[Canis Root Tea]

Cat Name: Claude
Gender: Tom
Rank: Spy
Clan: The Renegades
Age: 3yrs 2months
Prompt: 3 tickets

Claude isn't the strongest cat, or the best hunter, or even the fastest cat. However, what he lacks in all other abilities, he makes up for it with lots and lots of charisma. This tom could smooth talk his way out of anything and come out with more than he went in with. Others underestimate him due to his seemingly ditzy behavior, but actually he picks up on everything others might not notice. That slight hesitation someone had before they answered a question? Yup, he noticed it and already has clues to what they're hiding. A quick glance in an alleyway? Looks like two rival leaders are discussing plans and it's time to do a little listening in. If you have a secret, this tom will find it and he will love every moment of it.

To be honest, Claude is a pretty chill dude and nothing much matters to him. It's hard to offend him or even get him angry, but you can be rest assured that he is in fact judging you. Like, a lot. He'd never say it to your face, though, oh no. Claude would much rather make snarky comebacks towards anyone aggressive and watch as they fumble over a comeback.

Cat Name: Flopsie
Gender: Molly
Rank: Factory Cat
Clan: The Factory
Age: 46 moons
Prompt:

Despite being a seal colorpoint just like the Factory's iron clawed deputy, Flopsie... really couldn't be more different than him, at least on the surface. Advertised on Petfinder as being a "Ragdoll" (a fact that is unverifiable and, all things considered, probably not true), Flopsie was adopted by a pair of overtired humans looking for a sweet, gentle, and loving (adult) cat who wouldn't feel threatened by their extremely active toddler. They renamed her Flopsie (the shelter she'd lived in until she was almost two years old had called her Frost) because, while probably not a ragdoll cat, she did have a tendency to flop near whoever was petting her...

She was, indeed, a very sweet cat. She tolerated the still toddling young one as he fumbled his way around her, pulled her tail a few times – but only at first, in the very beginning. His parents marveled at how quickly he learned how to act around cats with Flopsie. The child mellowed out with her to pet and play with, and they soon became nearly inseparable, the cat flopped right by his side as they chilled together.

One would think that, for all of this, Flopsie would be far more worried about the missing humans – but, surprisingly, she is not. When asked why, she’ll just shrug, say that she doesn’t think they died or anything. “Don’t you want to get back to them?” some of the other former kittypets, so attached to their humans, ask her.

Flopsie shrugs.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go back to them, doesn’t miss them at all, but… she’s also in no rush. Any one place is as good as another to her, and if her humans should come back and find another cat… she won’t be too torn up about it.

Cat Name: Hound with Sharp Teeth (Houndtooth)
Gender: transmasc (afab, he/it)
Rank: High Council
Clan: Cult of the Unknown
Age: 36 moons
Prompt:
Houndtooth never thought that they would end up where they were, but here he was and apparently, here he would stay for a while. Being the second in command to a supernatural cult was certainly... Something. He wouldn't change it for anything though, the park and the cruel magic that ran through it was home now.

The tom was pulled out of his thoughts by the low buzz of electrical equipment, a familiar sound at this point- that meant it was time to get going. He had been with The Unknown for over a year now, and the sound of the park starting up every night was honestly a welcome sound.

Houndtooth pulled himself out of his nest and onto his paws, ducking out from underneath the fallen sign that he slept under. He glanced over his shoulder at the sign as he left, tail flicking as he read the words still readable- "un ouse". Houndtooth smiled as the words flickered to life, turning a bright neon red and yellow. The night had begun, and so did his work.

Houndtooth made his way over to the broken ferris wheel, somehow the colossal ride still stood, but the control booth was missing entirely, and the ride stood completely still. He leaped into the first swinging booth, letting it settle with a loud creak as his weight made it rock back and forth for a few seconds. Only then did he lunge for the support beams, digging his claws into the plants that had begun to grow on the metal. The park had been abandoned long enough ago for nature to start taking over once more. The way to the top of the carousel was a slow one, he had to make sure he put his paws in the right spots so there wasn't a chance for him to slip. Not that he'd die either way. Their gods made sure that didn't happen.

Eventually Houndtooth reached the top, leaping into the seat that had been stopped almost right at the top when the ride shut down for the last time. He looked out over the land outside of the park in all directions, surveying, planning where to send patrols. It was a new place, one they hadn't appeared in yet. That meant no suspicion from the humans and cats alike in the area, they could pick their prey as they pleased.

Houndtooth was startled as there was a huge creak from the ride he was standing on- suddenly the lights along it's beams flared to life, and so did the tinny music that played from every ride here. The night had officially started, and he was due to send out their collectors. Houndtooth yowled as loud as he could, the harsh noise echoing through rusted metal and broken plastic. There- that would bring his clan to him for their assignments.

The ferris wheel started to move, bringing the seat he was in back towards the ground, and Houndtooth happily waited until he could jump off and be back on solid ground. There was already a group of cats assembling at the base of the steps that led up to the ride as he hopped off.

"Welcome one and all to The Unknown! Now, are we ready to bring in some lovely new lives to our great and glorious cause?" The question was met with yowls and cheers, and Houndtooth gave a sharp grin. This would be a good night for hunting.

Cat Name: cher
Gender: male
Rank: queen
Clan: moonlight sanctuary
Age: 1 year
Prompt: [over 500 words (606), 6 ticket total i believe]
Cher was a strange addition to the Moonlight Sanctuary. He appeared to them not as a cat, at first, but as a bird. He was born a snowy owl, and upon coming further down from the mountains than he had meant to and losing his way, he became a resident of the valley the sanctuary lies in. It was a struggle for him to be away from home, with the increase in heat making every activity seem more taxing. However, the food down in the valley was plentiful and easy to find, as it couldn’t bury itself in snow to hide, and there were unfrozen waters stocked full of fish. He may well have lived the rest of his life there as an owl… had he not stumbled upon and accidentally harmed one of the cats of the valley. Dustpath, the eldest son of the sanctuary’s leader, was out practicing his fishing skills in order to impress his siblings, and caught the attention of a passing Cher when he fell into the water. Cher noticed the kitten crying for help and swooped down to rescue him, grabbing him tightly in his talons and pulling him up out of the quickly moving water. His grip was tight enough to leave a couple of scratches on Dustpath’s side, and because of the bird god’s peace keeping spell over the valley which allowed cats to turn into birds (a change that would become permanent should they attempt to hunt birds taking refuge there), Cher’s actions triggered the local magic spell. Despite having no ill intent, this small injury earned Cher the punishment of transformation. He turned into a cat in the middle of trying to set Dustpath on the ground away from the river, and crashed down to the earth in confusion. Terrified and panicked, he almost ran away into the woods, but was stopped when he heard the kitten behind him crying in pain. With his heart hurting for the kitten he had unintentionally harmed, Cher decided to try to return the kitten to his home, and picked him up carefully in his mouth and set him on his back. With the softly sniveling kitten clinging tightly to his long, downy fur, Cher carefully set off for the Moonlight cats’ camp.
The birds of the area spread the news that a stranger was approaching the camp, and a few of the warriors, Rumblestep and Watch, ran out to meet Cher and assess whether or not he was a threat to the camp. Upon realizing that he was carrying one of their own to safety, however, they allowed him through and guided him to where Wispstalk’s den was so that Dustpath could get treatment. Cher refused to leave Dustpath’s side until he stopped crying, and then was brought to talk to the kitten’s father, Alucard. Alucard thanked him for saving his son and offered to allow him to stay within the camp with the other cats as he adjusted to his new life, but at first, he declined, feeling guilty for having injured Dustpath in his attempt to save him and instead leaving to go live on his own. He was tracked down within a few hours by an out of breath Dustpath who had run after him after hearing he left, and a frazzled Wispstalk who had been trying to catch Dustpath and stop him from running. Dustpath begged Cher to stay, and the former owl couldn’t say no to those big, sad eyes… and he definitely couldn’t leave after seeing how happy the kitten looked after he agreed to return with them to the camp.

Cat Name: fallendusk
Gender: male
Rank: tbd
Clan: sunclan
Age: 67 moons
Prompt:

Known for his ambition, resilience and strong-willed nature, Fallendusk is a tom both admired and despised by those around him, a constant battle between who he was and who he is today. While seemingly harboring an aura of confidence, Fallendusk is constantly at war with himself. Hailing from a dark past, Fallendusk once walked among the realm as an enemy himself, even toward those who he now calls his own. It wasn't until he more or less had a change of heart after he was captured by those of Sunclan. After meeting with one of his current close friends, Fallendusk made an effort to change his ways and Sunclan accepted him as one of their own. Regardless, all aren't supportive of this, believing him to be questionable and anxiously await the day he betrays them all. Even after pulling off a heroic feat by defending his newfound clanmates against a major threat, others are still reluctant to trust him, which has begun to truly sink in, leaving Fallendusk doubting himself. Try as he might, old habits die hard and at times, he finds himself slipping into former ways, leaving an unsettling air upon those of Sunclan. Constant doubt riddles his mind, unwilling to release its hold over him. Sometimes, he wonders if it's even worth it to continue to live among them. But he fears for himself if he happened to leave, on his own will or otherwise. Plenty are out for him and quite frankly, he knows very well that despite his skills and knowledge, he doesn't stand a chance against them. Not even in the slightest. (268/500)
