manuela: gray long-eared bat

rayner: olm

salesa: sea otter

simon: dodo

elaboration below !

jon: common raven

this was a choice i made before i even finished listening to the podcast back in 2020. jon's 1000% a bird to me, and the curious nature of corvids works well here. plus, i think a bird so universally ominous as a raven works perfectly as a horror protag :P i used to draw raven!jon with a couple troodon traits, mostly just cus it was fun, but i wanted to make my designs more grounded for this iteration. made them plantigrade, didn't get silly with body styles like i have with mp100 designs.

martin: tan jumping spider

if you've been here for a while you'll know that my furry martin has gone through about two million iterations. he started off as a european pine marten, to bold jumping spider, to chinese pangolin, to nine-banded armadillo, finally to nurse shark.

out of all of these the spider and the shark are my favorites. i wanted to go back to the jumping spider though- the design is really fun and i wasn't able to get the expressions right, but i'm more confident in my skills now and i'm having fun with the design. i may revisit nurse shark at some point. i switched from bold to tan jumper- i originally chose bold just cus they're my favorite jumper, but their stark black/white and iridescent aqua coloration just doens't work for martin. so, the tan jumper!

sasha: southern flannel moth

another old choice. species chosen because of a friend's fic, pharos by right (another i'm planning to reread now that i'm dipping my toes back into tma..)! southern flannel moths are poofy and orange, and their caterpillars are those super painful teddybear ones. i really like the design.

not!sasha: red postman

wanted to have her be another lepidopteran, and with all the many examples of mimicry among the group i thought red postman was a fun choice. doesn't look anything like a southern flannel moth, but that's sort of the point.

tim: jackson's chameleon

yet another choice from the oldtimes- most of the main characters are, i've mostly switched around the more secondary chars. first suggested, i believe, by @/ofdreamsanddoodles. i think there's something very fun about chameleons being basically a living mood ring & tim's Descent s1-3 showing physcially not just through the worm scars but through like, constant stress coloration during s3.

melanie: eastern copperhead

one of my favorite choices. i have a young copperhead specimen named after her. this one is quite vibes-based, but i do really like the copperhead as a viper that is not deadly. and i'm always a sucker for the "animal perceived as scary and violent that in actuality only strikes when under extreme stress" thing in furry assignments.

georgie: triceratops horridus

another favorite choice. visually, i really like how this works out, and trikes as a social and protective animal works well. she's literally got a shield on her face. horridus was chosen because i like the shape of the head and horns better than prorsus.

basira: domestic cat (calico shorthair)

got a little cat/dog thing going on for dasira. i like the inversion of the usual cat/dog dynamic with their unhealthy devotion instead, and visually it just works very well for them both.

daisy: domestic dog (german shepherd)

yeah i know this one's an exceedingly obvious choice.

elias: barn owl. jonah: eurasian eagle owl.

it's the institute logo! it's him! barn owl for elias specifically because of its very sleek look, designing him went fantastically. also, i can make the eagle owl's face disk work as a mimicry of ben meredith's muttonchops, which i think is a fun design bit to give to magnus.

gerry: domestic dog (black doberman)

certified gerryguy @/gerrydelano's choice. to quote a discord message from 3 years ago (sorry ron): "i feel like.........my INSTINCT is some kind of canine because like. the whole symbolism thing about being either an obedient or rabid dog. something something muzzled all your life. being a dangerous figure if people only see the silhouette but you just want scritches and nobody'll get close enough to you." black dog symbolism + breed which has ears cropped and tail docked, unecessarily molded for a Purpose which the dog has no say in

annabelle: white-booted racket-tail

sort of my original choice- she used to be part white-booted racket-tail, part anna's hummingbird. kept with the racket-tail cus it's fun and very cute. i've had a couple people express surprise that she wasn't a spider, but i think that's way too obvious. hummingbirds, though- they steal the webs of spiders to use as material to make their nests, but can sometimes become trapped in the webs and eaten by the spiders themselves. which is probably the metaphor-via-fursona-assignment i'm most proud of in this whole list

jane: cabbage white

the cabbage white is a butterfly whose caterpillars are routinely parasitized by the parasitoid wasp the white butterfly parasite. in case you're not familiar, parasitoid wasps lay their eggs on (usually) caterpillars, which hatch on the still-living caterpillar, devouring it from the inside before eventually emerging from the consumed husk of the host. also, i really liked the image of parasitoid wasp larvae emerging from an adult butterfly, rather than a caterpillar.

michael: spiny softshell turtle

for michael and helen, i wanted to choose animals which were, in some way, their own home. turtle is an obvious choice- and spiny softshells are a favorite of mine, and sufficiently strange-looking.

helen: common hermit crab

see previous entry. also please google "hermit crab without shell"

oliver: black vulture

bit of an obvious choice, but i adore vultures so i had to. black vulture chosen because i think the monochrome color scheme + straighter face work better than a turkey vulture for him

peter: risso's dolphin

i really like the idea of a cetacean for peter and the lukases as a whole, a famously social animal for the seemingly contradictory nature of this lonely-but-huge family, plus with so many cetaceans being endangered getting that lonely angle (risso's specifically are not, though, as peter is lonely through his own choice, not by circumstance).

mike: caelestiventus hanseni

it's a dimorphodont. he feels like a pterosaur to me, and i like the idea of a vast avatar as a usually short-flying arboreal species, for the unnaturality/contrast of it.

jude: black kite

black kites are one of the species of kites known to intentionally spread fires by picking up burning sticks to flush out prey.

agnes: ???

the only one i'm still undecided on. will update.

nikola: stealing major's carousel horse

i can't top that

jared: american dog tick

great choice from @/magnusarchivememes. Takes Your Blood And Gets So Big

breekon&hope: Hog and/or Bear. you get no more information

vaguely russian animals that are large and imposing but remain somewhat generic. which is the hog and which is the bear is not consistent.

dekker: mouflon

dekker has very much mammal vibes to me. the mouflon is a neat species of wild sheep. i think the noble, imposing but kind image of the ram works well for dekker as that sort of true-good hero figure, and mouflons in particular are very nice looking with good shapes. the statement giver in distant cousin describes dekker as "though he was slightly shorter than I was, it seemed like he towered over me." which i think this sheep works well with.

gertrude: great tit

i wanted all the main eye avatars as birds, just like how i give them all glasses. just a fun little treat for me. great tit was chosen for gertrude as a kind of classic british bird, and as tits in general are VERY fiesty despite their round and adorable appearance. i really like this image of a great tit posing with a dead mouse like it's a hunter with a trophy deer. the cheek markings also work really well to bring to mind the image of old person jowls.

leitner: domestic cat (persian)

vibes. also i like the idea of him as a spoiled domestic animal. if i remember correctly, this was also @/ofdreamsanddoodles' suggestion

manuela: gray long-eared bat

she's a bat. what's to say. WELL actually okay there's the perception of bats as blind but actually having quite good vision which i think meshes in a fun way with the dark, and the way manuela does her sciency stuff.

rayner: olm

i mean, yeah

salesa: sea otter

largely design-oriented, suitably scruffy. ocean animal with strong social bonds, it was a slam dunk soon as i thought of it.

simon: dodo

how couldn't i, come on.

[o-craven-canto]

All animal species (and a couple algae) that have kept the same scientific name since Linnaeus

The first work of taxonomy that is considered as having any scientific authority for animal species was the 10th edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, published in 1758. (Also a book on spiders called Aranei Suecici, published one year before.) That's the foundational text of the binominal system of nomenclature of species still in use today. Since then most of Linnaeus' original species (4379 species, of which 185 mammals, 554 birds, 217 "amphibians" (including reptiles and cartilaginous fish), 379 fishes, 2104 "insects" (including various arthropods, of which 664 are beetles and 543 are moths & butterflies crammed into only 3 genera), and 940 "worms" (including basically all other invertebrates, and even some protists and algae)) have been dismembered, renamed, or at least moved to different genera (e.g. the house sparrow went from Fringilla domestica to Passer domesticus).

Here is a list of all of Linnaeus' original species from 1758 that still retain their original name. I believe they are 484 in total.

[bat-besties]

Your lili posts have me thinking a lot about Jade and her similarities with Rose. Both come from countries ravaged by war and colonialism and this shapes their childhood- and yet DC ignores it despite the potential for a poignant and meaningful story there.

Rose grew up in a determent camp. Jade’s father was a french colonialist and she was later sold into slavery(and when she escaped she was trained by a chinese freedom fighter). These are interesting stories not only in the way they uniquely affect cambodian and viet women but in the sense they just… are compelling?? Jade works well with Roy and her daughter DOES make her more interesting but her dynamic with her daughter and with MEN has an extra layer there that they just don’t care about.

Rose HAS this unqiue and formative trauma that’s never discussed. Despite who her mother was or the things she saw she is aggressive to other women constantly, she is centrally relevant for her daddy issues,which yea are important, are not the only thing to explore there! I hope this makes sense and I’m not just very tired

This does make sense!

That's a really interesting parallel - I didn't know about Jade's backstory! I assumed the man she was talking with was a fellow assassin and not someone who had such a formative impact on her life.

Yeah, I think it's very telling that DC does a relatively good job with Mia Dearden as a trafficked white girl (and even that has some misses) but when a women of colour has trafficking in her backstory it's not fully explored or explained. Especially when women of colour are more at risk of human trafficking than white women, but don't receive the same attention/horror at their situations.

In way too many DC comics, human trafficking victims are a blur of undifferentiated nonwhite and/or female characters freed from the back of a van by our hero and never seen again, used to show just how evil an organisation or villain is. So yeah, that makes it especially galling that Jade's escape from slavery isn't factored into her relationship to men and her daughter.

Like Jade, Lili escapes slavery and tries to give her daughter the best life possible, and like her, she's erased from her daughter's personality and life.

Intergenerational trauma specific to Cambodia (which was already being discussed in academia in the 90s!!) and Vietnam is completely ignored. The way both have to deal with their own trauma and break cycles of abuse to raise their daughters is never acknowledged, while any way they act on past traumas is heavily punished. [Lili not wanting Rose to know about Slade to protect her leaving Rose unprepared for him/Jade reacting violently to having her daughter taken away from her being portrayed as her being crazed]

And yeah, the Rose who initially protects a woman from an abusive husband as a fourteen year old and has tea parties with Dolphin and Lian is suddenly turned into a sexist.

(Rose not hearing out Jade about Lian because of her own trauma and need to protect a little girl from the assassin parent coming on the scene was so PAINFUL and I am curious if they've interacted since)

Rose's valid and actually nuanced debate with Cassie about morality, the nature of redemption, etc, is portrayed as a catfight. It devalues both characters' arguments, but the racism of making Rose an oversexed Asian girl who says sexist things is much more egregious.

I also hate any Rose line along the lines of "I was raised in a brothel" because it never leads to a nuanced discussion of sex work but always means "sex isn't a big deal", which (a) I don't think anyone on any side of arguments about sex work thinks and (b) frankly would not be said if her mother and her were white. And of course, I don't even need to mention how horrible the Tim scene was for her character and background.

Similarly, you're so right that Rose's problems with authority are often seen as "daddy issues" which is so offensive because firstly, responding to abuse by a parent by struggling with authority is a genuine trauma response many people have. Secondly, she grew up for five years in an environment where soldiers abused refugees, and then she spent the next nine at risk of police abusing her mother and the other women because they were sex workers, and majority women of colour. She has really valid reasons not to trust people in authority, and when Eddie's being manipulated by the Doom Patrol, she's the first member of the Teen Titans to call bullshit and protect him. It's especially interesting because the manipulated members of the Doom Patrol are strongly disability coded and Caulder mimics ableist rhetoric to control them. Eddie, coded as newly disabled and white, is not used to having someone use bigotry to manipulate and control him, and I find it so interesting that Rose as a woman of colour is the first to worry about him. In the right balance, her distrust of authority is useful and insightful.

I honestly don't know enough Jade yet to have similar insight into her but I want to read more!

Overall, the Asian women in DC are so frequently screwed over, and I really think, being white myself, that white people need to stop discussing treatment of women in comics as shorthand for treatment of white women. For example, it might be overdone to focus on a white woman being a mother, but Asian women like Lili, Jade, Talia and more have their motherhood devalued and relationship to their children discounted. There's way too much reading material out there about treatment of Asian women in media to not work towards intersectional discussions of characters like Rose and Jade. Trying to untangle these characters from DC's racism/sexism and discussing them in their historical and cultural contexts is really rewarding and interesting.

categorizing mobs pt 2

welp. saddle up cus this will be a long one. if you havent seen the first part, go check it out. basicly i categorize mobs based on what they are, how they act and why they are here. this will add scrapped mobs, mobs from the spinoffs and more. ready. lets do this.

lets start with the very long one. animals. imma make a post dividing all the animals into there speices. but for now lets categorize animals in general. animals: axolotl, bat, camel, cat, cow, chicken, cod, frog, donkey, squid, glow squid, horse, mooshroom, pig, mule, donkey, ocelot, parrot, pufferfish, rabbit, salmon, sheep, skeleton horse, sniffer, strider, tadpole, tropical fish, turtle, bee, cave spider, spider, dolphins, fox, goat, llama, panda, polar bear, trader llama, wolf, guardian. elder guardians, hoglin, phantom, ravager, shulker, silverfish, zoglin, ender dragon, armadillo, killer bunny, zombie horse, diamond chicken, "horse", mars, moon cow, "pony", redstone bug, red dragon, alpaca, barnacle, the great hunger, chinese crocodile, golden monkey, pink river dolphin, white lipped deer, fox pet, (these are the chinese exclusive mobs. i know these cus my chinese friend plays the chinese version.) crab, penguin, endermite, badger, butterfly, dragonfly, marmot, big beak, brilliant beetle, regal tiger, lava launcher, warboar, ancient hoglin, rainbow sheep, jeb_ sheep, clam, piggy bank, wooly cow, enchanted sheep, enchanted cow, dairy cow, piebald pig, sooty pig, baby glow squid, ghast, baby ghast, cinnamon ferret, cluckshroom, duck, dark goat, emperor penguin, fancy chicken, golden parrot, hedgehog, mole, red phantom, racoon, royal penguin, red panda, raven, ruby turtle, skunk, ferret, spotted pig,toucan, vested rabbit, toast, grumm/dinnerbone animals, zombie baby pig, moobloom, moolip, eponymous glow squid, black ocelot, black wolf, monkey, (these three are mentioned in the weapons of minecraft dungeouns) Dried Muddy Pig, Mottled Pig, Muddy Pig, Pale Pig, Pink Footed Pig, Spotted Pig, Flecked Sheep, Fuzzy Sheep, Inky Sheep, Long Nose Sheep, Patched Sheep, Rocky Sheep, White Sheep, Albino Cow, Ashen Cow, Cookie Cow, Cream Cow, Pinto Cow, Sunset Cow, Umbra Cow, Amber Chicken, Bronzed Chicken, Gold Crested Chicken, Midnight Chicken, Skewbald Chicken, Stormy Chicken, Bold Striped Rabbit, Desert Rabbit, Freckled Rabbit, Harelequin Rabbit, Jumbo Rabbit, Muddy Foot Rabbit, bone spider, skeleton wolf, dyed cat, fish in chaps, (what) (its a fish with pants what-) hyper rabbit, magma cow, mooboom, mossy sheep, otter, web spider, teacup pig, horned sheep, meerkat, ostritch, vulture, wooloo, finally, zombie rabbit.

Blog Changes For The New Year

Changes Complete thank you for putting up with all these OOC updates. So first new muses

Tomoe (the fan made Kyururu rewrite) - A human created by the cerulean queen as opposed to standstar like Kaban, she's an easy going artist and maybe Kaban's rival?

Domestic Dog - Tomoe's Friend partner, a somewhat melancholy but otherwise typical Dog Friend who considers Tomoe her best friend.

Blackbuck - An Idol who sees herself as a supervillain but wouldn't actually hurt anyone (think Santania from Gabriel Dropout)

Chinese White Dolphin - The older sister figure among the Dolphin Friends who live in the sea around Kyushu.

In other news I did drop Towa as a muse, this affects no one honestly since I never got around to throwing her at anyone when I did muse her, I also changed Cerval's name to Cellval but I will continue to use Cerulean on this account I also added a seasonal friends section for seasonal event muses and rewrote some bios to connect new muses and old muses. Such as Okapi being Blackbuck's rival and Cellvall and Caracal are now best friends.

#ooc #New muses

[tomboyjessie13-artblog]

This took awhile to make because I had trouble drawing her.

Noriko Tachibana (橘典子 Tachibana Noriko), was a secondary ally during "Diamond is Unbreakable". Noriko was born in Morioh, Japan with Irish-American traits from her mother Medea and Japanese traits from her father Keiji, making her a Hafu. 

She was a innocent and adorable young girl who attends an Elementary School and grew up without knowing of her mother's past sins in "Stardust Crusaders", it wasn't until Yoshikage Kira began to terrorize her family and all of Morioh that she began to see that not everything in the world is pure and beautiful, also doesn't help that her mother's a beautiful woman with only one human hand. 

It is later revealed that Noriko is a natural born Stand user due to seeing her mother's Stand since infancy, albeit still dormant.

She later becomes a secondary protagonist during the events of "Stone Ocean", she is now a teenager who attends High School and dreams on becoming an idol. 

But those dreams were dashed when Enrico Pucci, an ally of her mother's former master DIO, kidnaps and takes her to the Green Dolphin Street Prison in Florida, USA, under the false claim that she committed arson, in hopes of smoking out Medea and using her daughter as leverage for "betraying god". 

It was there that Noriko's Stand finally manifests, now named "Little Talks", and now has to join forces with the Joestar group in hopes of stopping Pucci's plans and reuniting with her mother. 

Noriko will later reappear in the new universe as an alternate version of herself named "Sakura Tachibana", she is portrayed as a Japanese tourist who is visiting Florida for the holidays with her parents.

~Name~ Japanese Name: 橘典子 Romanized Name: Tachibana Noriko Namesake: Noriaki Kakyoin(given by Medea in memory of him) Stand: Little Talks

~Profile~ Age: 5 (Part 4) Age: 17 (Part 6) Birthday: June 6, 1994 Zodiac Sign: Gemini Chinese Zodiac: Dog Gender: Female Height: 91 cm (3 ft 0 in) (Part 4) 154 cm (5 ft 1 in) (Part 6) Weight: Unknown Blood Type: O Nationality: Hafu (Japanese-American) Occupation: Elementary School Student (Part 4) High Schooler (Part 6)

~Favorites~ Color: Pastel green Movie: Spirited Away Food: Strawberries Musician: Gackt Man type: Cool and mysterious Hobbies: Singing

~Other Information~ Hair Color: Dark brown Eye Color: Fern green Goals: Becoming an idol (ruined by Enrico Pucci) Relationships: Medea King/Tachibana (mother) Keiji Tachibana (father) Medea's parents (maternal grandparents) Sachiko Tachibana (paternal grandmother) Yuna Tachibana (paternal aunt)

Status: Reborn in a new universe (Part 6)

~Appearance~

In "Diamond is Unbreakable", Noriko is a 91 cm (3 ft 0 in) tall young girl, who is shown to share both Western and Japanese traits due to being born a Hafu. She has her father's dark brown hair tied into short pigtails with teal hair ties, a round face, thin pale-orange lips, pale skin, a short stature due to her young age, and her mother's fern green eyes. She also shown to be wearing a white and rain-forest green sailor uniform with a magenta colored necktie, white ankle socks, and brown loafers.

In the first chapter of "Stone Ocean", Noriko had noticeably aged and has grown in size, now being 154 cm (5 ft 1 in) tall, her lips now given a pinker shade instead of orange, her hair also grew longer and straighter down to her lower back and tied into half-twin tails with dark green hair ties. 

She's also shown to be wearing a more modern and western style-high school uniform, with a light yellow sweater vest, white dress shirt, Aruba green colored plaid skirt and necktie, dark green jacket, black knee high socks, and rain-forest green Madison all star converses.

In the second chapter, she pierced her own ears in order to wear Kakyoin's cherry earrings as a memento to her mother. In the final chapter, she ties her jacket around her waist and had her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, her yellow vest is now gone, and she wears a watch on her left wrist. 

After the universe reset, she's reborn as a different person now with her hair tied into twin-tails, wearing a frilly mint green spaghetti strap summer dress that reaches to her knees, a tan sunhat with a white ribbon on it, and a pair of flat tan ankle sandals, weirdly enough she still wears the cherry earrings from the original universe.

~Abilities~

Stand:

Noriko's Stand didn't manifest until she turned 17, it would later earn the name "Little Talks". Much like Hierophant Green, Little Talks is a Long-Range Stand that can extend to a modest extent. Although it's doesn't do projectile attacks, it makes up for it with by doing stealth attacks and using ice picker-like blades. Little Talk's Stand cry is "Kiruuuuuuu!..." similar to Flogging Molly, "kiru" meaning "scar" in Japanese.

Stand: Little Talks Type: Long-Range, Reconnaissance, Artificial Humanoid Abilities: Shadow stealth

Mastery: 

Noriko is an inexperienced Stand user due to Little Talks being a late-bloomer, but makes up for this flaw by using her intellect to plan out strategies. Much like Flogging Molly, Little Talks is seen as a female-looking humanoid with artificial limbs, with the only difference being that it's more cyborg looking with green colored lining, body armor, and visors, dark teal skin, and light teal pigtails.

And much like her mother's Stand, Little Talks can grow  ice picker blades on it's palms that can overpower, maim, and scar enemies. Little Talks also does stealth attacks with it's shadow stealth ability, which allows it to hide in the shadows of objects or people and surprise their enemies. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trivia:

Occording to Medea, she originally wanted to name her potential son after "Noriaki" in memory of Kakyoin, but ended up changing it to the more feminine "Noriko" when she found out her baby was a girl.

Her Stand, Little Talks, is named after the song under the same name by Icelandic indie folk and rock band: "Of Monsters and Men".

Noriko wants to become an idol due to having a crush on IRL musician and actor Gackt, at some point she wanted to purchase his Vocaloid "Gackpoid", but her parents refused due to being "too expensive".

Notes:

Prussia is obviously inspired by Cardverse

Knights Templar is here instead of the other ex-immortals because I have a soft spot for him (he is literally an angel here, with a shotgun!!!)

I know, natural lions don't exist in Europe, but England (and many other Europeans) use them as their national symbols. I didn't want too many Aslans in the list and I decided that Netherlands (and his siblings) are better off as rabbits, and I can't think of anything else for Iggy, so he's the lion now

I will one day draw this AU because for some reason I'm starting to like [animal]boys and [animal]girls (NOT FURRIES, but ok maybe I'll draw the furry version as well because they exist in Arknights heh. An excuse to practise drawing animals lol)

I guess you COULD use this as a reference for an HP au because PATRONUSES

Ok, I'll admit, I love Eng and Port as a lion and a wyvern because look at this!!!

Vaquita

Facts

The world's rarest marine animal, the Vaquita, is on the verge of extinction. The fast collapse of the vaquita in Mexico, with only approximately 10 individuals living, exemplifies the condition of cetaceans as a whole—whales, dolphins, and porpoises. This tiny porpoise wasn't spotted until 1958, and now, more than half a century later, we're on the verge of extinction. Vaquitas are frequently trapped and drowned in gillnets employed by illicit fishing activities in Mexico's Gulf of California marine protected areas. In recent years, the population has decreased dramatically.

Website

STATUS: Critically Endangered

POPULATION: About 10 individuals

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Phocoena sinus

HEIGHT: Up to 5 feet

WEIGHT: Up to 120 pounds

HABITATS: Marine (only in the northern Gulf of California)

A wide dark ring surrounds the vaquita's eyes, and dark patches on its lips form a thin line running from the mouth to the pectoral fins. It has a dark gray dorsal surface, pale gray sides, and a white underside with long, light gray patterns on the ventral surface. A wide gray fringe of color runs from the head to the flukes, passing between the dorsal and pectoral fins, and is present in newborn vaquita. They prefer to stay close to shore in the Gulf's shallow waters, but if a boat approaches, they will immediately swim away.

Why They Matter

The vaquita is the world's most endangered cetacean. With only about ten individuals left, the species will become extinct unless a complete gillnet ban is enacted across its entire habitat. The WWF is working hard to guarantee that they can survive and prosper in their natural environment.

Threats

If fishing bycatch is not addressed promptly, the vaquita will become extinct. Nearly one in every five vaquita is entangled in gillnets designed for other marine species, such as the totoaba, a critically endangered fish located in the upper Gulf of California. The principal reason for the vaquita's extinction by the mid-1970s was entanglement in totoaba gillnets. Totoaba were overfished by the mid-1970s, and Mexico and the United States declared them endangered in 1975 and 1979, respectively.

International trade in totoaba is currently prohibited by CITES, a global agreement among states to control or prohibit international trade in threatened species, but rising demand for the swim bladder from China has resulted in an increase in illegal totoaba fishing in recent years. The assumption in Chinese medicine that totoaba swim bladders can heal a range of illnesses and disorders has fueled demand. Thousands of swim bladders are dried and smuggled out of Mexico, frequently through the US. Fishermen receive around $4,000 per pound of totoaba swim bladder, which is roughly half a year's worth of income from legal fishing. The dramatic reduction of vaquita numbers is being driven by this illegal trade.

In case I never mentioned it, the universe Steven and Alexa from Champion Game are from is supposed to be Minecraft's inevitable final version, which, among other things, gives savannas baobab trees, termites with mounds, and ostriches, the deserts have palm trees, meerkats, and oases, badlands have vultures, tumbleweeds, and a kind of flowery cactus, and has every participant in the MINECON Earth 2017 mob votes as part of the world (because the losers will never be added into the vanilla game; those losers are the Barnacle/"The Monster of the Ocean Depths"/Mob A, "The Great Hunger"/Mob C, and the Wildfire/"The Hovering Inferno"/Mob D, the latter of which was later added into Minecraft Dungeons), the losers of the Chinese vote (the Panda won against the Chinese Alligator, Snub-nosed Monkey, White-lipped deer, and the possibly extinct Baiji dolphin), Mooblooms (and buttercup flowers), Iceologers, Glares, Copper Golems (and copper buttons), Rascals (as in, the one that lost the 2022 Mob Vote), Tuff Golems, 2D fireflies that are two pixels long (and therefore an accurate size), and red dragons (that, unlike that world's Ender Dragon, can land and doesn't destroy blocks).

Chapter 17: Where History Meets Art at the Museum

(Once the Bad Guys and the Panda Squad enter the museum, they have no idea what is going to happen…)

⏰ 10th of July 2022, 06:30pm ⏰

🌎The Museum of Art, Los Angeles 🌎

The Bad Guys looked at the museum, it has been a year since the last time they come to this building just to steal the Golden Dolphin. And all five looked nervous…

Mr Piranha was wearing a black suit and black trousers with gold sparkles, black shiny shoes, white shirt and golden chain necklace, and a black belt with gold buckle.

Mr Shark was wearing a sparkling red suit with black tiger stripes, matching red trousers, white shoes, black belt with gold buckle, white shirt, and bright red bow-tie.

Miss Tarantula was wearing a white shirt, yellow leather jackets, black choker that got a blue gemstone in the middle as well as a matching tie, black spider earrings that also got a blue gemstones as well.

Mr Snake was wearing a green suit, green top hat, white shirt with a red scarf and a red flower.

And Mr Wolf was wearing the same suit that he wore last year in the museum but slightly different as it blended with the Charity Gala; near dark blue suit, matching trousers, black shoes, purple vest, and black bow-tie but without a hat, sunglasses and a fake moustache.

…the five former criminal just standing there, really don’t want to go. Wolf looked around, hoping he could see Sly Cooper which sadly wasn’t there but maybe he was not here yet.

The Panda Squad looked at the museum, eyes widened as they walked up next to the Bad Guys. They have never seen something so fantastic before…

Meilin was wearing a Chinese red sparkling short dress with no sleeves that got pink blossom petals on them with matching shoes as well as red heart-shaped earrings, sliver glasses, pink pearl necklace, pink flower hair clip, white Canadian cardigan as well as a rainbow friendship bracelet.

Miriam was wearing a pastel green jumpsuit with a short sleeves and plain shimmering green long skirt and a plain shimmering green suit that got long sleeves as well as stars on the skirt and the suit, dark green belt with a sliver buckle. Dark green boot-looking shoes with black laces, black shocks, her black chocker necklace with a green gem in the middle, green gem circle-shaped earrings, rainbow friendship bracelet, and her hairstyle was an up-do that still shown curls with a pastel green scrunchy with a sliver star on it.

Priya was wearing a black jumpsuit with short sleeves, nearly long yellow cardigan, yellow boots with black lace, white belt with a golden eagle that spread its wings wide, gold sparkles for her curly hair, gold earrings, gold necklace, gold nosepiece, gold bracelet, black glasses, and rainbow friendship bracelet.

Abby was wearing a sparkling pink/purple Jaguar print dress with short sleeves, purple Jaguar print ribbon around her waist, white tights, pastel pink shoes with a hot pink lace that got a bow as well in the front, sparkling pink/purple Jaguar print headband with her hair as a ponytail, sliver heart-shaped earrings with white pearls, white and grey pearl bracelet in both wrists along with a rainbow bracelet.

And Catalina… she looked like a princess; wearing a light green shirt with buttons and collar as well as a matching skirt, black leggings, black socks, white boots with light green laces, white belt with golden sun-crest, brown fingerless gloves and leather jackets, golden leaf necklace and rainbow bracelet. Her hairstyle was two ponytail with white ribbons, green sparkles and a mini sliver tiara hair hair clip along with a golden diamond shape earring.

…Wolf noticed the girls and somehow smiled at Catalina who smiled back, the other Bad Guys looked at the other Panda Squad and they smiled at each other. These 10 friends seemed to be well unique by the way they dressed up for the museum.

“It’s like we’re going to the royal gala,” Miriam was the first one to speak.

“Except that it’s a museum,” Piranha pointed out.

“Well, Diane did said that it’s a little gala for the museum because there’s something important is at the front of the whole stage.” Catalina said.

“Oooh,” Shark said. “I wonder if it’s a whole three of dolphins. You know; gold, sliver and bronze.”

“That would be interesting,” Priya said with a smile.

“It’s ‘crime’ time, everyone.” Tarantula said, teasing her boys while doing a quote mark on ‘crime’ just to have fun.

“We’re going to steal their attentions by showin’ off our cool looks?!” Abby asked excitedly with her eyes sparkled.

“That would be on you girls,” Snake rolled his eyes before giving them a serious look. “If they come up to you, don’t talk to them. Just stay by me and I attacked them. Got that?”

“Ugh,” Meilin groaned. “We know all the rules of keeping us safe from random strangers, Snake!”

Wolf chuckled, “Since when you’re started to be an overprotective father?”

“Since you’re the first one to came to my life,” Snake said. “Before Shark and Piranha, and before Webs and Hornet.”

“Who’s Hornet?” Miriam asked.

There was a paused and the four Bad Guys glared at Snake who rolled his eyes before answering Miriam’s question. “Hornet was our member of this team before deciding to leave us so he could get a better life.”

“We asked him why,” Piranha said as he was a bit sad about his best friend left without saying goodbye. “But he never replied…”

Abby hugged Piranha for comfort, trying to be extra careful with his golden sparkles. Piranha then patted her gently on the arm.

“Anyway,” Wolf said after a little silence. “We be able to contact him two weeks later after he left us.“

“After I be able to get him to talk to us for Piranha’s sake,” Tarantula said.

“Whoa…” Miriam, Priya and Abby spoke as they were kinda stunned by how they be able to contact their friend.

“When we be able to see him?” Priya asked.

The five Bad Guys looked at each other…

“Are you guys gonna come in or are you just gonna stand there, doing nothing?” The voice came and when two groups turned to see who it was, it was Diane in a sparkling red jumpsuit that got a long skirt and straps over her shoulders with matching shoes. Her bracelet and necklace were still there. “I’m glad you guys be able to come when I thought you wouldn’t.”

Wolf got to admit it. Diane have always looked like a princess just like last year where she wore a pink dress at the museum and a blue jumpsuit dress at the charity gala, but now in a red jumpsuit dress for the museum gala. She was absolutely beautiful in red but also pink, it kinda shows her innocence but feisty attitude in her; ‘Her heart full of sweetness but her eyes full of fire’.

Miriam, Priya and Abby gasped once they saw Diane, “You look so beautiful.” They said at the same, admiring the colour of the dress she wore.

“Oh,” Diane said. “Thank you, no one never said that to me when I’m wearing something like this.”

Suddenly, Mr Whiskers came out of nowhere behind Diane’s legs. The little fella was wearing a red bow-tie that got a little ruby gem in the middle. When he saw Catalina, he ran up and jumped into her arms before nuzzling against her cheek while purring.

“First, Wolf.” Snake said, “Now this Little Red Riding Hood?”

Catalina chuckled while cuddling Mr Whiskers, given Snake a nod.

Wolf smiled before taking Catalina’s hand. “Come on,” Wolf told the guys and girls. “Let’s go and see what’s the night brings.”

Snake was kinda shocked when Wolf was not going to talk to Diane about what happened yesterday. Maybe Wolf just wanted to talk to her alone without he and the others being earwigs, but he was going to keep an eye on him just in case.

Meilin noticed Snake’s look and she can tell that this would be a hard night for Snake and Wolf.

“Don’t worry,” Meilin said to Snake. “I’m sure Wolf will tell her.”

“I do hope so,” Snake sighed.

🐺🐍🕷🦈🐠

Once the gang entered the building, everyone looked at the Bad Guys before the Panda Squad and started to mumble a bit before going back to their business. That left Wolf a bit confused and upset but didn’t let that get to him.

“I actually thought they would scream and run away,” Miriam said.

“Yeah,” Tarantula agreed. “But I guess they don’t want to ruin this big night.”

“I already told them that you’re coming,” Diane explained. “So everything is in order.”

“Thanks,” Wolf said before walking away from her. “We’re just going to check on the new stuff in this place.” Not knowing his ears seemed to dropped.

Diane looked hurt by the way he walked away but also can tell something was up.

Catalina noticed that and decided to go after Wolf with Mr Whiskers in her arms.

Snake growled, “I’ll talk to him when I got the chance. Because there’s something you need to know from him.”

The rest of Panda Squad looked at each other before starting to explore the place, while the Bad Guys started to talk about Wolf.

“Don’t you think he’s going to Diane about what happened yesterday?” Miriam said.

“I do hope so…” Meilin said very serious and plain as she doesn’t want to overreact with strong emotions that cause the red panda to unleash.

“Catalina did told us that he didn’t say anything about the incident,” Abby said.

“I wasn’t expected Snake would find that out, though.” Priya said.

“Look,” Miriam spoke. “I thought we won’t say anything and just let someone figure it out by themselves.”

“That’s correct,” Meilin said with no emotion.

“But guess that you have to tell Wolf that you know than just Snake,” Miriam rolled her eyes annoyance slightly.

“It wasn’t like that,” Meilin said as her emotions got a little best of her but remained calm.

“Which reminds me, is that why you’re not in your nearly five o’clock in the morning?” Abby asked.

“You was with them, trying to get Wolf to tell Diane the truth about yesterday?” Priya said.

“Can we just…” Meilin suddenly snapped but taking a breath in and out, calming her down before spoke in a calm voice. “We just need to keep this to ourselves until Wolf going to talk to her. I don’t us to talk about this more as I am focusing on something else that morning with Snake.”

“Why?” Miriam asked. “What happened this morning?”

“I… uh…” Meilin wasn’t sure if she wanted to tell her friends about that morning. She and Snake saw what’s he called a Wolfervile symbol and when she asked what it was, he only replied; “I fear that Wolf might be one of them…” which she doesn’t understand…

“Hey, Abby!” Shark called her and the girls turned to see him. “You wanna get something to eat from the buffet?”

“Yeah, I do!” Abby said, running towards Shark. “Later, girls!”

“There you three,” Snake said. “You better stay by me at all time, you got that?”

“Well,” Miriam said. “Maybe for those two, but I’m hunting for Sly Cooper…” before she be able to get anyway, Snake grabbed her by the wrist.

“Oh, no.” Snake said. “No way, you ain’t get away from me. You don’t even know this place.”

“He does have a good point.” Priya pointed out, agreeing with him.

Miriam groaned.

Meanwhile, Officer Susanna saw the Bad Guys and the girls entered the building and smiled as she noticed that they were just doing just fine.

“Has the Bad Guys entered the building with the girls?” Chief Luggins asked behind Officer Bob who those two were standing next to Susanna.

“Yup,” Susanna replied. “You know, you should talk to Wolf and maybe apologise to after what happened.”

“She does have a good point, Chief.” Bob said.

“And why should I do that?” Chief asked. “I get that little red-head girl said was nothing but all true as I was too blinded to actually see the true culprit that turned out to be that guinea pig, but apologised to Wolf…”

“…for saying that he was born to be a threat because he’s a wolf.” Susanna finished her sentence. “I get he’s a wolf, Chief, but something tells me that there’s something wrong with me when I saw him defend his friend from those bunnies that he somehow got the skills of kung fu.”

“What?” Chief Luggins asked. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I know how you would react,” Susanna said. “But before all that, I can’t help but notice that one of them called him a ‘Wolfervile’?”

“A Wolfervile?” Bob asked.

The chief froze there as she somehow heard that word before but couldn’t figure out what…

🐺🐍🕷🦈🐠

Few minutes later while everyone were having a great time so far, Wolf was already walking back and forth as he talked to himself while Catalina was playing with Mr Whiskers. “Okay. Come on, Wolf, you can do it. This is Diane we're talking about. She would understand.m, right? But what if someone overhear us? I don't want people go panic here. What if she doesn't want to talk to me? What if I interupt her in middle of important conversation with some delegates? That would be really awkward. Maybe I should wait a little, she doesn't need dumbass like me to disrupt her party.” He then walked away, but then he slapped himself on face to stop. “No, no. Don't think like that. Just talk to Diane about the yesterday's incident and get over with. She has every right to know.” He looked over until he saw her talking with blue-haired lady that looked familiar.

The blue-haired woman was a fox and was also wearing a blue dress with no sleeves from ankle to neck with golden details, black long gloves and shoes, and her hair was a plait that was over her shoulder.

Wolf shook his head as if he was seeing things after this morning and yesterday, “Well…” he finally spoke, “There she is. Okay, Wolf, this is it. Just... talk to her.” Wolf took a deep breath keep repeating in his head over and over of the same line 'I can do this' with confidence ready to approach her. He raised index finger in confidence, take one step, ready to take another one while opened his mouth to call her.... only to be still on this position for 10 seconds…

20 seconds, and then 40…

‘Come on, Wolf. You can do this. Just take one step.’ He thought while trying move from this position... until he slumped in defeat, it’s like his confidence just went away and out of the window as he lowered his finger along with droopy ears.

"I can't do it." he said in depressed tone. He growled a little, but then he grasped his head in frustration as he ranted to himself. “Aaarrrrgggh, this is ridiculous!” He snapped himself. “I'm Mr. Wolf, a former gentle-thief, a smooth-talker, practically a second George Clooney! This should be piece of cake, so why can't I do it?!”

“Are you done now?” Wolf yelped as he heard a voice behind him only to see Shark along with Abby, their hands were filled with plates of delicious food.

“H-how long have you been standing there?” Wolf asked, his blush in embarrassment was shown slightly.

“Oh, Long enough to see you acting like teenage highschooler who is afraid to ask his crush on date.” Shark said, smirking.

Abby squeeled at mentioning word 'date'.

Wolf's cheeks suddenly blushed more after hearing that. “It's not like that.” He mumbled. “I just...”

“…have problem to tell her about yesterday's incident?” Shark asked, finishing his sentence.

The canine's eyes widened in surprise at his aquatic friend. “H-How do you know that?” Then he looked at Abby. Remembering that Meilin knew about it from Catalina, his eyes landed on Abby. “Did you tell him about that?”

“What?” Abby asked, “No, I didn't. I swear.” She then looking flustered.

“Hey, chill.” Snark said. “Snake was the one who told me.”

Wolf groaned after hearing that. “Snake, of course.” He crossed arms with his eyes rolled. He then looked at Abby apologetically as he spoke. “Sorry…”

Abby only shrugged in response. “Eh, it's okay. No harm done... yet.” She said mischievously. “Want me to teach him a lesson?” She asked while raised her fists emphasizing on 'lesson'.

Both apex predators chuckled at her adorableness, despite knowing she's serious.

“No need, but thanks.” Wolf said, his face suddenly turned into scowl as he turned away. “I'm gonna do it myself.” He was about to find that traitor until he was grabbed on collar by Shark.

“Not so fast,” Shark said. “Look… Snake might be a jerk, but he's right. You can't keep this from her forever.”

“I'm not going keep it from her.” Wolf said.

“Then why are you stalling?” Shark asked.

“I’m not…” Wolf was about to snapped, but he paused before taking a deep breath to calm himself down as he spoke. “I'm not stalling, I'm just... taking time to prepare myself.”

Catalina noticed Wolf’s frustrated and went over to him with Mr Whiskers followed her just to see he’s alright. “You okay Wolf?” She asked.

Wolf noticed her and sighed, “Yeah… I’m fine…”

Shark didn't look conviced though and he was getting annoyed. “You're stalling right now and all of us are getting tired of…”

Abby quickly jabbed him on side to shut him up, but it was too late.

Wolf and Catalina quickly caught on what Shark just said.

Catalina glared Abby who smiled sheepish. “Guess the Bad Guys and the Panda Squad knew what happened yesterday and yet, Wolf didn’t say anything to Diane.” She groaned.

“Wait, 'all of us'?” Wolf asked, he was too glaring at Shark. “All of you Bad Guys and Panda Squad?”

Just then, Tarantula was climbing up onto Shark’s shoulder. “Yeah… sorry, but Cat told the girls and Snake told us.”

Suddenly Piranha came to Abby’s side. “Hola, did you finally do it?! Please, tell me you did it! I really want to…”

“Piranha!” Tarantula snapped, “Just cut it out! Look, me and Mr Nervous Gas-Liar here already know about it.”

“Hey!” Piranha snapped back at her. “At least, I didn't fart one bit since we came here!”

Wolf facepalmed himself, feeling more embarrassed than before.

Catalina spoke, “I was the first who knew about it before Snake taste the air of negative in you and me.”

“Of course,” Wolf mumbled. “Surprisingly, you told the girls and Snake told Shark, Webs and Gas-Liar.”

Tarantula sighed. “Listen… Even if Snake didn't say a word, we noticed you've off today. You can't dancing around it forever.”

“She's right.” Shark pointed it out. “Just get it off your chest and you will feel much better.”

“Yeah,” Wolf said. “You’re right. I mean what could possibly go wrong? It's just me and Diane... talking about that crazy yesterday... involving crazy rabbits... that tried to kindnap me... with few people probably listening... including Fluffit... and Luggins... in the Museum…” At first Wolf was so sure he had no reason to be worried, but after each sentence he became more agitated. Shaking like poor leaf after realizing his situation.

Shark, Tarantula, Piranha, Abby and Catalina (with Mr Whiskers in Catalina’s arms) exchanged their worried looks as they saw a poor canine almost freaking out. Shark and Abby quickly put their plates on side of table as the others approach him.

“Wolf?” Catalina asked, worrying about Wolf’s outburst as they were all in the building with everyone around them.

Shark and Piranha tried to calm down his frenzy, but no luck as Wolf started berrating in dismay. “Oh, my god!” Wolf said, he was in near full panic. “Snake was right. Going there was a bad idea. Talking about it here?! Of all places?! What was I thinking?!” He then noticed bottle of wine. What if... He was about take shot when suddenly…

“Oh, heck no!” He shouted in panic as he grabbed the bottle, before Wolf could. It's surprise no one paid attention of that outburst, aside from two startled Abby and Catalina.

“Shark,” Wolf said. “Come on!”

“No,” Shark said. “I will not dealing with a Loopy Wolf today.”

“Loopy Wolf?” Abby asked in confusion.

“Everytime Wolf is gets drunk, he became pretty much unpredictable and always ends up in crazy situations.” Shark explained.

“I can confirm that.” Tarantula said, rolling her eyes.

“Me, too.” Piranha said, “And that comes someone who is suppossed to be the crazy one.”

“Oh, please.” Wolf scoffed. “It’s not that bad.”

“May I have to remind you the crane incident on New Year's Eve two years ago?” Shark asked, that got Wolf looked away flushed in shame after mentioning.

“Crane incident?” Abby and Catalina asked at the same time, looking at Shark confusion.

Shark sighed. “Two years ago on New Year's Eve, we were celebrating one of our most successful heist we ever pulled.”

“That night after our toast, I challenged Wolf on drinking game with two bottles of vodka.” Piranha spoke. “The one who drink a whole bottle of vodka without stopping or passing out wins.”

“And Wolf, who was slightly drunk and in great mood that night, gladly accepted.” Tarantula explained. “Which was a bad idea because Piranha here lost the challenge as he passed out and Snake doodled by black marker as punishment, while I was recording everything.“

“Oh, yeah.” Piranha sighed, then groaned. “You guys still had that dump photo on that fridge!”

“But after that, we left Wolf out of sight for a minute. And next thing we knew, we found him at the top of crane on construction site howling.” Shark said.

“How did he end up there was still a mystery for us.” Tarantula said, and that was actually true.

“We shouted at him to get down immediately, but much to us horror, he did... by jumping off the crane like from ramp to a swimming pool! Only there was no water!” Piranha explained. If he didn't get caught up by that hook he would might end up in splat! Or probably make a wolf-shaped hole, who knows.”

“Anyway,” Shark said. “Though his last jacket wasn't lucky to survive that crazy fall, but let’s say that it was a night we would never forget. Especially since Webs recorded everything, otherwise Wolf wouldn't probably believe if he hadn't see it.”

Catalina and Abby’s jaws dropped in shock after that story, but Catalina wanted to say something to Wolf hopefully later after this as she smiled at Wolf who was blushing slightly.

“And that's why we won't let him drink alcohol or leave him alone when he's drunk.” Shark said, crossing his arms.

“It was only one time!” Wolf exclaimed.

“And I like to keep that way.” Shark smirked. “Besides you're driving tonight, so no alcohol for you mister.” Wolf grumbled in defeat. Shark put his fin on canidae's shoulder for comfort. “Dude, I'm just trying to help you. And trust me, talking with her after having a booze is not good idea.”

“It's just... I can't shake the feeling…” Wolf said.

“I think you're being paranoid.” Shark said.

“But what if I'm not?” Wolf asked, panicking. “What if I just make things worse? What if I make a fool of myself? What if I make her look like fool? What if Fluffit sees it and spreads into news worldwide?! What if…”

Abby having enough of it grabbed Wolf by jacket to pull him on same level as her and slapped him on his face to stop.

“ABIGAIL!!!” Catalina snapped once she saw that, she doesn’t want to see Wolf being slapped by a little girl like Abby.

“Pull yourself together man!” Abby yelled. “You can't thinking all about what ifs nonsenses the whole night.“ Finally the korean-canadian let go of Wolf's jacket as he rubbed his sore cheek. It didn't hurt badly, but it still stung. “You've been freaking about it ever since we came by avoiding making eye contact with her and it makes you just as agitated as Mei with her mom coming here if she was around here. I don't like see my friends, even my new ones suffer like that. So please just talk to her, then you might feel better. Please?” She said with joined hands and pleading eyes.

Wolf looked at her feeling guilty. He appreciated Abby's concern, even called him and his gang friends, but he was still uncertain about. So he looked away as he said in dejected tone. “I don’t know…” he sigh.

Suddenly, Catalina handed Mr Whiskers to Abby before wrapped her arms around Wolf’s legs. When he turned around and looked down at her, he couldn’t stop staring as she was giving those big sad eyes that got him all shocked and surprised. She was giving him that eyes of cuteness and begging him to talk to Diane. Those eyes looked like those eyes when he was a little pup anytime he begged Snake to go out for the park, give him an ice lolly or having 50 dollars for his birthdays. Those tricks were good because Snake couldn’t say no to Wolf because of those eyes he gave him. And now, Catalina was doing the same to Wolf…

“Alright, alright…” Wolf finally spoke, “I'll do it.” He then patted Catalina’s head who smiled and giggle slightly.

Shark, Piranha and Tarantula looked at each other in confused about how did Catalina or what did she do while Abby was looking at her in confusion and Mr Whiskers was taking a nap in her arms.

Shark nudging his pal and spoke teasingly. “Go on. Your lady is waiting.”

Wolf glared at him. “Ok fine, I will talk to her. But I want 15 minutes of privacy so no eavesdropping.”

“You got it,” Shark said…

“That includes you, buddy.” Wolf said.

“Aw, come on.” Shark said until he saw Wolf giving him the look that he was going to rumble. “Fine, as you wish.”

“Thank you.” Wolf said feeling satisfied, but then his eyes widened in panic. Before Shark could ask what's wrong… In swift motion, the canine's hands shot front, much big fish's surprise, only to catch falling plates of Shark and Abby's food just in time before they could hit floor. He sighed in relief, then turned toward his aquatic friend as he gave food back to his hands. “And next time, don't place your plates on the edge of table unless you want lose dinner.” Shark didn't say a word as he was in shock of what just happened. Wolf didn't notice as he was heading to direction where governor was. “I'm going to talk to Diane right now.”

“Good luck,” Abby said while giving him a thumps up.

“Thanks, Abby.” Wolf smiled. “I'm gonna need it for sure.”

Once Wolf goes to Diane, Catalina was a bit surprised when Wolf be able to catch the fallen plates and wondered how he didn’t notice…

“I didn't know Mr. Wolf has ninja skills.” Abby said. “Do you think he might teach me that?”

Having no response Abby turned around only to see Shark, Piranha and Tarantula with their jaws dropped in disbelief.

“What’s wrong?” Catalina asked before taking Mr Whiskers off Abby’s arms.

“I told you that he got king fu moves!” Tarantula said, smiling.

🐺🐍🕷🦈🐠

Wolf was looking for Diane in crowd. He kind of lost her out of sight after his conversation with Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, Abby and Catalina, but that wasn't problem. After all how hard to find beautiful vixen in stunnig red dress can be?

'Wait a beautiful? Where did that come from?' he thought as his cheeks were getting hot, but he shook it off.

Turns out though, that it was more tricky than he imagined. Thankfully it didn't take long to found her. He put his most charming smile as he was walking towards her. Despite acting like his confident usual self outside, he was really nervous on the inside as his heart was beating louder in each step. He would lie that he's not afraid of talking with her. Funny, that exact same thing she told him yesterday about her encountering cousin now that he thinks about. At least he understands how she feels.

Maybe this wasn't bad idea after all.

There she was. Talking with the same person again. He still couldn't see their face, but that wasn't important at that moment. Diane was important at this moment.

His heart was still beating loudly, but now he felt he can do it.

BA BUMP! BA BUMP!

Instead of anxiety, he felt determintion…

BA BUMP!! BA BUMP!!

His pretended smile was replaced with genuine…

BABUMPBABUMBABUMP!!!

This was it. This was the moment. There was no turning back. Now that he stopped overthinking, he couldn't help but admit how indeed she looks. That thought made his tail wagged a little, but he controlled himself at least…

BABUMPBABUMBABUMP!!!!!

Just few more steps. He got this. He's almost there. He's…

Wolfervile…

BA...

At that moment, his heart stopped beating as he felt unpleasant chill running through his spine. As if someone was wacthing him... like a predator watching his prey. And he was like prey. In a quick moment, he turned around to look behind, only to see no one. At least no one who would pay attention towards him. Everyone chatted to each other. That was... strange. Did he just imagine it? But he could sworn someone said that... that 'word'. Or rather a name. The same name that he heard only once.

Wolfervile…

Did he imagine it as well? But why? Why that name bothers him so much? Who is a Wolfervile?

"Maybe Shark was right. I'm getting paranoid," he muttered, shaking his head. He decided to not dwell on it as he continued his path.

Unfortunately since he was watching from behind instead to where he's suppossed to go, he accidentally bumped into old man in exaggerated fancy suit and made him spill his drink, leaving a puddle behind.

The old man in his 50s named Terry Bottomhill wasn't very happy. “My drink! Look what you've done!”

“I'm so sorry, I didn't see you.” Wolf said apologetically. Gosh, he's definitely off his game today.

“Are you blind?!” Terry yelled “I was right there front of you! You did that on purpose!”

“No, it was an accident I swear.” Wolf tried to defending himself while also trying to calm down the situation.

The slight commotion attracted some guests around including Chief Luggins who was not far from the scene with Officer Susanna and Officer Bob. At first, the chief wanted to intervene as she was thinking Wolf was up to no good. But remembering how her last intervention backfired and made her look like fool herself. So she decided to watch from behind waiting for opportunity to strike.

As for Diane, she was far from that scene to notice as she had deep conversation with someone. But someone not far was paying attention.

The old man didn't listen however. “Yeah, right.” He said sarcastically. Then he muttered under breath, “Stupid mutt.”

Wolf did hear it thought and he felt slightly offened by that statement. He then noticed chief in crowd. Not wanting to make things worse, he decided to leave the scene as he obviously wasn't welcome here and just walked towards Diane.

What he didn't expect however was old man grabbing his tail, which made him flinch in discomfort with a painful gasps as tears seemed to come out a bit.

“Where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you!” Terry said with a growled.

Meilin was talking to Snake when she noticed something going on and gasped, followed by Snake who spotted his son’s tail was grabbed by this old man, followed by Catalina who was beyond shocked and angry at the same time. Everyone was shocked by man's rude behaviour. Including the chief herself who coulnd't believe her eyes, even Susanna was shocked by the scene that was happening.

Wolf was getting sadly annoyed with man's attitude, but he still kept his composure. “Okay. First of, hands off my tail. It is inappropriate to touch it without permission.” He said calmly while snatching his tail from jerk's grasp. “And secondly, I think we've already done here. So, I'll be leaving.” But the old man didn't get the hint as he stood in front of canine, blocking his way. “Come on man, this is getting ridiculous. Just let me go.”

“Ohohoho no. You're not going anywhere.” Terry said in slurred voice. Wolf now l noticed that the man's breath was reeking from alcohol. And strongly. Just how many shots that guy had? Wolf's face scrunched in disgust as he covered his nose from that awful smell. “What's the matter? Scared? Are you gonna run with tail between your legs, you so-called Big Bad Wolf?” The canine looked at him in surprise as the old man continued. “Oh, yes. I know who you are. You honestly think I'm that stupid? You may have fooled everyone, but I can tell you're up to no good.” As he said that, some other people in tacky costumes joined him and it seems they agree with him while giving Wolf nasty look.

Catalina didn’t like what she was seeing as she was about to walk towards that jerk when Snake hold her up and when she looked at him, he shook his head. He doesn’t want anymore trouble but he was actually keeping an eye on Wolf in case if there’s any reason. The rest of the Bad Guys and the Panda Squad weren’t sure what to do but they wait for the right moment to wait.

“Hey, now…” Wolf tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by that jerk.

“You may look fancy in that suit and act civilized at all, but I know what you are. Nothing but a vicious wild animal.” Terry smirk.

That really ticked off Wolf as he was getting tired of these accustion already by the way his fist were clenched in rage and his growl softened but deadly at the same time. He tried to control his bubbling anger though while also at the same gave the rude man and his pseudo-peer calm yet cold response. “You don’t know me. You don’t even know the real me. Only because all of you are so scared of the big bad wolf myself.”

That really hit Chief Misty Luggins as she heard those words before. Was that little girl with the red hair right? Have they've really been blinded by their fear and predujice towards the Bad Guys the whole time?

Wolf then noticed that Diane was leaving. No not now, he thought. He can't lose her now. He took deep breath to calm hiself and then he spoke. “Look, I don't have time for this. So, if you could move out, I'll be going.”

He was about to move, but then...

“Oh no, you don't!!!”

...that old jerk pushed backwards. Now Wolf was really mad and he would probably said something snarky, if his foot didn't step on that puddle, the source of mess, which made him slip. In panic the canine spun with arms trying to regain balance, but no avail he was heading down towards ground headfirst. He closed his eyes bracing himself for impact, when suddenly a hand out of nowhere caught his just in time.

There was silence then.

Wolf didn't dare open his eyes as he still wasn't sure if he's safe. He even held the other hand just in case if the saviour decides to let go off his. That's when he heard it.

"Are you okay, pal?" said a voice in front of him. But it didn't sound like the rude old man. No, this one sounded much younger, more gentle, caring and also... familiar?

Finally, Wolf opened his eyes to look and realized that the savior's hand belong to a handsome stranger... wait, not just a handsome stranger... but a handsome raccoon in purple tuxedo…

He was also wearing a blue vest matching bow-tie and white. As well as black trousers and white and blue shoes.

Wolf couldn't see face properly as the light aimed directly at him from behind, casting a shadow in front of him. Though it also made him look like he has a halo around head. Talk about being saved by an angel. Yet his eyes shined under reflection of other light behind canine. And Wolf could see that they're brown.

Just like... Wait a minute, wait a second… Could it be?

The raccoon stranger then genuinely smiled at him as he spoke, "Good thing I was close by."

Wolf was still unsure, but then at the corner of his eye he noticed something familiar. On the raccoon's other hand he held a familiar cane. Despite looking smaller and having a strange ruby on it, he could recognize the shape of hook as he was caught by once.

And that moment the only thought crossed into Wolf's mind as his eyes widened in shock: 'Sly?!'

(Next time; there’s a spark between SlyWolf as everything seemed to be a blast with the song from the Panda Squad to calm the situation down until…)
