Hunting patrol

[Loki]

OOC: lol I think we all need to do something like this to get to know the groups better, hmm?
IC:
For a while the six were quite, Switchblade and Joyless hung at the back; a little way away from the others.
He had an unusual smile on his face, Joy thought he was up to something. She looked at her paws and then to the cats
ahead of her and wanted to join them. Switchblade wasn't picking up the awkward feeling she was feeling, perhaps he
was just pushing it aside.
"Its hot today," He mewed finally.
"When did you notice that?" Joy mewed in a friendly sarcastic way.
"I don't know," He smiled, "Perhaps when I left the warriors den?"
"Oh... your sense of observation is miraculous!"
"It is isnt it?"
"Your correct it is hot, but a warrior like you? Moaning? Such a surprise ."

Sinface's ears flicked back and he hissed quietly,
"Quiet, you. We're hunting, not sharing tongues!"

Loveless glanced back at the two, an apologetic look in his tired eyes.

OOC: Weeeee, we going on a Quest!... well, not Loveless, but Cold!

IC: Cold glanced around. The dream said to leave now... Did it mean right away? Right now-now? He looked at his mentor and slipped away, pretending to go and stalk something. He slowly stalked away and the patrol kept on.

"Good, Cold," Sinface mewed. He liked seeing Choosings take initiative.

Cold nodded and waited until the patrol was out of sight, then he took off, scenting and searching frantically. The tunnels! Where were the tunnel!?! He'd heard that they were everywhere but he couldn't even begin to guess where to look!

[Loki]

Joyless snorted and Switchblade shook his head.
"Come servant, its time you made good use of your self,"
Switchblade mewed jumping over Joyless and heading into the undergrowth.
Joyless sighed. She turned and went in after him.
"I remember here..." She mewed, "This was the first time I caught that rabbit."
Yes but that was because of me , Switchblade thought coolly. He looked across narrowing his eyes.
"There," He whispered.
There was a pair of pheasants.

Switchblade mewed, "First one to catch the pheasant wins."
Joyless crouched, loving competitions like this.

In a moment they were off. Switchblade had already come close to his pheasant, It jumped up and screeched in alarm but oddly
it couldn't become air born and hopped around vainly, He caught it and looked to Joyless, Her bird reacted fast, it leaped into the air
and for a moment Switchblade thought it was gone, but Joyless jumped!
She propelled two fox lengths up! and caught the birds with outstretched arms and claws, and brought the bird down in a swift turn.
Switchblade nearly dropped his catch, but managed to not drool. (lol)

[Runfast]

Cold kept looking - no tunnels, nothing! What's more, the small streams that ran through the territory were nowhere to be found, and now he was feeling the effects of the hot day.
Cold sat down, his head hurting and his vision blurring slightly. He licked his lips. He'd never been one to call for help, but the time could be near...

[Loki]

Leave now...
Whispers echoed in her ears.
Joyless dropped her pheasant... "Umm, Do you hate it when nature calls?"
Switchblade looked at her dumbly then caught what she was trying to imply.
"Um, at moments like this... yes, be quick."
Joyless turned and shot off.
moon...moon...
She knew where she was supposed to go but...
She went on for a while then... Cold?
She nearly careered into the young tom.

[Longstorm]

OOC: Hehe...

IC: Whispering into the back of Cold's and Joyless's mind,
"This way..." The scent of dried berries was suddenly very strong.

[Loki]

Joy looked down at the little grey choosing and sighed thinking; This is Switchblade's choosing...
She turned and looked around flickering her ears, Well I'll ditch him here, he shouldn't be able to smell or hear these things- unless...
Joy didn't have time to think, she had disappeared.

[Runfast]

His head suddenly clearing, Cold had heard the voice and smelled the scent. That must be it! He didn't say anything, as usual, but followed the scent - and, inadvertently, followed Joyless.

Sinface (who had caught some heat-exhusted mice looked back and mewed,
"Switchblade - should your Choosing be back by now?"

Loveless looked back - where was Joy?

[Loki]

Switchblade came back through the thicket, dragging both the pheasants.
"Well..." He muttered exhausted, as he let go, "He's young and new, he's probably
cursing after an unsuccessful catch. But to be safe... shall we find out?"

[Runfast]

Sinface nodded to Switchblade. He gave his kill to Loveless and mewed,
"Head back to camp."

Loveless nodded, taking the mice, and he headed back towards the camp.

[Loki]

Meanwhile...
Joyless followed the scent and looked around, She backed up and nearly fell into a gaping whole.
The berries scent seemed to be coming from here... This way... She looked down and gulped, she padded in.

Switchblade passed his pheasants onto Dauntless, and looked around, "Which way did he go?" Switchblade mewed to Sinface.

[Runfast]

Dauntless didn't make any respectful gesture, but followed Loveless back.

Sinface mewed,
"That way, if my eyes are keen," he pointed to the east, across the hill.

[Loki]

"Lets go then," Switchblade mewed, and trotted in that general direction.
