Full Moon Rising

With all the commontion going on, she felt rather disturbed. When the Tiger 'appeared' out of thin air, that cinched the deal for her. It was time to get more invovled.

It was one thing for wereolves to traffic with their own, it was another for an 'Other Skin' to be invovled in a Firsting. Her mentor would skin her now, if she didn't step in and do.., what?

Something.

She shook her head at the self-imposed authority. That would not go over well if she just tried to step in and take control of the situation. It woudl be veryimproper, and likely to get her and her Mnetor into deeper trouble with the local Alpha.

'Deng it,' she thought to herself, 'what to do..., crap.'

She sucked in a soft breath as she contemplated the events below. Yeah the Fates had given her a 'gift'..., stupid fates.Unles.., Unless this was her 'Test'...,

'GAH,' she squinted her eyes shut and she yelled mentally at the complexity of it all. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

She jumped dwon out of the tree, landing a bit awkwardly.

"I'll just go with the flow I guess..," she mutters under her breath.

Saesenenii Walked over to the other werewolf and sniffed at her scent, not recognising it.
"I came because of the smells- what are you here for?"

The she-wolf flinched as he grabbed ahold of one of her pant legs. Instead of struggling this time though, she listened to what he was saying. 'He..he must be a..a werewolf as well...or at least know a lot about them,' she thought, stunned. For a moment, she just looked behind her at the stranger, trying to figure things out. But her sharp ears suddenly picked up the noises of others; all around in the forest. And something slashed at her clothing and disaperred into the shadows. Frightened, she pulled herself out of the pants still being held onto by the man and shoke of her cut shirt. Even in a wolfen form with all her newly-grown fur, she felt a pang of emberrasment by being naked. Quickly she ran and hid behind a large tree, not sure what direction was safe. She looked around the dark forest nevously, tail tucked tightly between her legs. For a moment, she thought she saw some figures moving about. Scents constintly floooded her nose; ears picking up the tinyest of sounds. Her golden eyes stayed on the man now; she was still wary, but also drawn to him. Another suddenly came down from trees. She tensed, watching carefully.

ooc:On laptop now, but wont be able to get on for a while again most likely.

She turns to Saesenenii and raises an eyebrow. Returning her attention to the newly changed's reactionary responses she smiles lightly and shakes her head.

"I am Trista, Daughter of Dani, Acolyte of the Moon-lodge. I just happened to be here when she," Trista tilts her chin towards the wolfen formed new werewolf, " and him," she motions towards the young man attempting to keep her calm," happened by. I was enjoying the evening, waiting for moon rise."

She shrugs, turning to him with a more pleasent demenaor, "You are?"

"Long title with that name," Aki commented with a small smirk. "They call me Aki," he said. He glanced over at the newly changed wolf, she seemed to be handling the situation better now.

Saeseneii Followed Aki's glance. The newcomer happened to be calmer now. She nodded her head towards Trista and said, "If we go for titles, I have none, But I am a high-ranking Apprentice in a Weretiger Clan. I am Saesenenii Starlightning- If you end up knowing me for any length of time you'll see why. Saesenenii means see-her-not in my language."
She Stood up, shifting form enough to walk upright, padding over to the new 'wolf and saying softly to her, "Don't be afraid- there are many of us in the world."

The man bit back a growl of sorts, laying the pants down on the ground as he looked towards the others. Too many here for his taste. However, he supposed he would have to deal with it. He cast a glance back over at the wolf in amusement before looking at the others.

"Do you all converge on the site of a Change so quickly all the time?" he asked, arching a brow. "Especially when the one who Changes already fears themselves? The sight of so many shifters could very well make the person paranoid."

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:46 am

Tris smiles wanly, "The titles come with the Territory. Moon Lodge members are Mediators, Healers, Spiritulists and the like. Its not well known by that name..."

She thinks for a moment, "Perhaps '7th seat of the Blessed-Council'? The Skin-changers? I was born to my werewolf heirtage, but blessed by the moon as is my Mentor to be capable of wearing many guises."

She shrugs, "Some of them are illusionary of course.., but not all."

Turning to Saeseneii, watching the weretiger carefully, " Yes I have heard of the tiger-skin-walkers, but there hasn't been many in this area for some time. New or returning? I know there was once a powerful family that lived here years ago...,"

Curiosity in her voice belied her calm demenaor.

Giving a glance over at the young man she nods.

"I agree, and would suggest since he found her first, that he be allowed to offer her the first insights. It is his right after all. I would suggest we adjourn to the nearby clearing and 'get comfortable', maybe get to know each other better? Perhaps when the new-one is more comfortable in her new skin she and the young man here could also join us?"

Aki · Post by **Aki** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 1:43 am

Aki shrugged. "Whatever," he replied. "I picked up a bunch of scents and wanted to know what was going down," he shrugged. At Trista's suggestion he nodded. "Yeah, that works..."

Kzinistzerg · Post by **Kzinistzerg** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:11 am

"It is the same for me- and probably wiser for the new one." She began to move in the direction of the clearing, at the same time saying, "The family you speak of likely has a few left around here, but the main reason you wouldn't see us is that we are all part of a Clan, called the Shadow Clan- it teaches us stealth, primarily, but other things too. A few of us are known throughout the community, but mostly not, because our Tiger form and Human form are closely interlinked- to most people we look very odd."

Wolfhanyou · Post by **Wolfhanyou** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:15 pm

A sense of annoyance flickered across his features. Though thanks to the darkness and the rapidness of it, it could very well be blamed on the dim lighting. Young man? Why, what absurdness! He was twenty eight after all! He mentally shook his head than. Than again, he looked a lot younger than what he actually was...

He looked back over at the wolf and sat down-crossed legged. "Well, only us two now." he remarked. "Nervous still, I see. Would the knowladge of my name make you more comfortable? The name's Keanu."

Nightspirit · Post by **Nightspirit** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:25 pm

she walks through the woods.unafraid of anything seeming to go on, her armor stitched into her black trench clinging as she walks, her sword giving a glint in the moonlight "the full moon is callin, the fever is high. and the wicked wind whisperes at me. "

Nightspirit · Post by **Nightspirit** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:38 pm

she sighs heavily, finding a stump to sit and think on, looking around, rather suspiciously "...gotta feelin i aint the only one around here..."

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 3:56 am

She follows along with the others, giving a glance back at the two they left behind. Returning her gaze back to the two who walked with her she gives a soft smile.

"As I noted prior, I just happened to be in the area that the newly Changed decided to run. I was meditating, enjoying the pre-shift sensations as the dusk descended. Though it is surprising to see so many at a Firsting.., I have to wonder if its not some kind of omen."

Nodding to the weretiger, "It is good to meet one of your Clan then, I'm glad to see more of the 'Other-skins' returning to the area. Its been far too long, adn I know teh Council will be pleased. We need as much diversity, though soem fo the more hide-bound types may beg to differ."

"So," she says with a grin, setting herself down on a fallen log in the clearing, " where did you folks come from, what part of town do you stay in."

Nodding to Aki, " you look familar to me, but I can't quite place you."

Aki · Post by **Aki** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 7:27 am

Aki shrugged. "Maybe," he said. "Not many pure whites around. So you might know me from somewhere, but i don't think so, as i don't recall anything about you."

"I'ma bit of a drifter and lone wolf, no fancy clan titles and such for me. I've been staying at the local hotel in town thus far."

Kzinistzerg · Post by **Kzinistzerg** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:08 am

Saesenenii managed to effect a shrug too. "I stay with my clan, usually around here, but I also travel to other clans as well. I don't remember my hometown or my parents- I suppose that makes me one of the classic 'baby in a basket' things. But i was found somewhere and taken in by the clan and converted once i was old enough to withstand it." She paused, considering her slight lie. She did know her parents, but she wouldn't talk about it. Not with anyone.

*After watching and listening to all of this happening, and being completely embarassed, Raziel gets up and slowly walks in the opposite direction, ignoring the voices and smells. He changes into his wolfen form and climbs a nearby tree to reflect on the actions that have taken place tonight.*

"What is wrong with my head, am I losing it or something?" he said to himself. *He let out a loud, extended, and sorrowful howl* "AWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO"
He then jumps down and continues in the same direction he had taken earlier.

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 4:45 pm

The wolf looked cautiously at the group as they came togheter to talk in a clearing. She shifted her gaze back to the man who stayed nearby her. 'This is all nuts!' she thought, hearing the others. Werewolves, weretigers, clans...it was all so strange. 'Keanu?' she repeated in her mind, trying to remember it. With a small nervous whine, she padded out from behind the tree a few steps, closer to him but still keeping her distance. "P-please, can you help me?" she tried to say, instead growling. She winced inwardly, 'please let this all be a bad dream...' She gazed back up at him, tail still firmly tucked between her legs. 'I have a tail..' she thought numbly, feeling sick. For the first time, she looked herself over properly. Sleek, thick fur all over; a black streak running down from her head to her bottom. The black fur faded to gray on her sides, then gray to a silvery white on her underbelly and chest. Long legs with paws, black claws dug lightly in the soil. Slowly, she lifted her tail up, looking it over with an unbeleiving look, giving it a test wag. She could feel her ears flat against her head; a wet nose twitch at the end of her slender muzzle, and sharp fangs. She sat down on her haunches, feeling weak. The wolf looked back up at Keanu, a bit emberased by her behavor. Still self-concioses of her lack of clothing as well. 'What if I'll be like this forever?!' she thought suddenly. "Change me back!" she pleaded to the other, forgeting yet again she couldnt speak like a human anymore.

ooc: sorry for spelling mistakes

"Shh... Shush. Don't panic. Panicking only clouds the mind and makes the situation even worse than it seems..." Keanu soothed, reaching out with a hand to rub her head. To tell the truth, he'd never witnessed another's First, never actually interacted with another Shifter that feared the Change so much. The wolf's growls and whines registered with some unknown knowladge. Prompting him to speak again in what he hoped was an answer to some of her fears. "You'll change back, in due time. As you gain experiance you'll be able to Shift into another form. One that's a hybrid... and you'll be able to communicate using human words. Mind, it'll be difficult to talk with a wolf's set of teeth and tounge." His gaze wavered from the wolf's as another howl split the air and this time he let out an audible growl.

Nightspirit · Post by **Nightspirit** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 5:56 pm

*she gives a soft growl, hearing the soft whisperes of voices nearby, she sstands, sheathing her blade and walking over towards where they semt to have been coming from...then stopped, fiding herself in that position yet again...the shift was happening to her again, her form shifting to that of a werewolf with black face-fur, dark grey back and side fur and white under fur with a rather loud, carnivorus howl that split the night. it was either a challenge to others of an invitation, which one was hard to tell.

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:08 pm

She calmed a bit at his words, letting him pat her head. It felt kindof nice actually. 'A hybrid form?' she thought, trying to imagine what that would be like. She crept a little closer to him, wanting the comfort of another who understood what she was going through. 'I cant ever let my friends and family see me like this...' she thought, shuddering at the thought. 'How could anybody be around me as a monster?' She whimpered lightly. As the howl echoed through the forest, she tensed, looking to Keanu.

Nightspirit · Post by **Nightspirit** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:13 pm

she panted only slightly, falling to all fours as she looked around,scenting the wind a bit. she had been a were for a little over 10 ears now, and was pretty much used to it, and could shift between forms at will. she caught the other weres scents...and the one of the First Changer. she gave only a small growl, walking towards them, the look in her eyes untrusting and suspicious.

Wolfhanyou · Post by **Wolfhanyou** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:29 pm

A small smile flickered on his lips before a frown replaced it. He didn't look down at the wolf, instead past her at the forest. Amber eyes were narrowed in a slight suspicion as the scent of another werewolf drifted past them. More? Just how many were there in this town, this forest? Keanu muttered slightly to himself before shaking his head. Hopefully that werewolf would go and find the others. As he thought of this, the Change stirred in his mind once again. Reminding him of his need to shed his human form. He stood up, giving an apologetic glance at the wolf. "Excuse me."

Anubis · Post by **Anubis** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:32 pm

a teenage boy of 17 was watching this from a thick part of the forest. "i don't belive what i'm seeing a group of werewolves and a weretiger? i've heard of werewolves never a weretiger was standing up wind mabey thats why they haven't noticed me" i thought to my self. i had to get out of here there was a risk that they could notice me. no telling they what they would do to me.

i started to walk back carefully. then with a stroke of bad luck a twig snaped under my shoe. they looked over at my direction. "s***!!!" i yelled as i started to run for my life.

Nightspirit · Post by **Nightspirit** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:35 pm

she looked in the twig-snapping sounds direction, and snarled at the humanoid, giving chase, obviously a bit hungry tonight. she usualy carefully hunted her prey, but not tonight.
