all the dogs howling out of key -- open, dual-alliance joiner

[nuclear repository;]

  Why, it appeared that he'd run across the Colosseum- or possibly a replica of it. It was difficult to tell which it was without having ever been to the original before.

  Staring up at the looming arches, the coyote slowly approached, noting the presence of what seemed to be clan scent permeating the area. Hopefully whoever lived here wasn't averse to visitors, provided the visitors in question weren't from enemy clans. (Did RiverClan have any enemies right now? He couldn't remember.) Heck, maybe he could try his paw at a dual alliance, if they didn't mind- he'd never been in one before, but there was a first time for everything. Clearing his throat, he called, "Hello, what group is this?"

[div style="background-color:;border=0px;text-align:justify;width:375px;"]After a delivery of some of her hunting spoils, Minnow was keen to get out of here. the otter wanted to get away from the walls and back to where nature and water could be found as soon as possible. She was also having trouble tracking down her twin, a situation which severely worried the young short clawed otter. She didn't like being separated from the far more fearless twin even though she equally didn't like being dragged every which were by that same twin.

Though keen to make her escape back to places that felt safe, the otter paused when someone spoke. "Stea, Bastion I guess." the shy female answered, watching the stranger carefully. even though the group was multi-species Minnow really wasn't used to that and kept her distance. "I don't know much more than that." she shrugged. Besides the fact that she brought food here once and a while, minnow was rather self sufficient, and did not rely on the group enough to have regular contact with most of the members.

  Fortunately, someone was quick to arrive- an otter, apparently. Glancing over at the smaller creature, the coyote offered her a nod. "Stea Bastion" was an interesting name, although it was a bit strange that she didn't know much more about it. Eh, maybe she was just new. "I see," he answered, tilting his head slightly. "Either way, nice to meet you. I'm Incisor, a member of RiverClan- don't suppose you'd know if Stea Bastion'd be alright with me getting a dual-alliance here?"

  /ish, and late

[div style="background-color:;border=0px;text-align:justify;width:375px;"]Avoidant more than new, Minnow didn't even know many names yet. She'd been introduced to the others in the group, but she forgot them due to lack of exposure to everyone else. she shrugged.  "whats his name should be okay with it." seriously she didn't even remember the leader by name, though she remembered what he looked like. "I think all new paws will be appreciated right now." she wouldn't appreciate them as much as others would, but it would make this place more lively. 
(not as late as some threads I've waited on recently. I'm just sorry no one other than minnow's greeted you yet.)

[TALISMAN]

Talisman quietly scoffed as he came close, appalled that Minnow didn't even remember his name. So much for trying to make a good impression. Glancing to the coyote, he offered a polite bow. "Incisor, was it? It's nice to meet you. I'm the King of Stea Bastion. My name is Talisman." he mewed, before gently tilting his head, glancing his striking emerald eyes at him. "I suppose being a dual-alliance member is fine, but if there were to be a fight, what would you do?" he asked, tilting his head.

[nuclear repository;]

  "What's-his-name?" It struck him as odd that a member of a clan wouldn't know the leader's name, no matter how new they were, but he supposed it didn't matter. Glancing over at the other male as he approached, though, the coyote dipped his head in acknowledgement. "Pleasure's all mine, sir," he responded, raising his head.

  At the question, he glanced off to the side and thought for a moment- that was a good question, what should he do in a situation like that? Turning and fighting RiverClan would be an act of betrayal, but he couldn't very well go against Stea Bastion either,
and lying wouldn't get him anywhere. Finally, he looked back at the king and nodded. "I would attempt to break up the fight," he answered, flicking an ear, "but if that were not possible, I would not harm Stea Bastion or any of its members- you have my word." That was probably the best course of action, he figured; pacifism and mediation had proven to be even more effective than fighting, at times.

  /suddenly, character exploration
  /I love little moments like this tbh

[div style="background-color:;border=0px;text-align:justify;width:375px;"]The otter didn't think herself so much as a member of the clan, than as a resident sharing the land. Minnow made an atempt to slip away. She felt awkward among cats and canines and Talisman could handle the new face therefore she figured her presence was no longer needed, and she could go back to the water where she felt she belonged. (Not if someone came up with some reason why she should stay around,  but her more exploration driven sister wasn't here at the moment to push Minnow on that matter.)

[TALISMAN]

Talisman nodded quietly listened to his response, but he sighed. "I appreciate your pacifism, but I'm sad to say that I don't think negotiations are that easy in some situations." he mewed solemly, tempted to bring up the wars he'd seen when he was younger, but he shook his head. "Anyway, feel free to come and go as you please."
