[ORP - Game] Motoujamii Man-hunt

[I Lady Kiya I]

"We should also give ourselves a name." He decided, in case their roars didn't work. I mean, who knew what other lions were going to signal each other with a roar? It was best to come up with a name to add to the roar. "That we can shout in the roar." he added "So we'll know it's us" He continued.

He nodded with the plan. Everything was going to work out nicely, he thought. They would become the best team possible. At least, that was what he was intending. If not, he was going to be quite disappointed, but he would accept any outcome. Perhaps these two weren't all that bad at all. He needed friends, after all.

Once we're all settled, we should split up and waste no more time. Don't want someone to find her while we're discussing"

This is a new number to find Lumatha. Feel free to talk to her if you find her! She'll be staying put until found again.

With another smile for the white lioness who'd found her, Lumatha began walking away from Pahar. They'd see each other again later, she knew. Who knew how long it would take someone to find their daughter?

After all, Lumatha had taught Agni herself as a cub. If she didn't want to be found, well, it would be interesting to see how long this game went on. Still, she was very proud of her daughter for becoming one of the new Regents. It was good to see their ancestral Firekin blood being acknowledged.  

[SilverLutz]

The agreement to his idea made Menkar grin a bit wider, but he nodded in agreement with Chante-peta. Roars would certainly be used by other teams as they would carry the farthest, but a little name they could call out easily would help as well.

"How about Tatu?" he suggested, going with a simple name. "Since there are three of us," he added in case the meaning was lost. "Simple, short, easy to shout along with a roar?" He agreed that they needed to finish chatting so they could spread out to look - it seemed others were starting to join in and he didn't want them to be left behind.

[OOC: Tatu is 'three' in swahili XD He's so original]

Alya shrugged, but the smile remained on her face. She didn't have any particular care for what their name was, but it was a good idea to make their roars something that would catch the attention of the other group members. "That sounds fine enough," she said to the other two. Her tail swished behind her a few times before it settled, curled around her back leg. "We should split up now, then. You're right, it's been enough time chattering. We should get back to it."

She was pleased. They both had presented good ideas and seemed worthy teammates in this endeavor. Not that she had any doubts, but the reaffirmation made her confidence in them grow.

He nodded. It was decided! He was pleased with how fast they had settled things, now it was time to get the real work down. With that, he waited for the other two to pick their directions before picking his. The more ground they covered, the better.

Depending how their team did, might change his thoughts of being a more of a team player.

"Great!" Menkar said with a grin. "All right. Hopefully see you all soon," he said, tossing a wink at the two before turning to head off. He nearly walked right into another lioness that had popped up behind him.

"Whoops! Sorry," he said, flashing her a grin as well before pressing on his way. Where to look next....  

[Meepfur]

((No ticket for me, plz. <3))

Tim-timana was not amused, but then again, she never was. She was all but incapable of being anything other than serious, and as such, she wasn't entirely certain how she felt about this little game. Was this really a productive exercise, a valid test of skill? It seemed more like a glorified cub's pastime than an accurate measure of worthiness, and so she was innately inclined to be less than enthusiastic about participating; on the other paw, she wouldn't want to not participate, which would be slothful.

And so, once the rules had been explained, she had trudged dutifully off to see what or who - if anything - she could find. The Barracks seemed as likely a place as any, and weren't all that far from the starting point, so she began there. A quick look in, however, revealed nothing more than two males also participating in the search. The soldier acknowledged them with a terse nod, but said nothing. Chattiness, like humor, was a character trait she not only did not possess, but disliked.

Red eyes scanned the area, nostrils flared to take in scents, but it seemed obvious that the Regent was not here, or else the two searchers who'd arrived before her would have at the very least found some clue, if not Agni-pariksha herself. That, or she was extremely clever or stealthy, but Tim-timana's bet was fully on her simply being somewhere else.  

[Meepfur]

Psyche was deeply anxious about participating in this game to hunt down one of the new Regents, anxious in general about being back in the desert. About being home. From the moment she'd left, she'd wanted nothing more than to return, and when word had spread that some varieties of Huria would now be acceptable, she'd rushed back. In truth, she hadn't been at all certain that she would be acceptable, but she'd had to try, just in case. Despite her doubts, however, she'd been allowed back, and at first, her heart had soared, but twinges of nervousness had plagued her since, a self-consciousness in the presence of those who were more traditionally-colored.

She felt vaguely out of place still, particularly in large groups, but she refused to let the doubts rule her. She had purposely forced herself to come out and participate, knowing full well that she would be uncomfortable, but she would not hide. She was Firekin and a guard, dammit. That didn't stop her from fidgeting all the way through hearing the rules, but she was here and she was going to do this.

It seemed unlikely that the Regent would be within the starting area or anywhere nearby (or maybe she was, to throw people off?), but Psyche decided to move with her first instinct, which was to go to one of the farther possibilities, and made her way to the Training Grounds, but...nope. It seemed a few others had had the same idea, and had arrived before her. She watched for a moment, scuffing at the sand with her paws, then set to looking over the area; it seemed doubtful that Agni-pariksha was here, if they hadn't found her, but it was better to look busy than awkwardly stand about. Once they'd all left, she would go on her way again.  

[Mogami]

It was hard to resist a game when so many were playing. Baise joined in with a perpetual grin adorning her expression, bright eyes happily taking in all the sights around her. Her search lead her to the Training Grounds but there was no sign of the Regent there.

"Hey, has anyone seen her yet?" she asked two sparring lions as soon as they'd finished their mock duel.

The sun was strong but her pale color was a definite advantage during the day as she could barely feel the heat. She shook the sand off her coat and looked around again. Surely, Agni-pariksha wouldn't be hiding...

Violet eyes traveled through the Training Grounds one more time before the white lioness turned to leave.  

[Excited Apathy]

Mkazo had twofold reason to be here. As a Watcher, he was expected to be adept at seeking those that thought themselves hidden. As the Guard he supposedly was, he should be interested in the potential for advancement. Either way, it was a means to continue proving himself. He started with the logical place, the Hongshan Quarter. The Regent was not immediately apparent, but he hadn't thought she would be. He'd keep looking.

(I really need to get him re-certed...)  

[Meepfur]

Tim-timana hadn't lingered long in the Barracks; after a cursory look, she'd turned on her heel and left. Perhaps Agni-pariksha hadn't stayed close, but gone to the edges of the search area. Looking about for clues as she went, she had trekked out to the pridal oasis. It would be a good place to hide, she surmised, and if the Regent wasn't there, well, she was a bit thirsty.

There were a few others there, not active searchers as far as she could tell, but resting or getting a drink. No sign of the Regent, though. Tim-timana resisted the urge to grumble to herself and went to have a better look around so as not to miss anything.  

[Meepfur]

Once she felt she'd looked sufficently busy for a sufficient amount of time, Psyche padded away from the Training Grounds, having decided that she might as well try the oasis next. It wasn't far to go, so it was worth a try.

Upon arriving, she observed at least one other searcher nosing around the area, and so she went to the oppoaite end of the oasis to begin her own search.

...which turned up a lioness of the correct color, but not the correct lioness. "Oh, hello," Psyche greeted her, blinking. "You are...not the Regent."

While she wasn't as serious a participant as some, she had to admit to a touch of disappointment.

Well, finding the lioness had been interesting. But Eish was seeking the Regent, not the Regent's mother. Or father, who had ended up being surprisingly close by. She would have to look harder.

The white lioness stood still, puzzling over where Agni-pariksha could be. Instead of moving on, she watched the wind carry the sand away. Perhaps the movements would inspire her as to where to look next.
