In the eerie greenish gloom of the night, shadows seem to leap out at you,
all sharp angles and ominous shapes. It's difficult to tell where you are,
as the forest canopy and understory seem to twine together into a
mysterious maze. Attempting to find your way back to the road,
you stumble across a clearing in the dark woods,
where a patch of mist spools across the ground.
In the fog, you spot a winding, serpentine path cutting across it.
Cautiously following the trail, your ears are slowly assailed by a growing hum,
the low buzz and fizzle of something not quite mechanical, not quite organic.
And there, backlit by an unfamiliar halogen glow, you spot it.

A tall creature, brilliant pink and blue practically casting its own light.
The being freezes when it senses you, as if carved from stone.
It stares you down, unblinking, with eyes like pools of Greek fire.
An eel-like tail winds its way around the feet,
betraying the smallest hint of uncertainty
behind the facade of an otherwise silent, indifferent colossal figure.
It studies you, perhaps curious, perhaps equally trapped by your gaze.
How do you approach? Should you approach?


What does the home world of this peculiar kitty look like?
Who or what have they left behind, in order to travel here?
If they can't (or don't want to) remember, what are they looking for in a new home?

Ends at rollover Nov 20th -> 21st
Answer in any way you'd like, written and visual formats allowed

username: CursedStorms
clan: Starfield - "Kitty pet"
name: Tupperware
age: 2 years
gender: They/Them (human insists on boy)
prompt: Tupperware cannot remember their home world, galaxies, they can't even remember their name. But this strange creature on two legs found them and called them a "Cute Kitty" and WITHOUT FEAR, picked them up! They couldn't believe it! This creature picked them up like they were a hatchling! Like they couldn't destroy this inferior creature within seconds!

Not only were they taken hostage by this creature, but this squishy thing thought they were a tom! A tom! And gave them a stupid, alien name. What is a Tupperware?! Is it some kind of beast? They didn't want to know, but they were going to find a way out of this prison.

What? What is that?! POISON?

But it smells......ok. Hmp, perhaps they shall try it, but only because they can't remember the last time they ate. Perhaps this......stuff.......isn't so bad. But it certainly isn't fit for a superior being like them.


'Tupperware' now enjoys being spoiled with three meals a day and funny sweaters in winter.

Hi, I'm Mahogany! I use he/vey/sun <3 I like character creation and Warriors. Sometimes I like to take pictures, although I wouldn't really call myself a photographer. The leaves here are actually two halves of a picture I took in Germany!

I love plants, meteorology, animals, water, chemistry, the wind...
pretty much anything you'd learn about in a science class!

username: mal du pays (186503)
clan: Overture
name: Theremin
age: Actual age unknown, estimated to be at least 5 yrs+
gender: Yeah (It/they)
prompt:
There is no home world. Not necessarily.

Theremin's arrival to the Hall was a long, long time back, before Glass Piano's time. Being a stranger that showed up out of nowhere, especially of their appearance, there were certainly questions about them. Who were they? Where did they come from? What did they want?

They'd answer all of them, of course - they didn't remember their name, and they were simply looking for a place to stay. That second question, though, they'd skirt around - they'd say it was just a place similar to the world that Overture occupied, where things were simply brighter, with more little trinkets and contraptions scattered about vast, floating landmasses. They'd spin tales of grand skylines and colors that most could only dream of, with sights you could only see in your imagination.

This was all a lie.

Image

Theramin was born in a dark, endless expanse of abyss. There were no colors, no landmasses, no other cats, nothing. Just cold, quiet, lonesome darkness. It stayed there, quiet, for what felt like aeons until they made a break from the Abyssal Pocket.

It ended up in a strange place, with colors, sights, sounds they had never seen before. Things spoke to them in words they couldn't quite understand. They were overwhelmed by all of the new sensations they'd just stumbled into.

Image

This was all they could have ever dreamed of. This is what they wanted.
And so they made their way to the hall, picking up the language as they travelled, knowing enough of it by the time of their arrival to ask for refuge. The Conductor was happy to have another set of paws on deck in their grand theatre.

Theramin was just happy to finally be home.

username: Baobabel
clan: Here
name: Nebula
age: 10yr (but for a gnarpy, that's new young adult)
gender: nonbinary (they/them)
prompt:
Nebula's parents had died shortly after their birth. They had been raised with an older litter that bullied them relentlessly and the queen showed clear favoritism toward her 'true' kits. Things worsen during mentorships because there was much less supervision. Things got slightly better upon graduation. Mostly because the others grew bored and the adults looked down on the childish, if not cruel, behavior. To top it all off, they just never quite fit in. Everyone seems to interact in a way they could never quite replicate. Most gnarpy their age had already begun to eye potential lifelong partners, but Nebula couldn't see settling down long term with anyone here. Most weren't outright mean, although every group has a few, but even the rest; interactions felt forced. They felt stifled and unseen.
Outside of relationships, born in a colorless world of cold, Nebula grew up a bit miserable. They heard many tales of a glorious time before the cold sunk in, where color and life was abundant, but all they had know was this snowy one. They body and coat was not made for these conditions. Every day brought deep pain and stiffness in their joints.
When they heard pods were sending out expeditions, Nebula was the first to sign up. This was their chance to get away from it all; the cold, the bullies, the awkwardness. There was nothing for them here, no friends or family; just pain, physical and emotional. In new places, everyone would be scrambling to try to figure out to blend, it wouldn't just be them anymore. During their travels, they dreamed of the things they had been told in stories. Color, plants, WARMTH. They imagined a world where they fit in. Since being a kit, they had visited the warm pools. From that he knew that while the pain never went away completely for long periods of time, being warmer helped. They knew in this new place they would likely still struggle with joint pain but maybe it wouldn't be as extreme. He wouldn't shiver constantly daily. It wouldn't be daily awkward struggles or pitying glances. Just quiet acceptance and maybe a close friend to do thing with.
It wasn't all bad back home and not everyone was mean but deep-down Nebula knows no part of them will miss their past. When they find a place to call home; they will devote their time to being happy and part of a new community. They won't let their past drag them down. If anything, it will make them more grateful for the new opportunity and experiences.

Extra: Paired with the day 30 prompt from the event
"Throughout it all, one gnapry starts to have certain feelings. This gnarly has always felt the lure of adventure. They’ve always had a strong sense of curiosity and delight in new things. While always accepted by their friends and family, they’ve never felt at home with the other gnarly. They’ve always had this feeling they were meant for someplace else. They were one of the first to volunteer to seek out new places for the gnapry to live.
And then they landed here. This strange and beautiful planet with new yet somehow familiar cats. The more they’ve explored and interacted, the more they’ve come to fall in love with the place and its people. Cats that become so dedicated to helping near strangers. They feel a sense of belonging and rightness they’ve never experienced before.
As the plan moved forward successfully and the rest of the gnaprys eagerly prepared to return home, this one started to feel an ache in their heart. At first they just thought they were sad at the idea of leaving new friends but they soon realized it was deeper than that. As the time to leave draws closer, they begin to feel something akin to panic. They quickly pull the leader of the gnapry and the leader of the clan cats aside to have a talk. They explain how they’re been feeling and finally put to words their desire to stay on this planet. The clan leader looks surprised but quickly happy. They’ve come to treasure their extraplanetary friends. This will continue to tie the groups together and who knows what more they may learn from each other. The gnapry leader’s expression is one of someone who finally figured out the answer to a tricky question. They will miss this gnarly dearly but they’ve never been content with life. Maybe this place will finally bring them true joy and peace. Both leaders give their consent and the gnapry is thrilled. They know they have a lifetime of new experiences and friends ahead!"
