 Okay. Yasashii is all set up in the new guild. So, I wanted to say some things.
Some foxes are missing their tattoos. Please get them their tribe tattoos as soon as possible. By Christmas, if a fox is missing their tattoo they'll be bumped down to "member" status
Now! There's six new members, children of Boniface and Embry, so they'll need some training here and there. Owners of these kids: You can totally mail me what position they want! Then get their tattoo, please~
Now, in the tribe itself! It's near Halloween, so currently everyone is preparing for it. On the front page you can see how one prepares for Halloween. Other than that, just relax and have fun! There's future plottings going on, but at the moment everyone is setting up for Tricks Day and having a good time. :3 Welcome back!
Extra information you may want to know: Kithara is newly single and Gwyneth has left the tribe. Kithara's been a bit off lately, but she's okay. Champagne has officially returned with her mate, Tenma, by her side. Welcome her with warm arms! Six new foxes are around, and they're the children of Embry and Boniface. And finally, Iah and Amy finally hooked up. Dear god was that a long time coming!
YOU ARE FREE TO POST! You don't need to wait for me! GO GO GO!

So much had happened. Too much, almost. It had been a long, long, long half a year, and foxes had come and gone like the wind. First, several foxes had vanished. Some had left, and come back, and she had struggled to accept this. Tenma leaving and returning with Champagne had left an off feeling in her stomach. It wasn't that she hated the woman, it was more the fact she was struggling between two feelings of protectiveness. One was the sisterly desire to protect her brother from the woman who had left him, and the other was the Elder side urging her that Champagne could leave anytime. That, now that Yasashii was official, Paige could deeply hurt the tribe if she just up and left, again.
Yet, it was that peculiar, blind, sweet little fox who convinced her to let Paige back in. Amy. The woman who had gone through too much and had too many stories to tell. The vixen had urged her to be the compassionate Elder she had always been, and while it took months Kithara relented. The tribe specialized in accepting anyone, and Kithara had to push aside her sisterly feelings. And so, Champagne had been permitted to come in.
And then her girlfriend left her and Yasashii. That hadn't been too bad. It had been a long time coming, but it was still... strange. She was so used to having another around that it was odd realizing she would wake up alone from now on. It wasn't bad, no, but it wasn't her norm.
And then, the babies, oh how they made the tribe burst with life. First came Embry's babies, and with it five new members. Four BCRs who were now adults, and their father joining. That had been a wonderful time. Kithara still remembered watching the Carer's at work, and how the little kits brought fresh smiles. And now, now... there was another batch, and this time six. Six beauties. Paige was giving birth soon, and now Tenma was running about frantically.
Winter was coming, and babies would be here soon. They had so much work to do, and so little time. It was obvious she fretted. Anyone could tell. But the woman knew her tribe could do it. She knew they'd survive, but so many new mouths to feed meant so much more work, and winter was harsh.
"Lets make sure we get enough food for the new babies." She called to her tribe as she leapt down from her cave and prowled out to find Champagne, locating the nursery den and the curled up vixen easily. Poking her head in, the vixen flicked her tail in greeting, head curiously cocking to the side.
"How soon do you think it'll be?"
 Champagne would have jumped if she wasn't busy being poked at by Amy. The vixen flicked her tail around her extended stomach, purple eyes almost dancing with joy at the question. How soon? She hoped now, right this very second! She wanted to see her babies! She wanted to nuzzle them and coo over them with Tenma and the tribe. Ah. The tribe. It was weird, honestly, to acknowledge the fact she belonged to Yasashii.
How long had it been since the day she ran away? How long had it been since she broke Tenma's heart the first time? She mentally cringed at that thought, almost forgetting where she was and the fact that she was home. Still, she barely could meet Kithara's eyes these days. Guilt washed over her whenever she did. She knew Kithara had her issues with her being here, but the woman was too kind to say anything other than a brief warning. Paige wanted nothing more than to mend the rift she had created between her and her old friend, but sometimes.... sometimes she wondered if she had messed up too bad.
But here Kithara was, grinning as she viewed Paige's belly. Right this second, Kithara was happy, and it was Paige who made her happy. The pregnant fox wagged her tail with excitement, paws folding and head raising to view the taller woman better.
"I don't know, but soon!" She chirped, head raising as Amy nodded her head and left. "Amy said soon, but I could tell that. I hope as soon as tonight... but, you never know!" Her tail wagged once more, paws extending and stretching her back before looking up at her Elder with a nervous but bright grin.
"I can feel a boat load." She added, head flicking as her mate entered the den. "Tenma~"
 Tenma couldn't help the almost skeptical look in his eyes when he spotted Kithara in the den. The two were grinning, and that was good in itself. The male padded in silently, curling around Champagne and resting his head on her shoulder. Finally, babies. His babies.
"What of you, Tenma? When do you estimate the babies will be here?" His sisters voice broke him from his peaceful musings, head raising and purple eyes locking on her red ones. His tail flicked once, glancing at his lifemate briefly before giving an answer.
"Soon." He mused bluntly. He was never a smooth talker, or one good with words. He also needed to tell his fathers about these babies... but that could wait. He wasn't going to leave until after the babies were born. He'd be there for his children.
And for his lifemate.
It had taken so long, but here he was, mated to the woman he had always loved the most. And now? She was birthing his children soon. They were finally together. Together in his tribe, where home was. His tail wagged briefly when his lifemate wiggled closer into him, pressing himself into her side protectively.
Kithara smirked quietly at her brother and her sister-in-law before taking a step back, leaving the two to their alone time.
 Amy was mildly jealous, yet she couldn't stop the flutter of joy. Babies. Just when they had finished with growing the last batch new ones were coming. Her job would be full, and she'd have soft little kits to cuddle into.
The blind woman had other things to attend to at the moment. She had been busy with Champagne for days, and hadn't heard much of Iah yet, and it'd be a lie if she said she didn't miss him. So, she was going to find him. Her tail brushed against the ground to help guide her as she sniffed out the scent of the male, finding it almost immediately and silently padding towards it, gentle voice clicking when she deemed herself close enough.
"Iah." She called quietly, settling onto her haunches and tilting her head despite the lack of sight. "Are you too busy for a little ol' me, or....?" She honestly hoped he wasn't. She did want his attention, and probably for her own selfish reasonings. If he was busy she could help, deities knew she had before. Still, the woman wanted some personal time with the fox, and while she wasn't about to demand it she did hoped the male took her silent offer of their united company.

 Sugar heard her elder’s comment about food and remembered what it had been like to feed her own children before they were big enough to help hunt themselves. She stretched out and stood up she was just a member with no set job but that didn’t mean life was all easy going. She would fill in the gaps that anyone had. She learned to hunt in a group and while she wasn’t the fastest or strongest she made a good diversion to spook game toward the real hunters. She might help gather perhaps Amy had herbs she needed for the kits that were on their way any old time now. She padded to the cave to see the Elder leaving. She bowed her head and was going to pester Amy when she saw the fox was busy with other things. Instead she came up to Champagne. “Dearie how are you feeling? Hungry at all?” Sugar figured if anyone needed a bit of food this girl did or would soon enough. “Are ya feeling alright sweetie?” Sugar hadn’t really known the tribe in the times of confusion when Champagne had come and gone and come back. To her this was just a fellow tribe member and Sugar treated her like anyone else.

 Iah rubbed the side of his head and doubled checked all of their inventory. He was happy that his tribe was doing better, and there seemed to be tons of new life. However he also knew that children where fragile and could get sick rather easy, which either got tons of other foxes sick or be life threatening for them.
He wanted to make sure that he was well prepared for anything to happen because he never wanted to see a sad smile on any one’s face again. He knew there were things that he couldn’t stop, and sometimes sad things needed to happen for people to grow but keeping medicine up to date and healing others and having the supplies when they were sick was something he could definitely do.
Iah brought himself out of his musings at the sound of his very dear and cherished person and smiled even though he knew she couldn’t see it, it was just almost infectious now days that it often ended up on his face without him really thinking about it. “I’m never busy to spend time with you Amy. I was just rechecking something I had already done yesterday” he replied getting up from the ground and cracking his joints a bit as he walked over to her.

 Babies! Poko loved the thought of impending babies! Someone else's babies, of course. She would actually be super concerned if they were her own babies. Not that Poko didn't want any. Eventually, though. She had, after all, never even been close to finding herself a life mate.
Poko stood near all of the action, but enough off to the side so as not to be in the way. Kithara had mentioned the need for the food, but it seemed Sugar had already went off to get some. She wanted to help as well, but as a Scout she had less knowledge of what sorts of herbs or other items might be helpful, especially considering her own lack of experience with children and the fact that this was only the second batch of kits the tribe has had.
So Poko waited and watched, half hoping Kithara would issue orders and half hoping she wouldn't. It was a fascinating subject, after all, the bringing of life into this world.

Kithara spotted Poko, her tail flicking gently as she flashed a smile towards the woman. She seemed eager to help, and Kithara knew Champagne would need all of the help they could get. Dipping her head low, the woman flashed a warm smile and nudged Poko gently.
"Poko. Do you think you can get more bedding? The kits will need plenty of warm bedding." Conscious of her height, which she had yet to grow accustomed to, the Elder lowered herself slightly, eyes nervously flicking between Poko and Champagne. Kits. Her brothers kits. What would she do when they arrived? What would they see her as? Their aunt? Their Elder? Both? What would Tenma view her as? Would Champagne let her play with her nieces and nephews after Kithara had clearly given the blonde such a hard time?
Worry began edging into her system as, with a quiet nod, the Elder stepped away from the den. She needed space to reassure the doubts welling within her. "I will do a patrol. I haven't seen my lands in awhile." With this, the Elder smiled and took her leave, padding into the lands.
Tenma watched his sister, ears flicked up and tail wagging gently. Curling around Champagne, he noticed the tension within his sisters shoulders, briefly considering rising and approaching the topic he knew Kithara wished to avoid. However, his mate nuzzled deeply into his shoulder, distracting the soon-to-be father. Later. He'd speak to the Elder later.
Champagne viewed Sugar with a bright smile, though hesitation flickered within her chest. Sometimes, still, she found herself feeling strange within the tribe. It had been awhile since she had been within these lands, and she had left on such bad terms.... and yet everyone seemed to welcome her. Still, how did they see her? A woman who vanished? A traitor? Someone who tore Tenma's heart out, or perhaps he tore hers out? They had reconciled, as the obvious litter of BCRs that were impending proved. But how had the others received this news? Slowly, she turned to Tenma, diving her head into his shoulder with a firm nuzzle for comfort before turning to Sugar.
"Honestly... I'm a little hungry. I'm okay! A bit sore from laying here so long, but alright. Thank you. She seemed energetic as she spoke to Sugar, pleased at the interaction between the two of them. Pleased to have someone to be pleasant with. While she was still confused about how the tribe saw her it was nice that everyone was so kind. It made her feel safe.
Amy felt a throb of her heart as Iah responded, her smile obvious as her tail wagged like a dogs. She could sense his smile, hearing it in his tone as he approached. Gently, she padded against the cold ground and tapped his cheek with her nose, a friendly sign of affection that Amy had begun to adopt and display towards the Elder and others. Recently, she had become aware of the fact that for a long time she had mentally checked out. Now, she was putting more effort to try and show the tribe that she was here, and she loved all of them. One she loved the most, but she held her tongue on that.
"The talk of the tribe seems to be about the new babies. How do you feel about them?" She whispered, tail wagging absently as the calm woman rubbed her cheek with her paw. She herself was jealous, but also joyous. Babies always warmed the tribe up and pleased her.

I was wondering if we should time-skip to current times? There's a lot more new members, and it'll be spring time. Or should we continue as we are?

 Boniface sat in the middle of the campground, sunning his bones after the long winter spent in the caves. He'd adapted to those quicker than he and Embry thought possible and now moved through them with ease. Perhaps better than anyone in the tribe but for Amy; being blind, neither cared about the darkness and both were highly experienced at observing their surroundings. But now the weather outside was warmer, the caves noticeably cooler, and the sunshine felt good. Even better, he had company. Embry curled up by Boni's feet, enjoying the sun and warm weather with her mate. There had been a lot of work for carer's in the tribe lately! First her own brood, then Champagne with an equally large brood. Now the only children in the tribe were Iah's; between herself, Amy, Nigori, and Iah, there were plenty of people to watch over the kits so she got lots of time to spend with her family. Parents Day was soon approaching, which meant she might even get some time with her youngest boy! "Where is Remus," she asked into the contented silence. "Last I saw him, he was going out with Nitya," Alphonse responded, seated like his father on the other side of his mother. He wasn't too worried. Remus often needed his time alone, given his temper, and Nitya was no nonsense enough not to let him wallow in anything negative. She might even be able to teach his twin a thing or two about keeping a leash on things. Gosh that woman had fire! Shame she had a boyfriend, or she claimed she did. Not that he would ever say that aloud. Man were his thoughts all over the place today... "He is! I wanted to go too, but him and Nitya said I probably wouldn't enjoy this adventure." On Boniface's other side, sprawled out that that her tail was half-wrapped around her dad and her head was draped over her mother's back, pouted Lucille. She and Remus went on adventures together all the time! It didn't seem fair that this time he got an adventure and she didn't. So she often almost fell off things or stepped on things that either broke or sank underneath you, but that was part of the fun! "Hunter biz, Lucy! You'd have been bored silly!" Chuhai sashayed up to the family gathering, customary grin on his face. He was always smiling in some fashion or another. A hint of playful slyness crossed his features. "Darn but if that boy ain't fiery and an absolute delight to tease. It's like he was made for it!" He fluttered his eyes flirtatiously and chuckled."What,he gets a compliment and I don't?" Alphonse fake pouted while Lucy started giggling at his expression. He flashed a quick wink at his sister while exchanging grins with Chuhai."Oh sugar you're just as easy on the eyes, but you know my games too well and have a habit of turning them back on me. With both of us trying to one up the other, it might start getting uncomfortable for spectators!"A soft chuckle came from Boniface. "Quite true. Was there something we could help you with, Chuhai?""Hmmm, not much. I was just keeping an eye out for my folks or siblings. I'm sure my aunts have stolen some of them away, just like Aunt Nitya got Remus." He sighed dramatically. "If he turns as stoic and sharp as her, I fear I'll find to find a new person to tease!" "You get into enough trouble on your own, I'm sure you'll manage." Nitya had the supreme pleasure of watching her nephew jump. She still had her silent step! She let out a gravelly chuckle and thumped Chuhai with her tail. "If you're feeling that lonely, let's go bond. I've got some lessons from your great uncle that I'm sure will come quite in handy!"Chuhai's eyes widened and he shook his head while laughing nervously. "Oh no, that won't be necessary! I'll just wait for group lessons. Those one-on-one sessions are a bit too intense! Bye!" He beat a hasty retreat, trying to cover the nervousness in his laugh and failing beautifully. Remus snorted and emerged from behind one of the trees in the campground. He wasn't as good at sneaking as Nitya, but she had tons more practice. It wasn't that he disliked Chuhai or anything, but being the entertainment of the group tended to be wearing at times. As Nitya turned and walked away from his laughing parents and siblings, he caught a wink leveled his direction. He flashed her a quick smile of thanks, then went to join his family.
