kenai:
I pay absolutely no attention to the raccoon scurrying up the tree at my presence. I smell the fish Koda caught, and immediately run toward them.
"Jackpot! 3 fish, just for me." I was hungry, and as such, a little careless in thinking others had to eat, too.
Koda:
I say a rushed "Thanks, Nita." to her as she says something about berries, and keep running after Kenai. Just then I saw the raccoon with one of my fish.
"HEY! Give that back, it's for us, not you!" I start to climb the tree...

Nita watches, bemused, as Koda rushes off after Kenai. She picks up the branch and walks after them, hanging back to avoid whatever quarrel they seem to be getting into this morning. It's a little too early for games. She sees Kenai with the fish and hurries toward him, about to remind him that there are others who haven't had breakfast, when Koda shouts something and begins climbing a tree. Nita stops in mid-step to look.
The raccoon looks down and his eyes go wide. He puts the fish back in his mouth and starts climbing again; he's a little faster than a bear cub, but he doesn't dare stop. He hastily looks left and right for any branches within leaping distance, but it's hard to focus in this panic. He keeps going up.

kenai:
Koda's shouts brought me back to reality. I look up to see Koda chasing the raccoon, who had apparently stole his fish. It was such a funny sight I nearly choked on my fish.
"Go Koda! Get that fish back from that mean ol' Raccoon!
Koda turns and glares at me. Then I see him stand up on his hindlegs, jump, grab the branch the raccon's on and shake vigorously. Tears were streaming down my eyes.
I looked at Nita to see her reaction.

OOC: Sure, it's okay with me. ^^ Also, glad you're interested, Leif! BIC: Nita catches Kenai's glance. She can see tears of laughter in his eyes. Nita, on the other hand, looks worried. What if Koda falls? What if the raccoon turns on him? She goes to stand at the base of the tree in case Koda needs to be caught; how strange to see the familiar scene reversed. It is sort of funny, now that she thinks about it. It'll be funnier if it ends without anyone getting hurt. The raccoon wraps his limbs around the violently quaking branch he now finds himself on, digging his claws in the bark to hold on for dear life. He can see a branch from another tree in front of him, almost within reach; he inches slowly along the branch, but it whips more wildly further out from the trunk. The motion is making him dizzy...he bites down hard on the fish, concentrating. Carefully, he reaches out for the other branch...it's swinging in and out of reach... His claws grab hold. Taking a risk, he releases his other paws from the swinging branch and clings to the new one, hanging by his front paws. He doesn't have time to look back, as now he must focus on pulling himself up.

Koda:
I saw the raccoon was getting dizzier and dizzer by the moment as I shake the branch wilder and wilder. As he takes hold of the branch in front of him with one paw, I seize the moment by climbing up one tier, jumping and tackling the raccoon out of the air. We land safely on a wide branch in another tree.

Safely for the bear, maybe. The raccoon lands roughly on the branch, the air forced painfully out of his lungs. He releases the fish to gasp for air, but holds it to the branch with a paw.
"Ingrate!" he gasps, clutching the fish with both paws now. "This is what I get for letting greedy bears into my home!" Never mind that it's not really his home; he's going to milk this supposed sacrifice for all that it's worth. "Free breakfast wasn't part of the deal, kid."

OOC: Er, your post is taking control of my character. The fish couldn't fall when I had just said he was holding on to it, and there's no way Koda could get it fast enough to be before the raccoon knew it.
Also, you shouldn't make off-topic posts in a roleplay; that's what the PM system is for.

OOC: starting at we land in the tree...really sorry about that!!! Complete accident =(((
BIC:Koda
"Your cave? You don't own that cave! And as for the fish, you stole that from me!"
I make a lunge for the fish, but lose my balance and topple off the branch. I manage grab ahold onto the branch with one paw.
OOC: Kenai (Sorry again!!!! =((( )
"KODA!!!" My laughter was cut short as I see Koda falling from the branch in the tree. I race over to the base of the tree next to Nita and start climbing it.
"Hold on, Koda! I'm coming!!!"

OOC: It's okay, don't worry about it. Thanks for fixing it. ^^
BIC:
Nita has stood up on her hind legs, trying to figure out where Koda will land if he falls, when Kenai appears beside her and starts climbing the tree. With a gasp she steps aside, watching him nervously -- it seems dangerous for him to be climbing trees after yesterday, but she doesn't stop him. She just wonders how he's going to get down this time; it was easier when there was snow on the ground.
"Kenai, be careful!" It's all she can do, and she feels horrible to be so helpless.
The raccoon is leaning against the trunk of the tree, where he had scrambled for safety as soon as he felt Koda's lunge miss. Now that he sees what happened, he feels a pang of concern for the cub. Stuffing the fish in a small hollow -- to a chattering of protest from the squirrels that live in there -- he slowly crawls down the branch, careful not to jostle it.
"Er, hang in there, kid," he says nervously, hoping the bear doesn't bite him or anything. He leans down and reaches out with both forepaws to grab the cub's free paw. He's too heavy to lift up, but if he can just hold him there until the big one gets in range...

Koda:
I look down nervously at the ground...We're really high up! I hadn't noticed it before, when both my feet were on the ground...
I also see Kenai running toward me.
"Kenai! Help!!!" As I look back up I see the raccoon trying to help me by reaching out with both of his paws. I take hold of them with my "free" hand.
Kenai:
Halfway up the tree, I stop when I hear Nita tell me to be careful.
"I'm fine! You should be worried about Koda!"
I get to the branch below Koda, and attempt to stand up on my hindlegs. it works, and i feel secured on the branch.
"Ok, Koda. Now when I say let go, let go! ...1, 2, 3...LET GO!"
Koda drops from the branch (and paw) he was hanging onto and i catch him safely.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!"

OOC: I'm the new koda... and for the record, I RP in the third person and past tense.. BIC: As Koda heard his brother telling him he was going to have to let go, a chill shot up the cub's spine. ' What if he drops me?!' he thought to himself. This was going to be a true test of trust between the two. Before he knew it, he heard a big "LET GO!" from his brother. Koda slammed his eyes shut and let go. Before he knew it, he was lying in Kenai's arms. He looked up at his brother to hear "Dont ever scare me like that again!"... The shaken up cub just looked back at Kenai, panting with wide opened eyes. He tried to speak, but couldn't, so thew his arms around the Bear.

OOC: Welcome, Midnight! :3
BIC: Nita sighs with enormous relief when Kenai catches Koda; she leans against a different tree for support, because her legs feel weak from fear. It won't be over for her until Kenai's on the ground, though; the sight of him standing on that branch makes her nervous.
The raccoon almost falls off the branch because he doesn't release his grip on Koda at quite the same time that Koda lets go of him; he stops himself, though, and pulls himself back up to hug the branch like he did before, gasping for breath again.
Behind him, the squirrels are arguing over how to get the fish out of their den, trying to force it through at different angles. Hearing them, he suddenly moves with remarkable agility back to the trunk. "Yes, um, that's mine...yes, I'm sorry, ma'am...I can get you something to take care of the smell, for the right...okay, it'll be on me, just this once...look, it's dead, it doesn't bite...for the love of...!"
