OOC: This is an idea I got to develop the character of my new UN puppet. I know you probably shouldn't RP with puppets, but I got a cool idea with this one. You can take control of a character, or be poachers, or whatever.
Here's the deal: You could take over the character of an advisor(names don't matter), a hunter, poachers trying to kill rhinos, a middle class member of society, or a lower class member of society. You'll get it as soon as you read the article.

IC: Great Rhino II blew the horn. It was time to commence the move. The "modern" civilization was building a spaceport where they were making camp. They had to move across a river canyon, no easy task when moving 7 million people and about 5 million rhinos. But that was near the end of their journey. To begin, they simply had to cross hundreds of miles of plains. Great Rhino II, clad in a suit of leather made from Rhino skin, began trotting. His rhino, purely white with a massive nose horn, grunted with every step. Directly behind him were his top advisors, riding gray Rhinos. Behind them were the pack rhinos, carrying their belongings, and the homes that they lived in. And behind them, was the mass of the Rhino Fur nation, moving synchronized in a giant rectangle, marching in tempo to the thumping of the Great Rhino's legs. They marched for miles. Then....the mother lode! A herd of kudu had happened across the nation's path. The hunters broke away from the pack and spurred their rhinos into a charge. Some launched volleys of arrows into the pack, while others rode alongside and hurled spears into the herd. Great Rhino II charged headlong into the middle of the pack with his bone scimitar. He cut up the kudu physically, while cutting their herd in half. The rest of the nation took the oppurtunity to rest their rhinos. Finally, the herd had gone so far that pursuing them would be a detriment. The dead kudu-there were hundreds-were cleaned and eaten: The rations began at the front of the herd and passed back, assuring that the lower class at the back of the herd received as little as possible. Then they had to continue, Great Rhino II blowing his horn three times, then once, to celebrate the hunt and once again commence the move.
