[closed] I'm still lost, walking circles.

[atalanta cyrene jaeger]

Hunter wandered aimlessly through the park, kicking a pebble along in front of her. She'd gone for a walk when the sun went down, hoping to find a quiet place to sit that didn't make her feel claustrophobic, and had stumbled upon this park. There had still been a few people around when she got there, so she'd walked around a bit, and now she had no idea which direction her apartment was in. 'Damn new town. I have no idea where anything is.'

Sighing, she glanced around quickly before ducking behind a shady trio of trees. 'Nothing to do about it 'til morning. Might as well have some fun while I can.' She unzipped her hoodie and slid it off, shivering in the nighttime chill. 'Won't be so bad once I've got fur again.' Her eyes and nails were already starting to change when she pulled her shoes off, but her fingertips were just brushing the hem of her shirt when she heard footsteps. She froze, glancing around. Her parents had always told her that it was safer to shift at night, but she wasn't sure. Nighttime was when the crazies came out, and this town was full of crazies.

Cory kicked at a pebble angrily, running a hand through his hair. The white powdered drug running through his system hadn't helped take away his thoughts. If anything it had left him with a bloody nose and uncontrolled anger and amusement. A bipolar feeling. He tossed his shirt aside behind a rock, peeking out at footsteps.

Familiar. He smirked. "Here kitty kitty." Stepping into view, he laughed almost drunkenly, and dropped his jeans. Smirking, he kicked off the last of his clothing, shifting and pouncing towards her with a purred sound. He circled her once, then bolted, dark, faintly spotted body lithe and quick.

Hunter stood frozen when the dark, spotted body circled her. She was faintly irritated by the fact that he'd said "kitty" (couldn't anyone be more creative?), but she forgot about it in her excitement. Another Panthera! She'd never met another feline-shifter outside of her family, hadn't even been sure that there were any. And yet, here a man with fur like hers.

When he bolted, she automatically wanted to chase him. Shedding her clothing, she sprinted after him with a sound somewhere between a purr and a growl. It was rather difficult to catch up with him--he was fast, and it'd been a few days since she'd really gotten a chance to stretch her legs--but she pounced as soon as she was close enough, crashing into his shoulder to knock him over. Purring quietly, she flattened her ears at him.

Cory stumbled with a yowl in complaint, the dose of drugs leaving him already hazy-minded. He collapsed in the grass, blue feline eyes watching her lazily. Batting a paw at her, lips curled up to bare his teeth at her smaller female form. It sure wasn't like messing with Kylie, a pirate teacher at the school he had been at recently. But it was somebody to play with. Better than thinking of past and present problems.

His tail flicked and he pushed himself to his paws, muscles rippling as he shook off. He stalked towards a tree, crouching, and leaped up with ease, disappearing into the branches.

Hunter pawed back at him, startled by the bright blue of his eyes. She'd never known if eye-color was the same in feline form as it was in human, because everyone in her family had yellow eyes like ordinary jaguars. Now, she guessed that it probably was. Unless some felines had blue eyes. Again, she'd never seen one outside her family.

She yowled softly in complaint when he disappeared into the branches. He wasn't going to be much fun if he gave up that easily. She stalked towards the tree and circled it a few times, gazing up at the dark body in the branches, then turned away, tail-tip twitching, sulking a bit.

Cory crouched, eyes peering from the branches.
With a flick of his tail he pushed away, landing softly on the ground beside her and bowling her over. He lowered himself tauntingly, streaking back across the grass again, tail straight behind him as he bounded off.

He paused after a moment, looking over his shoulder, tail tip twitching.

Hunter yowled when he pushed her over, and rolled back onto her paws, purring when he bolted again. 'Looks like we might have some fun after all.' So, she bounded after him, slowing to a fast lope when he paused. Why had he stopped? She lowered herself into a crouch when she got close and crept forward, tail twitching. She was acting like a cub and she knew it, but she was excited about having found someone to play with. Solitary as she usually was, she was used to her siblings' company, and she'd been just a little bit lonely since she'd moved here.

Cory watched her near. And as soon as she was in pouncing range, he spun and took off the way he had come, circling the tree and scrambling up. He waited for her to pass before dropping and tackling her down from behind.

Light blue eyes gleamed triumohantly, whiskers twitching at he bared his teeth in a cat-ish smile, a purr rumbling in his chest before he let off and stepped back, watching her.

'Cheater!' As soon as he'd stepped back, Hunter bounced to her paws, spun around, and tackled him to the ground. Reaching out one large paw, she whacked him on the top of the head with it. 'Tag, you're it.' She jumped away from him and quickly bounded away, leaping into the tree he'd ambushed her from. Being smaller than him, she wasn't able to jump quite as high, and had to scramble a bit to get onto the branch she'd been aiming for. 'Very graceful. She jumped from that branch to a higher one, then lay down on it, staring down at him with large yellow eyes.
