Welcome to Gaia! ::

so in a summary of things that happened, Lucifer brought the founding members to the actual tribe lands and all sorts of babies where granted to the tribe. Apollyon having Sitri, then Itov and Samhain having six wonderful babies.
Love seems to be in the air for some of the other foxes, and now its Rael and Emi's turn to bless the tribe with babies.

the tribe is trying to get closer and winters fallen upon them.....
and thus I reopen Eiru ^.^

Haven looked around at the tribe members she could see. It seemed that the tribe was just going to grow and grow since it was now so active. She remembered when she was very young the tribe seemed so much smaller but not anymore. She was certain though this was a good thing. Not having much of anything to do she was just sitting back and enjoying the noise while keeping to the doge of things. She thought she saw Ash rushing off somewhere but decided that if a shaman needed help with something they would come and ask, after all it wasn't like she was doing anything at the moment other than watching quietly.

Flicking her tail she closed her eyes and listened to the din of the tribe. It was nice to have so many others around perhaps she would seek out her siblings and see what they where up to. Poe seemed as good as place as any to start. Getting up and stretching she started off at a slow pace to find her sister. The only problem was that she had no idea where to start searching. “Poe?” Haven’s soft voice didn’t carry far but it was out in the wind now.

==========================================================================================================================

A soft crack echoed around Hex. He grinned and tested the sap. It was nice and sticky. He was preparing a small little prank for the tribe. Right now he had most all of the supplies he needed. Leaves wrapped around globs of sap and he had a few packets hidden around the tribe already but with this he would be over the top. He rubbed his paw all over in the dirt so it looked like he had been rolling around for no reason which he had been doing about twenty minutes ago. Once he was satisfied all the sap was covered he figured he could head for a bog and clean off without raising and suspicions from anyone who saw him. Gently picking up the sappy bark he spent the next ten minutes stalking the shadows staying out of sight setting up his little traps. Most of the tribe would be able to avoid them as long as they stayed in their normal area but should they venture out too far well… he wasn’t responsible for them then. The poor fox would end up stepping in sap and have leaves stuck to their fur which took hours and hours to clean all the way out.

==========================================================================================================================

Itov sighed and shrugged feeling old. All the kits he looked after where all grown up now and he had far too much time on his paws. He still felt so responsible for them so here he was checking up on them. He figured he should check up on Sor last just in case, well traps. That was something both his child and his mate had in common. Both excelled at making traps that took hours to get out of. Hex’s pranks were annoying but not really as time consuming as Sor’s were. His nose wrinkled just thinking about it, but his face went into a neutral position as he noticed a few of Rael’s kids up ahead. Inara was speaking with her sister and was clearly getting badgered into something or other judging by the grin on Kyi’s face. Well if it was Kyi then it couldn’t be too much of an issue.

==========================================================================================================================

Her pink eyes were half closed listening to Kiy ramble on and on about what she needed from Inara this time. Stretching out a wing she nodded absently when it was expected. Yes she would be willing to dance tonight when Kyi started to sing. Yes she would go around and ask others if they wanted to all gather and spend some time together tonight and dance. Kiy was all excited about trying to host a party and was getting ahead of herself far too much. “Kiy… You still haven’t asked anyone if doing all this is alright. You can’t just start singing in the middle of the tribe and hope everyone will catch on.” Well Kiy could she supposed since mamma Rael and Emi would come and join in just to support Kiy in whatever crack brained notion was running through her sisters head. Tilting her head she noticed Itov coming over. He could be conned into helping of that Inara was certain. “Hey why not ask Itov to help you out?” When Kiy turned her head Inara took her chance and shot off in a trot without looking back.

==========================================================================================================================

Blue eyes found red ones before Kiyoshi realized that Inara was just doing this to ditch her. “Hey!” She called after her sister but didn’t give chase. Huffing she shook her head and looked back to Itov. “Hey there Itie. How goes it?” She beamed at the fox who she gave a heart attack at least a dozen times when she was younger. He nodded and looked like he had a question to ask but she cut him off. “Hey Itov~ Just a quick question. I wanna hold a little dance tonight. Nothing formal and nothing to bother Apollyon about really. Well at least until it hits full swing, but could you help tap out beats with Nimat?” Kiy had ever intent of dragging her brother to help keep tune even if he didn’t want to. “Well I mean you don’t really have to do much other than hum and tap, so it’s not like its work or anything.” Kiy just kept talking knowing that sooner or later Itov would just give up and give in no matter if he wanted to or not. It was kind of sad how often this kind of technique worked. It took only moments for him to look flustered enough that when she paused he said yes immediately. Smiling she moved forward and gave him a nudge in the shoulder. “Thanks Itie I’ll be sure and nudge Samhain into at some point so you have time with your mate.” She grinned feeling victorious before heading out after Nimat.

(Emi, Rael, and Karistal will come in later... I felt this might be a long post....)

Huge time skip
Okay now that life has coughed up our resident Nasai she is ready to get this tribe moving again... especially since shop is coming back too!!!

Notes: eiru has grown a lot with now generations of the founding members living with in it and Lucifer is around when he can be. So apollyon’s been stepping up to the plate…with all the new members and mates joining Apollyon figures it’s time everyone had a feast to get to know each other again….

Tribe life was... interesting, to say the least. It had never been a path she thought she'd choose for herself -- especially not after the failure of her first loves. She had poured her out into planning her future back then, but none had room for tribe life. It had always just seemed unlike her, the image of a stagnant home and returning to the same den time and time again having been an unsettling thought for her. She had spent so long trying to find a home in someone that the idea of a location being the place she lived and died within... well, it had felt claustrophobic.

Now here she was, adorning her bracelet proudly and stretching her wings as she chattered about her recent activities with fellow tribe members. Her eyes kept flicking, scanning the nearby groups for her -- Karistal. Ash had seen her earlier during their duties, but now that Ash was off work she wanted nothing more than to find the normal and slide up against her side. Unfortunately, Karistal was somewhere else -- still working, maybe? Ash had occupied her time with speaking to other members, but now she was getting restless.

Luckily, a familiar voice snapped her attention. Apollyon? She hadn't had the chance to speak to him much, funny enough. His position within the tribe always left her head a whirlwind -- was he an Elder or just representing them? Lucifer hadn't been home in ages and Apollyon had stepped to the plate, but was it permanent? Her wings ruffled as she adjusted, making room for Apollyon.

"Oh, Apollyon! Hello!" Her tail swept dirt and debris away, flicking itself clean. "It's been awhile -- how are you fairing?"

Karistal closed most of her eyes. She had a raging migraine at this point. She had been looking into the vale as much as she could with her gift but things made as little sense as ever. Either way with the coming of the fall equinox she needed to plan on shrine cleanings and an offer to Eleos. When she saw the shamans or one of upper members she would pass along her recommendation to make a fair amount of blessings this year. She could feel a change in the air. It was neither good nor bad but the extra offerings would likely help sooth the spirits and keep the tribe safe. That was her concern since she had joined the tribe after all. Her mate and sister were both here, though her sister was hidden away as a guest rather then a tribe member. Her fathers who lived outside the tribe would be fine on their own. They always had been. One by one her eyes opened back up as she started to head back. She noticed her nieces well two of them were off bringing back rabbits to the tribe. She smiled. It was nice to see them. Heading back toward the tribe she saw Maris who always seemed to have a serious expression on his face. Really the boy wouldn’t ever find a mate if he kept scaring them all off like that. But his determination in the things he did was good she supposed. Perhaps she would ask her mate to give him advice later after all she was sensible in such things. Though perhaps Karistal was a tad biased about it.

Greetings seerer Karistal Suhar nodded to the many eyed shaman who always seemed to be home to a spider web which had made him think of her as some bygone relic when he was a kit though he would never admit that or his mother would have been horrified and scolded him senseless. He smiled thinking back to his days as a kit while the seerer nodded and kept moving past him. Now he was older with a child of his own. He did need to find a mate sooner or later he was strangely happy being single. After all with a tribe as wild as this one finding someone who could take it all would well… interesting.

Well apparently he had been successful enough in hiding his ire that he at least seemed approachable but Samhain said other than when around Lucifer he always looked the same. Now he just needed to figure out if Ash meant it as pleasantries or she really did want to know the answer. He opened his mouth to answer when multiple things happened. A rolling pumpkin went barreling by, luckily this time not on fire and his daughter laughing as she tried to… well he didn’t want to know. It ended its journey by splashing into the lake and sitri skirted to a stop in front of Ash.

“Oh hi Ms. Ash, I found Ms. Karistal if you want me to steal you away from dad to go see her, he’s totally the same as always.” Sitri said, also glad this time she wasn’t chasing down a flaming pumpkin. Sor had convinced her back when they where both kits, it would be a fabulous idea… until a few other really not important things had also caught on fire. Ms. Samhain could be really scary when she wanted to be, but the point was she was here on a mission to reunite two lovers parted by the vast evils of…. Okay pass on information where one foxes mate currently was.

Apollyon sighed, wondering still if it was even slightly true that genetics helped shape your personality because he still had no idea where sitri got hers from… he didn’t even remember the other parent. The bcr just appeared one day as if the modeities agreed with his bet. He just barely hid the twitch when he was called again… appy? He made another note to throttle Lucifer. He blamed him.
‘“Ah well I am here. Hello yourself” he replied turning to antique as she made her way over. He slightly frowned noticing the pain in her expression. He did care about his tribe.

Samhain
“It’s a wonderful prank, keep it on the backburner… try again in… November…” Samhain said almost appearing out of nowhere. Who knows how she was around long enough to notice what was going on. Probably was something to do with mom powers. She kissed itov on the cheek before practically disappearing again. Why Apollyon though it would be a good idea to throw an impromptu feast so close to October was beyond her. Ah well it fit with tribe life, still with Apollyon practically being elder, that bumped her to acting beta on top of her shaman duties. So she was running around like crazy. Still she somehow found time to sleep and remind itov and her family they were crazy loved. Welp time to see if any one was leaving the tribe for a journey, or getting relatives which meant she needed to coordinate the amount of food with the hunters and make charms so that their deity would allow safe passage through the forest and moors need to leave tribe lands.

Louis
Louis had been watching his grandmother run around like a crazy fox and wasn’t sure if he should offer to help or would that just distract her. She seemed to have a system down pat but well other foxes had to be busy too right so he should offer to help, but every time he started to say something he just ended up staying silent. It wasn’t until Samhain had to stop from well Sitri doing something with pumpkins that his grandmother actually stood still long enough. ‘Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Go find what ever in deities name sitri did with the pumpkins…. And figure out if I want to ask….if Sor is also involved…. I will suddenly not be found.” Was his reply. Suddenly he dreaded asking to help.

Tia came up with a rabbit in her mouth. Her sister had bounded off again somewhere and her other sister should be with their mothers. “Hey.” she was chipper and happy seeing the tribe folks. It seemed like this last season had lasted forever and it was nice to see a gathering of foxes in the tribe as it had been so long. She flipped the rabbit to her back so she could chat. “I see you have your mouth’s full. Need a paw?” She was always happy to help others out.

Carolizea was humming and headed back to the tribe still having trouble getting around the mists when she found two phims talking. Oh she knew them! They were related to her mate. Things had been so busy for so long it seemed like ages since she had seen him. She did a twist in the air just thinking about him made her want to sing and dance. Stopping in she saw the yellow phim hold the pink one crying. Ah that wasn’t good. “eh… Hello?” she wasn’t sure if she really wanted to interrupt but she had just landed right in front of them.
