((This RP is open to anybody I have given a Celestial Wolf to ))
The pair of Celestial Wolves had shown up out of the blue one day, following the Pricolici about with a certain alertness that Shehk really hadn't been keen on. It had also been with some great difficulty that she'd shoved them away into her dorm to keep them from trying to follow her to class and for a while, it had really worked out.
Certainly Hati had been the more 'joyous' of greeters towards the Pricolici upon her returns back to the Undead Dorm, Skoll mostly impassive to the undead werewolf, but she'd found that more often the male of the pair wanted to go into the closet-subspace-of-minis land. One day, Hati had just followed and Shehk had thought nothing of it.
...
.....
Until they came back with the necklaces.
The Necklaces. Shehk had known immediately that there was a case of 'Get these things out of my room before they take over' and soon enough she'd found herself imploring just.. anybody she had contact with to come and get one of them from her. Before she turned her room into a pack-space.
Which is why she had her dorm-room wide open (fortunately she was on upper floors of the undead dorms where there was less decay) and there were two very curious looking wolves peeking out into the hall, their ears perked up alertly.
What was going on?

Malodore didn't have a long way to get from its own dorm room to this one - Luce was trotting alongside it, looking up at her master occasionally. The plague doctor had its eyepod (currently on Groanspring over the school's Why-Fie!) clutched in one hand and was checking it surreptitiously.
"Ah... Shekh, a pleasure," it said when it arrived at the door, shoving the eyepod back into its sleeve with one last worried glance. "Puppies, you said?"
Luce barked happily at Shekh, then sat down next to Malodore and wagged her tail.

Tsetsiliya had become a bit of a web addict as of late. Perhaps with the lack of new plants to bring in (she had hopes of finding something interesting while enrolled in Professor Cadmus' course), she'd been idling much more than she would have liked. Regardless, that led her to Shehk's Groanspring and the call for free puppies.
Well that was an offer she simply couldn't refuse!
Navigating the halls, she searched the doors for the name she was looking for. And luckily, the one she wanted was standing open, a little tree-shaped pine air freshener hanging from the knob. What brought a small smile to her face was the sight of the Celestial Hounds themselves peeking around the door. This must be it!
"H-Hello?" She knocked on the door frame. Apparently she had arrived just behind a very tall student with another puppy at his side. "M-My name is Tsetsiliya. I am coming in regards to your Groanspring?" She entered the room with a hopeful smile and red-tinted cheeks; meeting new people always made her so terribly nervous.

Alwine logged out of her groansprings account with a happy expression on her... neck... ah, her body language showed that she was happy. The haunt wheeled around in her chair and looked at the spectral pumpkin sitting on its pillow and the spoiled cat laying on her bed.
A puppy. Now that she thought about it, would it upset the balance of her room?
Well, she had already made the commitment. She wasn't going to back down now. Besides, maybe it would work out really well.
"Pumpkin, you stay here, okay?" Alwine nodded to the pumpkin while she picked up the large cat. He looked up at her with his one golden eye and let out a throaty meow that could translate to, "Why the hell did you just do that?"
"We're going to pick up a puppy. I'm terribly sorry, Archer."
The cat just grumbled, and he grumbled the entire way over to the Pricolici's dormitory.
From far away Alwine could see the wolves. She held Archer closer to her chest and nervously sucked in some air, which just swirled around the empty space of her neck. Perhaps bringing him was a bad idea...

Myr was slowly getting to know the different dorms, having various reasons to appear in them, all he had left at this point was the monster and ghost dorms and he was certain that he would change that at some point.
He didn't really know the girl very well, sure he had seen her around and all that, but hadn't ever had a conversation with her. Still, that hadn't stopped him from jumping on the post on Groanspring, when she had asked if anyone would like a puppy.
"Hey," he said, assuming that the room with the door wide open and two wolves peering out into the hall was the one that he needed to be at. "Is this where to pick up the puppies?"
He wasn't the only one who accepted the offer apparently, and he grinned at them. "Nice to see you all."

Luce had practically been assaulted with sniffs by both Skoll and Hati, the pair of canids (which weren't really huge, but they were at least wolf-sized) almost immediately going over to shove their large noses at the pup and start sniffing anxiously. Skoll didn't seem too sure about this little....white..puppy...thing. However, neither seemed like they were anxious to pick a fight with anything, so Shehk let them have at it.
She was sure Luce would enjoy the BIG DOGGEHS anyways.
"Puppies." She repeated somberly, looking at the two wolves and then sighing. "Very... portable puppies at that." she continued, walking over to pat Skoll's side, the solar-canid looking up at Shehk and flattening his ears back before he paced to the other side of the room to watch the visitors with a sort of anxiety about him.
Niether Hati nor Skoll had interest in the cat that Alwine had brought with her, though the Pricolici's own canid ears stood ever so much more alertly as she started at it before she forced herself to redirect. PRICOLICI WERE NOT TO CHASE KITTIES. BAD. Either way, she sighed, Hati looking up at Tsetsiliya with a curious look while Shehk (who had actually CLEANED HER ROOM FOR THE OCCASION, gasp) picked up one of the necklaces, all identical, on her desk and held it up.
"Puppies. Necklace now, puppy later. Sort of like..uhh... lantern now, puppy later." she made a face as she looked over to her bed, Ecaterina dozing peacefully on it. Somehow she imagined if Luce saw the Cwn Anwynn pup it may have made for some..great ..uh. It would have been funny. Yes.
"The only thing I can imagine I would say 'instruction' wise is that Hati and Skoll might like to see their kids every now and then." Then again, Shehk was a wolf; Wolf-rearing was probably a bit more instinctual to her. Might have been wise to ask questions on that front.

Luce stood up and exchanged sniffs with the wolves, her tail wagging cautiously throughout. Malodore kept one eye on her, though...
"Ah! Si, understood. Riley should be here shortly. She had, ah... an incident. With a gnome," Malodore said with a sigh; it then padded over to the desk and, with a nod at Shekh, picked up an amulet and chain. It inspected it with interest. It hadn't known Luce's lantern was going to become a pet, so it hadn't given it a great deal of study... this, on the other hand...
"I promise you, I will take excellent care of the little one. I hope it and Luce will be the best of friends!"
That said, it turned and seemed to see the others for the first time. Ah - it was that headless ghoul from Christmas Town? "Have we met? In the infirmary in Christmas Town, wasn't it?" Malodore said, looking at Alwine and tilting its head to one side.

Alwine had expected wiggling, squirming puppies on the floor all yapping and yipping and gumming on their litter-mates.
What she saw in front of her were necklaces.
"They're beautiful, ah..." Alwine looked down at the wolves. "You two must be very proud parents."
Archer didn't seem to mind the wolves, but his eye was focused directly on Shehk. His fur was a little wilder than usual, and the fur on his tail was so fluffed that it was sticking out of his bandages in all directions. The 'dog-person' was agitated. It was agitated because of him. Oh, you had better not be thinking of chasing him...
The cat made an unhappy grunt, which caused Alwine to hoist him up and scratch him behind one of his ears.
"Behave, Archer," she said. "You're going to have to help me take care of the puppy, okay?" She dug in one of her pockets and pulled out a pink rhinestone collar and leash. With a click she attached it around her cat's neck and sat him on the ground.
"They are very well-behaved... oh!!"
Alwine clasped her neck and shook her shoulders. "I'm so sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Alwine Van Brunt, and I would love to let the puppy visit his or her parents as much as possible."
She turned to Maladore and seemed to beam. "Oh! Doctor, it's good to see you again. You were so wonderful healing everyone, thank you. I'm happy to see that Luce is doing well, too."

There was a trail of red drops that pathed from the doorway of the undead dorms, up the staircases, dripping all the way to stop at it's source, who currently stood at Shehk's door looking much the worse off than usual.
Riley's tentacles were soaked red and still dripping, her skirt was ripped all along one side in a ragged, ugly scar of cloth, and she just looked.. weary. Her hand was permanently resting on her head, hiding the ugly bump that was welting just under one of her tentacles.
This was most definitely not what Shehk had thought would come into her door when she had propped it open hoping for new puppy owners. Riley knew this, and she most certainly did not step into the ghoul's dorms.
Can ah, someone get me a towel? I don't want to make a mess on your floor. Even looking like she'd just fought a war, Riley was polite.

He had half been expecting actual puppies, but it made sense that they were starting out as necklaces. That was how most pets started out in Halloween, as something completely different than what they started as.
The grown up wolves were pretty though, and he hoped that his pup would come out just as well. They were relatively well behaved as well, and while some of that was probably training, it boded well for all of their pups.
Myr nodded. "That sounds doable." He didn't know much about puppies though, and he added a question of own to the conversation. "Will they have any special diets that they need to be on once they're no longer necklaces?"

Padding along behind Riley came Aksaja - also red in a few places from the blood that had dripped onto his natural form whilst she was riding him back to campus. Most of it had gotten lost in the shifting back to his humanoid form, but still.
He looked rather annoyed with the world, and perhaps just a little shell-shocked, giving Riley quick little glances out of the corner of his eye. He'd known she was dangerous, yes but . . . damn. What he'd seen in that club . . . . .
The lightning dragon was so lost in thought that he nearly collided with the mindflayer when she stopped in the doorway - but managed to catch himself in time. What was going on in here anyway . . . ? He'd just followed her without really paying attention to where they were going.

Oh thank god for self control. Shehk didn't really 'think' the thought to Riley, but oh man if the Pricolici's expression didn't completely read of 'bloodbloodbloodbloodblood'. That was the thing with being vampiric. Even if you didn't have a bloodlust, blood still looked delicious do you.
Either way, she quickly reacted to the request (given nobody else really could as quickly. Her room and all), walking to her closet to fish for a clean towel that she didn't mind getting..messy. It looked like Riley had been having a fun afternoon. Shehk unfolded it as she walked back to her doorway to offer it to the mindflayer, however.
"I appreciate the concern with my floor, though I really wouldn't mind if you came in and sat down. I've..dragged messier things in here before." she admitted. Which was true. Squirrels...a rabbit once. She hadn't really found herself able to catch anything much bigger, though Skoll was capable enough as a hunter.
On the note of Skoll, the wolf watched Riley carefully, noting that his 'alpha' seemed to have no real concern with the mindflayer, but none the less uneasy. Hati was sniffing every new visitor that walked by.
"Ah..diet? Well... Wolves do best with raw meat. I mean..that's what I eat..and what Skoll and Hati eat. Other things tend to not be as nice to our insides."
How many times had she eaten something she shouldn't have and gotten sick for it?
"So if you have anything that is..small and catchable that you don't want eaten; Squirrel, Rabbit, Ferret, and so forth, might want to keep those out of reach and teach them that they're not food for them to eat."

"O-Of course!" Tsetsiliya replied to Shehk as she took one of the necklaces displayed. "I will be very much happy to bring them by. I would not be dreaming of keeping away!" She held it gently in her hands, her fingers not clasping over it nervously as they often did other objects. Even if it was an object now, she didn't want to treat it as such.. at least it made sense in her mind.
A puppy. She had always wanted a puppy, but her mother and father weren't too fond of them. But that was about to change! She was a ghoul here on her own, and.. well, they couldn't exactly turn it away now that she has one, right?
She glanced around at the others, and noticed a certain familiar headless ghoul. Her mouth opened to call out to her, but the ghoul was speaking with the plague doctor at the moment. At that moment, another tall student stood just outside the door, dripping with blood. She blinked in surprise. She had seen this student before, maybe spoken once or twice on Groanspring but she had neglected it for a few hours.. what had happened?
"A-Are you alright?" Tsetsiliya asked in honest surprise. If there was no towel about, she could always offer her sash again.. it was the only thing that ever came to mind when situations like this occurred (which seemed to be often in recent days). But Shehk was prepared, so her hand returned to help cradle the necklace. She mentally noted down the dietary notes as well. For good measure she repeated it several times under her breath - yes, meat made sense for dogs. She would have to procure some..

"You are quite welcome, signorina - it was my pleasure," Malodore began, only to be interrupted by - THANK CANDLEJACK - Riley's arrival.
And she looked horrible. The plague doctor immediately fled to her side, tucking its necklace-future-puppy into its sleeve. "What did those figli di putanne do to you?" it hissed under its breath, its back-blades rising. "And what did you do to them?"
It did, however, glance past Riley for a moment to catch Aksaja's gaze, giving the dragon a silent nod of thanks and relief.

Aksaja caught the plague doctor's look and flashed him a quick smile - shaking off the last of the memory of what Riley had done to the guy that took her phone. He'd just have to make (another) mental note not to ever piss her off. Ever. Never. Yes.
"So . . . what's goin' on here, anyway?" he asked, peering curiously into the room past Riley's shoulder.
