nature’s bitches

(7:00) mathememetics: so sorry i couldn't make it to the meeting everyone!! howd it go whats our plan of action

(7:01) pose(bi)don: well coran tried calling the police but that acxa chick was in and she laughed and told us to go fuck ourselves so

(7:01) sunshine: Yeah, we’re on our own.

(7:02) pose(bi)don: basically we are going to put together a stealth team to infiltrate their base and get our lion back

(7:02) kitty whisperer: by base do you mean the zoo

(7:02) pose(bi)don: of course thats what i mean, keep up, three days grace

(7:03) the alpha male: Since Lance did a stellar job of explaining everything and yet nothing, what we’re going to do first is locate where exactly in the zoo Charcoal is. Once we find out where they're keeping him, we strike.

(7:03) queen sappho: “strike” meaning sneak in at night and take him back

(7:03) pose(bi)don: hey! my explanation was amazing Thank You Very Much

(7:04) kitty whisperer: your explanation explained absolutely nothing. it actually inspired more questions. you did negative explaining

(7:04) pose(bi)don: thats not even possible

(7:04) kitty whisperer: you're not possible

(7:04) polar pop: oh get a room

(7:05) mathememetics: so we’re actually breaking in to the galra zoo? man this shit is getting intense

(7:05) polar pop: coran assigned a committee to decide who goes on the first mission and i think we’re about ready to make the announcement, right hunk?

(7:05) sunshine: Yeah.

(7:05) polar pop: should i do it?

(7:05) sunshine: Be my guest.

(7:09) Keith Kogane (Cat House): Great! When is this planned for?

(7:09) Coran Smythe (Your Boss): You five get together and come up with a game plan and a date. When you have your plan, see me and I’ll get you anything you need. Remember, this is a stealth operation only. Little to no contact should be made with Galra employees. We do not want to blow our cover.

(7:09) Lance Acosta (Aquarium): ooohhh we need to make a group chat

(7:09) Thace Clerivin (Cat House): We really don’t

(7:09) Katie Holt (Igloo): no lance wait

(7:09) Lance Acosta (Aquarium): hold up fam here we go

 

lancey lance created the chat super secret super spy squad

lancey lance added nyma kick ur ass , cat meowgane , x-files theme , and bite me daddy

 

(7:10) bite me daddy: Lance PLEASE

(7:10) lancey lance: my hand slipped ;)

(7:10) bite me daddy: Oh, this was a bad idea

(7:10) x-files theme: lance i don't even watch this show

(7:11) nyma kick ur ass: what the fuck is this

(7:11) lancey lance: we got picked to do the first operation: thundercat mission

(7:11) cat meowgane: operation: thundercat?

(7:11) lancey lance: yeah! bc charcoal is a lion like lion-o and his roar sounds like thunder and also it’s just a super lit show

(7:12) nyma kick ur ass: can't argue with that logic

(7:12) lancey lance: THANK YOU, nyma! someone here gets me

(7:12) cat meowgane: we need a game plan. anyone got any ideas how to get into the zoo?

(7:12) lancey lance: hmm

(7:13) lancey lance: maybe we could tunnel in?

(7:14) nyma kick ur ass: we could get employee uniforms and sneak in through the back

(7:14) x-files theme: i could hack into their security cameras

(7:14) bite me daddy: What would that accomplish

(7:14) x-files theme: idk i just feel like it will be necessary at some point

(7:15) cat meowgane: seriously guys. this isn’t a joke. we have to come up with a plan so we can go in there and find charcoal.

(7:15) lancey lance: don't worry, keith. we’ll get your lion back. we’re just trying to lighten the mood for you

(7:15) lancey lance: i vote we get some disguises and go in there and just look around like tourists. if they have charcoal they’re probably not showing him off just yet, so we have to find out where they could be keeping him. thace, you got any ideas?

(7:15) bite me daddy: I have a few. Is everyone available Friday?

(7:15) lancey lance: i am

(7:15) cat meowgane: yeah

(7:15) nyma kick ur ass: yup

(7:15) x-files theme: i guess i am

(7:16) bite me daddy: Great. That’s when we’ll go. We’ll split up: Lance and Keith will start in the east side of the park, Pidge and Nyma will search the west, and Coran and myself will search the center.

(7:16) lancey lance: wait, corans going?

(7:16) bite me daddy: He just messaged me, requesting to come with us. I accepted on behalf of the entire group

(7:16) x-files theme: oh

(7:16) nyma kick ur ass: wait why are the boys and girls split up? thace are you being sexist

(7:16) x-files theme: nah he just ships it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(7:17) lancey lance: why do you keep saying that

(7:17) cat meowgane: what does it MEAN

(7:17) nyma kick ur ass: OH

Notes:

sorry there was so little focus on the group!! next chapter will be better for them.
i have bad commitement skills and i was thinking about just letting this go like many other stories i've started but never finished, but the consistent comments and kudos kept bugging me! thank you all for your comments, they really inspired me to keep going.

Notes:

i promise there is a plot

for reference, they all work at a zoo called altea’s worldwide animal exhibit and theme park. the mammals are separated by continent of origin, and the birds, reptiles, and aquatic life are in separate areas of the park. the big cats have their own area, called the cat house, and all of the polar (arctic and antarctic) life is in one area, which is commonly called the igloo. lance works in the aquarium, keith works in the cat house, pidge works in the igloo, allura works in the australia area, matt works in the aviary, hunk works in africa, shiro works in north america, and coran is the overall director of the zoo. other characters will be introduced, but those are the main important ones.

please please comment!!! i want to know what i'm doing right and what i can improve on. also the title is not concrete and will probably change so i am open to suggestions.
