Sephiran wasn’t the only one enticed by the challenge. Three other wolves who appeared to be close in age to Aresenn and himself, emerged from the sidelines almost in sync with each other. A calico male was the first to make contact with the initial challenger, then a more colorful boy leaped on top of both of them. A girl, which was surprising to him, also threw herself into the fray. He and Aresenn shared a quick glance before they discarded their bottles into the sand and surged forward. Deep down, he was pleased that Aresenn joined him, because it gave him a false sense of control. As if he had forced him to engage. What grandiosity! He was a few strides behind Aresenn, who had chosen to make a circle around the pile of clashing bodies. Whatever his intentions were, Sephiran didn’t try to figure it out, because he didn’t care. He had already made a game plan up in his mind.

He honed in on the wolf who jumped on the others (Scald), lowering his head as he attempted to use his skull as a battering ram and jam it into the lankier boy’s side. Even if this made him slam into the others, given they were so close together, Sephiran wouldn’t care. He just wanted to get close enough to create an opportunity to grapple with someone... and draw some blood.

"Speech"

Alright, so maybe this wasn't the best idea considering his rising state of drunkenness. Had he known how the stuff was gonna hit him, he would've eaten first and probably drunk a little slower, but whoops! Too late for that. “Oi! Keep it down! If you wanted your butt kicked, all you had to do was ask!” His head turned to face the patchwork pirate, but he swore he saw not one, but two Jacks running at him. "I'm gonna kick your butt! How'z that!?" He retorted, but no sooner had those words come out of his mouth that Jack and Jack #2 were already too close and he stumbled as he tried to keep his feet under him, but to no avail. Diablo went down, clumsily losing his balance as his chin fell into the sand. Sputtering and spitting the gritty black sand from his teeth. Almost as soon as he tried to regain his footing, another weight would land on him, sending him sprawling further and now he almost appeared like the old wives tail of ostriches sticking their heads in the sand. It wasn't over for the drunken teen, however. He managed to pull his head out of the sand, just in time to feel bodies all around him pushing and shoving, kicking and squashing him. It had all happened too fast for him, and before he knew it, Rivin had joined the fray. He felt bodies squirming and jumping and knocking into him, and as he twisted around to try and shove them off, he felt his hind leg yanked out and he was dragged away, just in time to dodge any bodies that might have been further knocked into him. There were so many bodies! Two Jacks, a Scald and a half, three Rivin's, and...who had pulled him to relative safety? His brothers? He was too out of it from being winded and drunk that it took him a few moments to register what all was happening, but when he finally somewhat came around to figuring it out, he flashed a grin at his brother before leaping back into the fray, but this time, aiming to jump into the dog pile and smack the first face he could make contact with. A purple blur would distract him in his endeavor, however, and he scowled as he lost his footing and fell face first into whoever might be in his way. Maybe they'd get a mouthful of pokey bristles from his mohawk.

After Calico Jack challenges the very drunk Diablo, what follows is sheer and utter chaos. He rushes forward, aiming to unbalance the boy but is interrupted but Scald. Scald happily accepts the challenge and bounds up, leaping in the air to try and land on them. Calico’s icy gaze widens as he realizes what is happening and he attempts to back away. But he is too slow and the booze is messing with his coordination so he ends up tripping over his paws and tumbling to the ground right as Scald lands on him.

All the air leaves his lungs in a whoosh and he is let gasping for air which causes his head to swim. Clumsily standing, he staggers sideways and spies Rivin as she comes charging toward the growing pile. Mouth opens to shout out a warning but all the air is gone and he is, once again sent sprawling. Bodies are piling up, squirming and, in Jack’s case, moaning their displeasure at being handled so roughly. The world spins as he regains his paws on squishy earth (or is that someone else?) and he spies Diablo being pulled from the pile.

Laughter erupts as he spies the look on the drunk Diablo’s face and he stumbles slightly as he reaches for Rivin. He attempts to grab her and show her the funny look but, on his unsteady paws and with the world tilting at such a nauseating angle, he might be accidently pulling her to the ground with him. Oops. Trying to make the most of his fall, he strikes out at the next nearest body in the hopes to bringing them crashing down too.

"Calico Jack"

Chaos is an understatement when it comes to the brawl pile the yearlings rolled around in. Unsure of what paw went where, Scald was too drunk to even care. As he went flying to land upon Diablo and Jack, his body somewhat cushioned by the other boys’ bodies, he felt something slam into his side. A loud ‘OOF’ released from his open jaws as his quills along his spine raised instinctually. His eyes turned to try and see who had done it but everything was a blur. With his head fuzzy and sight full of stars, Scald attempted to roll over. Whether someone got a quill stuck in their nose or not was out of his control. Letting out a loud grunt as he attempted to stand, Scald kicked out his paws and legs. They were all entangled at this point and as long as he “won” in the end, Scald again didn’t care. There wasn’t much Scald cared about other than winning a fight.

If her joining in on the fight was one thing, now even more were joining in on the fun. Bodies on bodies, Rivin could feel her brain swimming more, her focus shifting. She didn’t even care about it being an actual fight, having crashed into someone, but she didn’t process who she had crashed into. She felt limbs and fur against her body and Rivin let out a laugh, paws soon wrapping around her and pulling her to the earth. Her forepaws flailed out playfully, shoving someone above Calico Jack as she collapsed on top of him. But would her “attack” help Jack’s intention to bring them down, or would she actually shove them out of “harms” way? "Talk," 'Think.'

Just as soon as he had Diablo out from the bottom of the pile-up and back on his feet … the moron flashed him a grin before diving back into the fray. There was no stopping the eye roll that ensued. He became vaguely aware of Sephiran bashing Scald with his head- that had to hurt. Besides that, Calico Jack and Rivin descend into drunken giggles. Trying to hold themselves up, or take one another to the sand … he honestly couldn’t tell.

As Scald rolled away with his quills extended, he was met with sharp pokes in his legs. Aresenn snapped at the open air out of warning. "Watch yourself, pin cushion!" He sneered, before surrendering the space. This was a shit show. Too chaotic for himself.

Barreling towards the colorful boy, Sephiran took one last stride before leaping into the fray, trying to slam straight into Scald. A loud grunt escaped him as their bodies collided, and it was quickly followed by a yelp as something sharp stabbed his face. Unbeknownst to Sephiran, the boy he had slammed into had quills along his back, and one stuck straight into the meaty part of his left cheek. And, given his momentum, as Scald tried to roll away to get out from under the pile, Sephiran went forward with him. He vaguely heard Aresenn scolding his brother, as manic, thrilled laughter bubbled from his jaws. He hadn't felt this alive in a while.

Blood trickled down his cheek, and his jaws splayed as he snapped at the pile of bodies, trying to grab a hold of anyone he could grapple with. If he could grab someone and use his strength to pull and pin them down, he would consider it a win. But with the mass of fur, kicking legs, and flailing bodies, his aim was pretty far off. Not to mention, his buzz was pretty intense from the alcohol.

"Speech"

Code by Sea

Bodies were everywhere. Flailing limbs, quills, claws, teeth, everything. He had no idea who was who anymore or who he was on top of, who was on top of him, who was even in the pile and who was safely to the side. Everything was a flash and a blur as his swimming eyes couldn't focus on any one thing. Everyone was flailing, he could hear gnashing teeth, laughter, growls and grunts and playful banter. Someone (or someones) had kicked him a few times and he swore he could feel his brain rattling around in his head. He reached out to grab...someone, elongated fingers creeping towards limbs as he somehow ended up buried beneath the dogpile. Swinging his head around in an effort to stay above the mass of fur, someone would be lucky if he didn't make contact with his horns. What had he started? Definitely something he'd do again!
