Wildheart, Forever

Magnus/Nico

Magnus

With all of the research expertly analysed (read:Sophie, Linh and Dex pulled an all-nighter), they now had to pick from an index of creatures that could be released into the forest. There were pros and cons, including how believable the creature would be.

Sadie was set upon releasing a flock of Boobries into the forest, which Keefe hopped right on board with. Both of them pouted when the cons list far outweighed the pros, causing the majority of the team to agree it wasn't a good idea.

The jackalope was a contender for a while, seeing as it would be somewhat plausible with all of the mythology behind the creatures. That idea was shot down when Jaz brought up the poaching industry, and how many rich people would want a taste of a real mythological creature, both figuratively and literally.

Other creatures were brought up, from recently 'extinct' creatures that had populations nearby to the most outrageous suggestions. When somebody suggested spreading thousands of tomples through the forest (*cough* DEX *cough*), Sophie finally stepped in and spoke.

"Okay, so now that you've got all your arguing out of the way, can I share my idea?"

Keefe smiled, flirtily saying "Of course, love."

Sophie whacked him, then pulled out a picture of a Northern Spotted Owl. Almost extinct, but Magnus had seen one before. They were beautiful birds, and the more he thought about it the more genius the idea was- they were within the range, and the smaller critters to prey on seemed to be everywhere.

Everyone cheered when Sophie sent the message out to the elf officials, letting them know the animal chosen for release. They were one step closer to saving the camp.

Nico

Nico didn't want to wake up that morning, knowing that the girls had signed them up to be the dinosaurs in the 'Dino Dinner' that some of the younger kids wanted to have.

Not only would he have to help with the actual setup, he would have to wear the inflatable T-rex suit that Sadie pulled out of nowhere.

Why did she even have this? And the worst part- when he had asked if there was anything... better for him to wear (since he was being forced to) and the things she pulled out were absolutely horrible.

Okay, they looked decent, but it was also extremely uncomfortable looking. He finally gave up and just took the T-rex costume when Sadie tried to get him into the Brachiosaurus costume with Keefe.

He was NOT going to do that, he would quite literally take a Piper-makeover before getting in an inflatable costume with that idiot. Nico knew he needed to face the day eventually, but maybe if he stayed there for one more minute, he'd wake up and discover the whole thing to be a giant nightmare.
