Summer has arrived. The world has been well at peace, and others seem to be trying to take advantage. They believe we are lazy and complacent. We are no such thing. Remain vigilante, friends and family.
Give your congratulations to Maiko. She has been promoted to Blizzard; she earned it.
We also have an activity check going. Please reply so I can make adjustments accordingly. Check will go for an entire month so we can hopefully capture everyone.
As always, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to find me.

Ego
Well I thought she was asleep and really I was pretty proud of myself for having gotten this far into the den undetected- or so I believed and really, it would have been far kinder of her to just pretend to be asleep and allow my pride to remain intact for a little longer. Here I was, thinking I was pretty sneaky and she was actually awake. Whatever. I was going to be bigger than her one day and I wouldn’t need to sneak. I’d just walk in and eat her where she fake-slept. I scowled as she began to laugh, tiny puppy face crinkling in miniature outrage at this creature giant black creature and her laughter. Elijah was the one they should laugh at, not me, I’m nothing like him and I refuse to be mocked in this manner. I puffed myself up all the more, russet red heckles lifting to flicker in the gloom of the den, white pelt faintly aglow though the black of my face keeping all but the emerald of my gaze concealed. I probably looked head-less. Maybe it was laughable. Even so i managed to fix her with a glare as I flopped back onto my rump, mohawk still lifted in agitation as I flashed tiny fangs towards her while Elijah slept blissfully somewhere back within my mind. He was missing all the excitement. Shame. The big black female suddenly stops laughing, her features becoming impassive once more. Ha! A smirk touched my own lips, convinced I had terrified her into shutting up. If I could frighten her now I was damn sure the bigger I got the more terrifying I would become. Elijah might enjoy being small and insignificant but I do not. It’s only a matter of time and the longer I’m in control the more time I have to work out how to stay here and leave Elijah in the background. I really needed to work out how I got to be in charge in the first place. Maybe it’s a night time thing.
The big black one lifted her unsmiling head, her gaze meeting my own as I sat before her in an adorable heap with a childish scowl on my face, allowing myself to believe I had stunned her into silence before she spoke in that flowery language Grandfather and Mama and the others all used. Elijah knew it and I suppose by that definition so did I, at least, I heard him speak it all the time and knew enough to gather most of what she actually said. I didn’t like it though, those words are vile and tainted and wrong, they stick to my tongue and burn my throat. I huffed, annoyed at having been caught out and annoyed at having to use Elijah’s stupid words.
"Scio insidiatores, qui vult esse Eliam, id in omni tempore cogitat de modo vaga caput abstulit. Cogitat Angelum. Non puto nos. Im 'cursus tunc illi; et scio, fuerit, si nos unus ex angelis nobis nolumus, inhabitantes autem, extremam partem hoc clitellarius, ubi ipsa nonnisi Heyel usque in sempiternum ingrediebatur ut videret, nobis. Nos Erant 'confractæ. Fracta."
(I know about the assassins, Elijah wants to be one, he thinks about it all the time, just rambling away in his head. He thinks were an Angel. I don't think we are. I'm smarter then him and I know if we were one of the Angels we wouldn't be living on the outskirts of this pack where only Heyel ever comes to see us. We're broken. All broken.)
Well- Elijah wasn’t broken, I think I might be the broken part of him, I don’t really know what I am other then the fact the both of us are stuck here together. I snorted, shaking my puppy head before flicking my tongue out to lick at my jaws, trying to whip away those Angel words that clung to my teeth and tongue. I frowned again at the end of her sentence as we sat in the dark.
”Whose Cousin Ava?"
Who was this wolf that didn’t sleep and why was she relevant? Emerald eyes remained fixated on her own, demanding her answer to my question. Maybe I should have been afraid, maybe I should have been worried about the fact the majority of my words had just indicated I was clearly not as sane as most had been inclined to believe- but that would be Elijah’s mess to clean up, not mine. I grew rapidly bored of sitting, as children often do, moving to stand once more, curious of this large female as I made my way back towards her, sniffing at her muzzle before moving along her form, one paw reaching out to press into the thick fur of her shoulder, feeling muscle and power. I grinned, white teeth glowing in the dark once more before I reared back onto puppy limbs, lifting both over-sized white paws to place against her shoulder, parting the thick fur with delight. So...warm. I pulled back, glancing upward, speaking distractedly as I did.
”You the biggest wolf I’ve seen so far you know? You look a bit like Shadow. Do you know him? He...omph!"
I leapt, attempting to scramble on top of the female, climbing over her as We did Aaliyah all the time, trying to truly assess the size of her in the darkness, paws scrambling against her as I thudded into her shoulder blade before pulling myself up and onto her back, green eyes narrowed in frustration.
”He visits our Mother, waits for her near the border and they go off together. Giant black boy, emerald eyes, a bit like mine and Elijah’s and Alyx’s. Do you know him? I’m Ego by the way, I’m the Other Guy. The one Elijah pretends isn’t in his head. I’m the fun one and the brave one."
I crept along her back as I spoke, informing her of what I had so keenly observed through Elijah’s eyes, moving until I sat firmly between her resting shoulders, little body glowing in the dark, red heckles finally having fallen flat as I peered over her head and down towards her muzzle before my eyes drifted slowly back to her neck and the thick fur of her ruff. I think she asked why I was here, truthfully I didn’t really know, I just wanted to be brave and prove I was better then Elijah and I also wanted to find what was so warm and sweet smelling. I didn’t feel like answering that question, so I didn’t, head tilting slightly in the silence, contemplating my psoition before my jaws parted and I struck, straight down, aiming to sink puppy teeth into her ruff, having parted the fur to find her warmer feeling flesh and clamp down- why? Because I damn well can, I also want to punish her for having laughed at me earlier- take that. Why would anyone not like me?
