Rules
1. This thread will be used for multiple events! Things are bound to change <3
2. Please read the rules for the contest you are entering. Some maybe be for SoA Newbies, some may be for PACK newbies, and some may be open to everyone.
3. In the case of pups from a breeding, please do not allow your pup to wander outside of the lands until adolescence unless you discuss the plot with me (seaki) first! After that, it is fair game.
4. Adult Dogs from pride customs must stay within the pack as members unless you have a really good plot you would like to play out, but please talk with Seaki first! Adult Members may travel outside the pack at any time, so rogue plots are okay if they are returning :3
5. I reserve the right to add rules as needed.

Trying for Pup [2]!
Name of Pup: Abidemi
Future Rank: Healer
Prompt Number: 2
Response: Demi was curious, as she was about most things. It hadn't been long since they had been allowed outside of the den and she had wanted to see everything. She happened upon Damu first, she had recalled him being in the den many times when she was still growing and she wanted to play.
In her mind this is how it was going to turn out. She was going to stalk him, silently, then pounce on him and have him possibly catch her in the act or her catch him by surprise and have him chase her. She wasn't expecting what was about to happen.
Inch by inch she wiggled her way closer to the unsuspecting victim who was, according to her point of view, enjoying the small warmth of the sun during this frigged day. Her tail was wagging furiously in anticipation and she kept telling herself to remain calm and quite as she inched her way closer and closer, her heart pounding in her chest. She finally got within pouncing distance and she scrunched herself close to the ground and sprung forward, tapping his rump then bounding to the side waiting for him to chase her.
Instead she got a response of a gasp and franticly twitching ears and eyes racing, but the seemed to settle because the wind was blowing from her to him. She frowned and sat down realizing he wasn't going to pounce her. She planted her front feet forward and her rump in the air, tail wagging as she gave a small yipe and mock pounced towards him hoping to stir him up. "Won't you play with me Damu!?" She said hopefull.
"I'm sorry Demi, but I cannot play as you wish me to play with you."He gave her a smile, which was more sad than happy and she wondered why . She whined and scooted herself closer to him and nudged his legs looking up at him pleadingly. "bu..but why not?" She leaned into his body still looking upwards and she felt him sigh. She wanted to play and she didn't know why he couldn't. "My sight has gone away and I cannot see you to chase you." Demi looked down at the ground and looked back up at her brother and felt a sadness within her. She wouldn't like to not be able to see. "Where you born that way Damu?" She watched him shake his head and she frowned before going on. "I'm going to try and find a way to fix your sight." In that moment she wanted to try and find a way to fix her brothers sight and make him able to see again. There was so much pretty things he wasn't able to get to see and she wanted him to share in with that. "I'll be cheering for you." He gave her a hopeful smile and she thumped her tail against the ground.
Now that she had that covered in her small mind aybe there was something else that she could do with her brother then? Playing was always fun but maybe she could do something that he could do with her. "Can you tell me about how the pack came to be?" She looked up at him hopeful and she yipped with glee as he nodded and she settled down by his chest as he began to tell her what he knew of their past.

Trying for Pup [3]!
Name of Pup: Cheshi
Future Rank: Artisan
Prompt Number: 3
Response: It was cold. The winds sung songs and whispered howls as they maneuvered over rocks and cliffs, ending with whipped against Cheshi's ears. She whined as she flattened said ears to her skull. Pulling up her leg warmers with her teeth she swore she could hear one of her siblings snicker. She could feel her blood boil in flooded embarrassment as they laughed at her paw-made clothes. Had she gotten clothes from an Artisan she'd be fine and no snickers or finger pointing would ensue. Instead she had decided to fashion her own.
Swallowing her fear of being rejected Cheshi walked by them with pride in her stance. They weren't about to get her spirits down, not today! Even after she had decided it was a great idea to make a hat of twigs; or the time she decided flowers would make fantastic neck warmers. Or today, when after collecting fur that had fallen off everyone's pelts would be another layer of warmth. Well, the last idea wasn't so bad. Only Cheshi had no way of keeping the furs together and had to rely on sticky tree sap to do the job for her. She was rather confident in this creation though, and ran around wearing it with all the pride and vigor a king possessed. After all, it was the night of the full moon. The gods would hear her prayers and if they heard them give her the skills she needed to make great, no, stupendous clothing. If she could make stupendous clothing, then everyone would be warm. That was, everyone would be happy.
Why she could still hear her mother's voice replaying in her head; "Make a wish, and if they hear the gods will see it true." Cheshi took it to the heart and eagerly waited for night to come. Now, as she strolled by her siblings and the other pups, she had her chance. She strolled up to the nearest grown-up looking dog she could find, and coincidently it happened to be Damu she found. She looked at him briefly to get an idea of how this worked. And Damu was... Howling? Was she suppose to howl her wish too? As she pondered it her sisters wandered up behind her leaving her sitting motionless, gazing at the stars. It was so pretty and bright. Was that where the gods lived? Cheshi shook her head to clear her mind. Artisan, right! That was her goal and the gods were suppose to help her. 'Only if they hear though' she reminded herself and throwing her head back she began yipping to the sky restlessly.

Trying for Pup [3]!
Name of Pup: Kumaukrekon
Future Rank: Sentry
Prompt Number: 3
Response: Excited as ever, Kuma took in a deep breath as she looked to the sky to see the full moon beaming down at her. It was huge, and gorgeous and her excitement was over whelming and she didn't know how to control herself. She waited for the singing to start before she too joined along with it. She had stayed quiet most of the time until that moment when it was time to sing. She let out her voice with the rest of the pack, her siblings close by, along with her mother.
To Kumaukrekon, this was the best moment she could hope for. It was a moment she would never forget, and would never want to forget. Her tail was wagging upon the ground. She closed her eyes as she continued to sing, though her lungs weren't as big, and she ended up having to take a few breaths before singing again. Her howls weren't as loud as some, but she gave it her all with every bit.

Trying for Pup [1]!
Name of Pup: Warfa'rin
Future Rank: Healer (possibly with a period as a Journeyman to learn more about healing outside the pride)
Prompt Number: 2 and 4 (RPing her as an adolescent or young adult here)
Response: Warfa couldn't remember if she'd ever been told straight up that her brother was blind, and what it meant. She wasn't even sure when she'd realized he was different. It was just normal for him to depend on nose and ears instead of eyes, and she'd never really reflected on it. He'd always been that way, after all. As far as she knew as a cub it was normal for brothers to be that way. Others didn't find it as natural, and it was probably reactions from strangers that had finally clued her in. But she still couldn't see him as flawed or sick, not really. Sure, he might not have thrived in a situation where he had to fend for himself in the rogue lands. That wasn't relevant, however. Their pack took care of their own and combined their strengths for the benefit of all.
She sniffed a thorny bush, reading the information about who'd been there and when. After taking it all in she left her own marking. Warfa was fairly sure she'd be able to live a good without her eyes if she had to. Now her nose was another matter... How could she smell greetings, or find prey, or feel the stink of sickness if she didn't have it? She could never hope to be a healer if she lost the use of her nose.
Was there even a word for not being able to smell? She knew "deaf" and "blind", but she had never encountered or heard about anyone with a crippled sense of smell. Was that even a thing? And how could one live with that kind of disability? It boggled her mind.
She looked towards the horizon, one paw lifted as if she was unsure where to go next. Perhaps she would be able to learn about such things if she left pack territory. She shook her head and snorted air through her nostrils, clearing her nose.
"Not today," she said to herself and started walking back into their territory. The healers of the pack still had much to teach her. At some point her path might lead her away from home for a while, but she wasn't about to rush into the great unknown on a whim. This was home, and this was where she had her family.

Trying for Pup [1]!
Name of Pup: Chupa (meaning jump)
Future Rank: Gatherer (Maybe with a few weeks as a journeyman in order to locate supplies and learn about things that grow further than the borders?)
Prompt Number: 3
Response:
Chupa was excited. Although this was a daily emotion for her, the young pup struggled to keep it under control and was barking cheerfully as she leapt her way across various jagged pieces of cliff. Stumbling slightly, the crimson youngster regained her balance and looked with trepidation to the rest of the pack. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. Other wild dogs wore furs or legwarmers in order to protect themselves from the bitter air. Chupa had never found a need for such garments. Her small body was always warm from the excitement that seemed to so often present itself in a physical form; jumping, skipping and running seemed her speciality.
She turned to face the full moon and was taken in by it's huge and beaming form. It was so beautiful. So enchanting. She had always loved things from the outside world, outside the pack. Often she would spend her days finding any and all items she could, and wondering just what was beyond the borders. Chupa wiggled slightly on the spot, her legs splayed out beneath her to steady her shaking limbs. Her energy, she thought, must be able to come out in one big howl!
As she drew a rather animated breath as big as her lungs would allow, her large and clumsy feet slipped slightly on the cold rock. What started as a promising and almost melodious small howl turned into one of surprise and mild pain as the red pup found herself tumbling into a mass of spindly limbs and fur. She landed safely albeit awkwardly. Chupa could hear a few laughs. She didn't know whether they were endearing or simply sounds of embarrassment. She didn't mind either. In all honesty she had a bit of a reputation for not being entirely sure-footed. The young female let out a giggle. Plucking herself from the ground she stood, shook off the embarrassment and let out a howl as big as her mouth would allow her.
