Post:Rendall's shame had driven her away from her pack lands and home, that she had let that monster touch her was just too much, her home was a disaster and her life was a wreck. So she left with a letter in her home politly asking no one to enter. She then left to find herself for an entire month only to find her pack gone and her lands smelling of something completely different. Had her home been invaded? What happened to Noah? Fear struct her center and she almost ran into the starnge but familiar land. Her voice a loud shrill of fear as she called out. "Noah?! Noah!!!"

She circled once, twice, fear battling anger as she tried to decided to venture into the pack grounds. Her heart made her want to rush forward and find the one male who meant anything to her. However, her mind knew better than to go parading into pack lands unanounced and uninvited...... Fear won momentarily as she threw her head back and howled, telling anyone around her that she was here. Then stupidity kicked in and she cautiously approached daring the line of pack smell to keep her from her Noah. If she couldn't find him she would just give it up. Right now though she needed to know he was ok, then she needed to tell him something...something very important.

Then, the sound of approaching footsteps, was it Noah? Oh boy....She stepped back from the line she was so dangerously close to and waited anxiously. What was she doing? She was about to throw herself into a practical suicide just to find her friend.......but what choice did she have? She would go to the ends of the earth if it meant him being safe and sound. She rose her voice to an anxious light voice....."He.....Hello? Is....Is anyone there? Please I .....I'm trying to find someone...." Oh how stupid she was, she didn't care anymore, just as long as he was safe.

oooc; rawr! i has snagged this Big Grin

3+

Jace had been dozing when she heard the familiar yet distantly remembered howl, at first she wasn't sure she had heard anything as her ears swiveled and she listened for any indication that someone was there. She was about to lay her head back down when she heard a voice calling out. Getting to her feet she shifted into her optime form. The woman made a point of shifting at least three or four times every day and so was very quick at her transformations by now in order to keep herself ready for anything. Her optime form was slower than her other two but she could defend herself better from the higher position especially against another weapon bearing optime.

But the voice didn't sound angry it sounded upset and lost and scared which made the wolfdog move all the more faster to find whoever it was. Her eyes widened in surprise as Rendall came into sight, Jace had not seen her fellow former packmate in a long while and had assumed she had gone off by herself with the start of the new pack. As she got closer she called out to the black and white wolfess,

"Rendall!? Is that you? Where have you been girl!? We were worried about you" She jogged the last few steps and stood a few paces away from her separated by a boundary of pack law and scent. The female wished she could sweep the woman up into her arms and then drag her off to tell Noah that she was safe but Jace could not do that, bound by the law to keep intruders out. If Rendall stepped a paw over the invisible line then Jace would have to either chase her out or punish her for trespassing, both of which made her heart clutch painfully.

Yay hi!!! lol

Relief flooded through Rendall when she saw a familiar face come to greet her. "Jace! She almost ran to the woman to give her a hug but stopped repectively at the borderlines. "Oh...um, may I enter the packlands?" Perhaps things were not as bad as the woman thought. She remained curteous and waited patiently for the woman to answer. After a while though, Rendall answered the woman's question.. "Well I...I had to leave to do some soul searching. Things with me just weren't right....So seeing as though I just wasn't helping the pack at all, I left." Rendall sat back, thinking about the journey, and how she thought about that one day with Noah the entire time.

"Jace, if I maybe so kind as to ask, what has happened here? This use to be my familiar homeland but now I find that my cabin no longer belongs to me but to the pack of these lands....Is everyone alright?" Ren sat down for a moment, resting her legs, and missed the luxurious warmth of her cabin, it had been just dens for the last month, and it made her really appreciate what she had here back in the pack lands of......what was the name of the pack now a days? "Say....what pack owns these lands now?"

Welcome and congratulations! You are now free to begin posting as a pack member, even if your joiner thread is not yet completed.

Your first task as a member of Ichika no Ho-en is to create a thread within the InH subforum performing the Initiation Task as directed by the Ichikan who accepted your character. This thread must be within the Ichika no Ho-en subforum and must have at least one other InH member within it. Feel free to create an all-welcome thread, and refer to the link given above or to the leaders in PM if you have any questions! Smile

Of course, there's plenty more to do, too!:

Look through the Ichika territories for interesting environments and scenarios to create threads in.
Your character has been titled as a Dai-In, but if your activity is consistently good, they can be promoted up into the Specialized tier of ranks, where your character will have a job that is theirs and theirs alone for the entire pack. Take some time and look through the Specialized rank listings and get a feel for where your character might fit for when that time comes!
Glance through the pack game and get a feel for what you can post about that will earn your points towards things like icons, titles, player-drawn art and more!
If you haven't yet, take some time to thoroughly read through Ichika no Ho-en's culture and policies pages so you may get a better feel of how the pack works and what you may or may not want to aim for with your character.

Please don't hesitate to PM the the Ichika no Ho-en pack account with any questions or concerns you have at any time! If you would like to request posting tables, avatars or signatures made for you, you can politely do so in the Talents subforum. If you're feeling lost or confused about the game, don't hesitate to post a question in Roleplay Aides, or to seek out a Mentor! We're really happy to have you with us, and hope you'll enjoy Ichika no Ho-en!

Jace Wolfe · 07-21-2011, 05:34 PM

omg apologies for being so fail and taking forever D: Jace is an angry bunny, Big Grin

give her a hug

The moment Rendall asked Jace smiled and nodded feverently, "Yes! Yes! Of course you can! You're no threat." Here she laughed at her own little joke, but she was honestly glad to see Rendall was alive and well, her tail wagged behind her. She listened to the woman's explanation of where she had been with a thoughtful look on her face as Rendall asked what had happened though Jace's face darkened into a scowl and she snorted,

"A bit ago, Jefferson found a loner camping out on the borders of Phoenix Valley and he ended up joining. Then a few weeks later out of nowhere he calls a pack meeting and announces that he is stepping down as leader and that the new guy is now to be our leader. THEN, the new guy, Razekiel said that we were going to merge with Dahlia de Mai and move all the fucking way out here." There was a small growl in her voice, she tried to keep it in check for she wasn't angry with her pack sister.

"This new place is a lot bigger than our old home, it has more towns and human things in it as well, we are called Ichika no Ho-en. and we are a pack of fucking hippies." The patchwork female crossed her arms and sat down on the floor next to Rendall.

Rofl no problems here.

Once granted her request she ran to the woman giving her a big hug and nuzzling her happily. Ren joined her in laughing at the amall joke between them "No i most certainly am not." She chuckled and sat on the ground giving Jace an open invite to join her. She watched as Jace's face darkened..hoping the story would be a better one.

After giving the younger woman her full attention she sat back and thought for a while. "It is indeed strange that Jefferson would give up such a life to a loner, but I guess he must be overwhelmed no a days.......Still it doesn't sound like a very good idea to make the Valley wolves live such a non violent life.....Not that we were violent to begin with. I just hope this leader knows whats going on. Hopefully he does if Jefferson put him in charge."

Rendall's heart was troubled now for more reasons than one. "Well.....At least we have more room to build our homes.....I'm going to miss Pheonix Valley though......And my cabin....Oh well i guess things were bound to change eventually. Are the other wolves nice?" Rendalll thought for a while, nice a chance to meet new people. Had Noah met someone? A lovely Dahlia de Main girl? She became depressed with the thought and decided to change the subject. " So um....where does everyone live now a days?"

Saul Stormbringer · 07-27-2011, 05:11 PM

[[hello deary! unfortunately jace is swamped with posts at the moment, and obviously your joining thread is important to finish! So she asked me to take over with Saul to get it all finished up for you nicely! Permission for PP given]]

The black males urgent request rang clear in his ears as Saul picked up the scent of the wolfdog. He had never met the woman before, but he'd seen her from afar and knew her scent well enough from their travels up here. Temo had rushed towards him not long ago, a panicked expression on his face. While he hadn't told Saul exactly what was going on, the young agouti male agreed to help him search for his mate and, if he were to find her first, to send her the dark mans way. Saul was used to picking out delicate scents from the surrondings and it wasnt long before the male picked up on a thin spindle of her scent, leading out towards the borders. He took off at a rast and relentless pace, and it took him less than ten minutes to locate the female, talking to a lone wolf. Saul approached swiftly, not bothering to keep his distance. He knew that Temo needed to see her.

"Jace, I'm sorry for interupting. Temo found me and asked me to tell you that he really needs to see you- Its some kind of an emergency"

He watched as worry and concern flashed over her face. She moved swiftly, a quick apology to the female behind him before she filled him briefly in on what was going on. Rendall, a former Valley woman, returned from wence she came. Saul nodded softly as Jace backed out, turning and running back towards the main bulk of the pack. "I'm terribly sorry about that Rendall, it must be important for Temo to call her away like that. I'm Saul and I'll finish off where Jace left." He said, trying to organise his thoughts. Now Jace had left, it was difficult to know what she'd actually asked the female. Although since she was a previous Valley man, he would assume she was fit for life as an Ichikan.

"I apologise once more. Now, Rendall, can you tell me if you are convicted of any crime?"

He asked, the fundamental question they all had to ask. The situation was awkward, but it would be over soon.

Rendall · 07-30-2011, 02:19 AM

Hello not a problem ^.^ she might be a little stand-off ish at first but after knowing you a little better she'll warm right up ^.^

Rendall nodded and smiled sadly as she watched her friend disapear to the call of her mate. A part of her wished that she had someone to call to her....but she figured she had ruined it by now. She sighed and prepared herself to meet the male who had come to greet her. She smiled and dipped her head down in greeting. However, things got very awkward when the male immediatly asked her a very personal question. "Um.....the only crime I've been convicted of is being born with an unusual coat color. Though.....I can't see why anything I have done in my past may effect my life and future here, but, I guess if you must ask it then...anything else personal you wish to ask?"

Though she felt offended that the male didn't even bother to know her she understood the idea of learning important things about people you wanted to live with. She sighed and looked at the male "Forgive me, I'm not used to being asked about my past. No I've committed no crime in the laws of our land and home." She sat down, tired and tried to be patient with the male, she wanted to get this over with and find Noah and explain everything to him. Instead she cured her impatience by observing the male, waiting for his next question.

The boy seemed old enough to be a man but not quite yet. He looked much like a lighter version of her, a typical coloring of a healthy timber. Though she was sure that when he stood in sunlight, he would stay the same color. She began to warm alittle to the male, though her impatience still endured. She didn't blame the polite young male, after all he was just doing what he was suppose to. He reminded her much of the many young males she had met in her life. Especially Bernard, her favorite Irish wolf. The once crush who had given her a feather and a hand crafted bow to protect her and remind her of his compassion for her. She sighed and prepared herself for another moment of awkwardness.

Saul Stormbringer · 07-30-2011, 10:39 AM

[[no problem dearest! apologies for the lack of a table <33]]

The female in front of him seemed friendly enough and a smile graced her white bleached face. However, as his questions rang true, her face dropped and offense took hold there. Of course, there was nothing Saul could do to aleviate her discomfort- though she had been a previous member of Phoenix Valley, he treated her as another loner and all loners were asked the question he asked now. Her words surprised him however, in their hostility. It was not his fault that he had to ask these questions- while he had never had any tutoring in how to deal with joining members back in Dahlia, Nayru and Razekiel had made sure that all members holding a prestige rank knew, down to the word, what they had to ask. The joining process was so specific, they couldnt exactly go making it up. Saul opened his mouth to answer her, but she seemed to understand then the need for this information and buckled. She asked for forgiveness and, in a much more moderate tone, answered that she had committed no crimes.

"You are forgiven, Rendall. Perhaps you will not be so rash in your hostility when you look for the reasons I have asked you these questions. Regardless, I am pleased you have been convicted of no crimes."

He said, mostly kind words used as a rebuke. Insubordination was not something that Ichikans really dealt with- though those in the prestige and leader ranks were elevated above those in the specialised ranks, there was a certain sense of respect for all members of Ichika, no matter their rank. Saul had yet to encounter an Ichikan who had been rude or forthcoming with their 'seniors'. Still, it was clear Rendall, who had been met by Jace and therefore an old friend, had been caught off guard by the immediately personal question and had reacted instinctively. As soon as she had paused to think about her words, she had realised her folly and sought to correct it. She showed that she had a good heart, even if she was a little rash. Green eyes allowed some mirth back into his posture as he inclined his head.

"As we have established, I do not know you. And therefore I am unaware of your skills and interests within the pack. Could you tell me of your skills, and how you intend to live within Ichika. We have many jobs that still need to be filled, which rank do you wish to hold?"

He asked, keeping his voice light and easy. It was hard to gain the right balance in these situations- one had to be firm and directful with their questions, but not so blunt as to cause offense. Still, he was sure both of their ignorance had been taken into account.

Rendall · 08-01-2011, 12:47 PM

Rendall was relieved to be forgiven for her rashness but still she wanted this done and over. She smiled as the male asked her another question, glad that it wasn't one so personal. " Well, Saul, I've been trained to be a very good hunter as well as a scout. When I lived in P.V I was, for a short time, Ambassador and I hope to gain a standard much like that with do time should I prove myself to be useful as such. I honestly though, wish to hold any rank that will allow me to protect my pack. A warrior by terms, I feel that is where my skills are my best. Weather it be scouting pack borders or whatever else is needed."

She paused for a second, thinking over other skills that she has. "Well, I do wish to also share that I'm also known to the world of agriculture, I grew my own crops and herbs when I lived with my old pack. I was also going to start raising cattle and horses but that fell short when the packs merged." She thought some more, she wasn't normally a wolfess to live such a docile life, she loved adventure and many other things along with it. However, should her pack need her in other places, she was capable of other things. No she couldn't do it all, like healing, it wasn't really her forte, and neither was anything of the arts, no, she just liked doing things outdoors, and when it came down to something that she needed, well, she either went out and got it, or she made it.

"I'm afraid thats all, I'm one who can tend to land and to battle, but otherwise, I'm not much of a healer, and other than clothing or furniture I'm not really a creative one. I'm a good hunter and can preserve food for those times when food is little in the winter. Other than that though, the real reason I am here is to find someone, as well as a family again. I wish to show my usefulness to my pack in th best ways I can." She waited hoping that her honesty and her skills were enough to land her a spot in this new pack of the land.

Saul Stormbringer · 08-03-2011, 09:14 AM

[[Hey dear, could you give me the names of the ranks Rendall wants? First and Second choice please!]]
Rendall began speaking and Saul was happy to let her talk. She was clearly relieved that she didnt have to answer any more personal questions. Saul was interested as well, that she appeared to be a warrior. He knew that Nayru was well trained with a blade and she was stealthy besides. He also knew that Arye was one of their two possible scouts and that she was female. He shouldnt have been surprised, but Saul couldnt help the pleasently interested face turn into one of pleased surprise. They could probably use some more defensive wolves now that Saluce was gone. He knew that Gideon held the Envoy tier Prestige rank and he was pleased for his brother. But there were more ranks that needed to be filled and he was happy that there would be someone else to help out around here. He was about to speak, before she continued once more, describing her skills with herbs and planting also.

"You have many useful skills Rendall, all of which will be very useful to Ichika. I am certain you're going to fit right back in with your old pack mates, and I'm hopeful that you will become good friends with the former Dahlians amoung us, myself included."

He smiled softly towards her. For all her prickly answers, he could see that she was a good spirit and would fit well in Ichika. He paused to gather his thoughts then and Rendall resumed speaking. Saul chuckled softly, nodded once more. "I understand Rendall... But you must not worry. Ichika is a pack based on family and cohesion- if you cannot do something, there is certain to be somebody who can, and somebody who is willing to help you. I hope you find who you are looking for." He added, before slightly alerting the Niao-Ko Creed in his mind. She had provided no last name, so it would have to be adjusted slight.

"If you could repeat after me- I am Rendall, I am an Ichikan. I seek love in my heart, knowledge in my mind, and wisdom in my spirit. I will love my fellow Ichikans and know them as family to the fullest I can; I will devote myself to my duties and learn from my work and the work of others; I will try my best to embrace all walks of life, faith and love. I understand that if I devote myself to love, knowledge and wisdom I will learn my path to true personal happiness, and find my place in the circle of life." He spoke slowly, pausing after each sentence to allow her to repeat the words he had just spoken. "Welcome to Ichika, Rendall" He offered when she had completed the Creed.

"I have a job for you- I would like you to plant some flower seeds throughout Ichika. You will feel where to plant them. Why not use it to meet some more people? Your initiation task must be completed in the company of another Ichikan."

He offered her a small bag of flower seeds that Eclipse had given him a few days ago. He had no idea what kind of seeds they were, but he was sure they would be colourful. He waited for a few more moments to see if she had any questions. If she had none, the male would turn and walk back into Ichika, trying his best to think little about what Temo's emergency was.

Rendall · 08-07-2011, 01:57 PM

[html]

Sure thing! First choice was Banzan, something that she'll have to work for of course since its a prestige rank, but kenpo, (which she s now down as) Is perfect, it was my second choice ^.^

The woman happily repeated the male "I am Rendall, I am an Ichikan. I seek love in my heart, knowledge in my mind, and wisdom in my spirit. I will love my fellow Ichikans and know them as family to the fullest I can; I will devote myself to my duties and learn from my work and the work of others; I will try my best to embrace all walks of life, faith and love. I understand that if I devote myself to love, knowledge and wisdom I will learn my path to true personal happiness, and find my place in the circle of life."The feeling of acceptance was strong inside her, warming her heart even further.

She nodded respectively and thanked him quietly for his wishing of luck on her search. "I only hope the one I find will hold forgiveness in his heart for my doings." She looked down at her task and took the bag of seed with great pride "Come blooming time you shall see them everywhere you look." She stood again to look at the male, he was truely nice, and he reminded her much of Jefferson. Rendall hoped for a better future of them unlike their meeting.

She thought about who would accompany her and figured she would tag along anyone who cared to join her. Rendall looked at the little seeds in wonder and decided she would make it her best effort yet so that she could give something to the Ichikans as a thank you for allowing her to stay with them.
