Shadesbury Town Square

[Idea by Lionpaw]



The Town Square is a busier part of this town. Many shops and businesses are on this road, such as the court house and various stores. You can say it's the shopping district of the town. Many celebrations and festivals are held on this street; and when those take place, this town can get VERY busy! People here are generally quite friendly; and if you're nice enough, the people and vendors in the market might just slip you a snack! Just stay away from the alleys; you don't want to run into anyone shady. More importantly, try to avoid the dog catcher!

She'd slipped away from Killian wanting to do some wandering of her own, she'd find him later when she wanted some more training. He wasn't able to come into the town officially but that wouldn't stop him if he really wanted to come and find her. She wanted to see if she could find a sucker and practice her new tricks, grinning to herself at the thought the rather adorable puppy with its striking pale eyes was about to go and beg for food as two-legs were so easy to fool something distracted her. One of her bent over ears twitched as the sound of a guitar drifted over to her, sticking to the shadows out of habit she followed the sound of the music coming to a halt watching the male play while he had a pup beside him that appeared to be a doberman. Scrawny and fluffy, she listened to the music eagerly, sitting down and scratching one of her bent over ears she sighed softly feeling the mental palace that was constructed in her head relax and her always busy train of thought slowing down. Lying down on the dirty ground hidden in the shadows of an Alley the strange twisted little puppy sighed once more in contentment allowing her piercing eyes flick closed. This was nice, there was nothing like human music, it was the one thing they did better than dogs. The mixed bred wolf-dog lay there listening until the music stopped, once it had she got up and scratched her ear again then after a moment of thought returned to her path to beg some food. As she stepped into the light her behaviour changed not unlike lanas, her eyes became sad as her tail and ears drooped, walking with a faked limp she found a human and sat down making the most piteous puppy whine rewarded for her acting skills she picked up the food and carrying on the facade returned to the shadows to devour the meaty sandwich quite happily.

She'd been in her happy place listening to the music before she'd heard pawsteps and someone batted at her shoulder. She didn't bother to growl having learned from her father that it was better to just straight up make your first move. Pinning the other pup underneath her easily she stared down at him with her strange eyes, the wolf-dog mix snorted easily able to read his face. He's a pet... assessing him as not a threat she remained pinning him down and flicked her gaze to the male playing guitar for a brief moment. The music was nice, but she didn't have time for a two leg pet pup following her around. If the pup wouldn't go away she supposed she could have some fun and play with him, of course her kind of play wasn't the sort he was expecting. At that her blue eyes flicked down to him what to do what to do, so many interesting options for now she opted to remain pinning him down and observe his reactions and go from there - he could be fun to toy with after all.

Keeping the pup pinned underneath her, her pale blue eyes bored into him before she smiled suddenly and stepped off him "Whoops, Sorry!" she murmured tucking her tail guiltily "I've never um properly played with someone before" she explained sweetly coming across as a young pup who'd had a difficult past. Her voice was sweet as she spoke, "I'm Daniella, whats your name? Can you teach me how to play?" the other pup would be easy to manipulate, if she got him to believe they were friends as pups when she returned to her father for more training he'd remember her when they met again. She'd set him up well now, it'd be great fun when she returned as an adult, sitting down she sighed and lowered her head watching him quietly her pale blue eyes watching him beseechingly as if silently begging him to teach her how to play so she could be a normal dog. It was of course an act, but an act so convincing that anyone who did not know her would be taken in by her facade. Brushing her paw over the pavement of the alleyway she swiped her tongue over her nose to keep it damp although it could have been taken as anxious. The doberman didnt strike her as exceedingly smart but an idiot could be loyal as long as they felt that they were wanted

Resisting the urge to duck out of the way and pin him again she managed to allow him to knock her over, at the growl she tensed and when she felt him take her ear reacted violently out of force of habit. Ripping away she pinned him underneath her growling softly, realizing what she'd done she stepped off of him flattening her ears back sadly "I'm sorry... I thought you were going to attack me" she explained still in the facade she'd pulled out of her liars palace. "I come from the fight ring you see" a crocodile tear slipped out of her pretty blue eyes and slid down her muzzle. It was an easy way to explain her reactions that she was still in the process of mastering them, one day she'd be able to order her body to do whatever she wanted it to do, as a pup she still had a long way to go. One day she'd be truly dangerous and manipulate whoever she wanted, she'd defeat Lana and would win the game that was spread out before her. Sitting down she sighed softly and looked away appearing rather gloomy "I don't think i can learn to play, the entire time you were... i was doing my best not to react and hurt you Jory i'm sorry" another few crocodile tears slid down her muzzle sniffling she wiped her muzzle on her leg and looked towards his master again listening to the soothing music that he played. Even in her facade it eased the tensions and cleared her head, looking back at the doberman pup she portrayed a young pup just like him who'd had a run of bad luck, the type who was sweet and alone, a dog that was easy for an idiot like himself to make fast friends with. Ever the manipulator she wove a spell, a facade to pull him under her control and with his lack of braincells it was like stealing candy from a baby.[/color]

Nodding when the other pup suggested listening to the music she sat down again and watched the two leg with his guitar. Not that impressed when he moved closer to her the black pup allowed it, moving away, in fact she moved only to scratch at one of her floppy ears and sat back straight again. Glancing at Jory when he questioned her about music she nodded “I like music very much” she provided, the small sentence provided a gleam to her innerself. “I will be in the town for a little while, since I dont have a collar I cant afford to be caught by the dog catcher so Im not here for very long at a time” it was an easy way to find food without having to hunt. She already had learned how to from her father figure Killian. After that she fell silent quite content to listen to the music and close her pale blue eyes that were set in her pitch black face. Her tail slowly brushed against the pavement to the beat of the music, the sound of it relaxing her and all of the facades she'd created and put together over the course of her short short life. She'd had to be a quick learner, if you werent one you died, it was as simple as that, sighing softly Daniella continued to listen to the soothing music quite content to stay there forever.

The pup was so naive, it would be so tempting to mess him over right now, but no no all good things came to those who wait. She Simply shrugged and opened her eyes to glance up to tell the time, at the sudden change in the sun she was up on her paws, she needed to leave and find Killian. He could explain this to her, flicking her gaze at the pup she spoke “I'll see you around Jory~” Flashing him a warm smile that in all reality was as phony as a decent politician the black german shepherd who had a fair bit of wolf in her her as well as husky turned and padded away dead set on finding her father figure. She put the thought of the idiot doberman behind her for now, and picked up her pace, if the sun was doing strange things then logic dictated that strange things would happen every where else and she had no intent of being caught by the dog catcher and sent back to the ring, she wasn't quite sure if she'd be able to survive that place again.
