In an amazing, super-theropodic display of agility, the dinosaur somehow manages to twist, dodge, and block its way through the entirety of Dru-Head's assault. The SnapHydra, however, catches it right in the nose, giving it a small singe-mark. In a rage, it continues its assault, directing its attacks against three of the heads next to it.
Mo, unable to get a clear shot at the dinosaur still standing through the mass of heads attacking it, interprets Tomorbataar's shouting, and chucks another rock at the dead dino. It strikes the dead beast square in the back of the head.
"Me good shot!" Mo proclaims.
Ahah! Good throw. Tomorbataar says, nodding at Mo and then swinging back around towards the still living assailant, swinging his head in somewhat wider arcs than usual, as he is considerably upset.
"Ow ow ow! You'll pay, you meanies!"
Ziphora tries to gore it with her lightning horns.
Between Tomorbataar's pummeling and Ziphora's lightning, the remaining beast collapses to the ground, unconscious, though still alive.
Noticing that Blockhead appears to be held together mostly by anger and a great deal of luck, Hothead gives the other head a few gentle pokes infused with positive energy. "There, that should keep you up and running! For a while, at least,"
The bloodloss finally reaches his head and he swoons from the lightheadedness and falls to the ground (almost wrapped around the Raptorbunny) his strength spent. Then the blue Hydrahead pokes him a bit and new life flows into Blockhead, which was a good thing, there wasnt much left in there :p
Rising a bit, Blockhead realizes that his Raptorbunny is subdued and snoozing cutely within the crook of his neck. Gently he picks it up and places it on their shared back, and wraps around it to hold it in place.
Groan... Well done guys! We gots him! Ima... Ima...ima take a rest...
Blockhead curls up around the large Raptorbunny on the ground as much as his neck will allow him and takes a few minutes/moments to rest (however long he gets).
Dru-head starts to consume the whole raptorbunny.
*crunch* Thanks Hothead. *chew* Nice good *munch* touch.
"That's Blockhead's raptorbunny. How could you even think of doing something like that!" Ziphora gives Dru-head a look of hurt and disgust. "Blockhead would have wanted to keep him as a pet!"She continues mournfully. "You make me sick, behaving like animals!" She scolds Dru-head.
Fine, Ill cook it first, it's not that big a deal.No-one cared when I didnt cook my balsa. Dru-head entirely missing the point, deigns to wait to finish the dino, and find some firewood.
Dru-head votes to gather firewood to cook with.
Yes, cooking would be a good idea, Tomorbataar says, trying to make keep his voice from cracking, but first we must find some towels. That...corpse...nearly threw up on me!
"That's not the point, point is Raptorbunny is supposed to be Blockheads pet, and no one eats their pets! Pets are meant to be cuddled and hugged and taken care off!" Ziphora yells.
Mo thinks really hard, then walks over towards Tomorbataar, holding up part of the smelly furs he wears. "Not towel, but I help!"
Rorl warily walks back onto the road from where he'd hidden in the underbrush on the other side. "I'll... wait until you're ready to go on," he says.
"W-What? Cook it?" Hothead stammers, recoiling away from Dru-head. "Are you out of your mind? Why would we ruin perfectly good food, in an extremely dangerous manner like that to boot? Nonsense!" he shouts. "If you want to eat then eat, but we have better things to do than play with food irresponsibly and accidentally start a forest fire and burn the whole forest down and burn ourselves down and die painful fiery deaths and go to whereever arsonist go after death and die painful fiery deaths " feeling dizzy from lack of oxygen, Hothead takes a moment to gasp for air. "Let's -wheeze- just go -wheeze- meet with the lizardfolk, all right? -wheeze- We wouldn't want to be late and give a bad first impression, would we?" he says in a pleading voice.
Hothead votes to get going before Dru-head kills everyone.
Blockhead remains curled around the leg of the Raptorbunny, seemingly oblivious to the antics and conversations of the others.
"Chill there, Newhead. Fire isn't all THAT bad. I've done a bit of cooking and I'm not too bad at it."Ziphora continues. "But we're not eating Blockhead's raptorbunnies. Lets go find some plants to munch."
Ziphora votes to find some plants so they can become vegetarian hydras.
Tomorbataar considers the furs for a moment, his newfound respect for Mo suddenly dwindling. He moves his head forward slowly, inhaling through his nostrils, and then coughing violently. No, no uh, I do not think that will be necissary. Perhaps you could grab a suitable slice of meat instead.
And I wouldn't worry, Hothead, Dru's started ones of fires before, he's got lots of experience. Perhaps you'd like to set it instead? It's not really good yet, it needs to get all the juice out first, good and tough before we can eat it.
I can assure you, Zip, these don't talk. Tomorbataar says, snapping his head forward in an attempt to get dinosaur saliva off.
Tomorbataar votes to stick around and have lunch before continuing.
Ziphora gives a long-suffering sigh. "It's not that they don't talk, it's Blockhead wanted them as pets. We're one big family so we should try to compromise."
*raspberry* No-one care's I don't like seeing the forest cut down by the humans. I don't care about pet's we'd hafta feed. Forest for the tree's I say.
"The humans are nice people, they've been giving us presents. And scrolls to read." Ziphora is quick to jump to the humans defense. "If being hungry had turned you into such a grouch, eat the dead one over there. I don't think you can do him more harm then we have already."Ziphora snaps.
"Oh..." Mo looked genuinely disappointed, but then perked up. "I help with firewood!"
He goes charging off, gathering sticks from the ground. Behind you Rorl sighs.
"I'll start chopping some meat off of the dead one," he states, walking towards the dead dinosaur.
...Wait... What side am I volunteering for? :?
Blockhead looks up as he realizes that Dru is eating his favorite Raptorbunny and tries to chase him off by taking a little nip at him (as an AoO).
Eyy! Leave Rappy alone! Go eat his brother over there!
...Actually, Ima kinda hungry too... Rappy wouldnt mind much if I eat his sibling much would he?
Blockhead starts to help out with the fire by breaking down some of the bigger logs into smaller kindling.
Blockhead's teeth don't manage to penetrate his sibling-head's scales.
Now that Blockhead has consented to eating the other raptorbunny, Ziohora settles down, waits for Mo to return with the firewood and get a fire going, then begins to cook the raptor bunny.
Eventually, between Mo and Rorl working and you eventually lumbering over to the other dinosaur, you get yourselves well-fed. About as you finish eating, while Mo and Rorl are working on packing some meat for the road, the other dinosaur starts to stir.
Tomorbataar leans real close to the fire, trying to sterilize himself, though he is completely dry by this point. Well Blockhead, he's all yours. In a servile capacity, naturally, and beware of giving him too much agency, or he'll just rebel and poison our food. Tomorbataar says these last words suspiciously.
I suppose we should be off then, off to see the lizards.
Tomorbataar votes to get going as soon as possible.
"Here Mo, want to try some Raptorbunny? It's good and there's more then enough for us all. You too, Rorl! Come join in the feast!" Ziphora calls out cheerfully as she munches into the raptorbunny just to show how good it is.
"Urm Blockhead...his brother is waking up...its up to you now." Ziphora edges away from the waking dinosaur nervously.
The Lizards of a sod...den. Place. Having a pet is a big responsibility blockhead. . You need to feed it and take care of it.
Dru-head elects not to fight his bro-head at the challenge.
Dru-head votes to see how this dinosaur thing plays out. He's also totally in head form now and I wasn't accidentally giving him the ability to talk in animal form.
Hungry stares intently at the "raptorbunny" that isn't Blocky's and unleashes 7 waves of negative energy aimed at the body.
He stares at the body intently waiting for a reaction.
Hungry fazed out for many a minute until he smelled cooked foods and dug in completely on instinct before he realized what he was doing. Mid bite, AW NO! SONE OF A DONKEY HERDER! I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING WITH THIS THING BEFORE WE ATE IT!" Hungry droops sadly but none the less continues eating, but with less gusto than any of you have ever seen.
Mo carefully pretends that he hadn't already been sneaking pieces of the dinosaur while helping. "Thanks!" He says, smiling widely as he now openly takes a big piece.
Rorl looks rather doubtfully at a dino steak, but after cooking it and trying it he seems much more okay with it.
(Oh, and Ziphora's cooking was again pretty good XD)
Hungry's attempts at animating the dinosaur are, sadly (for him), a dismal failure. It doesn't so much as twitch.
"Drat! I was hopeing that would do at least something. Maybe if I concentrate the energy more..." Hungry goes off into thought as he begins to nibble at the body.
Hothead has to face the facts: his confused ranting calm and reasonable rhetoric failed to intimidate into obedience sway the hearts of his fellow heads. Now he can't do anything but stare at the others with a disgusted look on his face and muttering to himself in a low ranting voice.
"Utter lunatics all of them why would they ruin good food like that they'll be the end of me one day why am I even hanging out with them oh wait because I am connected to them by my neck how wonderful I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes."
"Hey Newhead! Have you tried my specialty, roasted raptorbunny?"Ziphora calls out cheerfully. "Its good! I'm going to become the bestest chef in the world!" Ziphora proclaims proudly.
Ziphora votes to move on to the lizard meet after Blockhead does what he needs to do with the other raptorbunny
Blockhead notices that his favorite Raptorbunny (Named George) is stirring and he immediately starts to fear for it (You think he could trust his brothers with a hunk of meat??? )
He instantly goes over to his side and starts to lick his wounds in an attempt to calm the dino and to ease his pain even just a little bit when he wakes up.
When George actually wakes up Blockhead attempts to lay his neck on to the side of his head and gently (but firmly) press down.
He also begins to cooo to the Raptorbunny, singing a (what he thinks) is a lullaby.
Purrr. Purr. Growl. Mroaaarrr!!! Growl....
The allosaurus snaps awake, lurches to its feet, and starts running away as fast as it can.
"That didn't go so well."Ziphora observes with clinical detachment. "I suggest next time you use a leash." She informs Blockhead, but makes no attempt to attack George.
Hungry catching the blur out of the corner of his eyes, "Another test subject!!!"
Quick, he attacked the thing! Nag him! Dru-head enthusiastically snarks before going back to his food.
"Oh yeah!" Ziphora thumps The Hungry One angrily. "What'ya doing that for. He's just trying to get away and won't do us any harm!"
As the Dinosaur stumbles up and begins to run, Tomorbataar is just swallowing a bite of surprisingly well cooked food, thank's Ziphora, perhaps you should be our chef?
Then he notices that the large toothy animal doesn't seem to be responding to Blockhead at all, and reaches towards it, wrapping a head around it's leg and attempting to bring it down.
Tomorbataar votes to wait a bit while Blockhead gets control of his underling.
Blockhead presses firmly down on the Alosaurus's head but immedeately feels the creature lurch out from under him (not that he had any hope of keeping it down) and then take off... trailing fireworks as he went...
They do that? Awww, my poor Goerge is going to be all alone in the world :,(
Sigh... I hope he finds a happy life... what were we doing again? Oh ya, lizardfolk... lets... go.
Blockhead seems significantly upset to see his pet leave and so he returns to his task with a detached and morose tone.
"Aww, Blockhead, don't look so sad."Ziphora nuzzles Blockhead as she tries to console him. "I don't think Raptor bunnies make good pets. Why don't I ask the humans to get you a puppy instead?"
