Plot For the coming Season

I want to hear what a few of you may think would be a few good plot lines to work on as our site grows older and gets more participation. I may be a blooming writer, but I am only one Dracor so I cannot think of everything~
I want to see some ideas! I'll collaborate with different people at different times about working plot points and progression, so while we hash out the ideas more we're following the tail ends of another.
I'll select at random and think of my own too, so be prepared for anything.
Don't give away your whole idea though, just give me a basic bit here to see so it's a surprise to everyone else!
Many people like surprises!

You'll be glad to know we're not just randomly wandering higgilty piggilty. There is a direction in which I am taking you, and as your captain on this fine adventure I am not going to give you the details.

Surprises are more fun that way besides simply holding interest, annnnnd it keeps you in relation to your characters: second guessing, wondering and questioning everything and everyone around you. Who did what, why and where! Some many know, others may pretend to know, some will tell you the truth about what they are aware of, if you ask or barter. Each persons character will have it's reasons for speaking with you about anything, it's up to you to decide if the information is important or not and if said character is lying to you.
Have you come to know your pack some? Do you know their motives and wants, hates and dreams? These things may be important, as much so as finding the information on the rival pack.

Season will be changed more so this week and the week following.
Fall here in the Break Ridge Valley come fast and leaves quickly in the face of Winter.
Leaves change and drop at a surprising rate, and snow showers may commence, but not stick just yet. Watch out for falling acorns! There is a flock of geese that migrate over the Mountains into the Valley, and rest for a few days at the lake. It will be posted when the Geese are flying over. For that is a time in which the CR and SH are willing to tolerate one another for the good of their packs and hunting for Winter.

I don't want you to drop what you are doing because of this change, but make flexibility in being aware that things are happening. We're here for long term so try to get rolling long posts about the things you've noticed, and how your character is feeling, or what they are in the mood for.
Continue to work on any little plot bunnies you're breeding, there are always stories within stories. What I'm brewing is simply a larger story in which all our stories join together in a wonderful melting pot of fun~

Note on Breeding:
Any females who've mated mid summer are showing signs now, though not enough to be a burden or trouble yet. Those who were later (such as Tris, for example) are not as yet, give it a week or so.

As fall starts we are aware of the season change. Temperature is dropping. If you can, when you reach night try to skip forward a day or two. Pelts are growing thicker, and small mammals less easier to find. Hope you've been gathering. Since it's first winter for our board most likely you will not be starving to death because it's an allowance that you had some food stored away.

Have you been watching? Take heed of new faces Wolves and fellow beasts, for we're watching you with sharp sharp eyes. We see everything you do. We're watching you Shadow Hive, we're watching Cross Roads too. We're going to give you what you've got coming...and we'll be coming soon.

I will give you no warnings, the world does not work like that, why should I? hunt down the answers, and stay alive.

(presently 1:48 pm EST. I will be home around 10:00 pm EST, in which under certain circumstance what you are going to read does become permanent. UNTIL 10:00pm this scenario written below does not exist, and is not set in stone, should this message be deleted for whatever reason, you've never saw one was here.)

Cross Roads beloved Alpha Male and father to be be, Aethon, former wanderer and Alpha of four months out of his five in the pack has gone Missing in Action. Since it has been nearly a month of his disappearance, roughly around the same time as Ignis, the Beta Female, it may be assumed that they have left together. With Winter coming things will be hard for the Alpha Female to be alone with pups and her grooming Alphess to be.
Beta Male is dead, Gamas are present, but Alpha and Betas are needed to continue to survive as a pack. Tris will be out of commission with her pups in the late winter.
This is a delicate situation and time.....

There is much at stake...

A New Alpha male is needed and the trial to become it is hard. Tris will accept no random strangers, only existing pack members. She won't accept just anyone, for she fears for the lives in her Belly. She may turn you down now, but may accept you later. Win her love, win her trust. Be a Beta even if that is not your title to show that you can and do love your pack and home.
The noose is tightening folks...

Winter's got some sharp teeth.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

What I am telling you is this...DO NOT ask for the position of Alpha or Beta. You can try for it, but bare in mind you are dealing with a pregnant female that may attack you if you seem like a threat. Trying to hard is a good way to get hurt. Pestering to much is a good way to get hurt. The later into the winter season, the more likely Tris is going to be Alpha on her own until late spring. She will appoint Betas. Bare in mind, Beta must be a mated pair.
If you are making someone new, they better have a deep history in Cross Roads.
Cross Roads history tells there were 10 wolves here before, Tris only being ONE who was young, and Whisper being the lone survivor of the first Alpha pair after the pack was established. You can have ties to the remaining wolves, one or two may even still be alive, though they would be four years older than they were at the time.

Alpha and Beta are demanding Roles. Blitz and I, as Alphas of the main playing packs, have to frequently be aware of what is going on so it demands your time. If given Alpha I hope to see you on and replying at least once a day, or every other day.
Betas...it's a hopeful expectation that you keep Alphas updated and informed if you think they have missed anything, or what your take on something may be.

It is now 11:07 pm, since no word has been heard from either Alpha Male or Beta Female those positions are not vacant. Feel free to try to win the mourning Alpha's paws, but bare in mind there is a larger plot at hand!
