In this world, there are no wild canines roaming the land; the ones that do live in the world are very different to the ones that roam our land. There are three different tribes; the Lupines, or wolves; the Vulpines, or foxes, and finally the Lycaons, or hunting dogs. At the beginning of everything, these tribes had separate territories and kept strictly apart, not mixing at all. Traditions were followed and rules strictly adhered to. Apart from the occasional scuffle with a rival pack over such things like territory and hunting grounds, the canines lived peacefully enough alongside each other. Cubs were raised and brought up within the pack; once they reached adulthood, they could choose whether they would remain with their home pack or leave to start another with likeminded canines. There was plenty of food and water for all, and the only hardship was winter. However, the canines were able to gather food from the plenty around them in order to keep food stocks for the winter and they kept close together for warmth in caves and dens. The canines thought that these times would last forever; but nothing lasts forever, even a Golden Age.* This was when the humans came. Where they came from, none of the canines knew. Some thought that the humans came from another land over the sea, others that they'd flown in via ships from space. Whereever the humans came from, once they arrived and settled down, the Golden Age was over, perhaps for good. The humans did not want to share their freshly aquired territory, and hunted down the canines, shooting and scattering them. The old values were forgotten, save by those packs of canines who refused to pander to what the humans wanted and insisted on following their old rules and traditions. These packs were known as Vigilantes. Others chose to take their true forms and live among the humans as pets and guards, taking everything they could from the humans in exchange for the companionship and strength that they could offer. Finally, other canines live on the fringes of humanity, taking their human forms to blend in with the humans in their own cities, alternately taking their natural forms to scavenge for food. The renegades pride themselves as not being slaves like they see the pets, however they are, in some ways, as much dependant on the humans as the pets are. They have lost their way; they have no leaders and do not form packs like the canines of old did. If they ever think of the old Golden Age, it is as nothing save a daydream of paradise, now lost forever and something that can never be regained. Trouble is brewing on the horizon. The city is full to bursting, and the mayor wishes to expand it so that more houses can be built for new residents, along with more shops, more clubs and inns and everything else that goes with expansion. He has already drawn up the plans and his intentions are cruelly simple. He intends to encroach on the land presently occupied by a vigilante pack which contains a forest and a stream. The stream he has already earmarked as a place to put down a fountain; the forest on the other hand will be cut down. As for the vigilantes, the adults will be killed or driven out and the cubs sold as pets or guards. The mayor sees no opposition to his plan. After all, the canines are not allowed to vote, and the humans living in the city are bound to want more space and more places for people to live. As for the vigilantes, he doesn't even care about them. They are simply worthless trash, to be merely swept aside unless there is a chance of profit. The mayor is so caught up in his new plan, that he is neglecting other aspects of the city. Such as the illegal dog fighting groups. They train guards to fight and pit them against each other for profit and entertainment. Such gangs will also capture renegades, and force them to either fight each other, or the specially trained fighters, against who they do not stand a chance. Not all humans are behind the mayor or approve of the dog fights, but they are sadly in the minority. The endless flood of progress is almost impossible to stop, especially when those concerned do not have the rights needed to fight against it. However, the canines are divided. They all cling stubbornly to their own different ways of life, but there needs to be some kind of alliance that has to be formed if the humans are to be stopped. Maybe in the future, one with the humans could be considered, but at the moment, that is a distant thought, one that is almost a fairy tale and almost too unlikely to even be considered. There are humans who do not hold this view, but wish to continue with the status quo, with humans presiding over all and canines on the very bottom rung, their lives there for the humans to do with as they wish. A small group of humans do dream of peace between the races, however this is a dangerous opinion to have. The majority of humans do not like for their own kind to hold such a treacherous thought, and there are of course the renegades who naturally see all humans as their enemy, and do not differentuate between the two groups. Sadly, there are a lot of humans have ended up dead; either murdered by the first, and largest, group of humans, or found savaged to death by renegades. The latter happening is taken by the dominant group of humans and used as a reason to prove that the canines are just as they consider them; just wild, mindless, savage animals. -------- Sarah_K_O_M 11-23-2009 09:07 PM 1. This RP is a remake, so the following people can post: Myself, Silent_Wolf, Sarah_K_O_M, TheHayleyDoll and Spirit_Queen. 2. Please pick names that suit whichever species you are. If you are stuck, try the following links: For wolf names, go here. For fox names, go here. 3. Abide by the rules laid out in the stickies. 4. I'm sure everyone knows what a wolf and a fox looks like; the hunting dogs by the way, look like this: African Wild Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 5. You can be one of the following groups; pets, renegades, vigilantes or humans. Please can everyone try to have equal representatives of each, rather than everyone being of one group. If there are already say 2 pets signed up, then choose another group to belong to. Also, please don't join one and have the characteristics of another. Introduce your character(s) in your intro paragraph. If you have more than one, then try for a bit of variety in groups and species, please. ---------------- Canine Groups And Characteristics Vigilantes These canines live like the canines in the Golden Age live, or to the best of their ability. They stubbornly stick to the old traditions, and despise the pets for being slaves to humans, and the renegades for forsaking their heritage. Arrogant, they do not believe that anything will happen to them, and reside in the forests and plains outside the city. Each vigilante pack is led by the Alpha pair, the Eltos and Antos. Cubs do not recognise specific parents, but are raised by the pack as a whole and taught how to hunt and forage by the pack Elders. The vigilante Elders have strict rules about what the rest of the pack can and can not do. No member of the pack is permitted to go off on its own without first getting permission by the Eltos. Going to the city is strictly forbidden, as is mixing with the renegades. Punishments, like isolation or eating only scraps, are meted out to any pack member who breaks these rules. The vigilantes believe that their strength is within the pack, therefore the rules must be kept, no argument. Vigilantes refuse to use any human inventions. They do not wear clothes as they believe that clothes are a human invention. Vigilantes view mating as something done purely to produce cubs. They generally mate in the fall so that cubs may be born in the spring. The birth of cubs is something that the whole pack celebrates and cubs are cherished. The vigilantes dream one day of forcing the humans out so that the Golden Age can be reborn. Renegades The renegades form camps in the town, sometimes within abandoned buildings, other times in alleyways, derelict houses or rubbish tips. They have no official leaders; tho some will naturally get their way due to superior strength or intellect; and no rules. Their life is harsh; they sometimes must move camp due to being forced out by humans, or cuz the site has run out of resources. They often fight with other renegades, as well as with the pets and guards. They do not believe that their way of life will ever improve, and despise the vigilantes for thinking so. Renegades will use human inventions, and wear clothes. They get food by either hunting, stealing or scavenging. Hunting is limited; there are very few animals living in the cities, those that do are either rats, mice, squirrels or birds. Stealing is risky, as humans do not take kindly to thieves whether they believe them to be human or canine and punishment will be meted out if the thief is caught. Scavenging is the safest, tho still carries an element of risk. Food places, such as cafes, restaurants and fast food places, have dumpsters outside with leftovers within. Private houses and inns also throw out rubbish. However, the easiest method is also the one that the majority will use. Renegades mate, sometimes out of loneliness or boredom, other times cuz they have actually found a soulmate. However, due to the harsh life that the renegades leave, with the lack of food, the poor quality of such food and the cold, cubs rarely survive. Often, a cub dies in the womb or is born dead. Those that are born alive do not stand much of a chance til they reach the age of five. Renegades who cannot find food well or hunt will often care for cubs. Pets And Guards. These are the canines who have shunned their true nature in order to live amongst the humans as either pampered pets or guards for warehouses, private houses and the like. Pets are well fed and cared for as a general rule, as they are worth a lot of money and are therefore valuable to their owners. A lot of renegades who become parents will give their cubs away to humans in order that they survive and have a better life; these cubs are destined to end up as pets or guards. Guards tend to be kept by humans who own junkyards, warehouses, store houses and the like, and also by the rich, to guard their houses. Guards are fed well and given the run of whatever place they are guarding, and there is generally more than one in the place. Pets on the other hand tend to be singular. They will also stick close to their owners out of fear of their fellow canines, who view them as traitors to their own kind for the choice they have made. The pets and guards however despise the vigilantes and renegades for their pointless defiance of the humans and refusal to do what they believe is best. Pets do not choose mates; their owners will decide if they are allowed to have them, and there is usually money involved. Owners too have the power to sell on any cubs, with their pet or guard powerless to stop them. ---------------- Aldo braced himself. It smelt like a blacksmith's hair armpit in the dumpster, but if he wanted to eat that night.... Oh sc**w that. There'd probably be a few rats around town and he'd just bloody washed and everything. He wasn't hungry enough for dumpster diving just yet, not in that dumpster anyways. He set off down the road, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his leather coat and trying to give off real f*ck off vibes to anyone around, his auburn hair hanging in his eyes. He found himself a few rats on his walk, ducking into an alleyway to snap their necks then turn into fox form and eat. He wiped his mouth when he was done, making a face. Rat tasted like deep-fried ass even at the best of times. Maybe someone at camp would have an idea of a good place. He set off back there. Miranda_ 11-23-2009 09:10 PM Phelan crept slowly thru the alleyway. He sniffed the air; no trace of humans on the breeze, but he couldn't be sure. There was always the chance of one of those scummy traitors who lived with the humans lying in wait to catch him. As far as Phelan was concerned, if he ever encountered one of the pets away from their master, they would feel his teeth. He had in his past done so; the vulpine traitor had been lucky to escape with his life. Phelan was born to a wolf belonging to a renegade group that lived on the fringes of the city. He never knew his father, and never wanted to; his mother brought him up to be independant and trust no-one. He spent most of his childhood being taught to hate the humans for what they'd done, and to despise the pets. Rude, impulsive, bad tempered and paranoid, Phelan was often suspicious of people's motives. However, he was a loyal friend to those who had gained his trust, and he would protect them to the end. Phelan crouched down next to some dustbins. Phelan was thin and savage, even in human form. He tended to wear black clothes, so as not to stand out. Right now, he was in his wolf form; a wiry black wolf with amber eyes. He saw a ham bone that still had meat on it and picked it up, cautiously looking out for any renegade who might try and fight him for his prize. Seeing none, he ran off in the direction of the camp. ~~~ Kasa stretched luxuriously out on her comfortable bed. She was, as usual, in her lycaon form; her coat freshly brushed, with a pink silk ribbon around her throat. She perked her ears up at the sound of her master's key in the door and jumped up to greet him. She loved her master intensely; as for the idea that by living this life she was betraying her kind, to Kasa that was ridiculous. There was no point in struggling against the tide; the humans were not going to go away and there were far too many of them to fight against. Far better to embrace the chance of living such a life than to constantly starve and fight. She almost pitied the renegades and vigilantes; however, they had made their choice, just as she had made hers. Kasa's parents only wanted the best for her; they saw their life living on the fringes of humanity to be pointless so they gave their daughter away to made into a pet. Kasa grew up knowing no other life, and soon delighted in it. Her master spoiled her rotten and she always had plenty to eat, and a soft bed to sleep on, and the run of the house. Kasa's eyes were blue; in her human form, she had red hair and wore pretty dresses and ballet pumps. However, she very rarely took that form nowadays as her master prefered her lycaon form and she deferred to his wishes. She could often be spiteful, stubborn and b*tchy towards those she considered beneath her. Kasa however was kind at heart, and very affectionate towards her master. She sometimes got lonely, but tried to push that to the back of her mind. Sarah_K_O_M 11-23-2009 09:39 PM Aldo took a shortcut through the richer part of the city. He always got disdainful looks, but he didn't mind. He liked the idea that in some small way he'd messed up their shiny little lives, even if just for a few seconds. Silent_Wolf 11-23-2009 09:41 PM A gray wolf, scarred just above the left hip on the left side, padded down an alleyway, nosing a baseball as she walked; she'd found it in a park and had taken it. Figured it might do to have something to pass the time with. She could hear claws scraping against the concrete and started to growl, pawing the ball closer to her feet. However, the noise faded away in the direction she was heading; somebody heading back to camp, she supposed. With a snort, she picked the ball up in her teeth and took off at a brisk walk to try and get back quicker. Man, if I'd found a bat, we could keep the cubs occupied for hours. Once she was close to the base, the wolf changed; she became a tall, tanned woman with an eyebrow piercing, a nose ring, a lip stud in the right corner of her mouth and multiple hoop earrings and wore faux leather jeans and a similar shirt with the sleeves torn off. Her hair was black and her eyes were a deep, cold blue. She picked the baseball up in her right hand and tossed it up, catching it as it fell back to her, and she headed into the base. Wonder where Phelan is. -- Out in the forests, a vulpine dashed through the woods, chasing a rabbit; god, he was hungry! He'd had to beg the Alphas to go out and hunt something on his own; he'd promised up and left to bring back a deer once he'd caught something to eat. Oh, he hoped he could catch something big to please them. He'd been getting into nothing but trouble; the other night, he could have sworn he'd seen someone in the pack leave and go into the city, so he'd gone to look. He hadn't gone in! He hadn't even gotten close enough for them to see him! The Alphas had been so angry with him. He'd tried to explain; and he'd had to eat scraps until tonight. Raoul's stomach growled hard, and he pounced on the rabbit, tearing into its throat. He felt its legs thumping against him briefly before stopping, and he settled down to eat. Rabbit wasn't exactly his favorite thing to eat; he thought they were far too furry with not enough meat. I need to find the deer pack. I know they're around here, I can smell them. He licked his muzzle just thinking about it and bit down on his tongue by accident with a loud yelp. He pawed at his jaw a bit, whimpering, before finishing the rabbit and licking the blood off his fur. Though really, it wasn't noticeable; his fur was about the same dark red-brown shade. spirit_queen 11-23-2009 10:11 PM A small, cream-and-caramel colored hunting dog paused from running to lap up some water from the stream in the woods, delighting in how cold and fresh it was. She was charged with adrenaline, and could hardly stand still; she’d done it! She’d finally given her hunting group the slip! This was something she’d longed to do for so many years she’d lost count, and at long last she could taste freedom, real freedom. Takaia listened carefully and tasted the air for pursuit, then ran some more when she found none, her tongue hanging out in pure joy. Soon, she came to where the forest ended, and the tall grasses began, which in turn led to the city, something she’d always been curious about. She paused once more to listen and sniff for danger, then, having found none, she sprinted through the tall grasses, enjoying the feel of it all around her. ~ Marius, a man in his thirties with tan skin, dark eyes and brown hair, had had a terrible day at work; no one had wanted to listen to his proposal about the new plans to drive out or capture the vigilantes in the forest, and he was in a bad mood when he came home, his mood shown by his stiff posture, clenched fists and heavy scowl. But that changed a little when Kasa jumped up to greet him at the door, as she always did. He laughed. “Hey, there’s my favorite girl!” He said, scratching Kasa behind her ears and smiling down at her. “Did you miss me? I missed you.” Miranda_ 11-23-2009 10:14 PM Phelan soon got back to camp, and took his hambone somewhere to eat in peace. He sometimes brought back food for the cubs, but this time there had been very little food in the dumpster. That was the trouble with dumpster diving; too much competition. He thought that he'd go and find Sinopa once he was done. Kasa licked her master's hand. She was glad to see him, having had little to do all day other than go into the garden and look out the window. She hadn't stayed out for long, as it was cold outside. Silent_Wolf 11-23-2009 10:17 PM Sinopa headed to where the cubs tended to play. "Hey kids, look what I got?" She threw the ball in the air; it landed on the ground and bounced before sitting still. "You can chase it around and throw it to each other. It's a baseball." She sat down. "I noticed you guys were bored." spirit_queen 11-23-2009 10:36 PM Marius laughed some more, then said "Alright, girl, let me take off my shoes, will ya?" Takaia soon came to the roads and the city, and paused; everything was so open, and what was that black stuff the hmans put all over the ground? Some kind of stone? Taka sniffed at it, then sneezed; it smelled terrible, and she didn't like it. her tail drooped, and Taka stepped onto the pavement, disliking the way her clows clicked on it. Well, you've come this far, you might as well go all the way; you'll be punished the same, either way. Miranda_ 11-23-2009 10:55 PM Phelan went to where the cubs were. There weren't many of them, but those that they had were generally sturdy. He was relieved; giving up the cubs to the humans may be for their own good, but it didn't mean that he had to like it. Silent_Wolf 11-23-2009 11:42 PM Sinopa heard him walking near and looked up. "Hey. I found something for them to play with." She smiled. Miranda_ 11-23-2009 11:53 PM "Good, it might take their minds off the fact that I couldn't find any food for them," Phelan said. "There's hardly anything in the dumpster today; the humans must have emptied it or something." Silent_Wolf 11-23-2009 11:54 PM "Yeah." She sighed and ignored her stomach growling; she hadn't been able to find anything either. "Wish there was somewhere around here that would give something to us. Even leftovers would be better than rats." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:04 AM "I found a bone, but there was hardly any meat left on it. Not even enough for myself," Phelan said. "Besides, even if you kill several rats, it's still not enough. Especially with winter coming up. The humans seem to resent our taking their leftovers; don't know why. They don't want it, so why can't we have it?" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 12:10 AM "They don't flip out if it's a human homeless person taking it." She paused. ".. Maybe we should try asking for scraps as humans? Might provoke less. Even if it's just for the cubs." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:12 AM "I don't like the idea of drawing attention to myself," Phelan muttered. "Besides, if we do that, they might just take the cubs away. I don't want them to do that; these ones are strong enough to stay with us." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:14 AM Aldo walked along the side of a garden, tossing a coin in the air. The coin was an old thing but he kept it shined up nice and bright, the surface of it worn smooth by the frequent cleanings and from being rubbed so often. He threw it up in the air too high and at a wrong angle and it spun over the fence and into the garden on the other side. He cursed then clambered over the fence as easily as he could, hoping he wouldn't get caught before he got it back. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 12:14 AM "They won't know we're getting it for the cubs. If you won't get the scraps, then I will. I mean, I look homeless as it is. Just need to stop taking baths every three days and I'll really look a mess." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:22 AM "I don't want to have to beg from the humans," said Phelan, stubbornly. "I'd rather find my food myself." Kasa happened to look out of the window, where she had gone to sit on the window seat after eating the dinner that her master had put down for her. She was angry at this intrusion into her master's garden and went out of the little dog door that was there for her, into the garden. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 12:24 AM "It's not for me. I just want the cubs to be able to grow up and not starve like we did." She sighed and rested her chin on her knees. Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:25 AM Aldo was cursing so much the air was practically going blue by this point. XD Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:30 AM "If we don't stick with our principles, what do we have left?" Phelan sat down, as well. Kasa rushed out and saw the stranger in the garden. She recognised him as being a renegade, and opened her mouth to bark and summon her master. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 12:31 AM "They're all we've got though. I hate to say it, but that's one human saying I agree with. 'The kids are our future.' Maybe one of these pups'll stop all this sh*t when they're older." Ooc: Gotta go, bye! Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:33 AM Aldo turned around and saw her. "Hey, hey, don't!" he said, loudly as he dared, "I'm just trying to find something that fell in here. Don't drop me in it for f*ck sake." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:35 AM Phelan rolled his eyes. "You're starting to sound like those vigilante idiots who think that one day there'll be a new Golden Age. It's not going to happen. We're scr'ewed." Kasa lifted her teeth in a snarl. "What do you want, renegade?" she growled. "This is my master's property, and you're trespassing." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:37 AM "My coin fell in here. I'm looking for it. It's my lucky coin so I don't want to just leave it. Look, if I was here to case the joint I'd be a lot sneakier about it. Rummaging through bushes isn't exactly low profile." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:38 AM Kasa still wasn't convinced. "You all thieve, so why should I believe you? Maybe I should just summon my master right now." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:43 AM "What would be the point? I'm not even looking at your house. I just looking for-Got it! Yes!" he grabbed the coin and held it up, examining it critically, then huffed on it and rubbed it on his jeans. He showed it to her, holding it between middle finger and index, the rim against the side of his fingers. "There, see?" Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:52 AM Kasa was still glaring at him. She shivered, cuz the air was cold. "And now you can leave." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 12:57 AM Aldo stood up and brushed himself off. Now that he was standing she'd be able to see him much better. He was quite tall and very lean with tanned skin and dark green-brown eyes. He had a pair of dog tags around his neck, something which wouldn't be usual for a Renegade to have. "You make it sound like I wanted to stay." he remarked, turning his head to find the easiest way out of the place. The fence was harder to get over from the inside. Miranda_ 11-24-2009 12:59 AM "So, why are you still here? You've found your stupid coin, so get out of here before I make you sorry." Kasa didn't know the significance of the tags, but she'd seen similar ones on her master's guards. Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:05 AM "No need for rudeness." Aldo said calmly. He took ten steps back then did a run up and jumped, grabbing the tops of the fence. He pulled himself up and balanced on the top before jumping down and landing neatly. He turned back to her and took a bow. Miranda_ 11-24-2009 01:14 AM Kasa tossed her head and flounced back to the house. Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:21 AM Aldo laughed to himself and went back to camp. He didn't live in the camp proper, preferring to live alone in a shack a 20 minute walk away, but he liked the companionship there and helped out with it best as he could. Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:23 AM Aldo laughed to himself and went back to camp. He didn't live in the camp proper, preferring to live alone in a shack a 20 minute walk away, but he liked the companionship there and helped out with it best as he could. Miranda_ 11-24-2009 01:26 AM Phelan sat in silence for a while. The thought of begging the humans for scraps turned his stomach, and he refused to even consider the idea, even for the sake of the cubs. Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:30 AM Aldo saw him and waved. "Hey, Phelan." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 01:32 AM Marius called. "Kasaaa, your food is ready!" Takaia managed t sneak around the city some, and avoided the lights. She was pretty quick in decided she didn't like the place, especially when something -which turned out to be a can- was thrown at her. That was when she found the scent of strong lupines and decided to follow it; what did the so-called renegades live like? Was this their trail? Miranda_ 11-24-2009 01:36 AM Phelan gave a half hearted wave. "Hey, Aldo." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:39 AM "You look like someone took a dump in your bed. What's up?" All times are GMT. The time now is 01:46 PM.

This angered her, and she wanted nothing more than to set the guy straight. In fact, she hardly even realized that she stepped forward, still in lycaon form, and stared at Phel, doing the dog equivalent of scowling. Miranda_ 11-24-2009 01:45 AM "Nothing at all," said Phelan tightly. "Just the same old. I'm going to have to go foraging again soon, cuz I hardly found anything last time." He looked up and saw the lycaon that was staring at him. "If you want to say something to me, then say it or get out," he said, grumpily. "I'm not in the mood." Sarah_K_O_M 11-24-2009 01:46 AM "Want me to help out?" Aldo asked then saw the lycaon. "Who's that?" spirit_queen 11-24-2009 01:47 AM Taka sat down, and as she did she transformed inot her human form, which was completely in the nude. "You're wrong about the vigilantes." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 01:54 AM "I don't believe I am," Phelan snapped back. "For one thing, since you're naked, you're obviously one. For another, you're stupid since it's freezing and you can't walk around the city like that." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 01:59 AM "Who says I'd walk around the city in this form? And you've probably never met a vigilante before me, so how do you know what we're like?" Takaia challenged, her platinum-ish hair falling down her shoulders and her violet-blue eyes hard. Miranda_ 11-24-2009 02:06 AM "I don't need to have met one to know what's true and what isn't. You all think that there's going to be another Golden Age, and that you're better than us. That won't stop you from being torn to shreds here, which is what will happen if you don't leave." Phelan glared at Takaia. "Just by being here and being naked, you're putting our lives and that of the cubs in danger, cuz you're attracting attention. Either put some clothes on, or get out before I make you." There were spare clothes in one of the tents, mostly taken from the homeless centre in the middle of town. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 10:40 AM Sinopa sighed and put a hand on Phelan's shoulder. "Back off. She's still a pretty young one. Maybe she'll change her mind one day." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:34 AM Indeed, Takaia was young; she was just barely fourteen. "Clothes? I don't see any spares lying around." she huffed and crossed her arms. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:36 AM "I'll show you. Follow me." Sinopa stood up and headed for one of the tents. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:37 AM Takaia got up and followed the older girl, decided that she preferred Sinopa to Phel. XD By a landslide. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:41 AM "Sorry about Phel. He's stubborn." She pulled the tent flap aside for Takaia to walk through. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:42 AM "My brother's like him, and he piucks on me all the time." Takaia said as she went into the tent. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:52 AM "Guys are just like that sometimes." Sinopa walked in behind her and checked in a pile of clothes. "You want a dress, a shirt and skirt, or a shirt and pants? I recommend pants. Much comfier." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 11:58 AM Phelan had muttered before they'd left, loud enough for both to hear, "That's a lame excuse. I'm fifteen, and you don't see me acting like her." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 12:15 PM Takaia looked overwhelmed. "Uh... you say you like pants? Um, I'll try pants... I dunno which one the pants are, though." She looked at Sinops and saw which ones she herself was wearing, then grabbed a pair of pants like her pants. "Is it this one?" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 08:14 PM Sinopa just sighed when she heard Phelan's remark. XD "Yep. You put one leg through both of the holes. I mean." She grabbed a pair of pants to demonstrate. "You put one leg through the big hole, the waistband, and into one of the smaller holes, which is called the pant leg." She put her leg in the jeans. "Then you do it with the other one." She did so again, pulling the pants up around her hips. It was considerably difficult, considering that she was still wearing her own pants. XD "Then if they're jeans like these, you button them - " Demonstrated. "-and zip them." She zipped hers up and adjusted the waistband uncomfortably. "Course, you can do that either way." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:05 PM "...okay." Tammy paused. "but don't you wear some weird stuff under the pnts-things, too? Or, at least, that what I was told, that there was an outer layer and an inner layer." Ooc: I'm trying to point out that she has no undies on. XD You want her to wear pants without 'em? Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:15 PM "Oh!" Sinopa smacked herself in the head. "I completely forgot, I'm sorry." She checked in another pile and handed her a pair of underwear. "Sort of the same as the pants. Just make sure the tag's on your butt and not the front. It's itchy. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:24 PM "Why do you have to wear it if it's itcy?" Takaia asked, gingerly taking the undies and sniffing them. XD Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:25 PM Sinopa blinked. "Well. I never really understood why." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:26 PM Takaia now looked more confused, and began to step inot the undies only to manage to trip in them somehow and fall flat in her face. "OWWW! It's not only itchy, it's also dangerous!" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:27 PM "Well, you're not supposed to step into them! Just stick your leg through." O_o Sinopa helped her back to her feet. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:30 PM "Um.... okay..." Takaia tried again, making sure the tag was in back, then managed it... except that the undies were on inside-out. O.o "I did it!" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:32 PM "... Um. They're inside out." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:35 PM "What? You mean the tag goes inside? Oh, no! How do you people deal with this? It's so haaaaard!" Takaia said all while taking the panties off, flipping them so that the right side was out, then cautiously putting them back on the right way. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:44 PM "You just get used to it. I'll get you a bra, hang on." She flipped several shirts up in the air as she dug through a pile. She was a very messy digger, in human form and wolf. XD spirit_queen 11-24-2009 09:49 PM Takaia duckedd to avoid being hit by clothing. XD She was very small in the chest, and was a B at the most, and a small one at that. In fact, proportionally, Taka was very awkward; large, flat feet, skinny legs, long skinny arms and a long torso, yet she still wasn't that tall. Her brother often compared her feet to a duck. Her face was sweeter and more feminine, with round cheeks, innocent blue-violet eyes with blonde lashes, an upturned nose and a whole bunch of freckles across her nose. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 09:58 PM "Here." She handed Takaia one and demonstrated how to put it on using another bra. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 10:05 PM Takaia's eyes widened, and she played with he clasps. "Hooked! Unhooked! Hooked..." Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 10:07 PM Sinopa giggled. "Yeah, they're pretty weird. I did the same when I started using them." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 10:08 PM "It's fuuun! Do you have more weird claspy-objects?" Takaia asked as she stuggled to get the bra on. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 10:14 PM "Well, I'm sure I can find some. And these are called 'bras', shortened from the term... uh." She had to think. "Brassiere. Here." She helped Takaia get it on. "There." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 10:16 PM "Thank you... this feels weird! It's, like, hugging my b00bs!" Takaia said, looking down at her little chest. XD Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 10:17 PM "That's what it's supposed to do, keeps them up and not flying everywhere. .. Not a very pretty image, was that." XD spirit_queen 11-24-2009 10:21 PM "But mine are small, so they don't really fly all over the place... but If you say so, i guess I'll wear it for now. Are the pantses next?" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:03 PM "Pants, dear, and yes." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:07 PM "...are they harder than the undeies?" Takaia asked, biting her lip. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:15 PM "Well, it can be easier to pull them on your legs if you're sitting down, if that helps." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:19 PM Takaia immediately flopped down and began to struggle with the jeans, kicking her feet to make it go up better. Eventuall the jeans were on, and she began to fiddle with the button. "Argh! i can't get it!" All times are GMT. The time now is 01:46 PM.

She sighed and helped Takaia button and zip her pants. She was used to helping the littler cubs so was used to this. XD spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:21 PM "Thank you... what are those on your feet?" Takaia asked. Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:24 PM "Shoes. Well, these are boots." She clomped them on the ground. "First you need a shirt. You can look through the pile there for something that you like." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:28 PM "Okay." Takaia looked through the pile and found a little tanktop in periwinkle, and put it on, though she didn't put her arms in the sleeves and wore it like a tube-top. XD Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:30 PM "Dear, there's sleeves." She pulled her arms through the sleeves for her. "Now, shoes. You should probably wear some, the roads around here are hard on human feet." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:37 PM Takaia looked down at her feet and wriggled her toes. "But my feet are as calloused as leather. Why would I need shoes?" She obviously didn't think about, say, broken beer bottles, which were very lacking in a forest. XD Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:43 PM "Broken glass. It can cut you. Real bad." spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:44 PM "Oh." Takaia said. "...are shoesies uncomfortable?" Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:46 PM "Only if you pick the wrong kind. We tried to grab the best we could." She showed Takaia over to the piles of shoes. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:53 PM "Ummm....." takaia looked overwhelmed. XD Silent_Wolf 11-24-2009 11:55 PM "Well, for one thing, we need to figure out what will fit your feet." Miranda_ 11-24-2009 11:55 PM Phelan was wondering what was taking Sinopa so long. spirit_queen 11-24-2009 11:59 PM "Um, I don't know, my feet are big." Takaia said, holding out one of her feet for sinopa to see., showing her how her feet were unproportinally large. ((They're probably 9s or 8.5s in women)) Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:03 AM Sinopa probably had a larger Empathy Gland in her brain than Phelan does. XD "Hmm, I think we have some of those in here. Your feet are a bit bigger than mine, I'm an 8." She checked in the pile and procured a pair of white and periwinkle sneakers in what would hopefully be Takaia's size. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 12:05 AM Takaia sniffed them, then sneezed. "What do I do?" Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:05 AM "Give me one of your feet, sit down." Sinopa sat down too. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 12:07 AM Takaia sat down and held out her left foot to Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:08 AM "See, you pull the tongue of the shoe up like this-" She demonstrated. "And put your foot in." She pulled the shoe over Takaia's foot. "Does the shoe feel too tight?" spirit_queen 11-25-2009 12:25 AM Takaia wiggled her toes. "Um, what does it feel like if it's too tight?" she asked. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:26 AM "Like your foot is squished." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 12:37 AM "Um, then these are fine... but they feel weird" Takaia said. "what do you do with the strings?" Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:48 AM "Watch." She showed Takaia how to tie the laces. "I don't expect you to get this on the first try. You tie them together so you don't trip over them." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 12:54 AM Takaia tried again... and again... and again... Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 12:21 PM Sinopa was patient and showed her how to do it again. "Over... and under... and loop-the-loop." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 07:08 PM Takaia tried again, and this time she got it. "Yaaay! Thank you, ah- ah- what's your name?" Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 07:12 PM "Sinopa." She smiled. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 07:17 PM "That's a pretty name." Takaia said, standing. "I'm Takaia, but you can call me Taka if you want." Ooc: Just making sure y'all know... "takaia" is pronounced "tahk-eye-ah"... Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 07:20 PM Ooc: We know. *raspberry* ~~ "Sure." Sinopa stood as well and cracked her back a bit. "Anyway, my friend out there, his name is Phelan." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 07:22 PM "You mean the grumpy guy?" Takaia asked. Ooc: :P Well, someone else reading this might not know, so there! Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 07:24 PM "He's just hungry. We don't really have a lot to eat." She sighed. "Most of it goes to the cubs so they can grow up healthy." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 07:33 PM Takaia put a finger to her lips and tapped them, looking pensive, then said "I think, on the way here through that grass field outside the city, I passed a rabbit hole... it's technically beyond vigilante hunting territory, so maybe you guys could go get some." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 07:34 PM "Seriously?" Sinopa blinked. "I'll ask Phel and the others to take a look at it. Thanks." She smiled. "I need to go and hunt around. Stay safe, okay, Taka?" She patted the Vigilante on the shoulder and headed out of the tent to let Phelan know about the rabbit hole. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 07:36 PM Takaia nodded, then wondered if Phel and Sinopa wanted her to show them where the hole was. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 07:48 PM Phelan was sitting by himself, thinking dark thoughts. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 07:48 PM "Phel." Sinopa knelt down next to him. "Takaia said that there's a rabbit hole just outside the city. She said that the Vigilantes hunting territory doesn't include it. Could you take somebody to go check it out?" Miranda_ 11-25-2009 07:59 PM "I don't see what good that will do," Phelan said. "One rabbit hole isn't going to feed our entire group, and we won't be able to keep it secret forever. She'd better not think that just cuz she's told you about this, that she can stay. She doesn't belong here, she should just go back to her precious pack." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 08:01 PM "Exchange of services; gave her some clothes, she told us where to find some food, at least for awhile. It may not last forever, but it'll be enough. I'm going to go forage, heard that there might be something near the junk yard." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 08:04 PM Takaia, meanwhile, went to the back of the tent and crawled out, snifing at the air; she smelled something... waity! She knew that smell! Those were cubs! She smiled, and decided she'd like to play with them. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 08:22 PM "I doubt it. In case you forgot, we aren't the only renegade camp in the city and someone is bound to see us returning. At best, we'll get one meal; at worst, someone will jump us on the way back and we'll get nothing." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 08:24 PM "Then don't make it obvious where you're going. We need to do something or else the cubs'll die. Then where will that put us." Sinopa stood up. "You're being pessimistic again and I'm getting very sick of it." All times are GMT.

"Better than being all happy clappy rainbows like that idiot vigilante is and you're becoming. You know d@mn well that if it got anywhere near that stage, that I'd give the cubs up to the humans. And don't treat me like an idiot or I'll tear your throat out." Phelan didn't mean that as such, cuz Sinopa was his friend, but he was insulted by her insinuating that he'd be so stupid to make it obvious where he was going. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 08:30 PM "I'm just trying to keep them safe! You're all doom and gloom and then you wonder why you're so miserable all the time." She snorted at him and took off at a run, changing mid-stride into her wolf form. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 08:35 PM "Coward! Running away is what you always do, cuz you're too much of a coward to stay and fight!" he shouted after her. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 08:56 PM Sinopa just didn't care much for arguing; she'd probably bring it up later when she came back. But for now, she just wanted to focus on looking for food. She slowed to a walk when she neared the junk yard and put her nose down, sniffing around. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 09:02 PM Phelan went angrily off by himself. The junkyard was patrolled by five guard canines. Right now, four were at the other end dealing with an intruder. The fifth, a large muscular black vulpine male, caught Sinopa's scent. He went over to see if this was another intruder. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 09:06 PM Sinopa sat down, snorting; she'd gotten a whiff of something nasty and couldn't get it out. Oh, yuck. What is that? Tuna? She made a gagging noise and rubbed her muzzle with a paw. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 09:14 PM Phelan was going to the rabbit hole; he thought that he might as well see what was there. The vulpine came up to the fence. His name was Rustem, and he was annoyed at the presence of the renegade outside. He growled warningly at Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 09:23 PM Sinopa jumped backward a bit, staring at him with wide eyes. She hadn't expected a guard dog to be this close nearby. "Sorry!" She snorted a bit more, grimacing. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 09:33 PM The guard glared at her. "Back off and keep going. You and your kind aren't allowed in here." He wore a leather collar with metal studs and a metal tag with his name, Rustem, on it. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 09:41 PM "I said sorry. Blame me for sitting down on the sidewalk. You can't even yell at me for that, you don't own it." She sat right back down and kept rubbing her nose, still grimacing. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 09:54 PM "I might not, but my master does. If he catches you here, he'll whip the hide off your bones. Shall I call him?" Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 09:56 PM "Look, just leave it for a minute, my nose is hurting." She whined a bit and put her paw on her nose, crossing her eyes. She looked ridiculous. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:02 PM Rusty sighed. "You really can't stay there; if one of the others catches you, there'll be hell to pay. Come round the side; you'll be out of sight then, there's a shed just inside the fence there and you won't be seen." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:03 PM "Thanks. Ow." She stood and walked around, looking for the shed; she continued to snort, not smelling whatever it was that had offended her nose but it still hurt. "I think I have a rock up my nose again." When she stepped inside, she noticed his food bowl and couldn't help but stare; it still had food in it! Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:07 PM Rusty noticed Sinopa staring, but not what she was staring at. "Is anything the matter?" Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:08 PM ".. How much do you guys eat?" She sounded a bit jealous, though not for herself. She sat down and continued rubbing her nose. "Don't have nearly as much at the camp. Sure don't have any left over, either." She snorted, trying to get the rock out. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:16 PM "About twice a day, and once at night," Rusty said. "We need the energy so we can patrol the junkyard at all times. We tend to sleep in shifts so that there's at least two around at night. After all, if there's any problems, the two on duty can rouse the others." He looked at Sinopa again. "You can have what I don't want if you like," he said. "Just from my bowl tho; it's the red one." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:19 PM "... Can I take it back to the cubs?" She lifted her head. "I don't need the food. It's the little ones back in camp that do." Her ears drooped a bit. "If things stay as bad as they are we'll have to give them up to be pets. I don't know if I could do that again." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 10:23 PM Takaia, meanwhile, had sneaked off to play with the cubs, as she loved cubs; so sweet, and full of such energy. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:23 PM "Take what you want," said Rusty. "I don't know why you think being a pet or guard is such a terrible thing. I've been a guard here all my life and I like it OK." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:26 PM "It's not that." She sat down, scratching behind an ear with her hind leg. "It's just hard to give them up. I know they'd have a better life, but I'm always scared that they'll wind up with a bad master." She stood up and shook hard; then Sinopa gave a loud, sneezing sound and the rock skipped off the floor. "..Oh, owww." She flopped onto her side and covered her nose with her paws, crossing her eyes again. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:31 PM Rusty gave her a stare. "Even a bad master is better than starving to death or dying of the cold." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:32 PM Sinopa flinched and stood back up, her head down. "I-I know." Her ears perked up when she heard a noise. "Sh*t." Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:33 PM "That's probably the others coming back," Rusty said. "Better take what you want and go before they do." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:37 PM "You have a box I can use to carry some food in?" Sinopa's ears went back in fear. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:41 PM Rusty pushed a small box that had contained biscuits towards her. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:42 PM "Thanks." She nudged him gratefully with her head and picked up the box in her teeth, running out of the shed. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:44 PM Rusty went to meet his fellow guards. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:45 PM Sinopa glanced back before disappearing around a corner outside, and she headed straight back for the camp. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:48 PM A female lycaon sat watching the cubs playing with a look of sadness on her face. Her name was Marea, and a few days earlier, she had miscarried. Phelan was making his way back to camp, using the alleyways and keeping out of sight. He'd gone to the whole and had dug out a rabbit and her kittens; he'd eaten the kittens and was bringing the rabbit back for the cubs. He was in human form with the rabbit inside his jacket so as not to attract attention. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:54 PM Sinopa changed into human form halfway back and picked up the box, opening it and sniffing the biscuits. "...?" She took one out and bit into it, making a bit of a face of confusion. "Mmph." They tasted good, but.. well, they looked like cookies. With a shrug, she continued walking back after shutting the box. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 10:57 PM Takaia saw her, and cautiously went up to her. "What's wrong?" She asked. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 10:58 PM Marea replied, "Just thinking about what my cub would have looked like. I lost my cub about three days ago." Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 10:59 PM Sinopa crept in, looking around for Phelan; she wasn't really in the mood to talk to him, she just knew he'd have a go at her for running off. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 11:02 PM Phelan came into the camp at another entrance. He took the rabbit to the cubs straight away. Marea watched him wistfully. She didn't love him, but she still couldn't help but wonder what their cub would have been like. spirit_queen 11-25-2009 11:05 PM "Oh!" Takaia exclaimed. "Oh, I'm so very sorry." In vigilante society, a miscarriage was just about the worst thing that could happen; cubs were highly valued, so the loss of one was a terrible loss indeed. Silent_Wolf 11-25-2009 11:05 PM Sinopa sighed, knowing running into him was inevitable, and headed over to the cubs as well. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 11:18 PM "I guess I'll get over it, in time," Marea replied. "I suppose it just wasn't meant to be." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 11:23 PM "Well, at least you didn't die as well; that's happened before, and it was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. The mother got sick, and there was nothing to be done." Takaia said. Miranda_ 11-25-2009 11:33 PM "That doesn't usually happen here," Marea said. "The babies die cuz there isn't enough food around normally; if they're born and we can't feed them, then it's best to give them up to the humans." All times are GMT. The time now is 01:47 PM.

Takaia said. "I hate the humans, they're such hypocrites, they claim to not infringe upon each others' right, but as soon as they meet another sentient race thay have ot conquer it; do they care that we have our own traditions and such? No, instead they let it die by forcing us to give in, slowly but surely, and bit by bit, like water torture." Miranda_ 11-25-2009 11:49 PM "There's nothing we can do about them tho. They're stronger than us." spirit_queen 11-25-2009 11:54 PM "That, and I've realized that they've got us all split up; we can't even unit against them, because we've got our little factions; renegades, pets and guards, and vigilantes; for the most part, each of these groups don't want to interact, becuse we've all got different views about the humans. So we're divided, and we don't stand a chance this way." Takaia said. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:03 AM Marea shrugged indifferently. She'd heard that kind of opinion expressed before, and didn't really see how it could be any different to what it was. She watched the cubs, who were now all eating the rabbit that Phelan had brought them. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:04 AM Sinopa stared at the box, reading the words on it. ".. add water..." She headed into one of the tents for a bowl and a bottle of water. She put one of the biscuits in the bowl and cracked open a bottle, tilting it and pouring some water on the dry food, and she stared as it turned into a gravy-covered... something. She wasn't sure what it was. "Humans and their weirdness." O_o Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:07 AM Phelan hadn't wanted to hang around the cubs, cuz Marea was there. He went to find a spare tent. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:09 AM "Well, the cubs that are here are just a bit thin, but otherwise healthy." Takaia said. "Not to mention very adorable." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:11 AM Sinopa grabbed a few more bowls and did the trick with the water and biscuits a few more times, then picked up the bowls and went over to the cubs. "Here you go, kids, some gravy and.. biscuits." XD Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:18 AM Phelan wondered where Sinopa had gotten the biscuits from. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:19 AM Well, if he asked, she might tell him. Sinopa sat down in front of one of the tents, looking exhausted; the left side of her nose was a bit bloody from the rock earlier. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:25 AM "Are you alright, Sinopa?" Takaia asked. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:26 AM "Yeah. Just got a rock stuck up my nose earlier, snorted it out but my nose's been bleeding ever since." She rubbed it gingerly. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:32 AM "Aww. That sucks." Takaia said. She piced up the baseball. "What is this?" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:40 AM "A baseball. The humans hit it with this stick thing. I couldn't find one, though." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:42 AM Takaia sniffed it, then rolled it along the ground. One of the cubs pounced on it. XD "Awww! cute!" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:43 AM Sinopa giggled. "They seem to love playing with it." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:45 AM "Yeah. I wish I could something like this home, but the Eltos and Antos would likely force me to take it back." Takaia said, not realizing that someone here might not know who the Eltos and Antos were. XD Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:52 AM Sinopa looked at Takaia blankly. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:52 AM Phelan had walked over to where Sinopa and Taka were. He overheard what Taka said. "Who the hell are they?" he said. Marea had gone by this time. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:54 AM "Eltos and Antos?" Takaia repeated. "They're the leaders of a vigilante pack. I thin humans call them... uh... al- alfo? No... oh! Aplha male and female." Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:59 AM "We don't have leaders here. What would be the point?" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:01 AM "Well, it's very different here... but, back in the woods,, we need someone to coordinate things, like hunting, and when it's best to have cubs... that, and it's tradition. A dieing tradition, but a tradition nonetheless." Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:09 AM Phelan looked contemptous. "You can't eat traditions." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:16 AM "I know. Didn't I just say the city was different?" Takaia replied. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:17 AM "So why are you still here? Shouldn't you be going back to your wonderful forest?" Phelan said sarcastically. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:19 AM "Phel." Sinopa's tone was a warning one. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:21 AM "I came to see if the elders were right about renegades, and if it wasn't for meeting Sinopa and seeing the cubs, and had I just met you, I would have believed they were right." Takaia replied. :roll: Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:30 PM Sinopa hit herself in the face. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:35 PM "Sorry to disappoint you," said Phelan in a hard voice, "But you're mistaking me for someone who gives a d@mn about what the likes of you think of us." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:39 PM "Phel! Stop it." Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:53 PM "Why should I? And just why are you on her side, anyway?" Phelan snarled. "I'll say and do whatever I like." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:54 PM "You are being nasty for no reason at all! She hasn't said a word to insult you and yet you act like you're the one with all the know-how, all the facts. You're being a bigot, no better than a human," she snarled back. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 12:54 PM "I will leav e, but I'll leave when I want to, not when you want me to." Takaia said stubbornly. Ooc: They must look like little kids, arguing like this. XD Miranda_ 11-26-2009 12:58 PM Phelan shoved Sinopa away. "So leave if you don't like my views. I'm one of the strongest in the camp, so if you don't like it here, then go." To Taka he said, "Either leave on your own, or I'll make you." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 12:59 PM Sinopa shoved Phelan back and growled at him. "Make me! I'm older than you! And it's not your word whether she stays or goes. If you lay a hand on her, I'll rip your ears off!" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:02 PM "I'm stronger than you, if you even do such thing, I'll tear you to pieces!" Phelan snarled back. "And once I tell everyone that you took the side of an interloper over one of your own camp, you'll be lucky to escape with your life." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:03 PM "She hasn't done a da.mn thing to you or anybody else here. Threatening her and me is no way to go about it." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:04 PM "The funny thing is, we're all related in a way... we fight each other, even when it's the humans who did this to us to begin with. Ain't that sad?" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:06 PM "Just be being here, she's endangering every one of us in the camp. She's attracting attention to us, which means the cubs are at risk. Still keen on choosing her over the good of the camp?" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:08 PM "She told us where food was and you want to throw her out!" All times are GMT. The time now is 01:47 PM.

Slowly but surely, the renegades will dwindle and fade, you realize that? The humans make the conditions hard, forcing you to give up your cubs. So, one day, there will be no renegades. And the humans will probable try to wipe out all vigilantes, so what will be left of our kind? Slaves, that's what. Bloody slaves!" Takaia said. With that, she ran off in Lycan form. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:13 PM "There wasn't much there to make it worth while her being there. Besides, one rabbit hole is hardly going to feed the whole camp." When Taka ran off, Phelan rolled his eyes. "Good riddance. Hopefully, she won't be back." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:16 PM "You're a fool." Sinopa snarled at him and stalked away to her tent. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:18 PM Phelan followed Sinopa and cuffed her hard accross the head. "Say anything like that again, and you'll regret it. Just who the hell do you think you are, anyway? Traitor." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:18 PM Ooc: Does anyone want to play a big bad human with me? Please? I hate talking to myself. Meanwhile, at work, Marius was dicussing how they might go about taking the cubs from the vigilantes, for the cubs were valuable. "I say we ought to distract all the adults, get them to come to us, then send a few in to eal with whoever's left with the cubs and take them." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:20 PM "Ow!" She snarled at him angrily, baring her teeth. "You're the one who's being a fool! We meet someone who can tell us where we can find food outside the city, away from the Vigilantes and the humans, and you turn her out! She may have known where more rabbit holes were! But no, you can't stand the idea of having someone who isn't part of our pack here!" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:25 PM "That's a load of crap," Phelan replied. "If we keep going outside the city for food, then sooner or later the other camps will catch on. Second, like it or not, a vigilante is going to attract human attention if they join our camp, which means the cubs are in danger if she stays. And third, I'm trying to think of everyone here. You on the other hand are being emotional and selfish, putting your own feelings ahead. To my mind, the ones already here are more important than some jumped up snob of a vigilante." One of Marius' collegues, a woman named Janice replied, "That makes sense. After all, the cubs are valuable; we don't want them harmed in the slightest and if we wait til the clean up operation, that might well happen." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:26 PM "She still could have told us where to find food. You're just scared!" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:27 PM Marius nodded. "Indeed. The sooner we get the cubs, the better; I believe their official mating season is soon, and we want to get the ones they have now and not have to wait until spring." He paused. "Does anyone have any ideas for the distraction?" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:31 PM Phelan cuffed Sinopa again. "I'm not scared of anything. You however will be once I tell all the other strongest members that you're a traitor. You'll be running out of here as fast as you can. And if you say anything more to me, you'll regret it." Janice said, "We could lure them away with food, maybe; or perhaps use those devices that imitate their calls, so they think they're being challenged by another pack. We can use our guards to make sure they remain there, and in the meantime, the group we send to get the cubs can get them." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:33 PM Sinopa growled, but said nothing. The glare she threw at him was extremely venomous. O_o spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:39 PM Someone else at the meeting piped up. "Why not fire? according to our studied of their behavior, if a 'wild' fore gets too close to where they live, they send a few off their own out to try to contain it while it's still small. They're clever beats, and use dirt and water to their advantage, almost like cavemen." Marius nodded. "That could work. Any others?" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:46 PM Phelan ignored it, and went to his own tent. "I still think we need to use guards," said Janice. "After all, these creatures are extremely protective of their young, and once they realise what we're doing, they might attack us to try and keep their cubs safe. Guards to keep them back would be best." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:47 PM "We'll need the best of the best guards, as these ferocious beasts willb e strong." Marius said, nodding. "I was planning on guardss, actually; it would be follish to not have them." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 01:49 PM Sinopa turned on her heel and went in her tent, curling up in her wolf form and thinking dark thoughts. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:52 PM "Junkyard guards are usually the toughest," another of Marius' team said. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:54 PM "We'll have to contact all the the owners of the junkyards to see if they'll lend us some of theirs for a sum." Marius said, nodding and writing that down. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 01:56 PM "I'm sure they will; after all, they can just lend us say, two. That will add up to a lot once we get to all of them. And we can afford to offer a substantial amount, what with the profit we'll make on selling the cubs." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 01:58 PM "Yes. Who will take on the role of contacting the junkyard owners? I will talk to people formt he firestation about containing and maintaining a large fire." Marius said. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 02:00 PM "I'll do that," said Janice. She had a very persuasive manner. XD spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:04 PM "Good. I believe our meeting is concluded for the day, than." Mariu said. He had a very proffessional and almost cold attitude when it came to what he did; he was always proficient, like a machine, and that's why he was chosen for the job. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:05 PM In the Vigilante camp, Raoul was dragging a good-sized stag toward the Eltos and Antos. He'd gotten beaten up fairly bad by the beast, but as it had lost most of its antlers he wasn't gored. He had a bad limp in his right front paw, but it was a sprain and not a break. He dropped the stag and bowed his head, looking up at the Alphas with his eyes. "I hope this meets your standards." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:09 PM The Eltos, who ran all things hunting, inspected the beast. "Indeed is does, Raoul; good work." He looked at his mate, the Antos. She stepped forward. "For this, your punishment is over. Now, take this to the cubs' thicket so that they might recieve the best of the meat." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:11 PM Raoul nodded and grabbed the stag by what was left of the antlers, beginning to drag it over to the cubs. He was extremely glad the punishment was over; he wasn't sure why he was so prone to trouble. He let go of the antlers and barked to get the cubs' attention. "Deer!" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:12 PM "Deer? Oh,boy, oh, boy!" Came the cries of th children as they surged forward. Then beghan to playfully bicker over who was getting what while the nursemother followed slowly. "Hello, Raoul." She said, nodding to him. "This is a nice catch." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:14 PM "Thanks." He bowed his head and flopped over onto his side; he was exhausted. "I think I'm gonna sit out on hunting. If they'll let me. Owie." He held his sprained paw up in front of his muzzle to inspect it. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:18 PM "Would you like some poppy for the pain?" The nursemother asked. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:20 PM "I'm fine. It'll be better tomorrow." He rolled over onto his belly and rested his head on his paws, twitching his ears. "Thank you though." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:22 PM "You're welcome." She said. she then broke up a fight between two of the cubs. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:23 PM "Oh dear." He stood up and walked over. "What's wrong?" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:25 PM It soon became evident what was wrong; both cubs wanted leg meat, and so one of them had stolent from the other cub in order to have more. O.o Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:27 PM "Kids, there's four legs. Yes, the back ones can be meatier, but the front ones are just as good. It's called sharing." Raoul tore one of the front legs off (with some difficulty) and put it on the ground in front of the two cubs. "Here you go." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:28 PM They immediately began to tear into the meat, and only one of the two remembered to say 'thanks'. XD Miranda_ 11-26-2009 02:30 PM A lycaon came over. She was heavily pregnant, but not due to give birth for at least another two weeks. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 02:30 PM "and how are you feeling?" The nursemother asked. "Is everytihng going well?" Ooc: Going now, helping with food, bye! Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:31 PM Raoul just shook his head. "Manners, what happened." He looked up. "You want a leg or another part, ma'am?" Miranda_ 11-26-2009 02:34 PM "Everything's fine, thanks," the lycaon replied to the nurse mother. To Raoul, she said, "That would be great, thanks. After all, I've got to make sure the little one stays healthy." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:35 PM He nodded and tore the last leg off, putting it down in front of the lycaon. "Eat up, before it gets cold. Cold meat's gross." He smiled a bit. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 02:39 PM The lycaon's name was Sharama. She put her head down to eat the meat. She was looking forward to the birth of the cub, which was her second. The first cub she'd birthed was among the others now fighting for scraps. XD Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:42 PM "Easy, guys, come on! There's plenty for everybody. Anybody want the liver?" XD All times are GMT. The time now is 01:48 PM.

"Me!" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 02:55 PM Raoul laughed. "Okay, okay." He pulled the liver out and threw it over to Awenita. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 02:58 PM Awenita pounced on it and started to eat greedily. She was somewhat slender, but sturdy. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 03:00 PM Raoul made sure the cubs got what they wanted, and settled down to take a short nap. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 03:05 PM Sharama helped the nursemother to watch the cubs. *later* Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 03:07 PM Raoul was playing with some of the cubs; he was acting the part of a deer. XD spirit_queen 11-26-2009 04:17 PM Nursemother Franella watched. "Awenita, creep quieter, or the deer will hear you!" At that moment, Takaia came back, and she smiled when she saw the cubs playing with Raoul. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 04:18 PM Raoul just stayed where he was sitting, his back to the cubs. .. This is gonna hurt. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 04:20 PM Sharama was taking a nap. She'd eaten a lot and needed to sleep it off. xD spirit_queen 11-26-2009 04:23 PM Takaia immediately went to Eltos and Antos, and was goign to be way more severely punished than Raoul. O_o A cub pounced on Raoul, saying "Gotchaaa!" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 04:24 PM "Oh no!" Raoul fell forward onto his stomach, laughing. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 04:41 PM Several other cubs jumped onto him and nipped him playfully, chanting "gotcha, gotcha! Roaul, gotcha!" Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 04:45 PM "Oh no, don't eat me!" He laughed and shook around a bit, trying to get them off. "I taste like crow!" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 04:46 PM "Ewww!" They all got off him. XD Takaia came over, for even though she was being punished, she wasn't banned form playing with the cubs. "He lies! Get him!" She called playfully. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 04:48 PM "Oh come on, Takaia, I taste horrible!" He jumped to his feet and ran for a tree. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 04:48 PM Takaia and the cubs giggled and chased him. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:29 PM Sharama woke with a jump. "Keep the noise down, two dogs trying to sleep here," she mumbled. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 08:30 PM "Sorry, Sharama." Takaia said. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:32 PM "That's alright," Sharama replied. "Where did you go? Everyone was looking for you." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 08:39 PM "To the city. I know, I'm bad." Takaia said. "I'm already being punished; no lunch, ever, and only squirrel meat for the other two meals for the rest of the month. ONE squirrel... not to mention that I have cleanup duty in the cubs' thicket, and the same for the Elders' den." Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:46 PM Sharama looked shocked. "Why would you ever want to go there? It's dirty, and smelly, and full of dirt. Plus the humans live there, and the renegades would attack any vigilante that went there." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 08:48 PM "I wasn't attacked. Unless you count verbally, but that was only by one guy who was a real grump and pessimist. But I was curious to see if the city was really like they tell us." Takaia said as she used her hind leg to scratch her ear. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:51 PM "Why would the Elders tell us wrong? Anyway, you were probably lucky not to be attacked." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 08:53 PM "Maybe. I feel sorry for their cubs; they're almost always starving, and if things get too bad they're turned in to be slaves for the humans so that they don't die." Takaia said. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:56 PM Sharama looked horrified. "How could anyone give up their cubs? And to be slaves..." spirit_queen 11-26-2009 08:58 PM "It's either that or let them die, in the city. It's horrible." Takaia said sadly. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 08:59 PM "Sounds like it. Do they really not have any leaders?" spirit_queen 11-26-2009 09:02 PM "Yeah. there are some dominant renegades, but they're not really leaders, just pushy-shovey." Takaia said. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 09:04 PM "How nasty," Sharama said. She was about to say something else, but broke off to sniff at the air. "I smell something... burning," she said, starting to look worried. That was never good news in a forest. spirit_queen 11-26-2009 09:08 PM "Oh! I'll tell Eltos immediately." Takaia said. she ran off to tell the Eltos. "What!? We need ot assemble teams to take care fo the fire." Eltos barked. "Takaia, you, Raoul, and someone else should go and investigate; waste not time. Assess how big the fire is, then report back here to tell me how many need to be assembled to take care of the problem. Go!" With that, Takaia ran to tell Raoul and another her age to come with her into the forest. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 09:21 PM Sharama stayed with the cubs; she didn't think she'd be much use in putting out fires in her condition. Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 10:55 PM Raoul sniffed the air, his ears going back; this wasn't good. "You think the Eltos and Antos will let me stay back here, Sharama?" He looked back at her; if the Alphas wanted him to go, he would, but he was worried in particular about her and the cubs. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 10:57 PM Sharama looked worried. "Taka said that he mentioned you by name. If the fire spreads, it'll be even worse for the cubs. All I and Fan need to do is make sure they don't wander off." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 10:59 PM Raoul sat down, scratching behind an ear; it was obnoxiously itchy. "I'm just worried that the fire might scare the deer into coming this direction." Miranda_ 11-26-2009 11:03 PM "Maybe if you put it out quick enough, that won't happen. Anyway, it might just be a small fire and the pack will be back here before anything can happen." Silent_Wolf 11-26-2009 11:05 PM "Alright. Just stay safe." He stood and ran off to join the pack. Miranda_ 11-26-2009 11:06 PM Sharama gathered all the cubs together with the help of the nurse mother. "Now, don't go wandering off," she said. "Just settle down and have a rest." She didn't want them to get scared. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 01:41 AM Meanwhile, Taka dashed out with Raoul... and found that there was no one, but five seperate fires, all far too close to the den for comfort. "How could this happen? This cna't be natural." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 11-27-2009 01:08 PM "This isn't right." Raoul sniffed at the air; there was a feeling of dread growing in his stomach. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 07:59 PM Meanwhile, the guards were being used to cut the rest of the pack off from the cubs, Sharama and Fan. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:50 PM.

Takaia shivered. "Raoul, do I smell... outsiders?" Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:13 PM Meanwhile, Sharama was on edge; she could smell intruders slowly closing in on the hollow where she, Fan and the cubs were. Her hackles automatically rose. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 10:19 PM Fan stood in front of the cubs' thicket, guarding it; the cubs here her life, and so she'd protect them with her last. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:22 PM Sharama was beside her; however, she also had the life inside her to protect, so she knew that if her life was in danger, she would have to put her unborn cub first and run away. She agonised over the decision, hoping it would never have to be made. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 10:27 PM Fan wouldn't blame her, at least. So Fan waited, hackles raised, teeth bared. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:29 PM The branches of a tree parted, revealing the gang of humans who'd come for the cubs. They had sacks to put them in; their closed truck was outside the thicket, complete with cages. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 10:31 PM Fan growled and stayed where she was, determined to protect the cubs as best as she was able. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:34 PM The man in front spoke to his collegues. "Make sure those two stay back. Do whatever you have to do," he said to five of his team. "The rest of us will grab the cubs." spirit_queen 11-27-2009 10:38 PM "Not a problem." Replied a tough-looking brunette girl, her face severe and her eyes intense. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:41 PM "Remember, the cubs are valuable so they must be kept intact. However, the adult dogs are worthless. Do what you gotta." He signalled to both teams to start at once. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 10:46 PM The first team, the one that was to distract the adults, started out by throwing what appeared tobelittle black plastic balls. When they hit the ground, they released some kind of thick smoke. Fan gagged and began to cough, her eyes streaming; she could no longer even see straight, and the smell of that gas made her reel. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 10:51 PM Sharama backed away, her eyes streaming. In the meantime, the other humans were grabbing the cubs by the scruffs of their necks, and dropping them into the sacks. Awenita yelped as she was grabbed roughly, another cub howled. Sharama charged into the smoke, despite her stinging eyes and bit the first human that came near her. The man cursed and hit her first on the back, then accross her legs, with a heavy stick. Sharama yelped and fell back. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 11:40 PM Fan tried to tackle a man, but then a guard dog in turn tackled her, and she found herself in a fight with a wolf who was obviously much stronger than she was. The humans ruthlessly grabbed the cubs and dropped them in the bags, caring more for speed than anything else. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 11:45 PM Sharama cried out in horror as she saw the cubs being taken away from the thicket. "No! Don't take them!" she howled as she once again tried to attack one of the men carrying the sacks. A wolf guard knocked her over with his chest and lunged at her, teeth bared. Sharama was distressed; she had no choice now but to protect her unborn cub so she dodged his teeth and ran as fast as she could with her injuries away from the thicket. The fire had been in the forest so she didn't run there, but in the opposite direction, towards the city. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 11:49 PM Fan, meanwhile, did exactly as she said she would, and fought on viciously, but was eventually just shot by one of the humans, who thought her too much of a nuisance ot be bothere with anymore. And so, as the humans left with the whimpering, yipping, and frightened cubs, Fan slowly bled to death, and just let the end come without resistence; without the cubs, life was nothing to her, anyways. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 11:52 PM Sharama meanwhile ran on, too frightened to stop and rest, even tho she was bruised and bleeding from the scuffle with the humans and their guards. spirit_queen 11-27-2009 11:54 PM The humans, having gotten what they wanted, left; they didn't even put out the fires, for they figured that, even without the cubs, the vigilantes wouldn't let their home burn down. Marius waited for the call, impatiently thrumming his fingers on his desk and scowling at no one or anything in particular around him. Miranda_ 11-27-2009 11:56 PM Janice took her mobile out of her bag and called the office. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 12:04 AM Marius immediately picked up. "How'd it go, Janice?" He asked. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:07 AM "Perfect," Janice replied. "We're still waiting for the other group to return, but I doubt they had much trouble or they would have called us. We've got all the cubs there were, and right now they're being transferred from the sacks to the cages." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 12:13 AM "Good. I will let you continue with the mission. Call me when you are within the city." Marius said. He then hung up. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:16 AM Meanwhile, Sharama still was running. She'd left the world she knew ages ago and now was inside the city. Everywhere she looked was strange and frightening looking, making her not want to stop. Nowhere was safe. The very walls seemed to be full of shadows, mocking her. Sharama's paws were bleeding from her headlong dash, as was a wound in her side and one on the side of her head, where one of her ears was torn. Eventually tho, something had to give, and Sharama slowed to a walk, then fell down with exhaustion where she stood. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:21 AM Aldo was just on his way backed home when he turned the corner and saw her. He cursed then knelt by her and picked her up gingerly, starting to head for his home and taking care not to be seen. Once he got to his home he put her on top off his bed, the only one there, and started cleaning her wounds. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:26 AM Sharama had passed out, partly due to sheer terror but also due to loss of blood from her injuries. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:27 AM Aldo wished she'd wake up, if only to change to humanoid form. That would make it a lot easier to fix her up, and a lot easier to explain if someone managed to get in. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:36 AM A few minutes later, Sharama's eyes fluttered open. It took a while for her to be able to focus, then the first thing she saw was what seemed to be... a human. Acting entirely on instinct, she backed away from him, raising her hackles and snarling in an effort to protect her unborn cub. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:43 AM Aldo put his hands up. "It's okay, it's fine. Calm down. I'm a renegade Vulpine, my name is Aldo. You need to stop freaking out, do you hear me? You've been hurt and you could hurt yourself farther if you keep moving. If you're able, change to humanoid form. It's easier to fix one of those up." Aldo said, quickly as he could. He held up some bandages and anti-septic. "See? I just want to help." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:47 AM Sharama looked doubtful. She wanted to believe Aldo, but she'd just had a terrible experience that had taught her without a doubt that humans were something to fear. And Aldo didn't look or act like a canine at all. His very manner suggested humanity. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:49 AM Aldo sighed. He moved slightly and suddenly somehow seemed a lot more canine in his actions and in the cast of his face. "It's just pretending that I do. It lets me get things from human shops. I'm as canine as you are." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:52 AM Sharama visibly relaxed; her hackles went down and she stopped snarling. She tentatively tried to catch Aldo's scent, but her nostrils were full of blood so she couldn't. But she was sure now that he was telling the truth; in any case, for her cub's sake, she had to trust. She changed to her human shape, that of a girl with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. She didn't have any clothing at all, of course. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:55 AM "Okay, just lie back and let me patch you up. I'd ask you not to bleed on my bed, but it'd probably asking too much." Aldo said, soaking a clean rag in antiseptic. "This will sting a lot, but it'll stop you from getting an infection." he said, cleaning out her cuts and wounds with it. After that he put bandages on her and stitched whatever needed it. "It's not professional, but you'll survive." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:57 AM Sharama bit down on her lip to stop herself crying out at Aldo's administrations. She placed her hands protectively on her stomach as he tended to her. When he was finished, she sighed. "Will I? I don't even know where I am, or where I can go. I don't belong here, and it's not just myself who I need to think about." Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 12:59 AM "You're in the city. You smell like a vigilante, am I right? Forest leaves and... Smoke? Huh. But if you need help I can give it to you. You can stay here until you're in good shape again, if you want to. I'm not going to turn out another canine without a very good reason." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:01 AM Sharama began to cry as she remembered what had happened. "Humans came and took our cubs. I don't know what happened to the others in my pack. I just ran and ran." Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 01:03 AM "Don't worry about it right now." Aldo said, soothingly as possible, "Just worry about yourself for the time being. And you need to get dressed..." He started rummaging under the bed. "I keep some spare clothes for the others here. I'm pretty sure there's a dress." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:06 AM Sharama remembered that Takaia had mentioned that the renegades had given her clothes, so she made no objection. She'd have to not stand out if she was going to be safe. Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 01:10 AM Aldo put the dress over her head for her, leaving her to fix it comfortably for herself. "You have a name?" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:11 AM Sharmara fixed the dress so it was more comfortable. "My name's Sharmara." Sarah_K_O_M 11-28-2009 01:37 AM "Nice to meet you. I'm Aldo Carias. You feeling better?" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 12:41 PM "A little," she said, not wanting to disappoint him. She was feeling a bit better physically, but she was still deeply upset over the theft of the cubs. She didn't know what had happened to Fan, but expected that the humans had probably killed her. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:50 PM.

Takaia shivered. "Raoul, do I smell... outsiders?" "Yeah, I do." Raoul started growling a bit. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:10 PM The guards were released, in order to cut off the rest of the pack from the thicket where the cubs were, and where the other group were. These guards had all been borrowed from various junkyards in the city, and were the biggest and strongest guards there were. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 01:15 PM Raoul's hackles went up and he started growling louder, facing the guards. "Get out of here!" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:18 PM One guard, a grey wolf, laughed. "Make us. We'd so like to see you try." He and the other guards were in a line, effectively cutting the pack off from the cub's thicket. The humans were nearby, armed with guns and clubs in case the pack proved difficult. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 01:22 PM Raoul snarled. "If you touch the cubs, I'll rip your head off!" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:24 PM "We won't be touching them at all. That's not our job. Our job is to keep you dogs back so that the humans can take them," the guard wolf replied. "And don't worry about any of your dogs you left to guard the cubs; the humans will just shoot them." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 01:25 PM "B*stards!" Raoul lunged at one of the guards, teeth bared and claws out. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:28 PM The guard lost no time in attacking Raoul, teeth similarly bared. A little way away, the rest of the pack were attacking the guards, too. But it was an uneven fight; the guards were big and strong, and also they outnumbered them two to one. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 01:33 PM Raoul dug his teeth into the guard's shoulder, claws ripping. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 01:39 PM Takaia attacked, too, but she was better with speed, and so didn't so much dig in the way Raoul had and instead hit-and-run, trying to get the guard to abandon his post to go after her so that she could fight on more advantageous ground. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 01:54 PM The guards refused however to do any such thing. A vulpine guard came to the aid of the one that Raoul was biting, and slashed him hard in the shoulder with his teeth. Meanwhile, the other guards who were fighting the pack had already killed two pack members. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 01:56 PM Takaia abandoned her tactics and attacked the vulpine who attacked Raoul. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 01:58 PM Raoul growled hard when he was scratched, but refused to let go. However, when he saw Takaia heading his way, he let go and yelled at her, "Get out of here, Taka!" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:00 PM The grey wolf bit Takaia hard on a foreleg. The rest of the pack were soon pushed to the spot where Raoul and Takaia were and fought desperately, trying to break thru the wall of guards. The humans directed the guards to form a semi circle, effectively closing the pack in. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:01 PM "TAKA!" Raoul pounced on the gray wolf, biting into its neck. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:04 PM The fox barged into Raoul hard, making use of his considerable weight. The Antos was considerably distressed to see so many of the pack being either killed or wounded. The guards were closing in, they were outnumbered and they could not get thru the guards to get to where they'd left the cubs. She herself had had her right ear torn off and was bitten in a foreleg. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 02:06 PM Takaia yelped and limped back. The Eltos took a step back from his fighting and saw for himself just how badly they were outnumbered. "My friends and vigilantes, I order a retreat." he called. "Whaaaat?" Takaia said, gasping; she couldn't believe her ears. The Eltos repeated his statement, louder than before Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:07 PM Raoul was knocked away and rolled over onto his side, and he slowly got back to his feet. At the Eltos's order, he stared at the Alpha incredulously. "You're going to let them get away with this?!" Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:10 PM The Antos snapped back at Raoul. "Just how can we try to save the cubs if we're all dead? We're outnumbered by these guards, and there are humans armed with guns patrolling the outside. Even if by a chance, we did get thru, we'd all be shot before we could do anything else. Do what you're told, or else, you're on your own. I and Eltos are going to withdraw into the forest with those who are loyal." Another vigilante was similarly incredulous. "We can't just give up!" he shouted, hurling himself back into the fray. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:11 PM "You guys can go then, I'm not letting the guards anywhere near Fan and Sharama!" Raoul charged back at the guards. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 02:12 PM "We are far outnumbered; at this point, I must consider the pack as a whole, and letting ourselves be annihilated won't save the cubs. Raoul, can't you see that we're losing?" "B-but the cubs-" Takaia said. "I know. But we can't stop them; just look at how bad we're fairing! There are more of them, and they are better fed as well as stronger." Eltos said. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:16 PM "It breaks my heart for us to do this, but we have no choice," the Antos said, gently. She signalled to the rest of the pack to follow her and her mate into the forest. The vigilante fought alongside Raoul for a while, then a wolf with reddish fur ran at him. He struggled briefly with her for a time, but her superior size and weight soon told, and she tore his throat out, leaving him to bleed to death on the ground. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 02:18 PM Having seen this, other vigilantes began to follow the Eltos and Antos. Takaia followed, but only because she knew that she'd be of little help with her lame leg. "Raoul, c'mon, they're right! Please, Raoul! You're my friend, I don't want you to- to-" Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:21 PM Raoul was thrown by a large wolf and thumped against a tree, and he slid down it, landing on his belly. He was pretty sure his leg was broken now. However, he got right back up and charged at the guards again. He barely even heard Takaia's pleas. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:23 PM One of the humans felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, he answered it. "Hello?" Janice was on the other end. "Just to let you know; we have all the cubs caged in the van. There is no need to fend off the pack any more; you can start to make your way to the meeting point." Another human saw that, altho the majority of the surviving pack were now leaving the area, there was still one troublesome dog still attacking the guards. He raised his gun and shot at it. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 02:26 PM "RAOUUUL!" Takaia screamed, out of concern and also the desire to get his attention. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:29 PM The bullet hit Raoul in the leg, and immediately he fell forward, skid a few feet, and lay still. With a whine and whimper, he got to three feet and stared at the guards and humans, utter loathing in his eyes, and he half ran, half hopped after the pack. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 02:31 PM Takaia ran behind him, knowing that he was in worse condition than she, to make sure he didn't collapse or anything. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:31 PM "Gotcha," the man replied to Janice. "We're done here, anyway." He hung up and along with his collegues, started to round up the guards and go to where the others were waiting for them. Some of the guards were injured, but none severely. The dead pack members were simply left where they lay. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 02:54 PM "Taka, I'm fine." Raoul winced when he stepped the wrong way on his broken leg. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 02:58 PM Soon, the group of humans and guards met up with the others in the van. The guards were loaded into another van, and both vehicles set off for base. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:02 PM Marius, of course, waited for the call telling him that they were within the city. "No, you're not." Taka said, coming up beside him and helping him to where the rest of the vigilantes were. The Eltos had waited for the last two, then said "When the humans are gone, we will go back. How many of your know your herbs and healing?" Takai yipped and said, "Ido." she'd wanted to become the next nursemother, so she'd of course had to know how to tend wounds. A few others replied, but there were only four healers in the pack who were still alive now. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:04 PM "I know how to wrap cuts up. That's about all." Raoul nosed at the bullet wound in his leg; the bullet was still in it. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 03:05 PM As soon as the vans were within the city, Janice called Marius to tell him. It began to rain; the drops coming down fast and extinguishing the last of the fires. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:07 PM Marius picked up immediately. "Good job on your success, Janice. Your reward will come with the money we get form those cubs." Eltos nodded. "Any help at all will do. Let's move out, and get back now; the sooner we can help the wounded, the better." The Eltos did not mention the dead yet; that would come soon enough, and they didn't need reminders of the devastation the humans had left behind. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 03:13 PM "Thank you very much," Janice said. "I'll see you once we get back." The Antos said nothing. She was anxious about what they would find once they'd arrived at the thicket. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:13 PM Raoul had a horrible sense of dread about going back to the thicket. If the cubs were gone... spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:16 PM The Eltos thought the same, but he also felt that he needed to be strong for his pack, and that order needed to be achieved before they could properly mourn their loss. That, and he didn't want any more deaths than there already were because of infection. He wordlessly began to limp for the thicket. Takaia looked at Raoul once, insecurity written all over her face, then followed the Eltos. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:18 PM Raoul gave a similar look to Takaia and followed behind. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:20 PM When they reached the tcicket, the only one there was Fan, and she was obviously dead. She was even already cold. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:52 PM.

Every cub was gone, and so was Sharama. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:24 PM Raoul whined a bit and nudged Fan with his nose. Then, without much warning, he walked over to a bush and tore a branch off in his rage. "Da.mn humans! When I find out who did this I'm going to tear them limb from limb!" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:26 PM The Eltos bowed his head and said "May she find peace in the hall of the gods." Ooc: making this up as I go, but I'm thinking that the vigilantes would be similar to the Norsemen in that those who fought bravely and died bravely would be rewarded, or something. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 03:30 PM The Antos said to Raoul. "There is no point in thinking like that. If you kill a human, then they will wipe out our strain, not only our pack, but all the other packs. The most important issue now is mourning those who fought and died." She bowed her head. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:31 PM "That's not good enough-" Raoul froze and sniffed the air, particularly near the bush he'd torn a limb off of. "Sharama's alive!" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:32 PM "She must have run off to protect her unborn cub." Eltos said. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:34 PM "Yeah." Raoul sniffed harder, and became worried. "She went off toward the city." Miranda_ 11-28-2009 03:37 PM "She's not safe there; someone needs to go and find her," the Antos said, worriedly. "She may be injured, too." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:38 PM "..I-I'll go look for her." Raoul bowed his head. "But I don't think I'm coming back." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:39 PM Takaia shuddered. "The city is scar in the daytime, andit's almist night-time." "We'll try to find her later. for right now, me must treat the wounded, or none of us will be strong enough to go after her at all. Takaia, you take one of the other healers with you and gog fidn the herbs you need. Raoul, and and whoever is left will pick out those with the worst wounds and get them to lay down amongst the leaves in the thicket and try to clean them. This would be easier in your biped forms." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:41 PM Raoul nodded and went to check the rest of the pack. He was bleeding pretty bad from his shot leg, but it had slowed considerably. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:43 PM Some were much worse off than him,, with more than one broken leg, huge gashes, ears ripped off, etc. Takaia went off with one of the healers, while the remining one helped Raoul. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:46 PM Raoul helped a few get over to the thicket and helped them lay down so they wouldn't hurt themselves more. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:50 PM The other healer, named Fredrika and often called Rika, helped to lay down four more. "I hope Taka and Dustin hurry; this is all the room we have, and we have to start on these ones right away." Ooc: Gotta go shower, brush my teeth and stuf... I should be back in about an hour. ^^; I hope you don't leave... Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:50 PM Ooc: I'll still be here, don't worry. XD ~~~ "Yeah. You guys need help? I can do the broken bones." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 03:53 PM "Yes, please. You stay here; your leg as broken, and I've only got a few gashes; I'll get the wrap." Rika said, before running off. She soon returned in her "biped form" with a very roughly woven fabric; the vigilantes could weave, but only used the skill to make what they called 'wrap', which was used for dressing wounds. Rika limped over to Raoul. "Alright, let's get started." Ooc: Bye! Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 03:57 PM Ooc: Bye! ~~ Raoul looked irritated, as there were others who were hurt worse than he was, but he knew he wouldn't be able to help with a broken leg. He turned to his biped form as well and held out his left arm; one of the two bones in his forearm had broken and he couldn't move his thumb, index, or middle fingers. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 04:33 PM Rika worked quickly and soon had him bandaged up. "Now, be careful how you move your arm, okay?" Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 04:46 PM "I will." He got up to help the others. While he had a relatively lean looking vulpine form, he was actually fairly muscular in his biped form, had a very faint tan, brown hair, and green eyes. Oh my. XD spirit_queen 11-28-2009 04:56 PM Ooc: XDD If only vigilantes knew what crushing was... Rika enjoyed his compan. In fact, she enjoyed his company a bit too much, she admitted to ehrself. But, right now, Raoul's looks were put on the back-burner, as Takaia and dustin had returned with herbs and tutle-shells full of clean water, as well as empty shells and rocks for crushing and mixgins the various herbs, roots and berries. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 04:58 PM Raoul helped wrap up broken limbs. He had no idea what to do for the herb mixing, so he just made sure everybody was as comfortable as possible. Ooc: XD Yeah. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 04:59 PM Takaia went to work mixing herbs, Dustin made a small fire to heat the water, and Rika helped Raoul to address broken limbs. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 05:15 PM "I'm getting sick the humans doing this to us." He finished wrapping up a lycan's arm. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 05:23 PM "But what can we do? they have those boom-machines*, and we have nothing to stop those." Rika said, sighing as she tied up the last of the broken limbs in the first group. Ooc: *guns Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 05:35 PM "But we need to do something. Something that they can't use the boom sticks against." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 05:39 PM "Like what?" Rika asked, looking over at Raoul. At long last, Dustin's water began to boil. "Water's boiling." he called. "I've made four salves, and I've got poppy for the pain." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 05:43 PM "Anything. I wonder how they'd like it if their kids were stolen and their people killed." He growled a bit. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 05:53 PM Rika went over to him and placed a dark chocolate-colored hand on his shoulder. "Don't think like that, Raoul; don't think like them; just because they treat us bad doesn't mean that we should be like them." Rika was the gentle type, and hated fighting of any kind. Takaia and dustin went to work cleaning wounds, realising that the conversation between Rika and Raoul was private. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 05:58 PM "I'm just sick of sitting around and letting them kick us." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:01 PM "I know, but stealing their children and making them our slaves is not the way to handle the issue." rika said, smoothing back a curly lock of dark hair. "Granted, I don't have a good solution, but there has to be one better than turning into murderous monsters like them." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:08 PM "We wouldn't do that. We'd show their kids how we live, and that we're not mindless animals like they all think we are." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:10 PM "But stealing them to begin with isn't right." Rika said, shaking her head. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:14 PM "And yet we just sit here and let them do it to us. It's not fair." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:15 PM "I know." Rika said, sighing. "Well, right now we should worry about helping the wounded... will you help? I can teach you the basics." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:19 PM He sighed. "Okay. What do I do?" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:23 PM "First, we have to clean the wound; we do that by getting a piece of wrap and dipping it in some boiling water..." rika began. she then showed him how to clean a wound. ooc: Can you tell i'm too lazy to type all that out? xD Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:29 PM Ooc: Oh, not at all. XD ~~ Raoul followed the directions to the letter. "Now what?" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:32 PM "Salve; this is the harder part, because different salves do different things." Rika then explained all of the salves, what they were for, and told him which one she would be using on her current patient. She showed him how tickly to lather it, then tied some wrap around the wound. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:32 PM ".. How do you remember some of this stuff? My head hurts." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:35 PM Rika chuckled. "Well, Dustin, Taka, and I are here to help, so if you can't remember something in particular, just ask." she patted Raoul on the back, then headed for another patient. All times are GMT.

Raoul helped another patient. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:40 PM Eventually, the first group of the wounded were cared for, and Taka asked Eltos to send some people to help with moving the patients to another spot so they could work on more people. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:41 PM Raoul sat down to take a quick break. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:42 PM Rika came over to him. "While we're waiting, let me tend to that leg of yours." she said, indicating the one with the shot-wound. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:47 PM "It'll be fine." It had scabbed over. And the color was less than pleasant. O_o spirit_queen 11-28-2009 06:57 PM "Raoul, it looks like it's triyng to get infected." Rika said. "Please, let me help." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 06:59 PM He sighed. "Fine." He stretched his leg out, wincing; the muscles were tensed up fairly bad. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:14 PM "I wont lie to you, gettign the pebble-like thing out will hurt like hel's wrath..." Rika said. "But it must come out." She reached for a sharp instrument, a long thin knife of sorts, and dug in to Raoul's wound. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:17 PM Raoul howled in sheer agony. O_o spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:17 PM Rika shook some but quickly got the "pebble" out. "Oh, gods, I'm so sorry, Raoul!" Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:19 PM "I-It's okay." Raoul had bitten down hard on his tongue after he'd howled, and he spat some blood out, making a face. "Thee? I'm fine. Jutht peathy." Ooc: See? I'm fine. Just peachy. XD spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:20 PM Rika gave him a shaky smile. "Well, uh, the worse is over, but cleaning will hurt some, too." She said as she dipped some wrap in boiling water. "Would you like something to chomp down on this time?" Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:22 PM "Yes, please, I'd like that." He whined a bit, though this was more because he realized she was upset. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:24 PM There was a roll of wrap that was used only for chomping that Rika grabbed; she'd just forgotten to offer it to raoul before. "Alright, put this in your mouth, and bite down to try and help with the pain some." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:26 PM Raoul nodded and bit down on the wrap, trying to stay calm. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:30 PM Rika began to clean the would, making sure that she got ride of anything discolored, and that everything that had been eposed to the bullet had been cleaned. "Okay, the cleaning is done; now you get some poppy and salve for the pain and for healing." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:32 PM Raoul just nodded, his eyes shut; they had started to water from the pain. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:38 PM Rika quickly applied the poppy salve, which would dull the pain, and a thick, minty-sented salve that promoted healing, then wrapped the wound up. "Okay, I'm done." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:40 PM He spat the wrap out of his mouth, moving his jaw back and forth; it hurt. There were clear teeth marks in the wrapping. O_o "Th-Thanks, Rika. Sorry if I scared you." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:42 PM "It's alright. I'm just glad that you won't get infected, now." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:44 PM "Me too. Thanks." He smiled weakly. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:47 PM Rika hugged him. "I'm so sorry that I had to hurt you like that, though." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:48 PM Raoul blinked and hugged her back gingerly. "You weren't going to get that bullet out any other way though, so it's fine." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:49 PM "Okay." Rika said, letting go of him. "well, I think the next batch of the wounded are coming in, so... um... let's get back to work." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:52 PM "Yeah." He stood up shakily - his leg still hurt, but the pain was numbing over time - and walked over to one of the injured. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:53 PM Rika felt for him, and paused to watch him for a moment, then turned to help a patient. *later* After several exhausting hours everyone, healers included, had been seen to. Rika was whipped, and was more than ready to just lay down and go to sleep. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 07:56 PM Raoul had curled up under a bush in his biped form; he was too tired to change back to his vulpine one, and he was worried that if he changed now, his leg would be hurt worse. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 07:59 PM Rika did the same, and fell asleep where she was in biped form. Takaia wanted to change forms but knew that she'd havve to re-tie her wrappings if she did, and so kept her biped form. Dustin was the only healer who changed forms to go to bed. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:00 PM Raoul rolled over onto his stomach and stared at a line of ants marching across the base of a nearby tree. "... Nobody messes with the ants, of course," he muttered. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:02 PM Rika found that she was so exhausted that she actually couldn't sleep, and sighed; she got up and walked out of the thicket to go sit on a large rock and stare at the moon, which was just barely a crescent. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:05 PM Raoul saw her head up and, after arguing with himself about it, got up to sit with her. "It's nice out tonight." He sat next to her, pulling one of his legs up to his chest; the shot one didn't want to move much, but at least it had stopped hurting. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:07 PM "Yes, but it's a bit chilly." Rika said. "But the moon is especialy bright tonight, even though it's so small." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:08 PM "Yeah. Usually it looks a lot bigger." He tilted his head. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:09 PM "That's because it's autumn." Rika said with a shy giggle. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:10 PM "I thought the moon got bigger in the fall." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:12 PM "No, just brighter, I think." Rika said., turning her head to look at Raoul. This was something she regretted, as his eyes seemed to aprkle in the moonlight, and she blushed, though it didn't show on her dark skin. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:14 PM Raoul looked back at her and blushed a bit. "Do I have ants on my face again?" He rubbed his cheek nervously, though he wasn't blushing because of that; she looked really pretty in the moonlight. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:18 PM Rika giggled. "No, no... I was just, ah, thinking hat your eyes reminded me of springtime, what with all the new leaves and such." Rika's own eyes were dark, almost black, and her plump lips were a dark mauve shade. she had a nose with wide nostrils, and her cheeks were very round-shaped. Ooc: Aww. And haven't you ever noticed that true African-americans/Africans have big purplish/mauve lips? It's so cool looking! Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:23 PM Ooc: Yeah. ~~ Raoul blushed and looked up at the moon. "Th-Thanks." He looked back at Rika after a moment. "Yours make me think of the sky at night. Really sparkly." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:25 PM Rika giggled, partially nervous, partially something else. "Thank you." She bit her lip and shyly played with one of her curls, unsure of what to say next. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:53 PM.

Rika said, tugging at her hair. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:31 PM "Hmmm." He shook his foot around a bit. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:33 PM "Raoul? I- I think I'm suffering from..." She gulped, and in a really tiny voice, said, "...the madness*." Ooc: *"The madness" is what they call love, crushing, infatuation, or antyhing of the sort. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:36 PM "... Er." He scratched the back of his head. "I kind of guessed. You fevered?" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:37 PM Rika nodded. "And- and my heart's racing, and-" She shook her head; she couldn't put it all to words, it was too much. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:39 PM "Calm down." He put a hand on her shoulder. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:41 PM Rika looked up at him, and realised she wanted to kiss him, and to wrap her arms around him- but that kind of thing leads to mating, and mating is only for getting cubs. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:43 PM "Relax." He brushed some of her hair over her ear. "Maybe you're just tired?" spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:47 PM "No, I- I've had this thing for you for a little while, and have tried to deny it... but it's only gotten stronger." Rika said, thinking privately that the way he had reached out to touch her hair didn't help her case at all. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:49 PM Raoul blushed a little. "Well.. maybe you getting some sleep would help you calm down, at least. So you don't do anything rash." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 08:52 PM "Yeah, that would be best." Rika said, nodding. "Thank you, Raoul; you're a good friend." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 08:55 PM Raoul smiled; he'd always liked her too, but he didn't want to risk getting in trouble. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:00 PM "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then." Rika said, hopping down from the rock. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:01 PM "Yeah." He slid off of it as well. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:06 PM Rika walked with him back to the thicket, teempted despite herself to reach out and take his hand. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:20 PM About halfway back, Raoul managed to trip over a root; and with his leg being the way it was, his balance wasn't great. He fell on his face. Poor Raoul. XD spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:24 PM "Oh! Raoul, are you okay?" Rika asked, bending over to look at him. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:25 PM "Yeah. Ow." He got up on his hands, snorting a piece of grass out of his nose. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:26 PM Rika giggled, then hed out a hand to him. "Here, let me help you up." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:32 PM "Thanks." He grabbed her hand and stood up. "I'm going to be falling all over myself for awhile, aren't I." He sighed. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:33 PM "Yeah, but your wound should heal pretty quickly, at least." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:35 PM "Yeah. Thanks again, for that. Even if it did hurt, that's better than losing my leg. Or my life, for that matter." spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:36 PM "I's my job, Raoul, and the only thing I can really do well aside form sing." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:37 PM "I still appreciate it." He started walking, not realizing he was still holding her hand. ".. Tomorrow, could you sing for me? I don't think I've heard you." He blushed a little. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:39 PM She smiled. "Certainly." Silent_Wolf 11-28-2009 09:40 PM "Thanks." He smiled at her. spirit_queen 11-28-2009 09:44 PM "I- I used to sing for the cubs." Rika said, sighing. Miranda_ 11-28-2009 11:52 PM The Antos was awake also, but she hadn't noticed them leave. She wept for the dead, who had all been buried with a little mound of earth over them in a nearby valley, where the dead were traditionally buried. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:59 AM The Eltos was up, and he tried to comfort his mate as best he could, though he himself felt like mourning. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 01:05 AM It was a terrible time for the pack as a whole; the cubs gone, and beloved pack members dead. *later* Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 11:45 AM Raoul woke up feeling stiff in his joints, especially in his wounded leg. "Owww." He rolled onto his back, wincing. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:16 PM Takaia was up, but Rika was still asleep. "You can try stretching your leg out." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:18 PM "Yeah. Whew." He sat up to stretch his leg out; this however was apparently harder than it sounded. :lol: spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:19 PM Takaia nodded. "Yeah, that's gonna give you some problems, and stuff for a while." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:21 PM "Lovely." He sighed and lay back down, looking up at the sky. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:25 PM "Well, at least you tend to heal fast, right? And by the end of today, you need to let someone give you new wrap for that wound, okay?" Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:26 PM "I will." He rubbed his face. ".. What was it like in the city? Except for the jerk that chased you out, anyway." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:30 PM "It was... strange; wearing clothes felt weird, and the pantses were stiff, and there was glass on the ground, and the air smelled weird, and you couldn't see many stars at night. But the cubs were cute, if underfed." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:35 PM ".. What about the renegades?" All times are GMT. The time now is 01:53 PM.

Takaia said. Ooc: Takaia's dog form: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...va/Takadog.jpg Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:48 PM Ooc: Aww! *hugs it* So cute. ~~~~ "She sounds cool." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:51 PM "She was very nice, I liked her." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 12:53 PM "Think I'll run into her if I go to look for Sharama?" spirit_queen 11-29-2009 12:58 PM "...maybe? I should probably go with you, if you want her help." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 01:02 PM "I don't know if I'll go today. Probably shouldn't." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 01:03 PM "Yeah, probably not; the city is rough on ya." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 01:04 PM "Life out here can be just as rough." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 01:12 PM "Yeah, but we get to eat more than they do, and they have no leaders to organise things." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 01:15 PM "Except, like you said, there's some aggressive ones that would like to be leaders." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 01:20 PM "Well, no, Phel's not so much aggressive as he is... I dunno, a downer and always thinking of the worse; he chased me off cuz he thought I'd bring attention to their camp or something... but it sounds like there are worse renegades out there, or something." Takaia said. She sighed. "They make it all so complicated; can't they keep it simle like we do?" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 01:23 PM "Hell if I know." Sinopa was walking near the junk yard in her human form, her hands in her pockets and her head down. She had a bruise on her cheek where Phelan had hit her, and it hurt pretty bad; she was ignoring it though. Too much of a f**king chicken, won't do anything to make things better for the camp. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 01:49 PM Rusty was lazing in the sun inside the junkyard, his eyes half closed. Two of his fellow guards, a reddish wolf named Lupe and a grey fox named Crevan, had gone to fight the vigilantes the day that the humans took the cubs. Lupe was alright, but Crevan had been wounded and had been temporarily taken off patrol. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 01:51 PM Sinopa leaned against the fence, staring at the road in front of her. She could smell Rusty nearby, but didn't want to draw attention. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:13 PM Rusty's master was walking along the perimeter fence, deep in thought. He knew that he'd have to find a replacement for Crevan; the guard would take a while to recover from his injuries. But guards were so expensive; and he couldn't count on finding another street canine, as the humans called the renegades, to replace Crevan. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:15 PM Sinopa heard footsteps and quickly stood up straight so she wouldn't get yelled at. "..Uh, what's wrong, sir?" She blinked. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:21 PM "Oh, nothing much," he replied. "You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a replacement guard? One of mine is injured." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:23 PM "I wouldn't know. Sorry about that." She scratched the back of her head. "What happened?" Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:25 PM "I lent two of my guards out to a business who needed to borrow them," he replied. "They paid well for the hire, and there's always that risk. They're paying for the vet's bills too, so I won't be out of pocket, but it does mean I'm less one guard while he gets better." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:28 PM "Well, I hope you can find another one, then." She tried to give a sympathetic smile, but it was rather twitchy because her cheek hurt. "Ow." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:30 PM "I hope so, too," he said. He walked off down the perimeter fence. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:32 PM "..." Sinopa leaned against the fence once he was gone, thinking about what he'd said about needing a new guard. ... Be better off here. Wouldn't have to deal with Phelan being a d*ck. She rubbed the back of her head, biting her lip. .. And maybe I could smuggle some of my food out to the camp. Just don't know how. She crossed her arms and looked up; it was cloudy out, and she groaned. "Not rain, anything but that!" Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:36 PM As if the rain had been waiting for her to say such a thing; it began to fall. XD Rusty got up and went inside the shed, which had an opening both sides so that the guards could easily get in and out the junkyard. The perimeter fence surrounded the junkyard, and another fence surrounded it, meaning that there was a short alleyway between the fences. That was where Rusty's master was walking. This fence had a gate set in the middle, accessable only by humans, so that the guards couldn't get loose. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:40 PM Sinopa sat down and curled up, hoping she wouldn't get too wet. She hoped, rather darkly, that Phelan's tent sprung a leak. XD Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:42 PM Rusty didn't mind the rain too much, but he was resting at the moment rather than patrolling, so saw no point in getting wet. He wondered if Sinopa would come and see him again. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:46 PM Sinopa sighed and covered her head with her arms, looking over her shoulder. Surely Rusty would have noticed her scent by now? She gave a very quick whistle. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:51 PM Rusty's ears went up. He pushed the outer door open and saw Sinopa. "You can come in here if you want. The others are out on patrol." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:52 PM "Thanks." She stood up and headed inside. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 02:56 PM Rusty's bowl, once again, had some food left in it. There were comfortable beds there for the guards, with rugs on them. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 02:57 PM Sinopa changed back to her wolf form and curled up on the floor to try and dry off. "I'm about ready to go crazy." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:06 PM "Why's that? And you can finish up my food, if you want." Rusty settled down besides Sinopa. "It's pretty crazy over here right now; the routine's all messed up cuz Crevan's hurt and has gone away from here til he's better, so now there's just me, Lupe, Hunter and Raven to patrol. We really need five to do so efficiently." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:07 PM "I heard about that." Sinopa didn't want to talk about what was upsetting her. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:10 PM "So, tell me what's upsetting you, then. I might be able to help." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:15 PM "It's just to do with this idiot back in camp. I've been friends with him since he was a pup, and how does he repay me? Treating me like I'm less than him. He hit me! I'm older than him. And he goes around bossing everybody around. He'd sure as hell be fit in a Vigilante pack. He acts like an Alpha." She growled a bit. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:21 PM Rusty shrugged. "That's normal. It's what happens when you have no leaders; here, I and Lupe tend to lead most of the time, cuz we're the strongest. The strongest always ends up leading, whether it's official or not. But I'd like to think that we're more civilised than that as far as ironing out disputes goes." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:22 PM "I think he's just p*ssed off because his girlfriend or whatever lost a pup. Miscarriage." She put her head down on her paws. "He won't talk to her or even go near her now. And then he gets all mad. Yesterday he kicked out a Vigilante after she helped us find food!" Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:28 PM "Are you sure you've got it right? Just that it sounds like you're automatically finding reasons to take a stranger's side against your friend's," said Rusty. "Lupe would understand how it is in a renegade camp; she came from one. So did Crevan. Those were the names they were given by their parentswhen they were born; whereas the rest of us were given them by humans. Master sometimes gets renegades off the streets to train up as guards. He'll have you change to human shape so you can give him your name, then after that, you're not allowed to change unless he says you can." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:31 PM "She told us where a rabbit hole was. Then she was telling me what things were like where she was, and I thought it was interesting, then he showed up and got mad at her for it." She sighed. "She wasn't being rude at all, all she said was that things were different where she was from." She looked at him. "Seriously? I thought you guards were just given names when you were bought or taken." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:33 PM "It depends on the human; Master tends to take renegades as adults, so they're already used to one name. I was bred for the purpose of being a guard, and so was Hunter. Raven, I think, was found at a police station. He was too young to have been given a name. I guess his mother gave him up for some reason." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:35 PM "Not enough food, maybe." She sighed. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:53 PM.

Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:38 PM "Yeah." Sinopa was quiet for a little while. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:40 PM "As for your friend, I wonder; did you talk to him about what was up or just shout?" Rust said. "If something like that happened here, Lupe and I would ask what was going on, and what the problem was. We usually get things sorted out. It works better than fighting over it; we can save that for anyone stupid enough to try and break in. Happens a lot; renegades do, sometimes, and humans do for the car parts. We can stop them, tho." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:42 PM "He was shouting first. I ain't talking to him, not if he's going to hit me whenever I say something he doesn't like. And he says that if I ever argue with him again, he'll get the camp to chase me out and that I'll be "lucky to escape with my life" because he's apparently sooo influential." She made a derisive snorting noise. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:46 PM "Like I said, might is right. The strongest do usually lead. Anyway, you don't have to live there any more; you could come and live here instead." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:47 PM Sinopa looked at him in surprise. ".. For real?" Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:52 PM "Yeah, you could be the guard to replace Crevan. You just need to approach Master in your wolf form and then don't react when he touches you; that's how he tests whether or not a renegade is suitable. When you join, you'll also have to do what I and Lupe say." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 03:53 PM "As long as I don't get hit if I do something wrong." Her ears drooped. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 03:58 PM "Only if you're obnoxiously rude, then you might get your ears pulled." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:01 PM "I'm not like that, believe me." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 04:03 PM "Then you'll be fine." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:04 PM "I'll uh. I'll come back tomorrow and do that." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 04:08 PM "Alright. Come around midday; he's nearly always around then." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:08 PM "Alright." She got up and stretched a bit. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 04:17 PM "Have some of my food before you go. I've had enough." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:20 PM "I'm not hungry, had some pizza before I started wandering around. I've grown to like anchovies." She made a face. "Well, not like them. I'm used to them, that's better. Thanks, though." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 04:22 PM "Take it back then for the cubs; there's an empty box over there in the corner." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:27 PM "Thanks." She swished her tail thankfully and went to grab the box. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 04:50 PM "It's still raining out there, so go carefully." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 04:52 PM "I will. There's a couple alleyways that are kind of covered." She put the food in the box and headed to the door. On the way, she stopped and put the box down and licked Rusty's muzzle. "Thanks again." She smiled with her eyes. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 05:21 PM "That's alright," Rusty said. He was starting to get feelings for Sinopa, and was looking forward already to her coming to live at the junkyard. *later* Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 05:21 PM Sinopa had taken the food back to the camp. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 05:26 PM Aldo was there, poking stuff. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:01 PM One of the cubs, named Gigi, began to get excited. "Sinopa! You're baaaack!" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:08 PM "Yes, I am, kiddo." She laughed a bit and put the box down, tearing one of the sides off so they could get to the food. "Eat up, okay, kids?" spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:15 PM The cubs converged on the food, and all hell broke loose. XD Ooc: Brb; switching computers Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:17 PM Ooc: Aw. ~~ Sinopa had moved out of the way. XD Back with the Vigilante pack, Raoul was changing the wrapping on his leg; it was starting to hurt again. While it didn't look as bad as the day before, it still looked nasty. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:19 PM Rika checked up on him. "How's that leg?" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:20 PM "Getting better. Still pretty bad though. Though at least it doesn't smell like it's rotting," he added. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:27 PM "Well, that means it's not infected, which is a very good thing." Rika said, crouching to inspect it herself. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:28 PM "Yeah. Still doesn't look pretty though, does it." He was trying to make her laugh. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:29 PM Rika giggled. "No, not really; but at least it won't leave much of a scar, eh?" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:33 PM "I hope not." He smiled. "Thanks again for making sure I wouldn't get sick, Rika." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:35 PM "My pleasure, Raoul." Rika said. She paused, then said, "I'm going to see Eltos today, and tell him about my madness." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:39 PM "Alright. .. You feeling okay, this morning?" spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:42 PM "What do you mean?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:43 PM "Just wanting to make sure you were okay. You were really stressed out last night after the humans attacked." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:44 PM "How could I not be? Especially wehn I did almost nothing to help." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:49 PM "You saved a lot of the pack, though. I'm sure that a lot would be in a really bad condition if you didn't help." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:50 PM "It's the least I could do." Rika said. "So... I promised to sing for you, remember?"

He blushed a little. "Could you?" spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:52 PM "Well, what kind of song do you want to hear?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:52 PM "Any kind is good. I don't mind." He smiled. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:54 PM Rika nodded, and said, "Let me warm up firs,t okay? I might not sound too great without a warm-up since I just woke up." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:55 PM He nodded and sat up against the tree, crossing his legs. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 06:58 PM Rika cleared her throat, then warmed up on a basic arpeggio, and started on a low now and gradually let the note slide higher and higher until it was a bit rediculous how how it was. "Okkay, um, I think I'm ready..." Rika said. "Are you?" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 06:59 PM On one of the higher notes, Raoul winced. XD "Yeah." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:01 PM Rika sang a song about one of the vigilante legends about a vulpine hero. Her voice was a gentle soprano, all sweet and dainty, like a flute. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 07:02 PM Meanwhile, Janice was working hard on the plans to clear the vigilantes out of the land earmarked for the extention of the city. They needed to be perfect so that everyone involved understood what they were to do. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:02 PM Raoul was mesmerized by her voice. When she was done singing, he could barely get his words out. "That.. that was beautiful, Rika." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:03 PM Marius, of course, was working with Janice. Rika blushed and shyly looked down and began to play with her hair. "Th-thanks." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:04 PM "You don't need to be shy about it, you're amazing." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:07 PM Rika giggled. "You're so sweet, Raoul." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:09 PM "No I'm not, I'm coarse and mean. Grrr, fear me." He laughed. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:11 PM Rika did a somewhat pathetic fake scream and said "Oh, no! Save me from the monster!" Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:15 PM He laughed. "I'm kidding." He yawned a bit, rubbing an eye. "I think I'm going to take a short nap for a little while. I'm still tired." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:19 PM "Okay; I'll go talk to Eltos and Antos about my problem." Rika said. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 07:19 PM Janice showed Marius her plans. "I think we should make this a clear out operation; for one thing, if we shoot the dogs, we'll only have to clear the bodies before the bulldozer arrives. If we can, we should try and scare them out. Once they're out, we'll fence the area in with electric fencing so they can't get back in. I doubt they'll be in any condition for fighting, anyway." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:20 PM Marius nodded. "What do you suggest we do to scare them out? There are many options." Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:20 PM Raoul nodded and curled up under his usual bush; he wasn't sure if it was going to rain again or not. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 07:30 PM "We can use fire like last time, or loud noise of some description. We're going to have to cut the trees down anyway, so it doesn't really matter if what we do damages the forest." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:32 PM "Firecrackers?" Marius said. Silent_Wolf 11-29-2009 07:35 PM Raoul fell asleep after wondering what the Antos would say. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:36 PM Rika was nervous about what the Antos would say. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 07:41 PM The Antos wasn't in the best of moods either, after the deaths and kidnappings. Janice replied, "Yes; firecrackers sounds like the best idea. Not too costly, either." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:44 PM "Good, than." Marius said. Rika hesitantly approached the Eltos and the Antos, who were sitting side by side. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 07:49 PM "Rika, do you have something to ask us?" the Antos asked, quietly. Kasa was tentatively venturing out into the garden. It had stopped raining. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 07:51 PM Rika nodded, but remained silent. Eltos sighed, but patienly said, "Rika, we can't do anything for you if you don't tell us." She nodded. "I- I think I have the- madness." She managed to squeak out. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 07:51 PM Aldo was now walking along the street. He had a bag of nails in his hand. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:01 PM The Antos sighed. "Who for, and how long has this been going on for?" Kasa wondered what he was doing. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 08:02 PM "For Raoul, and several weeks." Rika said, sighing. "I had the madness once, a long time ago." Eltos said. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 08:04 PM He stuffed the bag of nails into his pocket then saw her. He grinned. "Hello again." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:08 PM "So did I, but I got over it," the Antos said. "I had to leave my original pack and join a new one in order to do so, but I don't regret a thing." Kasa looked at Aldo suspiciously. "What are you doing? And I never see you take your normal shape; do you want to be a human or something?" Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 08:09 PM "It's easier to get around like this." Aldo said, "Less people try to spit on me. Besides, you've only seen me twice." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:16 PM "I've seen you walk thru this road lots of times," Kasa said. "I don't know why tho, you don't live here." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 08:17 PM Rika nodded, but didn't looke like she liked the moving part very much. XD "But it is possible to get over it without moving; moving is a last-case scenario." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 08:19 PM "It's a shortcut. And the houses look nice. I would have been into buildings if I'd gotten to teen school." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:26 PM "Yes, but it takes a lot of work, on both sides," said the Antos. "As long as you don't damage anything," said Kasa. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 08:27 PM "Raoul never admitted ot having the madness, though." Rika said. Eltos raised a brow. "But does that mean that he's not mad for you, as well? Are you sure he's being truthful?" Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 08:28 PM "Why the hell would I do that? It'd just make everyone look bad and then humans would be blathering on about how awful canines are, like they're so lily white." All times are GMT. The time now is 01:54 PM.

"If he does, and is away for a while it might be enough to cure the madness on its own." "You're not every single renegade in the city, you know. Some do damage stuff, and steal." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 08:36 PM "I hope so, because it's getting harder and harder to just ignore it. the madness, I mean." Rika said. "Well, it won't be easy, but time apart will help; you will be able to think rationally about things, that way." The Eltos said. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:45 PM "Exactly. Otherwise, one of you may have to join another pack." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 08:46 PM Rika shivered. "I understand. Thank you." She said with her head bowed. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 08:58 PM "It's for the best," the Antos said, gently. "Life is so much better without unnecessary complications." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 09:01 PM Quote: Originally Posted by Miranda_ (Post 881672) "You're not every single renegade in the city, you know. Some do damage stuff, and steal." "And when they do the humans act like it's every renegade doing it. I don't want to add to that." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 09:07 PM Rika nodded, thankes the Eltos and Antos for their time, then left. The Eltos sighed. "Poor girl, she looked like she was so troubled by it." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 09:08 PM Kasa conceded the point. "I've still never seen your canine form. Is it ugly or something?" Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 09:11 PM "I don't think so. It's a fox. I like foxes. We look good." he said defensively, and a little self-consciously. XD Miranda_ 11-29-2009 09:17 PM The Antos sighed, too. "But it's for the best that she gets over it." "Can I see it?" Kasa asked. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 09:18 PM "It is; I made a bad decision when I had the madness, and paid for it." the Eltos said. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 09:21 PM Aldo looked around then changed. His vulpine form was big and sleek, but obviously underfed. His coat was a dark reddish colour, darker than a usual fox coat, with a white-tipped tail. His eyes were the same colour as his humanoid eyes and he still had the dogtags around his neck. He was kind of adorable. XD "Ta da." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 09:25 PM "Hopefully this will work," the Antos said. "I'm much happier as I am, rather than if I'd stayed with my old pack." Kasa thought so. XD "You look much cuter in this form." spirit_queen 11-29-2009 09:26 PM "I never changed packs, and neither did she; we just both somehow managed to get past it." The Eltos said. Though, a part of him thought that wasn't true; his former lover was one of those who died, and her death had stirred up old feelings and grief for him. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 09:28 PM "Oh great. I'm cu-" Aldo got distracted by his tail and started chasing it in circles. XD Miranda_ 11-29-2009 09:34 PM The Altos had all but forgotten her old love; she had determinedly put him from her mind when she'd left her old pack. She had a motherly concern for Sharama, cuz Sharama was a relative newcomer to the pack, having left her father's pack so that she could find a mate and have a cub. "Cute isn't a bad word, you know," Kasa said, as she watched Aldo's antics. XD spirit_queen 11-29-2009 09:36 PM Well, it was harder for the eltos, because he'd seen her every day, as well as the child they'd had. He, too was concerned for Sharama, and her unborn cub. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 09:43 PM Aldo composed himself. "It may as well be." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 09:50 PM This was one of the reasons, as well as wanting to fix the madness, that the Altos wanted Raoul to go and find Sharama as soon as possible. "Why? Lots of people think I'm cute," said Kasa. spirit_queen 11-29-2009 09:51 PM But the Eltos didn't want to push Raoul beyond his limits; his leg needed to heal some more before he'd be permitted to go. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:15 PM "It's different when you're a Renegade." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:17 PM The Antos understood that too, but she also knew how eager Raoul was to go. "Really? How strange," Kasa said. Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:18 PM "You have to be tough, or you get messed over. You just have to look sweet. It's easier." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:22 PM "I could look tough, if I wanted to." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:24 PM "It'd take a while though. You're not very threatening." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:30 PM Kasa looked insulted. "I bit a burglar once, when he broke into the house." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:31 PM "There's a difference though. Defence is that, but threatening is when people don't mess with you because they think you'll do far worse to them then they can do to you." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:36 PM "I've never had to deal with that, tho." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:40 PM "Because you're a pet." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:45 PM Kasa bristled. "No need to make it sound like an insult." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:48 PM "I wasn't. I was simply saying." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:52 PM "Good. Cuz I happen to like being a pet, thanks very much. I don't pass judgement on your lifestyle." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 10:55 PM "You're kind of unique like that." Aldo said. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 10:59 PM "I don't see the point or the need to attack others, unless they attack me." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 11:01 PM "Then you really are different from most pets, guards and humans." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 11:03 PM "You've probably just not met any of the nicer ones." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 11:04 PM "As far as canines are concerned a nice human is just an oxymoron." Miranda_ 11-29-2009 11:09 PM "Your choice," Kasa said. "I'm going in now, it's getting cold and my master will be home, soon." Sarah_K_O_M 11-29-2009 11:12 PM "It's not my choice. It's how they act." Aldo said. He changed back into humanoid form. "See you then." he said, strolling off. Miranda_ 11-29-2009 11:18 PM Kasa ignored the first part of what Aldo said. She had seen nothing but the kindness of humans. She went back into the house. *next day* All times are GMT. The time now is 01:54 PM.

Miranda_ 11-29-2009 11:56 PM Kasa was eating her breakfast, and waiting til her master had left before she went into the garden. Today, the weather was fair, with sunshine. Sarah_K_O_M 11-30-2009 12:00 AM Aldo sat down on the kerb and waited. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 12:03 AM After Marius had left for work, Kasa came out into the garden. Sarah_K_O_M 11-30-2009 12:05 AM Aldo wandered over and tapped the fence. He waved the hand holding the rose. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 12:09 AM Kasa looked. She wondered if the rose was for her, but didn't want to say anything in case it wasn't. Sarah_K_O_M 11-30-2009 12:10 AM Aldo held it out to her. "Here. I thought you might like this. It's silk." Miranda_ 11-30-2009 12:12 AM Kasa took it in a paw. "Thanks. I don't really have anything to give you in return, cept some biscuits. Would you like them?" Sarah_K_O_M 11-30-2009 12:14 AM "I guess so. I know someone who could really use them." Aldo said, referring to Sharama. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 12:17 AM Kasa gently picked up the rose in her teeth and trotted back into the house. She put the rose by her bed, and picked up an empty box from the cardboard skip in the kitchen. She filled it with her biscuits, before going back outside to give the box to Aldo. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:54 AM In the Vigilante pack, Raoul was itching to go and look for Sharama; his leg still hurt, but it was getting better quickly. Sinopa was getting ready to leave. She'd already talked to another renegade about picking up the food she was going to sneak out; however, she hadn't spoken to Phel about it and planned on leaving as soon as possible to avoid him. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:04 AM Rika inspected it. "Wow, this is marked improvement." She said, clearly impressed. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:08 AM "Well, I do heal fast." He had his face in the grass; mostly because he'd woken up with a bleeding nose. He believed he may have cracked himself in the face in his sleep. XD spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:10 AM "Raoul, how do you always manage to hurt yourself on a daily basis? I mean, you woke up with a bloddy nose this morning!" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:12 AM "I told you, bad luck follows me around like a sad puppy." He remembered hearing a human say that, and it sort of made sense to him; sad cubs tended to follow you around when they were upset. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:17 AM "Aww." Rika said. She used a paw to pat his head. XD Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:18 AM He made a noise of discontent. XD spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:24 AM "Well, at least your luck is just bad an not the horrible kind, or your leg would take years to heal instead of days." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:24 AM "Don't jinx it!" O_O spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:25 AM Rika laughed. "Don't worry, I've got the magic touch!" Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:26 AM "Yeah. I get to keep my leg." He lifted his head and smiled after rubbing the dried blood off his nose. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:27 AM Rika smiled back and giggled. "In another day or so you should be able to walk without tripping and losing your balance all the time." All times are GMT. The time now is 01:54 PM.

Rika said, nodding. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:07 PM "Anyway, uh." He sat up. "What did the Eltos and Antos say?" spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:08 PM "That seperation form you would be best, which will happen anyways when you leave ot find Sharama; when you're gone, I'm supposed to be able to think clearly." Rika rpelied with a sigh. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:09 PM "Oh." He looked at his feet. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:13 PM Rika bit her lip. "I- uh- to be honest? I'm kinda not sure I want to get rid of the madness..." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:21 PM "But if you don't, you'll have to leave. And then we'll never see you again." He'd nearly slipped and said "I'll" but caught himself before he even said it. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:22 PM Rika sighed and her shoulders slumped. "I know, so I'll work on it whethor I want to or not; I'm scared of leaving." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:25 PM "Alright." Raoul scratched behind one of his ears. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:27 PM "Well, ah... I should, uh, go check on some of my other patients." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:30 PM "Yeah. I need to go uh, go try and find something for us all to eat. Better go ask the Alphas if I can go on my own." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:33 PM "You can take Taka if they don't want you alone, because she's a decent hunter AND a healer." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:45 PM "I know. I won't go after any huge bucks today, just a doe." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:47 PM "Well, go ask them." Rika said, gently nudging him. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:48 PM "I will." He smiled a bit and stood up, heading to where the Eltos and Antos were. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 08:50 PM The eltos was more or less on break at the moment. XD Miranda_ 11-30-2009 08:52 PM The Antos was feeling vaguely uneasy. She could not shake the thought that this might not be the last they'd see of the humans. She was planning an escape route, should the humans return; and it scared her, somewhat. The only escape would be towards the city. The other way led to territory occupied by other packs, so there would be the usual scuffles, which they could ill afford, with some dead and others wounded. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 08:55 PM "Antos?" Raoul sat down near her. "Could I go out and hunt a doe for the pack? I can handle a doe at least, even with my leg and arm being hurt." All times are GMT. The time now is 07:45 PM.

"Of course. Just make sure you're back before the sun goes down; I need to address the pack." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 09:04 PM He nodded and headed over to Takaia; he needed somebody to re-tye the wraps around his arm and leg once he changed back to his vulpine form. He changed and nudged her with his good front paw. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 09:05 PM "Alright, alright." Taka said, re-tying his wraps. "Be careful, bud." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 09:07 PM He nodded and headed into the bushes. Sinopa finished making sure everything was in order; she made sure that the renegades who watched the cubs knew what to do with the biscuits to turn them into gravy and biscuits, arranged with another to pick up food that she would sneak out. She was just worried about Phelan; and she planned on leaving in the middle of the night. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 09:28 PM Phelan had gotten into a fight with a renegade from a rival camp, who had attacked him when he was coming back from looking for food. Both of them had fought for some time, before Phelan was able to defeat his opponant and send him packing with his tail between his legs. Phelan however had been bitten in the leg, badly. He was taking a while to return to camp as a result. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 09:31 PM Sinopa crept out of the camp, trying to stay as quiet as possible. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 09:43 PM Rusty was patrolling the junkyard along with Raven. Their master was walking the perimeter fence. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 09:46 PM Sinopa sat on the sidewalk in her wolf form, waiting patiently to be seen. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 09:53 PM Rusty's master, who's name was Everett, soon did see her. "Hmm, what's this then?" he said. "Maybe my problem will soon be solved." Everett went up to Sinopa and put his hand on her head. That is what he'd done with Lupe, and also with Crevan, to see if they were willing to work for him. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 09:53 PM Sinopa lifted her head a bit to sniff at his arm, but otherwise didn't react. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:00 PM "Good, good," Everett said. "Come with me; we need to sort a few things out." He indicated that Sinopa should follow him to the office. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:01 PM She stood and followed him. Raven noticed immediately and nudged Rusty. "Check her out. Nice coat for a Renegade." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:03 PM Hunter, a very dark lycaon, only grunted when he noticed Sinopa. "Who's the newb?" He asked Rusty and Raven. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:08 PM "Her name's Sinopa," Rusty replied. "Looks like she might be joining us, after all." Everett waited til Sinopa was in the office, before shutting the door. He said to her, "You can change form now; I need to know your name and measurements." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:09 PM She gave a canine sort of shrug and changed. "My name's Sinopa. S-I-N-O-P-A, sir." Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:15 PM Everett wrote this down. "You need to have a uniform of combats for your human form, but you won't be using that very often, only when I give permission. Your uniform for your canine form will be a collar." He gave a careless wave towards a cabinet. "You can look thru there to see if any fit; if not, I'll take your measurements and get one made for you." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:16 PM She nodded and walked over, opening one of the doors on it. Almost immediately she found one that was camoflauge and her size. XD "This one fine, sir?" She held it up. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:19 PM "Yes, that's fine. You'll find a collar in the bottom of the cabinet. It's mainly for your own protection, if you should ever find yourself outside my land, so that people know that you're one of my guards." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:23 PM Hunter snorted again. "So long as she doens't touch my food, then I don't care much." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:24 PM "Alright." She checked in the drawer and found a collar that matched. "I wouldn't mind sharing. Meeoww, she's a fox! .. Well, wolf, but da.mn." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:25 PM Hunter raised a brow and then rolled his eyes. "Quit being a h0.rndog." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:26 PM "I wouldn't do anything! You have to admit though, she's fine." Sinopa would've snapped at his ear for that. XD Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:28 PM Rusty nearly did. XD "Leave her alone; maybe she doesn't want to be with you." Everett said to Sinopa, "Just get changed into the clothes, then take your canine form again. I'll need to introduce you to the other guards." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:30 PM "There's nothing wrong with looking." Raven sounded pouty. "Besides, she's probably not my type if she came here willingly." "Is there somewhere I can get changed? I'm er, not comfortable with changing in front of people. Human or otherwise." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:31 PM "I don't want to know what your 'type' is; actually, I don't think anyone does." Hunter said. He had an almost monotonous voice, and it was very deep. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:34 PM "I like the ones that are fiesty. How's that?" Raven sat down and scratched behind an ear. His voice wasn't deep or light exactly, more in the middle and leaning toward a rather high voice. He also had a positively chipper tone of voice. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:36 PM "Once again, no one wants to know." Hunter grumbled. Ooc: Hunter's voice is almost like Eeyore's form Winnie the Pooh, but less depressed and more gruffly indifferent. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:37 PM Ooc: Raven's voice is like Dug's from Up. XD ~~ "So I told you! Because, y'know, you'd totally want to know after awhile." spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:39 PM "For what purpose?" Hunter asked, raising a brow. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:40 PM "Curiousity killed the... canine." Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:41 PM "You can use the office; just pull the blinds down. I'll wait outside for you." Everett went out of the office. Lupe came back from patrolling the junkyard at that moment. "I came here willingly, remember?" she said. "It's not as tho it's something terrible." Lupe was a wolf, with reddish fur, and brown eyes. She was also large and muscled, with a white patch on her chest. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:43 PM "Well, you're too big for me! N-Not that you're fat or something, Lupe, you're just more muscly." Sinopa mumbled a 'thanks' as he left the room, and she pulled the blinds down before changing into the combats. She was just glad they were comfy. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:43 PM "And Lupe certainly ain't demure, Raven." Hunter said. Miranda_ 11-30-2009 10:48 PM "Just as long as you remember that Rusty and I run things round here," Lupe said. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:49 PM "I know." Raven's ears drooped. "Just don't put me in the cone thing again. That sucked so much." Sinopa finished changing and put the blinds up before coming out of the office. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 10:50 PM Hunter laughed. "That was funny." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 10:52 PM Raven just whined. XD Miranda_ 11-30-2009 11:12 PM Everett took Sinopa over to where the other guards were, and introduced her. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:13 PM She shuffled her feet and just mumbled a 'hello' before changing into her wolf form. spirit_queen 11-30-2009 11:13 PM Hunter sniffed her some, then snorted.

Lupe sniffed at Sinopa. "Renegade, huh? I was one, once." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:22 PM "No kidding?" Sinopa sniffed back. "Why'd you leave? Not that I'm mad at you, I understand." Miranda_ 11-30-2009 11:27 PM Lupe shrugged. "Too much cold and not enough food. I didn't see the point of dying fighting over a few scraps of meat, so I came here. Best decision I ever made." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:31 PM "I left because I was sick of fighting with a dominant moron. It got to the point that if I disagreed with him on anything, he'd hit me." Sinopa shrugged. "The food was a factor, too." Miranda_ 11-30-2009 11:42 PM "Happens. A lot of the males get that way, present company accepted of course," Lupe replied. Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:44 PM "I hope so." Sinopa scratched behind an ear. "So, um, what do I do?" Miranda_ 11-30-2009 11:55 PM "We take it in turns to patrol the area, both inside the perimeter fence and outside it," said Lupe. "Anyone we find trespassing, we chase off or if they won't leave, we fight. We tend to patrol in either three or two." Silent_Wolf 11-30-2009 11:57 PM "Alright then." Sinopa nodded. Miranda_ 12-01-2009 12:08 AM "You can patrol with Hunter and Raven for the time being; Rusty and I will take a break. If you need help, just bark and we'll come and help you." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:56 AM Raven started walking along the perimeter fence; he wanted to stay away now. XD spirit_queen 12-01-2009 11:39 AM Hunter rolled his eyes at him, then said "C'mon, Sinopa, before birdbrain gets too far ahead." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 11:41 AM Sinopa nodded and followed behind Raven. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 11:50 AM Hunter took up the rear, decided that the newb ought to be in the middle. Miranda_ 12-01-2009 05:57 PM Lupe went to lie down in the shed with Rusty. Rusty hoped that Sinopa would be alright. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:14 PM Sinopa could likely handle herself once she got used to things in the junk yard. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:15 PM Hunter made sure to keep an eye on her and explain some basic things here and there about the layout of the junkyard, etc. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:18 PM "Is there anywhere I should be careful of, like dangerous spots?" spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:19 PM "Oh, sure." Hunter said. He used his paw to draw a basic layount of the junkyard and pointed out various bad spots to her. "In fact, one of them is real close by, and I can show ya, if ya want." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:20 PM "Um, okay." Sinopa gulped. Raven jumped up and down. "Ooo, is it the one with the craney see-saw?" spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:23 PM "It's not really a see-saw, birdbrain. And yes." Hunter replied. "Raven, you can't come with us; you have ot stay here and keep watch while I show her to it." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:27 PM Raven whined and flopped down on his belly. Sinopa started to giggle, which only made him whine more. :lol: spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:29 PM "Don't encourage him." Hunter said with a sigh. "C'mon, Sinopa... you gotta nickname? Or is it just Sinopa?" Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:30 PM "Just Sinopa. I'm so blessed for no nicknames, aren't I." She rolled her eyes and followed behind. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:32 PM Hunster snorted and lead her to an old, rusty crane. "Now, don't be like Raven and talk about climbin' all over it, because it's old and dangerous." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 08:54 PM "I value my one life, I'm aware that I'm not a cat." She snorted. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 08:56 PM Hunter nodded, then turned to head back to where Raven was. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:00 PM Raven was sniffing around; he could smell something and wasn't sure what it was. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:01 PM "What is it?" Hunter asked quietly. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:04 PM "I think a human peed here again." -_- Sinopa gave a sniff and pulled her lips back from her teeth. "Yeah, that's human." spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:08 PM "Great." Hunter said, rolling his eyes. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:09 PM "At least most of it is outside the fence it seems." spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:11 PM "Yuck. I hate those idiots." Hunter said. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:20 PM "Electric fence sound good?" spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:24 PM Hunter laughed. "If only!" Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:25 PM "Would probably stop humans p*ssing on it." Raven had started to head down the fence to continue patrolling. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:28 PM "And, if not, then the ones who frequently do would be no more." Hunter said. Hunter said as he followed after Raven. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:38 PM "Exactly." Sinopa sniffed the air a little. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:41 PM Hunter did the same. "That would save us a lot of problems." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 09:43 PM "I can imagine." She followed behind Raven. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:46 PM "So, welcome to the team." Hunter said, liftin his nose to the air on occassion to sniff for intruders. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:46 PM.

XD ~~~ "Thanks." She smiled. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 09:52 PM Hunter actually smiled back, which was a rarity for him. XD *later* Miranda_ 12-01-2009 09:58 PM Phelan eventually managed to limp back to the camp. He was in his human form, and he carried the food that he'd found and protected from the other renegade who he'd fought. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:15 PM The Eltos, meanwhile, was looking for Raoul Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:20 PM Raoul was having a bit of a hard time carrying the doe back, but had killed it fairly easily. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:23 PM When Raoul came back, the Eltos was there, waiting. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:26 PM He was surprised to see the Eltos waiting. He dropped the doe's neck and sat down. "Yes, sir?" spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:27 PM "How's your leg?" The Eltos asked. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:30 PM "It still hurts, but not as badly. I should be fit enough to go look for Sharama tomorrow, if you and the Antos will permit me." spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:32 PM "Good. We shall speak over it with Antos and have Takaia, not Rika, look over you to evaluate your leg; from this point on, Rika will no longer be allowed to check up on you and redress your wound." Eltos said. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:37 PM ".. What?" Raoul stared at the Eltos. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:40 PM The Eltos sighed. "Rika hasd the madness for you, and so letting her tend to you is not helping the situation, so i'v easigned another healer to look after your leg." Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:42 PM "So, what, I won't be allowed to talk to her at all until she gets over it?" Raoul was upset; first and foremost he considered Rika a good friend, and his 'madness' for her had started only recently. spirit_queen 12-01-2009 10:46 PM "No, you can talk to her, I just don't want her to have to look after you like she has, as it's forcing her to be around you and tending to you in this manner is only making things worse, I can tell." Eltos said. Silent_Wolf 12-01-2009 10:51 PM "Then I'm leaving tonight." He walked back over to the doe. "It's not that I doubt Taka's abilities in healing, but she hasn't been doing it for very long." Miranda_ 12-01-2009 10:53 PM The Antos walked up. "I need to address the whole pack," she said. "It's very important." Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 11:06 AM Raoul just nodded and grabbed the doe to continue dragging it to the pack. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 02:06 PM The Antos had discussed her worries with her mate, and they'd both decided that she should be the one to address the pack. This was a very real danger, after all. The Antos waited until everyone had finished eating, then barked sharply to call the pack to order. Once everyone had fallen silent, she began to speak. "We can not assume that the theft of our cubs is the last we'll see of the humans. I have a great worry that this is only the beginning of a terrible plan to destroy us and life as we know it. Therefore, we must make plans in case the worst happens. As you all know, beyond the forest is territory belonging to other packs, and we are not in a physical or mental state to fight for territory among healthy packs. Neither can we hope to hold the ground here; we stand no chance against the weapons the humans deploy against us. "So this is what I propose. Should the humans attack again, we will not waste time and blood trying to fight them, but instead we will retreat. Not thru the forest, but towards the city where they will not expect us to go. We will remain in a pack, so we will stand some chance of survival. But you must all remember that it is hostile territory out there, with renegade camps all over the place who are not going to be friendly towards us. In order to survive, we will have to adapt to their ways. When our pack is once again healed and healthy, then we can return to the wilds and establish a pack territory once more." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 07:18 PM The Eltos looked about him for any objections. "Should I help lead? I know the city a bit, as I've been there." Takaia said. the Eltos looked at The antos, to see what she thought. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 07:41 PM "If you like," she replied. "We will not leave here til they force our hand, tho we must be prepared for the worst." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 07:44 PM Takaia nodded. Rika cleared her throat. "Should I make some extra salve and make sure we have a few rolls of wrap put away for emergencies?" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 07:48 PM "Good idea. We should also try to store food." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 07:58 PM "It would be a good idea ot assemble small teasm to be in charge of these tasks; Rika, you will lead a team to assemble healing supplies." The Eltos said. Rika blushed and bowed her head "I will be honored to do so." The Eltos nodded and turned to the Antos. "Who should be in charge of finding and storing food?" Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 08:06 PM "I'll do it." Raoul stood up. "I've been tracking a herd of deer. They're not hard to miss once I get the scent." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 08:08 PM "Are you sure? Doing this would mean either a delay in finding sharama, or giving that role to someone else." Eltos said. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 08:08 PM "Good. I shall help to plan the route. If we are prepared, it won't be so bad. Takaia; are there any special preparations we should take for living in the city?" Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 08:10 PM "The deer herd tends to stay near the city, away from most of us and just far away from the city that the renegades won't go after them. Any of us could go after them." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 08:14 PM "Um, having clothes would be good; it's esier to roam around in biped form when in the city than in our normal form, especially in a large group, and the humans do not walk around without their inner and outer layers; often they wear a thir layer over their torso." Takaia said. "And, even in biped form, we should come in small-ish groups from different roads to avoid attracting attention to ourselves; avoid junkyards and fancy shops... and, uh... that's all I can think of." Miranda_ 12-02-2009 08:15 PM "We'll have to see about clothes once we get there. Raoul; if you could herd some deer to here, then we can deal with them after. You should really go after Sharama as soon as possible." Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 08:18 PM "I will." Raoul headed out of the clearing. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 08:38 PM The Antos sighed and lay down, her head on her paws. She hated the thought of leaving, but felt they had no choice if they were to survive. spirit_queen 12-02-2009 08:43 PM The meeting dis*****d, and Rika went to gather a few volunteers. The Eltos sat down beside his mate and gently nudged her with his nose affectionately; the Eltos and Antos weren't truly lovers, so much as friends and partners who were also mates. The Eltos in fact viewed the Antos as his close friend. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 08:46 PM She sighed again. "I just wish there was another way, but I fear what the humans have planned for our home." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 08:54 PM "I think you are right about the humans; they can't keep their greeda hands off of whatever they find; if it's not theirs or hasn't been conquered by them, then it doesn't belong in their little world." Eltos said. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 08:58 PM "And there's nothing we can do to stop them." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 09:02 PM "Exactly; so it's flee or die, and I do not want our pack to suffer simply because the thought of leaving is an uncomfortable one." Miranda_ 12-02-2009 09:15 PM "We have no defence against their guns." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 09:16 PM "Sometimes I wish we did, but that would mean abusing nature the way the humans do, which would not be right." The Eltos said. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 09:24 PM "No. We must do what is right." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 09:28 PM "Even if it pains us." eltos said. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:46 PM.

I would not suggest this if there was any other way." spirit_queen 12-02-2009 09:41 PM The Eltos nodded. *later* Miranda_ 12-02-2009 09:43 PM At the renegade camp, Phelan had found out that Sinopa had left to be a guard. He was angry, and considered her a traitor. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 09:44 PM Sinopa had a feeling he would react that way, and completely expected it - as well as the fact that even if he knew she'd only done it to get food to the camp, he'd still see her as one. Which was why she'd left as early as she had. She was currently patrolling one side of the yard with Rusty. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 09:51 PM Phelan forced himself to go out and look for food as normal, despite the fact that his injured leg was hurting a lot. Rusty wondered how Sinopa planned to get food to the cubs at the camp. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 09:52 PM One of the renegades went out after him. "Hey, you stay here and wait til that heals! I'll go out and look for food." She had her ways. XD ".. So, what do you guys do for fun around here then?" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 09:57 PM Phelan turned and snapped at him. "I'd rather be dead than rely on others to take care of me." "Not a lot. Play cards sometimes; if we sit in the shed, Everett will turn a blind eye to the fact that we're taking our human shapes." Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 09:59 PM "That's cool." Sinopa sat down to scratch behind an ear, visibly grimacing; she had an ear infection and it itched horribly. "If you go out there bleeding like that, you'll lead them back here and put us in danger!" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:02 PM "I'm not bleeding, idiot," snarled Phelan. Indeed, he wasn't; he'd managed to stop the bleeding ages ago. "But you will be unless you get the hell out of my way, now." "Plus, we can people watch," said Rusty. "You'd be surprised at how much happens round here, in the heart of the city." Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:07 PM The wolf snarled at Phel. "Stop bossing us around. Otherwise you'll regret it, and it won't be because of me." He walked back to the camp. "No kidding." She shook her fur a bit and continued walking. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:11 PM Phelan turned and leapt at the wolf, knocking him to the ground. Despite his bad leg, he still managed to pin him. "Don't you ever talk to me like that again. Unless you think you'd look good without a head." Despite the bad attitude, Phelan was still one of the strongest canines in the camp. The strongest tended to all stick together, and back each other up, mainly for the reason that there were rival camps who'd be only too happy to attack them if they didn't. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:12 PM The wolf growled up at him. "It's not me you should be afraid of! You think that renegade you sent packing isn't going to tell their friends about you?" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:25 PM "If I leave, then the other strongest leave. And then the other camps in the area will move in, kill all the cubs and destroy this place. Think she'd want that to happen?" Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:28 PM "I wasn't talking about Sinopa, I was talking about the one you fought with and got hurt fighting!" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:35 PM "Seeing as he was nearly dead, I somehow don't think he'll have the guts to try and fight me again. Now get lost and stop talking about what you don't understand." Phelan released the wolf and limped out of the camp. He didn't go far, cuz his leg pained him too much and he soon had to stop to rest. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:39 PM The wolf stood up once Phelan had gone and growled a bit. "Ass." Sinopa's ears twitched and she looked around. ".. did you hear that?" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:42 PM "I heard something; what it was, I don't know," said Rusty. "We should go and see what it was." Phelan changed to his human form so as to attract less attention, and sat down with his back against a wall. He felt that he couldn't show any weakness, even if that meant being nasty. He winced as he felt a fresh wave of pain from his leg. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:43 PM "After you." Sinopa sniffed the air. spirit_queen 12-02-2009 10:44 PM Meanwhile, Marius was making everything final so that they could claim the forest the very next day. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 10:49 PM Rusty went to the edge of the fence. Silent_Wolf 12-02-2009 10:58 PM There was just a little kid sitting there; she'd tripped and hurt her leg, but wasn't crying about it. She looked more annoyed than anything else. XD Sarah_K_O_M 12-02-2009 11:15 PM Aldo was mooching along. He'd found some stuff to help Sharama, like some wood with which he could possibly nail together a rough bed. She wouldn't have to sleep in it of course, but he didn't feel like making her feel bad about taking his bed. Miranda_ 12-02-2009 11:21 PM Phelan didn't notice Aldo at first, he was too focused on how much his bitten leg was hurting. Sarah_K_O_M 12-02-2009 11:30 PM Aldo gave him a friendly, non-painful tap in the side with his foot. "You alright there?" Miranda_ 12-02-2009 11:42 PM "Not really," Phelan replied. "I got into a fight. You should see the other guy." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 09:31 AM "What, he's even worse? Surprised you had it in you." Aldo said, leaning against the wall. "So, you need a hand?" he said conversationally. Miranda_ 12-03-2009 11:46 AM Phelan scowled. "You can't do anything." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 08:29 PM "How do you know? I'm pretty good at patching people up." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 08:31 PM "Prove it." Rusty growled at the kid to scare her away. Silent_Wolf 12-03-2009 08:36 PM The kid jumped up. "Jeez, sorry, doggy." She ran off down the street. Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 08:43 PM Aldo picked Phelan up bodily and set off with him. XD Miranda_ 12-03-2009 08:48 PM Phelan struggled. "Put me down right now or I'll bite you. I can walk!" Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 08:50 PM Aldo did so, carefully. "Come on then." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 08:54 PM Phelan limped after Aldo, scowling at him. "Don't ever do that again, unless you think you'll look good without a head." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 08:58 PM "Phelan, you need to relax. You can never take a joke, and this is me saying it." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:03 PM "There's nothing to laugh at, and no point in relaxing." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 09:06 PM "Yes, there is. If you keep acting the way you do no one will listen. People can only take so much." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:13 PM "I'm sick of people thinking I should have to consider their feelings. What about my feelings? No-one ever shows me any consideration." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 09:15 PM "Hey, just wait while I root around in my pocket. I'm pretty sure I have a small violin somewhere." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:21 PM Phelan scowled all the more. "Say that to all the people who whine at me." All times are GMT. The time now is 07:46 PM.

Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:25 PM "That's just typical of you really. You'd rather waste your time pretending to be a human." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 09:31 PM "Oh, that's nice. Want to insult me some more, or maybe you'd prefer if I fixed you up, you nasty little f*ck?" Aldo snapped. Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:37 PM "I haven't seen any proof that you even can do that," Phelan replied, sulkily. Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 09:46 PM "That's because you never pay attention." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 09:55 PM "You're not around enough for that. How much longer do I have to walk?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 10:03 PM "Not long, you sissy." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 10:12 PM "I was only asking, you obnoxious human impersonater," growled Phelan. "There's no need to be so rude; I was only asking. Next time, I'll just bite you." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 10:15 PM "That's what I'm talking about. I should leave you here with a busted, since you keep insulting me all the time for no bloody reason. Luckily, I'm not an a$$hole." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 10:18 PM "You're doing a good impression of one." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 10:32 PM "Someone has projection problems. Hey, we're here." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 10:38 PM "Finally," Phelan said, stopping and leaning against the wall. Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 10:42 PM Aldo pulled him inside the house. XD Miranda_ 12-03-2009 10:44 PM Phelan only went cuz Aldo had promised to fix his leg. Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 10:49 PM "Don't mind the pregnant chick." Aldo added. Miranda_ 12-03-2009 10:58 PM Sharama was there, and she was a bit frightened of Phelan. She shrank back against the wall. Phelan didn't even look at Sharama. He didn't want to even think about pregnancy, not after what had happened to Marea. Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 11:24 PM Aldo started fixing up Phelan. "You need new pants." Miranda_ 12-03-2009 11:33 PM Phelan looked sourly at Aldo. "They're only ripped on the leg. Anyway, I can't get any new ones yet." Sarah_K_O_M 12-03-2009 11:51 PM "Then wash them or you'll attract flies." Miranda_ 12-04-2009 12:00 AM "I'll do that when I get back." Sarah_K_O_M 12-04-2009 10:32 PM Aldo started to whistle. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 01:37 PM Phelan scowled in irritation. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 01:39 PM Meanwhile, the plans to get the vigilantes out of the woods was just about to be set in motion; Marius was in the middle of calling Janice to make sure all was set and ready to go, in fact. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 01:47 PM Aldo was being cheerful just to be annoying. XD Miranda_ 12-05-2009 01:48 PM In the forest, the Antos had finished the pack's own preparations for flight; supplies had been packed, along with herbs and wraps for injuries. Sentries had been posted to alert when the humans came. Janice replied with, "Yes, everything's set. I've primed James to set the firecrackers off at our agreed signal." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 01:51 PM The Eltos had helped wherever he could, and was proud of the work that had been accomplished by all. Marius smiled. "Good. Perfect; then let it begin." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 02:02 PM Phelan tried to ignore Aldo. He was just waiting for him to finish, then he was going to get out of there. Being inside a house made Phelan feel trapped. Janice led the way to the van. There weren't any guards this time, but there were still a large group of humans. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 02:04 PM "Cup of tea?" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 02:11 PM Ooc: I love tea. XD Taka?" The eltos asked. "Yes, sir?" Taka asked. "Find Raoul and go to the city; you two are to find Sharama; I know you wanted to help lead us, but your knowledge of the city is important in finding Sharama, and your healing skills will help to keep Raoul from overworking himself too much." The eltos said. "Yes, sir!" Taka said. She ran off to find Raoul and then drag him off to the city. XD Miranda_ 12-05-2009 02:12 PM Phelan glared. "You know I don't drink stuff like that." Janice drove to the forest. Everyone in the van had been primed on their role; some were to make sure that all the pack left and to shoot any who remained behind and attacked them; others were there to prepare for the bulldozers; yet others were there to begin felling the trees. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 02:54 PM James, the man in charge of the fireworks, awaited his signal. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 02:57 PM Janice waited til all were in place, then gave it; she merely called his phone, let it ring once then hung up. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:01 PM James checked the set-up of his firecrackers, fireworks and thee like, then lit them all in stages, starting off with one large firework and a whole bunch of firecrackers and smokebombs, then gradually built it up to larger things; the set up encircled the antire vigilante camp, and James was very precise in what he did. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:07 PM The immediate response from the pack was blind panic; the Antos desperately tried to keep everyone calm. She had not expected this, but still gave the order to run away towards the city. The people in charge of preparations put traps in the forest, in case of vigilantes fleeing back thru the forest. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:14 PM The eltos attempted to help the antos retain control; Antos was to lead, and he was to pick up the rear and make sure none were lost... hopefully. Some vigilantes, however, seemed desperate to find the humans and attack. James continued on, and reached the 'crescendo', as he called it, which was basically a nonstop firing of the loudest and brightest fireworks he could find. The sound sreverberated through the forest, and more than a few trees caught fire, but, to James, that mattered not; he'd done his job, and the fires were minimal in his opinion; the others could take care of the rest. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:24 PM "Follow me, all of you!" the Antos cried out in desperation. She knew that they would stand to lose some of their pack; the more hotheaded members were adamant on finding and attacking the humans and would not be deterred. With a heavy heart, she knew that she would have no choice but to lead the others to the city and leave those who disobeyed to their fate. She ran towards the city, with a good proportion of the pack following her. She winced as the noise hit her sensitive ears; one ear had been torn off, but she could still hear thru it, she was just missing the protective flap. The Antos ran past a tree, that was blazing with fire. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:33 PM The Eltos stayed a bit behind to make sure that all those who were willing left, tried to convince the others one last time, then prepared to leave himself. The humans in charge of eliminating the stubborn canines came in then, however, holding guns; the humans outnumbered those who remained, so there were more than a few humans who stood back. One of those who did saw th Eltos trying to run into the forest, smirked, and shot at him. the Eltos yelped with the sudden pain and collapsed; he'd been shot through the ribs and into the lungs. He knew he didn't have long, and didn't bother to fight it. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:35 PM The Antos checked herself; she ran back to where her mate had fallen. "No! I can't lose you!" she cried out. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:38 PM "It's- too late." The Eltos managed to choke out. "You- go, they -need- you." He coughed up some blood, managed to lift his head enough to lick her chin, then fell over to his side. His breathing, labored at first, gradually slowed, then stopped, and the Eltos' eyes went blank. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:40 PM "May you travel peacefully to Paradise," the Antos said, tears blurring her sight. She licked her mate for the last time, then turned and ran after the remainder of the pack, knowing that there was now nothing left for them here and that they must reach the city. All times are GMT.

Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:50 PM The Antos ran past her, to once again take the lead. "Rika! Fall back to the rear and make sure that no-one is left behind!" she called as she passed Rika. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:51 PM "Yes, ma'am!" Rika, running back to do as Antos asked. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:55 PM Antos didn't hear any pursuit, however she took no chances. She led the fleeing pack thru the stream so that their scent would be killed, upstream for a while, then out into a field. The grim city stood before them. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 03:56 PM Rika pulled up the rear, and when she saw the city, she shivered; the city sounded like a horrid place, but they had no choice Miranda_ 12-05-2009 03:58 PM The Antos risked a look behind them; there was no sign that the humans were following them. "We can rest here, for the moment. We will enter the city at dusk." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:05 PM Rika was glad for the break. Meanwhile, those who'd stayed behind were ruthlessly hunted down; a canines changed their minds and tried to flee inot the forest, but were ensnared by traps, some of them obviously meant for larger animals with thicker hides and bones. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:08 PM All that tried to fight the humans were mercilessly shot down. Soon, there were none left; the main pack had fled, and those who'd remained were either dead or dying. Janice was satisfied. She called Marius and told him that everything had gone as planned. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:10 PM "Good work, Janice; begin to clear the way for construction." Marius said, leaning back in his chair. "I would like you personally to oversee all that goes on; I trust you above all others to get the job done right." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:14 PM "Thank you, sir," Janice replied. "I will begin construction preparation immediately." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:15 PM "Perfect; check in with me in three hours." Marius said before hanging up. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:16 PM Janice put her phone away carefully, before instructing the humans to begin. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:19 PM A large group of them immediately began to chop down the trees and clear away the brush, while the others waited with large machinery to clear away anything and everything else. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:26 PM Janice supervised. She felt nothing but pride in her work. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:27 PM After hours of work, there was nothing but mud and a pile of chopped up treed and other foliage to be seen; the land was clear for construction. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:31 PM Janice instructed the workers to take the wood back to the city to be sold, and to erect the electric fencing around the site to ensure that no animals could enter. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:35 PM The men (and women) immediately got to work; some of them loaded the trees into trucks, and others got the supplies out for the electric fence. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:35 PM Janice watched with a satisfied smile on her face. Nothing would get in her way, now. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:37 PM Time passed, and eventually the fence was erected, and all the wood was gone; the construction workers began to pack up and go home, for it'd been a long day. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:40 PM The sun was setting, in the distance; clearly visible now there were no trees. Janice made her call to Marius before setting off back to base. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:43 PM Marius was glad that things had gone so well that day; he waited for Janice to return. "Antos? The sun is setting... you said dusk, right?" Rika asked as she came up to their only leader; Rika had been able to guess that the Eltos had fallen. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:47 PM The Antos had been sitting by herself, head bowed in misery. She raised her head as Rika came over. "Yes, we will enter the city now. All keep close together. We will have to find somewhere to hide away before we can try to blend in." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:50 PM "would you like me or another to scout ahead?" Rika asked. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 04:54 PM "Please do, and definitely take someone with you," said Antos. "Don't go too far ahead either; this is alien territory." The Antos had hoped that those who had stayed behind would have caught up to them, but there were none. It was obvious now that they all had perished. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 04:58 PM "Yes, ma'am." Rika said, nodding; she found another willing to go and then took off toward the city. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 05:27 PM Aldo finished fixing up Phelan. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 08:46 PM Waaaaay earlier, before the fireworks had even begun, Takaia had found Raoul and had begun to drag him to the city. "We gotta go find sharama, and I'm supposed to help you." Taka said for the millionth time as she headed through the tall grasses seperating the forest and the city. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 08:47 PM "I can handle it on my own. Besides, I need some time to think." Raoul sniffed the grass to try and pick up Sharama's scent. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 08:52 PM "But Raoul-" When Raoul and Taka were halfway to the city, there was a loud boom and a bunch of fizzling sounds that came form the forest. Taka jumped and squeaked, then turned quickly; her eyes went wide when she saw the fireworks and firecrackers going off. "What the hell is that?!" Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 08:56 PM Raoul stared behind them, then began to run-limp toward the city faster. "Just come on, you heard what they said!" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 08:59 PM Taka yiped and followed Raoul; part of her wanted to go back, but yet she knew that the Antos and Eltos had an escape route planned... but, still... Well, even as she fought within her mind, she still followed Raoul to the city. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:10 PM Raoul stopped on the outskirts of the city, looking up at it; this was the closest he'd ever gotten to it, even when he'd gone after one of the other pack members. ".. Where are we supposed to go?" He felt uneasy. "I mean, we can't really walk around in our biped forms, we don't wear human clothes." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:11 PM "I hid my clothes somewhere before I left the city last; lemme go find them... after that, um... maybe you can pretend to be my pet, or something." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:21 PM He gave her a weirded-out look. "No. I need a collar for that and I am not going to wear one." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:23 PM "Um... then we'll have ot find you clothes... maybe if I find that Sinopa girl..." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:26 PM ".. What about that other renegade? Maybe he could help if he knew what happened to us. Even renegades could sympathize with that." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:27 PM "You mean the grumpy one, Phel?" Takaia asked. "Maybe... I'd have to go find my clothes and leave you here, though, and then find him on my own." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:28 PM "Or you can go get your clothes and take me there. I don't want to stay alone out here." He looked around nervously. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:29 PM "Um, okay... I'll be right back." Takaia said. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 09:29 PM As soon as Aldo had fixed him up, Phelan muttered a thank you and left as soon as he could. He could feel the difference right away; his leg still hurt a bit, but nowhere near as much as before now it was clean and bandaged. He began to make his way back to camp. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:47 PM.

She came back out and tried to shake some of the dirt off her. "I forgot how weird these pants feel." she muttered to herself as she began to walk back for Raoul in biped form. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:33 PM Raoul smelled her before he saw her and stood up, though it was painful to do so. "Let's go, before somebody sees us." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:35 PM Takaia nodded. "Follow me; I know where Phel probably is." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:36 PM "Lead the way then." Raoul followed her. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 09:36 PM That was a good idea; the place where Raoul and Takaia were was the territory of a renegade group who resided within the derelict house. O.o spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:40 PM Taka hadn't realized that when she'd hidden her clothes, though. XD She began to head for where Phel's renegade group camped, hoping Phel would be there. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:42 PM Raoul followed behind her, trying to stay close; he felt extremely scared in the city, which was unusual for him. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:44 PM Takaia made Raoul wait when they came to a light; she didn't want Raoul to get hit like she'd almost been that first day; the cars didn't stop, and in fact a lot of them were going to fast for this road. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:45 PM "Those things smell really bad." He pawed at his nose. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:46 PM "They're the ickiest yuckiest things in the city." Taka said in agreement, wrinkling her nose with distate. Finally, the light changed. "See that white glowing person-thing? That means we can cross." Taka said, pointing out the 'person' in question. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:47 PM "Okay. After you. I don't know where you're leading me." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:48 PM taka nodded and walked ahead. when she reached the other side of the street, she lifted her nose and sniffed lightly, then crossed into a back street. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 09:49 PM Raoul had to run a bit to keep up with her; his wounded legs may have been healing well, but they were still sore. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:54 PM "We're almost there." Takaia whispered to him. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 09:54 PM Phelan was nearby; he sniffed the air, suspiciously. Even in human form, he could smell vigilantes very near. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 09:56 PM Taka, upon entering the renegade camp site, lierally walked right into Phel and fell bakward. XD ".....oww..." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:01 PM He shoved her, roughly. "Watch where you're going. Then again, you always thought you could just treat this place like your own personal playground." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 10:03 PM Raoul started growling at Phel. "Back off. She didn't see you." Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:03 PM Aldo was there too. He sighed. "Phelan, give it a rest." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:04 PM "But- but I need help." Taka said desperately, looking up at Phel. "Our home- the humans- they- they took it from us! First they came in a stole our cubs, then they used their inventions to steal and ruin our lands! I have nowhere else to go." her voice broke with sudden emotion on that last part, as she realized it was all true. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:06 PM Aldo guided her and Raoul over to a seat. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:09 PM Phelan reconsidered his first plan, which had been to chase the vigilante interloper out of the camp. Unwittingly, Takaia had touched on the one thing that would change his mind; the theft of the cubs. Having lost his own cub, and fought fiercely to try and feed the few cubs born to the camp, Phelan was filled with rage at the idea of the humans not only stealing away the cubs of the vigilantes, but also coming back to kill and drive them out of their own home. "Alright," he said, gruffly. "You can stay. But you have to earn your keep, by getting food for the cubs and making sure that you don't stand out. Same goes for anyone else who might be with you." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:10 PM Takaia nodded. "I promise, and I'm sure that everyone else will." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:13 PM "How many are you to come, then?" Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 10:13 PM ".. I don't know how many of us are left now, but I'm sure the ones who are left will be more than willing to help. But I won't be able to help very much at first, I'm supposed to look for somebody." He snuffled and put his head on the ground; he finally couldn't stand up anymore because his legs hurt so bad. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:15 PM "Um, I'm not sure how many we may have lost... Raoul and I left to find someone before the attack began." Taka said. "Speaking of which, have you seen..." taka then began to describe Sharama. XD ((I'm just lazy) Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:18 PM "You mean Sharama? I know her." Aldo said. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:18 PM "You'd better stay with the cubs, in that case," Phelan said to Raoul. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:21 PM "You do?" Taka gasped. "where is she? She ran off when the cubs were stolen." Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:22 PM "She's at my house, recovering. I found her and patched her up." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 10:22 PM "..." Raoul sighed. "I don't know if I can handle that. I like to be able to run around with the cubs and I can't do that much right now. Thanks for giving me a job though." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:23 PM "Will you take me to her? Pleeeeaase?" Taka begged. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:24 PM "They mainly like stories rather than that," Phelan said. "And someone to keep them warm." Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:25 PM Aldo nodded. "Sure. It'd probably help her too. She's been upset about you lot." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:26 PM "Can I go now?" Taka asked. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 10:26 PM "I can do that." Raoul managed to stand up. "Do you have any clothes? I don't want to ask but if I'm going to be biped at all I'll need them. It's cold up here." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:37 PM "We've got some spares in one of the tents," said Phelan. "But we need to go and collect some more from the homeless shelter." He showed Raoul where the spare clothes were and left him to it. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:38 PM Aldo nodded to Taka. "Sure. I'm Aldo by the way. I never introduced myself last time." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:40 PM "Um, Taka." Taka said, motioning to herself. "So, where is Sharama staying?" All times are GMT. The time now is 07:47 PM.

I live away from here. I like the peace." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 10:43 PM "Thanks." Raoul changed to his human form when Phelan had left and retyed the wrappings, grimacing a bit; he'd have to change them later. He started looking through the piles, finding the basic underwear (blue boxers, XD) and socks (orange?) and having some minor problems finding other clothes. However, he found a pair of dark purple, sort of gothic boots that would fit his feet and figured out how to pull them on and buckle them. ".. Awesome." He grabbed a pair of red sweatpants - not really aware of how clashy they would be - and couldn't find a shirt that would fit him; he was rather wide in the shoulders. ".." He found a jacket and pulled it on, zipping it up and becoming rather amused with the zipper. XD "... well, that's different." He limped out of the tent, suddenly becoming aware of just how ridiculous he looked. However, he didn't care. He was actually warm for once. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:43 PM "House? You have one of those?" Taka asked. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:45 PM "Well, it's a shack really. But house sounds better." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:47 PM "Oh. I've never been in one." Takaia said. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:48 PM "Well, you'll be in mine. It's nice." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:49 PM "Are we almost there?" Taka asked. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:51 PM "Not yet. Want to take a shortcut?" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:52 PM "Sure, so long as you lead me back to the campgrounds." Taka said. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:53 PM Aldo started ducking and dodging into and between alleyways. He was a fast bugger. Miranda_ 12-05-2009 10:55 PM Phelan stifled a snicker when he saw Raoul, but didn't comment. He merely indicated where the cubs were. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:56 PM Taka did her best to keep up with him, and was considering asking him to slow down. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:57 PM Aldo finally did once they go to the richy section. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 10:57 PM Takaia sighed in relief. xD Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 10:58 PM "Try not to draw attention to yourself here." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:00 PM "Um, okay." Taka said as she followed Aldo. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:00 PM "It's a rich area. Pets and such." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:02 PM Raoul just nodded and headed over; he felt a little awkward. "Um, hi. I heard you kids like stories?" He smiled. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:02 PM Takaia winced at the mention of pets. "I wouldn't want to be a pet." Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:05 PM "No one sensible does." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 11:06 PM One of the cubs, a female grey fox cub named Tokala, came over at once. "I like stories. Do you know any new ones?" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:06 PM "And- and those poor, poor stolent cubs... forced to be sold as pets..." The very thought made Taka's eyes water, and she wiped them. "I'm sorry, it's just- just- so terrible." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:08 PM ".. Well, I know ones from where I'm from." Raoul gingerly sat down. "What sort would you like to hear?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:08 PM Aldo patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Taka. Nothing lasts for ever, even this." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:09 PM "I- I hope so. Do you know what we call being a pet or a guard? Slavery." Taka said. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:10 PM "I call pets slaves and guards monsters." Miranda_ 12-05-2009 11:10 PM "Any that are new," Tokala said, curling up next to Raoul. Kasa was inside her house at that moment, but there were a few other pampered pets out in their gardens, either staring curiously at Taka and Aldo, or watching with lazy indifference. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:13 PM "Why monsters?" Taka asked. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:15 PM ".. Well, here's one." He started to tell the story of a prince who went overseas to defeat a monstrous creature. Basically, it's the Vigilante version of Beowulf. :lol: Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:15 PM "Guards are the ones that help steal cubs and attack other canines." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:17 PM Takaia shivered. "but do they have a choice?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:19 PM "If every guard said no and fought back then there isn't a thing any human could do about it. But they're too weak, too dependant. A guard is more obsessed with getting empty love from it's master than doing the right thing or being free." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:22 PM Takaia looked sad. Meanwhile, Rika had reached the city; she was afraid, but she knew that the only way she could help the pack find a place to say was to go in... she did, and when she did, she caught a whiff of something. Takaia? Raoul? Suddenly hopeful, Rika followed the scent carefully, hoping she'd find her friends. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:24 PM Aldo shrugged and kept walking. "We'll be there soon." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:28 PM "Okay." Taka said. Soon enough, after almost getting hit by several cars, a very freaked out Rika stumbled upon the renegade camp where Raoul was. She followed the scent to the cubs' tent. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:31 PM Raoul was in the midst of telling the cubs about a hero when he picked up her scent and stopped mid-word. ".. Rika?" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:34 PM "Raoul?" Rika called. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:35 PM "One minute, kids." He picked up a cub that was sitting on his good leg and climbed out fo the tent. "Rika!" Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:35 PM They reached Aldo's shack/house. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:36 PM Taka waited for Aldo to open the door. "Raoul!" Rika cried. She was in her vulpine form, which was black with a grey tipped tail and grey underside. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:47 PM.

He invited Taka in. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:38 PM "You're alive!" He knelt so he could hug her. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:39 PM Taka followed and looked around curiously. "It's so weird! Like a big box!" XDD Rika lightly licked his chin and snuggled in to him. "I'm so glad you're alright!" Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:41 PM "I'm glad you're okay too." He wrapped his arms around her. "When Taka and me heard the fireworks I got really scared. I wanted to run back but I knew the Antos and Eltos would get upset with me." Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:41 PM "That's what houses are. Big boxes with stuff in them." spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:42 PM "Raoul? E-Eltos is d-dead." Rika chocked out. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:47 PM "..Oh god." Raoul looked upset. spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:48 PM "H- he stayed a bit behind to make sure th-that everyone who wa-anted to leave made it." Rika said with a sniffle. "He was shot by a gun in the l-lung." Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:51 PM "..A-at least he's at peace." Raoul rubbed his eyes on his sleeve and hugged her closer, shutting his eyes. "Are you alright?" spirit_queen 12-05-2009 11:52 PM "I'm fine, but I'm concerned for the Antos." Rika replied. Silent_Wolf 12-05-2009 11:54 PM "She didn't get shot, did she?" Miranda_ 12-05-2009 11:54 PM Sharama came timidly out when she heard Aldo's and Takaia's voices. Sarah_K_O_M 12-05-2009 11:58 PM "Hey, Shar, this one of yours?" Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:02 AM "Takaia!" Sharama exclaimed, and held her hands out. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:03 AM "SHAAAR!" Takaia ran to Sharama and embraced her. "No, but she's taking Eltos' death hard." Rika said. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:09 AM Sharama hugged Takaia for a while before releasing her. "They killed Fan; they must have done. I had to run away so as to save my cub." Sarah_K_O_M 12-06-2009 12:11 AM Aldo went to make everyone tea. XD Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 12:11 AM ".. Do you think she had the madness for him?" Raoul let go of Rika to rest his bad arm. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:13 AM "Not sure, but, even if she dind't, they were very close friends and aprtners." Rika said. "She is dead; I saw her myself. Poor, poor Fan." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 12:13 AM "Yeah. I can't imagine what it feels like." He fell silent. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:14 AM "...you have clothes on. I just noticed." Rika said. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:15 AM Sharama sighed. "I wonder who else died." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:16 AM "Are you sure you want to know?" Taka asked. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 12:17 AM "It's cold up here. There's clothes in the tent over there." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:22 AM "I'd rather know, rather than imagining things." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:24 AM "Um... okay..." Rika said. She ran into the tent... After a bit, she returned wearing a black off-the-shoulder top (think Princess Jasmine), and the neckline was trimmed with green ribbon. She had some denim capris on with a green corded belt, and some green sandals on. "Is this acceptable?" she asked. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 12:25 AM Judging from Raoul's stunned stare, he liked it. XD spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:28 AM Rika blushed. "Um, Raoul? you in there?" Taka told Shar all she knew. "And we've got more now, because we've been chased out of the forest entirely." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:30 AM Sharama looked devastated. "That's terrible." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 12:32 AM "Y-Yeah. You look really pretty." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:33 AM "It's devastating; we're down so low, that we couldn't risk running deeper into the forest or to other packs; we came here, to the brink of the city." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 12:50 AM "So the pack is split," Sharama said, soberly. "Wonder if it will ever be complete again?" spirit_queen 12-06-2009 12:52 AM "I'm not sure." Taka said with a sigh. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 01:18 AM "Even if it is, the humans won't leave us in peace." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 01:19 AM "I don't think they're capable of it." Taka said. "So, how's the kid doing?" She asked, referring to the unborn cub. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 01:36 AM "Wonderful," Sharama replied. "I think it's getting near to its time to be born." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 01:38 AM Raoul got his sense back and managed to stammer, "D-Do you want to help me tell stories to the cubs they have here? All I have are the ones about heroes and fighters." Sarah_K_O_M 12-06-2009 01:39 AM Aldo came back with tea. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 01:41 AM "Great! I want to be here when that time comes." Taka said. Se turned to Aldo. "What's that brown stuff?" Rika chuckled. "Sure; I'll even sing to them; but, after that, I should report back to Antos..." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 01:47 AM "Yeah. Do you want me to go with you?" He opened a flap on the tent. "Taka went with a renegade; he found Sharama and healed her." All times are GMT. The time now is 07:48 PM.

Oh, thank the gods!" Rika said as she crawled into the tent. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 01:50 AM "I guess she's okay." Raoul sat down. "Cubs, this is my good friend Rika. She knows more stories than I do and she tells them better." He smiled. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 01:56 AM "I also sing." Rika said, smiling brilliantly at them all. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 01:57 AM One of the cubs started jumping. "I like it when people sing!" spirit_queen 12-06-2009 01:58 AM "Great! What kind of song would you like?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 02:01 AM The cub stopped hopping. XD "Um..." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 02:04 AM "That's called 'tea'," Sharama said to Takaia. "It's nice. I'd like to be with the pack again, but Aldo has been very kind to me." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 02:09 AM "Do you want fast and fun, calm and sleepy, or a love song?" Rika asked. Taka took the cup and sniffed at it, then said "I think you sould stay here, if Aldo's okay with that; it's warmer here, and the cub has a better chance of survival. But I and a few other will certainly come visit." she took a cautious sip of the tea. "Hey, this is kinda good, in a weird sorta bitter way." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 02:15 AM "Fun one! Please, lady?" Miranda_ 12-06-2009 02:16 AM "I think so, too," said Sharama. "I only want what's best for the cub." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 02:16 AM Rika giggled. "Absolutely!" Rika began to sing a vigilante version of 'Mighty King'. XD Ooc: kids love that one because it involves jumping up and down. XD Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 02:41 AM XD The cubs definitely enjoyed the song; a couple were tired out when the song was over. :lol: spirit_queen 12-06-2009 02:41 AM "Would you like another?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 02:42 AM The cub nodded, then yawned. "I think they'll want a sleepy song now." Raoul smiled. Sarah_K_O_M 12-06-2009 02:45 AM "Sharama can stay if she wants. I wouldn't throw out a pregnant lady or one with a kid." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 02:45 AM Sharama smiled shyly. "Thank you." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 02:50 AM "That's very kind of you." Taka said. Rika sang a gentle lullaby for the cubs then, and let them curl up against Raoul, but not herself, as she'd ventually have to leave. Sarah_K_O_M 12-06-2009 02:51 AM Aldo shrugged. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 02:54 AM ".. Rika, are you sure you want to go back alone?" He was whispering. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 02:56 AM "Um, I think I should be fine..." Rika said, though she didn't sound very sure. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 03:03 AM "I'll go with you." He eased the sleeping cubs away so he could stand up. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 03:04 AM "Are you sure?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 03:06 AM "I'm sure." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 03:06 AM Rika smiled. "Thank you, Raoul." She said, stepping out of the tent. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 03:15 AM "It's no trouble at all." He stepped out as well. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 03:17 AM "Um... I came from that way." Rika said, pointing before slowly starting to head off. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 03:18 AM "One second, need to let the one guy know that the cubs are asleep." He looked around for Phel, spotted him, and walked over. "The cubs are asleep. I need to leave for a little bit." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 04:34 PM "Just make sure you leave the camp in silence," Phelan said. "Don't attract attention to yourself. The cubs' lives depend on it." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 07:48 PM Raoul nodded. "I wouldn't risk them like that." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 07:56 PM "Good. I'm glad we understand each other." Phelan called over a girl to watch the cubs. He still didn't feel as tho he could bear to be near cubs, at least for the moment. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 08:02 PM "Yeah." Raoul rubbed the back of his head and followed Rika. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 08:10 PM As they got closer to where the rest of the pack was, they would hear a mournful howl that echoed eerily into the night. Antos was mourning the death of her long time mate and partner, Eltos. There would be no replacing of the Eltos either, not until she herself was in her grave, and this wasn't going to be for a long time. Antos was determined to live, for Eltos and for all those who had died. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 08:18 PM The howl sent an uneasy shiver down Raoul's spine. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 08:25 PM Antos hoped that nothing untoward had happened to Rika. She'd been gone a while, after all. She felt uneasy about where they were; it didn't smell right and she feared attack by hostile renegades. The pack was in no fit state to fight; there was hardly a single member who hadn't been injured. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 08:36 PM Raoul changed back to his vulpine form and, ignoring the wrappings as they began to fall off his legs, walked toward the pack. "Antos!" Miranda_ 12-06-2009 08:52 PM "Raoul! And, Rika. Where's Takaia, is she alright as well?" Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 08:54 PM "She's fine. There was a renegade at the camp who found Sharama; and I know he did, her scent was on him a bit. She's safe, I can tell." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 09:03 PM "Is her cub alright? Is she safe til she has the cub? I worry about her a lot." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 09:08 PM "Yes, and yes. She's fine." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 09:17 PM "Well, that's one less thing to worry about." The Antos however looked far from relaxed. "We need to find somewhere else to stay. This place doesn't smell right." All times are GMT. The time now is 07:48 PM.

He said we can stay as long as we don't risk the camp's safety and work for our stay." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 09:26 PM "I'd have to speak to him myself first," replied Antos. "But I'd agree to those terms. We are not in a fit state to establish a group by ourselves; everyone is injured, some worse than others." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 09:31 PM "Alright. Just warning you though, he can be fairly quick to anger." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 09:51 PM The Antos wearily said, "I won't be trying to anger anyone. Merely asking if we can stay til we're well enough to establish our own settlement." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 09:52 PM "We can go back now or later tonight, or tomorrow. It's up to you. But I smell more renegades around here than I'd like." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 09:58 PM "I think tonight would be the best thing. I don't like this place one bit." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:04 PM "Let's go then. We'll need to stick to the alleyways." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 10:07 PM "You can go and rouse the others; then come back to show me which way to take them." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:13 PM Raoul nodded and went to wake the pack. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 10:17 PM Eventually, they were on their way. Antos was on edge the whole time; not only renegades could be smelt, but also humans. Phelan had gone to the homeless clothes place to get a load of clothes ready for the vigilante pack when they arrived, so that they wouldn't attract attention. Other renegades in the camp were constructing tents. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:20 PM Raoul led them through the city with Rika. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 10:25 PM Phelan directed some of the renegades to look after the newcomers, to make them less conspicious. He was hoping that most of them wouldn't be too badly injured, and would be able to bring in food. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:30 PM Once they had arrived, Raoul went to check on the cubs. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 10:39 PM Antos went to talk to Phelan. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:41 PM Elsewhere, Sinopa was playing Blackjack with Rusty. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 10:57 PM Rusty won the game. xD Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 10:59 PM "No fair." She stuck her tongue out at him. Miranda_ 12-06-2009 11:03 PM "It's perfectly fair; I'm obviously just lucky." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 11:08 PM "I bet I'll win at poker!" Miranda_ 12-06-2009 11:12 PM "Who says we'll play it? It'll be time for food in a minute, anyway." Rusty stretched. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 11:14 PM "I'd beat you at it." She stuck her tongue out at him again and cracked her knuckles. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 11:34 PM Rika tried to help those in the renegade group working as healers of a sort; she'd gone to get her salve and wrap, and helped to redress wounds. "Now, where did Raoul go? I need to tend to his darn leg..." Miranda_ 12-06-2009 11:37 PM "Doubt that very much," Rusty replied. "I've had lots of practice." Phelan directed those from the vigilante pack towards the clothes he'd brought from the homeless clothing place. Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 11:38 PM Raoul was sitting alone on the outskirts of the camp; he was ignoring the pain in his arm and leg. "And so have I." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 11:39 PM Rika followed her nose and found Raoul. "Raoul? I need to change the wrap on your leg, and apply some more salve." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 11:43 PM Raoul just nodded, gritting his teeth; he wasn't sure why his leg was hurting so bad today. The running and walking likely didn't help. spirit_queen 12-06-2009 11:46 PM Rika took off his leg bandage and gasped. "Oh, Raoul!" She said. "I- I'm gonna need to tell you- no command you- to rest all day tomorrow; no more running around, as it's making your arm and leg worse." Silent_Wolf 12-06-2009 11:48 PM Raoul sighed. "Yes, ma'am." spirit_queen 12-06-2009 11:50 PM "I'm sorry, Raoul, but I want you to heal, and if I don't command you to rest, then you're likely to run off and push your limits again." Rika said gently. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:02 AM Antos had already changed to her human form; she was wearing a pair of black trousers and a jumper, with black shoes. She had long chestnut brown hair and brown eyes, and had pulled her hair loose to cover her missing ear. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:06 AM After a while at Aldo's place, Takaia had returned. "anos, you're in clothing... it's kinda weird to see you like that." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:22 AM "It feels weird," Antos replied. "But we can't attract attention while we're staying here. There are cubs to think of." She sighed, heavily, thinking of the cubs that they'd lost to the humans. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:26 AM "Yeah... Um, Sharama should be due this week, or something; I'm very excited for that." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:41 AM "I expect she'll stay where she is; it would be best for the cub." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:44 AM "Yeah; it's warm, and she has a bead, and Aldo gives out this wonderful drink called tea." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:56 AM "I don't know how long we'll be staying in the city, so it's for the best." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:57 AM Taka sighed. "Yeah... so, you spoke to Phel? What'd he say?" Miranda_ 12-07-2009 01:10 AM "He said that if we were going to stay here, we had to wear clothes and help to find food for the cubs. We also need to find food for ourselves, cuz otherwise it'll just be a huge strain for everyone else in the camp." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 01:11 AM "Okay." Taka said. She leaned in. "I personally think he's a lot nicer than he pretends to be." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 01:20 AM "I don't see it. He just seems to be really blunt and impolite." All times are GMT. The time now is 07:48 PM.

Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 01:30 AM Antos thought for a moment, back to when she'd had the talk with Phelan, and nodded. "Yes; I would think that there's some past tragedy that he's covering up." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 01:34 AM "A girl was pregnant with his kid, and she miscarried." Taka said sadly. "I heard it from the girl, not from him." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 01:38 AM "He probably doesn't like to talk about it." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 01:42 AM "I don't blame him; it's a horrible thing for anyone to go through." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 01:53 AM "I expect that's why he acts the way he does; to cover up his feelings." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 01:54 AM Taka sighed. "Yeah... that, and he's probably one of those guys who considers any sort of real emotion a weakness." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 02:06 AM "In any case, he's letting us stay, and I agreed to the conditions." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 02:16 AM "Well, that's good." Taka said. "I think I'll go out and try to find some food; I'm one of the few who got away with somewhat minor injuries, so I'd better do all that I can." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 02:22 AM "I will, too. I lost an ear; that's nothing compared to what some of the other pack members suffered." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 02:23 AM "I just had a gash in my leg, but it's more or less healed, and I have a few scratches." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 02:28 AM "Time is all it will take, and we need time to recover emotionally, too," said Altos. "I will go and look for food in the park; you can go in the other direction." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 02:29 AM "Alright; good luck." Taka said befor goign off. She walked for a little while, then paused... she had no idea how to go about finding food in the city. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 02:31 AM Phelan walked out the camp, a little way away from Takaia. He was going to go and look for food. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 02:35 AM Taka saw him, and jogged up to him. "Phel?" She asked. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:17 AM Raoul just nodded. "I'll just stay here and keep an eye on the cubs then until my leg heals. My arm's fine, that's just broken, not infected." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:25 AM Rika hugged him. "Thank you." She said. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:39 AM He hugged her back with his good arm. "Thanks, Rika." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:42 AM "You're very, very welcome, Raoul." Rika replied. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 11:52 AM Phelan turned to face Takaia. "What do you want?" spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:56 AM "I... um... this is embarassing, but I don't know what to do to look for food in the city." Taka said, her face flushing with her embarassment. she didnt even look him in the eye, afraid he'd judge her fr not knowing anything bout how to get food in the city. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:01 PM "You've changed your tune from last time," Phelan said. "You even got Sinopa mad at me for daring to say that your suggestion wasn't all that valuable." Phelan had noticed obviously that Sinopa had left; however, he was angry at her for joining the enemy side and becoming a guard. "You could come with me now, and I'll show you how to find food here," he said. "Just don't act as tho you know better, cuz trust me; you don't. I grew up in the city, you didn't." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:04 PM "That's why I'm asking you." Taka said, shoving her hand into the pockets of her jeans. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:10 PM "So, come on, then," he said. "It's easier if you scout as a canine; plus easier to run away if need be." He changed into his black wolf shape. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 12:11 PM Taka changed into her cream-and-chocolate hunting dog shape and followed him. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 12:45 PM Phelan led her to some dumpsters outside a steak house. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:15 PM Taka sniffed the air and her mouth immediately began to water form the scent of the steaks inside. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 07:26 PM "You wouldn't believe how much food humans throw away," said Phelan. "Fresh, too; these bins are emptied every other day. We can change shape now; I've got some bags in my jacket pocket." He changed into his human shape and took a couple of plastic bags out of his pocket. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:30 PM Taka followed his example. "You mean they throw food to waste? Reeally? And leave it in these bins?" Miranda_ 12-07-2009 07:36 PM "That's right. They just throw good food away, sometimes entire steaks." He handed her a bag. "Fill it up, and we'll get out of here before anyone else gets here. We're the first." Phelan opened the nearest dumpster and started to fill his bag with discarded steaks. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:39 PM Taka did the same, though she paused when she picked up a fry. "What's this thing? It smells good." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 07:40 PM "Potato. They cut them up, then cook them in oil. They're alright, I guess. I prefer the meat, tho. Better for the cubs, too." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:43 PM "Well, food's food; better some potatoe than no food at all." Taka began to stuff some of the potatoes into the bag. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 07:50 PM "That's just it. There's plenty of steak here; we're first. No point taking that potato rubbish. I only do that if I get to here on a day where others have been here before me." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:53 PM "If I run outta room in my bag, then I have some wrap with me to tie up into a bag of sorts; I want to get every scrap I can, because now the cubs aren't the only ones in need of the protein; those who are healing from severe wounds need it, too." Taka said as she rummaged for anything edible she could find. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 07:55 PM Phelan shrugged. "Suit yourself. Just don't come crying to me when you get hungry from eating that stuff. It doesn't fill you up like meat does." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 07:56 PM Taka ignored him and dug deeper into the bin to the point where, if the bin wasn't in the way, she could probably touch her toes. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:06 PM "You said you wanted my help; when I try, you just throw it back in my face. Don't bother ever asking me again, and you can find your own way back to camp. If you get there without being attacked, then you'll be lucky." Phelan tied up his bag, and slung it over his shoulder to begin the short journey back to the camp. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:13 PM Taka scowled. "What did I do now? All I said was that the more food we get the better, and you're acting like I insulted you." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:18 PM "I told you not to bother with the potato fries, cuz they're not as good as meat and you ignored me. If you think you know it all, then you can bloody well do it all yourself and get torn to shreds by some renegade who'll take everything off you. You don't want my help, after all, so why should I bother?" All times are GMT. The time now is 07:48 PM.

Taka saidm sounding sulky as she took out the fries and tossed them back into the bin. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:28 PM "I'm only trying to help, and you asked for my help, remember? They also give the cubs stomach trouble if they eat them," Phelan said, trying to keep his temper. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:30 PM "Okay." Taka said, sounding defeated. "Let's just go then, please; my bag is about full, anyways." Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:38 PM "Follow me, then," Phelan said, heading down an alleyway. They had to take a more roundabout route to get to the camp, laden as they were. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:39 PM Taka followed him, feeling a bit overwhelmed; she still dind't have all the streets and backstreet systems down, and so she knew she'd be hopelessly lost without a guide like Phel. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:45 PM Soon, they were back at the camp. Phelan went to feed the cubs first, before taking food for himself. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:47 PM Taka actually thnked Phel for showing her back, then went to give out food to the cubs and then the sick. In fact, before she even realized it, she'd given it all away, and had none left for herself. O.o Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:49 PM Phelan made sure he had plenty left for himself; he reasoned that if he starved, it wouldn't help anyone. He didn't notice that Takaia had given all her food away. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:52 PM Taka grumbled to herself, then sighed and sat down pretzel-style and rested her head in her hands, ignoring the fact that her stomach was grumbling. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 08:56 PM Phelan noticed that Takaia didn't have anything. He threw a steak over to her, daring her to make a big deal out of it and went back to eating. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 08:59 PM Taka looked absolutely stunned. she looked over at Phel, eyes still wide, but then managed a tentative smiled and mouth 'thanks' before eating the piece he'd given her. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 09:02 PM Phelan said nothing, but then that would have been out of character. xD *later* Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:09 PM Raoul was telling the kids more stories. Though now he was having to make them up. XD spirit_queen 12-07-2009 09:24 PM Rika had just finished redressing a wolf's wounds. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:39 PM Eventually, the cubs dropped off to sleep, and Raoul crept out of the tent. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 09:41 PM "They asleep at last, then, Raoul?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:43 PM "Yeah. They're really hyper." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 09:45 PM Rika giggled. "They're kids, of course they're hyper!" Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:47 PM "I don't even remember being like that." He laughed. "I'm gonna go sit down for a little bit. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 09:49 PM "Mind if I join?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:50 PM "Sure." He smiled. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 09:51 PM Rika came up beside him. Meanwhile, Taka had volunteered to go with another to pick up the food Sinopa wouuld leave out... though Taka dind't know it was Sinopa. XD Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 09:59 PM Raoul headed to an area where the moon could be seen easily. Sinopa had waited until the others were sound asleep before pouring her extra food into a box; she'd instructed the volunteer to bring their own box. She crept out of the shed and headed over to a shadowed area to wait. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:01 PM "Hey, look, the moon's half-full." Rika said as she sat down beside Raoul. Taka and the other canine met up with Sinopa, and Taka gasped when she saw her. "Heeey! I remember you!" Taka said in as loud a whisper as she dared. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:06 PM "It's beautiful." Raoul leaned back a bit, being careful on his broken arm. "Shh!" Sinopa stared at her though; what was she doing back? She poured the food into the box the renegade had brought. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:11 PM Taka nodded; she didn't want to get Sinopa in trouble. "You're the one who left?" Taka whispered so low that it could barely be heard even by herself. "Yeah... but you can't see the stars in the city, and it saddens me." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:17 PM "At least the moon can still be seen. That's one thing the humans can't hide." "Yeah." Sinopa put the box down. "I wanted to get food back to the cubs as best I can. Hell with Phelan, he can kiss my tail." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:21 PM "Why, what did he do?" Taka asked curiously. "i would be devastated if they managed that." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:24 PM "I just got sick of him treating me like I'm no better than he is. He's the one who doesn't think outside the box of getting food to the cubs or the rest of the group. Scavenging for food won't help us forever." "Yeah." Raoul looked sad. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:26 PM "...oh. Yeah, he can be like that... I dunno why." Taka said. Rika looked over at Raoul. "Your eyes are doing it again..." Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:29 PM "Doing what?" Raoul rubbed his eyes. "I think I'm having a reaction to something here, my eyes keep watering. Must be all the dirt." "He's upset about Meria miscarrying. I won't be surprised if he can't ever look at her again. He's probably blaming himself for it but it's not his fault. It's the humans' for making it so da.mn hard for us." She looked back at the main junk yard building. ".. Though admittedly, the human that 'captured' me is different than most I've run into." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:33 PM "A human? Different? How so?" Taka asked. Rika giggled. "No, I meant they're- they're beautiful, like the last time I saw them in the moonlight." Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:40 PM Raoul blushed. "Th-Thanks. Yours are, too." "Well, usually most humans I've met are extremely rude to the likes of us. He's not. He doesn't even order us around much. Just wants us to keep people out of the junk yard." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:46 PM "That's weird." Taka said. "But mine are just black." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 10:52 PM "They sparkle though. Like stars." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 10:54 PM "Um, I should get going now..." Taka said. "R-really?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:00 PM "Really really, Rika." He smiled shyly. "I'll see you around, maybe. Just don't come around here during the day." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:01 PM Taka nodded. "Okay, then." ^^ "Good luck." Rika blushed and leaned in close, unsure of what she was doing. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:08 PM Raoul inched closer to Rika, as he couldn't really lean closer on his bad arm. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:10 PM Rika giggled and leaned in some more, her eyes locked on his, and soon her face was millimeters away from his.

"I wanna 'nother story, please!" ^_^ spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:15 PM Rika eeped and fell backward. XD "OH! You scared me!" Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:16 PM "Sorry, lady!" The cub whined apologetically. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:19 PM "Well, um... what kind of story do you want?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:22 PM "Any. I can't sleep. Monroe was sleeping on me again." He cuddled up to her. Raoul helped Rika sit back up. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 11:24 PM Phelan had of course refused to go and see Sinopa. He regarded her as a traitor. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:32 PM Taka went to go talk to Phel. "Um... Phel?" "Hmm... how about ah, uh, love story?" Rika offered. Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:33 PM "Sure." The cub looked up at her. Raoul stayed where he was, content to listen to the story as well. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:37 PM "Okay, um..." Rika cleared her throat. "Lemme think of a good one, okay?" Silent_Wolf 12-07-2009 11:38 PM The cub nodded and cuddled up to her. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 11:42 PM "What is it now?" Phelan replied, grumpily. spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:46 PM "Once upon a time, back in the days when it was believed that the elves, servants of the gods of nature, still roamed the land, a leader of a pack called Randall was to become mated with another leader, a girl, named Kiori. Randall's nephew, Corrin, was to escort Kiori to their lands..." Rika began. "Why are you mad at Sinopa?" Taka asked innocently; she wasn't accusing him, she just wanted to know. Miranda_ 12-07-2009 11:50 PM Phelan scowled. "She's a traitor. She ran off and joined with the humans, and now thinks she can play Lady Bountiful." spirit_queen 12-07-2009 11:55 PM "But she didn't comletely abandon us, she found a regular source of food." Taka said, tilting her head to one side, similar to a cub who wanted to understand. For Taka did want to understand; she wanted to understand Phel. For some reason or another, Phel fascinated her; one minute he'd be willing to help someone out, another minute he was ready to leave them to the dogs quite literally, or even bitee them himself, and she wanted to know why. Miranda_ 12-08-2009 12:04 AM "Let me guess; you've talked to her and of course, believed every single word she said," Phelan replied, rolling his eyes. "The truth is, she's one of them now. And the only reason she's giving out food is to show me up." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 12:05 AM "But have you talked to her? Haven't you at least tried?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 12-08-2009 12:09 AM "I don't talk to traitors." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 12:11 AM "Oh." Taka said. "Am I a traitor for tlking to one?" she asked, still curious. Miranda_ 12-08-2009 12:39 AM "That's your choice. Just don't expect me to ever talk to her again." Sarah_K_O_M 12-08-2009 01:26 AM Aldo was wandering about. He does that a lot. He was walking with his eyes closed, occasionally stopping for a moment and moving his feet then walking on. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 11:18 AM "Oh. Okay." Taka said. "I'll be honest, you kinda confuse me sometimes, and you can be mean when you're mad, but I don't think you're all bad... you just pretend you are." Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:23 AM The cub listened raptly to the story. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 11:33 AM During the story, Corrin and Kiori fell in love, even thoough Kiori was declared mate to Randall. Eventually, however, Randall caught them. Rika paused at this part to catch the cub's reaction. XD Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:34 AM "Noo! He can't split them up! They love each other!" The cub was upset. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 11:45 AM "Don't worry, he doesn't split them up." Rika said, smiling down at the cub. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:46 AM "So what happens? I wanna know!" Raoul laughed a bit. "Better tell him, Rika." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 11:49 AM "Randall resigns as the leader of his pack, and Corrin takes his place as his heir; Randall was much older than Kiori to begin with, so he could understand why she fell for a younger man. He was very upset to learn that Kiori cheated on him, but he knew it was because she really loved Corrin, and not for any other reason." Rika said. "And so, both packs remain united, Kiori and Corrin were together at last, and even Randall was happy that they were both happy at long last, and all was well for a long, long time." She concluded softly. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:52 AM The cub was happy and curled up against her again. "That was a good story, lady." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 11:54 AM "Thank you." Rika said, smiling down at him. "Now you should be off to bed; it's quite late, and I think Takaia planned on teaching you all a new game." Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:59 AM The cub nodded and walked back to the cubs' tent, yawning. Raoul laughed a bit. "They sure like their stories, don't they?" spirit_queen 12-08-2009 12:05 PM "Yeah." Rika said. She looekd up at Raoul. "Raoul, since coming here, I've been... confused." Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 12:06 PM "In what way?" He blinked. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 12:08 PM "About the madness, something the renegades have several names for depending on the type of madness." Rika said. "The renegades view it as a natural thing that shouldn't be hindered, and we grew up in a society where it's wrong to have someone to yourself like that... my question is which one is right? Or are they both right to a degree, and it's up to us to find the perfect middle ground?" Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 12:13 PM "..." Raoul thought for a little bit, then eventually said, still thinking, "Well, if there's somebody we have the madness for, wouldn't that make us want to protect the pack even more?" spirit_queen 12-08-2009 12:17 PM Rika shook her head. "I don't know, I jsut don't... wouldn't it depend on the person? It's sort of an individual, case-by-case thing, isn't it?" Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 12:17 PM "I suppose so." Miranda_ 12-08-2009 12:50 PM Phelan glared at Takaia. "I don't pretend anything. It's a tough world, and you don't get to where I am by pretending." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 07:28 PM "Oh. Um, sorry." Taka said. "It's all very complicated." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 08:55 PM "I know. I..I'm confused too." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 08:57 PM "You are?" Rika asked. Despite all the evidence, she still didn't seem to be aware that Raoul liked her back. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:49 PM.

I um." He scratched the back of his head, not sure how to say it. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:09 PM "What is it?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:12 PM "..." Raoul leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Does that answer your question?" He was blushing a little. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:18 PM Rika's hand flew up to her mouth and her eyes widened. Then, tentatively, she touched where his lips had touched her cheek. Rika looked at Raoul, and smiled. No, beamed, her eyes twikling and her cheeks hurting form the force of her smile, but she couldn't stop if she tried. Her heart leapt with sudden joy at the prospect that he liked her back, and she didn't realize that she was actually shaking. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:27 PM "Y-You okay? You're shaking." He put a hand on her shoulder. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:31 PM "I- Iam?" Rika asked with a sheepish giggle. "Oh, I am... and my heart... it pounds as if I'd just been running." Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:32 PM "Is that a good thing?" He didn't mention that his heart was pounding too. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:38 PM "Yes." Rika said after a moment's consideration. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:40 PM "Good, then." He smiled. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:44 PM "Why? Are- are you feeling it too?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:45 PM He nodded. "Y-Yeah." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:48 PM Rika smiled and, unable to control her sudden impulse, hugged him. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:50 PM She nearly knocked him over, but he stayed sitting up and hugged her back. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:51 PM Rika hugged him tightly and managed to resist the urge to squeal. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 09:52 PM "I really do like you, Rika." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 09:55 PM "I like you a lot, too." Rika replied, pulling back some to look Raoul in the eyes. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:00 PM He smiled at her. "I'm glad." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:01 PM "So, um... what now?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:02 PM ".. You want to just sit here and look at the moon for awhile?" spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:08 PM Rika giggled. "Sure." She scooched closer ot Raoul and snuggled in to him. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:12 PM Raoul wrapped his arms around her and held her close, resting his head on top of hers. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:13 PM Rika felt really, truly content, and sighed with her happiness. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:16 PM Raoul smiled and closed his eyes, 'hmm'ing happily. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:17 PM "Raoul?" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:22 PM "Hm?" He lifted his head off hers so he could look at her. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:24 PM "Would you, ah, um..." Rika paused and cleared her throat. "Would you... k- kiss me?" Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:26 PM He blushed a little. "..Sure." He leaned closer, stopped a minute out of shyness, but kissed her lips lightly. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:27 PM Rika lingered a moment after the kiss, then leaned in and kissed him again. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:28 PM Raoul kissed her back, holding her close. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:29 PM After a while, Rika pulled back some. "Wow." Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:34 PM "Yeah." Raoul blinked, smiling. I think the boy's flustered. xD spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:38 PM Rika yawned suddenly, her eyelids fluttering. "Oh, goodness!" Rika said afterward, wiping her eyes because they'd watered some. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:39 PM He laughed a little. "Sounds like somebody's tired." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:39 PM "Yeah, it's been a long day." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:40 PM "Come on, I'll help you walk. You look like you'll fall asleep at any minute." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:44 PM "Yeah, thanks." Rika said, offering Raoul a wan smile. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:45 PM He smiled back and stood up, holding onto her hands to pull her to her feet. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:47 PM Rika leaned on him as she stood, for she was now too tired to truly stand on her own. Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:48 PM He thought for a minute, then picked her up with an arm under her knees and shoulders. While this was a little hard on his leg, she wasn't that heavy and he could manage it. spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:49 PM Rika 'eep'ed with surprise when he did that, then leaned her head on his shoulder and fell asleep almost instantly.

XD Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 10:55 PM He didn't mind. He put her down in her sleeping bag and pulled the flap over her so she wouldn't be cold. "G'night, Rika." spirit_queen 12-08-2009 10:56 PM Rika just snored in response. XD Silent_Wolf 12-08-2009 11:02 PM He kissed her cheek and left the tent after making sure she was covered by the sleeping bag, and headed to his own tent. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 12:24 AM Aldo sat down outside Kasa's fence. He had a ball. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 12:41 AM "I've had to be tough practically from the moment I was born," Phelan said to Takaia. "It's different here to what you're used to, I can tell you that. Some vigilantes seem to think that we can't hunt, or that we just want to scavenge off the humans forever. Firstly, I can hunt; there just isn't enough prey around the city to support all the renegades living there. There isn't anything larger than a squirrel or a rat. Second, we don't want that; the way things stand right now, we don't have that choice. The humans are too selfish to give us a chance; they'd be happy if we all just died, cuz it would mean more room for them to live." Kasa was in the garden. She glanced curiously at Aldo. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 12:45 AM "I never though you wanted to live a scanvenger's live, you don't seem the type at all... you're too independent." Taka said. She was being perfectly honest."As for me? I don't know what I am, or even what I want to do with my life anymore; I used to want to be nursemother, but here in the city, that role doens't really exist anymore..." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 12:47 AM Aldo tossed the ball into the air then caught it in his mouth. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 12:59 AM "I don't really know what I want, either," said Phelan. "It's not all bad in the city; when the weather warms up, it can be alright. And what's a nursemother?" Kasa came over to the fence. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 01:00 AM Aldo turned around and spat out the ball, wiping it on his jeans. "Hi." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 01:03 AM Taka sighed. "In a vigilante pack, cubs don't stay with their mothers; it has to do with equality... well, basically, a nursemother takes care of cubs from a few days after birth to when they're about ten years old... but, like I said, there's no room for that role here." she shook her head. "I spent my whole life working toward that goal; I'm not that strong, and that never used to matter at all. And, in less than a week, the humans dashed the dream of a lifetime." She soudned really bitter towards the end of her statement, and indeed, she was. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 01:19 AM "Hi," said Kasa. "Were you playing with that ball?" "Do you want to talk about it?" said Phelan. "I could always tell you something about myself in return." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 01:20 AM he looked down at it. "I suppose so. Do you want it instead?" spirit_queen 12-09-2009 01:24 AM Taka nodded. "Talking would help a bit." She said, hugging her knees to her chest. "From the time you're about 6 in a pack, you can choose things to start learning; hunting is the only default thing besides something like language and rules that everyone has to learn. Well, I chose healing, and I chose to learn how to help with the youngers, like the really teensy ones. I spent years and years focusing on learning all the herbs for healing, and learning all about how to care for cubs, especially the precious newborns. In fact, I sometimes would trade places with someone who wanted to pracitce hunting just so I could spend more time practicing herblore and playing with the youngers." Takaia sighed. "But what's the point now? Only the strong and the street-smartseem to survive here, and I'm not strong or street-smart, and there aren't really enough newborns for there to be a need for a nursemother, especially since the newborns stay with their birthmothers." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 01:31 AM "No thanks," Kasa said. "I have lots." "Unless their mother dies, or doesn't want them," said Phelan. "That happens sometimes; some aren't ready to be parents so their cubs just end up added to the group. We had to give up all the cubs last year, cuz there just wasn't enough food. It's been better this year, cuz of the steakhouse opening and a new system for trasn desposal that makes it easier to get food. "What do you want to know about me? I never really told anyone anything." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 01:33 AM Taka offered a small smile. "Oh, anything, perhaps your childhood, ro something... but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 01:33 AM Aldo shrugged and pocketed it. He sat back, lying on the pavement. "Hey, do me a favour, okay?" Miranda_ 12-09-2009 01:45 AM Kasa glanced at Aldo suspiciously. "That depends what it is." Phelan said, "The main thing I remember from my childhood is when me, my mother and my brother had to leave the place where we were living. It was a makeshift camp in an alleyway. Anyway, the human who owned the house trashed it one day while we were gone and then put wire up so we couldn't get back in." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 01:47 AM "If I ever fall for someone, and you get the chance, tear my pansy throat out. Honestly, it's the biggest crock since supremacy. And it never ends well either. Ever heard of Romeo and Juliet?" spirit_queen 12-09-2009 01:47 AM "That had to be very, very hard on you." Takaia said. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 01:51 AM "No," Kasa said, wondering what had brought this on. "Is it a human thing?" "It was. It was snowing, too, and my mother thought for a while that she'd have to give us up to the humans to give us a chance, but she found a new camp to join in the nick of time." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 01:56 AM "Yeah. There's this girl called Juliet and this guy called Romeo who are in love, but their families hate each other and Juliet's got to marry some other guy anyways. Anyway, loads of people die on either side because of them, Juliet fakes her death so she and Romeo can escape but he thinks she's actually died, so he kills himself. Then she wakes up from her stupor and offs herself too. Kind of pathetic, and really stupid." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 01:58 AM "That is stupid," said Kasa. "Why didn't he check to see if she was breathing before he killed himself?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 02:01 AM "I think the stuff she took made her pulse really weak, too low to be felt or something. I don't know, maybe he was just an idiot. Probably. You know what's stupid?" spirit_queen 12-09-2009 02:02 AM "I'm glad, in a way... if you'd become a pet or a guard, we would have never met and become- becomes friends... well... ah.. do yuo want to be my friend? I mean, I won't go aorund calling you mt friend if you don't want to be." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 02:21 AM "I think he was just an idiot," said Kasa. "And what's stupid?" "OK," Phelan said, gruffly. "I'd like that." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 02:22 AM Taka smiled. "Good... can I ask you something?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 02:24 AM "The humans obsession with 'star-crossed lovers'. It appears quite a lot. Usually it's stuff like a street rat falling for a princessy type though, not feuding families." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 02:26 AM "Has that ever happened to you? Or have you just read stories?" Kasa asked. Phelan replied, "Go on, then." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 02:28 AM "How many friends do you have? I only havew about three, myself, not counting you." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 02:30 AM "Two, including you. Now that Sinopa's decided to be a traitor, I'm not friends with her any more." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 02:33 AM "...who's your other firned?" Taka asked. "i'm friends with sharama, Rika, and Raoul, and now you." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 02:34 AM "What, fall in love? No way, especally not with a princessy type. My ex's have all been hard-as-nails b*tches." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 02:37 AM "Aldo, tho he's a weirdo," said Phelan. "They sound nasty," said Kasa, with a flounce. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 02:38 AM Taka giggled. "He is, but he's sorta fun... and he gave me some yummy tea... so should I count him among my friends, too, since I got to hang out with him? Or is it too soon, d'ya think?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 02:44 AM "That's because you never met them. Sharona could take on two guys bigger than her with breaking a sweat and Dani, well... She was just crazy. I had to keep her away from broken glass a lot. Sharona was amazing though. You should have seen her. Red hair down to her waist. F*cken beautiful." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 11:31 AM "It's a bit soon," said Phelan. "It takes a while for me anyway to trust people, usually." Kasa glared at Aldo. "I don't care. I don't want to listen if you're going to talk about them." She felt a bit hurt at the last anecdote, cuz in her human form, she had waist length red hair. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 11:36 AM "That' understandable. I mean, here, there are som many bad things that can happen... you have to be careful to the point of rediculousness." Taka said. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 02:57 PM Aldo shrugged. "Alright, if you're going get your knickers in a twist. Red hair really is gorgeous though." he added as an aside. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:49 PM.

Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 03:10 PM "Hey, good for you." Aldo said cheerfully. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 03:16 PM Kasa turned away from him without another word. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 03:18 PM Aldo tried to keep a straight face. Generally, any time he's cheerful he's doing it to annoy someone. He started tossing the ball into the air again. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 03:25 PM Kasa turned her back on Aldo completely and walked back towards the house. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 03:26 PM "You're going back in?" Miranda_ 12-09-2009 03:29 PM "I'm cold," Kasa said, without turning round. "And I've got better things to do indoors." Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 03:30 PM "That's a pity. You're nice to talk to." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 03:33 PM "Too bad you prefer other girls better," was Kasa's parting shot, before she went into the house thru her dog door. Sarah_K_O_M 12-09-2009 03:46 PM Aldo just looked confused. "...They're my exes. What the f*ck?" spirit_queen 12-09-2009 07:34 PM *later* Taka was going to go out and see if she could get breakfast for the cubs, then try andf teach them a new game to play. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 07:44 PM Phelan had gotten a lot of food in, so there'd be enough food for the cubs at least for that day. He was instead building a fire. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 07:46 PM Taka went over to him. "What'cha makin a fire for, Phel?" She asked. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:03 PM "It's cold, that's a good enough reason," Phelan replied. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:07 PM "Oh... I dind't even notice." Taka said. "I mean, I spent my whole life roaming aorund without clothes, and I'm actually warmer than I'm used to being." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:10 PM "It's different in the city, tho," said Phelan. "Gets colder, tho we're out of the wind here. And freezes more." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:14 PM "Oh. Do you want me to hlep you with thje fire then?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:19 PM "No, I'm fine. I stole a lighter from a human a while ago," Phelan said. He didn't think that Takaia had even seen one before. XD spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:23 PM "A lighter? Can I see?" Taka asked. For phel had been right, she'd definitely never seen one. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:26 PM "Just watch me light the fire," Phelan said. "They're dangerous if you get too close." He flicked the lighter next to the balled up newspapers and it caught. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:30 PM Takaia giggled in delight. "That's so awesome!" Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:39 PM "It's quicker and easier than lighting a fire the proper way. Plus they're fairly easy to get hold of. Humans use them to light these weird white paper sticks." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:41 PM "Paper sticks?" Taka asked. "Why?" Miranda_ 12-09-2009 08:48 PM "I don't know why, but they do." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 08:58 PM "That's very weird." Taka said. "Can i see the lighter? I won't do anything stupid, I promise." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:01 PM "Make sure you don't. And don't break it, either; I don't want to have to go out and get another one." Phelan handed it to Takaia. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:04 PM Taka imitate phel and flicked it, but no flame appeared. She scowled, then flicked it again, and again... after a few more tried, she got it. "Yaaay!" she let the flame go out, then tried again and got it almosrt immediately. "This thing is so fun!" Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:07 PM "Don't waste the flame; give it back." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:12 PM Taka sighed but did as he asked. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:16 PM "You can look at the fire, instead." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:20 PM "Not the same... fire's something I see a lot as a healer, because we use hot water to cleanse wounds, which must be heated over a fire." Taka said. "But it works, I guess..." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:24 PM "The fire is safer, tho. That's why we don't let the cubs play with the lighters." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:27 PM Taka was gonna say something, but then her stomach growled; she hadn't had any breakfast at all. XD Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:34 PM Phelan took a side long glance at her. "There's some food in the second tent if you want any." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:35 PM "Er, thanks, I'll get some in a minute." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:46 PM "Suit yourself. I'm just going to relax and enjoy not having to go and scavenge for once." spirit_queen 12-09-2009 09:48 PM Taka lay herself down on her stomach by the fire, sighing. "Waaaarm..." she muttered. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 09:57 PM Phelan changed into wolf form to curl up beside the fire. spirit_queen 12-09-2009 10:06 PM Taka followed his example, and her tail wagged a bit lazily to express her contentment. XD Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 10:22 PM Elsewhere, Sinopa was patrolling around the perimeter with Lupe. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:49 PM.

"A lot of renegades seem to think that all it takes for the humans to be overthrown is for all the guards to fight back against their masters," she said to Sinopa. "That is so much crap right there. Humans have guns; any guard that tried that would be shot right away, or beaten if they're lucky. Humans have weapons we don't have, which is why they're stronger. Only an idiot would bite the hand that feeds it." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 10:32 PM "Try telling my friend Phelan that. He probably hates me now, coming here like this. I just got sick of fighting with him and undermining what I was trying to do for the cubs." She sighed flatly. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 10:38 PM "One word; testosterone. It's what makes guys do stupid things," Lupe said. "What exactly was he doing, anyway?" Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 10:40 PM "He always tells people, 'How do you think you'd look with your head torn off?' when they disagree with him. Even if it's on something stupid. He thinks that foraging is always going to work to keep the cubs and the others in the camps fed. It -won't- but he doesn't see that. Sure, there's always garbage out there; but what if the humans get tired of us foraging and use incinerators instead? What are we going to do?" She looked miserable. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 10:50 PM "Have you ever asked him that question? And yeah, that's a typical male way of reacting to a problem, to threaten violence." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 11:14 PM "He wouldn't answer me, that's when he started threatening me. He thinks that the way things are going now is the only way to do things. He acts like the Vigilantes, too stubborn to change." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 11:26 PM "Maybe you were going about it the wrong way," said Lupe, reflectively. "Crevan used to be like that." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 11:27 PM "All I said was that we couldn't rely on scavenging forever. But he's so full of himself that he just doesn't want to listen." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 11:36 PM "More like, the way you said it made him think you were challenging his dominance," said Lupe. "You can't deal with that kind of guy that way. Just makes them worse. Like slamming your head against a brick wall trying to knock it down, just hurts your head. You've got to use subtle methods." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 11:43 PM "I'm not even going to bother. If he so much as thinks I'm arguing with him, even when I wasn't, he threatened to have me chased out." Miranda_ 12-09-2009 11:50 PM "Just telling you that there's an easier way than the one you chose to deal with guys like him. Crevan didn't want to come here at all in the first place; it was only after I subtly let him see how much worse it would be if we stayed the way we were instead of coming here, that he agreed." Lupe paused, then said, "Crevan's brother is a pet. That's why he was so against the idea. Once I showed him that a guard is different to a pet, and that Everett is a lot different to most humans, he agreed to our coming here." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 11:53 PM "I don't know what Phel's problem is." Sinopa sighed. Miranda_ 12-09-2009 11:56 PM "If you stay here, then you won't ever know. In any case, it's not your problem any more." Silent_Wolf 12-09-2009 11:57 PM "I just worry about the cubs." That, and Sinopa was starting to miss her freedom. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:00 AM "You're leaving food for them; they'll be fine." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:06 AM "How did you know?" Sinopa's hackles went up a little. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:10 AM "Your friends would tell you, surely, if there was anything wrong." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:12 AM Sinopa sighed and looked out past the fence. "Or Phel's threatening them to not tell me anything. I'm going to be honest though, I'm smelling a lot more Vigilantes than usual." Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:14 AM "I expect some came to the city after the humans leveled some of the wild country," Lupe said. "The mayor of the city wants to expand." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:16 AM "..What?" Sinopa turned to stare at Lupe. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:20 AM "I thought you would have heard about that by now," Lupe replied. "The mayor wanted to expand the city, so he bought up the land that lies at the far end." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:22 AM "Th-They can't do that, the Vigilantes may be a bunch of morons but that's just the way they live!" Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:27 AM "They can. Humans can do whatever they want, and they can't be stopped. Just the way it is." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:33 AM Sinopa just shook her head. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:37 AM Lupe looked at her. "There really isn't any way to stop them. There's more of them than there is of us, and they've already done it, anyway." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:46 AM "I know that. Just don't see why they think they're better than us." Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:47 AM "Ignorance is the only answer to that. Tho, there are humans who are not so bad; they're just in the minority, sadly." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 12:48 AM "And they wind up killed. Makes me wonder whether or not they'd turn on their own kind if we weren't here." Miranda_ 12-10-2009 12:58 AM "I expect they would." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 01:00 AM ".. Did something like that already happen?" Miranda_ 12-10-2009 01:04 AM "Probably. After all, they like killing. We're just an easy target." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 01:07 AM "Yeah." Sinopa snarled a bit. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 01:16 AM "Anyway, no point in thinking about it now, seeing as we can't change anything. It's Raven and Hunter's turn to patrol with Rusty, so we can take a break." Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 01:18 AM "I need some sleep." Sinopa headed back to the shed. Miranda_ 12-10-2009 11:37 AM Lupe headed there, too. Silent_Wolf 12-10-2009 09:03 PM She flopped down in her little area and went to sleep. XD spirit_queen 12-10-2009 10:30 PM *later* Just like she said she would, Taka headed toward where the junkyard was at night to see Sinopa, and possibly collect more food for the cubs. Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 12:19 AM Aldo was trying to figure what he had done to annoy Kasa. He wasn't doing very well. XD Miranda_ 12-11-2009 12:34 AM He'd be better off asking another female. XD Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 12:35 AM And so he went in search of one before realising that there was one in his house. And so he went to go ask her. All times are GMT. The time now is 07:49 PM.

"Hi, Sinopa." She whispered. Silent_Wolf 12-11-2009 11:03 AM Sinopa nodded; she had a box of food in her mouth. XD spirit_queen 12-11-2009 11:13 AM Taka giggled and scooched her own box forward to let Sinopa put the food in it. Silent_Wolf 12-11-2009 11:21 AM Sinopa turned her head to pour the food into the box, then dropped her own. "I'm gonna go crazy. I know it." spirit_queen 12-11-2009 11:23 AM "Why? what's wrong?" Taka asked. Silent_Wolf 12-11-2009 11:32 AM "I heard about the humans doing what they did to your pack's cubs. They're planning on extending the city out more." spirit_queen 12-11-2009 11:41 AM Taka's ears drooped. "It was terrible! And they murdered one of our leaders when they cheased us out because he wanted to make sure that everyone who wanted to leave left." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 07:38 PM Aldo went into his house, hoping Sharama was awake. Miranda_ 12-11-2009 08:05 PM Sharama was. She had her hands on her stomach; the cub was due very soon. Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 08:06 PM "hey, do you know anything about girls?" Miranda_ 12-11-2009 08:12 PM "Some, being one myself," Sharama replied. "What do you want to know?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 08:28 PM "I p*ssed off this one chick I know and I don't know how. I just mentioned my exes." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 08:32 PM "I'm guessing that's the problem," said Sharama, considering the problem. In the pack, there was never that kind of problem but Sharama was clever enough to give the matter some thought. Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 08:36 PM "What is? I don't get it." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 09:05 PM "Sounds as tho she has the madness for you," Sharama replied. "So, you shouldn't talk about previous lovers in front of her." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 09:09 PM "I haven't even told you a thing about her." Silent_Wolf 12-11-2009 09:09 PM Sinopa growled and pawed at the ground after getting back on all four paws. "B*stards. The humans are just selfish, greedy... ugh." She snorted. spirit_queen 12-11-2009 09:12 PM "Yeah. and tyhey ruined my future, ah, you would call it career, I tihnk..." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 12-11-2009 09:21 PM "What was it?" Miranda_ 12-11-2009 09:21 PM Sharama shrugged. "You asked, I told you. You don't have to take any notice of what I'm saying." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 09:23 PM "She can't be though. It's just... Weird." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 09:34 PM "Why can't she be?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 09:51 PM "Because she doesn't deserve that." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 09:54 PM "Why not? You're not so bad." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 09:56 PM "From what I've heard love is like a death sentence. Besides, the very idea of it is horrific. Emotional slavery." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 10:01 PM "In the pack, love isn't an issue," said Sharama. "We get on fine enough without love; it just causes complications." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 10:11 PM "I'm sure it still happens. Love isn't just a societal issue, it's some kind of accepted lunacy. Love for someone, love for family, love of material gain. Bloody nuts, all of it." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 10:29 PM "There are ways of dealing with it; usually, separation." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 10:31 PM "That's worse. It just validates it and they end up all whiny and always thinking about the other person. It's all just a pain." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 10:43 PM "Not as far as I know. I've never had the madness and I don't ever intend to have it." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 10:46 PM "I don't think it comes with a button." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 11:18 PM "You don't understand how it works in a pack." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 11:20 PM "Of course. Never been in one." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 11:42 PM "I miss it, a lot. And it hasn't been long since the humans destroyed everything." Sarah_K_O_M 12-11-2009 11:49 PM "Well, you have some friends from it in the city." Miranda_ 12-11-2009 11:56 PM "No thanks to the humans. They'd have been happy if we'd all died." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 12:02 AM "And vice versa. The pathetic thing is that there is no tangible difference between either." Miranda_ 12-12-2009 12:06 AM "All I have now is the cub." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 12:18 AM Aldo patted her head awkwardly.

Miranda_ 12-12-2009 10:58 PM "Just say you want to apologise." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 10:59 PM "But I didn't do anything wrong." Miranda_ 12-12-2009 11:33 PM "She thinks you did, so she might not talk to you unless you apologise." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 11:38 PM "But I didn't. She's wrong." Miranda_ 12-12-2009 11:40 PM Sharama sighed. "You both sound as stubborn as each other." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 11:41 PM "But it's true. Why should I apologise for nothing?" Miranda_ 12-12-2009 11:44 PM "You want to know how to get her to stay and listen. Anyway, I didn't say you had to apologise; just to tell her you want to apologise." Sarah_K_O_M 12-12-2009 11:52 PM Aldo sighed. spirit_queen 12-14-2009 02:20 AM Meanwhile, Taka had said her goodbyes to Sinopa and had returned to the camp. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 08:03 PM Aldo went to go find Kasa. Not that it took much looking. XD Miranda_ 12-14-2009 08:12 PM Well, she was in the same place a lot of the time. XD Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 08:17 PM He went and waited for her. Miranda_ 12-14-2009 08:22 PM When Kasa finally went into the garden, she saw Aldo there and turned to go back inside the house. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 08:25 PM Aldo turned just in time to see her. "Hey, wait." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 08:41 PM She stopped. "What do you want?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 08:43 PM "T, uh, say sorry. I'm not sure how I p*ssed you off, I mean, well, I asked someone but they just had this really stupid idea and... I'm getting sidetracked. Anyways, I don't know what I did but I'm sorry I did it since it made you so mad at me." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 08:47 PM "Just don't do it again." Kasa walked back to the fence. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 08:47 PM "...Can you tell me what I did?" Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:04 PM "You really don't know? I would have thought it was obvious." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 09:06 PM Taka went to go find Phel. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 09:08 PM "Enlighten me." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:15 PM Phelan was sitting by himself near the tents. "You were talking about your exes as if they're so good. So if they are, then why are they exes? And don't do it in front of me, cuz I don't want to hear," Kasa said. spirit_queen 12-14-2009 09:16 PM Taka walked up to him slowly and a little shyly. "Um, um, Phelan?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 09:17 PM "They're exes for a reason though. Dani was nuts and Sharona found someone else." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:21 PM Phelan looked round. "What do you want?" "So if she wanted you back, you'd go?" Kasa said. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 09:24 PM "Doubt it. She was hot yeah, but the reason she found someone else is between we weren't working out. Besides, I'm not a god*mn lapdog." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 09:25 PM "I, ah... would you help me show the cubs something? I, er, I know it sounds strange and all..." Taka began, shuffling her feet awkwardly. Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:33 PM "Show them what?" "Never said you were." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 09:35 PM "How to play a new game, and maybe you can help with a demonstration of mine... I usually use Raoul, but I don't know where he is... probably off with Rika again." Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 09:35 PM "So I'm not going to go back to her." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:46 PM "That depends what it is," Phelan said, suspiciously. "So you say." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 09:47 PM "Do you want me to tell you in full before you agree?" Taka asked. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:02 AM.

And Phel calls me a weirdo." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 09:52 PM "Yes," said Phelan. "Tell me in full, then I'll decide." "You are a weirdo," said Kasa. "You're a canine, but you act like a human." Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 09:57 PM "I just act naturally. You guys make it sound like I'm trying." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:04 PM "That isn't natural; that's the whole point." Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 10:05 PM "It's natural for me. Both ways are. It's just that the weirdo way gets me shot at a lot less." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:10 PM "You could use your canine way a little more, tho. Then you wouldn't get called a weirdo." Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 10:12 PM Aldo shrugged. "I like having opposable thumbs. Besides, that's a bit rich coming from a pet. You barely count as canine for most of us." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:18 PM "Well, sorry for not wanting to freeze and starve to death," said Kasa, insulted. "I don't really care what the unwashed masses think, anyway. What makes you think I do?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 10:28 PM "I don't. I'm just telling you how it is. To most people you're a traitor, someone who rather be a brainwashed slave then think an independent thought. Quite frankly, I don't care what you do." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 10:30 PM Taka told him how to play a simple came, a weird cross between soccer and kick the can. XD Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:34 PM "Fine, that doesn't sound too bad," said Phelan. Kasa growled at him. "Anyone who thinks that obviously was dropped on their head as a cub. If you think that, I won't waste any more of my time talking to you any more." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 10:38 PM Taka beamed. "Do you want to try it out with me irst, to get the hang of it before we show the cubs?" Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:43 PM "I guess so." Phelan got up and stretched. spirit_queen 12-14-2009 10:46 PM Taka waited for him, then got a good can to play with. Miranda_ 12-14-2009 10:53 PM "Maybe we could get a ball later on. Aldo would be able to get one, if I asked him." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 10:55 PM "That owuld be wonderful!" Taka said with a grin. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:02 PM "I just said I didn't. Honestly. Have you got you hearing aid turned on there, dear?" Aldo said snarkily. Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:02 PM "That sort of game is good for the cubs; it'll make teaching them to hunt later easier." Kasa didn't reply; she just turned around and walked towards the house. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:19 PM "Wait, I can't even make a joke now? Wow. Hey, at least Sharama was wrong though." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:20 PM Kasa turned her head. "About what? And who's Sharama, anyway?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:24 PM "Vigilante living at my house. Her pack was attacked by humans so they could steal the cubs and they nearly killed her. She escaped to here and I patched her up. I'm letting her stay at my house until her kid is born. Nice girl, but I think she lost a little too much blood to the brain. She thinks you've got 'the madness' for me." he said, making the little air quotes with his fingers. Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:28 PM Kasa had never heard this term before; she was puzzled. "The what?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:29 PM "The madness. Attraction. Love. Hallmark. All that rubbish." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:36 PM Kasa tensed up. "Oh." spirit_queen 12-14-2009 11:36 PM Quote: Originally Posted by Miranda_ (Post 884899) "That sort of game is good for the cubs; it'll make teaching them to hunt later easier." Kasa didn't reply; she just turned around and walked towards the house. "That's why I made it up; I've perfected it some over the few years I've worked with the cubs." Taka said, beaming at Phel. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:37 PM "I think she's got gangrene of the mind or something." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:45 PM "There isn't much worth hunting in the city, but it's still something they need to know." "Even if it was true, what would be the use?" Kasa muttered. spirit_queen 12-14-2009 11:47 PM "Yeah. And- and maybe when the humans settle down some of that builing stuff, I can take them outjust a teeny bit farther into what remains of the forest... but I don't tihnk I'd do itoften. Once a year at most. And only if it was actuall possible without too many complications." Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:48 PM "Not much of one. I'm not into self-flagellation." Miranda_ 12-14-2009 11:52 PM "Would be easier if the city didn't keep on getting bigger all the time." Kasa's ears and tail drooped. She started to walk sadly towards the house. Sarah_K_O_M 12-14-2009 11:54 PM "Hey, you alright? You look like you need a hug or something." Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:01 AM "I'm fine," Kasa said, trying to keep her voice steady. "And you'd find it hard to hug me in this form." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:03 AM Quote: Originally Posted by Miranda_ (Post 884933) "Would be easier if the city didn't keep on getting bigger all the time." Kasa's ears and tail drooped. She started to walk sadly towards the house. Tak sihed. "The humans multiply like rabbits, but have no predators to regulate their population, and refuse to somehow regulat it themselves; you'd think with all their stupid technology they'd find a way to ragulate it without so much death, right? But, no, they invade homes and destroy other lives and never fix the problem." Sarah_K_O_M 12-15-2009 12:03 AM "You're being all droopy." Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:10 AM "They have pills they give to their pets," said Phelan. "Maybe they should try taking the pills themselves." "Maybe I could change into my human form, then you could hug me," Kasa said. spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:12 AM "Yeah... but I doubt they'd think that way or listen to any of us." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:17 AM "Perhaps one day we'll be able to make them listen." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:19 AM "I certainly hope so... I mean, if somehow they knew we were just as sentient as them, then maybe it would change theattitudes of at least some." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:25 AM "At the very least, it'll get them to leave us alone." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:27 AM "That'd be nice, too... I'mtired of watching the tradition of our people dieing away." Taka said. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:02 AM.

"Nothing you can do about that." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:34 AM Tak sighed. "I know... anyways, let's get to teaching the cubs how to play the game." Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:42 AM So they went. *later* spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:44 AM Taka was exhausted after playing with the cubs for so long, and was heading for her tent to rest some. XD Miranda_ 12-15-2009 12:53 AM Phelan was going to his own. He would never admit to having enjoyed himself; he rarely played with the cubs cuz it reminded him of the one he'd lost, but this time it had been easier. Ooc: Going to bed now, bye! spirit_queen 12-15-2009 12:54 AM Taka had forgotten about that; she hadn't meant to, but she had. But, had she known the effect playing the cubshad on Phelan, she would have been very glad for him, indeed. Sarah_K_O_M 12-15-2009 10:21 AM Quote: Originally Posted by Miranda_ (Post 884947) "Maybe I could change into my human form, then you could hug me," Kasa said. Aldo shrugged. "Hey, sure. As long as you don't get into trouble for it." Miranda_ 12-15-2009 01:14 PM "My master's at work right now and he won't be back for ages." Kasa changed to her human shape; that of a slim girl with long red hair and blue eyes. She wore a pink dress and ballet pumps. Sarah_K_O_M 12-15-2009 05:24 PM Aldo did a double-take, obviously a little surprised. He composed himself. "You, uh, you, look nice." he said. He shook his head to clear his thoughts then took several steps back, did a run up and jumped. He grabbed the top of the fence then jumped down to her side. He took a little bow. "I love doing that." he remarked, walking over to her. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:15 PM Back at the camp, Raoul crept in; he'd gone out secretly to look for food and had found something else. "Rika?" spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:18 PM Rika looked up from her work to Raoul. "Hmmm hat is it?" She asked. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:21 PM He held out a few flowers; there had been more. Raoul had been foraging in an alleyway when a woman had stormed by in a bit of a rage and thrown a bouquet of tulips at him, screaming something about her boyfriend trying to make up for something. He didn't quite get it, but he figured Rika might like the flowers, anyway. Not like he could find food; the dumpsters he'd checked were empty. spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:25 PM Rika gasped and hr dark eyeswent wide. "Aww, Raoul, these are absolutely beautiful!", she exclaimed taking them gently. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:26 PM "Thanks." Raoul smiled, blushing a little. "I-I found them and I thought you'd like them, maybe." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:28 PM Rika set the flowers down with care, then flung her arms around Raoul. "They're wonderful!" Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:30 PM Raoul hugged her back, smiling happily. "I'm glad you like them then!" He kissed her cheek and swung her around a bit. spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:35 PM Rika 'eep'ed in surprise, then giggled as he swung her around. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:38 PM "You doing alright up here, then?" spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:40 PM "Huh? You mean in the city? It's bearable..." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:42 PM "Yeah." He sat down, wincing; his leg had begun to hurt, he'd walked probably a bit too much. spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:45 PM "Do your leg hurt?" Rika asked; she'd noticed the way he winced and the way he'd slowly sat down, and had taken that to mean that his leg hurt. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:46 PM "Yeah. It's just sore, moving around too much I think." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:48 PM Rika shook her head. "You keep pushing yourself too far; take it easy until I tell you otherwise, okay? If you can't quickly find food, then come back; don't keep searching and searching, alright? I want you to heal, Raoul." Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:49 PM "I -am- resting. Besides, it doesn't hurt as bad as it usually does." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:54 PM "Are you sure?" Rika asked, her voice full of obvious concern. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:55 PM "Honest, Rika." He tucked some of her hair behind an ear. "I think it'll be better in about a week." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 10:57 PM "I hope so; I don't like the thought that you're in any pain." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 10:58 PM "Shh." He tapped her nose with a smile. "I'll be fine." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:03 PM Rika took his hand and laced her fingers with his. She giggled and said "Oh, Raoul, life would be so boring without you around." Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:03 PM "Naah, things would be just as always even if I wasn't here." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:16 PM "not for me." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:16 PM "Maybe." He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her cheek again. "Things would be boring for me without you here, Rika." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:19 PM "Do you really mean that?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:23 PM "I mean it, Rika." spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:27 PM Rika kissed Raoul's cheek, wrapped her arms around him, and then rested her head on his shulder. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:31 PM Raoul wrapped both his arms around her and rested his head on hers, wondering just why 'the madness' wasn't really allowed. It meant that he had someone to protect, right? spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:35 PM Rika partially understood the reason it was forbidden, and, yet, she also knew that it wasn't quite as bad and damaging as she'd been taught. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:38 PM After a little while, it was obvious Raoul had fallen asleep. spirit_queen 12-15-2009 11:41 PM Rika smiled and tucked somed of Raoul's hair behind his ear, then managed to jutbarely pic him up. XD She made for hs tent, straining to hold up his weight, and evetually got there without completely collapsing. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:48 PM ".. Need any help?" One of the vigilante girls blinked. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:03 AM.

"I, uh, yeah..." Miranda_ 12-15-2009 11:54 PM Kasa hugged Aldo. She wanted to have at least that, even if it was hopeless to expect anything else. Sarah_K_O_M 12-15-2009 11:55 PM Aldo hugged her back then slipped his arm down until he had his arm around her waist. He idly stroked her hair with the other hand. Silent_Wolf 12-15-2009 11:57 PM She giggled and grabbed Raoul's other arm. "So, what, are you kidnapping him?" She winked. Miranda_ 12-15-2009 11:59 PM Kasa leaned against Aldo. She wanted this moment to last as long as possible. spirit_queen 12-16-2009 12:00 AM Rika had a gigglig fit and managed to shake her head, but nothing else; she couldn't stop giggling. Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 12:01 AM After a while Aldo spoke. "You know, you're a really nice height. For holding." Silent_Wolf 12-16-2009 12:03 AM "Suuure." The girl laughed and helped Rika put Raoul in his tent. spirit_queen 12-16-2009 12:05 AM Rika set him down. "S-s-rry... giggling- nervous habbit-" She giggled some more. Miranda_ 12-16-2009 12:06 AM "Am I?" Kasa replied. "I never noticed." Silent_Wolf 12-16-2009 12:07 AM "It's fine." She smiled. spirit_queen 12-16-2009 12:09 AM "Thank you." Rika managed with a smile. Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 12:10 AM "You are. To me anyway. It's really nice." Aldo said, still holding her. He was silent for a second before something clicked into place in his mind with an almost audible clink. He tilted his head then kissed her gently. Miranda_ 12-16-2009 12:13 AM Kasa almost gasped with surprise; she pulled herself together in time to kiss Aldo back. Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 12:15 AM Aldo held her even closer and kissed her deeply before pulling apart. He looked a little confused. "Well, that was unexpected. Why did we just do that?" Miranda_ 12-16-2009 12:32 AM "I have no idea. But it was nice." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 08:10 AM "Yeah, it was...." Aldo trailed off, looking up at the sky. "Look, uh, If you're thinking what I'm thinking... It probably wouldn't be a good idea. I mean, we could both get hurt and it's bound to end badly... It's not that I don't want to or anything. I mean, I like talking to you...." he kinda trailed off, not really sure where he was going. Miranda_ 12-16-2009 02:24 PM Kasa sighed heavily. "I know it won't work out. I'm not allowed to have dates or anything like that, my master wouldn't allow it." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 06:03 PM "I think the pack would kill me for being a traitor. They already think I'm nuts." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 08:57 PM "Then don't tell them. And why do they think that?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 09:01 PM "They think I act human." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 09:12 PM "Well," said Kasa. "You do walk like one. The other canines walk differently." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 09:25 PM "It's to blend in, so I can buy things we can't scavenge. And not all the time." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 09:26 PM "If you don't mind me asking, where do you get the money?" Kasa asked. Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 09:31 PM "I'm good with my hands." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 09:46 PM "They can't know you're a canine, then." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 09:48 PM "Of course not. It's helpful though. I've had this coat for years," he tweaked the collar, "And it's still in good shape. Can't scavenge clothes like that." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 10:19 PM "Some canines steal them." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 10:20 PM "I wasn't raised like that. I could if I wanted to, but it's not appealing." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 10:27 PM "I can hardly remember my mother," said Kasa. "I don't condemn her for giving me up. She probably didn't have any choice." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 10:30 PM "My parents were crazy. They did strange things. Miss them though." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 10:38 PM "I wish I'd known my mother for longer." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 10:42 PM "It's stuff like this that makes me think we'd all be better off if the humans all died." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 11:04 PM "No. Not all humans are bad. That's just as bad as the humans who you hate for killing canines, to wish them all dead." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 11:09 PM "Without humans my parents would be alive. You'd know your mother. Sharama's pack wouldn't have been attacked, her friends murdered. The cubs there wouldn't have been stolen. Just because they can be good doesn't mean that they haven't had an awful effect, and they're rarely good to canines anyway. I want peace between both, but I'm not blind." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 11:20 PM "You won't get it by attacking and killing them." Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 11:25 PM "I don't want to. It'd be better if they died, but we'd probably be just as bad as them if we murdered them as well. You know the most pathetic thing though? There's really no reason for any of it." Aldo said morosely. "It's all just a pointless fight over some imagined difference. Some illusionary line between person and animal. It's sad." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 11:31 PM "We're not so different to them, not really," Kasa said, sadly. Sarah_K_O_M 12-16-2009 11:35 PM "Not so different? We're exactly the same. Sure, we have a second form, but that's almost incidental. There's no human behaviour that cannot be fully replicated by a canine. I know that for a fact. All that has to be done is a little change in posture, little less prowl and voila. Instant human, and no one can tell the difference. If I wanted I could live as a human, I could probably even own pets. It's that f*cking easy." Miranda_ 12-16-2009 11:39 PM "So you think that all canines should pretend to be human in order to gain acceptance? Isn't that just missing the point entirely?" All times are GMT.

Aldo rolled his eyes. "Stop twisting my words." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 12:30 AM "Pretty much what you just said." Sarah_K_O_M 12-19-2009 12:51 AM "No, it's not. It's practically the bloody opposite. Why would I want all canines to act human? It doens;t even make sense in context." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 01:01 AM "Yet you do; any particular reason for that?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-19-2009 01:03 AM "Just how I am. But if I can do it, and it's so easy, why the f*ck do humans act like everyone is so opposite?" Miranda_ 12-19-2009 01:22 AM "How should I know? Maybe you should ask them." Sarah_K_O_M 12-19-2009 01:23 AM "And get shot? No thanks. Chances are they just like the money." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 01:41 AM "And having power over us," Kasa said, rolling her eyes. "I have to change back; my master will be home soon." She took her canine shape once more. Sarah_K_O_M 12-19-2009 01:43 AM Aldo stooped down. "I'll see you then." he said then reached his hand out curiously and scratched behind her ears. Miranda_ 12-19-2009 01:50 AM "Come and talk to me again soon." Sarah_K_O_M 12-19-2009 07:22 PM "I'll do my best." he said, still petting her. "You're quite nice to pet, you know." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 08:29 PM "Thanks. You're nice to hug." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:16 PM *elsewhere* Sinopa was patrolling with Rusty. Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:20 PM Rusty was really starting to feel a connection with Sinopa. He'd never felt this way about a girl before. Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:21 PM Sinopa was really starting to like Rusty as well. ".. So, um." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:25 PM Rusty half turned. "What?" Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:27 PM ".. Is this patrol about over for the night?" Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:28 PM "Pretty much," Rusty replied. "We just need to complete this circuit, then Hunter and Lupe take over." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:29 PM "And Raven's probably sleeping off that bellyache. I told him not to eat that steak he found." -_- Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:39 PM "So did I," Rusty said. "It was green." O_o Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:39 PM "I think he's colorblind." O_o Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:46 PM "Dippy, more like. He's always been that way." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:47 PM "Can't really blame him, he's been on his own since he was a cub. I mean, he had you guys, I think, but I don't think that's ever really taught him how to behave. Or he's just naturally goofy. Just like how Phelan acts like a natural ar'se but then does a complete three sixty and helps the Vigilantes out after kicking one out." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:52 PM "There must have been some reason why he did that," said Rusty. "Just like how Crevan doesn't like pets; his brother became one. His mother had to choose between them as to which one to give up so they'd both live, and she naturally chose his brother to give up cuz he was a prettier colour. Doesn't matter as far as being a guard goes, but does for pets." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:53 PM "Might've been because the humans stole cubs off the Vigilantes. Phelan was really upset about losing a cub before it was born. Might've had something to do with it." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 09:59 PM "That might also be the reason for the outbreaks of temper," Rusty said. "The humans give female guards and pets pills in their food, that stops them from having cubs. It's a shame you can't get some for the renegades." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 09:59 PM "... Wait, you mean that's in my food too?" O_o Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:05 PM "Of course." Rusty looked surprised. "I thought you knew." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:09 PM "No. Though it explains why it tastes so funny." She blinked. "And I've been giving it to the cubs?!" Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:10 PM "No, it's not in the biscuits or anything that you're giving away. Only in the main food that goes in your bowl. It wouldn't do them any harm, anyway." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:11 PM "Whew. I was scared for a second." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:15 PM "It's not a bad thing, tho. It stops us going thru the hell that the renegades go thru; either having cubs die or having to give them up." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:27 PM "Yeah." Sinopa looked upset. Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:32 PM "I should have told you; I just assumed you already knew. Sorry." They were back at the shed by now. Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:33 PM "It's not what's upsetting me, though." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:39 PM "What is, then? We can talk in private here." Lupe went with Hunter on patrol the moment that Rusty arrived at the shed with Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:41 PM Raven just stayed curled up in his corner. Poor guy. XD Sinopa changed back to her human form and twiddled her fingers. ".. My sister lost her cub a few years ago. Then she had another one, and it lived, but she had to give it up. It pretty much tore her apart and she ran away. I never saw her again." She crossed her arms uncomfortably. "It doesn't bother me anymore. I just don't talk about it. 'sides, Phel would probably think of her what he thinks of me. A stupid traitor." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:44 PM "That's awful. Do you know where she went?" Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 10:47 PM "No. I tried to track her down but her scent just went 'fffft' and disappeared. Sometimes I think I catch her scent but it's not her, it's somebody else." She sat down, sighing. "I've gotten used to it. I wonder sometimes if maybe she hasn't gone to another city somewhere." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 10:50 PM "It's possible. Does your friend know about what happened?" All times are GMT. The time now is 12:03 AM.

It was before I really got to know him." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:03 PM "Do you know much about him?" Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:04 PM "Nothing except his mom raised him to trust nobody but himself." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:14 PM "There's your answer, then. Of course, Lupe was raised in a similar way, but her personality's different from your friend's." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:18 PM "Because he took it to heart. She's learned to trust people. I don't think Phelan ever did." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:26 PM "There's still time. Of course, he could always find a mate. That might put him in a better temper." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:29 PM "Pft, then they'll wind up with a cub and if they lose it he'll never look at her again. It's like what's going on with his current girlfriend." Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:38 PM "There's always those pills. They sell them in human shops." Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:39 PM "And none of us act human enough." She sighed, then asked in a very small voice, "Can I have a hug please?" Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:46 PM "Sure," said Rusty. "You'll have to change to your human shape, tho." He changed to his. Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:49 PM Sinopa changed to hers and hugged Rusty. "Thanks," she mumbled. Miranda_ 12-19-2009 11:55 PM Rusty held Sinopa for a while. Then he kissed her. Silent_Wolf 12-19-2009 11:56 PM Sinopa was surprised, but kissed him back. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 12:04 AM Eventually, they drew apart. "Sorry," Rusty said. "But I've been wanting to do that for ages." Silent_Wolf 12-20-2009 12:05 AM "I'm glad you finally did." Sinopa smiled and hugged him again. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 12:11 AM Rusty smiled and held Sinopa closer to him. *later* Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:06 AM Aldo was at the camp, sitting down and thinking. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:14 AM Phelan was sitting down nearby; his leg was starting to hurt again. Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:16 AM Aldo looked up. "You okay?" Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:17 AM "Not really. My leg hurts." Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:18 AM Aldo started rooting through his pockets for some painkillers. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:25 AM "I need to be able to go and forage for the cubs later." Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:27 AM "Which you won;t be able to do if you're in pain." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:33 AM "Exactly; not for my sake, but for the sake of the cubs." Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:33 AM Aldo found him a few painkillers and passed them over. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:40 AM Phelan took them with water and sat back against the wall waiting for them to work. Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 01:44 AM "Things are so weird." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 01:48 AM "What do you mean, weird?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 02:01 AM "Just... Weird. Do you think I'm a freak?" Miranda_ 12-20-2009 02:07 AM "Yeah, but only cuz you hardly ever take your canine shape and cuz you act like a human most of the time." Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 02:11 AM "I don't try to, you know." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 02:13 AM "Which makes you even more of a weirdo." Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 02:17 AM Aldo looked miserable. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 02:21 AM "Just accept it, and remember that it could be worse. A lot worse." Ooc: Going to bed now, bye! Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 02:39 AM "I'm sure." he muttered. spirit_queen 12-20-2009 12:16 PM Taka chgose to come over at that moment. "Hello, Aldo! Hello, Phel." She said with a big grin. Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 02:48 PM "Hey, Taka. How's it going?" spirit_queen 12-20-2009 05:54 PM "Pretty well, thank you. And you? And Sharama? Did you bring me a tea packet?" XD Her new obsession was tea. Sarah_K_O_M 12-20-2009 06:22 PM Aldo tossed her a few. "Here you go. Different kinds as well. But yeah, I'm good, so's Sharama." spirit_queen 12-20-2009 09:39 PM Taka squealed and clutched the little bags with delight. XD "When you go back, will you tell her that I say hi?" she paused. "Phel?" All times are GMT. The time now is 12:03 AM.

Phelan looked at her. spirit_queen 12-20-2009 09:50 PM "Um, um, would I be right in that your leg is bothering you?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 10:13 PM "It'll be fine soon," Phelan said. "Aldo gave me something to stop it hurting." spirit_queen 12-20-2009 10:14 PM "Are you sure? I can check it if you want, to make sure it's healing properly. I can also apply a salve that will encourage and speed up healing." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 10:20 PM "You can if you like," Phelan said, diffidently. spirit_queen 12-20-2009 10:21 PM "Um okay, wait here while I get my stuff." Taka said,, rising and heading for her tent. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 10:26 PM Phelan just stayed where he was. spirit_queen 12-20-2009 10:29 PM Taka soon returned with some wrap and a little bowl of salve. "Okay, can I see your wound?" Miranda_ 12-20-2009 10:54 PM Wordlessly, Phelan rolled up the leg of his jeans to show Takaia the wound. It was bandaged, but the bandages were already coming loose. spirit_queen 12-20-2009 10:59 PM "These are dirty and should be removed." Taka said aloud. It was mostly to herself, but also for Phelan so that he'd kno what she was about to do. She quickly removed the bandages, then examined the wound. "It doesn't look like it's infectedor anything, whic is good, and is pretty clean... I think I'll just apply the save, then." She dipped her fingers into the bowl, which held a thick, opaque light green, mint-scented gel, and then gently dabbed some of the gel onto Phelan's wound. After that, she wound the wrap around Phel's leg and used a safety pin she'd found to fasten it. "Okay,t his should stay on better than the bandages you already ad on. Your leg is healing well, but it wouldn' urt to let e check up on it in a few days to make sure it stays on that, er, path." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 11:04 PM "I guess so," Phelan replied. "I don't really think about that kind of thing." spirit_queen 12-20-2009 11:06 PM "I'll remin you, then, okay?" Taka said. "I'm a healer, it's what I do." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 11:25 PM "Alright. I need to go and get food later; want to come?" spirit_queen 12-20-2009 11:29 PM "Sure." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 11:39 PM "Mostly will be roadkill, with an occasional live squirrel. The humans don't clean it up off their roads, so why can't we have it?" spirit_queen 12-20-2009 11:43 PM "As long as we don't try to take the ones squished into the road itself; I don't feel like scraping it up, especially i fthere's a possibility of those evil car things coming; they scare me." Miranda_ 12-20-2009 11:45 PM "I was thinking of the ones that the cars hit, but are intact and end up on the side of the road. Easy to take." spirit_queen 12-20-2009 11:47 PM "Okay, good." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-20-2009 11:54 PM "It takes less effort than hunting and we get more from it," said Phelan. "Hunting in the parks is difficult cuz there's loads of renegades doing exactly the same thing and there isn't enough prey to support them all. But the roads have enough for everyone to have some." spirit_queen 12-20-2009 11:57 PM "Are we going now?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:21 AM "Yeah; might as well. Bring a bag." spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:22 AM "Okay, I'll get you one, too." Taka said, standing once more and heading for the tents. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:35 AM Phelan got up and stood there, waiting. He never would have admitted it to anyone, but he was starting to like Takaia a lot. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:38 AM Ooc: <3 Taka found two bags and came back, wondering over when her strange fascination with Phel and his odd behavior had morphed into madness. She wouldn't dare admit it; she wasn't as strong as Rika when it came to that, and was afraid of the consequences that would come with admitting it. so she decided she'd just keep quiet. She came to her decision just as she reached Phel, and she held out one of the bags to him. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:41 AM He took the bag, brushing her fingers with his for a second or two longer than was necessary. Phelan then abruptly turned, saying to Takaia, "We go this way." spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:43 AM "Okay; you lead, because I still haven't got a hag of the maze of streets yet." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:46 AM Phelan took Takaia to a busy main road, telling her to keep with him at all times. The side of the road was littered with corpses of small animals. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:49 AM taka jumpedwhen a large van came a bit too close to the curb and the tires squealed as it rouded the corner. Even a minute or two after it had gone, Taka's eyes were still big and round with shock. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:55 AM Phelan didn't react at all, being used to the cars. He said to Takaia, "Just ignore them. They won't stop; I don't think they're allowed to do that on this road. That's why we can pick up the roadkill like this here." He started to pick up the dead animals and put them in his bag. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:58 AM Taka shook herself, sighed, then began to do the same. She tried to make sure she didn't take any that looked overly rotten or had maggots. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:06 AM Phelan took the same care. When his bag was full, he waited for Takaia to finish. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:10 AM Taka picked up a squirrel by the tail, and it suddenly started thrashing. Taka jumped, then slammed the thing against the sidewalk and, to be sure it was dead, grabbed it and broke its neck. Tka giggled sheepishly. "Um, well, we know that one will be fresh..." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:11 AM Phelan smiled. "Yeah, that happens with squirrels sometimes. They play dead." spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:15 AM Ooc: O_o He SMILED! =O Taka giggled. "Well, it's cerrtainly dead now." Taka said, lifting the squirrel and showing that its neck was turned at an unnatural angle. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:20 AM "That helps when you want to eat it, for it to be dead. We'd better get back to the camp, now." Ooc: For the first time. XD spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:21 AM aka smiled and placed the squirrelin her bag "You lead the way."she privatey thought that Phel had a nice smile and shold smile more often. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:25 AM Phelan led the way back to the camp. The weather was slightly warmer than the previous day, and a lot of the inhabitants were out of their tents. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:26 AM Taka was tempted to skip, but decided against it; she didn't know whethor or not hel would appreciate it if his companion was skipping. XD Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:31 AM Probably not. XD Phelan handed out food to the cubs, and also to a couple of female renegades who were expecting cubs. Neither was by him, but he still felt that he would hate for another cub to be lost. He took two squirrels and a pigeon for himself. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:33 AM Taka gave some to those who were still covering from severe injuries from when the humanshd invaded the foest, then kept a baby rabbit for herself. She knew that rabbits were ostly bone, and so had saved it for herself; h had a tendencyu to give the cubs and the wounded the best selections. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:03 AM.

He'd anticipated Takaia doing this, so had taken an extra squirrel. He passed it to her, looking at her in a way as to dare her to make a big deal out of it. spirit_queen 12-21-2009 01:38 AM Taka looked at the squirrel a moment, then took it and offered Phel a bright smile. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 11:31 AM "No point in starving yourself," Phelan said, gruffly. "Not when you need to stay good to forage." He started to eat his own food. *later* Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 11:42 AM Sinopa had fallen asleep. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 11:55 AM Rusty was curled up next to her. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 11:59 AM They're so cute. XD Sinopa started kicking; she was dreaming of chasing a very large rabbit. Though, this quickly turned into a nightmare when the rabbit, initially a brown one, turned into a very big, white, red-eyed and long-fanged rabbit and started chasing HER. She immediately woke up with a yelp. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:09 PM Rusty woke up, too. "What's the matter?" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:09 PM "I think I've officially been put off rabbit. I dreamed I was chasing a nice fat one, then it started chasing ME." O_O Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:16 PM "That was just a dream, tho." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:28 PM "Yeah." She put her head back down, snuffling. "Still freaked me out." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:37 PM Rusty was about to reply, then pri'cked up his ears as a few short, sharp barks came to them. "That's Lupe; that's the signal that she and Hunter have found an intruder," he said. "We have to go to where they are." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:38 PM "After you." Sinopa got up and stretched. Raven got up as well but walked to the area. XD He still can't feel his feet after being sick. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:42 PM Rusty followed Lupe's barks to the other side, where she was standing along with Hunter. As soon as she could see that all the other guards were there, Lupe stopped barking so they could see the intruder. It was a small white fox, obviously a pet; it wore a collar with a chain that was broken at one end. It cowered to the ground, obviously frightened. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:44 PM "How did it get in here?" Sinopa sniffed the air. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:49 PM "There's a small dip in the fence; it must have squeezed under it," said Lupe. "Well, no matter; it came in, so it can go out again or be torn to pieces." She took a step forward, her teeth bared. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:49 PM "Stop, Lupe!" Sinopa jumped in front of her. "He's scared!" spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:49 PM Hunter stood at alert, lowly growling, hackles raised, and tail held high in a territorial mner; he wasn't barking aymore, as he saw that the intruder had more or less submitted. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:51 PM It was true; the pet was nearly fainting with terror. Lupe rolled her eyes. "He wasn't scared to come in here, was he?" she said. "No-one is allowed in here without Everett's permission. Without it, we can chase them out." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:53 PM "He's a pet for pete's sake, I doubt they're taught not to go into places like this!" spirit_queen 12-21-2009 12:54 PM Hunter personally would just let the pet go with a warning; it was petty obvious that the fox would be too scared to do it again. But, yet, he couldn't defy Lupe, who was Alpha. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 12:57 PM "If you can't hack it here, then leave," sneered Lupe. "Your choice; leave, or stand aside and let me do my job." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 12:59 PM "Fine!" Sinopa snapped her teeth, before grabbing the pet by the neck and darting down along the fence. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:04 PM Lupe launched herself after Sinopa with a snarl. She would have sunk her teeth into Sinopa's back if Rusty hadn't intervened. "Let them go, Lupe," he said. "It's better this way." He watched Sinopa leave with a heavy heart. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 01:07 PM Sinopa changed into her human form and carried the pet under an arm so she could climb over the fences easier. Dammit, it's not worth it in there. She glanced back, already missing Rusty, but headed to the river. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:12 PM The pet's name was Todd. He was too frightened to move at first, then once they were away from the junkyard, he began to struggle. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 01:13 PM "Stop moving, I'm taking you somewhere safe." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:14 PM "Put me down! I can walk by myself!" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 01:15 PM "I figure as much, but just hold on for awhile. You don't want to end up in a place like that again, do you?" Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:20 PM "I didn't know it was a bad place. I just wanted someplace to hide up for a while, in case anyone was looking at me." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 01:23 PM "Well, when some place has double fences and reeks of guard dogs, you don't go in." She sighed. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:28 PM "I didn't see anyone and there wasn't anyone stopping me at first." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 01:39 PM "Do you think the world is your oyster?" Miranda_ 12-21-2009 01:53 PM "Why shouldn't it be?" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 02:07 PM "Out here, away from your safe little home, it's every canine for themselves. You're lucky you weren't mangled by a renegade." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 02:14 PM "I don't know anything about it," said Todd, sulkily. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 02:14 PM "Well, you're gonna learn." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 02:19 PM "You're not taking me back to where I escaped from. I escaped for a reason, you know." spirit_queen 12-21-2009 02:26 PM Rika, who'd been searching for food, saw Sinopa. "Hey, don't I know you?" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 07:37 PM "I don't know if I do." To Todd, she said, "Considering you were foolish enough to walk into a junkyard full of guards, I wouldn't take you back." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 07:47 PM Todd growled. "If you're just going to be like that, maybe I'll just bite you. You never even asked me what my name is, or where I came from. It's all just about you." This of course was rank hypocrisy. XD Todd was very self centred. This wasn't entirely his fault; his first owner had been a fussy old lady who'd spoiled him, and given him everything he'd wanted. When she'd died, his next owner had had small children and Todd hadn't liked that at all. He'd bitten the children, and his new owner had retaliated by chaining him outside to a kennel. Todd had eventually pulled the chain loose and run away. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:03 AM.

She snarled. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 07:55 PM "She looked like she was going to do the same to you, so there." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 07:57 PM "It's her job. You should be grateful I even bothered yanking your ass out of there." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:11 PM "Well, sor-ree I put you out." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:17 PM "I was going to end up leaving anyway, Lupe would'a had Everett tan my hide for defying her." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:21 PM "Why were you working there anyway if you didn't want to do the work?" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:29 PM "I didn't think we'd be ripping scared things limb from limb like that." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:31 PM "So don't blame me for not knowing things, then. You don't know everything." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:32 PM "We didn't do anything up til you showed up." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:40 PM "Then don't bother looking after me any more. I can look after myself." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:41 PM "No. You're a pet and you don't know a thing about how things go on out here." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:44 PM Todd sulked. He refused to say a single word more. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:48 PM "You were spoiled, that much is obvious." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 08:56 PM "What would you know about anything?" Todd snapped back. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 08:56 PM "Buddy, I'm a renegade. Now shut up or I'm throwing you down gutter and leaving you for a renegade to rip to shreds." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:18 PM "I'll bite you before you do that, so at least I'll have that." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:20 PM "I'm bigger than you, now shut up or I'm tying your muzzle shut." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:27 PM "Fine, then copy the humans if you love them so much. That's what my old owners did when I bit their daughter cuz she was pulling my ears and tail." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:28 PM "You know what, go rot!" She dropped him right then and continued walking. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:33 PM Todd just stared after her. He hadn't thought she'd actually leave him behind. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:34 PM Sinopa rounded a corner and stopped, wondering if he'd come after her. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:34 PM After a few minutes, Todd crept round the corner. He was shivering. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:36 PM Sinopa sighed and picked him up, scratching him behind an ear. "God, you're so pathetic. Come on, let's go." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:44 PM "I didn't think you'd actually drop me." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:45 PM "If I wasn't as nice as I am, I would've thrown you. Or bit you, or threatened to rip your head off. But, I'm not temperamental." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:53 PM "I'm not, either. I just don't like human kids." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 09:55 PM "I figured as much. Change to your human form, it'll be easier on you and me both." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 09:58 PM "Oh, alright. Put me down first, tho." Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 10:01 PM So Sinopa put him down. Miranda_ 12-21-2009 10:04 PM Todd changed from his white fox shape into the form of a thirteen year old boy with silver blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing black clothes, that were certainly not at all practical; the shirt was made from velvet and the trousers were thin cotton. His shoes were black trainers. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 10:20 PM Sinopa took his collar off and noticed the name tag on it. "You're Todd then? I'm Sinopa." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 10:23 PM "Hi," Todd said. "Where are we going?" Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 10:52 PM "Just follow me." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 10:54 PM Todd did just that. Tho he was trying not to show it, he was nervous. Silent_Wolf 12-21-2009 10:55 PM "Relax. I can't take you right into the camp, but I know a really nice place nearby that you can stay in. It's warm, at least." Miranda_ 12-21-2009 11:00 PM "Will anyone be able to find me there?" Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 10:55 AM "Nope." She smiled. Miranda_ 12-22-2009 10:11 PM "Will you tell anyone that I'm there?" Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 10:13 PM "Not at first. I'll bring you food and stuff. And better clothes." She wrinkled her nose. "No offense." Miranda_ 12-22-2009 10:27 PM "What do you mean? What's wrong with my clothes?" All times are GMT. The time now is 12:04 AM.

Miranda_ 12-22-2009 10:48 PM Todd was shivering; however, he stubbornly refused to agree that his clothes were unsuitable. Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 10:49 PM "If you want to freeze, fine, but if you get sick you're going back to your owner because we don't have the medication for you." Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:04 PM "I'm not going back and you can't make me." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:06 PM "Yes I can. I'm awesome like that." She was being clearly sarcastic. Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:11 PM "You don't even know where I used to live." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:11 PM "I'll sniff you out." Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:16 PM "You couldn't. The whole city would be full of loads of different scents. You'd never find mine in a million years." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:17 PM "... I'll still find you," she lied. XD Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:18 PM "Sure you would." Todd looked smug. Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:19 PM "Grr!" She grabbed him in a headlock that was loose enough for him to wriggle out of. "You're so childish." Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:23 PM Todd wriggled free and stuck his tongue out at Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:24 PM She stuck her tongue out back. XD Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:27 PM "If I'm childish, then so are you!" Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:28 PM "If the boot fits!" Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:31 PM "You're older than me, tho." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:32 PM "So?" She turned up her nose. Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:37 PM "That makes you more childish by far." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:38 PM "And proooud, thank you!" Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:41 PM Todd just rolled his eyes. "How much further do we have to walk?" he said. "My feet hurt." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:41 PM "Waaah." Sinopa sniffed the air. Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:49 PM Todd scowled at her. "My feet really do hurt." Silent_Wolf 12-22-2009 11:49 PM Sinopa picked him up and slung him over her shoulder. "Better?" Miranda_ 12-22-2009 11:59 PM "No! Put me down! I don't want you carrying me like that!" He kicked at her back. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:00 AM "Cut it out, kid, you don't want to walk and I don't want to listen to you whining about it." She put him down. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:13 AM "I just want to get to this place so I can sit down. I never walked so far in my entire life." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:18 AM "You're gonna have to get used to it." Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:22 AM "I won't ever get used to my feet hurting." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:28 AM "You'll adapt to walking a lot, I mean." Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:30 AM "I doubt it. Where would I walk to?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:31 AM "..." Sinopa was drawing a blank. XD Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:39 AM "See? You can't think of anywhere." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:39 AM "The dumpster." Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:51 AM "Why would I walk there?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:52 AM "Food." She shrugged. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 12:57 AM "Why would I want to eat food from a dumpster?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 12:26 PM "Well, we can't really get it from a high class fancy restaurant." Meanwhile, Raoul was lazing around in his vulpine form. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 01:02 PM Rika, also in her dark-furred vulpine form, saw him there. I wonder... she thought to herself. then, slowly, she walked past Raoul, fluttering her lashes and swaying her hips. her tail brushed by his face, and she paused to give Raoul a surprisingly sultry look. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 01:07 PM When her tail brushed hsi face, Raoul went completely goo-goo-eyes and he even rolled over when she gave him that look. "Wooww." Awww! XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 01:12 PM Rika chuckled a deep, throaty chuckle. She lifted her right paw and managed to use one claw to motion for him to follow, then continued to walk forward, her tail brushing by him once more. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:04 AM.

There she paused and licked her tail, pretending to ignore him. But then she shot him with another sultry look, her dark eyes twinkling even in that shadowed space. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 01:28 PM Raoul sat down next to her, feeling his heart pounding. "Y-You're really pretty today, Rika." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 01:31 PM "Do you think so?" Rika asked, fluttering her lashes and peeking over her shoulder. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 01:40 PM He nodded, unable to think of anything else to say. "Uh huh." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 01:47 PM Rika chuckled, then leaned forward so that her face was mere millimeters away from Raoul's. She l'cked his cheek, which was thhe canine equivalent of a kiss on the cheek. "You're so sweet." Rika said in a deep, throaty, sexy voice. Rika knew she was acting very unusual; normally she was the sweet type, the kind of girl who would giggle and blush if a guy gave her attention the way Raoul was. But today something came over her, and she wanted to try this approach. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 01:49 PM Raoul rubbed the side of his face with a paw, feeling slightly flustered. Rika didn't usually act like this, and it surprised him. He's so confused. XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 01:51 PM Rika giggled, then licked him on the mouth this time. XD Was it obvious that she was enjoying this? Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:04 PM Yes. XD Raoul licked her on the muzzle as well, still apparently flustered. He was also doing the goo-goo eyes again. :lol: spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:06 PM Rika turned her head to the side and fluttered her lashes coyly. But it was getting harder to continue to do this; now she just wanted to hug Raoul and tell him how cute he was being. XD Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:07 PM XD Raoul tilted his head, apparently puzzled. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:12 PM Suddenly, Rika just lost it and tackled Raoul to the ground. XD "Oh, Raoul, you're so adorable!" Gone was the throaty, sultry voice, replaced by her normal one. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:13 PM "Oof!" Raoul licked her muzzle, grinning in his vulpine way. "Glad you think so. Er, what were you doing?" He wasn't bothered by how she'd been acting, he'd rather liked it. XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:19 PM "Um, experimenting, I guess; I wanted to see how you'd react if I acted like that..." Rika said. She rolled off him and was now beside him. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:19 PM "It was cute." He rolled over onto his side. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:20 PM "I'll tell you what was cute." Rika said with a giggle. "Those goo-goo eyes you were giving me." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:25 PM "Nuh uh, that wasn't cute." He looked embarrassed. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:27 PM "Yes it was!" Rika said, grinning an open-mouthed canine grin. "Here, let me demonstrate..." she cleared her throat and calmed herself, then stared at Raoul with the same goo-goo eyes he'd given her earlier, letting her jaw drop just a bit. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:28 PM "..Okay, okay, you win." He rubbed his nose against hers. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:29 PM Rika giggled. "One disadvantage in this form: we have no lips, so it's sorta hard to kiss." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:30 PM "Yeah." He sighed. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:32 PM Rika shook her head. "Didn't catch the hint, did you?" She licked his cheek. "I meant we can take out human forms, you goof." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:33 PM "Oh." He stuck his tongue out at her and changed. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:41 PM Rika giggled and changed too, sticking out her now human tongue out at him. "Not my fault your'e still too goo-goo to take much of a hint... er, wait... I guess that is my fault." XD Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:43 PM "I don't mind." He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:45 PM "Really? You liked my lil' act?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:47 PM He nodded, blushing a bit. "Yeah." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:51 PM Rika giggled. "I don't know what came over me, I just- I don't know... felt like flirting." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 02:53 PM "I was wondering what you were up to." He smiled. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 02:58 PM "You were so cute, though!" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:01 PM "You were, too." He played with her hair. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:02 PM Rika blushed and giggled. Yup, she was back to normal. XD Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:10 PM He hugged her with an arm. "Anything in particular you want to do today? I found some food nearby and brought it back. I didn't even hurt myself doing it." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:15 PM Rika kissed his cheek. "Good. I don't know what to do... but, um, how's your leg? May I check it?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:15 PM "Sure." He pulled up the leg on his jeans. "It's starting to feel a lot better." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:18 PM Rika carefully examined it. "It looks much, much better; you're about healed. Just, you know, avoid scratching it or getting it very dirty, okay?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:22 PM "Yes, doc." He smiled. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:23 PM "That's right! I'm the doc, and I'm in charge!" Rika said, puffing up and trying to look superior. she was obviously kidding around. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:24 PM Raoul laughed and leaned up a bit to kiss her. "Of course, dear." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:25 PM Sadly, Rika melted into his arms with just that one kiss.

He kissed the top of her head and held her close. "It's cute." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:28 PM "Kinda sad, huh? I have to do all that work to make you melt, but all it takes for you to do the same to me is a kiss." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:29 PM "I'm sure you'll figure something out." He patted her on the head. XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:30 PM "Ooh! I got it!" Rika said, sitting up. "Music! I bet you that I can make you melt with this song I heard." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:32 PM "Oh really?" He raised an eyebrow. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:39 PM Rika got a wicked grin. "Yup! Do you want me to start?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:41 PM He nodded and settled back on his elbows. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:45 PM Rika cleared her throat and hummed a bit to warm up, then began to sing Christine's part from the Phantom of the Opera's "Past the Point of No Return". Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:49 PM As Rika sang, Raoul's jaw just completely dropped. He was melting. XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 03:54 PM As the song got to the chorus, Rika got louder, once again gave Raoul sultry looks. XD Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 03:57 PM His jaw dropped more. XD "W-Wow, Rika." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:02 PM On the last line she'd get to sing, "We've passed the point of no return", Rika wrapped her arms around Raoul. Now that she'd finished, Rika leaned in and kissed Raoul. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:03 PM Raoul kissed her back, evidently surprised but pleased. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:06 PM Rika pulled back a second to chuckle that deep, throaty chuckle from earlier, when she'd been flirting. "So I think I won this round." She said, trailing a finger down his shirt, her eyes sparkling. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:08 PM "Yeah. You do." He just smiled in a daze. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:11 PM Rika kissed him again, and her arms wrapped around his waist. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:14 PM Raoul pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. Okay, gagging on fluff here. XD spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:16 PM Just then, Rika 'eeeeek'ed and jumped away and slapped at something on her arm, which turned out to be a spider. Ooc: We needed some humor. XD Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:19 PM "Crap, you okay?" Raoul brushed the spider off her arm quickly. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:25 PM "Y-yeah, I just hate spiders." Rika said. She shook herself. "Stupid bug!" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:27 PM "Shh, it's okay." He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "It's gone." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:32 PM Rika rested her head aond Raoul's shoulder. she was quiet for a moment. "Raoul? Do you think it's wrong to fall in love? I mean, we were raised to believe it is, but- but it feels so right to be here with you..." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:38 PM "..If loving you is wrong, I don't want to ever be right again." He kissed her cheek and hugged her closer. "I just wonder why it was like that at the start." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:43 PM "I don't know... it doesn't hurt anything, does it?" Rika said, taking ehr head off ehr shoulder and looking him in the eye. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:47 PM "I don't see how it could. If you really care about somebody in the pack, won't that make you want to help out more?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:51 PM "Maybe it's about the cubs; if- if we had cubs, wouldn't you want to keep them? Raise them yourself? Let them know that it was our love that brought them into this world? That goes agaisnt everything in how we currently raise cubs, though." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:53 PM "Yeah." Raoul sighed. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 04:55 PM "But does it matter anymore? We're in a new place with new rules... how much trouble can we get into? We were told to blend in, were we not? The renegades don't have any rules against love." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 04:57 PM "But what happens when we can go back to the forest?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:00 PM "R- Raoul.... didn't you see? The humans tore up the majority of the forest; there's no forest left to go back to, really. We're stuck here... if we ran into what's left of the woods, we'd likely be caught... and possibly killed." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 05:04 PM "..dammit." Raoul rubbed his eyes. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:07 PM Rika kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry that I had to be the one to break it to you." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 05:10 PM "It's okay." He sighed. "..I guess it was foolish to think the pack could go back to what it used to be." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:12 PM "I understand the impulse, though." rika said. "But we're more or less stuck as renegades now, Raoul. As much as we want to deny it, we might as well accept it as fact." Rika said, taking Raoul's hand in hers. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 05:14 PM "Yeah." He rested his head on her shoulder. ".. What does the Antos think?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:15 PM "I don't know, I haven't talked to her about that." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 05:27 PM "Think we should talk to her today?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:49 PM "Yeah, that would be best." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 05:49 PM "Maybe later." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 05:51 PM "For now, why don't we go find a more pleasant spot? With less spiders, perhaps?" Rika said. All times are GMT.

He stood up and helped her up as well. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:24 PM "Oh! That song I sang? It's part of a show that's showing tonight... I wish I could actually get to see it." Rika said with a sigh. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:26 PM "... What if we could listen to it then? Even if we couldn't see it." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:31 PM "Oh, that would be absolutely wonderful!" Rika exclaimed, her eyes getting a far-off and dreamy look. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:32 PM "What time is it starting?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:34 PM "They let people in at 6:00 pm, but the show itself starts at 6:15." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:40 PM "Is there a list of people?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:42 PM "I don't think so; you just need a ticket, which appears to be a small slip of paper, to get in. One for each of us." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:43 PM ".. We need money for that though." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:46 PM Rika sighed. "And don't I know it. Humans and their paper money!" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:47 PM "How much are the tickets?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:51 PM "Um, 90 of the dollar things. Each. And we'd need two, so that's.... ah... 180 of the dollar things." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:54 PM "That's a lot." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:55 PM "Yeah. Where would we find that many dollars?" Rika said with a sigh. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 09:58 PM "Gods only know." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 09:59 PM Rika suddenly tripped over something. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:01 PM "Woah!" Raoul caught her. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:02 PM Rika looked at what she tripped over and then picked it up. It was a wallet, but she didn't know that. "what's this?" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:03 PM "..I have no idea." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:08 PM Rika unfolded it and gasped. "Look! Dollars! Lots of them!" Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:10 PM "Holy cow. Wonder who lost it." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:14 PM "I don't know!" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:18 PM ".. I can't count." >_>; spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:22 PM Rika pulled them out. "Oh! These ones sayu '10' on them!" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:24 PM "How many tens are there?" spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:26 PM "Um..... 18...." Rika said after a moment. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:27 PM "..Isn't that what we need to go see the show?" He blinked. "Plus, it'll probably be so noisy before the show that we can probably get in without anybody really noticing we're not humans." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:32 PM Rika squealed. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:33 PM He hugged her. "Come on, let's go. Maybe we can figure out how to not be quite as canine-ish in public." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:44 PM "What about that Aldo guy? He stands up really straight and stuff." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:44 PM "We could ask him." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:47 PM "..okay..." Rika said. "But if we can't find him, we'll ask those who know him well." Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:48 PM "Like Taka? She seems to get along with him." Raoul wasn't too sure of Phel yet. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 10:49 PM "Yeah! Let's go find her." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 10:50 PM "After you." Raoul laughed. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:02 PM Rika began to head back to camp. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 11:03 PM Raoul followed, and eventually walked up beside her and held her hand. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:04 PM Ooc: By the way, they wouldn't be able to pick up how to act human just like that. Aldo can, but he's an oddity. They'd be caught out very quickly by humans... tho, that could be a plot in itself. O_o Antos was depressed. She had a secret that she had never told anyone, even Eltos. In fact, she'd been secretly in love with him, but cuz of the laws in the pack, had hidden it away within herself. This was the main reason why she had taken his death so hard, and even now, could not get over it. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:12 PM Ooc: um... new plans, then... When Rika came back to camp with Raoul, she saw Antos. "Should we talk to her now?" Rika whispered. Silent_Wolf 12-23-2009 11:16 PM ".. She looks upset." Ooc: Dammit. -.- All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

Rika called out tentatively. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:20 PM Antos was sitting by herself, still in her wolf form, staring listlessly into space. There was also something else she was worrying about; something that she felt she'd burst if she didn't tell anyone. spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:22 PM Rika, still in biped form, kneeled beside the Antos, then took her vulpine form. "Antos? Please, tell me what's wrong." Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:28 PM Antos finally seemed to see Rika. "I'm not sure if I can tell anyone. One is too awful; the other, fills me with fear." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:29 PM "Please, Antos; if you don't tell me, then it will eat you up inside." Rika said gently, kindly, her voice full of genuine concern. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:35 PM "It already has," Antos said, wretchedly. "And the worst part is, I can never fix it." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:37 PM "but it might help at least some if you tell me." Rika said. Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:44 PM "Maybe," Antos said, hopelessly. "Nothing can get worse after all. But I want to tell you in private, away from the rest of the pack." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:46 PM Rika nodded. "Okay. Lead the way." Miranda_ 12-23-2009 11:51 PM Antos led Rika a little way away from the renegade camp. Once they were alone, she sat down and began to talk. "I had the madness for Eltos. I always did, the moment that I saw him. When we became mates, and after that, shed our names to become the Antos and Eltos, it was the happiest day of my life. I didn't tell him tho; I couldn't bear to lose him. It was enough for me that I had Eltos as my mate." She paused, then went on. "This leads on to the other thing. At first I thought that the stress of what happened had caused my body to be out of sinc, but now I know for certain. I'm carrying a cub, and I'm afraid of losing it. Everyone says that the renegades don't always carry to term, and I can't lose this cub, I just can't. It's the last part of Eltos that I have left." spirit_queen 12-23-2009 11:54 PM "Oh, Antos!" Rika butted her head against Antos' side, which was as close a a hug she could get in vulpine form. "Well, what about that guy Aldo who's helping Sharama? Maybe you could stay there? Sharama will have her cub soon, so maybe he'll help you out? You'd have to ask him yourself, of course." Miranda_ 12-24-2009 12:02 AM "I don't know. I wouldn't want to impose." spirit_queen 12-24-2009 12:06 AM "Antos, do it for the baby; the worst you'll get is a 'no', right?" Rika said. Miranda_ 12-24-2009 12:06 AM Antos nodded slowly. "Next time he comes to the camp, I'll ask him." spirit_queen 12-24-2009 12:09 AM "Good... Antos, when I last talked to you about the madness, you lied, right? you didn't leave behind ther person you had it for, but rather bacame his mate?" Rika said. Miranda_ 12-24-2009 12:10 AM "That's right," Antos replied with a sigh. "I felt bad about lying to you, but it was the only way. After all, Entos never knew; I did my utmost best to keep it from him." spirit_queen 12-24-2009 12:13 AM "Oh, Antos, I'm so sorry." Rika said. "Antos, may I have your honest opinion?" Miranda_ 12-24-2009 12:22 AM "Of course," Antos said, sitting up straighter and looking more like her old self. "You can always have that." spirit_queen 12-24-2009 12:26 AM "Our rule about the madness... is it even worth it? We're in a new society and we can't go back to the way things were... and is the madness such a bad thing? Look what denying your 'madness' for the Eltos has done to you! It seems to me our rule on that particular aspect of life hurts rather than helps." Ooc: Going now, bye! Miranda_ 12-24-2009 12:32 AM "It was to protect the cubs; if they were all raised together and didn't know who their parents were, then if one parent died it wouldn't affect them. Also, canines stricken with madness tend to be selfish; they only wish to protect their other half and them alone. It can also make them careless and not notice danger til it's too late. I don't believe that it's necessarily all bad; however, we've lost our home and we've lost some of our pack. We can not lose our laws and heritage when it's all we have left of who we are." spirit_queen 12-24-2009 12:20 PM "Okay. Thank you Antos, for being honest and for trusting me with your secrets." Rika said. Miranda_ 12-24-2009 07:23 PM "That's alright." Antos looked a little happier. Sarah_K_O_M 12-24-2009 10:29 PM Aldo shuffled into the camp, carrying a bag. He looked half asleep and there were wood chips and sawdust on his jeans. He went over to Antos and pulled out a can and a can opener. "Hey, you're the Vigilante leader, right? I brought you this. The metal cylinder is a can. You open it with the other thing, and there's food inside. They keep for a long time if you don't open them, so I thought you could do with a few of them as reserves." he said quietly. "Want them?" Miranda_ 12-25-2009 06:26 PM Antos cautiously took them. "Thanks," she said, carefully. She wasn't quite sure about what these things were, but felt that she shouldn't turn down any gift that could help the pack. She wanted to ask Aldo about whether he could help her and her unborn cub, but couldn't form the words. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 06:40 PM "If you want I can show you how to work them." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 06:51 PM "I'd like that," she replied. "Then I can show the others how." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 06:53 PM Aldo nodded. He went over to an upturned drum and put the can on it. He checked she was watching then showed her how to open it. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 07:06 PM Antos watched, taking it all in. She thought about how to frame a request for help. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 07:08 PM Aldo passed her the opener and a can. "You try." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 07:14 PM Antos changed to her human form so she could try. She successfully managed to get the lid off the can, sniffing curiously at the contents. "What is it?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 07:37 PM Aldo peered at the label. "Looks like steak chunks. The stuff for humans, not that bloody 'dog food' rubbish. Hate that." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 07:38 PM Antos cautiously tasted it. It seemed alright. "Is that what they feed to pets, then?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 07:46 PM "No, this is what they feed themselves. From what I've seen pets get stuff in this really sickening looking 'gravy'." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 07:51 PM "That's awful." Antos took a few more mouthfuls while she framed a speech. "You don't have to help me, but you helped Sharama... I found out I'm expecting a cub. I don't want the cub to die; my mate, who was killed by the humans sired the cub. I heard that a lot of renegade mothers lose their cubs." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:06 PM "I don't know what use I can be. I'm not a doctor or a vetinarian." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:07 PM "I'm sorry I asked," Antos said, stiffly. "I won't bother you any more." She continued to eat from the can. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:14 PM "I didn't say no. If you tell me what help you think you need I can still try be of use." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:18 PM "I don't know. Anything that will ensure the cub's safety." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:23 PM "I'll see if I can get some medicine, if that's any good. The humans have special tablets for pregnant people, to keep mother and child healthy. It's expensive but I'm pretty sure I can get it." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:24 PM "That would help a lot. Thank you. And these metal rocks will help, too. I need to eat more to keep the cub growing properly." All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

"They're not rocks. They're food that the humans wrapped in metal." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:28 PM "It's all just so strange." Antos tried to get her head around the idea. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:30 PM "Yeah, I know. None of the others seem to get it either." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:45 PM "Who do you mean? My pack, or the other renegades?" Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:49 PM "Any of them." Silent_Wolf 12-25-2009 08:57 PM Sinopa crept into camp and just went straight to a bit of a shadowy spot; she didn't feel like talking to much of anybody right now. She'd left Todd in an abandoned apartment complex; it was warm, but completely empty. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 08:57 PM "I would have thought the other renegades would want to learn that kind of thing." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 08:59 PM Aldo shrugged. "You'd think so. I think it's a fear." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 09:00 PM "What kind of fear?" Antos asked, curiously. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 09:02 PM "Being too human, Being a traitor. Being weird, like me." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 09:08 PM "I can see the point, kind of; it won't help us in the long run if we all just act like humans. They should just accept us and our differences. But if you can't help how you act; then it's different." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 09:11 PM "It's just how I am." he said. He took out a cigarette and lit it, offering her one. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 09:17 PM Antos shook her head. "No thanks. That's a human thing. I've smelt it before, and it doesn't smell very nice." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 09:24 PM "They're not too bad. I've been smoking them since I was about.... Thirteen. Helps me when I'm stressed." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 09:25 PM "I'd still rather not. It might not be good for the cub." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 09:29 PM "Yeah, good point. My mother smoked when she was having me." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 09:49 PM Antos sighed. "I just want this cub to be safe. The father is someone I cared for very much, who was killed by the humans." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 10:10 PM "Thought you Vigilantes didn't go for that crazy love crap." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 10:20 PM "We don't," Antos said, shortly. "I never told him how I felt, for the general good." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 10:25 PM "Fair play to you. That stuff is all rubbish. Everyone just dies." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 10:28 PM "We don't allow it cuz it makes people selfish, as in they only look out for the person they love, and also careless." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 10:37 PM "Makes sense to me." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 10:41 PM "Therefore, it's better to suppress it." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 10:45 PM "And die horribly that way!" Aldo said cheerfully. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 10:52 PM Antos sighed, wanting to change the subject. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 10:57 PM Aldo handed her the bag of cans. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:01 PM Antos took it. "Thanks. I'll put these and the opener thing in a safe place." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 11:04 PM "Okay so. I'll see you around." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:07 PM "Of course," Antos replied. *later* Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 11:15 PM Aldo was wandering around Kasa's fence. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:18 PM Kasa had been shut inside as it was a cold morning. She watched Aldo thru a window. Phelan hadn't yet realised that Sinopa was back at the camp. He'd spent most of the previous day with Takaia. Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 11:32 PM Aldo sat down and waited for her. Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:33 PM Eventually, the sun came out and the temperature rose enough for Kasa to be allowed to go out. She walked up to Aldo. "I can't stay out here for long; my master is taking me to a show." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 11:49 PM "It's fine. I'm not here to make a speech or anything. Just to see you." Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:50 PM "Oh, that's nice of you. I wanted to see you, too." Sarah_K_O_M 12-25-2009 11:53 PM Aldo smiled. "Really?" Miranda_ 12-25-2009 11:59 PM Kasa nodded. "Of course. I'd miss you if you didn't visit." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:01 AM "...Thanks." he said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 12:08 AM Kasa stretched forward and nudged him with her nose. She didn't dare change shape with her master in the house. Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:17 AM Aldo petted her. "I better be careful or I'll start being all 'whosa good girl' at you." All times are GMT.

Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:22 AM "Me too. I'd feel like an utter plonker." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 12:25 AM "Some humans do it. It annoys me," Kasa said. "A family down the road lost their pet; they used to talk like that to him. They also let their children play with their pet unsupervised." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:29 AM "People are kind of dumb that way." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 12:30 AM "Very. They think he was stolen, but I think he ran away." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:31 AM "I hope he got to bite them first." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 12:34 AM "I expect he did," Kasa said. "He was chained outside, so he probably did bite them." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:40 AM "Poor thing." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 12:45 AM "It happens. Hopefully, he's still alive." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 12:57 AM "Unless he acts like an idiot and expects to be listened to." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 01:04 AM "That might well happen, if he's spoiled." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 01:06 AM "Then he's probably already been eviscerated." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 01:10 AM "It's sad, in a way." Sarah_K_O_M 12-26-2009 01:13 AM "I guess?" Silent_Wolf 12-26-2009 02:28 PM Elsewhere, Raoul and Rika were wandering through some alleys near the theater that was playing The Phantom of the Opera. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 02:36 PM "Hey, that's that?" Rika said, poiting to a sort of back door that was ajar. Silent_Wolf 12-26-2009 02:40 PM "Dunno. Want to check it out?" spirit_queen 12-26-2009 02:42 PM "Yes, but we must be careful." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-26-2009 02:46 PM "I'll go first." He walked over and peeked inside. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 02:51 PM Inside, one could hear the muffled sound o excited voices, but they were far off. There was a stairwell to the right, and a long, dark hallway to the left. Rika came in behind him. "Let's try the stairs." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 09:24 PM Meanwhile, Phelan was with Taka once again. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 09:26 PM "Hey, Phel? Do you know of any wild spaces with herbs and such? we're runnig low on healig salves." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 09:33 PM Phelan thought for a few minutes, then said, "There's the park. It's downtown a good way; I can take you there, if you like." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 09:35 PM "Oh, yes please! Taka said, clapping her hands together once and grinnig to express her excitement. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 09:39 PM "Bring a bag with you, same as before," said Phelan. "It's easier to get there in human form. We can take the road. One thing tho," he added, trying to sound casual, "You'll have to hold my hand while we're walking by the road. Cuz the traffic gets bad and you're not really used to it yet." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 09:40 PM "Okay. I don't like the car things." Taka said. "I'll be right back; have to get the bags." Taka headed for her tent. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 09:45 PM Phelan waited for her, glad that he'd been able to think up a convincing excuse to hold Taka's hand. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 09:48 PM Taka had bought that excuse thoroughly; she had no idea that Phel just wanted to hold her and because he liked her. XD Soon enough, Taka skipped back over, several small bags in her hand. "Let's go!" Miranda_ 12-26-2009 09:51 PM "I'll tell you when we get to the main road, then I'll take your hand." Phelan set off, leading the way to the park. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:01 PM Takaia nodded and bega to skip beside him, humming some random tune or other as she went. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:04 PM Phelan tried to tune it out. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:14 PM Eventually, they reached the main road, and Taka stopped humming. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:19 PM Phelan took her hand. "We just have to walk along the road for a bit." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:22 PM "Okay." Taka iched closer to Phel and farther from te road; she hadn't been kidding when she said she hated cars. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:27 PM Phelan liked feeling that close to Taka. He took her down the street towards the park. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:28 PM Taka could barely wait until they were away from the road; if she was in canine form, she'd have had her hackles raised. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:34 PM Eventually, they arrived at the park. Phelan reluctantly let go of Taka's hand; it would have seemed too suspicious to keep hold of it. The park had a flower garden, stretches of grass, benches and the river went thru it. There were ducks living on the river bank, but renegades had to be careful not to take too many of them as food, or it would attract attention. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:35 PM "Are there any wild patches? The flowers are nice, but they aren't of much use..." Takaia said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:40 PM "On the other side of the river, where the ducks live," said Phelan. "We can't take them all the time; soon there'd be none left and the humans would be mad." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:42 PM "Well, right now, we're not interested in the ducks; we want plabnts." Taka said as she headed for the river. "How deep is the water?" All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

"There's a bridge tho, a little further up." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 10:54 PM "Oh." Taka giggled. "I was prepared to swim, but that makes things much easier." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 10:58 PM "The bridge would be easier, and less wet, too." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:00 PM "Yeah, though I do like swimming. But that's not what we're here for." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:05 PM Phelan took Taka over the bridge to the wilder part of the park. The ducks scattered as they walked thru them. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:09 PM Taka giggled as they quacked. On the other side of the bridge, she immediately headd for a very small wooded area. "This looks promising!" She said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:10 PM "If you say so. I don't really know what you're looking for." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:13 PM "Herbs. I can show you, if you like." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:19 PM "If you like. I probably won't remember most of it, tho." spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:22 PM So Taka began to pick herbs and explained each one to Phel. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:24 PM Of course, Phelan wasn't so much interested in the herbs, as in Taka. XD spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:27 PM "See? This one is mint, and it smells nice in mall dses." Taka said, holding up he herb for Phel to see. She was completely oblivious to the attention Phel was giving her; she was absorbed in her task. XD Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:35 PM "What do you use it for?" spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:38 PM "Usually to flavor things or to make things smell nicer." aka said. "I try not to pick much, because it doens't take much." Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:40 PM "Oh. What's that other stuff you have?" spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:43 PM "These are the more important oes, the ones that make the salves..." Taka began. She started telling Phel about each herb, what it did and how it was used. Miranda_ 12-26-2009 11:46 PM Phelan inwardly sighed. He wondered just how he could possibly tell Taka that he liked her. spirit_queen 12-26-2009 11:47 PM Taka seemed to notice that he wasn't completely paying attention anyore. "Phel? Something wrong?" Miranda_ 12-27-2009 09:25 PM "What? Nothing's wrong. I'm just a bit tired, that's all." spirit_queen 12-27-2009 11:40 PM "No you're not. Wen you're tired you're more... gruff and grumpy with everyone..." Taka said. She looked into his eyes as if he answer to Phelan's actions that day were hidden within them. Though she was getting better at reading and understanding him, she still couldn't quite always get what he was thinking, especially when he was doing his best to hide it. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 11:28 AM Phelan looked away. "It's nothing, honest." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 12:56 PM Taka reached out with her right hand and cupped Phelan's lft cheek. "Phelan, it's not 'nothing'. I- I care about you." Upon impulse, she leaned in and kissed her cheek, surprising herself. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 12:59 PM It surprised Phelan, too; he'd had no idea whatsoever that Taka returned his feelings. "I care for you, too. I've never liked anyone like this before." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 01:03 PM Taka gasped. "You do? Really?" She asked, her indigo eyes wide. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 01:07 PM "Yes... it's just that I didn't know how to say it, in case you didn't feel the same way." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 01:12 PM Takaia was speechless for a moment, then flung her arm around Phel. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 01:19 PM "We'd better get back soon, if you've gotten all your herbs." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 01:21 PM Taka blushedand pulle back. "Oh, right! Yeah." She said, gahering her herbs ogether and putting them back in her bag. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 01:24 PM "I just want a bit of privacy, that's all," Phelan said, awkwardly. "We can talk in my tent." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 01:26 PM Taka nodded. "Okay. So, ah, let's go." Miranda_ 12-28-2009 01:29 PM So they went back the way they had come. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 01:35 PM Taka once again clung to Phelan when they passed the main road, and she once again looked uncomfortable so close to fast-moving cars. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 09:11 PM Phelan looked happy enough to be protecting Taka. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 10:41 PM When they got back to camp, Taka said "Do you mind if I prepare the salves in your tent, since you wanted to talk to meanyways?" Miranda_ 12-28-2009 10:52 PM "No, I don't mind," Phelan said. He still didn't know that Sinopa was back. He hadn't seen her, yet. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 10:56 PM "Okay, hold on a inute, I'll be right back!" Taka rushed to her tent, grabbed some bowls and a deer leg-bone se used as a pstle, then came back with all the tiems in her arms. "Okay, I'm ready! Which tent is yours, again?" Miranda_ 12-28-2009 11:06 PM "This one." Phelan stood next to a tent, holding the tent flaps open so that Taka could enter. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 11:07 PM Taka smiled at him and went in, then sat down and began sorting the herbs. Silent_Wolf 12-28-2009 11:17 PM Raoul and Rika had gone inside the building and found themselves in what appeared to be a balcony. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 11:19 PM "Oh! This is perfect!" Rika whispered. She didn't seem to care that the show had already started, and appeared to be approximtely halfway through. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

O_o Phelan tied up the flaps as soon as Taka was inside the tent with him. He didn't want to be disturbed. Silent_Wolf 12-28-2009 11:40 PM Raoul heard it, but ignored it. "Wow." spirit_queen 12-28-2009 11:42 PM Rika had no idea what it was, so she figred ig had nothing to do with her. She was instead staring at the stage, eyes wide with joy at what was taking place on the stage. Takaia patted a spot beside her on the ground, indicating Phel should sit there. Miranda_ 12-28-2009 11:45 PM Phelan sat awkwardly next to Taka. spirit_queen 12-28-2009 11:48 PM "Wanna know how I make the salves?" Taka said after a moment of awkward silence. Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:00 AM "Alright," said Phelan. "But I probably wouldn't be good at it; it's not really my thing." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:03 AM Taka showed him how she crushed the leaves and such, and very soon she had several, different colored salves. "There, see?" She aued. "Um, Phel?" Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:15 AM Phelan looked at Taka. "What?" spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:18 AM "When did you start liking me as more than your friend?" Taka asked, turning to face him and leanig toward him. Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:26 AM "I don't really know," Phelan replied. "It was kind of gradual, and after you came back the second time. You were asking for help, not acting as tho you knew everything." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:30 AM "Yeah, it was gradual for me, too. At first, I just wanted to unerstand you; you were so... misunderstood and stuff. But then, as I gt closer, it changed." Taka said. She blushed a little. Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:36 AM "When you came back, you'd stopped being so confrontational. It kind of made me want to protect you," Phelan said, feeling awkward. spirit_queen 12-29-2009 11:34 AM Taka giggled. "I'm not v ery strong or good in a fght; I'm fast, which I can try to use as an advantage, but it only works if I'm fighting against someone who won't be able to anticipate m moves. When I was fightig against a guard, I- I failed rather miserably." Taka rolled up her left pantleg to show Phelan a bite wound nt unlike his own, but it was more healed than his. "I got this after I left the first time, when the humans invaded the forest and- and stole all our precious cubs." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 11:57 AM "That must have been awful for you, all of you," Phelan said. "When mine and Marea's cub died in her womb, it was agony. I didn't love her, but I'd loved the cub so I was devastated to lose it." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 11:58 AM "I'm so verry sorry." Taka said. She hugged Phelan. "The loss of a cub is the worst of fates." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:05 PM "It's just how things are here, sadly. Mothers don't get enough food, tho I've been trying to fix that ever since by foraging more often." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:08 PM "I will try to help." Taka said. "I would not wish the loss of a child on anyone." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:11 PM "All you have to do is make sure that anyone who's expecting a cub gets the food first, along with the cubs." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:14 PM "I will, I will." Taka said, nodding her head. Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:21 PM "Don't forget to feed yourself; as along as the best foragers are kept in good condition, it's best for the pack as a whole." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:22 PM Taka bit her lip and looked away. "Um... bad habbit, I guess..." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 12:25 PM "I can see that; but it's no good in the end," said Phelan. "If you're weak from hunger, you won't be able to get food for others." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 12:38 PM Takaia sighed. "I know. I just get carried away an give allthe bestchoices away. Befor I know it, I'm left with almost nothging." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 01:08 PM "You need to put aside some for yourself at the beginning, mentally," Phelan said. "I won't be able to get as much for the mothers and cubs if I have to get you food, too, cuz you're giving it all away." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:11 PM "Maybe I'll physically instead of mentalls set food aside; ifit's nt in the bag to begin with, maybe I won't give it away." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 12-29-2009 01:15 PM Elsewhere, the play was nearly over. spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:18 PM Unfortunately for them, a security guard was making his rounds. Rika jumped when she heard booted footsteps coming up the stairs they'd used to get up to the balcony. "Raoul, somebody's coming." Silent_Wolf 12-29-2009 01:19 PM "Crap." He looked around. "Maybe hide under the seats?" spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:21 PM "Raoul, I'm not sure we'd fit; these seats are pretty low." Rika said. Miranda_ 12-29-2009 01:22 PM "That would be best," said Phelan. "I know you'll have difficulty adjusting and all, but this isn't as bad a way to live as you've been told. We might even be able to make it better." This wasn't something he'd spoken about to anyone, save Aldo; the secret thought that perhaps they'd be able to get the humans to accept them, one day. He didn't think it would be accomplished very easily or quickly, but they had to try; perhaps when spring arrived, and food was easier to come by and it was easier to keep warm. spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:24 PM "Make itbetter?" Taka asked, co'cking her head to one side. "How?" Miranda_ 12-29-2009 01:32 PM "By forcing the humans to take notice of us," said Phelan. "We can't do anything like that now, while winter is still here, cuz we need to put the cubs and mothers first. We can't put their lives at risk. But once the warmer weather gets here, we can do more. I haven't talked to anyone cept Aldo about this, so don't tell anyone." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:34 PM "I won't. Perhaps if we show the humans that we are indeed sentient, like them; we have our own writing system, our own cultural ideas, though they are dieing." Takaia said. "I cannotread the human's writng, but I know our own system." Miranda_ 12-29-2009 01:37 PM "We'd also need to work out details; Aldo was going to be doing that, nearer the time." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:38 PM "I would like to help." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 12-29-2009 01:38 PM Quote: Originally Posted by spirit_queen (Post 887762) "Raoul, I'm not sure we'd fit; these seats are pretty low." Rika said. "What about our vulpine forms?" Miranda_ 12-29-2009 01:46 PM "Next time Aldo's around, we could talk to him," said Phelan. spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:49 PM "I didn't think of that; it should wrk." Rika said. "Okay, good." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 12-29-2009 01:51 PM "Yeah." Raoul changed to his vulpine form and was able to squeeze under a seat. spirit_queen 12-29-2009 01:57 PM Rika did the sae. Soon, the security guard came in to the balcony. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

Rika sighed in relief when he was far away enough not to hear her. Silent_Wolf 12-29-2009 02:20 PM ".. What the hell's a video camera. Come on, let's get out of here." spirit_queen 12-29-2009 10:57 PM "Yeah; I don't want to get in trouble." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 12:02 PM "Let's go." He wriggled out from under the seat and changed back to his biped form. He still had difficulty calling it human. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 12:35 PM Rika did the same and felt the same. She took Raoul's hand, then headed for the stairs. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 12:45 PM Phelan was silent for a while, then he said, "It won't be easy." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 12:48 PM Taka took Phel's hand in hers and said "It's better than sitting aorund and doing nothing." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 12:53 PM "I thought about it a bit more after Sinopa left," said Phelan. "I still think she was wrong to leave, especially to work as a guard, but it made me think that we can't just keep on as we are. We need to change a few things. As soon as spring arrives, we can get on with it." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 12:57 PM "Hey, Phelan? If renegades had leaders, I think you'd made a great leader." Takaia said. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:05 PM Raoul followed Rika, sniffing the air to make sure the guard was gone. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:09 PM Rika dd the same and moved cautiously and with as much stealth as she could muster. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 01:10 PM "Thanks," said Phelan. "I don't know if anyone would agree, but thanks anyway." Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:10 PM So they crept down the stairs, quiet as mice. Ooc: I've always wanted to say that. XD spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:11 PM Soon enough, the door they'd entered was in sight. "I think it's because you usually sorta push people away, so they can't see what I see." Taka said. She kissed Phel's cheek. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 01:14 PM Somehow, the kiss turned into a full one, on the mouth. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:14 PM Raoul sniffed the air. "You smell anybody?" spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:20 PM "Not very cloe by... yet." Rika respnded. Takaia was incredibly awkward, and didn't know how to move her mouth with his, so she remined more or less stiff.. Her arms, however, wrapped themselves about his neck. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:21 PM "Let's hurry, then." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:21 PM Rika nodded and almost ran for the exit. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:22 PM Raoul did as well, hoping there wasn't anyone near the exit. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 01:23 PM Phelan didn't mind Taka's inexperience; there was plenty of time to teach her, after all. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:23 PM Now that they were out of the building, Rika relaxed some. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:24 PM Raoul looked around nervously; while he was relaxing a bit as well, there still might be humans around. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 01:34 PM "Lets go, Raoul." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 12-30-2009 01:39 PM "Follow me then." He took her hand and continued walking. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 08:54 PM Rika walked beside him, glad for is company. Taka pulled back after a moment. "Was- was I bad at that? Taka asked, though she was certain she already knew the answer herself. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:02 PM "You were fine," Phelan replied. "You just need to practice; and we can do that, of course, whenever you want." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:06 PM Takaia blushed at the thought. "Um, I got time now, I guess... but what am I supposed to do? I don't even know how to kiss properly..." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:10 PM "I'll teach you. Just do what I do, and you'll get it right. Don't vigilantes ever kiss, then?" spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:17 PM Taka shook her head. "Not really; we're not supposed to get into... relationships. Mating or anything that might lead up to mating is reserved only for making cubs, and only those who've been approved are allowed to mate." She squirmed where she sat. "I'm technically breaking rules, letting myself be with you like this. But- but I don't care; this feels right, so how could it be wrong?" Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:24 PM "If you don't mind me saying it, that's a stupid rule," said Phelan. "I get how it might work in a pack formation, but it's silly to stop people being in love." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:29 PM "I think it's all about the cubs and about working together; couples would be more concerned about protecting each other than thew pack as a whole. I'm not sayin I completely agree with it, or anything, just saying why." Taka said. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:38 PM "Makes sense. But you're not in a pack any more, so there's no real need to go by those rules. After all, we look after all our cubs properly, even if they're not our own." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:40 PM Takaia nodded. "I love working with the cubs. It's practically what I live for." She rested her head on Phel's shoulder. "You're very warm, did you know that?" Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:46 PM Phelan was confused. "What do you mean?" spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:49 PM "Your body. You're warm, and I'm cold." Taka snuggled in to his chest. She wasn'tlying when she said she was cold; she was natrally a very cold person, and so the fact that Phel seemed to have ody heat to spare felt good to her. XD Ooc: One of my friends is like that; she'll always randomly come up to me and put her cold little fingers on my arm because I'm usuallly quite a warm person. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:52 PM "Oh. Well, you can come up close to me, any time you like." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 09:54 PM Takaia giggled and blushed again. "Um... should we try the kiss again? I want to get it right." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 09:57 PM "If you like," said Phelan. "Just do what I do." He kissed her again. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:05 AM.

Miranda_ 12-30-2009 10:09 PM She was. XD Phelan kissed Taka some more. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 10:13 PM Taka felt warm and even loved in Phel's arms. *later and elsewhere* Deep within what little remained of the forest, a grey wolf with one brown eye and one blue eye limped toward a wall of rock that had a small overhang. some of the other survivors were to meet with him here, and they were to assess the current situation from there. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 10:17 PM A white wolf went to meet him. This wolf had a gash above one eye, which was half closed, and was dragging a hind leg. Altho the leg wasn't broken, it was cruelly gashed as if by metal teeth and the wounds were festering. The wolf in fact had been caught in a trap. Running away from the humans who were devastating the forest, blinded by blood running into his eyes, he had not seen it til it was too late. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 10:28 PM The grey wolf's own chest wound was also festering, and his breathing was wheezey sounding. But he did his best to look strong as others began to join hem, all of whom had injuried similar to or even worse than the white wolf's. The grey wolf, who appeared to be the leader of the small group, waited a moment, then said "Friends and comrades, I am glad to see youu, glad to know that we haven't lost anyone else yet." He paused "It has been hard; everyday is a struggle like none we've known before, as our wounds fester and hinder our ability to hunt. But we cannot let that get us down, cannot let that kill our hope; somewhere within that chaos known as the city, the rest of our pack lives. Our goal is to survive long enough to find out where they went, and to find a way to rejoin them." At that point, the Eltos stood up. "Now, come; it's time to eat. I was able to manage to kill one doe for us tonight. Only after then can we plan to find our loved ones." He began to slowly limp off to where he'd hidden the carcass of the deer. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 10:36 PM The white wolf, Dolph, followed him. Dolph had been a high up pack member, and even crippled as he was, he still had that air about him. The poor food was telling on him; as his leg got more and more painful, it became harder and harder for him to make kills. He could hardly bear to even put weight on it. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 10:40 PM The Eltos nodded aat Dolph, then stopped at the deer. It was a bit small, but, considering the food they'd had lately, this would look like a feast. It was clearly visible that one of the legs had already been torn into; the Eltos had already eaten. He could have had much more to himself, bu knew that there had to be enough for the others, too. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 10:45 PM Dolph's right as a high up member of the pack was to eat after the leaders had had their share. He stiffly bent his head down to eat; glad that this right was not being denied him. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 10:46 PM The others would wait until Dolph was finished, and then the next in line would go up. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 10:49 PM There were not enough left of them to squabble; however, there wasn't enough meat for all to be fully satisfied. Dolph ate til his hunger pangs were gone, then limped away from the kill. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 10:54 PM The next in line, a female lycaon, came up to the kill. She was lucky to be alive; a whole portion of her face was missing, her right eye included. Her walk was very crooked, and her head was always held at an angle that she could see in front of her with her remaining eye. She began to eat ehr share. The Eltos sat on the other side of the carcus, carefully watching those who ate; if he thought that anyone would try to eat more than their fair share, he'd intervene, for he was determined to lose no more lives. Especially to something like starvation. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:00 PM Dolph sat down heavily next to Eltos, panting with the effort that even going that short distance had cost him. After a few minutes of watching the others feed, he spoke. "Where do you think the others went? Would we even be able to find them?" spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:03 PM "I think Takaia, having made friends in the city already, would have tried to lead them to where her friends were." Eltos said. "As to how we'll find them..." He sighed. "I'm still working on it." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:08 PM "The scent will have gone cold by now. And some of us... aren't fit to track even a mouse." Dolph winced as a shaft of pain went thru his injured leg. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:12 PM "I know. I- I think I might go and begin to scout out where they may have gone myself. If I do decide to do this, I will leave you in charge." The Eltos said, his exression grim; he wasn't in great shape himself, but he knew that he was better than some, and certainly stronger. Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:13 PM "That might be best," Dolph replied. "It would be better for us when we do go and find the others, if we're not just groping in the dark, but have some idea of where to go." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:20 PM "Then I must go soon, before I grow any weaker; the city is tough on our kind." The Eltos said with a sigh. "But I won't let myself begone too long at a time; hunting is hard enough as it is, with only a few of us capable of tracking and brining down anything larger than a rabbit." Ooc: Eltos is the wolf to the right, basically... Animals - Grey Wolf 1 by ~MoonsongStock on deviantART Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:25 PM "Would be best," replied Dolph. "At least none of the females are with cub." He wondered what had become of Sharama, who he'd mated with and who'd been heavily pregnant at the time that the humans came. spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:31 PM "I think I will leave tomorrow." Eltos said. "And I thank the gods every night that none out here with us are with a cub; she would only lose it." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:33 PM "Just like the renegades, who live in the city," Dolph said, sighing. He lay down to ease the strain on his leg. Ooc: Dolph: White wolf by ~thylobscene on deviantART spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:35 PM Eltos sighed. "By fleei into the city, we're essencially blending in with the renegades. But what choice do we have? Our home has been destroyed." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:39 PM "No choice at all," Dolph replied. "We can't stay here. The humans have already begun their work; sooner or later they'll reach us and then we'll be finished. We have no strength for a prolonged battle, and nothing to use to fight against the weapons they have." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:45 PM "Then it is settled; I will leave tomorrow and try to find out where our pack may have gone." The Eltos said. "If, for some eason or another, I do not come back within a day, you must assume the role of Eltos in my place." Miranda_ 12-30-2009 11:47 PM Dolph steeled himself, accepting the responsibility. "I will. I will lead the others into the city if you do not return. But I also hope it will not come to that." spirit_queen 12-30-2009 11:57 PM "As do I." Eltos said. "But I'd rather have you be prepared for the possibility." Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:01 AM "I will be prepared. In any case, it's important that you go and scout; you are the fittest, as well as the leader." All times are GMT. The time now is 12:06 AM.

And I'm very lucky that the bullet that hit me didn't kill me, though I did pass out from the pain." Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:14 AM "I would have been luckier, had the humans not left traps in the forest." spirit_queen 12-31-2009 12:18 AM "And that brings me back to how urgent it is that we find the others; your wound and the wounds of the others need tended to, badly." Eltos said. Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:22 AM "Yes. And we need to get more food. The deer won't stay here after the humans start building." spirit_queen 12-31-2009 12:24 AM Eltos sighed. "And don't I know it. It gets harder and harder every day." Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:27 AM "All the more reason why we have no choice but to brave the city." spirit_queen 12-31-2009 12:29 AM "But one at a time, as the ciy is a dangerous place." Eltos said. Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:30 AM Dolph nodded. "All the more so for cripples like us." spirit_queen 12-31-2009 12:34 AM "Which is why I'll go alone tomorrow. If I don't get much tomorrow, I'll have to wait a few days, then return. And I swear that I'll keep up that routine until I either find them, or- or meet some misfortune." Miranda_ 12-31-2009 12:39 AM Dolph nodded, his eyes steely. He knew that there was no longer any choice as to what they had to do. The miserable existance they now eked out would not last forever, once the deer moved away, once the humans moved in. They needed to decide now as to what their future would be. *later* spirit_queen 12-31-2009 01:20 PM Taka woke up early, and she had a feeling that this day would be a good day. She crawled out of the tent she was in and sniffed at the air, which was crisp, cool, and relatively fresh for ciy air. Silent_Wolf 12-31-2009 01:27 PM Sinopa was coming back from checking on Todd; she'd been scavenging for food for both him and the camp. spirit_queen 12-31-2009 01:28 PM Takaia caught her scent, and then paused. Can it be? Takaa thoughty. she followed the scent, hoping that she had found her friend. Silent_Wolf 12-31-2009 01:29 PM Sinopa was giving some of the food to the cubs right then; though currently, she was being tackled by them all. XD "Kids, get off! Alright, alright, I get it, you missed me!" :lol: All times are GMT. The time now is 01:19 AM.

Soon, not only the cubs were tackling her, but Taka was too. XD "You're baaaaack! Silent_Wolf 12-31-2009 04:29 PM "Jeez, Taka, get off!" X.x Miranda_ 12-31-2009 04:56 PM Phelan came out of the tent; the one that Taka had come from was in fact his tent, which he hadn't allowed anyone inside before. XD spirit_queen 12-31-2009 05:16 PM Taka giggled and got off. "Why'd you quit? Or did you runaway? I thought guards couldn't quit." Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 12:33 PM "I ditched. I just missed everybody. I mean, getting the food to you all was good, but it wasn't going to keep working for too long." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 01:45 PM "Awww." Taka hugged Sinopa. "I missed you, too!" Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 01:51 PM Sinopa hugged her back. "You all been doing alright?" spirit_queen 01-01-2010 01:51 PM "Yeah. Hey, Sinopa! Guess what?" Taka said. Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 01:52 PM "..What?" Sinopa blinked. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 01:55 PM "I got Phelan to smile!" Taka said with a giggle. "It must be a record!" Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 01:57 PM Sinopa's jaw dropped. "He smiled? Are you sure that's Phel?" She smiled though. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:07 PM "Uh-huh! And he joked with me!" Takasaid, giggling. "I think he has a nice smile; it totally lights up his face." ^^ Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:12 PM "Amazing." Sinopa could barely believe it. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:14 PM Taka giggled. "Maybe I can do it again. He's very cute when he smiles and make a little joke." Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:17 PM She shook her head. "You must've gotten through to him." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:21 PM "Uh-huh. I think he likes having someone around who tries to understand him; he sor of needs an interpreter, at times." Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:30 PM "He needs one a lot, I know that." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:31 PM "Yeah. he sorta hides behind a mask of grumpiness, I've found." Taka said. "Oh! Guess what, again?" Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:32 PM ".. Oh boy. What?" O_o spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:36 PM Taka leaned in toward Sinopa's ear and whispered, "He kissed me." Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:43 PM "...wowww." o_o spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:45 PM "It was my first kiss." Taka said. Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 02:49 PM "That's adorable." Sinopa smiled. Raoul and Rika had made it back. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 02:53 PM "You think so?" Taka said. Rika sighed. "I wish I could go up on that stage and sing like that." Silent_Wolf 01-01-2010 03:00 PM "Maybe you can, one day." Raoul kissed her cheek. "Yeah. He sounds like he's starting to relax now." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 03:06 PM "He is, and I'm glad." Taka said. "I hope so." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 10:29 PM *meanwhile* Phelan had left the camp to go into the city. He had taken his wolf form, as it was easier to move around the city that way. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 10:34 PM Ironically enough, that was also the day Nedakh was to venture into the city try and find where the pack went. He was also in his wolf form, ad he entered the city cautiously. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 10:39 PM Phelan tended to patrol the area around the camp regularly, to ensure that it wasn't encroached by other renegades, and also to check for anything new or potentially dangerous. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 10:46 PM In his wandering, Nedakh came close to one of the areas Phela usually patrolled. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 10:49 PM Phelan was about to head back to the camp, when he caught an alien scent. It was a canine, but one who was a stranger to this area, and who might conceivably be a danger to the cubs. He instinctively raised his hackles and went to meet the intruder. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 10:54 PM Nedakh lifted his head and sniffed at the air; someone was coming toward him. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 10:58 PM Phelan saw that the stranger was a lupine canine, and he growled warningly at them. "You don't belong here. Leave, or I'll tear you to pieces," he snarled. He moved in a way as to disguise his limp. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:05 PM Nedakh's own hackles raised, and a growl came from him. But then he paused. What am I doing? I'm in no condition to fight him; he's obviously better fed than me, and not nearly as sickly. He'd win, no contest. Reluctantly he backed down. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:09 PM Phelan could see that the intruder was backing down, and had no stomach for a fight. He triumphantly pressed home his advantage, backing the stranger into a corner, before he stopped and sniffed, hard as a scent came to him that was almost familiar. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:11 PM Nedakh likewise caught a whiff of a very familiar scent. "Takaia?" Nedakh muttered to himself, trying to identify the scent. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:16 PM Phelan heard the mutter and paused; the scent he could smell was very like, tho not identical to, Taka's. He narrowed his eyes at the stranger. "Just who are you, anyway?" he said, still hemming Nedakh into a corner. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:21 PM "My name is Nedakh. The humans destroyed the forest, and my pack fled, but some of us got left behind. I've come here to find where the ohers went." Nedakh said. "And who are you? I can smell one of the members of my pack on you." Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:23 PM "I'm Phelan. Some vigilantes who's land was destroyed by humans came to my camp asking for help, so we let them stay as long as they didn't drag us down." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:25 PM The Elto nodded. "Would one of those vigilates be called 'Takaia', then?" All times are GMT. The time now is 01:20 AM.

"She's back at camp." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:31 PM "She's my daughter." Eltos blurted out. Looking back, he didn't know why he said it. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:36 PM Phelan stared hard at Eltos. "I thought you vigilantes raised your cubs not to have individual parents?" spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:42 PM "She doesn't know that I'm her father, and I shol keep it that way; I don't know why I just said that." Nedakh replied. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:43 PM "I won't tell her; that's up to you," Phelan said. He relaxed his hostile manner. "I know her quite well; we're friends." spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:48 PM "So you're the one she met that first day, then?" Nedakh asked. Miranda_ 01-01-2010 11:51 PM "That's right. She's improved her attitude since then, tho. Now, we know each other a little better." Phelan stressed the last words to hint that he and Taka were together. However, he didn't care for what Eltos might think. After all, he was stronger than him. spirit_queen 01-01-2010 11:57 PM "What do you ean?" Eltos asked. "Do you mean she has the madness for you?" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:01 AM "It's not madness," said Phelan, loftily. "It's normal. It's you vigilantes who have the mad ideas; thinking of love as something abnormal." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:06 AM "What you call love can be a dangarous thing." But wonderful, too. Nedakh thought to himself. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:07 AM "Only if you let it distract you from safety. I'd never let that happen; I've seen it happen to others." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:10 AM "What if something were to happen to her? The pain of letting something happen to someone you love, even if you could ave done nothing to change it, is unbearable." Nedakh said. He sounded very bitter by the last part. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:20 AM "I've already lived thru that, actually," Phelan said, tightly. "I lost a cub that died before it was even born. It doesn't mean that I'll never love again." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:21 AM "I'm sorry for your loss." Nedakh said. "The loss of a cub is a terrble thing." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:24 AM "That's why I chose to help the vigilante pack. They're finding food for themselves, and they're not dragging us down at all." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:28 AM "There are a few more who are still out in the woods. I was sent here to find the rest of the pack s that we could all be reunited. and if we don't leave the forest soon, the humans will find us, and that will be the end." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:35 AM "The same offer goes to you; as long as you feed yourselves and don't try and drag on us, you can join the camp. You'll have to get clothes and tents; there's places I can show you where you can get those. I'll meet you here tomorrow, same time." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:40 AM Nedakh nodded. "Thank you." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:43 AM Phelan gave a nod, then went off without another word. *meanwhile* Sharama was about to give birth to her cub. She'd changed to her dog form to make it easier. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:46 AM Taka was there to help, and had some clean cloth, warm water, and other supplies. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:49 AM Sharama was grateful for Taka's help. Nothing against Aldo, but she much prefered another female being present. XD spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:51 AM XD Taka was glad she'd already helped with births before; thatway, she knew what to do now. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 12:55 AM It took a long time and Sharama was exhausted before she gave a final push, and the cub was born. Sharama wearily lifted her head so that she could break the birth sac, and so enable the cub to take its first breath of air. The cub was female, and a white wolf; making it clear who the father was. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 12:57 AM "Congratulations, Sharama!" Taka said. "It's a little girl!" The cub yipped and whimpered. "What'cha gonna call her?" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:01 AM Sharama had thought about this for a long time, so already had names picked ready. "I'll call her Ayame," she replied. She lay back, exhausted after the long birth. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 01:04 AM Taka wrapped up the cub in some warm cloth, then set her beside her mother to nurse. "She's so cute!" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:11 AM Sharama smiled weakly. "Yes, she is. She's beautiful." She raised her head slightly to nuzzle her cub as Ayame began to nurse. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 01:13 AM "I love her little pink nose..." Taka said "Well, it looks ike everything going fine -no complications or anything, as far as I can tell- so I think I'll let you rest." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:14 AM "Thank you," Sharama said. "Thanks for everything you've done to help me." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 01:16 AM "You're very welcome. Now, go to sleep; I'll stay here a little longer just in case, and then I'll take my leave." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:18 AM Sharama was already dropping off into a doze. She'd wake if her cub needed her, tho. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:20 AM.

Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:18 AM Sharama was already dropping off into a doze. She'd wake if her cub needed her, tho. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 01:06 PM Taka made herself comfortable in a nearby chair, for she planned on staying a few more hours to make sure all went smoothly. *later* Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:22 PM Phelan returned to the camp; and finally noticed that Sinopa was back. "So, what made you leave your new friends and come back here, then?" he said. Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 01:26 PM "I missed my freedom. The collar's nice though, it's padded." She shrugged. "Lots of Vigilantes here. Glad to see you're letting them stay here and help." Sinopa smiled. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 01:30 PM Taka came out of Phel's tent, yawning and stretching; she'd been tired after staying up to watch over Sharama. And, yes, she'd stayed in Phel's tent last night. XD Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:37 PM "Only cuz Taka changed her attitude when she and the others asked for help," Phelan said, gruffly. "She wasn't acting like a big know it all." Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 01:50 PM "Any other reasons?" She raised an eyebrow. "I heard that their cubs were stolen." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 01:58 PM "That's right. Do you have a problem with that?" Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 02:02 PM "Not at all. Hell, I'm glad that you're helping them and letting them help us. I could hug you but you don't like those." ... Hmm, Taka was in Phel's tent. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:04 PM Taka came over. "G'morning...." Then she noticed the way trhe light was. "...or good afternoon. Did I really sleep in that late?" All times are GMT. The time now is 11:18 PM.

I said they could meet me at the outskirts of our pitch. Once they all recover from their injuries, they can help us get a bigger pitch." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:05 PM "More? Really? What did the one you meet look like?" Taka asked, suddenly excited. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:07 PM Phelan thought, then said, "A grey wolf, with mismatched eyes. He was wounded in the chest." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:13 PM Taka gasped. "W-what? He's not dead?" Shesat in stunned silence for a minute. "One brown eye and one almost-white one? You're sure?"" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:19 PM "Yeah, I'm sure," Phelan replied. "I don't get what the big deal is." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:20 PM "He was one of our leaders! we all thought he was dead!" Taka said. "I- I have to go tell Antos!" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:32 PM "Go right ahead. I'm meeting with him tomorrow." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:36 PM Taka grinned and ran off to find the Antos. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:39 PM Antos was once again sitting by herself, away from the other members of the pack and away from the renegades. She was taking the vitamins that Aldo had brought her, and was making an effort to eat well for her cub's sake, but still didn't take much of an interest in things. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:40 PM Tak found her. "Antos!" She said, sliding to a stop right in front of the Antos. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:44 PM Antos wearily lifted her head. "What is it?" spirit_queen 01-02-2010 02:51 PM "Phel-" Taka paused to take a breath. "Phel said me met a vigilante, and there are apparently some survivors out int he forest.... and you'll never guess which vigilante Phelan met..." Taka grinned, and she couldn't even hold it in. "It was the Eltos! He's alive! And phel wouldn't lie; he drescribed a gray wolf with one brown eye and one blue, and a wound on the chest. It's him!" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 02:58 PM Antos sat right up; there was hope in her eyes. "Really and truly? He's alive?" spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:02 PM "Yes! he's coming back today with whoever else survived!" Taka said, bouncing in place with glee. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 03:06 PM "We'll have to prepare a corner of our side of the camp for him and the others," Antos said. "They'll be injured too, I expect." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:08 PM "And infected." Taka said. She shuddered. "Their wounds would have gone untreated for such a long time... " Miranda_ 01-02-2010 03:10 PM "Exactly why we need to prepare a corner. We can't risk any cross infection; some of our pack are still not quite right." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:16 PM Taka nodded. "We should get started soon, then, shouldn't we?" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 03:30 PM "Right away. Go and find Rika, and Raoul too; they can help. I should be careful not to overexert myself cuz of the cub." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:33 PM "Yes, ma'am." Taka said. She then rushed off to find Rika and Raoul, who were liekly to be found together. Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 03:34 PM Raoul was trying to tell Rika that his leg was fine. "It's fine! Honest. Really this time, it's better." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 03:41 PM Antos began to clear an area for the others to stay in. She could hardly believe that Eltos was alive; she'd have to see him in the flesh to finally accept it. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:42 PM Rika bit her lip and shook her head. Then Taka barged in. "Hey, guys!" Rika jumped. XD Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 03:43 PM Raoul was unphased. XD His leg really was better; the wound was no longer scabbed over and there was just a scar left. It still hurt, but nowhere near as bad as before. Though he did have a slight limp, now. "What?" spirit_queen 01-02-2010 03:47 PM "There are sme surviving vigilanes from the forest who are coming hee. Antos wants us to prepare a corner for them, as they'll all need medical attention and, since they will undoubtedly have infections, will be kept seperate form therest of the pack for a bit." "A corner? Which corner?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 03:53 PM "Maybe where the Antos has been staying." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:03 PM This was indeed the corner that Antos was clearing. She decided to rejoin the rest of the pack after the others got there. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:03 PM "Um, we'll ahve to go ask her to find out," taka said. "So let's go." Rika replied. Silent_Wolf 01-02-2010 04:13 PM "After you." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:15 PM Taka dn Rika headed off in the direction to where the Antos was. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:34 PM Antos was working slowly and carefully, clearing the area of rubbish. It was obvious too that a trip would have to be made to the homeless centre to pick up clothing and tents. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:38 PM When Taka and Rika arrived, they began to help. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:43 PM "Once we've prepared the area, we need to go and pick up some extra clothing and stuff," Antos said. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:45 PM "I'll do it." Taka said. "Rika, in my tent you'll find some fresh salve; we're gonna need it." "When did you make it?" Rika asked. "A few days ago, actually." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:46 PM "We'll need bandages, too; and maybe even some more salve made." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:47 PM Rika odded and left to go getwhatthey had. Taka helped Antos finish up cleaning. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:52 PM It was important that the area be clean, cuz of the fact that the survivors of the pack were wounded and their wounds were infected, more likely than not. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 04:56 PM Taka made sure everything was as clean as she could get it. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 04:59 PM "Now, we should wait for Rika to get back with the clothes and canvases," said Antos. "I hope Raoul went with her to help carry it." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:01 PM Ooc: Should we pretend he did, or should wewit fo Wolfie? Takaia nodded. "Yeah; that's a lot of stuff to carry alone." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:18 PM.

XD "We need to get everything ready before Eltos and the others arrive. We don't know what condition they're in." Antos had no intention of revealing her true feelings to Eltos. She was just going to be glad he was alive, and would know their cub. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:07 PM Ooc: okay Rika eventually returned, and she did indeed have help carrying supplies. "Are we doing tents first?" She asked. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 05:14 PM "Yes; we can dole out the clothes once they arrive," Antos said. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:18 PM Rika nodded and set down her pile "Okay, uh... I grabbed nine, so we each can set up three." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 05:22 PM "Alright. That should be enough; if there's more than nine survivors, some will have to double." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:26 PM Rika nodded. Taka reached out and grabbed three. "...I don't liek setting up tents much." she muttered. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 05:30 PM Antos didn't either, but did not want Eltos to have to set up tents himself; or the other remaining vigilantes, who were injured and weak. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:32 PM Rika began to set up hers without complaint. Taka appeared to have trouble with her three. O.o Miranda_ 01-02-2010 05:41 PM Antos was struggling a little, as her pregnancy was beginning to make itself felt. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:43 PM Rika, however, her hers up very quickly. "Would you like some help, Antos?" She asked. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 05:52 PM "I would, thanks," Antos replied, panting. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 05:58 PM "You're welcome." RTika psued. "Tell you what, you lay don and rest a bit; you're pregnant, and shouldn't be doing this at all." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:07 PM "But I can't leave it all for you to do. At least ask some of the other pack members to help." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:09 PM "I'll get Raoul to help." Rika replied. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:12 PM "I've got one and a half tents up, any how." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:15 PM Rika nodded. "So you just lay down, ma'am." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:21 PM Antos lay down nearby, changing to her wolf form to make it easier. Truth be told, she was feeling very tired and was glad to stop work. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:25 PM Eventually thetents were up and taka adn Rika had a sort of madical station set up. *later* Eltos once again was to meet with the others, this time to guide them to the city where he'd met Phelan. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:27 PM Dolph had been keeping order while he waited for Eltos to return. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:29 PM When Eltos had com back, he had told Dolph what had happened. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:39 PM "Good thing you didn't get into a fight with that renegade," said Dolph. "That wouldn't have ended well at all." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:42 PM "And I know it; he was stronger and healthier than me, so the fight would have been lost befre it even started." Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 06:45 PM "Plus, not fighting him meant that we found out where the rest of the pack was." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 06:49 PM "Especilly since I could smell Taka on him. He -the renegade- says that they've got the madness for each other." Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 07:26 PM "How can you stop that, tho? You already said he's stronger." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 07:29 PM "I know. I migt talk to Takaia herself, though; beyond that, there's little i can do." Eltos said. "But enough of this; we have to get going if we're to arrive in the city on time. Where is everyone else?" Miranda_ 01-02-2010 07:37 PM "Over there," Dolph indicated the overhang with his paw. "I told everyone to just sit tight and wait til you got back; no sense in using up energy." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 07:38 PM Eltos nodded, then headed for the overhang. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 07:44 PM The small band of survivors were waiting there. There were, in total, just ten survivors including Dolph and Eltos. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 07:45 PM Eltos explained to everyone there what had happened, and that they were all to head into the city. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 07:53 PM All agreed. After all, Dolph had explained to them during Eltos' absence what was at stake. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 08:00 PM "The we should set out now, if possible." Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 08:06 PM This was agreed on, and the survivors set out, carrying with them the few pitiful remnents they had left. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 08:12 PM Eltos led the way, but would slow on occassion to make sure everyone was with him. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 08:17 PM Dolph was last; partly due to wanting to make sure that everyone followed Eltos, but also cuz his injured leg made him the slowest. It now was so bad, he could not put weight on it at all and was reduced to hobbling on three legs. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 08:30 PM Slowly but surely, the group made its way tward the city. Once they were on its fringes, the Elos paused. "You al need to stay very close to me; I will go slower so that I can be sure you all can keep up, for the city is dangerous and I don't want to lose anyone." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 08:33 PM Dolph was glad for this; he was trembling visibly with the effort of staying upright and longed for a rest. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 08:35 PM "We're close, so gather up the rest of your strength and follow me.... unless someone here needs a rest; if so, speak up now, or hold your peace until we meet up with the renegade." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 08:38 PM "I'm fine," Dolph said bravely. "I can hang on for a long time yet." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 08:43 PM Eltos' brow furrowed, but he eventually nodded, then began to carry on more slowly than before. All times are GMT.

He promised himself that he'd rest when they were safe, not before. Phelan was waiting at the agreed meeting place. He'd taken his wolf form to make it easier. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:00 PM A little later, Eltos and the group got to the agreed meeting spot. edakh nodded respectfully to Phelan. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:02 PM Phelan said to Eltos, "Follow me. I'll take you to where the rest of your pack is." He led Eltos and the others to the corner that had been prepared earlier for them. Antos was waiting there. As soon as the survivors were all safely within the area, Dolph collapsed on to his side. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:07 PM Rika gasped when he saw Dolph collapse. She ran over to him. "Dolph? Oh, gods, your leg!" Taka was scanning the small group of those who'd just arrived, trying to determine who among them besides Dolph needed medical attention the most. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:10 PM Dolph lay there, gasping for a few minutes before he was able to speak. He eventually spoke, too weak to raise his head. "Humans put traps in the woods. I would never have escaped it if it hadn't been for Eltos." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:12 PM "Oh, gods." Rika gently wrapped her arms around Dolph's torso and struggled to lift him high enough to carry him to one of he tents. His tail, however, still dragged the ground. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:15 PM Dolph dropped his head, hating his weakness but unable to walk a step further. Antos took her wolf form to approach Eltos. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:19 PM Rika huffed and puffed all the way to the closest of all the tents, then gently set Dolph down once they were inside. "geez; I knew Iwasn't strong, but th-that was pathetic." The Eltos was laying down, for her was exhausted, though not as badly as dolph. He looked up at his mate and managed to smile with his eyes, for it's hard to smile while in wolf form. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:24 PM Dolph laid his head down. "It's gotten worse since I hurt it; I can't walk on it at all, now." Antos nuzzled Eltos with her muzzle; she was so relieved to see him alive, after she'd thought him dead. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:28 PM "Hi... so, ah... how have things gone without me?" The Eltos said. He didn't really know what else to say. "I can see that; another day and I'm sure your leg would have to be amputated! But I might be able to save it... but cleaning it out will be very painful." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:36 PM Antos told him everything that had happened, from when they'd left their old home, to establishing themselves in a corner of the renegade camp. She paused, and then said, "I couldn't tell you before; I didn't know, then. But I'm having a cub." Dolph replied, "Do what you have to do, just please try and save my leg." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:40 PM Eltos' eyes widened at that. "Really? That's wonderful!" He said, his eyes lighting up wih sheer joy. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:43 PM "I'm taking care of myself; I want this cub to be born safely," said Antos. She was also determined that Eltos would never know how she truly felt about him. To have him alive, and knowing of their cub, was enough. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 09:48 PM "That's good." Elto said. He got up and stretched, then looked around him. "How many live here? Miranda_ 01-02-2010 09:57 PM "All the pack who survived. Some stayed behind to fight the humans; they all were killed. Plus of course the renegades who let us join their camp." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:01 PM Eltos nodded. "How many renegades are there, appoximately? You don't have to answer if you really don't know; I'm just curious." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 10:06 PM "I don't know; you'll have to ask one of them. But a lot." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:09 PM "...that reminds me, I should probably go get some of those clothes people wear around here." Eltos said with a sigh. Miranda_ 01-02-2010 10:18 PM "Rika and Raoul collected some earlier; they're over there, in the first tent." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:20 PM "Okay... but how do I know what I need?" Eltos said. Sarah_K_O_M 01-02-2010 10:32 PM Aldo shuffled over, holding a bag. "Miss Antos," he said respectfully, "I got that medicine you wanted." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 10:40 PM Antos took it. "Thanks, Aldo; could you do me a favour? Eltos here needs to know what clothes he needs. Rika collected some earlier and put them in the first tent. Could you help him?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-02-2010 10:45 PM "I thought he was dead? But sure. Follow me, Mr Eltos." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:47 PM "Er, sir? You don't need to say 'mr' in front of 'Eltos', or 'miss' in font of 'Antos'; they're already titles." Eltos said. Sarah_K_O_M 01-02-2010 10:48 PM "Sorry. I'm just used to surnames." spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:50 PM "It's okay." Eltos said as he followed Aldo into the first tent. Sarah_K_O_M 01-02-2010 10:54 PM Aldo started showing him what he'd need. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 10:57 PM The Eltos dressed rather awkwardly. XD Miranda_ 01-02-2010 10:59 PM Antos took the medicine bag to where Dolph was being tended to by Rika. spirit_queen 01-02-2010 11:02 PM Rika was in the middle of cleaning Dolph's leg. "Oh, good! Did Aldo put painkiller in there?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-02-2010 11:03 PM Aldo lent a hand, neatening him up a bit. "I'm glad I didn't give you a tie. You'd probably strangle yourself." Miranda_ 01-02-2010 11:04 PM Antos searched carefully thru the bag. "Yes; here they are," she said, taking some painkillers out. "Bandages, too." Dolph didn't speak; he was in too much pain. spirit_queen 01-03-2010 12:06 AM "What's a tie? It sounds dangerous." O.o Eltos said. Rika nodded. "Good, Please set it down by the salve." she fnished cleaning Dolph's leg. Miranda_ 01-03-2010 12:20 AM Antos put down the painkillers and bandages next to the salve, then left. Dolph winced as Rika finished cleaning his leg. spirit_queen 01-03-2010 12:26 AM "Okay, Dolph, the worst is over for your leg." Rika said. "Now I just need to apply salve and bandage it." Sarah_K_O_M 01-03-2010 12:29 AM "A tie? It's a thing you put around your neck. Like a noose, but fancy." Miranda_ 01-03-2010 12:30 AM "Good. I couldn't stand it if I'd lost my leg." spirit_queen 01-03-2010 12:32 AM "I don't think you will; it was bad, but I think it was so bad that it can't be fixed." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-03-2010 12:37 AM "I don't mind what you do to fix it," said Dolph. "It hurt enough before. I can stand the pain." spirit_queen 01-03-2010 12:41 AM "Alright. I'm gonna apply the salve now." Rika said, reaching over and grabbing one of he various bowls of salve. All times are GMT. The time now is 11:19 PM.

Antos waited for Eltos outside the tent. spirit_queen 01-03-2010 12:47 AM Rika gently applied the salve. Eltos stumbled out and began to fiddle his pants; he didn't like the way the denim of his jeans seemed to scratc against his skin. Miranda_ 01-03-2010 01:04 AM Antos watched him, trying not to laugh. She had taken her human form to make him feel comfortable, as before. She was dressed in jeans too, and a jumper. spirit_queen 01-03-2010 01:07 AM Eltos could detect the amusement on the Antos' face, and impulsively stuck his tongue out at her. XD Like father like daughter, much? :lol: Miranda_ 01-03-2010 01:12 AM Antos laughed. "You just look so funny right now; you're acting as tho you've got burrs all over you. It does take some getting used to tho, wearing clothes. But it gets very cold out here; there's no undergrowth and no caves." spirit_queen 01-03-2010 01:24 AM Eltos sighed. "I guess, but it feels itchy..." Miranda_ 01-03-2010 01:26 AM "That will pass, eventually. We have to do what the renegades do, here." spirit_queen 01-03-2010 01:30 AM "I know; we can't stand out and bring attention to ourselves. And for good reason." Eltos sais. Miranda_ 01-03-2010 08:21 PM "The life isn't all that bad, considering," said Antos. spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:23 PM "I wouldn't know; this is my first day here." Eltos said. He wondered if he should tell the Anto's about Phelan's claim that Taka had the madness for him... and, judging by how Taka's scent was all over phelan, it was probably true. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 07:33 PM "Taka seems to have integrated well within the renegade group," said Antos. "She's almost like one of them, now. The others of the pack are finding it harder, but are getting there. I suppose it's for the best, really." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:35 PM "But could she be blending in too much? When I ran into Phelan the first time, I could smell Takaia on him. He claims that they've got the madness for each other." The Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 07:38 PM "If she has, then there isn't a lot we can do about it," said Antos with a sigh. "You're in no fit state to fight him, after all. Raoul and Rika claim to have the madness for each other, too, and they are showing no sign of wanting to suppress their feelings." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:41 PM Eltos sighed. "I wasn't planning on fighting him; fighting him won'tmake the feelings go aay, and it would only hurt Takaia..." Miranda_ 01-04-2010 07:44 PM "Maybe we need to rethink the rules as far as the madness goes. Not to ban it completely, but to give a bit of leeway as long as pack members agree to put the pack first at all times. We've lost everything else; we can't lose the pack." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:46 PM Eltos nodded. "I ws thinking the same thing; the madness is only harmful when it makes those who have it slefish; they want to keep thei children to themselves and to protect their mate at all costs, even if it sacrifices theintegrity of the pack." Miranda_ 01-04-2010 07:48 PM "And sometimes, tho it might break your heart, you have to put the pack first and do what's right," said Antos, thinking of how she'd had to leave Eltos and take the pack to safety that terrible night. spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:54 PM Eltos nodded. "Yeah, and you cannot let your ounring over he loss of a mate getin the way of being there to support the pack." Nedakh was thinking about the time he'd found Fanella, his own love, murdered by the humans and their guards. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 07:55 PM "So, we should adapt the rules to allow the madness, but if anyone is found to be hurting the pack with their madness for each other, then we should certainly punish them and force a separation." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 07:59 PM "Or if their relationship is destructive toward each other." Eltos sid. "But what about mating? It has always been a sacred act... but, by allloweing the madness do we make it less sacred? Or, should we put a little bit of a restriction on that as well?" Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:02 PM "I think it's best that it's kept to the season," said Antos. "A practical reason for only mating during that time is that cubs are born at the earliest, about now, and at the latest, in the middle of spring." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:05 PM "Sounds fair." Eltos said in agreement. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:07 PM "We need to get all the pack together so everyone is clear on this." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:13 PM "But when?" Eltos asked. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:18 PM "As soon as possible. Now that the pack is finally reunited, we need to get everything sorted out, and before I have the cub." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:22 PM "Yes, but I'd request that those who ame with me have a few days of uninterrupted rest... myself included." Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:31 PM "Agreed, but we must not leave it too long before we address the pack." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:38 PM "I know, I know." Eltos said. "In any case, where do you get food aorund here?" Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:39 PM "There's two parks near here, both in different directions, but never any prey larger than a rabbit. The renegades also forage in dumpsters for human leavings." spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:42 PM "Would you care to show me, or would that be to much?" The eltos asked. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:49 PM "No, I can show you. I need to get some more food in, too." Antos got up to show Eltos where to go to get to the parks. spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:55 PM Eltos followed, taking in every detail, determined to memorize the way; whn the Antos got further aong in he pregnancy, Eltos wanted to be prepared to provide for her. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 08:58 PM Antos was very careful when going near the roads; she was afraid of the traffic, but made sure she only crossed the roads when it was safe to do so and stayed close to the inside on the pavements. She showed Eltos both parks, and also some of the restaurants, bars and clubs where the renegades went to scavenge. spirit_queen 01-04-2010 08:59 PM Elts paid close attention. He, too, was wary of the cars. Miranda_ 01-04-2010 09:02 PM "That's as much as I can show you," said Antos, when they arrived back at the camp. "There are other places, but it's a bit too far to go at the moment. Maybe someone else can show you." spirit_queen 01-05-2010 05:06 AM Eltos nodded. "Yeah, but later; for now, I'd lke to get some rest." Miranda_ 01-05-2010 12:06 PM "Of course. I'll leave you in peace." spirit_queen 01-05-2010 12:12 PM The Eltos smiled. "Thank you. Good night." He headed for his tent; until his infection was treated, the Eltos was to sleep seperately from the Antos, especally because of the Antos' pregnancy. Miranda_ 01-05-2010 12:19 PM Antos understood; she wished it could be different, but was just happy enough that Eltos was alive and back with her. *next day* spirit_queen 01-05-2010 07:17 PM Takaiawas up early, before the sun had even risen. When she crawled out of Phelan's tent, which she'd been staying in the last couple nights, she gasped; it was snowing out. Though the snow just melted when it hit the ground, it was definitely snow that was coming down. Taka stood up, then threw back her head and stuck out her togue in an attempt to catch a few flakes.

Miranda_ 01-06-2010 12:49 AM "Come back in the tent; there's a couple of jackets free in the clothes tent," said Phelan. "I could get you one." spirit_queen 01-06-2010 12:53 AM "Would you?" Taka said. She crawled back inside. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 12:55 AM "Sure, then we need to start a fire. I got a metal bin we can start it up in, it's down the side." Phelan got out of the tent and went to the tent where the spare clothes were kept. He took a fleece out, and went back to give it to Taka. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 12:59 AM Taka sniffed at it, the put it on. "Much better, thank you." She kissed Phel's cheek, then said, "Now let's start that fire." Miranda_ 01-06-2010 01:06 AM "I'll go get the bin ready," said Phelan. "I put a cover over it, so it won't be snowy. Could you find some wood? There's some in one of the tents; Laika went to get some from the park yesterday." spirit_queen 01-06-2010 01:11 AM Taka nodded. "Sure thing." Taka went to go get the wood. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 01:37 AM Phelan went to where he'd put the metal drum; he took the covering off and dragged out to the centre of the camp. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 11:04 AM Taka came back with her arms full of wood of various sizes and some dry leaves and newspaper to get the fire started. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 12:26 PM It didn't take long to get it started; immediately, a lot of people came out of tents to crouch near the fire. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 09:37 PM One of whom was Nedakh, who sat in front of the fire in his wolf form with a 'whumf' noise. Taka hugged Phel, for he wes warmer than she was. XD Miranda_ 01-06-2010 10:13 PM Antos also came close to the fire. She was wrapped in a blanket, and was in her human form. Phelan wasn't given to public displays of affection so much, but he did hold Taka close and didn't push her away. Silent_Wolf 01-06-2010 10:15 PM Sinopa was sitting a bit further back; the guard uniform, which she still wore, had sleeves on it so she was a bit warmer than those who had tshirts. Raoul was searching for a blanket. "..I know there's one here somewhere." spirit_queen 01-06-2010 10:20 PM Rika came over to Raoul and draped one over his shoulders. "Does that work?" "You're so warm, Phel. It's nice." ^^ Taka said. The Eltos would've taken his human form except that he'd left his blanket in his tent. XD Silent_Wolf 01-06-2010 10:22 PM Raoul laughed a bit and turned around. "Yes." He kissed her cheek. "Come on, let's go sit by the bin." Miranda_ 01-06-2010 10:32 PM Antos saw Raoul and Rika and was worried; she wanted to get the pack announcement done as soon as was possible. Phelan didn't speak to Sinopa at all. He didn't know what to say to her, in any case. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 10:36 PM Eltos agreed,, but wanted to givethose ith severe njurie at least another day. He made himself get up and walk over to where the Antos sat. Rika giggled. "Okay." Silent_Wolf 01-06-2010 10:44 PM Raoul found an empty spot and sat down; while the Antos may have been worried, he had no intention of going that far with Rika in the current circumstances. It was too cold, and for another with the lack of food, if there was a cub it would likely die before birth and he didn't want to put Rika through that. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 10:47 PM Antos just wanted to at least try and keep the pack together. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 10:48 PM Rika didn't plan on going that far either. Sometimes she was tempted, but knew it was in her best interestnot to do so just yet. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 10:58 PM Antos wanted to get it out in the open tho, so that all the pack members knew where they stood. She didn't want anyone to feel upset or singled out. Todd had been particularly annoying towards Sinopa that morning; he had complained about being cold. Silent_Wolf 01-06-2010 10:59 PM Sinopa had told him that she'd bring him a blanket; and she had done so. Which is why there may have been one missing. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 11:00 PM Eltos was going to wait one more day, then tell Antos to call the assembly. Miranda_ 01-06-2010 11:16 PM Phelan checked the supply of wood; sometime in the day, there would have to be trips to the parks to stock up on wood. spirit_queen 01-06-2010 11:58 PM Rika went to check on Dolph. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 12:02 AM Dolph had had a bad night; his leg had started to pain him again. spirit_queen 01-07-2010 12:10 AM Rika brought him more painkillers and checked up on his leg. "Your leg is improving. It's very slight, but it's better than I expected." Rika said Miranda_ 01-07-2010 12:20 AM "Still hurts a lot, tho," said Dolph. "But I'm glad it's getting better. Hopefully I won't be permanently lame." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 12:29 AM 'Yeah, it'll hurt like that for a while." Ria said. She redressed the wound an applied mor salve. "I don't think you'll be left lame; progress is good so far. Just continue resting." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 12:33 AM "I will." He sighed heavily. "I just hate feeling so useless." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 12:35 AM "I know.But if you don't rest up and let your leg heal, yu'll be lame and will be permanently useless." Rika said gently. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 12:43 AM "I suppose you're right." Dolph lay back against the blankets. spirit_queen 01-07-2010 12:47 AM "Have you heard that Sharama's had the cub?" Rika said conversationally. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 12:53 AM Dolph raised his head with a jerk. "No. No-one told me." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:00 AM "I heard a first-hand account from Takaia, who was there." Rika said. "She told meit was a wolf pup, white, like you. And it was a girl." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:02 AM "So it's healthy. That's a relief. I worried about Sharama a lot." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:04 AM "You know that Alo guy who acts very human? He owns a small human home, and has kept her there. She'll continue to stay there until she deems the cub old enough to move out." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:09 AM "That's good to know. Still, I wish I could see her, and the cub." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:10 AM "Perhaps in a fewday, if your leg keeps healng at this rate, and if I can find you a stick to make a suitable crutch." Rika said. "It's easier to get where Alo lives if you're in biped form." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:19 PM.

Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:18 AM "I can't support my leg in that form, not at the moment," Dolph said. "This form is better for that." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:21 AM "I know but if you want to see Sharama, you have to use your human form. It's either that, or you wait until the cub is old enough to be brought here." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:23 AM "I'll think about it. I don't feel comfortable using my other form." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:24 AM Rika nodded. "Well, you'll have plenty of time for thinking." Rika said. "Speaking of which, do you have enough water? I know I left you some but i wnted to know if you're close to being out." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:30 AM "I am actually, tho I've been making it last." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:32 AM "Alright; i'll get you some more, as well as some more food." Rika said. "I'll be right back." She left the tent. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:38 AM Dolph settled down to wait. He wasn't sure if he wanted to take human form at all. spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:39 AM Rika soon returned with a bowl of water and a little bag of food. "Alright, here you go." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:42 AM "Thanks," Dolph said. He ate some of the food and drank a little water. "Are the others alright?" spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:47 AM "Yeah; you're actually one of the worst." Rika said. "I treated weltos myself; the bulle that hit him had shattered and never actually hit anything vital, which is a miracle from the gods." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 01:57 AM "About time we did have some luck." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 01:59 AM Rika nodded. "Antos and I watched him get shot, and we thought he died... I had to try to get her to leave without him." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 02:26 PM "That must have been difficult. She cares for him a lot." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:21 PM Rika nodded, remembering the Antos' secret. "Yeah. But, in a way, the gods have rewarded her for her bravery in carrying on as Antos even when she thought Eltos dead; he hgas returned, and she looks much better." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:23 PM "Our home's still destroyed, tho," said Dolph. "The deer won't stay there for much longer; as soon as the humans start to build on it, they'll go. We can never go back." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:26 PM Rika sighed. "I know, and that hurts... but can't we at least make the best of what we have?" Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:29 PM "What do we have tho, save for charity?" spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:35 PM "We have each other, don't we? We have our pack, our traditions... and we have hope." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:37 PM "I'm not so sure I even have that any more." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:39 PM "Why not?" Rika asked. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:41 PM "What can we do against the humans? We can't fight them. They'd never even think of us as being equal to them. All we can do is scratch out a living in their city." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:43 PM "But I refuse to think that that is all there is left for us." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:51 PM "What do you suggest doing instead, then? Reason with them? They wouldn't listen. They think we're all dumb animals." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:53 PM "But they can't all be like that, can they? Not if they write stories like the one I saw about accepting those who are different..." Rika said. "But I wouldn't be surprised if those who were willing to accept us were a minority." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 07:57 PM "What you saw probably just refers to humans. And just how would you find them? It's probably more than a human's life is worth to come out and say they support us." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 07:59 PM "But we have to try." Rika said. "Even if we can't find anyone who's sympathetic, we can't just... just remain like this." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:04 PM "You could end up getting killed. That wouldn't solve anything." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:06 PM "But neither will sitting arond doing nothing. And when all the vigilante packs are gone the humans will turn their eyes to the renegades. Then what? For the humans, if they still see us as dangerou animals, then we eithjer need to be tamed or killed." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:07 PM "If you go after the humans, you'll only get us killed all the more quickly." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:08 PM "I'm not going after them." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:11 PM Dolph looked at her. "So what do you plan to do, exactly?" spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:15 PM Rika bit her lip. "I don't know." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:18 PM "You could go out there and scout around, as in, get the lie of the land," said Dolph. "But you shouldn't go alone. You could talk to different canines about the humans; see what they say." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:22 PM Rika nodded. "Yeah, I think I will. Thanks, Dolph. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:24 PM "Just promise me you won't go alone. It would be too dangerous." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:26 PM "Of course I won't; that would be a dumb thing to do." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:30 PM "I'd go, but I've got no strength in this leg." spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:30 PM "Yeah; you just rest. In this case, it's the thought that counts, Dolph." Rika said.

Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:39 PM Dolph lay back on the blankets; even this simple effort had tired him. spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:42 PM "You sleep now, okay? I'll check on you later." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:44 PM "Alright," Dolph said. He settled down as comfortably as he could with his bad leg. spirit_queen 01-07-2010 08:45 PM Rika gently covered him with a blanket, then left. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 08:50 PM Dolph was soon asleep. *later* Sarah_K_O_M 01-07-2010 10:57 PM Aldo had fallen asleep at the camp. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 10:59 PM Phelan poked him. Sarah_K_O_M 01-07-2010 11:05 PM He opened one eye. "What?" he said grumpily. Miranda_ 01-07-2010 11:08 PM "Remember what we were talking about before?" Phelan said. "You know, what we were going to do in the spring what with getting the humans to see things our way. I told Taka about it and she wants to help." Sarah_K_O_M 01-07-2010 11:10 PM Aldo sat up and rubbed his eyes then stretched. He looked absolutely wrecked. "Yeah, I think I remember. That's good. Could use the help." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 11:26 PM Phelan was relieved that Aldo hadn't commented on him telling Taka. "Not long to go, now. Once winter's over, we can start." Sarah_K_O_M 01-07-2010 11:32 PM "Can't wait. Sooner this cold is gone the better. I feel like I'm dying." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 11:35 PM "Same here. If we don't keep the fire going, it's just far too cold. I've detailed some people to go and get wood for it during the day." Sarah_K_O_M 01-07-2010 11:42 PM "I had to try insulate my shack by sticking airboard in the walls. The squeak kept waking Sharama's baby, and it's still freezing." Miranda_ 01-07-2010 11:44 PM "Could try and get you some blankets from the homeless centre," said Phelan. "So that the mother and cub don't get cold." Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:20 AM "That'd be great. I don't have any time. I meant to go today, but, well... You saw." he said sheepishly. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 12:21 AM "Nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone needs to sleep," Phelan said. "I need to get some more clothes from there, anyway; I could easily get some blankets, too." Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:27 AM "Thanks, really." Aldo said gratefully. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 12:29 AM "No problem. Consider it payback for all the medicine you bring over here." Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:35 AM Aldo nodded. His eyes started to drift closed again. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 12:37 AM This time, Phelan let him sleep. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 12:40 AM Taka came over to say hi, but then stopped when she saw Aldo drifting off. Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:42 AM Aldo jerked awake. "Right, I should head home." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 12:46 AM "Are you sure you won't fall asleep on the way there?" Taka asked. Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:48 AM "The cold should keep me awake, I hope. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 12:51 AM "Are you sure?" Takaia asked. Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 12:53 AM "I'm sure. I'll be fine." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 12:54 AM "Okay, if you're positive..." Takaia said, biting her lip. Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 01:11 AM Aldo got to his feet. He wavered a little then set off, looking half asleep already. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 01:11 AM "Aldo, wait!" Takaia said, standing. "I'll go with you, to make sure you just don't drop somewhere." Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 01:15 AM He shrugged. "If you're sure." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 01:19 AM Taka nodded. "Mhmm." She linked arms with Aldo, for she ws worried that he'd topple over at any second. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 01:20 AM Phelan looked jealous. Sarah_K_O_M 01-08-2010 01:22 AM Aldo set off at a shuffle. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 01:32 AM Takaia as actally cnsidering asking Phelan to come, as she wasn't sure if she'd remember how o get back. O.o "Phelan?" Miranda_ 01-08-2010 07:25 PM Phelan looked up. "What?" spirit_queen 01-08-2010 07:28 PM "Um, I dont think I know this city well enough to get back on my own. Would you come with me?" Miranda_ 01-08-2010 07:34 PM "Sure I will. We can go to the homeless centre on the way back to get the stuff and you can help me carry it." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM.

Thank you, Phelan." Takaia said. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 07:38 PM "We could go on the way, actually, if we take a detour," Phelan said, thinking. "I was going to get Aldo some more blankets for Sharama and her cub." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 07:41 PM "That works. He looks too tired to care, himself." Taka said. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 07:47 PM "Better go, now. Laika and some others are getting the wood so we don't have to pick any up." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 07:53 PM Takaia nodded. She linked her free arm though Phelan's. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 07:55 PM Phelan then relaxed a lot more. As they went, he helped Taka to support Aldo when necessary. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 07:56 PM Takaia let Phelan lead, especially when theywere to make the detour to the homeless center. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:05 PM The people there were always helpful, tho some would of course suspect that canines used the centre. There was never any sign of this tho in their manner. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:06 PM Takaia was nervous, as she'd never been to the centre before. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:15 PM The volunteers soon would put her at her ease. Phelan collected all that was needed, and after dropping Aldo and the extra blankets off at his home, divided the clothes bags up between him and Taka to begin the journey back to the camp. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:19 PM Taka carried her half and was dwarfed by pile of blankets in her arms. XD She had to peer over top of them to see where she was going, and the effect was slightly comical. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:24 PM Phelan had to guide her, too. xD spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:26 PM "I hate being short." came Taka's muffed complaint from behind the blankets. XD Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:32 PM "It's got its advantages, I'm sure." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:33 PM "I don't see them often." Taka said. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:41 PM "Would help in hunting." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:48 PM "Yeah, but nw there's not much use for hunting, except for the occassional squirrel. I'm quick, but unless I can trick an enemy into a position where that's agreat advantage, then I'm more or less useless in a fight." Taka sighedheavily. "I've always been the runt of the litter." Miranda_ 01-08-2010 08:52 PM "You don't have to worry about that while I'm with you," said Phelan. "I'll protect you." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 08:58 PM "I appreciate that, I eally, truly do... but it can be so, so frustrating, thinking about how I can't even defend myself against anything any mor vicious than a young cub." Taka sad. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 09:18 PM "Not a lot you can do about that." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:20 PM "I know." Takaia said with a heavy sigh. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 09:29 PM "So no point in worrying about it." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:32 PM Takaia wanted to lean againstPhelan, but couldn't with the blankets in her arms. So, instead, se asked, "Are we almost there yet?" Rika, deciging to take Dolph's advice, wanted to go talk to a renegade... and the only one's she knew whoe might actually talk to her were Phelan and that girl who quit being a guard, Sinopa. Since Phelan was absent, Rika went to go find Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 09:33 PM Sinopa was staring out into the city at the edge of the camp; she really missed Rusty. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 09:37 PM "Very nearly," Phelan replied. "Just a few more yards." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:38 PM Taka sighed in relief. Rika came over to Sinopa. "Hey.... uhhh..... Sinopa, right?" Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 09:40 PM "Hm?" Sinopa snapped out of her daze and looked up at Rika. "Yes?" spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:47 PM "I- er, i wanted to ask what you know about humans." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 09:51 PM "Well, the human that 'owned' me was very ... different than what I was raised to believe. He wasn't very bossy at all." She thought for a little while. "And I think maybe he's sympathetic. He pretty much gives the guards free reign of the junkyard, and we could be in human form if we stayed in the shed." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:53 PM "Really?" Rika said with a gasp. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 09:56 PM She nodded. "And since he had a new guard, me, one of his ones that was hurt didn't have to go back on patrol until he was completely healed." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 09:58 PM "Oh. Do you thnk hed talk to a renegade? Talk-talk, not recruit?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:00 PM "Maybe. I was thinking about going back, but I left on bad terms with the Alpha of the guards. Sort of." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:02 PM "But isn't the human even above the Elos or Antos guard?" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:05 PM "I guess, but even if I did get the chance to talk to Everett, she might chase me off and tell him something else." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:06 PM "I-I'll distract her, or something, so thatyou can get a chace to talk to hi." Rika said. "Imagine, a reasonable human!" Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:07 PM "No, I'm not going to let you get hurt." She sighed. "..maybe Rusty could get Everett to talk to me." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:11 PM "Who's Rusty?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:15 PM "One of the guards. He's the one I get along with best." She was slightly flustered, which would clearly indicate just how well. XD spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:22 PM "You have the madness for him! Awww!" Rika said. " Let me tell you, girl, that holding it inside just hurts. I would know." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM.

"Um, we both know we like each other." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:26 PM "Awwww! You need to be reunited!" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:27 PM "Not right now. It's late and I don't think he'll be up and about." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:28 PM Rika sighed. "You're probably right. But soon, okay?" Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:29 PM "Okay." She sighed and rubbed the back of her head. "I was going to talk to Phel about it." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:33 PM "...hmmm.... nto sure how that'd go over." Rika said. "He's odd, that Phelan." Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:34 PM "Yeah. I think Taka's helped him out though." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:39 PM "Yeah. have you seen them when hey think they're alone? The looks they give each other... wow." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:39 PM Sinopa giggled. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:42 PM "...anyways, we should probably get to bed. Talk tmorrow?" Silent_Wolf 01-08-2010 10:43 PM "Yeah. See you." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 10:44 PM Rika went to her tent to lay down. *next morning* Miranda_ 01-08-2010 11:01 PM Antos got all the pack together in readiness for her and Eltos' address. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 11:08 PM Well, except Dolph, who Rika commanded to rest stil; sh'd tell him the message herself. Eltos was ready, ad he was waiting for a sign form Antos that she was ready, too. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 11:11 PM As soon as all the pack, with the exception of Dolph, was assembled, Antos gave a nod to Eltos to show that everything was ready. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 11:18 PM The Eltos cleared his throat. "We have gathered you all here today to address an important matter. Since we have been graciously accepted into this renegade camp, a lot has changed for us, and a lot will continue to change. We are here to address a certain issue that used to not be something that required much discussion." He nodded to Antos to ontinue. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 11:23 PM Antos took over. "The madness," she said, and noted the gasps that came from the pack. "It used to be considered a terrible thing, something that must never be allowed under any circumstances. However, we have decided that it's time to review our laws on the subject." spirit_queen 01-08-2010 11:30 PM Rika's eyes widened, and he wondered what Antos was going to say. Miranda_ 01-08-2010 11:34 PM "The main reason for having laws against the madness was cuz it inspired intense selfishness in canines," Antos continued. "Such canines betrayed their pack in order to protect solely their loved one. This caused the pack to split up, sometimes permanently. But now, we have decided that the madness can be allowed to happen... but only if such selfishness does not. The pack must come first, as before. Those who are selfish and who spit on the relaxing of the law will be punished severely. Those who put their pack first, despite having the madness for each other, will not." Antos looked at Eltos, nodding once so he knew she had finished, and that he could speak once more. spirit_queen 01-08-2010 11:43 PM "Our decison came as a hard one, and partl because we know that things are changing. Do not make us regret this decision." Eltos said. He was then finished. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:00 AM Antos said no more, save dismissing the pack to their own devices. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:01 AM Afterwards, as promised, Rika went to tell Dolph. Eltos nodded to Antos. "You did good." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:19 AM "Thank you, Eltos," Antos replied, carefully keeping her voice neutral. After so long, she could not betray herself by revealing the feelings she had for her mate. Not when he didn't return them, and never would. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:20 AM The Elto smiled, then said. "Well, I'm supposed to let Takaia check up on my wound about now. I'll see you later." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:25 AM "Alright," she replied. "I must go and rest up, and eat something. Maybe take some vitamins." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:26 AM "Yeah... I still can't believe you're with cub." Eltos said, grinning from ear to ear. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:31 AM "I could not, at first, believe it," replied Antos. "But this, does not lie." She lifted her shirt; her stomach was slightly swollen. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:36 AM The eltos smiled. "I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl... we should think up some names for both." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:41 AM "I thought up some," Antos said quietly. "I thought that you were dead, and wanted something to remember you by. I wanted to name the cub Nedakh if it was a boy, and Mallika if a girl." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:43 AM The Eltos actually flushed. "Really? I- I don't know what to say." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:47 AM "I thought that if I'd lost you, then at least you would live on in my cub." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:50 AM The Eltos nodded. "I like that name, Mallika." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:53 AM "So do I. I'd love the cub to be a girl, but I suppose we had better wait and see." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 12:56 AM The Eltos nodded. "I can hardly contain my excitement." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:02 AM "Nor I mine." And of course, Antos would be able to be close to Eltos once more. It was not perfect, but was better than nothing, better than not having him at all... spirit_queen 01-09-2010 01:23 AM "Well, I'll see you later, okay?" Eltos said. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 11:29 AM "Of course. I must go and rest up, now." Antos walked away rather quickly. Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:22 PM Sinopa was looking for Phelan. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:30 PM Phelan had returned with Taka, and was putting the spare clothes away in the tent for storage of said clothes. Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:32 PM "Phelan?" Sinopa was a little hesitant about talking to him. All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM.

"Yes?" he said, curtly. Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:37 PM "I wanted to talk to you about the guards, and more importantly the human." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:40 PM "Did you, now?" Phelan replied, still in the same tone of voice. He hadn't forgiven Sinopa for yelling at him before she'd left. Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:42 PM "Yeah. Thought you might like to know that the guy who owns the junkyard might be sympathetic toward renegades, or even canines in general. We had basically free run of the junk yard and could do whatever we wanted in the shed." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:47 PM "Don't think that by doing this, you're back in my good books. Cuz you're not, even tho it does fit in well with Aldo's and my plan." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:49 PM "Look, I'm sorry. You can stop being mad at me now." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:51 PM "You probably still think you were in the right, tho." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 12:54 PM "No, I don't. I was just getting sick of you acting like you knew what was best." She looked miserable. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 12:55 PM "I did know best, in that situation, actually," Phelan said. "It never would have worked out if we'd let Taka stay, then." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:01 PM "That's not what I meant. I meant all the other times when you threatened to rip my head off whenever something I said didn't match your opinions." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:04 PM "Cuz you were wrong, and you wouldn't accept that you were. You never once listened to what I had to say, you just walked away." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:06 PM "And you didn't? You never wanted to listen to what I had to say, either, just kept insisting you were right even when I knew what I was talking about. Like that time when I said it was a bad idea go 'round the back of that Pizza Hut because there was another renegade group there, and we still went. And I've still got the marks to prove it was a bad, bad idea." x_x Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:12 PM "And if we'd run away, they would have thought we were afraid. Then they could have followed us back and hurt the cubs." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:15 PM "We should've never gone in the first place, Phel, no matter how good pizza might taste." She sighed. "Whatever, it's in the past." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:20 PM "You were the one who brought it up," Phelan said. "Not me. Anyway, what do you want me to do?" Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:25 PM "We need to find out if Everett will help us, at least in regards to food. I know for a fact the Alpha female probably hates me now because of something I did when I left, but some of the other guards might still be on my side." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:27 PM "What makes you think he'd help us, anyway?" Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:29 PM "Because he wasn't really that bossy. Plus, he treated his guards very well. We were allowed to use human forms as long as we stayed in the shed. Most guard owners won't do that." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 01:29 PM Taka was listening closely, and, finished with putting the blankets and clothes away, sat eside Phel to watch and listen. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:33 PM "So approach him, then. Go straight to his office and speak with him there. You don't need to go thru the guards at all." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:34 PM "The guards are the whole problem. I know that the minute Lupe gets a whiff of me, she'll be furious that I came back for anything." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 01:37 PM "Distraction?" Taka suggested. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:40 PM "Just calm down," said Phelan. "You're assuming things that might not even happen. If you're with her master anyway, I doubt this guard will attack you." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:41 PM ".." Sinopa sighed. "I'll go after I get some food for the camp." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:46 PM "I'll come with you. Just in case." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:47 PM "Thanks, Phel." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 01:52 PM "No problem. If we can get this human on our side, it'll really help. I'll let Aldo know of the outcome." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 01:53 PM "He'll have to be careful, we all know what happens when humans get found out when helping us." She shuddered. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 02:17 PM "Yeah. We don't want anything bad to happen, this time. We'll have to keep it a secret between us." Silent_Wolf 01-09-2010 02:17 PM "Yeah. I'll go get some food now and then we can head off." Sinopa changed to her wolf form and left the camp. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 02:18 PM Rika, who was looking for Siopa, ame over at that momet. "Hiya, Rika!" Taka said. "Hello, Takaia." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 04:25 PM Phelan handed some clothes to Rika. "Give those to Dolph; when he's recovered, he might want to consider changing to human form. It'll be easier for him." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 06:34 PM Rika blinked. "Oh. Thanks." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 07:00 PM "Easier to get around, too." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 09:59 PM "Yeah, but he's still got a ways to go, yet." Rika said. "So.... I heard you were going with Sinopa to meet Everett?" Ooc: Be back soon; my dad wants me to help him with some dumb task or other. -.- Miranda_ 01-09-2010 10:20 PM "That's right. Apparently, he's one of those rare humans who respects canines." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 10:31 PM Rika nodded. "I talked to her yesterday." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 10:34 PM "She's just gone to get some food for the camp first." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 10:38 PM "Ah, okay. I would have talked to her earlier today, but the Eltos and Antos called a meeting-" Rika sid. Taka gasped, interrupting Rika, and exclaimed. "OH, that's RIGHT! I totally meant to telll you, Phel, but I forgot!" Miranda_ 01-09-2010 10:43 PM "Tell me what? And what about the meeting?" All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM.

"I'll let Taka tell you." "It was about what we call 'madness' and you call 'love'." Takaia bean. "They're willing to allow us to have relationships so long as the relationship doesn't get in the way of taking care of the pack as a whole. Which means you and I are safe because we're always out getting stuff for the group, be it food, or wood, or clothes." Takaia grinned widely, then hugged him. "Isn't it great?" Miranda_ 01-09-2010 10:53 PM "Yeah," said Phelan. "I wonder what made them change their mind about it? That leader guy of yours looked pretty well against it before." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 10:56 PM Takaia giggled. "He might have just been against you and me, not love as a whole." She paused. "A long, long time ago, when I as still a cub, I was the runt o the litter by qite a margin, and some of the others used to pick on me. He'd always defend me, and has always helped to look after me because I'm still the runt. So, he's probably just being overproective of me." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 11:00 PM "He looked as tho he wanted to fight me at first; but he changed his mind." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 11:03 PM "Yeah, he's just like that." Taka paused. "You two are actually alike in that way; you both want to protect me." Miranda_ 01-09-2010 11:06 PM "In any case, now he and his mate have changed the rules, he doesn't have to be protective at all any more." spirit_queen 01-09-2010 11:10 PM "Because I have you." Taka said. She wrapped her arms around Phel and rested her head on his shoulder. Miranda_ 01-09-2010 11:14 PM Phelan was still a little awkward about public displays of affection, but he did not push her away. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 11:18 PM Takaia, on the other hand, didn't care what other people thought and would hug him anyways. XD Miranda_ 01-09-2010 11:29 PM Phelan wasn't yet used to feeling this way about Taka. spirit_queen 01-09-2010 11:30 PM While Takaia had never had these feelings before, so this was all new, but she was willing to embrace it. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 02:01 PM A couple of renegades came back with a load of wood, mostly fallen branches, that they'd collected from the park. spirit_queen 01-10-2010 06:46 PM Rika took that moment to go to Dolph and show him his clothes. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 06:49 PM Dolph was determinedly unimpressed. spirit_queen 01-10-2010 06:52 PM "Wll, I know it looks dumb, but it's necessary if we wish not to draw attention to ourselves while in biped form. And it's safest to be prepared to use both forms in a moment's notice when around here." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 06:56 PM "It'll hurt me to change form at the moment, tho. I won't be able to dress myself, either, and I don't want anyone else doing it for me." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:07 PM "I know, and I don't recommend you triyng to change at all just yet; I just thought I'd show you the clothes. for now, we'll leave them alone until i declare you healed enough to change." Miranda_ 01-10-2010 07:12 PM "Fine. I guess the situation's not changing any time soon." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:15 PM "But, hey, at least you can keep your leg." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 07:24 PM Dolph looked cross. "That's the only good thing." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:26 PM "I'm sorry. I truly am; if there was more I could do, I'd do it for you in a heartbeat." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 07:32 PM "There's nothing anyone can do." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:38 PM "I'm sorry." Rika sid. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 07:40 PM "No point being sorry now." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:47 PM Rika nodded. "Yeah... did you need anything? Any more water or food?" Miranda_ 01-10-2010 07:54 PM "I'm fine at the moment," said Dolph. "You're obviously happy at what happened at the meeting." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 07:56 PM Rika blushed. Though it didn't show on her skin, the expression on her face made it quite obvious. "Have I told you yet?" Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:01 PM "Not yet, but it's obviously something you approve of." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:04 PM Rika coughed awkwardly. "The, ah, Eltos and Antos have changed ther policy toward the madness; it's not longer forbidden, but is ermitted so long as those afflicted don't let their love for the significant other take over their role for caring forthe pack." Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:07 PM "That makes more sense than the old rule, in a way. So, why are you so happy about it? Anything to say?" spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:09 PM Rika giggled and blushed some more. "Um..... because Raoul and I are so, soooo afflicted. Um... this is a bit embarassing to confess, but, yeah..." Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:14 PM "Just as long as you abide by the new rule, there's no harm in it, I guess." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:17 PM "And I have been, haven't I? I'm still doing my job as healer and helping out wherever I can." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:23 PM "More than what I'm doing." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:26 PM "I'm sure you'll do more than your fair share when you're back on your feet." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:30 PM "I intend to," said Dolph. spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:32 PM "See? There's a saying: 'it's the thought that counts'." Rika said. "Just because you can't do anything right now doesn't mean you wouldn't." Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:36 PM "What does everyone do round here, anyway?" spirit_queen 01-10-2010 08:46 PM "To help out? Gather wod for the fire, scavenge for food, walk to the homeless shelter to gather clothing, and other things of that nature." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 08:52 PM "Oh. I guess I could do that." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM.

"Just not yet, though." Miranda_ 01-10-2010 09:09 PM "No," said Dolph. He shivered slightly. "I swear it's colder here than in the country." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 09:13 PM "It is, in the winter; in the summer it's supposedly hotter; it has somethng to do with ll the metal and concrete ere, I think." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-10-2010 09:15 PM "At least spring's nearly here. Just a month or so to go." spirit_queen 01-10-2010 09:17 PM "Yeah." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-11-2010 12:17 PM Raoul was keeping an eye on the cubs; because his arm was still broken, he had some trouble getting food. Sinopa had by now come back and, after leaving some food with Todd (and telling him to ration it), was giving food to the people in the camp. "And here's some... not sure what this is." She sniffed it. "Chicken?" Miranda_ 01-11-2010 12:27 PM Phelan shrugged. "Doesn't matter what it is; where did you get it, by the way?" Silent_Wolf 01-11-2010 12:29 PM "Behind the bakery." She sniffed it again, grimacing. "I don't think anybody should eat this." Miranda_ 01-11-2010 12:34 PM "Throw it away, then. Ready to go?" Silent_Wolf 01-11-2010 07:41 PM "Yeah." She threw away the chunk of... whatever and stood up. "I'll grab something to eat myself on the way back. I didn't find a whole lot today." Miranda_ 01-11-2010 11:18 PM "We could cut round by the restaurants. Unless this human gives us something." Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 11:08 AM "He might. Maybe. I don't know." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:57 AM "By the way, what you said before," said Phelan. "About us not being able to scavenge forever. Do you honestly think I don't know that? But there's no other way of getting food; there's not nearly enough prey in the city to support everyone. Fixing that is what Aldo and I plan to do; but not til spring. It'll be easier to get food in spring, so the cubs won't starve." Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 08:22 PM "I know. It's just, you were making me so mad. I thought you were being obtuse or something back then because you just weren't listening to me then." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:36 PM "You weren't listening to me, either," Phelan said. "Aldo and I decided not to tell everyone the plan til nearer the time, but if you had listened to me, I would have told you earlier." Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 11:38 PM "Not when you kept threatening to bite my head off all the time. That's one reason I left, I was starting to worry you'd really kill me, Phel." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:46 PM "Only cuz you weren't listening; you just walked away rather than listen. And why would I kill you?" Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 11:48 PM "You threatened to rip my head off almost everytime we talked. Even when I wasn't arguing with you. It felt like anytime I said something you didn't like, you threw threats at me. And it hurt a lot." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:49 PM "Well, now you know how I felt whenever you ignored me, or just walked away from me." Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 11:50 PM She sighed. "But you weren't scared for your life, now, were you." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:54 PM He gave her a hard stare. "If you're trying to guilt trip me, you're wasting your time. I spent practically my entire cubhood fearing for my life, so there's no point in trying to force me to feel guilty. I learned to live with it. Why can't you?" Silent_Wolf 01-12-2010 11:56 PM "Because I already do. I don't need to feel it from the people I trust, thanks." Miranda_ 01-12-2010 11:59 PM "Like I said, quit with the guilt trip." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 12:02 AM "I'm stating a fact. Anyway, we're almost there." Miranda_ 01-13-2010 12:11 AM "It's not a fact. It's your opinion." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 11:07 AM "Phel, you're not the only person who's scared of what's in this city. You acting the way you do scares a lot of people and makes them anxious." Miranda_ 01-13-2010 01:05 PM "I'm not about to change myself just to save a bunch of pathetic people's stupid feelings. They need to get some iron in their spines, more like." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 08:08 PM "Phel, drop it. We're here." Miranda_ 01-13-2010 08:19 PM "So do your thing, then," Phelan said. "I don't know where to go." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 08:42 PM "Hang on." She sniffed the air, wondering if Rusty was around. Miranda_ 01-13-2010 08:54 PM Rusty was sitting by the fence. He knew it was stupid, but he hoped that Sinopa would come back. Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 08:56 PM Sinopa walked down the fence. "Rusty?" Miranda_ 01-13-2010 09:08 PM Rusty visibly cheered up. He went as close to the fence as he could, tho he eyed Phelan warily. "Sinopa! You're back!" Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 09:10 PM "I missed you!" Sinopa knelt down and patted Rusty on the nose through the fence. "We need to talk to Everett. It's really important. Is uh, is Lupe around?" She looked around nervously. Miranda_ 01-13-2010 09:28 PM "She's patrolling with Crevan," said Rusty. "You don't need to worry, tho; she's forgotten all about the spat. That's just like her; she gets mad, rants for a day or so, then doesn't bother about it again." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 09:30 PM Sinopa sighed in relief. "Thank god for that. Anyway, can you get Everett for us, please? I'm still not too comfortable just walking in." Miranda_ 01-13-2010 09:42 PM "Sure. Just wait there a minute." Rusty ran off. Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 09:45 PM "Thanks!" Sinopa stood back up, watching him run. She had a similar look on her face to the one Takaia had when she was looking at Phelan. XD Miranda_ 01-13-2010 09:47 PM Phelan shifted uncomfortably. Eventually, Rusty came back with Everett. Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 09:49 PM Sinopa snapped out of her daze. "Hi, Everett." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:21 PM.

"Come to my office; we can talk in private there. And bring your, um, friend with you." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 10:10 PM "Thanks." Sinopa gestured for Phelan to follow and walked into the office after finding the door in the fence. Miranda_ 01-13-2010 10:38 PM Everett waited til they were all seated before speaking. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 10:41 PM "Well, I wanted to apologize first for leaving as abruptly as I did. Conflict of interest. And I missed the pack quite a lot." Miranda_ 01-13-2010 10:48 PM "That's fine," said Everett. "As it happened, there was a lucky coincidence where Crevan was well enough to come back to resume his status as a guard, so no harm done." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 10:51 PM "I was gonna get the boot?" She smiled, just kidding around. "Anyway, I just wanted to know something. Would you help Phelan and me?" Miranda_ 01-13-2010 11:57 PM "I will, but you can't go around telling the world," said Everett. "As you probably know, it's difficult for humans to be seen publically helping canines. I can give you food, for example, but you can't tell everyone where you got it from. I can also help you with other things later on." Silent_Wolf 01-13-2010 11:58 PM "Thank you so much. We won't tell a soul, promise." She smiled gratefully. Miranda_ 01-14-2010 12:06 AM "I can give you some food to take away with you now, if you like." Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 12:07 AM "Is that alright, Phel?" She looked at him. Miranda_ 01-14-2010 12:13 AM Phelan nodded. "Just make it easy for us to carry." Everett gave them a couple of small bags of biscuits, plus two t-bone steaks. "I give those to the guards every Saturday," he said with a smile. "There's enough for you to have one each." Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 12:15 AM "Thanks a whole bunch, sir." Sinopa grinned. Miranda_ 01-14-2010 12:29 AM "You're welcome." Phelan picked up one of the bags and slung it on his back. It looked fairly innocuous, as the other one did. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 11:19 AM And they left. Sinopa lingered behind a little to pet Rusty; she definitely wanted to stay a little longer to be with him, but knew she couldn't. Miranda_ 01-14-2010 12:04 PM Rusty said to Sinopa before she left, "Please come back and see me soon. I've missed you." Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 08:36 PM "I will when I'm able to, don't worry." Miranda_ 01-14-2010 09:01 PM Rusty sighed and watched as Sinopa left with Phelan. He watched til they were out of sight. *later* Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:03 PM Sinopa was in a pretty good mood. spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:04 PM Rika came up to her. "You look happy today." Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:09 PM "Do I?" She blinked. spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:09 PM "...yeah." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:11 PM "Well, then." ^_^; spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:15 PM "So, did you talk to the human?" Rika asked. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:15 PM "Yep. He sent some food over, we gave it out earlier. I left some in your tent." Miranda_ 01-14-2010 09:22 PM Phelan had shared his steak with Taka. spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:23 PM "Oh, thank you." Rika said. After eating the piece he'd given her, Takaia had kissed Phelan to express her thanks. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:37 PM "No problem." ^_^ Sinopa hadn't eaten her steak yet. spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:40 PM "So... did you get to see him?" Rika asked, pronouncing him in an odd way and nudging Sinopa. XD Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:49 PM Sinopa blushed a little. "Yeah. Didn't really get to talk to him a whole lot, though." spirit_queen 01-14-2010 09:53 PM "Aww. Then you should go back soon." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 09:57 PM "I shouldn't go too often, it'll attract undue attention." spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:00 PM I know, but when you do go, go long enough to actually talk to him, okay?" Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 10:08 PM "I will. Don't worry." ^^ "Hey, where's the Altos?" spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:11 PM "You mean Antos? I don't know; she's been resting a lot lately, due to her pregnancy." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 10:15 PM "Sorry, I keep getting the names a little sc'rewy." She blushed. "Just wondering." spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:18 PM "That's fine." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 10:20 PM "Well, um, if you know where she is, can you let me know?" spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:27 PM "I think I know where she is now." Rika said. Silent_Wolf 01-14-2010 10:31 PM "You do? I was going to give her something, but if she's resting I don't want to bother her too much." spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:33 PM "Well, all she's been doing at all is resting, so she might appreciate the break." Rik said. "Follow me." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:21 PM.

Ooc: Gotta go, bye! spirit_queen 01-14-2010 10:49 PM Rika lead her to Antos' tent. Sarah_K_O_M 01-14-2010 11:09 PM Elsewhere, Aldo was waiting for Kasa. Miranda_ 01-14-2010 11:24 PM Kasa came up to the fence at their usual meeting place. Sarah_K_O_M 01-14-2010 11:25 PM Aldo smiled. "Hi." Miranda_ 01-14-2010 11:56 PM "Hi," Kasa said. "You haven't been to visit me for a while." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 12:03 AM "I've been busy, haven't had the chance to. Whenever I had time free I was so tired I couldn't make it over." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 12:05 AM "What are you doing that's so important, then?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 12:06 AM "It's kind of a secret." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 12:12 AM Kasa looked slightly annoyed. "Fine, then don't tell me." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 12:15 AM "I'm not being mean. But it's not something I'm proud of." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 12:23 AM "I can't think what that would be." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 12:54 AM "It's just something. You'd probably find it stupid." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 12:57 AM "You can always tell me. I won't laugh." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 01:05 AM "I... I have a job." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 01:07 AM Kasa didn't laugh. She said, "A job? But I thought canines weren't allowed to have jobs." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 01:12 AM "They don't know. No one ever does." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 01:18 AM "Oh. Well, I won't tell anyone." Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 01:21 AM "Thanks. Or else they'll kill me." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 01:25 AM "Do your friends know?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 06:43 PM "F*ck no. They'd kill me for being a traitor. I have to though. How else can I get the money for medicine and everything else they need?" Aldo said in a defensive way, as if daring her to make an issue of it or call him a traitor. Miranda_ 01-15-2010 11:50 PM "You know this for a fact, then?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-15-2010 11:51 PM "Of course I know it. If pets and guards are scum then what am I? Hardly any better." Miranda_ 01-15-2010 11:55 PM Kasa gave a shrug. "Your choice. I won't try and push you to do anything different." Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 12:27 AM "Not like I could even if you did." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 12:34 AM "As long as you don't try and give me a hard time about being a pet, I won't bug you about this." Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 12:58 AM "I won't." Aldo said gratefully. He reached in and petted her. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 01:05 AM Kasa always liked it when Aldo did this. She rubbed her head against his hand like a cat. Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 01:09 AM He scritched behind her ears. "Kind of wish I could kiss you again." he remarked absently. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 01:11 AM "I could always change shape, just for a little while," Kasa said. Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 01:12 AM "You sure it's safe?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 01:20 AM "Yes; my master's working in his study. Not for long tho, so we'll have to be quick." Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 01:26 AM Aldo hopped over the fence. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 01:27 AM Kasa took a quick look behind her before changing into her human form. Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 09:19 AM Aldo pulled her over to the relative shelter of a few trees and kissed her. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 01:06 PM Kasa didn't want the moment to ever end; however, after about ten minutes of kissing, she reluctantly decided that she couldn't risk being in her human form for much longer. So she changed back. Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 03:53 PM Aldo petted her some more. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 04:08 PM Kasa sighed. "I wish it could be different. But that'll never happen." Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 04:10 PM "I know. It's all pointless." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 04:15 PM "You can't change the humans' minds." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:21 PM.

Miranda_ 01-16-2010 04:39 PM "Knowing it doesn't make it better." Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 04:40 PM "I never said it did. What do you want, for me to not bother?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 04:45 PM Kasa sighed again and said nothing. Sarah_K_O_M 01-16-2010 04:45 PM "I can't do that." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 07:52 PM "I don't expect you to do anything. Let's just enjoy the moment." *meanwhile* spirit_queen 01-16-2010 07:56 PM Takaia wanted to talk to Phelan about something. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 07:58 PM Phelan was putting more wood in the steel drum to feed the fire. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 07:59 PM Taka found him there. "Phel? Can we talk?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 08:02 PM Phelan dumped the last of the wood on the fire, and said, "Sure. What do you want to talk about?" spirit_queen 01-16-2010 08:05 PM Before Takaia did so much as open her mouth, she swayed, and grabbed Phel's arm to steady herself. "I- I-" She began, but broke off; she had no idea how to say this. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 08:07 PM "What? What's the matter?" Phelan looked a bit worried. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 08:15 PM Takaia swallowed, then slowly unzipped he jacket and lifted her shirt up; it was then easy to see that her ribs were not just visible, they were pronounced. "A-and my menstrual persiod is late by a few weeks now." Takaia said beforeletting the shirt drop again. "I never really had to care before, but my body goes through food-energy faster than a normal person, and theres been less around since I arrived here..." Ooc: That's Taka's way of saying she has a high metabolism Miranda_ 01-16-2010 08:16 PM "You're... you're having a cub?" Phelan now looked afraid. The last cub he'd fathered had died. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 08:20 PM Takaia blinked once, confused for a second. "Phelan, I'm a virgin." She paused. "What I'm saying is that I'm starving to death. Literally. The menstrual cycle stops for only a few reasons, one of them being that a woman is so starved that the body doesn't have the energy to waste on the reproductive system." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 08:29 PM "Oh. Sinopa and I got some food from that human Everett; it's in the storage tent. You can go and have some of that." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 08:31 PM Takaia nodded. "Okay. thank you." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 08:39 PM "Just don't give me a shock like that again." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 09:33 PM "Sorry." Takaia mumbled before walking off. Later that night, Takaia was waiting for Phel in his tent; she wanted ot talk to him. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 09:35 PM Phelan had been foraging; he eventually went to the tent. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 09:37 PM "Phelan? I'm sorry I freaked you out today." Takaia said as soon as he came in. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 09:39 PM "That's alright," Phelan said. "Here, I brought you something." It was a lamb bone, still with a lot of meat on it. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 09:41 PM "Thank you." Taka said as she took the bone. "Phelan? do you want to talk about it?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 09:46 PM "Talk about what?" Phelan looked on edge. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 09:51 PM "About what happened with Marea." Takaia said gently. "Phel, you can't hold it in any more, it's eating you up inside." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 09:54 PM "I don't even know where to start. We weren't together, not in a proper sense. We were just both lonely." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 09:56 PM "So you got together because you could both understand each other? Then what?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 09:58 PM "Then Marea found she was having a cub. But it was a very severe winter, and there just wasn't enough food around." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:00 PM "And she lost it." Takaia finished. "Is thatwhn you began to shut everyone else out?" Takaia asked gently, her voice full of concern. She scooched closer to him and placed her hand on his arm, attempting to comfort him some. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:05 PM "I didn't know how to deal with things." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:09 PM "Well, letting it out is the irst step. When you found out, how did you feel? Wht did you think?" Takaia said. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:14 PM "I don't know. I can't think about how I felt. I just tried to shut it all out." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:18 PM "Did you feel guilty, like it was your fault? As though you should have tried harder to feed her and keep her warm?" Takaia said. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:20 PM Phelan sighed and nodded. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:21 PM Takaia hugged him then. "But it's not your fault nor is it hers; if anyone is to blame, it's the humans, but even then you said it wasbecaue it was a bad winter." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:27 PM "Didn't stop me thinking that way." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:33 PM "I know." Takia said. she kissed his cheek. "Trust me, I know." Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:41 PM "That's why I don't think I can deal with another cub, just yet." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 10:44 PM "Yeah, I understand, I can wait." Takaia said. "So, why'd you assume I was pregnant, even though we haven't gotten that far?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:48 PM "I don't know." All times are GMT. The time now is 11:21 PM.

"OH! I found this box among the food from the humman, with these little pebble-things inside. What are they, do you know?" Takaia took out the box in question, and the 'pebbles' were pill capsules filled with a powder that was birth control. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 10:58 PM Phelan looked. "I think those are the pills they give to their pets and guards to stop them from having cubs." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 11:02 PM Takaia gasped. "That's horrible! You mean they actlly want to keep their pets and guards from having cubs?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 11:16 PM "It's not necessarily a bad thing; it means they can plan ahead." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 11:17 PM "What do you mean?" Takaia asked. Miranda_ 01-16-2010 11:28 PM "So that the females can only have cubs in the spring or summer, I guess. Or only with the males they choose." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 11:35 PM "Oh! I hadn't thought of it that way." Takaia said. Then, sort of randomly, "Phelan, do you want me?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 11:37 PM "What?" Phelan wasn't expecting this question, and it showed. spirit_queen 01-16-2010 11:42 PM So Taka repeated herself "Do you want me? As a mate?" Miranda_ 01-16-2010 11:51 PM "Of course I do." spirit_queen 01-16-2010 11:57 PM Takaia picked up one of the pills. "Well, these can allow us to be mates, but then we don't have to have a cub until we'reready." Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:00 AM "We can keep those pills in the tent; I wonder how you get more. Maybe Everett will give me some more of those next time." spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:01 AM Takaia nodded. "How often must they be taken?" Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:06 AM Phelan read some of the packaging. "Think once a day." spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:11 AM "You can read human letters?" Takaia asked. Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:14 AM "A little bit. Not very well, and not if there's any long words." spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:19 AM "I can't read a one." Takaia said. "So, I'll, ah, start taking these in the morning then." Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:28 AM "Alright. You can take them in water or something." spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:32 AM "Okay." taka said. Then se yawned. "Dunno about you, but I'm tired. Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:33 AM "I'm tired, too, and it's late," said Phelan. "Let's just go to sleep." spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:34 AM Takaia nodded and settled down, grabbing one of the blankets to use. Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:41 AM Phelan curled up next to her under a blanket. spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:45 AM *the next morning* Takaia awoke to the soud of her stomach grumbling, and sat up clutching her stomach. She was glad to discover that she hadn't eaten the lamb last night, and immediately began to devour it. Miranda_ 01-17-2010 12:50 AM Phelan muttered something in his sleep and turned over. spirit_queen 01-17-2010 12:51 AM Taka smiled at him, then grabbed one of the birth conrol pills and left the tent.

Miranda_ 01-20-2010 12:58 AM Phelan awoke instantly. "What is it?" spirit_queen 01-20-2010 01:03 AM "Breakfast." ^^ Takaia said. She was in a very good mood; were she in her canine form, her tail would have been wagging. Miranda_ 01-20-2010 01:12 AM "Thanks." Phelan started to eat his steak straight away. spirit_queen 01-20-2010 01:13 AM Takaia nodded. "No problem." Miranda_ 01-20-2010 01:27 AM It had snowed again in the night, and was still fairly cold out. spirit_queen 01-20-2010 01:29 AM Takaia would shiver here and again, but otherwise was dealing okay. Miranda_ 01-20-2010 01:47 AM Phelan organised members of the renegade pack into getting wood from the parks. There were quite a few in the town, and a new one was going up where the vigilante pack had lived before. spirit_queen 01-20-2010 01:50 AM Takaia would've gone, except that the sight of her old home would have been all but reassuring. Miranda_ 01-20-2010 01:58 AM Phelan wanted to save Taka the sight of it. spirit_queen 01-20-2010 02:00 AM Takaia, meanwhile, was asking Phelan something. "So, so there was this human who caught me rummaging in the trash cans. But he didn't chase me away. When I glowered and growled at him, he lifted this black box-shaped thingy with a cyllindrical thingy in the front and pushed some kinda button on the top, and then he went away. What was that thing?" Miranda_ 01-20-2010 02:08 AM "A camera." Phelan looked a bit worried. "Humans use them to take pictures. It might not be a good thing." spirit_queen 01-20-2010 02:08 AM "Take pictures?" Takaia asked, confused. "How does that box steal art?" Miranda_ 01-20-2010 02:24 AM Phelan rolled his eyes. "Forget it; I don't know how else to explain it and you're obviously not going to understand whatever I say." spirit_queen 01-20-2010 02:27 AM Takaia's shoulders slumped; she hated feeling like a sort of country bumpkin, an idiot who didn't seem to know anything worth knowing around here. Miranda_ 01-20-2010 02:30 AM "Just accept it as possibly being a bad thing. Tho, if you were in canine form, not so bad. Humans can't tell one canine from another, save by breed." All times are GMT.

Takaia said. "I just thought it was strange, is all." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 12:46 PM "It's worrying. If it happens again, try to get the box. You don't have to attack the human; just push them a bit. When humans are surprised, they drop things." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 12:58 PM "Okay. I wish he'd gotten someone else; I'm so skinny and ugly." Takaia said, examining her skin-a-bone arms with distaste. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 01:18 PM "Why should that matter?" spirit_queen 01-23-2010 01:31 PM "I dunno, but it does." Takaia said. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 01:34 PM Phelan shrugged. "Must be a girl thing or something. I don't care what humans think I look like." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 01:37 PM Takaia blushed at that. XD "I- I guess I don't like the idea of anyone judging me." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:08 PM "Who cares what the humans think? They're not better than us, like they believe." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 02:15 PM "It doens't matter that they're human; I just don't like anyone, be they human or canine, judging me." Takaia said. "I'm not pretty like Sinopa and Rika are." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:26 PM "You are to me," Phelan said, awkwardly. spirit_queen 01-23-2010 02:33 PM Takaia blushed. "You- you really think so?" she asked, looking him in the eye. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:34 PM "Of course I do," Phelan muttered. "I wouldn't have said it otherwise." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 02:38 PM Takaia grinned widely and hugged Phelan tightly. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:42 PM "Not so tight!" O_o spirit_queen 01-23-2010 02:50 PM "Sorry." Takaia relaxed her grip some and pulled back a little to look up at him. "Phelan, I think I love you." She hadn't used these words before, for she'd wanted to say them only when she was more or less sure. And now she was. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:53 PM Phelan looked back at Taka. "I love you, too. I've never felt this way about anyone before." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 02:58 PM Taka was so happy she could hardly stand it. Instead of replying to Phelan's statement with words, she stood on her tip-toes and kissed him. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 02:59 PM Phelan put his arms around her, and returned the kiss. spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:03 PM Takaia pulled back for a half second, jumped up and wrapped her legs around Phelan's waist, then continued to kiss him. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:04 PM It was getting very close to an x-scene. XD Phelan made sure that they were inside his tent, with the flaps secured, before it happened, tho. *later* spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:07 PM Rika went to check on Dolph. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:14 PM Dolph was much better, tho he still could not walk on his leg as of yet. spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:20 PM "Wonderful! You're really improving, Dolph; at this rate, you should be able to stand in about a week, though I can't as of yet say much for how far you could walk at that point." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:22 PM "I could walk on it before, tho. It hurt horribly, but I still did walk on it. I guess that could do it damage, tho." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:26 PM Rika nodded. "Exactly. I know you're probably spoiling for excercise, but it's best if you remain in here for a little longer." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:29 PM Dolph sighed. "I hate feeling helpless." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:45 PM "But it's not for much longer, I promise." Rika said. "You've done amazingly well so far." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:53 PM "I hope it doesn't last for much longer. I know I should be grateful and all, but I hate having to be brought food like a helpless cub." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 03:56 PM "I know. But it's almost over. Soon you'll be able to walk around. Not very fast yet, but you'll get better. I'm actually amazed at your progress; the gods have done you quite the favor." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 03:58 PM "It helps not to be in fear of my life, and to actually feel safe enough to rest up." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 04:01 PM "I'll bet." Rika said. "Well, I have to go now; I've been looking after Antos some to make sure she's having a healthy pregnancy." Miranda_ 01-23-2010 04:16 PM "Good thing too; that's very important." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 04:17 PM "Yeah, she would be devastated if she lost her cub." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-23-2010 04:22 PM "Everyone who's able will have to work hard to make sure that doesn't happen." spirit_queen 01-23-2010 04:24 PM "I know. And so I have to go now to check up on her; I'm already a litle late." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 12:29 PM "OK, I'll leave that to you. I wonder if Sharama is alright, and the cub, too?" spirit_queen 01-25-2010 08:53 PM "Takaia's checked up on her recently, and she sounds like she's fine. More than that, ctually. The cub is very healthy, and it sounds like it's growing non-stop." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 08:57 PM "That's a relief. I'd hate to think that any of the pack cubs weren't healthy." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 08:57 PM "Yeah. Well, I'll check up on you later, alright? Antos is waiting." Rika said. She got up and ready to leave. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 09:05 PM Dolph lay back down. He knew he couldn't delay Rika in attending to Antos. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:09 PM.

Miranda_ 01-25-2010 09:13 PM Antos didn't mind; she knew that Rika had a lot to do at the moment, especially with the injured pack members who'd arrived with Eltos. spirit_queen 01-25-2010 09:14 PM "Sorry I'm late, Antos." Rika said as soon as she arrived. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 09:22 PM "Don't worry," she replied. "I know you're busy." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 09:24 PM Rika nodded. "Let's get started, shall we?" Miranda_ 01-25-2010 09:54 PM Antos nodded. "Alright." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 09:56 PM Rika turned into her vupline form. "Will you lay down on your side?" Miranda_ 01-25-2010 10:01 PM Antos did so, changing to her wolf form. spirit_queen 01-25-2010 10:11 PM Rika put her ear to Antos' chest to check her breathing, and then put her ear to Antos' swollen belly. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 10:23 PM The cub moved slightly, and kicked out. spirit_queen 01-25-2010 10:26 PM Rika grinned an open-mouthed canine grin, then pulled away. "Have you been getting enough food? You look good, but I want to know if you're left hungry." Miranda_ 01-25-2010 10:41 PM "Yes, thanks," Antos said. "Aldo has been bringing lots of food, and the pack have been, too." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 10:45 PM "Gret. I think you're doing wonderful, and the cub is, too; I was almost kicked on the face when I was listening in for its little heartbeat!" Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 10:50 PM Antos gave a canine smile. "It does that a lot. I don't mind; it shows that the cub is strong and growing well." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 10:51 PM "You are very lucky." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 10:54 PM "I know it. Lucky that the cub is strong, even after everything we've been thru." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 10:58 PM "Yeah. And you should be due right on time, not early." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 11:00 PM "That's a relief. It means it'll be easier to prepare." spirit_queen 01-25-2010 11:01 PM "Yeah. Have you noticed how eager Eltos is for this cub?" Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 11:03 PM "Yes, I had noticed," Antos said. She had a fair idea why, but it wasn't her place to reveal this secret. spirit_queen 01-25-2010 11:07 PM "I tihnk it's very sweet." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 11:09 PM "Yes, it is," Antos said with a sigh. She wished that Eltos could love her as much as he already loved the unborn cub. spirit_queen 01-25-2010 11:12 PM "Well, I guess I'll leave you now; looks like you have enough food and water for the night." Rika said. Miranda_ 01-25-2010 11:23 PM "Yes; you can go and see to the others now who need your help." spirit_queen 01-26-2010 11:10 AM "Will do. I'll see you later, Antos." Rika said.

Sarah_K_O_M 01-30-2010 01:28 AM Aldo wandered into camp, looking for Phelan. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 12:09 PM Phelan was not surprisingly with Taka. spirit_queen 01-30-2010 12:47 PM TakaiaTakaia was talking about Antos' cub at that moment. XD "And I want to help raise it. He or she will be my lil' buddy." ^^ "I just love cubs!" Miranda_ 01-30-2010 12:57 PM Phelan didn't comment. spirit_queen 01-30-2010 01:05 PM Takaia paused for a moment. "Oh, I'm sorry.... I- I didn't mean to remind you..." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 01:33 PM "Doesn't matter; I'll get over it in time." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 01:39 PM Takaia nodded. "So, do you think there would be anything growing in the park still? I need more herbs." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 01:54 PM "I expect so. The humans maintain the parks all year round." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 01:56 PM "Good. Can we go now?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 02:05 PM "Sure," Phelan said, unaware that Aldo was looking for him. XD spirit_queen 01-30-2010 02:11 PM So Taka crawled out of the tent. "Yay." ^^ Miranda_ 01-30-2010 02:23 PM "Do you want to go to the park we went to before? We can pick up some more sticks there, too." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 02:31 PM "Sure. You lead the way." Takaia replied. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 02:35 PM "Hold my hand when we get to the main road." Phelan led Taka to the park. spirit_queen 01-30-2010 02:39 PM Takaia clung to him when they went by the main road; no matter how many times she went nearby the big street, the cars whizzinh by at nearly 50 miles per hour always freaked her out. All times are GMT. The time now is 12:17 PM.

Though, to her credit, she didn't shake when they walked by the road anymore. xD Miranda_ 01-30-2010 09:05 PM "Just keep close to me," Phelan whispered to Taka. "And you'll be fine." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 09:07 PM Taka nodded. "Thank you, Phel." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 09:10 PM "Most humans won't take any notice of us, not unless you do something that looks unusual to them." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 09:12 PM "Does clinging to you like this count?" Taka asked. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 09:45 PM Phelan shrugged. "Not in the slightest. Humans do it to each other, when they're dating." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 09:54 PM "Dating? What does that mean?" Takaia asked. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 09:58 PM "What they do when they want to be mates." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:04 PM "Oh. So, by hun terminology, we would be dating?" Takaia said. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:10 PM "That's right," Phelan replied. "Cept they tend to go places. It's far too risky for us to do that; canines aren't allowed in restaurants, bars or theatres, and if they caught us in there, there'd be hell to pay." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:14 PM "Oh. Well, I guess we can consider our trip to the park a date, then; if we can't do it their way, we'll do it our way." Taka said. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:22 PM "Yes. It's better that way, rather than trying to defy the humans and sneaking into their places," Phelan replied. "I heard that two of your pack did that; they might have gotten away with it this time, but if they try it again and get caught, it won't just be them that suffers. "The humans would jump at the chance to use that kind of thing as an example of why we ought to be kept in our places, and they'll just come down heavilly on all canines as a result. I've seen it happen." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:23 PM "Humans are such cruel, cruel creatures." takaia said. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:25 PM "They're just too used to getting their own way, that's all," said Phelan. "That is what mine and Aldo's plan is all about. However, at least we have the sense to leave it til the spring, when the cubs will be fine if the humans retaliate." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:26 PM TTakaia nodded. "And I've already offered my help, for what it's worth." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:32 PM "The cubs we have now will be old enough to forage by themselves in a month or so," Phelan said. "Laika and Mist have been taking them to the park and teaching them how to forage; they're all getting on well, even the one that was sickly before." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:34 PM "That's wonderful!" Takaia said. "But what of Antos' and Sharama's cubs?" Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:39 PM "They'd be on mothers' milk still, I expect. So, that won't be a problem as long as the mothers get fed first. Sharama will stay at Aldo's til her cub is old enough." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:42 PM "Okay." Taka said. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 10:48 PM "We've got everything planned out, pretty much." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 10:51 PM "Wow." Taka said. "Hey, look, there's the park!" Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:10 PM "Good. Seeing as it's before lunch, we'll have plenty of time to get what we need before the humans arrive." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 11:14 PM "Definitely." Takaia said. She ran head into the park, giggling. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:22 PM Phelan ran after Taka, trying to keep her in sight. spirit_queen 01-30-2010 11:24 PM Taka skiwed when she came to the little wooded area, and she began to pick herbs, humming all the while. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:28 PM Phelan started to collect sticks. Once he had a good sized bundle, he tied it firmly with string and began on another. spirit_queen 01-30-2010 11:33 PM Taka filled her bags with herbs, then began to help Phelan with the sticks. Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:36 PM "We need to take as many as we can carry," Phelan said. "The fire can't be allowed to go out." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 11:40 PM Takaia nodded. "It would be so, soooo cold if that fire died." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:48 PM "Exactly. And we need to stay warm, especially the cubs and anyone who's still injured." spirit_queen 01-30-2010 11:51 PM Taka's arms were soon full of bundles of sticks, and her bags. "Um, I think i'm almost overloaded." Miranda_ 01-30-2010 11:57 PM Phelan pulled the biggest bundles on to his own back. "That better? We can get back to camp, now." spirit_queen 01-31-2010 12:00 AM "Thank you." Taka said. She got up next to him. "Let's go." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:03 AM Phelan took Taka back to camp. It started to snow again. spirit_queen 01-31-2010 12:05 AM Takaia shivered. "Eww. Cold." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:18 AM "I'm fed up with snow," Phelan said. He put a spare arm around Taka. Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 12:20 AM Aldo was pacing up and down the camp. spirit_queen 01-31-2010 12:22 AM Taka huddled closer to Phelan. "I am, too." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:26 AM Eventually, they got back to the camp. Phelan dumped the bundles of wood down by the fire, dropping some inside the steel bin. All times are GMT.

"Phel, I need to talk to you. In private." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:41 AM "Sure," Phelan replied. To Taka, he said, "I won't be long; you can go back to the tent, if you like." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 12:44 AM Aldo led him away. Every now and again he rub at his eyes were sore and bloodshot looking. Once they got to a place Aldo deemed sufficiently private he turned to Phelan and caught his shoulders, looking him straight in the eyes. "Phel, I... I think you should kill me." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:49 AM Phelan stared at him. "And why should I do that?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 12:50 AM "Because I'm a traitor. I'm a f*cking useless, piece of sh*t traitor and I deserve it." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:52 AM "I need a better reason than that, you know. I want to know why you think you're a traitor, and what you've done." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 12:56 AM "Oh man, where do I start? How about the fact that I'm in love with a f*cking pet? She's smart and she's beautiful and she's a pet, a pet a pet." By now Aldo was walking back and forth, a few steps in each direction. He was raking his hands through his hair. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 12:58 AM Phelan made a face, then straighted it again. "I guess that, in the big scheme of things, that's bad, but not meriting being killed for." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:00 AM "Are you kidding me? Every day we all say something about how much we hate them. About how stupid they are, or how nasty or... or anything! And it's not the worst. It's not it's not." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 01:02 AM "All the pets I've personally met have been bad. I guess there could be one or two who are the exception to that rule." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:06 AM "There's more though. I could live with that, I think I could, I don't know..." Aldo sank to the ground. "Phel, I don't even know what the f*ck I am anymore." he whispered, "I don't know. I'm some f*cking freak and I'm neither one or the other. Have you seen how I live? Have you seen? I'm practically HUMAN!" Miranda_ 01-31-2010 01:20 AM "That's only cuz you won't use your canine shape at all," Phelan said. "I use mine a lot; you hardly ever do. In fact, I don't think you've used it for months." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:24 AM "Because I don't like it. It doesn't feel right, like a coat six sixes too small. It moves wrong, feels wrong." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 01:34 AM "That's only cuz you never use it. If you used it more, you'd feel more canine." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:36 AM "No I wouldn't! You don't know, Phel. You don't know. About my dad, about how I grew up, about what it's like and I hate this. I hate being like this. Just kill me, please." Aldo looked up at him, tears in his eyes. "Please." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 01:42 AM "So tell me," Phelan said. He hesitated about killing Aldo; he didn't want to, but he would have done so without a second thought a short while ago. Taka had helped him come to terms with himself, and his guilt over the loss of his cub; he no longer felt as tho he wanted to tear throats out for little reason. Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:45 AM "My dad... He wanted to prove there's no difference between us. So he, uh, 'went native' I guess you could call it. Stayed in human form. Got a job. A house. Mum did the same. When they had me and my sister they didn't raise us like canines. We never used our canine forms. We shopped instead of hunting. Went to school. Didn't you ever wonder why I can read?" Miranda_ 01-31-2010 01:52 AM Phelan stared in bafflement at Aldo. "Why do that? That's just stupid. We shouldn't have to pretend to be human just so that they accept us. They should accept us the way we are." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 01:54 AM "He wanted to prove there's no difference, that canines are not lesser. Show them for definite. He didn't want us to act human. But I can't stop." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:10 AM "But, there is a difference. Doesn't mean that we're lesser, but we're not the same as them and we never will be. He's caused you a lot of damage by bringing you up that way; you'd need to work hard in order to overcome it, even just a little." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:12 AM "I can't. Don't you think I've tried to. It's hopeless, I'm helpless, there's no point anymore. I've got a human education, a house, I've even got a job. A job. Why try fight it? I should just be put down." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:17 AM Phelan fixed him with a hard stare. "There's a good reason why you should fight it. Sharama. She and her cub are depending on you, you can't let them down. Also, Antos is relying on you to bring her extra food for her pregnancy. "I could maybe help you with being more canine; but it'll take work, especially with how your father brought you up." Phelan scowled. "He's crippled you, just as if he ripped off one of your limbs. He's the one who deserves to die, not you." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:21 AM "He is dead. They shot him, and my mother. Maybe my sister. I don't know. I haven't seen her since." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:21 AM "What I said still stands, tho." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:22 AM "It's too late." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:31 AM "So, you're just going to abandon Sharama, then, and let her cub die, just cuz you're too cowardly to fight back? I thought you were better than that." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:33 AM "I'm not. I can barely act like a canine, how can I act decent?" Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:34 AM "I said, I can help you with that." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:37 AM "But you can't. It's too far gone. I can't change. I'm only going to make it worse. The humans will use me as evidence that we don't deserve better because they'll think we want to be like them. Tthey'll point and say 'oh look how he turned out you're not meant to be free, you can't handle it' and it'll be my fault." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:40 AM "Fine, then just go. Walk away. I just hope you can live with yourself when Sharama's cub dies of the cold or has to be given up to the humans." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:42 AM "No, I won't be able to. Phel, have you missed the entire point of this conversation?" Aldo said, sounding nearer to his snarky old self than he had for days. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:46 AM "As far as I can see, you're asking me to kill you. Every single solution I've offered, you've shot down in flames. Just what the hell do you want, anyway? Think I found it easy to change myself, even a little?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:47 AM "No. But you could be helped. I can't change what makes me into me. You're strong, I'm weak. You can, I can't." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 02:54 AM Phelan was getting tired of arguing. He had no intention of killing Aldo, but he didn't want Aldo to go and suicide, not when there was more at stake. "I'll make a deal with you," Phelan said. "You stay alive til Sharama and Antos' cubs are strong enough to survive out here, and when they are, I'll kill you, and I'll make it quick and clean." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 02:56 AM Aldo stared down at his feet. "That sounds fair. I shouldn't shirk my duty." He looked up with a very weak half-smile gratitude. "Thanks, Phel." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:02 AM "You're welcome, tho you shouldn't be thanking me for something like that. I'm only offering cuz I know you'll make a mess out of killing yourself and end up suffering or something." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 03:03 AM "I was thinking of going to sleep in a snow drift. I don't want to leave a mess for anyone to clean up." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:06 AM "Someone would still have to dispose of your frozen corpse." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 03:07 AM "Be a lot better than any of you scrubbing off my brains or rinsing out my blood." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:08 AM "I'd kill you away from the camp, of course. Let the humans do all that." All times are GMT. The time now is 12:18 PM.

But thanks. I don't want the rest to know. Only one I want to say goodbye to is Kasa. The rest... I don't know, tell them the humans killed me or something, or I fell into a lake and was too lazy to get back out." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:16 AM Phelan nodded. "Something like that." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 03:21 AM "That does seem like me." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:27 AM "Better hope your sister doesn't really turn up afterwards." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 03:29 AM "She won't. She would have by now." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 03:31 AM "Not necessarily. I know that my mother isn't going to turn up here, but I know she's still alive." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 03:59 PM "I don't think Adin is." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 04:08 PM "You don't know that for sure, tho." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 04:09 PM "It's not likely that she's alive." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 04:27 PM "Have it your own way. Be all doom and gloom." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 04:31 PM "Too late." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 04:43 PM "I need to go and check on the fire. Go and do something constructive; and remember our deal, OK?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 04:48 PM Aldo went off to be constructive. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 04:49 PM Phelan went back to check on the fire, and Taka. *later* Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 04:51 PM Aldo was talking to Kasa. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 04:55 PM Kasa was wondering what was up with Aldo. Something seemed off about the way he acted. Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 07:16 PM He was being very quiet, moreso than usual. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 09:51 PM "Anything the matter?" Kasa said. "You're very quiet." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 09:55 PM "It's all fine. I just had to ask Phel to do something and now I'm distracted thinking about it." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 10:13 PM "What did you ask him to do?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 10:14 PM "Nothing important, trust me." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 10:20 PM Kasa looked a bit doubtful, but didn't press the issue. "Just try to forget it for tonight, alright?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 10:21 PM "I'll try. You want to kiss?" Miranda_ 01-31-2010 10:29 PM "Yes, I would. I'll just change first." Kasa took her human form. Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 10:32 PM Aldo hopped over the fence. "I should buy you jewellery." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 10:37 PM "I wouldn't have anywhere to put it when I wasn't wearing it." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 10:49 PM "You're right. I just wish I could though." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 10:52 PM "So do I. Maybe when things are different." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 10:59 PM If they ever are." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:02 PM Kasa sighed. "I'm hoping they will be." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:06 PM Aldo gave her a little kiss. "Uh.... Think happy?" Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:08 PM "It's hard to, but what other choice do we have? Better to think positive than believe things can never get better." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:13 PM Aldo shrugged. "I'm not a positive thinker." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:17 PM "Then maybe it's time to do otherwise." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:24 PM "It's harder than you'd think." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:26 PM "Have you even tried?" Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:28 PM "Rarely, yes." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:37 PM "'Rarely' says it all, really." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:39 PM "I'm also very, very lazy." Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:43 PM "So you won't even try?" All times are GMT. The time now is 12:18 PM.

Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:49 PM "So, try some more. If I can, then you can." Sarah_K_O_M 01-31-2010 11:52 PM Aldo looked doubtful. Miranda_ 01-31-2010 11:59 PM "I'll support you if you at least try to act positive once in a while." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 12:11 AM "I do try, sometimes. I'm helping Phel with something in spring." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 12:17 AM "What's that, then? Or is it a secret?" Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 12:18 AM "It's still kind of up in the air. Not fully planned out." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 12:21 AM "Could I help you with it, whatever it is?" Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 05:05 PM "I don;t know." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 07:50 PM "I might be able to get you food and stuff, maybe." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 09:48 PM "...Could you do that now even?" Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:01 PM "Not a huge amount, but enough. I know where my master keeps the food, and he's been distracted lately." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:02 PM "If you could get it it'd be amazing help." Aldo said gratefully, "We're trying to make sure the cubs are getting enough to eat so they're strong come Spring." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:09 PM "I could get some for you, now, if you want." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:09 PM "Yeah, could you? Please do. I'll take it when I go." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:16 PM Kasa nodded and went into the house. She returned several minutes later carrying a bag of premium pet food, which she gave to Aldo. "There's loads of bags in there; I think he doesn't even realise how much food I have. It won't go off, but it just shows he's distracted." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:22 PM Aldo dropped the bag and kissed her. "You're amazing." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:25 PM Kasa smiled and returned the kiss. Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:36 PM Aldo held her close for a moment or two, stroking her hair. Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:40 PM "I just want to help, any way I can, with your cause." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:41 PM "Thanks, Kasa." he said, "It... it means a lot." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:50 PM "Just make sure you keep coming to visit me." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 10:52 PM "I will, for as long as I possibly can." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 10:58 PM "I can give you some more food, after my master's bought some more." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:01 PM "Great." he said, smiling. He looked better than he had for ages. Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:03 PM Kasa tenderly stroked his hair. Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:11 PM "You know, if I could I'd marry you." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:12 PM "I wish you could, too. Maybe one day, we will be able to." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:19 PM "Yeah, maybe...." Aldo said, certain that it would never really happen. But he couldn't help think that hey, it's nice to dream. Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:21 PM Kasa too didn't think that they'd be able to get that right any time soon. She was realistic; however, there was no harm in the fantasy. Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:34 PM "Maybe I should give you a ring or something. Something you could hide." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:40 PM "I could maybe hide it in my bed," Kasa said, considering. "Only the coverings get washed. If I hid it underneath, it would be safe." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:45 PM "Now I just have to get one good enough for you." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:54 PM "Whatever it is, I'll like it cuz it's from you." Sarah_K_O_M 02-01-2010 11:56 PM "I don't want to give you rubbish though. You're too good for it. You're too good for me." Miranda_ 02-01-2010 11:58 PM "That's an odd sentiment coming from a renegade towards a pet." Kasa smiled faintly to take the sting off it. Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 12:07 AM "It's true though, isn't it?" Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:11 AM "I wouldn't know, cuz to my mind, we're both canines so what does it matter?" Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 12:14 AM "It's not canine stuff though. It's actual worth, nothing to do with class or creed." Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:20 AM "How do you figure that out? I've never done anything at all." All times are GMT. The time now is 12:18 PM. Page 80 of 82 « First < 30 70 78 79 80 81 82 > Show 40 post(s) from this thread on one page © 2007 The Doll Palace |

Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:30 AM "Only to those who treat me as an equal. Not all renegades do." Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 12:36 AM "Not all pets treat us like you treat me." Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:38 AM "For some, it's not so much cuz they feel that way, it's cuz attack is the best line of defence," said Kasa. "Or cuz they've had it drummed into them from birth. That's usually the ones who are bred for it." Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 12:40 AM "How'd you escape?" Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:47 AM "I don't know," Kasa said. "Maybe it's cuz my parents were not bred to the life; they were renegades like yourself, and they gave me to the humans cuz it was the best thing to do." Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 12:48 AM "Maybe. I wonder what would have happened if you'd been a renegade though." Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:53 AM "I would have died, probably. I was always delicate as a cub, I remember that. I was ill all the time." Sarah_K_O_M 02-02-2010 01:11 AM "It's a shame. It would have been... Interesting." Miranda_ 02-02-2010 01:15 AM "We'll never know now." spirit_queen 02-02-2010 01:32 AM *meanwhile, back at camp* Rika was free, for she'd already checked on all of her patients and all seemed to be doing pretty well. Miranda_ 02-02-2010 01:39 AM Antos had gone to get a drink, but was back in her tent. She was about to call out to Rika, but instead, she doubled up as a lance of pain shot thru her. She knew what it was; she was going into labour. Instinctively, Antos changed to her wolf shape to make the birth easier, for the cub would come out in cub form, then. spirit_queen 02-02-2010 01:42 AM Rika had heard Antos cry out breifly, and rushed to her tent. "Antos?" Miranda_ 02-02-2010 02:05 AM Antos gasped out, "The cub. It's coming." She fell on to her side as another contraction ripped thru her. spirit_queen 02-02-2010 10:52 AM "Shh." Rika said. "Breathe deeply and evenly." Rika said as she grabbed some wrap she'd left in Anto's tent just for this occassion, as well as some water. Miranda_ 02-02-2010 11:33 AM Antos tried to follow Rika's instructions, but it was difficult when her only thought was that she wanted this cub so much. spirit_queen 02-02-2010 11:38 AM Rika carefully instructed Antos through the birthing. Miranda_ 02-02-2010 11:42 AM Eventually, after a long and protracted labour, the cub was born. It was a female. spirit_queen 02-02-2010 11:50 AM Rika immediately cleared the cub's face. The little cub then began to whine, which Rika took as a good sign; she was breathing just fine. Rika used some wrap to get the rest of the gunk off her, then placed the cub beside her mother to feed. "What's her name, Antos?" Miranda_ 02-02-2010 11:53 AM Antos looked down on her cub, tired but happy. "Her name's Mallika," she replied. spirit_queen 02-02-2010 11:54 AM "She looks a lot like you. Do you want me to go get the Eltos?" Rika asked. Miranda_ 02-02-2010 11:59 AM "Yes please," Antos replied. "He should see his daughter at once." spirit_queen 02-02-2010 12:01 PM "I'll be right back." Rika said with a smile before leaving the tent. She soon returned with the Eltos, who was in his wolf form. He licked his mate's cheek. "She looks just like you." Miranda_ 02-02-2010 12:06 PM "Thanks," Antos replied. "Her name's Mallika; I chose it as soon as I knew I was having her." spirit_queen 02-02-2010 08:08 PM "It's perfect for her." Eltos said, grinning an open-mouthed canine grin. He gently licked his daughter, who was nursing. Eltos settled down beside his mate. "How are you feeling?" Miranda_ 02-03-2010 08:20 PM "Fine, thanks," Antos replied. "Just tired." spirit_queen 02-04-2010 10:44 AM "That's understandable." Eltos said. "Would you like me to leave and let you rest, then?" Miranda_ 02-04-2010 08:10 PM "No; stay with me a little longer," Antos said. "Besides, Mallika is still nursing. I'll sleep when she's finished." spirit_queen 02-04-2010 09:54 PM The Eltos nodded. "Alright, I'll stay." He looked down at Mallika. "I'll probably end up calling her Malli." Miranda_ 02-05-2010 12:53 PM "I expect she'll like that." Antos fell silent. She wished more than anything that Eltos could look at her with love, but she knew it was a vain wish. spirit_queen 02-05-2010 07:29 PM The Eltos, of course, was completely oblivious to the Anto's feelings for him. He did notice the way she'd fallen so quiet, however. "Is something wrong?" The Eltos asked with the same tone one would ask a close friend. Miranda_ 02-06-2010 12:04 AM "Nothing's wrong, nothing at all," she replied. She had hidden her feelings for so long, and was going to go on hiding them. spirit_queen 02-06-2010 02:05 AM "Are you tired? Do you want me to go?" eltos asked. Miranda_ 02-06-2010 02:15 AM "Not just yet," she replied. Antos looked lovingly at her cub. spirit_queen 02-06-2010 02:17 AM The cub was slowing down at feeding. Eltos also turned his gaze to hid daughter, and his eyes were full of love and adoration for her. "My Malli." He said softly and tenderly. Miranda_ 02-06-2010 02:24 AM "When she's finished, I'll sleep for a while," Antos said. spirit_queen 02-06-2010 02:30 AM "I'll leave you at that point." Eltos said. "I wouldn't want to keep you from your rest." Miranda_ 02-06-2010 01:08 PM "Thank you," Antos said. "We both need to rest; birth is exhausting for both mother and cub." spirit_queen 02-06-2010 01:14 PM "I can only imagine." Eltos said. The Eltos tenderly licked Malli, who appeared to be almost done nursing. Miranda_ 02-06-2010 01:19 PM As soon as Malli was done, Antos settled down to take a nap. "I'll see you later, then," she said. "Perhaps you could bring me something for food later; I'll need to nurse Malli again and I won't be able to go out to forage." All times are GMT.

Miranda_ 02-10-2010 11:13 PM Dolph was experimentally trying to stand on his bad leg. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 12:05 AM "Whoah, whoah, careful." Rika said gently. "Let me check it to see if I think your leg can stand that kind of strain yet." Miranda_ 02-11-2010 01:38 PM "I'm getting bored of being stuck in this tent," Dolph said, grumpily as he lay back down and offered his leg for inspection. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 06:14 PM "I know, I know." Rika said. She quickly examined his leg. "Well, I think you can try to stad, but do be careful, and don't try to be macho or tough; if your leg starts to bother you, then get back down, understand?" Miranda_ 02-11-2010 06:40 PM "I will," Dolph said. "I'll stay at camp til I can walk properly. And I guess I'd better take human form now." spirit_queen 02-11-2010 09:42 PM "I'll help you with your clothing; even if you don't care what the humans think, it's mighty cold and the clothes really do help once they absorb your body heat." Rika replied. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 09:50 PM "I'll take your word for it, but it's still stupid." spirit_queen 02-11-2010 09:51 PM Rika shrugged. "I know, I know, but if we stand out too much, we'll be killed or kidnapped for sure; we can't stand up to the humans with brute force." Miranda_ 02-11-2010 09:56 PM "They already proved that," Dolph said, with some bitterness. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 09:59 PM "And that's why we have to wear clothes." Rika said, finding the clothes Phelan had lain out for Dolph a while back. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 10:10 PM Dolph changed to his human form. He had light blonde hair and grey eyes. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 10:11 PM Rika handed him the boxers and instructed him in how to put them on. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 10:27 PM With some difficulty, Dolph struggled into the clothes. He didn't feel at all comfortable wearing them. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 10:29 PM "Er, I have to go get you shoes; Phelan didn't know how large your feet would be." Rika said. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 10:41 PM "Shoes? Do I really need them? They look as tho they'd be hard to walk in." spirit_queen 02-11-2010 10:43 PM "They're not so bad once you get used to them. And, yes, you will, but not yet; first, let's see if you can stand in and walk around in this tent witohut too much difficulty." Rika said. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 10:50 PM "It's too small; I'm taller in this form, I'd knock it down." spirit_queen 02-11-2010 10:54 PM "Oh, right... then, uh, you will need shoes. Hold on a minute, then." Rika said. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 10:59 PM "I can hardly do anything else," Dolph replied. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 11:02 PM Rika shrugged, left... and soon returned with a pair of trainers she hoped owuld fit Dolph. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 11:07 PM They did. He had trouble with the laces, tho. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 11:09 PM Rika helped him and taught him how to do them, then undid them and made him do them the way she taught him. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 11:27 PM Dolph sighed heavily. He hated feeling stupid and useless. spirit_queen 02-11-2010 11:33 PM "Please jsut try it, Dolph." Rika said. Miranda_ 02-11-2010 11:46 PM "I am trying. -.- I'm wearing the clothes, aren't I?" spirit_queen 02-12-2010 02:11 AM "No, I meant to lace up and tie your shoes on your own." Rika said. Miranda_ 02-13-2010 07:56 PM "I don't even want to learn that. I shouldn't have to. I'll just tuck the laces in next time." spirit_queen 02-13-2010 07:59 PM "Um, okay, then." Rika said. "Well, let's see about that leg, then." Miranda_ 02-13-2010 08:10 PM Dolph rolled up his jeans so that Rika could see his leg. The bandages were coming loose. spirit_queen 02-13-2010 08:11 PM Rika removed the bandages and applied some new salve. "Your leg looks great." She said as she put on some new bandaging. Miranda_ 02-13-2010 08:24 PM "It feels better now; it doesn't hurt so much, either." spirit_queen 02-13-2010 08:26 PM "I should think so." rika said. "Well, let's take you out of this tent at last." Miranda_ 03-13-2010 03:09 PM "Would be better than nothing, I guess," Dolph said. "Tho, I still won't be able to hunt." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 03:14 PM "Dolpha, we can't really hunt anymore; the humans have started contruction out where out section of the woods were, which probably scared all the good game away." Rika said. "I'm sorry." Miranda_ 03-13-2010 03:22 PM Dolph scowled. "Maybe, in that case, we should start hunting them." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 03:22 PM Rika looked a bit alarmed. XD "And have them gun us down?" Miranda_ 03-13-2010 03:30 PM "I didn't mean we'd have to do it openly. But we shouldn't just be sitting around, letting them walk all over us." All times are GMT.

Rika said, shuddering. Miranda_ 03-13-2010 03:47 PM "In which case, nothing's going to change at all." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 03:50 PM "Dolph, then they'll just see us as the savages they think we are. Do you honestly believe that any good can come from that?" Rika said. She held open the tent flap for him to make his wat outside. Miranda_ 03-13-2010 03:59 PM "At least they'll stop trying to exterminate us like vermin." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 04:00 PM "But then they'll renew their efforts to steal our pups an 'domesticate' them." Rika said. "Dolph, I- I can't have that." Miranda_ 03-13-2010 04:35 PM "Don't bother trying to guilt trip me, it won't work. And what you're saying is crap. They do that, cuz they think we're mindless animals. Anyway, you can't stop me, so don't even try." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 04:59 PM "But can't you wait a bit longer? At least until your leg is better? If you put strain on it now, it will only worsen." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-13-2010 05:05 PM "Of course I'm going to wait til then, but not a moment longer." spirit_queen 03-13-2010 05:20 PM Rika sighed, then nodded. "Alright, let's see how you can walk for now." Miranda_ 03-14-2010 03:46 PM Dolph made a poor showing; as well as his injuries, his muscles had stiffened somewhat. spirit_queen 03-14-2010 04:33 PM Rika walked beside him in case he needed support. "Remember, if it hurts too much or you get tired, just stop, okay?" Miranda_ 03-14-2010 04:44 PM Dolph gritted his teeth with the pain, but said nothing. He was determined to walk properly and not be so helpless. spirit_queen 03-14-2010 04:45 PM After a while, Rikasaid. "Okay, stop." Miranda_ 03-14-2010 04:51 PM Dolph stopped, leaning against a fence post. spirit_queen 03-14-2010 04:55 PM Rika brought him some water. "Here, drink some of this." Miranda_ 03-14-2010 05:07 PM Dolph gulped down the water, breathing heavily. spirit_queen 03-14-2010 05:10 PM Rika pulled over a small box. "Sit for a moment, Dolph." Miranda_ 03-14-2010 05:18 PM Dolph sat down, thankfully. "It would be easier for me to walk as a wolf than as a human," he said. "Easier to support my bad leg." spirit_queen 03-14-2010 05:20 PM "Yes, but I want to see how you react in human form; in wolf form, you'll rely on your other legs more, which will make it harder for me to assess just how far you've come." Miranda_ 03-14-2010 05:29 PM "It still hurts a lot, and my muscles are stiff, a bit." spirit_queen 03-14-2010 05:31 PM "Well, now I've had time to assess how much work needs done." Rika said. "So let's do some stretches and simple excercises, okay?" Miranda_ 03-14-2010 05:44 PM "Alright, but I'll be using my normal form to get about from now on." spirit_queen 03-14-2010 05:48 PM "Just don't tire yourself, Dolph; none of that macho man bull, got it?" Riuka said. Miranda_ 03-14-2010 06:13 PM "And I won't go far from camp, either." spirit_queen 03-14-2010 11:37 PM "Good." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 03:58 PM "We have to do something, tho," said Dolph. "We can't just let these humans destroy our homes, our way of living and walk all over us." spirit_queen 03-15-2010 06:51 PM Rika looked sad and more than a bit weary. "That's not my place; I'm useless as a fighter, and you know it." It wasn't a sexist statement against herself; there were plenty of capable female fighters. Rika just wasn't one of them. She was far too soft, both mentally and physically, to be a decent warrior of any kind. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 07:01 PM "You can still take on the thinking side." spirit_queen 03-15-2010 07:04 PM "Tactics? Dolph, you're talking to the girl who can barely willingly kill a squirrel for a meal; knowingly planning out something violent... I couldn't." Rika said, shaking her head. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 07:32 PM Dolph rolled his eyes. "So you'd just sit there and watch as the humans take the cubs and kill your pack members before your eyes?" spirit_queen 03-15-2010 07:38 PM Rika looked down and twiddled her thumbs. "I- I don't want to, but the thought of me willfully killing someone or creating a situation where someone dies... I can't, Dolph. Why do you think I trained to be a healer and a singer?" Miranda_ 03-15-2010 07:56 PM "Never said anything about killing, you know. Just fighting for our rights." spirit_queen 03-15-2010 07:57 PM "Oh." rika said. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 08:12 PM "I'm sure you'd fight too, if someone you cared for was attacked. What if humans attacked Raoul, or a cub you'd had with him?" spirit_queen 03-15-2010 08:15 PM "I'd fight in defense, but I doubt I'd do any good." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 08:31 PM "That's a defeatist attitude. Neither Sharama or Fan stood a chance against the humans taking the cubs, but they still fought." spirit_queen 03-15-2010 08:34 PM Rika bit her lip and nodded. Miranda_ 03-15-2010 08:50 PM "I didn't stand a chance either, but I fought, too. It was instinctive." spirit_queen 03-15-2010 08:52 PM "We all thought you were dead." Miranda_ 03-15-2010 09:12 PM "That's not surprising. A lot of us were." All times are GMT. The time now is 09:34 PM.

It was bad." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-16-2010 11:56 PM "Worse for you than us; we knew that Antos would have gotten you all to safety." spirit_queen 03-17-2010 12:06 AM "Antos... she looked terrible. she thought she watched him die, as did I." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-17-2010 12:38 AM "She's alright now tho; now she knows he's alive, and has her cub." spirit_queen 03-17-2010 12:44 AM "Speaking of that, cub, I need to go see her soon to check up." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-17-2010 12:55 AM Dolph sighed. "I'd like to check on Sharama, but I'd never be able to make it as far as Aldo's place." spirit_queen 03-17-2010 01:26 AM Rika smiled. "Sharama is glowing with health, as is the cub." Miranda_ 03-17-2010 12:14 PM "That's a relief, but I'd still like to see them." spirit_queen 03-17-2010 12:20 PM "You will eventually, I promise." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-17-2010 12:24 PM *later* Phelan had noticed Sinopa slipping off every now and then, and wondered where she was going. She sometimes went back to visit Rusty, that was true; but these times, she left in a different direction. He decided to follow her scent and find out where she was going. spirit_queen 03-20-2010 01:14 PM Meanwhile, Eltos was going to speak to Antos about something. Miranda_ 03-20-2010 01:21 PM Antos had just finished feeding her cub, Mallika, and was now watching the other cubs play while keeping an eye on hers. Mallika was far too little to join in the rough play of the older cubs. spirit_queen 03-20-2010 01:24 PM Eltos came up beside her, in wolf form. "Do you mind if we talked?" Miranda_ 03-20-2010 01:25 PM Antos was also in her wolf form; she nodded. "Alright. It'll have to be here; this is as private as needed and I need to watch Mallika." spirit_queen 03-20-2010 01:28 PM "Of course." The Eltos looked at his daughter, and he glowed with pride. "She's so beautiful, and so strong already for her age."He sat down beside his mate, then cleared his throat. "But that's not what I came to talk about, obviously..." He shifted his weight a bit awkwardly, which was unusual for him; Eltos was usually a stong, confident man, but now he was acting almost like an awkward teenager. "I- ah, well, to put it blunty, I- I- I think I've got the madness for you," he whispered. Miranda_ 03-20-2010 01:33 PM This was not what Antos was expecting; she was at first struck dumb. "Are you sure that's what you feel?" she said, while in her heart she was longing for this to be true. Ooc: Got to go, bye! spirit_queen 03-20-2010 01:38 PM The Eltos swallowed and nodded. "Yes. I've been fighting it since you had little Malli." He paused. "And I've had the madness before, so I know what it's like; I've got all the symptoms." Miranda_ 03-21-2010 12:13 AM "So have I," whispered Antos. "I've had the madness for you for ages, ever since we first met, but I kept it hidden." spirit_queen 03-21-2010 11:15 AM "What? R-really?" Eltos said. "I- I would have never guessed." Silent_Wolf 03-21-2010 11:55 AM Sinopa opened the door and shut it behind her after she stepped in, and she looked around for Todd. "You here or did you run off?" She glanced over her shoulder; she had the weirdest feeling that she was being followed. She knew it was a silly thought indeed, but couldn't shake it. Miranda_ 03-21-2010 01:43 PM "Always," Antos whispered. "I could never tell you before, tho." Phelan had followed Sinopa and was in fact, waiting outside. Todd looked bored and very sulky. He came out of his hiding place and trotted towards her. Silent_Wolf 03-21-2010 01:44 PM "Aren't you just grouchy." She sighed and knelt down, patting him on the head. "I'm going to talk to Phel today about asking if you can come into the camp. Just promise me you won't be nasty, or you'll get us both in trouble. And I'm more concerned about you getting into trouble, because you're a pet and all. Phel could easily kick your ass." Miranda_ 03-21-2010 01:56 PM "I guess so," Todd grumbled. "It'll at least be better than being stuck here all by myself the whole time." Silent_Wolf 03-21-2010 01:59 PM "I'm going to teach you how to scavenge, too. Or you can help around the camp." Miranda_ 03-21-2010 02:31 PM "Why would I help? I don't know how." Silent_Wolf 03-21-2010 02:42 PM "It's either that or Phel'll kick you out, and you'll probably end up killed if that happens." Miranda_ 03-21-2010 03:19 PM "I don't care. I'm not doing everything just cuz your friend says so." spirit_queen 03-21-2010 05:23 PM The Eltos licked her beneath the chin, and then touched his nose to hers, which was the canine equivalent to kissing. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 01:11 AM Antos felt as tho her heart would burst with happiness. What she had always longed for, was now hers. spirit_queen 03-22-2010 09:33 AM Eltos was still amazed at how long she'd kept her affection a secret; he never would have been able to do that, himself. Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 10:06 AM Quote: Originally Posted by Miranda_ (Post 900921) "I don't care. I'm not doing everything just cuz your friend says so." "You really want to have an ear ripped off?" Miranda_ 03-22-2010 12:39 PM "I'll stay here, then. I'm not going to live like trash just cuz you and your psycho friends say so." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 07:12 PM "Fine. But someone followed me out here." Sinopa could hear somebody outside. "I won't be able to keep taking care of you, and you'll end up on your own if that happens. You'll end up on your own, worse than 'trash' because you've got nobody to take care of you." She wasn't yelling; she just sounded tired. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 07:27 PM "I don't care," Todd repeated, stubbornly. "And anyone who picks on someone smaller than them is a coward anyway." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 07:33 PM "I'll forward that message then. Bye, Todd." Sinopa sighed and turned around, heading to the door. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 07:40 PM Phelan was waiting for Sinopa outside. He didn't speak; just raised his eyebrows expressively. Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 07:41 PM She made a bit of a furtive head gesture, meaning 'Let's walk'. And she started walking away from the building. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 07:44 PM Phelan shrugged and followed her. Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 07:47 PM Once they were out of Todd's earshot, Sinopa finally looked at Phelan. "...It's a very long story." She rubbed her eyes. "When I was at the junk yard as a guard, somebody broke in. It was a little pet, and most of the other guards wanted to hurt it. Really bad. And it's just, it's a pet, none of them really know any better if being a pet is all they've over known." She bit her lip. "... And you know how my sister gave her cub up? I can't help but think, what if that could've been her cub? I don't think it is; don't remember him being as white as this one is. But just the idea of letting them maim the poor thing just for trespassing when he was scared as hell.. I thought humans were bad, but let's face it, we can be pretty da.mn vicious in our own ways, y'know?" She smiled weakly. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 08:02 PM Phelan paused before speaking. If this had happened before he'd made Taka his mate, he would have reacted a lot differently. But Taka had mellowed him, somewhat. "He wouldn't last five minutes out on the streets, either," he said. "If he behaves himself, keeps out of trouble and makes an effort to fit in and not cause more work for the camp, he could stay there. Seeing as spring is coming, things will be a lot easier; like finding food." All times are GMT. The time now is 09:35 PM.

She sighed. "I told him that if he felt like that, he could just survive on his own, but I told him the risks. He doesn't care." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 08:25 PM "Bravado, more like," Phelan said. "Happens when humans breed canines for their own pleasure. Especially for spoiled pets." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 08:42 PM "His old owner, an old lady, spoiled him, but at least that was better than the home he ran away from. The kids pulled his tail and ears, and he finally bit one; they put him outside in the cold, and he ran off and managed to find his way into the junk yard." She shuddered. "He won't listen to me, either. I told him that if he tried to argue with you, you'd get mad at him. Well, I think you might." She twiddled her fingers. "That's why I've been hunting around for food more often. I always give it to the pack first, but I try to save a few things for him." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 08:46 PM "Maybe; depends on if he mouths off. Hopefully, he'll have the sense not to. And you should make sure you get rid of his collar." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 08:48 PM "I don't know if anyone can even get close enough. I know I couldn't." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 08:51 PM "I'll do it, then. Either that, or you persuade him to get rid of it himself. Otherwise, if a human spots him, they'll know he's a pet and will try to grab him." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:01 PM "I guess." She sighed and sat down in an alleyway. "I'm just so tired, Phel. I know things'll get better now that spring's coming, but I'm just not feeling as good as I should about it." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 09:09 PM "What are you tired about? Is something worrying you?" Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:10 PM "Just all the stories I hear from the vigilantes about what the humans are doing in the woods." She shook her head. "It's just upsetting me." Sinopa looked up at Phelan. "And I just know it'll only get worse." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 09:14 PM "That's how it goes. That is why we need to change their attitude towards us quickly, before it's too late." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:18 PM "It's not that. I.." She bit her lip. "I overheard something one of them was talking about. About starting to hunt the humans back. I wanted to just flip out on whoever was saying it." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 09:25 PM "Why? They have the right idea; just the wrong way of going about it," said Phelan. "We have no choice but to do something about the humans; make them realise that we're sentient beings and just as good as them. I could maybe recruit them in mine and Aldo's plan." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:29 PM "That's not what they want, Phel. They want to attack the humans. Kill them. I just... It scares the hell out of me. I know they're all angry, but for god's sake, we shouldn't stoop to the level of the humans." All times are GMT. The time now is 09:35 PM.

"Are you even listening to a word I'm saying? I didn't say that's what they were thinking at all. I was saying, if you actually clean out your ears and listen to me for once, that their anger is justified, but needs redirecting. As for lowering ourselves to the state of the humans, with respect, that's bullsh*t. Everything we do will be in their eyes lowering ourselves. If you want to lie down and let the humans walk all over you, then feel free. I don't intend to. I intend to do something about it." Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:42 PM "I don't want to sit and lie down and be walked on, Phel, you know da.mn well about that. But I am not going to risk anymore cubs to those... those f**kers." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 09:52 PM "We won't be risking the cubs. It's spring soon, so there won't be any trouble in finding food for them. Anyway, isn't it better that the vigilantes who want to fight the humans have their anger channeled in a better way? Aldo and I have a plan for the spring; they can join our faction." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 09:54 PM Back at camp, Nedakh the Eltos was waiting for Phel to return to camp. Silent_Wolf 03-22-2010 09:54 PM "Alright. Just please be careful." She rubbed her eyes. "I'm going to go up to the junkyard and see Rusty. Wish I could see him more often." She put her head on her knees. "Taka knows just how much I like him." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 10:17 PM "If we succeed, maybe humans will give us jobs and you could get a job at the junkyard." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 10:27 PM At that point, Nedakh saw Phelan and began to walk toward him. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 10:31 PM Phelan wondered what Eltos could possibly want with him. spirit_queen 03-22-2010 10:35 PM "Do you have a moment to talk?" eltos asked. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 10:41 PM "Yes, I'm not really doing anything right now." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 10:47 PM Nedakh nodded. "Alright. I'll get right down to business; my pack grows restlass, many want revenge. Some would be willing to go to extremes for such vengeance, and I can't have that." He looked Phelan in the eye. "So I came to you; I know you not to be the type to take what the humans throw at us lying down. I also know that you know the humans better than we do, and probably have at least a vague idea, if not a plan, of what to do." He paused, and sighed. "Please, tell me what it is, even if it's just an outline of sorts; whatever it is, I promise you that you have my full cooperation as the Eltos, or Alpha, of the vigilante pack." The reason Nedakh was getting into this was because he'd overheard Dolph. Normally, he probably would have agreed with Dolph, but now his mind and heart was dedicated to keeping his mate and daughter safe, and he knew Dolph's way was not the best way to do that. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 10:54 PM Phelan looked straight at Eltos. "Aldo and I have a plan," he said. "We won't put it into execution til spring. By then, it'll be easier to find food for the cubs, and they'll be just starting to become old enough to gain some independance, anyway. We only have a rough outline, but it doesn't involve revenge. Vengence just clouds the mind and makes the body careless. All we want is rights." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:02 PM Eltos nodded. "Makes sense. What did you have in mind?" Miranda_ 03-22-2010 11:07 PM "Picket signs; demonstrations; protests. Staying peaceful as much as is possible; however, we might have to defend ourselves." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:12 PM "Signs? Wouldn't that require, ah, a knowledge of the human letters?" Eltos said. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 11:17 PM "Some people here can read, you know," Phelan said, rolling his eyes. "I can, a little." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:20 PM Nedakh shifted his weight. "Really? I wish I could; to the humans, if we can't read their alphabet, then we're just dumb animals. They've never taken the time to consider that we might have a lettering system of our own." Miranda_ 03-22-2010 11:23 PM "I picked it up, here and there," said Phelan. "I can't spell very well, tho. Aldo can write the best of all of us." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:25 PM "I'd like to learn, if possible. If not, then, oh, well." Nedakh said. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 11:35 PM "I expect Aldo will teach you, if you asked him." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:38 PM "Alright." Nedakh said. "So... how do thse protests you're talking about work? I know I probably sound dumb asking but..." He shrugged. Miranda_ 03-22-2010 11:53 PM "Basically, the idea is at first to bring attention to who we are," said Phelan. "Right now, I doubt the humans even think of us as anything other than dumb beasts. We want to change that perception. If we manage that, then we can think about angling for rights." spirit_queen 03-22-2010 11:55 PM "But what do we do?" Nedakh had never heard of a human-style protest, with posters and such, before. In fact, most of the vigilantes had never heard of such a thing. Edited by Miranda, Mar 22 2010, 07:06 PM.

Miranda_ 03-23-2010 12:32 PM Phelan explained the concept to him. spirit_queen 03-23-2010 06:22 PM "Really? It's that... simple?" Nedakh said. Miranda_ 03-23-2010 06:39 PM "The humans won't listen to us in the same way that they listen to each other, tho." spirit_queen 03-23-2010 10:31 PM Nedakh nodded. "I expect they will retaliate. They always do. They think of themselves as peace-loving, higher beings, but, oh, do they love to fight, and to create unnecessary drama." All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:42 PM.

The humans can't shoot us unless we attack them; not all of them are against us, after all." spirit_queen 03-23-2010 10:41 PM "That's true. So, where do you get the supplies for these, ah, posters?" Eltos asked. Miranda_ 03-23-2010 10:46 PM "Aldo's going to see to that part." spirit_queen 03-23-2010 10:49 PM "He has access to quite a lot." Nedakh said. Miranda_ 03-23-2010 11:03 PM "Which is a good thing, as it's going to help a lot." spirit_queen 03-23-2010 11:10 PM "I know." Nedakh said with a nod. "Well, I suppose I'll let you go then; just please keep in touch with me on this thing, will you?" Miranda_ 03-23-2010 11:24 PM "Will do. Can you talk to the vigilantes you overheard? They'd probably take a check better from you." spirit_queen 03-23-2010 11:29 PM "Will do." Nedakh said with a nod. "Have a good day, Phelan." He then left. Takaia was waiting for Phel. Miranda_ 03-23-2010 11:34 PM Phelan went straight back to his tent to meet Taka. spirit_queen 03-23-2010 11:36 PM Eltos went to go talk to Dolph. Taka grinned when she saw him. "Hiya, Phel. I go you something." Miranda_ 03-23-2010 11:41 PM Dolph was sitting in a corner of the camp, moodily watching as everyone else went about their daily lives. He still couldn't walk on his bad leg for long and found it easier to go about in wolf form. Phelan looked at Taka. "What?" spirit_queen 03-23-2010 11:45 PM Taka pulled out a large, very fresh stake for him. "When I went rummaging for food, I had to hide; they just threw the trash out, so everything in it was extremely fresh. In fact, most of them were still warm." Eltos saw Dolph that way, and then made sure he was directly in Dolph's line of sight before walking toward him. Miranda_ 03-23-2010 11:54 PM "Thanks," Phelan said, taking it. "Hope you saved some for yourself." Dolph automatically made a submissive gesture; he might have been high ranking, but he wasn't the Eltos. spirit_queen 03-23-2010 11:58 PM Takaia nodded. "Yup. I learned my lseeon about that; there's a difference between being nice and starinvg myself to death." Eltos acknowledged, Dolph's submissive behavior with a nod, which also served as an equivalinet to a military leader saying "at ease". "Dolph, do you have a minute? I wish to speak with you." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 12:11 AM "Exactly; and if you starve, then you won't be able to forage either for yourself or others." "Yeah, I have the time," Dolph said, relaxing to his former pose. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 12:16 AM Taka nodded. "So, what did you do today? I started to teach the cubs some of our lettering system; I can't do the human one, though." Eltos sat down beside Dolph. "You must be very frustrated, having to sit around like this; you're a man of action. Always have been. That's why you're my second." Eltos paused. "Wuld you prefer it if I got straight down to business?" Miranda_ 03-24-2010 12:25 AM "I found out where Sinopa's going." "I would prefer it, thanks," Dolph said. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 12:29 AM "Am I allowed to know?" Taka asked. "Pleeeeeeaaaase?" "I overheard you arguing with Rika the other day. I heard that you want to attack the humans. And, well, truthfully, they'd deserve it." Nedakh said. "But, Dolph? We can't do it that way. Not while we live here, and especially not in winter, when the food is so scarce as it is. Besides, there is another way." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 12:36 AM Phelan told Taka everything. "What other way, tho?" Dolph said. "We can't just sit here and let them do what they like." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 12:41 AM "A pet? Huh. Well, I'd try to help to convince him to help out." Taka said. Nedakh then explained what he and Phelan had talked about. "Phelan says that Aldo told him that the humans used to discriminate against one another; the light-skins, like me, first enslaved the dark-skins, like Rika. They eventuall earned their freedom, and later more rights, like being allowed to go to the same restraunt and such. Apparently, the dark-skins used the same method to get what they wanted. It took a while, but it worked." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 12:53 AM "I'd leave it to you to explain to him," said Phelan. "I'd just get impatient if he wouldn't listen." "Is that a fact?" Dolph said. "Humans are stupid, if that's true. Why does skin or fur colour matter?" spirit_queen 03-24-2010 12:58 AM Taka nodded. "Okay. That's probably best." Nedakh nodded. "I agree. And it looks like we'll have to nonviolently fight for recognition, too." He looked over at Dolph. "I need your help. You're my second, and a leader in your own right; if you go along with this protesting, many others will follow. What I want most is to avoid losing more to the humans because some of ou kind want revenge, which is not the answer here, though it does have some... appeal. So I came to ask if you'll help me to convince our pack that this is the right path to take regarding the humans." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 01:02 AM Dolph sighed heavily. He did want revenge on the humans. However, he could see the sense in what the Eltos was saying, and nodded. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 01:09 AM Eltos heaved a sigh in relief. "Thank you, Dolph. I won't forget this." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 01:16 AM "I won't be able to help properly til my leg heals, tho." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 01:26 AM "I know. But we won't begin the protests until well into spring time; I'm pretty sure you should be decent by then, as we've got several months to go; it took you only a month to get to the point you're at now, so I assume that in several months you'll be much better." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 01:29 AM "I hope so. I don't want to be left out of anything." Dolph experimentally tested his leg and winced. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 01:32 AM "Anyway, Takaia brought back some fresh steaks. Want one?" Eltos asked. Ooc: going now, bye! Miranda_ 03-24-2010 01:36 AM "Yeah, might as well. Hopefully it won't be long before I can go out and forage for myself." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 09:31 AM Eltos nodded. "I'll be back, then." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 01:45 PM "Alright. I'll tell anyone else who wants to know, what the plan is." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 06:16 PM He nodded, then left... and returned with three large stakes. "Eat up. You need it to heal." Silent_Wolf 03-24-2010 07:13 PM Ooc: I don't think I'd want to eat three stakes. o_o; ~~~ Raoul was helping around the camp a lot more than he had before; he'd healed fairly well, perhaps because he had the motivation to get better. He primarily helped with the cubs, as he couldn't hunt for food; and he was also helping Rika and the others take care of the vigilantes who were still wounded. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 07:52 PM Phelan wondered if Sinopa had gone back to see Todd. Silent_Wolf 03-24-2010 07:57 PM She was hesitating about it, but had finally made up her mind to go check on him. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 08:07 PM Todd had taken to pacing around his confined area. He didn't particularly enjoy solitude. Silent_Wolf 03-24-2010 08:27 PM Sinopa opened the door. "Todd?" Miranda_ 03-24-2010 08:50 PM Todd went over to her. "I'm here." Silent_Wolf 03-24-2010 08:53 PM "If you want to be in the camp, you're going to have to get rid of your collar. Otherwise a human will see you, realize you're a pet, and try to grab you." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 09:07 PM Todd looked reluctant to do this. "Do I have to trash it, tho?" All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:43 PM.

Miranda_ 03-24-2010 09:21 PM Todd sighed heavily. He changed to his human form and reached to unbuckle the collar from the back of his throat. He then handed it to Sinopa. Silent_Wolf 03-24-2010 09:23 PM "You can keep it in the tent you'll stay in. Phel'll probably tell you some things you'll be able to handle doing." She tucked the collar into a pocket. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 09:26 PM "I guess I don't have a choice." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:11 PM Meanwhile, in the bad section of town, a girl in her mid teens with black curly hair, ice-blue eyes and skimpy clothing was sneaking around the building she resided in after closing hours. "Come on, Connor, hurry up." The girl quietly hissed to her brother, who was behind her somewhere. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:21 PM Connor slunk out of the shadows. He had lank brown hair and brown eyes, and a hang dog expression on his face. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:24 PM Emily quietly but quickly made her way to the camera by the back door, took out her scissors, andsnipped the cord connecting it to the wall, meaning that the screens in the security room owuld get no signal. "Do you still remember the code?" Emily asked her brother quietly, waving her hand in the general direction of the electronic guard system on the back door. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:27 PM "Yeah," he said quietly. "Do you want me to key it in? Would be easier than just telling you." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:28 PM Emily nodded and waved him over. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:30 PM Connor went over to the keypad and tapped in the code that he'd learned ages ago. His memory was good; that was a positive in some areas and a negative in others. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:37 PM The security system beeped, and then Emily opened the door. "We've got a few minutes before Anthony's goon returns from his coffee break and discovers that the camera has been sabotages; let's make sure we're far, far away before that happens." Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:40 PM Connor shivered. "Definitely. I'd rather take my chances out in the streets than stay here a moment longer. We'd better use our normal forms; our human forms are too recognisable." spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:43 PM "Especially in these clothes." Emily said, grimacing at her lingerie-like attire. she shifted to her canina form, which was that of a grey wolf with a white underbelly and black fur on top. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:45 PM Connor took his, which was that of a grey wolf with brown points and tail tip. His tail was currently held low to the ground. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:48 PM Emily sniffed at the air, then began to head off, leading the way. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:54 PM Connor followed apathetically. He'd never have left in the first place if Emily hadn't pushed him. spirit_queen 03-24-2010 11:56 PM Emily, however, knew that things were only going to get wore back there, and knew she had to get them outta there. She lead her brother down many streets and alleys, sniffing at the air to check if there were other canines present first. Miranda_ 03-24-2010 11:59 PM There were some, as they approached the part of the town where the eating places were, scavenging for food. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 12:02 AM Emily did her best to avoid them, especially considering that the ones looking for food would be extremely aggressive. Ooc: gotta get off and take a shower. Bye! Miranda_ 03-25-2010 12:08 AM Connor just walked with his head and tail down, which would show any of the other canines that he was submissive. They left him alone. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 01:08 AM While Connor and Emily were wandering the streets, Taka was with Phel, grabbing steaks. She was telling Phel that, lately, there was a lot more good food getting thrown out at that restraunt for some reason, and that she was glad. She'd gained quite a bit of weight lately, and looked good. Phelan and Takaia were downwind from Emily, so when she rounded a corner and almost ran right into them, she cursed, angry with herself for not having detected them earlier. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 01:18 AM Phelan immediately stepped forward and took an aggressive stance, in case the newcomers were going to try and steal their food. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 10:33 AM Emily was tempted to fight back, but knew that she'd only get severely injured, and if that happened, Connor would be helpless. So, grudgingly, she took on a submissive pose. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:24 AM Phelan relaxed once he saw that. "Who are you? We haven't seen you around this neighbourhood before." He noted the collars that both the strangers wore, but they didn't look like pets. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 06:27 PM "My name is Emily, and this si my brother Connor. We- we ran away from a brot'hel." Emily said. Takaia tilted her head to one side. "What's a brot'hel?" She asked. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 09:30 PM Phelan looked a bit confused, too. "Aren't you pets?" he said. "You're both wearing collars." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 09:43 PM "Technically, yes, we're pets, but we're abused pets; we have tp keep our biped forms and work in the brot'hel." Emily said. "It's illegal, but what does our owner care? He pays off the mayor to ensure that his little sick operation is never shut down." Miranda_ 03-25-2010 10:02 PM "What do you have to do? I never heard of anything like that before." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 10:46 PM "Be glad you haven't. Both of you." Emily said. she then explained what a broth'el was, and vaguely described what she and her brother went through every day. Taka was absolutely horrified, and speechless, too. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 10:52 PM Phelan just looked shocked and disgusted. "I guess you can stay at the camp, but on two conditions. One, you have to keep your heads down and help out around the camp. Two, you get rid of the collars." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 10:54 PM "Not a problem. At all. Thank you." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:00 PM Connor said nothing, just stood there with his head listlessly hanging. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:02 PM Taka noticed this and looked at Emily. "Is he shy?" She asked. "Not so much shy as... well, it's more like he's given up any hope a long, long time ago." Emily said. Taka slowly approached him. "Connor? That's your name, right? My name is Takaia." Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:11 PM Connor hardly responded. He just gave a feeble flick of his tail as acknowledgement, and that was all. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:16 PM Takaia felt bad for him. "So, um, Phel? Do you think we have enough food to bring back, then?" Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:20 PM "Better bring back some more, since these two are coming along," Phelan said. "They won't be able to forage. Sinopa's going to teach that pet to forage, tho, so we can afford to take these two. Especially since spring is coming." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:25 PM Takaia nodded and began to search the garbage again, humming as she did. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:26 PM Phelan packed the steaks into a carrier bag as Taka found them. spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:29 PM Takaia stopped in the middle of searching, backed away from the trash can and grabbed at her stomach and moaned. "Phel, I-I feel siiick..." Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:35 PM Phelan grabbed her. "Not here! What's the matter?" He picked up the bag and hooked it over his arm; they couldn't leave the precious food behind. All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:43 PM.

Then, suddenly, she broke from his grasp and dashed behind one of the dumpsters, where she could be heard retching. emily winced, hoping the girl was alright; she hadn't pegged her as being sick. Unless... well, she didn't want to pry into the lives of two strangers like that, so she decided she'd keep quiet about that. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:43 PM The thought hadn't even crossed Phelan's mind. He knew that Taka was taking those pills. "We'd better get back to camp." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:49 PM Taka returned, and Emily felt her forehead. "What's this? You're not warm at all." "I'm not? But I felt terrible." Taka said. "I- I don't mean to pry, but could you be, um, with cub?" Takaia shook her head. "No. I'm on that pill thingy." When Emily only bit her lip, Taka said. "What?" "Are you aware that those pills aren't 100% preventative? That, even when you're on them, there's still a slim chance that you could be pregnant?" Takaia's eyes widened when Emily told her this. Miranda_ 03-25-2010 11:52 PM Phelan turned away, abruptly. "We have to get back. We can sort that out later." spirit_queen 03-25-2010 11:56 PM Takaia nodded. "Right. Let's go." Emily looked at her brother. "Connor, we're following them now." Miranda_ 03-26-2010 12:04 AM Connor sighed. He started to follow the others. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 12:08 AM Eventually, they all made it to camp. "Do you see that tent there?" Takaia asked Emily, pointing. When Emily nodded, Takaia said "You and your brother go in there. There's some clothes in there. Remove your collars and change into something that better matches everyone else's clothing here, please." Her voice sounded very dead, and she glued her eyes back to the ground after making sure Emily had received her message. She hadn't looked at phelan once since they'd begun to head back to camp from the alley. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 12:14 AM Phelan had gone to feed the cubs, and share out the rest of the food. Into his mind kept flashing horrible images of how Marea had suffered when she'd miscarried. She hadn't stopped bleeding for two whole days... Connor flopped down into a seated position once in the tent. He changed to his human form, then removed the collar and started to change into some new clothes. He deliberately picked clothes that were black, and that covered him up as much as possible. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 12:21 AM Emily did the same; she didn't mind changing in front of her brother, as she felt comfortable around him. she removed the collar and immodest clothed, and replaced it with a pair of jeans and a plain tee-shirt. Takaia kept seeing the look on Phel's face when Emily had said that it was possible to get pregnant on the pill, and tha thought of that look gave her a sinking feeling inside. When she was a child, Takaia had always imagined that when she'd discovered herself to be pregnant for the first tim, that she'd be full of more joy than any she had ever felt in the rest of her life combined. But now she felt only dread. Phelan wasn't ready for a child yet. He might not ever be. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 12:26 AM Phelan could not get the terrible image of blood out of his mind. He dreaded the same happening to Taka, only this time it would be much worse cuz he was in love with her. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 12:43 AM Takaia couldn't bear the thought of Phelan avoiding her, of sleeping turned away from her. She remember once, as a child, being told the words of one of the leaders of the past. Fanella had told her, that the Antos of the time, a hard woman who had suffered through much during the Great Wars, had said "If you know in advance that you cannot support a cub, or find it in you to take care of the cub, don't have one." Takaia had found a sharp metal rod of some kind, and she headed off to her old tent, which was currently empty since she'd moved in with Phelan. With shaking hands, she removed her jeans, and held the metal rod, ready to use it to kill the unborn cub that grew within her. She didn't think that she could love this child, not if Phelan avoided her like he was, and got stiff every time the word 'cub' was mentioned. She held the rod in position, but she hesitated, and hesitated yet again. After a few minutes like this, Takaia dropped the rod; she couldn't do it. She couldn't kill an innocent like that. So she lay there sobbing, feeling more alone than she ever had in her life. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 12:49 AM Phelan finished handing out the food, keeping some back for himself and Taka. He was at war with himself. He didn't want to hurt Taka, but at the same time, he didn't want her to go thru a miscarriage. He wished he could talk it thru with someone, but there was no-one to ask. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 12:51 AM A bit later, Takaia managed to gather the energy to leave the empty tent; she decided she'd go talk to the Antos. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 12:53 AM Antos was in her own tent, along with her cub. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:04 AM When outside the tent, Takaia said "Antos? It's me, Takaia. May I speak with you." Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:08 AM "Of course, Taka," Antos replied. "Come in." spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:10 AM Taka walked in and sat down. "Antos? I'm pregnant. But I'm not sure I want to be." she said, her voice shaky, her head down. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:14 AM "Not sure? In what way, are you not sure? Tell me everything." Antos settled her sleeping daughter more comfortably, and looked straight at Taka. "Is it to do with the father?" spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:18 AM So Takaia told Antos, as best as she could what happened. She explained her insecurities, and she explained that Phelan had lost a child before, which was why he reacted the way he did. she told Antos that she was scared, uncertain, that she dind't know what to do with herself. she told Antos that she'd almost murdered her own unborn cub, but found that she couldn't. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:23 AM "That's never the way," Antos said. "The best thing you can do is talk to Phelan." Antos paused, then said, "When we first arrived here, I faced the prospect of bringing up my cub alone, for I believed that her father was dead. However, I never once even thought of taking her life. I understand you felt as tho it would be the best thing, but remember; no matter how bad life gets, it's always better to live than not live. Talk to Phelan. Ask him how he feels. It's the only thing you can do." spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:24 AM "S-should I go talk to him now?" Takaia asked. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:30 AM "That would be best. Would be a bad idea to leave things as they are for two long." spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:32 AM "Thank you, Antos. Thank you so much." Takaia got up, hugged the antos, then went to find Phelan. Though she still felt uncertain, she was no longer feeling so much dread. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:36 AM Antos smiled after Taka. Now she had all she'd ever wanted; the Eltos' love and their beautiful cub, she wanted everyone else to be happy. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:39 AM Soeaking of the Eltos, he was on his way back to the tent to see Antos. Takaia began to search for Phel, knowing that he'd likely try to ditract himself by helping out around camp. Miranda_ 03-26-2010 01:44 AM Phelan was checking over the tents with a manic intensity. spirit_queen 03-26-2010 01:48 AM Takaia took a deep breath to steady herself, then went over to him. "Phelan? We need to talk, please." Miranda_ 03-26-2010 06:57 PM "Yes, we do," Phelan replied. "We have to go someplace private." spirit_queen 03-26-2010 08:15 PM "Is our tent good enough?" Takaia asked. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 02:28 AM "Good enough for me," Phelan replied. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 12:26 PM Takaia took Phelan by the hand and lead them to their tent so that they might speak in private. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 12:59 PM Phelan looked tense. "So, what did you want to talk about?" he said, tho he could guess what it was. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 01:10 PM Takaia sat down and motioned for him to sit as well. She took his hands in hers. "When I was a cub, I used to imagine that my first pregnancy would be a joy to me, a blessing, that I would be so excited that I couldn't contain it." She took a dep breath. "But the opposite was true; I panicked. I knew you don't want a cub, and, for some reason I found myself thinking that I'd lose you because of it, that you wouldn't love me anymore." She looked down and continued. "So, I almost did something very, very stupid; I almost killed our unborn cub. But I- I just couldn't do it. Deep down, somewhere, I didn't want to." There as a moment of silence, and then she looked up at her mate, saw how freaked he was, despite how hard he was trying to hide it. "And then I thought about you again, but this time I didn't think about losing you, but what you'd been through. and I know you well enough to know that you'd do anything to deny those thoughts, and that you'd never tell anyone about them. But, Phel, you can't do that." She swallowed. "I'm your mate, Phel. Please, let me share in your pain. Let me understand, lt me help you shoulder it." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 01:13 PM Phelan shook his head slowly. "I can't believe that you were going to do that. I couldn't bear it if I lost another cub. Don't you see, it's not that I don't want a cub? I just don't want to go thru all that again. You'll have to let me look after you, and forage for you so it doesn't happen to you." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 01:15 PM Takaia threw her arms around Phelan and pulled him in for a hug. "I-I'm sorry. I want to keep the cub too, Phel, because it's a part of you. I love you." She buried her head in his should and held on to him tightly. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 01:17 PM "I love you too. And I want you and the cub to be kept safe. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 01:26 PM "Besides, there's more food to go around now." Takaia said. "We're lucky; this cub is growing inside me late winter, and will be born... either late spring or early summer. Food-wise, the pregnancy should go fine." She kissed Phelan's cheek. "Besides, I spent my whole life training how to be a nursemother and healer; I know what a pregnant woman needs to be healthy." she said, trying to reassure him. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 01:36 PM Phelan didn't smile. "I still don't want you to over exert yourself. That way, I'll know you and the cub will be safe." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 01:38 PM "Okay, okay, I promise." Takaia said. "But how much of the day am I expected to lay round?" Miranda_ 03-27-2010 01:56 PM "I don't know. I don't want to discuss it. Just do as I say." All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:43 PM.

Miranda_ 03-27-2010 02:13 PM That was best. *later* spirit_queen 03-27-2010 02:25 PM Emily was wandering around camp, and then caught a scent; she began to follow it. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 02:36 PM Tho Todd had removed his collar, he was still sure that he stuck out as a pet, so he'd kept away from the other members of the camp. He was currently sitting in a corner by himself. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 02:42 PM Emily followed the scent over to him. She examined him, then said "I haven't seen you around." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 02:47 PM "What's it to you?" Todd replied, snarkily. "You're new here, as well. I can tell." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 02:50 PM Emily snorted. "you're a runaway pet, probably used ot the finer things, aren't'cha?" Miranda_ 03-27-2010 03:01 PM "So what if I am? Doesn't make you better than me." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 03:03 PM "No, it means that you're pretty helpless." Emily said with a snigger. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 03:28 PM Todd looked angry. "Say that again, and you'll regret it. I know how to use my teeth." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 03:33 PM "And I don't?" Emily said. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 03:44 PM "Obviously not, seeing as you don't have the sense you were born with. Even I know better than to challenge someone I don't know." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 03:51 PM "I didn't challenge you. I came up to you and said I haven't seen you around here, and you started the hostility." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 04:06 PM Todd deliberately yawned in Emily's face. "Run away and play, little girl," he said, altho he was younger than her. "You bore me." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 04:09 PM Emily changed inot her biped form and then patted Todd's head. "Poor lost little pet, all alone, without his master to take care of him." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 04:16 PM Todd had been waiting for Emily to do this; he'd done this before, to attack other canines. Not just other pets, either. When he'd belonged to his first owner, the old lady, he was safe to attack other canines as much as he wanted cuz she would refuse to believe that her darling Todd could ever do anything terrible. Todd struck like a snake, his teeth tearing at Emily's hand, then darting away to escape a counter attack. Cuz of his first owner's doting behaviour, and the fact that she'd spoiled him rotten, he was just like a snappy little dog. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 04:20 PM Emily cursed and examined the wound; she'd have to clean it. "That's right, run away, you little pup." She snarled. "I bet you wouldn't make it in a real fight." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 04:34 PM "And you seriously think you would?" Todd said, contemptously. "Seeing as you obviously only ever pick on opponants who are smaller than you and who you think you can beat easily. You instantly discounted me, just cuz I'm a pet, but you don't know anything about me or what I can do. And I've beaten canines much bigger than me, cuz you're just like them and thinking just like them." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 04:37 PM Emily snorted. "You're not worth it, pet." She turned her back to him and walked away. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 04:42 PM "More like, you're not worth it," Todd said. "You're just a coward. You're trash. You're nothing." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 04:43 PM "Boy, we're all nothing round here." Emily said before she left. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 04:57 PM Todd still managed to get a last word in. "If you think that, then as far as you're concerned, the battle's already lost." Connor hadn't even bothered to leave the tent, or go back to his human form. He just lay listlessly in the tent that had been allocated to him and his sister, not taking any notice of the surroundings. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 04:59 PM Emily ignored Todd and went back to her tent to tend to her hand. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 05:02 PM Connor didn't look up as Emily entered the tent. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:03 PM Emily wished her brother would actually take an interest in something, but dind't know how to go about doing that. Miranda_ 03-27-2010 11:09 PM Connor was slowly coming round to the fact that they'd escaped. He wouldn't however shake off the apathy that had crippled him for so long, cuz allowing himself to feel only meant that he got hurt. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:18 PM Emily, after bandaging herself, planted a kiss on Connor's forehead. "We made it, Connor." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 11:22 PM "Yeah, I guess so," Connor replied. He noticed that Emily's hand was bandaged. "What happened to you? You get in a fight already?" spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:23 PM "Oh. That." Emily said. "Well, I saw this escaped pet and went up to talk to him, and he just insulted me, and, well, you know how I am... I insulted him back. He bit me. Not a big deal." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 11:28 PM "You're always losing your temper with stuff, tho. Not a good idea, not while we're new round here." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:34 PM Emily sighed. "I know, I know. I'm working on it." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 11:36 PM "I just don't want you to get hurt for no good reason." spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:46 PM Emily smiled. "yeah, thanks, bro." Miranda_ 03-27-2010 11:56 PM "I'll be alright. Once I stop expecting Anthony to appear." Connor gave an involuntary shiver. spirit_queen 03-27-2010 11:58 PM "If he shows up here, I will tear him to shreds." Emily growled. Miranda_ 03-28-2010 12:05 AM "He won't know where we've gone. I know that; just that it's hard to not think that he might." spirit_queen 03-28-2010 12:08 AM Emily sighed and nodded. "I know the feeling." Miranda_ 03-28-2010 12:13 AM "I'll feel better once I can stop thinking that. Anyway, try not to get into any more fights round here." spirit_queen 03-28-2010 12:14 AM "I will, I promise." Emily said. "So, how about I get us something to eat?" Miranda_ 03-28-2010 12:20 AM "I suppose so," Connor replied. "I haven't had the energy to go and look yet." All times are GMT +1.

Emily said. She left the tent to go find where the food was placed. Miranda_ 03-28-2010 12:31 AM Connor laid his head back down. He was hungry, but had been too apathetic to do anything about it. spirit_queen 03-28-2010 12:32 AM Eventually, emily returned, a couple steaks with her. Miranda_ 03-28-2010 06:54 PM Connor sat up; he wasn't so far gone that he didn't take any interest in food. spirit_queen 03-28-2010 09:52 PM Emily gave him two. "Eat up." Miranda_ 03-28-2010 10:41 PM Connor did. He hadn't lost his appetite for food, at least. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 01:15 AM Emily was glad for that one small blessing at least. she hoped that being free like this would help to heal Connor, so that he mightseem more like a living person and less like a robot, or something. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 12:14 PM "Are we safe, now we're here?" Conner asked. "Cuz I'm not going back there. I'd rather die than go back." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 12:15 PM "Yes, we're safe." Emily said. "No one will harm us here unless you're like me and have anger issues." Miranda_ 03-29-2010 12:34 PM "You ought to fix those, tho. You don't want to end up in a fight with anyone." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 12:39 PM "I know, and I'm trying." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 01:03 PM "I don't want you to get hurt," Connor said. "And you shouldn't fight that pet. You might think you'd easily be able to take him, but you never know. There's got to be a reason why he thought he could attack you and get away with it." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 01:07 PM "Stupid lap-dog." Emily muttered darkly. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 01:25 PM "I know you. You'll try to get revenge on him, and he might hurt you." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 01:27 PM "Yeah, fine, alright, I'll leave it be." Emily said reluctantly. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 01:39 PM "We shouldn't argue with anyone in the camp, no matter who we are. We should just keep our heads down and not attract any attention." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 01:44 PM Emily sighed. "You're right." Miranda_ 03-29-2010 01:57 PM "That's what I plan to do, at least for the moment." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:04 PM "And I shold probably do the same." emily said with a sigh. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:14 PM "We don't want to be made to leave the camp. We're safer here than outside." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:15 PM "Much. We're very lucky to have run into those people." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:17 PM "They mostly seem nice," Connor said, cautiously. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:18 PM "Yeah, except for a few suspicious an nasty ones, but they usually mind their own business." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:21 PM "They don't trust pets. I doubt they trust that pet you had the argument with, either." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:28 PM "Probably not; it's likely that's why he was sitting off to a corner alone." Emily replied. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:36 PM "He's probably worse off than we are. At least we have each other to talk to." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:39 PM "I don't know what I'd do without you." Emily said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:45 PM "I don't even want to think about that." spirit_queen 03-29-2010 02:48 PM emily hugged her brother, then. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 02:54 PM Aww. XD Meanwhile, Todd had been given a steak by Sinopa and he'd dragged it into his corner in case anyone tried to take it from him. He was left severely alone by everyone in the camp as a general rule. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 11:15 PM Rika was on her way to see Raoul when she noticed Todd, gnawing all alone on a steak. She paused and twitched one of her fox ears toward him. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 11:25 PM Todd defensively put his paws on the steak, thinking that Rika was going to take it. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 11:26 PM "No, no, I won't take that; I already ate." Rika said softly, gently. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 11:31 PM Todd still looked suspicious. "Everyone else in the camp hates me, so why wouldn't you?" spirit_queen 03-29-2010 11:39 PM "Because I don't know you, so i have no reason to hate you." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 11:43 PM "Yes, you do. I'm a pet, so that means you have to hate me." Todd flattened his ears, miserably. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 11:44 PM "Oh, no, of course I don't." Rika said sweetly, walking over to him. "It's not your fault you're a pet; you were born and raised into it." Miranda_ 03-29-2010 11:49 PM Todd hesitated; he was still suspicious of Rika's motives, wondering if she just wanted to distract him while she stole his food. spirit_queen 03-29-2010 11:56 PM "Go ahead, finish your meal; I can understand if you don't trust me yet." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-29-2010 11:59 PM Todd carried on eating the steak. He did in fact look a lot different from the sleek, well groomed pet he'd been; his white fur was now muddied and dusty, and his feet were sore from all the walking he'd done when he was unaccustomed to walking far at all.

Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:13 AM When he had, Todd made a half hearted attempt to clean himself up. The fact was, he didn't really know how to keep himself tidy; he'd always had that done for him by his owners. And his fur was white, which was really difficult to keep pristine in any case. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:17 AM "Er, would you like help? or, at least, I can show you how to clean up better." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:22 AM "I guess so," Todd said, cautiously. He was beginning to trust Rika a little. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:28 AM Rika smiled, then got closer to Todd. she then showed him how she cleaned herself up after a meal, and even explained the best way to go about it. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:35 AM Todd listened carefully. He felt a bit embarrassed that he had to have something so basic explained to him. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:37 AM Rika obviously didn't mind. "Now you try it." She said encouragingly. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:43 AM Todd did so. "I never had to do this before, you know," he said. "My mother might have showed me, but I can't remember her. I was really young when she left me." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:47 AM "I'm very sorry about that, and I can't say the same for myself." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:51 AM "I don't blame her for giving me up or for keeping my older brother," said Todd. "I remember how cold it was then, just about, so I suppose she couldn't feed both of us." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:54 AM "Yeah. Sometimes it gets hard." Rika said. "Wait... do you think I'm actually Renegade, then?" Miranda_ 03-30-2010 01:03 AM "I don't know. Are you?" spirit_queen 03-30-2010 01:08 AM "Well, I am now, but I was born Vigilante; I grew up in the forest." Rika said, a small, sad smile upon her lips. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 01:31 AM Todd noticed. "Was it nice there?" he asked. "I never went there. My first owner only ever walked me in the park, and the second one never walked me at all." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 01:38 AM "Sometimes it could be rough, but it was very, very nice." Rika said. "It was home." Miranda_ 03-30-2010 01:47 AM "I guess it was different to what I used to call home." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 01:49 AM "That's very likely. Do you want to talk about it?" Rika asked. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 01:55 AM "Just as long as you promise not to be nasty," Todd said. "I don't mean the place I ran away from; that wasn't home. I mean my old owner." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:07 AM "Why would I be nasty?" Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:20 AM "Some people here have been nasty. This one girl came up to me and was acting as tho I was just some pathetic weak pet, and needed an owner to protect me." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:21 AM "Yes, but do I look like her?" Rika asked. "I swear I won't be judgemental." Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:35 AM Todd said, "It was a smallish house but my owner was rich. She just didn't want a big house. I always had my own bed, but I liked to sleep on hers when I could. I could go whereever I liked in the house and garden. My owner always used to brush my coat every day." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:40 AM "Sounds nice. A bit... boring, perhaps, but nice." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:48 AM "I had toys to play with, and sometimes other pets," Todd said. "I only liked the ones who didn't try and push me around, like some did and even some renegades. They'd come into the garden at first and try to steal food." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:50 AM "Well, now you know why; we never seem to find enough to eat, so there are some who'd leap at the opportunity to nab food from somewhere else." Rika said gently. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:55 AM "I didn't know that back then," Todd said. "And it was my duty to guard my owner's home and garden. So, I saw them off." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 03:05 AM "I can tell." She paused. "did you get to go out walking often? If so, how far did you typically walk?" Miranda_ 03-30-2010 03:11 AM "Every day, but not very far or fast," Todd replied. "Only as far to the park which was just round the block." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 03:12 AM "Ah. So, the... are your paws sore now?" She asked. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 11:48 AM Todd winced. "Yes. I never walked that far before in my entire life." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 11:55 AM "Do you think you could walk say, another fifteen feet? I'm a healer, I can help your sore paws." Miranda_ 03-30-2010 12:12 PM "I guess so. Won't make much difference, walking a bit more." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 12:18 PM "Alright, follow me. Andif you need a short rest on the way there, just say so." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:28 PM Todd got up and walked after Rika. He was in his fox form mainly cuz on four legs, it was easier to walk on sore feet. Sinopa had of course asked him to take his normal form, but he couldn't walk at all on two feet. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:49 PM In a few short minutes, they reached Rika's tent. Rika took her biped form, that of an african-American woman with thick, curly hair, and then got out some salves. "Please, make yourself comfortable." Miranda_ 03-30-2010 02:52 PM Todd sat down. He thought that was a silly question, when there wasn't any way to get comfortable with sore feet. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 02:56 PM Rika hummed and then cam over to Todd with a bunch of wrap, and two different bowls of with something somewhat goopey-looking within them. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 03:24 PM "What's that going to do? Will I still be able to walk after?" spirit_queen 03-30-2010 03:31 PM "Yes. It'll ease the pain and encourage healing." Rika replied. "but first I must clean off your paws." Miranda_ 03-30-2010 10:47 PM "Oh, OK. They're dirty, I guess." All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:44 PM.

Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 11:36 PM "OK. So do what you have to do." spirit_queen 03-30-2010 11:38 PM "I'll dip this rag in the goopier of the two bowls and clean and sterilize your paws; it'll likely sting, as your paws are sore. Then, when your paws are clean, I'll gently massage some of the white salve into your paws, which will soothe them and encourage healing." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 11:41 PM "Alright," said Todd, determined to be brave. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 11:48 PM "I promise to be as gentle as possible." Rika said as she dipped her rag in the solution. She then approached Todd and began to clean his paws. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 11:49 PM Todd winced with pain as the liquid stung his paws, but didn't make a sound. spirit_queen 03-30-2010 11:55 PM When Rika finished, she waited a moment before she dipped ehr fingers in the white salve. she gently began to massage it into his paws, which probably felt good. Miranda_ 03-30-2010 11:59 PM It did; it relieved the pain, both the stinging caused by the cleaning and the dull ache caused by the soreness. spirit_queen 03-31-2010 12:03 AM "there, thast should be good. Technically, you can walk now, but I'd advise that you lay dow for a while and relax." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-31-2010 12:05 AM "I will. I need to get accross the camp to the tent that Sinopa got me." spirit_queen 03-31-2010 12:09 AM "Alright. After that, just go to bed early, let your paws have time to heal." Rika said with a smile. Miranda_ 03-31-2010 12:24 AM "I will," Todd said. "And thanks for helping me." spirit_queen 03-31-2010 12:28 AM "Oh, no problem, Todd." Rika said. Miranda_ 03-31-2010 12:39 AM Todd smiled at her before he headed back to his tent. *later* Silent_Wolf 03-31-2010 10:15 AM In her canine form, Sinopa was sitting a bit far out from the camp; not far enough to miss any trouble going on, of course, but enough so that she could have some measure of privacy. She'd been up since dawn, which was unusual as she usually slept in until somebody woke her up; but there were things on her mind. Mainly, what had happened to her sister? And what about the cub her sister had given up? Okay, calling it a cub was a bad idea; Sunny had almost never used her wolf form. Sinopa couldn't even remember what form the cub had been born in, seeing as her sister had taken off right after and hadn't come back for a few days - without her baby. Sinopa sighed and put her head down, making a short whimpering noise. spirit_queen 03-31-2010 11:50 PM Takaia asked Phel to go pick herbs with her again. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 12:06 AM Phelan readily agreed, after asking Taka to promise not to carry too much weight by herself. He said that he'd do the bulk of the carrying. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 12:11 AM Takaia kissed him. "Alright. You win." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 12:25 AM "It's just so that I know for certain that you and the cub will be safe," Phelan said. "I just can't shake loose the fear that something's going to happen; however, I can make sure that I do whatever it takes, as much as in my power, to ensure yours and the cub's safety." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 12:30 AM "You know I'm only letting you make these little rules because I know you care, right?" Takaia said, smirking at Phel. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 12:44 AM "And you should be grateful to me that I do care," Phelan replied, quick as a flash. He looked sombre. "I still have nightmares about what happened to Marea, you know," he said. "I couldn't help but think that it was all my fault, cuz I was the one who'd gotten her with cub." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 12:49 AM Takaia pulled him in for an embrace. "My gods, Phelan. I am so, so sorry." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 01:02 AM "It's alright," Phelan said as he hugged Taka to him. "You didn't know. I don't really talk about it much, not even to Marea. We weren't in love or anything, but we were friends. I probably should try, cuz she was hurting just as much or even more than I was. I just couldn't face doing it, before, in case she blamed me and I still sometimes wonder if she does." In fact, Marea didn't blame Phelan in the slightest. Miscarriages were a sad fact of life for the renegades, especially when a canine fell pregnant in the late autumn or winter. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 01:13 AM Takaia kissed his cheek. "Phelan, go talk to her. I doubt she blames you at all." Takaia tucked some of her hair behind her ear and bit her lip. "when- when I first came here, I talked to Marea; she dind't sound angry, just... lonely, and a bit wistful, perhaps. and, if i've learned anything since I've arrived here, it's that you have to face your problems head-on instead of running from them." Takaia gave him a small smile. "Besides, you might find a certain strength in each other that you could never have when alone." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 01:28 AM Phelan looked as tho what Taka had said had gotten thru to him. "Maybe I will," he said. "I'll talk to Marea when we get back. If anything, it'll maybe help the healing along. For both of us." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 01:32 AM Takaia smiled. "I'm sure it will. You're a good man, Phel." She leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Just a bit misunderstood. And I love you." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 12:36 PM "I love you too. Now, let's go and get those herbs you want. Make sure you go on the inside of the pavement when we walk alongside the main road, and hold my hand." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 12:39 PM "I always do; I hate those automobile thingies." Takaia said. She crawled out of their tent. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 01:14 PM "Humans only have them, I think, cuz they can't run as fast as we can." He took her hand. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 01:33 PM Takaia sniffed. "They're just jealous." She laced her fingers with his and walked closely beside him. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 01:38 PM "They need to admit that, rather than just trying to suppress us." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 01:43 PM Takaia sighed. "Well, I doubt that'll happen any day soon on its own." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 01:47 PM "That's why the plan. We need to wait for the right moment to start it." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 01:53 PM "Yeah; too soon or too late, and it'll be a disaster." Takaia agreed. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 02:00 PM "We also have to make sure that we've got enough food to last a while. There'll be rats too, soon." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 02:08 PM Takaia's hand flew to her belly. "Rats? Oh, they'll try to prey on cubs if they can." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 02:09 PM "Not if they end up as our prey first." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 02:15 PM "That's true." Takaia said. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 02:22 PM "Don't worry, none will get into our tent." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 02:26 PM "They'd better not." Takaia said. "Or I will tear them to pieces." she growled. All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:44 PM.

"I won't let this cub ever go hungry." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:00 PM "And neither will I, as long as I have the will to hunt and forage," Phelan said. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:06 PM Takaia nodded. She smiled and swung their intertwined hands back and forth as they walked down the main road; she dind't even seem to mind the cars as much as she normally did. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:09 PM Soon, they arrived in the park. There were even some wild animals there; mostly squirrels and birds. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:16 PM Takaia ignored them; she was glad to find that there was a wider variety of herbs to be picked now. "Will you help me with some of the picking? I'll only ask you to pick one, but we need a lot of it." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:21 PM "Alright," Phelan said. He noticed the squirrels, making a mental note to come back later when the cubs were ready to learn how to hunt. Squirrels and pigeons were good for them to learn on. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:27 PM Takaia showed him a particular plant and pointed out all its unique attributes, then made him find another patch of the same plant to make sure he got it down. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:34 PM Phelan tried to follow Taka's instructions to the letter. spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:37 PM "Good! See? It's not that hard. Now start picking some and putting it in the bagsI gave you until they're full; I'll be back soon." Takaia said. Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:42 PM "Where are you going?" spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:46 PM "to collect some other herbs, of course, but these ones will grow farther in the woods." She paused. "But don't you worry, I'm not going in that far, Phel; you'll still be able to see me." Miranda_ 04-01-2010 11:54 PM "Alright," he said. "Just don't be too long. When I've filled these bags, I'll come and find you." spirit_queen 04-01-2010 11:55 PM Takaia nodded, kissed his cheek, then literally skipped off to go pick plants. XD Miranda_ 04-02-2010 12:08 AM Phelan settled down to pick the herbs that Taka wanted. spirit_queen 04-02-2010 12:14 AM Taka wandered back and forth seeming randomly, picking lost of strange little plants. Miranda_ 04-02-2010 10:57 AM Phelan was somewhat nervous about letting Taka go off on her own, but while he could still see her, he relaxed. spirit_queen 04-02-2010 10:26 PM Takaia hummed as she picked, though she coulnd't think of the name of the tune she was humming. Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 05:03 PM Elsewhere, in a room with a locked door, a twenty-year-old woman with pitch-black hair, tanned skin, and green eyes sat on a white bed, staring out of the barred window. She'd been here for five years; her parents told her she was just here until she got rid of her delusions of being a canine, but she'd mostly gotten rid of it. Well, the doctors seemed to think so; she'd spent the past five years lying about it. She knew she wasn't delusional, but even if she proved to the doctors that she didn't have that stupid... stupid 'lycanthropy' they kept talking about, they wouldn't let her go unless her parents ordered an assessment. She scratched behind an ear, sighing. At least they'd stopped giving her that medication in order to assess her mental state when she was off them; she'd scared probably half the patients on the floor with her screaming and howling from all the nightmares the pills caused. Even though it had been about a week and a half since the last dose, she still had the occasional fit of nightmares. She heard somebody unlocking the door, and one of the orderlies came in with a sketchpad and colored oil sticks. "Here you go, Zeeva. Figured you might be bored today and since you've been good, you're allowed to draw today." "Thanks." Her voice was rather muted. The orderly put the oil sticks and sketchpad on the side table and leaned against it, his head tilted. "You alright?" "Just waiting for my parents to visit. I need to talk to them." Her parents visited once or twice a month; not out of nastiness or busybodiness, but due to rules about visitations. Especially to a patient who had been as violent as she had been when she'd first come in; they'd put her on some medication that had really drove her up the wall. While it wouldn't have done something like that to a human, it affected canines badly. "They're coming today right?" "Yep. I'll bring them up. The er, visiting room was ruined yesterday." "Rambo again?" Rambo was a patient who suffered from delusions that he was Sylvester Stallone. "Yeah. Got into a fight with his brother. He's in erm, iso right now. I don't think it's quite fair, but he should know by now. He was making such good progress, too." The orderly sighed and shook his head. "I'll bring your parents up when they get here. Just ah." He glanced at the door and lowered his voice to a whisper. "I know how much you like drawing canines. You might want to not do that today. Those pictures are the reason the doctors want to keep you here, because they think you still think you're a canine." Zeeva smiled humorlessly. "Yeah, I know. I'll just draw a cat instead. Cats are cute. Especially kittens." She picked up the sketchpad and began to scratch into the paper a bit to get an idea of what she was going to draw. The orderly got a buzz on his pager; her parents were here, and he left, remembering to shut the door behind him. Downstairs, in the lobby, Zeeva's mother and father were sitting on a couch reserved for waiting visitors. The woman, Arna, was fidgeting with her purse. "I don't like it here. Why can't we transfer her to the other one?" She knew full well why; the other facility still used electro-shock treatment. But at least the other one didn't look so sterile; she hated hospitals, and this place was about the spitting image of one. Miranda_ 04-03-2010 10:11 PM Zeeva's father, Phillip, just sighed. "I don't really think much of the other one," he said. "They have a reputation for using rougher treatment to rid patients of delusions." Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 10:14 PM "Which means she wouldn't have had to suffer here. You saw what those medications did to her here. The cure can be worse than the problem, you know." She sniffed derisively. "I never liked the idea of her being on those crazy pills anyway." "Good morning." The orderly opened the door with a smile. "Zeeva's up and about and doing nicely today; no nightmares last night." Miranda_ 04-03-2010 10:32 PM "I don't see how shock therapy would have worked better." Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 10:35 PM "It would've jarred the delusions out of her. At least the electroshock wouldn't give her nightmares for five years." She got up to follow the orderly. Upstairs, Zeeva had already drawn a very cute kitten; it was playing with a ball of yarn. It was almost like a photograph of a moment frozen in time: the ball of yarn suspended in the air, the kitten with a look of awe and glee in its wide eyes. She was just finishing the whiskers when her parents were brought in. Miranda_ 04-03-2010 10:50 PM Phil got up too. "And just maybe it would have killed her, or turned her into a vegetable. Would you have prefered that?" Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 10:56 PM "That would've been a lobotomy that did that. Can we just not argue, please? I've got a good feeling about today's visit. I heard the doctors made progress with her recently." They were taken upstairs to Zeeva's room; she was carefully taking the picture out of the sketchpad so that it could be framed and sent home with her parents. When the door opened, Zeeva immediately jumped up to hug her father. "Daddy! I missed you!" Miranda_ 04-03-2010 11:10 PM "I'm not arguing, you're just showing appalling ignorance on the subject of electro shock therapy," Phillip said. "Who went thru medical school, me or you?" Phillip was a doctor who did general practition work. When Zeeva hugged him, he hugged her hard. He missed his daughter so much; she'd been a real Daddy's girl. Yet, he wanted her to be better. Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 11:16 PM "Daddy, can you please ask them to let me out of here? I stopped being.. whatever it was. That stupid L word." She rubbed the back of her head after she stopped hugging him. "I'm starting to wonder if I imagined all of it in a dream. You know how I am with lucid dreaming." She giggled nervously. Miranda_ 04-03-2010 11:27 PM "Are you completely sure?" Phillip said. He so much wanted it to be true... "Cuz if you are, I'll ask the doctors to do an assessment." Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 11:29 PM "I'm sure, Daddy. I think them taking me off that stupid pill helped me think clear about it." She bit her lip. "Please, Daddy?" Miranda_ 04-03-2010 11:50 PM "I promise I'll ask the doctors today, after visiting time's finished." Silent_Wolf 04-03-2010 11:52 PM "Yay!" ^_^ She picked up the sketchpad. "Can I get a kitten like this one? They're so cute." She really hadn't changed too much. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 12:02 AM "Of course. Anything to get you home where you belong." Silent_Wolf 04-04-2010 12:05 AM "I love you guys!" She hugged both her parents. *later* Miranda_ 04-04-2010 12:16 AM Phillip had asked the doctors to do the assessment of his daughter as soon as they could. Silent_Wolf 04-04-2010 12:18 AM They weren't too thrilled to hear this, but agreed to do it first thing the next day. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 04:18 PM Phillip had insisted on it, saying his daughter was now cured of her delusions. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 08:00 PM After having picked all the herbs she needed, Taka walked home with Phel, encouraging him to talk to Marea along the way. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 08:07 PM Phelan had agreed. It had gone on too far, and needed to be laid to rest. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 08:08 PM Ooc: I'll play Marea if you want me to. Takaia was glad, and agreed with him. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 08:19 PM Ooc: Okies. "It's all down to you, you know," Phelan replied. All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:44 PM.

"I know. Now, go talk to her; I'll carry the herbs back." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 08:29 PM Phelan went to find Marea. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 08:31 PM Marea was sitting alone, as per usual; she tended to isolate herself nowadays. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 08:33 PM Phelan came up to her. "We should talk," he said. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 08:34 PM Marea jumped and look up at him, and nodded numbly; she coulnd't believe he'd come up to her, especially since he'd avoided her for so long. She thought that he blamed her for losing the cub. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 08:40 PM "About the cub... we need to stop blaming ourselves for it," Phelan said. "I always blamed myself; we need to stop it and live in peace. It was just something that happened, and not cuz of anything either of us did." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 08:42 PM "You mean you don't blame me?" Marea. "You blamed youself? Oh, Phel." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:19 PM "I never blamed you," Phelan said. "I always thought it was my fault for not looking after you properly." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 09:22 PM "But it wasn't; it just happened the wrong time of year, I know that now." Marea said. "We should have waited longer, so that I would have gotten pregnant in the spring." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:30 PM "We should have, but we shouldn't blame ourselves. It's just eating us up inside." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 09:31 PM "Yeah; I often feel like I've just stopped living." Marea said. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:34 PM "Maybe one day, you'll find someone who you can have another cub with, who'll make you happy." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 09:40 PM "Perhaps." Marea said. "On another note, I'm glad you're with Takaia; you deserve her." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:47 PM "Thanks." Phelan wasn't sure about whether or not to tell Marea that Taka was with cub. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 09:48 PM "So, how have things been going for you lately?" Marea asked. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:49 PM "Alright," Phelan said, cautiously. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 09:53 PM "Phel?" Marea said. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 09:58 PM "What is it?" he replied, worried. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 10:00 PM "You're not being completely honest with me, I feel like you're holding something back." Marea said. "I mean, you don't have to tell me, but I'm your friend." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 10:07 PM "I'm just a bit worried about how you might react." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 10:09 PM "Whay's that?" Marea asked. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 10:11 PM "Taka's with cub," Phelan said. "It wasn't planned, but it happened. I was worried you might be upset." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 10:12 PM Marea smiled. "Well, it hurts a little, true, but my happiness for you overpowers it. Congratulations, Phel." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 10:18 PM "Thanks," Phelan said. "That's taken a weight off my mind." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 10:19 PM "Well, it's like you said; I'll get another chance someday." Marea said. "You're just having yours first, and with someone you really seem to love." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 10:34 PM "I do love her," Phelan said. "It's the real thing." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 10:36 PM "That's absolutely wonderful, Phelan. I'm so happy for you." Marea said with a smile. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 11:16 PM Phelan gave Marea an awkward hug. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 11:17 PM Marea returned it. "So... we're back to being friends, then?" Marea said with a hint of humor concealing true happiness. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 11:30 PM "That's right. I'm glad we've sorted this out, finally." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 11:32 PM "Yeah, me, too." Marea said. "Thanks." Miranda_ 04-04-2010 11:42 PM Phelan took his leave of Marea and went to find Taka. spirit_queen 04-04-2010 11:53 PM Taka was in their tent, making new salves and the like with the herbs they'd picked. Miranda_ 04-04-2010 11:55 PM "Everything's alright," he said to her. "I talked to Marea and fixed things up." spirit_queen 04-04-2010 11:58 PM "That's great!" Taka said. "I'm so glad; it must have felt good to finally settle that." Miranda_ 04-05-2010 12:09 AM "Much better. Now we can stop blaming ourselves and be at peace, finally." spirit_queen 04-05-2010 12:11 AM "Which is good; as a healer, I know that not only the body needs to be taken care of, but the heart and mind as well, for that leads to true health." Taka said. Miranda_ 04-05-2010 12:20 AM "I hope so," Phelan replied. "I'm trying to calm down now; not to get so stressy at what I can't change." spirit_queen 04-05-2010 12:26 AM "I think it's working." Takaia said. "And, of course, I'll always be around to help." Miranda_ 04-05-2010 12:28 AM "I hope so. You've done so much for me already." Phelan kissed Taka. All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:44 PM.

I love you." Taka said. She then went back to kissing him. Miranda_ 04-05-2010 12:43 AM Phelan smiled and kissed her back. *later* Todd was still finding his feet in the camp. He didn't walk very far from his tent, cuz his feet were still sore, but he was determined to not be stuck in the tent the whole time. Silent_Wolf 04-05-2010 12:07 PM Sinopa was checking on him. "You mind helping me a bit today? It's nothing that'll strain you too much. Miranda_ 04-05-2010 07:58 PM Todd agreed, mainly cuz he was getting very bored being stuck all alone. "As long as I don't have to walk very far," he added. Sarah_K_O_M 04-05-2010 08:46 PM Aldo was at camp, putting newspapers into boxes. Miranda_ 04-05-2010 08:49 PM Connor had left the tent that had been allocated to him and Emily, and was sitting hopelessly in a corner. He was still in his wolf form. Sarah_K_O_M 04-05-2010 09:29 PM Aldo approached him. "Hey, you." Miranda_ 04-05-2010 09:35 PM Connor's head jerked up, as tho he expected a blow. He was still tense when he saw Aldo; he was too much like a human for Connor to feel comfortable around him. All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:45 PM.
