"Well, most men should," Toshiro replied just now realizing he was a tad too close to Kari, less than a foot apart, "It's not like you're going around decking guys. I'm... Kinda surprised no one's asked you out." Clearing his throat and averting his gaze to his water bottle, Toshiro could feel the cabin they were in getting a bit warm. He looked over to the dials for the A/C and lo-and-behold the vents certainly were set to blowing cold air. He felt his face was a little flush too, which in his eyes didn't seem like a good sign of keeping composure. He supposed it was the fact that... Could Toshiro like Kari? It was ever a wonder, Teru always said that his older brother could be gay because he never seemed to like girls. That was a lie. It wasn't that Toshiro didn't like women, it was more he was extremely particular. He couldn't ask Kyouka out because- Well- She was practically his sister in a way. Sure there were other girls that actually like the guy, but the feeling wasn't mutual. "Unagi. I prefer Unagi over most types of sushi. I mean I guess I like the California Roll too, but that's more an American thing. You have a particular favorite?"

May 10th, 10:25 A.M. 12th and Parker "Main Street," Pine Heath Sunday morning went about as well as it usually did, slow and steady. In the large, sleepy town of Pine Heath, business fluctuated with the traffic usually hitting at the hours of 6 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM, usually with the city going into a near dead silence at night save for the overnight workers, party animals, and the occasional night owl. Today was no different, the sunny and warm Montana day was ideal for people to come out and participate in activities or take care of errands. Most folks were either off enjoying the day and staying home or working, business as usual. And that much was true for one (or more) particular individual(s). An old Dodge pickup truck was driving down Main Street, the engine a bit loud no thanks to the muffler that fell off long ago. Despite it being nearly twenty years old, it still ran... Decently. In recent times the old thing was running a tad bit heavier and struggled during certain times of the year. Despite how much he fixed on it, his pride and joy was running a lot rougher than what he's used to. Austin Windcaller was one of the oldest members of Pine Heath, never residing in town but rather the Half Moon Reserve where his home was; the very same reserve where his pack lived. As the truck made its way down the street he would notice how quiet it actually was, save for the stray vehicle and bystander here and there. Usually there would be more people out and about but Austin wasn't about to complain, less traffic meant more time to take his time running errands. Well, not necessarily errands, just spelunking around and getting a break from the Midnight. Days like this was when the Alpha of the Midnight Pack could step away and get some time to himself, he wasn't opposed to one or two of his members coming along and if any had. The trip to the city was filled with silence and music from the country station he chose. His truck, his rules. Austin sighed as soon as he stopped at a red light, so far his thoughts were empty but... He could go shopping...? It wasn't usually his forte, however the older he got the more he wanted to actually get out and do things, said things didn't even have to involve money just more a matter of fucking around. "I suppose the mall sounds good..." Austin said to himself, pulling onto the highway that would lead into another ten minutes of driving.

"I suppose, I've always assumed ladies should get this kind of treatment," Toshiro responds, "There's no need to apologize either." Toshiro's thoughts ran rampant at Kari's reaction to the treatment she was receiving. Was this an uncommon thing for her? He assumed that a woman like her would have had a man already given this kind of attention, but then again, in this day and she there aren't a lot of men willing to go out of their way to do something like this. Unless Kari was the kinda gal that really didn't go out of her way seeking this kind of stuff or that she kept a low enough profile. Toshiro continued, "Not often someone... Of your looks tend to catch my eye." Internally Toshiro struggled. He wasn't one for vocal compliments or but but showing his affection physically. It was the first time he was alone with another woman in a small space with no one else around. Technically. The other goobers were up front loud as can be but were otherwise segregated from the pair in the back, which... May or may not evolve into something else entirely. Feeling the buzzing vibration of his phone, Toshiro pulled the device out again and looked over a message. He would slide it to the side and said, "Alright, looks like we're fifteen minutes out from some sushi restaurant. There... Anything you want to talk about... In the meantime...? It was hard not to take his eyes off Kari, Toshiro struggled internally and his tone showed it. He had one other he had strong feelings toward but wouldn't dare ruin the relationship they already had. For Kari... She was welcoming, sweet, and the man ever wondered why he liked her. Perhaps she was a succubus luring him in? Or perhaps he should stop thinking like some retard and treat this as... Well... As anything other than that. And while he didn't notice it, Toshiro had inches closer to Kari by way of readjusting himself due to bumps in the road.

Fuck it, I pussyfooted long enough. I'll have an Austin post in one of the Pine Heath topics tonight. If any of y'all wanna join be my guest. As for my recent outside characters, despite there still being work to do on them, they're available. Got Eric who helps his grandfather, Samuel (another PC), run a farm just outside of Pine Heath; both of which are werewolves but change very, very rarely. I have Bella, Eric's sister, also available as well, however she's Human.

I suppose getting out would help. Probably an outdoor mall sounds good enough to me, now is this in regards Austin or Kabiki? Wanted to ask, I'm powering off of the last braincell I have, so just wanted that clarification

I suppose I'm back. Will get those characters done up, beyond that, I've got Austin (Alpha/Midnight) and Kabiki (Blackthorne). I know there's one of y'all with a little shop I intend to get involved with here soon, but if y'all got ideas, suggestions, or plot points you'd want to visit, lemme know. I'm your huckleberry.

"Right... One water." Toshiro said as he reached across Kari for a split second, his right arm opening up a mini-fridge that was tucked beneath one of the seats. He opened it up to grab a cold bottle, noticing the lady's scent which seemed to catch his attention all the more. It was something sweet which caused him to linger just a couple seconds longer before snapping out of it. Pulling the bottle from the fridge and closing the door Toshiro handed the water to Kari before resting back in his seat. Perhaps he was a tad closer than before but maybe it was also the pair just seeing things. Just as he was about to say something, Toshiro felt the vehicle doors shut in the compartment in front of them, music starting to play and muffled voices could be heard through the wall that separated them. Again, he was starting to speak when the phone in his pocket vibrated, proceeding to roll his eyes and pull it out. Upon seeing what number was calling he would click the green button on the screen. The speaker was on and a deeper voice immediately crackled over the line, "Whataburger or sushi?" "Both," Toshiro then hung up, he opened his mouth but closed it, looked at the phone and decided to put it on mute. Then he moved and pressed the child safety lock on the wall in front of him and Kari to ensure they wouldn't be interrupted. And finally he sat down just slightly closer to Kari and said, "Okay, so if I'm guessing where he'll be going first, I'm gonna assume we'll be heading to a sushi restaurant first. Afterwards I'm not even sure what we'll be doing, knowing my brother, he's got some crazy event going on. But... How are you these days? The whole "Knight " thing working out as of late?"

"If you say so... She just turned eighteen didn't she? How uhh... You know if she's available?" One of the guys asked. "Ain't worth it," The other responded, "Besides if Eric gets back home soon, would you rather deal with his wrath, or the Old Man's? Never stick your dick in crazy, had an uncle who did that and he became a baby daddy to a psyche ward, whole god-damned family was nothing but drama." There was a pause and then the first man continued, "Fair point. Fair point. But still-" "She's bisexual, leaning more towards chicks if I remember right." As the men finished packing up their kill, rifles slung around their bodies, they would decide to leave the remains with a little bit of meat leftover onto it for the local wildlife. No need to get greedy. Once they packed their bags full of the packaged meat, the pair headed toward a river nearby, one taking a turn to wash their hands and arms whilst the other held the equipment. "Bro that's fucking lame! How come the chicks I like are either bi or gay?!" The same guy asking about Bella exclaimed. The other shrugged, finishing washing his hands, "Beats me, maybe it's a sign from God that you need one of them country gals. Shit, knowing your luck, might end up getting rejected by one that's lesbian." "Don't jinx it, dude, can't go online dating anymore after the whole stalker thing with Gerald." "Wait, you had that meathead stalk you?" The second man handed the equipment and bags over and started to make his way toward the river bank, "Yeah, how'd you not hear about that? Son of a bitch was cat fishing young men and was kidnapping them, sheriff found a lot of bodies buried in the guy's dad's farm. Guess I was the wrong and last one, busted through a window with a trench knife and I put a bird shot right into his face. Somehow survived, but that happened... What, three years ago? Kinda feel bad for Gerald's dad, man's nicer than most."

Following suit, Toshiro would close the door behind himself, finding a seat in the other corner next to Kari. Between his legs on the floor was a small sports bag and upon opening it, Toshiro pulled out a black T-shirt and started to undo the tie to his suit. Once the tie he been taken completely off, Toshiro proceeds to take off his outer coat revealing a white shirt beneath and carefully folded it, placing it beside him. What didn't necessarily click in his head was that Kari was very much present, he was used to being around Teru and Takamo so when he slipped off his shirt to reveal his torso, when in rome, one guessed; the massive scar across his chest from their first encounter still present amongst the muscular aesthetic he had. After placing the folded suit and the used shirt into the bag, Toshiro would finally slip on the black T-shirt he originally pulled and then looked over to Kari, realization striking him. He paused, the two braincells he had for the day finally colliding and giving the idea that maybe taking his pants off in front of the poor girl wasn't a good idea either. Then again, it was a first time for everything. Clearing his throat, Toshiro really wanted to clear the air of any embarrassment between the two. "Sorry... I uhh... Usually don't have other company," Toshiro said, trying to sign up an excuse for undressing himself, "You... You need a water?"

The vehicle Toshiro and Kari walked towards was the elongated Hummer limousine that he arrived in, and while shorter than usual it was still bigger compared to most vehicles at the event. With the man approaching the back of the vehicle he would open the rear passenger side door revealing a fine and luxurious interior. The seats were black with a red trim, with the windows being tinted for privacy from the outside. The back of the Hummer alone could fit at least fit seven people into it and some space left over, ahead was a wall with an interior roll down window that led into the next cabin which was much larger. "We'll be having the back here, knowing my brother and Kyouka, they'll be riding with their friends in the middle," Toshiro said, gesturing for Kari to climb in, "Ladies first."

//Sorry for the wait boss, been busy with work.// In the distance there was some twig snapping. At first it could've been a branch falling from a tree however it happened several other times. And if one were to carefully listen, it sounded like footsteps somewhere behind one Pat. And soonafter, the sound of talking, quiet, but audible to the werewolf. "How you feel about Eric coming back?" A young male said, possibly no older than eighteen. A second male replied, "Not sure. I know Bella'll be happy, his old man? Don't know." Two young men were in the process of cleaning an elk they had hunted, already having it skinned and now they were carving out the meat and wrapping it all up in individual Ziploc and saran wrap. The second hunter was now starting beginning to make cuts around the rips, careful not to slice anything other than edible flesh. The pair had hunting shotguns and were dressed in hunting gear to help blend in with their surroundings, even going as far as to paint their faces in blacks, browns, and greens. "C'mon you were up the guy's ass the entire time he was here!" The first hunter said. "Dude that's because of his sister! She's scary as shit when you say no! Ain't trying to fuck with the consequences." The second replied and now stood up.

//WIP So Ecchi doesn't eat the post I'm making// Name: Samuel Breach Age: 147 Sex: Male Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Rank: Omega Species: Timber Wolf Personality: Samuel is a reserved man who keeps to himself, quiet and really only speaks when spoken to. He simply watches and observes, making mental notes of who is decent and who isn't, having already known the townsfolk of Pine Heath for several decades now. He can be a bit of smart ass as well, having quips for when they're needed and not as well, he tends to speak his mind if he feels the need to. With owning the Crescent Breach Farms, Samuel tends to stick mostly to raising cattle and horses, he takes his ranching business seriously and hires/fires only if necessary. Despite being a Werewolf, Samuel rarely ever changes and is a stray compared to actual Omegas of a pack, preferring to stay with no ties to any packs. However, he has done business with the area's Midnight Wolf Pack, selling livestock when the time is ripe and even has a safe house in case their members need it; that said, only in cases of dire straits. Appearance Details: Samuel stands at 5'10" as a Caucasian, middle-later aged man. While in his "Golden Years" the man is quite fit for herding and raising farm animals, granted he has no ripped six pack of abs, he indefinitely is muscular. Samuel had golden eyes with silver hair, normally wearing jeans, a shirt with a leather coat with some boots, and topped off with a Western styled hat. In his wolf form, Samuel stands at 8'5" and has a thicker coat of various earthy tones, but one can easily see the silvers and greys in the fur. Other Details (Optional): Name: Belladonna Breach Age: 19 Sex: Female Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual (inexperienced) Rank: N/A Species: N/A Personality: Belladonna Breach is an excitable girl who is always looking to go out for a bit of fun. She's a bit of a troublemaker, whether it's breaking into old warehouses and factories just to explore or speeding down the roads at night, even getting into fights on occasion for shits and giggles. To match her mischievous nature Bella is witty and curious, always trying find something new whether it's to investigate or look at. Appearance Details: Other Details (Optional): Name: Eric Breach Age: 32 Sex: Male Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Rank: N/A Species: Timber Wolf Personality: Appearance Details: Other Details (Optional):

Sorry, hopefully none of that is too confusing. I will be running a plot where there'll be an investigation of a rumor of another pack that's moved in, it'll be a slow burn, but the same goes for Blackthorne and how a new coven has popped up. I think I'll also be (very slowly) working on a plot of Austin passing the torch of Alpha, given we don't have a whole lotta peeps on here quite yet, that too will be a slow burn. If you've got any plots for characters or anything else you wanna explore, give me a holler. That will be fine with Human NPCs if you'd like. Just don't go too crazy, I know I'll have some whipped up here pretty soon. That said, I'll have an interaction with your character here in a few days, I'm in the middle of my work week so it might take a good minute. Apologies for the wait.

Actually outside of the pack. Pretty much normal... Semi-normal people who just live around Pine Heath but do have awareness/some connection to the pack in one way or another. They aren't Omega's either, actual people that aren't aligned with Blackthorne or Midnight. They'll be posted in the "Outside and Human Characters" page I made, at least one I whip them up. I'll need a solid minute to get a good plot or two thought up, I'm.in the world week, so I'll be posting something in regards to that.

If you wanna help that'd be fine. I was planning of making some actual characters (not NPCs) that really weren't tied to any one group (so pretty much this thing called normalcy), but not a whole of thought comes to mind in regards to plot. I know the son would be coming home from the military (medical discharge) so there's that if that's anything to go off of. I know the two characters (or three) are a family of farmers, a father, son, and daughter, who are just living their lives in Pine Heath. And yes, they're one of the very few individuals who know about vamps and werewolves. It'll take me a minute to get them going but they'll be posted here soon(ish). Do you have any plots/characters you wanna explore?
