Flicker of dying fire "Death"
Tom > sailor > crush: none > tags: Night, Reaper
He gived his apprentice on last quick look, then walked forward the grassy path which bringed them to deep into the forest. He was stinging to bring him now a different side of them territory "Be careful there can be snakes" he meowed calmly.

//Puggo, you can go ahead and open up your characters if you'd like. Flower is still interacting with Little, and then she is going to meet up with Ice after she gets a tuft of hair.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower felt like she was trapped. How did she end up having the worst luck? She was there to retrieve a lock of hair from Little, yet her kits were missing. Why did her kits have to be missing during an important mission that she was on? The apprentice was stuck not knowing what to say for a moment. The she-cat paused, startled, as she watched the queen run to and fro in the room. "I'm -- uh -- here to clean out the nests. Perhaps someone can help you find them? Like Shadow?" she offered a solution, trying to appear friendly. Flower did not want to raise suspicions in Little; that would jeopardize the integrity of the mission.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream listened patiently as Oil explained his case, blinking in partial understanding to his strange logic. She knew that having a group was better than surviving alone, but she just wished all loners could wander upon the tribe. The tribe was always welcoming to newcomers, at least from her experience. The previous leader and her half-brother Tempest enjoyed bringing new members in, but she could not speak the same for any other leaders. Shadow was, of course, quite strict about his regulations about loners. She could never truly understand what it was like to have to join a horrible group of rogues just to survive easier. It seemed like the last resort. The last alternative.
"You could join the tribe, instead of Shadow's group," she quietly stated, glancing towards the surrounding foliage. "Either way, I suppose you would like to hear my side of the story now, correct?" Stream sat back on her haunches, getting comfortable. The ginger-and-white tabby she-cat felt a bit more comfortable around the rogue, knowing that if he was going to attack, he would have done it already. "I don't think that you would like to hear what I have to say." The sailor shuffled her paws, kneading them into the ground.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
"Oh! I see what you mean. These kits here," he pointed with the tip of tail towards the two kits,"are Shadow and Little's. Star is planning on returning them in the morning; however, Spirit and I just learned that they have been spied on for quite some time. Little might use this to her advantage if we are not careful." The explanation was brief. He did not want to seem frustrated about the decision, but he was slightly upset. That was his tribe they were spying on, and he did not approve. If Raven was starting her own tribe, that meant that they were no longer companions. Opposing tribes and groups had to be considered enemies before they were considered friends.

Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow dug his claws into the smooth stone, scratching marks into the surface in an attempt to pull himself up. His front paws were clinging to the edge. The front half of his body was a third of the way onto solid ground, but his legs dangled. He struggled; his mind was alive with instinct and urgency. His front paws swung towards Spark, hoping to hook her front paws as soon as she turned away from him to look the other way. He wanted to land a mark on her that she would remember for a lifetime. Shadow was not going to let her get away unless she was struggling to survive herself. He pushed his back paw into the ruts he made, shoulder muscles flexing as he attempted to pull himself back up.

Fog from Misty Storm
mist tentatively pressed his paw into wolf's fur, amazed at how springy it felt. his own fur was short, keeping him fairly cool during the intense heat of the day. "wow!" he piped up, head tilting to the side as his curiosity was fulfilled. mist had forgotten momentarily what they were talking about previously. he blinked, eyes widening in excitement as the thought came back to him. "let's go see if mom and ruin are at the den! i want you to meet them. i think ruin will like you." mist started to head towards the tree line, bouncing from paw to paw in anticipation. it felt wonderful to have a friend, even if the friend had emerged from the sand like a monster. the small kit puffed out his gray tabby fur, glancing towards the sky for a moment. "it sure feels hot today!"

Rain That Falls Quietly (Rain)
The pale silver and white tabby she-cat went off to go find Swallow, as he was good company and she liked him.

Rumble of Distant Thunder (Rumble)
The pale brown tabby tom blinked, now suddenly confused.

Spark of Fading Embers (Spark, known to most of the tribe as Fading)
The ginger and white tabby she-cat was tripped, as she had almost fell down with Shadow. Oh please, Arcadia, don't let this be my end. Spark scrambled to get back to her paws, having to dig her claws into Shadow's shoulders. I know that you have kits, Shadow, and I'm sorry but I can't have you around my son.

Seashells By The Shore (Seashell)
The cream lynx point she-kit grinned, before running off to hide into the surgeon's room. She hid behind a pile of herbs Rain had set up, almost running into Rin.

➳ Gale that Fells Trees (Gale) ➳
tom ◆ sailor ◆ 38 moons ◆ apprentice;; n/a ◆ crush;; open [PM me] ◆ tags;; open

Unsure of what to write here. He's sitting inside of the camp.


✭ Spirit that Whispers to Stars (Spirit) ✭
she-cat ◆ "exiled" ◆ 35 moons ◆ mate;; Tempest ◆ tags;; Tempest, Star, Darkness, Leaf, Song, Lilac

Spirit could hear a slightly upset tone in Tempest's voice, and so she leaned in and gave his shoulder a brief lick with a low purr rumbling deep in her throat, as means of trying to comfort him. When the tribe was mentioned, she realized how homesick she was. She had faith that soon enough, she and Tempest would be allowed to return. She was aware that Tempest would [hopefully] be resuming his work as leader, and would probably spend less time with her, but she had accepted that the moment they became mates. Whatever happened, she decided that she would stand by his side and help him in any way she can.


☂ Oil that Drifts in Rivers (Oil) ☂
tom ◆ rogue ◆ 34 moons ◆ crush;; open [PM me] ◆ tags;; Stream

Oil tried his best to hide the slight surprise he felt when the she-cat said 'you could join the tribe,' but he pushed that idea away. Tribe cats would never accept rogues as tribe cats, it seemed like there was a natural dividing line there. He watched as the sat and made herself comfortable, showing willingness to continue the conversation. He gave her a small nod. "Go on. I promise to keep my claws sheathed." The ebony tom said with a slightly sarcastic tone, though curiosity gleamed in his eyes.


♪ Seagull Who Laughs at Midnight (Seagull) ♪
tom ◆ field medic ◆ 30 moons ◆ apprentice;; n/a ◆ crush;; will be Sapphire ◆ tags;; open

Seagull dipped his head to Bone, watching as the she-kit trotted away. He noticed the queen stand up at the corner of his eyes, and approach her kits. Sometimes, he wished he had kits of his own. It was unlikely he'd be chosen to be a surgeon's apprentice, as he was much older than Water. He was barely younger than Rain herself. Picking the younger cat would probably be the best option in the end. The future was such an uncertain thing, but he couldn't afford to be a pessimist. With a small grunt, he stood up, stretching out his muscles before hurrying over to the freshkill pile. He plucked up a small fish from the pile, finding a nice spot to eat his dinner before going to sleep. It was a long day, and he could only hope those who helped Flame today would get their rest soon as well.


☠ Yelp of Wandering Jackal (Jackal) ☠
tom ◆ sailor ◆ 29 moons ◆ apprentice;; n/a ◆ crush;; Wave ◆ tags;; Wave

Jackal shuddered at the big splash of water sent his way by Wave, but a grin swept across his face as the adrenaline seemed to numb his body to the cold. Soon after, he was leaping in the toward, toward Wave. He playfully shoved his head against her chest, and tried to flip her backwards into the somewhat shallow water.


☄ Beacon that Guides the Lost (Beacon) ☄
she-cat ◆ sailor ◆ 26 moons ◆ apprentice;; n/a ◆ crush;; Apollo ◆ tags;; Apollo

"Of course, of course." Beacon nudged an extra scrap of moss close to his mouth so he wouldn't have to move much to get it. Her deep green eyes were gently settled on Apollo, worry clawing ferociously at her heart. She wanted him to be okay, she prayed to Arcadia that he had the strength to make it through the night. She briefly considered going out now and finding help, but what if he took a turn while she was gone and needed her help?


❁ Thorn from a Blooming Rose (Rose) ❁
she-cat ◆ sailor ◆ 24 moons ◆ apprentice;; n/a ◆ crush;; Eel ◆ tags;; Eel

Rose felt herself heat up as the tom turned to respond to her, and she quietly stumbled for words to reply with. "It... It's okay." She offered a nervous smile, shifting slightly. "So umm... How was your day?" The she-cat frantically tried to start up some small talk to keep the conversation interesting, but she mentally scolded herself for picking a topic that was so boring and simple.


♢ Crystal that Glows Brightly (Crystal) ♢
tom ◆ apprentice ◆ 11 moons ◆ mentor;; Wave ◆ crush;; open [PM me] ◆ tags;; Maple

Crystal gave Maple a firm nod, walking forward toward the ominous-looking water. He smirked slightly, beckoning his company over."Maple, look at this water." He called back to her, then looked back into it. As she approached, he began wading in it, slowly.


☁ Howl of Raging Storm (Howl) ☁
tom ◆ swabbie ◆ 2 moons ◆ mother;; Purr from Happy Cougar ◆ crush;; n/a ◆ tags;; Cougar, Bone, Lion, Rin, Blair

Howl silently trotted after his mother and the strange she-cat who introduced herself as Blair. As they trotted to the surgeon's den, they came across another strange cat, this one named Rin. The tom-kit looked up at his mother, almost as if asking what he should do. He didn't like speaking, so that wasn't an option, but initiating play would probably earn him a good scolding.

The large gray tabby tom stomped off from the tribe cat, and decided to go off and find something else to do. "Have fun, tribe cat!"

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
"The tribe does not believe that Tempest killed Moon. Night, Moon's adopted mother, last saw Moon leaving camp to take Moon hunting. Keep in mind that sailors are not supposed to encourage taking kits out of camp due to their size and immaturity. Moon was last seen with Little. According to Light, the lieutenant, Tempest and he were out for a run. He caught up to Tempest to see Moon laying dead near the isthmus barrier. That does not leave a lot of time to mentally decide to kill a kit, and Tempest would have known that Light was close behind him and he would not have sufficient time to hide the body. The body was not hid to begin with. Whoever killed Moon wanted her to be found. They smoothed out their tracks as they left. Before we hardly got the news in camp, Little came in with Shadow and the rest of your group, stating that Tempest had abused you. Little was being a caretaker for the injured, but Shadow raised up everyone against Tempest who had physically attacked them without a means of defense," she paused to make sure he was following, curious to hear what he would have to say to the first part of her theory.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Suddenly a courageous, not-so-smart idea came to mind. He wanted to see the tribe. He had been gone for too long, and if anything, he would be satisfied merely to see how the members have adjusted to the new leadership. "Star, would you mind if Spirit and me tagged along in the morning?" The former leader merely needed to be at peace as to whether or not life in the tribe was not in peril.

Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow felt the claws dig into his shoulder, and the movement made hate ebb around him like a sinister veil. His eyes became shrouded with, not fear, but distrust. He refused to give her the satisfaction of pushing him off the cliff. The cliff was his lifeline, a tentative dangle between the living and the dead. Life had never been precious to him until he learned that creating it was better than destroying. His kits showed him a world he had otherwise been cut off from, but it was too late for him. His mind had already been set in stone, set in his ways like the claw markings dug into the side of the cliff. The sea spray made it slippery underpaw, and he tore out claws with each desperate pull towards the surface. He was going to be in control. Control was what he yearned for. It was his last order, one done in a flash of fury.
He pushed off of the cliff with the energy he had left, feeling a moment of peace as he dangled in the air before abruptly dropping downwards. Shadow hoped he had pushed off far enough to avoid the jagged rocks below, but only time would tell. His bright green eyes shone with a distinct light, shrouded in fog pulled up the cliff side. Gently the light faded from view, replaced by the sight of the water quickly coming upon him. He felt weightless as he hit the water. His breath had been knocked out of him. Pain flushed his features, but it felt more so delightful in the light of the situation.
From the view of the cliff side, it would be difficult to see entirely to the bottom. The sea spray from oncoming waves sends up a thick fog, and thus, Shadow was lost to the world. One could not be sure if he physically died or mentally died, or perhaps a combination a both, but the form did not reappear when the surf cleared.

Fog from Misty Storm
the young kit was confident as to where he was going at first, but eventually he realized that he did not recognize the surrounding area. He had a moment of inner panic, glancing back towards Wolf who was blindly following him. Mist felt a wave of guilt come over him. The urge to cry pushed him to stop, tail dropping miserably when he knew he would have to admit defeat. That's what I get for going too far! he thought somberly. "Wolf, I-I don't remember how to get back."
