_______________________________________________
Hello one and all, I'm Ana... your cute, cuddly, and somewhat depraved, homegrown soupdragon! Thought it was about time I sent out a few hyphae (mmm... mould). I'm so eager for plots, I'm basically champing at the bit and to be honest- I seriously hate doing these sorts of things, just makes me feel like I'm being unnecessarily needy / demanding so I'm hoping that I'm not coming across like that? 0-0
DISCLAIMER: Characters tend to do what they will wherever I put them. Like the Genie from Aladdin, I can't make them fall in love... if it isn't right, it isn't right- that isn't to say that I'm not willing to see how it goes and all that, but... I can't force them to do anything. They bully me... so-- I fully expect to come out of this bruised and battered. I apologize in advance, for the madness.
[presto]

Hey Soupy, hey Thundy! <3 I'm going to throw Maggot at you guys, if that's okay. He's a border collie retromorph, also the High Predator of the Nilda Pack. He's extremely loyal, and just a sweetheart. A deep thinker as well. I think it would be cool if he got to meet Bennett and Alexia. (I've been stalking their threads, lol.) I have an idea for the plot too, if you two want to hear it. c:
Heya Gia! That sounds great to me :3 I'd be really interested to hear about your plot idea :D Ben may be infamous for being a wee bit... stoic? A bit difficult to engage in conversation at times, but I think he'd have respect for Maggot, even quietly. He's not the sort to really want to engage others in conversation. I think they'd get along in their own funny little way!
I'm really intrigued |: -grabby hands-

Haha, Now that you said that, I totally agree, they could have their own way of getting along. xD Quietly and with few words, they could probably become good aquaintances. I read Bennett's personality thing, and saw that he dislikes being close to others, so I dunno if they'd become friends or not. But for the plot, I could imagine Bennett, Alexia, or Maggot getting themselves into a fight with a "pretend" chara, and the other two jumping in to lend a paw and defeat the evil-doer! (I think too much...) But yeah, that was pretty much my idea. If you guys have something good, do tell!! n____n
The 'not wanting to be close to others' thing is just simply not wanting to get too emotionally attached, because it results more often than not in him getting hurt. He's apprehensive about it, is all. Once he's formed those emotional attachments, he's loyal and unwavering to a fault-- so... I guess its just a protective mechanism. LOL That sounds like a good place to start! Ben tends to end up being the 'big brother' figure to most, I guess. We could have them go on a hunt or something, that might be a good one... hmm.
ohh, i see what you're saying. sorry for the late reply, by the way. Bennett is so cute. <3 and yeah, that could work. Maggs, Ben, and Alexia all going out for a hunt. cool beans! c:
Well, I don't have any Nilda, but I do have an Analoya :3 She's a Siamese cat and she thinks she can see into the future. maybe Elise and Bennett could meet? I dunno what would happen if they did, but it could be funny lol.
I also have Didi in the Fulsi, my white peacock shifter. He's a drag queen and loves messing with people's minds. Again, not really sure about any plots, but I'm open to ideas if you have any :)
So we're talking about Naj/Bennett meeting up. Perhaps he'd like to accompany her over to the Lawaii mountain range? She's been wanting to check it out, and now that they can pass through the Analoya territory with relative safety, it's definitely on the top of her list. Mebbe they can meet some trouble, or it'll just be a nice walk/talk. x3
As for Fitch, Tonjes is my newest and a Rogue. She's been pilfering off the Fulsi for a little while now, catching prey that's technically the Fulsi's and digging up some of Ira's poor garden farm. Maybe Fitch can catch her at it and try to catch her, if only to give her a warning? She'd run at the sight of him (more out of fear of him than a fear of the Fulsi) but she's got a bad limp and so I imagine that he'd be able to catch her. She doesn't shift (its painful with the fractured hip and all) but the shiftertongue should break a language barrier if he can corner her somehow x3?

thank you mou!
So I have Yara. I like never use her, but she's a Nilda like Ben. I didn't expect to have any plot ideas for these two pop up (mostly because my muse for her is kind of sparing xD) BUT I totally gots an idea.
Yara is very much like Ben. She tends to stray away from the crowd, but mostly because she does not like to burden them with her company. However, she craves company as she can't help but almost constantly feel lonely. Yara happens to be crippled from an incident that happened before she was captured. She lived on the streets, and was hit by a car. However, she was saved by some homeless man and she is not bitter from the accident. Quite the opposite, actually. It taught her about true kindness and love. Still, her leg is twisted inwards and she limps as the bone was never set properly. She finds being in the M a blessing as it saved her from the streets.
What Yara really needs is a friend. I think that these two share some common interests, and perhaps they can grow quite close. Maybe she can even come to view him as a father figure.
Aw! That sounds so lovely! Bless her heart. I'm sure Ben'd warm to her pretty quick despite his normally gruff, coolness. They would compliment each other really nicely, I think :3 I think he's turning into a bit of a father/brother figure for quite a few characters which is, oddly... fitting him quite nicely :)
In summary... I really like this. |: LMAO!

Soooo, I have 12 characters you can choose from - 8| - but like I said, Riley, Lycaon, and Roman are the ones in primary need of threads. Jace and Sain would be a close second, but I could go with any of them. XD If there's that you "ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE" just lemme know.
That said, maybe Fitch and Lycaon? Noxx and I are working on an Fulsi/Nakoma alliance, and maybe Fitch and Lycaon are some of first to put it into practice? It could be one of those routine things that goes horribly wrong, but they're both steady enough to work together to get out of it. Eli and Riley could also be fun, I don't think she'd have much patience for his shy, nervous pacifism, but she might be pleasantly surprised if he snarks at her. xDDDD
I will creep your open thread, then, and check it out. >3
The only thing Lycaon might have trouble with is the "not-pack" aspect. But since Fitch doesn't have a predator shift, that would make it a bit easier. ......Although shifting and running might be a bad idea, because then his instincts immediately go CHASE. XD
He does okay with the "prey" in Nakoma cause they're pack, but he doesn't feel that drive to protect outsiders. He can control himself, obviously, but if he gets taken by surprise, well.... x'D
