Cats of the Meadow (WC rp started)

Sunstar
she/her - Leader - Tags: Hollytangle
Sunstar nodded. She knew she shouldnt but the big she-cat put her tail on the others. Sunstar looked down and thought about what she wanted to say. "Thank you Hollytangle." It took a couple of seconds but the leader practically jumped out of her fur.
"I need to go sort out patrols!" She stood up and waited a second for Hollytangle to follow her.

Strawberrypaw
He/they - Apprentice - tags:Eeriepaw
"Ok!" Strawberrypaw followed the black cat, trying to hide in her shadow. He was much more likley to be caught than the dark she-cat. He was resisting the urge to talk the whole time. Strawberrypaw knew they would get caught if he kept jabbering like a thrush in the trees. Honestly he was scared that if he irratated Eeriepaw to much she'd leave him in the woods.

EAGLEDAWN | male | Clan guard | apprentice- | Crush- | tags: open

He made his way toward the nice place near the camp the hidden little shadowed hole under a large tree. It was once a den for a badger, but that was long ago and so far he didn't know anyone except for him to use that den. He made quick greetings to Fallenrains as he walked to bring some of his caught preys to the pile "at least the hunting is going well' he thought to himself. He made a look toward another clan guard too there, thinking that he could take care of the guarding for now, as he was taking his rest now.

NEWTSPARK | female | warrior | apprentice- | Crush- | tags: Stormsky

She waited for something to happen, but so far nothing happened. She started to feel bored when she at least saw the deputy at the center area of the camp 'how I didn't see her earlier?' she thought to herself, wondering if she was maybe a little too sleepy still. She looked at her for a moment, before making her walk toward her "morning Stromsky are you maybe thinking of the morning patrols? I am volunteering to join either of them?" she meowed to her, giving a small greeting to Greywhisker as well.

ICEPAW | female | apprentice | mentor-| crush Dewpaw | tags: Fallenrains

She sat there watching the adult cats doing whatever they were doing, which was nothing really just waiting and talking to each other. She looked at Fallenrains as he walked back to the camp, with some prey "nice catch you have in here Fallenrains..." she meowed to him "um, are you going out for a hunt again? could I maybe join you? I am not allowed to go out by myself so...I...um I want to be useful to my clan even somehow so catching prey could be good as a start for that right?" she meowed to him.

Having finished his vole the silver cat rises from where he'd settled: too tired to sleep. Instead, he picks up a thrush and pads over to his leader, SunStar, quietly setting the kill by her paws. "Forgive me for intruding," is began in a quiet voice, "but I thought you may be hungry, "

A warm half smile finds his face and the silver cat dips his head in greeting to HollyTangle before turning to continue his duties. Where are the apprentices? He'd like to take EeriePaw or IcePaw out for some hunting, but first he's going to take a few kills to the elders, the nursery and the medicine cat, just to see if they're hungry. Or need anything else.

Again he selects a kill, this time his large rabbit, and heads for the nursery. "Soon as I deliver a few kills to the elders, and the medicine cat, IcePaw." Is answered in a purr, "you can come too. I don't mind. 'Specially if you help me deliver. " His ears flick before he ducks into the nursery to deliver the kill and the pulls his head out. "Does that sound good to you?"

indentation As he ate the large tom surveyed the clans camp, watching his clan-mates. The apprentices seemed to be doing something, but he ignored them, despite the fact that they were almost always trouble. At least it seemed that way. He silently watched as his clan-mates wandered around the camp, and paused when he spotted Autumnleaves alone, eating her meal. After quickly scarfing down the rest of his meal, the tom frowned, got to his paws, and trotted over. " Good morning Autumnleaves," he started gruffly," do you mind if I join you, if only for a bit of company?" He questioned politely.

mentions; none tagged; Softpetal & Sparkflare

indentation Her eyes flickered open as the sound of pawstep grew near, and the tortoiseshell she-cat looked up as her cousin and pseudo-brother Sparkflare and the clan's Healer; Softpetal, padded over. Raising her head as the two reached her, she smiled. "Good morning you two, especially you Sparky." She greeted softly, returning Sparkflares silent greeting of touching noses. Turning her attention to the healer as she spoke, the she-cat chuckled, "Oh yes, quite well. My belly is full, in more ways than one." she joked, whiskers twitching with humor. "Did you want to check up on the little ones?" She asked, tilting her head. Honestly, Lilysplash was quite glad that she'd decided to come outside the nursery today, the weather seemed nice enough today, and she wouldn't be in the cramped nursery all day.

Sparkflare
❝The Flame❞

mentions; none tagged; Softpetal & Lilysplash

indentationCarefully darting over the fresh-kill pile, the tom set down his catches and swiftly returned to the pretty she-cat. Purr rumbling in his throat, the ginger tom trailed over to his pseudo-sister, walking next to Softpetal. As the healer sat down, the large feline reached forward and pressed his nose to Lilysplash's in a silent but warm greeting. "Good morning, Lils." He purred softly, his tail curling tail around his big paws.

Sunstar
she/her - Leader - Tags

Sunstar looked surprised. "For me? Thank you Fallenrains." She gave him a nod of appreciation. She really hadnt expected any cat to care for her in this manner. She knew that some of her clan was uneasy about her choice in deputy. But her day was looking up. Sunstar started to feel better already.

Softpetal
she/her - Healer - Tags:

The pretty grey she-cat nodded. She tried to chat with both of the cats with her while she worked but she found herself getting lost in her thoughts. Softpetal was wondering what Meadowstar, or her mother, woukd have said about her hopless crush on Sparkflare. Even if she wasnt the clans medicine cat, he still wouldnt be interested. But she was, an he was a warrior. Softpetal shook her head. "Ok, Lilysplash, you look ok! Other than you being so very pregnant." She smiled "they should be out any day now" she placed her tail gently on the other she-cats.

--- ♡ Moss(kit) ♡ ---

The tiny calico kit is limping, somehow she and her mama had ended up in a river. And somehow she and mama got out. Only mama isn't breathing well, and they're both covered in mud, dripping water. Where are they? She opens her mouth to ask when her mama coughs harshly again - like she'd been doing for the past moon. What's wrong with mama? A shiver runs through the kits' pelt and she doesn't dare go near her mama. Mama said to keep up with her, but to not get close. Something about her getting a cough too. Not too long after her mama falls - and doesn't get up again. That breathing is labored, and the shivers subside until her mama looks at Moss with cloudy eyes, "I think I'm going to go swim Mossy." Says her mama, "I'm so hot."

How can mama be hot? Moss is freezing! "Mama wait -" protests the kit, but the calico patched adult cat ignores her plea.

"You stay here Moss, since youre cold still." Is ordered by her mama, and the kit nods obediently. Where would she go? Theyre lost! Mamas' voice is strange, and she's getting back into the water! They'd just got out too, and it's the middle if the night. "I'm going to cool off."

The kit shivers again, "Mama, is it fun? Are you cool now Mama?" Again her mama pays no mind, wading further into the water, dunking herself to 'cool' off, mud eddying about before its washed away. "Mama that's so far!" Cries Moss, her heterochromia eyes welling with emotion, and fear of the dark "please Mama come back!" Her mama starts to cough again and her footing is loosened... and suddenly the mother cat is pulled under the water. She's rushed downstream....

Moss stays. Mama said to stay.

The tiny kit curls up on the bank, falls asleep as the sun rises. Mama would come back, wouldn't she? And Moss has to stay, else, how would her mama find her? She sleeps even though her belly rumbles, even with the mud caked to her fur and even when the suns' warmth finally dries the mud and she starts to warm a bit. Under the top layer of dried river mud the rest is still wet. "Mama!" Is cried in her sleep, tears welling in her eyes.

Two days pass on the river bank inside the clans' territory, and the kit stays in the same spot. Mama said to stay, and Moss has to stay. Farther down the river the water logged form of a she-cat washes ashore. The tiny kit cries almost constantly...


(Can someone please find her?)

--- ☆ FallenRains ☆ ---

Blue eyes sparkle at the clan leader, SunStar, he's about to grab another kill to deliver but he pauses to emphatically say, "of course my friend!" Does she know he would always be willing to listen? To lend advice?

Hopefully now she knows he is on her side.

The warrior continues his self appointed tasks until they are finished; Kills are deposited at the nursery, the elders, the injured in the medicine cat den, and finally to the medicine cat herself, SoftPetal. With a bit of unwarranted pep in his step the silver pelted he-cat returns on his rounds, back to IcePaw. "Ready to go little Miss?" Is questioned in his rough, yet comforting, tones. "We are burning daylight. "

~ Droopingrose ~

Drooping'rose put a paw over the mourning kits back and sighed* "Everything will be alright little one." *She whispered, her eyes glittered with grief as she studied the kit* "Come along now, I'll warm you up and we can go back to camp. Your mother wants you to be safe, not shivering."

--- ♡ Moss(kit) ♡ ---

The kit jumps under the paw of the adult cat, and turns to look up at the other when the adult speaks - the only clean part of her tiny face is where the tears have ran down and dripped onto the pebbles that make up the rivers' bank. "Wh-wheres Mama?" She asks in her teeny kit voice, her tiny kit nose sniffling, milk teeth chattering. "Mama s-said to s-s-stay." Is said by Moss, as she rises to her paws - the front two are swollen from her claws being taken away. (Not that the kit understands that, just that she is cold, hungry and hurting.)

She doesn't move from under the paw of DroopingRose. How does this cat know where her Mama is? How does this cat know what her Mama would want? Another shiver runs through the tiny creature, whiskers laden with mud drops, tail weighed down the same. "O-okay." This time Moss does move, just to cuddle next to DroopingRose's front legs - lifting her front paws exageratedly until she sits still again.

"I'm hun-ng-gry." Now that she's not alone the tiny animal pays attention to being cold, dirty and hungry. Yes, she misses her mother, but.. Mama WOULD want her to be taken care of for when she gets back.

Droopingrose

*Her eyes grow soft as she began to clean the kit before she stopped* "Your mother has gone to a better place, where she will be watching you always." *The she-cat murmured softly* "Your mother only wanted you to stay for a moment, she wanted you to feel pity. What she did was indescribable." *She blinked sorrowfully before she picked the kit up lightly* "We'll get prey once we go to the meadow, alright?"

[Alpha*]

--- ♡ Moss(kit) ♡ ---

She doesn't understand - what did Mama do? What is pity? Why did Mama want her to feel it? How can Mama see her and watch her always? "But the water took Mama." Is said in confusion, heterochromia eyes shining with tears again.

The tiny kits' feet and tail are tucked close to her belly as she's picked up; relief surges through her little body that she doesn't have to walk. Her feet HURT, and she's tired. And cold - and this cats' breath is warm on her neck, and that's nice. "Mama calls me Mossy, Moss." The kit says, not expecting an answer, "I was in the water from the human nests, Mama and I got out of a human nest, the human was mean, but a big monster bit Mama and threw her! And she was carrying me and we got in the water-" the kit chatters without realizing that what she's saying is weird.

"Do you know what a human is? They have bright pelts on part of their bodies that they can put different like we change our nests. They don't have much fur." Is said, as if this adult cat doesn't know what a human is. "And their nests have holes you can't climb out of but you can see out of it." Her whiskers tremble again, "I don't want to go back to the humans. They hurt my paws, that's why Mama got us out.. that's why we had to go."
