It was early morning in the animal kingdom, barely a minute after the park's allotted opening time. However this was more then enough time for one figure to break away from the massed crowds and speed away to the tiger enclosure, for if there was one thing that Vidia had always prided herself on, it was her speed. However she was here with a purpose today, a purpose for which she had long since devised her plan. She had rather a soft spot for the animal kingdom, due to it being far less artificial then the parks that bordered it, as well as more in tune with nature. However the one thing she hated about it, was the amount of tourists who packed themselves into it and ruined the otherwise tranquility.
She had spent several days in a blind spot of the camera, crafting what was essentially a ramp, which she now moved to the tiger enclosure. Grinning, she steered the beasts with a few well placed gusts of wind and steered all of them up the ramp and away into the park. She was aware that the park security would have witnessed this on the cameras and would now remove the guests, however to be sure, she quickly flitted to several other locations and ensured that the most dangerous animals in the park were all loose to rampage around.
As the first cast member approached, she swooped down in her flight, deftly swiping their ID card and soaring away again. The fast-flying fairy headed straight to the main control room, which as per her expectation was almost deserted, and a slight jolt of lightning knocked out those remaining so that she could haul them (aided of course by fairy dust) out into the hall. Working quickly she disengaged all of the remaining locks so that the animals couldn't be re-penned and, using the monitors to guide her, locked up as many cast members as possible before they could attempt to end the chaos.
Finally she accessed the security information, setting the card she'd stolen as the only one that would be able to access this room and end the chaos. Satisfied, she arced away out of a tiny window, leaving the room locked from the inside and settling in a tree to watch her plan unfold.

Kida stood stock still as she watched a strange flying human flitting about, releasing some of the parks animals, and attacking the gaurds. Kida bit her lip in frustration. Her father had told her to avoid conflict when possible, she wasn't so sure what she could do in this situation. With a sigh Kida hesitantly stepped forward.
"Ummm, excuse me." She said meekly raising a finger. "May I ask what you are er... that is... doing?"

[This is so tempting XD]
Marvin hadn't gone to sleep that night. Or any other night in his life. He was a robot - robots never slept. Even Marvin, who was designed to act like a human being, was incapable of sleep. Marvin didn't pay much attention to this matter. He just felt like giving up on life in general. Yet, there was always something holding him back. Whatever it was, there was something keeping Marvin from giving up.
"Oh, just another day of endless sorrows," Marvin said to himself. "Why don't I just give up?"
He began to hang his giant head, when his impeccable robotic line of vision caught something in a tree. It was a pixie - sitting with an evil and satisfied smirk on her face. Standing near her was a native of some sort. Usually, Marvin would be able to identify. What, with his planet-sized brain and all. But never had he seen or heard of a person with dark skin and white hair. How odd.
Marvin decided not to say hello. He never felt like doing anything.

Vidia looked down as she heard a voice address her, annoyed that she had been identified as the cause of the ruckus so soon.
How on Earth did she pin it to me so fast? Must have seen me in action...
She leant over the edge of the branch, gazing down upon a strange looking woman whose hair seemed unnaturally light to go with her dark skin, as well as a medium sized automaton that was shiny and white, however seemed to be... well could a robot actually feel boredom? This one certainly seemed to be attempting to do so. However, she wasn't one to deny the truth when she was confronted, so decided on the spot to tell the truth.
"I like this park," she stated, waving one arm in a serene arc to indicate the animal kingdom that surrounded them, "it's more in tune with the natural world then that ghastly plastic monstrosity over there." She pointed over the treetops to the magic kingdom as she said this, where the top of the castle could just be seen from ground level. "The only problem is the crowds. I hate people, so I decided to remove them from this park." At that moment a snarl emanated from the trees, revealing two rather large tigers that emerged and slowly advanced.
"You're hardly going to hurt innocent animals," she added with a giggles, "so I guess you can only... run!"

Clayton heard the chaos in the Animal Kingdom from a ways off. His honed senses told him where each animal was, what it was and how many of them were loose. The hunter unslung his rifle from its holster and proceeded forward.
The park staff was trying to keep the visitors away from the area, giving Clayton an ideal chance to sneak though their thin defenses. He was now in his element, on the track of his prey. Pushing his way back onto one of the areas many trails, Clayton spotted a familiar face.
"Hello again, Your Highness," he said to Kida, bowing as he came forward. "What seems to be the ruckus? Who might you're friends be?"

Tigers? Marvin facepalmed. This was just going to be one of those days, wasn't it? One of those Narrowly-Avoiding-Peril days. At least he didn't have Arthur Dent to worry about. Though maybe he should be here, Marvin thought. It would be somewhat amusing watching him being chased by those tigers.
Marvin's problem was, he was unintentionally mean. Of course, he was depressed, therefore not making him the most pleasant robot to be around. It was almost as if being nasty gave him just some satisfaction. But of course, he meant it all in a loving way, according to Trillian.
Somebody else, some old hunter, had joined them. Marvin had still not introduced himself. What's the point? He thought. But for some reason, he now felt inclined. Arthur and Trillian's behavior was rubbing off on him. Hopefully Zaphod's wouldn't be next.
Marvin sadly sauntered up to the group. "Hello," he started. "I'm Marvin. Can't see why you'd care, though."

Kida watched the tigers carefully, they weren't anything she couldn't take, but she might as well be cautious. Kida turned around at the sound of a strange metallic voice, a large white... creature stood before her, his proportions mirroring a babies. He was so... CUTE!!
"Oh my, hello little one!" She exclaimed happily wrapping her arms around his round little head. "Aren't you so cute!" Kida withdrew herself as she saw the hunter, Clayton approach. She was still unsure wether he was a friend or foe, but he seemed nice enough now. "Hello Mr. Clayton," Kida said with a slight bow. She shook her head coming back to reality, "Oh this... girl loosed all of these creatures, and well I came to investigate, and this robot came along." Kida stopped hoping she didn't sound to stupid.

Vidia scowled as another man stepped out of the trees. He seemed to be some sort of hunter, at the very least to a fairy who was in tune with nature he stank of blood and death. She wrinkled her nose, noticing that the two tiger who had been preparing to pounce also recognised the danger and retreated back into the trees.
“Typical,” she muttered under her breath, “I try to create solitude and what happens? Everyone is paying attention to me.” She leapt into the air, snapping her wings open to catch herself and swerving around back into the trees. She conjured a powerful gust of wind as she went, using it to steer the tigers around in a wide arc and back into the clearing, where they finally leapt onto the group, having been sufficiently angered by the unnatural gale that buffeted them from all sides.
“Oh dear,” giggled Vidia, settling on the branch once again, “looks like they’re cross.” Across the park similar scenes were being repeated, and cast members were losing their individual battles to restore order.

Clayton listened to the pair's account while his eyes moved around for the park for the loose animals. When he saw the tigers were moving in their direction, the hunter stepped in from of Kida and got ready for the fight.

"Cute? Please, I'm a robot, not a puppy. Nobody cares about me. I'll just leave now."
Marvin didn't have time for this. The tigers were ready to attack, and the hunter would surely have a good time. But Marvin ws thinking maybe he'd just get back on board his spaceship and hope that Zaphod wouldn't find him. It was just one of those days.
Just as he was about to leave the hunter and the Native to fend for themselves, something in his robotic mind clicked. Was he really going to leave them alone, where they'd most likely be destroyed? Marvin lowered his head and heaved a robotic sigh.
"I hope you're happy, Arthur Dent," he mumbled.
And back over he went. "I don't see why you'd need my help. But I'm here. Don't mind me or anything."

Kida squealed unhappily as the tigers turned towards the group. She quickly grabbed dagger, thankful that the hunter had one of the fire shots. She gave a strange look to the little robot as he murmered something about a dent. "So umm, what are these creatures, are they... dangerous?" Kida whispered to Clayton worriedly.
