PSITHURISM

the three she-cats had chosen to explore with one another that morning, though they had not reached that decision without more than a few convincing words from the smallest among them. mouse remained visibly shaken from their previous encounter with the rogues, her ears pricked and her gaze darting towards any small movement. she'd slept in a small ball in the corner of the shelter, her tail curled tightly against her side. a small brush against her hind leg sent her several inches in the air, though the other two hardly seemed to notice. the trio continued onward, the forest strangely quiet. for toad and squirrel, this was a pleasant break, though for the paranoid, it seemed suspicious.

several minuted later, mouse jumped again as she felt the brush against her fur, quickly spinning her form towards it, only to realize that it has been the calico's tail flicking out. were it not for the sly look spread across squirrel's features, it could have been brushed aside as an accident, but this look did not go unnoticed by the scout for a second time. her ears pulled back as a hiss escaped her throat, met simply with a glare from their leader, who had clearly missed the slight encounter.

"quiet!" the word was snapped by the irritated she-cat, and the three didn't bother to speak as they continued further away from their camp.

Wrenclaw was so busy watching Larkwing that he forgot they were on a patrol. When she left from her standing position and brought down a large squirrel, he was a bit shocked out of his daydreaming. +1 Squirrel, +3FP, +3XP

The other two cats had barely slowed down, Larkin was as bouncy as ever, and Goldengaze was making the most of it. They had passed up so many herb growing areas that he knew of, and when the chance came along again, he settled for a moment to pick what he knew about. +1 Wild Garlic, +1 Juniper Berries, +2XP

NorthClan is Exploring!

Postby demiboygod » Tue Apr 21, 2020 1:13 pm

NorthClan
Ryestar groaned as they stretched, feeling the heat of the sun on their back. So much time had passed, and they had still not found a cat to join their clan. Deciding to head back down to the lake, Ryestar took their time walking. Observing the state of their territory, Ryestar noticed little dens made by the mice and other small creatures living in the lands of NorthClan. They didn't spend any time going after the small prey creatures this time. They enjoyed the walk, the breeze ruffling their fur, and finally ended up at the lake. They had decided to try their paw at fishing since they had a lake and a stream in their territory.

Remembering what their mother had taught them many moons ago, Ryestar waited at the water's edge, still as a stone. They kept their paw raised, ready to strike at a passing fish, paused as not to scare off the water's inhabitants. Spotting a minnow swimming their way, Ryestar prepared to strike, and scooped their paw into the water, hooking the fish. As they brought their paw out of the water, fish attached, the fish flailed, flinging itself off of Ryestar's claws and back into the water, swimming away. Though their first catch managed to get away, Ryestar noticed that the other fish swimming nearby had not been scared off.

Huffing in frustration, Ryestar fell back into their previous pose, paw held above the water, waiting for a fish to dart by. Today was going to be a long day.

There were a lot of smells in the air, mostly the lush greenery and herbs. However, that's not what Blue was looking for. She needed food. She listened to the sounds of the jungle and sniffed the air. She could smell a fresh kill somewhere nearby. She followed the scent through the long grass and found a bird beginning to eat a small fish. Blue jumped out of the bushes and swung her paws at it, hissing menacingly. The bird responded with a few angry squawks, but flew away, leaving it's prey behind. Before the she-cat could enjoy her new meal, she picked up a new scent in the air. A predator. A hungry badger that might want to steal her stolen fish. Will she pursue the threat or ignore it?

Shellstar and Stormswirl made their way along the coast, hoping to find prey. After some time searching, Shellstar managed to track the scent of deathberries. The two decided to collect some and made sure to do so carefully, so they didn't accidentally poison themselves. Deeper in the forest during their hunt for prey Stormswirl spotted a familiar herb, lovage, and they both eagerly collected some to take back to camp. +1 deathberries, +1 lovage, +2xp

"Cloverflame would be so proud," Shellstar joked, her mouth muffled by the herbs she held. Both of them made the decision to head back to camp a bit early so they could give the herbs to the medicine cat and eat something.

Milo happily bounded through the forest like any other day. A quick flash of brown caught his attention and Milo saw a mouse running around. Milo watched the mouse for quite awhile before it stopped to nibble on a crumb it found. Milo seized the oppertunity to catch the mouse and pounced! +1mouse, +2FP, +2XP
After finding the mouse Milo trott along, tail high in the air until he trampled on something sticky. He looked down to inspect what was on his paws and found herbs +1dandelion, +1XP

Already fed up with mouse and her paranoia, squirrel decided to walk away for awhile to cool off. Soon squirrel was distracted by a big bush which (she?) Examinated thoroughly. Upon close inspection the calico found some herbs and rejoined the other two cats +1sweet sedge, +1XP

While the trio walked through the forest mouse was still on edge from both the last battle with rogues as well as squirrel's interference. Thats why when she stopped in the middle of the path with seemingly no reason the other cats rolled their eyes thinking it was just her paranoia again. It wasnt however, mouse had picked up scent of a badger will they choose to pursue the threat?

Although Ryestar felt annoyed at loosing the first fish they kept at it. Soon a small fish swam past them and they quickly flashed their paw in and out of the water, claws sheathed. Ryestar unfortunetly blinked as a splash of water hit them right square in the eye. Blinking furiously Ryestar swung around and rubbed their eyes with their, still slightly damp, paws. As they were wiping away the water Ryestar noticed a strange noise. Looking up Ryestar saw that the small fish was floundering on the edge of the stream bank. Quickly they rushed towards the fish hoping it wouldnt flop back in before they could get to it. Ryestar luckily managed to catch it +1small fish, +2FP, +2XP
Since Ryestar is the only cat in northclanone small fish should be enough right? Now it was time to look for more clanmates. Ryestar didnt know if they should walk around in search or stay put and wait for somecat to find them. After several minutes of no cat showing up Ryestar decided to go searching by themself. But they did not expect to find herbs! +1catmint, +1XP still what use are herbs without someone to use them on.

    "It's nice outside." Milo mewed. "Yeah, it is isnt it?" Skye mumbled. He half expected there to be no response, but looking over to his side, Skye was right there with him. It was the best thing that could have happened to him. Skye said she'd been living in the forest for a while, but lost her memory and doesn't remember how that situation came to be. Oh well. It didnt matter now. They had each other. Milo not only had someone to talk to, but Skye knew all about herbs! Thank the stars, Milo didn't know anything. And Skye finally found someone after all that time... The poor thing, out there all alone. Milo was practically insane from being out here a few days! He couldn't imagine how Skye must've felt. "Did you know I was almost eaten by a mountain lion this past moon?" She mewed, giggling. "What? That's not funny!" Milo exclaimed. Skye rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Eventually the pair began to chat. Then they began to bound around. Then, then they raced through the forest. This is what it's like to be free. A free cat. That's what I am. That's what we are.

Blue froze. She all too suddenly became aware of every sound in the forest, every beat of her heart. It verberated through her bones, her legs threatening to give out beneath her. Pure adrenaline raced through the she-cat's veins, and in an instant Blue was in the pond with a mere splash in her wake. Her toes brushed the sandy bottom, her head popping up through the water as she watched the badger carefully. Goawaygoawaygoaway.. the she-cat silently pleaded, her ears pinned as she surveyed the predator with wide eyes. Her mind was clear now, the initial shock of seeing the badger gone. Without the brain fog that came with fear, Blue could see every drop of dew on the grass, every single bead of dust that hung to the predator's matty fur. She felt all too alive, and all too close to death at the same time.

The predator sniffed the air. It walked casually, with confidence. It was their forest and it didn't have a care in the world. With every step it was coming closer to Blue's location. Soon it spotted the dead, half-eaten fish on the ground and it's gaze went forward landing on the lone cat submerged in the water. In an instant it came to a decision, bared it's teeth and attacked.
