Posts by NORTH,

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] NORTH can see why the clans have so many problems. With how many people these places have, it's easy for them all to get caught up in one web or another, and then it's like ripples in a pond. It doesn't excuse them from what happens, though, and he doesn't know what's happening to Kate, but either way, someone so young shouldn't be wrapped up in worrying about people liking her or if she's a burden. She has a childhood to get to. "I'd like that," the serval says, smiling again. He wouldn't mind if she were to visit; it would be stupid to. It's not as though North minds children. "It'll be like a mini adventure, huh?"
He knows most of the territory by now, because he's walked it so much, but places look different when there's company. Good company. "Alright, which way do you want to head first?"

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] THE others start to file in, and North looks over them with a greeting nod, but most of his attention is still on the large canine. He seems surprised by Kate's name. Not just that, though. It's almost like he's remembering something, or that it's a reminder. "Kate's a common name." He thinks it is, anyway, but he doesn't mention the way Arkham's smile looks like play-doh left to dry out, for lack of a better metaphor. "Play-doh? Really?" Other than terrible similes, his mind's still working on guessing what has him tied up about Kate. He doesn't expect to get any answers, especially when he's not going to ask any questions. "Yep. I have a South to match. She's around here somewhere; you'll know her when you see her." He hasn't seen her in a while but after what happened, he's giving her distance. It's what she wants, isn't it?
North goes quiet when the others start chiming in, and he's glad they're all keeping up with this. Arkham looks like he could use a few good welcomes. "Maybe a hug or two. But not from a stranger." Sometimes he wonders if people would want him around still, if they knew what he's always thinking about. They're not really lost lambs or children; they're just...young, and North not so much. He can't help it. "Well if you do turn out needing something, you know what to do. And you don't have to thank us; you're one of the gang now." "Gang? Christ."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] "SURE thing, k-Kate." The little stumble there probably won't be noticeable. North almost called her kiddo, and he does that to people who are older than she is, so it wouldn't matter, but it's a habit he should probably break now. It'll be hard to do though. "Hm. How does making some ornaments sound?" It's not strenuous- that isn't too lame, is it? He knows Kate will be gracious either way, but he doesn't want to give her something she won't enjoy. That goes for all of them.
"Hey, Doc." He sends his smile the medic's way. "Can I tell him to sleep? No, probably not. Damn." What would be good for him, other than that? He doesn't want to go for the obvious and saddle him down with something related to medicine. North assumes he gets enough of that on a regular basis. Something for a person with steady paws and a desire to help. "You want to help me make snow globes to pass out to our allies? 'Christmas in DarkClan', that sort of thing." He hopes that's not boring either, and he keeps his gaze on the canine for a second, when he asks after Kate, but he has other people who are wanting tasks now.
"Of course, Lorraine." Now he has to think of something for her. North won't give her anything medicinal related, either. This is harder than he expected it to be, trying to find tasks that won't bore the hell out of them. Maybe she wouldn't say that, but still, he doesn't want her to have to pretend she likes it, either. "Keeping with the Christmas theme, I think we could use a few gingerbread houses around. I'm sure you'll get a couple people wanting to chip in." Those aren't so bad. "I should have let someone else do this." "You feeling okay?" She looks a little sniffly, but it is that season. Maybe it's just a cold.
"Moth, how would you like to make some wreaths? Those can go here and to our allies." He's giving a lot of building tasks. There aren't too many though, are there? North has to consider both the people who will be setting these up and if they'll have a turnout to pitch in, because none of them will be any fun regardless if nobody else wants to help. Maybe he'll deviate from the Christmas-y theme just once. Bigby probably wouldn't want to make snow angels. Or would he?
"Dunno if it's what you're looking for, but you could go pie a couple people. Make it four people, either enemies or one of us." North grins. He would have assigned Bigby a snowball war, but he's going to save that one. For who, the serval doesn't know. Not yet. "Northy? That's a new one." "If you want something else, just let me know." He notices Scott, when the canine makes his gradual way over, and he doesn't miss the way he looks at Bigby.
"Scott, you ever gone sledding? I think a race or something might be fun." He's not going ot give him anything that demands too much, but he won't baby him either, so sledding falls somewhere in between that. Again, he just hopes it works out without anyone getting bored.
"Koda." She'll do good with the snowball war, he thinks. "Build a couple snow forts, and from there, you can split people into teams or just have a free-for-all. Maybe dye the snow so we know who's been hit." Or she can do something different with it. North's just making suggestions here.
"Huh. You know what would be pretty cool, Oprah? Story time. You could read some of the kids the classics." That's a nice evening to plan, isn't it? Or maybe there won't be enough children. He's noticed they don't have too many around.

/oooh this is interesting
sorry i couldn't match!

THERE are many things in this world that are completely *ed up. With Kate, her own people hurt her, people who were supposed to be her friends. North was nearly killed by his own sister because- he doesn't know why, actually. She didn't say, and there's a lot between them that needs to be discussed, but he's already forgiven her for all of it. Does that fall under one of the things that are completely *ed up? North doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. Ignorance is bliss, and the dose of truth isn't going anywhere in the meantime. The point is, the world spins on, and with it goes everything else: the good, the bad, the pretty, the ugly. All of it.
North's found a lot of the people caught in the crossfire of the bad and the ugly. They have people with scars and missing limbs, and people with a bone-deep exhaustion. He doesn't think anyone has really escaped the fire unscathed, and North's caused a few flames himself, with some of the things he's done, but wallowing about it won't fix anything. If he does some good here, he'll be...better, simply put.
Doing good means helping the people here, however he can. It's what comes to mind first when he sees the canine, after following the sharp bark. "Jesus, what happened here?" North is wary, but it's not the face that he shows the stranger, smiling warmly instead. He doesn't seem like he's seen many of those. "Hey, is there anything I can do for you? I'm North, by the way, and this is DarkClan, if you didn't know already."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] THE hug comes as a welcome surprise, but he doesn't have time to return it before Kate is scampering off. "Well, at least she's excited." He'll have to check in on her work later. Right now, he still has tasks to hand out, and he nods to Oprah when she confirms that she's heard him. This is going good so far, isn't it? He hopes so. The serval turns his head toward Dante when the canine arrives, and he does his best to think of something that he might like doing.
"Dante, ever heard of Krampus? I think a few enemies of ours might need a visit. You can interpret that however you want."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] "KATE's making us some ornaments." Smiling at the canine, North limps closer to the trio. He doesn't recognize one of the people there, a Savannah he hasn't met before, but he's sure he'll get to know the scarred DarkClanner soon enough. For now, North's focus is on the activity at hand, and he moves even closer, looking over all the glitter and the paint, and the blocks of wood laying around.
"She really went all out, didn't she?" That's good; he's glad she's had fun with this, especially after all that she's gone through. If this gives her something to keep busy with, then he's even happier. "These are looking great. Hey, do those- are our names on those?"

NORTH doesn't have the moral high ground either. He's not a paragon of goodness, and he's far from reaching sainthood. There are things he's done that he's not proud of, and that goes for most people, so he's not abnormal there, but as much as he dislikes what he's done, he hasn't figured out yet if he regrets it. The things he did made a niche for North and South, and he did his best to protect her during that time, which is something he will never, ever regret doing, eve when he's had to kill other people for it. He doesn't live in a black and white world. Most of it's in tones of gray, except where South is involved.
But with what's happened between them, he hasn't seen her around often. He thinks she wants space. It makes sense, but despite the friends he's made here he's lonely. North shouldn't feel alone when he's not, but he can't help it; he's had her around all of his life, and this is the longest they've been apart. He doesn't like it, and it's why he's out walking the border, finding something to distract himself and keep busy. Finding a trespassing cheetah isn't what he thought would be keeping him busy though.
"Hey, buddy," the serval starts, and he pauses, seeing the feline's face. "He looks...lost." "The border's back there, but you look distracted. This is DarkClan, and I'm North. You need anything or you just passing through?"

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] "WOW. All day, huh? That's pretty dedicated." The serval smiles again at the smaller canine. All day? She's been busy, obviously, and he glances at the others here briefly. He's looking forward to seeing what they get up to with the Christmas spirit, but something tells him neither of them are on Kate's level of holiday cheer. Not because they're incapable, but they both look a little lost among all the ornaments. "It won't take them long to find their way, especially with Kate at work." North returns his full focus to Kate, whose glitter-covered paws rummage through the pile to extract two small ornaments. As soon as he sees what they resemble -or who- his entire expression softens even more than it already has, and he reaches out, not for the ornaments but to pull the Pomeranian into a gentle hug.
"I love it, Kate; it's perfect." He'll have to find a place to put it later. "Thank you. You really outdid yourself with this one."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] OH, North remembers him. The blindfold's hard to forget. He considers what he could have the younger feline do, and with his blindfold, he's assuming it shouldn't be too heavily based on sight for obvious reasons. "This is a lot harder than I thought it would be." North is trying to compensate for all the different personalities here, and the different abilities, but he's not sure if he's hitting the target for each of them, which rankles him. "What do you think about trust exercises?" He thinks this place could use some practice with teamwork.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville] WITHOUT Ben, they're down a medic and they're down a good kid. North doesn't think they can afford either of those, and thinking of him missing out there, taken by some bastard, it gets the serval's blood boiling. He keeps it down, though. He won't lose his head because that won't help them get Ben back. It doesn't sound like there's a concrete way to find him, though. Asking clans won't yield the most honest results if they're all in on it, but they have a way around that. Limping to stand beside Koda, his expression is the most serious and stony it's been since he's lived here. "I don't know if we can trust their word." North glances around the area with a frown. How much of what they're saying can be heard by any straying concentrations? "Will you send people in to really check? Discreetly? Or are you going to personally handle the checking?" Those powers do come in handy.
Whoever has him, they better not have harmed Ben. They won't need to regret doing even more than they already have; it'll be even less pretty.

/yay ben's back! sorry, this is a rushed post :c

OF course they don't even find Ben themselves. They gave it an organized effort but out here, North knows it's not so easy to find people when they go missing, since there are just so many places for them to be taken. He looks awful, but he's not dead, and right now that's all that matters, so the serval rushes forward toward the canine rocking back and forth, trembling and shaking and sobbing. If he could only find who did this, he'd show them - He would show them what happens when they * with the wrong people, but he can't go on a murderous hunt when he has to get Benjamin. He's what matters most right now.
"Ben," North starts, limping closer to the whimpering canine, and his heart lurches in his chest. He wraps himself around the younger DarkClanner, hoping to keep him warm until someone with medical expertise arrives to deal with the blood that slips from beneath the paws covering Ben's eyes. "It's North, Ben. Someone will be here soon, okay? You're safe now. Just take some deep breaths for me, alright?"

He moves past Bigby, who's placed himself some distance away from the other two. He knows Koda, but the reindeer is unfamiliar, or she should be; North has a gut feeling that it is Kate, and if it isn't, then he's just caused a very awkward moment. He just has to hope he hasn't been led wrong by his intuition, then. Until he finds out, there's the matter of calming the reindeer down, who's obviously distraught and confused. Koda mentions shapeshifting; is that the problem here then? North doesn't have any powers of his own, so he doesn't understand, but he can definitely try to. Especially if it's Kate.
"You feeling okay?" The serval doesn't want to barrage her with questions, but it's...An important one.

"There aren't as many kids around anymore. What were you expecting?" He bites his cheek, worrying it between his teeth. Where did Nukakit go? It seems like they're missing so many people from when he was first here. They all just disappeared. The serval pulls himself away from those thoughts to smile at Oprah, limping closer and sitting before his fellow DarkClanner.
"Which one will you be reading?"

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=Baskerville] ODDLY enough, no one's ever told him he's too kind for his own good. He thinks it's gone unspoken, because it's that obvious; his sister would make similar comments, though, but they're never berating. They stick together, he and South, and sometimes that means sticking their necks out for each other. Now, he does turn a kind face toward just about everyone he meets. It's not that he's incapable of anything else, but he's just used to...Taking care of people, if that makes sense. It's what he started out doing as a kid with his sister, and then it's spread to include people he meets.
He isn't too trusting, though. His compassion shouldn't be mistaken for foolishness in other areas. North has killed people, and as nice as he can be, there aren't many people here he actually trusts. Will they find that out? That depends.
Limping to stand at the back of the group Lorraine, Koda, Bigby, and Ruth have made, the serval keeps an eye on the stranger, but he gives the dalmation a warm smile from where he's standing. He seems like a mild person, whoever he is, though he doesn't try and say anything about Bigby's comment.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville]/just let me know if i should have cleared this with you Yakan!

WITH people getting sick, and with Ben's disappearance and then his less-than-healthy return, people could use something of a pick-me-up. North's not a hard partier, though. He likes quiet evenings with friends, but every now and then he supposes something more upbeat can't go amiss, so, making sure that his planning goes under the radar, he decides that he'll throw a little surprise. North hopes it might help; he doesn't want it to fall flat and give no kind of relief to anyone. That would definitely be a disaster.
It's hard to keep everything on the down low when he's still got a broken leg. Putting up decorations is significantly harder with a splint. North tosses tinsel up for what feels like hours, shimmying up the trees that encircle a small clearing. After that comes sneaking in tables, or any kind of stands that he can find, and he lays red and green cloths over each. His leg is throbbing loudly, but it's nothing new, although he does get some help getting food for it in the form of a hunting patrol. He tells them he'll take care of putting all the catch up. From there he has to haul it all over to the tables.
There's candy, too, because he can't not put any there. He's borrowed a radio, promising to return it without a scratch, but he doesn't turn it on yet. There's one thing he needs to do still, which is going to be the most embarrassing thing he's ever done, but what's a bit of humiliation between friends? So, he takes some temporary dye to himself, having to bleach his fur first before he can paint the white and red stripes. That he does get more help with. He has to hope they don't mention it to anyone yet, though, and he has his fellow DarkClanner paint "Pole" in red across his head.
"Someone kill me. This is a terrible idea."
No, he can do this. This is easy. North flicks on the radio, and "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" begins playing immediately.
"Alright. Time to wait.."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; width: 450px; border: 0px;][justify][color=#7c6dc8][font=baskerville]i'm just curious to know what everyone's methods are for coming up with muse for their characters! i know some people listen to music but i think it's interesting to see what kind of music people use
i tend to listen to piano covers of songs, and for north i. usually listen to "you'll be in my heart" by phil collins so if he seems like a complete sap that's why
i also watch this because it's who he's based off of and yeah

do you guys do anything else for muse?
