The Den

[KaneQuicktail]

A tall snow leopard stood in front of Pier 344's warehouse. The door was slightly ajar, just wide enough for a person to slip through. Leaning against the building, he reached into the pocket of his black cargo pants, and pulled out a cigar and matchbox. With a strike, he ignited a match, puffing on the cigar to get it alight. He looked up at the roof of Deck 19, cracked and leaking, with disappointment.


"You can come out, DS doesn't venture this far down the rabbit hole."

A Wolf-Fox named Murph climbs down a ladder on the side of the warehouse. After dismounting the ladder, he walks over to the snow leopard.
"Can't be too careful. Spent my days with crosshairs between my eyes for a while."
The leopard looks at him, taking a long drag from his cigar.
"I heard you're recruiting. I'm not one to brag, but I've got a steady trigger pull. You probably know that I've been supplying weapons for the cause. Well, I'm ready to fight. I wanna help."
The leopard stops and puts out the cigar.

*yawns as on top of a crate behind the two lies a smaller wolf who's eyes burn through the darkness of a flickering light* "So this is the resistance? seems kinda small if you ask me, names Mitch." *he would stand up and walk over shaking dust and soot off his tattered T-Shirt and jeans*

[KaneQuicktail]

Nathaniel puffs out some smoke, chewing on his cheap cigar. He looks over the two recruits, sizing them up.


"Murph right? Yeah I heard about you. Every little bit gets us that closer to Deck 1. And yes, this seems small, but it's much bigger. This is just the recruiting station."


He flicked some ash on the ground and puffed on his cigar again.


"Name's Nathaniel, Nate for short. We'll get started as soon as the other recruits arrive."


He looked around watching for any others.

[austinm67]

"Alright Nate, well are we in need of supplies of any kind?" *Would look around as well taping the crate with his left paw* "Also glad to meet you Murph."

[NautilusWolf]

"Don't look at me, my customers bring me surplus, I fix 'em or make new weapons, and resell." Murph said with a matter-of-fact tone.
"My only personal weapon is my knowledge on any firearm I pick up. I try to lay low. Carrying a weapon will only make DS suspicious... Although, my workshop is a hop, skip, and a jump north of here."

[austinm67]

"well, my only real tactic is too look for any weak points, Though I've never needed to fight but I've trained using varius pipes" Mitch said as he kicked the box open packing peanuts falling out as he then proceeded to sit down and relax. "This whole place will come apart if we don't try and do something soon, i heard on the south side of town people all over have varius illnesses all of which i try to avoid."

[NautilusWolf]

As Mitch was talking, a frantic dog, probably a beagle, rushed to Nate.
"Nate! It's the two other recruits! They were talking about the resistance, and they we're put into custody by the DS! I'm the only one to escape!" The beagle had sat down on the ground in front of Nate in a huddled position, holding his head.
"Nate, sir, what do we do?" Murph asked.

[Shadis]

*While the beagle talks frantically, a dark wolf emerges from the shadows wearing a black trench coat, holding a medium-sized box. He speaks in an unrefined voice* "Uh- excuse me, but is this the recruiting grounds for the Black Paws? I... I seek them"

[KaneQuicktail]

Nate looks over the wolf.

"You've come to the right place. I'm Nate and this is Mitch and Murph."

He tapped out the cigar on a gloved hand.

"We'll wait a few more minutes for any others and then we'll get started on you guys' training."

[Shadis]

"Th-thank you, Mister Nate. A pleasure to meet you all. I brought everyone a gift, if that's alright. I wasn't sure how open the recruitment was here, and I really wanted in, and since food is scarce down here, I managed to... scavenge these..." *I offer the box to Nate* "Some food rations. Not much, and it certainly won't do for taste, but it's enough to provide a meal or two for us all. It was either we use it, or the Den Security uses it, and they certainly don't lack for food"

[austinm67]

"Seems like we just need a few more, But what is your name." looks over the wolf at the moment as keeps to where i am sitting,

[NautilusWolf]

Murph breaks his own concentration while he worked on schematics for a weapon.
"Speaking of training, what's that like? if you don't mind me asking. I want to get right into the fight! I wanna-!" Murph stops himself.
"Sorry, I get ahead of myself sometimes." He says looking back down at his schematics with pencil in hand, scribbling frantically.

[KaneQuicktail]

"Eaaaasy there, we'll get started with the training now. It looks like you're all that showed up. Oh well, every able body helps."

Nate motioned for them to enter through the warehouse.

"First, lets get you all equipped. We've got uniforms, weapons, and field supplies." He pointed over at a table in the dimly lit building.

"Let's get you guys lined up after you put your uniforms on, then we'll proceed."

The uniforms were rather plain. Dark brown cargo pants, a leather backpack, and a dark brown hoodie with a black paw spray painted onto it. The weapons on the table were all side arms, there were a few revolvers, but mostly pistols.

[austinm67]

" Hmm." Mitch paused for a moment already in his outfit. " well, ive never fired a gun before. Im used to swords or pipes, But i guess this will work." He picked up a Taurus Model 4510 .45 loading it and looking down the sights.
