Running Wild

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 2:30 pm

After a run-in with Haley a large, black-blue haired dog is running through the grounds. It has a curious big braid in it's wild mane.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:13 pm

Meanwhile, just outside the dorms, Maya was out for a little bit of a walk.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:15 pm

The wolf comes around the corner of the mansion, still shaking some remains of a shattered pane of glass from it's mane. When it sees Maya it growls with it's tail between it's legs.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:17 pm

Maya's eyes widen. She's frozen in absolute terror at the sight of a freaking wolf on campus.

"Holy shit."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:23 pm

There's a hint of recognition in the wolf's eyes. Jennifer is still somewhat in control but running into Maya is only exacerbating her fear about hurting somebody. Her head swivels around, trying to find a good escape route, awkwardly walking a couple steps backwards.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:25 pm

Maya puts her hands up, "Easy, easy..."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:28 pm

The wolf nervously paces back and forth, lowering her head and letting out a low whine. Maya is making herself bigger and standing between her and the relative safety of the woods.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:29 pm

"Are you lost?" Maya asks in a shaky voice. Apparently she thinks wolves and dogs are basically the same thing.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:32 pm

Jennifer lets out a growly bark and runs in a vague circle before warking at Maya again.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:34 pm

"Umm, yeah. Sorry. I don't speak...barks," Maya says. "Do you belong to someone here? Is that...a thing? Keeping wolves."

"...That could totally be a thing here."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 3:39 pm

She takes a couple bounding steps off to the side but is herded in by some bushes and cowers behind them.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 4:04 pm

"Are you scared?" Maya asks. "I know how that is."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 4:09 pm

She warks pitifully and lies down next to the bushes.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:24 pm

Maya cautiously approaches, "Don't worry. I won't hurt you."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:28 pm

Jennifer puts her head on the ground and places her paws over her snout.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:30 pm

"Is...is that a braid?" Maya asks. "That's...odd."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:34 pm

The wolf howls faintly.

by **Narrator** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:38 pm

A more full-throated howl from the forest answers it.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:41 pm

Maya glances over at the forest.

"That's really, really unsettling." She looks back at Jennifer. "Are they with you?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:42 pm

Jennifer lifts her head and let's out a louder howl in response.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:44 pm

Another answer from the forest, and though it probably means nothing to Maya, Jen can almost recognize the source.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:45 pm

Maya lifts up her hands, keeping her voice quiet, "Maybe we could not call all the other wolves in the area? I'm not super great with animals that might want to eat me."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:52 pm

The next howl kind of dies in her throat before it can come out at that. She hadn't thought about that. That's dangerous. She doesn't want Maya to get hurt. Just Haley maybe. Her head swivels towards the woods and back to Maya and stands up, her back easily past Maya's hips. She almost seems like she's trying to stand between Maya and the direction of the howl.

by **Narrator** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:59 pm

Something does seem to be moving in the forest, but it's a ways off yet.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:02 pm

"And now the wolf is protecting me," Maya mumbles. "And understands human speech,"

"Are you, like, some kind of mutant wolf? Is that a thing?"

She might be asking questions out of pure nervousness.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:11 pm

Jennifer lets out a growly wark again, her tail swishing back and forth once.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:14 pm

Should she run? She vaguely remembered that running from wild animals was a bad idea. Besides, these might not be wild animals. She wasn't sure. She didn't know what to do.

"I wish Jen were here," Maya says quietly to herself.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:16 pm

The wolf warks again and bumps it's head into Maya's hip, trying to nudge her away from the source of the howls.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:18 pm

"Fine. I'll get out of here..." Maya says, starting to move towards the door while still keeping her eyes on the woods. "...Will you be okay?"

by **Narrator** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:18 pm

The presence in the forest does seem to be getting closer, by the sounds in the undergrowth.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:21 pm

Jennifer takes on an aggressive stance and growls at Maya, nudging her again towards the door again.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:22 pm

"Fine, fine! I'll go," Maya says. She opens the door. With only a slight hesitation and look back she disappears back into the building, heading to her room.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:23 pm

The wolf waits until the door closes before running off towards the woods.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:24 pm

What approaches, though not leaving the woods, is a rather large red wolf.

After all, Jen called.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:27 pm

Jennifer bounds into the underbrush, growling at Brigid.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:28 pm

Brigid skids to a stop and cocks her head, this being somewhat of a mixed message to her.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:35 pm

Jennifer doesn't seem interested in an actual conflict and just walks past Brigid with another growl.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:38 pm

Brigid looks Jen over to make sure she's alright, and looks in confusion at the braid. She gives it a nudge with her muzzle.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:47 pm

Jennifer snaps her jaws at Brigid but aims to miss before walking deeper into the forest.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:50 pm

Brigid, not sure exactly what she did wrong, just continues deeper into the forest with Jen.
