  • [justify][fancypost borderwidth=0px]Considering there were no lieutenants, and the general seemed occupied, Scott took it upon himself to assign weekly tasks to those who desired to have one. Their group had been doing well for some time, though now, it was becoming more stagnant. He wasn't quite certain as to why either. With a shrug of his shoulders, the Corporal entered one of the more active areas of camp, where nearly everyone could be found. The assignments he had been aware of were not the most thrilling, so he had been wracking his brain for ideas for the duties he would giving to those of DarkClan. He stood silently for a moment, astoundingly still and quiet. Because his personality was so outgoing, it was bizarre to see him in such a state. Montgomery was merely pondering, attempting to seek out something for the members of their clan. Meager tasks would hardly draw any attention, though larger, more extravagant ones would repel other individuals. There had to be a balance between both or it would merely fall through.


    Once he had mulled over the countless ideas for tasks in his mind, Scott pushed himself into an erect position. His head was held high, and his limbs were straight and rigid, yet not in an awkward manner. He oozed confidence, and his ego was obvious enough for anyone to witness. With a more commanding look adorning his facial features and posture, he parted his lips to speak, "Hey! DarkClanners! Get over here if you want a little somethin' to do." His bark echoed throughout the hall and even managed to be projected outwardly as well. Hopefully others would gather at his call rather than ignore it.

  • [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px; text-align: justify]He couldn't really remember if he'd asked for one of these tasks before. If he had, then he hadn't done it. That didn't sound like him, though, so the canine probably had just not gotten around to requesting one. Jones was tired of sitting around on his ass, and he was glad that Scott had decided to take the initiative to get things rolling. Where had all of their high positions been, as of late? Seraphina, Righthook, Duskheart, Nukakit, dare he go on? It was like they had all just.. disappeared, or maybe they just stopped caring about their job. Hm. Whatever the reason, it was a bad reflection on both Yuuma and DarkClan as a whole. If their high positions couldn't even be motivated to make regular appearances, why would anyone else try and bother, too? Perhaps Jones' logic was flawed, but it seemed to make sense to him. Oh well, he supposed it was all up to Yuuma. Anyways..


    "Sure," Jones answered with a light smile as he trotted up alongside Hayseed, tail wagging slowly back and forth as he waited for the Corporal to give him a task. Hopefully, Scott wouldn't give him a painstakingly boring or mediocre task like 'host a meet and greet,' because Jones honestly wasn't sure how many more times he could attend one of those without falling asleep.

    winter was very new to darkclan, and had never received a task before, so the young pup was very excited to (hopefully) be given a task, no matter how difficult it would be. the alaskan malamute made her way over to where people had started to gather with a friendly smile on her face. "i'd like one, please!"

    Bigby was having a smoke when he heard the loud, clear tone of Scott sounding off in the background. He was a little surprised seeing him make an announcement and not the other high rankers. It was almost even suspicious, but he dropped it. Tasks huh? Bigby was never one to work for another, even in a clan. He was a one-man show that played by his own set of rules. Most of the time. Seeing Jones and Hayseed gather over eagerly for their own sets of missions, Bigby took one last puff of smoke and let the cigarette drop to the soil, crushing it beneath his heavy paws before trotting off. The huge brute's tail lashed out behind him as he halted between the other two members, his head tilting down to see the Doberman that stood firmly before him. No matter how tall another would stand, almost everyone was shorter than Bigby. It was a little angering, tilting his head down constantly could be tiring at times. Ah well.
    "Task, huh?" He repeated, cocking his head over and quirking a brow in interest. The dire wolf nodded enthusiastically and licked over his lips as he spoke again. "I'll take one, but it better not be some dumb sh*t."

  • [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth: 500px][justify]Lorraine always viewed Scott in high regard, so the announcement really didn't come as much as a surprise to her. Despite his shortcomings- and she knew that there were, ah, quite a few- Monty was a hard worker and she appreciated the efforts he made to create a better situation for all of them. The pretty coyote, deciding that she wanted to try a task for herself, took a seat besides Jones patiently. She glanced around the room, seeing some faces that she hadn't seen before but recognized the majority of them for the most part. Her green visionaries finally fell upon Scott.


    She wasn't all too familiar with these weekly tasks, and hadn't yet seen any around that she had been aware of, but figured that it was a pretty straightforward concept. Hopefully Mont would be somewhat lenient with her and didn't provide her with a task that was too humiliating. Of course, she could always say no, depending. The French femme inhaled slowly, tapping the ground with her tail a few times before she finally settled. She figured that it was pretty obvious why she was here, but decided it was important to politely ask for what she came for. "J'en aurai un," Lorraine told him, knowing very well now that he, too, understood her language.


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; margin-bottom: 5px;][justify][font=georgia]"I... could."


    could he? that tom wasn't really sure -- he couldn't exactly do much in terms of leaving camp, or... really anything to be honest. he was a skilled fighter, knew forms and practice, but he would've preferred avoiding conflict. to teach perhaps? although his social skills were rather poor. he wasn't trusted, and that was understandable, so he figured that he'd just... try. try to do something decent.

  • [justify][fancypost borderwidth=0px]There were many more to gather than he originally thought would have, but his astonishment did not rise on his features. Instead, a wide grin began to spread as many formed a small group near him. It fueled his ego, caused his posture to straighten even more so than it already had been. His chin tilted up a bit, even as he peered down at those beneath him. He turned his honey eyes to Hayseed first, as the mute, leather creature had been the first to appear. Because he was a mute, Scott believed it would be rather amusing to have him host a game of charades, seeing as how he practically had to play the game himself. His lack of communication was a bit of a fault he could not quite rid of, and while he didn't have to act out what he wished to say, it would be an activity that would at least be inclusive and somewhat lively. "Hey, Hay, why don't ya host a game of charades?" Montgomery questioned with a tilt of his head, a chuckle escaping his lips at his amusing greeting. His eyes soon shifted from Hayseed to the next to arrive, Jones. The male had recently been discovered drinking Vat 69, an incredibly specific alcohol. Did that mean he was fond of humans? Scott doubted it, seeing as how he wasn't particularly fond of them, and Jones shared similar tastes with himself, fortunately. The Corporal couldn't help but peer down at him for a moment longer, attempting to conjure up an idea for the male specifically. "Jonesy, do you still got that booze? How 'bout you play a little spin the bottle?" Scott suggested with a wiggle of his nonexistent brows, acting in a rather suggestive manner despite simply meaning 'play the game' and little else.


    Winterpaw was definitely adorable, in his eyes, though he only saw her as such. There was no way in hell he would attempt to hit on someone younger than himself, unless it was only by a month or two. But, Win had only recently become an apprentice as far as he knew. He remembered greeting her at the border as "Winterkit", and not Winterpaw, as she now called herself. As he turned his attention to her, a look of puzzlement arose on his facial features. "What could you do, huh?" Mont inquired rhetorically, cocking his head to the side as he continued to survey her in a quizzical manner. A look of enlightenment arose when an idea popped into his mind. "Winterpaw, throw a tea party for everyone," the Pinscher told her with a pleasant grin, one that quite contrasted the usual he usually adorned his lips with.


    "Don't make me give you a dumb as shit one," Scott warned in a taunting voice, staring at the dire wolf with a sharp gaze, one that was teasing. He lapped at his lips as he attempted to come up with another possible task for the male, gaze shifting away. Despite his loss for words, he continued to grin, though it was mostly to keep up appearances to those beyond him. His gaze eventually moved back to Bigby, somewhat annoyed with his height advantage. Perhaps he thought of himself as better simply because he stood at a taller height. Perhaps what he assumed was completely wrong about the male. "Well, Bigby, right? Since it's gettin' chilly out, host a bonfire when it gets dark out," Montgomery told him with a bob of his head, soon craning his neck to peer at the next to arrive. Koda was an odd one, so he presumed she would be better suited for a task that was more...militarized. "Either do a defense trainin' or a sparrin' session, Koda," the Corporal demanded his fellow high position in an amiable voice, stomping a foot on the ground for exaggeration. Upon hearing Righthook speak up, his grin turned sour and became a taut frown. He already had an assignment for him, though he would make it seem more as a joke than not, even if he was being serious about it. "I got somethin' good for you, Right. Leave and don't come back," Scott spoke in a grim tone, though soon enough the somber look dispersed and was replaced with a forced grin and laugh. "Nah, just do somethin' nice. Clean up the place. You need to do some volunteer work," he concluded with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders, honey visionaries staring at the pitiful male.


    Well, shit, he almost forgot the best person. His honey visionaries flickered to the pretty femme who had arrived moments before Righthook, whom he had almost looked over. He mentally cursed and slapped himself. How rude could he be? "Oh, Lorraine, doll, why don't you tell some stories? I know it ain't really a great task, but I think you could make some pretty damn good ones up," Scotty directed at her, giving a flash of a smirk before pricking his ears forward.

These were usually pretty interesting, although his last little game had never actually started. Oh well. Perhaps this one would be more of a hit. The fox came to a halt and glanced up at Scott. "I'll take a task, please."







  • [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px;][justify]Ooh, weekly tasks. She liked those. Sera walked over and looked at Montgomery with a rather blank gaze, before speaking. "I'll take one," was all she said, her eyelids drooping a bit from lack of sleep.

    A bonfire?
    Bigby could agree, it was getting rather cold despite being a few miles from a scorching desert. Since he owned a lighter, creating the flame wouldn't have been much of an issue and due to his sturdy, tough frame, gadering good wood wouldn't be too difficult.
    Since the weather was cooling into the season of winter, he expected that the bonfire would attract many clanmates.
    A bummer, really.
    Bigby didnt really want to meet new people, he was quite socially exhausted. Before he could exit the meeting he heard the way Montgomery spoke to Righthook. If the man wasn't going to give him a task, he might as well offer one.
    All Righty was doing was find a way to get some form of redemption.
    Couldn't Scott give him a break?
    Well maybe not, murderers didn't get breaks. Bigby knew that from experience.


    " If you want, Righthook, you can help me with the bonfire? " His suggestion came out of his maw as a sort of question. " You don't have to. I'm just asking. " The dire added, not wanting to pressure the feline into anything.

    a tea party? that would be lovely! "don't worry, sir, i'll throw the best tea party ever!" the pup announced and made her way to the kitchen as quickly as her little legs could carry her.

    golden eyes blinked away what may have been the misty precursor to tears, and looked at bigby with ears pressed flat to his head. a stiff nod escaped the tom and he murmured quietly, nervousness fading slightly in the presence of the other.

  • [justify][fancypost borderwidth=0px]Montgomery's features turned a bit sour as Bigby turned to speak to Righthook. A frown made its way to his maw as he gave an obvious, and obnoxious roll of his eyes. "Bigby, I gave him a fuckin' task so you can just get lost. Ya must be deaf or somethin', but I thought I was speakin' pretty damn clearly," Scott addressed the male in a rather bitter tone, ears pricking forward as he stared at the direwolf. While he was extremely tall and had some height to him, he was not at all intimidated. He didn't understand why the male had seemed to take such a liking to Righthook. He was pathetic, pitiful, and a murderer, someone who couldn't control his actions. He might have been under the control of another, but he was still responsible for his actions and crimes. When he noticed the male nearly begin crying, he gave a harsh sigh through his nose, irritated. He would have said something if not for Bones' and Seraphina's approach to the scene. His honey gaze flickered to the duo, and while he still bore a frown, it was less prominent than before. The look in his eyes seemed to soften as well, though it was quite clear he was still irate. "Bones, why don't you hold a herb trainin'? Take some of the load off of Ben," the Corporal ordered the medic, standing a bit straighter as he peered at the other male. It was convenient that the many who had joined recently were knowledgeable in the art of medicine. Benjamin wouldn't have to feel as though everything was his fault, and perhaps it would aid in his recovery. After a moment of thinking to himself, he craned his neck to peer at Sera, frown finally dispersed. "Make some gift baskets for our allies, Seraphina. I bet they'll appreciate it." Mont gave a smirk to the femme at her given assignment. It was simple enough, as well as facile, but it was effective and would hopefully aid them in forming stronger bonds with their allies.

    Scott's retortion absolutely did not comply with Bigby.
    The corporal's words was a lighter that sparked a flame of irritability and anger in his chest, and the fire was burning too strongly. His lips curl back to expose rows of monstrous teeth and before the brute could spit right back, and pick at the wound, Mont turned to adress Bones. That change of topic was what made Bigby realize his fury. He let his lips drop while he let out a long sigh, turning away from the HP.
    He couldn't snap at the man. Especially not a corporal.
    He had to learn to control his tongue, especially towards figures of authority.
    Snow's words echoed in his head


    You would've just made it worse.


    The brute jerked his head up. Why was he thinking about Snow? She was a distant memory, although she was wise and knew exactly how to control the brute, she was long gone. Turning around and stomping away from Scott, Bigby turned his head around and raised a paw to beckon Righthook over.
    "C'mon. You shouldn't stick around here." He said sharply, pupils darting over to Scott and back at the feline. He was trying to say that Righty should stay away from Scott without actually mentioning it to avoid any set of unwanted confrontation.

    He completely ignored Bigby as the male began to seethe with rage and instead turned to peer down at Dante. "Just barely made it, buddy," Scotty addressed the other Doberman with a shit-eating grin, head tipping toward him to acknowledge him further. He peered at him for a moment, attempting to conjure one last task. He supposed the last would have to "go out in a bang", which would attract a decent amount of attention. Montgomery could only assume so, at the very least. He wracked his brain for ideas, but no clear one arose. With a stiff sigh through his nostrils, he continued to observe the male before him, lips now pursed. "How 'bout you get some fireworks and light 'em up at night? It'd be pretty fuckin' cool," the Lieutenant suggested with another tilt of his head, ears pricking forward. His tone was questioning, but it also held much confidence and assurance.


  • [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; padding: 60px; margin-top: -50px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;]So that didn't seem pretty safe for a guy who knew nothing about fireworks and how to light them up without any problems. But hey, he wasn't about being safe. He was about fun. So of course he eagerly nodded. "Y'got it." Maybe there were some instruction manuals to read about fireworks.
