Re: In Moonclan - Arriving, Quick Discussions, and a Hesitant Departure

OOC: *takes off hat to Loki* Don't mention it. afro

IC: Talltree looked, dismayed to see that even Sunclaw was following Stormstar out of the camp.
He felt as though he was in the depths of despair, clawing the ground as viciously as he could.
"Are we going to stay," asked Raypaw softly, timidly.
The dark tom slowly looked at her. Something odd happened, then. His expression, so grieved only moments before, had melted away. To what, I cannot name, but he mewed, "No. We'll follow them - the Clan must stay together, after all."
That said, he set his tail on her shoulder and the followed their Clan, not giving their camp a second glance.

Otterpool, carrying some herbs, smiled at Raypaw through the bundle of willow-strips, twitching her ears to her.
Raypaw halfheartedly twitched her ears back and kept her focus on the snowy road ahead.

Barkfur was alongside Leafheart - she'd trained alongside him so it made sense now, them leaving their home side by side as they'd done everything else.
She sighed heavily, sneaking one final look at what was once thought by all of her Clan as home - ice and rock and snow - but no more.
She looked away, her face cold with grief.

Cold looked at Joy from the corner of his eye for a moment but said nothing.
Mosspaw, though, mewed, "Mouse-brainedly easy, I'd say... I was sure it'd take more time to convince a Clan to pack and leave..."

Joy looked towards where Jazz was and decided to do something she had contemplated this whole journey at the moment of seeing the Cityclan cats.
She trotted to join him.
"Your... Jazz aren't you?" She mewed in an undertone, "I wanted to ask you something..."

Jazz looked away from Jace to the silvery she-cat. "Sure, go ahead."

"I... I was taken from the City when I was a kit," She mewed guardedly, "I wondered If you knew my mother?"
Sinewpaw looked up in surprise, taken?

by **Meany** Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:59 pm

Jazz ears pricked up.
"Ah, you're one of the traded, I see..." He looked her over, noting her fur color and pattern. "I - maybe. Kit-mothers come and go in the main parts of Cityclan. Not all of them stay with the Clan, see..." He was thinking hard. "How old are you?"

Blackfire slid through the crowd, trying to catch up to Stormstar. "Ugh..."

The cats were walking through almost a gorge-like place, tall rocks on either sides of them. Spottedfern, not accustomed to taking what was best known as the 'escape route', would probably never have come this way if not for her brother's presence.

Cold's ears flicked back towards the conversation. This concerned him, too.

Mosspaw looked at Sinewpaw, a question in her eyes. "What do they mean, 'traded'," she whispered to him.

OOC: Doesn't have a clue how old my own cat is!
IC:
Joy thought for a moment, "I'm not old," Obviously, she thought coolly, "three winters... I think."
She looked at her paws, "I was the oldest of this... traded thing. I can remember my mom was a silver tabby like me. I had one sister, a honey coloured she-cat..."

(Suki is a silver tabby like her (I hope) although I did check (I need to RP her as well) XD hehe)

Sinewpaw shrugged, "Something Abbysclanners do in their time."

by **Meany** Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:09 pm

OOC: Yeah, the Stolen are at least a year and a half old... Maybe Joy's more like two?

IC: Jazz thought about this, long and hard. "Three... hmm - well, there's plenty of gray she-cats in our Clan - they come and go. But I can only think of one silver she-cat - she's what we call a Council member, though I don't know if she's had any kits."

by Loki Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:13 pm

"Oh..." Mewed Joy awkwardly, "Whats she like?"

Sinewpaw listened with half heart-ed interest.

by **Meany** Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:59 pm

Jazz, still walking, thought about it. "I don't know her personally, but I know she's respected by the Chancellor," his tone became far away. "She speaks in a way that no other cat in the City speaks - like a song, but without music. She's smart and proud - but not too proud to admit a mistake..." Jazz shrugged. "That's all I know."

by Loki Mon Jan 02, 2012 1:09 am

"Oh..." Joy mewed, "Sorry... I'v always wondered."

Sinewpaw, who was listening in; steadied on again, Chancellor? Songs? Weird? definable possibility.

by **Meany** Mon Jan 02, 2012 1:17 am

Jazz nodded. "Yeah, I get that. I never knew my own parents and I often wonder..." He shrugged again, ducking his head.

OOC: Let's take it to the topic in Barren Lands, since by now and by this path we'll have left Moonclan territory.

IC: Sassypelt was mostly by herself at the moment regardless of the cats that surrounded her. She wasn't in the mood to speak to anyone. No, she had many things on her mind...
It's still so hard to believe that I, Sassypelt, came across the Clans - the Clans - by mere chance! But perhaps it isn't chance - fate then? The will of our goddess? Yes... it must be... The she-cat knew the laws of the religious group she was from - yes, she had lied to the Questers; she was not truly a loner, but a member of an ancient cult that worshipped the Dark Forest.
But the origins and point of these cats will come later - much later and for now, it does not matter. Well... maybe it does, in a small way...
Sassypelt smiled slightly. Oh, yes - I'll please my goddess, do her will. All the ancients rites and rituals, thought to be long past their expiration dates, suddenly matter.
The thought was simply thrilling.
The lilac she-cat continued padding alongside the cats of the Clans, all of her thoughts focused on them for a reason unknown to any of them...

Meanwhile, a fair amount of fox-lengths behind them, the Burnsky and Brush that Hangs Over Stream, both of the Tribe of Burning Streams, were following the group.
