Kenai || 3 Years || Male || Strays United Guard || M: Alha, Shalah & Freya(dir), Eastern Pack(ind) ... Following Alha for border patrol had proved to be well worth the time, despite the chill creeping into his paws from the snow. He'd made note of the traps they passed and where the clear path was, Kenai was careful as they had to jump barely visible traps, He'd had some prior experience with such devices and wasn't keen on repeating it. However, as they traveled a howl drifted above the trees causing him to halt, the hairs on his nap standing on end. Unease clawed at his being as he flicked his ears with a frown hearing a second more familiar howl, before Alha lifted her head and replied with her own. He knew what made that howl without needing to be told, a wolf, and one his leader seemed to know. . Kenai stiffened when the smaller dog turned to face him mentioning a change of plans, glancing briefly at Freya to gauge her reaction to the news. So Shalah had been that second howl, no wonder it sounded familiar. So they had allies in the wolves, but some might still be hostile? Well, that wasn't great he grimaced at that thought. "Got it" Kenai huffed with a stiff nod to Alha. Pausing when the medic approached, offering a nod and flick of his ear in silent greeting. He managed to relax slightly as his mind turned to the task at hand, although part of his hackles remained raised as the scent of wolf assaulted his nose. Falling in step just behind his alpha and medic, ever watchful of their surroundings as he sidestepped and hopped over traps when necessary. His ears on a swivel, Kenai was still on edge but managed to keep it together in favor of doing his job. |

Loki | M | Hunter | SUP | M: Dogs at camp, Alha's patrol(ind) Loki had just disappeared down towards the human settlements to check on the traps when he heard Shalah howl. Lovely. Fine and dandy. He huffed, pausing as he heard Alha answer as well. Loki sighed, knowing that his alpha would probably lead her patrol up that way. He didn't trust any of the new dogs, or any dog, to go with her but since he had to check on the traps today, some dog had to go with her. Loki turned back, trotting as fast as his little legs could go back towards the camp. Hmm. . .he supposed he could trust Harry to go with her. And maybe he could get rid of that old one. The last thing they needed was elders slowing the pack down. Yeah, that would do great.
Loki got back to camp before letting out his loudest bark to call the dogs. If they listened, that is. Harry was right where Alha had left him so that was fine. He flattened an ear before saying to any dog listening, "Alha has requested two more dogs to go on her patrol to the wolf pack. I need to check on traps today so I'll take Harry and. . .Frodo is your name? to the meeting point and then head to patrol." He gave a side glare to the other two (Temari and Quilo), "You two need to stick around camp and patrol those borders while the alpha is gone. She won't be too pleased if that isn't done when she gets back."
Loki huffed before padding to the edge of the clearing to wait for the two dogs to join him. After a few moments, whether they did or not, he took off at a fast lope towards the eastern side of the territory. They should meet up with Alha's patrol at the top at that point where he could *cough* drop them off and disappear. He had been a grumpy mood most of the morning and honestly would have preferred staying out on his trap patrol than worrying about this pathetic patrol. |

(I know I said I would wait until the New Year but I think it's best if we get this ready now :3)
Time Skip!
Due to lack of responses and an agreed skip to get us past the rut, we will begin again in the evening. The injured party of wolves is back at camp, all of which have been treated to the best of Xola's and Violet's attention. Everyone is free to be hanging out around the camp, I will consult my characters locations in discussion.
The dog patrol had met up but had gotten lost trying to find the path up the waterfall. They are currently somewhere in Eastern Pack territory, trying to find their way to the pack.
! Notice! If you have a dog in that patrol, wait until I post an Alha/Shalah reply! That will set the tone and stage for you all. Secondly, you may post after it and before I do a post for Shadow. He will find them but you can bounce off him as well once we get moving again. !
All other dogs must be in their camp! Yes, you can do filler posts that allow your characters to do 'sweep patrols' by themselves. Interactions are great as well!
Raven Pack! All wolves are to be back in the camp! I know most of them is already there and there hasn't been much activity over there but fear not, there will be some come nighttime. No one will be getting any sleep on my watch >:3 You can either post fillers or wait for a Shiva post. (cough yes I said Shiva lol)
Lastly, I know there was one of you (for certain) that wanted to kill off a character. After my posts go out (either tomorrow or Monday), you will have a chance to have your character 'wander off'. There will be an event during the night that will kill/remove any unwanted characters. I will be posting in discussion which one of my own characters will be removed. You can either do the same or PM me.
Weather and time: Sunset is upon us, moving slowly behind the trees. The air has gotten a bit colder, promising snow later on. The snow that had been on the ground is still there, creating a thin layer of frost. The sky is clear for now but lurking clouds also foreshadow upcoming snow. (Note: I will control when the snow comes, I do not want posts that have snow falling in them. They will be ignored and you will be issued a warning.) |

Alha | Alpha Female | SUP | M: Patrol Shalah | Medic | F | SUP | M: Patrol Alha panted, sitting down before letting out a half-hearted sigh. They had just spent the better of a few hours trying to find the path up the waterfall, making their way up the waterfall and then trying to find which scent went with which pack. Which. . .was not going well. When they had reached the waterfall, there was no obvious path. Shadow always made it look easy but looking at the bare rock proved it was a bit tougher than she wanted to admit. Frodo and Harry had gotten to them by that time. Alha had been surprised when Loki showed up with the two, and then even more surprised when he showed the path. He seemed off still and did indeed go off towards the settlements afterwards. Again, she'd have to check back with him later that evening when he gave her a chance. It was nice that he wasn't being his normal clingy self but it did worry her.
The path up was narrow and there were many times where either she or Shalah had slipped. She hadn't looked behind much other than to make sure the patrol was alright. That took longer than expected. They had stopped for a short break before heading out towards Eastern Pack territory. Or at least, they thought it was. The frost on the ground did not help many of them, especially since the wolves didn't seem to mark this side of their border very often. Alha was certain that they had wandered the whole border that was in between Shadow's territory and the Eastern Packs.
Either way, she was tired. She was sure the others were too. Shalah plopped down beside her with a growl, saying shortly, "I give up. I'm calling Shadow again. Maybe he'll be able to come get us now." Alha flicked her ears back for a moment before directing her attention to the rest of her patrol. Shalah's call rang out beside her as she said, "Sorry about today fellas, the only territory I really know my way around is the current one we are living in. Maybe if the wolf pack decided to check this border a bit more, we would have a more solid lead despite the frost." Shalah finished her call beside her just to insert another piece in, "And more to come. I doubt that small snowstorm from last night is going to be the only one. There's a few lurking clouds nearby, so later tonight perhaps." Shalah nosed her pile of herbs before asking, "Does anybody's paws hurt? I have a few herbs to help with that." |
