Stepping out the drunk wolf blinked his eyes. It was so bright out! Stumbling he wrapped his arms around the nearest tree, holding on as tightly as he could. Blinking a few more times he managed to make out the moon. It was just a sliver! Why was it so blasted bright? He stepped forwards, looking over the shadows. Nothing much was going on out here. Taking another swig he spewed out a string of curses, to both Alaki and Matteo, throwing in his sister just because he felt like it.
Drunken State of Mind

Alex moved through the halls of the caverns. The glow of the torches that lit them amused him, watching them move back and forth. A bottle was gripped in one hand as he moved, looking over everything. He hadn't had a good drink in a while. Really, he shouldn't have drunk anything at all, but Alaki was driving him up the wall. Never talking about what was wrong, even when he was caught with something clearly upsetting him. That Matteo as well, whoever he was. Alex wanted a piece of him. Teach him how to treat others. His body swayed as he moved through, working his way slowly towards the cave's entrance.

WC:: 284 - OOC Hey! I know we wanted to do a thread and since I totally failed at getting it started I thought I would come in here. Down one of the hallways of the vast Anathema caverns a light seemed to detach itself from the walls and float towards the threshold that gave birth to the outside world. Like a strange will-o-wisp the flame traveled, high enough to shine it’s light on the ceiling of the cave but not bright enough to illuminate the dark figure that propelled it forward. Scorpius had seen the man stumbling down the corridor, and when he saw him looking at the torches that lined the walls his intrigue grew, so he followed him. Soon he, too, was stepping out of the recess of the den and into the nighttime air, the torch he carried sending an eerie orange flicker over the area around him. He turned his ruby eyes to the man, the one eye hidden beneath the half skull mask flashed in the torchlight. He could smell the reek of alcohol on the man. It oozed from his breath and from the bottle and permeated the air. The scent was thick and almost stung the nostrils, but it didn’t seem to bother Scorpius. He did not know this man well short of seeing him around Anathema and knowing him as one of the pack. A vague name came to mind but he wasn’t sure if it was right. Alexan-something. “You were admiring the torches.” He observed, the statement should have been a question but he wasn’t asking. “Do you have some kind of thing for the flame?” He might have even sounded a little jealous about it. His eyes dropped, turning toward the bottle in Alexander’s hand as he wondered if the pack brother was going to keep all the libations to himself tonight. .scorcai1 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-family: verdana; font-size:9px; border-bottom:2px dotted #000000; } .scorcai1 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .scorcai1 b {color:#14110f; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#818282 0px 1px 0px; } .scorcai1 {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/mdfzN.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:6px solid #14110f; margin:0 auto; border-radius:20px; font-family: verdana; font-size:10px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:520px; text-align:justify;margin:0 auto; box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -moz-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -webkit-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d;} .scorcai1 .inner {margin:95px 60px 5px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; border-top-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;; border:1px solid #000000; height:245px; overflow:auto;} </style>

WC:000+ - OOC hooray! he's throwing a fit because alaki threw him out of the room XD Alex spun around as he was called out. Peering through the darkness he made out a black wolf, looking rather eery with the partial skull. Or at least he would have if Alex had been sober enough to recognize it as such. His tail swayed behind him, moving over. Yes. They were amusing. They had driven him nuts down there, lost as he was. Only their flickering light had given him any kind of guidance about where he was at. Not that it had helped any.

WC:: --- He may have confused the drunken fellow but that was not his intent, thought he wouldn’t grumble at the bottle he proffered. He glanced down at the bottle again and then back to Alexander’s crystalline eyes as he took the alcohol from him. Clearly he didn’t want to give it away, so Scorpius took a quick swig of the swill and handed it back to him. “I agree with you there. Fires are quite amusing wonders,” he spoke dreamily as his eyes turned toward the torch. “Powerful. There’s so much it can do and I’ve yet to barely scratch the surface of its secrets.” He was dazed for a moment, lost in the wonders of the lapping flame. It might have been the liquor, or it might have been the flame that had him looking a little foggy when he turned back to Alexander. “I don’t think we’ve ever been officially introduced. I’m Scorpius d’Angelo.” He held out his free hand for a cordial shake. “So, what’s sent you out wandering the Howling Caverns in a drunken stupor? You don’t exactly look like you’re celebrating anything.” .scorcai1 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-family: verdana; font-size:9px; border-bottom:2px dotted #000000; } .scorcai1 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .scorcai1 b {color:#14110f; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#818282 0px 1px 0px; } .scorcai1 {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/mdfzN.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:6px solid #14110f; margin:0 auto; border-radius:20px; font-family: verdana; font-size:10px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:520px; text-align:justify;margin:0 auto; box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -moz-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -webkit-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d;} .scorcai1 .inner {margin:95px 60px 5px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; border-top-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;; border:1px solid #000000; height:245px; overflow:auto;} </style>

WC:000+ - OOC blah would go here The black male took a drink from Alex's bottle before passing it back. He couldn't say he minded, wanting the alcohol, but at the same time it didn't help him keep himself from drinking out of his mind. He was trying to quit after all, despite the fact that it never lasted long, usually getting drunk whenever Alaki did something particularly vicious and cursing the male till he was blue in the face. Why he put up with the stubborn git was a mystery, but Alex kept heading back there.

WC:: 200+ “Well you did until now, didn’t you?” he prodded, looking for more juice to the story. “I thought I saw you in the caverns a few times, don’t you have a room? What changed?” Scorpius made a habit of wandering the hallways, just as he had done endlessly when he was a pup, though now it was to check the torches and clear his mind rather than to mope around in the shadows feeling sorry for himself. He couldn’t really remember where the man had been staying but there was no doubt he had seen the light male around the corridors. “I don’t have much of a steady residence, myself,” he added sullenly. Each and every day that passed he spent his time hoping Naniko would let him in to her den. At one time her quarters used to be his, too, and he wanted that again. He wanted to be close to their Angela, to his dear mother. Perhaps he had gotten a glimpse inside here or there, or on cordial occasions had entered her den for this reason or that, but so far had received no invitations to bed down there at night. “Care if I have another go?” he held out his hand, motioning toward the bottle. The liquor was strong and the swaying man would probably benefit from someone helping him with the rest of the drink. Bending down a moment he stabbed the end of the torch into the ground, and there it buried itself until it was held steadfast. It would hold itself up until one of them retrieved it, and when he stood up the flame glowed near his thighs. .scorcai1 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-family: verdana; font-size:9px; border-bottom:2px dotted #000000; } .scorcai1 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .scorcai1 b {color:#14110f; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#818282 0px 1px 0px; } .scorcai1 {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/mdfzN.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:6px solid #14110f; margin:0 auto; border-radius:20px; font-family: verdana; font-size:10px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:520px; text-align:justify;margin:0 auto; box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -moz-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -webkit-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d;} .scorcai1 .inner {margin:95px 60px 5px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; border-top-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;; border:1px solid #000000; height:245px; overflow:auto;} </style>

WC:000+ - OOC blah would go here Asked what had changed Alex grimaced. Explaining what had happened was not something he wanted to do, even drunk and cursing at the sky. Instead he told the reason why he hadn't returned to the room, remaining out wandering around without a clue of what was happening. The caverns keep turning me around. I can't find my way out of the bloody place. He looked up, thankful for the small sliver of light that came down from the moon, assuring him that he was outside, and not still trapped in a really weird place.

WC:: 200+ It seemed that was all he was going to get from the wolf, and he had to accept it. He couldn’t very well beat it out of him, Scoprius was too green when it came to fighting still and there wasn’t much of a reason to anyway, not to mention they were pack and there was no reason to move harshly on a fellow of his people. The weak explanation would just have to do, although Scorpius knew there was some juicy tidbit of drama he must be missing out on. “I guess the old caves can be confusing to someone who isn’t used to them.” His reply was short. He failed to understand how the hallways could be confusing, but when the man was young he spent endless hours wandering the various paths and knew the caverns better than he knew his own body. He reached for the bottle and took it, noticing Alex’s grin but tipping the bottle bad for another gulp before turning back to him. When he brought the bottle down the fluid inside splashed, some popping out the narrow top of the bottle, and landed on the torch. The fire flared brilliantly and Scorpius’s ruby eyes widened with disbelief as he stared at it. It did not take long for the flame to return to normal, but the sight had been thrilling. Was alcohol some kind of fuel for fire? Alexander was saying something, “…a game?” and Scorpius turned his attention back to the Collins man. No, he didn’t want to play a game, he wanted to experiment more with the fire and the liquor, but he still nodded yes seeing the amusement in Alex’s eyes. “What have you got in mind?” .scorcai1 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-family: verdana; font-size:9px; border-bottom:2px dotted #000000; } .scorcai1 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .scorcai1 b {color:#14110f; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#818282 0px 1px 0px; } .scorcai1 {background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/mdfzN.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:6px solid #14110f; margin:0 auto; border-radius:20px; font-family: verdana; font-size:10px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:520px; text-align:justify;margin:0 auto; box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -moz-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d; -webkit-box-shadow:2px 2px 3px #1d1d1d;} .scorcai1 .inner {margin:95px 60px 5px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; border-top-left-radius: 20px; border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;; border:1px solid #000000; height:245px; overflow:auto;} </style>

WC:000+ - OOC blah would go here Alex nodded his head. Even living here as long as he had he still got lost. Granted, most of that was due to the large amount of alcohol he'd been consuming, but he wasn't going to admit that alcohol had anything to do with his difficulties getting around. Just like he wasn't going to admit the fact that dealing with Alaki's temper at the moment made him consider losing his own and just brawling with someone.
