Rank: Apprentice (warrior)
Clan: TreeClan

Kitty trying out for: #2007
Prompt:

Eelpaw is quite the strong swimmer, and almost anytime she can she is in the water. For this reason, mixed with her strength and perhaps a bit of hotheadedness, she would be Carvanha! As stated in Carvanha's pokedex entry from Sapphire:

If anything invades CARVANHA’s territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this POKéMON turns suddenly timid.

Eelpaw is all talk, and will always intimidate others. However, she can be a bit nervous without anyone to back her up, and often talks tough but has a lot of anxieties underneath her tough exterior.

Gender: She-cat
Rank: Rootbound
Clan: 🌱
Age: 5yr (60 moons)
Kitty trying out for: MYO#096
Prompt:
Lynxleap lives with her found family. A clan of cats she can call her own.

She gazed down at her clan, the soft morning buzz of insects soft in her ears. High in the oak she lay, on last watch of the night, protecting her family from the unknown as they peacefully slept on. Lynxleap sighed, content, the morning light streaking through the treetops, dappling the camp in light. She can't help but let her thoughts drift back, to time when she was young. An orphan lost in the deep forest, with no home or kin to speak of.

It's profound, she thinks.

The difference between her and that empty, hollowed out shell she was back then. Before the Rootspeaker stopped Lynxleap's absent wandering, swept under the wise guidance of her tail, and protected under her wings from the ever present thoughts that had clouded her mind. Ears twitching, she hears the quiet and sleepy murmers as her clan starting to wake, blinking back to the present.

Her shift has finished, a job well done. But she'll stay here, protecting her family. For just a little while longer.

Prompt: [WC: 226/250]
A dream. A suspicious gap in time where words flow like rivers and clouds are all our hopes and dreams for the future. Lynxfeather lives in this space of golden fields and endless sunrises and sunsets as Lynxpaw. He races alongside creeks of tears and climbs trees made of swaying shadows. An odd music plays, each note different with each playful pawstep the tom left in the starsand. Time never moves here, the skies and seasons change with a gentle yet frequent chiming that holds a soft yet rapid rhythm.

A nightmare. A fracture in the mind where a stain now glares back. A place of twilight, shadows and fear. The ashes of fear is all that is left of this place, kicking up clouds destined to never rain. The sharp piercing of a thorn in the heart from words that cannot be unsaid. A pool of tears and a soft wish whispered where no one else could hear it. Pain so sharp all breath was gone for miles.

Polly would gain nine lives, all to give them away again if she could just say she was sorry. She attempts to change where he lives in her mind: maybe he’s older now, maybe he’s happy, maybe he has kits or is the deputy of a clan… but anything conjured fades away like a sigh through smoke.

Pink! Oh wondrous, beautiful, illustrious, gorgeous and refined Pink! He had never seen pink before until he had seen Runewish’s eyes. They were so captivating. So soft yet sharp. He spends way too much time trying to find other things that are pink out and about. It has developed into a bit of a hobby at this point. If he finds anything pink, even if it belongs to two legs, he will take it and hide it away. He currently has: dead pink flowers, a pink orb that clinks when he bites it AND a strand of silky fabric. His clanmates think he takes his little stash way too seriously.

A wilting peace lily sits on the only windowsill, bathed in the neon flicker of advertisements. The light leaking through the window illuminates the small apartment.
Someone lives here. The rent is paid, and the heat stays on.
Someone lived here once. There's two mugs leaving rings on the tabletop, across from each other as if in conversation. An unmade bed. A molding green onion in the fridge. Dishes, unwashed in the sink - remnants of a meal for two.
Someone is supposed to live here, but Mox hasn't come home since the disappearance of Reznor.
The guilt gnaws somewhere under their pelt. If they were brave enough to be home, they could scour every corner of the net for mentions of their beloved tom. If they were brave enough to be home, they could turn every pebble for a clue. If they were brave enough to be home, they'd have to face how empty the apartment is without him. The lack of his purr as he waters his plants. The lack of his warm laughter rumbling beside them. The lack of it all.

Mox Molly cannot face going home, so they throw themself into the world outside. They live in the bar of every bartender who might have seen something, on the step of every possible informant. They live in fractions of messages pulled from passersby - in scraped clips of NHPD security footage. In the absence of their partner's life, Mox does not step away. They live to find him.

“Hey Nighteye, what are you doing here?” Her body froze.
This cheerful voice sent shivers down her spine like no other.
He was always friendly up front, but she had seen the look in his eye when he was less than pleased about something. His eyes dripped with deadly hatred, she hated nothing more than being around Cedarclaw. She swore she’d never be caught alone with him for fear she might have to face that chilling expression. She did her best to put on a brave face…

They stared up at the sunset sky with a blissful sigh, “well there’s just so many to choose from! I do adore the beautiful warm hues the sun washes over the skies at this time, almost like it is being set alight.” He shifted as he thoughtfully considered the question posed to him. “I think my favourite colour is green? Nothing quite makes me feel the way that spotting some of the first budding sprouts after winter does. It has the power to heal, and rarely hurts I think I really do love green…”

Username: LOSTINUNKNOWN.
Cat Name: "Râs de Munteanu", "Lúnx Órous", Nightjar Talon Bearing Cicada (Colony Name).
Gender: Male.
Rank: Spartan.
Clan: Astron.
Age: Seventy-three moons.
Kitty trying out for: MYO#096
Prompt: Despite his exterior residing within the confines of Astron territory, Nightjar lives in the past - his mind ceaselessly mulling over the circumstances resulting in the life he leads, the scarce rememberance of his kithood in Romania, his companionship to Owl In Thick Forest and his brother at crossroads, his subsequent integration into the colony, and all he has left behind via both travels and the retrograde amnesia of his youth. This indulgence in contemplation over past events caused him to neglect the future he holds in Astron and stagnate his personality as it stood, often resulting in impulsive or childish decisions, which has served to threaten his role as a Spartan in past moons. Be that as it may Dawn Billowing Against Ptarmigan has made an effort to softly remind him of reality and drive him to consider future endeavors.

Username: stargazingshark
Cat Name: sunburst / sun's light rippling over the fields
Gender: male
Rank: warrior
Clan: the darkened skies, previously a dawn riser cat
Age: 1 year, 6 months
Kitty trying out for: #900c
Prompt:

a prophecy that they were the one to become power-hungry and almost evil. terrified by the prophecies, sunburst's mother had been quick to deflect all and any rumors that spread about him, silencing all her clanmate's doubts and murmured insults. sunburst had adored his mother for being so kind, yet this quickly grew into overprotectiveness. she seemed to almost suffocate him as he grew older, always worrying about this or that. eventually he grew tired and bitter, sneaking off to see friends or play with the other apprentices.

but he was starting to get too comfortable. a strange black cat came to him one day, speaking of power and respect they could give to him if they made a deal. he contemplated for a good hour or so, discussing it with the weird outsider, but his mother caught him, exploding on him and dragging him away. the shadowy cat slipped away before he could call them back, much to his disappointment. back at the dawn risers camp, his mother lectured him and yowled about the prophecy with distress clear in her trembling voice.

after a few more days, his mother came to take him somewhere. is she punishing me? but as they walked, he noticed his siblings with him, and recognized the path they were walking— they were going to see his other mother, in the darkened skies! but yet, as they found her, he saw his parents discussing with worried looks, occasionally glancing back at him. his fur spiked with annoyance. what now? is she trying to shame me in front of my other mom, too? but before he could hiss a bitter comeback, his other mother trotted forward to pick him up by the scruff, beckoning for his siblings to follow as they padded towards the darkened skies camp. his heart slammed in his chest as he realized. she's leaving me and my siblings! but he didn't get a chance to call over his shoulder as he glanced back.

sunburst jolted awake, fur bristling like a bush of thistles as his unsheathed claws tore into the soft moss and feathers beneath him. his ears twitched. he looked around, half-expecting to see his fellow dawn risers. instead, he caught glimpses of pelts through the vines draped over the den entrance, and his ears drooped in disappointment. right. i forgot .. i'm not a dawn riser anymore.
