His claws werenโt put, but it hurt nonetheless. Could she speak, she would have yelped, but instead she maintained her silence bitterly. Since then, her day had not gotten any better. She had been shove around from task to task in order to prepare for a stupid Gala which she would be forbidden from attending. Of course, she would be there, but as a servant and wearing the servantโs mask. But, setting up the gala had its advantages. She had found a single table by the edge of the party and hidden a
second mask there, one she had stolen of course.
All she had to do was slip under the table and swap masks, then Layla could attend the party and see..Her fur felt hot and she smiled slightly...her
friend Badgerpaw. At least, thatโs what he probably thought of her. After all, he was a high blood, and she was a mere slave. The black molly shook her head softly and let out a silent sigh. Such things were too impossible.
She hadnโt confided in Farrah and Zeri about her plan yet, as neither would likely approve of such traitorous acts, and hoped they, especially Farrah, wouldnโt find up.
Silver|male|24 moons|chattel cat| location: slave cells|tags: Fenrys|mentions: Fallon (not by name)The drum beat seemed to echo in Silverโs brain and sleep constantly evaded him. He tossed and turned, but with he sharp pains of hunger adding into the mix, it looked like it would just be another long night for the chattel cat. He flicked his ears at the sound of Fenrysโs voice and turned towards the other tom.
โDo you ever pay attention?โ Silver mewed sarcastically at Fenrys.
โMaybe if you looked past that pretty courtier for one moment you would know.โ He did his best to ignore the feeling in his chest. What was it? Jealousy? Why would he be jealous of some courtier? He rolled his eyes at both Fenrys, as well as himself.
โItโs their stupid Gala where they celebrate how special Subclan is and how much the gods love them so much.โ His fur bristled with hatred at the thought of the self-entitled clan. He suddenly stood up, his mind now sharp with excitement.
โThe guards, theyโll all be at the gala or horribly distracted. I could, I mean we could escape!โ He paced around in his cell, thinking.
โAnd with the noise of the drums, no one would notice if we broke a few things along the way.โ He looked at his bedding.
โMaybe if we had masks...โ he muttered to himself, then glanced around. Like he had thought, the guard who was supposed to watching them was distracted, trying to fix her mask for the gala.
Scarabstone|male|24 moons|scribe|location: sunclan|tags: blossomsong |mentions: Scrabstone was glad to know that he was to escort Blossomsong. Had his assigned escort been a high blood, the even would have been much more awkward. He glanced around for the molly, his nerves kicking in again. What if she decided that he wasnโt good enough to escort her and would rather face shame for not attending than shame for coming with him. He adjusted
his mask, glad that no cat could see his anxiety and sadness. Even though he was only a commoner, he had done his best to dress up for the occasion, donning a golden ring around his tail tip in addition to his mask and scarab necklace, a family heirloom which he wore often.
Goldenwaves|female|46 moons| Priestess of Isis|location:sunclan|tags: Darkstar|mentions: It was the little things in life that Goldenwaves truly appreciated. While he may not show it, she knew that her mate truly loved her, and while many wouldnโt be able to detect it in his stoic expression, she sensed it, and stretched out her paw and laid it on his. The Gala was already showing promise of being an excellent occasion, despite its many setbacks along the way.
Though she knew it was selfish, Goldenwaves did enjoy getting dolled up for the party, and adored the way
her mask matched her motherโs
neck piece and flowing
silk that flew from it and wrapped around her body.
She smiled at Darkstar, for a moment, then remembered.
โIt seems like only yesterday I was out there as an apprentice at celebrations, now our kits are adults who will soon enough have their own mates and kits. I suddenly feel so old.โ She joked, then looked over the crowd, wondering what her kits thought of the whole situation with a slight pain in her chest, but shrugged it off and put on a kind smile. She would not ruin this night with her worries, especially when it was the last thing her mate needed.
Weaselheart | male |60 moons|Scout/Loner|location: sunclan|tags: none|mentions: Weaselheart had just finished adjusting
his black mask when he heard the call of the drumbeats. The older tom rushed outside and looked around for his assigned escort, Fallencloud. He still felt a bit haughty on the matter. He considered his luck one of his greatest strengths, and when the odds came in his favor, like being assigned as the escort for a royal, he was not surprised.
The shady cat had prepared well for tonight. He wore a black tophat and coat sleeves filled with secret pockets and false bottoms for his โmagicโ tricks. His legs and tail were covered with various bracelets of silver, gold, and bronze, the majority of which he had โborrowedโ on his travels.
