I've no problem with you switching out characters of the next Blood Moon, nor with you using Dez as an NPC..

Blood Moon III: The Death of Dez.

Incidently. Yes Nachos, try and get the attention on Ryan. He'll just remember Andy and go for him again. Or his kid.

I actually want to go for the kid now.

... ...In all honesty...Blood Moon III is likely to be the death of everyone...I suspect that most PCs will not live to see it end.

Andy vs Ryan, this one's for the kiddies.

...Considering Andy's Families leagthy connection with Vampires, and the " New Deal" Andy has agreed to...I can see the Bruss family figuring highly as wolf targets..

Well you know me Fitzz, I can't do an RP unless I have someone trying to kill my character.

The huge carcass of Ivan blazed like a comet upon the pyre, and a half dozen wolves gathered from around to watch, forsaking the jobs they had been given for a few moments whilst they watched it turn to ash. A couple of the Blackclaw approached Ryan during the blaze, and requested he came with them, saying it was more important than they could dare say in the presence of the others. Frowning, Ryan followed his feet padding silently behind the two huge wolves leading the way. The mansion was being quickly abandoned, Ryan noticed, very little was being left, and a convoy of huge trucks and Lorries had pulled up, and even now were being crammed with the possessions. The Blackclaw led him to a single body on the field of battle. Most of the corpses were on the pyres by now, only few remained. Ryan recognized Ivan instantly, his body taken apart so gruesomely. It was a terrible sight to behold, torn in half and headless, but the body had been bound together as best it could be, and the head was placed on his chest. The pair of Blackclaw who had led him wordlessly walked over to the body, and helped a second pair lift the corpse onto their shoulders. It was like a macabre version of a funeral, and Ryan followed in the procession behind as the four wolves made their way toward the blazing pyre...

Ryan left Holly standing with Sansa and Nelson, who had greeted her with more warmth than they had first greeted him, and trusted her with Cass, who had taken to her like a fish to water. She was all smiles and giggles, and played with Cass, doting her love on him as if she were his mother. Star... Ryan struggled with the notion. He had planned to get his son and take him to her in exchange for himself when he had first made his way to the mansion, a life for a life, but.. things had changed, and Ryan found himself now a leader, and a hero. Worse still, Natasha had told him such things about Star that he could not have believed, but they had been said with such clear conviction... Did she care at all about Cass? Star had never shown the same affection Holly had given him in the first 30 seconds of meeting, in the entire time they had spent together. It was perplexing... Ryan felt she would return, it wouldn't end here...

But Ryan felt no sorrow over his actions, which confused him until it became apparent that he had never felt anything for her other than concern for Cass needing a mother. He knew he had to address this problem, and that simply running away from her was not going to cure it. But Ryan didn't want, no, didn't need to deal with it. A very dark thought entered his mind, and Ryan let the darkness inside him bloom like a flower...

Never tried to ruin a lupine's life before, it should be a new and interesting experience. I'm sure Ghosty will make a worthy foe.

Take away his milkbones.

I wonder if Ryan will get close to killing Pontius, it seems like this RP is all about humans getting screwed over, wolves slaughtering people, vampires being sneaky, and people trying to kill Pontius.

Natures of the various "Beast"...

Humans ( Hunters) are in many ways fighting an uphill battle...throwing their fragile mortal bodies and minds at creatures who have exsited for centuries ( or longer)...so naturaly they get screwed a lot...even a small victory is an amazing feat for a human..

Wolves , well...they are more attuned with Nature...fight..survive..so yeah...ripping enemies to shreds goes with the program...

And of course Vampires are the ultament "string pullers"...plots with in plans and plans within plots dictate the most sucessful of their kind...

...and Pontius...dear Pontius...well...he just seems to attract a lot of ...bad feelings.

Poor Pontius, everyone else gets presents on their birthday, he gets death threats.

To Pontius..Death threats are presents...it lets him know he's deeply affected another life...and is doing his "job"..

With a grunt of acceptance, Ryan looked around, until his eyes alit upon who he was looking for. The shape of Davin, unmistakable at any distance, was directing a series of lesser wolves in the moving of the wounded. He jogged over to the now second in command, who turned to greet him. The Monstrous Blackclaw was easily taller than him, and stared down his nose to Ryan with a look of begrudging acceptance. He looked every bit the leader, rippling with sinew and musculature. He bore the scar that all the 'claw had on his cheek, a vicious slash. Next to him, Ryan felt he couldn't compete, and that in a fair fight for leadership over the pack, Ryan would be torn apart. But then again, none of the wolves at the mansion had truly believed Ryan would have been able to stand toe to toe against the vampires he had. Either way, it was imperative that he bent his potential competition to his will, and what better way to test how Davin would react to his dominance than the task he had planned.

"Ivans Bane." The huge wolf growled, before he turned to look straight at Ryan. "What can I do for you."

Ryan took a deep breath, and, eyes fixed on Davins, he spoke with a voice of authority. "I need something from you Davin. A mission, if you will. It'll require the two Blackclaw you trust not to fail."

"We never fail." Davin replied dismissively.

"Indeed. Choose wisely, there can be no mistakes, and you can never talk of this event to anyone, unless the Queen, or myself ever explicitly says otherwise. And believe me, we won't."


Davins eyes narrowed. "What is so cloak and dagger that requires such secrecy?"

Ryan licked his lips, and smiled.






Star sat quietly on a fallen log in the craggy ravine she and Ryan had traveled through to reach his pack, something that seemed like an eternity ago, yet it could only have been a couple of hours. The ground was verdant green, the little brook of water babbled quietly, and the trees sighed above her. This was where Ryan had told her to wait for him. He had said he would return with his son before the break of dawn, but the sun had already risen, and the hours had ticked past. She yearned for her little son, Cass in her arms, and hoped dearly he was okay. No doubt Ryan would retrieve him, she never doubted that for a second. He was so brave, and cared for his son so much. Ryan would get him, yes, that's what he would do. Any second now. A quiet sound of a twig snapping above her just above the ravine made her heart flutter with excitement. No doubt that was him right now. However, her elation quickly faded. It wasn't Ryan, it was someone else. A wolf, who smelt distinctly of blood and sweat. Star felt her heckles rise, and got to her feet cautiously, as quiet as she could. At least the mossy ground made her footfalls silent. Ryan would come, he would come and tear the wolf above her in half. He said he'd be here any second... A second wolf was moving down the Ravine at one end, so she only had one route open to her. It was still empty, and so, keeping under the overhang so that the wolf above wouldn't see her, she crept silently along, trying to break away. If worse came to worse, Star could fight, but she didn't think her chances fared well against a pair of wolves. As she neared the exit of the Ravine, and felt the ground begin it's shallow incline, she spotted the third wolf, far before she had smelt him. He had been upwind of her the entire time, and was leaning against a tree nonchalantly, waiting for her. Behind her, a low growl was emitted, and she knew the other wolf in the ravine had caught up with her. A further sound, this time a cough, from above, which, when she span to look up, revealed a wolf who was sitting in the branches of a tree, a cruel smile on his lips. The trio had cut any chance of escape off. Star growled, but she was frightened. How had they found her, she had been so careful to cover her tracks. Where was Ryan?! He would be here any minute and chase away the trio, he'd save her in a blaze of glory.

Davin said, with malice "Good morning, Princess."

Star shivered, and looked around desperately for her knight in shining armour to swoop in. But Ryan was nowhere to be seen. A pair of rough, strong hands grabbed her arms, and brusquely shoved them behind her back. With a yell, Star thrashed out, trying to resist the wolf that had grabbed her from behind, but it was no use. Thick rope bonds were tied around her hands, and she was pushed to her knees. The wolf in the tree laughed at her misfortune, as he picked at his teeth with a short dagger. Realising the predicament she was in, she became desperate.

"Please, let me go, I have a son..."

"I know." Davin said firmly.

"He needs his mother. Don't let him grow up without me, he won't cope."

"The pup survived the Rawhide, he doesn't need a washed up excuse of a Lycan fussing over him."

"Please, let me go." Star pleaded. "I'll give myself to you willingly, just let me go." She began to sob, her head darting left and right, looking for an exit, or Ryan, but there was none, and he wasn't there.

The wolf in the tree laughed. "We'll have you anyway, there aint nothing you can do."

Davin barked suddenly, with savagery, making the tree perched Blackclaw almost lose his footing.

"No, we won't, we'll get this over with quickly. We're moving soon and I don't want to end up stuck in one of the troop transporters with the runty mongrels." Davin remarked, and his hand went into his jacket pocket, withdrawing a pistol. It was nondescript, very standard. It had no adornment, dull grey, a tool, nothing more. Davin looked at it for a moment, and then walked slowly towards Star. She was weeping by now, and fighting against her bonds. The other Blackclaw had moved away, and were watching with casual interest. As Davin approached, she looked up pleadingly into his uncaring eyes, but she saw no remorse over what he was about to do. And so finally her eyes fell upon the gun, the simple pistol, and recognition suddenly overcame her.

"That's Ryans." She said with a strangled gasp.

"Who do you think told us to come here." Davin growled, and before she could scream, or make any sort of response, other than the sudden widening of her eyes, he had placed the barrel under her jaw, and without a moments hesitation, fired. The silver Bullet passed through the soft flesh of the bottom jaw, and up into her skull. It burrowed forwards through her brain matter, it's poison infecting and destroying her brain cells faster than any disease. The tip of the bullet spat out of her skull between the parting of her hair, leaving a neat hole.

Star stayed ridged for several seconds, her body held in it's position, convulsing slightly. A thin dribble of blood slipped for the hole, and streaked down her face, past her crossed eyes, and around the curve of her quivering mouth. And then, whatever held her body up finally gave way, and she fell, without grace, face first onto the floor. A small amount of liquidized brain matter slopped from the bullet wound and splattered onto the leaf mold. And like that, Star was no more. With a grunt of disrespect, Davin casually threw the Pistol onto Stars back, the barrel still smoking, the tip of the gun still warm, and turned away. Without a second glance, they began to make there way back to camp...

OOC: Guess that's the last post then. Everything is sorted out, and I suppose all that is left to say it that Ryan jumps in a jeep and drives off with everyone to wherever the next location is.

God I hate when the power goes out...

Anyway...I'm interested to see where the rlationship between Ryan and Harlow is headed in BM3 especially now that they are both on the same "team"

I'm seriously still trying to get my head around what ghosty's intention was when he shoved his NPCs at me and said "Hold these, I've got to go talk to my girlfriend." , not trying to say I was the only one in that situation but I have to admit it was a headscratcher...it provided plenty of ideas but because of that, this RP ended up in a completely different galaxy than what I expected...

Nice one ghosty...
The only flaw at all is that Davin was killed by Rawhead protecting Cas...other than that ...it's great stuff.

Did he?!
Ooh Bollocks I thought it was Jarin. Time to re-edit like a boss.

So he did. Ugh, it fitted Davin so well, and a faceless wolf won't cut it. Worse still, I don't want to use Nelson, as he's too noble to do such a thing. I have a predicament and no mistake.

Well you know what they say "If you want something done right you have to do it yourself..."

But that would make Ryan seem more involved, and I wanted him to...not take part in it.

Hmm, Plot armour Davin in the fight Fitzz? 0.0

I'll do some editing...have it so Davin lived ...no biggie..

EDIT..done and done....Davin rejoins the living.

I love you Fitzz, have I ever said that? Like a brother I never had, who was born a couple of decades ahead of me, meaning logistically, when said parents had you, they were barely legal, and when they had me, it was almost menopause time. But regardless, I feel I may have lost sight of the point of this, but thanks Fitzz, your such a babe.
