Hi! How have you been? I hope everything is going well! Acker & Matthew: Matthew occasionally could give talks on the importance of wildlife at various locations. --> Charity event about raising money for the local wildlife! Acker, a few family members and rich people ready to be convinced to donate their money can participate in a charity event about wildlife. Perhaps, they have to go around the forest and attend to animals while Matthew educates everybody? Perhaps, Matthew could also talk about Acker's dogs considering that they look like and feel emotions like real dogs. Perhaps, Matthew could notice that they are not real animals, or the dogs could smell that there is something off about Matthew? What do you think? PS.: I'm starting my character from scratch meaning that any threads from before didn't happen (so Acker and Sasha have never met).
@matthew
I'm doing good thanks! Had a lot on for uni but hoping to get some more free time now haha. That definitely would be something Matthew would do! He likes to educate people on various wildlife, especially the more often 'misunderstood' species, and helping fundraise for local wildlife charities would be right up his street. It'd be very possible for him to not smell like an ordinary human too, since he spends the vast majority of his time in the woods either as a wolf or with wolves (aka his family lol), though he probably wouldn't pay much attention to the dogs aside from to recommend they be leashed in case of wild animal encounters. And thank you for letting me know! I was actually considering starting Sasha from scratch too anyway, so that makes the decision for me lol

That's good! Oh and, happy birthday! Acker & Matthew: Sounds great! The dogs do not smell like real animals, so maybe some animals can react to that and get scared or attack? Could that be plausible? Like "uncanny valley" but for animals? Also, I'll probably have questions about what kind of animals live around Los Eurosia because I have no idea about the wildlife around America, so bear (hehehe) with me please. Would you like to start the thread or should I? About Sasha and Acker...then they'll have the opportunity to meet someday! I can see Acker's mother finding Sasha in animal form and trying to take care of her, and then asking Acker to help. In this scenario Sasha would be fine, Acker would have to actually help in order to keep up the facade with his family.

It's possible something could react, most likely an animal with dependent children that feels threatened - most real animals tend to run away from something they don't recognize, but for example a bear with cubs might attack it if she felt her cubs couldn't escape. Honestly I don't know too much about Californian wildlife myself, I usually end up googling when I need to haha Could you start it please? Matthew could also possibly bring one of his children with him in wolf pup form if you wanted that additional interaction, his daughter Harper is the fussy type who doesn't like being away from her father. Sasha and Acker meeting could also be fun! Nicholas Acker Villin

Cool! And Harper sounds adorable! Maybe Harper gets all curious about the dogs, but instead of being scared she is friendly (if it makes sense based on her personality of course)? Also, Acker would want to pet Harper, I'm gonna warn you right now lol We'll be google buddies for this thread then hahah, and gotcha, animals that need protecting cubs will attack, instead others will run away *takes notes* About Acker and Sarah, if that idea that I proposed sounds okay then we can do that after the Matthew thread or when it's convenient for you, no rush of course! And sure, I can start the thread : D @sasha

Harper will definitely be very nosy about the dogs, she's not really scared of anything right now because she's never knowingly been in a dangerous situation before (her parents always get her and her siblings to safety and see off any threats long before the kids had a chance to notice). She's naturally curious haha. Doing the Sasha and Acker thread after Matthew's sounds good to me ^^ Nicholas Acker Villin

[attr="class,"rinse-plotreply"] Hey there! So John's also a shapeshifter (favoring a wolf form) who lives out near the national forest. He also works as a Forest Ranger in said forest and is a part of Blackstorm. I can't imagine that these two aren't aware of each other or haven't already met/established some sort of working relationship with one another. John would probably think the wild-living is bit odd but that Matthew and his family are nice and cool enough. Plus, he really can't fault it — perhaps if he'd done something like that he'd have a nice family of his own instead of being widowed. If you're cool with the idea of them already knowing/being familiar with one another, how would you feel about threading them? For some possible ideas, maybe Matthew needs help with something? A pup gone missing or something of that ilk. Wildfire? Or perhaps the other way around — missing hikers in the forest and John asks Matthew to help scout? Or maybe one of them is being pinned by some Hunters and the other comes to help? Another idea I can see is these two. Ashley fosters dogs on the side and is Gifted with the ability of animal empath/animal scrying. Perhaps Sasha is picked up by Animal Control and brought to a shelter, but the shelter is too full, so they contact him to see if they can take her? So he picks her up. But the thing is, his Gift doesn't work on shapeshifters. He could try and "feel her out" and be unable to. And Ashley is familiar enough with his Gifted individuals (hunting them in the past), that he'd probably have a pretty strong suspicion that she is one?

@matthew & John Whitlock They'd probably absolutely be aware of each other! I like the idea of a wildfire or hunter attack, Matthew and Elizabeth would definitely struggle to get four pups to safety in the event of danger, especially if one of the older two panicked and ran off by themselves. @sasha & Ashley Wolfe This could be really interesting! Sasha is always scared of being identified as a Gifted, and has killed hunters who targeted them in the past, something they don't really regret but also do kind of wish hadn't been necessary. It could end up with Sasha determining that Ashley is a threat for knowing their secret though, and Sasha tends to get violent with possible threats haha Rinse

[attr="class,"rinse-plotreply"] Awesome! I'm down for either the wildfire or the Hunters. If we go with the wildfire, I think it'd make the most sense for John if it's already been going on for a while? Like firefighters are already working to try and contain it, no one is missing/in critical condition, so he can kinda be free to just be scouting around in case there are stragglers. I think either of us could start in this scenario. If you wanted me to give it a go, I could begin with John running around and coming across Matthew (or maybe even one of the lost pups)? If we go with the Hunters, I'm down for anything. John would be particularly feral and ruthless if Hunters are involved. If you wanted me to start it, I could start it in a full-blown fight between him and maybe a small group of them? Fighting through wounds and being an absolute savage. Then Matthew could hop in for support. Or, vice versa, if you wanted to start, John could happen upon Matthew being attacked. Or maybe John's already aware that there are Hunters in the woods and he's stalking them but realizes they're heading in the direction of Matthew's territory so runs off ahead to warn him, plan a possible ambush, or just gives off a warning howl to alert him or something idk, etc. I actually think it'd be cool if Sasha saw Ashley as a threat and/or got violent. Dealing with Gifted in the past (and knowing full well about the dangers of Hunters), I think he'd somewhat be wary of that possibility and certainly not fault them for it. And they both sort of share that past reluctance/wishing it hadn't been necessary to kill people who threaten their lives. As soon as he realized Sasha is a shapeshifter, he'd very likely be immediately willing to let them go. Or be concerned about them. But perhaps revealing that he knows would still be too much for Sasha to risk? I don't mind an attack and Ashley getting pretty wounded, trying not to turn to that "my life is in danger, it's kill or be killed" sort of thinking he's embraced his whole life. If you're down for the thread, I am! If not, though, totally okay! c: If you are, would you like me to whip up a starter (Ashley probably responding to the call and making his way to the shelter to see Sasha), or would you like to?

@matthew & John Whitlock I think the fire plot sounds pretty fun! Maybe the fire changed directions unexpectedly to threaten Matthew's den? John could run into Elizabeth running ahead with one of the younger kids (Arian and Claire are only four months old, too young to walk yet), and she could tell him about Matthew trying to carry the other four month old while also herding two four year olds. @sasha & Ashley Wolfe Sounds good to me! If you could make the starter that'd be great please ^^ Rinse

@matthew and Seth Perry On one of her hikes, I feel like Seth might venture too close to Matthew's den. She'd be super respectful and not bother them, but might want to watch them for a little while. Also, they could have interactions while he was hunting or something. Whatcha think?

@matthew & Seth Perry That could be really interesting! Maybe one or the other could reveal their power accidentally (self-defence if Matthew is protecting his den from a potential threat, or accidental if maybe one of Matthew's children shifted in front of Seth)?

@matthew and Seth Perry I like the idea a lot. She would be so surprised! She would be likely to try to run off (ESPECIALLY if she'd used her ability in front of them), not even thinking about the fact that duh, wolves can run faster.
