Cat Name: Volcanic Flow: Lavawool "Woolava"
Gender: oops! all xenogenders (relating to heat, fire, volcanoes, igneous rock, cooking, sheep, shepherding, and barbeque), they/it/burn/scrape/ash/pyro/emb(er)/spark/light/obsidian/grill/woo(l)/etc etc etc. all pronouns relating to topics before are okay :3
Rank: Animal Caretaker/Shepherd/Colony Cook
Clan: Alpine Roots
Age: 26 years
Prompt: Lavawool walks their daily path with a lantern swinging from tuff’s jaws, burn’s comfort sheep tucked carefully in emb’s paws. Silently, bravely, Lavawool wanders into the vast, cooling desert with nothing but a light and grill’s sheep toys every day at dusk.
Tonight, the stars are missing. A shame; Lavawool comes out here to watch the stars, usually. Chef’s never been able to sleep for more than two hours a day, so it loves to come out to the dunes, resting emb’s body in the hot sand which slowly cools overnight. Of course, all duties are taken care of by this point – Lavawool’s job comes first in every aspect of gab’s life – Lavawool just craves routine, dreams of the sand cooling around grill at night, desires the fresh feeling that comes after a night of rest and admiring the stars. The stars, which are covered tonight by rain-heavy clouds.
The nearby valley will undoubtedly be flooding, but Lavawool doesn’t mind. The desert won’t get rain tonight, but Lavawool doesn’t mind. Their fur will be drenched, but Lavawool doesn’t mind. Lavawool is just here to see, to observe, to watch the desert’s life cycle. A brilliant light will break from the horizon and spark will head home, but for now, Lavawool can just wander the desert before flame finds a place to settle for the night. As burn walks, they’re watching the sand stir up and the dune grass sway with every breeze. Watching the desert-mouse scurry and the trap-bugs hunt. Watching, exploring, seeing the desert.

Cat Name: monarchglaze
Gender: female
Rank: wanderer
Clan: the solivaganté
Age: tbd
Prompt:

pink grass crunches beneath her mottled paws as she wanders. the tiny lambs trot beside her, guiding her paws. they are her eyes and ears in this hostile world.

one nudges her front paw, and that is when she knows that she is here. she can feel belladonna and eunoia's nervous pawsteps beside her.
the chrysalis in front fluctuates, almost in greeting to the three wanderers.

the technicolour crystals melt into a watercolour rainbow of neons. this was the heart of reverie itself.
mania's paracosm. they say no cat know what lurks inside, and many have gone missing, vanished into the chaos when exploring.

that wouldn't stop monarchglaze though. her eyes may be unseeing, ears unhearing, but that would simply make her less susceptible to the chaos.
in fact, every time she'd been here, she had found peace in its centre, solace in the eye of the storm.

it was the one place she could escape from the reality of it all, from the arguments and clashes between groups and the void's touch. this was the safest place on reverie, contrary to what every cat thought.

today, she would bring her friends to see this glorious sight.

the only thing she feels is the light breeze that caresses her, and the clinking of crystals underpaw.
belladonna and eunoia stick right by her side, for the solivaganté cannot afford to lose its leaders.

however, this time something seems to have changed within the paracosm.
it does not seem docile any more.

monarchglaze strides ahead, using her nose to guide her towards the core. she smells something sugary sweet, almost like ambrosia.

she can hear the familiar wind now, the breeze that has always been gentle to her. tonight, it rushes in her ears, whistling violently.
monarchglaze takes a hesitant step back. eunoia and belladonna are uneasy, she can sense it radiating off them. everywhere, she feels the chaos.

this is not the same paracosm.
it has transformed into something worse, something that was able to instill mayhem into the very hearts of any curious souls who ventured inside.

now she realises why they were so hesitant.
somethig rumbles, and she loses her footing, stumbling into her friends.

"we've got to go now."
she sees prismatic flashes in her vision.
why can she see...?

the world erupts in a scream, a cacophony of buzzing and roaring.
the trio dashes out of the crumbling cocoon, and monarchglaze feels nothing but guilt.
her favourite place...
it was supposed to be her favourite.

"i'm so sorry- it was never this violent before, i swear."

belladonna and eunoia simply dip their heads in acknowledgement. "it's alright. but i think that's enough exploring for a long while," eunoia mews, glancing back at the maelstrom of chaos that nearly swallowed them.[/list]

Cat Name: Twistedvine
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior
Clan: Chasmclan
Age: 3 years
Prompt:
A long time ago, Twistedvine LOVED exploring. Seeing all the sights of her jungle home- the water dripping from the leaves, the colorful flora and fauna around her. Traversing the thick undergrowth with only her paws to leverage away the plants and brush that blocked her way. But that was, of course- when she was a kit, and younger cat. Now- her fur has become so overgrown she can hardly see! And can hardly appreciate all the views she once did. While a time once ago she lamented this fact- losing her sense of discovery was hard on a young cat, she's come to find alternatives that allow her to continue to do so.

Her favorite thing to explore has thus- become auditory explorations. Using her above-average hearing (Thanks to her partial blindness) to listen for new and interesting sounds- to pin them down and, just when she's stumbled across them- use her paw to lift her fur to see what amazing sights her hearing has led her to. Sometimes these are wonderful- waterfalls and rain, chirruping frogs and birds, the grating of tumbling towers of falling rocks from cliff faces around her- and sometimes more mundane. The weird and raspy half-asleep purrs of her clanmates. A kit imitating a funny voice. Her leader sighing at another patrol that fell in the mud.

For Twisted, exploring is following her ears. And sightseeing- is finding out where they've led her. And she loves it that way.

Cat Name: Hooilo
Gender: Female
Rank: Acolyte of the Caring
Clan: Flora Isle
Age: 33yrs
Prompt: Hoolio loves to climb up the mountain on Flora Isle to see all the life that only lives up on the higher elevation. She thinks its a good place to go to think and experience the nature around you to come to a decision about things. It doesn't matter if its an important or silly decision the beauty of nature will lend its silent presence to you while you work though it. The first time she did this she was just 1yr old and she was herding not only a recent Queen but four kittens up the mountain to get some of the freshest air the Isle can supply. They went in the night so they could see the nocturnal animals, a special treat for the kittens who don't usually get to stay up late enough to see them. The moon had been full above them gently lighting their trek, it almost felt like the Moon themselves was embracing their little tour up the mountain. Everyone knew the very top of the mountain was the home of the Night trio, just like the northern beach was the home of the Day duo. It was that night under the moonlight with what would soon become her best friend that left her feeling like the mountain held something special.

Cat Name: aolani
Gender: demigirl
Rank: wandering trader
Clan: jadeclan
Age: tbd
Prompt:


the mountains called like no other, a drifting melody of ice and stone, carrying with it puffs of snow in the alpine breeze. they'd always been her first friend, something to turn to when the world became a bit too much. a frosty, soundless wonderland, with sky-scraping peaks to climb and take their mind off their worries. when she was here, she could be herself. the best version of herself, worry free, no expectations or anything of the sort.

it was hard for her to slip away now, sometimes. though they'd always been a wanderer, jadeclan had recently become home of sorts for her. somewhere to rest and recoup from her journeys, a warm bed, warm breakfast.

but it wasn't just that anymore. not really. they'd tried to avoid others as much as possible at first, afraid to get attached and not want to leave, but somehow they just wormed their way into her heart. it started with emberdance, the healer who tended to her scrapes and bruises when she first ventured into clan territory. they were very much alike, becoming quick, close friends. and then came shimmershine, the fabric dyer next door to her quaint little home, who was overwhelmingly sweet and ever-thoughtful.

sometimes they came with her, venturing out into the wilderness in search of craft supplies and adventure. but they could never stay long. they had lives to get back to, family to care for, customers to satisfy. in the end, as much as they enjoyed spending time with her, they'd have to leave. and so, when she was at her loneliest, just herself and the wide, wide world, she turned to nature instead. she befriended the herd of sheep in the valley between the mountains, one of the littlest lambs following them everywhere she went. they called her maisie.

over time, this dear little lamb grew into a fine young sheep, still trotting over to aolani's side whenever they'd visit. eventually, she wouldn't let her leave her sight, no matter how far she traveled. it was a little odd, at first, to be followed step for step, but they quickly fell into a routine. they'd wake at dawn, pack their supplies from the night before, and begin the day's adventure early in the morning. maisie never minded carrying some of the weight, and so for her birthday, aolani was surprised with a gift of a plush saddlebag-like harness from their best friends, bought by ember and dyed by shimmer. her little sheep friend loved it.

together, they'd trek up the mountains, meandering through the snowy landscape and navigating the rocky terrain. maisie loved the mountains just as much as she did. they had the land entirely to themselves, especially during the winter, when the wind picked up and the snow fell harder each day. it was perfect. it was home.
