Krigger: -stretches out in a rolly puppy fashion, tongue lolling-
Siora: -pounces her sister- HI!
Krigger: -dances to her feet, wiggling herself over to Sio- Hilo sister!
Siora: -rolls over then bounces up- hi hi hi hi -grins-
Krigger: -watches her sister with a grin- What are you -doing-?
Siora: I'm bouncing! It's fun! -bounces around in a circle- you should try it!
Krigger: Bounc...ing? -tilts head to one side, watching- I suppose I could... It won't hurt, will it? -muses to self- No, of course not, silly girl. Let's bounce! -pulls self down to the ground, then leaps straight up-
Siora: -gigglefit- of course it doesn't hurt! -still bouncing around- Yay! -tail wags as they bounce-
Krigger: -has decided bouncing is fun!- Yay! -echoes her sister as she leaps up and down, making a dive for Siora- Geronimooooooooooo!
Siora: -laughing her head off while bouncing, having the time of her life- bouncy bouncy bouncy...ahhh! -giggle!screams and tries to bounce away- you'll never catch me! -trips over a stick and tumbles to a stop-
Krigger: -is already in mid leap. Front paws hit the ground and in slow motion, the rest of her weight jerks forwards, sending her into a rolling ball- EEK! -puppy suqeal-
Siora: -giggling quieter now lying on her back- hehehe...hehe...Kriggy? -loooks around upside down- Kriggy, where'd you go?
Krigger: -rolled right into a bush! Scrambles around, peeking her nose out- Over here! -barks-
Siora: -rolls over seeing the bush her sister landed in- I'm comin for you! -pops up to her paws and hurries over to the bush jumping into it- I'll save you Kriggy! -yips trying to find Krigger inside the bush-
Krigger: -scurries down the the ground, mixing her belly in the mud, watching her sister with wide eyes- Save me! Hurry Hurry! -grins and scoots farther into the brush-
Siora: -blinks glancing around where'd she go?!- I'm coming Kriggy! -wriggles through the bush her paws touching dirt, crouches down trying to duck through the twigs and sticks- Kriggy?
Krigger: -pulls self farther into darkness, her loose skin making it possible to turn around and slink through the brush- C'mon, Sio! An adventure!
Siora: -starting to get a bit scared- Wait Kriggy, I can't see you - pushes self through the bush trying to catch sight of her sister's stripy tail- Where are we going?
Krigger: -can barely see- Siiiiiiio. It's okay. Don't worry. I'm not scared! -is a little bit...- Okay, so I'm lying, but still. Think of all the things we might find! -worries about never being found by daddy and mum, but pushes them aside- I dunno. But we're like...close. I can taste it!
Siora: -follows after her sister's voice swallowing a whine- I'm getting scared...it's all dark and damp -she thought about the things they could find and that scared her more, there could be monsters!- All I can taste is dirt -makes a face spitting out the dirt that got into her maw while crawling around-
Krigger: -hears something and freezes, the hairs on the back of her neck rising up- ...Si? Uh...There's...something...down...here... Backup, backup! -whispers turn into a squeal!-
Siora: -eyes go wide- I told you we shouldn't be down here! -whines and tries to back up as fast as she can- oooh daddy's going to be so angry with us! -whimpers still trying to turn around, her paw snared in a root-
Krigger: -a scream rises in her throat as she sees the gleam of fangs snapping at her! She scrambles backwards, tail tucking as she tries to hurry her sister, who's caught- Si! Your paw! Pull it free!
Siora: -whines her little pup body trembling- I'm trying! -pulls harder which just tightens the root around her paw even more- I can't get it out, it's stuck!
Krigger: -rushes to her sister's side, nipping at the root with a warbled whine- It was right behind me. You're right, it was a MONSTER! -shivers and bites at the root over and over-
Siora: -stops tugging so her sister could bite at the root- let's just get out of here so daddy doesn't kill us! -the root finally loosens enough so the pup could pull her paw out- I'm free!
Krigger: -tastes wood and her own blood from her gums as she gnaws wildly, hearing the breathing of the monster staring her down- Okay! Good! Hurry, Sio! Run! I-I'll cover you! -spins around on the invisible monster, waiting for her sister to take cover-
Siora: O-okay! -turns and runs through the bush, pushing her way through the sticks and twigs, scrambling to get out of the bush-
Krigger: -listens to the sound of her sister's scrambling pawsteps and her own heavy breathing as she stares uncertainly into the dark, seeing nothing but feeling afraid. As soon as she is sure Sio has a good headstart, she backs away slowly, then turns and flees!-
Siora: -doesn't look back as she runs finally tumbling out of the bush- I'm freeeeee! -throws self into the grass, panting heavily-
Krigger: -close behind her, leaping out with both paws outspread and collapses on top of Siora, heart beating wildly- Oh...my...gosh. We like, almost DIED!
Siora: Ooof! -is smushed under her sister but doesn't mind because they're alive- I knooow! -pants closing her eyes- let's never ever do that again....it wasn't much fun
Krigger: -giggles softly to herself, rolling off Siora and onto the grass beside her- I know. And we're covered in mud and a sticks and nasty stuff! Maybe next time we wont run into a monster... -voice trails off as she gazes back out at the hole they emerged from. Slowly stands up and pads over, cautious, ears pricked forwards. Then gives a sharp scream and bolts behind her sister-
Siora: -sits up as Kriggy gets off her, trying to shake some of the mud off her. whimpers watching her sister- Kriggy! don't go back in there! -screams after her sister screams and turns trying to run away but just running into Krigger- I want mommy and daddy! -scared of the bush-
Krigger: -green eyes are wild as she hunkers in her spot where Siora ran into her- There's something in there, Sio... It's got two faces! -squeaks softly and stands up, jumping at every little sound the bush makes-
Siora: I don't wanna know what's in there Kriggy! I wanna go hoooooome! -whines curling up in a little ball-
Krigger: -stands over her sister almost protectively although she is a coward- COME OUT MONSTER! -barks ferociously- Come out and show yourself or GO HOME! -little hackles rise up as she snarls-
Possum: -pokes his head out of the bushes, an ornery grin playing on his lips as he pricks his ears and makes a snarly face- I didn't know Broken Shore had puppies! -tail wags as he climbs his leggy teen body out of the brush and towards them-
Siora: -whines shivering- Kriggy leave the monster alooone! -hearing the 'monster' she yelped and tucked her tail up between her legs- OH GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE! I'M TOO YOUNG TOO DIE!
Krigger: -giggles a bit, poking her sister with a paw- Si. Look. It's not a monster! Mister...are you a monster?
Possum: -watches amusedly- Maybe if you played dead, it'd be more convincing?
Krigger: -shoots a glare at the stranger and nuzzles Siora- Look, Si!
Siora: -slowly lifts a paw to check out the monster- Why's he have two faces? -sits up slowly looking up at the teenage wolf, curiosity overwhelmed the pup and she trotted right up to him staring upwards- Why do you have two faces?
Possum: -blinks slowly, looking between the sisters, then over at the badger pelt on his back- Oh.... Ohhh. Haha. This is a gift from my mother, Fie! All of her children have one. -shrugs it off and gently places the badger on the ground- See?
Siora: -tilts her head to the side confused- it comes off? -takes a step towards the badger pelt, poking at it with a paw- is it dead?
Krigger: -sidles forwards, burying her nose in the coarse coated pelt, sniffing- It smells dead.
Possum: It is dead. -chuckles to himself, then picks up up and slides it onto his back- But it's part of me, yanno. -tail wags and he holds out a paw, which is about the size of both puppies' muzzles- I'm Possum.
Krigger: -stares at him, flopping into a sit and touching his paw with her nose- I'm Kriggertarpok.
Siora: -pokes the pelt one more time before possum puts in on- I guess it's dead -shoves her muzzle up against the bigger wolf's paw sniffing it- I'm Siorauyak
Possum: -grins down at Siora, easing into a sit, bushy tail still wagging- Nice to meet you, sisters. -olivine eyes glitter- You've got such strange names.
Krigger: -huffs and puffs out her chest, making herself look bigger than need be- I like our names! What kinda name is Possum anyhow?
Siora: -frowns at his words- Momma says our names are pretty -sits just behind her sister nodding in agreement- I like our names too
Possum: -throws his head back in a laugh, his entire soul grinning- I like them. Just sayin' they're different. -hops to his paws, circling the puppies before freezing- You two wanna go on a real adventure?
Siora: -can't help but smile Possum was nice...if weird- good -she kept her eyes on him as he circled them. her ears perked up at mention of a real adventure- What kind of adventure? -her previous fear forgotten she hopped up bouncing over to him-
Krigger: -as Sio pounces to her paws, she's on hers as well, shuffling closer to the strange but friendly young male who only seemed a few months older than them- I like adventures...as long as there's no monsters... -considers the scare back in the bushes and shudders-
Possum: -flops into a laying position so he's eye-level with them- You see, there's a hill across the forest that's rumored to have treasures of all sorts buried beneath it. When the sun hits it, you can practically see the gold glittering beneath the earth! -wags tail- I'll have you there and back before your parents ever figure out you're gone! I promise.
Siora: -eyes widen at the mention of treasure- I like treasure! especially shiny treasure! -pounces on the biger wolf's head unceremonisouly clambering up to rest between his head and that of the possum pelt, her own head resting between his ears- let's go!
Krigger: -watches her sister with wide eyes as she clambers up and flops on Possum's head, but the idea of glittery treasure was too much for the pup to resist and she was on her paws as well- Take us there, Uncle Possum! -squeals-
Possum: -stands carefully, balancing the pup on his neck by lowering his head. Looks at Krigger and grins, pointing to the side of the forest- This way, girls! -And he takes off, with Krigger prancing along behind him-
