Welcome to Canis Major

a wolf and animal rpg (role-playing game)

Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre.

For @Desdemona <3


 Rain beat off of his pale coat as he patroled this afternoon, like tiny harmless bullets falling from the sky -- each one colder and slicker than the other. His pelt took the brunt of the damage and began sticking against his muscles and skin, but the feeling wasn't exactly uncomfortable in what was otherwise a hot afternoon moments ago. it did make sniffing out anything that might've approached nearby difficult, though.

 At peace with the sound of rainfall and the coolness it brang to the air, a content sigh left the nostrils of his leathery nose as he lifted his muzzle towards the darkened sky with closed eyes.

Spring was always filled with the yet-bloomed saplings, and the constant downpoor. Summer was known for the hot and sunny days, a full bloom of beauty of the flowers.. Then fall was the dying times, the lowering of temperature ; and yet somehow, she encountered quite a lot of rain as soon the autumn was settling in. She marched through the mountain, coming back from a momentum patrol and was going to seek some shelter.. Though chuffed at the male ahead - clearly smelling of Empyrean.

  • Mild Gore
 Through the sounds of rain beating against the ground came footsteps, and the Tundrian’s gaze slowly fell upon a body carrying the scent of Empreayn….and froze. As soon as he studied the muddy hues of her coat and the jade in her dark-colored eyes, his ears fell back and the male’s face warped into something unreadable. Images flashed through his mind before he could process what they’d meant -- a mangled body, and a bird picking the flesh out of a corpse’s eye socket.

 Ignis felt himself bite down hard on his lip in an effort not to retch from such violent imagery, and shook his head in an attempt to shake them away -- what the fuck was that? Something had been terribly off about him ever since traveling to this mountain -- seeing these faces that looked so familiarly unfamiliar….he was going crazy, surely. Maybe he ate some rotten carcass meat and it was screwing with him, but the male chose to ignore it.

 “Heya,” The boy greeted with a single sway of his tail, letting out a single shaky breath to try easing his nerves. He didn’t need all of Empyrean knowing that he was going nuts right now….

"You seem upset." She pointed out nonchalantly as his figure in the distance brooded. Though he tried to sly his way to a friendly attire, it wasn't hard to see his mood shifting from a gloom of doom to a fake pleasantry. She wasn't the most sociable wolf, and at times social norms were not well-known.. It didn't sit right for someone to try and fake their way into conversations. She abhorred those who were fake above all else, remembering faintly a long time ago a two-faced man who left their Kingdom to join an enemy, and claimed to be but a 'spy.' She knew it was all a false, even if there was no evidence, all that his words were a contradictory. 

Desdemona silently looked at the fellow, staying a distance away.
