( >> Planned thread… yes I know this is a little weird but it’ll be explained shooortlyyyy)
Dash gazed down at his reflection in the water beneath him, listening to it as it burbled under the bridge. He could hear the birds singing melodiously in the trees, the wind weaving through leaves of the forest, and the chirr of summer insects. The sun was shining brightly and the clouds were only wisps in the azure sky.
Comfort.
Security.
Peace.
Only one thing was missing.
“Hey!”
He blinked, and turned, then smiled at the approaching figure. Now nothing was missing.
“I was wondering where you-

CRASH.
Shattered glass and pieces of wood went flying through the air, glittering in the sunlight filtering through. Accompanied was a shining flash of something metallic and a blur of teal and cream as a figure went flying through the closed window and landed somewhere in the room.
That somewhere happened to be a bed.
And the figure was now sitting on top of its occupant.

 And there went that dream. Of course, waking someone up by crashing through their window and landing on them probably wasn't the best way to wake someone. They tended to wake up angry and/or bewildered. Which wasn't generally good when the one being woken up was also covered in hundreds of sharp pointy spines. " WHAT THE- GET OFF YOU DOOF!" |

 Lance sat there where he'd landed indignantly for a brief moment. Then instantly his face twisted in a pained expression as, unfortunately for the wolf, Dash had been laying on his stomach. Which meant the wolf was sitting on the tenrec's spines. ... He leapt up into the air with a yelp. |

And once the tenrec was no longer pinned under WOLF BOTTOM he jumped out of the bed, obviously disgruntled (angry afro, anyone?). He tried to yell at Lance, but seeing as he was still half asleep and mostly out of it he couldn't think of anything coherent to yell other then "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Well, he kind of knew what the wolf was doing. Running around the room screaming with a rear full of spines. Which he deserved. Oh so totally deserved. But why? Didn't really know. Or why the wolf had flown through the window like some kind of mentally defunct kamikaze hell bat. |

"DAMN. YOU. AND THOSE. SPINES!" Lance protested loudly as he gingerly began removing them from his rear.  And it was that moment Bunnie appeared looking through the broken window. "Oh stars, Dash! Are ya'll alright?!" she turned furious eyes up toward the wolf. |

He was more awake now, but things weren't making anymore sense. Then Bunnie showed up. "Am I alright?" He paused and checked himself over, glancing over his shoulder at his back. "A little balder, but..." He turned to the hole where the window *had* been. "I think the window got the worse of it." Pause. He turned to Lance. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU BREAK MY WINDOW?" |

"SHE DID IT!" the wolf pointed frantically at Bunnie with one hand while still gingerly removing quills with another. "She THREW ME!" "Ya'll deserved it, ya darned cotton pickin' lowlife!" she snarled and looked at Dash. "Honey, Ah'm sorry about ya'll's window. Ah wasn't taking no aim when Ah sent there here scoundrel flyin' for tryin' to grope me!" "THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" |

Dash buried his face in his hands then, after a few moments, spoke. "I'm very very sorry to hear that, Miss Bunnie. But you have to excuse him. It's not that he doesn't know better, it's that he's too stupid to act it." |

The tenrec crossed his arms and glared at the wolf. "If it wasn't true you wouldn't off been thrown though my window." |

"It ISN'T! This is a misunderstanding!" Lance fumed. The rabbit frowned hotly as she spoke to Dash. "... Ya'll need a new window. Ah'll see what Ah can find." She made a 'humph' sound at Lance and marched off. |

Dash sighed and watched as Bunnie marched off, running his hands through his quills again in an attempt to get them to lay flat again. They didn't really want to do that though, it seemed, as some of them insisted on sticking straight up- it happened sometimes. Oh well. He was more worried that it seemed like they were thinning, then again, with all the ones that got lodged in that stupid wolf it wasn't a surprise. At this rate he'd be bald by the end of the week. His attention turned to the draft coming from the 'open' window, and the glass and wood fragments now lying in his bed. Broken glass. Whee. That'd be fun to pick out of the bedsheets, like cookie crumbs that make you bleed if you miss one. Meh. Maybe he'll just sleep on the couch for awhile... And then he turned to the wolf, frowning. "You know, these people are pretty nice- letting us stay here after what happened to our home. Why do you have to be such a doof and make everyone your enemy? I mean it's the first day. They can learn you're a jerk in the passing days, you don't need to do it now, specially when they're feeling so hospitable to us." |

The wolf inhaled a sharp breath through his teeth as the last few quills were plucked free. And, in what was sheer force of will, straightened himself and glared over at Dash without sign of pain, the bristles on his back and tail still raised. A moment passed, and a grin cracked his face. "Oh come on, like you can deny that was one hot babe. I'll bet you've wanted to grab that yourself," his grin broadened. |

Dash just... kinda stared blankly at the wolf, not exactly believing that he said what he just did. "... Now... see. That's what I'm talking about. Do you even think about the things you say or does it come directly from the idiot section of your brain and spew out like some kind of fountain of pure dumb?" He paused, then pointed at the hole in the wall. " I'm expecting you to fix that, by the way." He was also, knowing Lance, expecting the wolf to try and weasel out of it. Not this time. Not if he could help it. |

Lance's grin faded, and one eyebrow hiked upward. His bristles, which had just begun to settle back down, shot straight up again. "Screw that. That dame's the one who threw me, make her do it." he turned, snorted, and casually began walking toward the door. |

Yup. Trying to weasel out of it. Not going to have that, no siree. Specially not after a day like today. "You're going to fix that window or so help me I'll willingly make myself go bald just to put you into a world of hurt." And he meant it. |

And the wolf stopped dead in his tracks, glaring at Dash out of the corner of his eye as his lip curled back. "What makes you think you can?" |

Lance turned toward the tenrec fully and grinned toothily. Then he began laughing. "Phsh, yeah, accident. That's all you're good for." He snerked and waved his hand at Dash, turned, and walked out the door. |

The tenrec's spines bristled again. However, this time it was on purpose. "Suit yourself." And then Dash did a tackle that'd make a football player proud. A tackle with spines. Sharp. Pointy. Barbed. Spines. Ho'boy. |

Lance's eyes bulged and a pained squeak gurgled in the back of his throat as Dash landed on top of him, the two flying out through the door and tumbling into the dirt outside. Pain that rather quickly boiled into a searing anger. His robotic eye lit ablaze, and an enraged snarl spread itself from one ear to another. The next thing the tenrec would see was a mechanical fist heading straight for his jaw. [dice=10][rand=6286966346702108985651877093467906378243875840417762770107555119] |

And suddenly, Dash remembered something and wished he hadn't run into this.
Lance's fists were totally made of metal.
Metal hurt.
He didn't even get to complete that thought before Lance's fist made contact and he was sent tumbling like a rag doll.
Metal hurt. Metal hurt real bad.
On the bright side, those stars that came out of nowhere were awful pretty!
...
Which way was up anyway?[rand=09570232626486042199180130011497698950262867915239158160927853926]

Dash was down, but the wolf wasn't finished yet. Lance dove with an almost crazed expression, tackling the prone tenrec and rearing his fist back... POW.Another strike to Dash's jaw, quickly followed by another as the wolf let his newborn rage block out all thought. Bunnie gasped in shock and anger at the sight she had just been greeted with, nearing dropping the glass pane had had been carrying. Hastily setting it on the ground she took off running, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" she snarled. Pushing her feet off the ground she sailed into the air, shifting her hips to send a flying sidekick straight at the wolf. Hurt him, Lance's mind snarled. Beat him to a PULP!Bunnie's kick hit the wolf solidly, the impact throwing him off the tenrec and making him roll through the dirt. Even madder now, he staggered back up and snarled at the rabbit. She wants a fight... I'LL HURT HER TOO! his snarl returned as he hunched over. With that same crazed look he dove at her... only for the rabbit to step to the side, snatch him by an arm and throw him straight into the dirt. "WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG WITH YA'LL?!" Lance didn't answer, the pain in his body still fueling his irrational fury. He picked himself up, eyeing her wildly and preparing to strike again. As he did Bunnie once again moved out of his way, only this time she slung him into a sleeper hold. "Okay buster, ya'll leave me little choice," she threatened, keeping a tight hold on the wolf until he finally slipped out of consciousness. Laying him down she turned toward Dash to get a better look at him. It didn't take an in-depth inspection to tell he was in pretty bad shape though. The rabbit stood, running off toward the village. "Rosie! ROSIE!" she called out as she searched for the woodchuck.[rand=56439210950204850339907545824650363251632456395769803994472834183]

What's the matter now? Bloody dead unconscious hedgehog tenrec with probably a broken or at least dislocated jaw. Word to the wise: Never EVER fight a guy who's fists are literally made of steel. |

"Those two new boys got in a mighty bad fight," she said hurriedly, leading the woodchuck toward the scene. "That dirty fox, he poor the crud outts poor Dash!" They arrived in front of the tenrec's hut and Bunnie hurried over to his side. Lance still laying not far away. |

"Oh dear..." She said, hurrying to his other side and began examining him. "...Broken jaw...looks like at least two...no three, he almost swallowed this one, missing teeth..." She sighed, "it's a good thing Rotor just finished that blender for me, cause I don't think this boy's going to be eating solid food any time soon. I trust whoever is responsible for this has been dealt with?"
