Wolf Mountain [Semi lit] -OPEN-

Mira & Chance

Anxiety had her in it's clutches within seconds of the old alpha's suggestion, enough to usually find her in a right state. Usually she'd be pacing with swift strides, spinning on dimes, mumbling to herself, and whining in distinctly inhuman tones at her far too amused companion. Had she respected the old wolf any less, that would be the case this time as well, dismissing his presence entirely in order to sate the panicked energy bubbling beneath the surface. But no, arms wrapped around herself as though to ward off the scorn and biting words she'd come to expect, back ramrod straight and frame filled taunt with tension, wide brown eyes stared into the elder's obsidian even as her distress mounted and the beasts within violently protested the thought of willingly submitting to the harsh torment of her peers. Fighting back the flood of panic threatening to drown her, it was with a mournfully well practiced ease she focused on the positives to help soothe the instinctive scream.

If she met the pack, then perhaps she could lend a hand here and there as thanks for putting up with her during the moon. She would get to spend time with other wolves, perhaps even some as kind as the optimistic elder before her. Though optimistic might be putting it mildly, since she really rather doubted it would be 'a good fit'. Perhaps as a scapegoat, but in that case she'd really rather keep traveling. There really wasn't much she could think of, and a greater fear outweighed the positives she could manage to scrape up. The need to bolt had faded, though not vanished, so she was content to move on and address the largest source of her hesitance.

"You don't think I'd wear out my welcome before the moon?" Giving voice to her greatest concern, she absently bit at her lower lip in nervous habit, a hand reaching down to scratch at her companion's ears.

Grace looked thoughtful. "I dont know. We havent been around many like us since mama and daddy were killed. Thats why we try to keep Ari safe because we dont know how they would react." she said with a sigh then shook her dark head.
Ari wrinkled her nose then laughed again "it wouldnt have been so bad but the biggest of the dogs always wanted to sleep with me. It smelled so bad that I couldnt help but open the windows in the winter time." she said with a laugh.
Talon shook his head," normally they arent too bad but the orange and lemon juice mixed with lavender helps a little. I'll try adding garlic oil to everything maybe it will help." he said with a smirk. That earned him a swat upside the back of his head from his older sister.

Thanks---

Rayne snorted in disbelief at his first statement only to do it again at his second. "You really think he would accept me? A lone she-wolf who dared to threaten him. Lowly likely." Rayne's white head shifted a bare fraction of an inch as she stared at him for a moment. "Their your pack. Just because you weren't born into it doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace them."

Von did not sneer or growl at her responses as others might. "He would accept you." He told her simply. "He was simply annoyed before hand." He added as he rolled his shoulders. "I have no desire to call them my own. Just as you have your secrets, I have min." He told her simply. Von told no one of his birth pack. not where they were from or anything else. Though his accent told them that they would have been from some part of Romania.

Triko smiled lightly and shook his head. "No, I do not believe so at all." He said reassuringly. The old wolf knew the pack well. He knew who the troublemakers were, who saute rivalry with Novak and Alec. He knew the inner workings of the pack and the town. He also knew the secrets the pack kept. He was sure that there would be no problem with the young woman staying with them.

Mika nodded as each spoke. "Well, despite having no actual proof, I know there are a few wolves in town. Oliver reacts to them just as he would to other predators or threats." She told them. "That's why I left him with Lucy. One entered her shop just before I left. Since I don't know how the ones around here will react to people knowing. I didn't want to take a chance of him hurting her. You know?" She said quietly. She looked to Ari with a smile. "Sounds terrible. Luckily I have remedy for skunk." She said before nodding to Talon. "That might work, though just eating small clove every couple weeks should do it." She told him before looking back to Grace with a slight smirk.

[By the way, the actual Thunder moon is July the first of this year. The creepy thing is that there actually is a blue moon this month so it would be a blue thunder moon. I honestly did not now that when I incorporated it into the Roleplay.]

Grace nodded thoughtfully "I hate to think how he would react to Talon and I. We have spent so much time hiding our scent from other wolves that I dont know if it would be an easy thing to easily quit doing that."
Ari looked at her siblings for a moment then said softly "I think I am the only human I know of that can smell my brother and sister and I love their scent. Its kind of earthy with a mix of mint and sandalwood." At the shocked look she got from Talon she looked at Grace and Mika "Is there something wrong with me? Did I at least get a part of mom and dad?" she asked with a tearful look in her eyes.
Talon looked at Ari then said "How long have you been able to do this? And why didnt you tell us?"

((Oh my... That's rather neat~! It is quite an unusual coincidence though- perhaps you're a bit of a seer? ))

Mira & Chance

She peered into those seemingly ageless onyx pools, searching for even the slightest of uncertainties, mildest of malicious intent, anything which might give her a solid reason to refuse, to brace herself for another round of mocking and jeering and being ready to grovel at the slightest show of displeasure. But there was nothing. Nothing but kind compassion and honest confidence. There was nothing to fuel her fears, but something daring her to hope, to take that leap of faith despite falling short so many times before. It was both terrifying and enticing, finding her faltering as old defenses crumbled. It didn't stop the tension in her lithe frame, despite dispelling some of her worries. It didn't keep her mind from leaping back to past experiences in an attempt to warn her away. It didn't stop her from feeling a nearly crushing sense of trepidation as her resolve crumbled and she screwed her courage to the sticking place with shaking hands.

"I suppose... I'll defer to your judgment on this, then..." Swallowing thickly, chewing on her lip, a phantasmal tail curled around in sparse comfort even as the beasts inside were sharply quelled. By more than just her kitsune blood, her word was her bond and now there was no turning back.

Oh man, I've been gone for so long. I'm sooooo sorry D;

Working at this summer camp has me more tired and busy than I thought I would be ;-;

Possibly a recap, maybe just some detail about what has happened?))

[Bayfire213]

((Let's see here, your last post was on page 21, with the response on 22. I don't believe much has happened aside from various people chatting, and since cypher hasn't done anything more with Alec since your last post, I'd presume you could pick up there.))

Replies might be a little slow. I'm working at a summer camp and time off is rare ;p Just reposting this by the way, until I get back on break~ ))


Eris Lane/Werewolf/Tags; Alec

Hearing Alec's return howl, she started in the direction of his cabin. She really didn't mind who she hung out with, as long as she wasn't bored. Eris was the type of person who easily got agitated and bored. A little company might do her some good. Her paws landed softly on the forest floor with every step she took. As the beta, Alec always welcomed his pack mates to his cabin. Although, Eris was more curious with what he did with the intruder. She was always quick to jump to conclusions, and probably wouldn't of handled the situation better than Alec. And it was a bit annoying that Von questioned his leadership. There was a reason Alec was picked as the beta.

Alec - Beta - 21

Cautiously, Alec surveyed his surroundings before transforming back into his human form. Quietly yawning as he walked onto his front porch and collapsed in the old, wooden rocking chair in the corner. Resting his elbow on one of the arm rests before he rested his hand in his hand and closed his eyes for a few moments. Breathing in as he focused on his other senses. Listening for anyone approaching, possibly smelling them in the wind as they approached. His cabin was, similar to a few residents, outside of town. The only road that led towards his place was dirt and a thick array of bushes and trees surrounded his back garden from any prying eyes that happened to come in off the woods. Anyone who approached him now could probably assume that he was asleep, instead he was simply calming down and analysing the previous situation with the intruder. What could he have done better? Improve upon? Maybe he needed to see Kain and check if his fighting skills were intact.

[[ imagine if alec and mika were distanced neighbors o.o haha ]]

And more talking since then, but nothing really monumental has occurred. It's been rather slow around here...

Mikael listened to the three before turning her attention to Ari. She dismissed the other two's surprise. "You have always been with them. You know their sent probably better than they do themselves. It happens." She told her with a smile. "I am the same when it comes to Oliver. I know rather or not it is him or something else. Though I don't think most humans can do that." She added. Mika looked at the clock on the kitchen wall and gave a slight sigh. "I am sorry to be rude guys, but i have to go meet up with Lucy." She told them as she stood. "Thanks for dinner Grace. It was great. If you guys want to leave the dishes to soak, I'll do them when I get back." She offered before taking her plate to the sink and rinsing it before heading to the door. She subconsciously glanced to the door leading to the basement to make sure she had locked it.

Triko nodded to the young fox. "I'll hold you to that." he told her with a soft smile. "Now, I'm about to close up for the night. Would the two of you like to join me for Dinner?" He asked them simply. It was not uncommon for the old wolf to have a drifter around him, more so when he went to the diner to get a meal. He did not mind helping others out. Most knew that if they came through the village or took the mountain path they would be fine. It was those who cut through the forest and mountains themselves who were often caught.
