Very good. And of course you may take over Dingo. Well, like Balto said, let's get started, since no one wants to join right now. I guess when certain charas are needed, we'll just pick them up as we go along.

Erm. . . Jenna. There's also several dogs from the sled team. They spent their entire days together, so there's no doubt Kodi was close with them. Anyway, on we go.


'My son is dead. . .' There was little else on the mind of a large and slightly aged wolfdog. Balto was taking the news of his son's death rather hard. He couldn't exactly blame any of it on himself. He was, in no way, associated with his son's death. Apart from being informed about the tragedy that had befallen his son, then discovering his motionless body on the porch of his owners, he had pratically been oblivious to the suffering that Kodi was enduring. Several emotions came to mind when he thought about how his son was too young to die and that his life had been taken from him by some rabid street dogs. Or Wolves. He didn't know who was to blame for doing that to Kodi, but he did know that he wanted to track them down and make sure they pay for what they did.

He had mourned his son just as everyone else close to Kodi, but he'd gone into state that was close to shock. While he had never really been extremely close with Kodi, and he had to admit that he'd neglected to spend time with him when the chance came up, but he still cared for Kodi as a father. And Kodi's life had ended so abrubtly is was next to unbelievable. He had alot of life in him. There were so many great things about Kodi, he couldn't fathom what could have driven those who did that to Kodi to beat him to that point.

Balto was sitting outside in one of his usual spots. The boat that wreacked ashore some time ago. At this point, the boat wasn't in such good shape. It was unsteady and didn't have much time left before it collapsed entirely. Nails had rusted to cumbles from the constant water and several boards were missing from the deck. Many were cracked and several had fallen in.
The place had changed from a quiet refuge for Balto, to a rather dangerous spot to be.

Balto sat, balanced, on top of the railing around the boat. Staring out into the distance. His mind lost in his musings about his son. Now that he acctually thought about it, he didn't have nearly as many memories as he'd like to have with his son.
The only movement that Balto made for some time was the blinking of his eyes and his ears. Shifting around everytime he heard a sound.

Thanks for the tips! ^^


Dingo couldn’t think about anything other than his brother, Kodi. He had taken the news of his death rather hard and couldn’t think about anything else. He wanted to run, run away from his problems, run away from himself, but no matter how fast he ran he could not escape his thoughts. Maybe if he had been there, he could have prevented it. Or it could have been him instead. He was after all, the oldest, and Kodi the youngest. He shook his head, it was all too confusing.

Without realising, Dingo had reached the beach. So wrapped up in his thoughts, he hadn’t noticed until he felt the cool water touch his paws. It reminded him of the times at the beach with his siblings as pups, with Kodi, with Saba. A tear slid down his furry cheek as another question entered his puzzled mind. It haunted him night and day; he couldn’t sleep for thinking about it. Had Saba really killed Kodi? It didn’t seem like a think his sister would do. He was falling into a deeper and deeper hole of depression. He started a full on bolt along the water’s edge to try and escape it. However, no matter how hard someone tries, they cannot run away from their problems and eventually they must be solved. Dingo knew this and halted. He was out of breath and panting heavily. He looked up, there was a small shape on the horizon. It looked like his father’s shipwrecked boat. He squinted his eyes but he couldn’t be sure. He padded along slowly to see if it was his father. Although, he hadn’t been particularly close to his father as a pup, he decided to see how he was coping with the recent and horrific news.

I think everyone just likes Kodi so much they don't wanna think of him as dead.


While Balto lay outside on the mass of wooden studs and beams that remained of the boat, lost in his thoughts and caught up in the grief he felt, knowing Kodi had passed on, his mate, Jenna, remained at home. Doing the same exact thing. But while Balto still maintained a grip of reality, even though he'd been rather distant the last few days, Jenna hadn't stopped crying since the news of Kodi's death had reached her ears.

As soon as Balto entered their home and delivered the horrible news, her whole body had gone numb. Then tears began to fall. The loss was so great that everyone was feeling the dispair of losing such a kind friend. But Jenna was his mother. With the way she was handeling it, Balto couldn't imagine any other dog taking it harder than her(but he doesn't yet know about how Dusty is doing).

He still hadn't checked on Dusty to see how she was holding up. He was one of the few dogs who knew about her and Kodi's very brief relationship together. Shortly before Kodi's life ended, they had both confessed their true feelings for each other.

The scent of another dog reached his nose just then. This provoked him to move for the first time in a few hours. It was a small motion, but a movement nonetheless. Looking down the beach in the direction of the scent, he saw another one of his offspring. Dingo was padding this way.

It was clear to Dingo as he stared at his father’s unmoving body, his gaze transfixed on the ocean, that he was taking the news very hard indeed. As an animal of few words, he decided to climb up the steps that lead to the boat and sit beside his father, saying absolutely nothing. He was sure Balto would feel some sort of comfort just feeling his presence, or he hoped so anyhow. He stared at the deep blue waves rolling and turning until they turned to white as they hit the shore.

Shifting uncomfortably, Dingo thought of something suitable to say. He had never been very good with words. One of the main reasons he never spoke much. He looked at the old wolfdog sitting next to him. His greyish brown fur was starting to turn silver with age and he looked very tired. Dingo guessed it was from lack of sleep, he too was suffering from it. He could only think that if his father was suffering this much, how would his poor mother be?

He stared once more at the gentle waves rolling into the shore. It was soothing, making him feel tired. Dingo yawned. He had hardly been sleeping because Kodi was constantly on his mind. He tried to think about other things, but there was nothing else to think about. He sighed and once more, looked out at the blue ocean that stretched out in front of him.

Just bumping the thread up, it's gone to the 2nd page.

While I wouldn't mind continuing this RP, I think we should restart. Not only is this thread rather old, but it seems that everyone is just overly depressed. Naturally, Dusty is going to as upset as she is when Kodi died just after they confessed their feelings for each other.

I can see everyone being sad about what happened to Kodi, but i think it got too exageratted. It's just my opinion on it, but what do you think?

Since she hasn't been taken,could I please RP as Aleu?

I think that may be best.

And since two characters can be taken,I'll RP as Jenna,ok?
