Everyone must post at least once, posting again after everyone else has posted is optional. If you want you can have your wolf just show up, listen to Cer then leave, all in one post! I am going to PP ahead a little in my post and just assume you all are good and everyone gathers/posts! Easy enough, yeah? If anyone wants to throw in any IC announcements of their own or introductions in their post, feel free! No posting order. Short posts are fine! Flayra is exempt. Night would fall soon and Cercelee did not intend to keep the pack for too long, she herself looked forward to going home with Slay soon enough. If all went as planned they would gather and disperse in almost no time at all. The most time would be for those who were further out to travel to the meeting spot. Of course she chose the town square again, already she was at her perch on one of the stone benches when she threw back her head and let out a long, loud howl. Cercelee sat still, listening to her own call echo off the buildings in the pack land and then further until it faded in the vineyards, beaches and forests beyond Dahlia de Mai. Now all there was to do was wait for the wolves to arrive.
One by one they filed in, sometimes in pairs if they just happened to arrive closely together or when family arrived together. One by one Cercelee greeted them all with a smile and nod, mentally keeping count of the wolves as they arrived. The town square was not decked out in lights as it had been for the All Hallow's Eve, this was no special holiday, just merely a quick meeting, yet with their numbers swelling the air was almost festive. Cercelee had never seen her pack assemble together with so many numbers, pride and happiness swelled within her. Despite their hardships, Dahlia de Mai was going strong, and Cercelee saw no reason why she shouldn’t start planning a festival for the pack’s first birthday. Finally all were settled and seated and Cercelee cleared her throat, looking once to Haku and once to Cwmfen. Both had agreed to the changes in the lead ranks, but Cercelee had not told either of them when she would announce it, but both were bright enough to guess tonight was the night. "Welcome everyone, and thank you for finding time to meet with me." Her voice was warm and genuine, the pack couldn’t possibly understand how much of her own personal happiness they caused. "I have a few quick announcements and then we can all get back to our dens. As you can see, the pack is growing. We are larger now than we have ever been, and if you can take a moment to learn the faces and names of all our new members I would appreciate it. Furthermore with such large numbers, Haku and I felt that an addition to the leader ranks would be beneficial to us all. Cwmfen is our new Adonis." She paused, letting them soak this in, but speaking quickly to get in all she had to say before any congratulations or protests could be voiced. "We can also congratulate Svara on her adult rank, and Firefly and Haku who have brought into Dahlia our very first litter and our youngest members." The new generations were always important to note, when they were born and when they came of age, they were after all the future of the pack.

[/html] - Deuce Rhiannon - 03-02-2009 Deuce and Taliesin sat close together, near Coli. Deuce had commented to her son about Coli's seeming improvement of self confidence. The girl needed it after what her father had put her through. Deuce was in her two-legged form now that Willow was wandering more. It gave her greater mobility, and better agility should Willow find herself in a situation that was unpleasant. Deuce's bi-colored eyes wandered, settling onto Firefly. She had heard the woman had finally met her stepdaughter, though Willow wouldn't tell much more than that. Deuce's eyes glanced around, settling briefly on haku. Now that she knew the truth of him, did she view him differently? he was still Haku, still handsome as ever. But now she saw the darkness underneath, where before she had seen only good. He had warned her, she supposed. After all, their first meeting hadn't exactly been...well, unforced. Her eyes flitted away, returning to the leader, glancing to the wolves of whom she spoke. She gave a congratulatory smile to each, her eyes darting away to seek out the small brown and cream form of her daughter. - Willow Soul - 03-02-2009 Willow dashed in late. She was young and foolish, and had wandered farther than usual. But she arrived, her form bumping into legs and bodies of bigger wolves before reachoing her mother. Cereclee was already speaking, and the girl leaned against her mom. Blue eyes darted around, the girl already aching to be moving again, ready to resume exploring. Her tail wagged as her mom leaned down and nuzzled her. Coli announced that she was staying with her mom and tal, and Willow piped up. "Yeah! She hunts real good too, like Tal!" She jumped up, pouncing playfully at Coli. She liked Coli, she was her big sister. They had the same dad. She didn't really understand why mom had said she wasn't allowed to be alone with dad. Neither mom nor Coli would explain, and Tal just shrugged when he was asked. She bounded over to her father, jumping playfully at him, licking his cheek. If there'd been any doubt of her parentage before, there wasn't now. - Alexey Koios - 03-02-2009 [html] style="padding: 0px; position: relative; top:75px; right:90px; width: 213px; height: 315px; z-index: 2; overflow: auto;"> 300+ Alexey was on her way back home when a powerful howl echoed through the night. Had it been anyone else calling out to her, she would have probably ignored it. But it wasn’t just any howl; it unmistakably belonged to the white queen of the lands. Whatever her reasons were for reuniting the whole pack, they most likely were good enough. Travelling all the way back to the town square did not exactly please her, but she sucked it up and did what was required of her. It took quite some time for Lexey to adjust to the large number of wolves present at the meeting. Quite honestly, she felt a little intimidated by all these wolves she barely knew. How many of them had joined during her absence? Half of them were unfamiliar faces! She sought refuge from all these strangers by lying down next to her best friend and keeping her mouth shut. The two-year-old girl felt a little out of place and it showed in her attitude. Alexey planned on keeping quiet unless spoken to, knowing it would spare her the idle chit-chat with others. Amber eyes travelled to the newly appointed Adonis, definitely a weird looking female: Cwmfen. She did not have any particular thoughts or opinions on the promotion. How could she? The Koios girl had never seen the female before. She simply smiled, hoping her reaction would be interpreted as a “congratulations”. When the Rosea mentioned Svara’s ascension to an adult rank, her smile widened. Finally. The brat would now receive the same treatment as everybody else; which meant her ass would get thrown out of the pack if she kept on pissing people off. What was next? Haku and Firefly’s puppies. Alexey did not say anything pertaining to the little fur balls. She'd spent quite some time with them already, and she had already congratulated Firefly many times. A frown settled on her face when Cercelee’s mate spoke up, not quite catching on to the underlying joke behind his boastful words. The Lierre did not dwell on him for long because Colibri took the center stage with her announcement. Good girl. Honey-hued eyes twinkled with pride as she noticed the major improvement in the blue-eyed lady’s behavior. She was finally coming out of her cocoon. What now? - Ril'o - 03-02-2009 Ril'o seems to keep spending time in that field, too much time one might say. He didn't care he liked being there as he ran about the day (whenever he wasn't on patrolling the borders), and watching the stars from the same field. Ril'o might be a nice guy but he did enjoy life, he took in everything that he was able to do. Ril'o still hadn't claimed a home but goes between to sleeping places, one a cabin near the field the other a den close by as well. Sighing his ears pricked when the Cer's howl rang in the air, a pack meeting! This was his first and Ril'o felt excited as he bolted out of the field, golden body ran straight towards the town square as his green eyes lead the way. Claws clicked the hard ground as he cut a hard turn into the town square, almost skidding to a fall Ril'o came to a stop near the back of the group. Panting he had a smile like always as his ears fanned forward listening to the others news. Everything seemed good and well when he heard Cer's speak of the events, tail thumping behind him maybe Ril'o was just having a good day as he spotted Slay with a grin- nodding Ril'o gave his leader and her mate a unspoken congratulations. He waited as he seen some new faces he had yet to meet, but Cwmfen was there and she was promoted a rank!! He remembers their talk about co-ranks and how he would become a hunter, never getting a chance to talk to Slay he figured this was the prefect time. Waiting Quietly he listened until each person before him had spoken before he let out his warm and happy voice, "I only have one announcement! I have decided to take a hunter co-rank, now that we have more mouths to feed and all!!" Smiling he looked from Slay then to Cer as he sat quitely. - Haku Soul - 03-02-2009 [html]
- Svara Thames - 03-03-2009 [html]
[/html] - Adelaida Koios - 03-03-2009 [html]
Adelaida had heard the call but she wished she hadn’t. She did not want to see them, the pack. Alexey, Sankor, Haku, Firefly, Svara. Yet she was too obedient to just ignore it, knowing that in a pack when the leader called you came. It was how their society worked and with being the outcast that she already was, she needed no help in becoming more of a deviant. Rising to her feet unhappily she made no hurry to get where she was going. She was one of the last to arrive. [/html] - Sabeen Thames - 03-03-2009 [html] http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/5443 ... 6b9oco.png); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> The call of her new leader had driven Sabeen from her sleeping place in Berwick. She was loath to call it a home- it was an empty house, housing her dresses and needles. At nights she would sleep on the hardwood floor, in lupus form, as she was accustomed. She drifted into the circle of wolves on two legs, curvy body wrapped in a black and gold tunic. It was faded and dusty, as were all her clothes. Eyes the colour of wheat examined briefly each new packmate; she had been the last to arrive and so her studies conflicted with the voice of her new Rosea. It was to her she looked first- white, like some angel. The words were boring, but she kept herself looking attentive for publicity's stake. The mention of Svara caught her attention briefly, and she flicked her sharp gaze to her daughter, who was opposite her across the sea of wolves. Split lips curled into a smirk, briefly, and then she was back into the other wolves. There was a sleek, black one with blue markings. Power resonated from her; Sabeen felt a flickering of interest and made a note to find out who she was. There was another white wolf, high in position, who spoke then. Pack politics had little use to the lady. The husky with intense black markings, who had spoken during the speech -- she noted he was the leader's mate -- replied to the white wolf (Mew, she gathered). A young girl piped up next, introducing herself as Colibri Haki, living with some wolf named Deuce and her two children. The wolf rolled her shoulders absently. Then another wolf announced taking a corank of hunter. Blah, blah, blah. Boredly the woman brushed the dirt off of her dress. She looked around again, waiting to see if anyone else would speak up. Haku was here, she finally noticed, but didn't think on it. He was a coleader, of course he would be here. Sabeen straightened up, taking a step forward to get into everyone's view. Her hands rested by her hips, a small smile gracing her pretty scarred face. 'I suppose now would be the time to introduce myself?' Her smile didn't reach her eyes. 'My name is Sabeen Thames.' She almost used Verlust, again, but Thames spilled from her lips at the last moment. The lady paused, and then added: 'I am Svara's mother.' Might as well get it out in the open, now. - Sankor Koios - 03-03-2009 Sankor had been lingering along the bay, wondering just if the waters would ice over again that winter and make it easy for him to gain access to the stark island where the birds called home. He was really just bored and wanted something new to do. He knew he'd promised to take Cercelee there when the season grew warmer but that didn't mean he wasn't allowed to go beforehand. His idle thought that fluttered in his mind wondered if any of the packmates he'd met thus far would actually like to veture over to the rocky shores as well. Sadly, his line of thought was suddenly interupted thought by the call of his Dreamspinner. Sighing to himself he had heaved himself to his paws and went off to join the rest of the pack in seeing what all the news was about. When he'd settled in a distance from the rest of the pack, not really sure who to sit by he was soon bombarded will all sorts of news, Cercelee spoke of one of the children reaching adulthood and he stole a glace herway for a mere moment, she didn't look too pleased though the rest of the pack had murmured their little waves of excitement. The one news that she had announced that had made him stand taller was when Cwmfen was announced to take the last role of leadership in the pack. His tail thumped against the ground, showing his approval as he let out a call of congratulations and did a little turn on the spot before settling down, realizing that the whole pack was around him. His tongue lulling out of his mouth in a goofy grin he gazed over at Ril'o for a second before shaking his head. He'd already heard the news of Cercelee's mate and the politics of who would be moving up into the higher ranks didn't bother him, they were filled to the gills already and he knew there was no way he'd ever find a place where he belong in the higher tiers of the pack. It was a sad thought but the male was fine with it, as long as he was seen as a hard working and acceptable packmate he was doing just fine. He nodded to himself and his thoughts but the drifting words of puppies caught his attention as he wrinkled his nose. He ddin't mind children but it just made him think of the arguement that his siblings and he had had the past moon and the patching up that still needed to be worked out. He sighed to himself and shook his head but was quiet as he listened to the news of others, not really having his own to add in, he doubted that the rest of the pack wanted to hear about how he and Ril'o had sat along the shore and compared the females of the pack against one another and marveled at the beauty of woman in all it's fierce strange ways. Yeah, he'd keep his maw shut just now, besides, it seemed there were a LOT more faces that he would have to get to know. The mahagony and ebony male sat back idly and looked about, trying to place the figures he already knew and those he didn't. After connecting as many faces as he could he realized the mother and the puppies were missing.. probably keeping them out of the weather just to be safe he thought as he pushed past that and turned his gaze glancing towards his own sibling, hoping that he wouldn't find a flash of anger turned his way. - Firefly Sadira - 03-03-2009 She didn't know what the coyote had been doing outside the borders of the packlands but neither of the figures had left the fight without some scraps and bruises. The Acer of Dahlia de Mai had used the whole encounter to good use though. The blood that was partly dried upon her pelt and still seeped from other wounds under her fur that she'd pulled loose in all the movement she'd made across the lands thatday had helped as well. She was exhausted but she continued on from the expedition she'd just finished. The small smudges of her own blood and the blood of Conor had been planted inside the cabin before she'd left, the scene wrecked by her own paws, the scent of the stranger on the border lingering. She didn't know if Haku had been back to the cabin yet but in the next few moments when the call had went out across the lands she hoped that he hadn't. The lady was too far from her packlands to race to be the first to the meeting and today perhaps for once she didn't care. Her slight wounds ached and the fact that her children were in the paws of another was almost too much for her, but Haku had done it, and this had been the final straw. The copper and gold woman had stumbled across the edge of their packlands as she let the blood boil and the anger build, her emotions running wild as she finally let loose and began to race towards the town square. She'd thrown her head back and let out a mournful cry before she'd arrived, but the sight of the woman herself was probably a more shocking sight than the anguish in her song. She stumbled into the meeting wild eyed, her heckles risen. She'd missed the entire episode with the leader and the announcements. She didn't care, not this time. Her eyes caught sight of Haku as she snarled and launched herself at the male. "Where are they!" she snarled as her fangs snapped in his face, the tears of all the pain he'd put her through coursing down her face as she growled. "You should have been protecting them!" she screamed, "Were you more concerned about your other precious bundle!" Her heart was breaking for all the times he'd done her wrong, but this time it would be him to feel the pain. - Dutch Biler'a - 03-07-2009 [html]
300+ The brute heard the voice of his new leader. He shot up his head, looking around to see where it was coming from. Ah. By her tone and the fact everyone was gathering around her, Dutch assumed that it was a pack meeting. Politics and the wellbeing of others didn't interest him at all. The male considered leaving, but thought better of it. He looked up at the white leader. She was pretty, he gathered, but she had said she had taken a mate. That was out of his range, obviously. Dutch listened to her talk about the pack and its news and information. It bored Dutch, making small yawns escape his lips. Why didn't they talk about exciting things at a pack meeting? Everyone looked so calm. "Oh, ew.." The brute murmured, looking around. Everyone was quiet. That is, until the white wolf finished her speech. Voices of other wolves were heard. He didn't know anyone, but was fine with that. He didn't need to know everyone to have fun. Besides, most of the wolves here didn't look like the kind of wolves he liked to hang out with.
- Lubomir Varg - 03-10-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/ ... banner.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;">
OOC: Late to the party, as usual. 798 words Lubomir Varg was in the Library, fingers skimming pages leisurely, his mind a million miles away. He knew there were puppies in the pack, though he himself had yet to see them. He wondered what they would grow up to be like, with parents like Firefly and Haku, for although he and Mew were their uncle and aunt respectively, things might be done differently here from his old pack. He missed his nieces and nephews, when he had enough time to spare a thought for them. And that, the grey male realised, happened less and less as time went by. His heart sank as he finally understood the great toll he had paid in moving so far away from home; for all that he thought of Frigg daily and kept his love for her as strong as it had ever been, the memories of the Old Country were slowly fading into the abyss of his mind. He could only dimly recall the borders of his pack, the smell of his den, the names of the lower ranking wolves. As Cercelee's call rang out through the lands, Lubomir put the book back and sighed. Here he was, in his new home, in a good standing in the pack, mate to the most beautiful wolf in the world and still he felt he didn't belong. His heart was heavy and his mind a blur, but still he left the Library and slowly walked towards the meeting grounds. Thankfully, he seemed to have been early enough to catch the last parts of Cercelee's announcement. Silently he stood by Mew's side, his hand resting on her shoulder. The news that Cwmfen would be Adonis did not surprise him as much as it should have. He admired the warrior, for her character and her integrity, but also her genuine interest in the other members. He remembered their talk well enough. To Cercelee he smiled warmly, although Mew's question threw him off. Indeed, who would take place in the council. He looked at Slay, a male he had yet to be properly acquainted with. It certainly posed a difficult question. He himself was mated to Mew, who held a place in the council. Firefly was mated to Haku, who was second in command. Finally, Slay and Cercelee were mates, which meant the other had access to the highest ranking in the pack. He doubted the place would be awarded simply on who bedded whom, but he had to wonder if he could hold such a position of importance. The grey male listened slowly, for a while saying nothing. But as the other wolves made their comments, he felt he had to say something himself. Stepping forward, he cleared his throat before declaring, "My heartfelt congratulations to Cwmfen on her promotion. She certainly deserves it and I am sure she will do great things for Dahlia. I also want to congratulate Firefly and Haku on their news, though for now it seems only the father is here." That puzzled him slightly. Where exactly was Firefly? Shrugging mentally, he added, "I have two things I would like to share with my fellow pack members. First, I myself have taken a mate, the gorgeous Mew Sadira and a co-rank, awarded by Cercelee. I am now the Ambassador for the pack and I hope I will be able to uphold my position with integrity and objectiveness." Smiling at Mew and inclining his head towards the leader, Lubomir took a deep breath. "The final piece of news relates to Wolfville itself. I have taken it upon myself to reopen our Library. So far the work has been great and varied, and I want to thank those among you who have helped. I anticipate the opening for --" But Lubomir never got to say when the Library would open. She tore through their meeting like a gale, screaming and going for Haku. Startled, the grey male jumped slightly. She was screaming about them and his mind clicked instantly: puppies. Were they missing? Firefly seemed injured and terrified and for once he pitied her. Haku was not a good mate or father it seemed. With an anguished look towards his mate, Lubomir confidently walked across the square to stand by the woman's side. He dared not touch her, lest she turn on him, but with a calm voice, he said to her, "Firefly, what has happened? Calm down and tell us why you're in such a state. And what happened to the puppies." He hoped he had spoken loud enough for anyone to hear, without startling her further. Lubomir's heart was breaking at the thought of more drama in their lands. The loss of the pups, if it were true, would only hurt Mew more. He could not stand by such a thing. - Cercelee - 03-15-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/c ... 10v2ly.png); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;">
Elliot, feel free to post still, but I am going to go ahead to keep the thread moving. Anyone can feel free to post now if they wish to make a second post, still no order so don’t wait around for anyone else! Meetings never went as planned, tonight was no exception. Cercelee was beginning to feel at ease, listening to and watching the other members. The newer ones introduced themselves, those newly appointed with mates or ranks announced that and perhaps all this would go smoothly after all. Soon enough they would disperse, all back to their warm dens and homes. It would be a successful evening. And then she came crashing through, the last to arrive. Firefly.
Right in Haku’s face, snarling and raving. Her words made Cercelee’s heart drop. She was sure many of the other members had similar feelings. Lubomir’s voice broke through before even Haku had a chance, and Cercelee had no choice but to mimic his own words. "Indeed, Firefly, please calm down. What happened to you? And to the puppies?" The female’s pelt bore fresh wounds, the puppies were missing, most anything could have happened.
Her eyes went from one pack member to the next. Many would not know of the puppies, the newer ones. Dutch and Sabeen, they had just arrived, not even long enough to know of Dahlia’s youngest members. Perhaps some would not care, she did not know Adelaida or Deuce well enough. Yet she knew the puppies would have more than enough championing for them. Her eyes flitted to Slay, wondering if he felt half as miserable as she did now, and then to Haku, waiting for Lilium and father to take charge.
- Cwmfen nic Graine - 03-15-2009 [html]
500+
Cwmfen smiled her silent thanks to the congratulatory remarks she received from the members. And the white orbs lingered on the mahogany form of Sankor, who made funny little turn on the spot. The pack’s psychologist had brought comfort to the woad warrior from the start. She had only seen him several times, however, and she regretted not being able to make her visits with him more frequent. There were others who congratulated her as well. Mew spoke as did Lubomir, and the white orbs regarded the mated pair with a measure of warmth. The warrior had taken a liking to the soft spoken female, and, though she had met him only at the hunt, Lubomir had made a good impression upon her as well. One by one the members went about, announcing their personal announcements. This was one of the things that Cwmfen particularly enjoyed in the meetings, if only because she could be silent and listen, unburdened by the attention of the others. The woad bound ears pricked forward as the girl Colibri Haki spoke. She was shy, but that was not what caught the warrior’s attention. It was the colour of the girl’s fur, so much like Haku’s that it was undeniable who she could be. And then her eyes went to Willow and to Deuce. And the warrior could not help but allow a small smile to grace her maw. It seemed that Haku had been a bit too free with his desires, but it seemed that there was not much conflict arising from his blood’s presence in the pack—save for Firefly, of course. And now, as the female looked about, she could not find her packmate among the crowd gathered at the square. The woad bound tail waved once behind her, pleased to hear that he had finally decided which co-rank he would aquire. And she was pleased that he had chosen to be a Hunter, for the pack, especially with their growing numbers and the growing numbers of their pups, would require as much aid as they could. She smiled briefly to the golden male before she turned her gaze to those who had been silent. The only silence that bothered the black fae was that of Adelaida, whom she had met only when greeting her at the Dahlian boarders as she had sought to join. And the warrior wondered now what it was that bothered the timid female. Perhaps she would request to meet her at a future date. Cwmfen briefly considered Dutch’s greeting before turning her attention to Lubomir’s news of rejuvenating the Wolfville library when Firefly’s entrance interrupted him, as well as the entire mood of the meeting. Her knews shocked the black fae, and the white orbs went from the furious Firefly to Haku. The woad warrior was silent as the others found their voices to speak to the hysterical mother, and she rose slowly to all four paws. “Who took them?” the alto melody asked darkly, quietly, almost speaking to herself, for the other wolves had asked already. Why would there be cause for the pups to disappear? The warrior was still as she waited, like the calm before the storm. |
