"Well, our Clan is auto-acceptance, so no matter what you would have been allowed in- you don't need to thank us for it!!" chirpd the golden retriever, his tail thumping against the floor in happiness. This guy seemed nice and polite, and with the addition of... particularly salty members of the Clan, it was quite refreshing. "Would you like a tour, Halo?"


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Mack was practicing combat? Oh, that was not something he saw every day. Of course, his motion was but a blur when he zoomed toward the other, examining the way in which his co-deputy groomed himself after so effortlessly puncturing the branch. "That was quite impressive, Mack!" Barry chirped in his usual vociferous manner, clapping his paws togethier. "We should spar, sometime. It would be awesome! I'd totally beat you though," commented the canine, his slight arrogance shining through in that last addition to his statement.

He was running so quickly that the deep snow was too much for his momentum, and he ended up falling flat on his face. Luckily, he didn't get a bloody nose as he sometimes did when he fell over, because of the snow. The canine brushed himself off and stood, padding up next to Misty, acting as if the 'accident' hadn't even happened. "Oh, I can help if you want!"

    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Barry was really not a compassionate person overall, but he thought a nice thing to do for the members of his Clan who had... well, he would say 'accepted him', but it was more like the fact that they had merely put up with his, for this long. He accepted he could definitely be a bit... overbearing, but that was alright, wasn't it? A lot of people seemed to like him nevertheless, much like he liked them. "HEY, EVERYONE!!" his vociferous tone should not be an uncommon thing to hear; he had been here long enough for most to get used to the fact that he literally yelled every word he said. "I'm gonna conjure you up a surprise gift, anyone who comes! It won't be anything... massive, but hopefully it'll make you smile!"


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Misty was first to arrive, and Barry was genuinely happy to see her again, and when she brushed against him he aimed to softly touch his nose to her cheek in return, a sort of greeting. He would have kissed her, but he didn't know how she'd feel about that, so refrained from doing so, for now. He knew exactly what to conjure for her, something which she'd hopefully wear, something which came in handy. "I know exactly what to conjure for you, Misty!" he remarked, a grin curving his maw. And in a flash of light, the deputy conjured something which rested in his paw- a white, crescent-shaped feather which slowly faded into mint-green at the bottom, attached with two blue beads to a string, big enough for Misty to wear around her neck. "Azelf told me abut this- it's called a Lunar Wing, and it's supposed to have magical properties which protects you from nightmares. I..." he paused, smiling through his words, "I really hope you like it, Misty."


    Next to arrive- even though he hid himself rather well- was Spectralregalia, and even though the two really didn't get along that well, he decided that Christmas was a time for hospitality, and now was no exception. He'd noticed that Spec had been a little down lately, so hopefully- even if the young boy was irritated by Barry, slightly- he'd still like the gift. The deputy conjured a pitch-black scarf, and held it out to Spectralregalia, his citrine gaze hopeful. Why a scarf? Well, it was cold, wasn't it? And Barry wore a scarf all the time as an obect of sentimentality.


    He felt Tama was someone who had accepted him from the start, and he'd always been so happy about that. He'd always appreciated how the leader had believed in him so much to the point where he was deputy. His position was one he had possessed for a very long time, now, but... he still found it hard to process that someone like him had been worthy, in her eyes. The servaline was so kind, and hardly deserved any violence that came her way- he'd heard of the fact she'd had one of her wings torn out of her body, and frankly, that sickened him, sickened him to the point that, he wanted to actively hunt down whoever had had the nerve to do that to someone so kind-spirited. Though, the perpetrator was most likely long-gone, by now. As for her present? Well, Tama seemed to like all colours, so he had no doubt about the colour- red, though it was percieved as an angry colour sometimes, he considered it one of warmth, since his mother's favourite colour had been red. Conjured out of nothingness and rested in his paw was a single, clip-on earring with a red, tear-shaped gem; similar to the one that Barry himself possessed, embedded on his forehead; hanging from the bottom of it. "Um, it's not much, but... hopefully it'll make you think of me and Azelf?" he suggested, admittedly a little nervous- though, Tama was not judgemental at all, he knew that- but he still had a sense of nervousness, for whatever reason.


    && mISTY HAD TO HAVE A POKEMON THEMED THING I'M SORRY
    spec has like no accessories so i though this could be a fun little addition to his look?
    i saw the earring in Tama's faceclaim and i was just like oMG THIS IS PERFECT


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Oh, Lord, what should he get Killua? The assassin was not an individual that Barry was particularly close to- it seemed no-one knew him that well, or at least, no-one knew the kind of things that he liked. But... when in doubt, what was the thing that everyone liked? There had to be some kind of gift, that Barry could give Killua. Sweets, maybe? It was a rarity that people didn't like sweets, so, in yet another flash of light, rested in Barry's paws was a bag filled to the brim with candy canes. They were seasonally appropriate, no? "Uhh... sorry if it's not the kind of thing you would want, Killua." he murmured. This was... a lot more nerves racking than he'd originally thought.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]"Hey, I'm the only one of my... sub-species!!" Barry snapped, his short temper clearly shining through in this statement. The golden retriever was, in fact, the only golden retriever in BlizzardClan as far as he knew, but there were... other domestic canines. The deputy had seemingly appeared out of nowhere when his loud voice had cleaved the air, because he had run so fast, and skidded to a halt beside Killua, his citrine gaze blazing bright with enthusiasm, upon meeting this new individual. "Hi!! I'm Barry!" he chirped, smiling as usual.


    && heyo, welcome! i'm touko :3
    your writing style is fckign amazing


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Barry, in fact, did not like candy all too much. The only sweet thing of which he liked was cookies, and he doubted Sweet had any, but he stayed hopeful. The deputy rushed over, intrigued, almost toppling when he skidded to a sudden halt beside Lotusfall, whom he had arrived shortly after. Raising a curious, nonexistent eyebrow, Barry bit his lip slightly, and said, "Uhm, I'll pass on the candy... unless, you have cookies?" he asked, hopefully. It had been Wisteriagarden who had first introduced him to cookies, and he'd been addicted to them ever since.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]He guessed, perhaps, they hadn't been as nice to her as they thought. Or maybe, as she stated in the note, poor Bear didn't feel as if she fit in. As Kamari had thought, Barry supposed BlizzardClan wasn't meant for everyone. People came and went, and by now the deputy had learnt to accept it- sure, it still hurt sometimes, but at least it didn't plunge him into depression. "Ah, it's a bit of a shame, isn't it? All we can do is hope she found a great new home." the golden retriever sighed, tilting his head slightly.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]As Misty swept him into an embrace, he returned the hug. "Oh, I'm so glad you like it! Picking the right gifts for people is actually quite hard, you'd be surprised!!" he chimed, blushing under his fur. Thank God for fur, if he were still a human this was guaranteed to get a little more embarrassing. He was still getting used to beig in a relationship again, but he was definitely happy with her.


    He parted with Misty when the familiar voice of Mei broke the silent air, and he pivoted towards the bear, a grin still placed across his maw. "Hey, Mei! Don't apologize! I'm not expecting anything in return," chimed Barry, aiming to place a paw on her shoulder to reassure her. Ah, she must feel a lot more pressured than him, so... what could he give her, to make her feel more... well, reassured? In a flash of light, rested in the golden retriever's paw was an ice-blue, beaded bracelet, and he held it out to the other; "Um, here! Do you like it?"


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]It had been a little while since a proper visit. The BlizzardClan deputy had decided to set himself a sort of schedule, so he would be more organised with his ambassador visits- he was going to try and visit regularly, and had decided to elaborate on that to the ColouredClanners. The golden retriever had made a less noisy entrance than usual, his amber optics wide and bright. It was quite early, so perhaps some were sleeping- so he wasn't completely oblivious to that. Barry said, in a more hushed voice than usual, placing his gift basket on the floor. "Uhh... hey guys! I have christmas cookies... and a bit of news about my visits."


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]Of course it was cold- their Clan name was 'BlizzardClan', after all, so the climate should be sort of obvious. Ah, well- not everyone knew everything in vivid detail. He sprinted over to the other, his citrine gaze welcoming and friendly as he looked happily upon the ColouredClanner. "Aah, sounds like great fun! BlizzardClan will definitely be attending," informed the deputy, recalling that he could in fact accept invitations to events, with his position.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]"Hey, Nighttales! How are you, and the rest of ColouredClan for that matter?" the canine chimed, a grin adorning his maw, his topaz gaze bright and excited. "Oh, and for you guys that don't know, my name's Barry, and I'm one of the deputies in BlizzardClan!" he decided to introduce himself to the others whom he did not recognise. "I've decided that I'm gonna visit you guys every Friday, and I'll bring gifts every time! Sometimes, I may even bring another BlizzardClanner, or plan events with you guys!" the golden retriever smiled, his vociferous tone present in his voice, as always.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]aaAahH cool!
    you too! i hope you get great presents <3


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]It didn't look as if Misty had arrived yet, to hear her promotion, but once she did arrive Barry would be certain to let her know how well she was doing. He expected her to choose Paladin- that was the rank that a lot of people stepped up to, though perhaps he was hoping she might follow the same path as he had, to be a combatant? He'd very much enjoyed his time as a combatant, and then head combatant. Those times were bittersweet, though he loved them for the most part. Though, he had thought being head combatant was difficult, and now he was the deputy, which was even more difficult- not overwhelmingly hard, but still... he had a lot of responsibilities. "Hey, congrats everyone! Thanks for the mention, Tama, and I'll make sure to work to get one of those titles!!" he called, his loud voice cleaving the air as always. He'd also take a mental note to welcome newcomers in particular, as that had been a problem that the servaline had pointed out in particular.


    [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 400px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px;]I WANNA KNOW THE ANSWERS, NO MORE LIES[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 400px; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-spacing: 1px;][justify]"I said sub-species, Killua! I know I'm not the only dog here but I am the only golden retriever!" he snapped again, scoffing. Perhaps Killua just.... hadn't understood what he had meant, by sub-species, though Barry was too riled up to rationalise this at the moment. He then pivoted back toward Gon- he had a pretty weird name, but the canine didn't comment on it. Azelf, the being that inhabited the gem that rested upon the deputy's head, also had a rather otherwordly alias. "Um, welcome, then, Gon! If you need any help settling in, I would be happy to come to your assistance!"
