The Journey Home


Months have passed since the humans have fled the city. They left overnight, speeding off in their vehicles and taking all of their belongings with them. Everything except for their pets. The land became a dog-eat-dog territory, with once-precious pets fighting tooth and claw for their lives. For the first few months there was nothing but bloodshed, the sounds of vicious fights ringing around every corner. Now, however, things are beginning to balance out. The weakest of the pets left in the city have died off, leaving the rest to pick up the pieces and attempt to pull their lives back together. Different packs have formed, laying claim to separate parts of the city and managing to live in relative peace.

But whispers are spreading throughout the community - rumours of a quarantine facility just over the state border, where the humans are still alive. A small group of dogs, former pets, have gathered, the rumours sparking a hope that their owners may still be out there somewhere.

They aim to journey to this facility together and reunite with their families, but they face a long, perilous road ahead of them. They’ll have to cross through parts of the city claimed by vicious packs, and forests where wild animals have been thriving long before the humans left. Even if they manage to evade their predators, threats such as fatigue and starvation still lurk menacingly in every shadow. With the stakes so high, will the dogs band together and try to get the entire group to the facility alive? Or will the dangers get to them first, driving the dogs to turn on themselves, sacrificing others in the group to ensure their own survival?

Rules
↪ All Lioden RP rules apply.
↪ This roleplay is semi-literate. Each post should be at least six sentences long, using proper grammar and spelling.
↪ For the sake of the plot, I ask that everyone only start with one character. One of the factors which make the journey so dangerous for our characters is the fact that they are such a small group, and wouldn't be able to compete with the other packs in the city.
↪ No perfect characters, please! Your characters should have room for development within the plot.
↪ If a fight breaks out in RP I will roll a die for the outcome, unless you and the owner of the other character have discussed and agreed upon the outcome prior. Don't worry, your character cannot be killed/seriously maimed without your permission!
↪ I want to keep this roleplay active, so please notify me if you're not going to be able to post for a while! After three days of not hearing from you on the OOC or roleplay thread, I will PM you asking if you're still interested. If I don't receive a reply within two days of sending the message, your characters will be removed.
↪ No arguing; fights may break out in the roleplay, but when speaking to people OOC, treat them with respect.
