- Rio Marino - 09-05-2011 [html] Hello =)) Nani’s room? She had been putting this off for a long time now. She had been thinking to do all her traveling and visiting while she was still a lone wolf, but now that she put more thought into it, she could still do all those things even when she was a pack member. Rio knew her Mom would be proud to have her in the pack, and she would also be able to take on a position to help her find her lifetime goal quicker. Rio walked down the winding halls; she was just returning from a nice walk in the territory. What a nice walk it was! It was needed to clear her brain and have her think about what was really important now and what could wait until later. She figured joining and getting her life together was important for now, and finding Harlowe and her revengeful tasks were better for later. When she arrived at Nani’s doorway, she knocked on the rock three times. She did live here, but still. Her mom had her own pups to take care of, and now Rio just wanted to give her some privacy at the least. ”Momma? I wanted to talk to you for a minute…” It was important to her, but if need be it could wait until another day. If it waited more, though, she would have time to change her mind, and that wouldn’t be a good thing. Atleast, not a good thing for her packmanship issue anyway. It would be a good thing for her other plans, but those plans had ranked to the lowest on the importance scale. Rio stood, waiting patiently at the door for her mother to answer, not even sure if she was in there because she hadn’t even looked inside the den. .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 09-05-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> Sure! I'm kind of doped up on pain medicine right now, excuse me if this post is a bit short. Gonna go to bed in a minute :]
- Rio Marino - 09-06-2011 [html] James, you’re killin me with your shorty posts – what happened? (if you don’t mind me asking O_o) – Hope you don’t mind my PP with Severus ? Correct me on anything. Rio peered in to see her Mom resting with Severus. Nani sat up, placed the pup on the bed and came over. The pup barked in Rio’s direction. She smiled at the young wolf, and then focused on her Mom. ”I can come back another time if you’re busy…” She entered the room slowly, not wanting to seem like she was barging in, but not wanting to stay out in the hallway either. Her Mom's den was the biggest probably in the whole cave system. She had the best of everything that she wanted. She even had a closet, if she wanted to make it one. It was kind of like those human 'walk-in closets' that she'd seen on an old real estate brochure once. Most of the page was frayed away, but the walk-in closet article was still there. She couldn't read that well, and it had taken her a good ten minutes to figure out what the bold print had said, but in time she figured out it had said 'walk-in closet'. It was something that Naniko's back den reminded her of, but she never mentioned anything about it. She sat on Naniko’s bed, and picked up her little brother in her hands. She stroked what was starting to grow of his fur. She didn’t even know the little boy, but loved him dearly already. As she probably did the others, as well. While still stroking her little brother, she looked up at her mom, ”I want to join Anathema and stay permanently.” It came out bluntly, but she really didn’t know how to sugar coat it. She placed the pup in her lap and used her arms to shield it from falling. The little pup began to bite her fingers, probably trying to suckle but it didn’t feel much like suckling. She suddenly began to feel bad for her mom, as she had to feed them this way. Her poor nipples. ”I understand that there’s a small ritual that goes along with joining, and that too can wait if you really want it to…” She was so concerned about her mother’s time. She didn’t want to take away any time that she needed, to be with the pups. .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 09-07-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> Lol! It was like 10 words shorter than yours P I stayed out in the sun too long and got a really, really bad sunburn. Sun poisoning, with blisters and just..extreme pain. Nausea, fever, all that fun stuff. The only correction that I can see is that wolf pups’ eyes open at between 10-13 days, or so. So he can definitely see ^^ Also, updating your rank! :3 She was proud of what all of her children had accomplished in their lives so far. Naniko had been forced into responsibility at a young age when her adopted mother had abandoned her and her two siblings and had made Naniko provide for them. She had received an occasional gift from Laruku and Conri had come to help her after a while, but it had still been quite a responsibility for someone so young. She didn’t know what she would have done without Conri back then, despite the monster that he had turned into. She hoped that none of his children ended up like him, murderers or rapists…so far, from what she knew, none of them had.
- Rio Marino - 09-19-2011 [html] Well, you made up for it with this post =D andddd that suckssss -___- I’ve always wondered why people got fevers and crap from sunburn- now I know whyyy. Owww -- by the way, I added a paragraph of useless thought into my post before, so it could reach 300 words... Hope that's okay... I have a good muse tonight Rio continued to let her little brother bite her fingers, and continued to look at her mother, too. His little teeth were sharp, and she winced here and there from a hard bite. At least he knew how to bite if ever need be. Rio smiled as her mom spoke good things about her. She nodded after she was done, ”Thank you, Momma.” She was happy to finally call Anathema home, sad that she hadn’t seen her dad yet, and angry that she hadn’t found Harlowe yet. Maybe she would confide in her Mom about this subject in time. Severus continued to bite her index finger, and she stroked his small head with her thumb. She was relieved to hear that she didn’t have to be cut. She didn’t like pain. There was so much of it in her life, emotional and physical- why would she want more? So many scars she had tucked away under what little fur grew over them. Good thing she had a thick coat, or she would have been littered with them, which she was. They were just overgrown with other fur that they were barely visible. Why would she want more scars? ”That’s kind of a relief.” She admitted smiling and laughing gently as she gazed down at Severus. Then she looked back up to Naniko, ”Anything close to yours will do. Big or small doesn’t really matter to me as long as I have enough room to live.” Finally, she’ll be able to have somewhere to call her own and it would be in close proximity to those she loved. It would be a den that she would call hers, and no one that she didn’t want in there would go into it. She would have somewhere to put her findings, and store what food she wanted stored. It would all be hers, and only hers. .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 09-20-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> No, that's totally alright I don't mind at all!
- Rio Marino - 09-28-2011 [html] Ok cool =] Rio pondered the idea of having her own den to decorate and sleep comfortably in. The idea intrigued her enough to make her smile. The thought of sleeping alone frightened her, though. It wasn’t like she had a door that she could close and lock. Her enemies could walk through the halls of the caves just as easily as the wind came in. Sure, there were wolves patrolling the borders, but what if the intruder slipped passed them? They could just as easily come in through her leather flap for a door and slit her throat, or even worse: rape her. At least if she was dead, she wouldn’t have to experience a stranger or even a loved one intruding in on her space ever again. She preferred to be killed over being raped, again. She would take death any day, which wasn’t something one considered in their every day lives, but Rio did. She did every time she encountered something dangerous. She sorted out her priorities and considered what most wouldn’t. When Naniko’s voice chimed back into Rio’s life, her attention was caught again. She smiled in her mother’s direction, ”Sounds fine, Mom. Thank you.” She was truly grateful that Naniko had done so much to help her. Rio was glad that she didn’t hold any grudges, and neither did Nani. She wondered what kind of neighbors would be in the area of her new den. Would there be any interesting, new wolves to make friends with? Or even boys… Rio hadn’t thought about a mate, or even a companion for those lonely nights. It would be nice to start looking. ”Halifax sounds nice, too. We’ll go whenever you can find someone to watch the pups and whenever you’re not too busy.” She expected Naniko to be busy all the time, being alpha and all. She wondered if the Angela ever actually left Anathema grounds yet. She probably has, but how long ago? And for how long? .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 09-28-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> Can we close this in a post or two? I gotta close some older ones.
- Rio Marino - 10-17-2011 [html] Correct me on anything.. and this could get interesting =D Rio nodded as she picked up her little brother and set him on the bed behind her. He was in the middle so he would have no threat of falling off. He lifted his head and growled softly at her. Rio peeked at him over her shoulder, and got up from the bed. ”Sounds cool.” It would be nice mother-daughter bonding time. She didn’t really know much about Naniko now, and maybe a trip to Halifax would enable her to learn more about Mom now. Of course, she remembered what she was like back when she was a pup, but so much had changed. Certainly Naniko had to have been a different person by now. ”Momma…” Even though now probably wasn’t the best time to bring up matters like this one, but the question had been bubbling inside her ever since she had remembered the subject, ”Where is Harlowe?” She would rather like to know now, rather than worry about it later when she was alone in her den with a leather flap of a door and no real security aside from her neighbor who would most likely mind their business if they heard a noise. ”I’m sorry to bring it up… It’s just that… I’d like to know.” She had avoided talking about the subject the whole time since she had returned. She was afraid it would bring up bad feelings in her or bring up old hurt in her mother. She didn’t feel any worse now, as she said it, but she didn’t know what Naniko was feeling, either. She didn’t know who else Harlowe had hurt, and she wondered. She wouldn’t dare ask out of the blue, but if it came up in the conversation they were about to have she would definitely mention something about the question that was bothering her. It was only a matter of time before matters would come to the surface, and they did. .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 11-14-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>
- Rio Marino - 11-16-2011 [html] Sorry >_< We could’ve ended itt, but we’ll make this short =] She’s going to be mad at Naniko because in her denying mind- its Naniko’s fault… and she didn’t care. Lol =] Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the word dead. Her mouth hung open as she looked at her mother with a shocking expression. Dead?! How could this be?! Her eyes were saddened, and they would produce tears if they could. She did not whimper or say anything else, but she did close her mouth. Rio’s breathing was shallow as she tried to calm herself. She began to pace back and forth in short distances. Harlowe, dead. It was a shock to her, and even through all the misery he put her through, he was still her brother and she still loved him unconditionally despite the evil plans she had for him. All that left her mind now and all she could think about was a world without him, even though she had been living in one for so long. Just the thought made her sick, and the sad part was that it wasn’t just some sick thought- this was reality. Even though she hadn’t seen him in a long time and wished she wouldn’t for an even longer one, she didn’t wish his death. She would never wish his death. And now he was just that, dead. And her mother seemed so calm about it, too calm. Her arms had been crossed, and her head was in her hand as she paced, but she lifted her head to stare at her mother with contradicting eyes. ”How could you let that happen?!” This was all too confusing to her at the moment. She wanted to blame the world, and to start with: her mother. A growl rose in her throat and she stopped pacing to face her mother, who stood a few feet away. ”How dare you!” Daring wasn’t the point here. A whimper escaped Rio’s throat as sad, angry eyes glared at Naniko. She looked away and took another shallow breath before leaving without another word. She stomped through the hallway pissed off and confused at the same time. The situation was probably dire, but how can a mother let her own child die like that and not show remorse? It confused Rio to the fullest, and she did not want to see her mother for a long time, or until she figured out what it was that made her blame Naniko in the first place. Rio turned a corner and was out of sight, in case Naniko did decide to look for her out of her doorway. She wouldn’t be found. .rio-a01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } p.template-credit {text-indent:0px; text-align:center; font-size:10px; font-style:italic; width:500px; text-align:center; margin:0px auto;} .rio-a01 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .rio-a01 b {color:#A2152C; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .rio-a01 { background-color:#FC7CB2; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/V8Vs6.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; outline:1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#1B2127; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:500px; text-align:left; margin:0px auto; } .rio-a01 .inner {margin:10px 10px 70px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/meCgB.png); background-repeat:repeat; background-position: top center; border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>[/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 11-25-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style>
