OP: Nautilus - African Safari Filler!

18th Century African Hunting Filler Arc

Ash - english hunter has a monocle instead of an eyepatch
Jigen - native tarzan raised by native ostriches
Teila - ferryman from Atlantis has a tiger (normal sized) travels to Africa a lot

Benigan, a well known hunter, wants Ash to go bag this super amazing famous the world over kill. Tea. He's to set up a small team. He picks the first to people he sees, the ferrygirl and the native. Vince is Teila's deckhand. He lives there now. "Boring means not dying." "Where's the fun in that?" "In the living part. Wait.. will we get paid if you die?" "Sure." "Then I'm game." Get to Nigerian village. "Hey Ostrich Man!" "Yes Colonel Windbag?" "No, I'm not him." "He's not paying us in food, is he?" "I don't think so, but we should check later." There are giant spiders! There are swarms of datsun buffalo that blacken the plains, climb on a man and leave nothing but bones! There are things with hats! Stay the night in town. And we fly in a daVinci pedal plane. I have never been up this high before! Teila wraps her tentacles around the pedals and pulls them instead of pushing. Naut is puffed up. Vince is using Coward's Glue! Taken to an animal preserve. Zebra in a gelatinous cube. Escorted to a fancy huge ass mansion. Snakeflamingoes are awkward. Benigan has Greg mounted above his fireplace it sings and is really creepy. Benigan sits in a white tuxedo with bodyguard Cody. "This is Naut." "Not what?" "Ha!" First time someone made that joke. I'm ashamed of all of you. We're hunting Ivory Bull. "There's strawberry in my cake!" Abigail's the cook here. Carnal. Carnal. Carnal. "Humans are weird." "I'm not a human." "I wasn't talking about you." "I'm an ostrich." "Anyway." Vince and Teila eat an entire cake. Jigen eats an entire buffalo. Three times. By vomiting it up like a bird. Weapons room of guns and lances and guns. Jigen picks a large sword. Teila tries to hold 6 guns. "Hey look at me." "snrk.. You're a real badass." "I think just two then." Ash picks a mace chain. Vince takes every gun he can hold. "I'm mostly just for show." "Show what?" "Sho nuff!" Jakis carry out the food wearing tribal facemasks because Abigail is a big soulful black woman. Teila is strangely confident with the guns! Later she will blow her limbs off. "So does everyone still hate you?" At the crack of dawn we are woken up. Jigen is sticky and bathes in the fountain. Jigen has a giant wind machete. Everyone fails at tracking except Vince who logic's the fuck out of it. Vince leads us to a stream and screams so high only dogs can hear. The Ivory Bull is down the stream smoking. It sees us. Jigen goes into the trees. Cody goes in the water. Teila goes invisible. Ash is alone! Except for Vince attached to his ribs and Benigan "Holy crap." The bull bitchslaps Jigen out of the tree. Vince passes out still attached to Ash. Teila shoots a tree. Cody is slammed and coughs up blood. "Thar's babies!" Three little puffball puppies with horns. Jigen lands for awesome when thrown. Naut clings for dear life. Ash grapples with chain and asks Vince to set him on fire. Teila and Benigan climb the biggun. We can't kill it, it's a mommy. We only need the tusks. Vince lights Ash on fire and then judo backflips off Ash's head into a tree and fullbody tosses himself out of a window that he just built. The monster no longer remembers he exists. Ash flaming punches the bull in the nose, knocking his cigar out of it's mouth, breaking the chain, sending it flying onto it's back. And now he's on fire. Naut falls off but lands on his feet like a kitty, Teila and Benigan hang on. Teila drops from it's arm to it's neck. PARALYZEPARALYZEPARALYZE. Do it now! Cut tusks off. Jigen shoves the babies to the mommy and flees. Teila drops. "We're very sorry. They're very cute. I want to keep one, but that would be crazy. Kbye." Watercolor: Teila and Vince surrounded by gold, Jigen surround by food, Ash showing off his tusk, and Benigan posing for the camera. It was all Vince's dream.
