Prompt:

"The most exciting day of my life, huh?" Tigerpaw grins widely, his eyes lighting up with mischief. "It was a day that got me into the most trouble, but also where I found my calling!

"So I was alone, and I liked it that way... at least I thought I did. I was sure I was strong, brave, and able to be on my own. I was a little naive though, because I really wasn't ready. But I was too far away and too lost to even attempt to find where my family had gone, and we didn't really get along anyway. So I was traveling, wandering, and found myself in a forest. I thought the forest was empty of other cats, and thought it would make the perfect hunting grounds for myself! ... only I didn't know how to hunt.

"I tried from dawn to dusk, day after day, until I was finally rewarded with a sparrow!" Tigerpaw's claws were kneading the ground in front of them as they remembered the feeling of catching his first prey. "I purred in excitement, ready to dig in, until another voice broke into the air."

"You're stealing TreeClan prey," they had growled. I was so caught off guard that I dropped the sparrow, whirled around, and came face to face with a cat smaller than me! I don't even think I moved, just tilted my head curiously. What was a cat the same age as me doing around here?

"And then, when we both realized we weren't going to fight each other, they let me eat the sparrow, and even shared a bite, and told me about their family, their clan, and the ways of the forest! Not only did I catch my first prey on my own that day, but I found my first friends, found a place to call home, and got to meet so many great cats! I'll never forget that day and the joy and excitement it brought me. Not ever."

Prompt: It was no secret that Goosewing loved the snow, and loved their snowman building every chance he could get. Goosewing was rather known for the snowmen he would litter around the forest, using sticks, stones, and whatever else he could find in the snow for the eyes, nose, and accessories - even finding a carrot left behind by some random deer, or human, or something else a few times.

Most of the other would shake their heads in amusement and ignore the snowmen, even when the eyes fell out or when the snow become a little lopsided. But Frostflower always had another goal in mind - showing how much he cared and appreciated the little snowmen that Goosewing would leave around the forest.

Frostflower started fixing the snowmen on his daily walks in the snow. He would find new eye stones, or find sticks to replace eaten carrots, or even work on scraping some moss together to give a snowman a hat. He would watch from a distance as Goosewing would come to look at their snowmen, and be delighted at what it found. Frostflower made it part of a daily routine every single snowfall, to help Goosewing keep the magic of the snowmen alive, and as time grew on, started coming out with Goosewing - no matter if he felt too cold or the wind was blowing too hard - to show that he loved and appreciated Goosewing's hobby.

Kitty trying out for: #3802
Prompt: Havenpath's most treasured gift is a dried rose. Roses are typically given as signs of love and affection, and this one was no different. His dear friend give him this rose before traveling far away on a quest, promising to return and become his partner afterwards. The only problem? That friend still has not yet returned and it's been over a year now with no communication at all. Havenpath refuses to believe they are gone, and keeps the rose safe in a wooden box for their return.

Rank: Carpentry Apprentice
Clan: SableClan
Age: 1 year, 0 moons
Kitty trying out for: #803
Prompt: All she knew was that home wasn't home anymore. A huge band of orcs came through and pillaged her small town, ransacking every den they could find and setting the rest on fire. It was a scene out of her story book, and not a good one. Left as an orphan at just 6 moons, Mottlepaw ran. She ran as far as her small legs could take her. This, of course, would be the worst day in her life.

Fur matted and stained, Mottlepaw wandered from village to village, never feeling safe enough to call anywhere home. That all changed when she stumbled into Fawnwhisker. It was her first birthday and she was hoping to find something special in the discarded food left around at the edges of the market. She never meant to stray from the shadows but a tantalizing smell lured her over to this particular stall. Muttering her excuses, she quickly turned to run but something was different about this cat. An aura of peace and warmth washed over her and she almost collapsed right there in the street. "By the Stars, little one, you look like you've seen enough for one lifetime! May I offer you a warm bed to sleep in tonight?" Mottlepaw's mind was screaming for her to run, to distrust, to stay away. Her heart looked into Fawnwhisker's eyes and knew that everything was going to be okay.

Cat Name: Foam Sweep
Gender: afab (she/her)
Rank: trucespeaker/land hunter (beach dweller)
Clan: The Forgotten Farmyard
Age: 8 yrs
Kitty trying out for: B#746K3
Prompt:

There was a day that hit Sweep hard in the gut. She can recall the tragic event like it was yesterday. She was two at the time, a rookie. It was starving time for the Beach Dwellers. The sea life was absent and the sea crawlers were nowhere to be seen. Hail Frozenbone issued big hunting parties to sustain his hungry masses. Unsurprisingly, he grouped Foam Sweep and Ridge’s Creak to be on a hunter’s team.

The kin were in an agitated daze, barely acknowledging their surroundings. Just the day before, parent and child had a heated argument over the fact her parent favoring her brothers over Sweep. Her brothers, Jaded Pool and Shark's Bite were crowned as their Ridge's golden children, all because they're accomplished soldiers whilst Sweep decided to choose the path of a mere trucespeaker. This resistance against her parent's pressure has been going for years. Why could she be like her brothers? Sweep had enough of her parent's favoritism and just cold-shoulder them, hoping they'll get the message that their unwanted criticisms are no longer wanted.

Without keeping their ears perked for their surroundings, Ridge had tripped and fell into a trap. Sweep’s paws were suddenly running towards her parent’s screech. They were surrounded by an infuriated family of boars. Their backleg were twisted in an awkward angle, and the dip they fell into was difficult to scale. Sweep was blinded by fear, and instead of getting help from their patrol, she ran. The squeals and caterwauling rang in the air. She ran and ran for what seemed like hours. It wasn’t until she bumped into Jade did she snap out of her fear-filled haze. Her brothers and the rest of the Dwellers surrounded her, burying Sweep with their concerns. It didn’t last long as one of her group members burst into camp requesting backup.

The attack caused Ridge to lose an eye and a broken, torn leg. The camo was silent as Ridge had retold how it all happened. Sweep’s heart sank as Ridge locked eyes with her. They singled her out as a coward, spitting that she tried to murder them. As some cats were attempting to calm the hysterical cat, eyes were once again on Sweep. Sweep was punished for a year, forced to sleep outside of their circles and cleaning up rubbish. Of course, it led to some others keeping their distance from her, especially her brothers. Even the ones who were once close to her faltered when she shyly glanced at them. She was shunned for years, and she hated it so much. Her brothers looked upon her with disgust and disappointment, and as for Ridge? Sweep was in a deeper hole now.

Looking back all those years ago, Sweep pondered if she just alerted the patrol, or maybe dropped in to fight the boars, would things change? It feels too late to make an effort to clear her name, for Sweep is buried in her creeping guilt.

Kitty trying out for: #836
Prompt:

It's not morbid to talk about death. Most people don't worry about death, they worry about a bad death. -Terry Pratchett

As a morbid cat, this has got to be their utmost favorite quote. It describes his fascination for death (in his own way). Too many cats around them hate the idea of dying, but to Dull, they’re just afraid of dying without making an impact in their world.

Cat Name: Doe Dullshine
Gender: afab apothigender (ne/nim)
Rank: guardian of the grove (glow fae)
Clan: The Forgotten Farmyard
Age: 134 yrs
Kitty trying out for: B#028K1
Prompt:

Doe’s recent obsession with the “glaring eyes within the looming shrouds of darkness” is starting to freak everyone out. The constant blank stares, the mumbling, nir long-term stillness in bed instead of taking a walk, it's scary. Poor Flyswat tries to figure out what's wrong with their friend, but all they get is a deeply silent stare. Ne repeats the phrase over and over again. It doesn’t happen all the time, Ne’s mostly a social butterfly that chats with everycat, or taking nir time tending to the surrounding life. The Glow Fae’s suspect it’s just nir age catching up, or it's just some night terrors getting to Doe. It’s far from the truth. When Doe switches from nir typical wanderlust and brightness to just being blank, it’s terrifying.

Cat Name:Sootfang
Gender: Male(he/him)
Rank: Ridgeclan Warrior
Clan: Cats of the Desert
Age: 18 moons
Kitty trying out for: #836
Prompt:

"I know I'm a mess at the moment
but so is the ocean, and it still makes waves"
From Spent My Life by Kindred

Sootfang often feels like he's behind the curve, or messy and lagging behind other cats his age. He often feels like this is because he is too messy, but this lyric helps remind him that he doesn't need to be perfect to matter to those around him. Doing his best is enough regardless of where he is at in life!

Username: LOSTINUNKNOWN.
Cat Name: Euphagus Soaring At Sunfall.
Gender: Male.
Rank: Kynigós.
Clan: Astron.
Age: Twenty-six moons.
Kitty trying out for: #836
Prompt: "And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, 'I love you'. 'I love you'" Somethin' Stupid, Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra.

One of Euphagus' major flaws is that of his inability to distinguish platonic love from romantic love in regards to the few relationships he harbors with acquaintances - by consequence of a plethora of early traumas and factors beyond his control - often jeopardizing the aforementioned relationships due to misinterpreting their intentions towards him. Thus, the lyric aloft is one he favors for the manner in which it relates to his personal experiences and for the fact that singing it allows him to say "I love you" without ruining a relationship.

Cat Name: Dustbunny
Gender: Trans Molly
Rank: Medic
Clan: Overlook Station
Age: 2 years
Kitty trying out for: B#746K3
Prompt:
"You have to let him go some time."

Dustbunny looked up from the mouse she was shredding into tiny little pieces to see her spirit mentor, Duststripe, ripple into existence. Neither of them looked at the nest in the corner almost fully covered in cobwebs and moss, nor the cat with the faint, rattling breath inside.

"What are you talking about?" Dustbunny mewed, her voice a little shaky.

Duststripe pointed her tail at the nest. "Him. How many moons has it been now?"

"It doesn't matter. I can heal him, just like you taught." Really. The nerve! Dustbunny scowled down at the mouse, shredding it with more vigor than before.

"You can't bring him back to life," Duststripe said derisively. "He was squished by a monster."

Dustbunny scowled, flattening her ears. "He's not dead. He's still breathing. I can still get food and water in him."

"He's not alive either. He hasn't woken since the thunderpath, he only eats because you forcefeed him, and his breathing is faint. Besides," Duststripe's voice gentled and she stepped forwards to lick Dustbunny's shoulder with her starry tongue. "You're not living either. All you do is care for a dead cat, barely leaving the den for anything."

"You don't understand, he's my brother ." How could Dustbunny not care for him? They'd left the clans together when they couldn't accept her as she was. Every pawstep was lighter whenever he made her laugh. "I can't just leave him to die, not when I can heal him."

And yet, her eye briefly drifted to the deathberries in the corner.

"You can't. You aren't." A solemn tone entered Duststripe's voice. "All you've done is condemn him to a non-life of agony. Do you really think that with everything wrong with him, your meager offering of poppy seeds has done anything to cure him of pain? Or those injuries that barely seem to heal? His soul begs to walk among the stars, but you have kept him trapped in a body that doesn't do anything but hurt."

Oh.

Oh no.

"Is that true?" Dustbunny shrank back, feeling rather the size of a flea. "I thought you said medics could heal anything!"

"No. Sometimes we're too slow. Sometimes condemning our patients to these half lives goes does more harm than good." At Dustbunny's heartbroken expression, Duststripe softened. "I will be here no matter what choice you make. I just need you to know what you're doing if you stay."

When Dustbunny later washed her paws of deathberry juice in the stream, she scrubbed them over and over as if that could make the squeeze in her heart hurt any less. She would not go back to that den where her brother once lay. She could not bear to look his spirit in the eye if it ever chose to visit her. But even now, her dreams still take her back to that awful, awful choice.

Prompt: Have you ever seen a cat with a tinfoil hat? Well, now you have. Rosewell is convinced that creatures from beyond the stars are real, they're out to kidnap cats and turn them into stuffed toys, and if you protect your brain from their mind control rays you stand half a chance.
