Small forest fire at my coordinates, may escalate. Send Phantom's people. Warning, 4 foot rouge in the forest, may cause trouble. *slight pause as she listens to the person on the other side of the conversation* STOP LAUGHING![rand=344978537124412735423809025304568158646183766149368945567589694821]

*now in another tree, glances over to see what Cara is doing* *ProtoMan pauses briefly as he sees just what she does* .. *continues jumping across a few more trees, dropping down from a certain tree, at a certain point... to grab his severed arm and hide again behind the tree, facing toward the trunk so he can peek around it while still keeping his back covered by his Proto Shield* *holding his arm back at his shoulder, where it was cut* .oO (Okay, carefully touch the connections together... Work fast please, auto-repair. We can worry about some details later...) *by now, the fire-waves will have hit what was in their path; probably trees or other foliage* Caracura: *looks up, the look on the undamaged part of her face one of horror as she gazes at the burning trees* .oO(That little-just wait until I get my hands on you!

And I'm not healed enough, yet... Time to sit back and observe for awhile.) ... *sneak-crawls into some nearby shrubbery, taking on an aqua-blue color to blend in more with the leaves* ... *then changes to more of a brown and gray to blend in more with ground, stones, and dying leaves* *holds still, still holding his arm in place*

Caracura: *glances around again, eye narrowing* *closes the panel on her wrist and crawls around on her knees, collecting the two halves of her mask* *glances around again, both warily and wearily before opening a section of her leg and digging around for a bit before pulling out a container and applying the substance within to the break between the two mask halves* *sets the mask aside and puts the container back, pulling out another one shortly after and applying the grey material inside it to her ankle* *puts that back and closes her leg up before standing* *glances around again as the grey turns clear*
*the shadows of the forest begin writhing back and forth like dark flames*
Caracura: *grabs her mask and puts it back on*
*shadows gather into 5 black flame humanoid figures, apparently made out of the shadows they are standing in* *eyes appear on the 'faces' of the shadowy figures*
Caracura: Phantom's Hunters.[rand=3552940526640343521178352861033260829801620302738564665607159965]

Hunter 4: *goes over to Protoman and Hunter 3 are* More then unusual, this one isn't even Rinamian. I thought rogues were deserters and pirates.
Hunter 3: Meh, same thing.
Caracura: *sighs* "Rogue" was the closet term I could think of to quickly describe this one.
Hunter 4: It's just a kid... *leans forward, looking where she guesses Proto's eyes to be* What's your name, pup? You're either stupidly brave or just plain stupid for trying to take on a Pack Leader like that. Why'd you do it, anyway?

Of course, I don't know what they'll do if I don't say anything... *sigh* If only I were still just observing. I guess saying anything they may react poorly to is a bad idea when they both outnumber me and have me pinned... She did say she wants me alive, but then what do I do about getting away later? They just had to be good at hide-and-seek...)

4: Nothing.
3: So what do we do? *glances at Caracura* The usual, or what?
4: *sniffs at Proto* Doesn't smell like Sermek. *licks his cheek* Doesn't taste like Sermek either.

I can't very well teach a respect for trees anyway. 4: Uh 1,2,3,5,: Yes, ma'm. Caracura: It is decided then. *teleports out* 4: Well this sucks. *pokes Proto* You got name, little buddy? *pulls away as #4 licks him* *had there not been a warp in the space-time continuum preventing him from reacting at that time, he would have given #4 a headbutt* ...

((You could just ask, don't have to be rude about it. I've edited the other stuff out so Proto can headbutt 4 =p)) ((Sorry about that. I actually wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to ask you to change it, for the sake of time and such. The continuum thing actually is kind of plausible when you consider that this is the Taco... One thing I plain didn't think to ask, though: I understand that it's often recommended to do longer posts because it gives the other RPer more to go off of, but do you think that you could consider if an action might provoke a strong, immediate response that may strongly effect the one doing said action? Would you, please? Hmm... Or do you think maybe it would be better if I cut off later parts of a post in my quotes and just end it at the thing that's being, well, interjected to? I mean, I guess we're having enough trouble as it is with behavioral differences, so there's a very good chance something will slip through even if we are careful. It could look something like this...)) *continues holding still* .oO (Should I say something? If she's a leader, I'd hate to see how they react.

But yeah, response that doubles as an example and a question. Please let me know what you think.))

((I do try, I was just in a rush when I wrote the post. Interjections like that may work, then the other person can quote it and change the actions that occur after it accordingly.))
4: *drops to her knees, clutching at her face* nnnn >_< what was that even for?!
3: *gives a bark of laughter* The pup's got spirit.
Caracura: *lightly rubs her mask* It would do you well to remember that licking someone's face is only socially acceptable in your Pack.
4: *whines, still rubbing her face*
Caracura: I was thinking a reversal of the usual might be in order. You take the robot. When you think they are ready, send them to me. I can't very well teach a respect for trees anyway.
4: Uh
1,2,3,5,: Yes, ma'm.
Caracura: It is decided then. *teleports out*
4: This sucks. You think she heard about what's-her-face was saying about the Caracura Pack?
3: I don't know. What I do know is we're apparently stuck baby-sitting this twerp. *prods Proto*

((How about we PM interjections?))
3: *retracts her hand*
2: *mock surprise* It speaks!
1: Orders are orders. Even if Caracura is the Leader of a different Pack, we still have to obey her.
4: *standing up* You didn't answer my questions. But you know what, I don't want you too. We're going to take you to the Boss and be rid of you.
3: Oooh, you're on her bad side.
4: *shoots 3 a glare*
