StormCry & Shadowfax - Lycans

[Shadowfax278]

((alright. I haven't had a chance yet to look at your new char forms. my day at work was really busy today so that's why my posts in both of our 1x1 rps are a bit late. I couldn't find time to post while at work like I sometimes do. nah that's okay but you might want to edit them since they no longer have broken images. I saved the pictures on my photobucket account so they'll show longer until I delete them from that which I won't do anytime soon

hm I like the pack growing a bit idea and maybe they can be at war with a small rogue pack nearby that's trying to invade into their territory some. also who's Ryan again? I don't remember him but I could be wrong . also are you going to play Sedrick at all? just wondering. where are Aiden and Kieran? I could have Raven call for Aiden and maybe the four of them, Raven and Aiden and Tami and Kieran could go on some sort of date thing while Sabrina can babysit Samantha and Sedrick))

Sabrina and company were on the other side of where Liam and her brothers were taking down a doe and heard when they finished her off. They made their way over to where they were and Aisling asked curiously, Do you guys need help bringing it back to camp? She mostly asked this to Blaire and Brazen while Zoe moved to help as well while leaving Sabrina where she was behind them.
Sabrina rolled her eyes a bit since she knew what her friends were doing or trying to do anyway and if she had been in her human form, she would be moving a loose strand of hair behind her ear shyly. What she thought her friends were trying to do was leave her and Liam alone to patrol by themselves so they could have some private time with each other.

Samantha and Naomi were playing tag but it was a bit boring with only two people so they went back into the hut to invite Sedrick to play with them. That was when the former noticed Ryan in the window trying to get some food.
"Want to come play with us?" Samantha asked him which caused Tami and Raven to turn in surprise to see who she was talking to.

[StormCry]

(AHG! I forgot poor Sedrick. I think Ryan was a possible crush for Samantha.... or Naomi.... or something like that. And I like the rogue/rival pack idea. What should we call their pack? And, btw, how old are Sedrick, Sam, and Naomi? 6 or 7, maybe?)

Blaire licked some blood from his furry lips, resting his eyes on Aisling. He twitched his ears back shyly and shifted on his feet. He opened his mouth to answer, but he was quickly interrupted.
"Nah!" Brazen broke in, shoving into Blaire and pushing him away "We don't need any help. But you girls are welcome to watch us work and flex our muscles." he puffed his chest out and wagged his tail. Inwardly, Brazen was laughing to himself. Hitting on Aisling had so many benefits. For one, it made Blaire insanely jealous, which was hilarious. Also, he did it to watch Zoe's reactions. He liked Zoe... alot... but he wasn't really for sure if she liked him. She was quiet.

Liam silently moved around the chatting group and sat down a couple of feet from Sabrina.
"Uh..." he twitched his ears nervously and avoided making eye contact with her "So, are you on patrol?" he asked, glancing at her quickly.

Ryan's heart almost burst out of his chest when the little girl spoke. He'd been caught. He ducked under the window sill, his heart thumping in his chest faster than a scared jackrabbit, then he scampered around the side of the hut, making for a quick escape.

Sedrick had been playing by himself in the hut while his mom and aunt Raven talked. He built some block buildings, then he knocked them down with his wooden snake.
"Wah! Oh no! It's the giant horned snake!" he had snatched Samantha's little pine cone people and was knocking them all over the place, pretending they were running away from the snake.
Just then, Samantha and Naomi walked in. He stopped playing and quickly gathered up Sam's pine cone people, tucking them quietly under a pile of blocks, so she wouldn't see them.
That's when he saw the other boy at the window, just as Samantha pointed him out.
"He's running away!" he said, jumping up to his feet and scattering blocks everywhere.

((yes poor Sedrick and I think I remember that he was a possible crush for Samantha since Naomi was going to be one for Sedrick. hm I don't know. maybe the Hollow Moon pack or does that just sound too cheesy? I was originally going to put them at 12 but maybe 7 or 8 would be better so let's say 7. also should the four adults go on a dinner date and have maybe Sabrina and Liam babysit the twins and Naomi? you didn't answer that question))

Aisling and Zoe nodded a bit before the latter looked away towards the woods. She thought that she heard a bush rustling nearby but maybe it was also just a squirrel or innocent bird moving around in one. Her ears were twitching a bit back and forth like satellite dishes trying to pick up a signal but in this case, she was trying to pinpoint the actual source of the noise since it sounded a little bigger than a squirrel or bird. She then just gave up and had her attention go back to being on the boys. She dug her claws in the dirt beneath her paws a bit when she saw that Brazen was trying to impress Aisling and that made her a bit annoyed and frustrated. It seemed to her that he was still interested in her and Sabrina's white-haired friend and wasn't really paying much attention to her. I guess me saving him from that bobcat a few years ago didn't really impress him all that much, she thought sadly to herself. I'll just have to try harder. Aisling didn't seem to notice her friend's war with emotions as she turned her attention to Blaire.
Are you okay Blaire? she asked him with a slight head tilt to the side.
Zoe rolled her eyes a bit at her friend but was silently glad that her attention wasn't on Brazen. I think we need to get the doe back to camp soon. I thought I heard something big nearby like a mountain lion, a rogue from that pack that's at war with us or a bobcat that would like to steal our meal, she said as she spoke up after a little while of being quiet since she thought that she should let the others know of the possible danger.

Yes. Would you like to join me? Sabrina said and asked shyly in reply to Liam's question as her tail wagged a bit back and forth. My friends and patrolling partners seem to have abandoned me for my brothers, and though I do enjoy going patrolling alone at times, it'll be better if I had someone else to go with me this time just in case trouble's around and I need help fighting it.

Sam was a bit taken aback by that other boy's reaction from her question of him wanting to play with them and was about to cry when she heard her twin brother's exclamation of him getting away. Both she and Naomi followed after him to see if they could catch up to him

[StormCry]

((Oops. I miss that question.... a dinner date leaving Sabrina and Liam in charge of the kids would be fine! Only, instead of a "diner date" how about a "counsel meeting"? And I like the name "Hollow Moon" for the opposing pack. Let's do that.))

Blaire wagged his tail shyly at Aisling's question, "Oh, I-I'm fine." he answered, growing more confident "I was just out of breath, is all."
Brazen sighed, "Yeah, it takes a lot for a regular wolf to keep up with something as formidable and unstoppable as me." he gave a toothy smile and cocked his head to the side slightly, squinting his eyes and wiggling his wolfish eyebrows. Although it was fleeting, Brazen thought he had seen a reaction come from Zoe earlier. He liked that.
Blaire huffed loudly and snapped gently at his brother, "Quit trying to show off. It's disgusting. And Zoe is right, we need to get going."

Liam turned to Sabrina and and his tail wagged just the slightest in a happy way.
"I would be honored to join in on your patrol." he replied. With that, he turned to the others, just now tuning into their conversation.
"If you four think you can handle this massive deer..." he looked at the doe and frowned, because it was really a small catch "Then Sabrina and I will take the patrol from here." he looked back at her for confirmation.

Rick (Sedrick) shifted into his wolf form and, with excited yips, he pounced after the girls and the stranger.
Ryan saw that he was being pursued, so he quickly changed into his wolf-pup form and, with tail between his legs, he darted away between two huts, quickly running behind one and ducking into his hiding place, which was a wood pile with a secret tunnel running through it.
Rick saw the other wolf-pup run down an ally and behind a house, but when he followed and turned the corner, the strange boy was nowhere to be seen. He put his nose to the ground and began to sniff, but with very little luck.
"I lost him!" he called to the girls.

[Shadowfax278]

((It's fine and maybe it can be both of those things ))

Aisling nodded in reply to what Blaire had said in reply to her question before sighing a bit when she heard what Brazen said and watched him do what he did. She knew that he was trying to show off but she wasn't really interested. What she had heard Zoe say earlier had her a bit worried and she hoped that they'd move to get back to camp soon since she didn't want to be around if whatever creature it was came and attacked them.
Zoe blushed a bit at what Brazen was doing before hearing what Blaire said last and just nodded in agreement. She then had her attention go towards the trees again when she heard a low growl. Go quickly. I'll stay behind to fight while you guys head back to camp and finish patrolling, she said to both groups as she fully faced the direction of where the sound had been coming from.
Aisling hesitated a little when she heard what Zoe said last but that didn't last long before she took hold of one of the doe's legs and started to pull it back towards the direction of camp.

Sabrina smiled a bit when she heard what Liam said and didn't miss the slight happy wag of his tail. She then heard everything that he said to the other group and then nodded in confirmation when he looked back at her. Her smile then faltered a bit when she heard what Zoe said about her staying behind to fight whatever had been growling but then nodded and started to head towards another direction before stopping and waiting for Liam so that he could catch up to her easily.

Samantha and Naomi followed after Sedrick as the former's brother chased after the other wolf pup and heard what he said when they caught up to him. Samantha went over to where Sedrick was and looked in the tunnel before sniffing a bit. He went in here but I don't think mommy and daddy will let us go in there, she said as she looked at Sedrick again.

[StormCry]

As soon as Brazen heard the growl behind him, he was all business. He hunkered down lower to the ground and the fur on his shoulders stood on end. He whipped around to face the brush and trees where the sound had come from, then he glanced at Blaire briefly, nodding his head the slightest.
Blaire knew what that meant. Without a word, he shifted into his human form, picked the doe up and slung her over his shoulders. He looked at Aisling as he shouldered the doe and moved into a fast walk.
"Keep me covered?" he asked her casually.
"I'll stay with you," Brazen said as he stepped just a little in front of Zoe, his fierce eyes searching the trees and brush "Just in case." he glanced toward his sister and saw that she was quickly moving the other direction. Liam made eye contact with him for a second and he nodded his head approvingly to the other wolf. Liam dipped his nose in reply, then turned and darted after Sabrina.

Liam caught up with Sabrina quickly, twitching his nose as he smelled the air around them. He could not help it when her lovely scent suffocated him and made his mind wander briefly.
"Should we move around behind whatever that sound was, just in case it's something too large for them to handle?" he asked Sabrina in a low tone.

Rick followed Sam over to the tunnel and poked his head in, sniffing deeply.
Ryan cowered far back in the tunnel as the other wolf pup peeped in. He bared his teeth and uttered a low growl.
Rick jerked his head back out when he heard the growl, but wagged his tail and whined excitedly. He pawed at the tunnel opening. He wanted to go in so bad, but Sam was right: mommy and daddy wouldn't like it. Besides that, he was scared of dark places.... only just a little....

[Shadowfax278]

Aisling dropped the doe's leg when she saw Blaire shift into his human form and then nodded in reply to his question about keeping him covered. She followed behind him while still in wolf form and had her pace match his as she kept her attention on the woods around them just in case there might be another rogue, mountain lion, or bobcat that would be attracted to the smell of fresh caught prey. It actually sounded more like a rogue shifter than a bobcat or mountain lion but since she didn't want her and Blaire to be attacked, she kept quiet for now.

Zoe watched as Brazen lowered himself slightly to the ground before turning towards where the sound came from before having her attention be on the woods around them afterward. She then looked over at the former again when she heard what he said before nodding and saying in reply, Thank you. There's also something that I've been meaning to tell you but it can wait until later since this isn't the time or place to say it now. This last thing she said was regarding her feelings for him but she thought that this wasn't a good time to say it since they were about to be attacked by an enemy of some kind. She would still tell him, though if he prodded for it. After she said that last statement, the rogue shifter came out of his hiding place and went towards them, causing Zoe to brace herself for whatever attack he threw at her. (also feel free to play him as well since he's an npc)

That's a good idea, Sabrina said just as softly as Liam before heading towards some holly bushes behind where she thought the enemy was. Once she got to the bushes, she hid in one of them and hoped that the fragrance of the bush would help mask her scent so that she wouldn't be discovered.

Maybe we should just go back home and then continue to look for him tomorrow, Sam said as she watched Rick paw the ground in front of the tunnel and also heard him whine excitedly.
Naomi just nodded in agreement to what Sam said since she didn't want to repeat what her friend said and sound like a parrot.

[StormCry]

Brazen glanced at Zoe briefly until the rogue stepped out, then he focused on the strange black wolf.
What was Zoe talking about? Was she interested in him? That sounded like a comment that an interested party would say... he couldn't afford to squander this opportunity.
Well, you know, to keep this interesting, you could tell me what you want to tell me.... Brazen broke off and jumped to the side as the rogue lunged for him. He snapped at the rogue's flank, but the other wolf bounced out of the way quickly, avoiding the blow.
You can tell me while we dance with this guy, you know. Brazen said Otherwise, I'm going to fall asleep. I think I feel a yawn coming on already.
The rogue glared at him and Brazen gave it a big toothy grin.

Liam followed Sabrina's lead and ducked into the holly bush with her. He watched with bright eyes as the rogue stepped out and engaged Brazen and Zoe. He heard Brazen chattering and rolled his eyes. That dog had issues. Seriously.
He inched forward, then looked at Sabrina, waiting for her cue to move in.

After a while, and when he could not hear any of the scuffle going on behind them, Blaire slowed his pace and moved the doe over both shoulders, getting a better grip on her.
He glanced at Aisling, admiring the shine of her pelt briefly, and smiled, "Uh, I think we're good now. So, you can get off four and onto two, if you want."
It would be a nice change to actually have an uninterrupted conversation with her for once.

Rick looked back at his sister, and his tail drooped at her suggestion.
But... he might not be around tomorrow, and there is nothing fun to do at home! he whined, then flopped onto his backside, putting on a pouty face.

Ryan listened to the conversation outside of his tunnel. A part of him wanted to meet the others and make some friends. He didn't have any friends. But the rest of him was too scared to try and make friends. He was the abandoned pup of a rogue. Nobody liked him.

[Shadowfax278]

Zoe blushed a bit when she heard everything that Brazen said before going around to another side of the rogue before saying in reply, I like you. A lot. She then rolled her eyes a bit but was careful not to let him see that action when she heard what else he said about feeling a yawn coming on before pouncing on the rogue from behind while her crush kept him occupied. She figured that him talking to him incessantly did have its perks.

Sabrina mentally face palmed when she heard her brother chatter a lot but she also came to the same conclusion as her friend when she saw Zoe pounce on the rogue. He did keep the rogue distracted in a way so that she could attack him. She then looked over at Liam when she saw him move of out the corner of her eye. She shook her head to indicate that they shouldn't move just yet.

Aisling nodded after they had gotten far enough away from the skirmish and she heard what Blaire said about her changing if she wishes and she did so. "Need any help with carrying the doe? I know you got it and also probably don't need any help but I just wanted to ask anyway since I can't let you have all the fun," she asked and said after she was finished shifting.

Samantha went over to her brother and nosed him gently before saying, Well I guess I can venture in there for a little bit to see if I can get him out but if any of us get too far in there and venture too far Momma will ground us. She then went over to the tunnel to peek in there and see if she could see the other pup while Naomi stayed behind with Rick. She went in there a little before asking him nicely, Why don't you come out and play with us? We're really nice.

[StormCry]

The rogue snarled and lunged for Brazen again, just as Zoe spoke. Brazen jumped out of the way, but the rogue did not get far before Zoe tackled him from behind. Brazen rushed up and barked at the rogue's face, drawing the snapping teeth toward himself and away from Zoe. The rogue took his threat seriously and snapped wildly at his legs.
Brazen jumped back a little, then jumped forward again, trying to keep the rogue busy.
I'm sorry, Zoe, but this rude fellow, he bounced too close and nearly got his leg caught in a tooth trap, so he kicked the rogue in the face and stepped back again was too loud and I didn't hear what you said. Could you repeat your earlier remark? he snarled when the rogue turned on Zoe, and he jumped forward with teeth bared.

Liam took note of Sabrina's nod and so settled in for a short wait. He patiently watched the fight unfold, always watching for a sign from Sabrina from the corner of his eye.

Blaire smiled as Aisling's offer to help, but he shook his head, "Naw, I can carry it." he reassured. He sighed softly to himself then, not really sure where to go with the conversation.

Ryan uttered a small, low growl when the girl wolf approached him. He pricked his ears forward as she spoke, then he shrank deeper into his corner.
If I come out to play, the adult will catch me. He said And then they'll lock me up for stealing food.
