HUNT: You literally couldn't get out of bed

This is the Ouroboros Spine pack hunt you guys wanted. :D It will be led by @Mordecai and the next round will start on July 23. It's technically optional but there will be major brownie points in rank shuffles for participating members, and you get free EXP if you participate in all rounds!

Jinx was woken at dawn by the sound of static. She had never experienced it before, yet the pale Kesuk had responded to it with an expected level of irritation and annoyance. Never did she question its source. She merely dragged herself to her feet, gnawed insistently at the balding spot on her foreleg where the bat had bitten her (the flesh seemed to quiver constantly now, and her hide in other places seemed to twitch unexpectedly at times too), and emerged from beneath the roots of a tall fir.

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, watching as shadow owls danced among the tree branches. In recent days she had begun to see things that shouldn't have been there. She'd thought she'd seen a whale a day or two ago, even though the pack was nowhere near the ocean... And occasionally, the spectral wolverine she hadn't seen for months would materialize at the edge of her vision. It wore an unnatural grin.

There were times when she found herself salivating more than normal, as well. She chocked it up to stress and thirst, and never once stopped to consider other possibilities. Illness did not enter her mind, though it should have been the first thing a female mated to a healer thought. Today, thoughts of herself were far beyond her. Though the Alpha had definitely looked better and could have used more sleep, she hadn't forgotten Mordecai's desire to bring the pack together for a hunt. She threw back her head and howled haggardly, summoning the wolves of the Spine to her with a specific call for the aspiring Gamekeeper.

As she waited for them to arrive, she ducked to nibble at her foreleg some more, drooling carelessly on her paw in the process.
