The Party in the Woods [EVENT]

[Capricorn♑]

A tail lashed against a tree, tipping it over. A pleased Nocte turned back to her first form, with a very sore tail. She cursed, and wiped any of the twun virus off of the log, if that would actually affect anything. Nocte let out a sigh, and inspected the clearing with a critical eye. Perfect for the gathering she had planned. Perfect for getting to know and learn the weaknesses of many wolves. It was the nature of assassin wolves- not that Nocte was one anymore. Bitter memories flooded her mind as she remembered her turning, and the twun hissed more curses under her breath.

The fae stood at the base of another tree now, and reached a front paw up to haul herself into the tree. She pulled her front paw up onto the knothole, and put a lower hind paw on the base of the trunk. Her other front paw reached for a low-hanging branch, and the twun hauled a second hind foot into a smaller knothole. Soon, both front paws were on branches, and hind paws soon followed. The twun leapt up to a sturdy branch overlooking the edge of the clearing, and looked over the place she had chosen for the gathering. A howl echoed through the broken silence and darkness, summoning those invited to the gathering in the woods.

Alec trudged his way silently through the forest. The silent killer could easily hide and not be seen, it wasn't very hard. His sleek muscled form flowing as he walked within the shadows. He wouldn't be outdone by anything, his guard was on high for this meeting. He simply wanted to see what kind of jokes were in this world. Alec moved as he made himself shine in the moonlight he had followed the howl here, where he smirked as he saw Nocte on the branches. Funny how he'd be the first one here, was he the first one to have been invited? As he sat he scratched behind his ear a little. "Evening dear" he spoke in his seductive tone. How fun this would be.

"What a wonderful location" He complimented the scenery as he looked over the place. He kept his senses alert for the others. Alec was a master at deceiving rarely was he ever found out. It wasn't like he didn't want to be here, it was more of, he felt as if tonight would turn out to disappoint him.

[FETT AND MIYUKI]

Fett had no idea what was going on. He was completely in the dark. And, to be honest, that made him nervous. Very nervous. Scared, even. What was going on? He gulped as he lumbered his huge form through the trees, each heavy step making a bit of a thud. He felt the blades of grass rubbing against his massive, fat belly with every step he took. He was so fat his belly hung below his ankles. He thought he caught a familiar scent or two, but at the moment his nose felt a tad plugged up. But no matter, soon he'd find out just what was happening. Eventually, his nose was confirmed correct when he saw more wolves, one he instantly recognized as Alec. He picked up his pace a bit, his fat body wobbling along. He came within a few feet of Alec and plopped his big body down, looking around and still feeling nervous. "Uh, hey. So... W-What's happening now?"

[BRUTIS]

Brutis had no idea why he had agreed to come here. Going into the woods in the middle of the night to party when he should be tending to his duties wasn't exactly the smartest thing he'd ever done. And one hosted by Nocte of all people. Things were incredibly awkward around her after all that had happened in the past couple days. But he agreed to come, to make sure all the other wolves in attendance would be safe more than anything. Yeah. Partying was such a noble activity.

He noticed Nocte speaking to a stranger, so he left her be and just kinda stood silently in the clearing, taking in his surroundings.

[Star]

The slender body of Kiana went through the woods. She caught the familiar scents of some wolves. She stopped and sat down, she looked at the two wolves. Her belly, plump with carrying pups. "Hello good evening." Kiana responded to everyone. She caught sight of her mate, Alec. She was carrying his pups and with that came mood swings. But right now she was fine...for now. She could be scary when she had her weird mood swings. Kiana's icy blue eyes followed over to the three wolves she recognized the three. Nocte, the twun she let you know suck her blood. Her wound was not that visible and it had been a couple weeks since then so it was almost fully healed. Then there was Fett, the lovable big wolf he was a cuddly bear really. And lastly but not least her beloved mate, whom she was having pups with. She, placed her rump on the ground.

[OBLIVIOUS]

it was the wicked and wild wind . . . .

Light paws pounced on the rocks, danced between the trees, swatted at low hanging branches and flattened blades of grass. The crisp summer night's breezes swirled around his body by his command, making his fur fly in all kinds of different directions. He hummed a low tune, too energetic to fall asleep just yet. The mother had always told him to force his eyes close, and at least pretend he was dreaming, and by this time of night, he would already be sound asleep. But not tonight. Tonight was his night free from the mother, the father, the sisters and the home. Tonight he got to stay out late, enjoy the night, and hum his own little tune.

And then someone made an attempt at harmonizing with him. He stopped moving completely, startled, hearing the sudden howl echo through the forest. But then he smiled, knowing that no one would give away their position like that unless they wanted company. And anyone who wanted company this late was probably looking for some fun... And Azhar was up for fun. Gleefully, he leaped forward toward the source of the noise, ready to introduce himself and make a new friend. He had a certain feeling that this night would be a night to remember.

But he suddenly skidded to a stop, nearly crashing into the backside of a gigantic wolf, who, had it not been for his size, would've blended in nicely with the dark wood of the trees. Walking around him and looking up wondrously, mouth gaping, he managed to say, "Oh hello! I almost didn't see you there!" and then laughing at the irony of his greeting. This wolf must've had at least two feet over him! Then, standing next to this wolf, he looked around to see a lean, maroon male, about normal height, almost looking black in the shade of the trees. Nodding to him, he looked around again and saw a much shorter, albeit muscular canine, easily seen in the darkness with his white fur, although it seemed that the tip of his tail and his paws disappeared into the shadows. And finally, a cream female, also easy to spot. She seemed to be quite slender, had it not been for the belly and the unmistakeable scent of a pregnancy.

Smiling, he called out to them all, "Well, I never expected so many to be here all at once! I hope it's not a meeting that I've accidentally intruded on. If I have forgive me. My name is Azhar, and I come in peace." He introduced with a bow, lowering his head and bowing one of his front legs. Once he was up, he continued with, "So now, who was the fellow who called us all here in the first place, hmm?" He asked, looking at each wolf, from one to the other.

. . . . blew down the doors to let me in

The female asked herself as she trekked through the forest ground. It was too late to be out anyway or so she thought to be out and about going to some stranger’s get-together. What was this celebration about? Why did she feel inclined to go? It was all a bit strange. Still she found herself quickening her pace she had not been to a party in a while so why not take this moment to relax for a bit? Her ears pricked up at the sound of a howl which echoed through the forest. “Afff,” she said in mild frustration. Naja still had some distance to cover. After a while she found that the scents were getting stronger most of them unfamiliar. She found herself in a clearing those scents now had faces. Her nose wrinkled as she took in the new sights. The female’s gaze for a while rested on two males that stood together. The fatter of the two caught her attention and it made her raise a brow in slight amusement. It was her first time seeing a wolf this big. Well, soon she would get to know the name of that wolf if time permitted her to. Going closer into the ‘circle’ she saw that she was not the only female there. From the looks of it, one had a plump belly which she guessed she was carrying pups. The other femme was a twun . We have quite a turn out tonight. She thought to herself as she stopped in her tracks to pick up a known scent to her. It was Azhar, a male from her pack. She was not too sure whether she should feel a sense of relief to see a familiar face around as to her he could be classified as a stranger also. Naja knew so little about him but as usual he appeared to be in high spirits. She took a seat not too far from where a short, scar decorated was situated. His black paws she took some interest in for a short while before she spoke. “Good evening everyone,”

[/color] she said firmly taking another glance at each wolf. Her tail wrapped around her paws. It was better to keep all her parts to herself. There were strangers about.

Nocte responded to Alec with a brief, businesslike nod, licking her fangs with the delicate skin of her tongue, gently as not to cut it. She could see the silhouettes of various arriving wolves against the stars, and inspected the partygoers from her perch atop a branch. The leaves began to fly in the wind, and the branch swayed slightly. Cursing, Nocte drew metal from around her, forming small but sharp claws, driving them into the wood to steady her position. The twun had sharp reflexes, and knew if this branch were to crack, she could latch onto the trunk. She watched as Fett walked up to Alec, and the quick breeze stopped. Had an air wolf done it? Or was something more sinister going to happen?

So Brutis had come? Nocte had to say she was impressed. The poor kid- well, not really a kid, but as one of Sensuret's oldest members, Nocte could say stuff like that- had become the most recent victim of Nocte's tricks. Kiana was there, too, and the twun was pleased to say that her bite wound was healing well. Then, there were two wolves who smelled of the Sangue pack, who's names the twun didn't know. Leaping down from her branch onto the ground, Nocte addressed the partygoers. "Hello, fellow wolves. I'm Nocte, the wolf who started this party, and invited you all to it. I bid you all a good evening, and invite you to socialize."

[Rivaxorus]

[bg=black][atrb=cellpading,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,521,true] Alec looked around as more and more arrived. He was enjoying himself, until Kiana came along. Great, now he had to act "more" lovable then he planned to. Yet still he couldn't complain as he smiled sweetly at her. Three sons and one daughter, it seemed like the future of Erebus was tightly secured. The first he noticed to arrive was Fett though who sat next to him and asked him about what was going to happen next. There are around twenty wolves here, probably a lot more, twuns of all sorts, elementals. Alec could even smell a few zombies. Though most loners, Alec had only a few erebus members with him for precaution. Both male and female. As he flicked his ear and gave Kiana a lick over the head watching his small children then looking over to Nocte as she spoke. "I guess, we go and meet the others." The king noted and flicked his ears, but one of his guards let a steep growl rise from his throat from Fett approaching. "Relax, I may be a leader, but we are here to learn" He tapped his tail over the wolf's head and he narrowed his eyes. Alec smiled and sat down, relaxing himself for a few moment. "My name is Alec, King of Erebus, I am not that stupid" He chuckled. Well, at least he could act like he was cheerful tonight. The sooner this was over, the sooner he could return to his brother. That would be when he could finally rest.

[FETT AND MIYUKI]

Fett glanced around nervously as each wolf arrived. He was feeling more and more uncomfortable. All these new wolves! He smiled at Kiana, at least there was one wolf he knew. "H-Hey, Kiana." He glanced around again, seeing another smaller wolf step around him and sitting in front of him. He smiled as the wolf sat next to him and introduced himself as "Azhar." He figured he should also introduce himself, but he was feeling so scared now. He held back his shy trembles, though, and cleared his throat. "Uh, h-hello everyone, I-I'm Fett." Now, Nocte said to socialize? But how? He was so shy... Well, these wolves all seemed friendly enough. He glanced around a bit, so far so good, so far so good...

[BRUTIS]

Brutis kept looking around. He wasn't much for socializing, and even didn't much want to talk to Nocte, who was the only one there he knew. Then he heard Fett stuttering something of a greeting and tried to look a bit encouraging. The poor wolf seemed very nervous, though Brutis didn't really understand why. That wolf seemed to tower over all the other ones, and he could almost certainly take any of them in a fight. Come to think of it, all the guests seemed strange. Then again, maybe it was just that none of these wolves were familiar to the beta. He decided it was best if he didn't speak until directly spoken to and kept scoping out the area.

[Star]

Kiana,having just given birth a day before,had her hands full with the newborns but she loved them so. She, flicked an ear and felt Alec lick her head she smiled lightly and glanced at a wolf he was quiet. She heard Fett talk to her "Hi Fett." she answered lightly. Kiana stood and walked over to the male. "Hello." Kiana greeted the male, her blue eyes focusing on the wolf.

OOC: The wolf is Brutis

[OBLIVIOUS]

it was the wicked and wild wind . . . .

Azhar jumped in surprise when, as a very prompt and unexpected answer to his question, a female voice appeared out of nowhere, and with a very soft thump, he could barely make out the shadowy form of the speaker, dropping lightly from the sky. Had it not been for the piece of white on her chest and her eyes, which were clearly ringed with red that stood out well in the dark, he would never have seen her. Clearing his throat, he bowed courteously to her and uttered softly, "Thank you, Nocte, and good evening to you too." Despite his politeness, though, there was something about her that made him edgy, and he had sensed the feeling from the start, however, it had not been as prominent as it was after the dark she-wolf appeared, and therefore he just started to really notice it. He carefully reminded himself to stay on his toes around her.

Before getting a chance to make a decision to socialize to someone, as the suspicious Nocte had invited them to do so, the saw a cream colored she-wolf leave to speak to one of the more quieter males, who had not openly introduced himself. He snorted, grateful to the female for taking her leave. Let her cooties spread to anyone else but him.

Suddenly, a meek voice caught his attention, and the brightly colored male turned his attention up to the large wolf, from whom it came from. He stifled a little giggle upon realization, having expected the one wolf who was twice the size of everyone else here to be a bit more... confident, to say the least. Smiling, he trotted up in front of the large earth-colored wolf, responding to his introduction, "Well good evening, Fett! It's a pleasure to meet you! So how has your day been going so far?" He supposed that maybe, he might be able to get a good few words out of this guy, although if not, there were many others to converse with as well.

And to help him with this conversation with the shy giant, he looked over to the other side of Fett from where he was previously standing to see the dark red male, who identified himself as Alec, the King of Erebus... whatever that was. He gave him an inviting look, as to invite him into the conversation, before saying, "Well your majesty, it is a huge honor for me to make your acquaintance." He said humbly, bowing down to the king. "So now, tell me a little about your Erebus. And excuse me for asking, but what is it, exactly?" He tried his best not to sound rude, but sometimes, it was impossible to ask a question without offending someone.

ooc : ebony said somewhere that she was withdrawing naja from this thread, so i'm going to assume that she didn't arrive to the party.

. . . . blew down the doors to let me in

[Capricorn♑]

There were certainly a lot of wolves at the party, more than Nocte had expected. Of course, she had invited a few twuns and demigods, as well as plenty of elemental- maybe even a few zombies, she hadn't bothered to check. There were plenty of things the twun didn't bother to check, and whether or not her party guests were flesh-eating undead wolves was one of them, strange as it may be.

She faced her tree once again, and put her paws in the appropriate pawholds on the trunk. Swiftly, the black wolf hauled herself up, taking a spot between the branches, and surveyed the party. Nothing could go wrong tonight, as the wolves began to know each other. Of course, unless a twun or zombie decided they were hungry- that could cause quite a problem. Why the twun was watching everybody from a tree. A black and purple zombie was below the branch- oh yes, that old Waru wild who had recently came back into her body has a zombie, who's name Nocte could not remember.

[Rivaxorus]

[bg=black][atrb=cellpading,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,521,true] Trapped, like a little fly. Alec's ears moved around when he heard the whispers. His shoulders moved up as he looked at the others. Something was dearly wrong with this meeting already, he couldn't quiet tell what it was, but something was definitely going on. The king pulled back a bit, his collective nature kicking in as he narrowed his purple eyes out onto the forest. Others must have been able to sense this as well had they not. He lifted up his head to look at Nocte. Then back at the whispering voices. He could hear them over all the speaking among the others. As his son came close to his legs, he looked at the small pup. "Stay put with your mother Kamaki" He whispered and turned to fett as well as the boy's mother. "Something is terribly wrong here" He mentioned as he backed up and sat down, watching the outer forest. The ground began to cover with a white mist. Flowing through from the sides like a waterfall. Covering the ground on the floor, in which twisted things were beginning to form not far off. Alec let out a small growl. The other members in the party began to notice the strange mist, as Alec looked left and right. "We need to scatter" He whispered. Wondering what everyone would do next, along with who the hell was crashing this party.
