City Lights<->Semi-Lit Alley Cat Roleplay [Open :3]

[free.]

Layla.
A number of things happened at once. She noticed a cat following them. It was Fog, yet Layla herself didn't know their name. She locked eyes with the other cat, about to speak, when a sound caught her attention. She whipped her head around, recognizing it as a sigh. Her eyes lighted on a fox-like cat appearing from nowhere, speaking randomly. Layla narrowed her eyes, trying to recall the cat. Wait! Aha, that was it. It was Foxglove. She barely contained herself from rolling her eyes. She saw through the other she-cats act in a second. She remembered her now, Layla had watched her, and then spoken to her. They had announced themselves as allies. Just not the kind to hang around each other. Just to not attack each other unless they went behind each other's backs. Like kill someone they loved. Not that Layla loved anyone. But she had a strange feeling about Foxlogve and that other cat she had come across...what was his name. Mor something. Ah, whatever. She gave up trying to figure out his name. She didn't really care about him.

And now although Foxglove was rambling on, and Layla kenw it was an act, she didn't say anything. Just let her face look suprised and then attentative, as if listening to her every word. Two could play this game. "You know, you do look familiar." She said, nodding, a look of concentration on her face as if she was trying to figure out who she was. "I don't think we knew each other in another life. I highly doubt I've ever had another life..." She said sweetly, smiling. "Perhaps we just have stumbled across each other in the city a few times." Layla shrugged, sitting up straight and watching her with those big blue doe eyes of hers. She cast a glance back at the other new cat, Fog, who hadn't said anything. But then her gaze returned to Foxglove. She smiled lightly as Julian tried to have some pride and dignity, but stayed quiet.

(I'll post with Zeus later....)

(they are actually so cute it is unreal amg >_<)

A twitch of Foxglove's tail was the only sign that gave away her carefree, childish attitude as she looked at the tom - Julian - with an barely disguised annoyance, "Yes, but you're a house-cat, aren't you?" She spoke the word as if it was a disgusting curse, "You don't even belong on the streets. Why would I know your name?" And frankly, why would I even care? "Shouldn't you be like, getting fat somewhere? On some old lady's lap, or something? Or did she kick you out because you got too big?" Barely stifling an overly amused laugh, she turned away, her face quickly turning innocent again. "Oh my gosh. Really? Because I have a friend, and h-she," Halfway through the word, Foxglove changed her mind, realising that if Layla knew her - and she was sure she wasn't lying - then it was quite likely that she knew Mordecai as well. So it was safer if she kept him out of it, "she said that she knew you as well. But, oh my gosh, this is the creepy part, neither of us could remember how! I mean, how weird is that? It's like we were both, I don't know, brainwashed or something. Totally strange. But yeah." Foxglove shrugged, shooting Layla a friendly smile. "Of course, you wouldn't remember if you'd had any past lives. But, y'know, I'm kinda curious about you anyway. Just because your name obviously meant so much to me. Y'know?" She hesitated, glancing over her shoulder. If she squinted just so, she could almost see Mordecai's shadow as he paced back and forth. Letting out a defeated breath, she swung back to face Layla, "Um, anyway. We should totally meet up some time, and like, chill. Or something. Because you're pretty, and so am I. Which means we should team up. I don't like hanging with cats that cramp my style." Her gaze flicked quickly to Julian as she spoke, a smirk playing around her lips. The she laughed airily, and danced back a few steps. "I've gotta go, anyway. I have someone waiting for me," She rolled her eyes, "Boys, hey? I bet he thinks I'm like, meeting up with another tom. Although why he'd think I'd do that when he was so close, I do not know. And I bet if he saw you, he'd dump me in a flash." Foxglove's smile broadened, "Anyway, come talk to me some time. If you need like, advice or anything. We'll be staying around her some place cosy." Skipping back a few more steps, she bobbed her head at them, "See you around, Layla. Bye bye, Julian." She purred, but it wasn't a friendly purr. Winking once at him, she sprang back and raced from the alley, clearing the road in a couple of bounds. The she-cat barrelled past Mordecai, muttering, "Quick, into the alley before they see you!" into his ear.

(okay, I'd forgotten how fun it was to roleplay Foxy when she's not herself. |D I'm probably the only one who finds her funny, but oh well, I amuse myself. x3)

Quicksilver trotted back to Zeus with a rather impressive amount of prey. Normally, she'd be proud, but instead, the small she-cat's blue eyes were wide, and her breath was ragged. T-that was a close one.... She thought, panting as well as she could with a mouthful of fur, I thought I was a goner for sure.... Her head spinning around, Quicksilver looked for Zeus. Spotting him, she walked back with her catches, her fluffy tail swishing from side to side. “Happy?” She mewed with a hint of annoyance in her voice as she dropped the prey at her feet.

Fog jolted as if someone had hit him across the face when the pretty she-cat looked at him. However, he stayed silent until all the cats finished talking, though it seemed like forever to him. Why does she talk so much? Fog asked himself, looking critically at the fox-like she-cat, And her voice, it sounds so…. Fake and weird…. With a small shrug, Fog shuffled his paws, the muscles on his shoulders flexing. “Hi.” He mewed quietly to the she-cat, ignoring the tom that was beside her. The tom smelt like humans, and was obviously a house cat. “Weak and pudgy….” Fog mewed quietly to himself.

((Uh..so what exactly is going on here? Can I have a recap!? xD I don't know where to begin...))

(@ KK:
derf, a ton. I don't even know where to begin. Foxglove and Mordecai are walking around together, looking for a mailbox or something, and they're worried about my cat named Layla for some reason. Because, you know, she's not a phsyco killer kitty at all...bahaha just kidding. Layla is talking to Julian and Fog, Fish Bones is lying unconcious in an alley after he was attacked by Zeus and Squirell. Who of which are just a bit out of that alley, with Quicksilver padding up to them, dropping prey at their feet. Because she wants to be allies with them, or something. I forget. Anyways, that's all I know. Hope that helps, although I'm sure I just made you even more confused. :3

I'll post later guys, or tomorrow. I'm running low on muse at the moment. )

Gender: Tom-cat
Age: 28 moons
Description: Spuds is a short, silver tabby. He has a white chest, white paws, and pale blue eyes. He is rather thin, but he makes up for that in speed and agility. Because of those characteristics, he is a great hunter, but when he is in trouble, his best bet would be to run rather then fight.
Personality: Spuds is a smart cat, but he is quiet and normally keeps to himself. Around his friends he is talkative and loves a good laugh. When he is not with friends he is quiet. He can be referred to as mysterious.
Skills: Speed and agility
Weakness: Fighting
History:
Spuds mother and sister were taken by humans. His father died before he was born by getting hit by a car. Spuds ran away, running towards nowhere when he met a large brown tabby tom and a pale silver tabby she-cat. The she-cat was pregnate with kits when they met. The brown tabby, Tiger, was the father of the kits. Tiger and silver took care of Spuds. In that time, Silver had her kits, Raider and Lichen. Lichen was a beautiful pale brown tabby with a white chest, paws, and green eyes. Spuds fell in love with Lichen, but knew it would be awkward if they were mates because her mother was his adopted mother. Spuds grew restless thinking about her until it became to much and he ran away from Tiger and Silver. Spuds ran until he was in a weird place. There were lots of cats and dogs in cages around Spuds. Then he saw his mother and sister being taken out of their cages and brought into a separate room. Looked in the window of the room, watching the humans pin his mother and sister down and stick needles into them, filled with a weird fluid. When they pulled out the needle, there was no more fluid in the syringe and his mother and sisters eyes began to close. He watched the light die from their eyes. After, the humans threw his kin aside and walked towards the door. He hid behind a cage and watched the humans open another cage and pull out a pale brown tabby with green eyes, white paws, and a white chest. He was shocked that this cat looked so much like Lichen, but he could tell the difference. This cat had scars on her flank and neck, and a scar on her ear. This tabby she-cat was slightly younger then Spuds. Rage rushed through Spuds as he leaped at the human, biting hard into its leg. The human dropped the she-cat and flung Spuds off. Both Spuds and the she-cat ran out of the scarey place. Spuds and the she-cat he saved, Leafy, ran towards an ally way and lived there. Spuds ended up mating with Leafy, but Leafy was very weak cause of blood loss during birth and Spuds two kits, Rain and Shattered, were sickly. After 4 moons of Leafy nursing the kits, she died. Spuds grabbed the kits and weeped as he left the alleyway, leavin his mates body to decompose. Spuds ran towards where Tiger and Silver lived, hoping they we're still there. Rain dies on the way there leaving Shattered alone. Once they get there, Spuds finds Silver and Lichen. Silver agrees to help take care of Shattered and sadly tells Spuds that Tiger and Raider died in a cat fight. Silver then asks who the mother of this kit is and where she is. Spuds replies that the mother, Leafy, died 4 moons after the kits were born and his other kit, Rain, died on the way here. Silver takes care of Shattered until Shattered and Spuds set off in search of their new home. Before Spuds leaves Lichen tells Spuds that she loves him.

Her father then took her and Rain far from their alleyway. On their journey, Rain died. Spuds and Shattered stoped to grieve, but after, we continued.

[Accepted. ^^

And Nighty, Foxy amuses me very much when she's like that as well. xD]

Julian stared at Foxglove, jaw dropping in anger. Excuse her. Well. He was not a housecat. Not in the least. If he was a housecat he wouldn't be here. He'd be warm and well-fed in a nice, cozy house. He wouldn't be starving on the street. An indignant growl rumbled in his throat. Besides, a housecat was no worse than a street cat. At least they were smart enough to know how to bond with people and benefit from it, rather than be enemies with them. Julian looked up, an angry retort prepared, but Foxglove was already skipping away. Hearing Fog's comment, he whipped around and hissed. Why did everyone hate housecats so much? "If I were a housecat, I wouldn't be hanging around with you grimy lot, would I?"

▪▪▪

Mordecai hissed and muttered to himself, pacing back and forth alongside the wall. What was Foxglove doing? Was she okay? As far as he'd heard there'd been no screams of terror or pain or anything, though he had heard a very indignant sounding screech. He recognized it as something siamese. A growling sort of whimper came off of his tongue as memories of his brother and father came to mind. They'd been awful. So awful. It hurt just thinking about it. There was a splintering noise as the end of one of his claws cracked against the hard surface of the sidewalk beneath him. Luckily Foxglove came darting by before he could get to thinking too much. Not feeling up to questioning her order or just questioning her in general, he ran with her into the alley. "W-what." he panted, the sudden burst of running causing him to be short of breath, "What were you thinking?"

Layla.
She whipped her head around to glare at Julian, her deep blue eyes icy and piercing. Her voice had lost its sweet honey sound, and was stripped bare and cold. "Because house cats are weak and soft, and have the stench of humans all over their pristine fur." She snarled, her eyes flashing, lips curled up to show her long, sharp white teeth. The small, silver she-cat looked for all the world as if she was about to rip someone's head off. But then she suddenly sat back, her face a mask, calm and collected, just as relaxed as before. Though when she spoke again to the tom, her voice still lacked it's usual sugarcoat. "And if you don't like it here, with our lot, you can leave. None of us are keeping you from your humans." She sneered at him, turning her back on him to talk to Fog. Instantly, upon seeing the other tom, she relaxed more, and smiled lightly, her eyes now soft deep blue pools. "Hello, there." She purred. "I'm Layla, might I ask who you are?" She tilted her head slightly, eyes questioning.


Zeus.
He was torn, because Squirel had stopped running, and was freaking out. Glancing back towards the end of the alley, and freedom, then back to the she-cat, he growled. Shifting side to side, he finally heaved a sigh and raced back to Squirel, paws skittering on the cement. "Squirel, c'mon, we have to go. You didn't kill him, it's alright. He's just sleeping, that's all. Look, you can see his chest rise and fall. Now lets go." He urged, trying to nudge her softly with his shoulder towards the end of the dark alley. He almost jumped out of his fur as he turned around and there was that weird other she-cat from before, with prey at his feet. "Wha-er sure, whatever, great job." He muttered. "What did you want again?" He was trying to keep things moving. They had to leave. Soon. Before the old bag of bones woke up and killed them all.

[duckteeth]

Julian looked at Layla as she snapped at him, eyes wide with regret and shock. Hadn't she just been a super sweet nice cat? "I-I didn't mean it about you. You're not dirty or grungy or stupid. You're really smart and pretty and clean. And I'm not a housecat anymore anyway. I-I'm a street cat now. I'm not living in a house anymore, I'm living on the street. Besides my humans," Julian had to choke the next few words out forcefully, "My humans left me. I hate them. They're stupid and mean." Julian doubted Layla had even bothered to listen to him. But he had tried anyway. She was so pretty. He didn't want to lose her company.

▪▪▪

Squirrel was jolted back into reality by Zeus bumping into her. Sleeping. He was sleeping. At Zeus' comment she stared harder at Fish Bones' mutilated body and noticed that his chest was moving, He was breathing. And breath meant he was alive. Squirrel felt as if a huge burden had been removed from her shoulders. "Okay. Yeah. Go. Let's g-" Squirrel let out a squeak of fear at the sudden appearance of another cat. "Oh you." She meowed, letting the fur that had puffed up flatten a bit. Se hadn't been mean, right? Or vicious? She hadn't hurt anyone.
