Ƭнє Lιgнтнσυѕє Sєαѕση 3 (A Sρσσf.) (New Episode: 10/26/24)

That's good.

I'm doing well. Just sent you a holiday gift, I hope you like it.

So, anything interesting happen to you this week?

That's sad. Back to no free time again? >.<

Ouch. That rough. D:

Hello. How are you?

:mellow:

It's just because you're on a phone. It turns up fine on a computer.

Hello! Looking forward to break?

Sounds like you've got plans. XD Nice to hear that you finally can get some work done, school never takes that into account.

I apologize if the episode is terrible btw...

It probably is...
Maybe, I just can't get back into the swing of things...

I'll try and see what I can do about getting the colors and formats fixed for you.

Here you are. All the colors and links should be fixed. You just have to copy this code now.


Hello, everyone! I am Katanaheart, and welcome to Season Three of The Lighthouse! I don’t really have a lot to talk in this Introduction, which is awesome for you, since you’re here for the story.

Before I move onto credits, if you just happened to stumble upon this thread, it’s not going to make much sense without reading Season 1 or Season 2. (Also, please avoid the Allegiances for those two seasons as they WILL contain spoilers.)

[div style="text-align:center;"][b]Differences in Seasons[/b][/div]
The number of Guests has dropped significantly, which makes this Season different from its predecessors with a very small cast.

The dark gray color mentions a term that I had plan to mention back at the end of Season 2, which would refer to the creepy Spirit-like cats that appeared late last season.

I have also added an “Extra Information,” section which will cover any ironies I have found. As well as information that was no added into the story, due to whatever reasons. (Aka a section where Blade posts stuff she would normally post randomly throughout the thread.)



[div style="text-align:center;"][b]Allegiances[/b][/div]
(These will change throughout episodes. They will contain spoilers as the season is updated. Most characters go in Order of Appearance.)

[spoiler]As of Episode 3...[/spoiler]



[b]Episode 1 [/b]



*Within a Lighthouse, several cameras zoom in on a dark brown she-cat. The cat appears to be sleeping soundly, her flank rises and falls with each breath. A sudden shriek from elsewhere in the building awakens the tabby, hazel eyes open with hostility She leaps out of the bed and dashes to the door.*



???~Who decided to wake me-what?  :huh:              



*She attempts to open the door, but it seems to be locked. Her rage slowly turns into fear as she turns around to actually see the room. It is a rather ordinary room with the only furniture being a bed, nightstand, and lamp. Everything looks rather worn-out, and the purple wallpaper appears to be peeling in some places…*



???~No, this looks kind of like that room…  :unsure:              



*The golden-striped tabby then shakes her head, defiantly.



???~That place burned to the ground, there’s no-



*She shuts her mouth as she notices something shiny resting on the dark wood of the nightstand… An object she knew she had left there… She picks up the shiny item, which turns out to be a light gray key with an amethyst placed at the top.*



???~Please, StarClan, just let this be the guys tricking me…



*The cat returns to the door and inserts the key into the knob. It clicks, and the tabby slowly opens it. The door reveals the top of the stairwell, and rather dimly lit rooms of what Tangletalon knows to be the living room downstairs… She slowly pads out of the doorway of her room; leaving the key still lodged in the knob.*



???~Tangletalon!



*The tabby releases a shriek, her fur spikes up and claws unsheathe in response. Terrified hazel eyes then slowly relax upon seeing familiar, blue eyes.*



Tangletalon~Amberfluff, uh, you-



*The golden-striped she-cat is cut off immediately by the bright ginger she-cat, who sounds both solemn and terrified as she speaks.*



Amberfluff~I can’t believe we’re back here… This place burned down, yet we’ve been dragged back in…



Tangletalon~Yeah, Wait, did a shriek wake you up?



Amberfluff~Shriek?  :huh:              



Tangletalon~Yeah, someone screamed and I woke up in my room…



Amberfluff~[sub]Weird, I didn’t wake up in my room… I was surrounded by those mattresses and boxes, it took forever to find my key…[/sub] Maybe someone’s hurt, we might be able to find one of the guys, while we look.



Tangletalon~Right, let’s start downstairs first.



*The two she-cats then quickly head downstairs; their fur occasionally rises at the familiar sights… The living room itself is as they remembered it; minus the tv, what seems to be a computer desk near the stairwell, and what looks to be a bloodstain near the stairs.*



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Nice to know this place saw use since we’ve been here…



Amberfluff~Tangletalon!  :eek:              



Tangletalon~Clearly, you haven’t seen me in a while.  :evil:              



Amberfluff~*Shakes her head.*[sub] I prefer Tangletalon like this, it’s distracting from what’s really happening…. The fact that we’re here and doom is upon us…

[/sub]

*Amberfluff glances at the kitchen and dining areas.*



Amberfluff~Nothing has changed there…



Tangletalon~So, nothing in the main rooms then? That just leaves the Lounge and some possible side rooms or whatever The Lighthouse throws out…



*Before Amberfluff can reply a loud shriek splits the air. The ginger she-cat’s eyes widen in shock.*



Amberfluff~ :eek:                Is that what you heard?



Tangletalon~Yeah![sub] Although hearing it louder… It’s possible it could be one of the guys…  :eek:              

[/sub]

???~I’ve been looking for you two, everywhere!  :angry:              



*The she-cats turn around upon hearing a familiar, grouchy voice. They see a speckled gray tom with blue eyes glaring angrily at them, from the top of the staircase.*



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Nice to see you too, Ashfur III.  :rolleyes:              



Amberfluff~We were looking for you, too… Uh, do you know where Quiet-



Ashfur III~If that mouse-brain hasn’t wandered off again, he should be where I left him.



Amberfluff~You left him, somewhere! You know we shouldn’t leave cats-



Ashfur III~Stop arguing and follow me, already…  :rolleyes:              



*Tangletalon rolls her eyes and Amberfluff lets out a sigh, however the two she-cats climb up the stairs to find Ashfur III. The speckled cat then goes back the way he came, Amberfluff begins to speak as they walk.*



Amberfluff~Where did you wake up at, Ashfur III?



*The gray tom lets out an annoyed sigh, but answers Amberfluff’s question.*



Ashfur III~The Lounge, nothing has really changed there… It kind of smells like burned flowers, but that’s about it… Quietsong was already up and around by the time I found him. Where were you two?



Tangletalon~I was in my room, and Amberfluff was in that odd “entrance” with the old mattresses…



Ashfur III~Weird.



Tangletalon&Amberfluff~What?  :trance:              



Ashfur III~Everyone already has their keys…



Tangletalon~Ugh, more stairs!



*The dark brown tabby groans as the three cats make their way up another set of stairs, after leaving the hallway/stairwell of that respective floor.*



Tangletalon~Oh, Ashfur III, did you hear someone shrieking?



Ashfur III~Shrieking? No, I haven’t heard anything…



Amberfluff~I heard it too, a few moments before you called us…



Ashfur III(Sarcastically)~On top of not losing its usual creepy charm and dark walls; we now have random screaming…  :rolleyes:              



*The three cats finally reach the top of the stairs, where they are nearly blinded by the large light from the Lighthouse, which circles about… In a normal situation, this light would be a literal beacon of hope, yet in this setting it seems almost ominous… It is like a unwanted beam, exposing what should be unseen…*



*A light gray tabby stands near the glass of the Lighthouse, shielding it from the pounding rain outside. His white stripes appear brighter each time the light illuminates the outside world. The cat turns around before Amberfluff can speak, the light illuminates the faint blue shade, in his green eyes, his voice is quiet; his words confused…*



???~I saw him die, I think… I saw his eyes disappear as the flames consumed him….



Tangletalon~You mean, Isole, Quietsong?



*The light gray tabby turns away from his spot, and walks to stand by the other cats, he answers upon reaching them.*



Quietsong~Yeah… Yet, I know I did, but for some reason, I feel like he’s still here…



Tangletalon~He could be like how Ripfang was…



Ashfur III~That’s the last thing we need, a-



*Before the speckled gray tom can finish speaking, a sudden shriek cuts him off, the scream is louder than before, and this time it continues. The cats flatten their ears at the loud clamor, and they have to yell to be able to hear one another, through the sound.*



Ashfur III~IS THAT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN HEARING?



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~NO, MOUSE-BRAIN! I’VE BEEN HEARING SOMEONE CHUCKILING!



*The shrieking then stops abruptly, a moment later the glass around them starts to crack in many places…*



All~StarClan!  :eek:              



*Before anyone can move rain and some weird black liquid seeps from the cracks, as the glass continues to break… Rain and wind suddenly appears in The Lighthouse, drenching and chilling the four cats, despite the glass not breaking at the ceiling… The black liquid starts staining the glass; as more of the unknown substance slips out, and onto the floor. All while the screams begin to rise in pitch, almost as if more voices are joining in,*



Amberfluff~THIS DID NOT HAPPEN LAST TIME!



Quietsong~SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!



*Suddenly the large light in The Lighthouse goes out, leaving the cats in the cover of darkness…*



Tangletalon~THE FLOOR IS WET, AND THAT IS NOT RAIN!



Ashfur III~WHAT?



*Before Tangletalon can repeat herself, the screaming stops, and the light flickers on… The floor is covered in blood, and gasps and screams catch in the cats’ throats, as they stare at where Quietsong had been, and the surrounding area. The entire area is red with the black substance seeming to replace the glass at this point. Bodies cover the ground of unknown or unidentifiable cats, the screams has reached an all-time high, as more voices have joined in. Then as abruptly as it started, the four cats are blinded by the large white light and everything is as it was.*



Quietsong~That is not something that has happened…  :eek:              



Amberfluff~That was insane!  :eek:              



Tangletalon~*Merely gasps, but does nod her head.*



Ashfur III~… We need to get out of here, soon. Before THAT becomes frequent…



*The other three nod their head in agreement. All four cats have wide eyes, unsheathed claws, and spiked fur to add to their current fear… Out of all the things to expect from The Lighthouse, whatever THAT was, was not one of them… The four cats then slowly head downstairs, all still in shock of what has just, unfolded.*[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][spoiler]
[p][/p][p][b]Episode 2[/b][/p][p]
*The cats are still visibly shaken from whatever had just occurred upstairs. The tension is high within the room and no cat has spoken since escaping… whatever they had just witnessed.  Quietsong glances around the kitchen as if expecting bodies to appear out of nowhere, Ashfur III is clearly trying to force his fur to lie flat in order to appear calm. The she-cats do not fare any better, Amberfluff’s fur is spiked up and her ears lie flat against her head. Tangletalon opens her mouth to speak but the only thing that comes out is shaky breathing… A few more minutes pass before someone finally breaks the silence.*
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Amberfluff~…That, whatever that was, it was not something we have ever seen before… [/p][p]
[/p][p] 

Quietsong~Yes…
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~It’s like… Oh, hey, you have to fear for your life, but have whatever just happened thrown at you too… *She lets out a fake, nervous, laugh.*[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~We have to focus on getting out of here…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Quietsong~And ignore a possible danger? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~I did not say that! :angry:               I am saying we need to escape. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~Duh! Of course we have to escape!  :angry:              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~Calm down!  >:(               We won’t get anywhere if we start squabbling like kits![/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~What do you think we should do then, Amberfluff?  >:(              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~We should-[/p][p]
[/p][p]

???(Sarcastically)~No, go back to acting like kits; it was very beneficial to your survival… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~Is that-[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~How is that even possible?  :huh:              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

*A familiar skinny, white she-cat appears floating above the kitchen table. A smirk resides on her silver-tinged face and her blue eyes shine with amusement.*[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Guests~Chillfrost![/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I will repeat, “How is that possible?” [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~I won’t bore you with all the technical explanations, Nightshade or someone else will do that later… The point is; I’m a Spirit. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Quietsong~Is Rabbitspring still a-[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~We’re all here, even Quailfeather and Gingerclaw. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~If everyone’s a Spirit, then why aren’t you all here?[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~I’m not allowed to talk to you guys? I found it fitting that the first cat you should talk to, should be the last Guest that died? After all, I should be the one still breathing!  >:(              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~Your death is not our fault! You rushed in like a mouse-brain to fight Isole!  :angry:              [/p][p]
[/p][p] 

Chiillfrost~To get the key and escape this place!  You are to blame for leaving my body to burn! [/p][p]
[/p][p]

*Any amusement Chillfrost had has faded, her eyes have narrowed and her fur flares up as she argues with the living tabby.* [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~We were trying to flee, Chillfrost. If we had had time we would have carried your body back to your room. But we didn’t, so why are you here? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

*The she-cat turns her fierce blue eyes to the gray tom, her fur slowly lies flat yet she still sneers as she speaks.*[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~You’d think the four of you would be smart enough to not get captured again… But I’ll clue you in on something that ended a while ago… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Guests~???????[/p][p]
[/p][p]

*Any trace of anger leaves the she-cat instead she becomes somber as she chooses her next words, as if she is reminiscing on the past or recalling a terrible event…*[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~Sometime after you left, there was another group of cats… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

*The Spirit grows quiet for a moment before continuing.* [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~Let’s just say being dead and only being able to watch is much worse than anything you could ever imagine… …We also learned what those “groups of cats,” were called… They’re called Cycles, the Cycle you missed was the 12th Cycle… The Cycle we were a part of was the 11th. I guess Isole wants to finish the 11th Cycle off…  
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Quietsong~Isole? There’s no way he can be alive, I saw him die!  :eek:              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~He is dead, he’s just a Spirit… He’s different though, he can do things I can’t… Being dead gave him plenty of mobility and he can still kill you… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Great! We’re dead. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~*Sighs.* More reason to get out of here…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~Chillfrost, do you know what will happen if Isole… if he kills us? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~No idea, Just “Something terrible,” apparently… So, stay alive. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Quietsong~What about the things upstairs? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~It won’t hurt you. It’s just an illusion. Heh. You’re lucky you didn’t get to meet an actual cat… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~Actual cat?[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~Yeah, they started showing up some when the Cycle was going on… They’re very creepy looking. They’re Spirits or at least that’s what Nightshade thinks… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~Have they said anything to you?[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~That’s the thing… They don’t notice us, it’s like we’re invisible to them… I don’t even know if they “make” those illusions or if they just happen at random because they’ve happened when there were no Cycles going on… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~They do notice the living which sucks for you guys… They’re nothing to worry about though; they’ll just freak you out… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I hope you’re right… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~Besides, they’re interested in that old “amulet,” we found… They want it for some reason but it’s not exactly here… It is here but it’s not…[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Amberfluff~That doesn’t make any sense. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~:lol: Yeah it does, when you die you’ll find out what I mean! [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~Let’s not and say we did…. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Chillfrost~I’m going to go back to the others and see if Ghostail’s stopped screaming, so I’ll see you guys later. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

*The silver-faced she-cat disappears as abruptly as she had arrived.*
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Amberfluff~She had some useful information at least… Those illusions and… cats won’t harm us…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Quietsong~That doesn’t explain why they do it though, I trust Chillfrost’s word but I doubt those illusions and these cats are really harmless…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~She mentioned nothing about getting out though… Amberfluff, you woke up in that original area, was the door unlocked? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~ :rolleyes:               If it was, do you think I would still be here? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I’m just making sure that we weren’t missing a major detail. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~At least we’re making more progress than our last time here… We’re actually discussing possible ways to escape. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Quietsong~Last time, Redclove and Isole merely disappeared through smoke… Is it possible that there were nearby exits? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I wouldn’t scratch that idea out… Connecting rooms maybe? They did that a lot in the living room, below the stairs…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~It would be nice if we had Nightshade’s map… But it was here when the fire broke out…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~I might be able to re-create it…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~That’ll give us some sense of direction… [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~We’ll need it if we want to get out here. [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I’ll leave Ashfur III with you, Amberfluff.
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
[/p][p]
Quietsong~Hm? [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Tangletalon~I’m going to look around the places we know and see if there’s anything different or anything we’ve missed… If I’m remembering correctly, Ashfur III looked at the map with Wildface last time we were here, so I’m leaving him with you… That and I don’t want that mouse-brain being a thorn in my paw…[/p][p]
[/p][p]

Amberfluff~That makes sense… Okay, we have bits of a plan, that’s better than last time! :D              [/p][p]
[/p][p]

Ashfur III~Hopefully we’ll get out of here before anyone winds up dead…  I really hope we make it out of here…

[spoiler]
[i]New Characters[/i]: Wildface-A black and white tom with blue eyes. He sacrificed himself and was killed by a chandelier in the first Season. He remembers the map well and was a fairly reasonable cat.

[font color="#000000"]Redclove-A ginger she-cat with darker ginger stripes, she has icy blue eyes. An assassin in season 1. She is Isole's right hand after his original right hand was killed in season one. [/font]

[b]Episode 3[/b]

*Beyond the Lighthouse sits a building and within this building is a ginger she-cat, who happens to be rather disgruntled as of late. Her piercing, ice-blue, eyes narrowed as she read over several e-mails on her computer…        The room she inhabited was far from tidy, daggers and papers laid scattered about on her floor and cabinets, there was a large bloodstain on her desk, (some of it which were staining a few keys on her keyboard,) even her prized double edged sword was currently embedded into the remains of a cat merely tail-lengths from her chair. The head of the now disembodied cat lay on the side of her desk like a coffee mug; if she were to turn and look at the head she would’ve seen terrified, light-green eyes and the matted fur of a cream she-cat…*

Redclove~Who does he think he is? :angry:      To have me, ABANDON all the work I have accomplished. It’s like he is treating this like some “Grand Finale,” when I should’ve dumped another twelve in there alongside those “Survivors.” “Get rid of the Workers, Redclove. Burn all the evidence, Redclove. Turn off all the cameras; you will no longer be NEEDED?

Redclove~I was more than pleased to cooperate with his first e-mail, even with all the hell that was going on last time around. The way the cameras went off like crazy as who knows what happened; and him skulking about without mentioning that he was alive… …Since when did he become so secretive? Why does he want everything so exact, how deep does this go?

*The she-cat unsheathed her claws as her rage fluctuated, in a desperate attempt to keep calm. She instead reached out with her right fore-paw and swiped the decapitated head off her desk. The head flew and hit the wall, then slid down to the floor. It probably left a bloodstain, not that the she-cat cared to see.*

Redclove~... :mellow:

Redclove~I think some rebellion is in order for the future… You seem awfully impatient about me carrying out the murders of the Workers. I think I’ll let them live for a while longer, just to irritate you. Then I’ll pay The Lighthouse a little visit.

*Redclove pulls her double-edged sword free from the body near her, blood slides down the blade and drips onto the corpse as it is freed from the flesh of the dead.*

Redclove~After all… I have business to finish with a rapier wielding tabby…

*Meanwhile within The Lighthouse, Amberfluff and Ashfur III stand around the dining room table. Ashfur III looks exasperated while Amberfluff draws out the map.*

Ashfur III~That’s in the wrong place.

Amberfluff~No, it’s not. The Lounge is right here in this alcove.

Ashfur III~That’s not what I mean. I mean it comes from this wall, not that one.

Amberfluff~No it doesn’t.

Ashfur III~Yes, it does.

Amberfluff~Doesn’t.

Ashfur III~Does.

Amberfluff~It does not.

Ashfur III~ You didn’t stare at this thing for several hours before a chandelier killed someone! I know what I’m talking about… :mad:

*The bright ginger she-cat lets out a sigh before turning away from the gray tom.*

Amberfluff~StarClan, I really hope the others are having better luck than we are…

Ashfur III~ *Snorts.* I doubt it.

*Speaking of the other two Guests, they appear to be in the Lounge… The two cats glance around the room before they begin searching. Tangletalon pulls some cushions from a loveseat.*

Quietsong~I don’t remember that being there last time…

Tangletalon~Who knows when it got here? *She throws a cushion to the side as she speaks.*

Tangletalon~I don’t understand why we’re doing this again… Why not just kill us all off, when we’re sleeping?

Quietsong~… You and I both know they don’t exactly work like that… They want to cause us pain first…

Tangletalon~It’s annoying. :rolleyes:      

Quietsong~I imagine dying would be worse than being annoyed…

Quietsong~… Aren’t you afraid to die, Tangletalon?

Tangletalon~We’ve escaped once before. And we have a larger chance this time. We’re actually doing something, not standing around waiting for some stupid Game to provide clues…

Quietsong~That’s true…

Tangletalon~So we’re already doing better than last time. We got here and we’re making some progress… We didn’t do anything till Duskclaw had died last time, and now it’s different… We have the Deceased to help fill in some blanks…

Quietsong~Yeah.

Quietsong~What about everything Chillfrost told us?

Tangletalon~It made some sense… What didn’t make any sense were those “illusions,” and whatever the “cats,” are… And why would they only appear recently?

Quietsong~No idea… Perhaps Isole brought them out? Maybe they’re working with him to keep us on edge?

Tangletalon~Maybe.

*The light gray tabby pauses at the bookcase. He then begins to poke at it with his paws.*

Tangletalon~What are you doing? :uhh:

Quietsong~Nightshade disappeared in here before he returned with that gasoline… I just now remembered it was in this room, maybe I can find it…

Tangletalon~*Rushes over and begins to do the same.*

Quietsong~Hopefully it’s here, and this place hasn’t moved it somewhere else…

*After several minutes of doing this, a clicking sound is heard. Before either Guest can revel in their progress, the floor opens up beneath them, the two cats cry out in surprise as they fall into the unknown.*

*In the Dining Room, a Spirit seems to have joined the two bickering Guests. This Spirit is a black and white tom with blue eyes. Some order seems to have formed through his appearance.*

???~Did you even bother trying to look at it from her angle, Ashfur III?

Ashfur III~(Sarcastically) Yes, I definitely thought of that, Wildface….

Wildface~*Shakes head.* I see some things haven’t changed…

Amberfluff~*Sighs.* Sadly.

Ashfur III~I take offense to that comment. :sleepy:      

Amberfluff~… Where is this?

Wildface~That’s that caverns… The one where we met Isole for the first time, remember?

*The two living cats visibly shudder as they remember their first meeting with the gray tabby.*

Ashfur III~And he’s still alive?

Wildface~Not exactly, He’s a Spirit… But he seems to do things that we can’t… Ripfang is also still here but I’m unsure if he’ll be any actual trouble now.

Amberfluff~Why do you say that?

Wildface~The only actual cat he killed in our Cycle was Irisleaf. He merely caused Rabbitspring’s death, he never made her fall… And in the twelfth Cycle, a she-cat called Daylily had been killed by him in the same way…

*The two Guests glance into the living room, their eyes settle on the beginning of the stairs, remembering the way they had found Irisleaf. How the she-cat had been hung from the banister and the events that shortly followed her death, the two cats shake their heads.*

Ashfur III~We need to focus… Once we get this map done, we’ll have a better idea of this layout…

Amberfluff~Yeah… The others should also be coming back soon… Didn’t they say they had only a few more places to look at?

Ashfur~Sadly, yes… Which means I’ll get to argue with a certain furball; I’m not looking forward to that, by the way…

*Elsewhere Tangletalon and Quietsong shakily get up from their fall. They seem to have to have fallen into the middle of some kind of outstretched hallway…? The stone floor is hard and cold beneath their pads and its dark…*

Quietsong~I can’t see anything…

Tangletalon~That makes two of us… So, what? Do we just scramble around in the dark till we find the way out?

Quietsong~It seems so…

Tangletalon~Great… Stick close to me, I’ll try and lead…

Quietsong~Okay.

*The two cats then move forward a few mouse-lengths. Tangletalon stops as they hear the sound of rushing water from somewhere to their left…*

Tangletalon~I’d rather not go for a swim, I have no idea how deep that is…

Quietsong~Agreed…

*The two cats continue moving forward, their paws becoming colder the more they walk on the stone floor. If not for the darkness, one could see the two cats shuddering in discomfort due to the chilly air. Their eyesight has improved with time.*

Quietsong~Tangletalon, do you feel something kind of soft?

Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Yes, this stone floor is really nice and comfy, moorland…

Quietsong~I don’t mean the floor… Just, feel this. *He moves his paw away from… something.*

*The she-cat turns around and taps at the ground.*

Tangletalon~That is soft, kind of. It feels like a crushed flower.

Quietsong~Why would that be down here?

Tangletalon~Who knows? Maybe it was a herb. It’s useless now, though.

Quietsong~Right. We should keep going.

*The two cats continue their descent into darkness, occasionally, stopping to remark upon the sudden burning stench that lingered shortly after discovering the flower.*  

Tangletalon~My paws are going to fall off…

Quietsong~*Pants.* I know what you mean… When does this thing end?

Tangletalon~Soon, I hope… I’d rather not freeze to death in here…

*Shortly after the two Guests speak, this water-filled corridor ends! And opens into another hallway, this one at least looks like it is part of an actual room. The floor is hardwood, except the darkness still remains…*

Tangletalon~Oh, come on! :mad:

Quietsong~My paws are killing me and we get another hallway…

Tangletalon~Ugh… :mad:

Tangletalon~Quietsong, let’s stay put for now. We still have no idea where we’re at, or even if this is where Nightshade had been when he fell down here… Besides, we need some rest with all that walking…

Quietsong~*Nods in agreement.*

Quietsong~I’ll stand watch, if you want. That way one of us can nap, some.

Tangletalon~I’m so happy you volunteered.

*The she-cat drops to the ground as she says this. Her aching paws finally have a chance to actually rest.*

Quietsong~*Sighs.* The others have it easy…

• Stories of Characters
• Extra Information

The number of Guests has dropped significantly, which makes this Season different from its predecessors with a very small cast.

The dark gray color mentions a term that I had plan to mention back at the end of Season 2, which would refer to the creepy Spirit-like cats that appeared late last season.

I have also added an “Extra Information,” section which will cover any ironies I have found. As well as information that was no added into the story, due to whatever reasons. (Aka a section where Blade posts stuff she would normally post randomly throughout the thread.)




(These will change throughout episodes. They will contain spoilers as the season is updated. Most characters go in Order of Appearance.)

Tangletalon~Dark brown tabby she-cat with golden stripes. Has hazel eyes.

Episode 1



*Within a Lighthouse, several cameras zoom in on a dark brown she-cat. The cat appears to be sleeping soundly, her flank rises and falls with each breath. A sudden shriek from elsewhere in the building awakens the tabby, hazel eyes open with hostility She leaps out of the bed and dashes to the door.*



???~Who decided to wake me-what?



*She attempts to open the door, but it seems to be locked. Her rage slowly turns into fear as she turns around to actually see the room. It is a rather ordinary room with the only furniture being a bed, nightstand, and lamp. Everything looks rather worn-out, and the purple wallpaper appears to be peeling in some places…*



???~No, this looks kind of like that room…



*The golden-striped tabby then shakes her head, defiantly.



???~That place burned to the ground, there’s no-



*She shuts her mouth as she notices something shiny resting on the dark wood of the nightstand… An object she knew she had left there… She picks up the shiny item, which turns out to be a light gray key with an amethyst placed at the top.*



???~Please, StarClan, just let this be the guys tricking me…



*The cat returns to the door and inserts the key into the knob. It clicks, and the tabby slowly opens it. The door reveals the top of the stairwell, and rather dimly lit rooms of what Tangletalon knows to be the living room downstairs… She slowly pads out of the doorway of her room; leaving the key still lodged in the knob.*



???~Tangletalon!



*The tabby releases a shriek, her fur spikes up and claws unsheathe in response. Terrified hazel eyes then slowly relax upon seeing familiar, blue eyes.*



Tangletalon~Amberfluff, uh, you-



*The golden-striped she-cat is cut off immediately by the bright ginger she-cat, who sounds both solemn and terrified as she speaks.*



Amberfluff~I can’t believe we’re back here… This place burned down, yet we’ve been dragged back in…



Tangletalon~Yeah, Wait, did a shriek wake you up?



Amberfluff~Shriek?



Tangletalon~Yeah, someone screamed and I woke up in my room…



Amberfluff~_{Weird, I didn’t wake up in my room… I was surrounded by those mattresses and boxes, it took forever to find my key…} Maybe someone’s hurt, we might be able to find one of the guys, while we look.



Tangletalon~Right, let’s start downstairs first.



*The two she-cats then quickly head downstairs; their fur occasionally rises at the familiar sights… The living room itself is as they remembered it; minus the tv, what seems to be a computer desk near the stairwell, and what looks to be a bloodstain near the stairs.*



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Nice to know this place saw use since we’ve been here…



Amberfluff~Tangletalon!



Tangletalon~Clearly, you haven’t seen me in a while.



Amberfluff~*Shakes her head.* _{I prefer Tangletalon like this, it’s distracting from what’s really happening…. The fact that we’re here and doom is upon us…}



*Amberfluff glances at the kitchen and dining areas.*



Amberfluff~Nothing has changed there…



Tangletalon~So, nothing in the main rooms then? That just leaves the Lounge and some possible side rooms or whatever The Lighthouse throws out…



*Before Amberfluff can reply a loud shriek splits the air. The ginger she-cat’s eyes widen in shock.*



Amberfluff~ Is that what you heard?



Tangletalon~Yeah! _{Although hearing it louder… It’s possible it could be one of the guys…}



???~I’ve been looking for you two, everywhere!



*The she-cats turn around upon hearing a familiar, grouchy voice. They see a speckled gray tom with blue eyes glaring angrily at them, from the top of the staircase.*



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~Nice to see you too, Ashfur III.



Amberfluff~We were looking for you, too… Uh, do you know where Quiet-



Ashfur III~If that mouse-brain hasn’t wandered off again, he should be where I left him.



Amberfluff~You left him, somewhere! You know we shouldn’t leave cats-



Ashfur III~Stop arguing and follow me, already…



*Tangletalon rolls her eyes and Amberfluff lets out a sigh, however the two she-cats climb up the stairs to find Ashfur III. The speckled cat then goes back the way he came, Amberfluff begins to speak as they walk.*



Amberfluff~Where did you wake up at, Ashfur III?



*The gray tom lets out an annoyed sigh, but answers Amberfluff’s question.*



Ashfur III~The Lounge, nothing has really changed there… It kind of smells like burned flowers, but that’s about it… Quietsong was already up and around by the time I found him. Where were you two?



Tangletalon~I was in my room, and Amberfluff was in that odd “entrance” with the old mattresses…



Ashfur III~Weird.



Tangletalon&Amberfluff~What?



Ashfur III~Everyone already has their keys…



Tangletalon~Ugh, more stairs!



*The dark brown tabby groans as the three cats make their way up another set of stairs, after leaving the hallway/stairwell of that respective floor.*



Tangletalon~Oh, Ashfur III, did you hear someone shrieking?



Ashfur III~Shrieking? No, I haven’t heard anything…



Amberfluff~I heard it too, a few moments before you called us…



Ashfur III(Sarcastically)~On top of not losing its usual creepy charm and dark walls; we now have random screaming…



*The three cats finally reach the top of the stairs, where they are nearly blinded by the large light from the Lighthouse, which circles about… In a normal situation, this light would be a literal beacon of hope, yet in this setting it seems almost ominous… It is like a unwanted beam, exposing what should be unseen…*



*A light gray tabby stands near the glass of the Lighthouse, shielding it from the pounding rain outside. His white stripes appear brighter each time the light illuminates the outside world. The cat turns around before Amberfluff can speak, the light illuminates the faint blue shade, in his green eyes, his voice is quiet; his words confused…*



???~I saw him die, I think… I saw his eyes disappear as the flames consumed him….



Tangletalon~You mean, Isole, Quietsong?



*The light gray tabby turns away from his spot, and walks to stand by the other cats, he answers upon reaching them.*



Quietsong~Yeah… Yet, I know I did, but for some reason, I feel like he’s still here…



Tangletalon~He could be like how Ripfang was…



Ashfur III~That’s the last thing we need, a-



*Before the speckled gray tom can finish speaking, a sudden shriek cuts him off, the scream is louder than before, and this time it continues. The cats flatten their ears at the loud clamor, and they have to yell to be able to hear one another, through the sound.*



Ashfur III~IS THAT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN HEARING?



Tangletalon(Sarcastically)~NO, MOUSE-BRAIN! I’VE BEEN HEARING SOMEONE CHUCKILING!



*The shrieking then stops abruptly, a moment later the glass around them starts to crack in many places…*



All~StarClan!



*Before anyone can move rain and some weird black liquid seeps from the cracks, as the glass continues to break… Rain and wind suddenly appears in The Lighthouse, drenching and chilling the four cats, despite the glass not breaking at the ceiling… The black liquid starts staining the glass; as more of the unknown substance slips out, and onto the floor. All while the screams begin to rise in pitch, almost as if more voices are joining in,*



Amberfluff~THIS DID NOT HAPPEN LAST TIME!



Quietsong~SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!



*Suddenly the large light in The Lighthouse goes out, leaving the cats in the cover of darkness…*



Tangletalon~THE FLOOR IS WET, AND THAT IS NOT RAIN!



Ashfur III~WHAT?



*Before Tangletalon can repeat herself, the screaming stops, and the light flickers on… The floor is covered in blood, and gasps and screams catch in the cats’ throats, as they stare at where Quietsong had been, and the surrounding area. The entire area is red with the black substance seeming to replace the glass at this point. Bodies cover the ground of unknown or unidentifiable cats, the screams has reached an all-time high, as more voices have joined in. Then as abruptly as it started, the four cats are blinded by the large white light and everything is as it was.*



Quietsong~That is not something that has happened…



Amberfluff~That was insane!



Tangletalon~*Merely gasps, but does nod her head.*



Ashfur III~… We need to get out of here, soon. Before THAT becomes frequent…



*The other three nod their head in agreement. All four cats have wide eyes, unsheathed claws, and spiked fur to add to their current fear… Out of all the things to expect from The Lighthouse, whatever THAT was, was not one of them… The four cats then slowly head downstairs, all still in shock of what has just, unfolded.*[/p]
