- Vimala Misra - 08-23-2011 [html] whoa silver’s back! different character but I missed you guys ;_; Word Count → 310 Night had fallen over the land, but this did not stop Vimala from continuing on her trek. Perhaps it had been some sort of fate; she had yet to find another pack even after her months of traveling. The woman had reached a mountain range and travelled parallel to it for a while, unsure of the difficulty of crossing the peaks. But just as she was beginning to consider taking such a journey, a scent came to her nose; or rather, a group of scents. There were others here.

Welcome back to 'Souls, we've missed you! Its great to have you back and joining Ichika! Night had fallen swiftly over New Glasgow, plunging the lands into darkness. It was one of the first signs that the season was changing and within a few short weeks, autumn really would be upon them. They'd celebrated the harvest festival on the very first day of August although the harvest months didnt start until the first of september. Regardless, the night had been a fun filled, high paced evening that Saul couldnt help smile about. Of course, the only other thing bugging the male was the fact that Siku had gone. It had been such a long time since she'd surfaced, even with the two of them sharing an apartment, that Saul had to admit he'd given up on her. It made him sad, but there was also an undertone of relief mixed in there and he had no idea why. word count → 000 ;; image © Fir0002/Flagstaffotos ;; table by lin .saul-owlooc {font-style:italic; color:#000000;} .saul-owlcred {font-style:italic; color:#000000; text-align:right; font-size:9px;} .saul-owl p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-owl b {color:#D1C2B9; text-shadow: 0.0em 0.0em 0.1em #5C4633; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .saul-owl {font-family: georgia; font-size:12px; color:#5C4633; letter-spacing:.2px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:15px; text-align: justify; margin:0px auto; margin:5px auto; width:450px;} .saul-owlinner{background-color:#9D7C5E; background-image:url(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g210/ ... aulbot.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 150px 0px; width:450px; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Vimala Misra - 08-23-2011 [html] Word Count → 260 The female waited in silence, hands still clutching her bag and brownish-gold eyes searching for any signs of movement. She thought back to the night she left, realizing that her wish to live on her own could be fulfilled on this very night. A pang of guilt struck her as she recalled her father's warning, which she had directly disobeyed. She wasn't the only one to have "escaped" the traveling life, he had said, but the last wolf to do so was cursed by the pack's spiritual leader. Or so her father said. Vimala didn't know if that was just a story told to frighten children into good behavior, or if there was really something to it. She did not have much time to consider this, however, as her call was soon answered. Her eyes fell upon an approaching wolf, a male, on all fours. For a moment she wondered if she had stumbled upon the territory of non-Luperci, but judging by the stranger's lack of reaction to her two-legged form, Vimala was able to put that worry out of her mind. She was greeted with a small bow of the head, which she returned out of courtesy before listening to the unfamiliar wolf speak. "Hello Saul Stormbringer," she replied in her soft tone. "I am Vimala Misra. I have traveled the lands in search of a packland to call home." The pack member's friendly behavior relaxed her, and she was able to stop fiddling with the straps of her bag, slinging it over her shoulder into its usual position.

Saul was a friendly wolf in general and there was always a happy, smiling face to welcome anyone wanting to do business with Ichika. His tail swung gently back and forward as he came to a stop, noting her two legged stance instead of four. He concentrated for a moment, feeling his bones shifting growing and settling into a new position. When he opened his eyes he was considerably taller, taller than the female in front of him. She began to speak in return to his words and Saul smiled gently. She had a soft and pleasing voice, one that would suit Ichika very well indeed. Settled on the fact that she was here to join and not to trade, Saul shifted his thought processes onto a whole new thought track. word count → 000 ;; image © Fir0002/Flagstaffotos ;; table by lin .saul-owlooc {font-style:italic; color:#000000;} .saul-owlcred {font-style:italic; color:#000000; text-align:right; font-size:9px;} .saul-owl p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-owl b {color:#D1C2B9; text-shadow: 0.0em 0.0em 0.1em #5C4633; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .saul-owl {font-family: georgia; font-size:12px; color:#5C4633; letter-spacing:.2px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:15px; text-align: justify; margin:0px auto; margin:5px auto; width:450px;} .saul-owlinner{background-color:#9D7C5E; background-image:url(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g210/ ... aulbot.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 150px 0px; width:450px; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Vimala Misra - 08-23-2011 [html] herpaderp Word Count → 332 Vimala had considered shifting to her four-legged form upon seeing that Saul was in such a state, but before she could do so, the Ichikan himself shifted, so that she would now have to look up to see his face. She refrained from that, though; she knew to be submissive to strangers no matter how friendly they seemed. It struck her that this was the first time in quite a while that she had even seen an unfamiliar wolf.

- Saul Stormbringer - 08-26-2011 [html] gah! im so sorry silver, my internets been down and ive been trying to sort uni stuff out! sorrryyyyy Her soft nod was almost lost- she was smaller than he was and he almost didnt look down in time. He'd adopted a certain manner about him in these kinds of situations, a certain polite but brisk manner that got these small interveiws over and done with quickly. Green eyes were pleased as Vimala assured him that she had not committed any crime. It was always good to have ones first initial thoughts confirmed- he would have been very shocked if the little female in front of him had confessed to some kind of aweful crime. By the looks of her she wasnt that kind of wolf, but one could never be so sure. "I am glad to hear it" He murmered, dipping his head softly as if to accept this information. Paws twisted together, unsure of what to do until her rich voice came once more. word count → 000 ;; image © Fir0002/Flagstaffotos ;; table by lin .saul-owlooc {font-style:italic; color:#000000;} .saul-owlcred {font-style:italic; color:#000000; text-align:right; font-size:9px;} .saul-owl p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-owl b {color:#D1C2B9; text-shadow: 0.0em 0.0em 0.1em #5C4633; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .saul-owl {font-family: georgia; font-size:12px; color:#5C4633; letter-spacing:.2px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:15px; text-align: justify; margin:0px auto; margin:5px auto; width:450px;} .saul-owlinner{background-color:#9D7C5E; background-image:url(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g210/ ... aulbot.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 150px 0px; width:450px; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Vimala Misra - 08-26-2011 [html] don't worry about it! I've been busy with college things too, I understand! also this is a sucky post and I am sorry :| Word Count → 243 She was relieved that Saul was pleased with her answers. It wasn't that she had expected him to be overly critical of her, but more of a general worry that she wasn't going to be good enough. That worry dissipated for a moment at the pack member's positive response, but began to return as he asked what sorts of skills she had. Vimala wasn't completely useless--at least, she hoped not, as she had been raised on the idea that everyone should contribute to others--but was unsure of what talents were needed in Ichika no Ho-en. Judging from their apparent wariness of individuals who had committed crimes, as well as the male's friendly demeanor, she imagined that they were a rather peaceful pack. Surely there would be room for her to apply her survival skills. "Well, as I have been raised on the move, I have learned much about survival. I can hunt and cook food over a fire, and build a basic shelter. My family also dabbled in spiritual matters; if there is an interest in such things here, then perhaps I could contribute." It wasn't a lot and it wasn't particularly original, but she hoped that her talents and interests would be enough. Her parents and former packmates would have told her that if she didn't provide something, she wasn't good enough to live amongst them. Her golden brown eyes glanced at Saul for a moment, wondering what he would say next.

Vimala seemed a little unsure as both their words rang clear, but it was the usual way of things. It took time to get the technique right, but once he'd found a way to get the answers to his questions he stuck fast to the method in which they were obtained. The young male remained where he was as he allowed her room to think about what she could offer the pack. He remembered his acceptance into Dahlia- he'd been so weak he hadnt even been able to speak. But Bris had taken him in because he was family and there was no question. Still, he'd had to ask Shiloh much the same questions as he was asking now, even though she was family. It was just the way things went. Cinnamon backed ears flashed forward as the female spoke and Saul nodded softly along with what she was saying. It was a common answer these days, but he was more than willing to take her in and allow her to grow. word count → 000 ;; image © Fir0002/Flagstaffotos ;; table by lin .saul-owlooc {font-style:italic; color:#000000;} .saul-owlcred {font-style:italic; color:#000000; text-align:right; font-size:9px;} .saul-owl p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-owl b {color:#D1C2B9; text-shadow: 0.0em 0.0em 0.1em #5C4633; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .saul-owl {font-family: georgia; font-size:12px; color:#5C4633; letter-spacing:.2px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:15px; text-align: justify; margin:0px auto; margin:5px auto; width:450px;} .saul-owlinner{background-color:#9D7C5E; background-image:url(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g210/ ... aulbot.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 150px 0px; width:450px; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - Vimala Misra - 08-29-2011 [html] yayy Word Count → 318 Vimala was calmed a bit by Saul's words; he spoke about learning and helping one another and generally gave off a feeling of acceptance. Surely everyone needed time to grow and learn, and from the sounds of it, that was what this pack fostered. Vimala nodded in reply to Saul, then listened as he spoke once more. The words spoken by the agouti male seemed to form some kind of pledge. Vimala supposed that it was something all the new members had to recite. She paid rapt attention and repeated after him as instructed. "I am a Misra, I am an Ichikan. I seek love in my heart, knowledge in my mind, and wisdom in my spirit. I will love my fellow Ichikans and know them as family to the fullest I can; I will devote myself to my duties and learn from my work and the work of others; I will try my best to embrace all walks of life, faith and love. I understand that if I devote myself to love, knowledge and wisdom I will learn my path to true personal happiness, and find my place in the circle of life." She paused when she was finished, a sort of excitement building up inside of her. The words of the Creed summed up the sort of pack relationship that she wanted almost exactly. This was the place for her. But Saul wasn't done yet; he had one last thing to ask her. She was told to catch three fish and give them as gifts to others. The tan-furred female nodded. Tomorrow she would travel to the ocean and try her hand at some fishing. Already the atmosphere of friendship was pleasing to her. At his gesture of welcome, she walked beside him into the territory, smiling as she knew that she was home now. "Thank you, Saul," she told him before the two parted ways.
