Show a little respect

            “    They’re dinosaurs. ‘Wow’ enough.     “

I’m making an indie Jurassic World roleplayer masterlist; if you’d like to be added to the list, please reblog this post.

          Her heart was POUNDING, she snapped and hissed           at the guards.  She didn’t want them a n y w h e r e near           her.  Everywhere she turned, every step she took brought           the raptor closer to another gun.  She HATED this. Echo           could vaguely hear the sound of her ALPHA’S voice.  It           calmed her down slightly, but it still wasn't enough. The            sound of her sisters calling her from within the paddock            stressed her out even more. 

            Echo didn’t respond at first to the sound of Owen’s           whistle.  She couldn’t help but try and keep her eyes on           e v e r y single human that stood around her.  What if they           tried to attack? What if they tried to blindside her? She shifted          restlessly on her feet and her tail swung back and forth anxiously. 

           “— let me see those eyes.  Look at me not them.”   

            Echo made a distressed call as she looked at her ALPHA.            His presence calmed her considerably, however the anxiety           was still there. She was alone and without her pack.  A sitting duck.      

       The guards flinched back from those deadly jaws and he  felt like letting her have at them. They nearly deserve to be  eaten after all this shit. “I said back the hell up! Get back in your damn van. If I can’t get her, then you can try, got it?!” Reluctantly, the ACU began to draw away, but kept their eyes and weapons on the raptor as they fell back.        Owen’s narrowed eyes nervously took in every detail of the raptor, how her tail flicked and her eyes swept back and forth over the ACU team, how her raspy voice rose in a high pitched alarm. It pissed him off, seeing Echo so clearly anxious and perhaps even --frightened.         Come on, focus. Focus, girl.        And she did, thank God. Those slitted eyes came to rest on  him and he nodded and clicked in his teeth in encouragement.        “That’s the way. You’re okay, Echo. You’re not alone.” In reality, the girls knew only key words, or so he thought. But he gave reassurance anyway, hoping it came across one way or another. Slowly, he stretched out a hand, waving her forward.       “Here, Echo. Come to me. Just me.”

                                ” Don’t you give me that shit. ”

“Think you can keep your girls from eating  me long enough for me to do my job?

       “D’ya think you can show a little respect and trust me to do mine?”  Seriously, if he didn’t have faith in him, why even risk it?

But it was a Raptor. Did he not understand the depths of his words?! Here he’d come with his family, as a well to do director from LA to film a promo and this man had just shown him a raptor - not only shown but actively controlled the thing. So he’d spoken out of turn in dumbfounded-ness. He was not unaccustomed to reading people on set but animals were another thing entirely, yet alone a dinosaur. Clearing his throat he looked askance to the man with a curt nod, “Apologies, this is just a bit more than what I’m accustomed to.”

      “That’s understandable, but you have to realize, you can’t slip up around these creatures. Not once. A mistake means  d e a t h, so I need to be completely focused while you’re here, got it?”        The words were spoken without formality and hardly a trace  of respect either.Having this Hollywood big-shot so close to the animals was a dip-shit idea, one corporate foolishly allowed once the right dollar signs appeared. So, Owen had to cooperate, but that didn’t mean he had to like it.

  “If you ask me, she was being rude.” Blue mumbled    from where she sat almost perched on top of one the    shorter fences. She was messing with her nails a bit    to avoid eye contact with Owen because seeing that    disappointed look in his eye was her least favorite    thing. “I don’t have to knock it off.”

      “WelI I didn’t ask you, so I don’t care.” Not once did his eyes waver as he glared down at her, satisfied to see her look away. She felt chastised, if not sorry. That was something.       “And you do have to knock it off, or else deal with the consequences. It’s your choice, Blue, but I’d suggest you get your ass off your shoulders and straighten up.”

                     raptrespect liked for a starter!

         Echo had gotten out of the paddock— The gate         was up a little to high and open a little too long.          She had SLIPPED through the opening and ran         after her pray. Sadly the prey had gotten away and         now she was SURROUNDED.  She felt trapped.          The third eldest was in DISTRESS. 

        The circle of guards with stun guns and taser spears at the ready was abruptly broken, the wall shattered with one angry shove. “Stand down! All of you idiots stand down and back away from MY raptor. All this--,” he gestured brusquely, a jerk of his palm indicating the mass of armored men and weaponry encroaching on the single dinosaur, “--is freaking the hell out of her. Back up and let me do my damn job!”        Without pause, Owen walked carefully toward his lost girl, whistling softly to get her attention. “Hey, pretty girl, lemme see those eyes. Look at me, not them.” Getting her attention was the first priority. If she decided to focus in on one of the stupid ACU members instead, this little pow-wow could get ugly.
