Pondering (Open)

[Lucky Jr]

"Hey it's okay, no harm done." Lucky jr said to Claudius, he blinked catching a familiar scent from him. "Hey, you smell like my dad Lucky Sr." he said to Claudius before getting another familiar scent from him. "And my mom Two-Tone's scent too. Wait you couldn't be one of my littermates could you?" he asked the slower witted pup

[Tally]

"My own fault." Tally shrugged awkwardly. "I wasn't looking where I was going." Shaking sand out of her fur, she looked over to Lucky as he spoke. "How can you not know your own littermates?" she asked him, puzzled.

[Lucky Jr]

"Well me and my siblings met up with a pup what was our littermate from a different reality." Lucky jr explained to Tally before turning to Claudius again.

[bella]

Bella smiles glad to know no one was really hurt. Bella had met so many pups that she had never even saw before. Bella loved to meet new people and pups.

[Claudius]

"Yeah, them's my mom and dad's names." Claudius said slowly to Lucky Jr. He was a little puzzled by the pup's strange response. Hadn't he been asked that before by someone....? Or was he imagining things. "I guess we could be brothers....but I don't remember you." He was sure he knew all of his OWN siblings.....Lucky Jr. wasn't one of them. But he looked an awful lot like Dad...

(Two-Tone, I'm not sure if it's even possible for Lucky Jr. to smell his parents on Claudius o.O It's not like they make regular contact if at all, and even if it was just that he was their pup I'm still not sure he'd be able to smell that..)

[Cassius]

Cassius's nose pinpointed his current target: a rat nibbling on discarded sandwich. Fangs bared, the Dalmatian silently stalked the rodent, using his nose and ears as a guide. Once his paws were able to detect the beast's movements, the Dalmatian sprang and caught the rat by the throat. Flinging it against a rock, Cassius attacked the wounded rodent and killed it with a swift bite to the neck. Satisfied with his kill, the Dalmatian took the corpse between his paws and chewed on it.

Ears detected voices and the rat was soon forgotten. Annoyed over the disturbance, Cassius left his kill and followed the noise. He unintentionally bumped into a tree and mentally cursed himself for his recklessness. Being blind was never easy, but Cassius considered it a poor excuse.

Once Cassius was sure the owners of the voices could see him, the pup sat down and scratched the back of his ear as if he owned the place. And as far the three-toned pup was concerned, he did own the place. "Who are you?" he demanded in an icy voice, the type that naturally sent chills down one's spine.

[Tally]

"Aaargh!" Tally couldn't help the horrified yelp that escaped her muzzle on seeing the pup with no eyes. She stared, repulsed by the sight, yet unable to look away. "You... Y-y..." was the best she could stammer out, powerless to tear her eyes away from the new arrival's own missing ones.

[Claudius]

Claudius was hardly phased by the strange new pup's appearance. After all, most of his own siblings had strange markings and birth defects. Two missing eyes was nothing special to him. He stared at the new arrival blankly for a moment, tilting his head to the side, before smiling and wagging his tail.
"Hey there I'm Claudius. Whut's yer name?"

[Cassius]

The shrill voice of a female nearly caused Cassius to flinch. Curling his lip, he faced the direction of her voice. Before the blind pup could snap at her, a second voice drew his attention. His name sounded oddly familiar, but Cassius thought little of it. He refused to concern himself with such petty matters. "I believe I was the one asking the question, but I'll humor you, Claudius. My name is Cassius." Dalmatian remained seated, but kept his empty sockets facing the group ahead. It was almost as if Cassius could see the figures before him. "Are you Dalmatians?"

[Lucky Jr]

"Matter of fact we are." Lucky jr answered in a tone that would have been reminisent of his father. He looked at Cassius and blinked noticing his face, more rather the scars over where his eyes should be. "Hey what happened to your face? You look like a Doberman pincher or a Rottwieller or a pitbull got to you." He said unaware of Cassius' origin

[Charm]

Charm had been watching the scene. The new pup that arrived had scared the young pup. She got closer to her brother. "Lucky, he scares me." she said quietly looking up at her older brother. "Something's not right."

[Lucky Jr]

Lucky jr nodded as he kept close to his younger sister. "Stay close." he told her as he remembered how Fantine attacked Charm, he wouldn't let that happen again. He wished Beyonca was around to lend a paw.

[Cassius]

Cassius turned in the direction of the third voice with a feral snarl. "What happened to my face?!" he repeated angrily. For a moment, it would seem the blackened Dalmatian would fly off the ground and pumble the insolent other to a bloody pulp. But then the strange thing calmed himself and offered an eerie smile. "I'll tell you what happened." he said in a much calmer voice. "All dogs are born blind. In my weakened form, I longed to see the world on my own and I wasn't satisfied with the time limit. I wanted to be the first to see the world for myself; the world my elder siblings described." Cassius's amused voice suddenly diminished to a bitter tone. "I decided to open them for myself. At first, I only succeeded in rubbing my eyelids. Then I learned to unsheathed my claws. I used them to dig underneath the eyelid and pry them open. Unfortunately, my paws slipped and I unintentionally shredded my underdeveloped eyes." A humorless chuckle was offered. Though Cassius refused to mope over the loss of his sight, he hated the fact that his foolishness left him defected.

Ignoring the other voices, Cassius continued speaking. "However, I learned that I was indeed strong. I created my disability, thus I can inflict similar wounds on others." Cassius unsheathed his claws. "Mother always told me I looked hideous. And Father was never around to throw in his two cents." The Dalmatian crept closer to the group, using his nose and ears as a guide.

[Charm]

Charm instinctively backed away. She didn't like this pup one bit. "Uhh that's nice." she said back to the pup. "Lucky, next time don't challenge him." she hissed at her brother.

[Lucky Jr]

Lucky jr nodded, Cassius sounded nuts. "And who are your parents?" He asked. He stood beside Charm just incase he flipped like Fantine did
