#the zoo keeper's wife

[movie--posters]

[physics-of-one-piece]

Everyone is saying "Celestial Dragon Doffy would be terrible" and while YES, I DO AGREE 100%, I also think depending on the circumstances...

That is the most spoiled Celestial Dragon you will ever meet. He doesn't know how to dress himself in human clothes. In fact, he'd rather be NAKED than wear human clothes. They are itchy to him, just don't feel comfortable, etc etc.

He has whimsical buying sprees of the most unexpected things. Had an ice-skating rink built in the middle of summer cus he wanted to learn to ice skate & play hockey and when he failed the first time and fell on his face he threw a tantrum and he got a cold cus he laid there for five minutes with his face on the ice cus he couldn't get up and Rosi also ended up getting a cold cus he tried to go help him up and fell and it was just a disaster, Homing had to call the guards to help them lug his huge ten feet sons off the ice skate rink.

Of course there is the entire flamingo pond he built for the flamingos. He did not take into account the bird droppings and the limited amount of fish cus you know - not naturally made lake for the flamingos. So then they had to hire zoo keepers for that.

He has separation anxiety from you, his one single human wife. You are his literal emotional support human. He marries you and clings to you aaaall the time. You have to be with him aaaall the time. And I mean AAAAALL the time. You wanna sit on the sunbed and read a book?

Yeah, no, Doflamingo gets jealous and throws the book in the flamingo pond.

Hugs you like his personal plush in his sleep.

Everyone is too focused on the "absolute evil celestial doffy" and forget that canon little celestial doffy was a spoiled little kid with anger issues and he would have grown up into a spoiled big adult with anger issues.

Wait.

He canonically DID. 🤣🤣

Walker review, episode 7 "Hold me now"

It's a beautiful golden morning and Cordell prepares to fix breakfast of egg and bacon for August but he's already half-way out the door. Come on Auggie, it's bacon, everybody loves bacon! Cordell puts away the egg and bacon and opt for cereal while he reads James' book on a serial killer. Cereal, serial, get it? I slay me.

Little did August know that morning would be the last time his dad would be there for him, and he'd going to wish he had stayed for breakfast.

At Ranger HQ, Cordell is leading the team search for the serial killer called the jackal who was previously dormant but now back and have killed 2 people. Cordell's first choice of suspect, a wife abuser, turned up to be a dead end but that doesn't slow him down. The following day he picks another suspect from the bottom of the least suspicious list, a former zoo keeper whose zoo was the closest site of the first victim. Nobody is on board with Cordell's theory so he's like, no problem, I'll check the defunct zoo myself. Cassie refuse to let Cordell go alone and Luna invites himself along.

The trio arrives at the creepy abandoned zoo and only the audience see the decayed corpse of an animal, a jackal with missing teeth, which is the killer's calling card. Luna and Cassie find a disturbing underground room filled with tools of the killer's trade. Cordell finds fresh tracks and chases a distant figure, who escapes after he ambushes Cordell and knocks him out. Though the killer remains free, the rangers are closer than they've ever been in years and his lair will provide much needed data for a profile.

Cordell is upset that he was so close to catching the killer and is more determined than ever to finish the job. He returns home to find Liam upset that history is repeating itself, Cordell is neglecting his family and Liam is picking up the slack. Cordell says he will make it up to his children and tells Liam to stop being so dramatic. (At this point I', convinced Ben is running the horse rescue.)

Both men are correct and there's no easy answer. A serial killer is on the loose and catching it is not a 9 to 5 job. There's an expectation that public service jobs mean some family times has to be scarified. I know a family that has 3 generations of firefighters, they never spent a single Thanksgiving and Christmas together as a family because the men are too busy putting out kitchen fires and/or fireplace fires caused by idiots. Mothers Day is the only holiday that most criminals take a break from their usual criminal activities.

Cordell goes to his study room filled with research on the jackal and it is revealed that he stole evidence from the killer's lair, a length of rope. Cordell tightly wraps the rope around his wrist as if he's trying to get into the mind of the killer and looking through his eyes. In an earlier scene, Cassie said zoo keeping isn't that much different from ranching and pointedly looks at Cordell.

Sidenote, Luna and Cassie finds the killer's note written in capitalized letters, which is the same style Luna wrote in his love note to Cassie. I really hope this is a red herring for Cassie's sake, her two previous dates literally tried to kill Cordell: for a cause and for revenge, respectively. Cassie doesn't need the third romance to turn out to be another psycho and also I need the three of them to go undercover at a Shadow Hawk convention.

Speculation #4: the Jackal is a member of the survivor network and encouraged people like Henry to blame innocent people. He knew Luna was undercover at the motel and learned his handwriting style to feed false leads to the survivor network.

Score: 9.7 out of 10.  We get to see why Cordell is the best ranger as the stakes are deepening. A point 2 deduction for the stalled necklace mystery, another point 2 deduction for Bonham and Abeline subplot about derailed retirement plans. Point 1 given back for August maturing and being a good kid.

Current status of Awayuki Kokorone's harem (i.e. all of the talent working at Live-On) as of episode 8 of VTuber Legend.

Mashiro Irodori: Awa's wife and life long partner. They will be together until the end of time and their bond is unbreakable.

Chami Yanagase: Awa's girlfriend. They just started dating but are taking it slow. She's sooooo normal chat.

Hareru Asagiri: Awa's oshi. She can turn Awa into a sopping wet puddle of gay goo just by looking at her and she knows this.

Sei Utsuki: Awa's fellow dirty joke loving lesbian comrade. They aren't actually each other's type but they will escalate any situation into gay sex, for the bit.

Shion Kaminari: Awa's mommy (sexual).

Kaeru Yamatani: Awa's baby (sexual)

Alice Souma: Awa's biggest fan. Wants to fuck Awa's uvula in specific.

Hikari Matsuriya: Awa's baby (mother-ship self-proclaimed by awa, not sexual), but she would like to upgrade it to being her *****. Unfortunately, Hikari has a level of seiso only obtainable from dense battle shounen protags, so that probably will never happen.

Nekoma Hirune: ??? Not enough to work with it but I guess Awa's trash game loving cat?

Eirai Sonokaze: ??? Awa's zoo keeper?

Houshou Marine: Wait, why is Marine on this list?... What do you mean she and Awa collabed 2 years ago and said that Awa has a voice that heals her?

...Well okay then...

Your Scar is so pretty I wanna wife him

sorry sorry he's currently focusing on his career as a zoo keeper (= catching and containing two eldritch horrors disguised as innocent snails) so he may not yet be ready for marriage :(

The Story behind Bobby's Aves

For anyone reading The Cormant, in the last AN I mentioned I'd share the story of Jack, the real life double crested cormorant that inspired the one I'm writing as Bobby's Aves in the fic.

Now that I have officially moved back to the East Coast, I feel like I can share that for the past handful of years, I was living in St Louis. I'm actually going to include some real places from the STL area in the fic; it's kind of my love letter to the city because I love it and know I'm gonna miss living there.

One of the best parts of St Louis is that they have an amazing zoo that is free to the public (it's accredited and they do a lot of great conservation work; it's free due to city taxes, not sketchy reasons lol). Seriously, if you're ever in STL you have to go.

Anyway, the zoo has a flight cage that was initially built for the 1904 World's fair. That flight cage has been remodeled as the Cypress Swamp and now serves as a home to rescued native wild birds that cannot safely be released back into the wild. You can see photos and read more about it here.

Jack is one of those birds. He's a feisty double crested cormorant that is missing most of one of his wings.

I have two personal stories of encountering Jack that made me love him.

The Cypress Swamp has a boardwalk that you walk through with no barriers between the people and the habitat. For the most part the birds keep to the water and trees or areas that aren't directly in the path, but they can technically be on the path if they want to be. That is what happened the first time I met Jack.

My wife and I were on the boardwalk, probably admiring some of the ducks, and when I turned back to continue walking down the path, the cormorant was right in the middle of it.

I'd seen cormorants plenty of times in the wild, but I'd never been that close to one before. They're quite intimidating birds, but in a beautiful/breathtaking way! I was rather taken with him, and also quite amused that he refused to budge (it wasn't like he expected food or anything from us, he just wanted to Be There and wasn't gonna let anyone stop him). He stepped closer a couple times, and I'm always on the cautious side of being respectful of wildlife, so I was a bit frozen with what to do. I think we ended up just kind of waiting, and then another family walked by first, and we realized we could pass with bothering him or him bothering us. But I was just so taken with how defiant he was in his place.

The second time was when I learned his name. There was a keeper at one of the entrances/exits, and there was a hold up to leave the flight cage because of Jack. He was trying to sneak into the crowd to escape the flight cage, and the zookeeper was essentially having to corral him away from the door. She was using the opportunity to tell the stalled families about Jack and double crested cormorants.

My wife asked her "is your job in the flight cage to make sure Jack doesn't escape?" and she responded "technically no but it feels like about 80% of it." She also told us that they'd recently gotten a female cormorant resident and Jack was being a bad influence and teaching her how to try to escape as well lol.

So yeah, that's the story of Jack. The initial story of The Cormant was inspired by the song I linked in the first chapter of the fic, but as I started creating the actual character of Bobby's Aves, after meeting Jack twice, I knew I had to write him in it. He's just so bold and feisty and beautiful, it felt right for him to be a part of Bobby's soul.

Wist has a new Fae friend (for now, the Djinn is amused by her and she reminds him a little of his wife...)

Kay and Ace walked in circles for hours until the meeting had ended, and they found Wist sitting at the picnic spot, alone. Wist now has a coal (she somehow feels like if she lights it on fire, the weird fae will show up)

And Kay stepped on green goo and heard a distant laugh. Nobody else heard that. It must have been the wind.

And then The Djinn went to harass the zoo keepers. They still have no idea how the non-magical animals managed to perform an acrobatic circus act while juggling apples. But no cameras caught anything.

@wisteria-and-crocuses @the1920sisntaphasemom

Shdhdhd that’s a wonderful ending to a fae encounter

[leehallfae]

“i can stay awake all night, if need be— / cold as an eel, without eyelids. / like a dead lake the dark envelops me, / blueblack, a spectacular plum fruit. / no airbubbles start from my heart, i am lungless / and ugly, my belly a silk stocking / where the heads and tails of my sisters decompose.”

— sylvia plath, “zoo keeper’s wife,” the collected poems (ed. ted hughes)

Book Recommendations: National Zoo Lovers Day

We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee

In the market for a house and an adventure, Benjamin Mee moved his family to an unlikely new home: a dilapidated zoo in the English countryside. Mee had a dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy.

But in 2006, Mee and his wife with their two children, his brother, and his 76-year-old mother moved into the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Their extended family now included: Solomon, an African lion and scourge of the local golf course; Zak, the rickety Alpha wolf, a broadly benevolent dictator clinging to power; Ronnie, a Brazilian tapir, easily capable of killing a man, but hopelessly soppy; and Sovereign, a jaguar and would-be ninja, who has devised a long term escape plan and implemented it.

Nothing was easy, given the family’s lack of experience as zookeepers, and what follows is a magical exploration of the mysteries of the animal kingdom, the power of family, and the triumph of hope over tragedy. We Bought a Zoo is a profoundly moving portrait of an unforgettable family living in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Zoo Story by Thomas French

Welcome to the savage and surprising world of Zoo Story, an unprecedented account of the secret life of a zoo and its inhabitants, both animal and human. Based on six years of research, the book follows a handful of unforgettable characters at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo: an alpha chimp with a weakness for blondes, a ferocious tiger who revels in Obsession perfume, and a brilliant but tyrannical CEO known as El Diablo Blanco.

Zoo Story crackles with issues of global urgency: the shadow of extinction, humanity's role in the destruction or survival of other species. More than anything else, though, it's a dramatic and moving true story of seduction and betrayal, exile and loss, and the limits of freedom on an overcrowded planet-all framed inside one zoo reinventing itself for the twenty-first century.

The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman

A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. When Germany invaded Poland, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw―and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants―otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes.

With her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman engages us viscerally in the lives of the zoo animals, their keepers, and their hidden visitors. She shows us how Antonina refused to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her.

[ssluggishh]

that hornbill art is making me think about the rhinoceros hornbill pair we have at my city's zoo. last time we went the keeper came out to feed them and it was so fascinating to watch bc the male kept giving his bird wife every other treat. i looked up the behavior after i got home and apparently the male does this to maintain their bond and its just so so cool to me i love animals man

SBFC 002: The Feel of a Podcast

Pat: Are you eating nuts?? Are you GOING NUTSSS?!

They discuss how podcast names should be naturally made during the episode’s runtime. Matt bangs out the title of this episode in under 90 seconds.

Dork Girl cameos in the background this episode. [She’s Woolie’s now-wife, right? Man, they did record at his place for a long time.]

Liam played Muchi Muchi Pork!, a bullet hell game. They force Liam to talk about it after trying to skim past it. Pat asks if the girls are over 18, Liam is confident at least 2 are. [I imagine most of them aren’t.]

Woolie calls AoT Shingeki no Koijin, Pat hates it. Dork Girl says just call it SNK, with leads into a conversation about abbreviations having overlap. FF is Final Fantasy, Fatal Fury, and Final Fight.

Pat proposes GoW, which is God of War and Gears of War.

Liam: Gears of War is ‘Gears’ to me.

Matt: And I always call God of War ‘Disappointing.’ But so is Gears Judgment.

[all go awwww]

Pat: It’s true though.

Liam: This is the first con I’ve been to in seven years where someone didn’t say ‘The Game’ as a phrase. [Got your ass 10 years later lmao, good job Liam]

Matt goes to the zoo to see red pandas with his lady friend, who I’m sure is Crymetina. [She doesn’t listen to the podcast because Liam talks about anime; she’s a keeper.]

The older trio talk about Disney cartoons, which eventually leads to only Matt and Woolie talking about NES Disney games.

Pat: Man, I really didn’t have a childhood.

Pat watched The Wire in the week between episodes. Woolie states that Spike Lee, Alan Moore, and Obama [not Malik the other one] love the show; Pat calls them crazy Warlocks, Matt brings it together by saying they’re a cabal of warlocks that live in a cave, which Woolie finishes by saying they encircle The Wire dvd box set. They also say The Wire has ruined every other cop show. [I haven’t seen it but it’s probably true.]

Woolie played Journey with his gf; Pat played with “SmokesBluntz420”. He also caught up with AoT, he said he stopped watching anime after Gurren Lagann and AoT brought him back in. He loathes shitty fan translations, proceeds to shit on the correct translations without knowing. [What a shit time for anime, trying to pirate it was so not worth it.]

Matt: I haven’t watched [AoT] because I’m busy working.

Divekick talk. It came out 10 years ago today! Zubaz got updated to have Fighterpedia on his shirt. [They spent a lot of cash putting Zubaz in indie games, jeez.]

Matt: I want a Booty Call game made by Telltale.

[I forgot that a thing for a while, ‘have Telltale make your choice-based narrative game’. Well, everyone sure did. Turned out great I heard, even!]

Woolie: Ubisoft, who continue to actually slowly gain my respect agin…

[It’s always funny to see praise of a big game corporation from the past.]

Woolie’s point is that Ubisoft announced Child of Light, it is lead by the Far Cry 3 creative director. Essentially, he thinks it’s cool he went from doing AAA games to something a lot smaller. They are excited it’s running on the UbiArt Engine, at the time it was only used for the Rayman IP. He claims the dev team is also 1/3 women. [I wonder how many of them still work there since the shitty work culture was alive and well then.]

Pat describes the potential work culture of the company as “grind on a AAA game and make it sell well, then you can make whatever else for 2-3 years until we need you to make money." [It’s not an impossible idea, Obsidian made Pentiment in between their far bigger releases, for example. Again, it’s funny to think about Ubisoft workplace culture after knowing all the foul shit they’ve done.]

Barkley 2 talk. Truly a flash in the pan the first game was. They’re excited for it, Liam pledged a high enough tier on Kickstarter to get a CyberDwarf body pillow. [I wonder if he still has it.]

Games for Windows Live is officially closing. Woolie pairs it with EA Origin as ‘things that aren’t Steam that refuse to die.’ [Microsoft just rebranded the service with Xbox decals, it has cross-buy on select titles with the consoles; it also touts PC Game Pass more heavily than their actual store front. Origin just copied Game Pass’ model and is now bundled with GP.]

Killer is Dead launches to ‘tepid’ sales in Japan. It sold 20k on both consoles, Bionic Commando sold 24k. Matt argues that because the former’s sales are in Japan while the latter’s is in America, Bionic Commando still sucks more. They wonder why it sold the way it did, is it because people are tiring of Suda51? Lollipop Chainsaw is apparently the best selling Grasshopper game, Liam says. [Good job, James Gunn.]

Woolie says Poolside Identity is great, and that K. Dot’s Swimming Pools. [I prefer remixes over original songs too when they fuse niche things I like together, but jfc that’s a take alright.]

Gamescom predictions. Pat says they won’t announce an Xbox One Kinect-less skew. [He was right.] He also believes the earlier release of PS4 at a cheaper price will be a deciding factor. [Way too right.] Liam and Pat go back and forth over the decision of Xbox to go so hard with promoting Kinect, Liam is ‘I can see their business strategy for it’, Pat is ‘that shit is dumb’. Then there’s reference to the NSA news of the camera potentially spying on you, which they don’t go into because Matt and Woolie interrupt with talk of showing their cocks on Uno.

Sony at Gamescon predictions. “It’s going to be a big show for Vita, but it is a PS4 focused show,” so says John Sony. Pat wantsa Vita game, pushes back on “Vita is dead” claim by fans by saying 3 games for Vita would be a big show for the handheld. Woolie mentions that every game at the show for PS home consoles will be required to have remote play for the Vita.

Slightly off topic of Gamescom, they speculate on the rumor of a new Vita; they believe it’s so Sony can compete with a new Samsung phone called the Galaxy Mega, which has a 6.3in screen and a 720p resolution. Liam thinks the rumor is all crap. Liam finishes with reminding us that the Vita priced dropped in Japan to $210 USD, Pat comments that it needs a price drop and 2 more ‘killer apps.’ [Probably means for it to be successful in the West/North America].

[It’s funny to hear all the hopium for the Vita’s success, but not because it failed to perform and stay relevant. When you compare it to Sony’s new handheld (Project Q), it’s such a superior product and all it does better is just play games on its hardware without an internet connection. As someone who streams GamePass titles on my phone at work, it functions far better than remote playing from my Xbox; it’s still inferior to native hardware by a wide margin. The fact Project Q can *only* do remote play via wi-fi (as far as we know) is such a blow to this wretched device. Maybe Vita deserved better…]

FGC News:

Persona 4 Arena is getting an update, only is an arcade location test at the moment. They talk about new HUD stuff and character.

Woolie: You know what matters more to fighting games than story mode? Gameplay—

Matt: I don’t know about that. [Gottem, Matt]

Matt facetiously laments how Arcsys can make so many fighting games in so little time and Capcom can’t pull one together at all. They talk about game development; it’s not lost on anyone paying attention. Pat believes Arcsys is stealing Capcom’s crown when it comes to fighting game relevance. Matt is hyped for the newly announced Killer Instinct. Thunder looks awesome visually, Pat groans at the other’s excitement.

D4 talk. They say, “Twin Peaks”, the end.

Anime news. Space Dandy announced YEEEEEAH! They love the creator’s work but have some trepidation about the sexual nature of the show, Pat believes it’s tongue in cheek. [It is]. Liam also mentions the team’s interest in localizing the series and believes more anime should do it as well. [I want to say Space Dandy was one of the first ‘Simulcast’ anime, but idk for sure.]

Letter time, letter time.

“Why’s it called TheSw1tcher?”

Matt tells the story of how he beat his friend to school after he missed a train.

Pat: Oh god— I based my entire economic fortunes on this dumb joke??

“What game had the best soundtrack?”

Woolie: Katamari Damacy

Liam: Streets of Rage

Matt: Mario Galaxy 1

Pat: Anything by Simon Viklund

“Will Woolie ever cut his hair?”

Woolie: Never.

Matt: Unless Comicbookgirl19 tells you to.

“What does Liam think of Rwby?”

Liam didn’t watch it, they talk about Monty Oum’s former body of work. Mentions Xiao Xiao and Egoraptor. Dork Girl watched it, doesn’t have much of an opinion about it though.

“When will you nerds talk about Jojo All-star Battle?”

Pat bought it, importing will take it a while.

What’s coming up: Rustlemania, 2 new playthroughs. Maybe Matt’s Bomb-ass Zoo Adventure.

Koba: Cesar you awake?!

Ceasar: no...

Koba:we got company..

Ceasar:groannnn errrg! Nova what's wrong?!

In sign she says whispering I hear whispering among the others they say you cheated

Go back to bed hooman! koba barked

Then Caesar runs after Nova then at the river she crys and he says

I miss my family to

Then BOOOOOOOM! A SHIP OF SOME KIND CRASHED AND KOBA AND MORIEACE AKA MORIS COME RUNNING TO SHEALD THE CHILD

Ceaser: get the guns ready!

Woah woah woah! No need for guns of any kind were harmless

Says the man wearing strangely looking armor I'm bly commander bly of the 321st battalion! This is my dieing wife Aayla

I'm looking to secretly burry her he continued. Never gotten the chance to ask her to be my wife but um I'll be her husband in hell if I have to

Hello little ones?! You all but the girl look well???...

Apes?! We look like apes?!

Koba:Wot kinda hooman never heard of an ape before!?! Lmao!

Bly:Well I wasn't wanting to be rude by saying the word primitive but you look primitive like a prehistoric wooky! There I go agian that was totally rude and out of my caricture sorry for that I've been not the same after hearing wot sounded like the chansler calling me to execute the order we were all tasked with following

So the apes including rocket helped to burry the fallen general

Koba the sceptic remarked

koba: u were tasked with killing the very same creater u clame to have loved that we just put in her it's tomb?!

Bly:She her names Aayla she is who I was tasked with following orders from but yes I had no controll of my mind or actions I tried to not listen but wot was the choice I had

And your son is it?!

Ceasar:???

Bly:I mean to not offend but he and that Nova kid sure are cute

Bly:I take it you all had something some one to lose to?!

Yes my wife and eldest son blue eyes

Koba:We also before now lost our mothers except I was at a 3erd grade teaching when in zoo mother was not only shot at but koba was whipped over and over whipped in the eye to by drunk zoo keeper and he was ruthless when not drinking as well Cesar lost his mother from her trying to protect him shot by a bunch of officers and soldires!

Oh gee you guys I sincerely apologize!

Maurice: the armor?!

Bly: Oh yes. It protects me in battle tho not well enough to not have blaster holes in the chest or a lightsaber cut from a villain such as dooku...

Luka: what kind of hooman are you that you have crashed a ship from our skys?!

Clone I'm purley a clone of a bounty hunter by the name of jango fett he once adopted a non modified clone at birth who grew into his late fathers foot steps.

I think I need something in my head removed the small ship I crashed was formerly known as the Twilight it has a med Bay

You need seargan? Koba asked how do we trust a human if he had just killed the woman of his life with out questioning the wronging of this act

Yes koba I do need operation but not to worry once this implant is removed

Then a younger girl apiers with a greenish tan color to her skin POINTED EARS A WINTERY BLUE SET OF LOCKS THAT WERE PERFECTLY BRAIDED AND IN A MESSY BUN AND SMALL TUSKS and she called

MR KADGAR?! MR MAGE?! WHERE ARE YOU?! HELLO?! WHERE AM I?!

THEN BLASTERS AND SHUTGUNS LOADED THEY GET CLOSE AND BAD APE SAYS

Bad ape:LOOK TINY SHREADS OF FUR?!

HE IS MORE CURIOUS AND HE GETS THE BINOCULARS AND THEN AS THEY AND THE STRANGE BUT KIND SOLDURE MARCH CLOSER TO THE TREE LIGN THEY SEE A FAINT SHADOW IN THE TREES!

Nova sees the girl dropped something a more prehistoric looking doll with a animal tooth earring

she hears heavy but tiny footsteps running

Then one second later AWWWWW! THEY HEAR THE GIRL SCREAM!

Then they get closer to the screaming and then

Bly:Come out where we can see your hands!

Ceasar: ...

Neald to the ground and. Then a peace of more clothing lost

He smelled the cloth and said

ceasar: no one move let her come to us

Koba with a flashlight and laying his gun on the ground Nova sitting by the bushes with the girls favorate doll she takes a hand out with her nails looking like shed been chewing or plucking at them she grabbed the doll and then one eye peaking out while still scared she then looked behind her and the kind clone picked her and her doll up and had wrapped her up in Nova coat

He layed her by the fire and sat on a stone and then the apes puzzled to know where she came from and who she was.

Luka with more fire wood and rocket cooking some fish then a nother ship gently hovering above them it was a strangely tall girl in a yellow coat and her hair put up with five 6 more clones 2 being mayday and howzer then the remaining original bad batch members

echo wrecker hunter crosshair then mayday and howzer and omega who both daughter and sister landed safely on the ground

tech was up in heaven still watching the scene happen

The little half bread looked up and then back from greeting the gang with open arms they walked with bly to the encampment

I thought I left the order you told us! Koba said. I didn't abandon my Republic but I left the life of a soldier and the Empire after you know the story then the batch saw the timid cold next to Nova

Nova took out the sign bad ape let her keep and she pointed Nova

And she ...

Wots with that one wrecker asked

Oh that one's still kinda new and is a timid one koba looks at her and hands her her doll and goes what's your name She quickly hides her head and growls

Mayday covers her with a warm blanket and then crosshair .. Someone get her a pillow!

Rocket: he brings her part of the fish then she scarfed it down and noticing she is half naked she wraps the coat and blanket even tighter around her body

Then she says stormwind?!

And they look at her

Storm wind? No I'm omega. Omegaaa!

Gorela! Gorelaaa!

Then she says sadly home?!

Then one of them says along side seacar your home now is with us then she smiles and draws a map of her home village and ECT

Gorela: gorela home! As she points then drawing more in the dirt stars the moon and a bunch of clouds

Nova gorela omegaaa then they laugh as she entertaingly says orc! Me orc!

And kobas like orc?! THEN back on the ship hunter is looking for something for her to wear then wolffe stands behind her picked her up then Outch!

Little peace of!

Wolffe! Red and Cody yell relax you just friend her then she looking in to the ocean says stormwind home! As she cried her eyes out

Sigh koba get her... She pointing to the brightest star on the right says home storm wind home! And he's looking at her and goes what's a mage then she with her finger draws in the sand and she says magic

Oh. I see so a wizerd?! Well koba no see that here hun you are quite imaginative. Then they all quietly walk to her sit beside her and look at the pictures and then the sky

Then she looks at the ship and hunter comes quietly

Easy kid I only need to change you and I've picked out some pretty items for you to chose some of it is omegas old stuff

and mayday can I hold u now?! Won't bite me will you?!

She looks confused.

Then she picks up the broken goggles and tries them on

Then they slip off her face

Wolffe: strange and touchy little thing ain't she?!

Bly: well kid did somehow fall through time like we did brother I'm sure she ment nothing by it

then she sees an old bandana with a skull on it then a odd necklace with metal fingers on it

Then she found something of omegas and she tried each peace out and then got to omegas clothes and then

She heard some one say those got a bit broke try these on instead so I'm emiry karr you are

GORELA! GORELA DEATHCLAW THE MENICING!

THEN THE Apes and other adults start to laugh!

Koba: pft menicing?! You can't be that furce! Kid!

Then she sees something in omegas old room

A blue and burgundy and orange colord outfit then she changes into that and koba looks at her doll stitches it up then sees she likes bones and so he went to the other ship ..on the Twilight. He starts screening and then gets his hunting kit on and says

Koba: I'm going to be in search of something

Then he finds some metal and sea shells and found small animal bones and then gathered as much he could went back to the ship and talked to the medical droid

Az! I'm az!

Yeah yeah silly robot you got any extra light to barrow?!

Yes in deed we do here we go

good now. You got any twine or rope?! and then he got on the tablet previously found at the coronals bace and then turned it on and 3d printed some earring backings and he made her a bracelet to out of more tiny bones then he went back to the other ship and put the bandana over her eyes lady her flat on the ground and then wot he used to poke 2 holes in her ears with was made from a stapler and a old glue gun and then stopped the bleeding for a bit then he put the earring in one earlobe and then the left then tied the bracelet to her arm. And then hunted for some animal fur and as she played there

Wolffe: well not yet he's grabbing something he'll be back kid

It'll ruin his surprise for you crosshair says to the young girl with tusks.

Then he cleaned up the the animal fur and then placed 2 buttons on each half a clip back to clip the buttons to each end on the front and added a hood then he looks at her boots and sees the fur on them and the spikes and then painted the red on the Amor part of her boots pink and black and added a red sign resembling wot was from her home then he sits her up

And then the cloak went over her tunic which originally belonged to omega and then saw omegas old head dress nala'se gave her he added squirl bones to it and sea shells and then tied it to her head

Then echo got the idea of well I'll make her something to he crafted her a helmet of her own and gave it a wolf and in blood red he painted a 99 on it with some cat ears on it and wolffe got to work on her kama and then they changed up her wordrobe and then she looked at herself in the mirror

Nova: She signd to koba that they need to run to what was left of sanfrinsisco and ran to a Amazon shop that hadn't been used in ages due to the ape virus

And Nova found something in the kids section and found a thing of face hair

Next day they grabbed wot more they could pillows and bedding and a air mattress and back at the shipping dock and the stone cave which was a shared operation hidden in the one crevice of the cave was a upper ledge that they had made into her room and they got the electric to work and everything. Turned on

So your home world was destroid?!

Rampart: Yes you primitive fowl smelly!

Ok we get it!

well your nothing much prettyer! Says koba!

Stay tuned folks! For part 2 and 3

there's no cure for this ape-pocalypse
