[ OOC Information ]
Welcome to the first N'W event! For the next few months, the pack will experiencing some rather unusual events that will eventually conclude their first meta.
This and several other events will give opportunities for people interested in the pack to join and those who are already inside of it, to hopefully find plot development and enjoyment from their character.
+ This event is simply going to be a sort of meet and greet as well as a celebration within the pack itself. Your wild dog or familiar is in no danger roleplaying during this particular portion of the event.
+ If you would like to join the N'W, just make sure to post your application before posting here as this RP can be used as a JRP.
+ There may be dice games within this event! In which case pups may be banned from participating depending on what it is. Specific rules will be posted when the dice game begins.
+ Please note that anyone with a wild dog, inside the pack or outside of it, is welcome to join in.
- If you are roleplaying an outsider, they will be expected to be respectful of the pack's traditions while in their land. If they disrupt the celebration (participating does not count as a disruption, I mean like starting fights or trying to kill Alnilam kind of disruption), they will likely be thrown out if no sufficient reason is given.
- To clarify, your wild dog may participate in this event regardless of what pack they are in or if they are.
- All kinds of familiars may participate as well.
- Gods may also participate if they have either: A) a wild dog or familiar as their alt. form or B) take the form of a non-lined creature. I request they do no grand show of power of shift into their feline form as either would cause panic.
- If you do not have an SoA of any kind or any that it makes sense to participate with, you may roleplay a non-lined animal; such a lizard, or a gazelle.
[ The Prizes ]
 (This girl will be raffled off at the end of this event. She must stay in the pack.) |

Among family, Alnilam stood at the highest position atop of High Moon Point. Behind her and towards her left stood Endymion and Dyanna, both who had recently returned from their pilgrimage to find their constellations and both now young adults. Their two sisters though were not among them. Alnilam was bursting at the seams with pride and it obviously showed on her face as she turned to look back over her shoulder to see them again. Having them away for so long had been hard, even to the point she worried they would not return and simply live out their lives in the rogue lands. Happily though, they were back and they were at least partially a whole family again. She simply needed to wait for her two remaining daughters to find their guiding stars in the sky.
Her head turned back around, facing the mountains that protected the eastern border of her pack lands and one that also housed the pack when they were not hunting the plains all around her. The darker coated canine threw her head back and left forth a long, low howl that could likely be heard for miles around. It was one to summon her pack. At least what could hear her message. It was time once more for celebration as a full moon was lighting up the night for them and even more exciting was that a seer within the pack had predicted that a meteor shower would also take place during it.
"Join your brothers and sisters tonight as we give thanks for a fruitful year! Tonight we are together! Tonight we remember!"
Preparations had been in the works for over a week now, what with hunting, accessories for the wild dogs of the pack to wear as well as just collecting trinkets to gift to the Mothers of the Night tonight. In fact, even Alnilam had a bundle of dried, but still relatively rare, fragrant herbs sitting beside her paw to eventually place in the pile that would eventually replace the spot she was sitting in. Hopefully they would look kindly on her and her family for the next year. Not only her, but the entire pack as well. Tonight there would be feasting, dancing, storytelling, possibly marriages, newcomers and life within the pack. Tonight would be a special night and one to remember through the seasons, assuming the seer had been correct and there was a meteor shower tonight as well as this sort of double event had never happened before. |

Quaji let me know if you want me to take this post out :3
Green Ever After Since the Watembezi and Tangambili are going to be sister packs I figured her and Adolfo could mosey this way XD If you aren't going to throw him in this let me know and i'll edit my post <3
Seaki OMG! Perfect time for Xanthus to meet Abidemi lmao! And for him to meet the Tangambili leader
CaliWolfe Time for some sibling RP <3
 This was so exciting for her. She had no idea where they were going or how long it was going to take to get there but this was still so exciting. They were going to a neighboring packs celebration and she had been so thrilled when mother had said they were all going. The cubs weren't being left behind with a sitter, they were GOING! She had been bounds and leaps of energy for a good portion of the trip and they had finally arrived and she had been sitting anxiously at her mothers feet, her head pressing back against her moms underbelly as she looked up and smiled happily at her. "Momma! Can I go play?? She was sure there were other pups around and she wanted to go explore!
Her attention however was taken by the long howl that pierced the night and she instantly sat a little straighter. She listened as the pretty swirled female spoke and she gave a small howl of delight after the female stopped speaking. She was so happy they were here and she wondered if they would travel to this pack often to enjoy in such festivities. "What is a meteor shower?" She had heard some other canines talking about it and she wondered what it was. "Is it like a rain shower?" Such a curious pup.
 Violet gaze watched as the Alpha of the Nyota-Wasomaji lifted back her graceful face and howled her song into the night. She felt a chill go down her spine as she called forth the packs members. She had heard of the celebration through their sister pack, the Tangambili. She wasn't sure if Leini was going to join, the current pack Advisor, but she had asked to bring Xanthus, their child ruler along. She figured it would be good exposure for him, allow him to see how other packs ran their show. She had hoped Adolfo hadn't minded. She thought it would be good for the young'un and her and Adolfo were planning on having some pups of their own soon, so this would be great practice for them. However, they had a bit more precious of cargo at paw. This was their future Alpha, he had to be kept safe, a little more so than the average pup. She glanced over towards her mate and then the small bundle of white and yellow that was sitting anxiously nearby.
"What do you think so far?" She asked the young pup as she smiled over at her mate. She had a good idea of what Adolfo thought of the celebration. She was curious to what was going on in his little brain. He was going to be the future leader, might as well get a good understanding of what he thought. She looked down at Xanthus and patiently awaited his response, her ears flicking slightly as she took in the sounds of the ambience around them. Her gaze momentarily looked towards an excited orange pup as she howled and she couldn't help but smile. At least Xanthus would have someone to play with now.
Unfortunately for him, both of his parents had died tragically and he was the sole heir. He had been old enough to miss them and he still felt a great deal of sadness in his chest. However, he was fortunate enough to have amazing pack mates to help him along the way and make sure he didn't slip up. His dark gaze flicked up to the female and male who had brought him from the safety of the pack to this place. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about it yet. He knew it was supposed to help him, but he wasn't exactly sure how yet. He was quite, reserved and calm. He was absorbing everything like a sponge and he wasn't phased when the howl from the Alpha female shattered the silence of the night.
His ears picked up on a much smaller and weaker howl and his gaze flicked over to see who had done it. They settled upon the small female who was nestled between her mothers, he assumed it was her mother, legs and he suddenly felt the urge to go check it out. There were no pups in the Watembezi as of right now, it was just him. So he was missing out in the play mate section. He glanced up at Naveen, as she had asked him a question. What did he think of this place? "I like that there are many packs that have come to celebrate. It shows kinship and comradary between the different areas." He may be a pup but he was awfully smart and quick to learn. Bless his parents.
He turned his gaze back to the small female with the black markings. She had two siblings there with her as well, both female but this one was seemingly excited to be there. He was curious about this and wondered if it would be okay for him to go over and say hi. Perhaps Naveen would take him. "Do you think we could go say hi?". |

"It must be a big rain shower." Cheshi commented. The hat she had made for herself slipping off her head, and the boots she had fashioned for were wearing down to the base. Even though that was true- and Cheshi felt the instant need to fix it, the flower button she had given specially to Abidemi stayed in tack. Cheshi smiled in pride that it had survived the long journey here, and that her happy sister kept it on her floppy black ear for so long. Needless to say she was pleased with her work and had they been at home would have fished for compliments.
However they weren't home, they were in a strangers land. It was cool and dark, but everyone seemed so excited and full of life. It seemed to fill Cheshi up with infident energy, and she had easily forgotten how long they had spent walking all day. It was then that Cheshi blurted out "Race you to that rock!" And took off running.
Anemy held her head high and with a sticking confidence and near desire to join in Alniam's howl. However she resisted, she didn't want to disgrace her family or pack by being so rambunctious. Instead she remained quiet as she approached the area and listened carefully to the Baraza's words. 'Together' she thought to herself, and looked around in hopes of eyeing her brother Ahote. She hadn't seen him since her return to the pack and if she did spot him she was likely to ram him over playfully.
She ceased to catch sight of him though, although catching the eyes of a few of her other siblings wasn't hard. She then spotted a wild dog of a darker coat hunched over. 'Perfect.' she grinned, and crept over slowly towards Meza'lnyota. "Hey." She said flatly, although a cheeky expression of glee captivated her face. "Are you new, you don't look familiar?" She paused for a moment, no wait she did actually. Whatever, time to continue. "I'm Anemy, what's your name?" |

The pale male was foot falls behind his mate, the gentle gray female whom was watching a little white and yellow bundle with caring eyes. It was not long after they had found an accommodating location to be seated and relax that a wonderful sound echoed and seemed to be carried by the winds. Adolfo could not help, but to lift his head and smile with closed eyes. He did not need to see whom the sound had come from, not many could assume such a song that was both gentle and powerful. Once it was near ending he gazed at Naveen with tender eyes, than Xanthus. He was happy as could be, nothing could probably trump this moment beyond starting their own blood family.
Than the voices had begun, wild dogs seemed to pour out of the dark areas where the moon couldn't touch and he was happily surprised at how many faces he came to see. It was a tremendous sight, such pride and joy filled him with and he hoped that such numbers would be visible among Naveen and his home when the time came for such festivals.
It wasn't long before Xanthus and Naveen were speaking, how she enjoyed speaking with the young royal, understanding him and urging him to give it his all. Those characters were what drove Adolfos love to begin with and he knew she'd be a fantastic mother. The conversation ended abruptly though as a small female voice filled with question began to speak and ramble. When Xanthus spooke, he only spoke with Naveen and Adolfo smiled at the pair, finally Xanthus would have a much needed playmate. "I don't see why not, do you Naveen?" He asked playfully, his tone had a small happy laugh to go along with it. |

 Maziwa had been a little hesitant to take her children out of the pack's lands. It would be their first time outside of the lands, but not their first full moon. It was important for children to experience the world, however, and she didn't want to stop them from exploring. She watched them closely, not wanting to get hurt. "Yes, go play, but listen to those in this pack - we are not at home."
She gave a small huff, smiling at her pups. She hoped to foster a better relationship with this pack. They were a bit different than her own pack, but she felt they were very kind.
Tonight, Maziwa was not a leader, only a mother with her children at a celebration. |

The voice of her sister spoke up as she said it must be a big rain shower and she decided that must be it. What else could it be? But there weren't any clouds in the sky. The confused pup looked up and wondered how they were going to watch it rain when there were no clouds. This made no sense to her. Her sister definitely looked like she was dressed for it to rain. However, her thoughts were stolen away as her mother said they could go play and before she could even announce her own ideas her sister had already decided it was a game of who was the fastest.
"That's cheating!" She shouted as she took off after her sister. Her little legs pumped as she tried to catch up. She finally reached her sister and gave a burst of giggles but her tone quickly changed because the wind decided to pick up, which wasn't an issue. The issue was what was about to happen. The bow that had been keeping the flower in place on her ear, the one her sister had slaved over to make, had come undone and away in the wind it went. She was so close to passing her sibling and beating here but she had to stop when the flower came lose from her ear and she watched, horrified, as it was carried away in the wind and with an "Oh-no! Your Gift!" She quickly changed directions and chased after it instead.
She looked over warmly at her mate as he responded to the small pup that would one day be their leader and she looked down at the male and then back at Adolfo. "I see nothing wrong with it." She said with a tone of laughter in her voice. Surely this was be good for him, especially with there being so many pups around for him to socialize with. She lowered her head down and nudged him away so that he could go and have some fun. The poor thing needed it, she was almost sure. Training day in and day out and lesson after lesson. Poor thing would never have a childhood. He needed this. Violet gaze fell to her mate, "Do you want to stay here or go mingle with their mother?" She asked refereeing to the bright orange female who had the three little ones.
She couldn't help but be envious of the female and her healthy daughters. The maternal clock inside her was ticking and she looked at her mate with longing eyes. She wanted pups. She wanted their family to start growing. Hopefully soon, with the weather getting nicer and them now having the safety of a pack, perhaps it would happen. She truly wanted, more than anything for them to enjoy parenthood and watch as their children would grow and leave to discover on their own what she and adolfo had done themselves.
A smile formed on his maw and as Naveen nudged him off he scampered into the direction that the two females had taken off in. He wanted to introduce himself properly, but it didn't seem like that was going to happen how he wanted it to. As he raced to catch up he watched as the black and orange pup turned and started chasing a floating flower in the wind. Which, much to his luck, was heading his way. He figured he'd get it for her instead of her exhausting herself. He changed his path slightly and the flower came within reach and he jumped up, grabbing the strings of it and secured it in his tiny teeth.
He turned in the direction of the two female pups and he padded over to them. He watched as the black and orange female came scampering up to him, panting a great deal a look of relief in her eyes and he placed it at her feet with a look of triumph in his eyes. "I believe this is yours." He said with a small smile, as he backed up a few paces to give her room. He wasn't really sure how she was going to react to his presence. "I'm Xanthus. May I have the honor of knowing your name?" He was such a gentle dog. One rule his mother always had was to be a gentleman, to show the ladies the respect they deserved. Oh how he missed his parents. |

Cheshi laughed happily as the wind batted against her own ears, it felt just like home the way it did that. Continuing to run she stopped at the holler of Abidemi's voice and had to press her legs firmly into the dirt as she slid against the ground to stop. She scrambled to collect herself and turn around at the same time, nearly tripping on her boots as they shook themselves free of her legs.
She watched, terrified as the pretty bow she had fashioned drifted off with the wind. "Ah! Get back here!" She cried, heading in the direction her sister was already scampering in. Relief then washed over her face as a yellow coated dog leapt up to retrieve it. Approaching, now more slowly and in a fastened walk, she exclaimed cheerfully "You caught it!" Panting between breathes she promptly stood next to her sister in glee. "Thank you so much! If it had blown away I-" No, she didn't want to think about that. All her hard work taken with a simple breeze, it was nearly so! That thought sent a shiver up her spine. "Ah.. Um. I'm Cheshi! This is Abidemi!" She gave her sister a snuggle. "And you're?" She sought to remember his name, he had just mentioned it to Abi earlier hadn't he? Although Cheshi's heart was pounding so loud it was in her ears at that point, she must have overlooked whatever it was he had said. |

Her sister had shared the same horrified feelings as the bow had drifted away and she was already getting worn out from the sprint with Ches, on top of their long walk to this place. Her little tongue hung out of her mouth as she chased after it and watched as it landed in the mouth of a white and gold pup. She came to a halt, digging her hind legs down as she slide on the ground, dust coming up all over the place as she halted before him and watched as he placed it on the ground at her paws. She panted and looked at him and then at it and picked it up happily. Her sister would have to replace it on her ear. "Th-ank y-ou so mu-ch." She replied between breaths.
Xanthus huh? That was a nice name. She was about to respond when her sister came up with a snuggle and she giggled as she asked what the males name was. "His name is Xanthus." She said with a nudge back to her sister. "Are you with this pack?" She asked looking around at the now growing number of wild dogs that had suddenly appeared from the shadows. "We just traveled a really long ways to get here to watch the meteor shower." She said proudly as she finally caught all of her breath. "Want to play with us?" She asked excitedly. She looked over at her sister, she hoped she hadn't minded she just asked like that. He had just saved her awesome gift after all.
She nuzzled him affectionately as he agreed to the mingling and she stood up and gave a nod of agreement. "Perhaps you are right." Lord knows how wild it could be having cubs, especially since she had three of them and no mate. She looked around as members from the pack they had traveled to had started to gather and she couldn't help but feel happy.
She looked over at Adolfo as he lead the way to the orange female and she couldn't help but smile as he took possession of the small bundle that had arrived with them. She didn't feel the need to correct him but she could knew he was blushing with that. He hadn't told a lie, he was in their charge, so he was basically theirs she they could refer to him as theirs for the time being. She gave him a small lick behind the ear and looked at the female before them. "I'm Naveen and this handsome brute is Adolfo."
She certainly was polite he gave her a smile and his attention was averted to the white and orange sister as she came barreling up like wilder beast. Cheshi and Abidemi, those were lovely names and he gave a bow of his head to the two girls. Cheshi, Abidemi, I'm honored to meet you both." He looked at each one of them as he addressed them and he decided he'd take a seat since it seemed they might be there for a moment. He looked over to Abidemi as she asked if he was with this pack and he shook his head with a smile. "No, I'm from the Watembezi'Mto."
So they had traveled days to get here? He had too, perhaps they were from that pack that was just below theirs in the valley. It was possible, from what he understood their mother had just had a small litter, perhaps these were the pups? He decided it wasn't important to know and his tail wagged at the invite to some play time. More than anything he wanted to play and here was his invite. He gave a happy grin and he couldn't help the enthusiasm in his response. "I'd be honored." He said standing up ready to go. As long as the other sibling was alright with it. He looked at her with hopeful eyes. |

Cheshi breathed out heavily as Xanthus sat, conforming they both had a moment to rest. She quickly adjusted her boots as they were about to fall off her feet, having slid all the way to her toes from her rushed sprint. At the mention of her sister offering the male to play Cheshi breathed out a "Of course!" as her eyes shifted from Abi to Xanthus with a grin. "Just not tag." She huffed.
Back home Ches was known for being terrible at tag. She'd often have several other layers of clothes- more experiments she slaved to make, and would trip over each and every one of them, ending up being "it." Not that it wasn't fun or anything, she quite enjoyed tag. She enjoyed racing, and she enjoyed all sorts of sports. The reason she did so horribly at them though was the same, her desire to be her own test subject with clothes. The items she took more pride in she'd wear more frequently, but Cheshi didn't badger her sisters and brother with wearing her clothes unless they were worth it. Like Abi's flower bow. Cheshi felt it was made with top quality and was happy to give it away. Ches boots on the other hand were going to fall apart soon and she'd have to throw them away or stich them up again, so they weren't so top quality. Had they been, she'd force her other sister to wear them.
"So we could... Um... Do you have any suggestions?" She asked the male as her tail wagged in excitement. |
