Friendly Meeting

[Sonny]

Sonny as promised had decided upon calling a meeting to let everyone get to know each over, that and he wanted to get to know the new members better too. He now stood in a clearing the tree tops above had opened up and the sunlight shone down to illuminate the forest floor and Sonny who was blending in with some of the fallen leaves.

He raised his head and let out a howl announcing that he was there waiting for the Synl members to show up. He looked around for the newest members he had accepted, Kira, Pride and Theft. He hoped they were doing alright, new members usually did, Synl after all was like a big happy family.

All was quite, it was peaceful, a little too peaceful for the borzoi's taste, he liked excitement, company and he liked to play games like a pup. At least now that he was calling the pack together things would get interesting, fun and exiting all at once. Now he was becoming impatient and his legs began to twitch, the desire to run and chase something was strong.

He scanned the surroundings taking note of sounds and any slight movement, including the black beetle scurrying past on of his hind feet, he turned and thrust his muzzle into the underbrush and snapped it into his jaws and made a quick snack of it, when he was a pup he used to search for bugs all the time, a good source of protein but to some rather disgusting.

[Squeeji]

A highpitched yippy chortle replied to the tone of the Borzoi, the sound of a creature not normally used to even mimicking the sound of a howl.

The pack was meeting? The alpha had called them out? Anna snapped her jaws happily as she pranced around abit...making a run towards the sound. She was suprising speedy for a corgi, she attributed to less air resistance, but still she made sure to make it before she missed the party.

With another shakey howl she rushed to the clearing, in leaps in bounds. Sliding into a stop. "Hmmm what? I'm here..." she panted a little, smiling wide.

[swift]

Swift padded through the forest, her eyes on the ground as she thought of her life so far. The dark past. The hope that someday, she would have her revenge. But a howl broke her from her thoughts, and the collie-mix lifted her head to the breeze. The howl was not that of someone who wished for acceptance, instead it was that of someone calling a meeting. She was a member of Synl now, and had been waiting for one of these in a while. Throwing her head to the sky, Swift howled her presence simply. As soon as she dropped her head, she sprang away through the trees, and towards the sound of the call.

As she reached the source, she saw that it was Sonny, the alpha. Swift paused just beyond the tree-line of the clearing, before walking out calmly. Anna was there too, and Swift breathed deeply as she realised she was the second here.

((That was oh so bad, but I am in the middle of one million other things, sorry. I did this as though the things in 'This Land' didn't get confused, so these three will still know each other. That alright? I'm off for a week, but pretend Swift is still here! ))

OOC: I'm here...

IC:
Theft sat next to Sonny, her huge fennec fox ears shading her face from the sun... what they were made for... She smiled up at him, glad to have finally found a place to stay and feel safe from Sallin. Theft was brown with goggle-like markings on her face. Her tail had a black tip on the end and on both her front front legs, Egyptian styled bangles shone in the sunlight to match her gold earings. theft couldn't wait to meet the rest of the pack and as the newcomers joined them she greeted them with a friendly smile. Theft had been avoiding Sallin for most of her life and not staying in the same place for too long. She couldn't wait to get settled in... but that was if the others would accept a fennec fox.

OOC: Sorrry about the short post.

[pride]

Black and white brute walked behind sonny as he walked towards him and sat perhaps un nessacarily close to him. Sonars flicked abck and forth, he was on the opposite side of the weird looking wolf. Shaking a little he wondered where his mother was, a small whine came from him as he looked at Sonny. He did not know where his mother was, laying on the ground he looked at the other dogs and wolves. He wondered how he would fair in the pack.

ack stabbs post sorry got lots to do at the moment.

[swift]

((It's Sonny then Anna next, but if they don't reply soon I'll post to keep this alive.))

[Squeeji]

((I'm still active on this thread...if Sonny ever comes back...I was just keeping rank and file here...hmmm...))

[Addie]

(OOC: If Sonny's player has not logged in by the time I am able to become active in RPing again, I will foster RP Sonny to keep his threads going)

[Sonny]

Sonny smiled at Pride reassuringly, he looked then to Theft and looked toward Anna with a smile, another member.

"It's a meeting, this is Pride and Theft, I'm glad you came Anna" he said having met her once before whilst greeting a black and white border collie cross wolf.

He continued his silly smile stretched out and looked at the three members, things were going well Sonny realized how much he relied on his pack to keep him happy, he would give anything to protect them he realized that now more than ever.

The alpha waited wondering if anyone else was coming, so far only three, where was Kira? He had expected her to come along with Pride but so far there was no sign of her so he continued his wait and decided to let Anna properly greet her new pack mates.

The pack was growing well now, Kahvie would be happy in any case, the new members meant that Synl was really starting to take root at last.

OOC: Sorry it's short and cruddy, I have a lot to catch up with

[enapay]

OOC: UH! Writer's Block...

[Squeeji]

The small dog took a moment to take things in, two new members she didn't know. One of them looking a little foxish...but then again, she wouldn't judge, she looked pretty goofy too. "Ooooh. Well...that's good?" Anna cocked her head, and twizzled her ears as she pondered the situation at hand.

With enthusaism the little corgi darted around inspecting the new canines, sniffing a little. "Which one of you is Pride, and which is Theft?" She thought she had recongnised Swift however. Grinning she just shrugged off the concern of which was which and laughed. "I'm Anna."

[swift]

Swift had moved away into the shade as others arrived. 'So few?' she thought to herself. She had known that Synl was not as big as some other packs, and in truth that comforted her. She was definitely more illusive than those that were here, but something about them...their smiles, made her heart rise. Could she finally become a member of a family again, not just a pack? She had not thought of family since her father had been murdered by Sallin, and suddenly, she felt her head spin.

She was completely alone. He had passed, and she had been lost without him. Swift had been so focussed on finding revenge, that she had not stopped to think of how truly and deeply that hurt her. Her father had been everything...and now he was gone. She turned away from the others for a moment, so that they could not see the sadness in her forest eyes.

Her heart fell away, and she was a pup again. The thunder roared and the lightening split the earth, and she was alone in the storm. Her family had been killed, and she had no one. But he had found her - the sheepdog whose coat was soft and warm. He had taken her in as his own, and with him she had been safe...safe.

Swift smiled. She would never be alone. He was always with her, his spirit running with hers. That made her feel immensely comforted, and she turned back to the others at last. She was no longer afraid - no longer the pup in the storm. She was Swift, a young and agile collie mix who was finally finding her path in life.

Forgetting what she had felt, if only for a moment, Swift padded up to the others and smiled, her eyes shining brightly in the sun. "I'm Swift." Her voice was fierce, but this time with loyalty and warmth. True, she was not changed, but at least now she saw the truth, and could finally move on. She recognised Anna, and Sonny of course, and tried her best to focus on that - and succeeded.


_{((Swift has a soft side, for the moment. ^^))}

[enapay]

Theft looked down at her bangles that shone in the sunlight as she waited for more Synl members to show up.

"Which one of you is Pride, and which is Theft?"

Theft suddenly looked up from her legs to see who had asked. After looking around she laid eyes on a corgi. Theft waved her tail invitingly and smiled at the small dog.
"I'm Theft," she said with a smile. "Hi Anna."
Would any of the others know what she is? A fennec fox isn't exactly native here so Theft thought that she should speak up.
"I don't know if any of you apart from Sonny know what I am, so just to answer any confusion, I'm a fennec fox. we live in Egypt but my parents snuck on a boat and came here."

[pride is buisy]

(sorry for not posting sooner)


Pride looked towards the others, a growl came when the corgi made her rounds around him towards Theft. Sonars where pinned back and he backed away into swift, looking at her he jumped and mumbled a sorry as he spotted Theft and dove towards her, hiding under her tail. Sure he was a brave dog but when gathered with alot of others he was scared.


>< sorry for the shortness gtg.))

[Squeeji]

"A fox. Theft the fox." Honestly the corgi didn't really put much scope into the species of fox...just that the female was one. Just different looking, like everyone else. "It must have been a long ride for you...at least you're safe now right?" She gave her a friendly wink before Pride had a little bit of an anxiety attack.

Anna wagged her nubby tail and shook her head at the shy dog, she felt for him, she had been there herself time and time again. "You don't need to be 'fraid of me...look I'm little." She offered the best salve she could in words, but she didnt really know what to say to make things better.

Her ears dipped a little as she looked at the little fox beseechingling, maybe she could help her out somehow...
