Creature Collectors (non-human User)

The wind rustles through the trees around you, the cool breeze reminding you of the quickly approaching winter. A slight rustle in the leaves behind you draws your attention... But it is only a squirrel, one that is not currently paying you any mind. It is too busy collecting acorns. The afternoon sun shines through the trees, casting a calming, warm green light on the rocks around you. It is a perfect day, as if nothing could go wrong. Another slight sound from the bushes near you can be heard. Is it really worth paying attention to, though..?

The wind howls around you, snow blustering past. Your steps leave prints in the cold sheet of white that covers the ground, the mountainous region around you not providing much cover from the storm. There is a cave nearby, you know this - it is your home, after all. All you need to do is get there, and you will be safe. However, as you reach the cave, you notice something. Two humans, sitting around a small crackling fire at the cavern's entrance. They have invaded your home... What will you do?

The blistering sun shines down on the sand around you, wind sending small pebbles and dried-up plants tumbling across the desert. The nearest oasis is about a day's travel from here... You'll probably need to try and hurry if you want to make it there in time. On the golden horizon, you see two specks slowly moving closer... But, it's no big deal, right? It's probably just a couple of camels or something. Right?

A bustling city surrounds you, the hot sun making the concrete ground unpleasant to walk on and the thick scent of exhaust clogging your nose. It is an unpleasant place for a creature like yourself to live, but the food is good, and there's plenty of shelter... So you can't complain too much. People pass the alleyway you rest in without notice of what lurks only a short distance away from them, but that's for the best. It means you might be able to pick a few of them off, or at the very least, steal something useful from their bags. Two humans across the street glance towards you, whispering to each other. It probably isn't a big deal though, right?

The sun filters through the water above you, promising good weather and a nice temperature for a day or two to come. In the far distance you can see a small fishing boat, floating near a beach where humans wander the warm sand. It shouldn't be a problem, though... You're a good distance from it, and it's unlikely that they would want to mess with a creature like you anyway... Right?

The forest, once calm and peaceful, had suddenly descended into madness. It started with two humans, walking through the woods. Now, the whole area was silent, every creature that knew what was good for them staying hidden away. Those who didn't? They ran. They stampeded through the clearings and past old trails, fleeing the humans who threatened them. When it seemed that things couldn't get much worse, a truck came, a third human within who brought cages and crates. The three worked together, tranquilizing everything that moved and locking the creatures up. They are getting closer to you, now. What will you do, if anything at all?

You were abandoned. It's the most accurate way of telling things. You'd once been cared for by humans, then one day... They were gone. They'd left you behind in this place that you now call home, with no way to leave on your own. You don't know exactly why, can hardly even remember how long it's been since you last saw them... But now, you hear something. Footsteps. Unfamiliar, yet at the same time, you know what they are. Humans- two of them, maybe three. A feeling deep within you stirs, but what that feeling is, exactly, is difficult to tell. Hope? Betrayal? Perhaps it was nothing at all.
