Meerkat Grounds ~A Meerkat RP~

“This isn’t over, Tiny!” Acorn said, shoving her back.
“We must force them out. Fight them, teach them a lesson. Show them what happens to intruders on Mwindaji Mwepesi territory.”
She went up to through the top of the den.

"I don't think they're approaching us," Said Skye, squinting at the meerkats in the distance. "What mob are they from? Maybe Mgonjwa? I think they're heading that way."


Tiny waited a moment for Acorn to exit, then easily squeezed out of a small hole on the other side of the burrow. She hoped she hadn't been seen. She would be in even bigger trouble. Her plan was to find out what the other meerkats were doing, perhaps follow them, than go back to the burrow like she had been there all that time. She hoped Rose wouldn't count the pups again and tell Acorn that she was missing. But she would only be gone a short time... surely no one would notice.

She prowled, quietly as the day of the crocodile, around the burrow, then made a run for the meerkats in the distance. She sprinted as fast as her little legs could carry her to a thick canopy of dried bushes, and caught her breath there for a moment. She didn't look back. She wouldn't dare. If Acorn saw her... she didn't even know what would happen. She didn't want to cause trouble- didn't want to keep making her mob keep having to search for her- she just wanted to have some fun, discover new things.

Finally, Tiny shook herself and kept running.

Rose popped up out of the burrow. “Can I come?” She asked excitedly. “Cody’s agreed to watch the pups.” Of course. Cody hadn’t actually agreed, but he was asleep in the burrow with all the pups and probably wouldn’t leave them alone when he woke up.. right?

“Of course not,” said Acorn. “Cody ought to come with us. Get Cody. You stay here with the pups.”
“Go up there with the other sentinels and ask them what they want,” Acorn told Cody.

“Go up there with the other sentinels and ask them what they want,” Acorn told Cody.

"Wait," Chestnut suddenly poked her head out of the burrow. "I'll watch the pups. Why don't you let Rose go?" She suggested, still thinking Rose was angry at her from the night before. Of course, she didn't want to watch the young, but she wanted to feel like she could at least talk to Rose again.

“Fine,” Chesnut said, waving her paw. She didn’t know why Rose was so eager to meet her enemy, but if she reeeally wanted to.
“You better not get hurt,” she growled to Rose. “I don’t want to have to rescue you.”

"I should come, right?" Skye asked, talking fast. "Or- no, wait, or should I make sure they don't come to the burrow? Wait, how are we going to fight them? Like, we're not going to, like... injure them that badly, right?" He looked up, staring at the other faraway meerkats.

“Yes we are,” said Acorn. “Just like I did to Sandy.” The damage Acorn had inflicted upon the previous mob leader was well known by all but the youngest Mwindaji Mwepesi (one of these days I won’t have to go back to figure out how to spell it.)
Sandy’s eye had been totally destroyed. Her ears were torn. Acorn’s long claws left deep scratches on her throat. It couldn’t be told whether she would survive when Acorn forced her away, bleeding and one-eyed, to walk alone at the mercy of the terrible African savannah.
Acorn had looked beautiful that day. Glorious. She fought athletically and she’d fought bravely. With her powerful claws, acute fangs, keen reflexes, and mighty sinews she toppled Mamba’s regime and started her own.
(Wow, turkey Acorn would never resort to such aggression, geez.)
With her roundish, pregnant belly Acorn posed a less intimidating figure, but muscles still rippled in her powerful shoulders. She hadn’t lost her edge, or at least, not much of it.
“But only if they try fighting back.”

Skye winced as she said Sandy's name and looked up at the rising sun, not wanting to even glance at the Kuku mob and think about what he might be doing to them in just a moment. Skye hated violence, but he had to obey Acorn's every command, or else... he shook his head vigorously, forcing his brain to move on to a different train of thought. Please don't fight back, please don't fight back.
He hoped they wouldn't. He really, really did. He hoped he and Acorn would sit at the entrance of the burrow long enough for them to pass. To Skye, at least, it didn't look like they cared about Mwindaji Mwepesi right now. It seemed like they were going a different direction.
Maybe I can try stalling Acorn.
He knew, right as he thought it, that it was a terrible idea. From what Skye had seen of her, she didn't seem like one to be stalled. But maybe it was worth a shot.

He looked around, rubbing his eyes from looking at the bright sun for so long. But what would even cause a distraction? He looked down, hopeless.
"Do I- do I have to fight?" He asked, his tone slower and more emotionless than he usually talked. "Can I... stay behind?" He knew what the answer would be. But he had to try.

Rose glanced at Chestnut, surprised. As she walked past her fellow pup-sitter, she leaned towards her. “Thanks, I owe you one.”

“Fine,” Chesnut said, waving her paw. She didn’t know why Rose was so eager to meet her enemy, but if she reeeally wanted to.
“You better not get hurt,” she growled to Rose. “I don’t want to have to rescue you.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Rose said. What she didn’t know was that she definitely going to get hurt if the fighting got serious. Other than light sparring with her siblings, Rose hadn’t been in a real fight.

Before making a character, do you know what ranks are and aren't available??)
