Welcome! After I have posted Libitana the tribe is OPEN! Want to join? Throw a form at me then post your fox here! They can have been here already or just wandering into the tribe to join Libitana's tribe. It's up to you!
Currently, it is spring. The tribe is about four months old, and the village is still being converted a little for fox use.

Libitana was going to give Tidus a good whack when he came back.
The new member has decided that today would be the day he'd attempt to clean the village up, and by doing so only wrecked it further. Her nails tapped against the wooden, man-made bridge as she glowered at the leaves that littered across her tribe lands, the lanterns askew and doors left open. Not only had he clumsily ran about wrecking her tribe, he had also decided to run off and avoid any punishment, which would be making him clean up his mess.
"How does one fox cause such a mess?" The Elder-to-be grumbled to herself as her tail swept away leaves and flicked up to fix a lantern. Her wings fluttered in irritation as she nudged close a few doors. Well, she had been going to wander off and explore the swamps, but now she had this mess to fix up and track down that fool. What had he done yesterday? Sabotaged a roof by falling through it. Sure, it had been good to discover a part of the roof was weak and needed some sort of mending (which she couldn't figure out how to do it), but she rather she had found out by a leak. Not some fool falling from a tree and smashing into it.
Though, he did mean well. It didn't stop the fact she was growing more and more tired of his "help". He was growing bored. They had yet to acquire more than one patient, and they only came by once every three weeks. Tidus didn't have much to do yet. Not many foxes were around to talk to or bother, and it wasn't like Libitana was around much, either. She was far too busy making sure no one was lost in the fog and checking for any possible new members these days.
Flicking back moss-green hair, the woman grumbled lowly as she finally closed the last door, padding off to gather some breakfast before she would start her day.
Fer’n padded around quietly. She had just met this tribe the night before. It wasn’t like Nemat’s tribe at all. She had gone out traveling from Ner’f so that she would have some new stories to tell him and might have gotten just a small bit lost. Again. The mist had been so thick she didn’t think she would ever find her way out until she saw a little floating light in the darkness that lead her here. She was peeking around a corner watching the green fox she met before. In the lanterns light the wings almost seemed ethereal. It was like something out of a story, but Fer’n was trying to figure out if Miss mist farie was a hero or a villain. She had lead her here which was a safe place so she might be a hero, but… well there was no but anything. Fer’n came out from around the corner still quite and unobtrusive watching so that she could make a story out of all of this.
Definitly one about appearances not being all that they seemed. When she first came out of the fog the other fox was scary. Now she just looked like an annoyed mother cleaning everything the kits messed with. “Can I help at all?” Since everyone had been so nice to her it was only fair she help out just a bit with things that she could do.

Puck was a bit lost. He'd been traveling around dusk and just looking for a place to rest for the night when he'd spotted some fireflies in a somewhat overgrown area off in the distance. Intrigued, since it was not a sight he'd seen often before, he'd headed that way to get a better look at the little luminescent insects. As he approached he saw them darting about the plant life merrily. Ah, how fun they looked! He started bounding after them, playfully trying to catch the bugs, though they kept evading his paws. He hadn't noticed when his cavorting carried him deeper into the swamp, or when the fog closed in around him. Only when the fireflies appeared wreathed in little halos of light did he stop and take notice of his surroundings.
Hmm, this was strange. He wasn't afraid, really, though the drooping swamp plants in the dim evening light, made even dimmer by the thick fog, looked a bit eerie. But the fireflies were little spots of light and cheer, and they leant a sort of ethereal quality to the place.
But what to do now? As he looked around, he could find no sign of where he'd come from, or where to go now. He couldn't see very far in the fog, either. Well, the fireflies were the closest thing he had to an indication of where to go. At least if he stuck by them he'd have some light, and they were the easiest thing to see in this fog. So he started following them. They zipped around so much it was hard to follow any one of them, so he just tried to head for wherever they seemed thickest.
After a while of wandering, he had no way to tell how long, he realized there was an area of fog that seemed brighter, ahead of him and off to the side a bit. Was that the light of dawn? Had he been traveling that long, and gotten near the end of the fog bank? Leaving the fireflies, he hurried toward the brighter region. But as he got closer he found it wasn't the edge of the fog at all, but a collection of buildings in the swamp, all hung with lanterns. A village of some sort. How unusual.
He wandered towards the village, but stopped near its edge to examine it a bit more. Was it inhabited? But of course it had to be, to have so many lit lanterns around. But who lived there?
The white face, green and black patched male slipped through the swampy fog covered lands. This was the second tribe Tanis had been in. The first was with his father,Doku, brother, Demon, God Father,Sin, and uncle, Ixen. They had been a family like none other. While the other males were more aggressive then Tanis himself they loved him in their own way and he loved them back. He was the most mellow in their family that strived and survived in the darkness with the shadow thing watching over them. Tanis never learned its real name for his time there was a bcr and kit. Being a kit you payed attention to what the adults said in that tribe but as a kit you also didn't. He had forgotten what one of the members had told him the shadow thing was called so he just continued to call it the shadow.
He had come to see the pain and brokenness that was his tribe and family. He realized that them all being together even broken fixed each other because they were a whole, a group, a family. It was an awe striking thought and when the tribe fell a part he swore to himself that he would take this knowledge that he gained as a kit and use it. He wanted to help others as his family had unknowingly started helping themselves.
He had found a place where he could do that. And what he couldn't do to help others well there was other members that were there that could do things that he himself lacked. This gave Tanis hope and excitement. He was finally making good on the silent promise he had made to himself that day as a kit long ago.
He had been exploring the southern part of the tribe lands and didn't find anything out of place or a lost fox. So he decided to head back to the heart of the tribe lands and see how things were at home. Little did he know of the mess that lay there and the new faces he would end up meeting.

Glowing eyes peered easily through a fog that had descended upon the Elder very suddenly. Any other fox would have found such conditions impossible to navigate, and even Pierre couldn't see too far ahead of him. Thus, he thought he was safe in assuming he was alone in this swampy, foggy land.
This was good. He needed this. Time away from everyone would help to clear his mind, calm his feelings. Perhaps, one of these, days, he would begin to miss the society of other foxes and seek them out again. But for right now, he was tired of feeling sad about his recent loss. Seclusion would help. Foxes say it always helps.
Deep down, Pierre doubted all of these thoughts. He wouldn't last long without company; his life had revolved around his relationship with others for far too long. He had, until very recently, been an Elder, for 'Deity's sake. To lose everyone, friends, mate, tribe, all at once. No one can just recover from that. Certainly not alone.
Pierre sat down, his head heavy with thoughts. It was a normal enough occurrence. His bright green eyes stared, out of focus, straight ahead. He could see other lights through the gloom. They were faint, wavering. Pierre thought they could be fireflies. It didn't really register in his mind that the lights weren't moving as normal fireflies would. They were also all different colors.

Hey! So. The tribe is official now, should we time-skip? Or RP a little more? Also, feel free to quote each other! There's an activity contest, lets win it!!
Libitana flicked an ear when she heard the 'phim, smiling faintly at the 'phim when she approached. Her tail flicked lazily once, eyes examining the woman. She hadn't gotten a good look back when the other had been lost, but she didn't seemed injured. Sighing gently at the mess once more, she mentally scolded the male in her head. He'd have to be punished another way. There were guests and she didn't want her land dirty any longer.
"That'd be kind, yes. There are a few roofs that have been damaged and I cannot fly... so it'd be nice if they were patched up with their previous material again." The Elder hummed lightly before turning to the 'phim, tail flicking lightly. "I do believe we haven't been introduced. My name is Libitana, Elder of these lands. What may I call you?"
Her eyes caught the sight of a male pixie, humming lightly. Ah, so he had also come through the mist. That meant he was desired somehow. "Do come closer, we don't bite."Much. As long as the male didn't hurt her tribe she'd be as sweet as a kitten. She briefly spotted Tanis returning from somewhere, tail flicking in greeting.
Avoid the anger woman, check. Flee from said woman's wrath? Double check. It hadn't been like he wanted to fall from the tree and land on just the wrong spot of the roof.... but he had. Luck was never kind to him. Though, falling had been fun. It was a nice rush compared to how slow the tribe was. Sure, it was new, but had Libitana informed it that it was so new that no one knew of it he may have reconsidered joining! Err.... well... That was a lie. He loved the swamplands. He loved his tribe. He loved its cause, too. He was just expecting a little more life.
Though, he had a feeling that'd change.
Padding through the fog like nobodies business was easy. He knew the lands. The 'deity had accepted him. He was safe. Though, that didn't stop the slight fear when he saw glowing eyes. What. A monster? In this fog? Would his body ever be found? .....Though, this was more exciting than being yelled at for destroying yet another roof, right?
So, without much consideration other than "I hope this doesn't eat me", he ran right to the glowing eyes and... mouth? Right? Was that a.... oh. Oh. Oh he was big. Tidus had skidded to a halt when he saw the elder, eyes wide. What was an elder doing on these lands, they already had one! Did he chase off Libitana? Oh no no no, he actually liked her as elder.... dammit! Though, the male seemed lost. He felt... sad? Perhaps? Tidus flicked his tail just once before approaching, a smile on his face.
Stranger or not, this guy looked like he needed a smile!
"Hey there! You seem lost? You want some help?"

(OOC: I wouldn't mind continuing the current RP for a bit, to let the foxes meet each other for the first time. But if people want to timeskip, I could do that too.)
Puck heard voices among the buildings, and a moment later he spotted several foxes. There was a modiphim, a normal male, and another pixie, who he heard say was the Elder of these lands. Guess there was a tribe here, then. He was wondering if they disliked intruders when the elder noticed him and called him out. No point in skulking around, then.
He padded into the light of the village, fluttering his wings a bit to blow a wisp of fog out of his face. He stopped near the Elder and 'phim and said, "Hey there. Seems I've gotten lost in all this fog. Could you tell me where I am?"
He stepped into the darkness of the swamp. It was quiet different than the forest his mother had raised him in, but it felt better. The smells were strong of water, but there seemed to be foxes mixed into it. Fireflies kept going past him, seeming to help lead him in even further along.
The insects had disappeared from next to Rainfall. Strange how they had left like that, but the fog was getting thicker. He looked back the way he came, only to find it seemed to be even thicker than in front of him. Shrugging, the sledfox moved forward, scenting the air around. Smiling, he trotted over to the...village?
Shaking off the fog from his tail and harness, the male seemed to be following behind another fox. The Elder seemed likely to explode and he prayed it was because of them, granted he was further back. Stepping closer, "Greetings to the foxes here."

Rune looked around in the fog, considering she was pretty well lost… again. However for some odd reason despite the overwhelming fog she wasn’t scared at all. After all due to her mutations she had stronger and sharper claws than most and her shadows already attacked pretty much any one that came close to her. In fact she was more worried for Jack, as they had been recently separated. However something was telling her to just keep wandering through the fog. Her shadows unwrapped against her body and sent a questioning feeling to her before giving their version of a hug. Ah yes that was another weird thing distracting her from being too worried about the thick fog. Her shadows were being strangely nice… in fact even thinking about jack lately just resulted in a barely unhappy ping being sent her way. Luckily she saw what might be a slight glow of light. Perhaps it was a clan or tribe and she could get directions and maybe shelter for the night or maybe there would be interesting foxes she could meet and create friends from?
Damaged roofs. Fer’n looked up at the buildings trying to figure out what they were made of she would have to take a closer look later. “Fer’n.” She answered still looking at the buildings before smiling back at the fairy. “Ok I’ll be able to fix them once I figure them out. Building are like stories and need to be looked at carefully.” She tilted her head wondering if all elders had wings like that. Other foxes were coming out of the fog. Fer’n was surprised to see more wings like the elder. Oh she could make a story about a lot of fairies! And there was a white faced fox coming in too. “Hello.” She cheerily called out a greeting to them all.
Spreading her wings she backed up a bit thinking perhaps they wanted to talk to the elder fairy and not her. Ner’f always told her she was butting into things when she shouldn’t. To prevent that she was going to take a look at the roofs and see what she was able to do. She could always ask for help form the others later if she needed it.

Awesome. Tribe has been a little dead, so I'm doing a time-skip. I want some activity, and will probably host a few games if we get enough people posting!
Currently: It's summer, and the dead middle of it. It's a little uncomfortable in the tribe because of the heat, but people are managing by games and getting to establish bonds with one another.
We have a few members, awesome! I'd love more! There's a single-mixer in the guild, and if any Lumi kids happen then you can let me know and we'll do another brief mini-skip to introduce the kids~
Patients: ANYONE can throw a fox in here who needs guidance. Libitana will address them, and give them a therapist (I'll quote you both)~
Current members: Libitana and her new mate, Willoughby, Rune and her boyfriend Jack, Fer'n (expect Xiu Mei to join soon), Tidus and his mate Pierre, Inna, Rainfall, Tanis, Puck, and Esperanza!
Please post and help bring this thread alive, like the good ol' days when tribes were popping~

Willoughby spent most of his days exploring the swamp and most of his nights exploring his fellow tribe members. He had never met such fascinating foxes before, from the ex-Elder of a different to the current Elder of Luminarium. He greatly enjoyed talking to everyone, learning about them, even trying to help them with any problems, if he could.
Recently, the weather didn't allow for too much physical, swamp exploration. Presently, he was spending his new-found free time alone, in the comfort of his own little cottage. It was much cooler indoors, with a light, heavenly breeze entering through the man-made window. Willoughby was eager for some company, though. He glanced out of his window, hoping to catch a glimpse of a passing fox.
Esperanza stood in the shallow watering hole, quickly dipping her face into the cool liquid for a quick bath. It felt wonderful compared to the general humidity in the air.
Once satisfied that she was clean, Esperanza returned to shore. She wondered where the others were, debating on whether or not she should wander around the lands just looking for someone. Something made her decide against that course of action. She stretched out on the ground beside the watering hole. The world fell onto its side as she examined the plants and water from her new perspective, sideways and on the ground. She fell into a light nap while staring at a nearby dragonfly explore the surrounding flora.

Libitana dragged herself out of bed, stretching and cracking each limb slowly. Having recently been caught by a stomach bug, she was finally better and ready to head out to see her tribe. Or, rather, Willoughby. The dark male with lovely markings had caught her eye the second he joined. Having spent more and more time with him, the female seemed to either be always by his side or off doing work. The sickness had given her some time to herself, having locked herself away from her tribe to protect them from any illness they may get, but now she was ready to be a proper Elder.
Nudging open the door to her hut, the vixen padded out and stretched once more, eyes flicking to cast a stern glance at Tidus, who was currently perched on the roof of her house, gazing down at her.
"Pray do tell why you are on my home, Tidus." She mused. Already, so early in the evening he was up to no good.
Tidus had wanted to take care of the Elder. Constantly on her s**t list thanks to his inability to stop destroying the tribe with his clumsy behavior, the hyper male had wanted to try and regain some good points. Somehow. However, she had barricaded her hut's door and for the past week the male had been trying to find some way to wiggle into her home and take care of her.
Hence being on the roof.
He had hoped that she hadn't patched the roof up from his last incident (falling through it a month ago), but she had. Caught in the act, the male merely stared at her with flicked back ears and a raised paw, clearing his throat awkwardly. Well, s**t. This wasn't going to help matters. Wiggling his bottom before launching off the roof, he landed beside the Elder and stumbled briefly before catching himself.
"Just seeing if you were okay." A nervous laughter followed before he shook his head gently. "Which, hey, you look a lot better, so.... so congratulations!" Was it painfully obvious Libitana scared the s**t out of him sometimes?
Libitana just sighed gently, ear flicking once at the male. He had been up to something, of course, but she'd look elsewhere for now. She didn't want to start lecturing him on proper etiquette so early in the morning. "Try not to linger on other's homes. It leaves a bad impression." Her mouth opened, about to comment further when she spotted Willoughby. Politely nodding her head, the vixen padded towards the dark and yellow male, tail flicking gently.
"Good morning, Willoughby." The vixen's voice was barely audible, as usual. Her wings fluttered once before folding against her sides, catching the sunlight and reflecting off the wooden bridge nearby.
Tidus sighed lowly as he watched Libitana head off. Well, at least she wasn't upset. Creeped out, yeah, but not her normal motherly anger. Well, he'd go bother someone else, Pierre. The green and black male darted off, nudging open Pierre's hut door and poking his head in. "Hey, Pierre? Are you awake?"
Fer’n’s wings were splayed out below her and her tail was wrapped around a leg. A light snore could be heard if one listened for a moment. Right now Fer’n was completely lost in a deep sleep and a wonderful dream. She had a mountain of food in front of her and Ner’f was nowhere in sight to tell her not gorge herself. A leg twitched while in her dream she began to eat though after a bit she realized she was lonely. It was nice to have a lot of food but it was all pointless if there was no one to share it with. A small whimper escaped the slumbering phim and she rolled over curling up tightly. Her dream slowly began to shift to a nightmare. She was looking for something and was lost. There was a light in the distance and no matter how far she just couldn’t seem to reach it.
Fer’n padded around quietly. She had just met this tribe the night before. It wasn’t like Nemat’s tribe at all. She had gone out traveling from Ner’f so that she would have some new stories to tell him and might have gotten just a small bit lost. Again. The mist had been so thick she didn’t think she would ever find her way out until she saw a little floating light in the darkness that lead her here. She was peeking around a corner watching the green fox she met before. In the lanterns light the wings almost seemed ethereal. It was like something out of a story, but Fer’n was trying to figure out if Miss mist farie was a hero or a villain. She had lead her here which was a safe place so she might be a hero, but… well there was no but anything. Fer’n came out from around the corner still quite and unobtrusive watching so that she could make a story out of all of this.
Puck was a bit lost. He'd been traveling around dusk and just looking for a place to rest for the night when he'd spotted some fireflies in a somewhat overgrown area off in the distance.
