The pale woman rode her bike calmly through the almost rocky lands. It came nearly effortlessly for her, to spin her legs around on the metal structure, the sound of the chains clicking together soothing her to the very end. After living 99% of her life besides machines, her trust on them was far more stronger and deeper than with other living beings. Machines never failed. They did what they were told to, what they were built for. And if they broke or stopped working properly, it was the fault of its mechanical or creator for not taking good care of it or not making it perfectly. It was always someone's fault; never the machines.

They had never let her down, so why hate them?

Her rather weak nose scented a smell not quite familiar to her, and the steampunk stopped on her tracks fully, a rather alarmed and confused expression on her face. It wasn't the smell of rust, nor oil. Coal, wax, gas, copper... none of them fit that smell. It was... the scent of wolves. In fact, the scent of a pack.

Not being as sociable as expected from a wolf, it was a rather disavantage for her. Such things that were so simple for anyother canine had turned into enigmas for the Victorian woman.

She carefully dismounted her bike, careful not to let it fall to the side. The wieght of all her stuff would make it rather hard to get it up again. Multiple sniffs in the air and a watchful gaze on her surroundgs gave away she was in the borders of a pack.

Oh, gracious!

The pale woman knew it would be the normal for her to feel in the need of other wolves' company. But yet, it was hard for her to admit it. She had took care of herself this far; therefore, she could keep herself safe and sound and on the move for much longer. Why need a pack? Well... because it was...

"Logical?" The creamy woman said out loud, scratchinbg her neck in disconfort. "Oh, for the love of the Queen!" She said a bit too loud in distress, but then sighed heavily and took a deep breath. A shaky, unstable howl broke through her lips, reflecting her unneasy in acting so much... like she should. As a wolf.

For a minute, carefully marked on her pocket watch, nobody came, and her uncertainty of her actions started to steam up inside her. Slowly, the beating of her feet on a rock she was standing on got quicker and more anxious. Then, a beat came from them, and in a question of seconds she was tapdancing, her feet alive and moving on their own will while her arms were crossed over her chest and her face showed her nervousness. They went on the tune of 'Singin' in the Rain' by Gene Kelly, her greatest idol. That kind of stuff happened when she got indecided, nervous, angry, or worse, drunk. Right now, however, it was the first factor.

When her feet were about to stomp the poor rock open, she shook her head nervously and got on her bike again, decided to turn away and never look back. What a shame! A wolf that couldn't be a wolf... Most pitiful.

Before she began to wheel forward, she haulted, biting her lower lips, and took the cross-key on her hands.

"Grampa..." The woman muttered in the softest and lowest of whispers, stroking the metal piece with her thumb ever so gently. Lord, how she missed him. Flashes of their time together shone inside her mind swiftly, but disappearing just as quickly. He always trusted her to do what she felt was right. But in that moment, she didn't know what was right anymore.

Hope you don’t mind me popping in here, I couldn’t resist Ezra being all 'O_O' at the bike XD

So Ever and Ezra had survived the storm, it seemed, even though they were a bit worse for wear. The male had been laying low since the storm, filling his days with wandering and time with Ever. He really was an anti-social loser sometimes, but in the winter it didn’t really bother him. Besides, he had Ever, and couldn’t imagine a better day than hanging out at home with a fire burning, in each other’s arms. It was perfect. But today Ezra had cabin fever, and the last place he wanted to be was the house.

The hybrid had strayed from his coastal abode, doing his best to wander in places he hadn’t been to in a while. The male knew the layout of his pack home perfectly now, after nearly a year of residence. Cour des Miracles certainly wasn’t as daunting as it used to be. The Marquis was proud to be here; the pack of misfits would end up being his home forever. Especially if Ever became pregnant. But Ezra wasn’t about to think about that today, so the bi-colored male shook the thought out of his head before continuing to plod along his snowy home.

An unusual set of sounds, and smells, broke the secui’s daze. Black ears perked up in the direction of the howl that was unfamiliar to him. Ezra immediately tensed up, curious to see who was there, uneasy of the potential stranger. He followed the trail of the smell until an extremely unusual sight was in front of him. He saw a fair haired wolf acting rather strangely, and the large male cocked his head in confusion. She seemed happy doing whatever it was that she was doing, but it looked bizarre to Ezra. He sighed and decided to formally greet this stranger who looked about as harmless as a mouse. “Can I… help you?” Ezra said warily, more out of confusion than anxiety. The male then noticed the copious amount of stuff with her, especially that metal thing that she clung to. It was then Ezra decided she was a very peculiar wolf indeed.

hehehe lol yep, she's pretty much of an oddball >P

Before the British could start wheeling away from those pack borders,a thick, male voice called out for her, and in a startle, she turned around, one of her legs getting ready to dismount the bike and one hand starting to reach out for her pipe wrench.... just in case. Most of the males she have met were, to put simply, sex machines, only talking to her in a failed attempt to seduce her. Of course, many of them had to leave with a broken bone or with a head trauma, if lucky.

This one however, had a sharply confused gaze at her belongings. Especially her bike. yes, he was in Secui form, and hterefore, more of a threat than a Lupus or Optime shifted wolf, but since his attention was more on her things than on herself, the pale woman didn't mind him much.

She slowly climbed off the bike, holding it up with both her hands in the handles and supporting part of the weight on her body. "Please forgive me, sir. Ah... Ah was just... well..." The woman tried to start, but wasn't sure how. Ever since she left London, she didn't have much contact with packs. In fact, the technician avoided them at all costs, but right now, there was no way out. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"CAN I JOIN YE PACK, SIR?!" The steampunk said finally, only realizing how loud she was once she was done with the phrase. "Mah-mah-mah deepest apologies, sir! Ah-Ah-- Sorry..." The female said, realizing how ridiculous she was sounding right now, rubbing her thick curls in disconfort. This was being a complete disaster!

Short post so this can be done quickly for ya ^__^;


Well this was quite particular. She was an interesting character, both visually and and the way she spoke. Ezra watched her calmly until her voice broke out in a yell which startled the Marquis. It was very off-putting at first, but instead he just chuckled, probably louder than he should have. She hadn’t given him her name yet, Ezra realized, and wondered if this stranger was serious. Ezra hadn’t ever met anyone at the borders before, and he was pretty sure not all of these sorts of interactions went. The mutt realized he wasn’t sure how to act or how to approach the situation. “No worries, this pack is a bunch of misfits, we accept all kinds,” It would be interesting to see how Vigilante would react to this new girl.

“I’m Ezra, and you’re standing in the kingdom of Cours des Miracles. You don’t seem to be from around here. If you want to join us, do you have any thing you could add to the pack’s survival? We’ve got blacksmiths and stablehands and knights… among others. You got a name?” The male wondered what his own role in the pack was, but the Marquis quickly put that thought to the side. This was not a time for thoughts like that.

Okies then <3


He laughed. The black and white male in front of her simply laughed out of awkwardness. It made her rather hesitant, since she wasn't sure if he was laughing with or of her. And, from the female's perspective, had a huge difference.

The male spoke again, and the way he ddi so calmed her nerves a bit. A pack of misfits, huh? A lucky day for her indeed. "...Ezra?" She spoke softly in her twisted British-into-American accent, as if testing his name. It was a rather odd name but, sicnerely, what would be the definition of odd? She smiled lightly in an almost sweet way. "What a pleasure to meet ye, sir! And Ah'm sorry, Ah believe introductions are in order... Ah'm Lisbet Lockwood. And yes, Ah ain't from here. I come from London, England though... Ah-Ah don't believe ye have... heard of it?" She said, though she wasn't sure if she should give him his hand. In the doubt, she simply bowed.

"And, um, for meh skills, Ah am a great technician and mechanic, and a good blacksmith..." The steampunk said, turning around and scavenging a small bot she have been working on from one of her bags. She spun the small key on the back of the machine, and lyed it on the ground. A second later, it started to move, the tiny wheels turning to make it go forward while metal sticks - supposed to be the legs of the toy - moved synchronized, like a horse walking. Well, a much stiffer, mechanical horse would, but still. "Ah can both fix old and broken mechanics, as well as making brand-new ones. In a nutshell, my pack had vowed to conserve and protect the human knowledge, so we, well, we've grownin their lifestyle. With that, Ah'm only especialized in these things only..." She said, knowing that, if she did not tell them she was a good-for-nothing besides being good with machines, they would find out, sooner or later.

I’ll PM meghann to get her butt over here <3


The Marquis listened to the bizarre female’s story, going over what she was saying in his mind just to make sure he understood. But then, Lisbet took out a mechanical… toy? The secui walked over nervously to it, sniffed it for a moment, and looked up at this stranger. Utterly boggled, the male continued to watch the girl as she spoke about her talents, which managed to confused him even more. “What’s a mechanic?” the wolfdog asked, feeling stupid for not understanding what she was talking about. “Well, Lisbet, that thing you’ve got there is very impressive. Our King, Vigilante, is a blacksmith as well, and I’m sure he would appreciate a comrade with the same skills that he has,” Ezra offered Lisbet a genuine smile (he could tell she didn’t like the chuckle, and he felt bad about that) before lifting his head, and letting out a sharp howl for Vigilante to come to the borders. Once he was done, he looked back at Lisbet. “By the way, I don’t know where London is, but I knew someone from Edinburgh if that means anything to you,” Ezra wondered for a moment where Theodoric had been lately, but quickly shook the idea out of his head.

Allllrighty-then!! 8D And thanks!! *hurries to work on other threads*


"What's a mechanic?" Well, how to explain it..... The female thought about how to explain it without making it sound crazy or too weird, and, instead of speaking, she decided it would be better to show it. <"Excuse me, sir..." The woman spoke softly and, with a quick swipe, she took the toy from the ground and took off the metal key from its back. In the small hole that appeared, she inserted a certain, confident index claw into it and unlocked the shell open, exposing the gears, springs, and other metal objects inside it and lowered it down to show for the Secui. They weren't working right now - not without the key -, but with the same claw she opened it up, she twisted a small gear around, which triggered all the rest to move accordingly, as if they were all marvelous synchorized dancers, each moving along with the rest in a perfect match. "This is a mechanism, first invented by humans but revived by me pack, mostly. A mechanic works on them, creating, mounting and improving them and making sure they work properly. And that's what Ah do." She explained simply, knowing he would understand this way.

Next thing he said shot her self-steem sky-high. Another blacksmith?! Most thrilling, she dared say. If not the least, of course. Well, surely they ought to work differently, seeing the steampunk only had experience working it quite smaller metal pieces, such as the gears and other mechanics she used on her work. Most of the other blacksmiths tended to work with big things, like weapons, horseshoes and the like. Her skills required much less strenght and experince, but a firm hand and a good variety of molds. After all, making uniform dents for each and every gear would take more patience than the British could ever summon, and even if she did, it would take ages to get one single gear done! Only the thought of all that work scared the life out of her.

""Edinburgh, ye say...?" The female though, scratching under her chin lightly in thought, then a lamp lit on the top of her head, along with a smile on her face. "Aye, yes! Ah know it, it's located on the same island London is, though Ah've never been there meself." The woman spoke with a small skip on her tone and, unluckily, on her feet. They started to tap ever so lightly in a weird, not very well-paced rythim. Quickly enough, she halted them midstream, before they could go any further into it. As if it wasn't enough, working and behaving as a human, a crazy-feeted wolf?! Yes, it might be a pack of misfits, but she might end up going over the edge with that much...
