Art/Blurb 1: Fishing, round... Hal lost count. He had fished so many times, to varying degrees of success. Was there another technique he hadn't tried yet? He glanced around at the other cats crouched by the water. Perhaps it was time to learn from the others, and try to improve on their techniques as well. He eyed another cat submerging themselves into the later, leaving only the parts of their head above the nose above the water. He wondered if that would help? Should he go ask? He had submerged himself into the water before, but not nearly as much. Perhaps if he opened his mouth, the fish would swim right in... he ducked under the water, mouth open and ready to wait, but the mouthful of water left him sputtering as he came back up to the shore.

Art/Blurb 2: Less fish? Hal's first thought was, had the cats at the camp perhaps overfished? He hadn't had that much success with his catches though, but perhaps all of them collectively fishing meant there was less fish. Then, he heard the announcement about other animals. Ah, perhaps that was it. His head tilted to the side as he considered going to investigate with the group... would it be worth giving up the time to fish more? His head tilted to the other side. It probably was, he had already fished enough today. He wondered what those furry brown fishers were, and pondered about whether he'd be able to get any fishing tips from them. Surely they must be good, if they were able to fish so much so quickly.

Art/Blurb 1: Sundew skipped down to the lake, cheerful as always and oh so ready to catch a beautiful (and hopefully big!) fish! Oh..? There was less fish today? How peculiar! She'd have to take a look after trying to catch a fish of her own.

Sundew peeks into the water later by the dock and to her surprise only sees two tiny little fish! This is way less than yesterday! He doesn't see any other animals though.. a mystery indeed.

Art/Blurb 1:

bobbin heads into the water early in the morning, hoping to have better luck today. he talks with a cat who had kindly volunteered to guide him up there, and learns that there’s been less fish in general. it makes him feel better about not catching many, but he still wants to improve. he catches more in the quiet of the early morning and brings them back proudly, carrying one in his mouth and more tucked into his belt. he heads for the food pile and drops off most of them, then takes the one he’d carried in his mouth over to the campfire, where he roasts it on a stick the way cliff had taught him to do after his near mishap with the s'mores the other night.

Art/Blurb 2:

bobbin hears the news about the strange animals sighted while he’s working on getting his clothes off for another try at fishing, much later in the day than his first trip. he hesitates for a moment, knowing his blindness won’t help the others identify what the animals are, but he knows his skills would probably be better used protecting the investigating group than they would be fishing, especially since there were less fish each day. so, he puts his hat and belt with his gun back on, and joins the group before they head out.
on the way there, he is quiet, despite how the walk felt similar to the hiking trips he enjoyed talking to new friends on. he was nervous about encountering something dangerous, but at least the strange animals had been reported as small. hopefully there wouldn’t be any danger for the other cats. he had suspicions that the animals might be bears, if they were fishing, but they’d have to be baby bears if they were small… he was really hoping they wouldn’t end up running into any adult bears, if they had to run into any at all.

Blurb 2:

"weird." cassia murmurs, glancing downriver. at first, she had thought the lack of fish was because there were so many cats fishing every day. it would be only natural for fish to select a different stomping ground instead of remaining where all of the predators could scoop them up... but brown animals? she was forced to settle back and ponder this for a long moment. "maybe it's.. beavers?" she immediately shook her head. beavers weren't super small, and she didn't think they ate fish. (did beavers eat fish? cassia really didn't know, she'd never spent enough time around them.) so as she meandered down the bank in search of these odd brown animals, she kept an eye out for any opportunities to snatch up a snack or two. if the fish were less in the pond, it would mean that she would have to be more efficient with her hunting trips to keep everyone fed. (especially malthor, who she was responsible for feeding and certainly enjoyed devouring a whole fish when he got the chance.)

Art/Blurb 2:
Rattle Snake was still very unsure about the water, especially since he had grown up and lived in the desert his entire life. And seeing those weird furry beings was making him even more nervous about fishing, though he wouldn't admit it even if it was to save his life. He decided to stay on the edges of the group that went to investigate the creatures, still insanely curious, but he'd rather not get surprised if they decided to attack them. He loved a good adventure, but getting attacked by small animals, even if they were a little cute, did not sound like a nice way to end their day or start dinner.

They looked long and brown and furry, like Birchmist had mentioned. Rattle Snake had no clue what they were, he had never seen anything like them anywhere close to his town. But they were hunting the fish for themselves! Or at least splashing around and making them hide. Either way, they were leaving the campers with less food to eat and Rattle Snake wasn't very pleased about that. They definitely had to do something about them.

It's strange really. I hadn't even noticed the amount of fish decreasing. Maybe it's just because there's so many of us fishing. Then again, I'm sure there must be tons of fish here to feed everyone...otherwise, why fish here? Something else must be taking all the fish! Or someone else.

I didn't think there'd be any mysteries to solve while I was here, but it seems as if I'll have to help out with this one. We'll starve otherwise! Not really. There's plenty of other prey out here. But it's probably not as fun catching those as fish. So, let's not waste anymore time!

And so, the caliby began her trek along the shoreline, heading straight in the direction where Birchmist had claimed these thieves to be. Furry brown things, apparently. What was furry and brown? Rabbits were, but they didn't eat fish. Birds were. Well, they were more feathery than furry. She didn't know what to make of the description, since fish didn't exist in Khafra in the first place. How in the world was she supposed to figure out what those critters were? By simply stumbling across them, of course.

"I'll find them soon enough! I should see them shortly." And for her sake, hopefully those creatures wouldn't be anything dangerous.

art/blurb 2: they were devils.
curls adorned with waves of sienna and eyes fathomed of obsidian, the little beasts seemed to relish in the glistening glory of the heavens above. fangs stained with roses and lilies turned silver by the morning, the grins upon their lips were mocking, luring in the dancing shadows as the fairy wandered close.

no.

these creatures were most definitely devils.

"I think I'm getting better," Parkpaw said tentatively, tail wagging.

"I think so too," Appletree purred, thinking fondly of the fish her daughter caught yesterday.

Blurb 1:

today was the day. meadowshine had resolved to catch a bigger fish today. yesterday, despite the joint efforts of her and cliff, who had offered his assistance, she had only been able to bring a small fish to the prey pile. while she was excited to have his help, once she got past the initial scare, of course—she nearly jumped two feet in the air at the sound of a voice behind her; she was so intent on catching a fish that she hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings—she had to admit that he wasn't exactly that great at fishing either.

today, however, she would bring the biggest fish anyone had ever seen back to camp. she just had to get past the temperature of the water first...



Blurb 1:

meadowshine was initially a little nervous to investigate the fish bandits—small, brown, and fuzzy? what could they possibly be?!—but as she searched for the cause, she found herself a little excited.

camp had been so much fun so far. she was so happy to be aetherstar's first choice to send; it was everything she'd dreamed here! she may have to bring some of the activities from camp back home to the clan, that way the kits and apprentices could have as much fun as she was.

lost in thought, meadowshine nearly missed the flash of umber up ahead. her search party had split up in an attempt to find clues about the animals. "hey, over here," she called softly to the group, so as not to alert the culprits she was tracking.

she slowly approached, aware of the closest cats following her lead. as she watched, one of the little thieves flung one of its slender paws into the water, neatly spearing a fish on a claw. someone let out a small gasp. "there they are, the fish bandits!" she whispered eagerly. "but what could they be?"
