You're a Twoleg in the Warrior Cats universe, just like you are in ours. However, unlike in our own reality, you can understand cats, and they can understand you. This is made possible by a highly advanced device that you carry around in your pocket. (This is mostly to get around the fact that the cats in the series speak with meows instead of actual words. Think of a Star Trek universal translator.) Write a small fanfic. You live on the outskirts of the 5 Clans. Whether you interact with them or not is up to you. At some point, the bridge is made. You and an established cat from within the series discover that you can understand each other (and from your point of view, the device works!). What kind of conversation do you have? What kind of a ripple effect does this have amongst other cats? Do you think the cats would trust you, a Twoleg, or not?
If you are having trouble coming up with original content (fair enough
), I've prepared a piece down below. Just a series of philosophical questions I suppose.
1. You own a greenhouse filled with all the herbs the Clans could ever need. Upon encountering a Clan cat and after some sort of a dialogue is established, do you become their "god" and provide them with all the remedies they could ever ask for, provided they ask for it? Or do you keep them locked up to prevent the natural balance of power from shifting?
2. Do you destroy the device because you believe that Twolegs and cats shouldn't know how to communicate to one another?
3. Who would you like to have a conversation with, if it was just limited to one cat? What would it be about?
4. The Clan cats ask you why Twolegs invade their land. They ask you what monsters are. They ask you why you wear necklaces. (Is it to keep your head from falling off?
) How do you respond? What do you choose to teach them? Do you try to "censor" anything so as to keep your answers aligned with their current understanding of the world?
5. Speaking of teaching, a Clan cat enters your room. There is a world map on the wall. Do you cover it up before they come inside to prevent the spread of knowledge they rightfully should never have access to, or do you keep it up and see if a conversation develops?
6. Etc.
