The Running Meal JR! is a sub-profile of
The_Running_Meal that caters exclusively to younger characters, typically twelve and under for the Orange and Purple leagues, listed again here for convenience (but don't forget to read the original profile!):
The 'orange' league, for ages 8-12, sometimes grouped into subcategories: The youngest serious competitors go into this league; prizes usually consist of game systems and other youth-directed goods, and everyone receives a set of nice secondary prizes for participating, regardless of success. Maze elements are toned down even further: where a rock wall climb might be included in upper levels, a rope ladder workaround may be available (but out of the way) for those lacking the strength and skill to climb.
The 'purple' league, ages 7 and under: all emphasis on collecting prizes is removed, all children in this league get the same prizes without needing to find them. Easy courses and lenient Hunters encourage the kids to have fun with the chase and obstacles, and most eaten children are released three minutes from swallowing to give them additional chances and keep the emphasis on enjoying the experience. Not usually broadcast as it is essentially a playground daycare, this league helps form future generations of Meals as well as generate publicity and fundraising for worthy causes. (DVDs are available, and some people buy them, so there's little accounting for taste.)
Some of the Hunters:
A large pure white she-wolf of nine feet with a mix of yellow and blue eyes and a splotch of grey around the blue eye, Jane is a popular Hunter, often considered a favorite by those having "secret" desires to get eaten and among the Junior Leagues ("Tha' woof's gonna eat us!" "Yeah, but she's rilly nice 'bout it, and she lets ya out...") A real sweetheart, she's developed a fervent fan-base, and rumors of a DVD-special starring her get thrown about on a regular basis.
Another sweetheart fan-favorite is Leena ((
Leena_Foxfire)), a tall red-furred vixen with all the enmity of a chocolate sundae. Also popular in the Junior leagues, Leena and Jane do most of the Orange and Purple league Hunting, though Meals of all ages find themselves wondering if losing some of the prizes might be worth a trip to her tummy. If foxes are your favorite, Leena is your gal!
Black-furred and fangs-bared, Rufus is the resident 'tough-guy' of the Hunters' troupe, the wolf showing a relentless drive to catch any Meals he sees, sometimes swallowing them two at a time. The ladies love him, the guys fear him, and the children watch in silent awe as Rufus finds his prey and offers no reprieve in eating them (he's rumored to dislike having to return the Meals after the show, but whether it's true or just stagecraft is a hot debate).
For those who prefer more serpentine tummies,
Shalyssa is a warm-hearted naga-vixen that has a vulpine upper body and a snake lower body, able to slip through tunnels and openings bigger Hunters cannot. A newly hired Hunter, Shal is still seeking to prove herself and so she is eager to perform and can even swallow several Meals at once (though she tends to limit herself, so that those inside don't get too roughed up).
A Huntress from another planet,
Jessica_Navi has joined the ranks, the tall and curvy singer and dancer has been quickly adapting to the game, and is quite eager to see what the Meals on this planet taste like!
More Hunters will be added later...
In honor of an outstanding performance in Junior Division, Orange League, as well as after-game taste testing, The Running Meal is proud to announce the formation of the Sakura Kasugano Scholarship fund, to promote the education and development of both Miss Kasugano and every young competitor, both in the game and in life!
