Jamie walked with Daniel into the living room, not wanting to disturb Andy. She nodded along with what he said. She too had noticed the slow morning along with the quietness. I guess I should be happy with this. It's better than a huge commotion. The last thing Jamie wanted was to see Hudson and to get into a fight with him. With his condescending comments and snarky attitude she couldn't help but put him in his place. A faint smile appeared on her face at the mention of him possibly joining Jack and her on their trip to the lake. "That would be great. The offer is open to anyone and everyone, so you are more than welcome to come along." Having Daniel there would be nice, seeing as she didn't have the slightest idea how to entertain a 10 year old boy.

Allen | Psi sea lion | tags: open
Exploring the lake turned into sunning himself once the sun began to show itself more. While the bank around the lake wasn’t exactly toasty, the rays warmed Allen’s fur and soon he was drowsy again. With the way the weather was looking, others would likely be at the water later to swim or enjoy the surrounding woodlands. Hopefully, nobody would be aware of his sneaking out early and therefore not be after him to reprimand him and whatnot. For the time being, though, he sunbathed as only a sea lion could and daydreamed of warm coastal beaches.


Jeremiah | Gamma bear | tags: Hudson (mentioned)
The Tasmanian devil finished his meal-hunting before Jeremiah did, bounding off to the cabin, presumably. The Gamma stayed a while longer himself, foraging a small while longer before just enjoying the forest. He meandered back the way he came, becoming human again halfway down the trail. Now that food was taken care of, coffee sounded perfect. Hopefully the kitchen wasn’t overrun with a load of people yet.


Caitlyn | Rho giraffe | tags: Adeline, Selene
Adeline safely down, Caitlyn stood properly again and looked down to meet the gaze of the two people below. They both thanked her, and the relief was clearly written all over Selene. If a giraffe could smile, Caitlyn would have. Rather, she snorted good-naturedly and stepped a few paces away to stretch her legs and give the two some space to speak. Caitlyn was of course happy to help anyone out, especially one of the kids. It was the least she could do being what she was when she shifted. May as well put her size to good use.

Seated on one of the couches positioned in the living room of the pack house, Cailen sat on the edge of the cushion as she finished the last of her morning tea. The cabin was spacious enough to comfortably house the large group of shifters who had quickly become family. She supposed there was something about where their existence derived from that did something to help them bond. Though, that by all means didn't mean that everyone got along. She had often had to intervene in numerous disputes and fights between pack mates, personalities and viewpoints often clashed with others, but that was to be expected when such a large group was formed. The black haired beta tilted her head back and downed the last of her beverage before she rose and headed towards the kitchen to dispose of her mug. As she extended her arm out, her forearm seemed to come to life with a burning pain that stemmed from the crook of her elbow all the way to the tips of her fingers on her right hand. The mug fell from her hand to the counter with a loud crash, a chip flying from the cup onto the granite countertop. Cailen grit her teeth and her left hand gripped her arm just above the elbow, forced to wait the pain out. This wasn't the first time this had occurred. Ever since her escape from the lab, she'd been having these sharp pains that burned like hell and she'd no clue how to stop them or if it was even possible to. During her time in the lab, she had undergone extensive experiments to try and mould the ability that she now possessed, shadow manipulation, to her shifter form. She was the first shifter to successfully possess the ability to manipulate the darkness, something the scientists had found would make her both an asset and a weapon all in one. Cailen closed her eyes tightly, a frown creasing her brows as she pushed away the nightmares that came with any mention of the lab and shakily felt her body relax as the pain ebbed away, leaving her leant over the counter clutching her forearm with the chipped mug laying a couple inches from her on the counter.

Cold water cascaded from the mouth of the shower head and washed over Baylee's olive skin, washing away the grime that she'd picked up from her morning run. Though she was rather small in her shifter form, a pine marten after all and no larger than a house cat, she had a bountiful amount of energy that she needed to constantly blow off in a healthy, non-destructive way. So daily runs often helped keep the energetic pulse at bay. Her shower was short and much needed, refreshing and brightening the lambda to the point where she was ready for another run. Baylee quickly dried off and dressed, pulling on a pair of old cutoff shorts and a chocolate brown tank top with a v-neck scoop, before she jogged down the stairs towards the kitchen that her stomach had been yearning for since early that morning. Stepping through the entryway to the room, she noticed several of her pack mates gathered there, and offered a shy smile in greeting before grabbing a bowl of cereal and heading out to the back porch where she fell onto the swing to have at her morning meal. Bay was more on the shy side than the social when it came to that spectrum, and often kept to herself when others didn't approach her themselves for her company. Though that's not to say she never initiated any sort of conversation or interaction; she loved doing that she her docile and introverted stature often made that part difficult.

The sun was hot overhead and was merciless on the life below, including Jackal who was crouched down beside a large motorcycle with a rag draped over his bare shoulder and a wrench in one hand. The old Harley Davidson that he'd graciously borrowed from a biker at a gas station many miles from the house, had consumed most of his spare time since arriving at the cabin. Though Jackal hadn't the first clue about bikes and was mostly fiddling around with it out of curiosity and boredom. He didn't actually think he'd be able to get it up and running again after it broke down shortly after bringing him this far. Clanking of metal and bolts filled the yard in front of the garage where he'd been working for a few hours, his discarded and greasy shirt hanging off the handlebars of the motorcycle when the heat got to be to much for the amount of clothing he'd had on. I'll probably have to jump in the lake after this he thought to himself as he worked the wrench around a bolt to see what the outcome of removing it would be.

the blonde's response made him smile. it wasn't that he was expecting her to say 'no,' but dan was used to a moderate amount of disinterest when it came to his whereabouts. he was a kind and soft man, which was just how he wanted to be, but it made him a target to be taken advantage of or, at least, taken for granted. it was good to have someone be excited about him for once.
of course, the nu was aware that jamie was probably mostly excited to not be going to the late alone with a child, but he would take what he could get. and this was pretty good.
"of course!" he said with a gentle smile. "I will tell others the plan so that they can come if they want. it will be a good bonding experience for us I'm sure." it was always important to keep the pack close and connected. if they weren't tightly knit, something could fall through the cracks and cause harm. it was a dangerous world, and they needed to stay like the family they were. so, something like an outing to the lake was bound to be a good thing.

chris eventually decided to stop eavesdropping. the only thing even remotely interesting happening was whatever was going on between jennifer and aleksandr, and that seemed to be a little personal for his liking. so the meerkat rolled over and stretched out his legs. he was sad to be getting up, but the sun had warmed him quite well and he was more than ready to jump in the refreshing lake.
the pi took a running start off the dock, shifting into his human form at the last second to make a splash. he wasn't aware of the sea lion he would be splashing until it was too late.

melanie was still asleep, per usual. it wasn't like the girl to get up in a timely matter. it actually wasn't like her to get up in any matter at all, other than rolling out of bed. she liked the comfort that sleep brought. usually. unfortunately, this was not a particularly restful sleep. she was sweating and breathing heavily as a nightmare took over her mind. images flashed behind her eyelids causing her to toss and turn uncontrollably.
one particularly gut-wrenching image sent her flying up into a sitting position. she sat there, wide awake and breathing heavily for a few moments, catching her breath. once she reoriented herself, the omega stood up slowly and began to get dressed. there was no point in attempting to go back to sleep now. she threw on a pair of grey sweatpants with red and black stripes up the side and a matching, long-sleeved crop top. she then washed her face, brushed her teeth, and made her way into the kitchen.
thats when she saw cailen. the way the woman was bent over the counter in pain took mel by surprise. it wasn't very often that she say the beta like this. even though she knew she shouldn't really interact with such a high-ranking, important pack member, she couldn't help herself. she moved closer, placing one hand gently on the brunette's back.
"are you alright?" she asked.

Beatrix leaned back, letting out a lengthy sigh, full of hope. "Let's hope a lot of others agree. Autumn is bad enough, I can't imagine spending winter in a place like this. We'll be wading through feet of snow, some of us, specifically me, might even freeze to death! Treating for frostbite isn't easy, either. Though, I should definitely ask Jamie and see if she can use her powers to make it warm, even if just for a minute." She paused, scanning their surroundings. "Complaints aside- I will say that it's gorgeous here. All of the red, orange, yelllow, and brown leaves make a really nice scene. Especially with the view of the mountains in the horizon. I'm happy that at least we get to observe nature, now that we're, for the most part, free." She found herself surprised with how much she was talking, a little embarrassed, even. Angelica was just the type of person she felt comfortable with just rambling around, sensing minimal judgment on her end.

Jace saw a snow leopard strolling down the path ahead of him, but assumed it was one of his packmates, as it wasn't acting skittish or anything like that. Sure enough, once they were closer together, the snow leopard turned into the form of Lydnsay. A gentle smile formed on Jace's lips, politely dipping his head to the eta. "Good morning, Lyndsay. I'm afraid I have nothing all that exciting to report, but the walk has been relaxing nonetheless." He replied with a soft chuckle, noticing the look on her face that just screamed of boredom. He couldn't blame her, things had been serene, but that serenity just doesn't sit well with everyone. Lyndsay was probably one of those people. "Are you bored? If so, you could join me. A walk is almost always better with company. Plus, I'm sure we can find something to do around here, even in the mountains."

When Adeline explained that she was okay, she felt even more relieved. She opened her mouth to begin her lecture, but just then, the little girl looked close to tears and began apologizing, hugging her tightly. It looks like the girl's experience with this was enough of a lesson, but still, she felt the need to go on. "There's a reason why phis are supposed to stay with you at all times. It's so we can keep you safe. You could've been seriously hurt if you fell, and it could've been a long time before someone came to help you. I know it's no fun, waiting around for an adult, but it's incredibly important that I remain with you when you leave the cabin. Remember, if you're bored and I'm still asleep, don't be afraid to wake me up. I'd rather be woken up than finding you in a scary situation. Understand?" She kept her voice steady and gentle through the whole explanation, but her gaze was stern as she looked at Adeline, just to show that she meant what she was saying.

angie sat and listened as the brunette spoke. she enjoyed the sound of her voice and the ease with which her words flowed. she smiled when jamie was mentioned, glad her idea hadn't been too stupid.
when the iota brought up the the leaves, the blonde took a moment to glance around at their surroundings. it really was beautiful, oranges, reds, and yellows painting the horizon. it was like the whole world was on fire. she has a soft grin on her face when she looked back at the other woman. beatrix was right. they were free, in pretty much every sense of the word. and for most of them, angelica included, this had not always been the case. she often found herself dwelling on the times that she was not free, her identical memory like a curse, trapping her in her own memories. but sitting next to bea, she didn't feel the need to remember those times. she was just grateful for this moment, right now. in her head, she repeated her motto to herself as a reminder, 'why live in the past, when you can live in the present'
"it is beautiful..." the sigma said finally, even though she was no longer looking at the trees. her eyes were fixed on the woman next to her. "being free is such an amazing feeling. its hard to believe there was a time when I didnt know what that feeling was, or if I would ever feel it. I am thankful... but I think I would be even more thankful if we were someplace warmer," she ended with a playful tone, nudging the brunette lightly. she was glad to have someone to talk to. despite their large pack size, it could get kinda lonely every so often. and if she was really honest, she was glad it was beatrix in particular. she found the fellow shifter intriguing and a pleasure to be around.
after talking about how beautiful their surroundings were, she felt the urge to appreciate them a little more. "would you like to join me on a walk?" angie questioned, trying (and failing) not to sound as hopeful as she was. "it might warm you up."

a tear began to trickle down the little girl's cheek, followed by another... and another. soon she was fully crying. she couldn't bear to look at selene while she scolded her, so she just stared down at her feet and watched her tears fall to the ground.
the psi finished with a stern 'understand?' adeline immediately responded with a large, quick series of nods. she knew what she had done was wrong and she was sorry for doing it. although, she was even more sorry for getting caught. she hated getting scolded.
“I'm sorry,” the little girl repeated again for emphasis, though she was hardly understandable through her sobs. “I'll wake you up next time.” and she really did mean it... but kids are prone to disobedience and making the same mistakes over and over again.

Vyn had, in her normal fashion, stayed up for more than half the night. She had fallen asleep sometime after three, and rolled out of bed late. She managed to wash up and get dressed, a loose white tank top and jeans, before groggily heading down to the kitchen. The only thing worse than her sleeping habits were her eating habits; she ate like, well, a bird. However she wasn't in the mood to be picky, and snagged some toast before heading out to sit outside to eat. It was typically quieter, and she didn't have to worry about being bothered by anyone. That was her hope, anyways, as she was far too tired to operate a coffee maker and not awake enough to be civil yet. The sleep she had gotten had been dream-riddled, as usual, and if anything it exhausted her more than if she had just stayed up. Brushing her hands off on her jeans she took a moment to braid her hair back before looking around a bit. She liked it here. The climate was good, and they were isolated. She did enjoy venturing to the town, and thought a day trip was well overdue, but she preferred flying and knew it wasn't wise to go it alone.

She swoops down to greet the new face. “Hi!” She squaked. “What’s your name?” She cringes at how raspy her voice sounds so she shifts into human form. That always hurts a little bit for her, but it’s worth it. She fixes her hair and smiles. ‘Huh. Must be a Tasmanian devil.’ She thinks to herself. She’s always adored that species. If she could choose hers she’d be one of those, a skunk, or a snake. Speaking of snakes, Gucci pops his head out of her clothing. “Hi bb” she says to him, even though he can barely understand right now. She doesn’t know why she asked his name and waited for a response, as Mouse always loved to freak strangers out by calling them by their first name before they said it. “Wait. Let me guess- is your name Hudson?”

Allen | Psi sea lion | tags: Christian
Water wasn’t bothersome for Allen. The water was fine, but being surprised by a splash and the feeling of water hitting his fur sent Allen’s sea lion instincts into high alert. A sort of alarmed bark escaped him as he jumped up, unfortunately being unchecked in volume. The sonic voice the Psi possessed sent the animal sound bouncing about the woods with glaring loudness. No doubt the entire cabin would probably have heard that. The closest tree was stripped of most of its leaves while the nearby bird population sent shrieks into the air as they took wing.
Allen, now awake and taking in the surroundings, looked in the direction of Christian and proceeded to bark at a normal volume with mock anger. Really, he didn’t mind. If anything, he thought it was funny. But he would likely be chewed out by a higher up for causing so much noise.


Caitlyn | Rho giraffe | tags: Selene (mentioned), Adeline (mentioned), open
Dodging the tree limbs that were eye level, Caitlyn loped along aimlessly and admired the scenery. Her long, knobby legs carried her about and gratefully took the opportunity to stretch. Being human wasn’t so bad, but after a taste of being this other being, the Rho always loved to experience things from a different perspective — literally. Her coffee mug forgotten on the sidewalk in favor of the fresh air, she left Adeline and Selene to talk and walked into the trees where her spots stood out against the darker trunks. The only worry in her mind was the amount of handsoap in the cabin and why loud sound had come from the lake’s direction.


Jeremiah | Gamma bear | tags: Cailen, Melanie
The Gamma went to his shared room first, taking off his shoes and putting them by his bed where they weren’t in the way. Next, he found clothes to wear about that weren’t his pajamas and changed, satisfied with the switch. Then for the important item of business: the morning coffee.
Moving to the kitchen, Jeremiah was met with two others already in there. The Beta, Cailen, was leaning on the counter and Melanie had a hand on the other’s shoulder. Coffee may have to wait. The Gamma drew closer and raised a brow at the females, trying to gauge if the issue was something he could help with.

chris was underwater when the loud bark occurred, but he could most definitely still hear it; his enhanced hearing was not even necessary. if he had been above water, as a matter of fact, he might have burst an eardrum.
he lifted his head from underwater carefully, covering his ears. he opened his eyes to the sight of a yapping sea lion and smiled. allen he thought to himself with a little smile. he removed his hands from his ears and began to swim to shore. the sight of the seemingly angry, sea mammal was actually kind of funny, and the pi couldn't help the laugh that began to slip through his lips.
"hey al! sorry about the scare" he called, apologetic but still laughing. he was just loud enough for the other shifter to hear, but not so loud as to cause any more of a ruckus than he already had.
