its 100 words I don't have word count on my phone and I kept losing count, I tried though)
The unusually coloured, reddish brown lioness padded into a lone cave, weary from walking. At the deepest point a glare of colours were sparkling. And Alina allowed a gasp of awe to pass her lips.
Jewels of all types were buried deep in the rock, Alina was mesmerized by them, blue, red, pink. Any colour you could think of. This was going to be her place. Her little secret she vowed as she padded closer to the rocks, the colours reflected in her ice blue eyes. As she made to place a paw on one a bang announced an unwanted presence. Looked like she would have to share it after all.
Promt:- a character of your choice has just reunited with a friend/family member but they come baring bad news, how does you character react to being reunited and to whatever the bad news (anything of your choice) is?

So this is a lot longer than 100 words... I kinda couldn't help myself xD
------
“Myrna!” he shouted, feeling as if he could burst from joy. She was there to welcome him home, to let him into her warm, loving embrace... Everything would be the way it was before and the endless nights on the mountain would be forgotten. He came to a halt in front of her, beaming. “I've come home.” he said, smiling from ear to ear. She him a long nuzzle.
“Oh, Heron...! We all thought you were dead!” she said.
“But I'm not!” he laughed “And I've come home. To you.” Heron leaned forwards to give his loved one another nuzzle, but she pulled away.
“That's... that's just it, Heron... We all thought you were dead. I thought I'd never see you again.”
“But here I am! What... what's wrong?”
“You see, I... Well, we... Everything... Everything cannot be as it was.”
Heron's laughter died away. “What are you talking about?”
“Mother! Mother, what's taking you so long?” a young voice called from the other side of the rocks.
“I'm coming!” Myrna replied, then turned to look back at Heron. She felt no further explanation was needed.
Heron hung his head low. “I see...” he mumbled “You've moved on.”
Myrna sighed, looking away. She had never in her wildest dreams imagined that this would be a situation she would have to be faced with. But here he was, back from the dead.”Oh, Heron, I...”
“No. I should have expected this. It was wrong of me to believe that you would wait for me. But can I ask you one thing...”
“Of course.”
“Are you... are you happy? Without me?”
Myrna sighed once more, ears drooping. “Yes. Yes, I am.”
Heron, crushed, turned around, ready to leave again, but felt a paw on his shoulder.
“But that doesn't mean there isn't room for you here. Come on, the others will be glad to see you.”

Juniper stared at Bleak in disbelief. The black lion was staring at her with those yellow eyes of his, waiting for her answer. He wanted her to join him, had fed her imagination with the dream of a better life.
She could help him kill the king. Only…
“I can’t.”
Bleak’s expression didn’t change, nor did he say anything. He merely watched her, and she almost cringed as the silence grew. But she wouldn’t, not after what he had just said.
After several minutes of silence, the black lion finally let out a sigh. “Then you die with the others.”
----
Next prompt: Your character is annoyed. What is the source of his/her annoyance, and how does he/she solve the problem?

OOC - I'll try using Zhenga.
BIC -
Zhenga kicked at the rock on the floor with her paw.
"Ow ow ow!" She cried, holding her paw up high in the air. She wasn't expecting it to hurt, but then again it was a rock. A large one.
Zhenga groaned in annoyance, not only the rock but her father, trying to 'teach' her. Do this, don't do that, this is how to hunt, this is how to fight, this is how to argue... It was all too much.
"What am I going to do?" Zhenga cried out, slumping on the floor with a thud. Then suddenly, she had a brilliant idea.
Next prompt - Your character's friend or family member or enemy (your choice) has died. How does your character react to this?

Time to dig up some characters I most likely will never RP here. xP
---
Atarya had been wary of him the first time they had met. He was an outsider, and she had been taught not to trust outsiders.
But Grandeur had proven her preconceptions wrong, and they had become friends. He had never had a friend, never even craved for one. She taught him the value of such things, and so much more as they became mates. He had been happy, as had she.
Her pride, however, had not. They feared him, hated him, and to get to him they had killed her.
And now... Now he lived for only one thing.
Revenge.

Next prompt: Your character comes across an ocean for the first time in their life. How does he/she react?

Sheek was confused, its like the water had a life of its own, it kept on coming forwards and backwards , but the sound of it instantly made him feel relaxed, he closed his eyes and took in the fresh open air, this also smelt differently. He wanted to investigate it further, he hesitantly took a few steps towards the edge, the water suddenly came forward and covered his paws. He wondered if this new type of water tasted as good and as refreshing as it sounded. He lent down slowly and lapped up some water, regretting it immediately afterwards.
Next prompt - Your character comes across an old rival in danger, what would they do ?

(OOC: I love this idea!)
Xoren's ears perked up as he heard the strained roaring of two lines just over the ridge he was walking. As he climbed over the rocks, being careful to remain concealed, he saw the fight that had been causing the commotion. It was clear that one of the lions was easily overpowering the other and Xoren began to stand and move towards the fight to help the weaker of the two but upon seeing the feline's face he froze. He did not remember much from the night he lost both his mate and cub but the face of the lion that was being attacked was one thing he could never forget. Xoren moved closer, waiting until his enemy was crippled before attacking and scaring off the agressor. "Thank you" the crippled lion said as he attempted to stand before Xoren pushed him back down with his paw. "Don't apologize" Xoren said with a cold tone as he stepped on one of the cat's legs, snapping it with a lurid crack, "you may not recognize me, but the pain you are about to experience will only ever be a fraction of what you have put me through; a quick death is too good for your kind of scum."
Next Prompt - Your character has gotten hopelessly lost in a dense jungle and can't find their way out. How do they react and solve/fail to solve the problem?

How embarrasing. Tefnut was certain she had taken the right turn after leaving the secret waterhole hidden in the jungle. There was no way, no way, that she who had grown up in the jungle would ever get lost. She didn’t recognize the trees around her. How very embarrasing indeed. With a heavy sigh, the liard turned around. She cursed herself for not paying attention to where she was going, for backtracking would be much more difficult now. Scoffing with frustration, Tefnut lowered her nose and began trailing her own scent. She only hoped there would be no rain tonight. --- I forgot how much fun this is. xD And since I'm on a Christmas-y/winter-y mood..........  Next prompt: Your character has come in contact with snow for the first time in their life. How will they react? |

Lets give it a go with Scout. >3
Also added Christmassy snow and banner :3
I'm currently getting some uni work done before heading to the post office. What's up with you?
