Myst pushed open the door and strolled in... she hasnt seen her fellow mentors in weeks...due to her most recent as.signment.  "If I may intrude Marlene... but if the pups dont learn early on, they may expect the pleasent behavior and the knowing of getting what they want." she stated in an expressionless voice but still respectful.

(no problem :3)

Marlene glared at Myst. when had she come back? She saved that question for later as she replied, "And I have nothing against that but how are we to teach them to respect others if they are shown none? They should have the opportunity to explain themselves. I know our own mentors did not give us that luxury, and look at what hell we went through because of that."

Marlene gritted her teeth, growling through them, "But. Not. On. The. First. Day!"

The recruits would learn respect easily enough, but if the harsh training methods were put into play immediately, most of them would never have a chance to even get started. instead, they would go from untrained innocence, to oblivion; Marlene had seen it before.

(She's not trying to intimidate, she's just angry ^^)

"Most of them ARE still pups!" Marlene yelled at Marsh's back. The rotweiler was agitated and sorely needed somethign to vent her anger, but how? Unable to think of anything, she simply stormed back to her own kennel, a very large kind given to the instructors though they were never locked. Growling obsceneties to herself, Marlene somehow fell asleep. Come the morning, she would have to keep an eye on Marsh before the arrogant instructor did one of the recruits harm, or worse, turned them against thier instructors.

((do you mean myst? or marsh...))

Myst rolled her eyes, "Then they are not cut out for the force." she stated simply, disappearing back outside.  She strolled into the coming darkness.  She growled lowly as she thought of Marlene, the 'pups' may become hard-headed if given the slip so easily... In her 4 years shes seen it numerous times.  The pups may think that they are better then the mentors and try to rise up against them.  Myst scowled at this thought, strolling past the recruit kennels.

Rule peeked out and saw a large black dog in the darkness...at first he thought it was Marlene or one of the sorts..but he realized hes never seen that dog before.  He whimpered and went to the back of his kennel for fear the strange dog was dangerous.

Marsh watched silently as Myst had an episode. "Shii needs dicipline. She used to be a show dog." Marsh hoped that Marlene would understand.

Spike let out a growl looking between Marsh and Marlene. He was quite tired of the bickering and snapping at one anouther just because of the training styles. "Each dog has their own style. Just because one see's that they must be gentle but firm and the other see's to be tough and not gentle doesn't mean either is right or wrong. Do what you think will get the pups to learn and succeed. If they fail, they fail because of you not because of them" He sighed pulling his ears back. "every dog can be taught it just takes a certain style" he finished up sitting down and scratching behind his right ear with his back foot.

Dwaine perked his ear at the whimper and side way glanced at Rule. "Are you okay?" he asked curiously raising his head off his paws to see the other dog. "Are you scared of the dark or something?" he asked curiously a whole lot calmer than he was when they first arrived to the police station.

Rule looked at Dwaine, but quickly went back to the shadow..."Did we meet that dog today?" he questioned...not taking his eyes off the shadow.  He glanced at Shii, before repeating his action and turning towards the shadow... it loomed over their kennels which made him whimper lightly.

Rule tried to growl but it came as a light whimper... he has always been stubborn and 'hard headed' and as excited as he was, he wasnt sure the mentors were right for him.

"Silence." Myst snarled menacingly, from behind the door... her shadow looming over the kennels through a crack in the door.  Her voice was cold and bone shuttering, no doubt causing the new recruits to tremble... before she strode past the kennels and into the seemingly never ending darkness.

Rule shuddered... he held his breath, not wanting to make the strange dog come into the kennels where it was 'safe'.  He wasnt sure if this dog, if it was a dog, was a mentor and it could be dangerous.  He stood there, shocked...at a lost for words

Myst, satisfyed began to disappear once again... she was impressed with Shii's immediate reaction, perhaps there was hope for this one recruit in her clas.s.  She smiled at the thought but continued her nightly outing.

Rule swallowed once the footsteps of the dog faded from hearing or seeing distance.  He waited several moments until he was positive the strange shadow was gone..."You okay?" he whispered, cautious of listeners.
