YOU DON'T KNOW ME // JOINING - JAILBIRD - 11-05-2018 [align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.4pt; line-height: 1.4;"]//only the last 2 paragraphs are important He never thought he'd have to chase down a bastard through the desert -some other bastard's land- but he was adaptable, and he'd fantasized about this for too damn long as a kid to quit because of some sand. He'd come too far for that, and there was still a stretch of road to go, but he was nothing if not stubborn. Could hold a grudge, too, though this fuckhead must've thought he could get away with putting kids in pits to fight to the death for his twisted entertainment. How he figured that, Jailbird couldn't say. Maybe he didn't have the brain cells to rub together to think that hey, it probably wasn't the best idea to abuse someone with the capability of tearing him apart. Not that Jailbird was complaining about his shit foresight. This was going to be so goddamn satisfying, desert or not. He would've followed him through the Arctic if he had to- Jailbird didn't care, not with years of shit on his back. Apparently, though, this was one of those deserts with some kind of gigantic oasis in the middle of it. What were the odds? Regardless, it was a bit of a drop, wasn't it? Such a pity for Cicero here. Guess he was stuck up here with Jailbird. "What do you want? I'll give you anything! You want gems? Weapons? Some pretty slaves? An arena to run? I've got it all!" He really needed to stop bargaining with the sorts of things that pissed him off. Where were his business smarts? "'Bread and circuses.' Modeled everything after that." He took several steps forward, forcing Cicero several steps back, closer to the edge of the canyon. "Wasn't Cicero who said it, dumbass." Felt good to finally say that. Idiots with power were worse than idiots without it, because they could say stupid shit and get away with it. "Are you serious?" "Dead serious." Jailbird smirked, and by now Cicero was wildly searching for some kind of out, but every direction was in his reach. See, it was easy to beat on a kid, easy to keep beating on him with a whole squad of goons when he got older, but one on one- well, Cicero should know the odds. He'd always bet in Jailbird's favor. "Do me a favor? Scream." He shoved him over the side, and- yes, there was the scream. Jailbird stared down the canyon, watching Cicero disappear, and after a moment or two, the shrieking cut off abruptly. Right. Jailbird's turn, then, but he wasn't launching to his death. He searched for a tree he could probably land in without fucking himself up beyond repair, though the canopy was so thick it was difficult to find one. Well. Standing around wasn't going to solve anything, so the smilodon backed up, and took off for a running start, launching himself into the canyon. He broke through the canopy and struck a branch, then another, breaking his fall less than comfortably. But hey, he didn't die. That counted for something. From there, it was a matter of sliding down, and eventually, he made it to the ground. Banged up, with some scratches and maybe a bruised rib or three, but he'd had worse doing less. Exhaling carefully, he glanced it what he thought was the general direction he threw Cicero. Had to make certain he'd actually kicked the bucket. "Better be fucking dead," he muttered, setting off through the jungle, shoving aside foliage.

Given that he's only been a member for a few days, the fact that Eddie isn't quite sure how to navigate the Rosebloods' territory can be forgiven. At his bodymate's insistence he's been scouring as much of the territory as he can, but it's a lot for him to navigate. He's not exactly made for a jungle, having been raised in an urban area. .. Technically his species would be suited for an area with so many trees, but Eddie was not going to climb a damn tree for any reason. Really, though, it's the sound of breaking canopy that alerts Eddie to the fact that anybody is there at all. The raccoon's ears prick at the snap-break and some. Was .. somebody falling? That was .. unfortunate. They had to be pretty heavy to be breaking them at all. And as much as Eddie would like to leave the problem to somebody else entirely, he's a little too curious as to what the hell was going on. With this being said, the brown-furred raccoon trots through the undergrowth, relatively unconcerned. This is, of course, how he encounters the stranger. There's a soft, curious rumble in the back of his head, but his bodymate, fortunately, says nothing. It's a .. uh. Sabetooth tiger, Smilodon, what the hell did people call them these days? Either way, Eddie doesn't really care. ".. You looking for something there?" He snorts softly as he approaches the stalking Smilodon. Perhaps he should be a little more wary, with how much larger the other was, but Eddie hasn't ever really had any concern about his own health. And, well, they seem a little scuffed up, possibly from falling through the fucking trees. Eddie shudders just thinking about such an experience, much to Venom's apparent amusement. Eddie would tell him to shut up, but he has no interest in supposedly talking to himself in front of people. He usually doesn't care about other people's opinions but honestly he can't be labeled as the group nutjob less than a week in, that would suck.

He didn't think some of them would take "trash panda" to heart and emulate it as entirely as this guy was. Jailbird wasn't a stranger to getting in the muck, to bloodying himself and having it dry before he could find somewhere to clean it off better, so he wasn't judging. Mostly. He doubted he looked comely at the moment, considering he just fell through a canopy. The feline didn't plan on ever doing that again, if at all avoidable; he'd make some damn stairs if he had to just to avoid crashing through leaves and the possibility of death. Huffing, ribs quietly protesting -they could fuck off too- Jailbird glanced away from the raccoon, back to the direction he'd originally wanted to investigate. If the bastard lived, he was going to have to find something nastier to finish him off with. Maybe tie some rocks to his legs and push him into a lake? Not quite as satisfying as watching him plummet however many feet, screaming the whole way down, but at least it guaranteed death. Unless he somehow got free. That'd be Jailbird's luck. "My sugar daddy," he drawled dryly, sapphire gaze back on the raccoon. "You look like you need one." Not judging, not judging. "Actually, a dead body. Maybe a smear. Not sure." If he was dead. He hated that possibility, but the bastard was a cockroach.

It's quite possible that Eddie hasn't ever consciously made an attempt to tidy himself up so maybe, just maybe, "trash panda" is an appropriate title for him. Eddie wouldn't even try to deny it -- Annie had told him he sucked at taking care of himself and his appearance, back when they were still in a relationship. So. "What the hell," Eddie says, more to the sugar daddy comment than the 'dead body'. He doesn't sound upset, just a little incredulous. Okay, but .. fair. That was fair. He wasn't going to lie, though, that was one of the more ridiculous things that have been said to him. There's been worse, though. It was .. just part of being a nosy motherfucker, or so some people would say. After a brief moment, though, the raccoon shakes his head. Okay. Dead body. ".. Did they also fall?" He asks, less concerned than he probably should be, the only hint of anything just a minor twist of his expression. He should also probably be asking who the hell the body was. Or their name. Or why they didn't care and were so sure they were dead. Eddie, however, is too tired to care, his curiosity be damned. "I haven't seen anything, but I'll help you look for it. But then you'll probably have to leave, or something else. What the hell do I care." Trespassers probably weren't supposed to be here unless they were joining, but it'd be a shame to leave a body rotting on territory for some unsuspecting Roseblooder to find. Demanding they leave right away would probably end in a fight Eddie couldn't win, anyways. He could always blame his status as a newcomer and the previous fact in case he got in trouble or something.

Frightfur was trying very hard to stay interested in watching a line of ants march to and from the shard of candy he’d dropped on the rainforest floor. The tiny insects gathered around it, inspecting it, running around like hell. It was funny—everything was quite funny until a crashing sound sprang up from far off. What the hell was that? Was the forest collapsing? The sky caving in? With a humph and a final goodbye to the ants (a swing of one of his heavy metal paws to crush the candy piece and the gathered ants underneath without a second wasted), he forced himself to go and do something useful, to scout the noise. But it seemed he hadn’t been the first guy to hear the disaster. Eddie was already here, and he cut a confused gaze to the raccoon in question as if he was asking to be filled in before taking in the smilodon stranger with his wild green eyes. He liked the thick muscles on the stranger and the floofy tail spurred his fancy but, really, who was this guy? The sound of the canopy breaking earlier suddenly gave him a half-formed assumption of an answer. ”Oh dear…ha wait does this mean ya fell in? How did ya manag—nevermind don’t answer that. Who are you and why’d ya ever come this far into the desert,” the feminine serval tried to speak through immature laughter. Really, if he’d known in the current moment that they were looking for the dead body of a guy who the smilodon had shoved off a fucking cliff and probably murdered he probably wouldn’t have been laughing or chill in his demeanor. He conjured a green apple sucker and popped it into his mouth, humming in curiosity. [table][tr][td] |
