Shute: (on losing the nice version of Princess Rele) "That was sad."
... AND NOW MAY I QUOTE The Robot Devil of Futurama fame, last episode of the original run, on scenarios like this: "You can't have the characters ANNOUNCE how they feel! That makes me feel ANGRY!" I rest my case.
AAAW! The Dark Axis trio finish each others sentences. On that note, though, Zapper has a tummy? OH WELL. Gives Lila something to rub!
All that work to get RIGHT back in the Minov Boundary Sea. How anti-climactic. Bet Zero beat up his pillow for a few hours after that. (Zero: (beating up pillow) I! WAS! RIGHT! THERE! WHY! DOES! THIS! KEEP! HAPPENING! GAAAAAH!)
AND ON THAT NOTE! Gundam Force: "We're back in the Minov Boundary Sea!"
Dom: "Minoooov!"
That's right, Dom! You get in on that conversation!
Dom: Dom want attention! (dumb smile)
... so Cobramaru gives a big loud laugh... and goes back to hiding? I still don't quite get what his status is with the crew at this point. Is he a prisoner, or a stowaway?
THOUGHT: Wouldn't it have been funny if the Princess had a really thick Cockney accent? Or even better! IRISH! That'd be so funny! Annoying, but funny! (Princess: (singing in the accent of choice) Aaah, wooouuuldn' it be love-a-ly!)
(chuckle) She fell. I'm happy.
GGAAHA-HA-HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Real Rele pulls the "Keep the little brother away from you" move and just pushes on his head! THAT'S PRICELESS! GUNDAMS ARE SHORT, HA HA HA!
ON that note, Zero's comments are an example of GOOD on-the-fly dialogue filler they do sometimes with anything dubbed. (For bad examples, see the movie Doogal. ALL of the movie Doogal, really.) "PRINCESS! I've got you- well, I WILL get you- or- I WOULD have gotten you-"
... her voice is a little deeper than Rose Rele... isn't it? Are my ears deceiving me? Somebody help me out. This one actually sounds a few years older than she's supposed to... I like it! A girl character that doesn't speak in a girlish falsetto!
... did the Princess just bully her way out of her own plothole... I think I like her a little more now!
... LITTLE Bakunetsumaru?!
Baku: (at Zero) YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER TELL ANYONE!
Zero: ($h!t-eating grin)
Shute: I don't get it.
Captain: (covers Shute's ears, blushing) Nor should you, Shute.
THAT was a good moment, by the way. Bakunetsumaru: YOU CALL ME HOT-HEADED, I'LL SHOW YOU HOT-HEADED WHEN I BOIL YOUR HEAD WITH SOME STEAMED RICE AND- (catches himself) ... dang.
... with that look, and those pinchy hands, I did NOT expect Genkimaru to finish his sentence with "face"... (covers chest protectively) Ow. They hurt just thinking about it.
... WHY did Shute get introduced LAST?!
... but I do like the look on Shute's face. It's kind of "You're nice, and I'm happy for Zero, but you remind me of my friend that just 'died', so I'm kinda sad too".
Sole heir. DANG. Now that's two big "YOU GOT IT WRONG"s in my old musical fanfic.
... Captain's saying "Hmm" a lot in this episode. (gets distracted by Soul Calibur) Mortal Kombat is better. ANYWAY, this Princess isn't as instantly unlikeable as the Japanese version. I think it's the voice.
Another thought: I'm going to guess that Rose Rele modeled her behavior after what Deed THOUGHT the Princess would act like. If that's the case, WHERE did Deed get that image of her from, anyway? Paying too much interest in the Princess's PR agent, and not the Princess herself, methinks.
(giggle) I like the way Zero said "banana". Gonna watch that again and again and again now.
BAKU! PRINCESS! You're breaking the Robot Devil's rule! BAD CARTOON CHARACTERS! Baku is "furiously sad" though, which makes it better.
AAAAW! Shute's been watching too much Pixar, but it's still ADORABLE! Doesn't want the rose to be lonely... cher!
Wait... go down the elevator... which is at the back of the Gundamusai... fall out of the air... on the FRONT of the Gundamusai... AND DON'T YOU SAY "THEY WALKED", FENN! If it's not explained beforehand or soon after, it's a continuity error!
Grappler: (Whacks himself in the head) And THAT is why sensei said not to teach tai-kwon-do outside of class.
Dom: "GET THEM! Huh? Weapon empty, Dom! GET THEM ANYWAY!" ... don't know what Crimson sees in him. He's cute, though! Like a big Zako.
Zero: They are fearsome warriors.
Shute: (butt slap) U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi! You ugly, yeah yeah, you ugly!
Zero: (bright red) ... wellmaybenot "fearsome", per se...
Zero: "And then he became possessed with the desire to become human so he could marry YOU, Princess."
SHE SHOULD HAVE GONE "EW!". SHE SHOULD HAVE.
... A thought. Wouldn't Zero's situation here be like talking about your recent divorce with your boss, or something? I mean, AWKWARD. You've literally and figuratively put this girl on a pedestal your whole life (?) and now you're talking about how you killed your ex-best friend. That's gotta be weird. It's a good conversation, though, with FORESHADOWING and the power of love! And not Hollywood "Two hot people have sex" love, actually love love. Awesome.
DOM'S FIGHTING WITH A FRYING PAN! Also awesome, in a more shallow way.
Shute: "Yeah, but for a cape, it's pretty stiff, and (voice gets sotto) it sticks out funny in the back, y'know..?"
WHY, SHUTE, a budding fashionista!
THAT was the cutest episode I've ever seen.
Zako Yellow Mic: WHAT IS LOVE-
Speakers: BABY DON'T HURT ME! DON'T HURT ME! NO MORE!
Baku: (walks by bobbing his head) Oo, I love this skit!
Shute: (wearing really ugly clothes and talking in a bad fake accent) I am for to thinking I make the wrong joke!
Kudos to whoever gets THOSE references.
Zako: (about the Princess) "She would look kinda cute in a green helmet!" Aaaw. They need lady Zakos. How sweet, though.
FRIENSHIPFOREVER moment: After the curtain closes. Zako in the audience: (after a pause) LOVE YOU!
HOW SWEET!
It's that or Zero and Princess having a real bonding moment talking about Deed, love, the Gundam Force, the universe, and everything.
Only resembles Rele-Hime in LOOKS. In order for her to be more subvertive, Deed downscaled the personality. That's probably why she sounds a little different from Princess Rele. The fake is more meek than the more composed and confident Princess. Eh, Royalty. go figger.
Rele: And what's THAT supposed to mean?
Oh! Ah! Uh, it means, why bother to understand the ways of the nobility, when they exist on a MUCH grander scale than us commoners.
Rele: You are a TERRIBLE liar. Giggles But you are forgiven nonetheless.
Yellow Mic Zako: ...
Rele: Yes? Can I help you? Do you want something from me?
Yellow Mic: *Holds out a heart-shaped piece of metal*
... got nothin' against the pronunciation per se, I just always thought it was "Ger-BEAR-a", and I kinda like it better. But oh well.
... it is just me, or does the show kinda of set it up to look like Gerbera is controlling the General? Because THAT'D make a cool fanfiction! It's kinda like Voldemort living in the back of Quirrel's head!
Gerbera making the STUPID BOND VILLAIN MOVE NUMBER 1 by revealing the evil plan BEFORE IT IS FINISHED FOR THE SAKE OF ORATION. They never learn, those villains.
Gerbera: (laughing until he hits the dimensional... gack that forms the portal) OW! That hurts, you son of a b!tch!
General: (Jabba-the-Hutt-esque laugh)
... WHY, when Haro was talking to Captain, was he facing Zero?
But on that note, HARO EARS! (grabs one) EEE!
Baku: "Nice going, Zero. Crying in front of the chief-"
Zero: (PMS moment) YOU'RE ONE TO TALK, YOU CRY AT THE DROP OF A FEATHER!
Baku: THAT WAS AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT! Just because I deal with my emotions at the appropriate moment blah bla-
Shute: (trying to shut them up) Guys, we're on the phone!
OH, I shouldn't have laughed at this! Mayor Margaret: "I heard that Lacroa is in peril! (totally phoning it in) I'm sorry!"
Princess Relehimana de Lacroa: Bad at listening, great at getting right down to the nitty-gritty and figuring stuff out. Like Haro's mask. The Mayor and Haro know how to laugh it off, though. Lot like parents. Good for them!
Zero's quip about stalling. I like it. I don't feel like quoting it. Moving on.
(Phone cuts out.) OH YEAH, now the good part starts! This is my favorite episode, btw. At least, it is in the Japanese version. Let's see if it translates well.
Raimi: "Unable to determine the cause of interruption-" (suddenly gets a huge case of pink eye)
Somebody, ANYBODY: Well, I bet that has something to do with it.
Zero: "You've come for revenge for my defeat of Deathscythe!" ... maybe being presumptive is just a Lacroa thing, and since Rele's royal, it's SUPER concentrated in her...
Ever notice that those holdy things Gerbera throws at Zero and Baku had little bayonette-type dealies in the middle. They should have had little bitty stab wounds, at least!
And ALL THE WHILE, Gerbera is not even acknowledging Shute's presence! Another thing that just makes sense: I bet Dark Axis bots still have anti-human-killing programming somewhere in the back. It explains why the Dark Axis rarely acknowledges the token humans and only petrifies everything else, and why Zeong only tried to turn Shute evil, not kill him. (At least after trying to kill him didn't work.)
(shiver) Got flashback from Rele and Genkimaru. It's a lot like hiding in the closet when Mom and the current step-dad were fighting. The whole world's falling apart, and you're trapped in the tiny safe spot... (HARD shiver) Back to the happy place...
Hmm... Captain's explanation for the Soul Drive kinda sounds like what happens to dogs and cats when they're not socialized. So maybe the Soul Drive IS inherently evil, and humans have to domesticate it and make it good.
FANFIC IDEA. Captain not bonding with Shute and being EVIL in the future! That'd be a fun one!
(spends the next 10 minutes wibbling and going EEEEE a lot.)
HEY! We don't even get to hear Captain fall! What a jip!
Zako Red: "OH THAT SOUL DRIVE ROUND AND ROUND IT TURNS! YES!" I love it when they sing!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, one of the Zako's is wearing Gerbera's old head! HA!
FRIENDSHIPFOREVER moment: THE ENTIRE EPISODE IS THE FRIENDSHIPFOREVER MOMENT!
OKAY, OKAY. SO. WHEN I'M THE MAYOR WITH MY MAYORAL BOX AND EVERYTHING.
WHEN SOMEONE OPPOSES SOMETHING I WANT, I CAN TRAP THEM UNDER MY DESK AND THEY CAN NEVER GET OUT EVER. HHGFDSGFDHYGDGGGGGGDFGHFD, YOU AWESOME PERSON, YOU.
Ok, so there's tons of flaws glaring at me as I upload this, but if I tried to go back and fix each one it would have taken me over 3 hours to do this silly shot... I hate my perfectionist tendencies =_=
This one's kind of simple really, Kaira (from my fanfic, in case somebody doesn't know) is spying on a certain someone in the shower. Stealth can be used for many things...
Looking at your drawing made me want to draw something, but I haven't been able to focus on one thing for more than 10 minutes lately... Let's see if I can fix that >:|
<blames Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and goes off to look for art book>
And out of EVERYBODY... Baku misses the hole... (resists the temptation to make a "virgin" joke)
And what's up with Zapper's one foot shuffle there?
4:57. Zako: "You da maaaaaan!" YES! Awesome!
Cobramaru: "He's either reckless, or a genius!" It's so often the case of being BOTH, Cobra-sama!
The Zakos managed to rhyme Genkimaru! Nice touch! Didn't think they were that smart... wonder if they have that Uni-Mind thing like the little green aliens on the Buzz Lightyear cartoon.
Baku looks sexy when he's scared. (nearly avoids brick) WHAT?!
(flashback of screaming like a baby last time he went to Lacroa) Baku: (totally not embarrassed) That was not my best moment...
Huh... that's interesting... Baku isn't breathing in the American version... weird, as he's obvious heaving his chest like he SHOULD be breathing...
Okay, Genki, I know you're curious and all, but shouldn't the RED banana be a sign that you shouldn't eat it? Ever hear the great Mitch Hedburg talk about that? "On a traffic light, green means go, and yellow means yield. But on a banana, it's just the opposite. Green means 'hold on', and yellow means 'go ahead', and red means 'where the f*ck did you get that banana from?'"
Zapper: "OH, cleaning up bananas is a very ap-peel-ing job!"
Grappler: (appalled look)
Ditto over here, Grappler.
And on that note, I love the noises Zapper's feet make when he bounces! So cute!
Where are the custom commercial breaklettes?! I liked those!
CHER, Genkimaru and his little baby special technique! Wanna pinch it!
Cobramaru: "Why is he saving those useless fools?! They're not even good guys!" Ah, Cobramaru. Smart enough to break the fourth wall, but not smart enough to just CUT HIMSELF LOOSE FROM THE FRIGGIN' BOX!
SOOOO MAAAANNYYY FLASHBACKS! I must have skipped over all these in the Japanese version. There are TONS!
Cobramaru: "What kind of water is this? I can BREATHE!" YES! THANK YOU, Cobramaru, for both giving us knowledge of girl Musha Gundams AND telling us that you can breathe canonically! AWESOME! ... so does this mean that the Knight Gundams are gestated in spirit water that basically acts like that fluid in your Mom's womb? Freud'd have a field day with that!
Poor Pawn Leos... they need model glue for their cards.
FRIENDSHIPFOREVER moment: ... uh... HANG ON, I gotta have one for every episode. Uh... OO! Baku and Talgeese, for helping the poor thing onto his feet! Okay, got it!
RANDOM THOUGHT: Princess would've had a sucky time if she'd gotten her period. Gundam Force ain't gonna pack emergency Maxi Pads.
ANOTHER NOTE: What if, for some reason, they'd kept the Princess Rose around for longer and noticed that little descrepency?
Zero: Um... (VERY embarrassed) m'lady?
Rose Princess: Yes, Zero?
Zero: I, um... have noticed th-that you're missing your... um... monthly visitor?
And there are THREE ways that could end. WAY NUMBER 1:
Rose Princess: Ohthat! Well, um, she, er, um-
Zero: M-m-my lady is pregnant! (pauses) WHERE IS SHUTE? I'm gonna kill 'im!
WAY NUMBER 2:
Rose Princess: My what?
Zero proceeds to explain the birds and the bees to the Rose Princess, in knightly detail. Rose Princess is scarred for life and afraid of Zero for the rest of eternity, even in rose form.
WAY NUMBER 3:
Rose Princess: How do you know? (thinks) Have you been going through my undergarments?
Zero: (hides underwear behind his back) NO!
Anyway, moving on...
Captain's little "eh... heh" was perfect.
AND ON THAT NOTE. Captain: (big reassuring pat on the shoulder) "Looks like she's fine without you." KNOWS HOW TO CHEER UP A GUY, CAPTAIN DOES.
AAAAAAAAAAWWWWSHUTE'SLITTLERICECAKEMAKINGSONG!
Lacroan runes are really... square. I expected something more flowery.
Captain doesn't call her Princess Rele often, does he? Must be like Zero calling Baku by his full name all the time; they just like it better.
Feyzera? That's Fenn's real name? ... I LIKE IT!
AND LOOK! The Jormandgur! At 17:26!
Shute: "You're O-KAY." Famous last words, boy-o.
(SHUDDER) SERIOUS American McGee's Alice flashback on the entrance to the garden of wisdom. YIE.
At least Deathscythe doesn't have that sappy heart-mergy senquence like Zero does with Fenn. Bleh.
(laughs at the entire Zako Zako Hour) Poor little Zako, comparing his feet to the giant Gundam footprints!
FRIENDSHIPFOREVER moment: The Chef Zako's standing ovation, zako! CHER!
WOW. Not even 10 seconds into the actual episode, and Zero and Captain are up against a wall. Nice observation skills, there.
Deathscythe: "I would just STARE at Rele..." ... EW.
AND ON THAT NOTE. Deathscythe: "...because I was a Gundam, and she was a human." AND SHE'S, LIKE, FIFTEEN. Come on, man! Fall for a girl with fully grown milk jugs, at least!
... Deathscythe says too many things that don't make sense. I'm too tired to comment on ALL of them.
5:11. (looks at Rele's wrists) Ick. Come on, artists, do it better. That looks weird. And painful.
So, the Superior Dragon begat a kingdom of Pokemon? WEAK.
8:34-ish. The BEST noise they could find was the "straw sucking up the last few drops of soda" noise? WEAK AS WELL. Everything before that was really touching, though.
GHAOHOLYF*CK!
Deathscythe: (jabs at Shute's neck)
Captain: "Give it to him!"
CAPTAIN. Willing to risk the entire mission so Shute won't get beheaded! (sniff) I'm so proud!
... THOUGHT. Only the Lacroa villains, up to this point, have really held Shute at gunpoint, so to speak.
... another thought. Remember this line? "What makes you think anyone, let alone EVERYONE will show up at this exact spot?"
Deed: "He blew himself up, what a pity!" ... and I guess that's all he gets... oh well. Bye, Goosey. You'll live on in crackfics forever.
(BIGDRAMATICFLASHOFLIGHTOMG)
Zapper: WHERE ARE MY SUNGLASSES?!
I love this show.
FRIENDSHIPFOREVER moment: Tie between Rele giving up her human form and Captain muscling his way through the magic barrier.
...I'd better create my Gundam too. XD All right, let's go, guys!
Name: Kawing-Athlyee (known simply by outsiders as "Lycan Gundams"). The name comes from a particular snarl in their language (see below), Krahr-arwawr-ahrawh-yreek, which means "howling like wolves".
Species: You guessed it...Gundam.
Language: Hrarr - A series of harsh, feral sounds, composed of mostly a combination of snarls, snaps, growls, grunts, howls and whines. Those outside the Kawing-Athlyee cannot learn Hrarr without a blessing by a Kawing-Athlyeeian shaman, who bestows a mystic mark in the shape of a wolf's paw surrounded by a circle upon the chosen's head. The name is an onomatopoeia, taken from a sort of throaty growl that is supposed to signify the word "language". When written (which appears to be a series of crude runes), each word is seperated by a hyphen instead of a space.
Appearance: Up to a foot and a half taller then your average Gundam, with females only a few inches smaller then males and build more for speed then their counterparts. Wolfish features, as well as teeth, claws, ears and tails, and a distinctively untamed, feral look. They are a primitive race, clad in ornate furs and bone and stone jewelery, bulky builds meant to last in their northern home.
Homeland: Sverre, a vast, northern mountain rage that is bitterly cold and filled with all sorts of valleys, said valleys always filling up with snow in the year-round wintertime. Beyond Sverre are the Lichen Plains, a vast, unexplored tundra that shamans are sent to so that they may prove themselves strong enough to learn Kawing-Athlyeeian magic, a mix of rituals taken from both schools of Light and Darkness Mana. Not much is known about this mountain range save for what these Lycan Gundams know themselves, and they don't exactly like sharing information...
Religion: Four wolf gods---two gods, two goddesses, one pair light and the other dark. The first is Fenrisulfr, the Great Wolf, creator of the world and beast of good. He is the god of leadership, males, fatherhood, strength, hunting, and goodness.
The second god is a goddess; she is Fenrisulfr's mate, Thyth, beastess of good and mother of the Lycans. The Great Wolfess is the goddess of motherhood, protection, females, children (called "pups" in proper terminology, "puppies" as a pet name by the older Gundams), food, and curing illness, she is a primary source of worship by shamans, who believe her love of the Lycan Gundams is the source of their magic.
The third god is male, and is known as Mar. The cunning trickster, the fountain of darkness, he who is the Foul One is the god of evil, pain, death, sickness, weapons and jealousy. He is said to have killed Thyth's first litter, and thus, was banished to the underworld in a ball of fire by Fenrisulfr, bound to the darkness for eternity by snakes who eat his heart every moonrise, it growing back every sunrise.
The fourth and final goddess is Yggdrasil, Mar's mate, Mar's left paw and taker of souls. She followed her mate to the underworld, forever gnawing at the snakes that bind him in an attempt to free him and end the world. Thyth twisted the other wolf's body into a roughly draconic shape as punishment for conspiring in the death of Thyth's first litter, and thus, Yggdrasil can fly, but is forced to feel pain whenever she is shone on by the sun or moon. She is the goddess of gluttony, hatred, winter, famine, loss and crime.
Culture:
Politics:
There are more then a hundred packs of Lycan Gundams, each worshipping either one or two gods. There a few that worship the full pantheon, but little is known about them; basically, you either worship the good guys or the bad guys, and you kill anyone that doesn't worship the same side of gods as you as decreed by Fenrisulfr and Mar. Each pack is governed by an Alpha or an Alphess (male and female, respectively), or sometimes just one; the pups, when they come of age (twenty winters, akin to twenty years), fight amongst each other in a grueling combat ceremony to see who inherits the title of Alpha. Their mate will become either the Alpha or Alphess, depending on respective gender, and any leaders who pass away with no children will appoint the closest blood relative (or adoptive child if there is none) as the new leader. When all else fails, the shaman or next shaman will take up the role of Alpha or Alphess.
The Beta and Betaness of the pack are shamans and/or religiously adept, taking care of mystic matters. They appoint a Head Shaman to work with them when it comes to magic, and any abuse by magic in the community they deal with. The system for appointing Betas works just like the Alphas do, but instead of fighting, they see who is the most skilled in casting spells.
The Gamma and Gammess do all the hunting, stockpiling food, counting prey, etc. as well as leading warriors in raids on enemy packs and in fights during warfare. Their fighting trials are considerably much fiercer then the Alpha's, due to the fact that bear is considered a delicacy among Lycan Gundams, and if you can bring one down, then you stand a bigger chance of becoming the next Gamma/Gammess...oh, and they (the trials) can escalate into a fight to the death. Inheritance of this position relies solely on the stronger wolf; it doesn't matter if you're the Gamma's baby or not, as long as you can prove that you're more likely to gouge the other Lycan's eye out, you get the job.
The rest of the council consists of six other Lycan Gundams, and are the strongest in the community in some way (most intelligent, most fierce, most likely to escape an enemy, etc.). Hand-chosen by the Alphas themselves, they serve to represent the people, and inform the higher-ranked members of any complaints, problems, etc. and are asked for their opinion on several matters.
Family:
Marriages are either arranged or done by free will, depending on pack rank, pack numbers, and several other factors. Males and females court each other for a moon (a.k.a. "month") before proposal, and females and males waiting to be married wear ceremonial necklaces with bright beads made out of diamonds (yes, diamonds; it's a rare, valuable material, and symbolizes the importance of a loving relationship, so using them anywhere else is considered blasphemy). The male and female are seperated two suns (days) before the ceremony, and cannot see nor speak to each other until then; this is to prove that they will pine and actually love each other, and is known as "Grathhrah-Aracchrach" (lit. "Seperating The Lovers"). Weddings are simple, consisting of a slightly modified "I-do" system then what one might expect, and when all is said and done, the couple does a special "wedding howl" to proclaim their love for each other to the gods; this substitutes the kiss.
After marriage, the female moves into a seperate hut or cave with the male (Lycans live in either), where they live for the rest of their lives. If the mate dies, the other will never remarry, and instead will wear the necklace of the other along with his/her own to show they are widowed. Pups are born after a gestation of six months, and range from one to four pups (rarely five, but never more). This is known as a "litter", just like with normal dogs, and also mentioned like before, they are called "puppies" as a pet name, but in all seriousness, pups.
As mentioned before, pups come of age at twenty winters ("winters" is the term for "years", calculated every twelve months, or "moons"). Males are taken on their first hunt, and if they manage to successfully bring down something, they are considered men. The bigger the prey, the higher the honour, and the more likely they are considered for a position on the council. The same applies for females. Any Lycan Gundam can get married at the age of eighteen winters, but if they do, they cannot have children until they are twenty; any pups before then are considered illegitimate children, and abandoned.
If a mate cheats on his/her spouse, the perpetrator is banished, and all children with his/her current mate considered illegitimate. If the children are less then three winters, they are abandoned, but if older and less then twenty, they are thrown out onto the streets and considered to be "Omega", or "inferior". They will most likely spend the rest of their lives begging for food and being hired as servants, but there is a slight chance they can be redeemed if adopted into a "proper" family. They still will have a stigma attached to them, though, and any Lycan considered of age who has this happen to them will be dishonoured, and be subsequently treated poorly by the rest of the pack. For the Lycan they were cheating with, their children are also considered illegitimate, and suffer the same consequences as above.
Hunting:
Just like wolves would, only in a more battle-esque structure, and with spears, slings and other crude weapons. They keep downwind, tracking their prey until they find it, where they chase it and seperate it from the rest of the group if it is a pack/herd/etc. animal. They will wound it, and if it doesn't die on the run, they'll back it into a corner and then try and bring it down. If it escapes, they track it as best as they could, sometimes taking days just to find a single prey animal. If they can't find it, it is considered dishonourable, and looks bad on the part of the Gamma and/or Gammess; if there are enough failures, then the authority of the current Gamma(s) comes into question, and trials may be held to find a new one.
Of all the prey animals in Sverre, bear is considered of the highest delicacy, and one is most honourable if they can bring one down; it is served at feasts and other special occasions, such as marriage. Of the lowest delicacy are mice and rabbits, considered mere fodder that practically anyone can catch, and are a popular source of food for those considered "illegitimate".

OC coming soon! XD I'll post a reply with her bio as soon as I have her finished.
MAN, I wish I could say more, but I shouldn't pick out stuff I'll be grading on until everybody's turned theirs in. I'll go in more detail later, I swear!
