Clan: Wake up Moon
Age: 165
Prompt:

“They come an’ go like any other day” She says, taking a swig of her boba before slamming the mug down and calling for another round for the table.

“Oh but c’mon, there must have been a time when you did something special, Areti.” A brown haired elf replied, pushing the topic to the clearly uncomfortable Drow in front of her.

“Aessir, do us all a favour and fill that mouth of yours with drink” A Grumpy looking dwarve would push a mug towards the brown haired elf, as the rest of the table cheered loudly at another round on the birthday girl, Areti.

“No this is…” She began, pulling her cloak closer to her chest as she pulled the next mug of boba towards her, thinking.

“This is the most I’ve ever done, truly. Sitting ere’ with you all. Drinking, laughing, and reminiscing.”

“No different than what we normally do though, ain’t that right, lads!” Another brown haired elf called out from the other end of the table.

“Exactly my point, I guess at some point in my…165 years of living I stopped caring about making the day special and just started making every day special.” She smiled and took a small sip of her boba as Aessir launched herself at her with a hug, almost causing her to spill her drink.

“I say we make a toast then, boys-” Cyrus began, raising his mug

“And gals!” Aessir added in, removing herself from Areti and grabbing her own mug to raise into the air.

“To making every day a special one, with special people and plenty of boba!” Cyrus exclaimed

“To meeting new friends to share experiences with! Like this one!” Aessir added on.

“To Areti, our Poison Dart, our masterclass in all things sneaky and conniving! Where we would be without you, well. Probably a jail cell. In fact I think that- mm mm mrrr mrr” A Bright orange haired elf woman would ramble on until Cyrus would cover her mouth, to the joy of everyone else.

They would all raise their mugs to a toast, in this small, rundown Tavern. Areti, who didn’t really care much for celebrating her birthday was still grateful to have friends and travel companions who knew her well enough to give her just what she needed. A night just like any other.

Cat Name: Mademouselle "Mouse"
Gender: Female
Rank: --
Clan: (one moment please)
Age: 1 1/2 years
Prompt: (Her name is Mademoiselle but mouse because she reminds me of a mouse for some reason.)
Mouse doesn't really like her birthday because of all the attention that follows. I mean yeah, she likes thoughtful gifts and being thought of, but so much attention... Mouse likes to be seen, but doesn't exactly like to be pointed out. Mouse is praised enough for her brains, and that's even too much attention. She tries her best to scurry off the morning of her birthday, but normally she is caught and brought back for the celebration. Mouse is too shy for this...

Cat Name: Lambear
Gender: Female
Rank: Scout
Clan: Sun Followers
Age: 4 years and 8 months
Prompt: A birthday is supposed to be a time for celebration and joy! Once every 12 moons or 'once a year' a cat will have their birthday! Lambear has her own very special tradition the clan loves. Sandytear's calls it "Find & Hug A Lambear"! The very skittish and shy molly often likes to take off early in the morning on her birthday and go hide! She hates the attention, the gathering of so many felines, it's too much! So the clan takes it upon themselves to track her down as training and a test of skill! Once you find Lambear you must give her a hug and receive a muddy pawprint as proof you found her!

Note: Happy Birthday Néktar, I hope its a good one!!

Cat Name: Mousespot the Timid
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Branchguard
Clan: 🐁
Age: 2yr (24 moons)
Prompt:

Mousespot squints in the morning light. Groaning she stretches, arching her back as she relaxes back into her nest.

It's my birthing day today

Staring at the entrance of the den, her eyes go glassy, blinking rapidly, she sniffles. Overcome with a wave of nostalgia for her younger more happier days. Well, maybe not happier. Mousespot is happy she swears by the roots she is! Just a...different type of happy, the joy of kithood without worries, the warmth of her littermates as they snuggled close, the ever present comfort and support from her mother.

They're gone now. So there's no sense in crying over something you can't change.

That's what she tells herself anyway.

Sighing she pushes herself up to her paws, tail curling in thought. Emerging into the dappled morning light Mousespots makes her way towards the fresh kill overhang. Rounding the bend she freezes, eyes growing wide in shock.

"HAPPY BIRTHING DAY, MOUSESPOT!"

Gaping, she instantly tears up. Mousespot release a shaky purr as her clan mates rush towards her, babbling over each other in excitement. She beams happily as her new family brushes against her, guiding her towards the party, jam packed with cats shouting greetings and "happy birthing day" wishes.

Her old family may be gone, but she has a feeling she can finally start to heal and build a new life, here, with The Rooted.

Cat Name: Hyacinth (Hydie)
Gender: Demi-girl (she/xer)
Rank: Med-cat Apprentice (the bloodsight)
Clan: The Darkened Sun
Age: 1 year (it’s her 1st birthday)
Prompt:
(360 words)

Hydie sorts through the many plants in the not-so-dry herb storage, painfully aware of the day it is. I mean does anyone in the Darkened Sun even keep track of birthdays?
Centipedetail certainly didn’t notice, she’s too worried about trying to make contact with the cats in the sky, or whatever she believes in. Why would she even care if xer mentor even remembers xe exists.

“Hyacinth did you finish with the Borage? I need you to go collect more cobwebs, we’re running low.”

Hydie is pulled from her dissociation by xer mentor’s request. “Yeah I’m finished, I’ll be quick.” She breathes a sigh of relief when she leaves the heavy air of the herb storage into the medicine cat den. The fighters that occupy the nests don’t even look up to greet her as she exits.
Xe finds her way to the rotten stump where xe was told to go for cobwebs, she gathers quite a few of the unoccupied webs with her tail. her thoughts are completely elsewhere, on the topic of her birthday.

So nobody remembered? Not Blanc? Not Rajma? Not even Centipedetail?? They know when my birthday is how could they forget?

Before she realizes it the sun is setting, xe knows she won’t be able to make it back to camp before dark so instead of rushing back she decides to sleep in the stump. She pulls the bright red berries that xe was glad were nearby and pops one into her mouth.
Centipedetail never explained what deathberries were, they didn’t grow around the marsh so why would she have to worry about that. She didn’t even know that her apprentice ate them regularly and had built an immunity.

“Happy birthday Hydie.”

Hydie opens her eyes to see red outlined trees and hear a familiar voice. “Thank you sir.” Xe bows her head to the small black cat with the half disconnected neck, his purple collar draped over the back of his neck.

“They forgot didn’t they?”

xe nods, looking down at xer paws. “Even Centipedetail.” The black cat places his bloodstained white paw on her berry stained black paw.

“we will never forget here.”

Cat Name: SifakaClimb
Gender: female
Rank: warrior/scout
Clan: SecludedGlade
Age: 33 moons
Prompt: While Sifaka can be shy and dread intense attention, her birthday is the one day she relaxes and embraces the attention! It's one of the only days of the year where you're supposed to get all the attention, celebration, and praise. She feels so loved and supported by her friends as she lets loose. She feels more comfortable talking about herself; her accomplishments, dreams, whatever.
