(What's up y'all I'm making yet another playthrough, and we have 1 rule right now but that may change at a later date. Roll 1 trait per lifestage (Babies/children have 1, Teens have 2, Adults have 3) so they grow and change over the course of their lives.) Circuit, a pink nicheling with a white mane, turned around to watch the other three teen nichelings make their way onto the sandy shore of the new island. He tilted his head slightly as he noticed Bumble, a bright yellow nicheling with dark red markings, slightly miss the rock and slip into the shallow water that was only a few pawsteps away from the dry sand. Bumble sat up while spluttering, with her belly and chest dripping from the wet sand and water that had gotten into her fur. Slug, a red nicheling with barely noticable spots, easily jumped over her and landed in the dry sand, spraying dry sand into Bumble’s face. Bumble coughed and spluttered as she tried to wipe her face with one of her paws, forgetting that it was also covered in wet sand. “Sorry about that, but the stones are kinda crumbling behind us” Slug said without seeming like he entirely meant it as he looked over at the crumbling stones just in time to see Oat, a brown nicheling with darker spots and a platypus beak, jump onto the shore just in time for the last stone to crumble with the fragments sinking into the ocean. Bumble practically dragged herself up to the shore before shaking her pelt, spraying wet sand and water droplets everywhere much to the other nichelings shared dismay. “Just because you fell doesn’t mean we need to suffer too” Circuit slightly growled as he squeezed his eyes shut to try and prevent anything from getting in his eyes. The other two followed his example to try and keep themselves safe from the splash but all of them ended up with some sand or water in their fur. After shaking her pelt Bumble just stuck her tongue out at them before looking at the grasses ahead. “Here’s our new home I suppose” Circuit said as he stared at the grasses, feeling small as they towered over him and the other teens around him. The group just stared at the grasses for a little bit before Slug scoffed. “Let’s go” He said as he pushed through the group and started to walk into the grasses making the other three stare for a few seconds before following. Circuit wasn’t sure just blindly going forward was the best choice but from the little he knows of Slug he knows it’s probably best to just let him lead them for now, until Circuit could get a chance to lead them in a better direction anyways. On their journey they grew into adults, mostly because they were almost there already when they arrived on the island. “Looks kinda thin but we could stay here for a while” Oat said as she poked the berry bush with her paw, causing one of the branches to snap off. Oat stared at the now broken off branch that sat on the ground with surprise as her paw was frozen in the same spot. “Whoops” She said as she lowered her paw back to the ground before turning towards the other nichelings to see their thoughts. “Even if it didn’t just lose a branch” Circuit said as he stared at Oat for a few seconds, who simply stared back at him with an indifferent expression “I don’t think that’d be a good food source for all four of us anyways, and there’s no nests or anything else good around” Circuit continued as he stared at the leafless berry bush before idly pushing the broken branch. Slug sighed but couldn’t disagree, the lack of nests or other food sources made this spot less than ideal. “Look” Bumble spoke catching the group’s attention and making them all look over. Bumble had parted some grasses and revealed a nest hiding inside, along with a dodomingo who screeched at the group before fleeing. Bumble winced at the noise for a second before inspecting the nest. “Well well well, look at that. A nest” Oat said as she looked at Circuit with a smug grin, Circuit just responded by giving her the most deadpan expression he could possibly muster. Slug watched the two with amusement before looking over at Circuit. “Well even if it’s not permanent wouldn’t it be good to get our energy or something?” Slug said while ripping up some tall grass so he could see a bit better. Circuit hummed as he considered it before nodding. “A few berries and one nest is better than nothing” Circuit agreed causing Slug to practically push Bumble aside before laying in the nest, getting a pretty offended look from Bumble. Bumble easily shoved him out of the nest, causing him to let out a yelp of surprise, before laying down in the nest herself while giving him a smug smile. Slug narrowed his eyes at her and the two had a staring contest before Oat sighed and walked over to stand between the two. “No need to fight pups” Oat said causing both nichelings to turn their glares onto her instead. Oat just shrugged as she noticed the looks she was getting. “Act like pups get treated like pups” She simply said causing Slug to slightly bare his teeth as Bumble looked away with a pout on her face while Oat tried to stare down Slug. Slug eventually rolled his eyes before walking over to the sad berry bush. So the group had found a place to settle for now… (I FORGOT A SCREENSHOT IN THE FIRST POST WOW- Lol) After a few days of laying around and eating a putrid scent caught Bumble’s attention. Feeling curious, she decided to go investigate the smell as she assumed it was something like a smelly fruit or perhaps a chance at a free meal if it was a carcass. What she did not expect was a towering beast…a bearyena. She froze in shock which was enough time for the beast to bring its paw up before creating a slice across her left shoulder. She got knocked back from the force behind the blow before falling onto the ground with a growl of pain. The sound of pawsteps caused Bumble to weakly lift her head to see Slug now next to her, snarling at the bearyena. He bared his fangs at the beast and when it didn’t back down he sunk his teeth into the bearyena’s hind leg causing it to roar in pain as it tried to swipe at him. He managed to dodge as the sound of more pawsteps approached, it was the rest of the pack. They all took turns nipping and clawing at it until the beast fell onto the ground motionless. After making sure it was dead the pack turned their attention towards Bumble. “Did it give you any other injuries?” Circuit asked as he glanced at the claw wound that ran across Bumble’s left shoulder. Bumble shook her head, not noticing any other injuries or extreme pains on any other part of her body. Circuit breathed out in relief as he realized that there weren’t any other injuries to deal with. The pack took Bumble back to the place they were staying so they could keep an eye on her and her injury. “You better not die from something like this, I mean if you did that’d be a pretty dumb way to go” Slug said with a teasing tone as he sat down next to Bumble, who just stuck her tongue out at him in response to that. “How did you even find a bearyena by yourself?” Slug asked as he wondered why she was out by herself anyways. “Smelled something weird and went to find the source” Bumble answered with a shrug, which she immediately regretted as she felt a twinge of pain in her shoulder. “Don’t make it worse ya idiot” Slug snarked, but there was an undertone of concern if someone was looking for it. “Just take a nap or else you’ll be stuck here for the rest of your life” He spoke again as he stared at Bumble, who just made a big show of rolling her eyes before settling down and closing her eyes. Slug just sighed before scanning his surroundings and keeping his eyes and ears peeled for any sign of danger, deciding that he would keep watch just so nothing could sneak up on the pack.2 points

Fess holds her kit close, trying her best to listen to what Neoki was saying while also making sure Inko didn’t toddle out of the nest. It hurt her to think that Inko would never know what King was like, how he smiled and laughed, how bold and kind he was. Fess had cried all her tears, but that didn’t mean her grief was gone. However, she knew that she had to be there for both her sons, no matter what. Neoki’s voice snapped Fess to the present. Neoki was frowning at her. ‘Uh, I’m sorry, what?’ Fess felt herself burn under her fur from the embarrassment. ‘The strange creatures that have been following us. I asked if you might know who they are, as you are one of the more experienced members of the tribe.’ Neoki patiently explained. She was sitting down on a slightly higher patch of ground. It was custom for leaders to stand during important announcements, but Neoki’s condition seemed to be getting worse the older she got. It seemed the tiredness and weakness she had was worst in her back legs, so much so that she had to sit or lie down most of the time. However, she could still walk around just fine, it was just too tiring for her. Her mind was still as sharp as flint though, and she was probably the most intelligent leader the Tribe of Sun has had for many moons. ‘Sadly, no. Anyone I can think of that might do something like this doesn’t fit the description Shee gave us.’ Fess sighed. Red fur and black fur. She suspected who the creature with red fur might be, but could she say it to Neoki? Neoki continued talking, about a plan of some sort, but Fess was already thinking. Cane was the only other creature who would probably remember Randi well enough to suspect him, but Cane was quiet and reserved. It was up to her. ‘Neoki, excuse me.’ Fess spoke up, standing up and handing Inko over to Aksit. ‘Speak.’ Neoki nodded. ‘The red-furred creature, I was thinking he might be…Randi.’ Fess spoke slowly. Fess couldn’t see it, but in that moment, Neoki’s muscles tensed, and her air of calm broke for a second. The rest of the tribe was quiet. The silence was like a veil, keeping Fess and Neoki hidden from everyone else. Neoki struggled to keep her voice even. Fess was one of her closest friends, why would she say something like this? ‘You and I both know that Randi is most likely dead. He was exiled as a child.’ Neoki said quietly. ‘And even if he was alive, why would he resort to killing his tribe like this? If he wanted revenge, he would have gone for me.’ ‘Randi loved- loves you Neoki. I remember him, he never would have laid a paw on you.’ Fess argued. ‘Maybe he’s going after those who wronged him? Or those who he always secretly disliked?’ ‘Fess, this is extremely unlikely. If you allow it, can we get back to making a plan?’ Neoki’s voice took on a cutting quality. This conversation was over. ‘Of course.’ Fess sighed, sitting back down. Cane gave her a pat on the back, for at least trying. Neoki was clever, that was true. But her grief made her blind to things that were obvious. Maybe Shee could explain some more. Where was he anyway? ‘Aksit, have you seen Shee anywhere?’ Fess murmured. ‘Nope. I think he was with Kendyll and Alia, but they arrived alone.’ ‘Can you please go ask them? This is an important meeting, he should be here.’ Fess took Inko off her son. Aksit whispered to her that he would, and snuck through the crowd. Eventually he bumped into Alia. A quick explanation was all it took to bring a worried expression to her face. ‘But he was right behind us? He said he had to take care of something, and he’d join us in a few minutes.’ She frowned. ‘Shee?’ Neoki called, her face full of confusion. ‘Where is he? It’s his turn to speak.’ ‘He’s still out there!’ Alia cried, darting away from everyone, and back to the place where they found the sick wanderer. ~ ‘At least tell me why you’re doing this.’ Shee spoke out loud. He was in an empty clearing, but he could feel them watching him. He had to do this, he knew the creatures had been following him for days now. ‘But if I tell you, you’ll run off and tell everyone, won’t you?’ The not-so familiar voice of Randi sent chills down Shee’s spine. He whipped around to face him, his fur as red as Neoki’s. He had changed so much, he was thinner, looked more agile, and more grown than before. But what changed the most were his eyes. There was a strange madness in them, something that he hadn’t seen before. Randi walked as if he was stalking prey. Shee stood his ground. ‘The chances of that are small.’ Shee said drily. ‘I know you have an accomplice.’ ‘That he does.’ The voice of the shadow, from behind him. The shadowy creature looked much clearer in daylight, but his fur still remained an inky black. ‘You want to know why I’m doing this. Except I’m not going to tell you, because I’m not stupid.’ Randi spat. ‘All you need to know is that Kendyll is the creature I want to get rid of, and getting rid of you will help me get rid of him. Maybe then he’ll stop hanging around that orange creature, at least for two seconds.’ ‘Why you then?’ Shee turned to face the shadow. It grinned back at him. ‘Let’s just say me and Randi are friends, of sorts.’ The shadow didn’t seem to be bothered by his half-mad friend. Randi snorted at that, but didn’t deny it. It seemed the shadow was enjoying this, while Randi just saw all this as a means to an end. ‘Are you going to hurt me?’ Shee tried to keep his voice calm and confident. It didn’t really work. Randi didn’t say anything. He leapt at Shee. ~ ‘Neoki?’ Alia’s voice. ‘Yes?’ Neoki’s voice, almost as distressed as Alia’s. ‘That plan you were talking about. Where one of us is bait. And the others hide and attack those creatures when they show up?’ ‘What about it?’ ‘We need to go ahead with it. Now.’ ‘...I agree.’ Neoki whispered. They were too late to save Shee. She wouldn’t lose anyone else. (okay things are getting dramatic lol)1 point
