OOc: optime form used

Jace stoped and sniffed at the ground curiously, there were pack markers here, she looked at Temo and whined nervously. The cold that had chased them since their encounter with Inferni was getting worse, something bad was coming, she could feel it and somehow she knew that if they were trapped out in the wilderness when it hit, that they wouldn’t survive it.

“What shall we do? Shall we join?"

She hunkered down a little as the swirling cold wind tugged at her fur, dragging it in all directions. It would feel nice to belong to a pack again and have some degree of protection, although she didn’t know if these would be any better than the first pack they had come across. Her new found sense of maturity and pride rapidly disappearing under the stress that flooded her body.

OOC here!

Jace settled onto her hindquarters, her arms encircled her legs, pulling them to her chest. She wags her tail slightly as Temo approached, wagging it a bit faster as he agreed with her, the ‘thump thump’ of it against the ground filling her ears. She considered her life thus so far and decided that she had spent the time in the best way that she could have done, she had honed her hunting skills even if she was no longer in possession of her ancestral hunting knife, a loss that she mourned dearly; Temo had been teaching her how to read the human language, something she didn’t excel at but made a passable progress. She wondered whether or not her birth-pack would be proud of her.

She snapped out of her musings and turned to Temo at his suggestion before looking at the rawhide sling they had constructed from the moose’s own skin to carry the excess meat,

“That sounds like a good idea, and from the looks of the weather it might be a help.”

Jace lapsed back into thought for a few seconds before raising her maw to the clouded sky and unleashing upon the world; for those who would wish to know, a soft lilting, mournful howl that spoke of the extreme north, short bleak summers and long harsh winters, she flicked an ear to the side as she heard Temo join in the respectful request for attention from the residing pack.

Haaii there

Jace nodded and rested her head upon her knees as they waited. Her odd colored eyes watching the surrounding landscape as the minutes slithered by with a mind numbing slowness. Her nose scenting the air every now and again for signs of activity, her ears swiveling to capture sounds and investigate and identify any she heard, the bent over tops of them waving slightly in the breeze.

She raised an ashen colored paw and absent mindedly stroked at the diagonal scars that marred her face as the listened to the sounds of nature, the majority of the coldness in the wind going unfelt due to her thick fur. Her partially braided mane being tugged by the wind and the beads making soft sounds as they clacked together.

When the sound of someone approaching reached them, her auds perked as much as they could given their muscle weakness and her head raised from its lowered position upon her knees. The male that loped steadily towards them was a lot larger than her own secui form was although she was taller than his secui in her optime, his dark, thick fur spoke of the same ancestry that she herself was from, the high north.

As he came closer, she could see he had green eyes, one of which looked damaged in some way. Her own blue and amber eyes sparked with curiosity as he made himself to look strong and assertive but not overly so as to cause offfense. Her ears moved back and downwards for a few seconds and her tail wagged gayly beside her legs in a friendly and submissive gesture, the brown tip standing out vividly against the pure white of the rest of it.

Jace smiles and bows her head slightly as Temo introduces her and waits until he finishes speaking to voice her own thoughts

“We have been traveling alone in the wilderness for too long now, we seek the company of others and a family to call our own.”

lol xD i get carried away with descriptions sometimes

WC: 526

From the way the male's eyes focused on herself then Temo then back to her she guessed that he had not seen many canids that looked as strange as they did; she looked down upon her multi-colored body and decided that she did look quite strange to someone who didn't know her heritage. She continued to look the male over, noticing his torn and tattered ear and the visible scars which made her fur fluff up a bit, reminding her of the horrid marks that disfigured her face.

She listened to his words, one of her ears upright; the other one dropped to the side slightly, and braced herself against the sudden wind that sprang up, carrying with it the growing smell of cold and ice. Her ears lowered slightly as he revealed he had no rule over who entered and who didn't but she looked hopeful as he mentioned he could gather the attention of the one who did.

She jumped slightly as he sneezed suddenly and scolded herself internally for being so edgy, she looked over to Temo and saw him listening intently as well. So focused on the dark-furred gent was she that the gentle eyed femme did not notice another male approaching, she was about to answer the grey male's question when the newcomer spoke and she noticed his presence.

Jace shifted nervously as the extremely large male with the golden hued pelt came closer, males that were very much larger than herself always made her nervous and antsy purely for the fact that she could not fend them off as easily if a fight were to start. She looked between the two greeters unsure of which one to answer before dividing her optical and bodily attention between them both as she answered what they asked of her.

She was not so arrogant as to believe that her few known skills were of much importance therefore there was no sense of showing off or gloating as she listed what her mind and body were capable of so far in her short life

“I have knowledge of how to use some human machinery providing it is in usable condition. I am an adequate hunter, especially of the small quick animals that are usually numerous, although I am no longer in possession of my hunting knife I can do a fair job of hunting larger game as well."

She stopped in her list for a second to gather her thoughts before continuing on.

"Despite my small size, I am stronger than I appear so I could be useful in building and assisting of jobs that require strong individuals. My birth-pack did not discriminate between males and females so each gender was expected to do the same amount of work, I am used to working hard for extended periods of time. And although it is not really that important, I am adequate at reading and writing English.”

She finished her tirade somewhat uncertainly, she did not know if this would be enough to endear her to those who had the say of whether or not she could join but all she could do was hope.

fail post is fail, WC: about 300 and already changed the description a while ago

Jace noticed Temo look at her curiously when she mentioned having knowledge of operating human machinery and flicked an ear at him, she would explain to him later. She listened to Temo’s explanation of his abilities and moved her legs from bent knees and heels flat to a cross-legged position easing the tension on her muscles. She shifted her odd colored gaze between the two males as the dark one, Falgar spoke. She nodded, agreeing with him. Flashy skills had no place in the wilderness when one had to rely on ones wits and cunning to survive.

Falgar called for the leaders and her eyes lingered on the golden wolf, Ookami’s size, she wondered if he were a pure wolf or if his largeness was due to an influx of non wolf DNA. She herself had gained no bulk or tallness from her father, whoever and wherever he was, her 5 foot 8 inch optime height and under-tipping weight were proof of that. But she did gain a substantial amount of strength that coiled in her subtle muscles, in an all out brawl she would be able to hold her own, her small, nimble frame working well with her hidden strength.

Suddenly it occurred to her that Ookami may have not been close enough to hear them introduce themselves, in which case she was being very rude towards him,

“Please excuse my rudeness” She directed at the large man “My name is Jace, it is a pleasure to meet you Ookami and you too Falgar.” She bowed her head towards both of them and then lowered her ears slightly, feeling quite the fool and wondering if this lack of manners would become a regular occurrence before resolving to be more aware of it.

The white, ashen, brown and black colored hybrid looked at her surroundings and sighed, it was noticeably dropping in temperature, she was not yet cold per say but she could feel the chill of it on her fur, the way the wind brushed against it. The silence stretched out between the four wolves but Jace did not mind, silence of the voice often left room for the ears to search, thus it was that she heard the approach of the sub leader of Phoenix Valley long before the woman arrived, her curled over lobes perking at the sound of snow crunching.

As soon as the small woman came upon the group Jace looked down in shame at her strange colored and patterned body. Compared to the beauty of the sub-leader Jace was an ugly mix and match, something not quite wolf and something not quite dog and not even a pure kind of dog, a mongrel, a mutt sprung forth from the loins of those who could not keep to their own species for breeding. Jace was not a purist, she did not believe that being of pure blood made one any better than one who was hybrid but she wished that her parents had thought about what their pups would like before choosing to mate. The patchwork of wolf and dog within her did not make for a stunning looking design more one that looked as though it had extra bits tacked on at the last possible second before birth.

Still despite her shame and worthlessness, it did not give her leave to be disrespectful. She raised her coal muzzle and looked the Savant in the eyes just long enough to determine their color before dragging her gaze away, lest she be accused of a challenge. She bowed her head to the female, lower than she had to Ookami or Falgar. Jace's mother had been the beta of her pack and had instilled a great respect for the leaders of packs into her two daughters, something which stayed with Jace as a respect to her mother as well as the leader in question.

One of Jace's ears dropped to the side as she contemplated what to answer to the smoky colored female while the other remained as perked as it could be considering the muscle weakness at the top.

"My name is Jace Denahlii, I come from the north, the very north. I have walked this world for two summers now though the summer of the north is a lot colder than down here."

Jace paused for a second, not willing just yet to explain her pack's bloody and horrific demise. Instead she recited what she had told to Ookami and Falgar about her usefulness to the pack should they accept her, explaining her abilities and knowledge with no hint of boastfulness or pride, as far as she was concerned it was nothing to be proud of to know how to survive, every creature should know this from birth.
