- Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-18-2012 [html] WC: 462 OOC: She's in Lupus form for now, her bow and quiver are next to her and she has a purple scarf around her neck Eclipse had been flustered by the whole of the party that had gone on in the other pack. She wasn’t one for thick crowds and it showed. She was finally back home, yet it still didn’t feel like a home. She hadn’t even picked out a house for herself. She had been sleeping near the trees in her lupus form, not sure what to do about it all. Her sleep started to become restless and worrisome, at least for her. She caught a scent, it was so familiar and she brightened at it as she knew exactly who it was. She ran through the fields full of snow, her tiny puppy legs hurried through the parts of the snow that had already been walked upon. Her eyes were bright her tail was wagging furiously. “Daddy! Daddy daddy!!” She cried in happiness and was filled with the purest of joys the little girl would ever be. There he was the beautiful golden brown coat of her father, his purple eyes welcome and his arms stretched out wide as she tried to run faster. Then a black wall rose between them just when she was about to reach him. She had almost stepped into it, but her instinct made her stop before she could, then she saw the sadness, and she cried as her father turned away from her. His eyes pleading, and she cried out screaming his name asking him to come back, knowing if she went into that black void she could never return. Her eyes shot open as she heard her own terror coming from her living lips. The woman was still by the tree she had fell asleep. Near the garden where she was keeping an eye on the growth of the plants. Her heart pounded and her eyes wide. It was daybreak and the sun was just barely over the horizon. She couldn’t see from here but because it wasn’t entirely light out, she knew where the sun was compared to the earth. Sitting up she shook herself of the leaves that clung to her body. She had to let her heart stop beating so fast before she could think of moving too far from her spot. She only had that dream when she was a pup, and she thought she got over it, but now it was coming back full strength, and she had almost touched the darkness, what would happen if she touched it? Would she become like her grandfather? Was that what happened to her own father, he had let the darkness touch him. She couldn’t say for sure, and all she could do was stare at the bow she lay on the ground after she changed. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-20-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-20-2012 [html] WC: 241 OOC: Dun dun duuuunn The shock of the dream was ending and she heard someone come through the trees. her ears perked unsure if anyone heard her cry... who couldn’t? The whole village must be awake because of it. Through the trees came a young man, lookign quite grumpy indeed and she wasn’t sure who he was though he had the look of a young man not any older than she. She rarely met anyone around her age, though the ones she had met always left her or she left them. Whatever the case when the man came she felt a piece of mind she hadn’t when she was alone, but it seemed it would end soon. She couldn’t have that not now, she couldn’t be alone. “Please... don’t go, I’m scared.” This wasn’t something the woman would normally admit, but this was the first time she had such a dark dream that felt so real, and the first time she’d “seen” her father in over a year. It was disheartening and she didn’t want to be alone. She bit her lip and looked with pleading eyes. Whatever he did she wouldn’t blame him at all if he did just turn around. She probably was the one who woke him. She was lost for words now, but if he could stay at least for a little while untill she felt herself again she would never ask anything from him again. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-20-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-21-2012 [html] WC: 280 OOC: This is going a different way than planned lol. she'll calm down... I hope He was making his way off to wherever he had been before her outcry. Now she felt foolish as the sun grew over the horizon. He saw her rub at his eyes.... he must still be tire... and she considered letting him go back home, but she wanted to talk to someone and as he turned and moved back towards her she sighed with relief.She looked down letting the silence fill the air. He didn’t have to talk, just staying there letting her calm down from the dream was enough for now. His question made her cringe a little and she looked at him, her face sad. “I’m scared because... because I almost stepped into the darkness. Because …. I know i’ll turn bad if I do.” She left out that her father had already been immersed in it, in the dream he had been and it didn’t have to be her father it could have been someone who looked like him, but she FELT it was him. It didn’t matter now the dream was gone and so was he. all she had now was the memories of him. “I I know that it is bad but every time i get closer, what if I turn bad? Like my granddad, and what if I hurt people I don’t want to hurt people.” She said loudly. This was the first time ever she let out any type of feeling to anyone about her family's past. She didn’t even know this mans name and here he was hearing the worst of her fears right now. What he must think of her! .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-21-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-22-2012 [html] WC: 318 OOC: She felt horrible as she finished... she looked down and tried not to look at the man. He seemed to think she feared the dark itself, which was not entirely untrue, but she faced that fear well enough. She was sleeping outside after all. She shook her head.. “I am terribly sorry, I shouldn’t have burdened you with such talk...” She said and looked down. He seemed extremely uncomfortable as he tried to make her feel better. Never in her life had she let that slip from her mouth and she knew she should have shut it when she started, and yet now he knew, but in a way didn’t know. The darkness wasn’t the night but a part of her spirit, something she knew she could never get rid of because of whatever happened in her family history. She wouldn’t elaborate anyway and when he changed the subject she felt grateful. “I am Eclipse Soulstorm. I have been nothing but Eclipse to everyone else.” Just thinking about her name just proved that her life would be an endless amount of turmoil Why did her parents name her such a thing? Whatever the case she smiled at him in a manner of thanking him. “So.. you are related to Skye? I met her, she helped me... if it weren’t for her I don’t think my horse would have made it through her birth....” She said, remembering the very first day she joined. Now the colt was older and lively. She smiled, though it wasn’t her doing that helped bring him into the world, though it seemed natural enough that the horse was able to do most of the work on her own and Eclipse was just scared at the time and didn’t know what to do, she never had any experience with that situation whatsoever. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-23-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-24-2012 [html] WC: 303 OOC: I SURVIVED!!! His words were wise, though he didn’t know how hard it was to run from the pulling drag of such a force. She only nodded and he seemed to be trying to get her off the depressing situation. It would help she knew. His mention that Skye was his mother she wagged her tail a little. She nodded at his question of the horses being well. They were thriving and happy, that was good enough. She had thought she was bringing them to the woman that once owned them only to find out that the owner had passed on and her family somewhere else. So now the two were in her care. She brightened a bit as he mentioned a book she could read. “That would be lovely! I have never known about such things before.” She said her tail wagging a little. Of course she couldn’t read now and she didn’t feel much like changing quite yet. She enjoyed her lupus form every once in awhile and she wasn’t sure how the culture of this pack would react to her changing in front of them. She tilted her head as he spoke of …. what was he speaking of? Rain? She smiled. “I have not really found a place of my own yet... I don’t mind sleeping outside. Rain doesn’t bother me I have been.... how should I say it... “roughing it” for a long time.” She said with a quick nod of her head as she couldn’t really shrug her shoulders. She wondered if he never slept outdoors before. It was wonderful to just take time off and be a wolf and just go wild. She wasn’t going to ask him that though she didn’t want to offend him in any way. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-25-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-25-2012 [html] WC: 415 OOC: Well she thinks he's strange back!! “My mother taught me to read and about most books that there are. I just didn’t know there was a book about the mood of a horse and how well it was in words. I do find that fascinating. I usually read fiction books. I like the stories as they make this life seem … well easier to live.” She said. As he pointed out his concern she laughed a little. She didn’t want to be rude, but it was not something she heard everyday. A wolf saying it wasn’t good to be living outdoors. She said. The main reason she didn’t pick one out was because she didn’t know whos’ was who’s and though they marked their homes in one way or another it wasn’t always by scent marking. Not the kind one claimed a spot. She stood up smiling. “I hope you don’t mind me changing first, it’s far better to go around the town on two feet.” She didn’t normally hide but she didn’t know the customs of this pack. Ichika it wasn’t seen as offensive to change in front of family, though she didn’t care to change in front of strangers and no matter how much of a pack member this one was, he was still at least an aquaintence. She hid behind the tree to change. Her limps growing and changing form, the fur on her head grew long as her neck slimmed down and her back straightened and flattened. She untied her scarf from her neck and tied her hair up as she walked back out from behind the tree. “The sun is almost up, you shouldn’t need a light anymore.” Eclipse said. She didn’t think about how dark the houses would be but being a wolf she had night vision and a speck of light could easily help her see in the dark. Him being a wolf as well must have the same thing. She looked at him quizically not sure why he felt the need for a candle but she shrugged. “Nevermind, you are helping me, you can do whatever you want.” She said with a smile and waited for him to lead her to where he needed to go. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-25-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-25-2012 [html] WC: 378 OOC: Don't blame me blame her parents!!!! His posture changed entirely as she walked out from behind he tree and she could see as he looked away and started taking off his coat. She tilted her head a little and took it frowning. Did they really care about dress around here? Did they not enjoy the freedom of their own fur? She sighed as she put it on and closed it. If it would make him happy she supposed.... but what about what made her happy? She shoved that thought away and gave him a pleasant smile. “I don’t normally wear this stuff, didn’t know how hot it got.” She blinked at the man. He was such an odd creature indeed, but she said nothing. How could he not be able to use his own night vision? Even within a house the sun can enter it and brighten any room. She shrugged and waited to follow his lead, now clothed in a strange coat she would be glad to give back as soon as they parted. She wasn’t used to such articles and this one kind of made her itch but she looked happy and wagged her tail hoping he was now comfortable with her around him. She was ready to explore and see what she could get. “I did see that the houses were well taken care of... how is that, I see human houses all the time and they are well... they are all in bad shape, but here it seems they are near new!” She said trying to make idle conversation with the strange man. The more she got to know him the more she wanted to just pull him out into the wilderness to show him that it was fun to be just a wolf. To frolic play, get dirty. She was one for staying clean but there were occasions when the need to let one’s hair loose was there and she allowed it and went wild. It seemed this boy barely ventured out of town. He was afraid of what the outdoors could do to him... and that the wolf body was something that needed covering. She sure hoped that the world didn’t fill with wolves who had thoughts like this. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-27-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-27-2012 [html] WC: 483 OOC: Lol i have no idea waht to pick for the silly girl XDDD Eclipse was a mingler. She did not deny human things, but neither did she renounce her wolf ways. They were a part of her as all the human things that littered the lands. She would utilize everything, though she said nothing herself. It was not her place to tell this man what he should do. He did argue that it would make it warm for her in the winter and she couldn’t help but laugh. “Ah my fur keeps me nice and toasty. But this scarf was a present from a woman whom I met in the Ethereal. She had met me before and it was in AniWaya, she escorted me out. We met again and she gave me this scarf. I cherish all my gifts.” Eclipse said, brushing her hand over the purple scarf, yes it had plenty of power in the fact that it has been a gift from a near stranger. She smiled happily remembering the meal they shared together that night. She was brought back to reality as he explained what happened to the houses. She nodded, could he really be that young? He was younger than she? “I remember that, it was chaos in Dahlia. I was only very young but I got into trouble and not just by my parents I ran into a building that caught on fire because something happened. It was a bad winter. Though after... the snows were taller than me.” That time was her first memories. She had very few but of snatches here and there. No she had been two months at that time and she was as curious and always into deadly things as ever. She waited for him outside his own home, thinking about the time she was strung up in a tree from one of her fathers traps. She was lucky it was a live trap and Saul had been the one to find her quite quickly. Upon Roberts return Eclipse thought, but she wasn’t sure herself as to how she could answer his question. “I...I have only always shared a pack home. With my family in Dahlia, it was quite big and there were so many... and then in Ichik.... well It was a hotel my cousins and other family lived there... I don’t now how these small houses are suppose to really work.” The woman shrugged but she looked around to see which area could hold the best potential. “Lets.... go this way.” She pointed straight through the house that Robert had just exited from, but she knew there were houses back there and she could take a look at something to see if she could actually choose one. She wondered if she didn’t choose one if he would keep telling her it would be for the best. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 06-27-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 06-29-2012 [html] WC: 454 OOC: She's gonna cling onto his company for a while bwahahahaha “My parents were gone when I first shifted... my shift wasn’t really worth a reward... I think my friend Anu, she let me in Crimson Dreams to live there for a whie, she saw me change, but it just... it didn’t feel like I thought it would. Like all magical and wonderful. I suppose everyone has their own reactions to the change.” The girl said. The change itself seemed like a magical happening to her, it was so hard how a wolf could change forms in a matter of minutes, but it was a quality she liked about her and her canine companions. Without the hands that becoming a luperci gave, they wouldn’t be able to cook or garden, or even open a door. Thinking she remembered how tall the snow was and shook her head. “No The snow was pretty tall. It went up to my fathers waist I think. He had to make a path just so I could get through until it melted.” She said in her defense, but followed him as he spoke of small houses. She wasn’t sure she wanted a small house. Or even a big one if she was going to live alone. They seemed so lonely without her family, but she had to take chances and make sure she did what she could. She surely would need it when rains started. As much as she was a wolf staying dry was a plus. He pointed at a stone house and she tilted her head. It was nice and small. “Can we go in and look? I wouldn’t know if i liked it just by the outside, though it is very pretty. She said looking over at Robert. She was asking a lot she knew and he probably didn’t want to even be with her right now, though she liked the company and wanted to continue on, he did seem a bit content in showing her the houses. “Well sleeping under a tree and outside, you can see all the stars in the sky, I’ve seen a few shooting stars as well and the noise helps me sleep sometimes. When I was in the hotel the noises of my family were soothing and I liked it, knowing I had people by me.” She explained contently. She wondered if the boy had ever spent the night outside or if he stayed inside. In fact she had seen him briefly at the party in Casa, but other than that she had seen hide nor hair of the young man and she was usually around the town or near the fields with her horses. .freetable1 b {font-weight:bold; color:#fff;} .freetable1 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freetable1 {margin:0 auto; width:500px; background-color:#7BB675; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/AeAfO.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #1F571A; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; padding: 130px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#3B7835; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Robert Frost Collins - 07-01-2012 [html] [/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-01-2012 [html] Word Count » 431 :: Out of character text here. He was opening up to her a little more and it made her feel less guilty about having him acompany her. She wouldn't’ have found a house if he didn’t persuade her. Though she didn’t need a big push at all. He seemed to misinterpret her words of her first change, but she did not really care to correct him. At least he had the reaction she wanted to have and she smiled as he spoke wishing to remember his first shift. She knew it had lost the magic after changing so often. “Have you ever tried climbing onto your roof? Even in a clearing like this if you lay somewhere outside you can see the vast universe. It’s absolutely amazing!” “It is, they are very rare and sometimes hard to see, but when the moon is hidden and the stars shine their brightest, sometimes you can see something move across.” She said. The stars were wonderful and they were the only things she couldn’t reach. She was no bird that could just fly up and touch them. She wondered why birds even sat in branches to sing. She would be flying the who time doing her business as she needed to. Smiling as he opened the door for her and held it open she entered first. Though it wasn’t that bright outside it was far darker in here and her eyes needed adjusting but she moved in the house far enough for Robert to follow her. It was dark and the scent was musty. It seemed as though it had not been lived in for some time. Her eyes soon caught glimpses of things here and there in the shadows. The home was plain. Most of the stuff in it had been looted out to join another wolf’s home. That was fine with her. She wanted her own stuff, though she could tell it had old furnishings, possibly from the very last human owners that lived her. The color of the furnature was hard to tell until Robert would come in with his candle. She supposed, one good thing about having it with them at least. .free-a41 .ooc {font-style:italic;} .free-a41 .wc {text-transform: uppercase; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal;} .free-a41 p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .free-a41 b {color:#6f6868; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .free-a41 {font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#7a364d; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; text-align: justify; margin:0px auto; margin:5px auto; width:470px;} .free-a41 .inner{background-color:#cfcfcf; background-image:url(http://anna.sleepyglow.net/images/gifts/free-a41.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:200px 0px 10px 0px; border:0px solid #fff; width:470px; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; margin:0 auto;} </style> - Robert Frost Collins - 07-01-2012 [html] [/html] |
