blossom padded out of her den, stretching and shaking out her fur. she looked around camp,
narrowing her eyes slightly before turning and padding out. she jumped off the boat, landing
in the sand and huffing softly, shaking her paws. she looked around and headed towards the
edge of the sea, sitting a few tail-lengths away, not wanting to get covered in salt water. she
watched the waves, letting them soothe her despite herself. she took a deep breath, secretly
enjoying the taste of salt in the air before getting up an padding off into the forest. she kept
her mouth open to scent for herbs, thinking as she padded through the trees towards the fre-
shwater lake. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxtags; none

talon lay immobile on the ground. if she wasn't found soon, she'd surely die from overheating in the tropical heat.

"I'm no threat to your territory. I was washed ashore from a storm." He said to Shadow. "But I'd like to know what's going on."

The oncoming Time of Freed Water brings the return of storms to the isolated peninsula. Storms shake the Earth that the tribe has walked for moons. Many cats have fallen to the peril, blown off of cliff sides or drowned by the endless surf. Hurricanes and typhoons bring sicknesses, often chilling the land for hours until the downpours stop. The peninsula, in addition to, is apt to flash floods, making cats take shelter at the top of the ship. The cliff that the Black Pearl crashed on is the highest point of the peninsula, meaning flood water has to be severe to reach the top; however, waves breaking the cliff side below shake the depths of the boat to the core. Arcadia often feared the ship would topple over, but it has yet to occur. With each storm that hits the island, more and more debris litters the beaches. Kelp, dead fish, random human objects, crashed boat debris, and much more can often be found. Crates from sunken ships can be deadly if containing poisonous chemicals, though strange items have been found in the past: necklaces, drifting kits, human food, etc. Tempest warns sailors to keep curious apprentices and kits away from the debris until it can be cleaned up, though, due to his absence, anything is possible.

The first storm of the season is looming on the horizon. The waves are beginning to churn, ferociously striking the beach with a "hiss". Lightning cracks in the distance followed by a thundering boom. Sailors everywhere, in camp or not, will look upwards, alarm filling their senses as the storm grows closer. The rain comes down gently at first. The intensity only increases as the wind picks up speed, buffeting the palm trees in an attempt to push them down. Birds and other land animals scatter to the shelter of their dens only to find they have been flooded. The beaches are currently unsafe. Huge waves with dangerous rip currents threaten to steal the lives of tribe members. Sharks linger out in the deep water, waiting to take any prey that happens to get caught up in the midst.
How will you survive?

//perhaps blossom can find talon?
and there is one other person that owns outcasts. I messaged her today to see how everything was going, will update you shortly. for now, she could possibly find tempest and spirit? they are pretty much just lounging around on Outcast Isle right now.
if anyone needs a recap, I have made one recently that is quite detailed. I am willing to send it to anyone that just wants an outline of what has taken place so far.

Shadow That Dances at Night
The approach of Death was troubling to him. He did not need any more felines knowing what was going on. He decided to play it off, though his tail lashed in frustration as he glared at Shallow through slitted eyes. "Welcome to my territory. My name is Shadow that Dances at Night, though you are free to call me Shadow. My mate, and second-in-command, is the lovely Little Purr of Kitten, better known as Little." He gestured with his tail in the direction Little had wandered. Shadow was more-so concerned about finding out her health, but he would have to deal with these distractions first. "I was trying to protect her from Shallow, who happened to get upset about something trivial." he explained through gritted teeth, trying to appear friendly nonetheless. "Would you like to join the tribe? You appear young and strong. I could assign you a mentor who could show you around if you wish." Death was the first one in sight, lucky for them, if Reaper decided to join. If not, well, he would have Shadow's wrath forced upon him. He needed to take some frustration out anywho.
A strong wind nearly toppled him over, and he whipped his head around to glance at the western sky. It was beginning to blacken, clouds rolling in with a deathnote in paw. "We need to head back." Shadow mumbled partially to himself.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest turned to his mate as the palm trees started to sway. The smell of rain was on the air. A smell he knew all too well. He and his littermates had been born during such a storm, resulting in his name. He, of course, did not remember the day of his birth, but it was as if he could feel the Earth tremble underpaw. The change in seasons was upon them. "This isle is so small. We need to get to higher ground. I don't trust this isle not to flood if the storm gets bad." he admitted fretfully to Spirit, glancing around with a nervous glint about him.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
"Let's go find him! I want to speak with him right away." she stated with an excited meow, hopping to her paws. There was a bounce in her step as she shifted from paw to paw, eager to be on their way. Flower and Tide, together, on a journey across Isla Nublar. It was going to be a spectacular journey, one filled with waterfalls, volcanoes, mudslides, tsunamis, and much more (even though some of those things were merely old folk tales to the tribe, like volcanoes). "We should check the medicine room first . . . but maybe Shadow made them move to regular quarters because of the law."
The smell of rain was on the air, but she took little notice to it. She would care as soon as she got her pelt wet however.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream was about to respond to Minnow's remark when the look in Feather's eyes stopped her cold. It was a warning of sorts, and she followed the gaze to the anticipating form of Spark. Her maw abruptly closed. She wanted to say something along the lines of: "Well, Night's kits are too young to move right now. Sunset would have a difficult time moving at this age, especially without anyone from the rogue group noticing on their way out. It is an interesting idea, but there are so many risks involved . . ." She would have to speak with Minnow at a later time on the subject. In an attempt to veer the conversation away from Shadow for Spark's sake, she piped in,"Catch anything exciting today?"
The rumble of thunder in the distance broke her train of thought for a moment. Last season's storms did not get too bad, so she was not too worried about the upcoming spring. There was nothing to worry about. A strong wind buffeted her ginger and white fur, smelling of salt and wet sand.

Feather glides on wind and Spark of young flame - Feather and Spark - Tagged: Stream and Minnow -


Breathing a heady sigh of relief when Stream got his message, Feather shook his head. "No, unfortunately." He murmured. Spark was somewhat miffed to be blind to the CURRENT affairs, and felt a prickling of annoyance creeping up her spine. Frowning the tortioseshell lashed her tail. "We haven't caught anything, thanks to this coward." Spark replied, glancing at Feather. "Plus, I sanctions what's happening."

Shells scattered on sand - Scatter - Spirit and Tempest

The wind buffeted her fur and salt spray flew into her eyes. Scatter could smell a storm brewing, and she knew that if she lingered any longer by the shore, she would surely succumb to the wrath of the ocean. Flicking her tail, Scatter headed inland, trying to stay on her wobbly paws in such gales. It had sprung up so quickly, Scatter was almost tossed into the rocks. "Just like pelican." She mumbled, although the wind stole away her words, howling as it went by. Scatter wasn't sure if there was anyone else on the isle but it appeared her thoughts had been answered. Spotting a black cat which she recognized as Tempest, Scatter could not help but curse under her breath.

Shallow watched. She took her chance and ran towards the yowl. She killed the mouse, thinking it was a kit and threw it away.

Little heard a twig snap. It was a mouse. Her head darted around to the sound. She was focusing on what shadow was saying.. but she groaned slightly once the mouse came into view. She couldn't get up, although her heart was racing. She wanted to hunt.. so badly! She yowled out with frustration.

Tide That Swirls Around Reef

Tide nods, standing up. He picks up the scent of rain, even a storm. Shrugging it off, he nods, "Yeah, let's check the medicine den first" he shakes out his pelt, before padding towards the den. "Hello?" He calls, entering the den.

[believe-hwu]

Ｒａｉｎ Ｔｈａｔ Ｆａｌｌｓ Ｑｕｉｅｔｌｙ
The pale gray and white tabby she-cat flicked her ear, hearing Tide. "Yes?"

Ｒｕｍｂｌｅ ｏｆ Ｄｉｓｔａｎｔ Ｔｈｕｎｄｅｒ
The pale brown tabby tom set his catches on the fresh-kill pile.

Ｓｐａｒｋ ｏｆ Ｆａｄｉｎｇ Ｅｍｂｅｒｓ
The ginger and white tabby she-cat pricked her ears, when another cat showed up. This might be my chance! Oh, when you tell him your name--use Fading instead of Spark. She padded out from the bushes.

[happysparrow]

//aw man, Fox looks amazing!! Thank you!! ;A;

Fox shook out his fur, padding to the medicine den to see if he could find Rain. He had been neglecting his duties for quite awhile, and found it would be best for him to forget she-cats all together and get back to work that would matter a lot more.
