City Lights<->Semi-Lit Alley Cat Roleplay [Open :3]

[duckteeth]

[He's endeared himself to me because of Squirrel, though x3]

Bandit nearly jumped up in excitement. Maybe Strike really had been there. If the food was as good as Thirteen had said then maybe she'd actually be there. Strike wasn't stupid, she'd stay in a place where the food supply was good, wouldn't she? "D'you wanna go see?" she asked, eyes bright. Even though he was very excited to see her sister, she didn't want to let herself get too excited. There was a chance it wasn't her or that she hadn't been there at all. But she still had hope.

(No I completely understand they are so cute it is unbearable. ;-; So naturally, something bad will happen to them. /generallyhowitworks xD)

Foxglove shot Mordecai an amused glance, moving back until she was stood next to him again. Letting out a sigh, she tilted her head at him, "You didn't scare me Mordecai, I'm already scared. I'm scared that I can't remember anything, and that something like that will happen again, or that this time you get killed or something horrible and I'm left all alone," Again, she added silently, "But we both need to stop worrying. Everything will be fine this time (famous last words :U) and we'll keep each other safe. And whoever this Layla is, well, she can bring it on, because if she had anything to do with what happened I'll rip her head off." Foxglove let out a huff, a glimmer of her old big-headedness shining through. She smiled at him as he nuzzled her, and she pressed her cheek against his for a moment, closing her eyes.

(brb, dying from cute. -crawls away-)

Robin gave her a bemused look as she jolted herself upright, looking surprised, He considered her for a moment, as if wondering whether she was telling the truth, then nodded. "Okay. If it starts to hurt, just tell me and I'll..." Pausing for a moment, he cocked his head to one side: what would he do? "I'll sort it out." Smiling quickly at her, Robin rose to his paws and padded past her to the den. "I'm just going to have a lie down. Feel free to go and eat if your hungry. Wake me up if anything happens." He settled himself down in the crate, tucking his tail across his legs.

[honeydont]

{D'aww.}

Thirteen jumped up, excited that Bandit was excited. "Of course!" She chriped, eyes dancing. "Let's go find Strike. I miss her too." Thirteen still remebered the day Mama had brought Bandit's sister home. The'd become friends, or at least she thought, hoped they had. "Which way's the park?"

~ ~ ~

Tannaheare reasted his head against the fire hydrant, feeling the chill metal bite into his skin. He closed his eyes for a moment and stifled a yawn. A pang shot through his belly all of a sudden and he grimaced. Of course. He'd forgotten to eat. The massive tom got to his feet and began to pad down the sidewalk, keeping close to the buildings. Even though few humans were out at this hour, he'd rather not take his chances. Tannaheare's ribs still ached from when a drunk man had slammed his boot into the cat last week. Deciding he didn't want any rotten refuse for fod, he headed towards the park. Maybe he could catch a pigeon or two.

Ghost grimly walked along the edge of the road, silver-blue eyes glinting dimly in the streetlights. Fog was beside her, lecturing her about how lucky they were they were able to escape without a fight with the tom. "You could've gotten hurt!" He insisted sternly, giving his tail a furious lash, "And that wouldn't have done anything." With a growl, Ghost retorted, "I can take care of myself, so you can just shut your mouth. Besides, I never asked you to defend me.... I could've shredded that tom!" Without another word, the she-cat ran off, leaving Fog behind. The tom shook his head and started to follow, but then a sound caught his ear. Heading towards it, he saw a two toms, a she-cat, and what seemed to be.... A kit? Taking a few hesitant steps towards it, Fog couldn't help but continued walking towards it, as if drawn in by its large blue eyes....

Cleo nodded, getting up and managing to drag herself and the prey into the den. Placing the pidgeon in a corner and her head on her paws again, she closed her eyes. All she wanted to do was sleep, she was just so, so tired. With a small sigh, she scootched over so that she was beside Robin, and managed a small smile, a quiet purr escaping from the throat.
(Slight Wb for her...)

[Like everything on the original thread? xD
Pfft I'm already dead from the cute. She's so protective over him it's so sweet. And he's so concerned with her feelings and everything. ;-;

Heare and Squirrely need to meet up. Seriously.]

Mordecai smiled brightly at Foxglove. He was so lucky to have met her. No one else had ever been even close to this kind to him. This caring. Not even his parents or siblings. They'd been awful to him too. "If she tries to touch you I swear I'll kill her." he said, eyes glinting with a ferocity that wasn't very common for the tom. "I won't let her tear us apart or anything like that. And since we both seem to want her dead if she does anything to one of us, then I think we have a better chance of...of defeating her." The fact they were discussing this cat they didn't even know why they disliked amused him somewhat. Still, he was scared.

Bandit had juped up and was ready to follow Thirteen to this park when she asked where it was. A look of something near horror crossed her face. "You mean you don't remember where the park was?" Bandit stared at Thirteen. How on earth was this going to work out? How were they supposed to find a park. "Do you have any idea as to where it could be?"

-time skip that doesn't affect anyone else because we're badass-

When Robin awoke a while later, he found Cleo curled up beside him, still deep in sleep. Smiling slightly, he rolled over, being careful not to disturb her, and pulled himself to his paws. After squeezing round her body and out of the crate, he let out a sigh. Strangely, he felt happy. At peace. He could stay here, looking after Cleo, forever. But that wasn't how it worked in the city. Sooner or later, whether he liked it or not, something was going to happen. It always did. There were never any happy endings. Dropping his gaze to his paws, the tom stayed that way for a while, silent, thinking about nothing except what was to come.

(xD
Eeeeee, I know, it's heartbreakingly sweet. <3 and also they have a better relationship than any I've ever been in /shot my love life = awful)

Foxglove smiled back at Mordecai, looking away briefly to study the alley again. Thankfully, no one had emerged from it yet. She turned to face him again as he spoke. With a carefree laugh, she butted his shoulder, "And no one will get past you. I guess I'm safe then," Flicking her ears back, her own expression became more serious, "But seeing as she isn't going to touch either of us, she won't separate us. Or anything. We'll just keep an eye out for a while, we don't want to hurry into anything and mess it up." Foxglove tapped her tail on Mordecai's back, "Come on, oh strong, fearless protector. Lead me to a safe place where we can both rest. If we don't get a move on, Layla'll see us when she comes out--" Oops. She's specifically not told Mordecai that Layla had been in the alley because she hadn't wanted to worry him. Great. And also, she hadn't wanted him to cotton on to where she'd disappeared off to if he woke up in the night and noticed she'd gone. Because her and Layla really needed to have a little chat. Somewhere away from Mordecai, because no matter what he said, he wasn't getting involved. He wasn't a fighter, or a killer, that was Foxglove. She had the experience, unfortunately.

Layla.
She blinked, surprised Julian was soo nice. She let a slight purr come up, before smothering it and blushing a light pink, allowing an embarassed smile. "Alright. Thanks, Julian." She said softly, getting up and stretching, shooting the other cats a glance, before starting to pad slowly away from the alley. She stopped to check back to see if Julian was coming. Her head tilted and she watched him with those big blue eyes of hers. A light smile formed, and she beckoned him with her tail. "I could show you around the city, if yuo'd like. Unless you already know your way around?" She ended it in a question, even though she was guessing he knew very little about the city.

(@ Yami and Fridgy: Zeus and Squirell could chance upon Tannaheare, since we left them with Fish Bones kinda hanging around after the fight. Just an idea :) )

[MintCat]

Fog continued to follow the she-cat, even though he paused briefly when he noticed the tom beside her. However that didn't stop him, and he continued to walk, not even sure why he was doing so. Ghost had told him never to attract too much attention, and even he agreed to the rule. So why did he want for the little she-cat to talk to him? Why did he want her to think he was important and to talk to him....?
(Tiny bit of Wb...)

-Timeskip since I really don't want to RP out Cleo's random dreams and such. -
Cleo finally awoke, though she didn't move a first. The only thing that she did that could signal her awakening was the slight twich of her ears. Then one eye opened, and then the other. This was a rather usual waking up "ritual" for her, and she thought nothing of it as she gave her tail a shake, and then streched her hind legs, one after the other. Then she raised her rump and streched her spine, and after that, she extended her forepaws, unsheating her claws. Finally, she lifted her head up and shook her head. Cleo sat up and looked at Robin, smiling. "Did you have a nice nap?" Cleo chirped happily, eyes wide.
