Team Tembo: Day Two

[sparednothing]

[Things are far from calm today. At the break of morning, the camp is in utter chaos. Someone has let the dinosaurs escape, and giant herbivores are charging around the camp in sheer panic. The cage the baby Rex was in is open, the infant mysteriously missing. It seems Tembo hasn't returned from his hunting trip yet, better do something about these dinosaurs]

[Who knew this was a stupid idea the moment she arrived in the camp? That's right. This kid. Though she'd feel much safe if her sylladex was working. Never has Jane been more in want of a giant fork.

She hadn't slept well with the knowledge of dangerous creatures right outside, and once she hears things happening, well, she can't not look, right?

If the stampede didn't wake you up, Jane's initial panicked screams hopefully did. Here's hoping that doesn't attract the attention of something just as scared and many times bigger than she is!]

[sparednothing]

[It sure does, one of the stegosauruses is charging around, absolutely panic stricken, it veers off towards Jane at the sound of her screams.

HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THIS PLACE?]

npc please

[both_neither]

[Gren rolls out of bed at the first sign of trouble and his rifle is already in his hands. He's not sure if he should shoot these things, but he's prepared to if they get violent.

First order of business, wake Vicious if he isn't up already. Second order of business, get this under control.]

Everybody get up! Get ropes and tranquilizers!

[He draws a pistol loaded with darts and moves into camp. The rifle is tempting, but he figures it's more likely to spook them than do any real good.]

[sparednothing]

[A triceratops is already pretty darn spooked, roaring, it's charging in Gren's direction, tossing its head full of those long, dangerous looking horns]

[waterproofed]

[Percy didn't take a gun since he doesn't really like them. Being shot at kind of ruins guns for you. But he is going to try wrangling these guys anyway. He doesn't have his demigod strength but hey, he can work around that. Just imagine the trikes as bulls and he'll be okay]

[delincuente]

Dude!

[She already has her arm on his elbow before she sees his face and realizes who he is. Okay yeah, maybe Percy could handle one of these things considerably better than her, but that doesn't change the fact that holy fucking shit it's a dinosaur. Nearly dropping the gun held clumsily in her other hand, she freezes next to him for a moment.]

Are you trying to get your head knocked off?

[ensorceler]

[ By now Anne has acquired a solid change of clothes, a blue hoodie, camo trousers, and combat boots, her hair wrapped back in a braided bun to keep out of her face. She has yet to let go of her small rifle, especially in all this chaos. It's just a good thing she is not randomly firing every which way, okay, but Anne is too injured to be able to run properly, so there is still some panic on her end.

So this is Anne kind of just trying to hobble and dash in between the stampeding beasts, unable to really cross over to any sort of clearing safely on her own. She can't help but scream in both frustration and fear, and eventually...she is going to fire on a dinosaur if it's about to mow her over, there is just no helping it. ]

[workaphilic]

[Sherlock, for one, is not shy about firing on any of them. They're scared, sure, running on instinct, okay, but if it's between them and him he's not going pull punches. Or, in this case, rounds.

Which is why, when Anne finally needs to fire, there's an extra spray of ammunition to back her up. Less the arrival of the cavalry, and more begrudging teamwork from someone also in the wrong place at the wrong time.]

[last_rat_standing]

[Bond woke up the instant he heard the dinosaurs moving. A stampede. Wonderful. With these tents everyone will be flattened if they don't move. He grabs his weaponry and dashes out of his own tent, looking around to survey the damage that'd been already been done.

He steps out of the way as a dinosaur crashes past him into the forest.]

Bloody...

[Slinging the rifle over his shoulder he draws his pistols and runs further into the camp to find out what the bloody hell happened!]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara was just trying to maintain order, commanding some of the no-names in the camp to try and capture and cage as much of the dinosaurs they could. She's clearly panicking internally, since she's supposed to be in charge for now, and this happened, but she managed to steel herself to grab a tranquilizer gun that she's now holding in her hands.]

[deltacain]

[There's someone else jogging towards the commotion, loading his own pistols deftly as he runs, glancing across at Bond and giving the man a nod.

That's all.

They want to wake him up with a stampede? So be it. He won't be responsible for his actions.]

Npc please

[kungfuwitch]

[Great. JUST great! Phoebe yelps in surprise, leaping out of the way of a charging dino. Now more than ever she missed her levitation powers... not that it'd work right now anyway but that's besides the point!

She whirls around, looking for anyone who might need help getting to safety. She's less worried about herself than she is about everyone else.]

[sparednothing]

[There's a Triceratops heading her way, shaking its head, trying to clear a path for itself as it charges around. It slams into one of the smaller cages, sending it careering in her direction]

[lord_wizard]

[Maybe if Felix had his magic he could DO something about this situation, but he doesn't. What he does have is a complete lack of any knowledge of firearms and a brother with a seriously cribbed walking speed. As such, his concern is for getting the both of them out of the way, even if he has to carry Mildmay to do it. It hasn't gotten to that point yet, thankfully]

We have to get out of here...

[bro_codebreaker]

You don't have to tell me twice. C'mon, let's find someone who can drive a truck ...

[yes. yes, the modern guy can't drive. what of it?]

npc please!

[originalcopy]

[Are you kidding? He was at the other end of camp for just a couple of minutes as he walked the perimeter of the camp. Now all hell was breaking loose. And by 'all hell' he meant the dinosaurs.]

God Damn It!

((ooc: He and South may have been taunting one of the hadrosaurs earlier. I wouldn't blame it if it still had a grudge))

[sparednothing]

[One thing the science books never tell you is that dinosaurs are vengeful little fuckers. A hadrosaur is running in North's direction, roaring.

HE REMEMBERS YOU]

[[pretend this is a hadrosaurus 15 icons is not enough]]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara stepped out of the armory tent, with a tranquilizer gun to put the lizards back to sleep. Her rifle is on her back, so she won't be on fighting mode until she ditches the tranq gun. But right now, her priority is to put as much dinos back in their cages and minimize the damage they're causing]

[chenwho]

[Terry, meanwhile, is penned in by rampaging dinosaurs. He's clutching his arm, a nasty gash on it from his last escape attempt when he got too close to a Stegosaurus' tail.

He's a bit trapped.]

TEMBO

[collectmyfee]

[Tembo comes running in, in time to see the last of the free dinosaurs race off into the jungle]

GOD DAMNIT.

[Still, he has other things to worry about, he's been tracking Pappa]

We need to move out, and now. The adult Rexes have changed their territory. You need to get to the riverbed and fast. Anyone who's not injured? I need to you follow me, the idiots who let these animals out are about to get themselves killed.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara was standing some distance away. She runs her hand on her hair and sighed... Well, at least no one died. But the dinosaurs escaped. She loads another magazine in her gun, but rolled her eyes when she sees it's too damaged...]

Figures.

[fanstheflame]

[Gale looks up from the gun he was loading - thankfully helping Katniss run the shooting range has taught him just enough about them to be effective]

I'll go with you. I've got friends over there.

[princelyspirit]

What the he-

[She cuts herself off with a yelp as one of the dinosaurs charges in her direction, and she jumps off to the side, just barely dodging out of its way. Just what the hell is going on around here?! She skids to a halt, scanning the situation around her, and quickly comes up with a four step plan: 1) Dodge dinosaurs. 2) Grab anyone who's about to get squished by dinosaurs. 3) Grab weapons. 4) Don't die

...strategy was never her strong suit, but hey, it'll have to do for now]

[assassino]

[And there's Ezio, being his usual crazy self. He's just rolled out of bed in just his pants, a rifle slung by a strap over each shoulder, and he's got a machete in one hand and a handgun in the other. He's like some sort of Renaissance-style Rambo, his long hair undone because honestly, who has time to tie it back when there are dinosaurs on the rampage?]

Utena!

[He moves up beside her, and he puts his arm around her to guide her against the side of a truck for cover.]

Are you ready for your first lesson in the field?

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss had come out of her and Bond's tent a moment later, after throwing on a cami and her camo pants. She eyed the mass of dinosaurs stamping around - and frowned as she watched them charge just about everywhere out of fear.]

[Herding animals in a panic ... well. Time to play a trick she and Gale worked on together. Scare the rabbits.]

[So she didn't shoot at the dinosaurs - but in the air - and letting out a bloodthirsty yell - trying to get them to change direction out to the open jungle beyond. Herding the damned things out to run their panic away from the much squishier humans.]

[kid_apocalypse]

[While secretly happy that someone had had the good sense to let the dinosaurs go, it doesn't stop Evan from being annoyed that they were stampeding all over the place, causing him to have to put his Danger Room training into use, ducking and diving and rolling out of the way of limbs and tails and everything else.]

Who woulda thought that combat training would come in handy for dodging dinosaurs? Heh.
