It had been a hot minute since they had done a raid. Now that the pack had grown, perhaps they'd have a bit better of a chance. Maybe. She didn't know, nor did she care. She had a target in mind already, and she figured enough time had passed for them to settle in, so why not pay them a friendly little visit? She made her way to the a large room in the Gorge, away from the summer heat so that the gathered wouldn't have to sit out under the sun and be uncomfortable and stuff. Her claws tapped on the stone ground in thought for a moment as she considered things. Mm...yep. She was set on the target, so now was a matter of informing the pack and getting the troupe ready to go! Tilting her head back, she called for those who wished to participate! Seating herself with her tail thumping the ground in excitement and anticipation as she waited for them to arrive! Ooc// Replies due by 10/19! "Speech"

The woman had been doing maintenance on her armor, polishing and sharpening the points. Enyo was deep in her work when she heard the howl from Medusa. Enyo sighed softly as she began to pick up her tools. Grabbing the rags and polish and putting them away carefully before setting her daedric armor on the rack it was stored.

Besides, it didn't sound like she had too much of a choice anyway.

Enyo would arrive on to where Medusa sat, her blue eyes looking at the Insomnia Queen with interest. Others began to arrive too as she did. Everyone sat and waited, talking amongst themselves.

Battery found it rather simple settling into a normal life in a normal pack with normal food, he'd even begun to gain some weight as fat and muscle filled out his otherwise bony frame. Eating nothing but mushrooms had kept him alive, but only barely, however he was looking less and less like a skeleton these days with the proper proteins.

He was doing his best to integrate himself into whatever was happening, so when he heard Medusa's call summoning them to the gorge, Battery wasted no time in getting there. He wasn't the first though, but was that important? He'd never done this before, but since he didn't appear to be late, maybe he made good time?

His tail wagged as he greeted Medusa, still a puppy mentally in many ways, and submissively licked at her jaw before finding a place to sit nearby.

Mother was calling them! The skeletal marked boy wasted no time in ditching his project and immediately making his way to the Gorge. It was nice to escape the goddamn heat, and when he arrived, others were already starting to gather. Bi-colored gaze finding yet another long lost brother! Battery had returned to them some time ago, and shortly before him, Grim had returned, too! He made his way over to his brother, roughly bumping his shoulder as he gave him a crooked cheshire grin. "Ripper is happy Batty is back! Grim too!" He exclaimed, almost forgetting why they were being called. "Ripper||"Menace"

Lukina examined the green elder ointment she'd made, making sure it was set before she sealed the tin and stored it away in her personal stores. With the abundance of summer herbs she divided her tinctures, ointments, and teas between the pack stores and her own. Seeking to have additional backups should they be needed.

She was just cleaning up when she heard Medusa call together fighters for a raid. While her predominant place was that of a healer she was curious to join in the raid and maybe socialize a bit more with the packs other members. Lu had a tendency to stick to herself and this was a good opportunity to break out of her shell a bit. She packed the rest of her items away then brought out her armor and weaponry. Calling to her companions she headed for the meeting spot.

She arrived to find a few wolves already gathered and she dipped her head in greeting to Medusa before settling down to listen.

Redrum could barely contain the excitement that surged through him like wildfire at his mothers call. His crimson frame twitched with energy, golden eyes gleaming as he arrived at the gathering. He gave his mother a wide grin, the kind that tugged his lips back to reveal his sharp teeth. An eager expression for him, rare and not often displayed. He strode forward, the young brute greeting his brothers with a firm bump to their shoulders.

He spotted Lukina next, the older woman who he’d once aided in escaping a particularly monstrous bear. He gave her a nod, eyes flashing with recognition.

Then, there was Enyo. His gaze steadied as it landed on her, intense yet unreadable. His muscles tensed, and his tail flicked once behind him. With a subtle twitch in his jaw, he moved to take his place near the front, before his mother. His heart raced, anticipation tightening his chest, but Redrum stood tall, ready, his excitement barely contained.

Days pass without Wade noticing or even really caring as the teenager lost himself in the deep caves of Insomnia. Okay, not really lost himself, just traveled as far into the cave systems as he could go and pretend to be lost. Food always guided him out and the coolness of the earthen holes was great for the extremely hot days that seem to be nonstop lately. However, for all his hiding, there is one thing the boy cannot ignore.

A call rings through the tunnels, alerting the wolves of Insomnia to an upcoming raid and Wade is quick to answer. Too large paws carry him swiftly to the room where Medusa waits and the teenagers oddly angled body slips into the growing crowd about as sneakily as an elephant with bells on would. He is Ignis’s son and the thought of blood sends a terrifyingly, exciting thrill through his body and his white eyes shine with bloodlust as he seats himself and waits to hear where they are going.

bast filled him in long before he showed face-, a meeting took place and already a few were gathered. he would change his course with ease, leaving his usual routine of patrol to meet up with the queen. as he finally showed up, many familiar faces came into view. his hardened gaze landing on enyo first as he mentally checked in with her before glancing at red, then medusa. slowly, he'd come to seat himself nearer to medusa just across from Redrum. his ears attentive and swiveling as he greeted medusa then. "Medusa."

The heatwave that has gripped Boreas seems to have no end of sight and, as the days drag on, Enki found himself hiding away from the sun more and more. His pale pink skin does not like the harsh rays so he had decided to stay in his shared cave with Tazzy to avoid getting sunburned. However, when the call for a raid rings through the cave system, of course the Daemon is going to answer.

Taking a moment to slather on some homemade sunscreen that his boyfriend had whipped up for him, he then dons his late father’s armor and heads to the meeting. Several have already gathered as Enki slips in, finding a spot near the back of the group where he seats himself and scans the wolves that have appeared.

Nodding approvingly to himself, he then turns attention to Medusa and offers the woman an excited smile, showing that heis ready to go.


"Speech" ─ Think

The call for a raid was in the air, and although she wasn't much of a fighter, she would do what she could to support her pack. Putting away the remainder of her herb stock that she had collected for the day, she rose and made her way to the meeting with companions in tow. The Insomnian Beta briskly trotted toward the group, arriving to find that the raiding party had already arrived before her. She was a bit late, but Medusa hadn't yet announced the target nor the details of what they were going for so she considered herself on time. Crimson gaze scanned the group, noting that Grim had not returned from his trip...did that mean he hadn't succeeded in scouting Medusa's target without getting caught? A frown tugged at her features, but she was sure that her younger sibling would be fine...as strange as he was, he had faced worse when he had been out there on his own for some time. Taking a seat near the front, she turned her gaze up to Medusa, waiting to hear the details. "Speak"

He didn't miss the call for a raid. He almost considered not going, and instead letting the others partake if only for the experience. But he was curious as to who the target might be, and so he decided he'd attend the meeting at least...and then decide if he would go based on who they were going to raid. The battle-torn warrior made his way there, geared up and ready should he decide to participate. When he arrived, he noticed Wade was there, and he sighed. Well, that was definitely going to solidify a reason to go...Wade had never raided before, and he doubted the others of his had either. Though he couldn't be sure...sitting near the back, he watched the others with guarded interest. He noted the change in Medusa's scent, a smell all too familiar to him, of course. He was curious who the father was this time, but that was all. He had no interest in her, after all, she had already pulled the wool over his eyes once. Never again. At least this would give him a chance to see how his latest brood would fare in a fight.

"Speech"

She waited for them to gather, and while she waited, she also kept an eye and ear out for Seymour. The vulture was to follow Grim, and return with him after their little scouting mission. As she watched the skies, she kept one ear toward those gathering, her nose picking up the scents of those that arrived one by one. She squinted when she spotted movement on the horizon, and she quickly realized that it was Seymour. Her gaze turned to the ground, waiting to find Grim's familiar, shadowy form. But...all she saw was a whole lotta nothing! Within a few short minutes, Seymour had landed next to her, whispering into hear that Grim had been found and caught. Frowning, Medusa turned to face the others as they continued to gather, her gaze finding Erebos as he greeted her. While she worried for her child, she had to believe that he would be able to handle himself. They would come for him as quickly as possible, of course, but she couldn't abandon this to go save his hide just yet. Her tics began the more she thought about it, and so she did her best to force them to go away with a shake of her head before addressing the group. "Grim has been caught. Medusa sent him with Seymour to scout the pack Medusa wants to raid, and now The Syndicate has Grim. Medusa feels that he will be fine, and Insomnia will go get him later." She fell silent for a moment as she gauged their reactions, though like she said, she figured he'd be fine. Grim was...well...Grim. Maybe the Syndicate would change their minds sooner or later and let him go, or maybe they wouldn't, either way, she planned on getting him in due time if he didn't manage to get out himself. "Seymour also said they have special lookin' sheep! Medusa has been wanting to start a herd of sheep, so we are going to try and get some of theirs! Can Insomnia start with wild sheep? Suuure! But why start that way, when there are ones already tamed? Yes, that is what we are going for. Water too if Insomnia is thirsty, it is not as hot there as it has been here...they have more water, cold water, she is sure." Okay, now that that was out of the way... She turned her attention to Ripper. "Medusa thinks Ripper should stay behind, help protect the ones not going. He will get to lead the next one, mkay?" She felt bad making him stay behind, but considering Ripper and...well...majority of her kids had lack of impulse control, she was sure Ripper would try something because of Grim since the pair were so close. No, she couldn't risk him doing something dumb. But ah, she should probably let them know a little bit about the target pack first, no? "Medusa knows a bit about the Syndicate. They have many wolves, and are not uh, nice. Says castletown, but Medusa likes 'em anyway. Still, Medusa wants everyone to do their best, and fight as fiercely as they do!" She nodded to herself. Yep. Match their energy. Though she had no doubt that most of her wolves were keen on doing that should they feel like it. "Okay, go get ready! We leave toniiight~" "Speech"
