[Sargy [Jigg]]

^{( I apologize in advance for the lack of skill involved in this post. I haven’t roleplayed Jigg in what, months? )}

To take on...

He had returned.

A mouth, fanged and vicious, opened to taste the air. And the air tasted good. It was full of the smells which he had missed for so long.

Where had he been? Why had he left?
Humph. Even he didn’t really know. To get away from it all, perhaps? To seek more promising territory? Who knew?
But he was back now. And he was going to let every single mind know he was here. At once. Without warning.

Beast lifted his gaze slightly, to look up at the star-spangled heavens. Then, in a strong, swift movement, he threw his head up, mouth contorted into an almost perfect ‘o’, and howled.
The king’s howls were often heard around the territory. They were like announcements in a school or shopping centre. Calling someone or the whole army…telling someone he was here…or something of the sort.
This time, he was telling P4 that he had returned. Calling them together. He wanted to know, of course, what had happened during his absence…and what of Sadae? That one female which Jiggsaw had thought most of all the time he had been gone…
And the others, too. Faust…Josephine…Scarr…Domnopalus…
Their faces swam in the air before him as he thought about them. He had…how do you say…missed them?

Massive paws carried him forward. Though he had retained his usual, burly appearance, there was something weakened about him. He looked thinner, and more disheveled. Clearly hunting hadn’t been the best for him. His metal leg was making him limp worse than ever. The rain had rusted it slightly. He’d have to do something about that.

But for now, he’d just need to make a mark. Make sure everyone knew that, despite his appearance, he was still the king. And he would kill anyone who tried prove him wrong.
With a snarl, the brute turned toward the nearest tree – an old maple. Putting all body weight onto his hindal legs, the massive canine reared up. He took a slash at the tree with the paw which wasn’t metalized, leaving a deep engraving upon the bark, which instantly began to bleed sap.

Yes, that would do.

[Sadae]

((That was great Sargy. ))

Business as usual for the only hound in P4 whose one job was to watch over the land for any that she did not know. The days seemed much more boring since Jiggsaw had disappeared oh so long ago, and it had been awhile since she'd seen anyone else. She'd simply been wandering through the jungle, carrying out her duties while her poor mind screamed to know where all of her allies were in the sudden silence that had engulfed the jungle.

The blind hound gave a sigh as she decided to take a quick break beside a rook, laying her head on her paws as she soon was about to sleep, but then a sudden howl had her up and ready in surprise. That howl, she knew it, she'd heard it before but from where? It didn't take long, luckily for her, to figure out that it was the howl of P4's long lost King. "Jiggsaw...you're home..." She said softly in a relieved voice.

Quickly and without hesitation, she headed in the direction of where she'd heard it, sniffing for his scet with her keen nose. Even though she was blind, she'd been traveling the land for so long that she knew where each and every litle rock and stick lay. What animals traveled over the land when and even picked out where some fruit trees were, something good for the hound so she wouldn't constantly run into things like she had when she was new here.

It didn't take too long for Jiggsaw's scent to enter her sensitive nose. The smell told her a lot about where and the condition of her King. He was about a mile away by now and he wasn't moving too much either but he smelled slightly weakened. That made her worried, she hoped he'd be ok. When she finally came upon him, her tail was wagging furiously behind her, excitement clear all over her body as she bowed in submission to him and laid before him. "It is a pleasure to have you back m' lord." She said with a wide and happy smile on her face.

[Sargy [Jigg]]

To take on...

It is a pleasure to have you back, m’lord.

Sadie. The sound of her voice came in a new light to Jiggsaw. He looked round quickly, pivoting on his forelegs to face her. “Sadie…” His voice was soft. He padded over to her. “No need for such formalities.” With that, he thrust his muzzle into her fur.

Of course, he had had feeling for her for a long time. He had guessed that she knew that.
All the same, he had never admitted it. To himself or anyone. Now was the time.

He had made his decision whilst he had been away. He had thought long and hard about it. Until he had finally decided on the case.
He hesitated for a split second, then murmured, “Sadie, do you think you’re up for being the queen of P4?” Jiggsaw knew that Sadie regularly had dangerous and painful headaches, when she thought hard. He wasn’t entirely sure if she’d be willing to be the queen.

While waiting for her reply, he looked around. The others had surely heard his howl…then why weren’t they coming? It disappointed him. Oh well, it would be their own fault in time. Or perhaps they were busy?
He felt his stomach growl, but he ignored it. He would hunt later. He wanted to talk to Sadie first. It was more important than food.

He knew that Sadie would make a wise, calm queen. But perhaps her headaches would hold her back…but there was always the chance he could somehow make those headaches leave her…maybe simple mind exercises would help? He didn’t know. He wasn’t good at this stuff. Domnopalus was his advisor, he would ask him.

[Sadae]

She smiled a little as he spoke. Feelings of great joy flooded through her entire body as the thought of both having Jiggsaw back and not being alone anymore filled her mind. How happy she was, her tail wagging a bit behind her and felt the vibrations of his movement, her ears perked up and twitch and her eyes stared out blankly.

“No need for such formalities.”

“Alright.” She said as she sat up and gave him a light nuzzle before he began to speak again.

“Sadie, do you think you’re up for being the queen of P4?”

As happy as she was, this had greatly surprised her and she seemed at a loss for words at the moment, her ears flattening for a second in surprise before they perked up again. She’d know for a long time now that he had feelings for her and she was sure that he knew she had for him as well, but never in her wildest dreams did she think something like this would happen. She looked down for a moment, thinking a little before she turned her head back to him. She knew it wouldn‘t be easy, but as long as she was his, it didn‘t matter.

“I’d love to as long as you are king.”

She said with a light smile, her tail wagging a bit behind her. She wasn’t too sure of what else to say, so she simply laid beside him, her head up, and ears perked as she listened to the sounds of The Jungle with a smile practically plastered to her face. This was defiantly the happiest moment of her life so far and she was glad for it.

((Sappy. Lol and will post as Scar in a few moments as well. =D *grabs the big fluffy wolf*))

[Sadae]

As Scarr

Oh how dull the days had grown with the silence of P4. It was so slow now a days ever since Jiggsaw had disappeared. No one really knew as to his whereabouts or why he’d even left in the first place, not even P4’s Right Hand Man.

Scarr had spent the days trying to keep up with the members of the army, but he’d not been able to find anyone, not even Sadae who’d been simply wandering throughout the Jungle. He’d been wondering about what he could do for a while now, he wondered if the others were dead, if he himself should simply leave and find some place to die, but then a mighty howl rang out, a howl that came from someone Scarr knew well.

“Jiggsaw...”

With that, the large hound quickly ran toward the source of the howl, ignoring the heat of the day and dodging his way through the overgrown vegetation. It didn’t take him very long to find Jiggsaw and once he was within a few feet of him, he slowed to a walk. “Long time no see.” He said with a chuckle although what he had said was very much true. He hadn’t seen him in months and it appeared that nature had not been too kind to the king of P4. He then looked over at Sadae with his one good eye, acknowledging her with a nod before turning toward Jiggsaw. “I see the others have not yet appeared.” He said in a disappointed tone.

[Sargy [Jigg]]

To take on...

I’d love to as long as you are king.

Jiggsaw let out a happy, purr-like noise. Thank god.
Now this army truly had some leaders. Not just the one. Perhaps, with Sadie’s help, he could make this group of vengeful experiments into some top-shape fighting machines.
And now, with Sadie by his side, Jiggsaw could truly begin to get this army in order. He’d give out ranks to those who deserved them…perhaps assign the pups some trainers and mentors…

He dropped into a similar position to hers, pushing his pelt against hers and resting his head on his paws. He took in her scent, his breathing steadying slightly. It was good to not have to be walking around. He was exhausted.

The moment of peace didn’t last long, however, and he looked up as a familiar face stepped into the area. “Scarr.” He nodded, getting to his feet.
Watching Scarr give Sadie an acknowledging nod made Jiggsaw think. Sadie would need knew respect…new authority. “Scarr, the female you see before you is no longer the head of the border patrol. She is, from this day forth, Queen Sadie. And you shall address her as such.” His voice wasn’t threatening, merely stating new facts.

He looked around. No signs of any others coming were visible, and his ears twitched backward in annoyance. Where were they all? Had they died? Left? What had happened to the army since he had gone?

...anyone.[/sup]

[Sadae]

“Scarr, the female you see before you is no longer the head of the border patrol. She is, from this day forth, Queen Sadie. And you shall address her as such.”

A slight bit of surprise came on the male’s face, but that was all as he simply smiled at the two. “My apologies Queen Sadae. “ He said as he gave her a respectful bow before sitting down before the two. He’d have to get used to this, but he figured it shouldn’t be too difficult.

“I am sorry to say regretfully that I have seen none of the others in many days. I am not sure how many of our army still remain.” He said with a sigh as he looked down for a moment before looking back at Jiggsaw and Sadae. He wished that he had better news to tell, but alas, that was all he knew of for now.

[Domnopalus]

(May I? :3)

But one would always remain. The swamp was his place of concealment and his place of waiting; and no doubt he had gone into such hiding as of late, for the same period of time it took the others to wake up. But his acute senses stirred him today--stirred him to wake and come out of hiding again.

And so, six glowing pinpricks of light lit their way out of the swamp, and the beast Domnopalus made his way forth to greet the King and new Queen.

When he approached, it was as if he came out of nowhere. There was a moment when he wasn't there and the next, he was. The only sound one might have heard, if one's ears were pricked up and if one was listening for it, was the slow crunch of dead leaves and other foliage beneath his hooves. But then, there he was; and in his deep, resonating voice, he spoke: "Greetings, my King; and, as it would seem, Queen," he said, sinking into a deep bow to each respective canine. A smug and toothy grin fell over his face while doing so.

Upon standing up, he nodded at Scarr and prepared to receive news and orders from the King and Queen. Drool slowly oozed from his mouth, and fell to the ground, leaving tiny, burnt holes in the earth where he stood.

[Morsus]

((Ye gads, I didn't see this. XD Well, time to grease up my RP skills once again.))

So far, living in the Jungle of P4 hadn't been as rousing or exciting as Morsus had xpected it to be. Of course, he liked this, as it was a lovely little reprieve from his hellish days being tortured in the lab. He grinned smugly to himself as he lay dozing off beneath a large, slightly horizontally-crooked tree, just letting his mind fly as free as a butterfly.

Then there was the howl.

The former poodle's head lifted with haste as his large ears shot up like satellite dishes. It was an unfamiliar sound, yet something told him deep inside that this was serious business. Without a word or thought to himself he got up quickly, not even wincing as several stitched areas of his were tightened by the movement. He gave the air a quick sniff and glanced skyward. Then Morsus proceeded to trot off as fast as he could without hurting himself, having given himself a good area of possibility for the source of the sound.

The 'hound began to pick up the pace, smelling others near the area of the sound made him even more curious to see what was going on there. Once he cleared the bushes, he saw the King for the first time, and instinctively lowered his ears and tail in submission. He then bowed before Jiggsaw, addressing him with a tone of respect.

"I take it that you were the one who made that call?"

[Sargy [Jigg]]

^{To take on...}

And they came.
One by one, a few of the jungle’s inhabitants became to emerge from the trees. Domnoplaus took Jiggsaw most by surprise. Where one moment there had been only bushes, the next there was a dark and lime green horse-like creature. It almost made the king, in all his canine glory, jump.
However, he corrected himself and nodded to the equine. “Domnopalus. It is a pleasure to see you again.” It was the truth, too. Jiggsaw hadn’t seen the supposed advisor of the army for some time. And he considered himself acquaintances with the ever-so-strange horsey-thing.

Jiggsaw was caused to look round again as another voice came. It was an unfamiliar voice to the King’s ears, but he recognized it as the voice of a subordinate.

I take it that you were the one who made that call?

The large canine turned to face the skinny being, those almost red eyes of his overlooking him, a single invisible brow quirked. He seemed to be sizing up the newcomer, before nodding. “You assumed correctly. What is your name?” He waited a while, then, without moving his body from the position in which it was, looked round at his deputy. “Scarr, how many more have joined us since my leaving?”

It made him wonder, really. What else had changed since he had left? The place seemed a lot quieter than it had been. What had happened to everyone? Where had they gone? Had they died? Changed? Or simply left? He frowned slightly. If they had left, they were traitors. And there was no use for traitors in his army, anyway.
He felt silently thankful toward those who had stayed and looked after the place, made sure no intruders had taken over it, made sure nothing had happened…
A smile wandered across his face. Yes, those who had stayed would receive the ranks they desired, of course…or at least a good rank. They deserved it.
He turned back to the brown subordinate, his red eyes burning into the other’s – yellow. He fired another question. “How long have you been living in this jungle?”

...anyone.[/sup]

[Morsus]

“You assumed correctly. What is your name?”

"My name is Morsus, votre altesse."

The 'hound answered smartly, making sure to address Jiggsaw very formally. You could tell when Morsus was being more formal than usual: he started mixing french into his sentences.

He could feel the King's eyes staring straight into his own, which very much indimidated him, and he felt a sense of fear he hadn't in months.

“How long have you been living in this jungle?”

"I have not been here long, King, perhaps only about a week. I was recruited by monsieur Scarr to be in the Army."


((Haha, i actually nave no idea about how long he's been in there. And this was a crap post. XP))

[Sadae]

Sadae gave the large, reptillian horse a nod and a light smile as she listened to the sounds of more hellions approaching. Nose twitching, she sat up now, still near Jigg before a new scent hit her sensitive nose.

It was Morsus that had caught her attention, the new smell putting her on higher alert as the blind female tried to figure out as much as she could from what she felt and smelled. He didn't seem like he'd be much of a threat and he smelled of submission. Calming once more, she looked to Domnopalus, wondering where he'd been before.

"Domnopalus, have you been in the Jungle this entire time?" She asked curiously, her ears perked as she waited for his answer.

--------------------------(As Scarr)---------------------------

Yawning a bit as he lumbered his way over to Jigg's other side, his head and tail lowered behind him slightly in a show of slight submission, Scarr sat down to rest his aching body. It'd been a long day and he'd been training to keep himself fit. As Domnopalus and Morsus appeared, he gave them acknowledgement with a nod and a glance toward them before looking at Jiggsaw who was speaking once more.

“Scarr, how many more have joined us since my leaving?”

"This hound before you joined only a few moons ago." He said as he looked over to Morsus. "I'm not sure of exactly what use he could be to us, but I figured he'd be good for something." He said with a huff as he looked around with his one good eye before sniffing the air for anyone else. "I think that Faust and Josie have not yet returned from their previous mission, although it was a long one.They should be back soon if they did not run into any trouble." He stated, almost in a rather uninterested voice.
