the war of the packs | o&a

[unnamed]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ( home of the strays )

once upon a time the streets of new york city, new york were a peaceful place for the strays who
inhabited them. several separate packs on the west side of the city lived peacefully among each
other; often they interacted with each other to share fresh kills or old tricks to help cure an
illness. life was as perfect as it could possibly be. until one day a lone dog named baxter rose up
and through the ranks of the crimson pack. he caused a war and eventually everyone chose a side,
they either joined with the crimson pack or the morning pack. two generations later baxter and
the leader of the morning pack, ace, have passed long ago yet the war still rages. only time will
tell whether the damaging war continues or whether these dogs are capable of setting their
differences aside in order to work towards the greater good.

[ morning leader ] [ tagged: open ]

the night had been spent rather peacefully despite the presence of the storm, buck hadn't fallen asleep until well into the night but once he had he remained so. from what he recalled there had been no disturbances. no trucks honking horns, no shouting, and of course nothing new from the crimson pack. he didn't believe he hated the pack but they were certainly a thorn in every dog's side and made life a tad bit more difficult. under fantasia's reign and the leaders previous her the pack sought after control of the entire city and did so with malice. they believed the dogs need a firm, controlling dictatorship to fully survive. of course buck nor the morning pack saw it that way. he believed that with cooperation between the dogs a certain peace could be attained without any one dog having too much control over the others.

as buck pulled himself up from his sleeping spot he peered out of one of the windows, it was still drizzling lightly. He had hoped that by now it would have ended and they'd have an easier time hunting down something to eat. nonetheless the day still had to move along even with the rain. the male stretched his legs and back out, groaning softly as a few bones cracked. Around him the pack laid spread out, some huddled close together for warmth while others remained solitary. he cleared his throat softly as to get the attention of any who were awake without waking others. "i believe it's best we patrol. it's been several days without any sign of the crimson pack, they may be plotting something," buck had always been strict on patrolling. he believed it essential and ensured it was done daily, sometimes twice. he waited a moment for anyone to join him who desired to before beginning to walk towards the slightly ajar door that led outside.

the young collie had woken up rather early along with the sun, or what little of it actually reached them through the thick cover of clouds that had come over night. she had remained lazily laying down within the confines of the car and watched the rain for what felt like a rather long time. she had never been very fond of the rain and found that it was the only thing that made her miss a life surrounded by humans. she couldn't curl up in a warm bed anymore, the best she could do was hide out in this old piece of junk and the only blanket she had was old, dirty, and contained several holes in it. yes, the pack life was a less than glamorous one, she wasn't dotted on and groomed weekly anymore and there was never a big bowl of food waiting for her. the luxuries were long gone and while whiskey sometimes missed them she did actually enjoy the life of a stray. it was adventurous and exciting, there was always something to do.

finally the thick-coated collie sat up from her resting place as a gust of wind blew the rain sideways and a few small droplets found their way through the broken window. the longer she stared the lighter the rain got until whiskey finally decided it was light enough that she wouldn't be immediately drenched. gracefully she leapt through the window and onto the muddy ground. she watched as her white front paws suddenly turned a shade of dark brown, now thickly coated in mud. turning her head from side to side she realized that no one was barking orders. oh well, surely fantasia would begin doing so soon. she was always barking something after all.

A low growl left the females jaw as she trudged through the mud, regretting leaving the camp early. Zahara had been awake for hours, never being one to be able to sleep through storms. She had became restless and the first chance she got once the rain ended she left the camp to find food for her packmates, really anything to occupy herself with since none of the pack was awake. She had gotten pretty far when the rain started up again, causing her to have to go back with her fur drenched and heavy. Closing one eye and pinning her ears back, the large female stopped and looked around for a moment as the rain pelted down on her. Zahara spotted a tree that had fallen on top of a large rock, creating a nook that she decided to squeeze herself into while the storm passed. Frustratedly, the female began to lick at her paws, pulling leaves and sticks among mud off in clumps. After a while the rain ceased and she hauled herself out of the shelter before quickening her pace back towards her home. By now Fantasia would be waking and Zahara’s foul mood would only worsen if her leader decided to snap at her. Shaking out her fur, Zara moved along quickly until she made it back to the yunkyard, squeezing her way through the entrance and padding over to a relatively dry patch to sit.

A splash of water landing on Ruca’s nose caused her to bolt upright and sneeze. Shaking her head around she blinked tiredly before standing and stretching out her legs. Poking her head out of her small den the female looked around, noticing only a few of her packmates had woken. With another yawn, Ruca slid out into the camp, lifting her nose to the air and smelling the damp scent of junk and fresh rain. She made her way across the camp to lay under a stack of desks, nodding to Whiskey and Zahara as she passed by. The curly female closed her eyes and listened to the silence that wouldn’t be for long. Their leader was bound to wake soon and begin throwing out orders left and right and Ruca relished in the peace while she could.

River had been laying down silently watching the clouds roll over, which was rare for him considering the young male was constantly up and ready to go. Just then a yawn itched it’s way out of his maw, reminding him of how little sleep he had gotten the night before. His dreams were full of terrors which was another rare thing for River, causing him to constantly roll and try to make himself comfortable. His warm brown eyes caught sight of his leader and his ears perked immediately, watching as Buck spoke. River was to his paws quickly, ready to follow his leaders orders. “I’d like to come, Buck.” He woofed, paws shifting on the damp earth impatiently. “That is, if I could come along.” He added quickly as his eyes met the leaders for a moment before he cast his gaze to the ground submissively.

‣ kei awoke, shaking her black pelt as some shedded hair fell off of her. she bowed own, stretching her back and forepaws. her jaw opened wide, displaying her impressive fangs as she yawned loudly. she stood up, kicking her legs a few times before looking for her alpha. "good morning, alpha." kei said as she approached him from behind. "yes, i was actually just about to go out on patrol. river, would you mind joining me?" she turned her head towards the younger border collie, perking her ears and swaying her tail in a friendly manner.

‣ genesis always wakes up earlier than the others to go on her walks. genesis was in a bad mood this morning. she didn't know why, maybe she had a bad dream that she didn't remember. either way, she walked a longer distance than she usually did today. her pelt was heavy, and she tried to ignore it but it eventually became uncomfortable. she shook her pelt and trotted over to a parked car and crawled underneath it, hoping to wait for the rain to calm down before she could head back to her pack. she gulped when she realized where she was, or rather where she wasn't. she walked much farther than she usually did, she was getting dangerously close to crimson territory. for her sake, she hoped the rain would ease before she their patrols would find her.

‣ rawhide loved the rain, he loved playing in water. he bounced around in a large puddle in the junkyard. rolling around in the water and creating large splashes with his paws. he giggled to himself as he accidentally splashed himself in the face.

‣ cadiz trotted through the streets, his paws soaking into the puddles on the sidewalk. cadiz carried a squirrel in his mouth, and cadiz hated how wet it felt in his mouth. cadiz wasn't the most talented fighter, but he was a gifted hunter. despite being a showdog, he was a naturally skilled hunting dog. cadiz rarely hunted for the other members of the pack, he felt they were all adults capable of feeding themselves. he was more than happy to give his meals to dogs that needed it, but he mostly hunted for himself. nowadays, he hunts for two now. he loves rawhide, he treats him like a younger brother. cadiz promised rawhide that he'd get him a squirrel today, as he finally became seven months of age. cadiz squeezed through the entrance, shaking the water off his pelt. he looked around, not seeing rawhide immedietly. he padded over to ruca, gently pawing at her to get her attention. "morning, ruca." he said softly. "have you seen rawhide?"

mercury sat in the rain watching the others bustle around with contentment. it was a quiet morning so far, and he did not mind one bit. fantasia was always much too strict and grumpy, so he was fine with her not ordering anyone around for a moment. of course, he never minded doing the duties that he had to do for his pack. he stayed well fed and healthy, as well as protected so he would do anything and everything to stay where he was. his dark gaze was drawn to the sound of splashing and he turned to see rawhide playing in a large puddle. he let out a small chuckle as the water hit him in the face. "you're lucky it's raining or you would be solid brown from all the mud," he called out in a loud voice. he loved the rain, believing that the only downfall to it was all the mud. that and the dark and gloomy weather that made him feel lonely and sad, even if he was surrounded by others.

obsidian blinked slowly, her almost solid black eyes focusing on her leader. she listened quietly to him speak with admiration. he was a very kind and intelligent dog, and she was glad that he led her and not fantasia. she had only ever encountered her once or twice, but it had been messy. she was just plain mean, and that was something that was not up for debate.just her cold stare alone sent shivers down obsidian's spine. she shuddered lightly, partially from the cold air and partially out of fear. though, she knew she was large and strong. not to mention she had protection from her pack. she nodded to show she was listening and waited her turn to speak. "i wouldn't mind going out either," she barked in a low voice. "that is, if you need me."
