IT'S BURNING || EMERGENCY MEETING

[rhosmari]

LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? THEN YOU GOT GOOD VISION
BOY, THIS BEAT HITS SO DIFFERENT.

The heat was almost unbearable, the way the sun shown down and with her light colored pelt she was baking. She almost felt as if her skin was seared as she looked up at the sky. These conditions were bad but for them to last so long and only seemingly getting worse it seemed like it wouldn't stop any time soon. Her chest heaved and the dry air seemd to choke her. They needed to talk about this and formulate a plan. With prey starting to dwindle the Luminary had already taken up giving her meals to others. Swamp water was starting to shrink up as well. This was not looking good. If that water was going surely their clean water supply was also dwindling. Trying to swallow and get her resolve back the lioness made her way to the center of town. Her eyes narrowed and she tried to keep a steady step. She wasn't feeling too well today either but she didn't have time to rest.

"She is calling an emergency meeting!" The Luminary finally roared out before she sat down heavily. Her tail curled around her last and she shook her head. Trying to clear the haze. This was important. They needed to get everything straight so that they can at least prepare for the long run of this weather. As others began to gather her vision swam but she ignored it. Pulling back her shoulders. "This weather...she can see that it is getting bad. We need to begin collecting as much water as possible and try to find a way to store food. Food can not be left outside as it will rot very quickly in the heat of the sun. A store house is much preferred. She would like a hunting patrol to try and gather what they can. Do not over do it as this heat is getting stronger by the day." Each movement of her body sent up puffs of dust from the dry and baking ground. It definitely didn't look good.

Moth is missing. She will ask for search pstrols to other groups..." A pause, one that she slowly blinked before trying to come back to her senses. "Other groups... We need to find her." Her brow furrowed as she looked down to her paws, struggling with her own consciousness. She felt sicker and the edged of her vision were going darker. Tunneling. "This meeting....this meeting..." She couldn't get the words out. She was getting confused before suddenly it struck and she passed out, her chin colliding with the ground.

[Ares]

ARES THERVOS

Something was wrong. Extremely wrong. The heat was getting worse. Extremely worse. Even Requiem was unnerved. It happened over a span of a few weeks, rapid heat. The call. Emergency. Yes, what else could this be? But she could see Elsweyr's face, the heat was getting to her. To everyone. But it was bad. So, so bad.

She paid attention, eyes focused on her mother for signs of something wrong. At the announcement of Moth's disappearance, her body stiffened. That meant... that... And then Elsweyr dropped. Her paws moved on her own, an energy surging in them. Urgency. "Pretty-Mother!" She yelped, skidding to a halt next to the lioness. She couldn't do anything but call for help. "Someone get Seven! Get Elsweyr to Moth's house, Seven can help." She simply yelled to the group that had gathered. Don't just stand there! Don't just stand there!

Cursing under his breath, the cheetah grit his teeth against the heat. He handled the heat better than plenty of animals better adapted to the cold, but even he languished under the weather. He couldn’t cool down; he’d hunted, sprinted at top speed, this morning, and his body still hadn’t cooled completely.

“Elsweyr!” he hissed. Trotting to her, he stood opposite to Ares and nosed his sister.

His leather wings, previously drooped to his side, stood up on his back.

[COLERE!]

Colere Kokytos

The hell? His red eyes flicked towards everyone before looking back at Els, passed out onnthe ground. "Don't just stand there, help her" he snapped towards the members that stood there before quickly being the third to approach Ares and Ximen "She needs water to cool down and we need to move her to shade unless Moth's house is close by" the male said coolly. He wasn't much of help, he was too small to help carry and due to his limp, too slow to get any shade.

His tail flicked slightly, why did he cared anyways? This wasn't his problem, it was the healer's issues, if there was a second one around. Slowly he backed up a bit. "Check her temperature, I'll go find water for her, in case anyone wishes to join I'll be heading out quickly as possible" he stated. They're fine, Els might be his leader but he hardly knew her and he would just tell himself that it was not his problem over and over again. His golden gaze darken as he took a few steps away "Who ever does come, I hope at least one of you know where Moth's house is" he grumbled.

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

tired eyes, barely open ,
crippled by a promise broken !

The heat was getting worse, but Atbash had to keep reminding her that this would end soon. Hopefully. The savannah was slowly losing hope and she worried that maybe she and Elsweyr had lied to Starmap when they both told her that the rains would come. Atbash was silent at first when she came to the meeting, but jumped up quickly as Elsweyr fell into unconsciousness. Shit! The savannah rushed to the Luminary's side, focusing hard on the limited amount of water surrounding camp. With as much as she could muster with exhaustion, Atbash use her elemental powers to manipulate dew and water - the little of it that was around - and moved her paw towards Elsweyr's head, attempting to splash the Luminary. At least to try and cool her down a little bit.

[VIGENERE CIPHER.]

[glow=white,1,400]SCREAMING AT THE ONES WE LOVE ! — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

Like everyone else, Vigenere was worried about the heat. Not only was prey becoming short and the water scarce, but the heat could cause flames. Something he didn't want to personally experience again, but he was mostly concerned for Atbash. She almost died in flames too. Not to mention, the way Snowbound had been destroyed by flames. God damn, it seems as if they couldn't escape it despite not being fire manipulators like Caesar.

"I do, come on." Vigenere ordered Colere, watching Atbash rush off towards Elsweyr and flicking an ear before looking at the person he was speaking to. Vigenere padded off, towards the direction of Moth's home, not bothering to look back to see if Colere was following.[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]

[CHALICE AKAODON.]

[glow=white,1,400]DEEP IN THE OCEAN, DEAD AND CAST AWAY ! — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

Being a lioness, Chalice was somewhat accustomed to the heat - though she could understand why Elsweyr might be having a bit more trouble controlling her own body temperature, considering the woman seemed to almost always be ablaze. It wasn't hard to notice her clanmates suffering, though admittedly Chalice wasn't sure what she could do, and it was... upsetting. She was frustrated, mostly at herself, for not being able to help her clanmates. They offered her a place to stay, the least she could do was try and help them out.

Chalice was not expecting Elsweyr to actually collapse during the meeting though. Chalice jumped to her paws seeing the leader fall, flattening her ears. Shit, shit. Atbash seemed to be already handling the problem, as was Vigenere and Colere - what with the latter mentioning Moth and the former heading towards her home. Chalice... wasn't sure what to do, honestly. So the lioness just stood there, watching with wide eyes and her ears flattened.[glow=white,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]

Paradox had only just arrived to the tail end of the meeting when Elsweyr ended up collapsing in front of them. Panic quickly errupted within the group, the sun's rays that beat down on them not at all helping anything. Lust quickly looked around, gaze frantic as they questioned what they should do to help but it almost seemed as though everything was taken care of. The panther took notice of the panicked lioness near by, their paws picking up and drawing the feline closer to Chalice. They would attempt to brush their tail against her leg in a sign of greeting and comfort, hoping to help calm the other. Lust may not exactly know the lioness but they didn't appreciate seeing their clanmates distressed and there wasn't much more they could do to help the situation at hand.

An emergency meeting? If she was being honest, hearing that sent a wave of anxiety through Arrow, which was something she didn't often feel. It made sense, given the circumstances, but she still failed to make it on time, sluggish as all hell and making the normally short walk to the statue felt longer than ever. Walking caused her to feel almost sick in this heat, but health be damned, Elsweyr called and so Arrow would arrive...eventually. The cheetah was rubbing her face when he finally got over there, listening to the orders that had been given about the preservation of their herbs and water, a hunting party standing out in the back of her mind. The words had been formed, something about forming the party to look for what remained, right as the Luminary hit the ground.

"Holy fuck!" Arrow followed behind the others in shocked cries, with the only difference is her instinctual, meat head brain telling her to fix the issue in any way possible, which processed as "move to shade. get going.", and not much else. Half-running up to the fallen lioness, trying to conserve what little energy she had, Arrow grabbed hold of Elsweyr and shifted the bigger woman onto her own back. Moth's house, yes? Ah, her muscles burned. [b]"Check her temperature later, we're moving now." Arrow snapped her teeth at Colere, not particularly in any attempt to intimidate the male, more so just out of her own concern and worry. And off she went, lugging the flaming lioness while adrenaline replaced her own fatigue.
