The predator and the prey

[Sigurd]

A water rat stood in plain view, building a raft. With this he could head out to the ocean, become a searat, and start a new life. Little did he know he was being watched. The rat stared at his newly made raft, but with no sail, now where was he going to get a sail. Suddenly the dark black blob in the water that the rat failed to notice pounced.

Torks stood on his new raft, staring admiringly at his new boat and sail, made of water rat pelt. The rat's bones had been thrown into the water below. Now it was Torks and the Dingybottom, his newly obtained raft... or so he thought.

[Zed(Nel Zellphyer)]

Zed stumbled from some trees in wood and staggered into the water. He appeared from under the Dingybottom and ran his little head straight through the raft, popping up near Torks and muttering to himself about what a silly little mouse he was. He climbed through, breaking the Dingybottom more, and realizing he just smashed a raft. "Oh, oh dear! I apologize to you, who've built this raft!" He looked at Torks feet before backing up quickly,stumbling back onto land... "Oh...Oh no, no no no! Ra..rat?!" He sputtered

(Um Torks is an otter who seeks revenge on water rats)


The crazed otter looked at the small beast emerging from the raft. It was either a large shrew, a mouse, or a small rat. Maybe even a water rat. He wasn't any of Torks' old slavers, but didn't have to be. The last rat was skinny, all skin and bone, no meat. The small rat was muttering to himself, and backing off from the raft. He wasn't an expierenced fighter, he could tell by ther way staggered back from fear. Grinning Torks showed his razor sharp teeth.

Torks moved at the speed of light, grabbing the small rat by his leg. Soon they were face to face. "So ye broke Dingybottom, ye stupid rat, well I'll be nice and invite you for dinner, guess what I'mmm having, You! Rat!" Torks opened his mouth showing his razor sharp teeth.

[Zed(Nel Zellphyer)]

Zed whimpers slightly, before looking at the otter's tail and realizing that he had something worse than a rat, a Crazy Otter! Zed yelps "Get off now!" and rips his dagger out quickly, and jabs it into the otters hand. (I'm dead now... he thinks)

(A little short, try to post longer posts)

Torks stared at the rat stabbing out at him with a knife. "Why that's a grand ole idea, I'll chop you up wid your own liddle knife, or..." The otter ran off. The sea was a long way to go, and he was going to get lonely. He was going to keep this little rat as company, and maybe when they got to the ocean a feast. "Nah, I'll keep ye as me liddle buddy right now" Taking a rope from the rat who had owned Dingybottom's pack. Inside was a rope. Torks tied up the rat's paws to the pole.

(This means your my prisoner, so you can't really leave the thread)

[Zed(Nel Zellphyer)]

Zed struggled against the ropes but then gave up, sure that the rat would eat him. He whimpered slightly. "Wait, I can nibble out can't I?" Zed contorted his head in a few painful directions, in his noble effort he started realizing it was near impossible to get out, Torks was too good to let a small woodmouse (Ahem, rat to him) get away. Zed then found a slight amount of rope that could be nibbled away so he could at least free one hand. He almost yelped in joy. He nibbled furiously, his mouth was turning red from the friction, Then, the small part of rope snapped, and he freed one hand to grab Akaleska Dagger, and use that to slice away the rest. "Little buddy eh?!" Zed was angry that Torks had played with him, It filled him with the same anger that he felt when the foxes attacked. "RAAAAAAAAGH!" He yelled loud, hoping Torks would hear and come back. Zed wanted to fight, As he drew His dagger and Akaleska's, He jumped up onto a tree that hanged over the riverbank, Ready to jump on Torks.

OOC: You both are powerplaying/god moding. Thats not allowed.

Sigurd - You cant tie him up. You can say you tried to. You also cant say you grabbed his foot. You can attempt to, however. And Zed can leave the thread any time he wants.

Zed - you cant say you pulled out a dagger and stabbed him. Again, you can say you attempted to.

Please, both of you, refrain from doing this in the future.

( srry skip, didn't realize)

Torks had been out hunting, so far, so good. He had found one of his old slaver rats farther down the river. Torks had slain him and was about to eat him, when he remembered he had flint at the raft. Flint meant fire, and fire meant cooked food. He may even give his small rat buddy some. Picking up the rat with one arm and throwing it over his shoulder he walked to the Dingybottom. The crazed otter also got some wood to repair that hole the rat made. When he got to the raft it was midnight, most beasts were asleep. Suddenly he realized the rat was gone. Dropping his load he jump into the water. Maybe he was going to have two rats tonight...
