IC: "Yeah, I'm much better. But there was some weird stuff they were on about, I tried to remember it. Do you want me to try to expalin what I know for now?" (OOC: I'm sorta getting fed up with saying 'screeched meaning 'simple action' and I wantes Shryke to 'talk' a bit more intelligently). Bet then he noticed the walk men, he hadn't been paying attention and was day dreaming a bit. Then the one that was left stopped suddenly.
(into walkie-talkie. Wait...walkie-talkie? Who's idea was that? Anyway...)"Hey, Joe, I heard something just now, maybe its those Mudo's you were on about"
"You kidding? right, I'll be back in a mo with JorD"
Two Sligs appeared.
"So, whats this I hear about Mudokons near here?"
"Look, picked Spooce!"
Jord observed it.
"You do know thats a Scrab bite mark there?"
"What? I thought it had been picked..."
"With a great hole in it like that? I doubt it. You two know nothing. I'm outta here..."
"Wait, Jord!"
Jord was gone.
"He's wrong. These are...hey, they do look like sharp teeth. Actually, thats obvious now...Joe, you're an idiot"
"Yeah, but Scrabs are meat eaters, aren't they?"
"Yeah, but Spooce has healing propertys. Many animals eat it when injured, probably with a fight wioth another Scrab..."
"But summat don' seem right. And wait...there was that Shrykull-thingamajigga that Lou tried to shoot earlier. There's alot of blood two. And look here...a bullet near this pool"
"...(picks up 'talkie again) Joe! get yer a*s back here! This was the thing that attacked Lou!"
"No kidding? I'll be right there!"
Judging from the current conversation, Shryke deduced they should go away from here. He got up slowly and started backing away, when he stepped on a twig (Oh, the irony), and the Sligs froze. Shryke froze also, but too late. The Sligs had seen him.
"There it is! The hideous thing of fake death! (Sligs and their stories, huh?) Quick, get him!"
"All Sligs charged with their batons. They wanted him alive. The Vykkers would pay a good sum for such a strange specimen. Shryke ran full pelt away...
