March 2017

It was a normal morning. The sun shining as I got out of bed. It had been a few years now since my mother had passed away and I had dedicated myself solely to training and taking care of dogs for ACME. I had two so far, Zienna and my Xena. My two partners I had bonded with during my time volunteering before I Joined ACME. It was supposed to be a relax day. Simple, and easy-going. Until the phone rang. I quickly answered it only to quickly go get ready.

I slipped on a jacket over my outfit, placing a hood on before heading out the door. Ebony hair pulled into a loose bun. Wisps floating about my face gently as I hurried to go to the address sent. It had appeared there was a special case of someone keeping wolf-dogs illegally, and one was in horrible shape. My coat was pulled tight as I rushed to the scene. Zienna accompanied me and loped alongside with her long legs. Her long ebony fur drenched just as quickly as I was. The whole place was under investigation and i flashed my badge at them. Stating I was Ivyr, the current ACME K-9 manager and trainer.

As soon as I entered the backyard, my blue eyes widened. It was horrible. The cages… the blood I could see staining the ground and the fence posts around the yard. I quickly saw a group huddled about a body… and brushed by them. Gasping at what I saw. A young wolf-dog, her fur ebony and silver tipped, luxurious surely under the blood that stained it. I knelt and quickly brushed my hand through the fur and shook my head. I was worried she wouldn’t make it.

As quick as I could I managed to shout at someone to bring me a blanket and bundled the wolf-dog up. I staggered to my feet and an officer kindly offered me, Zienna, and our new passenger a ride home. I had taken off my jacket and used that to cover the face, hoping it would help calm the young one if she were to awaken. Something told me I was going to be late into work the next day. I got out and thanked the officer profusely before entering my home. Xena awoke slowly as the door closed and she rushed over only to see my hands full and as always was curious. I simply pushed my two back and laid the bundle on the dog bed.

Her injuries consisted of many raw and open wounds. Gashes, and raw infected cuts along her body worried me. This pup would not live to see the morning. I was positive of that. After a long gruelling night of taking care of those wounds, I fell asleep beside the injured wolf-dog. My fingers laced into her coat… and morning came quickly that day.

I awoke slowly, worried I would find a dead dog on my hands. As my eyes opened, they were met with a stunning two-toned gaze. One amber and one piercing blue orb gazed at me curiously. As I got up, I noticed the wolf-dog tried to follow me everywhere I went. It was already 10 am, I was definitely going to be late to work. I could not lose any job or any position I had. It was all I had to make a living off of. However, as soon as I locked the door, the howling began.

A low, sorrowful howl which cut straight to my heart. Instantly I knew it was my new house guest. I unlocked the door to find the wolf-dog staring at me with wide eyes, her whines getting to me. I picked up the dog and sighed, gently wrapping her in my coat as I left to head to work. I was so going to be late…. Though i wondered what reactions I would get with the little…. Devil with me. Her fur was gorgeous though, luxurious ebony with silver tips that no longer were stained and matted with crimson. I had to think of a name… it was obvious she was attached to me. Haru? Nah…. too guy-like. Faline…. Hmmm nope. Just didn’t seem to fit. I spoke the next option aloud...Hikari. When those two-toned orbs gazed at me in adoration I knew then her name was Hikari. The story and adventures between the two of us however, was just getting started.

I totally love puppies! Did you already have this backstory or did you come up with it on the fly?

this story was one I had in mind after choosing my three pups which 2 have been originally with me since I started at ACME... as for Hikari I knew she was going to be the youngest and so wanted to bring her in .... with a different story which explained her attachment to me and her personality. Though.... between you and me she is a small devil.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
