The net was lowered from the sky, a pair of unconscious bodies lay on top of the pile of goods.
The crowd surrounding the square was large.
Half of the community were in their dens or nests, a 1/10th of the whole community lay isolated from everyone else, they were the Outsiders
An outsider was a person; who had more than one animal hybrid, these people were shunned and looked down upon with frowns.

Then, one of the ropes supporting the descending net snapped.
Half of the community near the net, either rushed forward to steady the swaying net, or laid down; basking in the warm glowing sunlight pouring down from the clouds.

"Steady 'er lads" Bellowed a large man with the trunk & strength of an elephant.
The voices below must have awakened the two sleeping strangers, and the first stranger (a girl) with bunny ears — started screaming in french.
"Be quiet!" Snapped a ginger haired woman below, her small hands pressing against the net as it swung dangerously on an angle.
"Listen ter Nixie mate" Grunted Lee (The elephant man) — the french woman stopped screaming and clamped her mouth shut, her large eyes scanning across the area.
Her eyes landed on a large, scaly grey man, with large pointed teeth and a dorsal fin.
She screamed and passed out, laying limp in the air.
Nixie rolled her eyes and at last, the net was safely on the ground, both people were safe and sound.
Nixie wiped her dirt covered hands on her sleeve, and used her claws to slice open the ropes.

The boy (who was in the net long with the french girl) looked around nervously, and his hands went up to scratch his head in confusion.
Long pointed wolf ears poked out of his head and he screamed, turning around in circles — and everyone gasped in shock, on his back were a pair of white, glowing wings.
"He's an outsider!" An eagle man yelled, and a young mouse woman fainted into the arms of her tiger husband.
"Take 'im away!" Lee shouted, and Nixie (Along with the shark boy — Peter, and a penguin girl — Elise) took the screaming outsider boy away.

No one seemed disturbed by this, after all outsiders were a common thing.
Everyone went away to different corners of the place, and some stayed behind — getting all the supplies out of the net.
After a long day of hauling goods into the storage shed — the sun set, basking the area in the darkness slowly.
"Get back to your homessss, night hasss fallen" Hissed a snake woman and everyone scrambled back to their dens, not one looking up at the full moon rising rapidly into the night sky.

Tonight was a lunar night — night of the feral's.
