THE HUNT

You head back to the location of that strange pink cat. He's been pretty useful in helping you catch creatures, but before you can reach the area you always find him at, you hear him yelling at....himself.

"You're just a stupid....suusttuuuu sttuuuuuu--------"
"STUPID MANIPULATIVE BITCH WHO CAN NEVER CHANGE!!!!!! ALL YOU DO IS MAKE EVERYONE HATE YOU!!!"
"Even right now you're crying in public because you know the others will be here soon and you want them to see you crying and feel super duper sorry for you and pay attention to you."
"WAAAAAAAH BUT PEOPLE ONLY PAY ATTENTION TO ME IF THEY'RE HURTING ME OR I'M CRYING!!!!! IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S THEIR FAULT! TH----THEY SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ME WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TRY AND GET IT."
"You! Are! A! MANIPULATIVE! BITCH! Stop! Crying!!!! Sniff...sniff."

Despite trying to give himself a pep talk he still-
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You walk forward, shaking a few leaves as you do and informing that alien of your presence.

He instantly changes his mood, obviously making a split second decision on what impression he wants to give.

"Anyway, today I found something super duper amazing just for you guys cause you've been sniff....sniff......uuuuuuuuu-uh anyway, I found something really cool today! You're going to lose your mind when I show you it!!!!"
"I wanted to catch it really bad, I spent hours and hours trying! It should be my pet but....but....."
"Sniff... sniff.....I'm too shoooooort to reach it and my claws got filed down by-b-by the captain of the wiiiiiiiiinged sail because I scratched him for calling him meeeeeeeean!!!!!!!!!!"

He points up in the trees, and you see the amazing creature he was trying to catch (and clear marks on the tree showing he legitimately tried his best to catch it.)

AN ANCIENT THORNHEAD HAS APPEARED!!!

This thornhead jumps from tree to tree, annoyed at the new attention it's getting, it was bad enough dealing with the first person!

"Ok let's all try to catch it together! Let me try it first! WOOSH!!!!!!!"
Mewinger rolls an 100 sided die. A 76 is rolled.

He falls into mud!

"Sniff.... your....your turn...."

[Toxic Rave (Tubular Trash Zone Escape) (Pizza Tower)]

You and countless others enter into a mad dash to catch the ancient thornhead.

It flies over a river, several aliens releasing arises from capture creature cages to cross faster, but no luck.

It soars across a field of thornheads, and the experienced thornhead handlers are able to mount and ride through the masses, yet the ancient remains elusive.

It dives down into a dark tube. Blorts instinctively guide their owners through, only to fall short of catching the creature.

When you exit the tube you find your pink friend on the ground healing himself with magic paws.

"That's it.....No more tactics..."
"It's time to swarm."

YOUR SWARM LEADER HOWLS OUT. YOU FEEL EMPOWERED. ON THIS MOON FILLED NIGHT, YOU FLOCK LIKE LOCUST, EVER HUNGRY, NOTHING WILL STAND IN YOUR WAY.

One alien breaks out ahead of the rest, dashing on all fours with determination. As the thornhead loses air they leap up to catch it, bringing their hooves together to snatch it out of its flight.

The swarm has obtained the ancient creature....but who?

Cyb has it....... Cyb has the ancient creature in his hooves.
"AWESOME I KNEW MY SWARMING WOULD SOLVE EVERYTHING!!!!!"
"Ok now give it to me, Cyb."
"Pardon?"
"It was MY swarming that won us this ancient."
"So. It's mine."
"Sorry I'm being rude.........I'm sorry."
"Can you please hand over the ancient to me?"
"The help is appreciated, truly, but isn't part of working as a 'swarm' is to help the group? Besides, just because one person catches a creature in an expedition of sorts, doesn't mean that the person who did most always gets it. It's the expedition leader. And we really didn't have a so called leader, we just kinda clambered over each other until one of us managed to grab it. That being me."
"So... I think I will be keeping it."
"I DO NOTHING BUT HELP YOU GUYS OUT!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bitch."
The pink kitsche runs away before the words leave Cyb's mouth.
No one is typing.
