BLUE — FEMALE — THE TYPHOON — NONE — EXTREME PHYSICALLY EASY MENTALLY

She wasn't sure what she was supposed to think of this place. She has been here before, but not to stay. Her pack had entered here at one point and ended up killing one of the pack members that lived here. Which still confused her as to why they were coexisting with the other group. The other group was obviously other carnivores and it would mean that there would be competition for food. The Utahraptor had no intention of being kind and gentle to those that were considered to be their food and threats. She couldn't bring herself to do that, and it was rare that she was gentle anyway being a feral animal and everything. The Utahraptor just wanted to survive, and that survival instinct had nearly been taken away when she was locked away in that damned cage. Blue didn't want to serve anyone. She just wanted to server herself and no one else.

The dinosaur didn't care what others thought of her as she wasn't really capable of understanding to that degree in the first place. They either were afraid of her or they would be aggressive as they tried to defend one another. She wasn't sure what the big beast was and whether it or not. Delta seemed to follow its orders like it was no big deal that the big beast could kill one of them if they were caught in its jaws. Blue still refused the idea that the large creature was actually Owen and had kept a safe distance from the other. The creature was large, but it was doubtful that it would be able to outrun her in a full-on sprint. Could she even get away in her condition? Probably not, but that wasn't going to stop her from trying either. She was led to the nest that was nearby, and the scent of her sisters calmed her down a little. The scent of the large beast nearly snuffed out the other scents so it took her a couple seconds before she realized it was indeed the scent of her sisters.

It was reassuring that the rest of them were here. Beng a feral animal meant that she wasn't going to hold a grudge whether or not they had gone looking for her. Survival of the fittest. If she had died, then she died because she was too weak. She had stayed near the nest the majority of the day, the physical exhaustion far too much for her to really go anyway. Despite her exhaustion though, she wasn't really able to sleep with the thought that the other pack might end up attacking them at any moment. Blue was curled up on one of the nests, her heavily scarred tail curling around her body and covering her shackled leg as if to hide a weakness. Her eyes were open and she wasn't sleeping, but from behind it may seem like she was. Blue was extremely jumpy in her current environment, every little sound causing her head to snap up and looking for the source of the sound. The blue-ish grey Utahraptor would fidget while she was there, refusing to go to sleep.

Normally the young raptors father and sister had to keep a very close eye out because it seemed next to impossible to keep the infant near the nest. Majorly, young staying near their nest was never any problem, but this was not the nest she had hatched within nor was she anything short of extremely adventurous. Ever since she was swift enough to move without falling flat on her face after about ten feet of dashing? The young raptor had been slipping from the nest and exploring the world around them as if she large as her sisters. Only, she found some stuff they could not because of her smaller size, zipping through fallen hallow tree's, and basically using the whole forest as her personal jungle gym. Thanks to all of her current running around? She would easily be able to keep up with her sisters as she grew, her legs remained shorter than the others now, but she had great muscle tone. Masie was lucky enough to have the benefit of being wild born, so she could run for as far and long as possible until Owen, Delta or now Blue, told her it was time to go back to the nest.

Today was different from most of the days she darted into the forest to explore every inch of each and every blade of grass. At the current moment? Masie was much more curious about her returned sister! Owen and Delta had went somewhere, likely to hunt. Right now, it was the perfect opportunity for Masie to investigate Blue without anyone else interfering. "Blue." she spoke the other's name, far from hidden but her body was great protection against her being seen by other predators against the forest, since she was brown. Slowly, Masie approached, tilting her head and raising her body up looking larger but far from threatening considering her stomach was not protected in this position it was clear she was just trying to look at Blue easier. "Hungry?" the small raptor asked the question, honey amber optics blinking softly as she lowered herself again, head returning to it's normal position. Her sister had seemed ravenous earlier, but she had eaten some fish and the deer leg, so Masie had to wonder if she was still hungry or not. If Blue was still hungry? The little raptor would go find her some small stuff to tide her until the others could get back with a real meal.

POWER OVER MIND

BLUE — FEMALE — THE TYPHOON — NONE — EXTREME PHYSICALLY EASY MENTALLY

Dealing with other animals wasn't something that happened all that often. When she first came to this world, she was confused about everything that was going on. What were these things that were running around? Why was this thing attacking her when she had explicitly warned them to stay away? It made no sense to the feral creature what was happening to her but it was all part of Ingen's plan, in the end, to see if they could really be used for weapons. Blue and her sisters didn't have a lot of interactions with other animals when it came to being commanded by the humans in the paddock that they lived in. The only live animal that they really came into contact with was a pig, but they were rarely ever allowed to catch the small prey item that would run through the trees and bushes of their environment. It confused Blue as to why they weren't allowed to eat it, but she would always try her hardest to try and devour the small creature. The Utahraptor wasn't allowed outside of her cage unless she was due to go to the lab for checkups. This was her least favorite part about the humans as they would prick her and do painful things to her body every other couple of days. The scientists had to make sure that she was healthy so that they didn't have to worry about a million dollar asset dying on them. It made sense that they wanted the best for the animal, but they also had to be allowed to run around and have some form of entertainment to get their mind working instead of becoming vegetables in the paddock.

Exercise and other enrichment items certainly helped with that, but Blue had always wondered what was outside of the cage that they were put in when she wasn't knocked out using drugs. Blue had gotten her wish almost two years ago when she was dropped into this world. Creatures that showed fear toward her meant that they were prey items, just like how the humans were afraid of them. The aspect of fur was completely strange to Blue as she had never seen it before. She knew about hair on top of humans, but that was around roughly the state of her knowledge on anything similar. Her sisters and herself being comprised of scales instead of the likes of feathers like some dinosaurs were depicted to be. Those depictions were correct about feathered dinosaurs, but her sisters were genetically modified, which means those depictions are null and void to the likes of them. Not that majority of the creatures that live in a place like this understand any of it. Blue remembered that the first thing that she attacked in this world was actually a clanner that lived in a different clan compared to this one. The clanner hadn't expected a massive predator to come for them, and the canine didn't even remotely stand a chance. It was at this moment that the Utahraptor came into contact with the dead creatures clanmates that immediately attacked her. She had only been defending herself and her food when they challenged her, not understanding anything about their language as he was indeed feral. Evidently, she was knocked out and placed in a cage where she woke up, the clanners trying to figure out what to do with them.

Blue wasn't the only one that was dropped near a clan, as so were the rest of her sisters. This had been how they met Luciferr. The massive dragon always around to make sure that the raptors were in check, but also there to interrupt them if they were trying to hunt something. He became a nuisance, and Blue was surprised to find that the other existed so close by to Delta and probably the rest of her sisters. Blue didn't like that idea, as it was going to take a lot to take something like that down if they really needed to. The genetics that ran through her body allowed her to have a slower metabolism like that of a reptile. This also meant that once she ate a lot, she wouldn't have to eat the rest of the day and even partly into the next day. But the Utahraptors were slightly warm-blooded thanks to their genetic code and it was the reason why they were allowed to be so active even during the darkest nights. The recovering female heard small movement, barely noticeable but with her current jumpy nature, it didn't take long for her to notice. Her head raised itself as she looked in the direction of the sound but couldn't see the source of the noise.

A babble soon followed after it though, and it was Masie. A name that she learned by the use of the large creature addressing the younger dinosaur with it. Blue didn't say anything back toward the other, knowing that with the way the large beast acted it probably wouldn't be in her best intention to try and eat her. But that also didn't mean she was about to start cuddling up to her either. Blue didn't trust anyone here. Her amber eyes watched the raptors movements as she came out of cover. Blue shifted so that her arms were in front of her, and if Masie got too close Blue would let out a low growl to keep the youngster at a distance. She didn't hate the raptor though, she just didn't trust her. The tip of her massive tail flickered on the ground as the other approached her. All that was in the form of a greeting was the loud huff of air that exhaled from Blue's nostrils in a loud noise. At the mention, if she was hungry though, Blue's interest was immediately taken. Shifting her left arm, the shackle there rattling slightly. "Food." Blue would babble in return. She could always use more to eat, as she needed to gather her strength back again.

Watching her sister, the tiny raptor attempted to copy the huff her sister had greeted her with. Masie was far too small to greet another creature that way, because the strength of the huff knocked off the fragile balance of her lanky body, causing her to roll several feet backwards. Once the small raptor righted herself? She seemed to look around to see if there was any reason for what had happened, as nothing near that had happened when Blue huffed, so she didn't exactly understand what had happened. So young, and inexperienced when compared to everyone else in the pack, but yet she was more mentally there than any of them expect maybe Owen so far as she had seen. Instead of getting upset about something she didn't understand right away? Masie sniffed her muzzle around the ground, looking at where she had been standing and making several huffs, growing in strength until one caused her body to jolt, aiding her in realizing what happened making a chittering laughter. Who would have thought she could make herself roll with just the strength of her own body! Oh, she'd be having fun with that later.

"Masie Fish" lashing her tail once the raptor turned tail and scampered off towards the only sound of running water nearby, a fresh water stream about fifty foot from the nest. At the edge of the stream she looked back to 'check' on Blue one more time before taking her first few steps into the stream. If she entered too quickly? The fish all startled and she caught nothing. After about five minutes, the little fisher had managed to hook a few large fresh water fish, about half her size. Of course, getting them back to Blue was a struggle, considering how small she was in comparison to the food she as bringing back, but it didn't deter her. At the very least she clearly wouldn't be afraid of taking on difficult or fearful tasks beside them when she grew larger.

Upon bringing the fish back around the nest, she would resort to carrying them over one at a time, unable to carry that many further than she already had. "Fish." she chittered as she set down one of the fish in front of blue, about two feet separating them, swiftly moving to get one of the other one's she had captured earlier. Once more, she had left them all alive, seemingly unknowing as to how to kill them. Heck, if Blue payed attention, she would eventually quickly learn that the small raptor had not yet been taught the proper usage of her jaws and sickle claw. Thus resorted to grabbing things with her tiny arms, stamping on it or otherwise using her body to manipulate it into death or helplessness. At points it seemed as if she may be just playing, but when she was fed, the infant clearly knew what food was, just not entirely how to secure it for herself apart from trampling and tearing apart innocent mice.
