- Tayui Aston - 02-06-2010 [html]<style type="text/css">p{margin:0;padding:0;text-indent:30px;}</style> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/ ... middle.png); background-position:center; background-repeat:repeat-y; width: 410px; background-color: #ECE3A3;"> Whoops, did not see this thread at all! *replies now* B) WC: 346 The call rang loud and clear through the AniWayan lands, though it was a little hindered by the stuffiness and constancy of the rain. Tayui had been planning on coaxing Claudius out of the den that day to go hunting, but the rain had given the pale boy good enough reason to stay cooped up in their cave. Tayui had not wanted to stay in a stuffy, muggy cave all day, so she had decided to brave the weather and go out for a walk. She quickly discovered it was not the best of days for a walk, and soon enough, she had taken shelter beneath a grove of pine trees. Their needles kept her fairly dry at the base, and only every so often did rain penetrate the needles. It was here beneath this tree that Tayui heard the call and set off. She sent out a howl of her own, answering Dawali's. As an afterthought, she sent out another one beckoning Claudius to come as well. Now that he was over a year old, he was a member of the tribe, and on the craftsman path, too. He had every right and responsibility to come out to the meeting. Tayui arrived in the village soon enough; she had been quite close from her walk, and only had to jog a short distance before she arrived. She saw the newly constructed town hall and took a moment to admire the work. Tayui had not yet heard about the construction of this building, and she wondered if they would discuss it today. She doubted it; she suspected they would be discussing the Dahlian War today, which she was a little apprehensive about. Taking a deep breath, Tayui entered the town hall to see Dawali, Asha, and a new fellow already there. She offered the members a smile, and to Dawali, a greeting. “Dawali,” she said with a respectful dip of her head. “I hope the winter has been treating you well,” she added. She took a seat beside Asha, waiting for the other members to arrive. Table by Kate!

As soon as she heard the howl that beckoned her to her chief, Yumiko had ventured forth from her explorations of the packlands into the main village. She had avoided the area until then, afraid to meet her new pack members. Unusually for her she walked in her Optime form, giving her a higher vantage point on the area. The huts were impressive and numerous; she vowed to get one for herself one day. Maybe she would build one when the meeting concluded. Speaking of the meeting, what was it possibly about? That... war she had heard talk of? She shuddered as she strolled along and picked up her pace in the unfamiliar streets. A war... if she was called to fight she didn't think she could stomach the violance. She might have to leave her newfound tribe. She just couldn't harm another, not unless one she loved was in danger. Not after seeing everthing she'd seen. Despite the unfamiliar area, the layout of the village was simple and straightforward and she soon found her way to the cerimonial grounds. Following her ears more than her sight, she heard talking and the sound of the one voice she had heard in these lands; her Chief Dawali's. She liked the male, and appreciated all her had done for her by accepting her and giving her another chance. Yumiko's eyes widened as something of importance surfaced in her mind; she was going to ask for another position within the tribe. She knew it was rushed and perhaps uncalled for, but she felt useless just wandering and with little purpose. She wanted to become some sort of healer, to put her talents to use. With her mother's teachings under her belt, she would prove herself and maybe even charm a mate with her skill. The town hall loomed ahead, visible despite the mild fog and horrific drizzle. She shook her fur and brushed a droplet from her snout, just as it reached her nose. How annoying. I really hate Winter. She thought miserably. As Yumiko's nose caught whiff of Dawali, she noticed that she was not the first to arrive. Two females and a male surrounded the Chief, awaiting the start of the meeting. Was that all of the pack? Was this why she was accepted so readily? Breaking into a quick trot, Yumiko ran up to the others with her heart fluttering. New wolves; she was nervous. Slowing to an easy stop, she looked up at the tall, rather imposing Chief a few feet away. "Hello, I hope I haven't missed anything." She said softly, her eyes smiling. Feeling no need to ask how he had been, as she had seen him not long before, she turned gracefully and sat beside the white male on another boulder. Out of the corner of her eye she peeked at the others and found them all waiting paitiently for their Chief to speak. Yumiko put her hands in her lap and tucked her tail around her thigh, content for the time being. The rain had peetered off, becoming the slightest of snowfalls, and her fur was slowly drying out. She would wait until the meeting was over, and then talk with her newfound Chief about a more meaningful position. What then?... Perhaps find a nice place, near the village and close to the river, that was calm enough for her to build a hut and start a new life. She would find peace here, at last. - AriaDeValkeria - 02-08-2010 OOC: sorry for being late and for the suck in this post...just couldn't think of anything to put really... Aria's ear's twitched when she heard the howl from the pack leader, which got a sigh from the white and gray wolf. Raising herself from her den, she walked in her lupus form, going at a regular pace so that she doesn't end up becoming lost and missing the meeting altogether. The female traveled for several minutes before coming up to a large wooden structure, and held back for a few seconds, being intimidated by the size, having not seen such a large building of that kind before. It took her a few seconds to remember her reason for coming and she forced herself to walk into the seemingly monolithic creation. Looking around and observing the way the wooden building was crafted. She took in the way each piece fitted while keeping her other senses aware of the other wolves in the hall. After sating her curiosity she turns and walks to the leader, albeit slightly nervously, and looks up to him "May I ask what the meeting is about?" she states respectfully and keeps her body language submissive, being relatively new to the pack. - Hemming - 02-16-2010 Sorry this took me so long >< James asked me to bring Ember in too, so here she is. It was a little surprising that the stuff falling from the sky was so, well, wet. The last few days had been chilly, but apparently it was now warm enough to melt the snow on its way down. Hemming had eschewed his hat, as it was better serving its purpose as a sponge before the sun had even cleared the horizon, and was now sporting his rather charming spirit guide. She sang as the wolf headed towards the Town Hall, apparently pleased to be able to grip his head without hindrance. It had been a while since there had been a tribe meeting - not since the previous ceremony - and the Gatlvska wondered what it was about. Whatever it was, it was the first time the Town Hall was being put to a formal use. Though it wasn't perfect yet, the sight of the building made a warm feeling surge in the male's chest, part pride and part fondness for the memories it raised. As he was making a brisk pace towards the meeting, Hemming spotted Ember, and lifting a hand he waved and called before hustling towards her. Her pace was naturally quicker than his, though that wasn't saying much; he liked to walk slowly. Comments about the rain and laughter were exchanged, and before they knew it the two wolves had reached the handsome building. They stepped in, brushed the water from their fur and moved toward the gathering. There were faces that were familiar and faces that weren't, but Hemming smiled briefly at them all before sitting. - Dawali Amara - 02-19-2010 [html]

Although she wanted to ask him more -- about how he was doing, and catch herself up with the news of AniWaya -- she knew that this was not the appropriate time. And she was sure Dawali would include the recent goings-on when he spoke, so she knew she did not have long to wait. Soon enough, three more wolves entered the building, all of which Tayui did not recall meeting before. She wondered just how much she had missed when she had been keeping to herself and with her children. Certainly, it appeared as though quite a bit had been going on. Dawali quickly introduced one of the newcomers, gesturing to the male. Hemming, Dawali iterated, had assisted him in building -- and more importantly, theorizing the town hall. Tayui let her gaze slide over to the mottled male. She then noticed that Ember, too, had joined their group. Tayui realized she must have missed the other girl's arrival since she had been focusing on Dawali the whole time! She offered the girl a familiar smile, again wishing she had time to catch up with the Phoenix lady. However, Dawali continued onward, explaining the war between Inferni and Dahlia de Mai. For a moment, Tayui frowned, trying to piece together what she knew about the two packs. Gabriel led Inferni now, and from what Tayui had heard, Kaena had returned to the clan as well. So this must have been Gabriel's doing, for he had been the Aquila for a long enough time that even the return of his mother, previous leader, could not dislodge him from his post. Tayui did not know what to think. On one hand, Haku was from Dahlia, and there was a part of her that wanted her children to know their father. But the man was a beast, and she had known this when she'd slept with him. But what was Inferni doing with Dahlia de Mai? What was the purpose of this newfound war? Tayui could still remember the war between Aremys and Inferni, and how she had once stood before her packmembers and addressed them as Dawali had. What could it mean now, for all of them? Tayui was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Asha speak, and she instantly frowned. Perhaps some of them were wolf-haters, but not all of them were. Kaena had not outright attacked her when they had spoken, and the only reason Tayui had to suspect any hostility on Kaena's part was if Salvaged Eternity had still been in Jaded Shadows. But by the time the two leaders had met, Salvaged had left Jaded Shadows, and Inferni was at war with Aremys. Although this had frightened Tayui, and she had wondered if her pack would have been next, Kaena had assured her there was no conflict between them, and Kaena had kept her word. Even when Tayui had met Gabriel, on his own lands, and established Shadowed Sun's neutrality in the first Dahlian War. Haku had raped someone (and still, Tayui slept with him), and then attacked again. But the one thing that had stood out from that meeting was Gabriel's insistence that it was a war with Haku, not Dahlia de Mai. Tayui wondered how much of that was true again for this case. “As long as you don't provoke them, I doubt you have much to worry about,” she retorted, surprised that there were still wolves who believed it was all wolf-hating and coyote-hating. It wasn't all so black and white. “I'd be wary in case they mistake you for a Dahlian wolf, but if you don't go picking fights, they've no reason to attack you.” She wanted to add: They just want to live their lives as they see fit, but given the context, she doubted it would be appropriate. Nonetheless, both Gabriel and Kaena's words had boiled down to the same essential principle: don't bother us and we won't bother you. Table by Kate!

Don't let it die! D8 WC: 428 As a few more people arrived and took up positions around their Chief, Yumiko began to relax in the rather peacful atmosphere. Sure, everyone was tense about why the meeting had been called, but despite her deep-rooted hatred for the stuff she found the snow calming her down with its large, fluffy flakes passing by the open door to the hall. All at once the gathering quieted, and Dawali began to address them. He started off lightly enough, pointing out the newly built (so that was why everyone was so in awe) Town Hall they rested in, pride clear in his voice despite his words saying he had plenty of help. Then a cloud seemed to loom overhead, as he took a deep breath as if to steady himself. What could he possibly have to say that had him so worried? He immediately told them, and she realised he was not worried about his words so much as the crowd's reaction to his statment. A few gasped, but most were not surprised and quickly agreed and disagreed as a debate slowly began. With no relatives or real friends in the area, Yumiko didn't really know where she stood and decided to follow her leader's will. It seemed logical enough. One female seemed to disagree with his points entirely, going as far to say she clearly took the side of... coyotes? There's a pack of coyotes? I didn't know they did that. Yumiko thought blatently, a frown creasing her forhead. Deciding to give herself a voice even if it didn't have much to say, she spoke up timidly. "I know most of you don't know me, and that I don't really have much say in this decision, but... I think our Chief has chosen the right path. We aren't exactly the largest pack out there, and we can't really afford to have any enemies." In regards to Tayui's comment about coyotes not being that much of a threat, she added, after a short gap in her words, span <style="color:#4B3F55;font-weight:bold;">"I mean of any kind. Wolf or coyote, Luperci or not. We should stay neutral." With that, Yumiko realised she had stood up when she began to speak and hastily sat back on her rock. Hunching over in case she had just made a fool of herself, her ears lowered in embaressment at speaking up in front of a crowd of mostly complete strangers, she waited to see what would happen next. As she did so she vowed to wait until she could take Dawali aside, and ask for the healing position she hadn't been able to stop thinking about the entire meeting, drama or no. - Dawali Amara - 03-29-2010 [html]

- Tayui Aston - 03-31-2010 [html]<style type="text/css">p{margin:0;padding:0;text-indent:30px;}</style> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/ ... middle.png); background-position:center; background-repeat:repeat-y; width: 410px; background-color: #ECE3A3;"> WC: 318 Although Tayui had been concerned her words were too strong — after all, she wasn't saying the coyotes would not attack unprovoked, since they had in the past — she felt it was necessary to address Asha's misconceptions. They weren't all bad, as Dawali mentioned, and as Yumiko mentioned, Dawali had chosen the correct path. They were a tribe, not a pack; there had to be a difference there. The entire AniWayan way of life was different from most, and they had journeyed to 'Souls to escape the prejudices of their past lives. Certainly, they were the ones who would understand the consequences of mistrust and fear. Fear could lead to hatred and bitterness, and Tayui knew none of them wanted that. Perhaps she would speak with Asha someday to see whether she believed what she said, or if she was simply repeating some other wolf's words. Until then, Tayui would not know. Tayui saw Ember catch her eye for a moment, nodding slowly. Tayui tilted her head, giving her a slightly thoughtful look, wondering what Ember's glance could mean. Once Ember spoke, Tayui recalled her meeting with a male coyote, and how Ember had begged Tayui to leave her behind. How she had begged Tayui to return her to Storm — just like the last Ember had. Tayui felt the familiar feeling of regret wash over her at the thought of her adoptive daughter, but tried not to wallow in it. She offered Ember a small chuckle in reply, nodding her head slowly. Ember had made quite a name for herself as a warrior here. With Dawali, who had fought off Brennt, and Ember protecting the pack, they had a bit of a fighting chance should that wretched coyote choose to return. As long as they didn't try to attack Inferni or do anything to provoke them, however, Tayui suspected things would be fine. After all, she could only hope. Table by Kate! [/html] |
