♛ ＥＲＥＢＵＳ !!
↳ imperator • brute • bully kutta • tags; leaders (nike and daemon)
After listening to what Daemon had to say with a impassive expression, Erebus opened his jaws to reply. “The Imperium lives far away from here, deep in the northern mountains. All the dogs my Imperium are taught to be just as brutal as our lands, if not more.” The travel from the mountains was admittedly long, though the old train that ran through the abandoned town just south of the eastern border had aided them along their travels. Once Nike spoke, Erebus shrugged as he looked out onto the crowd. “Only if you wish, Nike.” He said calmly, smiling briefly at her. He turned his attention back onto Daemon. “Where is your pack? You seemed to have come with no dogs alongside you.”

♛ ＤＡＥＤＡＬＵＳ !!
↳ high bishop & consort • brute • ibizan hound • tags; perseus
Daedalus pricked his ears as he listened intently. He nodded his head as Perseus explained, and once he mentioned being high priest he chimed in. “We have similar ranks, I speak with the gods on occasion too, though not as often as your Demi-god, it sounds like.” He listened to Perseus’ explanation of being a “Demi-god” in his pack, even how Alcides was destined for greatness. “That sounds like a lot of pressure to bear. Dae exclaimed. “Mount Olympus seems to be very connected and faithful to their gods, it is admirable.”

Corvus nodded his head in agreement, “It certainly different…” He murmured. He glanced over at his packmates, some standing alone like the pitbull had been while other conversed with strangers. As Pippa asked about how life was back at home, he waited a moment to think. He knew not to disclose too much information, so kept it simple. “Well it’s a lot colder,” He said with a small chuckle. “And certainly not as relaxed.” He continued, half to himself. It was a change, the gathering, not like the regular day in the Imperium. Always training, fighting, competing. Here it seemed a whole lot different. “What about you?”

Nymeria’s tail thumped on the snowy ground as Chase perked up at the mention of friendship. She listened to him explain how the cadets in his kennel were all too young or busy. She let out a soft bark of sympathy, nodding her head in understanding. "I feel the same way about my fellow tiros sometimes too. They’re all either to busy trying to become fully fledged members or too young!” He mentioned a dog named Tundra, and she smiled. “I hope one day I get to meet her, she sounds like a nice dog!”

Queen Victoria
xxx↠ Queen | 42 m. | ♀ | Husky | Heterosexual | Tagged: Daimanus of Vehementi


Queen Victoria's paws lightly touched the snow-dusted ground as she led her kingdom's finest across the way to the gathering of dogs. Her regal head held high and her ice blue eyes filled with high handed indifference. She hated making the trek from her homelands to this stinky, peasant garbage mound, but it was required in order to show the lesser kennels the Ivory's might. The dogs that came thought it was fun, but she had seen better.

The flakes fell lightly through the air, making it seem as if the world had a white filter on it. She could see how the flurry could be frightening to other dogs, but it was nothing to her. She couldn't even feel it with her thick coat, which had evolved for generations to be impervious to the cold.

The sound of chatting dogs came closer and closer as the silent group marched along, breaths crystalizing in the frosty air. A dark alley was their choice of entry, leading into the softly lit junk yard. Dozens of dogs gathered close to each other, while many just watched. A few dogs chatted at the top of one heap, a few taking charge while others were ignored. Victoria assumed they were the leaders (because 98% of assumptions are correct).. I uhhh Idk what to write.... Ima just ramble 'cause I want to get a post up.

She scanned the crowd before her looking for a likely candidate. A doberman sitting near her looked likely. She walked up to the brute, "Take me to your leader"

King Alaric
xxx↠ King | 44 m. | ♂ | Husky | Heterosexual | Tagged: Seth of the Salvation


King Alaric followed closely behind his queen, wanting to make sure she didn't get into trouble, well any more than she usually did. It was sure hard to keep her from offending this or that dog, as she really had no care for the other dog's feelings. It was going to be especially important not to do so because gathering were vital to the kingdom, being a way to gain allies.
A pretty husky soon caught his eye as he trailed the queen, making him stop sharply to take a second look. The attractive female lazily moved her tail from side to side, showing off her long fur. He looked back to find Victoria, but didn't see her. Oh well, thought, one gathering of her on the loose couldn't hurt, could it? Besides, the fetching fae does look a little lonely.. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, the holding his head high and puffing out his chest, sauntered over to the waiting husky.

Melody dove right away into the atmosphere of the gathering, looking for the dane from the last one. She hoped to get to finish their conversation as it had been so abruptly ended.

Attending: Osiris, Blaze, Trance, Dolly
Allies: None, Open!
Enemies: none yet
Borders: Open!
Forbidden Romances: Would Consider
Borders: Open!

★ Osiris → Alpha, ♂, Merle Border Collie
tagged open
Osiris had been somewhat wary during this gathering, not yet offering any words to the other leaders. He saw a tense situation seem to break out between a bullmastiff and several of the other leaders, but he did not draw close enough to determine what was happening. He didn't want any problems - his pack could desperately use allies and until they had some, he was going to do his very best to avoid making any enemies. Best to step carefully, for now. He watched quietly, gaze fixed on the shepherd female and the bully kutta as he observed them from the edge of the group. Whatever was going on, those dogs seemed to be involved as well, though the female had turned aside. Osiris nervously glances around to see if anyone has noticed him watching, and decides to try and make himself busy with other matters. He sees a female husky and is briefly reminded of Zuli, waiting for him back at home.


★ Blaze → Beta, ♂, Red + White Husky
tagged Sol
Blaze gives his new acquaintance a wide grin. "It's going well, I'd say. This weather really is something," he adds. Blaze's thick fur is fluffed up around him, making him look even larger than he actually is. He shakes off to help himself settle down from all of the excitement. Up until that point his fur had been standing on end, although his generally friendly demeanor had been enough to offset the over-hyped look.

"Don't you just love watching them," Blaze asks suddenly, his eyes taking in the site of the entire encampment. "You get the packs out here and they're all like tenderpaws again: some of them just want to compete for that top spot and everybody else is doing their best to make friends." Blaze didn't have words, exactly, for how he viewed his packmates but he felt almost like an older uncle, watching over all of them while still feeling like the responsible party.

★ Trance → Medicine Dog, ♂, Chow Chow
tagged open


★ Dolly→ Irontooth, ♀, Cattle-Dog
tagged Techne
Dolly had initially been a bit surprised when she was approached by a random dog, rather than the dog she had intended to attract. Imagine her surprise when it turns out that the dalmation approaching her was actually a female! When the other dog introduced herself, suddenly Dolly understood her to be a friend of the male she had been flirting with. Dolly tilted her head to the side as she listened to Andromache's description of her friend, who was apparently named Techne. I like the sound of that, Dolly thinks to herself as his name runs through her mind again and again. The other dog has steered the conversation full-circle and the little cattledog gets a chance to get a word in.

Suddenly Techne catches up to the girls and introduces himself, and Dolly finds that she quite likes the sound of his voice. She wants to continue talking to him, just so she can hear its tone again. "My name is Dolly," she said, by way of introduction. "I'm really glad Andromache found me actually, since you weren't far behind." Dolly is pleased that these other two dogs are so friendly with her. This is nothing like the rivalry between her and Zuli and in fact she is feeling that this difference of packs is somehow freeing. These dogs have no squabble with one another for rank or resources - and she rather likes that element of separation. It simplifies everything. Dolly smiles at her new friends. "You know, in my pack we recently just found a single pupmother? Imagine that. Poor dear. We're letting her join as a full member, and I imagine I'll get to be an Auntie, once the little ones arrive!" She doesn't have much to share in the way of news but offers this small tidbit of gossip.

Nike~General (Alpha)~Female~Tags: Erebus, Osiris, Alphas

Nike saw a nervous looking dog at the corner of the Alpha group. She dipped her head and excused herself, telling Erebus that she would talk to him later if they had the time, and wandered up to the male. "Hey there." She greeted, a friendly smile on her face "My name's Nike, what's yours?"

Hayes~Hunting Sargent~Male~Tags: Proteus

Hayes shrugged, smiling at the dog's awe. "I dunno." He admitted "None of our dogs have ever been bitten, so we don't know how poisonous they were. No one has died of eating one, though, so..." He sighed as he heard the dog's question. "Well, I had been on my journey for quite a few moons. I'm from Australia, a land far away, and jumped on a two-leg boat that carried me to my kennel's territory. Well, not the territory itself, since we don't live by water, but it was only a few days' walk before I bumped into Nike. She was really kind and allowed me to stay with her group these past few moons." He looked up at Nike, amiling even though she was talking to a well-muscled brute. His heart ached for a second, worried that she was in trouble, but he relaxed after seeing her laugh. He shook himself and looked back to Proteus. "You mentioned you had a past name." He recalled "Does every dog who joins your kennel get a new identity?"

Chase~Cadet (Apprentice)~Male~Tags: Nymeria

Chase tilted his head. "I think she wants to come next time. I'll make sure to put in a request. Hopefully you come next time too! I enjoy talking with you." He looked away sheepishly and licked his lips, staring at his paws.

★ duvahl, the godfather / brute / belgian shepherd

he walks as though he has an air of childlike awe about him. those he passes by can tell that there's something peculiar about this large brute, but almost none can place it. nobody's seen him before; that much is known for certain.
duvahl wanders about the junkyard grounds for a moment, taking in the sights of all these strange dogs together. oh, it has a certain lightheartedness akin to that of carnival! ...just with less bloodshed and brutality. nevertheless, duvahl finds himself captivated by the new territory. so much to explore! oh, wouldn't the folks back home love this? he grins - speaking of the others, they'd be arriving soon. splendid! a perfect time to make allies and perhaps enlighten those lost with the wisdom of the all-mother!
the excited brute spots a group of dogs who hold themselves with a sort of regal pride. ah, so these are the fellow leaders? duvahl smiles and makes his way over to the group, striding with confidence. he settles down beside a german shepherd, beaming at the rest of the leaders. "greetings, fellow alphas," he chirps pleasantly, curling his tail over his paws. "i'm elated to be in the presence of such thriving kennels!"

Nike watched as a handsome shepherd settled himself beside her. Her eyes widened and she cleared her throat. “Hi.” She stammered. She shifted her feet and smiled nervously at him. She shook herself mentally and blinked a few times before controlling herself. “You don’t look familiar, I don’t think we’ve met.” She noticed “My name’s Nike.”

♛ ＥＲＥＢＵＳ !!
↳ imperator • brute • bully kutta • tags; leaders (daemon)
As Nike dismissed herself with a quick word of farewell, Erebus bowed his head and gave her a polite smile, saying a quick word before watching the fae trot off to say hello to others. His attention was reverted quickly back to Daemon, who had felt the need to explain why his kennel numbers were so little. Erebus blinked with a mild surprise, though that was the only thing that told the other dog of his emotion. “The faith that your kennel will succeed is often reflective of the ambition a leader holds.” Erebus commented approvingly.

As he sat alone atop a large piece of metal, the harlequin great dane noticed a familiar figure walking about, seeming to be looking for someone. His brown eyes focused on her, and as she neared the massive brute let out a low bark to catch her attention. “Ah, yes,” He began in greeting. “You, from the last gathering.”

♛ ＤＡＩＭＡＮＵＳ !!

Daimanus turned his head as he watched a dog approach him from where he sat, alone and wearing a dark expression. He titled his muzzle down, cocking a brow with a disapproving nature. As she spoke, the doberman snorted. “And why would I do that?” He asked ungraciously.

Nymeria dipped her head bashfully as she blushed after Chase had said he enjoyed talking with her. “I do too, and I hope that one day you can meet my friends back in the Imperium too!” She said, thinking about the rare chance that Nymeria and her friends and Chase and his friend would one day meet altogether at the gathering. Smiling, she looked at the alphas. “I can’t imagine how it is being a leader, it must be insane!” Nymeria remarked, turning her head to look at Chase for a moment.

duvahl glances over at the fae beside him, beaming happily as he greets the alpha. "it is an honor to meet you, nike!" he replies smoothly, as if either not noticing or not acknowledging her stammering. he blinks a couple of times before giving a hearty laugh and smiling towards the group. "deary me," he coos, "i almost forgot to introduce myself! i am the godfather duvahl, of the eldritch society. we may be small in numbers, but we shall rise together to spread the all-mother's good word!" he pauses and, with a contented sigh, murmurs, "i must apologize - you see, there's nothing that quite compares to a festival of this size!" his eyes sparkle incredulously. "it's almost as wonderful as carnival..."

As Blaze spoke about the weather, he eyed his new acquaintance's fur. It looked thick enough to withstand a whole blizzard! In a way he was jealous but he knew his own coat would get used to it. "Hmm..." Sol thought aloud, taking in what he said. He looked around the area and spotted a few of his kennelmates. "That's one way to look at it, yes," he finally replied, turning back towards Blaze. "We're all pups at heart I suppose." He gave a smile. "Are you close with your kennel, then?" he asked him.

Ilia - Shaman - Female - Tagged: Kara
"Ah, yes! Although here it's called a shaman," she nodded. Her nerves seemed to settle a little and she made yourself comfortable. She gave a slight giggle. "It's funny how other kennels have different names for the same thing. I don't know much about other kennels. Or even if they existed in the first place!" she said, her voice a little louder than before. "Haha, that's a little childish now that I think about it."

Obviously there wasn't much to hide but there wasn't much to tell either. "If I were to describe it... It would be like one big family. We all get along. ...For the most part anyway," she said, giving a side glance to her kennelmate, Bella. "We don't argue very much though. Well, maybe when someone takes the prey that you wanted, haha!" She laughed and turned back with a smile."I'm just joking~."
