Chipper ~Rogue~ Tag: River
Chipper looked as if he was only half listening but he heard every word that came out of River's mouth. *A large group of cats? Around here?* he thought, only flicking his tail slightly. He stayed silent for a moment while in thought before he glanced away, "No... I don't think i've heard of any groups of cats around here. You're actually the other cat i've seen in a long time." he said plainly. "I don't think its... impossible." he continued, "I just arrived here, wandering, but i don't pay attention to rumors, nor have i seen another cat besides you here." His voice seemed honest enough but the truth was he had a tendency to zone out while he walked so he could have passed another cat without even knowing it... but he wasn't about to admit that to a total stranger.

Hopestar || Leader || Tag: Shadeheart, Tansyvine, Thistlepaw, Cosmos, Smokey

Hopestar noticed the change of excitement in Thistlepaw which made her regret her harsh choice of words. "Probably not," She addressed the apprentice, but then laid the tip of her tail on Thistlepaw's shoulder. "But it would be a good training point for you." Suddenly, from up ahead deep in the undergrowth, Hopestar heard a commotion. "Quiet!" She hissed. "Follow my lead." She dropped into the hunting crouch and moved forward ever so silently.

Through the undergrowth, she could make out two toms, definitely rogues by the sight and smell of them. One, a charcoal mackrel tom, stood over a rabbit while the other, a tan tom with black points, seemed to be harassing the other for his share. The hair along her spine prickled with surprise. Not one, but two rogues within their territory?! Hopestar couldn't stand for that. She emerged from her hiding place to knock over the tan tom and pin him beneath her claws. She signaled for either Shadeheart or Tansyvine to do the same with the other.

"You're trespassing on RainClan's territory!" Hopestar snarled.

Shadeheart || Warrior || Tag: Hopestar, Tansyvine, Thistlepaw, Cosmos, Smokey

The dark grey warrior continued following along, quiet for the time being as he observed their surroundings while they moved away from their camp. However, when Hopestar had taken notice to a commotion, he dropped himself down to a crouch and slunk after her, whiskers twitching as he took in the scents in the air. Definitely not clan cats by the scent and two males to add to that. That didn't seem good.

He remained where he was for the time being as his leader made her move against the tan tom, eyes trained on the the trespassers and his leader. At the signal he, too, launched himself out towards the darker of the two, aiming to pin him down with a warning growl as he flexed his claws against him. It wasn't like he wanted to go all out and inflict pain right away, but he'd fight if it came down to it.

"I'd suggest your next moves be very careful, rogues... You two are sorely outnumbered." He spoke up, voice level and not so cheery as it normally was, though he was rather serious at the moment in the first place.

(Time to turn in for the night, gotta probably work tomorrow morning!)

Tansyvine ~Warrior~ Tag: Hopestar, Shadeheart, Thistlepaw, Cosmos, Smokey
Tansyvine followed silently behind her leader when Hopestar turned suddenly and called for them to be stealthy. It didn't take long for them to hear the commotion as well, two toms bickering over a rabbit it looked like... On our territory! As Hopestar leapt out she glanced at Shadeheart who also followed, going to pin the other tom to the ground. She gestured to Thistlepaw to follow them as well, she didn't say anything but made sure that her presence was also known to the two intruders.

With another quick shrug River continued. "That's sad to hear for you friend. To be honest I found out these rumors from over hearing a few cats. Not actually mingling with them hehe." River said with a chuckle. He had spent along time alone himself. Its been almost 12 moons since Mama Odie died of old age. He had truly been alone ever since though he could sometimes be caught over hearing others. He looked around them. The distant sound of yelling could be heard but it was so faint that he had to sit in silence for a moment to hear the soft faint sound. 'Ok, Not going there for a while. Add that to the list of no thanks.' He told himself in his head as he looked back to Chipper. "Well then do you like living alone?" he asked the tom. 

(EDIT : OOC/ i would think River and Chipper would be able to hear it but as a very faint sound. You can correct me if i am wrong)

Pebblepaw (F) | Med Cat App | Location: RainClan Territory | Mentions: Sky Eyes

"Really?" She couldn't help but to feel proud in that moment, being apart of a tradition so big and so far-reaching, something that went so far back in generations that it could hardly be tracked. She never imagined that twolegs, of all creatures, might have used herbs at some point. They seemed too daft and strange for such things.  "Maybe on a rainy day, you'll have to tell me some of these stories." Pebblepaw spoke with a hint of hope in her voice before she trotted after the pastel tom.

The silver tabby paused before the leafy-greens that Sky Eyes was observing, taking note of their appearance and color. They looked healthy enough- perhaps a good sign that the seasons would be kind to them? She gave them a quick sniff to note their scent as well, before peering back up at her mentor curiously.

She nodded at his instruction before carefully working her pale paws into the earth in order to dig up the chervil. She was cautious about ensuring that she didn't snap any of the roots, else the rest of the earthy tendrils might be lost. This was when having small paws came in handy. Pebblepaw did her best to avoid the roots of grass and other nearby plants before she successfully uprooted the entire plant. Picking it up in her jaws, she winced at the taste of gritty earth. "How much should we pick?"

Murtagh (M) | Rogue | Location: Forest | Mentions: Raven 

It felt as if his stay in this tree was overwelcomed, like it was time to move on. Perhaps it was the frequent nuisance of rodent chatter, or perhaps it was his gut trying to tell him something else. Regardless, Murtagh believed in responding to his instincts. Many cats died from ignoring them, and he didn't intend on joining those ignorant furballs in the afterlife- whatever that might be. He rose in a semi-stretch, keeping his triangular ears perked and alert. 

The sure-footed feline skillfully navigated his way down the tree as if he had been one with the rodents in which he caught and ate. He descended but a branch or two before something caught his eye. It was a furry shadow situated a few branches below, perhaps the stranger that he'd detected before. It appears that they didn't move on after all. This gave him every right to feel cautious. 

However, this new face was preening themself like a paranoid bird- a killer didn't try to make themselves look their best before committing a crime. Clearly, this young feline was no direct threat. "If a cat is more concerned about your appearance than your intentions, then that cat is shallow and clearly not worth your time."

Cosmos | Tom | Rogue | 33 Moons | Location: Forest with Smokey | Mentions [Direct]: | Mentions: [Indirect] Smokey, Hopestar, Tansyvine, Thistlepaw, Shadeheart

Cosmos was too distracted to notice the scent of clan cats near them. He cursed under his breath as a clan cat pinned him down. He lowered his ears and hissed, thrashing under the she-cat's grasp. "And you're trespassing on my personal space", he spat back at the she-cat. He wriggled free of the cat's claws and jumped back. There were three clan cats, no, four, but the fourth was smaller. There was no way that Cosmos could take them on, and he doubted that Smokey would help him fight. He bolted towards the only cat just standing there, aiming to knock her on her back, and make an escape. 

Not sure if Tansyvine was next to reply, if not i can delete this! Gonna be layin down for a bit after this reply though))

Tansyvine ~Warrior~ Tag:Hopestar, Shadeheart, Thistlepaw, Cosmos, Smokey
It all happened in seconds, them leaping out, the one cat ramming into her. She was a bit stunned but only for a split second before trying to block the path of the cat that had escaped from Hopestar's paws. "Don't run, I don't think any of us want to end up getting hurt from this." she said glancing at the other 4 cats.

Chipper ~rogue~ Tag: River
The tom's ears flicked as he too heard some distant yowls, he only glanced for a second before looking back to River. "Seems like i was right about the hospitality around here..." he mumbled under his breath. He blinked slowly at the question he was given, "Well... I guess i've been alone long enough to not care." Chipper hmmed. "I can catch my own food, travel where i want to, not have anyone nag about stuff... I- well like i said, not too many friendly faces around here so im fine with keeping my head down and avoiding others... if i can help it." he said roughly. "Although," he glanced at River, "you don't seem to be the 'loner' type... correct me if im wrong." he added.

(I apologize for being absent for a while, I'm having a really hard time in school and I'm struggling quite a bit. Could someone just give me a short summary of whats been happening?)

Maplefur - Elder - Tags: Open

After Hopestar left with her patrol, Maplefur decided to go on his walk. He never strayed too far from camp, his old bones wouldn't let him. The smell of water mixed with the forest was a pleasant scent, and he inhaled it greedily. There were scents of other cats, but he wasn't too worried. After all, the patrol would take care of it. Now, if he did come across one... what would he do? He hasn't fought in years, but he still remembered how to fight. No time to dwell on it. Now, are there any feathers or shells along the riverbank... His eyes narrowed as he inspected the ground for any trinkets to decorate the Elder's den and Nursery with.

Moon - Young Rogue - Tags: Mentions the patrol

The rabbit still hanging from her jaws, Moon startled as the patrol came into contact with two fighting toms. The cats were most certainly larger than her. She crouched down further into the bush, hoping to hide her presence. She gasped softly as one of the toms leapt at the closest she-cat. The peace offering she brought with her now seemed irrelevant. These cats are not friendly.

He gave another chuckle. "Ya caught me. I've only been by myself for 12 moons. I use to have a very old molly to talk to. She was a former Kittypet but she knew very well what to do to survive. Sadly she passed on so ive been staying around other cats even though i don't talk to them. I guess you can say i spy on them." he says before he begins licking his paw. River seems to be enjoying himself during this little chat. After cleaning his head he looked to the direction of the sound again. He didn't know why but he just kept praying in his mind that that wouldn't come over here.
