Really now, let's not get started on Jack's internal clock. That poor thing was wound up so many times that it was a wonder Jack knew his own age...Or did he?
This time it had been something of importance he had forgotten, not what time to eat, or what time to sleep. It hadn't been what time to run or what time to hide, though both of those were equally important in the life he lived now. No, this was much more important. This could change everything if he played his cards right.
Not too long ago he had attended some roughly put together meeting of sorts. He couldn't really call it a pack at that time, it was more like a 'stew surprise'. There were animals of all different shapes and sizes and genders and species. The one leading them all there was..a girl. No, Woman. These creatures were all brought together to form the idea of a pack. To really rough out the edges, and maybe that was too much work for Jack, because he disappeared soon afterwards without a peep. He forgets as to whether or not he contributed anything to that meeting, but he could never forget a face, or such a lovely howl.
So when Rita's howl had come within ear shot once more, Jack began to make his way towards it. He encountered the usual mucky and watery lands, but now there were others. There were more than just a handful of animals now. Most of them wolves, and in his mind, Jack Applauded the young lass for gathering such a crew of big smelly beasties. He knew he best keep his eyes sharp and his nose wiffing for that borderline.
She had been approachable back then, but now, on her high horse, would she be the same. Would she even recognize him? He knew how packs worked, he'd come in and out of them like cheap who-....
The scent hit his nose. He stopped, gray pads and claws digging at the dirt with a chuckle.
" So this is where it starts, eh? " He barked loudly.
One would come.
Or many.
Maybe even the 'Alpha' herself.
He was a stranger in a strange land, a new voice. They would come. To recruit him or to throw him out. But they would come.
He'd wait, slumping his feathery butt into the mushy ground unaware and uncaring if he got dirty.

[Not sure if you wanted Rita or not, but I thought I'd help Akante with acceptances.]
After the incident with Lost and the absence of Night, Levana was frustrated to say the least. The Banshee hadn't much to do for now. No one to bring into her little robotic soldiers, to serve the Captain. Though she wished it had been Night she was serving than Rita. She wouldn't show such disdain for the Captain, it could be used against her. Levana walked slowly along the borders, deciding it was best to help pick up any stragglers coming to El Dorado. Rita had been running around collecting followers, it was best she got a few under her belt. Maybe a stranger to sway to her whim?
When she spotted the silhouette coming towards their land through the muck, she stopped in her tracks. Watching her carefully waiting to see if it would dare to cross the border. When he stopped to sniff the scent markings, she continued her walk towards him. I made no mistake with that trash. She reassured herself. Should have enslaved it. She grumbled as she approached. Toffee paws peppered with the muck of the marshes. She held herself high, not as high as Rita but higher than any other within the pack.
" So this is where it starts, eh? "
"Hospes, What brings you to El Dorado"
[Stranger.]
Levana's voice was confident, proud of this place that had been established, proud of herself. She continued walking towards him, long red legs covering the distance between them until she was only a foot away. Her red nose twitched breathing in his scent, butterscotch eyes looking him over carefully. A smile played on her red muzzle as she noted the accessories he adorned.
"Speak quickly..."
She spoke trailing off and then the rest of the distance would disappear between them. Levana would brush her muzzle against his neck if he didn't move. Her body would slowly slink around him a couple times before moving back in front of him. "Pretty please." She added finally.
Jack said:
Jack's eyes shot up to meet the wolf who matched the voice. So feminine and lithesome. Her voice carried weight, what had she called him? Hospes? He'd been called many things in his lifetime, but what was a hospes? Eh, he wouldn't ask. Maybe she wanted his name? Maybe he wanted hers.
" Jack " He said in an instant." Jack Sparrow " He wasn't paying attention to the question because he was too busy paying attention to her pretty figure. The legs that carried that body, and the hair that hung over one side of her face. It was all very alluring. The gap between them grew smaller and smaller and of course he didn't move, just simply let his jaw drop a little as her beauty came ever so close. The Question, Jack. Answer her Question , you Deviant. The shaggy haired brute licked his lips and pulled his jaws back shut. He was rounding up his thoughts, perplexed with the fact that he had forgotten just where he was for a second.
" I'm here to join your pack. Well, not your pack, but the pack in general. Surely you need all hands on deck? " He wagged his tail gently and made splashes with what little water was stagnant on the muds surface. He knew she wasn't the Alpha. Are you kidding? The Alpha wouldn't be on these borders, she'd be inside. Where he wanted to be. His head lifted itself a bit above hers with a blank expression. He couldn't see beyond her, but she was alone. Her sensual advances did not go unnoticed though. He quickly moved his gaze back to her. " If you act like any of the other lasses in here, you are going to need someone to protect you ". He tilted and lowered his head and quickly brought it back up. Whether she was actually lewd or testing him, he didn't care. It served for him to be able to give her a reason to let him into the pack. He tried to imagine what it would be like once he was in, were they all sirens? Or were there other brutes to guard such fine treasures?
She seemed more preoccupied with burying herself into him, but he knew the ways of females. What they wanted, why they wanted, and how they usually got everything they wanted. Only to turn around and always say they got nothing that they really wanted. Such complex creatures. Listen darling, you're rubbing up against a seasoned Casanova, you'll take nothing I won't give you. The smile spread across his face as he was lost in thought once more. Waiting to see what she would reply to his rather boastful assumption that they needed a male like him around the place.
Sin said:
" Jack "
He spoke his name and she let her lips pull up into a smile. Her butterscotch eyes looking at him with obvious interest. It was sincere for now, he did interest her. A strong male right before her and where was Night? No where. Levana needed a new play thing, someone else to assist her when she needed it and if she played her cards right he could be just the thing. Would her other love be upset? She didn't know and at the moment didn't care.
" I'm here to join your pack. Well, not your pack, but the pack in general. Surely you need all hands on deck? "
"Oh yes we do..."
She trailed off and began once again her teasing. Her body would press up against his her head under his muzzle, as if to say 'I'm all yours.' "If of course you think you can bring something to help us." She added, with a purr. It was a teasing question. Surely he would want to say all he could do to prove himself worthy of being a pirate. If he said the right thing, well Levana could help get him whatever he wanted... if he said the right thing of course.
" If you act like any of the other lasses in here, you are going to need someone to protect you "
"Would you be the one to protect me?"
Would he? Protect the devious Banshee of El Dorado. The girl assigned to the task of eliminating any threat to their dear Captain. Loyalty can be bought, while some didn't understand that, Levana did. Members here were after power and objects. The Banshee would love to have someone other than Night being her guardian. The ex Princess pulled her head out from under Jack to look into his eyes.
"If you pledge your loyalty to Captain Rita and myself, I can make your dreams come true."
She cooed. Then in a playful tone she added "They call me Levana."
If he had any knowledge of marshland packs, he might recognize her as the Latin Princess of Imperium. A runaway from an empire to join the ranks of pirates. What a rebellious girl she was.
Jack said:
"Would you be the one to protect me?"
"If you pledge your loyalty to Captain Rita and myself, I can make your dreams come true."
"They call me Levana."
There were many other things Jack could call this girl. Persuasive, intelligent, maybe a little...cocky? He couldn't tell just yet what she wanted out of him, but she did want him. That would play in his favor if he was ever going to get into the bloody pack.
" It would be my honor " His reply like a purr. " To serve this Rita and you ". As if Rita has just been an overpriced Appetizer he could not afford, Jack skipped right to this main course of Levana. He aimed to please her with his words, throwing Rita ont he side as a second. Wasn't that what she wanted to hear? He was Savvy in the ways of females, and one of the main things they didn't like, mention of other females above them. He couldn't look into her eyes, for she had nestled into him, but he ducked his muzzle into her fur to take a whiff. Oh yes, there was a hint of other man about her. Also many other oddities, the stench of Marsh was fresh on her coat, not like she herself had been in the pack long.
" There are other things besides protecting I could do...Provide...for you " another honey laced phrase. Specialty of the chocolate brown brute.
" So what is my verdict? " Jack shrugged a shoulder gently to pry the girl to look at him and give him a response.
