The Place:
Sparse Copse
The Players:
Alsoomse, feral dog
Adamant, feral dog (hopeful pack member)
Allegro, feral dog
The Scene:
So she didt kill that rabbit last night, it doesn't bother her, why? Because she found a hare and there bigger then rabbits. Now Alsoomse is making her way back to where the pack can normally be found carrying the rather dead buck in her bloody jaws. Her nose and lip have crusted over with dry blood forming a jagged looking scar. Just another to add to the rest she has, this one can be seen though.
And she's not the only one with scars that can be seen. The left corner of Adamant's mouth looks pretty nasty, all smeared with blood. An unpleasant scab runs up towards his cheek, making it look like he's smiling lopsidedly. But the mongrel is in good spirits otherwise, even if it hurts to eat thanks to the other scab on the roof of his mouth. He doesn't lay with the rest of the pack, but he's no longer as aloof as before. He lifts his head when Alsoomse approaches, and his tail gives a slow, sweeping wag. "Well, I see you can kill things after all," he remarks.
Allegro doesn't have any scars. He's too pretty for scars! .. Or, he just hasn't been in any recent fun bloodbaths to have any new scars to speak of. Regardless, the multi-colored mutt finds himself drawn back to the place in which he met that pup. Maybe she's still about. Goodness knows she's the most intersting thing he's found so far in these parts despite her being ... well, a puppy. Tail lightly waving in a lazy and aimless way, Allegro arrives upon the copse, one ear erecting as he he comes across the sight of dogs, some awake and some asleep. At least one of the awakened is semi-familiar to him, and he takes in a bit of a scent before continuing forward.
A glare is sent towards Adamant as she pauses in her normal spot near a tree and settles down to her haunches, hare falling to her paws. "Freyr caught it again, he had the right to kill it. Tha is why I didn't." Alsoomse snorts, which hurts seeing how are nose is hurt. "As for killing, you'd be surprized to know everthing that has died thanks to my jaws." If it wasn't for her long fur the countless scars would been seen across her form. That's just life for a pitfigher though. A ear flicks an her attention goes to Allegro whom she eyes a few moments.. "What the hell do you want?"
"Oh ho ho, I /would/ be surprised," Adamant snorts, but any further taunting is pushed aside as Allegro approaches. Another familiar face! "Well, 'Legro! Come here to put more puppies to work?" He smirks, despite the pain this causes. Damn, that wound is going to put a damper on his winning smile.
Allegro perks an ear at the greeting given by the unfamiliar female, and faintly does an edge of his muzle quirk upward. "Manners, manners, man," he replies with a click of his tongue following his words. "/Hello/ to yeh too." Grinning lightly, his eyes soon flick to Adamant and the other dog's words inspire a snort. "Naw, I'll leave the connivin' to you. S'too much effort for me t'waste doin', y'know? But hey, I must'a made a lastin' impression on you. You remembered my name! Gotta say I'm flattered," he says with a light bow of his front half. "Can't say I done you the same. I sure don't rememeber yours." Smirking vaguely, he pauses a healthy distance away from the congregated.
Alsoomse turns to glare at Adamant.. "Want me to show you then do you? Perhaps I'll use your hide to prove my point." She offers with a snap of her jaws. Her gaze drifts back to Allegro, wha is it with all these strange dogs lately? "I'm so amused.. No.. What do you want dog?" She questions with a few lashes of her tail an a half lick across her scabbed up maw.
Adamant only offers a grunt in response to both Alsoomse and Allegro. Oh no, he's more interested in how Alsoomse will handle the strange dog. The mongrel crosses his forepaws and looks infinitely interested in Allegro's response. Yes, just what /do/ you want?
"First've all," says Allegro whose eyes are drawn again to Alsoomse, "m'name's not "dog". It's Allegro an' you can call me that, or Al, or 'Legro as yo' buddy seems to fancy," he says with a look over to Adamant, "or whatever version of 'Allegro' you take a likin' to. It'd be cool if you tell me your name so I can call you by that. /Or/ you can keep callin' me Dog and I'll just have to turn around and call you Bitch. It's whatever you wanna do, ma." He grins a little and slightly lifts a brow, watching her expectantly. "Secondly, I came lookin' for lil' bit. Uh...Har-lo-queen. Or somethin' like that. She around?"
Alsoomse doesn't seem to flinch at the comments from the new dog, she eyes him thinly before her maw wiggles. "I see.. She's asleep I'm sure." There's a pause before she goes own. "My name is Alsoomse, one of the pack who's lands you are upon by the way." She doesn't feel the need to keep being nasty to this new male, they need members in there group so she might as well be nice. "Were ye from Allegro?" As for Adamant she flate out ignores him as if he was a rock. Har.
Aww, but Adamant's only trying to be a friend. A jerk of a friend, that is. The rather anti-climactic resolution to the hostilities disappoints him greatly, but he manages to keep his trap shut for now.
"Cool. Alsoomse? Ha! You an' me both could be 'Al'," replies Allegro with a smirk. Not much seems to deter this fellow, and his grin comes easily once more as he regards her. "From? Ain't really from nowhere," he says with a flick of an ear, glancing briefly behind his shoulder. "From everywhere. And yeah, lil' bit told me 'bout this pack. Jus' somethin' about a Jasper and .. somebody else. Don' remember who. But anyway.." his attention gradually moves to Adamant. "What're /you/ still doin' here? Settlin' down?" he asks with a chuckle, a brow
gently lifted.
"Jasper and Freyr are the leaders.." Alsoomse smirks a bit. "That would could.. Though your not allowed." Freyr is the only one she'll let call her Al, Jasper normally calls her lass so she'll let that slide. "His around out of the goodness of someone's heart it seems." Naw she doesn't care to much about Adamant it seems.
"I stay for the company," Adamant retorts sarcastically, giving Alsoomse a deliberate smirk. His eyes then go again to Allegro. "Who knows? Perhaps I'll settle here, perhaps I'll settle there. There seems to be a need here for hunters." Another jibe at Alsoomse. She seems to be his favorite subject today.
Allegro lifts a brow. "I'm not allowed?" retorts he with a slight snort to her. "Pft. I do what I want, ma. But you ain't gotta worry. I ain't got no want to call you Al." Slowly does he begin to settle onto her haunches, glancing over to Adamant again, grinning at his words. "Hunters, huh? Hm, I dunno. I got a hard time sharin' my food, don't you?.." He trails off, eyeing the sleeping dogs that make up this pack. "Freyr, eh? Hm. Well they ain't gonna care if I hang out for a minute, huh?" he asks, the question directed towards Alsoomse.
Alsoomse ignores Adamant, for the moment it seems, she glances over eyeing him faintly though seeming to say 'better watch your step'. She shrugs at Allegro. "You already are so I don't see what not." An when that said she goes about ripping into the hare she KILLED and eatting it.. Har..
The smirk returns to Adamant's muzzle. "I have no problem sharing my kills," he responds matter-of-factly. "It's a part of pack life." Not that he's made any kills since he began hanging out with the pack. At least none he's shared. Making him a liar.
Allegro turns an ear to the side as he regards Adamant with an empty gaze. "..Right," he answers, half-smirking after the word is spoken. "I can see the look of generosity pourin' from yo' face. .. An' speakin' of yo' face.." HIs eys narrow a little as he leans forward, as if by donig this he'll somehow get a better look at his jaw injury. "Th'ell happened to you?" A pause, and he looks over to Alsoomse, noting the forming scar on her nose. "And you? What'd y'all do, fight each other?"
"The only thing his shared are his damn fleas." Alsoomse offers with a faint tone an licks across her maw before peering at Allegro. "Went hunting for rabbits last night. Got hold of a buck but didn't have a good hold on 'em so he got me. Had to let 'em go, Freyr killed 'em though." Hey she's truthful at least.
"The same could be said of our dear Alsoomse here," Adamant retorts, his smirk splitting into a rather painful grin. "And yes, rabbits. They have sharp little claws." He pushes himself up to a sitting position and, as though the mention of fleas triggered an itch, he allows himself a comfortable scratch.
"Rabbits?" Both of Allegro's ears shoot up at that. Rabbits? They went hunting? And that means .. SCRAPS! "Yeah yeah, they got some sharp claws," he agrees a little absently as he stand again and snifs the air. Of course he gets a big whiff of blood, but this is from Alsoome's kill. Hmm. "Did a lot've y'all get some?" he asks, directing the question to the both of them.
Alsoomse rolls her eyes as she hears Adamant. "I share my kills to ones that are in the pack.. You are not last I checked." She points out with a lash of her tail before looking to Allergo. "Freyr was the only one that got lucky.. I got this hare today." There's a half ponder before she grins, to herself mostly.. She rips off the other haunch of the hare and tosses it towards Allegro. "Looks like you might could use bite." So she lied about only given food to packmates.
Well! Adamant pauses in his scratching when Alsoomse boldly offers the haunch to Allegro. Oh, he sees how it is. "Well, I see you have a soft spot for beggars," he grumbles, returning to the business of obliterating that awful itch on his neck. "If I were capable, I'd lower myself to that level for a bite."
Dude, what? Allegro's brows raise sharply at the sudden and rather unexpected offering as it's tossed his way, but ... he's not fool. He's not going to let such a thing go to waste! Quickly, he stands and nearly pounces on the thing, claiming it with his mouth and looking with narrowed eyes towards others who might want to claim his prize. Namely, Adamant. But, seeing the dog not barreling after the leg, he lifts the haunch from the ground and moves off a few paces with it before plopping dwn onto his haunchese and lowering the meat. "I ain't beg for
nothin'," he snorts at the other dog. "But yo know what? In a minute my belly ain't gonna be grumblin', so I ain't got no problem with whatever you come up with to say. /Thank you/" he extends to Alsoomse, offering her a grin.
"He didn't beg you stupid cur." Alsoomse offers to Adamant. "But he hasn't pissed me off like you have either so I felt like being nice." She nods to Allegro. "Sure.. Figured you would appricate it more then someone else here.."
Now it's two against one, it seems. Adamant, the itch appeased, gives himself a good shake and tilts his head slightly to one side. "So you have no issues with being a hypocrite," he continues the attack, still smirking fiendishly. "I see. You seem to have developed some human qualities." It's the worst insult he could dish out. Comparing any dog to a human is as low as low could be.
Allegro busies himself with eating his free meal. Mmm, nothing like a free meal to make a mood grow even merrier! His eyes half lid as he swallows down the meat, keeping an ear half-opened for the conversation at hand. And it's because of the conversation at hand that the dog pausing in his chew/swallow routine and peers over at Adamant with furrowed brows. That was cold. "Hey man, let her be, huh?"
Alsoomse actually smiles some as she watches Allegro, not a evil one just a normal smile. He half reminds her of someone from her past perhaps. A ear flicks to Adamant an a thick growl escapes the ex-fighters jaws as she hauls herself up onto her paws an starts moving towards Adamant. "You must really be looking for a quick trip to the afterlife dog.."
Mmm, that got a rise out of her. Adamant's smirk shifts into a sinister smile, but he makes no move to stand, nor to crouch in defense. He remains sitting, seemingly unperturbed. In fact, his tail gives a few slow wags--he's certainly enjoying this. "Why, are you offering?" he responds nonchalantly. "Because aside from that hare, I've yet to see you kill anything. Have you really got it in you?" In other words: Adamant doesn't know when to shut up.
This isn't going to turn out well, is it? And dang it, he's not even finished eating yet! A wistful look is given to the meat that's still left on the bone, and it's with a /great/ deal of willpower that Allegro turns his eyes from it to instead watch the two other dogs. "Hey, both'a ya's is already hurt. And y'all start fightin', it's gonna wake up whoever's in charge here, an' you're gonna get your butt kicked by'em, man," he says, twisting his head a little as he watches Adamant.
"Jasper wouldn't stop me." He might help after all.. An she has a feeling Freyr would. Alsoomse says nothing as she moves to a mere foot in front of Adamant, off white colored fangs seen as she snarls. "Do you really want me to show you Adamant?" She questions with a thin tone, her form tensing while her hackles are bristled.
Hmm, there's a good question. If he was any kind of idiot, Adamant would answer in the affirmative. For in the eyes of Alsoomse, he sees something almost terrifying: a killer instinct. It's apparent she would have no problems killing him, and for all his critisizing wit, Adamant is no fighter. Alsoomse out-weighs him. He would be dead before his corpse hit the ground. The smile remains, however, as he slowly and quietly responds: "No. I can see you've got it in you."
Allegro only watches on. He's not about to get in the middle of this. He barely knows either of the two of them, and if they want to fight it out .. well, he's not going to kill himself trying to stop them. And so, he watches, head slightly lifted and ears pressed forward. But then things seem to dissipate, or so he'd hope as he hears Adamant's reply. He glances between the two of them before he lowers his head to go back to eating. If they fight, he /might/ be chased out of here by the others just because he's unknown .. and he'sn ot about ot leave this food behind!
Alsoomse narrowed gaze stays on Adamant, there's fire in her eyes, which show nothing but anger and hatred it seems. It doesn't take a lot to get her spurred into anger, so long in the pits and she's not even that old of a dog to been through all she went through. "Don't you ever question my ability to kill something Adamant.. Or I swear your be dead before the words leave your maw." She snaps out at the male, jaws coming a mere few inches from his as a thick growl escapes her chest in a rumble. With that said she turns and moves back to where she was
and settles back down, back to Adamant. Her ears flick behind her listioning to any movement or words that he might have to offer. Hackles stilled stiff, muscles tremble under her thick fur while her forepaws grip at the earth.
But Adamant offers no words, nor does he flinch at the clash of teeth. He remains sitting where he was, keeping a careful eye on the female as she retreats, and then he attacks another itch, this time on his chest, as though nothing ever happened. As if he didn't come inches away from getting his throat torn out. Nope, life's all hunky-dory for him!
Scarf! He nearly chokes doing it, but Allegro finishes up his meal, leaving just the bone, though that he doesn't seem very willing to part with just yet. He glances between the two quickly. As Alsoomse backs off, he exhales a breath before chuckling his throat. "Y'all two need to learn the words "good will"," he says with a snicker and a dismissive wave of his tail. "Thanks for dinner," he extends to Alsoomse, "an' the show..." he adds with a chuckle and glance to Adamant. "Btu I need to bounce. Could you tell lil' bit .. uhm, Har-lo-queen I mean, that I
ain't run out on her like I promised I wouldn't?" he asks before he shakes himself off briskly.
Alsoomse eyes Allegro faintly. "Don't push your luck.. I might try and take the meat back from your gut." She offers with a snort and lowers her head down onto a forepaw, tail lashing some. "I might tell her.. Then Imight not."
"I'll tell her," Adamant offers, shaking again once his scratching is complete. "She's the one with the bandaged ears, yes?" Probably the only one of the pack that he likes, really. Except for that Shade girl.
Allegro snorts a little at the female but still offers a half-grin. "You'll tell her," he remarks, sounding rather sure of himself. That said, he leans down to reclaim the bone, but before he does he pauses to eye Adamant once he's spoken. Huh? "What?" A brow is quirked as he lifts his head up a few inches. "Knowin' what I know 'bout you, you'll be tellin' her the direct opposite. I jus' hope she got a good head on her shoulder an' know the difference 'tween a truth an' lie." A pause and he turns back a flopped ear. "Yeah. She th'one with the ears," he
confirms before snatching up his bone. "Later!" is said muffedly before he turns to trot off.
Alsoomse yawns and licks across her maw while her head settles down on the cool ground. "I'll tell her already.. Geezs.." Stupid males, good for nothing at all.. She closes her eyes an ponders just sleeping, sleep is always good.
Adamant smirks despite himself. It seems he's getting far too well-known around here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just makes it easier to find entertainment. He stretches leisurely, giving a great big yawn. He, too, is growing weary, and sleep sounds like a fine alternative to all this banter.

"Hey, both'a ya's is already hurt. And y'all start fightin', it's gonna wake up whoever's in charge here, an' you're gonna get your butt kicked by'em, man," he says, twisting his head a little as he watches Adamant.
"Jasper wouldn't stop me." He might help after all.. An she has a feeling Freyr would. Alsoomse says nothing as she moves to a mere foot in front of Adamant, off white colored fangs seen as she snarls. "Do you really want me to show you Adamant?" She questions with a thin tone, her form tensing while her hackles are bristled.
Hmm, there's a good question. If he was any kind of idiot, Adamant would answer in the affirmative. For in the eyes of Alsoomse, he sees something almost terrifying: a killer instinct. It's apparent she would have no problems killing him, and for all his critisizing wit, Adamant is no fighter. Alsoomse out-weighs him. He would be dead before his corpse hit the ground. The smile remains, however, as he slowly and quietly responds: "No. I can see you've got it in you."
Allegro only watches on. He's not about to get in the middle of this. He barely knows either of the two of them, and if they want to fight it out .. well, he's not going to kill himself trying to stop them. And so, he watches, head slightly lifted and ears pressed forward. But then things seem to dissipate, or so he'd hope as he hears Adamant's reply. He glances between the two of them before he lowers his head to go back to eating. If they fight, he /might/ be chased out of here by the others just because he's unknown .. and he'sn ot about ot leave this food behind!
Alsoomse narrowed gaze stays on Adamant, there's fire in her eyes, which show nothing but anger and hatred it seems. It doesn't take a lot to get her spurred into anger, so long in the pits and she's not even that old of a dog to been through all she went through. "Don't you ever question my ability to kill something Adamant.. Or I swear your be dead before the words leave your maw." She snaps out at the male, jaws coming a mere few inches from his as a thick growl escapes her chest in a rumble. With that said she turns and moves back to where she was
and settles back down, back to Adamant. Her ears flick behind her listioning to any movement or words that he might have to offer. Hackles stilled stiff, muscles tremble under her thick fur while her forepaws grip at the earth.
But Adamant offers no words, nor does he flinch at the clash of teeth. He remains sitting where he was, keeping a careful eye on the female as she retreats, and then he attacks another itch, this time on his chest, as though nothing ever happened. As if he didn't come inches away from getting his throat torn out. Nope, life's all hunky-dory for him!
Scarf! He nearly chokes doing it, but Allegro finishes up his meal, leaving just the bone, though that he doesn't seem very willing to part with just yet. He glances between the two quickly. As Alsoomse backs off, he exhales a breath before chuckling his throat. "Y'all two need to learn the words "good will"," he says with a snicker and a dismissive wave of his tail. "Thanks for dinner," he extends to Alsoomse, "an' the show..." he adds with a chuckle and glance to Adamant. "Btu I need to bounce. Could you tell lil' bit .. uhm, Har-lo-queen I mean, that I
ain't run out on her like I promised I wouldn't?" he asks before he shakes himself off briskly.
Alsoomse eyes Allegro faintly. "Don't push your luck.. I might try and take the meat back from your gut." She offers with a snort and lowers her head down onto a forepaw, tail lashing some. "I might tell her.. Then Imight not."
"I'll tell her," Adamant offers, shaking again once his scratching is complete. "She's the one with the bandaged ears, yes?" Probably the only one of the pack that he likes, really. Except for that Shade girl.
Allegro snorts a little at the female but still offers a half-grin. "You'll tell her," he remarks, sounding rather sure of himself. That said, he leans down to reclaim the bone, but before he does he pauses to eye Adamant once he's spoken. Huh? "What?" A brow is quirked as he lifts his head up a few inches. "Knowin' what I know 'bout you, you'll be tellin' her the direct opposite. I jus' hope she got a good head on her shoulder an' know the difference 'tween a truth an' lie." A pause and he turns back a flopped ear. "Yeah. She th'one with the ears," he
confirms before snatching up his bone. "Later!" is said muffedly before he turns to trot off.
Alsoomse yawns and licks across her maw while her head settles down on the cool ground. "I'll tell her already.. Geezs.." Stupid males, good for nothing at all.. She closes her eyes an ponders just sleeping, sleep is always good.
Adamant smirks despite himself. It seems he's getting far too well-known around here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just makes it easier to find entertainment. He stretches leisurely, giving a great big yawn. He, too, is growing weary, and sleep sounds like a fine alternative to all this banter.
