(Sure, Thistle! It's great to see you again! I have Flamewhisker and Lighttail open floating around the Grand Hall.)
- - Dewfern
Dewfern shifted her paws awkwardly as she watched the elder pad away. "Uh, goodbye... Sir," she mewed after him, curling her tail a little tighter around her paws. She turned her head to Duskstorm after his question, then briefly glanced at the hall leading to the Royal Tower. "Oh absolutely. If there was ever a chance of ever getting out of there, it's all gone now." Laughing lightly, she added, "If you knew my dad, you'd never even ask that question."

Morningstorm curled up in a chair to wind down for the evening. At the moment it seemed like she could enjoy herself without worrying about the creeping tension among the castle. She rested her head on her paws as her eyes wandered around the grand hall.She settled on observing her castle mates interacting amongst themselves.
Owl had slipped away from the Grand hall after finishing his meal. Walking down the hall his tail swished back and forth irritably as he was lost in thought. Clearly the apprentice was mulling over a few issues.He gave a sigh as he slinked off in the direction of the Ancestors hall.
Hey I'm finally on to post))

Rowantooth finished his food and looked around at the other cats. He wondered just what the others were thinking about all of it.

(Yeah, the concept was cool at first, but then I realized they were medicine cats without medicine so... I started writing a full-fledged story about it all, but I'm not sure if I should to that or a comic about it. :/)

Morningstorm called out to Rowantooth noticing the tom idly sitting around.Leaping down from the chair she stalked over to where he was sitting.It wasn't like she was doing anything and maybe it'll be better to talk with someone to ease some of her nerves.

Morningstorm settled down next to him,"I hope you don't mind if you lend a ear to hear my complaints".She gave a weary sigh adding on "With everything that has happen recently don't you think Thunderheart could've at least made a attempt to arrange patrols.Along with his absence at meal time it seems a bit too much for him to be acting this way."

"It's not only Thunderheart that I worry about there also the king's health, but maybe this is a sign from the ancestors that the royal family is doomed." Morning storm meowed solemnly her voice tinged with disappointment.

Duskstorm chuckled lowly, a sad look in his eyes as he shuffled his paws closer together. 'He's his own demise.' He softly cooed, before turning his head away from her, feeling bad for his words, but unable to help them. He wasn't a believer in her father. But Dewfern? He knew already she'd be kind and loyal to her people.

The princess was a little surprised by his words. "My father isn't..," she started, then stopped. He was just poisoned because hasn't been ruling really well, but come on. Come on! she thought, a little angrily. "Duskstorm!" she quietly exclaimed. "You know how hard it is to lose family. My father may be stubborn about the way he leads, but that's what helps him make though desicions. My uncle is perfectly nice, but he was handed the job and turned it down, and I..." She shuffled her paws for a moment before continuing. "I don't even know how to rule. I don't know that it's fair that we judge him so much."

'He keeps you locked up in a tower and doesn't allow you outside to see anybody; nor is he training you to know how to rule when he finally passes.' Duskstorm patiently responded, glancing up at him. 'I didn't refute that he wasn't a good cat, Dewfern. Being a good cat does not mean you are a good ruler.' He swept his tail around his body, shuffling his paws again until he was comfortable. 'He's grown weak over time. We cannot have someone weak leading us- because he is not leading.' He tiredly glanced up at Dewfern, a sad, apologetic look on his face. 'Forgive me for my words, Princess. They are not meant with malintent.'

"Duskstorm, I can't do this..," she sighed, slumping her back and tilting her head down. "I can't talk about my dad like that right now. I thought he was going to-" she choked on her words a little, then regained her composure and continued somberly. "I just can't take all this in right now. If my dad really does die, Thunderheart might give the position to me, but what am I going to do? Everyone expects something of us, but if my dad can't figure it out, then..." She trailed off, staring down at her paws.

He gazed at her with a tilted head. 'You can't put it off forever, Dewfern.' He gently prompted. 'But take some time to relax; you've had a bad shock. You should enjoy your time out of the tower whilst it lasts.' He blinked at her slowly, flicking an ear.

When I think about going back to school I want to EAT my own SOCKS

Post by ☾ αятємιѕ ☽ on Jun 27, 2017 20:24:21 GMT -5
((heyo. I think I'm gonna have Thunderheart finally go down to the rats nest and start threatening to open the door. I'll be on for a bit tonight and hopefully during my lunch break tomorrow, assuming my manager doesn't try to have Needy Conversations with me the whole time.))
((If your cat is a royal guard feel free to throw them in here, otherwise I'm going to make up some nameless NPCs to do what Thunderheart says.))
--Thunderheart
Thunderheart looked out the tower window at the setting sun. He felt panic settling in his chest as he realized that he had two choices now: go down to the rat's nest and risk losing everyone's loyalty, or back out of his threat and lose his authority. In his anger over his brother's near death, it never occurred to him that maybe, just maybe, he could come to a peaceful resolution. In his mind, there could only be a drastic ending to this.
Still, he hadn't expected that no one would come forward to him. Thunderheart wasn't sure if he was prepared to go through with his promise.
He took one last look at Stoneheart, who was still unresponsive, and took the sight in to fuel his resolution. After a steadying breath, he left the chamber and descended the tower stairs. He snapped at the royal guards to follow him and began making his way into the grand hall, toward the old rat's nest door that was blocked off by the barricade their ancestors had labored over--a labor he was about to destroy.
He turned to the nearest group of cats. ((anyone can fill their character in here if they want)) "Tell everyone to gather by the rat's nest immediately! Tell them that refusing to meet is a treasonous act punishable by death!" he snarled.
--Sandstripe
Sandstripe watched from the corner of the great hall. She curled her tail tightly around her feet. Her heart heated wildly in her chest as she realized, Holy Ancestors, he's really going to do it. He's really snapped. If she had any sense of honor, she would have turned herself in right there, but her self-preservation only made her more determined to keep her mouth shut.

"It's not only Thunderheart that I worry about there also the king's health, but maybe this is a sign from the ancestors that the royal family is doomed." Morning storm meowed solemnly her voice tinged with disappointment. "Perhaps someone else needs to step up." Rowantooth mewed digging his claws into the table.

"Step up?" Morningstorm tail twitched half heartedly. "And if someone would step up who would it be?" She tentatively asked begin piqued by the idea.

Feeling tense, she took a deep breath and met Duskstorm's gaze again. "Okay. Okay. I know. You're right. I need to start taking this seriously," she mewed shakily, brushing off some of the sadness that had been weighing down her heart for moons and replacing it with a little feeling of responsibility, small, but definitely there. "It's hard to relax when it seems like bad things are attracted to you though, you know?" She laughed lightly before leaning down and taking a bite out of the rabbit.

Morningstorm sat for a few seconds thinking of cats who could fit the role.She hastily flicked her tail"Well when you do have someone in mind don't hesitate to tell me at this point we need a strong cat to lead us in a time of need".

He mumbled, glancing away, momentarily remembering the state his father had come home in, and then the attack on wolfbite as the elder had protected him from that dog. He shivered slightly. The elder had kindly not told anybody that duskstorm had been involved that day, and the cat was very grateful for it. Bad things definitely seemed to follow him. He turned his gaze back to her to watch her eat, before dipping his head to take a bite as well.
