Strange Howls in the Distance (new char, attn: any)

***JuliaV*** · 06-16-2010, 12:06 AM

An average-sized cinnamon-gray-coloured wolf with short fur sits in the tall yellow grass out in the middle of nowhere. She is scratching at an itch in her ear, teetering back and forth as she does so. Even after all this time, wolf form still feels awkward enough without having to perform a balancing act to simply scratch an itch. Her tongue lolls out in a goofy grin as she vanquishes the offending itch with her hind claws.

She stops and looks about. She does not know where she is - somewhere in Missouri, somewhere between a river and a line of trees. There were subtle signs of Garou activity here. As if to confirm her suspicions, she has heard howling in the distance - they were still a ways off, but she was most likely already in their territory now, or dangerously close to the boundary. For all she knows, the spirits have already alerted them to her presence. She should have said something earlier, but she has been hesitating to commit herself to her duties. Wandering free is so much more fun.

She sits and listens to the sound of the crickets, and takes in the scent of mildewy dry grass. Then she looks up to the sky - the moon looks like the slitted eye of an angry mother, prodding her to get on with it.

The strange wolf throws back her head. Her voice is high, obviously female, with a wavering accent shared by many southern wolves. Her tone is confident.

"Don't be alarmed, I approach! I am an Uktena Scout of No-Moon - Lea Coyote-Chaser!"

She swivels her ears to listen.

skirting past the line of trees a man in his mid 20's scruff on his chin and in thread bare clothing. he is crouched low and doing what could pass for a dogtrot's speed. from his mouth a cigarette trails a line of smoke behind him but no residue or smell comes from the smoke. hearing the howl he stopped turning to face her over the undergrowth of the treeline. moving closer he waved.

ayven moved to infront of lea " why heelloooo" (said in a mocking snobby british accent )

ayven extends a hand " ayven. Bone gnawer cliath judge of the balanced moon

Lea watches as the Bone Gnawer approaches, and with a grimace, shifts into homid. She seems to be of some native descent, with who knows what else mixed in; she wears a t-shirt, jeans, and buckskin shoes - all well-traveled and covered in dirt, but in good condition otherwise. Slung over her shoulders are a small pack, a coyote pelt, and a silky yellow shawl.

She greets Ayven with a respectful bow of the head, a smile, and a handshake if he allows it. If she has any reservations about him, they are well hidden, though her eyes are visibly drawn to the cigarette.

She picks up the rest of her belongings from the grass - a walking stick decorated with grisly trophies of all sorts of animal parts, and a hunting rifle.

Avoiding eye contact, she asks, "I've heard others. Is it dangerous here?"

A massive, white wolf can be heard/seen bounding up from where Ayven came from. He skids to a halt and looks confused and standoffish, eying the newcomer and Ayven. He waits to make sure there's no conflict before adopting a more neutral stance.

Lea sees the enormous white wolf out of the corner of her eye, and her grip tightens on her walking stick. First she thinks that it must be a spirit, and even when she realizes that he is Garou, she can't shake that auspicious feeling. Is that the alpha around here?

She has never seen a white Garou before, and particularly one so big! ...and so she stares at him, even though she know she shouldn't.

**WillV** · 06-19-2010, 04:05 PM

Rorik's snout twitches slightly as he glances around.

He quietly speaks the garou tongue with a very different accent from Lea's.

"You may have been too far from the bawn to be heard." he expresses, as he takes a sitting position. His pinkish snout and reddish/pink eyes give away his deformity.

**JoeP** · 06-23-2010, 03:47 PM

" its very dangerous here, but thats the way roadkill works.." he draws on the cigarette lookin at her

"we where just headed to the site now. gotta get you two cleansed first before you can see -Rhya "

**Kosh** · 06-23-2010, 04:18 PM

A large black wolf pads quietly up so that the two others are between him and Ayven, but not too close.

***JuliaV*** · 06-23-2010, 04:33 PM

Lea nods, her expression now serious. She bows her head and quietly readies to follow. She doesn't appear to notice the black wolf, though she is obviously apprehensive at the whole situation.

[OOC Edit: haha, oops.. didn't refresh and see Kosh's post :O]
