- Jontae de l'Or - 10-15-2009 Character Name: Jontae Trouillefou de l'Or Character Birthdate (including year): August 3rd 2009 Luperci Species: Mutt, dog/wolf/coyote mix Gender: female A secondary form of contact (AIM, MSN, Y!M) Firefly's Account OOC: Jontae is being lead by one of the lost crew members to find Jacquez, she will be staying but the crew member won't, explaination below. IC Jontae was conceived onboard the ship that had set sail from Florida, Jacquez the rowdy fun loving captain had spent the night basking in rum with the company of Rogue, one of the women of the ship who wasn't against having a wee bit of fun on the long and dreadful flight from their old lands. Rogue had realized the night before the ship had sailed into a storm that she was carrying but because of the tragedy that befell the crew she had no time to bring the subject to light with the Jacquez. When the ship went down Rogue was left clinging to a pair of barrels she'd managed to lash together. The currents took her far from where Jacquez and Ruri were deposited and she'd landed many leagues north of the territory of Souls. There she'd set up camp and waited, hoping that any of the others would show up. After a few weeks when it became clear that there was no one else who was going to appear she began to track her way down the coast, hoping to find a few of their crew in the process. Rogue met up with Aimé, Corbis, Valentie, and Séraphine. By the time she'd found her comrades it was more than apparent that she was indeed pregnant and yet she still refrained from naming the father though to the crew who'd known her it was more than clear. The small gathering of mutts had found themselves stranded on the edge of a land of ash and death, the remains of Bleeding Souls when Rogue had come to the end of her pregnancy and the gathering had to stop to care for the new mother and child. When the small girl was born her father's breeding showed clearly and Rogue finally admitted to the rest of the crew what they already knew. Rogue and the rest of the crew settled on the edge of the lands, waiting for the time when the young pup, named Jontae would be strong enough to accompany them on the rest of their journey. They spent many weeks in the area thriving on the fruits of the forests not tainted by the wildfire that had ran through the lands. The clan met a stranger in this time that spoke to them of a self appointed king in the lands of Souls, this troubled the clan and upon further pressing they were presented with a ray of hope as they found out that Jacquez was indeed alive and well. They decided immediately that they would head out to find their captain and king and rejoin his forces in this new land. The going was tough and the four of them took turns carrying small Jontae when her legs grew too tired to carry her. They had almost made it to the edge of the great mountain when tragedy struck. A pack of wolves ravished by a disease of the mind attacked their troupe and realizing that the strangers weren't in their right mind instead of fight the group fled. Séraphine had been carrying young Jontae at this time and found herself seperated from the rest of the troupe. With one of the wolves hot on her trail she dashed up the mountain recklessly, fearing for their lives as she felt the breath of the beast behind her. Somehow just as she was about to give up she heard a cry of pain and alarm behind her as the beast lost it's footing and tumbled over the cliff and down into the darkness below. Séraphine dropped where she was and fell into a troubled sleep, waiting for the break of day to continue their journey. When the two of them greeted the rising sun Séraphine convinced Jontae that they needed to move on and that she would bring her to her father where she could wait for Rogue and the rest of the troupe to reassemble. Séraphine doubted that they would find them but she had already made up her mind when she delivered Jontae to Jacquez that she would turn back to continue her search for the rest of their crew. Séraphine traveled the lands of Souls with Jontae until she found a scent that she knew beyond all. Following it to the borders of their captain she called to the new troupe, asking for their assistance. - Ruri Aceline - 10-15-2009 [html]
- Jontae de l'Or - 10-15-2009 [html]Seraphine had deposited Jontae on the ground and was busy pacing back and forth. She normally didn't travel in her muttly form but preferred the feel of only two legs beneath her. It had been necessary though carrying the king's young brat and she didn't regret it now for they probably would have been killed otherwise. Instead she gave the annoying up a firm grooming while she waited for any of the members of the pack to show. Jontae protested loud and clear to the bathing and Seraphine was forced to ld the child down with her forepaws to finish the bath before finally giving up and throwing the kid a lookof disgust. I she wanted to look like she'd just taken a fall in a mud puddle that was fine with Seraphine. She shook her head and growled. "You had better behave yourself imp." before the sound of someone crashing through the lands caught her attention, causing her to completely miss the child sticking her tongue out and making such a horrible face in return. She probably wouldn't have said anything if she had caught her, they'd all had a rough trip. Seraphine's ears pricked forward when she recognized the scent of the other, her tail beating against the wet ground as a voice was given to match the scent. She was mildly surprised to see Ruri here in these lands but it was only for a second for she knew that Jacquez had looked after the girl like a sister and wouldn't have allowed any harm to come to her. She smiled and took a step forward to greet Ruri as she called out. "Of course it's me Ruri.." She didn't stop to think about the fact that she would probably break Ruri's heart a little when she was forced t turn and go. She cleared her throat as she watched Jontae attacking an old gnarly root, her voice hesitant as she added. "I have.. a package for Jacquez." Her ears bent back as she sighed. "I'm afraid I was separated from Rogue, Aimé, Corbis and Valentie.. trying to get here." She noticed as Jontae finally had noticed their visitor and she was about to give the child a proper tongue lashing as she watched the small one bound over to Ruri and sniff about her. She growled at the child as she was ignored. "That is Jacquez package, Jontae. I hope he can deal with her better than I can." she said as Jontae spoke up. ------ The small pup sniffed about the paws of this new lady as she cranked her head back to gaze up at her. She knew that the adults could do that neat trick, walking on two paws but she hadn't figured it out yet. She frowned as the lady didn't really take notice of her and she called out. "Hi chu, I'sa Zon too." Not realizing how horribly she had mangled her name she turned back to Seraphine and complained. "Wheresa mums..." She hadn't seem Rogue for quite a few days and while she like the fact that Seraphine carried her everywhere she wanted her mother.[/html] - Ruri Aceline - 10-15-2009 [html]
- Jacquez Trouillefou - 10-16-2009 [html] ooc: Thought I'd have him arrive as Séraphine was leaving...? C: Speak of the Devil, and He shall appear... Jacquez Trouillefou was in a pleasant mood that afternoon as he strolled away from the stables, mischief glinting bright in his obsidian-black eyes. Finn Fidh had spent the morning with him, testing out her new werewolf form in the best workout he could give her. He was glad, supremely glad that the scar-riddled brawler had joined his kingdom -- she had already proven herself a fine packmate. She had even chased away the chill of the cool autumn day, along with the bottle of rum he had downed. Yes, things were going splendidly in the Court of Miracles. Svara and Firefly had come home, Leroy and Ayita would have their litter soon, beautiful women were chasing after him everywhere he turned... it was good to be king. His folded ears flicked forward as he caught the faint sound of a howl. Someone was at the borders, then? It was too far to recognize the voice, but the female's cry was not unfamiliar. The monarch brushed some stray leaves from his burnished fur, vainly picking a twig or two from his mane before he set out leisurely across his land. Someone else would greet the inquirer by the time he arrived, but he could be fashionably late and steal the spotlight. So long as he looked the part; no bits of grass or anything in his pelt from rolling about on the ground... And his little filly, Rue, was not following to undermine his authority today. She had found a new playmate, Finn's big red deer companion. Jacquez was taking advantage of the temporary distraction to sneak away on his leaderly duties yet again.
- Jontae de l'Or - 10-19-2009 [html] Séraphine couldn't help but smile though she was weary when Ruri began to speak up. She had expected a rush of questions but she had been just as surprised as Ruri that so many of their numbers had survived the shipwreck. She inhaled deeply, trying to rid herself of the tiredness that clung to her bones as she shook her head and responded. "I'm not certain if we would have found eachother but Rogue was persistent in finding Jacquez and it just so happened that luck was on our side too." She stared off in the distance towards the great mountain she'd passed over and wondered if any of their comrades had made it over to this side as well. She was silent a moment before she continued on. "It doesn't matter, we probably would have given up looking for the rest of the crew if some stranger hadn't brought news of the packs around here. He'd spoken of a strange new troupe lead by a self appointed king.. if that didn't sound like Jacquez I don't know who it could have been." She chuckled at the memory as she tried to move forward to stop Jontae from invading Ruri's space but she was too late. Glaring at the young pup as she captured the blind girl's attention she almost didn't catch Ruri's words as she realized what Séraphine had meant by delivering a package to their king. She swallowed hard as she tried to explain but really she didn't know what to say except for pointing out the obvious. "She's Jac's daughter. She's not mine though, which is why I must return to where we were separated and see if I can find the rest of the crew. Rogue will be missing Jontae and I need to let her know that I brought her to Jacquez as she wanted." There was sorrow in her voice as she finished the last words. Séraphine was not a cruel creature but she was not the pup's mother and didn't have the same attachment she had for the small one yet as she did for the rest of the crew. Séraphine opened her maw to speak once more but closed it quickly when she caught sight of a well known figure strolling towards them. "It seems I must pay my respects to our captain before I vanish or he will be distraught..." A slight hint of amusement in her voice as she nodded low to Jacquez as he strolled onto the scene. She didn't know if she should be the one to tell him about the small figure that was nosing about Ruri's paws or if Ruri would be better suited to hand him the news. She didn't want to miss it though when it happened. ------ Jontae had no notion that her newest adult figure in her life was blind but she didn't think it strange at all when Ruri didn't look right at her. She use to adults doing all sorts of crazy things and more often as not she tried to escape their strange antics and strive for a more sane lifestyle, that of the carefree puppy. When Ruri introduced herself after asking something about her she didn't quite understand she frowned and tried to pronounce the name. "Iye Rooree." She knew that sooner or later she would master this strange thing that the adults seemed to thing was so necessary but for now she would try her best and they would have to deal with it. Jontae sniffed at Ruri's nose a second before she heard Séraphineand Ruri go on about Jacquez again, she tilted her head to the side and announced what was common news in this small area of field. "Jaccooz mah daddy." Even though she had never set eyes on the man she had learned enough already to know that he was her father, at least by popular belief. She wagged her tail, proud of the announcement she made as she turned to watch Séraphine, making certain to blow a raspberry at the woman who had been her guardian these past few days. Right in the middle of making the rather rude sound she noticed what Séraphine was looking at and she stopped to stare, her tongue still sticking out of her small maw as Jacquez appeared upon the scene. [/html] - Ruri Aceline - 10-19-2009 [html]
- Jacquez Trouillefou - 10-19-2009 [html] Jacquez swept down the hill, an appraising smile flashing from ear to ear. His booming voice announced his presence before he reached the women (or so he assumed, despite his highly noticeable approach). "Séraphine, quel fortune! Tu es vivant, tu as survécu! C'est une journée merveilleuse pour tous. Les autres sont à venir?" He rattled off in French, feathered tail waving at a merry pace behind him.
- Jontae de l'Or - 10-21-2009 [html] She felt guilty when Ruri's mournful voice pipped up asking about her leave taking. She sagged her shoulders as she admitted. "I can't leave them out there alone, but we had all agreed that we were going to come back here. They may be on their way now.. or they may be scattered to the winds. I'm going to find them Ruri.." She felt bad about having to leave, just dumping Jontae on their floor and heading back into the wild but she knew the puppy would be far better off here in the packlands then out where she would be. She didn't even know if she would be making it back alive so she hadn't made any promises to Ruri, hoping the girl understood.
Seraphine couldn't help but cringe as Jacquez made his way towards them as Ruri announced her presence. She was use to this but she had wanted to take her leave before the bright cheery king had arrived. She should have known that when she called he would have come running but she had been too busy trying to make certain she'd come to the right place. She sighed once more as she turned her bright eyes towards Jac and tried to offer him a smile.
"No Jac, I haven't come to stay, not yet. The others and I were separated.. I must go find them. I just had to make certain our newest crew member made it here alright." She turned towards Ruri and Jontae, her eyes settling on the small form that was attempting to eat a dandelion as she announced the child's presence. "Jac, this is Jontae. I was suppose to deliver her to you. Compliments of Rogue." She knew she was being cruel but it was the first time known to the crew that Jac's little games had got himself in a pickle and she was dying to see the expression upon his face.
She turned away for a minute though and cuffed Jontae around the ears as the child finally had captured the weed and was attempting to demolish it. She gave a soft growl as she admitted to Jac. "I was separated from Rogue and the others, we were attacked. I barely made it out alive. I'm going to go back to find the rest of our troupe. You can thank Rogue for everything, it was her determination that brought us this far..not mine." Seraphine yawned and shook her coat out as Jontae decided to resume her attack on the weeds. She sighed and just gave up. Jontae wasn't her problem anymore.
---
Jontae had the bright yellow weed in her mouth when she realized that the brassy loud male that had arrived was Jacquez. She quickly abandoned her flower, though her mouth was coated in bright yellow pollen as she tried to scamper over Seraphine's legs and present herself before this new creature. Her tiny fluffy curl of a tail wagged happily as she announced. "Yous Dadhdy." Well, that is what they had all told her, it wasn't her fault he was just learning this and he hadn't even seen her yet.
She scampered back over to her yellow weed and attempted to flatten it to the ground once more with a soft growl as she watched the adults from the corner of her eye, believing they were going to try and steal her lovely treat once more. The world was her playground and she would do with it as she wished. She was a princess after all.[/html]

- Firefly Sadira - 10-21-2009 Just because Firefly wants to laugh at Jac.. sort of. IC: Firefly was still sore at Svara for the trouble she had caused and rather annoyed at the world. The pathetic kitten that had attached itself to her after she'd made a meal of his mother had clambered on her back and settled behind her shoulder blades. Firefly did her best to ignore the kitten but she would rather act grumpy than admit that she actually liked having the kitten about, it took away from the pain of loosing her children. Why they were always on her mind now she really didn't know but it still plagued her greatly. She had heard the howl of the stranger and had taken the small kitten to see what was about. She needed something to take her mind off the thoughts that had invaded her normal life style. She had just been strolling up when she caught the butt end of the strangers words to their leader. She paused at the outskirts as Ruri tried to sooth things over and the child just declared the news right out to Jacquez face. A chuckle exploded from her lips as she continued on into the circle. A raised brow greeted Jacquez as she looked down to the little brat. "Well she does look like you, sortof.." It really didn't surprise Firefly that the male had unknown children, it actually amused her greatly. She paused crouched down low to the pup who was demolishing the dandelion as Elroy leapt off her back and onto the puppy, expecting a playmate. She flinched, not knowing what was going to happen to the kitten but she ignored the two youngsters as she added. "I can help Ruri too, I miss my boys anyways." Who would have guessed Firefly was able to admit that much. She eyed the two playing as she waited to see what the king would decide of his new princess. - Jacquez Trouillefou - 10-21-2009 [html] <3 Jontae...? Compliments of Rogue? The king blinked, dark gaze settling on the small scrap of fluff. A... puppy? His lip curled automatically, ears tipping back in a shocked and disgusted reaction. He had been with Rogue on the ship voyage here, he recalled, a harmless fling that had quickly been forgotten in light of the devastating wreck. 'Harmless' was no longer the proper adjective, if she had begotten a child! It wasn't his fault, after all, pregnancy was entirely the woman's choice in his convoluted mind. Jontae's bright eyes regarded him happily as she chirped her greeting, the last two words any bachelor ever wanted to hear in his lifetime. He did not answer her with anything more than an exasperated huff of air and a nonplussed expression.
- Jontae de l'Or - 10-23-2009 Seraphine waited until it was decided that the child would stay. She almost wanted to snort at the reactions of the father, thinking that he would go along so long without finding himself with a gift from Luna. She shook her head at the whole scene before her as another woman approached. She wondered if this creature was another of Jacquez playthings but left it alone. She dipped her head in farewell as she backed away from the comfortable gathering as she spoke up. "She was the only one to live Jac.. but I will try and bring the rest of your crew home, if any survived." Her voice showing a bit of annoyance at the male's words before she turned her gazed down at the kitten and puppy in their little mock battle as she growled softly to the runt. She flicked her tail in a show of annoyance though she wouldn't admit that she'd come to like the child a bit for all her sauce and vinegar she spouted from time to time. Her voice grew gruff as she turned away. "Be good Jontae, don't do anything I wouldn't do.." She doubted the child would understand but Jacquez and Ruri would. She had been a wild one, rough and tumble when she'd been part of the crew. Always causing trouble and cracking jokes that the shipmates bore with good spirits. She wondered if the small fry would turn into trouble. She was a princess after all now and she deserved to be a bit spoiled, not that Seraphine believed that her father would do just that. She nodded one last time as she trotted away from the group, knowing that it would probably be a while before she saw any of their faces again, if she ever did. ------- Jontae had been about to behead the dandelion when all of a sudden she felt something heavy land upon her back, flattening her to the ground. She gave a squeak of protest and turned to be greeted with a pair of bright blue eyes. She growled and turned under the smaller creature, buffing it's belly with her dull nails as she pawed at it's face. She had no clue what this creature was but it was now hers to play with! She grabbed up at the creatures ear and tugged at the velvety flap as she made funny little sounds of puppy joy. She had totally forgotten about the gathering of adults and almost missed Seraphine's retreat until the soft growl she issued hit her ears. Jontae squirmed out from under the kitten who went about attacking the puppy's fluffy tail while she stood at attention to gaze up at the adults. She really didn't understand what all was going on but she watched as Seraphine took off and a soft whine escaped her throat before she turned back to the remaining adults, her eyes asking what just happened. - Ruri Aceline - 10-25-2009 [html]
- Firefly Sadira - 11-04-2009 [html] Firefly rolled her eyes at the words that Jacquez had spoken and just grinned over towards the puppy and kitten playing as she answered. "Yes your majesty, she'll be cared for as though she was the most precious little package ever delivered to our pack." The wickedness of her words required no hinting as she eyed their king in his new sulking mood. So she hadn't been able to bring the king to pieces but it looked like the tiny little runt had more power than she knew. Firefly grinned at the pup and chuckled. "You are a rather impressive little one Jontae.." She said as she poked at the puppy with a paw as she watched the strange woman heading off once more.
She had caught the words of Ruri and she smiled and brushed up against the young blind girl as commented. "It's fine Ruri.. I miss my own pups.." They really weren't pups anymore but in her heart they would always be just that. She turned her head back to Jacquez as she left him with a smart little remark. "Just remember she is your daughter Jac." She doubted that the king would be cruel to the small child but it seemed that she had lost a mother for an unknowing amount of time and now here was her father with little care for her as long as someone else was taking control of the situation.
Nudging Jontae softly she sighed and called out to Ruri. "Let's get this princess out of the cold and get something in her tummy." She knew that Ruri wouldn't be far behind her as she began to usher the puppy on towards Ruri's home. Firefly had been thinking of moving out of her drafty cold little shack but she hadn't really had a reason to and now it seemed one had been delivered, how strange the world was. Perhaps this was just what she needed tp push past the grief of losing Svara. - Ruri Aceline - 11-05-2009 [html]
