@purp; well i'll give you a recap. diesel sensed the storm brewing but he didnt know what it could be. he sent out a patrol of dogs: otter's rocket, bleu's aspen, phenomin's daimen, moose's rigby, and i forgot who's carson to go scope it out, ya know? aspen's leading the patrol and is waiting by the hideout enterance with daimen for the other dogs to gather and go with.

❝ I was doing everything possible in order to isolate my self from the group as we lounged freely amoung this old and abandoned train. The smell of aged metal and rust was overpowering as it filled my nose, the smell of rats was also apparent, but the noticeable scent was the one of dogs. The one of us. The day was fairly young, and although there was much promise for further events, the mood I was in prohibited me from thinking about enjoying any of these future events. As I looked around at the others, my frame cool and collected as it was layed down next to the rusted iron horse, I began to doze off, in fact, I almost fell asleep once. Gently, I would catch as glance with the soothing sunlight outside; I knew it would scream at my crystal blue eyes to flutter open, and they did every time. I thoroughly undertstood that this wasn't suppsoed to happen, but what could I say? I was exhausted to say the least, and I needed some rest. Not another schedule overloaded with things I was expected to do. No. I wasn't in the mood for a quota, but i would do whatever I was told, because as long as I had protection and a place to sleep, I was glad to be entitled to doing anything to help. It was odd, I thought, that as soon as I had let the thought slip from my mind, the anxious-to-get-going Diesel was already confronting Aspen about leading the patrol. Although it didn't show, the fact that he had appointed her of all dogs had bothered me. Diesel was probably like others, after the most beautiful female, giving her authority in order to be some sort of obnoxious flirt. It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, but it still did to some degree. I understood I wasn't drop dead beautiful. I was one they would say had a 'pretty face that you would remember', but I wasn't 'so beautiful that the sun would be jealous of how bright I shined'. I was strong and useful, able to remember tactics and such. I was also brave, another nice trait to have, but because of my ways, I wasn't considered the most 'lady-like' of the pack. I was glad, because I was unusual. Unnoticed, but unusual.

When Aspen began to walk over to the exit, I quickly followed, instantly catching up with her. As I passed Diesel, I managed a friendly smile and dipped my head, trotting past him easily and smoothly. I yawned, trying to make it go unnoticed that I was exhausted, for I didn't want to make it seem like I was uncapable of doing certain tasks. As long as I was concerned, I'd try to rule the world in the most non-evil way possible. This made me chuckle. I looked at Aspen, a certain glitter in my eyes, and I smiled. I wanted her to understand that I was friendly, even if she hadn't caught the seemingly-offputting vibe I had released a few minutes ago. I believed that reputation was very important. Not popularity {honestly, what does it do for you in the end?}, but reputation. Reputation was what it all came down to, who was a good dog, who was not a good dog, who was loyal, who was honest, who was a traitor. You know, simple stuff. ❞

↷ superman shook out his pelt slightly, trying his best to remain quiet. he'd yet to be given something to do all morning -- which was, in his defense, not a smart idea ; everyone knows superman can't be trusted when he's bored -- so he had taken it upon himself to do something productive. and that something productive just so happened to be stealthily following sloane and nova on their trip to speak to a loner. he'd had some trouble being quiet due to nova's snide comments. they amused him much more than they should have, and at one point superman had forced himself to stop and let the faes get far enough ahead of them that they wouldn't be able to hear his chuckling and he wouldn't hear their conversations. superman was hidden in a bush, however cliche that may have sounded, while he watched nova and sloane approach the loner. the fact that he hadn't seen any humans on their way unnerved him, and an air of tension settled around him. superman felt a shiver deep in his bones and crouched down farther, not liking the feeling. not one bit. superman hadn't realized how long he'd been away from camp, and debated whether or not to go back. he didn't think he'd be too missed . . . he backed up a step, and then jerked his head back toward nova and sloane, hoping he hadn't given himself away. the last thing he needed was nova telling him off for being sneaky.

↷ mollie watched while all of her packmates bustled about, receiving orders from diesel to do this and that. she noticed that rigby looked pretty put down, but decided to let it go, figuring that he'd get over it eventually. anyways, he was already leaving camp. mollie stood up and wagged her tail, padding over to where diesel stood. " mornin', " she greeted him, dipping her head. the golden retriever wriggled her nose slightly as she spoke, casting a glance toward the sky. " weather's kind of crazy today. " mollie didn't mean to be a bother, which she figured she was probably being at the moment, so she cut to the chase. " there anything you want me to do? " she paused. " if there isn't, i could just stay here . . . watch the camp, y'know. be a gaurd or something. " mollie wanted to make things as easy as possible for the beta, and she guessed that if she let him know she wouldn't be offended if there wasn't any work for her, that would help. mollie took a couple steps back so she wasn't crowding him and patiently waited for an answer, sitting down lightly and tucking her tail over her paw. it tickled a bit, though, so she moved her tail and focused more on the beta before her than on her tail's position by her paws.

-----i tried my best to keep back a snarl of defiance, because surely this fae hadn't the slightest idea just who she was messing with, but i did permit a snort. i lifted my chin, narrowing my amber eyes towards the australian shepherd. i dispised the usage of my full name over females, perticuarly like this one, anyday. i leapt atop a curb and found myself looking down apon her; it was just the way i liked it. "oh, please. anyone with a right mind could see im just trying to help you pick up your lacking status a little more. i mean, you'd think you'd want to prove everybody wrong in thinking you were a coward by being first to confront the big bad loner, but if its too frightning for you i'll step in. don't want to humiliate the pack now do we?"
-----i felt a bit evil repeating what she had said in a snarky comment, but a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do, am i right? i quickened my pace, and as i passed her i stared at her and apart of me felt as it i was still on that curb, or perhaps even a park bench, glare as cold as ice as i looked down apon her. but of course, we were practically the exact same height. i curse my breed. i wish i were an irish wolfhound instead.
-----i padded past sloane, taking it apon myself to confront the loner first. walking close to her, i noticed she was a skinny thing, spinly black and white fur actually neatly kept, for a loner anyhow. she had almond brown eyes that sort of matched my fur in this fierce lighting. but as i neared closer and stepped into the shade with the border collie, i saw they were more like the color of my nose: liver. "welcome to the dark side, darlin'. where's your proof of admittion?" i used trickery in my words, but they resembled more like metaphors. i looked down at the loner, eyebrows raised and shoulders tense. a warning perhaps.

-----after making my announcement, i leapt down from the counter, my nails scraping on the tile. they slid a little at the landing too, but i was able to quickly regain by balance just like i was always able to do. but as for the pack being able to regain their balance after this mystery occurance? i wasnt too sure. maybe if i knew what it was that was coming for us, what had even the humans scared then maybe i could help. but for now? worring myself was all that was possible.
-----just as i was about to head down the tunnel back to my train cart, i was stopped by the humble golden retriever, mollie. i smiled to her in return, and its unfortunate that i wasnt too good at masking my feelings like other dogs. it was plain to see the smile was forced, and though i was happy to see a dog that always appeared happy, i just wasnt feeling it today, hense when i was just about to stop her when she brought up the topic of the weather. to me it was kind of like a slap on the nose, but i was ever so thankful when she quickly changed it and i came to realization it was just a way to get my attention. she was good at it, i'd give her that.
-----at her offer, i drooped my ears and let out a sigh, one that felt so easy to get off my chest. and it was strange because even though it was such a small offer, one with big intentions, mollie just about lifted the world off my shoulders. i raised my eyes at her, ears still back. "thank you, mollie. your offer is greatly appreciated, honest. i have high hopes that the patrol is doing well on their mission, and with all the humans leaving i dont quite think its that sort of danger, but then again i could be wrong, but we've found a hideout that's kept us hidden for some twenty years, not even a false alarm. im sure guarding isnt necessary." i pressed my cold nose to her forehead, a sign of gratitude. pulling away i added, "but you know, i dont know if we're needed to take refugee here for a while. i know neither of us are scavengers, but maybe a quick hunt about for food will help, for both the pack and to settle our minds."
