Redhawk Caldera pumpkin patch party — packtivity

Somnia already liked her new pack, although she had only joined a little under a week ago. Fox had greeted all of them separately, and it made her feel like already she more than just another pack member. After the wolves she knew, the wolves she didn't know came. A golden wolf greeted her, calling her 'mystery babe', before continuing to tell her that he'll acquaint with her soon. All Somnia did was nod, not sure of how to respond to the wolf with the uncommon speech patterns. Luckily Fox introduced Somnia to Ashton.

Another wolf showed up after Ashton. By listening to Fox's greeting, Somnia learned his name was Fitz. Next, Fox started the announcements. There was another wolf, named Finley, who would become Beta when she got back to the pack. Second, Fox told them that they were each to pull their own weight as well as help each other, which was fine by Somnia, as she was already planning to. Lastly, the alphas wanted to have pups. The jet-black alpha added in that the orange things called pumpkins were edible, and suggested that they try to earn a trade. She also noticed that sometime during Fox's announcements an older wolf had straggled in.

Somnia was already planning out what her trades would be. She would go after Gamekeeper first, and then she would try to pursue Councilor. The last trade, she wasn't quite sure what to do. She knew why she wanted to pursue the first two trades, but couldn't seem to match up anything else that she like with a trade. It didn't bug Somnia at the time; the first two would occupy her while she figured out what the third should be.

Practically bouncing around in excitement, she let out three excited barks of encouragement. Somnia then found a pumpkin, and learned from watching others how to get inside. Once inside, she found the pumpkin to be a bit weird.

First off, it was icy and cold from the weather. Besides that, the taste wasn't too bad, but she definitely preferred meat. Plus, she couldn't decide whether she was supposed to eat the seeds or not. Somnia had tried one, but it didn't have the same fruity taste as the half-frozen gooey stuff. She still proceeded to lick up the gooey stuff, not wanting to waste food when it could be scarce this winter. She spit out any disobedient seeds that ventured into her mouth.

Somnia was about halfway done with her pumpkin when something bumped into her rear end. Letting out a surprised yip, she turned around with pumpkin goop all over her face. Ashton was there with a pumpkin over his head. Somnia started guffawing at the sight, although not exactly sure why it was so funny. "It looks great on you," she teased, "You just have to put in two holes for eyes, and then, you can go around making enemies fall before you from laughing so hard!"
