The Deck of
The Deck of Cards
You're an alley dog. You were born on the street with no master, no friends, a free dog in this crazy world. You steal food, find shelter under benches and trees, while constantly running away from the dog catcher and the threat of custody hanging over your head. You want your freedom, and you will do anything to keep it. Every new moon, when the sky is darkest, you and the other alley animals meet behind the local Casino to discuss everything that has happened since your last meeting. The last meeting you attended was in an uproar about the new disappearances of comrades, disappearances like nothing the city has ever seen before. It could just be the work of a new dog catcher on the streets… or something more sinister. 52 have gone missing since the last meeting, granting this case the name Deck of Cards. What will you do about this? What will you do to keep your freedom you have tried so hard to keep? What will happen to you?
Greetings. I am Asphalt, leader and organizer of the New Moon gatherings. We have gathered here today to discuss the outbreak of a new dog catcher. Yes, as you may know, this dog catcher has been the unfortunate fate of many of our comrades this past moon. Hush! Wait! Call to order! No, it is nothing more than a new dog catcher! Nothing more! Yes, 52 have gone missing. Yes, I suppose you’re right, that is the amount of a deck of cards. Call to order! Now, to protect our freedom, we must do something to get in the way of this new catcher. Yes, and save our 52 comrades. I need volunteers to help our cause. Call to order! These volunteers will work together to track this new dog catcher. Once they are found, if backup is needed, please see fit to start a bark track. No, nothing bad will happen to said volunteers. You will form a pack, nothing can hurt you when you are in a pack. Be careful not to let them solo you out. Do you understand how important that is? Good. Remember, a pack is as strong as its weakest link. Do I have my volunteers? Good. With the moons light, you will find this dog catcher and save our comrades. It is up to you. Good luck, chasers of the Deck of Cards. Meeting adjourned.

Hey all! Yes that was pretty vague, if anyone has any questions, please ask! (Pre-answers to some questions probably) you can have had many charries as you wish, just don’t go overboard! Yes, the story will center around the volunteers, the chasers of the Deck of Cards. We will develop the plot as we move towards. I was thinking they lived in a suburb off of a city, so not too city-like but still dirty with allies and trash dumps and such. I’ll post my charrie later!
Noon says hypc. Are you hype for this! Me too!

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Species: Wolf
Appearance: Very beautiful, with sleek white fur. Peircing, narrow dark eyes that fix you with a stare that seems to see right through any visage. Uncommonly fast when running.

Annnnd one more.
Name: Summit
Age: 1ish
Gender: (after much debate) Male
Species: A mix between a leopard dog, a Ridgeback, and probably a Rottweiler too.
Apperance: Lithe build, smaller frame, striking ice blue eyes. Fur is a mix of brown, white, grey, and tan (look up leopard dogs and u know what I mean), has large, floppy ears and big paws. Has the famous ridge of a ridgeback down his spine. His build is more of a leopard dog then any other breed, but he has a thicker snout. Still has a gold chain color around his neck from the owners who abandoned him.
Personality: Funny, sweet, and kind. Doesn’t have any ego. Has little confidence in himself and is self doubting. Can be snappy and sarcastic. Enjoys other dogs company. A great hunter, has an amazing sniffer. Has hunted for his food since his owners abandoned him. Untrusting, deceiving, can be cunning. Doesn’t want to trust anyone and wants no one to trust him, because he thinks he’ll let them down, like he surely let his owners down because why else would they abandon him? If he does care he’ll make sure it doesn’t show. Loves being part of a pack, but feels like he’d let everyone down or isn’t good enough for them. Stronger then he looks, physically and mentally. Will stand up for others. Believes in justice. He’d be a good leader if he just believed in himself.
Something random about you: Likes to sleep in trees.
How you reacted to this meeting: “Nobody should be abandoned by their pack.” The first one to volunteer.
Background: Was boren a stray. Mother was some sort of hybread as his father probably was. He doesnt know who his father was. His mother gave him the name Summit because of his eyes, and as an irony to their stray-level on the social spectrum. She believed he could be something great. Was brought to the pound at a very younge age with his mother and siblings. He was the first to be adopted, and he never saw any of his siblings again. Not even a few months after he was brought into this family, given the name ‘Cougar’ and his gold chain collar, his family moved. They dropped him on the highway, and he waited many days but they never returned for him. He only left when the pound showed up. He has been an untrusting stray ever since.
Other: open to shipping, still has his name tag on his collar, but his owners were smart enough to take off their information.

WOOT WOOT
Name: Angel
Age: 2 yrs
Gender (or preferred pronouns): Feminine
Species (you don’t have to be a dog): Ferret :3
Appearance: Angel has white fur with little brown striped mittens on her feet and ears and tail and muzzle. She looks like a pokemon.
Personality: Angel is creative and quick thinking, enthusiastic, Flexible, extroverted. Thouroughly enjoys backsassing others, outspoken, can be blunt and may be seen as dishonest or unethical. She is not completely... here. A few cards short of a deck. (HEHEHEHEHEHHEH)
Something random about you: She bielieves if you look hard enough, you can see the stars in one's eyes. (same, gurl) and Anatidaephobia ( the fer of being watched by a duck) She has this weird obsession with ducks and she thinks they are really behind all of the dog catchers. (a lot of animals have tried to reason with her... unsucsessful!)
How you reacted to this meeting: "Nothing more, my furry butt! I'm in! Those ducks won't win this time. (I'll be an agent on double missions)" (she whispers in parenthesies) She signs up and most people- sorry, animals would give her a look like ' a pack is as strong as its weakest link' A few bricks short of a house, that one is.
Background: She was a circus ferret and it kind of... cracked her in a way that not a lot of people-er animals can fix? She can be irrational at times, and is EXTREMELY claustrophobic and Anatidaephobia ( the fer of being watched by a duck)

Appearance: Brown and cinnamon coat, curly whiskers, white patch on belly.
Personality: Curious but cautious, friendly, sees the best in people.
Something random about you: Favorite food is strawberries.
How you reacted to this meeting: Wasn’t actually invited per say, figured a huge meeting of dogs and cats would be good to look into in case they were conspiring to eat all the rats. When they weren’t, our little cinnamon roll here was so relieved they decided to volunteer, because why not?
Background: Used to be a pet, hanging out with their best friend Nutmeg and their giant. Then their giant left them with a dubious giant who was small and squealed a lot, so Cinnamon decided to go look for their real giant and couldn’t find them. Nutmeg liked the small giant and stayed.

I I LOVE DOGS!!
Name: Whicker
Age: 9
Gender: M
Species: Tri colored Border Collie
Appearance: Look at photo.
Personality: He knows everyone, and everyone knows him. Has a calm yet mocking demeanor. Doesn’t have much of an ego although he does have a reputation for his strategic fighting and hunting. He’s called a loner by others but he isn’t alone much, it’s more his personality. He often reminisces with the senior animals, and his closest friend is one of the eldest dogs in the city, Twister. He’s a fighting dog, but not blindly violent. Border Collies are one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs, so he always has a plan. Not quick to trust. He enjoys younger dogs spirit, but their just Rookies at life. He mostly calls young pups and dogs from 1-2 pups or Rookies.
Random about him: On rare occasions when he is actually alone, he goes to certain shops and people know him. He’s like the dog around town, and the dog catcher hasn’t coughs him yet.
Reaction to meeting: “Well, Twister my ol’ pal is gone a’ missing, and I aim to get him back. You can count me in Asphalt.”
Background: He grew up at a farm, where he was trained along with his brother to be the best Sheep herders, by their master. They would travel to the fairs all over the country, taking blue ribbons left and right. Whicker was the happiest dog alive, and he was reverently loyal to his master. But one night there was a blazing fire, and set the cottage and barn on fire. Most of the animals died, for it was untamable. But his master tried desperately to set the animals free before the whole barn collapsed. After he did what he could the Master barely got a foot out before part of the roof came falling in. He broke his leg. Whicker pulled and rugged until he dragged him far enough from the fire, and lay beside his master. He wasn’t breathing. He died that night, and Whicker lay beside him until the fire squad came. He doesn’t remember what happened afterwords, but somehow he needed up in the pound. He managed to escape with the help of Twister who was also in the pound. Well, they lived on the streets of the city before any gatherings or anything of the sort was there.
Other: Possible ship??
Password: New Moon gathering deck of cards? Or was I missunderstanding that? Well I read the whole thing anyway so...
(August 13, 2018 - 11:45 am)
Lol you’re fine Tux. Oh and one suggestion, could Whicker be older then 6? Like 8, or 10, or somewhere in between. Just because Ashpalt is 8.
(August 13, 2018 - 8:20 pm)
Great idea lol
Yah, Whicker can be... 9? Yeah nine.
@Admins
