Re: CLOSED The Rain before the hail- part 2

[ticktock]

Whiterose thought that TawnyClan was being very hostile to DewClan. She wanted to say, Aren't you being a bit hostile, I mean we are here to help you. But she held her tongue like a good warrior.

[Ezziestar]

Ezziestar nodded again, she was in her own thoughts but assured herself of the fact that the Dewclanners haven't attacked yet, to her that was a good sign.

((DX Argh! I can't think at the moment.))

Stone felt a strong suspicion against both Dewclan and Darkclan, but he knew it was because he hadn't grown up in Tawnyclan, so he wasn't clear on the stance Tawnyclan had with the other two clans.

((Sorry about this... normally I can do more. I'm just unmotivated at the moment. :/))

[Longstorm]

Gorseclaw's ear flicked as he listened to Hollowstripe. Teaming up with TawnyClan was one thing, but watching and patrolling because of these DewClanners was something else.
I'd most certainly feel better if I had a band of warriors at my side - Sunmist, Sleetcoat, all of them. But it won't be until at least tomorrow - which isn't that far off - til we see any of them.
"Silverpaw and I will check the perimeter," he said quietly to Hollowstripe. Gorseclaw flicked his tail and (though it took Silverpaw an embarrassing moment to understand the gesture) the two took off at a brisk pace.

Silverpaw was disappointed when Gorseclaw said they'd essentially be leaving the party. I wanted to see what's going to happen with the DewClanners...Like another personal mission...
Her disappointment didn't go unnoticed by Gorseclaw. "I doubt we'll miss anything too important," he meowed as they began to round the edges of the large area that was the Bloodstones. "As big as Bloodstones is, it's still rather small."
Silverpaw sighed but meowed in agreement. They walked in silence for a bit.
After a bit of that boringness, Silverpaw looked at Gorseclaw (seeing as he was practically in front of her anyways - God, was she inattentive) and she cleared her throat. "Erm, Gorseclaw," she meowed.
Gorseclaw grunted in response.
"How do you know so much about the different territories?" Gorseclaw paused and looked at Silverpaw.
"How do you mean?"
Silverpaw, having stopped as well, thought for a moment. "Well...Where to hunt, who everyone is...that sort of thing."
"Ah." He resumed walking. Silverpaw immediately followed.

OOC: INCOMPLETE. It's just some charrie development, then they're gonna come back. Don't do too much while I'm gone please. Please. I'm adorable. How can you refuse this face.

[Loki]

OOC: Sorry everybody, my anti-virus: Avast, failed to detect a virus. I have a massive Trojan that has completely take control of my computer. I can only do this on my mum and dad's but never fear! I have enough to buy a really good one now. @Longstorm, in regards to your qustion, remember a while ago I sent you a PM about that exact topic? I think I asked if you could play the kitty to call on Maplejay, I have no intention of having her be leader.
IC:
Maplejay glowered in hot annoyance, the Tawneyclanners were taunting her patience and it had already been tested. She stooped her annoyance and exhaled softly.
"Please believe us, it was Daystar who called upon the Mudbloodclan cats, we were just in the wrong place. Will you punish us for that unfair, inconvenience?"

Solarstorm wasn't sure about that, Dewclan were still dozing off safe in the corner while his clan burned.
Wolffang decided not to be biased at that point but had nothing to say. So much had happened that it had left the young tom confused, he wasn't sure who was to be trusted and who wasn't. Surely, Startclan would reveal something. Why can they not have a better sign then... what was going on with Dawnkit. The tom shook his head dolefully.

Sunshift was seething. How dare they! he thought angrily, come here seeking what? our approval? Our easy forgiveness? I don't care who's fault it was, they slept and ate well while I lost my mother.
He stared away from Maplejay, he had no care to express his answer aloud.

Leopardstorm was silent.

[NKninja]

Ravenswift kept silent, yet he knew that one of the Tawnyclan cats would break in anger at ONE point or another, "Like any other clan, we have to follow our leader. None of us would've wanted to join Mudbloods. Even due to the fact that we had to lie on our bellies while the forest that we shared with all of you was crumbling to dust." He cocked his head towards Maplejay only slightly, he was not used to speaking out loud to so many felines at once. With butterflies scratching out of his hollowed stomach, he stepped back, knowing immediately that his persuasion might've came out as an insult to Tawnyclanners.
His ears only slightly drooped downwards, but he didn't show a leak of emotion in his eyes. "Sorry Maplejay, I might've made it worse," He whispered to the she-cat.

OOC: That'd be awkward.. Maplestar. Eh.... And Ravenswift sitting lonely in a corner.

[Ezziestar]

Ezziestar stared at her paws, visions of flame and choking smoke filled her mind, she murmured under her breath, "We don't know who we can trust anymore."
"Ezziestar?" She heard Stone meow quietly, this snapped her out of her thoughts and feeling of fear. She noticed Stone was looking at her in concern, and it was then that she realized she was acting out of the ordinary.

Stone was watching the Dewclanners when he heard some mumbling from behind him. He spun around and spotted Ezziestar. Her head was low and her eyes were almost wide open and wild with fear. He meowed softly, "Ezziestar?"
Ezziestar blinked and looked at him, "i'm fine." She meowed back quickly, she looked at the Dewclanners, "Just fine." Her response was close to a growl, but wasn't loud enough to be heard.

((I don't know how else to stall until LS returns. :/ I tried my best.))

[Loki]

OOC: Can anyone see the Banner? It appears to have gone?
IC:
Maplejay shook her head in response to Ravenswift. "No, your right," she breathed back before the cats that had seemed hostile before seemed to sober up.

[Ezziestar]

((I can still see the banner. :/))

Ezziestar stared at Ravenswift, before turning to Maplejay and back again. Stone relaxed completely, the Dewclanners were obviously not going to fight, so he didn't need to be as on edge as he was.
He sighed, still in confusion as to whether Dewclan were on Tawnyclan's side or not. He forced that thought to the back of his mind, something else took it's place, Am I accepted into Tawnyclan enough to not be seen as a Loner, but as a Tawnyclan tom?

[Longstorm]

OOC: I noticed it's gone too...And YES! You DID PM me, ugh, I'm stupid.
I'm just gonna follow up on my incomplete here, then they'll be back! No more waiting (sorry about that.)

IC: "Well," Gorseclaw said finally, as they rounded another bend of the red stones. "I've...Lived." He chuckled and shrugged as he walked. "I've lived just over four summers. I'm a senior warrior. I have experience, I've been places, I've asked questions and they were answered. Mostly."
Silverpaw sighed. She had been hoping for a better explanation, maybe a how-to for becoming a better warrior.
Again, Gorseclaw knew she was disappointed. "You really, really, really look like Thornstar when you're dissatisfied." Silverpaw looked up, surprised.
"Really?" The she-cat had only knew the former leader's face from faint nursery memories and his death mask.
Gorseclaw nodded. "Anyways," he flicked his tail towards DewClan territory, "I learned about hunting in DewClan territory from some noisy DewClan apprentices some seasons back. There's ponds and grasses submerged in water - why, no one knows, but that's marshes for you. When I was an apprentice, I was fortunate enough to be taken to the 'Passed. And I've been hunting in DarkClan territory since I was six moons old."
"Soo...Chance, really?"
Gorseclaw looked back and smiled. "Yeah. Just life."
The she-cat got quiet as she thought about chance and circumstance. "And," Gorseclaw broke her train of thought, "I was sort of bossy about things I wanted, too." He smiled and Silverpaw smiled back.
They eventually returned to the group.

OOC: Can you tell I ran out of ideas at the end? BLAH.

[ticktock]

Whiterose just stared at the TawnyClan cat who first came up to them and thought to her self, Maybe I should go and talk to her? So that I know somebody TawnyClan.

Honeyfang saw that a she-cat from DewClan is staring at her for some strange reason. To find out why the she-cat was staring at her, she padded over to the she-cat and asked "Why are you staring at me?"

Whiterose was about to get up when she saw that the she-cat from TawnyClan coming over to her. When the she-cat was finally by her, the she-cat asked " Why are you staring at me?" Whiterose replied "Because I was thinking about coming over to you and by the way my name is Whiterose, what's your name?"

Honeyfang replied "My name is Honeyfang. And I hope that you and DewClan are not here to attack TawnyClan." she added with wary look at Dewclan.

[Loki]

Strikefast settled back to her former area or partial dryness. She looked out to the cats and exhaled softly to herself. "The worlds gone mad... And I think I've gone mad with it too."
She lay down and thought about her past adventures and wondered why on earth the clan's just couldn't live in peace.
It seemed the lowlands had something against that.

Hailkit was quiet, he didn't like how the day had turned. Mother was angry at him... she...she shouted no snapped at him! He glowered at his small stone paws and frowned at the contents that came with the situation.

[NKninja]

Smokekit quickly noticed the contact between Whiterose made with one of the Tawnyclan warriors. Wow it doesn't SEEM that bad..
With not another second thought, Smokekit bounded towards Honeyfang, finally expertly dodging all the mud puddles in his way. The awkwardness only hit him when he dashed in-between the hollow space of cats, that separation between Tawnyclan and Dewclan. He only shrugged and nearly fell face flat in front of Honeyfang.

Skysoar's eyes flashed in concern instantly as Smokekit bounded towards Tawnyclan. "Smokekit! Get ba..." She stopped as her son paused towards Whiterose and another feline she didn't know.
"Hi there! I'm Smokekit!" He squealed, thinking now that these cats don't seem as hostile as he thought. He was only a mouse-length away from the other warrior, and maybe less then a whisker-length including his paw spread out in greeting. "What's your name?"

Ravenswift also shot a surprised glance, but really didn't see the problem with the sudden interaction. Smokekit's quite a memorable one, I must admit. But he might be a bit to friendly towards strangers.



OOC: You think kit interaction with sooth the tenseness between the two clans? That'd be an adorable way to ease into a Dewclan explanation! :3

[Guest]

“Smokekit!”Gentlekit mewled in suprise. She hadn't expected him to be sorash.
Snowkit only smirked at the kit.
He looked bigger than him but certainly more silly. Most kits were.
“Seriously?” Cloverkit mewed indignantly and mosscloud's tail smacke his mouth is response.
“Watch what you say,” she instructed.
Dawnkit felt exhasperated but she ignored him and examined the sorrounding.

[Longstorm]

Silverpaw was shocked at the DewClan kit's boldness. She looked back at her mentor to see that Gorseclaw looked amused. Gorseclaw caught her eyes and he gestured for her to wait.
Silverpaw looked back at the kits and noticed that the TawnyClan warriors weren't showing any signs of hosility, just amusement like anyone would expect. And hurting kits is against the Warrior Code anyways... She had forgotten that part for a moment and had instinctively feared for the kits, but now she remembered and felt a little stupid.
Gorseclaw meowed to Hollowstripe, "There are no other DewClanners, Hollowstripe, nor any scent of Mudbloods even in this weather. This is all of DewClan." He looked at all of the DewClan cats, one by one. He was intrigued. Here was half of DewClan that had split away from their leader because they did not agree with him. Well, Gorseclaw could only feel a sort of odd kinship with these cats, seeing as he'd done the same thing a couple seasons back.
Gorseclaw doubted that they had come to the Bloodstones to fight the other Clans since they were so few and had kits with them. DewClan probably hadn't known TawnyClan was at Bloodstones in the first place.
Silverpaw looked at Gorseclaw again. She wasn't sure what to think about these DewClan cats aside from the fact that they were an enemy Clan and that there was some extra details that made them a greater enemy than in the first place. But at the same time they weren't.
They didn't know we were here, the thought struck her suddenly. Oh. Silverpaw shifted in place. She was able to relax after that thought.
Gorseclaw and Silverpaw stayed where they were and waited for the TawnyClan she-cat's response to the kit.

OOC: Kit-diplomacy. Joy!

[Runfast]

Foxclaw nervously watched Smokekit approach the TawnyClan she-cat. "Maplejay," he mewed concernedly.

Mistjay watched as well but she was optimistic. The scarred medicine cat looked on all of the TawnyClan cats. She could tell there were wounded cats. Mistjay WAS a medicine cat. And she'd had the foresight to bring various herbs with her. Ha, what she wouldn't have given to have a few apprentices to help her carry the herbs from her den!
Regardless, what with their being wounded, the medicine cat strode past her DewClan comrades and stood before TawnyClan with all of her herbs. "Well?" she said around the herbs in an impatient tone. "Where are they?"

[ticktock]

Honeyfang replied to the little kit, "Hello Smokekit, my name is Honeyfang it is nice to meet you." With a purr of amusement
rising in her throat.

Whiterose thought Smokekit was being brave and adorable by coming up to Honeyfang and introducing himself to her. I would like to mentor him. She thought to herself.

Honeyfang thought Smokekit was being very brave for coming up to her. I just made two friends accidentally. And they are from DewClan, she thought to herself, shocked.

[NKninja]

"Honeyfang? Do your teeth ACTUALLY smell like honey?" Smokekit was meant for it to be a joke, but his tone made him think to himself that it must've been a stupid question.. " Umm.. Whiterose? Did you know Honeyfang before? It looks like you two are good friends." He let out a small smile, but his gray tail stooped close to the ground.

Hollowstripe treaded against the Tawnyclan group, raking her way towards Honeyfang and Smokekit. Funny, that tom reminds me of... Me.. As a kit. Her eyes widened with admiration, remembering the Tawnyclan cats that she met on the boarder of her own clan's territory, how they were so kind, so grateful. Now, as she looked back at the cats that had helped her all those moons ago, and now, how hostile their gazes are against her pelt.
The she cat stood a few fox-lengths away from the separate she-cat and tom. "Well look at this!" Her voice was full of joy, strangely peppy as well. "Didn't expect such bonding so quickly."

[Runfast]

Mistjay looked over the stocky striped she-cat and huffed. No wounds, no limping, no obvious scent of sickness.
The medicine cat rolled her eyes and stepped closer to the TawnyClan cats. "I'm going to see to your wounded - come on, don't just stand there,"she was still speaking around her herbs.

Foxclaw looked at the striped she-cat. He wasn't too sure who she was, but she was probably a DarkClan cat if her height was anything to go by. It was obvious she wasn't a TawnyClan cat, anyways. "We don't mean any harm," Foxclaw meowed to Ezziesong (since he didn't know of any status change.) "We want to right our wrongs and fight against the Mudbloods. I admit," he looked at his paws, "if I had to face Daystar in battle I would be hesitant after all he has done for me." He looked up at the DarkClan and TawnyClan cats. "But the Mudbloods are the very definition of evil! They must pay for their crimes! DewClan has paid dearly already..." He thought of Bramblepaw and Jayleaf. Foxclaw's wet ears drooped at the memories. "And Daystar no longer knows what is best for DewClan." He flicked his tail towards Maplejay. "But Maplejay does. I know none of you trust us - and you have every right not to - but please, in the spirit of the Gathering and the bonds that hold the Clans together, give us a chance!" The reddish warrior paused for breath. "A chance to make amends..." He hoped he had spoken well and that he hadn't made DewClan sound weak. Foxclaw glanced at Maplejay, hoping she would say something further. She would probably have something even better to say than he did.
Foxclaw looked at the kit and warriors interacting. They make it seem so simple...

[Guest]

Snowkit's eyes narrowed as he observed the young tom, rudely making fun of a warrior's name. Were all Dewclan kits a duplicate of Cloverkit?
“Smokekit!” Gentlekit stumbled over to Smokekit with a disapproving look on her face.
“Watch your words!”
Dawnkit felt slightly torn seeing the desperate warrior's words tumble out. Sure, All cats were one at the gathering. And it was nice to give them a chance. But her thoughts were clouded as she remembered the damage and the three kits born in a time of uncertainity. It was rightful for the wrong to be corrected.But would she allow it?

[NKninja]

Smokekit tilted his head towards his littermate, "It was only a joke! Relax, Gentlekit." He squeaked, stepping back to stand side by side with his sister. "Honeyfang seems like no badger to me, no raking claws? She's not like our clan stories." He gave out to a concerned look, but a still remaining smile. "Maybe the other kits of this clan can see that too!" He let it out slightly louder then a whisper, being sure that the kits that were meters away could hear the two.

Fiddlerpaw did hear Mistjay loud and clearly, but still had a pang of concern filling his mind. He still didn't believe it. Even with kits? He didn't care. Yet he did remember the soles of his feet being burned and broken down from all the searing coals that he had stepped on during the dreadful battle. Then, he gave a strong glance to his older brother, and noticed the gash that curved upward from his paw to his knee cap (or whatever bone is in the middle of a cat leg. MEH!) And noticed that the normal flesh-like look on it was anywhere close to looking clean and soft. It gave off a grayish look, he'd assume was from the draining ashes, dirt, and murky water from the river they crossed to escape from the mudbloods.
As much as he wanted to help him, he didn't want to gain any attention towards Spidermist. There's enough attention to go around right now.

Sorestare was still lying down on the ground, his flank only slightly lifting every once in a while. When he slept, he truly did look like he was sleeping with the fishes.

[Guest]

“I can definately see that Cloverkit shoudlnever be with you or you two would drive the warriors here crazy for the next moon or so,”Snowkit replied in a grumpy voice. Mosscloud only smiled.
“Oh boy!” Cloverkit dashed over to the two kits eagerly.
“It's always nice to have others to play with!” he mewed in relish.
“Wait up!”Sagekit got up on her feet. Snowkit watched them with distaste
“Mouse-brained fools,”he muttered under his breath.

OOC:bring on the chaos!

[Longstorm]

Gorseclaw watched Hollowstripe and could only follow her. He was her backup, and only naturally, Silverpaw came with him with the same purpose.
Neither of them spoke, but they did their best to not appear hostile.

[Guest]

Grimclaw looked on at TawnyClan. Wow. All of TawnyClan... He felt shame as he thought about the fact that the Clan would probably be much bigger if not for DewClan's alliance with the Mudbloods - but they were here now. Things could only get better!
Grimclaw had meowed words of agreement as Foxclaw pleaded their case, now he was waiting.

[Loki]

OOC: very sorry my friends! I went crosscountry on my horse and ended up riding into a branch :O It was horrible but I have a really cool scratch that goes from my lip, up my cheek and to my hair line! Mainly because I was being stupid and cocky but I'm okay
IC:
Maplejay nodded in agreement. "We're here to help," She mewed, "However, Dewclan has traveled quite far in the mud, we had to detour to avoid contact with them , so we are all going to rest until I have come back."
"Where do you plan on going?" Wolffang mewed, not with suspicion but deep curiosity.
"I'm going to speak to Starclan, If we can't make sense of it then I'm sure they can help. Perhaps... Mistjay would want to come with me?"

Solarstorm glanced at Mistjay who pricked the sensitive question of who's wounded? "Tigerflame is in the deepest pain, he hasn't seen a medicine cat for about a moon since he was attacked by.... well, where did he get off to?"
Leopardstorm glowered, "He's dozed off over there," Se flicked her tail in the direction of a very soggy lump of fur.

[Runfast]

Mistjay rolled her eyes after finally being acknowledged. "Finally," she mumbled. She flicked her tail in acknowledgment towards Maplejay to show that she had heard her.
"Some Clan TawnyClan is," she grumbled. She raised her herb-stuffy voice. "Allowing kittens to stand in the rain for so long, cold and wet. I'll be out of herbs before the day is out treating kitten-cough." She wasn't just referring to DewClan's kits; she was looking at TawnyClan's kits, too. The scarred medicine cat's attention was drawn to the soggy lump of a warrior. Her eyes narrowed. Without waiting for an invitation, the medicine cat pushed past cats and padded towards Tigerflame. "He'll have kitten-cough too," she sighed.
