The Doorway to Success (open)

[Deleted]

Daria stumbled into earshot. She cursed her bad paw, but perked up hearing the argument. She stalked closer. Her nose was strong, having no eyes to rely on. She hid behind a rock. But her ivory and gold tail tip showed.

Tala

She opened her mouth, prepared to correct him in the fact that his question was a dull question. Then she noticed the presense of another wolf. Just because she had to act dumb didn't mean she had to let her guard down. Tala glanced at the male. It didn't look like her had noticed the other wolf yet. She didn't like having another wolf present that she couldn't see, but if I play my cards wrong he will see right through my act.

An idea came to mind and Tala decided to act on it. Let's see how this goes... 

Tala spun towards the presense, tail wagging. In as cheerful a tone as she could muster, she shouted, "A friend has come to play with us!" She raced towards the ivory tail poking over the small rock. Not very good at hiding... Rounding the rock, she confronted the other wolf, but continued to play her part. "Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Honey! What's your name?!" No way am I giving my real name to a bunch of strangers.

So now ms. 'If you want a fight, I'll give if to you' wants to play. This had to be some sort of act. Or maybe she was simply bi-polar. Honey...no. That's not her name. No way is that her name. He would have known that the small wolf was there if not for the rage that had bubbled up inside him.

Fjord silently trotted to stand behind this 'Honey' to see if she was as stupid as she seemed. If she was smart, she would move to where she could turn quickly and descend herself, to where she could see the threat. If she was really this dumb she would continue to drip honey and stupidity from her words.

Daria just looked at Honey. "I could smell you coming." she said plainly. Her perly eyes gave no hint of what she was thinking. Daria got up and stretched. "As for mt name, it's Daria." at her full hight she was about an inch bigger then Honey. Her ivory, silver, and gold fur seemed to gleam in the sun. She turned to Tala. "I know your their to. I may be blind, but my nose sniffs out everything."

Tala

The urge to turn on the male behind her nearly blinded her senses. This must be a test. Tala considered her position carefully. If I get in a defensive position, my cover will be blown. But if I don't, he may attack me. After much thought, she decided on her next move. 

Tala jumped per up and rounded Daria. Since she was blind, Tala would pretend to help lead her. She pushed Daria's tailbone in the direction of the male wolf. "Hi Daria! Come meet my new friend! His name is..." She sat and gave him a puzzled look. "Actually. I don't know your name."

[Deleted]

Smart. Or Stupid. Fjord was frustrated. Half if him wanted her to be stupid, it woukd do well for him, but the other hald liked to see a string, capable, cunning shewolf. Althoygh, if he was right, snd this wasnt her true ifdntity, he would play aling. If Honey wasn't her real name, he wouldn't give up his. "I'm Platinum." he growled, flashing his fangs. Not that Daria could see them anyway. What use is a blind wolf? None.

The assertive white male leaped onto the rock that Daria was hiding behind. He sat regally and glared down at the two. Fjord was oractucally radiating diminance, he jnew it was his ddntiny ti become an alpha someday. Fjord gritted his teeth at the troublesome pair He was getting nowhere with this. Maybe he should just kill them both and ask questions later.

Daria shoved Honey off her. "I can get around just fine. Or I would be dead by now." she growled. Then her belly rumbled. She cursed under her breath. (I'm not going to type it, but let just say she's creative with curses) She sniffed around. A mouse was nearby. She started running after it, and one large paw landed on it's tail. She looked at the other two. "Well, are you going to eat?".

Tala

"Platinum", if that was even his real name, had jumped onto the rock. Tala became uncomfortable by the height advantage he had gained. He would have no difficulty overtaking her if he attacked from there. How should she proceed? Her fun-loving character needed an excuse to get him off the rock, join him, or... Daria darted off in another direction. Perfect. 

Tala crouched and barked, tail going wild. "Oh boy! Are we playing tag?" She galloped after Daria. Her long legs had no difficulty catching up to the blind wolf, even at her intentionally reduced speed. When she reached Daria, she leaped over her, tagging her ear. Then she kept running, yelling behind her, "You're it!"

[Deleted]

Platinum...no Fjord; Fjord stayed on his rock. His blood red paws furmly plsnted in this rough heap if rick. it looked like it was possibly granite, either that or some type of cinglomerate. Fjird furrowed his brow and glared disn at ghdm. were they wirth his time? Maybe he should leave. He coukd get his answers elsewhere. He didnt need this one stubborn shewolf.

He yearned to sink his dagger sharp teeth in some wolfs neck. Sadly Fjord could sdbse it wouldnt be one on these two. he would fund his quarry elsewgere, taste different, more exotic blood then these two vessels carried. But his blood lust wouldn't fully activate unless there was visible blood, he could make hat happen if course, but he found it extremely out of his way. Fjord shifted his stance on the rock. He lowered his head to glare at them with his blood red eyes, his black pupils narrowed to vertical chasm in the fiber if his soul.

[Deleted]

Daria yelped. Then growled, but her face was a little sad, a little angry, and a little questioning. The first thing she said was from the last one. "What is tag?" she asked. Then her sadness. "I never got to play with others. I was cast out of my pack because I was blind." but her anger never voiced itself. She felt that the mouse was trying to escape. "Oh no you don't she growled at it" picking it up and killing it. Since no one asked her fore a bite, she ate the whole thing herself. It was tasty. She then looked at Platinum, who she got the feeling he both wanted to kill someone, and that that was not his real name. She sat a bit like a alphess. (Her mother was a alphess, but she doesn't know that)

Tala

Tala recognized the look in the male's eyes. Boredom. That was never a good sign. When evil wolves get bored, they kill and he didn't seem too pleased with her. Plus, if he didn't try and kill her, he would leave instead. For some reason, Tala was enjoying the company of a wolf outside of her pack.

She watched the male carefully, but concealed it by responding to Daria. "You don't know what tag is? It's only the most popular game of puphood." Her next statement explained that. How pathetic. If this shewolf wanted to play, she should have forced her way into the friend group. She was obviously not evil, which meant no one would blame Tala for killing her. An evil grin spread across her mind. For now, she would play with this wolf. Maybe she would be the peacemaker between Tala and "Platinum." 

Her body coiled with uncontainable energy. "Tag is a game. One person is "it." They have to try to tag someone else. If they tag someone, the person they tagged is "it." Everyone is trying not to be the person "it," so it's very difficult to tag someone."

[Deleted]

Fjord yawned widely. His maw opening up to show the pinkness if his mouth and the gleaming white teeth. While 'Honey' explained a game to a blind wolf he started to sink into a lazy position, his ears relaxed along with his tail. He could afford being lazy right now. Dumb wolf and blind wolf wouldn't be bothering him. Unless dumb wolf was really smart wolf.

He hated when he didnt know things. He wanted to figure things out. He wanted to be sure. At least she didnt know his real name yet. Yet. He could play this game too. Fjord dug in his red paws. He was ready.

[Deleted]

Daria just stalked tword 'platinum' and lay down on the other side. Tears running down her face. She refused to play, and just lay. She started dreaming, but they only yielded memorys. Of the smell of her family, of Bruid, her first real friend.... She wanted to be friends with the wolves here, but they wouldn't revile their true identities. She wouldn't trust them until this unease with her and them left.

Tala

Daria walked away. Going along with her act, Tala yelled, "You don't wanna play?!" She plopped down and stuck out her bottom jaw in a pout. No one seemed to be watching her so she dropped her act. Daria seemed to fall asleep by the rock. Tala glanced at the male. She grinned. This was the perfect chance to test him. 

Tala snuck up up beside the male, making sure to stay alert in case he attacked. Then she brought her mouth up to his ear. "I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of this act. How about we spice this up a bit?" She gave an evil giggle. "We could have a little fun with the blind one. What do you say?"

[Deleted]

Fjord rolled his red eyes as the gold and white shewolf just began to sleep. Okay, now blind wolf was enormously idiotic blind wolf. No wolf in their right mind would let down their guard completely around an evil wolf. The wiry hairs on Fjords neck began to rise as he sensed Honey drawing closer. At her words he smirked. "So I was right." he stood silently on the boulder, his red swirled paws in stark contrast with the lichen covered stone. Fall was on its way, and Fjord was ready.

"hey, Daria. I'm really sorry about being moody. It's just that the cold wind...I just woke up on the wrong side if the den this morning. Forgive me?" Fjord put in his best sincere face, his red eyes round and his lips slack, his head bent low. The playfulness was on.
