(oooh that'll be fun, Di ^^ going to a con myself this weekend can't wait oh btw will not be on friday or saturday most likely because of it good luck on snaring your victims >  and who needs family slots filled??) This time Coldfire did bite down on the stick, the pain taking her by surprise, even with Crowpaws warning. Fox-dung, that one was worse than the others, She thought through gritted teeth, trying to ignore the nasty taste in her mouth from the branch. The queen shuddered, wondering why Crowpaws whiskers had twitched in amusement before hand, but couldn't catch a long enough breath to ask. After a few moments she managed to pant out, "aren't they here yet?" |

(Well at least we're all having the same problem, so we all know it's not just us!)
Leafblaze took one last deep breath, closing her eyes. She counted to five, letting fear overcome her. But when she opened her eyes, she forced that fear to vanish. If you get that TV show reference I will love you. xP Taking a bold step towards Coldfire, she study the queen with wide eyes. She let Crowpaw answer to the she-cat, but reached her paw forward to brush away debris from the shredded branch.

(my larp character. There's me and then two of my friends who will be coming to game hopefully February for the first time are being his older sister and his twin sister he had never met [long story. Speaking of which I still have to ask the STs about the rules on characters who have already died once....]. But in his backstory he also has his mom, older brother, and younger brother who are presumably still alive. When my younger brother, who's 12 now, is old enough he might be my younger brother but I still have open slots for Mom and older brother. Who I really wanna see as characters too because my character did not in any form have a good relationship with either. So me, my "siblings," and the like two other people who actually know about Tobias's family are all like "can we please have Momma Crow become a player character so we can either get a redemption arc or chance to shank her repeatedly"
But anyways, the larp does this whole like demonstration thing at Swampcon and hangs out all day trying to recruit people and that's where I learned about it last year. And also how I got Tobias's only initial backstory tie, his first and only ex-girlfriend who I still occasionally run into at game and it's highly entertaining [she put Tobias in charge of her League of Evil Exes, and according to her cousin we have to fight whoever she gets with next. Which I would totally do and it would be funny as heck]. So anyways maybe if I can chat up some prospective new players they'll either want to be part of Toby's family or just having had known him previously. He did travel around quite a bit prior to coming to Gatorland [the in-game town where our chapter of the larp takes place] so there's a lot of opportunities for that.
Lol sorry for rambling about it though. Tobias is like, my favorite character I've ever created and is my primary suffer puppet. Also I am very very enthusiastic about my absurd apocalypse.)
Crowpaw frowned. "One or two more pushes and the first one should come. The rest will follow soon after, but I don't know how many there will be. At least three I would guess, maybe even four."
(also sorry for short post, can't really put a lot atm XD )

"Is that right, Crowpaw?" She hissed, gritting her teeth in pain. She glanced at Leafblaze for conformation, before deciding that the medicine cat was virtually useless at the moment, nodding.
"This way," Blizzardwing murmured, nudging Tinypaw towards the entrance, not seeing Ravenstar leave his den. He was entirely focused on finding something for his sister to eat. The pale tom lashed his tail slightly, some snow landing on it.

Crowpaw nodded. "Should be. Push." He winced in sympathy at the queen, not at all remorseful that he would never have to go through something like this.
(ugh the forums keeps giving me this error thing, it's been doing it for like 3 days. Why Proboards why do you do this.
As far more convenient as Proboards is that Hoop.la in a lot ways, at least I've never had all of these crazy errors and glitches with my Hoop.la site like I do with Proboards. Jeez.)

Crowpaw sat in silence for a moment longer, but it didn't take very long before the next contraction hit. "Push!" he meowed, glancing over his shoulder at Leafblaze to see if she had any input to offer. He had a general idea of what to do, but if the kits weren't born soon, he worried there could be a problem. he could see Coldfire's strength fading, and if the kitting wasn't over soon he wasn't sure if she and her kits would make it.
(it's doing it practically every post for me, regardless of length.)

(what's your cosplay?)
Crowpaw again felt sympathy for the queen as she made a small, exhausted noise. He couldn't help but feel that he had been lying to her saying it would be over soon- this was taking longer than expected. It still hadn't been that long, he knew logically, but it still felt as though it was dragging on forever- and even more so probably for her.
(when are the kits going to actually be born?)

(nope I was waiting for you XD oops. I can though if you prefer. And that's cool. I watched the first like... episode, maybe two, of that. Didn't really get into it, though I may go back and try again eventually. I don't think I really got to that character, but cool good luck XD )

(Ok! I am back! Hopefully! Gotta love Proboards right now...
Anyway! SWEET! Fieldgrass is waiting for Sweetpaw too!)
Tinypaw easily followed her mentor out of camp. The white and orange she-cat glanced around the frozen land and sighed. At least it had stopped snowing.

(That's good lol. Wish I was as excited about Swampcon. Tbh the convention itself is kind of lame, I just go cuz it's free. And also this year it's almost like getting a second game of DR in one month which is pretty awesome. We can talk about sick pranking angry Natural Ones in the woods)
Crowpaw again told Coldfire to push as another contraction hit, surprised as he saw the first kit. "There's one!" he exclaimed, pleased, as he leaned over to grasp the tiny, slimy kit by the scruff of the neck and laid it in a more convenient part of the nest. "Keep pushing when you feel contractions, while I get this one breathing."
The medicine cat quickly nipped off the sac that encased the kit black kit, then started licking its fur the wrong way. After a moment, it let out a small cry and began to breathe. Crowpaw quickly moved him closer to Coldfire's belly, meowing, "It's a tom. He looks healthy, too."

(Ahh I'm excited cause in going with one of my besties for her b day ^^ and aww he is a lion XD)
Coldfire listened to him, eyes shut, pushing when she thought she should. "I-it is? He's healthy?" She whispered, her voice quiet and strained. "What does he look like?" She asked, eyes still shut, but feeling a squirming body next to her stomach, too scared to look.
"I got to help," Sweetpaw bragged to Fieldgrass, head high, excited. Her ears twitched when she heard another cry, but did her best to ignore it.

Fieldgrass jumped at the cry. He winced lightly before turning to Sweetpaw with a small smile. "Keep up with me." He said as he left the camp entrance. Immediately, the tom took off. He ran fast but not at his max speed. He wanted to make sure that Sweetpaw kept her lungs strong, especially after them both being sick just a bit ago. He bounded over a large branch as they headed to the Vanishing Falls.

"He's black, though it looks like his ears and paws are just a little lighter. Like you, but the exact inverse," Crowpaw meowed. He watched the kit for a moment to make sure he was breathing okay, but there didn't really seem to be any problems. Crowpaw was surprised at the kit's size despite being born so early; he was about the same as a normal kit, or even a slightly large one.
"Oh, there's the second one!" the medicine cat apprentice exclaimed as the second kit was born. Like the first, he quickly grabbed it by the scruff and nipped off the sac, before licking it to get it breathing. This one looked a lot like the first, though it was dark gray instead of black, with black around its ears, tail, and legs, and a few white markings. Like the first kit, it was a tom. He took a moment longer than the other to start breathing, and Crowpaw started to get worried before he drew in a deep breath and let out a surprisingly loud mew. Please, Crowpaw set him next to his brother, looking up just in time for the third kit.
This one was white, Crowpaw noticed as he licked its fur, and a she-cat. She looked almost just like her mother, except her fur was quite short and thin. He was a bit dismayed at her size- quite a bit smaller than her brothers- but other than that she didn't seem to have an problems and began to breathe just fine. Crowpaw sat up, hopeful that that would be the end of it, but Coldfire still seemed to be in pain. Resting a paw on her belly, he frowned.
"One more, I think," he told her. "The other two are healthy though. A tom, and then a she-cat. She looks like you."

(gonna throw in my two kits again)
The two kits walked along the stream for a while, not really sure where they were going. The she-kit walked next to the shore, her pelt brushing her brothers' to keep him from wandering into the cold water. Both were quiet as mice, making very little noise despite their disabilities as they moved along the shore, though the tom occasionally kicked a pebble or twig on accident.
After a little bit, the tom motioned for his sister to stop. She did so, her expression curious and concerned, though her brother of course couldn't see that, though the way she pressed closer to him told him what he needed to know. He nodded, then pointed his nose into the forest, where he could hear the sounds of a large prey animal shuffling through the snow. Scenting the air told them both that it was a squirrel.
The she-cat nodded, dropping into her rudimentary hunting crouch and padding forward, very careful about where she put her paws. The tom circled around so that he was in her line of sight, but far enough not to alert the squirrel, and gave her ques about when to go, when to stop, and where the squirrel was, until the she-kit came around a tree and was able to see it. She took it from there, creeping closer until she was finally able to pounce.
The squirrel was nearly as big as she was, and it let out a surprised squeal as she dug her claws into its pelt. It tried to run, but she weighed it down as her brother bounded forward as well- stumbling as his paws hit a root he couldn't see- and leaped on the squirrel as well. The two held it down together as it scrambled in the snow, lashing out at both kits with its tiny claws and teeth. It caught the tom-kit in the leg and sunk its teeth in deep. He gritted his teeth and let out a pained whimper but otherwise held on as his sister darted forward and sunk her teeth into the back of its neck. The squirrel went limp, and both kits sat back, panting at the exertion but obviously pleased with their work.

Crowpaw laid his paw once again on Coldfire's belly. It felt much smaller now- he was amazed at how quickly that could change. Once again, he meowed "push"- for the last time, as the fourth kit was quickly born. He felt a chill as he saw how tiny it was- almost half the size of its sister, who was already smaller than the other two. He quickly picked it up- very gently, as it looked so fragile even compared to the other newborns- and freed it from its sac. It didn't even move or wiggle, and Crowpaw was afraid it was stillborn. Nevertheless, he began to lick its fur the wrong way, hoping that hope was not lost.
Crowpaw had about given up hope when he felt a tiny, weak breath come from the kit. He kept licking it, hoping its breathing would strengthen, and it was still a few tense heartbeats longer before its breath became regular. Finally he moved it with the others, sitting back with a sigh.
"Another tom," he told Coldfire. "Dark gray again. He's... very small though." His tail-tip twitched nervously as he considered how much to tell the queen; he was concerned the kit wouldn't make it through the night. "Be careful with him," he finally meowed. "Make sure he stays warm, has enough to eat, and doesn't get squished by his littermates. Hopefully that will be enough to keep him safe." To keep him alive.
