Subject: Re: carnivore and human..... Author: TREX...rage!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:08:35 11/28/01 Wed Author Host/IP: spider-to032.proxy.aol.com/152.163.204.57 In reply to: Mathaira 's message, "Re: Burning yellow eyes observed the sheets of glacier before it...." on 19:20:45 11/28/01 Wed Trex-rage started to limp off course disastrously. No matter how he tried, he just didn't have any energy to stay on course. He was thankful to his grand-rexes that he could even walk at all. He was just about to give out when he heard small noises from behind him. He tensed up and turned abrubtly, ready to defend himself. That was a mistake. He became off balance and put all his weight on his injured leg. With a roar of pain and frustration he came crashing to the ground. He tried getting up again but it was useless. He could not go any farther. He looked at the last stretch of ground to cover to the town. No more than 200 yards away....but it was useless now. Then he remembered the sound. He looked at the direction the sound came from and tensed up again, ready to lash out at anything moving. Then he saw a human running towards him. He relaxed somewhat and waited for the human to come closer. After all, he came here in the first place to get help from them... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: Kaak [Edit] Date Posted: 15:02:16 11/29/01 Thu Author Host/IP: 159-191-40-175.pps.k12.or.us/159.191.40.175 Kaak felt the great carnivore relax with the familiarity of one long accustomed to working with saurians. He dropped his backpack in the snow and walked forward so the tyrannosaur could see him without difficulty. "My name is Kaak," he said, in the blanket version of saurian with as much of a theropod twist as he could manage. He was never the linguist, but tried to put as much of a soothing tone into his voice as he could, slowly stepping toward the rex's leg. "Did you twist it? It doesn't look broken, but you should never have let yourself walk so far on it without help... and you are a lonnng way from home." Trex-rage shot him a look that indicated the great carnivore had caught the chastising tone, but Kaak ignored him and tried to remember what his mother had told him about legs. "Relax, buddy. The village is close, and you can get warm somewhere in one of the barns, with healers to tend you. Can you really not walk, or do you think you can make it?" As he spoke the gentle words, he stepped forward and slowly put a hand on the tyrannosaur's flank, running his hand down the scaled leg and feeling the tensed, brusied and swollen muscles. "I don't know much about you, but I have it on good authority that whenever something's this out of shape, there's a problem." Kaak looked up at the rex, his face creased in a frown. "So tell me, shall I go there," he gestured to to the village. "Or shall we go to gether? I can get help, though it may be mastodons to help support you in the last few meters..." (Trex, do you speak some version of saurian that Kaak would know? Or is it just whatever really carnivorous language you folks in the Basin use, that Kaak would have NO idea how to even attempt. Any sort of cry would definitely send him running for the village ::grin::) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Trex-rage looked at Kaak. He understood everything he said and knew that this was a descent human if any to trust. With a deep breath he prepared to speak the human's language best he could. 'This is going hurt my throat but I must' he thought. " Thaaannnkuuuii..foor oar elllp. Iiiii...mmmussssssssst gett ttooooo nyy...estation...." Trex-rage said the best he could. Kaak seemed taken aback by Trex-rage's sudden ability to speak in the human language. "How do you know how to speak human!" Kaak asked, amazed. "Pllleeeeasssssee, Iiii nussst gettt ttooooo theee villlaagge...." "Oh, of course. I'll be right back with a few mastodons to carry you in. Just stay put, ok." Kaak said. "Uuurrrrrryyy..." Trex-rage replied. With that, Kaak set off for Thermala. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It was already dark, the air frosty and biting at his lungs, but he jogged into the city streets and found a large building, an inn by the looks of it, sitting with the lights on inside and a warm, roaring fire. With his thoughts on the tyrannosaur, he stepped up to the porch and opened the door, stepping into the warm room. He looked around, taking in the various dinosaurs and humans, and other creatures, all enjoying the evening. Lost, he stood there, obviously wondering what to do next, and unable to find anyone who looked like they were in charge. Now for someone to spot him... ((hinthint!!))

Everyone was dropping off to sleep. The two raptors who had joined them, one in human hatchling's clothes were already fast asleep saving energy for the journey, these raptors where an energy sapping system thought Kilo who could walk for miles without tiring. Quickstride the young Gallimimus looked to where Kilo was staring placidly. "He looks in trouble." She said worriedly, snapping up the attention of the other dozing off saurians and humans. Ajzik got up to her feet helping Mathaira up too as Kilo stared the long awkward process in standing himself. Blue eyes and Highsoar shuffled out the way just in time to miss a blow from his tail. Klaw wasn't so lucky. With a THWAP, Kilo's tail that had just swung lazily with no power behind it went straight into Klaw. Mathaira covered her eyes not wanting to see the effects, when she finally re opened them she saw Klaw standing quite happily, in one of his clawed hands was the tip of Kilo's tail, He'd caught it! "Oh, I'm so sorry Klaw! This thing swings like you wouldn't know.. Good catch though." Kilo apologised finally stood up. Klaw nodded, estatic to have done something good. "Yeww avee very armoorrr tale. It do lot of bad iff Klaw adnot caught." Klaw laughed, a peculier hooting sound Kilo joining in with his gurgling chuckle. No one else had noticed the soaking traveler who was still looking about blankly, amased at the amount of creatures in the inn. Even Mack, Kilo's human friend and head waiter of the bar was too busy to notice. Swiftly the group headed towards The man, Quickstride in the lead easily got there first, Followed by Mathaira and Ajzik. Byt the time Kilo arrived the situation had been assesed, Mathaira was already wrapping a warm fur over the man, who now as Kilo could see was quite young. "Kilo, can you lift a Tyrannosaur?" Quickstride asked him nerviously. "I can give it a go, probably not on my own though. How big?" "Full grown." Ajzik replied. "I can elp." Klaw added "Still Klaw, I don't think we'll be enough, we'd need ropes too." "I can get ropes." Blueeyes spoke up. "I passed a ropey-looking store on my way here." Quickstride nodded and the smaller Troodon, amour clinking dashed off out the Inn. "Masatadons." Mathaira said. Highsoar who was getting increasingly more uncomfortable under a roof looked at her quizzically. "We need mammoths to help pull." The young man at this statement nodded happily, he'd be waiting for someone to talk human, not realising that the saurians all knew it well anyway. Suddenly a tall African looking man spoke up from behind the bar. "Kilo, there's a place down the road that's home to a friend of mine and her two mammoth friends." It was Kilo's friend MAck. "Where?" Ajzik replied knowing this area well. Mack was soon babbling away to the Smilodon about directions. "I'll go with Ajzik and get these mammoths, you four betetr start going. Highsoar it might be best if you flew about and kept a pterosaur eye view on our movements, help Blueeyes to find us." Mathaira said. "I was gonna say that." Quickstride said laughing. "Would you like a ride my friend? you look exhausted." Kilo said to the young man in human tounge. He nodded and gratefully climbed abord Kilo seating himself between two shoulder plates, his feet came down beside Kilo's head. In a flash the party was gone. All that remained in the Inn was a big flat piece of fur that they had flattened and two sleeping raptors. Highsoar whistled with joy as he sailed up high into the crisp night air. Mathaira was seated onto Ajzik's braod back as she bounded away down the street. Quickstride had sped ahead with the man. The young man deciding that a ride on a Gallimimus was alot comfier and quicker than trying to not fall off on a lumbering Kilo. Klaw, who was fast enough to keep up with the Galli decided he'd stay and keep Kilo company. Kilo lumbered at his fastest pace, he looked the equivalent to a running cow. Still quite fast but not graceful. Klaw kept up with ease. They followed Quickstride's footprints. A black boulder in the distance soon became larger and started to breathe, as they found themselves face to face with a Tyrannosaurus. Surprisingly Kilo wasn't nervious at all. He knew full well that anything that wanted to take a piece out of him had to ambush him to even get close to getting at him. He knew his size strengh and amour and he used it to his advantage. A glowing yellow eye looked at him, this eye knew the Stegosaur's game too and they shared the joke. Quickstride and the man were quickly assesing the tyrannosaurs situation as blueeyes pelted up to them, sides heaving he dropped roll upon roll of rope infront of Klaw. "Harness. Anyone know how to make a harness?" Blue eyes asked. The man smiled and came over grabbinga rope in one hand he got to work on Kilo contrusting a strong harness that sat in all the right places to make sure it wasn't going to hurt Kilo. Kilo could tell by the mans soothing words and touch that he was a dinosaur kinda human. (OOC: That alright? Lol) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

His tail waved back and forth slowly keeping his balance. Were he could he helped but for the most part he was useless to the humans and saurians. His injury prevented him from being able to help pull and his constant shivering made it very difficult to help with the harness. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Concerned though she was for the tyrannosaur, she was still thinking on the importance of reaching Blackfeather as soon as possible in order to evacuate the imperiled village. She needed to start off in the morning, but was too experienced to hazard doing so after a hard day's climb to Thermala and no sleep in between. She surveyed the scene before her. The only one capable of tying reliable knots was the human, with his opposable thumbs. Diligent though she was, the Troodon warrior was having a hard time of it and despite his enthusiasm to help Klaw was only complicating things by getting in the way and inadvertantly fraying the ropes with his claws. The only one who could pull was Kilo. Quickstride could feel the ground quake rythmically beneath her feet, and a moment later Highsoar swooped from the darkness annoucing the impending arrival of Mathaira, Ajzik and the mastadons. Quickstride decided now was the time to take charge. "All right, there are more people here than we need," she announced. "Klaw, knight, I want you to come back with me to the inn, we're only in the way. Mathaira will be here short- correction, Mathaira IS here-" for the mastadon team had arrived on the scene- "to help tie the knots for the harnesses, and the mastadons can pull. Ajzik can stay as a runner for supplies, and Highsoar as a messenger and arial observer for the time being." Klaw and Blue Eyes protested to being pulled away from the action. Quickstride sympathized with them greatly, but knew it was in everyone's best interest that they depart. "The situation is under control," she said gently. "Our presence can only complicate things. Ajzik or Highsoar will come for us if we are needed. Right now, we will do more good if we rest up for the journey we have ahead of us tomorrow. Now come." With one final longing glance at the activity surrounding the fallen tyrannosaur, and the sad creature itself, the reluctant trio set off into the night to go back to the inn.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: HEAVE!!! Author: Kilo [Edit] Date Posted: 00:17:39 12/03/01 Mon Author Host/IP: 235.b.003.syd.iprimus.net.au/210.50.67.235 "Heave!" Mathaira and Kaak both shouted in Mammalian tounge. Kilo lunged into his harness feeling it pull tight around his forearms and chest, he wasn't pulling he was pushing. Kilo had to hand it to the mastadons though, they had far more muscle and size than him and were pulling more succesfully too. Kilo strained again, in the distance he could see the faint figures of the three departing friends. His tail lashed furiously with momentum, as if powering him to move forwards. Once or twice Mathaira feared he'd slash through the ropes. The big Tyrannosaur groaned behind them as kaak and Mathaira hurridly placed furs under the giant's body to stop snow burn. (he he i made that up)[what can't you tell? lol] Ajzik took over the role of encouraging the three big herbivores as slowely but surely they ploughed through the snow and headed towards the village. The sky was just paleing when finally the party arrived into the village. Kaak hurridly slashed away harnesses so as the exhausted harbivores could drink. Kilo bounded over shaking the ground to the nearest water trough. there he took a long satifiying drink, acompanied by two trunks. The Tyrannosaur who was equally exhausted and ill lay in the town centre, helpers of all kinds had come to his aid and fussed around him. Observers too appeared and watched as for the first time they layed eyes upon a big rainy basin inhabitant. Kilo panted watching as Mathaira and Ajzik approached him, they looked as tired as he was, movements very laboured. "To the Inn." Kilo said in his best heroic voice making the two laugh. they wandered off, Kilo pausing to say great thanks to the two mastadons who had already been thanked many a time by everyone. The warm Inn air swept over Kilo as he entered the familer setting once more. They headed swiftely over to the small group composed of Quickstride, Blueyes, the raptors and Klaw. Even as they spoke a beraggled Skybax shuffeld into the Inn again, it was Highsoar. Kilo went and lay down next to the group. He could feel Ajzik'z warm furry body by his chest and Mathaira near too as his eyelids drooped. His last vison though was of a hyped up raptor in chidlren's clothes asking Quickstride readily when they'd leave. Kilo let out a long sigh and drifeted into a deep sleep. (OOC: If you all go off and leave in the morning, could someone plz leave a trail for us to follow? We'll catch up after a sleep!) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
