Deverick - M - Subordinate - Mention(s): / (ind: Doji)

~

Deverick awoke to a pounding in his head. Not a nice pounding, either - it felt like a really big marching band playing a really loud march over and over, all in the confines of his head.

He felt like he was going to be sick.

Vaguely, he was aware that he was in some sort of kennel. A white plastic carrying cage, which he was stuffed into, his tail forced to do some unnatural curly thing, and if he tried to stand up he'd bang his head on the top of the plastic box.

Scrabbling awkwardly, using some purchase from the bottom of the box, he managed to stick his head out of the front of the box and lean out, panting awkwardly as he struggled to keep his nausea in check.

Eventually - thankfully - after what felt too long, the nauseousness subsided, and he was lucid enough to take in his surroundings - beside the annoying plastic box he was in.

Now that he was looking, there were more plastic carrier-boxes, arranged in quite a nice circle. Some of his packmates were in some of them, still unconcscious, some were out. As he watched, Doji simply walked off, following her nose to god knows where.

And he was parched. Heck, he didn't know he could be this thirsty.

Then he looked further afield. There were - those were actual trees there. And a mountain range over there. Without a fence.
Scrambling out of his little prison with a bit of new vigour, he took in the greater surroundings properly for the first time. Yup, there was no fence. They were no longer in the sanctuary - they were out. They were free.

Tripping slightly on the bottom of the cage, somehow he managed to scrabble out of the little plastic box - and somewhat regretted it as the heat and the sun started getting to him, only excaberating the problem that he needed water with a passion. Holy crap, but it was so hot, and bright.

So... this was what laid beyond the bars of the sanctuary. Deverick just didn't know what to think of that.

Anubis | Male | Subordinate | M: Merlin

The white fluffy male woke up in his crate crammed. He didn't feel anything wrong with him but the need for a drink. Anubis looked at everyone outside confused. Anubis realized at that moment they weren't exactly home anymore. He slowly stressed out as his icy glare shone through.

He growled “Instead of waiting for everyone, Merlin. We need to find something to drink. Survival of the fittest..” His eyes casted a look to Recon.

Anubis growled “See Merlin.. Your beta is overheated. If he really is that weak. Leave him for the vultures. You need to take care of your own pack..”

Merlin growled “Anubis, please shut up for once. This isn't the time nor the place for your meaningless challenges. No one is left behind and everyone is here.”

Anubis growled “You ignorant fool. Two wolfdogs are missing. Doji and Kiran are gone. Actually Kiran, like the mindless pup, went to explore without asking. And Doji… That mutt just disappeared out of thin air…”

Merlin growls “Shut up! We will find them here soon. I need to make sure everyone is accounted for and at least okay to move. Stop making it about you, Anubis..”

Anubis shook his head in disbelief as he went back to his kennel staring down at the others in anger. Following an absolute brain dead dog that can't figure out his own left or right.

Recon | Beta | Male | M: Merlin, Anubis, & Doji (ind)

Recon lifted his head at the mention of his title, wondering if someone was trying to get his attention before he noticed Anubis. His black ears flatted against his head and he softly growled, grumbling to himself before he rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself onto his paws. His head throbbed at the quick movement but he pushed it aside, tucking it away as a 'deal with that later' problem. Recon opened his mouth to try and get Anubis to keep it to himself before he noticed the wolfdog walking back to the enclosure. His tail flicked as a thought came to his mind, maybe it was a bit childish, but with everything going on, he didn't quite care. SO he held his head up high, steps a bit sluggish, but still there as he walked past Anubis's crate and paused, "I know I have a medical reason for my laying down and resting a moment. But what's your excuse?" The beta stood there for a moment, as if waiting for a response before he flicked his tail, "There is none, so lets start keeping our thoughts to ourselves and not going to bother Merlin with nonsense. This is new to all of us, so if you feel like volunteering yourself to go find the others, go right on ahead. But do not start getting snippy with anyone else just because they need a moment to recuperate." Recon waited for just a second before padding over to Merlin, getting a bit more steady with every step he took. "I'm gonna go find the river, I'm betting that's where Kiran and Doji ran off to, if you want to stay here that is. Echo, if you'd like, you're welcome to tag along. I'd prefer if we waited till everyone is awake so we can form a proper hunting party. It's safer that way."

Merlin | Alpha | Male | M: Echo and Recon

He casted a look at Recon discipline the younger male's tantrum. Merlin had to bit back his stifled laugh. He shook his head in amusement at the interaction with a smirk he casted at Recon. He dipped his head as thanks but trying not to encourage it more. It would almost wrong to do that for him to do. But at the same time Anubis needed it and probably more than just a scolding like a pup.

"Alright. Please Recon be careful. If you need anything howl. Any threat or dangers we will be there as fast as we can. Howl if it's water so everyone can get hydrated before this heats kills us."

He looked at Echo and barked "Stay here. We will leave as soon as we can. I need you just in case for threats for us and to hold the pack down.... For food wise I'm willing to bet the rice has some fish... I don't think anyone can thoroughly hunt without causing us to fall in exhaustion.. Also we may need to help anyone to the river and I'm sure Anubis won't help... But are you okay? Anything going on other than this unbearable heat and being thirsty? Do you need to lie down?"

Merlin lashed his tail and started to pace waiting for Recon's call.
