[center][b]Map[/b] [img]http://i66.tinypic.com/okmxc8.jpg[/img] [b]The Reef Pack Camp[/b] - This area is a little higher on the rocks, and close to Long Claw Point. This is so it won't flood as much as the other rocks do when the tide comes in. [b]The Astral Pack Camp[/b] - This camp is closer to the humans, and hidden under the the docks through a crack in the wood panels. This area can flood regularly, so a watchdog is almost constantly needed. [b]Long Claw Point[/b] - A long trail of rocks that almost never flood. Currently, it's a good spot to find or scavenge for food. [b]Abandoned Island[/b] - The only way to get to this island is to take a dangerous swim that is impossible to make. Any attempt at this would kill anything, let alone a dog. In appearance, this island has a huge building on it, which is falling apart. It never floods. [b]Docks, Human Shelter, & the Boat[/b] - This is all part of the docks, and is where humans sail out to sea on their boats. [b]The Rocks[/b] - These rocks get flooded when the tide comes in. The closer to the shore, the more dangerous. This is one of the best places to find and scavenge for food. [b]The Trees[/b] - These trees are one of the only places where small prey can be found. Most dog's skills are lacking of catching them, though, and they are still rare. [b]The Wall & The City[/b] - The wall is jumpable and there is a small amount of the city accessible. Dumpsters can be used to locate food. But beware, cars, other dogs, and humans are huge threats there. [b]The Ocean[/b] - A huge amount of water that is dangerous, yet brings food and safety to the dogs of the shore. Rather salty, not good for drinking. Rather, good water can be found in the Circle of Rocks. [b]The Circle of Rocks[/b] - This circle of rocks is made by men, and looks rather unnatural. But it is actually very valuable. When the rocks flood, fish grow trapped inside. When it rains (it's the monsoons at the time as the RP is going on), fresh water gets trapped in the circle. Because of this circle of rocks' precious resources, it is battled over fiercely by The Reef Pack and The Astral Pack.

Hello everybody! This is it! :D

Let's start of with a battle by the Circle of Rocks.

---

The two small packs of dogs snarled at each other, muscles rippling underneath their pelts. Their claws scraped against the rocks as they circled the other. Water splashed under their paws.
One fall of the thin line of rocks they were balancing on could mean death. A deep, dark pool of water was between the dog packs. It was swollen from the increase in rain that month.
A dog from one of the sides stepped forward. Her green eyes glinted coldly as lightning flash in the distance. Wind ruffled her thin grey fur. "These rocks will be ours, and we will fight for the right of them. You already have good hunting grounds. Why can't you just give these up and not fight? It's not like you'll win anyway." Her voice came out in a low, threatening growl.
Another dog, this one from the other side, stepped forward. "Torrent died yesterday because of starvation. She refused to feed herself to keep the rest of her pack safe. No one has starved from your side, have they? We are grieving for our lost leader. Just give up, we will not hesitate to fight." The dog nodded at his leader before stepping down, his eyes gleaming with sorrow and rage.
"You know nothing of grief!" Another dog yelled, flaring up. "My pups died because I had not enough food for them after they gave up on milk!"
The group of dogs broke out into angry calls mixing into sad ones.
A tall, lean dog raised his tail for silence. His pack quieted. The other leader did the same, then met eyes with the dog, her gaze challenging and worthy.
"If you will not back down... we will not be afraid. We know what to do." He crouched and, for a moment, his eyes could be seen. Fearless, was the expression he wore.
"Reef Pack!" He howled. "Attack!"
The dogs dived to the small stones that were still above water in the circle of rocks, hopping from one to another.
Another howl rang out. "Astral Pack! Attack!"
Another wave of dogs from the opposite side of The Reef Pack attacked, doing the same as the other dogs. They met in the center of the stones, one dog after another.
Yelps filled the air as some dogs fell into the unforgiving water, never rising to the surface again, for it was too hard to swim in the fierce rain.
Dogs ripped their claws at each other, drawing blood, which spattered on the rocks, only to be washed away by the pouring rain.
A dog's body was thrown across the water and onto a rock, then lay there in a soaking pool of blood and water. Her silver-grey fur could be seen being battered by the rain.
A bark of sorrow cried out. "Echo!"
The leader of The Reef Pack glanced over and snarled. He kicked a dog away from him and ran over, making extraordinary jumps. He put his ear to her chest, then looked up, his eyes dark.
"You made a mistake, today, Astral Pack." He growled. "Reef Pack! Retreat!"
The grey dog snarled. "The rocks are ours! No matter who gets in the way, they will be ours!" Seeing the battle was over, she waved her tail. "Let's go. We'll come back tomorrow morning with a guard for our territory."
The two packs retreated to their own camps, and disappeared for the rest of the night.

There you go! So, basically, Echo was their second in command, and was Torrent's (the previous leader) only daughter.
The Astral Pack went home because they had a bunch of injuries.
So now, in the Reef Pack, everyone's unhappy about the rocks and are wondering who the next second in command will be (who the user using Timer as a character will choose some time later into the RP (that's you, LoversMasque!) (when it comes to that))
In the Astral Pack, everyone is wary about the humans, their shortage on dogs and that a dog expecting pups disappeared in the battle, and her body couldn't be found. They are also worried about guarding the rocks, the Reef Pack could attack at anytime! (Bewarb)

So here we go! As to Grail's idea, dogs of the Reef Pack will talk in blue, and the Astral Pack will talk in purple.

So dogs are in their separate camps right now. Let's start off with Reef Pack dogs, doing whatever they're doing, then move onto The Astral Pack.

I would also appreciate it if ya'll subbed to the thread, it can get kinda annoying to ping everyone. Every. Single. Time.

And that's all, I think! If you have any questions, just post on the thread OOC or PM me.
I'll start us off with having Rumble giving out jobs for today, since they don't really have a second in command right now.

Rumble stood straight at the middle of a taller rock. He nodded down at his companions. "Russet, I'll come hunting with you after I'm done with giving out jobs. Go ahead without me to the shore of the rocks. I'll be right after you. Tidal, go scavenging along Long Claw Point. Some good stuff should have washed up today, the tide was crazy last night with the storm. Harpoon, go with him and keep watch for rogues. There's been a lot since of last month. Be ready to fight." Rumble turned to his leader and nodded solemnly. Tidal and Harpoon had already sprinted off to the point, which wasn't at all submerged. Russet had waited for him. He flicked his tail at her and the two sibling ran off the the shore to go hunting.
"I swear, if some of those Astral Pack dogs are out by the shore, I'm gonna rip them to shreds." He growled. "I'm sick of them stealing our food."
