A Tale of Two Packs— The Split (Wolf RP, Play)

[belloblossom]

Storm | Hunter | Rebel | Location: Camp | Tagging: Karter, Max, Daryl, Titania, Denzell

Storm looked to Titania, who was in fact, right at her side and gasped.
"Oh my gosh, you are RIGHT here!" She said. "Sorry, I guess I didn't see you." She said. "But now we can go hunting-" She whipped her head around when she heard someone shouting at her and after a moment of looking, and then looking down rather than at her own eye level, she spotted Denzell.

"I'm not yelling any MORE, you DOOFUS!" She called back to Denzell in frustration, not realizing that in that moment, she was definitely yelling. "Anyway, now YOU'RE yelling, so YOU should stop it!"

Max | Alpha | Dusk Pack | Tagging: Daryl, Storm, Karter | Location: Camp


"Don’t you think that it being so early into the spring season, sending a larger patrol out for bigger game on an off chance would simply be a waste of energy? We’ve received no indication that the herds have made their return to our parts of the land yet," Max pointed out. Or if there had been word, it certainly had yet to reach him, and he liked to stay as informed as possible. He didn’t like the idea of wasting energy and time if it could be helped. "Unless you have news I didn’t know of before?" He prompted.


Kassandra | Hunter | Dusk Pack | Tagging: Quin | Location: Camp


Kass turned at the sound of a voice, drawing her out of her daily grooming routine. She only allowed herself to remain distracted for a moment though before she returned to smoothing down sleek black fur, well kept. If nothing else, she valued her appearance. Some days, she worried it was all she had, she was a Hunter now, but with so many Hunters in the Pack, she wondered if she really contributed much these days. "Ah…good morning, Quin. It’s been a bit since I saw you around. How are you holding up?"


Luciano | Warrior | Dusk Pack | Tagging: Rion | Location: Camp


Luciano was the furthest thing from a social figure that one could possibly imagine. He enjoyed his solitude and his space, but he was in the end, a wolf, and wolves were, by nature, pack animals. So he didn’t have it in him to turn away from the Packmate who approached him first thing out of the den. He was concerned. Arian hadn’t come to rouse the Warriors. Sure, there had been a lot of nothing lately on patrols, but that didn’t mean they should let their guard down, surely. "No, not yet, Alpha is hovering over it and in a conversation now," he pointed out.


Denzell | Warrior Trainee | Dusk Pack | Rebel | Tagging: Storm | Location: Camp


"I'm not yelling! You’re yelling!" Denzell yelled across the clearing, quite clearly contradicting himself. He realized that after a moment of awkward silence that followed, and it was shown only in the awkward twitch of one ear. "Fine, well I wouldn’t be yelling anyway if you weren’t, do you plan to scare away all the prey before you can even get out there?" He scoffed. Normally he wasn’t so quick to frustrate, but he’d had a rough night. It was no excuse, but it did explain his shorter than normal fuse. Oops.

[belloblossom]

Zeus | Warrior | Rebel | Location: Camp | Tagging: Shadow, Lukina

Zeus frowned when both wolves seemed content to leave their stomachs empty while Max was guarding the prey pile. She turned her gaze to Lukina when the smaller she-wolf spoke.
"Do you really think he'd attack you?" She asked and looked dubiously over her shoulder at Max. Sure, he hadn't exactly been friendly lately, but... "It seems like he's in a better mood this morning." She mused. He probably was in such a good mood because unlike their Beta, Max didn't have a care in the world. Not only had he slept soundly, Zeus theorized, but he surely had a wonderful dream too, about eating puppies or something properly evil. She shuddered at the thought and then nodded to Shadow again.

"If anyone asks, our cover story is that I needed to lure you into the words to confess my undying love for you." She told Shadow with a smile and then she started to head off towards the path that would lead away to camp. "Heck, I might do that anyway." She added with a shrug. "Gotta live while we're alive, right?" She said, before ducking her head under a particularly low hanging branch and scurrying off to a place with less commotion going on. She wanted to discuss Shadow's rebellion plans as soon as they were out of earshot - everything seemed to be dragging along so slowly!

[sunhorsestar]

Shadow | Beta | Dusk Pack | Rebel | Tagging: Lukina, Zeus | Location: Camp


"Thank you." She tilted her head in confusion, a possible fight? With Max? He surely wouldn’t attack one of his own Packmates over something like that, would he? Of course, he’s changed a lot since he became Alpha. Sky dogs only know what that wolf will get up to these days. "No no, nothing like that, I’m sure. Certainly he can intimidate a great deal of wolves, but more than anything, personally I keep distance out of respect. He’s clearly engaged in some conversation now regarding the food situation, I doubt approaching now would be viewed as particularly good timing," she said. She did not fear Max, not in the slightest. She feared what his rule might do to their once peaceful and harmonious Pack, but as an individual, she did not fear the Alpha.

The idea of Max attacking one of his own wasn’t exactly completely out of the picture, it had happened before, but never over such trivial matters, nor over idle frustrations. However, she understood that his tendency to snap could make many a wolf nervous in the Alpha's presence. No Alpha should rule their Pack through fear, he has taken the honour of this Pack and torn it apart. One day, it’ll come back to bite him, and I want to be long gone from here by the time that happens.

Shadow blinked. Now there was something she wasn’t expecting to hear. Max had always given her quite a bit of lenience, she’d never needed to really make excuses, but it still caught her off-guard. "I see. Alright then." She wasn’t sure how to respond to that. An honest rambling? A strangely put joke she did not entirely understand? Shadow lifted her head and headed into the forest, slipping away from camp. "Walk with me, then, the forest will provide us some peace and quiet."

Lukina- f- 3 1/2- Hunter (den mother in future)- willing to be Beta- willing to take a trainee- supports: Shadow- pan; Shadow (will get pregnant in future but male doesn't stick around)- pups: Sorin in the future- Tags: Shadow, Zeus

The golden eyed gray wolf looked to Zeus, saying "I don't know...He's been pretty awful lately," and glanced towards the alpha. Zeus seemed to be right, he did seem in a better mood. She'd bet anything he didn't have problems sleeping at night... and she shook her head at that thought. She nearly tensed when Zeus spoke to Shadow. Nearly, but she did not do so. She wasn't sure if Zeus was joking or not, for one thing. Plus...she herself was pan, so she may or may not be a little attracted to Zeus herself.

She then nodded as Shadow told them to walk with her. She watched as Zeus ducked under what seemed a low hanging branch. She herself ducked under it as well. She then headed out after the bigger two she wolves. She flicked her tail and twitched her ears, catching some sounds of the forest. She looked to Zeus, and wondered what she'd say or ask. She was intrigued, to say the least. She'd fallen silent now, waiting until someone said or asked something else she could answer.

Titania- f- 6 y- hunter- willing to be Beta- willing to take a trainee- supports: Shadow- nope- Oberon is her mate (black phase with blue eyes)- Navii (npc) and Linkk- no family in the RP- Tags: Storm, Max and others

The green eyed fluffy lighter brown female smiled a canine smile at Daryl, nodding to him a moment. She then said "Oh, he's doing fine, but he didn't want to get up...I had to make him get up," she said with a small sigh. She then brightened up, saying "Thank you for asking about him."

She then turned back to Storm, and nodded at the younger she wolf. She said "It's fine," then nodded as the other said it was time to go hunting. She sighed when Storm and Denzell began yelling at each other. She said "Settle down, you two...You can yell at each other after we come back from hunting. Not that you really need to yell at each other," she then said. She shook her head a couple times. She then glanced around at the other wolves gathered there.

Linkk- m- 1 y- hunter- no beta- willing to take a trainee- homosexual; Blizzard potentially, Comet, Crow and Ember- supports: Shadow- Oberon x Titania- Navii is his twin sister- no other family in the RP- Tags: Crow, Ember

Just like that, two black wolves walked straight up to him. The smaller squeaked and gasped a bit as they did so and spoke to him. He lowered his head for a moment...knowing he had crushes on both of them. He'd never told them, of course. He didn't know if they'd feel the same, plus maybe they liked girls anyway. He'd never actually asked them...He was pretty sure they saw him as a friend, too. He didn't want to ruin that or make anything awkward with them.

Shaking his head, he offered a small smile as he looked at them. He didn't think his name was that hard to pronounce. However, he'd never gotten mad or scolded Crow for it. Instead, he just giggled a bit then scolded himself. He nodded to the two of them, and said "Good morning, Ember." He then looked to Crow, saying "Good morning to you too. Um...I guess it's treating me fine, but I didn't really want to get up just yet...Mom said I have to get up and do my job," he said.

Not entirely true, she'd just nudged him and nipped him.

What she'd said was he could look, but still had to do his work.

Rion- m- 2 y 8 mo- warrior- willing to be beta- willing to take a trainee- supports: Max- homosexual; Luciano but open to be crushed on- wants pups somehow- no family in RP- Tags: Luciano (others can join them)

The dark faced brown male dipped his head to the other. He then raised it back up, shaking himself off a bit. He yawned a bit, seeming to release some stress. Luciano could question him on that if he wanted, but Rion wasn't even sure Luciano would. He offered a small, canine smile to the other. He said "Ah, yeah...I see him over there. I guess we should just wait for the hunters to get more food...I could always go over there and see if he'll let me take some food," he said.

Quin- f- 1 and 1/2- healer- no beta- willing to take a trainee- supports: Max- bi, poly- crush: Kass- mate when three or older- no pups yet (will probably name one Kiia)- no family in RP- Tags: Kass (others can join them)

The she wolf took immediate notice that the other was grooming herself. Not really thinking, she began to groom herself. She then realized what she was doing and stopped herself. Shaking her head, she looked at the other female. "Do you...want any help grooming?" was the first thing out of her mouth. She then squeaked and looked at her paws. Looking back up, she said "I've been...as fine as I can be, I guess. Max seems...different too, but he's still our alpha, and...he's a good alpha."

Oriole- genderfluid (female)- 1 y- hunter- no beta- willing to take a trainee- supports: Max- bi, poly open- Jay is crush- Jay will be mate in future- will try for pups at three years old- Basil is/was aunt- Tags: Jay?

The happy and playful but fiery and and hard headed one yawned. The white muzzled one moved around a bit. Pretty, light colored gray eyes were shut. The one with the white chest patch was still asleep, as it seemed to be obvious. The white tipped tail flicked from time to time. The ears went back then pushed forward, seeming to hear sounds. However, the other was asleep and couldn't really respond to sounds. White paws moved a bit, as if the chocolate one were following something in dreams.[/quote]

[belloblossom]

Red | Lead Hunter | Location: Camp | Tagging: Daryl, Max, Titania, Karter, Storm

Arian hadn't been the only one to sleep in, but rather than do this on mistake, Red had taken her time on purpose. Things had been tense lately in the pack, no thanks to Max and Shadow barely working together. Red's ears twitched as she looked out from the hunters den and gazed around. Everyone needed the extra rest and she'd given it to them. Now, it certainly seemed like her hunters had energy, based on how many of them were crowding the Alpha and how Storm seemed insistent on scaring all the prey across the river.

Red stomped over to the hunters.

"Storm, you fool! Do you want to chase all the prey over the river when it flees there to the sound of wolves howling? Lower your voice!" She barked at the younger hunter. She turned her gaze to the others. "Since you are all here, it must mean that you're energetic and eager to go on a patrol. Daryl, Storm, Titania and Karter." She spoke all their names to get their attention. "Titania, you're in charge. Take them alongside the river's edge." She glanced at Max, raising her eyebrows at him as thought to ask for his approval. Then again, he'd made her Lead Hunter so she could do this part of his job for him. "Titania, take these pups with you and keep them together. You've had your life as a hunter, I expect you know how to lead a patrol by now." She nodded her approval to the she-wolf and then turned her attention to the lingering warrior in the group. "Karter, you're here because...?" She inclined her head, side-eying another wolf in the group. Karter had never been subtle, anyone in the pack could see it. "Because of Storm? Or to be an escort? Either way, make yourself useful on this patrol." She said.

She nodded to the wolves.
"Hop to, the pack is starving and it's on us to feed their hungry bellies. Don't come home until you've each caught one thing, two per wolf is even better." She went on, before waving a paw to dismiss them.

Turning her gaze to Max, she inclined her head.
"My apologies for turning up late, Alpha, it will not happen again." She told him firmly, confident in her words.

[belloblossom]

Crow & Ember | Hunters | Location: Camp | Tagging: Link

Ember smiled shyly at Link.
He has the prettiest eyes. Thought Ember, but he was too self-conscious to say anything out loud. Instead he let Crow speak, because Crow was the speaker between the two of them. Like his namesake, Crow was curious and intelligent and he never forgot a grudge. Ember, like his namesake, was a hidden warmth that fluttered under the surface, but burned brightest among others. This was to say, also, that Crow was practical while Ember was romantic and full of metaphors.

Crow knew his twin like he knew himself, but he hoped that Ember would find his voice some day. In the meantime, however, Crow was happy to do the speaking.
"Your mother... She knows you're an adult now? A proper hunter who doesn't need her pestering?" He prompted and shook his head. "You're fortunate to have your mother in your life, but I can't say I envy a wolf who still has their mother treating them like a pup through adulthood." He replied. Ember nodded his silent agreement. "Besides, she isn't the Lead Hunter, so she really shouldn't be telling you what to do with your time. If you get scolded by Red, or Shadow, or Max that's another matter that you really should worry about, but with Titania? I daresay you have your rights to tell her to knock it off." Crow smiled at the brown wolf. "Ember and I can be there to back you up, if you need our help. We like you." He said.

Here, Ember nodded again, but pressed close to his brother's side. How embarrassing and yet so bold that Crow could speak their interest of another wolf so plainly! He glanced up at Linkk and his pretty eyes and then back to his twin, Crow, waiting to see what would come next in this conversation.

[belloblossom]

Zeus | Warrior | Rebel | Location: Forest | Tagging: Shadow, Lukina

When Zeus was certain that they were out of earshot from the main camp, she breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Shadow.
"Okay, we've been waiting months, Shadow. What's the plan?" She asked. "Lukina's right - Max has been acting up more and more lately. Who knows, maybe he would attack her if she interrupted him in the midst of a discussion with the other hunters?" She shook her head. "I can't stand for his attitudes, questioning all of us as though he runs the pack! Well, he does run the pack, but..." She lowered her head, lowered her gaze and lowered her voice. "But he shouldn't be. What are we going to do to prevent tensions from rising, Shadow? Surely, you must have a plan, right?"

Zero - male - warrior - training: Lucas - romance is closed
tags: Arian

The white male was looking around the clearing, his eyes saw the young puppy he was training with, but before going to him he wanted to see if the lead warrior wanted anything. The large pack was very chaotic in the mornings when everyone was running around like a tornado "Ariel, good morning..." he called out to the young female. He shook his head respectfully "Is there anything for me to do or help you with your tasks?" he asked her.

Minttu - female - hunter/rebel - crushes: Denzell
Tags: Terra, Quin, Asphodel

She was being thought about a lot recently, she was a hunter she liked to hunt that's why she chooses to become one, but she started to think that maybe being a hunter was not a thing she really liked at all. Shaking her head she looked at the gathering groups there, then decided to give herself a second choice of life. Swallowing her throat she walked over to the healer's den "Excuse me...are you busy? Can we talk?" she called out to the two healers and the apprentice.

Ezra - female - den-mother/ rebel - crushes: Dixon
tags: Dixon

Yawning the pregnant female was hungry, again. She was always hungry sometimes she started to wonder if she was carrying an adult wolf there or a whole pack as no matter how much she ate she just didn't feel satisfaction. She walked out of the nursery to shake her fur as well as she took a better glare around the camp seeing one of the lonely wolves there and approved him "Oh good morning my precious hunter...anyway, is something wrong?" she asked the male, which kind of charmed her in some weird yet scary ways.

Chronos - male - warrior trainee/ rebel - trained by: Fish - crushes: Karter
tags: Karter, Storm, Daryl, Titania, Denzell, Max

The black young wolf walked out of the trainee's den, his eyes looking for all the noises the pack was massive, and for a not fully-grown wolf, it was kind of scary to walk around without being bumped by at least someone. Flicking his tail high as he walked over to the group where the Karter was with other warriors "Hello hello, what are you guys planning here? All so suspicious" he said with a joke. He heard a little of rumors about things going on, but as he was not sure he didn't think them more than just rumors "Anyone seen Fish?" he asked them.

Nyx - female - pup/ rebel - crushes: open
tags: Leo, Catania, Lucas

She was anxious too tired to do anything, but still too bored to stay still either. Only a moon and she could start her training, she could not wait for that. Her eyes looked at Leo there and then to Catania "Hey you two? Any plans for today?" she asked them flicking her black tail "Want to play or something?" she kept asking before noticing the trainee there "Morning Luca boy..." she said playfully.

Storm | Hunter | Rebel | Location: Camp | Tagging: Karter, Denzell, Chronos (mentions: Red, Titania, Daryl, Max)

Storm was opening her mouth to bark a very loud, very irritated retort at Denzell again. Something that would imply that at least she was a proper hunter, while Denzell had to get held back for being rude. And then she'd point out that he was being rude again, by shouting at her. And then she'd say something else smart too, that would really put him in his place and keep him quiet! But she couldn't think of what that was just yet.

And anyway, she didn't get the opportunity to, before Red came in and gave her a scolding. Why didn't someone scold Denzell? He'd been shouting too. She flattened her ears and moved to stand over Karter, resting her chin on top of his head. Karter had always been her resting post, her leaning tree and her comfort stone. She looked over to Chronos as he approached and tilted her head.

"What're you accusing us of?" She asked. Max, their Alpha was right there. He'd been overseeing this entire thing, up until Red had come put them straight. She shook her head. "Whatever. Go find your mentor without nosing your way into a conversation with adults. You can talk to us when you're grown." She said with a half grin before she looked to Titania, the wolf who Red had put in charge of the patrol. "Okay Titania, lead the way. Karter n' me will follow." She said, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world for her to be bossing around the smaller wolf that was Karter.
