So... it looks like you already have all the characters you need. Are you going to do more RPs in the future?

Ooc:// I'll start first ^^ Also, I will be doing RPs in the future - I'll let you know when I have a new one open!

Cobalt climbed awkwardly through the rubber dog door and onto the dark, wooden porch that stood in front of his master's house. Bits of unmelted snow that still showed sign of the dark blizzard that had occurred a week before, still clung to the porch and Cobalt easily knocked them off with a swish of his tail. A deafening squeal made his fur stand on end and he whipped around, wondering what had made the noise. A tiny, black automobile's breaks were squealing as it tried to come to a complete stop. It had driven onto a large patch of ice and the vehicle was now trying to stop from sliding into the grass on the side of the road. It eventually came to a stop and a Human got out, walking towards Cobalt. Cobalt bent down and snarled, guarding his master's home but the Human just lightly kicked a leg towards him and rang the doorbell.

He must be a client of Dave's. Cobalt thought, still growling deep in his throat. His master, Dave, sold some of the best sleds in Alaska, along with being on of the best mushers.

Kateri's head hit the roof of the small plane as it swooped down abruptly and took her by surprise. She growled in discomfort and curled back up inside her large, metal cage. The blanket on the floor did nothing about the uncomfortable hardness under her feet and the bars at the front of her cage only let her see the backseats of the plane. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkland were talking to each other but the roar of the plane was too loud for Kateri to hear them. She dug her nose into her tail and tried to fall asleep but only hit her head again as the plane jerked forwards.

Giving up, Kateri pulled herself up as far as the cage would let her, and attempted to stretch. Her claws scratched the metal bars and made her cringe at the sound. She stuck her nose through the wire and called out to her brother, "Alchak! You awake?" She barked over the roaring.

"How could I sleep with all this noise?" Alchak grumbled, cracking open one blue eye. His aching muscles strained against gravity and his own weight as he levered himself into a crumpled sitting position. The plane had hit a patch of rough air sometime back, causing quite a bit of turbulence. He had been thrust against the unforgiving mesh of his cage, and the even more painful floor. A heavy sigh escaped him.

He wasn't normally this grumpy, but the canine was exhausted and slightly battered. Never a big fan of heights, the first few moments had been sheer terror. But considering the fact he could only see a sliver of the window, he soon forgot about the fact he was suspended above the ground.


Sakii's tail thumped lightly against the ground, and she hurriedly stood. Her claws clicked against the ground, and her nose twitched. She buried her lightly colored muzzle in the food bowl, eating the kibble gratefully. No matter how much she ate, she seemed to burn through calories fast, and was always glad for any sustanence she could find. Unfortunately, the kibble eventually became crumbs. She eyes the remains regretfully.

Cobalt stared at the door as it swung closed after a few moments before leaping down to the street. A patch of ice caused him to stumble but he quickly regained his balance and set off at a steady trot. He padded up the quiet street, nodding at some children who were playing on the other side of the road. He turned the corner and continued down the road at a regular pace until he found himself at the house Trek and Kara lived in.

Kateri tried to see out through the mesh but she could only make out the shadow of Alchak's cage. She pulled back her nose and rested her head on her paws. "I hope we get there soon." She murmured to herself, but loudly enough for her brother to hear.

By the fresh scent of the twins in the air, Cobalt could tell they were outside not long ago, but had gone inside. Must be breakfast time. He thought to himself and let out a quiet bark - letting the two know he was there.

After gulping down the last bit of kibble in her bowl, Kara heard a yip outside the door. Her ears shot forwards as she lifted her head from the empty location of food. Turning her head, she padded towards the dog door and carefully crawled through it. When she was completely encased in the misty morning air once more, she sniffed it and was delighted by what it greeted her with. The day was beautiful.

As she looked around, she tried to search for the dog who had called, and she finally found him standing not too far from the driveway. "Cobalt!" She barked, and ran quickly to his side, licking his neck before grinning in front of him. "How have you been?" She laughed. The husky was obviously excited by another dog's presence. She hadn't been with company besides her brother for a very long time. And most who knew her also knew that Kara went insane without someone to talk to. She wasn't exactly the loner type. Though she'd suffer alone if she had to, without so much as a peep of complaint.

Her eyes glistened with the morning light and she panted very lightly, showing the cold morning air a mist of her own. She looked up at the cloudless sky and then back to Cobalt.

Trek turned back to see that Kara had gone out the dog door in response to the woof outside the house. Since he was in no rush to find out who it was, or to go back outside, he finished his breakfast in peace.

A few minutes later, he licked the tip of his muzzle to taste the last specs of food on his lips. His warm brown eyes gazed at the window of the door and he fought back a gulp. Should he risk going outside? If Kara had gone, he probably should have also, but... he looked back to the further parts of the house. Well...

He shook his head, ruffling the fur around his neck in the process. He made a split decision to just dive through the plastic wrap around the small square and go outside before his mind made up the choice for him. By the time his brain realized he had gone outside, it was too late to make his feet move backwards.

Trek moved halfway across the driveway and stood still before deciding to go next to Kara. "H-Hey Cobalt," he attempted to greet. It had been a while since he had conversed with anyone besides Kara, and obviously he wasn't used to it. He smiled after the 'hello' and sat down.

Cobalt pulled back his lips to show a smile, if that is what you would call it. He licked Kara's shoulder in greeting and nodded to Trek when he appeared outside. "I've been well. Dave is making a lot of money in his business - three sold dogs this week. Cobalt wrapped his tail over his paws and twitched his ears - shaking a snowflake off the tip before continuing, "Also, I was listening to one of Dace's clients talk about some new arrivals flying in from Anchorage." He shrugged his shoulders as though the news was no big deal. But he couldn't shake the tone of the man's voice when he said "New arrivals.".

"I bet they have a dog or two who is bound to stir up trouble for the sled dogs." Cobalt predicted halfheartedly.

Kara shook her head and laughed quietly. "New arrivals?" When Cobalt made his prediction, Kara narrowed her eyes to think and then turned her expression into that of a challenged dog. "Then I guess we'll just have to break the silence, huh?" She asked mischeivously, then grinned.

She chuckled and put a paw to his shoulder, shoving him playfully. "Hey, speaking of which..." She looked around her, towards Trek, and then back to Cobalt. "Later on tonight, Trek and I are going to get some treats." Her eyes danced with curiousity and her voice was flaming with it too.

"That is to say- we're going to get some meat from the butcher's. You wanna come?" She asked.

[color=#008000]"Did I hear meat?" Sakii asked, sidling closerto the three canines. Driven by a lack of anything better to do, she had stepped outside, and spotted the small group. And her bottomless pit of a stomach had eagerly replied at the mention of meat. How could she stay away from the possibly food-related conversation?[/color]

"So do I," Alchak groaned, allowing himself to flop back down on to the floor. He absolutely hated this - for starters, the continuos rumble of the plane's engines were enough to drive him mad. That, paired with the occasional turbulene, and the fact that his legs were going numb...did not make for a happy Alchak.

Saber felt the snow give away beneath his strong paws, leaving the clear indent for all to see. He was still getting use to this environment...though it wasn't completely worse then before. In reality he was getting use to the new team of which he was now part of, but only one thing stood out in his mind right away and that was finding Maya. She was one of the dogs further up the "social ladder" of sorts, but she was also his only friend and accomplice at this point in time. He walked along the back of the shed, knowing that was the usual place she would be waiting.

His ears perked up and he smiled before shaking his head, watching her play about in the snow like a newborn pup. He took the moment to laugh before waiting until she was on her back looking straight up. Taking advantage of the position, Saber looked straight down at her. "Well...it would seem that somebody is enjoying themselves." he spoke with a smile before brushing some snow over her head with a laugh, quickly bounding away and raising his backside in the air in a playful manner.

"You might be faster but it takes more then just speed to win the day." he stated with a playful grin before letting his tail wag about.
