* @Crys comes up onto up onto deck, wearing his ultilkilt and black t-shirt following behind Talia and Rasha. He looks...grumpy.
* Jay-ooc is now known as Viktor
* Tameh comes walking from the back half of the ship, a half drank bottle of rum in her hand. She moves slowly and dilberately over towards Kazumi. Slides her arm around her cousins waist and just lays her head on the woman's shoulder.
* Tameh is now known as Thora
<Talia> Uncle Dave
* Talia looks behind her...
* Honey looks to the explosion of people that all of a sudden appeared at once
<Talia> Uncle Crys
* @Crys smiles at Talia, nodding to the young girl
<Kazumi> "Crys, good evening.... how do you do tonight?" She asked, raising an eyebrow as Thora came over, but nodding to her, putting an arm around the woman, offering whatever strong form of comfort she could.
* Viktor makes his way onto the deck
<Tanner> ::Tanner is behind Crys frowning slightly as he is walking behind the Den Father his head slightly down::
* Pierce follows up not far after Viktor, the tattooed teen leaning on his quarterstaff as he comes to rest on the deck.  He offers a little finger-wave to Talia, Rasha, Kazumi, Honey, the Den Parents, and especially Aidan who he makes his way towards.
* Thora looks up at Kazumi, staring at her cousin for a moment, then looks back out at the water. "You are allowed to come to Vegas too, ya know."
* Talia squeezes Rasha's hand, stepping closer to her
* @Crys looks at Tanner. (JV) Call the other cubs, and Viktor. Howl for them.
* Aidan raises an eyebrow
* Tanner nods as he shifts to lupus as he howls "Viktor Rhya; Aidan, Maggie, Pierce.. Come to deck"
* Honey she smiles warmly to Pierce and offers a wave, then glances up towards Crys and winces just slightly at his voice.
* Rasha puts her free arm around Talia, looking down at her with a reassuring expression.
* Aidan looks at Tanner
* Tanner than shifts back up to Homid as he is standing slightly behind Crys looking around
* SNB finds a spot to observe what's going down.
* Pierce came up to the deck not a moment too soon, just in time to greet a few people before hearing the howl.  He glanced curiously at Aidan, and then hopped-to, his quarterstaff tapping along until he was standing in front of Crys and Tanner.  "Present," he says quietly.
<@Crys> (JV)Tell tehm whay you asked me?
* Viktor makes his way over, seems like as good a thing to be involved with as any.
* Kazumi supposes that answers that, and she looks from Crys back to Thora. "This is going to sound trite, Thora, but I'm a warrior. I'd rather die than back out of this fight."
 Tanner swallows hard.. "I asked to give them a weekend pass to be with the ones they loved; to enjoy the weekend to relax, be able to drink, and enjoy the touch of those they have had sex with before the rule came back in effect because of me. While I pick up their chores and do extra as payment"
* @Crys nods...look at Viktor and then the other cubs. (JV) So did you hear that?
* Kazumi looks fairly impressed with Tanner's idea, and nods. Even if the answer is no, the intent is respectable.
* Thora just slides her other arm around Kazumi as well, hugging her around the middle and just leaning into her. Nodding her head at Kazumi's answer. "Oh, I knew that is what you would say. But I had to voice it."
* Sweetthang is now known as Keelia
* Rasha looks from Crys, to Tanner, then back.  He just quietly nods, smiling just slightly.
* Keelia came back up the stairs, as she headed over and moved to Rasha to lean back against her once more. Still quiet as she had been earlier, letting her gaze wander over the people that were gathered.
* Aidan just shakes her head a little
<Rasha> ((doh, wrong character.))
* Kazumi nods, and kisses the top of Thora's head. "I know I'm Jingwei, Thora, dropping my pebbles in the sea, but I have to try. Anyway.... cub business afoot." She goes silent, stroking Thora's hair with one hand.
* Pierce looks from Crys, to Tanner, then back.  He just quietly nods, smiling just slightly.
* Keelia just leans on the railing then!
* Rasha is also there, however, and puts her arm around Keelia, her other hand holding Talia's as they watch the cub squad.
* Keelia leaned in against Rasha for the time being as she watched Crys and Tanner mostly. She'd missed the first part of what was happening, so she'd have to get Rasha to fill her in because quite frankly she was a little clueless.
* @Crys looks at Tanner and then just starts to smack him, open handed, side to side, up to down, (JV)"No, no, no, no!" He gives him one more smack and grabs his shirt. (JV)"You don't get it, do you? Your punishment is to live with the fact you did this. They got punished. I got punished, and lost my rank. And you...well, you got off basicaly scott free. And you want to know why?
* @Crys Because sometimes that happens. Believe me I know what its like to see better people get put down around you. To know you don't get that last moment with them and this is just your life!"
* Viktor wiggles his ear with his finger a little as if to try to clear it.
* Aidan leans back against the railing, just watching
* Thora lets go of Kazumi so she can subtly shield her ears, making it look more like she is strugging to get her hair out of her face with the.. wind.
* Tanner gets macked and smacked again as the open handed strikes hitting him over and over.. the Ahroun just got done meditating as his rage starts to build slightly as he bites down trying to keep a hold of himself
* Pierce had -almost- got his phone out of his pocket, but quickly withdrew his hand, his lips parted, and he looks down.  As if slightly ashamed that he'd thought it would go any other way.
Keelia frowned as she watched Crys and most wouldn't have a clue as to why. It wasn't his actions, shockingly enough, but rather his words, that drew that deep frown and look of sadness across her usual happy features and it wasn't for Tanner's sake but rather Crys.
* Aidan doesn't look even a little surprised by the outcome
* Rasha just winces slightly.  "So much for that."
<Tanner> ::The Cub gets smacked over and over as Crys makes a public show of this as the Ahroun holds a steel tight grasp over his rage not speaking not arguing just taking it as he gets a lesson in humility::
* @Crys sighs and looks at him. "Allright, I'm gonna try this one more time. Cubs! 10 laps around the boat. Double time! Viktor will you hurry them along, while Tanner gets to sit here and eat a bowl of ice cream."
* Viktor nods
* Viktor shifts to Hispo, <L> MOVE YOUR ASSES!
* @Crys looks at Keelia and taps his temple.
* Honey just glances towards Crys for a long moment
* Viktor invokes his inner COURAGE WOLF
<@Crys> (jv)Oh!  Homid only for Cubs!
* Kazumi frowns, and looks down, kissing the top of Thora's head again, having nothing really to say at this moment, and feeling overcome by an awkward sensation. "Let's go below." She murmurs, and heads down to the mess.
<Rasha> "May I please shif-" and he yelps slightly as Viktor's booming growl cuts him off, hefting his quarterstaff, he immediately starts running in whichever direction he's currently facing.
<Rasha> ((fuck!!))
<Pierce> "May I please shif-" and he yelps slightly as Viktor's booming growl cuts him off, hefting his quarterstaff, he immediately starts running in whichever direction he's currently facing.
* Aidan lets out a sigh, but aside from that, she makes no complaint, starting her laps
* Thora looks really confused by what is happening on the deck, nodding to Kazumi and following.
* Keelia just slouched in against Rasha as she gave a small little nod to Crys as he tapped his temple. Though she glanced towards Tanner and just glared daggers at him. Oh she didn't dare speak, she knew better, but the look she gave him said more than her words ever would. After a brief pause she moved away from Rasha and headed for the stairs, vanishing below deck.
* Viktor chasing the Cubs, barking orders, literally nipping at their heels, despite the size and fur it doesn't seem he is breaking a sweat and could probably go way faster.
* Rasha gives Keelia a little squeeze, looking to her with yellow eyes before the kinfolk leaves again.
* @Crys looks at Tanner. (JV) Have a seat."
* SNB nods, taking in the details.
* Tanner looks at Crys and Viktor for a moment as there is that spark of rage and willful pride, but there is also something else in his face as he watches Crys for a moment.. "Your gonna have to shoot me; I wont have Ice Cream while my team runs around the ship.. Den Father. I know what the punishment is for and I realize what is being done.. I had just hoped for a moment for a pass this
* Tanner weekend.. for them.. to remind themselves what we are fighting for." ::the words he trys to say with all the respect he can as he trys to make a stand for the others::
* @Crys nods and draws down on Tanner, popping him in the knee. "Ok? What now?"
* Pierce huffs and puffs.  Try as he might, the scrawny tattooed kid was not built for this, though he presses on for now.
* Viktor sighting his prey Viktor nips his butt
* Keelia came back a moment later with a massive bowl in hand that was heaped with icecream of variying flavors, whipped cream, fruit, candies, chocolates, and topped with cherries and a single spoon within it as well as drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce. Making her way across the deck she headed over towards Crys offering him the heaping bowl that was enough to make even Tanith
* Keelia sell his soul and likely be sick for a month.
* Tanner winces in pain as Crys totally shoots him as there is a growl as he realizes the stand he is trying to make is futile.. as he looks at Crys for a moment.. "Fuck.."
* Pierce yelps and picks up the pace a little as he feels Viktor's teeth.  "EatthefuckingicecreamTanner," he puffs out in a single breath as he runs by.
* Tanner growls again as he sits down.. to eat the ice cream.. realizng he lost this battle
* Aidan runs along with Pierce, muttering "I swear to god, if he doesn't, I will force feed it to him"
* @Crys takes the Icecream from Keelia and then hands it over. "All of it. You're not allowed to leave until its done."
* Tanner picks up the spoon and takes the bowl with a frown.. as he eats the Ice Cream in Protest..
<Keelia> 6All of it... oh god it made her stomach turn when she heard that, because she saw how much icecream her was literally shoveled in that and she just knew that projectile vomiting was soooo gonna be a thing. Remaining next to Crys she said nothing for the moment, just watched.
* Honey jumps, being the only one there besides Keelia that was kin. She looked seemingly uneasy as Crys just shot Tanner
* Tanner picks up the spoon and begins to shovel spoon ful after spoonful of the massive mount of sugarery frozen death into his mouth a dour look on his face as he does so.. Ice Cream used to bring so much joy and pleasure and now.. his one escape.. gone.. that glimmer of childhood bliss when eating ice cream has been washed off his face as he sits there bleeding as he eats.
* @Crys puts the gun away and slips an arm around Keelia, not looking pleased.
* Talia looks ill and looks up at Rasha
* Keelia leaned in against Crys, curling in against his side as she wrapped her arms about him and kissed his cheek. Her concern was clearly him and only him at the moment as she held onto him for the time being, not looking at Tanner, the ice cream, or the blood.
* Rasha pats Talia's head gently.  "Think I get it now," she says under her breath.
* Honey folds her arms over herself as she stays quiet and just watches. If she didn’t look sick before, she was looking greener by the second.
* Pierce runs by again, quarterstaff still in front of him.  The pieces of his face that aren't tattooed black look bright red.
* Talia turns her head into Rasha
* Tanner growls as he begins shoveling faster the wince of brain freeze kicking in as he continues shoveling spoonful after spoonful of surgery death.. over her..
* Viktor leaps on Pierce and sits on him.
<Viktor> You rest, watch ice cream
* Aidan just keeps running
* Tanner winces in pain as he bleeds all over the bowl as he trys to shovel the ice cream faster.. the frown deepening on his face as he does so.
* Kifel-Cooking is now known as Kifel
* Pierce gets tackled to the ground, the quarterstaff clattering out of his hands in front of him.  It hurt a little, but nowhere near the pain his lungs were feeling, and he was grateful for it despite having the weight of the hispo'd Viktor on top of him.  "Thanks-h," he rasped out.
* SNB quietly slips off after observing the details for later.
* SNB (SNB@228-645-259-103.mtco.com) Quit
* Tanner winces as he takes a momentary break as the brain freeze is getting to him as he is trying to shake his head out as the pain is pretty intense as he than goes back to trying to eat the monstrosity
* Keelia remained leaning against Crys as she watched Pierce for a moment and then looked on towards Aidan, feeling bad for the two of them, but still silence as ever. One hand idly rubbing across Crys' shoulder as if she were trying to comfort him.
* Rasha curls her arm a little tighter around Talia and leans down to whisper something to her.
* Viktor rolls on Peirce like he is trying to get an itch.
* Aidan is soooo very greatful she has not been giving a break, she is starting to struggle a bit, slowing down a little
* @Crys suddenly growls, dropping his hand from Keelia, shaking with rage as he strides over to Tanner and just kicks the ice cream out of his hands, spilling it over the deck. (JV) "I AM TRYING TO KEEP YOU ALIVE!" He stalks off, his form rippling as he shifts into crinos, just before Malachi appears behind him and pulls him into the Umbra.
* Pierce just grunts limply as the quarter-ton wolf uses him like a scratching post.
* Crys is now known as Castor
* Pierce then startles at the sudden screech, looking up at where Crys was.  "What th..."
* Keelia didn't look surprised, it was almost as if she had expected it really. Shoulders slumping a bit, there was a glanced towards Malachi and a faint smile as he pulled Crys off before she just silently moved to go and collect the bowl and start picking up the chunks of icecream to throw back into the bowl and start cleaning up the deck.
* Viktor rolls off Pierce with a huff and shifts back to homid.
* Aidan doubles over to catch her breath as she finishes her laps, holding her sides
* Tanner goes to help.. clean up the ice cream.. frowning at Peirce and Aidan and Maggie.. as his idea caused them pain.. as he just mouths Sorry
* Talia nods to Rasha
* Pierce crawls over toward his quarterstaff, and braces it against the deck, using it as a crutch to lift himself back to his feet with a groan.
* Aidan holds her hand up at Tanner, not wanting to hear it, just trying to breath
