OOM: The Pack's clearing.
It's the full moon and the clearing in the forest is empty. But it won't be for long.

Shapeshifters and friends of the Pack feel free to tag in, thread hop, or just let us know you're there!

Fresh from Arithon's wedding, Garion is there, trotting out into the clearing. It's been quite some time for him since he last ran in these woods, over a year, and he's missed everyone.

[ooc: massive slowtime as I'm falling asleep at my desk, but I ALWAYS miss these and I wanted to put him in]

Jason grins and heads over to Garion, crouching down and burying his face in Garion's ruff.

"I was hoping you'd make it. Now we can really celebrate you getting Ce'Nedra knocked up!"

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

The wolf snorts before nuzzling against Jason in greeting.

""All the celebration is in her glowing smile, but this one has missed the hunt with you and his pack here. It will be a good night.""

*Can't have too many canines around without a feline to balance things out.*

*Or something.*

*He's there, anyway.*

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason pads over to Yrael. Yes, he's shifted already...
shut up...

""What makes you think cats are allowed tonight?"" he asks playfully.

[mogget_cat]

*grinning, speaking mock-threatening* What makes you think you can stop me if I want to be here, pup?

Huh?

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

""Pup? I think you've got your wolves crossed.""

He playfully pounces on the not'cat, trying to catch his head in his jaws.

[mogget_cat]

No, I think not, pup.

*Jason's stomach is going to be feeling the effects of being suddenly kicked by the backpaws of a bepouncet leopard-sized cat... at least until tomorrow.*

He rolls off to the side, snorting at Yrael. Then that look reappears and he leaps back again with a joyous yelp.

""Cheater! Stay one size!""

Because they really need an entrance, Jason is waiting just outside the back door for Richard.

[ulfricrichard.livejournal.com]

A man Richard's size should make a sound approaching. He doesn't. But his energy is unmistakable. "Ready?"

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason turns casually, a dreamy smile on his face.

"Good thing I'm not as bad as I used to be, Richard. It's getting late you know."

[ulfricrichard.livejournal.com]

"Not that late." He's looking towards where the moon will rise. "Let's go." He hasn't actually been to the Pack clearing yet. Jason will have to lead.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason nods and lead the way to the clearing.

"It's nothing like back home, but it does well enough I think."

He pushes through the brush into the clearing and stretches happily. Ahh, his clearing.

[ulfricrichard.livejournal.com]

Richard doesn't seem to push through so much as just blend through. It isn't just a werewolf thing. It's a Richard thing. "No. It's not very like home." They don't have to worry so much about being shot here.

A soundless approach from the trees, two pairs of wild eyes glimmering under the moonlight. They'd scented the pack, and now approached carefully. It had become clear to Strongbow that neither he nor his wolf-friend Lashpaw would be finding a way out of this place any time soon, so they'd done the best they could hiding and hunting in the woods.

Now they find this gathering-place under the moon, which smells strongly of wolf, as does Strongbow himself, descended as he is from a mating of High One and wolf. Some of the wolf's blood can be seen in his features: the eyes accustomed to a nocturnal life, the high, tapered ears, the way he moves, stalks, scents, and were he to bare his teeth, they would be wolflike as well.

Now he and his mount arrive, both posturing cautious submission to the rest of the pack. He knew well their language.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason starts as the newcomer arrives, ears flicked forward. He turns his head to Richard, but thinks better of it. Richard may be his Ulfric, but this was his clearing wasn't it?
He steps cautiously forward, being sure to keep alert. It smells like wolf...but...what was it?

""Who are you?""

[wyl-waykeeper.livejournal.com]

Strongbow creeps towards the stranger, trying to decide if he is Alpha. He crouches on all fours, neck extended, sniffing. His senses are nearly as keen as a wolf's.

**Strongbow and Lashpaw.** He attempts a wolf-send, his telepathic voice reaching towards the mind of the wolf who approaches him.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason peers from Lashpaw to Strongbow. He stepped uneasily to the side a bit. That one was a real wolf...he wasn't sure how he would react to a werewolf.

He comes a bit closer, eyes still flicking to the wolf. ""You are not human?""

[wyl-waykeeper.livejournal.com]

His lip curls in a disdainful snarl at the mention of humans. Beyond the general resemblance due to body form and function, nothing about Strongbow suggests he might be at all human.

**I am an elf,** he Sends. **Of the Wolfriders pack. Cutter is my chief.**

As for Lashpaw, he had long been running with a pack of both wolves and elves -- a werewolf would not faze him in wolf-form.

There's a *crack whoosh thump* and Peter comes sailing into the clearing, in hot pursuit of a demon bunny. To his soon to be dismay, there's a rather inconspicuous root hidden under the blanket of snow. Because it is a very Peter-ish thing to do, his left hind paw catches on this invisible root and sends him sprawling through the snow. The demon bunny seems to giggle, and bounds into the forest. Peter huffs in frustration, and flops down in the snow.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

A voice comes from above him.

""If you had waited and hunted with your Pack, you would not be humiliated by a demon bunny.""

No comments on Jason's first bunny hunt in Milliways.

[wer-storm.livejournal.com]

Peter ignores the comment, and jumps up, tongue lolling in joy.

""JASON!!!""

He headbutts the older wolf and nips at an ear. Ah, brotherly love.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason rears up and jumps on the pup's back, trying to chew at his neck.

""At least you had the good sense to come out on the full moon. I never see you pup!""

[wer-storm.livejournal.com]

Peter flips over on his back, and grabs one of Jason's forepaws in his mouth.

""I know! How's life?""
