Piper bounded towards the door as her sensitive nose picked out the familiar scents of Jeremy, Troy, and their dad. Tail wagging and floppy ears perked happily, her enthusiastic greeting was soon halted by the somber mood in the air. Her rapidly moving tail slowed, then dropped as she cocked her head, wondering what was wrong. The boys flopped down on the couch, and she hurried over to them. Brown eyes questioning and comforting, her question hung, silent, on the air.

Letting out a soft whine at their lack of response, she laid her head in Jeremy's lap, licking his hand. Even the wet touch of her slobbery tongue failed to rouse him from his stupor of thought. She stuck her cold nose under his hand, forcing him to pet her head, struggling to gain his attention. What was wrong? No matter how long it took, she was going to find out.

OOC: Accepted, Jett. Thanks for joining! Lion, we're starting just when the brothers and father get home from the doctor's office. The father had a nasty fall which was the reason for their visit, but instead they discovered that their father had the disorder. Now they're back home. It's about midday, somewhere past noon.

BIC: Jeremy shrugged his shoulders, still trying to think of what really would happen next. It seemed to take a long time, but he finally decided that perhaps it might be just a mild case. After all, if it had remained dormant all this time, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, right? He answered his brother with, "I'm not sure. I guess we can sit and wait. There is still a chance it could be mild... I hope." He muttered the last word, even unsure of himself at the moment. Family drama was not something he dealt with lightly.

Just then, their oldest dog, Jack, rested his head against Jeremy's knee. Jeremy managed a real half smile this time, and he rubbed the dogs head lovingly. "Hey old boy," he whispered. "I hope you're doing better than dad is..." he sighed, removing his hand from the Jack's head and using it along with his other to cover his face. Before he could do so, though, Piper came and did the same, though she pushed his hand towards her snout. He pet her for a while too, until he was so overcome with confusion that he just couldn't handle the pressure any longer.

He turned to Troy with a desperate expression, something rarely seen of him unless the family's stability was at stake - which rarely ever happened. "I don't know what comes next, and that's what scares me. For now, let's try and get our minds off it, okay? Dad's resting in his room, so we should make dinner later on. Maybe he won't be grouchy if we do all the chores and make him some dinner? I'm not sure... For now let's just take care of the dogs. They're bound to be starving. Besides, if there's one thing that always cheers us up, it's these guys." He managed to fake a soft laugh and pet Jack and Piper's heads again.

He got up swiftly, noting that Bella had just come out of the dark and drifty room. She padded out with a cautious expression, something not entirely uncharacteristic of her, but it was something she usually wasn't caught doing. Bella barked again, quietly this time, and padded over to Troy. Jeremy seemed to be trying to cheer them up, and Bella loved it when the atmosphere was happy. With a glint in her eyes, Bella marched over to Troy and tugged on his sleeve in a playful manner. She growled like a puppy, in that playful gesture that meant she was trying to cheer him up.

Grigori and Inna were laying beside the couch. The two dogs just watched everybody in motion. They could feel that something was wrong but then it seemed a little happier. Jeremy was on the move. Grigori perked up as he walked by, so he got up to follow. He stretched and yawned and padded behind him. Inna now seemed lost, with the emptiness now at her side. She shifted uncomfortably deciding whether or not to get up and follow her brother.

OOC: Thanks for waiting for me

Ciara:
Tossing and turning on the couch she had realized she had dozed off, eating ice cream which made a huge mess. Standing up, Ciara found the crush ice cream container wedged between two of the white sofa cushions, Lilly licking her pant leg. Ciara sighed and walked into the bathroom, getting damp towels and rags to soak up the crusty ice cream from the couch. Lilly helping her by trying to eat it. Ciara dapped the stained furniture until it was almost un-noticable, also flipping the cushion over for extra precaution. Satisfied with her work, Ciara hurried and got a shower and washed her silk night pants and shirt. Getting dressed to finish the day off strongly. Lilly started to get fussy when Ciara walked past her food bowl without sparing a glance, she barked and jumped around her. Ciara smiled and turned around giving her 2 small coffee can size scoops into the stainless steal dish.

OOC: Wow all it takes is one post and you can get a topic flooded!

IC: Spy walked about the yard sniffing here and there. He looked up at the old and dreary building he liked to call his own. It was dark and cool and the air smelled quite musty once you were inside. He sniffed about some more until he found the old wooden chair which was covered in dust and leaves. Spy scratched at a few fleas and barked as a shadow approached, but it only turned out to be a squirrel. With a growl of distaste Spy curled up in a tight ball and slept.

OOC: Hi. Did I miss anything important.

OOC: Okay. Weird it always looks so long until you post it. Also I've invited you to private RP.

IC: Soon Spy woke up and sniffed the air. He wanted to make sure the boys were okay since he knew there'd be a change in the weather soon. So with much denial and anger for interuptting his own nap Spy set off in search of the two. He knew where'd they be he just liked the way he thought. Making sure to stay low to the ground the dark-coated German Shepard crept thoroughout the streets and alleyways of the city leaping at the chance to show-off from time to time. Soon he found the brothers but instead of his usual reaction he froze and growled.

Ciara:
She walked into her home office and grabbed a couple files, snatching her jacket off the chair and slipping it over her skinny arms. Making her way to the door, Ciara grabbed her car keys and her purse, she had to go to the studio to do a recording. She locked the big wooden door, said bye to Lilly and hopped in her car and sped out of her blacktopped driveway.

OOC: Since i don't what to say I think this would be a good time to ask. How do you get those wolf smilies?

Grigori padded into the kitchen, smelling the ground to see if their were any crumbs on the floor. He only found a few. He went over to the big water bowl and started lapping up the water, after he was do e the bowl was going to need to be refilled soon.

Spy looked at Grigori and barked. Something was wrong with Spy and he didn't know what. He was acting quite strange as he barked again this time a little more viciously. He ran about the room in circled than headed over to Grigori aiming to pounce upon him for no apparent reason. He wanted to stop himself but this strange scent was controlling him and comepletely too it seemed.
