<Esaki>The rather large Rottweiler mix surely was a sight to be seen. Big...taller than a fully grown German Shepard...and basically stark white in color save for a part or two of his face and neck. but the most striking thing about the male?...was his eyes. Albino-like in color, his iris seemed to shine in the low light. His black pupils were fully dilated as he stalked through a section of the territory he called home. Many scents would be washed away by the rain that had moved in...a deepish voice would mutter a curse...the storm was washing away all the marks he had just left. Pfshh. All that work. An audible scoff would sound just before he would pick up the pace toward the more populated section of Vernice. Large paws would squish and slide through the softened earth, spraying mud-spittle onto his white chest, belly, and legs. The mud didnt phase him, he simply moved forward until a particular scent reached his nose. His somewhat deep scratchy voice would ring out, calling to the source of the scent under a slab of concrete. "...nice weather were having...hmm?" A rather flat voice would end with a twinge of humor as he came to pause before the slab of human-made rock. Head lowered, eyes case down and slightly to the side, tail lowered.

<dragonmissy> The rain clung to the Capo mix's fur making her look much smaller as her fur wasn't poofing out.She would jump in random puddles as she liked the mudd and the rain taking her back to her much younger years where play was much more free. Her shorter tail would sway high and happily as she would throw a dead rat around and catch it lading in the puddles she tossed it again. SHe kept her self occupied on the regular. THough sensing there was other around she grabbed the rat and moved much more seriously through the territory making quick eats of the rat that she had dangled and soaked up. Her green eyes saw the larger dog ahead as her tail swayed in a calm manner. Her head high and she panted as her fur was soaked she shook a bit to get the access out "yes it is rather lovly" she spoke with a small chuckle

<Kach-22> Bo didn't wanna deal with being wet this morning, it was rather uncomfortable, and a chill stuck to his bones from the water seeping through his fur onto his skin, the wind blowing. He sat silently under an old awning near one of the old office buildings. With a heafty sigh he kept his tail tucked against his form, shivering lightly. He'd look across the way, and through the gloomy,early morning haze and rain he made out Mavro's form under the concrete. Moving now, and assuming the old dog would allow him to get close he'd slink through the puddles and land in a huff on the other side of the slab, tucking under it away from the raink. A yawn squeak was given as he looked over, "I wanted to say I was sorry to you, for how I acted the other night. I was scared, adrenalized, hurt and uncomfortable. I had no right to act the way I did.." Brow points knit as he heaved a shaky sigh, "I'm sorry. "

<VolatileVisage> Ever paling green eyes would scan the soaked landscape around him, his boney form spread out underneath that concrete slab, water dribbling down overhead as it rolled from the crumbled smokestack. A deep inhale has him seizing up in a small coughing fit, which luckily, was short lived. When the familiar hacking sound ceased, he was met with the voice of a familiar pack member... and green would meet pink. "...beautiful morning, yes." It didn't seem as though he was being sarcastic, either. The boss would shift some, lips peeling back to lap over his now blood splattered teeth, gaze catching Claudia from his peripherals. So much for his alone time... ah well. A small stretch was given and when Bo appeared, he'd deadpan, expecting the little asshat to.. well, be an asshat. "...ah-" But, the apology had him falling silent, listening. "...very well. Much appreciated. Assuming you mean it." Scoff.

<Esaki>A swivel of his large head would bring a tall capo mix with long fur into his view. His nose told him many things before her voice was heard. Female. Mid. Claudia. He knew of her name, scent, and rank but hadn't had much interaction with the dog. No matter. "Ahh yes. I've never had any qualms with rain." Just as he spoke his head would sway to the other side, eying a nearing blur in the hazy morning light. A rust-colored brow point would loft when his rose-ears caught the words of the slender canine who had come to apologize to Mavro. He'd remain quiet, watchful, but even then, he didnt seem too wary. Taking a slow step forward, toward the lilac colored male, his nose would sniff-sniff, attempting to gather the standard information. Gender and Rank were all he sought to know...for now. Though the familiar scent of singed fur and blood had given him the clues he needed. "Aahh....n' may i be so bold as to ask who this is...?" His eyes would search for the slender lilac males. His own eyes intense and slightly curious.

<dragonmissy> Claudia would inhale big into her chest as she liked the morning air. Scratching behind her head with her back paw she glanced and saw Mavro. She would lower her head and tail a bit and wag as the rain water would splatter everywhere as she would wag her tail happily. Moving forward much faster then her mid ranked compatriot . Though wondering what Bo was doing. He hasn't been the model citizen as they found him tresspassing and forced into the pack. He still put up a fit.She turned to Al "This is Bo. Hes new" she spoke hoping there would be less growling and flailing this time around. She would move closer.

<Kach-22> Raising his head the Lilac boy would look up to the other dogs, brows knit before he looked away quickly, back to Mavro, "I also, uhm. i wanted to let you know ff you wanted to spar. I'm more then willing to do so. Its pretty damn obvious I'll get whooped but, it will be a good learning opportunity.. Or..something.." He stammered lightly, keeping his eyes on the floor in front of himself. He felt like a asshole for the way he'd acted, "I'm really sorry.." Tail tuck.

<VolatileVisage> Mavro would adjust into a sitting position, boney haunches rested against the dirt and concrete rubble below. Tired eyes would slowly scan between the three as they spoke amongst themselves, a torn ear giving a flick at Bo's offer. "Perhaps. Still need to show you why your father respected me the way he did." Huff.

<Esaki>A tilt of his head would be given when the slender mixed breed ignored his question. When the female answered for the newcomer, Avallock's ear would twitch in Claudia's direction. but his eyes remained on 'Bo's'...."So...your name is Bo. Alright Mr. Bo-Bo...perhaps you'd be interested in knowing my name...should you wish to make allies here that is..." He would lower his haunches into a sit, his left foot hovering above the soggy ground a moment...before being carefully lowered to the ground. "...Avallock." He'd state his name casually. Though his brow points remained raised.

<Kach-22> "I thought it was because you were so devilishly charming and a good friend. Thats what he said. That and he like, helped raise you." He pushed up a bit onto all fours and stepped to the side to get out from under the slab. "I'm ready." He'd pause though and look to back at the others, "Uhm, Miss Claudia already said my name and I was busy with conversation, so ... " He didn't want to be rude and talk to someone else while he was addressing the boss. That would just be stupid, and disrespectful. "Nice to meet you." Then, his attention drifted back to Mavro.

<VolatileVisage> Exhaling a ragged breath, Mavro would finally stand and move out from under the concrete slab and into the rain. His form quickly became soaked, showing off just how thin he actually was under his thinning fur. "One moment.." Claudia and Avallock were addressed as he squared his stance in front of Bo. "Make your move."

<Pepskii> Twitch, twitch. A twitchy, rather scrawny shape stood on the edge of Vernice border, drenched in the rain and looking quite nervous. As he should have been. This was bananas. This was nutters. Why was he here? One of Ravic's ears turned slightly with apprehension. Well...he had nowhere else to go. He swallowed hard with the sounds of voices in the distance, ones that weren't in his head muttering prophecies of his own destruction and suicide. His heart thundered in his chest, and his lower eyelid twitched again in its usual tick. Ravic usually didn't believe in a god, but he hoped now that there was someone smiling down on him at this point. He was going against everything his instincts were telling him. This wasn't a part of his usual personality. His pale gold eyes roamed the territory. "....Oh yeah....this might not have been such a good idea..."

<Esaki>A small hint of a smirk would show on the mixed breeds lips before it would fade into a calmed expression. Default. "You have a point...apologies then Mr. Bo." He might have been a higher rank but he admitted when he was wrong. Even to an omega. When Mavro stood, So too would Avallock. His head was lowered, level with his top-line, his ears held submissively back...his tail lowered but slowly waging. His eyes would move to watch as the lilac rather light weight male stood to prepare for a spar with the boss dog. A soft exhale pushed through the males nose as he jerked his head toward the omega, gesturing to Claudia to watch the fight. "This...should be pretty interesting." He'd speak aloud for Claudia to hear...though the statement was more or less spoken to himself. His head would lift slightly as a strange feeling pricked at his hackles. He didnt see anything. But a strange scent seemed to find its way through the rain and to his nose...hmm. For now he'd continue to sit. Calm and watching the spar.

<dragonmissy> Claudia would shake her fur out as it was getting very heavy in the rain. She would move back towards AVallock then the two. Letting them have space to move around. She did want to see this though. "Yeah your telling me" she spoke out she sat her butt down and stared at the two. She glanced at Avallock as she spoke softly but kept still in the rain.

<Kach-22> He smiled faintly to Avallock but Bo nodded when Mavro squared off against him. He bit into his bottom lip and looked the old dog over. Though Mavro was much larger, his tail began to tuck before he sighed, heavily. Well this was a real good idea. He was a two year old pet! Uhg.. this was going to hurt. He lunged forward as fast as he really could and aimed to slam his shoulder into Mavro's chest and neck, turning to try and clamp down onto his ear, rrring.. Yeah he'd only ever played. He didn't know what he was doing!

<VolatileVisage> Mavro listened to the two behind him which only brought a smirk to the boss's maw, exposing those yellow teeth as he watched Bo get ready. His eyes would narrow some, brows furrowing and as the lilac dog lunged forward, he'd make a quick sidestep to the left, aiming to cause the dog to fly forward in a tumble with the momentum he would have used with the body slam. If that went according to plan, Mavro would kick off the ground and jump for the smaller dog's form, aiming to pin him there with his paw, over his throat. "Do better."

<Pepskii> Ravic could still hear the sounds of other dogs. He knew they were there, but they didn't seem to know he was. ....Or maybe they were planning for an attack. There was still time, wasn't there, to go back? Run away? He was great at running, most excellent, in fact. But...there was that nagging suspicion that he wouldn't make it on his own out here, just wandering aimlessly. While the idea of starving to death and having his corpse dragged away by a predator was just tempting - He froze as his ears picked up the sound of dogs sparring. Oh, god, a dog was being murdered. Something told him there were enough dogs to finish him off, too.

<Esaki>A subtle crinkle in the rottie-mix's muzzle would hint at the fast coming and steadily increasing smirk that now lifted his maw. A soft yet low chuckle would ring out past his canines as he enjoyed watching the obviously 'green' dog spar with the boss. Being a street dog has its perks. Even at 11 months, still growing, still a youngin'; by most standards, he knew how to duck, dodge, weave, bite, scratch, kick, snap, lunge. He wasnt working on instinct when he fought like Mr. Bo was doing now. He fought with experience. Just as mavro was now. Though he of course knew that mavro and many others were far more experienced in that respect...but still. He was sorta proud to know what to do in a fight...as barbaric as that seemed. When the scuffle was in full swing, the thoughts that fluttered in his mind would dissipate. His eyes and mind having favored watching the spar which...ended with a pin. The boss's comment would elicit a chuckle-snort before more silence. Licking his maw a single ear would slide back, listening to there surroundings...a steady inhale would bring a flood of scents to his nose. Stale blood...wet coats...the scent of males...females...damn earth...and then--he would slowly lift himself into a stand. His head swiveling away from the spar for a minute to scan the area. Maaan did he have a feeling...

<dragonmissy> Claudia would watch intently as Bo went at Mavro. She liked to watch the sparing to learn and absorb like a sponge. She would give a soft but silent chuckle as she would see him missing and be pinned. She though wouldnt brag on her abilities as she spared before and got into fights but she wasn't sure what this dog could do against the boss. Her tail wagging then staying still as she looked at Avallock."is something wrong" she asked very low and in a whisper leaning towards him her ears went up and started to listen better and look around as well. Her nose went up as she was trying to decipher the smell through the air.

<Kach-22> Bo heaved and huffed as he hit the floor, a smile forming on his lips as the boss told him to do better. His tail was even given a slight wag as he stared up at the massive canine, "Okay." He spoke, leaning up with his long, capo neck to bite at MAvro's sore joints on the leg that was holding him down, right over the bend as best he could, head shaking back and forth if he had managed the bite. His legs rose, back, and started to kick and scratch at Mavro's unprotected unders, his chest and belly.

<VolatileVisage> Mavro didn't move, even as Bo started gnawing on his arm and rabbit kicking his underside. He'd simply scoff, eyes narrowed down on the canine before he'd lunge with his own open maw to latch over the top of the Capo mixes head, between the ears. The bite was hard enough to pinch the skin together, but not break skin unless Bo struggled too hard. His arm would suddenly be ripped back from the smaller male's mouth and he'd rear up, almost like a bear to hoist and toss Bo by his head, toward a deep puddle near Claudia and Avallock. Pausing, however, his ears would snap and swivel forward alertly... eyes focused off where the scent of Ravic lingered and he'd nudge his muzzle that direction, addressing the other two. "Go check it out."

<Pepskii> Ravic heard the sparring stop, at least for the moment. He shivered in the cold air and nervously lapped at his lips. The rain was weighing down his ears and plastering his fur to his skin. If he didn't die, warmth would be a great idea. He didn't have that much fat on him, or a decently thick coat. He slowly sat and huddled with his head down and the rain pitter-pattering down his back, but the dog refused to close his eyes for even a moment. He was still sniffing the moist air, listening for every sound, looking at every suspicious shadow, and listening to every sound. His paws worked the ground under them, scooping out grass and pebbles.

<Esaki>Without missing a beat, or flinching from the water that had shot up from the near-by puddle...he'd be on his feet. Nudging Claudia with his shoulder blade in a silent 'lets go' as he moved into a steady trot. His calm expression remained but his eyes were much more intense...his ears swiveling and held forward in alter curiosity. His hackles lifted along a ridge of his back in a neat line as he made his way slooowly through some bushes and trees. He'd switch his eyes to look on Claudia and just his maw to the side, the gesture clearly meant 'you take the right, i take the left' and he would veer off to the left, to circle around whatever dog dared to enter Vernice so suddenly. He would near the edge of a group of trees, pushing through some brush there so he could see the...small greyhound...before it could see him. "...Who are you and why are you here...your stepping on Vernice turf..." The voice was lower than average. A clear note of warning there. He would remain hidden for a spell longer...before he would push through the trees showing himself to the other dog. Head held high. Ears and tail up and forward. Eyes stern and intense. "Speak or suffer dog..." He'd smirk and offer more words. "Claudia my dear...what say we bring this whelp to Mavro hmm?" He'd take a few lengthy quick strides forward attempting to either startle or capture the greyhound....though the greyhounds speed was more than likely too much for him. Too much for him but not claudia...

<Kach-22> And into a puddle he went, and god damn he did it as gracefully as he could. Lading in the puddle with all four paws splayed out to the sides with wide eyes, one ear back one ear down, deadpanned. He grunted, stood and shook before throwing himself, literally, hurling his body at Mavro's rump to bite the base of his tail, head shake! His paws would attempt during this to wrap around those slender hips as he dug his canines in, or tried. Muttering through the grip, "Its not fair, shrink. You're just so big." That wasn't the only thing big about Mavro, was it. 8D

<VolatileVisage> Mavro was focused off in the direction of the trespasser, watching his Gamma's head off in that direction. An ear was flicked gently as Bo stirred behind him... and just as the Capo mix lunged to bite his rump, the boss would lift and rear his leg back to mule kick Bo square in the face, attention still focused on the issue across the compound.

<dragonmissy> Claudia's green eyes watched this whole thing her face going forward but not close just to try and see better. She inched a little forward a bit seeing him bite the dog in the head making a oo face and blinking wondering if the dog would be hurt then Bo landing in the puddle near them and splashed her she smiled as she didnt mind a bit of a mess with the mud. SHe would like to play but seeing his head move to a direction she raised her hackles and moved towards the direction using her nose as ithe scent of the dog got closwer. Her tail raised with her ears. She wondered who wandered into the territory. She licked her nose from the access water and her green eyes were tense. Looking at Avallock and nodding as she was going to go right but he did so she wondered to the left. Keeping on to the path she would smell the dog get stronger. Her furr on the back of her neck straiight up and her tail bounced as it raised. She would see the greyhound "yes lets bring him in to my Uncle.He likes to see the fresh meat" she smiled honestly playing around a little. Maybe this dog will rethink his decision.

<Kach-22> Yelp! Bo squealed and back peddled, falling onto the pavement to press his muzzle into his paws. Ow.. Ow. Ow. So he just sat there for now. Ow.

<Pepskii> Ravic flinched as the dogs approached, although he had stiffened and stood at just hearing their voices. He just barely managed to hold in the contents of his bladder. "I...w-wish to join...?" Yes, it came off as more of a question, as he was questioning himself at this point. Did he really ? Ears back, he hunkered down, only to jerk his head in the direction of Bo's squeals. "Huuuuu -" His breath came out in a wheeze, and he choked on the sharp intake of air that followed as Avillock started coming towards him at a rather alarming pace. Ravic practically shrunk, despite being a decent-sized Greyhound, and grinned nervously while wagging his tucked tail...pretty much showing all signs that he didn't want to die.

<Esaki>Avallock would wag his stub-tail and purr in a seep voice, "...Goood. Your a smart boy then. Mavro will welcome you..." He would move forward and give a sharp nudge to the new males side, moving him forward. "Walk straight until you meet the boss." His head would jerk toward Claudia then jerk toward the new male. He was telling her to keep an eye on the greyhound...watch him for signs of bolting. Narrowed eyes would trail close behind the greyhounds rear as he walked behind the dog. "Just keep moving forward and no harm will come..." In his head the sentence would finish...'no harm will come...just yet.' A slight smirk played on the dogs maw but it was soon masked as he prodded the other male with his nose, convincing him to keep moving forward.

<dragonmissy> Claudia looked at this dog that sulked low. She breathed out as she was hoping for something with more back bone. Though not wanting to fight but would like to know that they would have dogs that could stand there ground. She shook her head as she tried not to think ill of this dog and thne would nodd to Avallock "I know" she spoke out as she was going to do it anyway.. She gave a yawn but would follow the scared dog. She kept with the grey hound as they headed back

<Kach-22> Bo just nursed his face. Cause can.

<VolatileVisage> Mavro glanced back behind him at Bo, now laying on the ground nursing a possible broken nose. "...do better." His ears would rest back and he'd sit, waiting for the two to bring him the trespasser. "...."

<Pepskii> Tail still firmly placed between his legs, Ravic stumbled forward a little, but did as he was told. He slunk forward with his head down and eyes staring straight ahead without really seeing. Ohgodohgodohgodohgod. The boss? So, neither of them were the boss? It couldn't be that bad, right? How bad and scary and terrible was this boss, anyway? Mavro, was it? His face twitched into a hopeful little smile, but it faded rather quickly seeing the massive canine in the distance. ...Oh. His heart plummeted, along with his hopes and dreams. He made a soft little whimper as his mouth went dry. Out of what he hoped was respect, he looked somewhere other than Mavro's face, along his shoulder, more than likely.

<VolatileVisage> Mavro exhaled as Claudia and Avallock drew near with Ravic, brow points arching some. "....sit." Green eyes bore down on the greyhound, but a moment later shifted toward the two higher ranking members. "...both of you. Go and replace the collars in the death pit for the next round of initiations. Once you're finished, you can take a rest from your duties." Licking over his muzzle, he'd nod. "Dismissed." And then.. turn his narrow-eyed stare back to Ravic.

<Kach-22> Bo sighed, heavily as he finally stood up, little droplets of pretty red blood dripping from his nose. He pushed to a stand and then wandered over to Mavro, sinking onto his rump a few feet to his right and back a little. Head cocked to the side as he stared at Ravic, then back to Mavro, then back to Ravic, you know the drill.

<Esaki>Avallock's head would lower when he came into view...respect. Loyalty. A slow wag was given when he was told to go with Claudia to replace the collars. A nasty task surely but...he was happy to help. Happy to just...do something. "Of course." He'd dip his head low and turn to trot alongside Claudia as they went to go replace the collars...He'd snort and speak to Claudia loud enough for everyone to hear, "Care to take a dip with me in the pool of death Miss Claudia?" He'd lift his lips in a smirk as he continued on...allll the way to the pit of death...

<dragonmissy> Claudia would make sure Ravic got to Mavro and not flake out as he got this far. As she got closer to Mavro her tail got lower and her head down with respect. Though they were family she would show even more to him as not wanting to disappoint him and cast her out. Her tail wagged softly as she would listen to him speak of the task he had for them and nodd at him softly "will do un- sir" she spoke out with a bow of her head and she would hear the word dismiss. Moving backwards then moving off to collect collars to put into the pit with the dead dogs.She looked at Avallock "Yes lets go take a dip together in the pool of death Avallock sir" she would give a soft smile and a chuckle.

<VolatileVisage> Mavro nodded as the two went off... and his attention was soley on Ravic. "Hn...why are you here?" Standing now, he'd tower over the smaller dog and sigh. "I have something I need to address. Bo, your first task... make sure this quivering ball of fleas stays here." After allowing Ravic to answer him.. he'd turn and lumber away because his player has to get going. :(

<Pepskii> Ravic flinched at any movement the Boss Dog made. "....I wish to join the pack," he said, trying to be brave and raise his voice from a mumble. He hunched a bit and looked at Bo, then back at Mavro as the older dog announced his own quick departure. St-stay here? Ravic scrunched an eye to keep it from twitching, but didn't move, as much as he would have liked to. He knew his anxiety levels were through the roof now.

<Kach-22> Bo would lead the dog around the turf for a while, pointing out what Mavro meant by stays here. Not in...that spot exactly. But once he'd shown him around, he would just follow the dog around quietly wherever he went and make sure he didn't leave the Vernice grounds.
