Nigel stepped off the bus, the edge of his cloak catching on the door. "Oop!" He said as he tripped and fell on his face.
"You okay down there?" Griffin asked.
"I'm good." Nigel said, standing up and dusting himself off.
Griffin stepped off the bus and looked around. "Hmm... are you sure this the right place?" he asked.
"Positive." Nigel said, "It says so right here 'Redmoon pack: the largest pack in North America and one of the largest in the world. Located in southern Montana. Shunned by most pure-blood packs because it accepts nearly all who try to join, be they half-breeds or even bitten.'" Nigel pointed to the phrase in his book.
"How can you be sure they haven't moved somewhere else?" Griffin asked, "That book is pretty old..."
"I've got a good feeling about this town." Nigel replied.

[suspicaman]

"The town is pretty small though. I don't think we'll have much luck." Griffin said "I think we would have better luck in a south eastern state, like Tennessee."

[Mike]

"We should check out the town." Nigel said, as he started to walk down the street, "You never know, we might just run into them."
"I doubt it..." Toshiro said, but he followed anyway.
"So you really can tell, just by the smell, who is a werewolf and who isn't?" Nigel asked.
"The answer is the same as the last 400 times you've asked. Yes. I can." Toshiro answered.
"Coooool..." Nigel said, "Can you smell any now?"
*sigh* "The same as the last 400 times you asked No. I ca--" Toshrio stopped in his tracks suddenly.
"What is it?" Nigel asked.
"I... can smell werewolves..." He said slowly.

BACK IN THE BAR!!!

"One please!" Carly said holding up her fake ID.
"One what?" asked the bartender.
"One of everything." Carly responded, "Duh."
"Er..."

[Flarga]

"you know, that ID is an obvious fake..." the bar tender said looking at Carly.
"..." Carly looked at him. "lets just forget about that fact, eh?" she whispered sliding him a Hundred dollar bill. The bar tender looked at the bill, then at Carly. "that isn't even enough to pay for all the alcohol you ordered." he said.
"lets forget about that too." Carly smiled sliding him another hundred. "I'm not gonna sell beer to a minor." the bar tender said stubbornly.
"Gerrrrr.... "

[Flarga]

Lashana looked over at the bar and saw Carly grab the bar tender by the collar and whisper something in his ear. She let go and he looked very frightened and nodded to her.
"I wonder where she got all that money..." Lashana heard Ralph say to Mike.
"I bet she mugged someone..." she heard Mike reply.
"I bet she robbed a bank." Ralph said back to Mike.
"Wouldn't put it past her..." Mike nodded.
Lashana shook her head and looked back at Carly who was now receiving beer.

[Flarga]

Two people waked in, mostly unnoticed. Carly had already dank three of her beers and passed most of the rest out; but she still had about five in front of her.

[suspicaman]

"Hey, Griffin, I don't think you're supposed to be in here." Nigel said quietly.
"I'm not going to drink. The scent of werewolf is very strong here. There are at least five." Griffin said. He stopped and smelled the air. "The girl with way too many beers in front of her, she is most definitely one of them."

[Mike]

"What do you mean too many beers?!" Carly shouted suddenly at Nigel, who wasn't even the one saying that.
"Uh--" Nigel started to say that but was interrupted.
"You think I can't handle it?? HUH?" Carly said, getting right up in Nigel's face, causing him to back up into a wall.
"Er well--" Nigel started.
"You. Me. Drinking contest. Now." Carly said, interrupting Nigel again.
"But I'm underage..." Nigel muttered.
"ARE YOU CALLING ME OLD?!" Carly shouted, grabbing Nigel by the collar.
"HEY! Hey!" Griffin, getting in between them. "Let's settle this like adults."
"Exactly! Like a drinking contest!" Carly said, pushing Griffin out of the way, grabbing Nigel's nose and pouring an entire bottle of beer down his throat.

[suspicaman]

"Umm... Carly, he wasn't the one who said you had too many beers." Ralph said feebly.
"Quiet you!" Carly shouted as she threw the empty bottle at his head.
"OW!" Ralph said as he fell off his stool.
"You ok down there?" Mike said, looking down at Ralph.
"Yeah..." Ralph said, rubbing his head, "I forgot about what happens when you get on Carly's bad side..."

[Flarga]

Nigel was still coughing and sputtering from having beer forcibly poured down his throat. "Is that all you can take?" Carly asked smugly, "Pathetic." she shook her head, and then downed an entire bottle in seconds. "Ahhhh! Good stuff." Carly said. She then turned back to Nigel with an evil grin, "Your turn." she said, handing him a bottle.
Nigel looked down at the bottle then back at Carly, "I- I think I've had enough." he said hopefully, attempting to set the bottle on the counter.
"Nonsense!" Carly shouted, grabbing the bottle and pouring it down his throat again.

[Mike]

Mike sighed as he watched Nigel being tortured by Carly, "I'd like to help... but it's better him than me." he muttered, "Carly's much stronger than she looks..."
"Tell me about it." Ralph said, rubbing his head.
"That poor guy." Layla said, shaking her head sympathetically.

Griffin walked up to them and sat down. "Hi." he said.
"Hi?" Mike said, confused.
"Why aren't you helping your friend?" Layla asked
"He'll be fine." Griffin said
"I don't know..." Mike said, "Carly can be pretty dangerous."
"He may not look it, but he's got some werewolf blood in him." Griffin said, "He'll be alright."
"Werewolf?" Aven asked, turning around quickly. Lashana and Simone turned around too. (Yukity was passed out on the floor)
"Yeah." Griffin said calmly, "Just like you guys." he said, "Well most of you anyway. I'm not sure about these two." He said, pointing to Ralph and Mike.
"What makes you so sure that we're werewolves?" Simone asked suspiciously.
"Scent." Griffin said simply, tapping his nose with an index finger.
Layla, Aven, Simone, and Lashana exchanged glances. Mike sniffed himself and shrugged.
"I'm looking for the Redmoon pack. Ever heard of it?" Griffin asked suddenly.

[Mike]

*Redmoon... that sounds familiar for some reason...* Layla thought to herself.
"You mean Bloodmoon?" Mike asked, "Cause that's the name of our pack."
Simone, Aven and Lashana glared at Mike. "Don't go telling everyone you meet about the pack moron!" Simone said, smacking him upside the head.

[suspicaman]

"Oh, so your actually in the pack, I thought you were just some idiot who stumbled upon the pack and became their friend or something. So what are you, a human who happened to get lucky and be allowed into the pack or are you some freak of nature? I can tell that you're defintely not a normal werewolf." He asked Mike.
"Hey, I resent being called an idiot. And just so you know, I'm a werewolf." Mike answered.
"Ah, I see, so you're a freak." Griffin said casually.
"Hey, Shut up!" Mike said angrily.
Griffin decided to change the subject. "Well, I'm sure that it was the Redmoon pack that was centered here and not Bloodmoon, but the book I saw it in was pretty old, something might have happened to the pack, pretty much all the other packs in the book have been wiped out. But Redmoon was the biggest pack in North America, it should have been strong enough to withstand just about anything except a civil war." He explained, trying to trigger any of their memories.

[Mike]

"...I'm not a freak..." Mike muttered in the background. "Ifanyone is a freak it's Ralph. He turns into a freakin' bobcat. I turn into a dog... that's close enough..." *he continues to grumble*

"As far as I know, we're the only pack around here..." Aven said shrugging.
"Yeah." Simone added, "If this pack is as big as you said it is then we'd have definitely heard about it, at least."
Layla scratched her head, "Wait... wasn't Carly from a different pack?"
"Yeah... I think you're right." Aven said, she looked around, "Where is she anyway?"
"Hey Carly!" Simone called.
"Yeooshhh...?" Carly said, appearing suddenly, dragging a semi-conscious Nigel along with her. She sat down at the bar and dropped Nigel on the floor. "Wass ...up?" She asked.
