Tobias's Perch

[Six]

((What characters? whats not allowed?))

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias relaxes on the rafter he was on.<Where are you guys?>he thought to himself as he ruffles his feathers abit.

[Darth Revan]

((Animorphs. You can create a character, or take control of any Ani character. The only Ani character not free is Tobias.))

[KitsuneMarie]

Marco spilled air from his wings, glided in through the open loft door, and perched on the nearest rafter. Then suddenly realizing a red-tailed hawk who had to be Tobias was directly beside him, he yelled, <Yaaaah!>, lost his footing, and flapped wildly to slow his tumble to the ground. He landed in an ungraceful heap on the hay-strewn floor before getting to his taloned feet and glaring up at Tobias -- not that his osprey eyes were capable of any other expression. <You scared the bejesus out of me, man!> he accused, ruffling his feathers to try to regain some semblance of poise.

[Darth Revan]

Their search came up with nothing. "Shawn, there's no one here."

"I know what I saw. Hell Elayne saw her too. I'm going wolf."

"*sigh* Okay, we'll stow our clothes and backpacks in a burrough."

"Cool."

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias only looked down at Marco,turning his head abit acting as if he was just a normal red-tail hawk that flew inside the barn.

[KitsuneMarie]

Marco gave an internal sigh as the hawk took off again, and then peered around to make sure Cassie's parents were not home before demorphing inside the barn. Once fully human, he slid behind a large pile of hay bales to retrieve some of his clothes he had left there to avoid being stuck only with his morphing outfit if someone who wasn't an Animorph happened to show up. "Tobias?" he called as he emerged, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

EDIT (post Tobias's explanation):

Tobias slowly turned his head down in the direction that you went,watching closely then looked around again.He quickly snapped his head and looked down at you hearing your voice,looking at you with stern and fierce eyes,not saying a word,just looking at you like a normal hawk.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She gave a growl......so I guess so, yeah..........still stuck. It's typical. I made it like an odd trap, it won't let her shift.~~
---------------------------


She clawed and chewed at the trap, but nothing were get her free. She was giving off growls and snarls that scared the nearby wild life away. "C'mon!!!" she cried.

[Darth Revan]

Once wolf, they sniff around the tree Shawn first saw the girl. Shawn asks, <You got her?>

<Yeah, I got her.>

The two follow the scent until it stops.

Jake says, <What the-? It just stopped.>

<No, it didn't stop,> Shawn lifts his nose and continues sniffing, <it changed.>

<'Changed'? What do you mean 'changed'?>

<Smell, there's a transition. The smell path is constant, but the actual smell is different. This way, it's getting stronger.>

<You think she can morph?>

<I don't know how. I thought only you guys had that ability?>

<So did I. The only box we know of was on Elfangor's ship, and we have it.>

<What about the Dome ship?>

<That's miles underwater.>

<Well, hopefully she's got a cool story for us.>

<Yeah. Okay, the scent is really strong now.>

<Yeah, she's not far.>

[Midnight_Huntress]

She gave it one more try at morphing.....only to land back into disappointment. *Aww, why does this always happen to me?* she wondered. She let out a roar of agrivation and then clamped her jaws shut. *You idiot!! Tigers are not common here, you can't roar at will!! Stupid! Stupid!* she chastised herself. She trap had tightened with her struggles and a bit of blood began to smear her paw.

[Darth Revan]

"ROOOOAAARR!"

Shawn and Jake instinctively cringe at the tiger's howl. Shawn yells, <What the hell? Was that a tiger?>

<Tell me that's not what we're tracking.>

<Okay, I'll lie to ya. That's not what we're tracking.>

<Great.>

The two wolves clear a few trees and find a beautiful white tiger trapped by the paw.

<Whoa.>

<You can say that again.>

The two circle the tiger instinctively.

<It's pinned.>

<This is her, right?>

The wolves move around and smell the surrounding area.

<Yeah, that's her.>

Shawn walks up to the tiger, staying out of range of its paws, <I know you're not really a tiger. Who are you?>

[KitsuneMarie]

Marco sat down on a hay bale and stared back at the bird, folding his arms across his chest. "Come on, Tobias. A real hawk would've left by now. A real hawk would've freaked out a little more at an osprey in his territory. Why aren't you talking?"

[Midnight_Huntress]

*Aww, for the love of stars!* she said and rolled her eyes, a very human gesture. *My name is Raksha Keller. No I am not a real Tiger, I shift into one. I am 17 years old I just wandered here for a while. Anything else I can asnwer for you? I get kind of tired of answering the same questions in every toown.* she said. She gave her paw one last tug, growl and then plopped gracefully to the ground and gave up on it.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias softly sighed and looked down at Marco.<Because I just don't feel like it Marco..I don't feel up to do this anymore.>he says looking down to his talons.It was today,one year ago that he had become a nothlit
