(I just added a new feature to this roleplay! From now on, anyone who is a Pro and up can add cats to the staff of the Home and roleplay them! Right now, the only cats in the staff are Maplestone and Nightstreak. That'll help explain how the Home somehow manages to feed all of the cats and kits there every day. cx There are 69 of them, to be precise. o: Wow!)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Maplestone Maplestone watched Blazekit meet the new tom for a few more moments, and then her gaze drifted over to the entrance of the cavern, just in time to see Nightstreak climbing into the Home with his jaws full of fresh-kill. Grinning, she padded over to him, pleased to see he'd had a successful hunt. "I see you're getting along nicely," she mewed to her helper and her friend. When Nightstreak nodded with agreement, she added, "Thank you for agreeing to help me with these kits. It means a lot to me." She sighed. "I'm... not as young as I used to be, and, although I have this power, I won't be around forever." However much she hated to admit it, it was true. And someone would have to look after the Home when she was gone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nightstreak Nightstreak placed his fresh-kill down at his paws so he could talk to Maplestone. "You still have many moons of life left in you," he mewed. "And, as long as I can help it, you'll be here to watch over these kits for seasons to come." He wasn't about to let his friend think she couldn't watch over the Home any longer. He knew her well enough to know she had her doubts, but as long as he was around, those doubts wouldn't become reality. "They depend on you," he reminded her, nudging her with his shoulder. "Remember that." He picked up his prey, ready to head over to the fresh-kill pile, and Maplestone gave him a nod of thanks. Dipping his head, the young tom padded off to deliver his fresh-kill to the hungry kittens who were waiting.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit Blazekit looked up as he noticed a cat approaching him. The ginger kit's face lit up, and he wondered, Has he come to try to adopt me? "Hi!" he mewed, his tail swishing behind him. "That's me! What's your name?" (It's alright. It happens to me too. XD) "My name is Silverstorm." he purred at the young tom, dipping his head in greeting. "I noticed you were by yourself and thought you might want some company." his pelt began to stand up on his spine again, still nervous about being here. "H-how long have you been here, Blazekit? Why are there so many cats?"

Maplestone360"Hi, Snowkit!" Miststrike chirped. She circled around the small kit, checking over her ruffled fur. "Did I wake you up?" She asked, concerned.

"So," asked Rattlesnake, looking around. He was completely oblivious to Mistkit's thoughts. "What would you like to do now? Not sure I can think up an actual game. Have you learned anything about hunting yet?" He turned back to her, ignoring her expressions. Cats that could look into the future had different things they needed to deal with. . . . . . . . . . . "Fox," answered Dream. "When I was about your age my mother and I were attacked by one. Never knew my dad, but either way, my mother couldn't fight it off all alone. She ran...I got left behind. According to the cat I talked to, it could have been a lot worse than what I got. I don't know how I lived through it. But I did." His voice held the quality it does when someone is telling an old story. One that no longer contained pain, but was important nonetheless.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit "I've been here for two moons," Blazekit replied, smiling up at Silverstorm. "And there are so many cats because this is a kit adoption home. But, this home is different than the others because all of the kits are talented!" 'Talented' was the word that Maplestone liked to use, but Blazekit didn't know if Silverstorm would understand that, so he added, "That means we all have powers." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Snowkit Snowkit yawned. "Yes, you did, but it's okay." She was still a little tired, but she would manage. "I was just about to wake up anyway." She glanced at where the sky was visible through the entrance of the cavern, and she saw that it was a little while past dawn. "You're here early," Snowkit observed. "How far away is your Clan?" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mistkit Mistkit noticed that Rattlesnake had changed the subject rather quickly. Was it on purpose? She would never know. "A bit," she answered his last question. "The cat who adopted my brother taught me some things before... before she left." Mistkit sighed and blinked away the memory. The past was the past. Funny for her to say, being able to sense and possibly—possibly—change so much of time and all, but it was true. Her little brother was gone and he wasn't coming back. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mottlekit Mottlekit's eyes drifted down to the ground yet again. "I never knew my dad either," he mewed without knowing what he was saying. He clamped his mouth shut. I thought you didn't want to think about your family again, he scolded himself with an internal, irritated sigh and a flick of his tail. At this rate he would be spilling his entire life story to Dream before he even got to know him.

Silverstorm nodded, "So rumors I heard were true. Hm, well if that's the case... what is it you can do?" his curiosity was piqued and he wondered if the kits powers were anything similar to his. Perhaps the fact that they both had powers could be something they had in common.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit "I can control fire," Blazekit replied, giving a downcast shrug that said 'Well, you get what you get.' "Doesn't really do much, since there's hardly ever any fire around here. But I guess that's a good thing. Fire can be dangerous."

Silverstorm perked up, "I'd say that's pretty useful," he meowed trying to cheer up the kit, "If you can control it, you could save a lot of animals from a forest fire if you get good at it I bet." He stared off briefly. "I hav my own power too you know. That's part of why I'm here. To find others like me." he said, smiling down at Blazekit. "It gets lonely being the only one sometimes."

My thoughts are with you I know it might be weird and it's not much but if you wanna talk then I'm here and I'll do the best I can? If not I understand bc I'm just a random stranger on the internet but sometimes its better than nothing right? )

Even though you're someone I have never talked to on here, it still means a lot. And hey, we aren't technically strangers anymore. We've become acquaintances. As for the weird Internet talk thing, I don't find that weird because I've got a lot of virtual friends on here. I will keep that in mind. It is definitely better than nothing. Thank you, *idk what to call you*. (Lol.) )

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit Blazekit nodded in agreement. "I guess you're right," he mewed. "But there's never been a forest fire here. As far as I know." It reassured him that someone thought his power was useful. Most of the other kits in the Home agreed with Blazekit: what was the use of being able to control fire if there was never any around? They thought that, oh, sure, he might use his power someday, but not any time soon. He listened to everything else Silverstorm said, then mewed, "I once thought I was the only one in the world with a power, too. Well, my brother and I." (It's alright that you've been poofy, Summer. We all have things that keep us busy in life, and you especially. I hope everything gets better for you and that the rest of your break will go smoothly. )

Silverstorm tilted his head, "Your brother? I don't see any other kittens around." he meowed, a little confused, "Was he adopted without you?" He sat down on the semi-cool ground and wrapped a tail around his paws. He was afraid he may be asking too many questions too soon, but everything was new and he couldn't shake off a feeling. What exactly he was feeling, he wasn't sure of.

"First I smelled you, though I couldn't see you. Then I saw the bramble, that I thought was a bit too thick and that's were you were hiding. Now it's my turn to hide." Goldspark said cheerfully and started to look for a place to hide. "Oh, and how much time will I have?".
(Sorry for the clumsy post.)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit "Oh, my brother's still at the Home," Blazekit mewed, hoping he hadn't confused Silverstorm. "He's a trainee, though. That's why he isn't here. His name is Flamepaw." Blazekit and Flamepaw hadn't been born in the same litter, so Blazekit was five moons younger than his brother. They both came to the Home at the same time, though, when their mother died and couldn't take care of them anymore. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yewkit Yewkit knew it made sense, but she wouldn't have thought of it herself. Some brambles were just thicker than others, right? She just never saw too many of them, so she didn't know. "Um..." Yewkit started when Goldspark asked her a question. "I can only count to ten." She shuffled her paws sheepishly. "And that's not long." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fishkit "What 'Warrior/Rogue game'?" Fishkit asked. A game he hadn't heard of? How was there such a thing? Well, I probably have heard of it, just not by the name Ambermist knows it as, he reasoned. Because, he really didn't believe that there could be any game he didn't know of. After all, how would he win it if he didn't even know what it was? Sorry for my poof. I really need to stop poofing. Just... Life. x.x ] " It's where one cat plays the Warrior, and the other cat plays a Rogue. The Warrior has territory, and the Rogue trespasses on the territory or something. It varies from cat to cat, generation to generation, but it always ends up in play-fighting." The tabby cat looked down at the kit to see his reaction. " It's ok if you don't want to play it. It's just a suggestion."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fishkit Fishkit nodded in understanding. It seemed simple enough, and he was willing to try it. He'd never backed down from a challenge before, after all. "Alright. Let's play it."(Same. x_x) (This is where we left off.)

"That's okay, then just count slowly." Goldspark gave Yewkit an understanding glance. She is only two moons old afterall."If you want, I can teach you some more numbers later?"

"Ah," Silverstorm nodded. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. "Say, is there a good water source nearby? How would you like to practice some fire control?" he asked Blazekit. "I know you're too young to start training yet, but there's no harm in learning a few things early." he said with a hint of mischief in his voice. "I can generate and control electricity. So if you find me a good dry stick, i can start up a small flame for you. But I'd want some water around just in case you can't put it out by yourself."

"Would you like me to teach you some more?" questioned Rattlesnake, looking around. He finally completely cocked his head at Mistkit. The tom seemed very expressive with his head movements. Perhaps it was something to do with what he was. A shapeshifter who'd been stuck in one shape for a very long time. It must have felt so constricted. "I know a lot about hunting and it might be fun to learn." -- "Sometimes that can be for the best," said Dream. "Depending on the circumstances. I never knew my father because he left my mother and was all around not the best cat to be mates with. My mother wasn't perfect, but she stayed with me until I was almost apprentice age. I assume that was as close as she knew to love." He flicked his tail. He had only said that because of Mottlekit's statement. If the kit wanted to talk, than Dream would listen. But if it was best to move on to the next conversation, the tom would do that as well.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yewkit "Okay," Yewkit mewed. She knew that numbers weren't things that a lot of cats knew much of anyway, as they were more of a Twoleg thing, but Maplestone did tell the cats at the Home a bit about them. She just didn't focus on teaching them as much as other things, like hunting and being able to control your powers. But Yewkit was willing to learn about them more, in case she ever needed them someday. "Um..." she mewed, beginning to count as slow as she could. "1... 2..." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blazekit Blazekit's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes! There's a lake down by the bottom of the mountain! And a forest beside it, where we can find some sticks!" He didn't know how Silverstorm could create fire with electricity and a stick, but he was interested in seeing how. It wasn't every day he got to test out his power. And he was eager to see how it would go. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Snowkit Snowkit tilted her head. "An hour? What's that?" She assumed it was some sort of way of telling time, because of what Miststrike said, but she still didn't know exactly what it was. Maplestone never said anything about hours to the kits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mistkit "Sure," Mistkit replied. "The cat who adopted my brother—Storm—only taught us a bit about catching fish, because my brother could breathe underwater. I don't really know anything else." She shrugged. Storm wasn't exactly focusing on Mistkit when she was busy trying to adopt Ripplekit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mottlekit Mottlekit's eyes widened in surprise. "The same thing happened to me," he admitted. "Except... my mother left me a lot earlier than yours did. My power isn't very easy to hide." He was shocked by how much he and Dream had in common concerning their history. He always thought that he was the only one with a neglectful father. It seemed he was wrong. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Fishkit "I guess I'll be the rogue," Fishkit replied, the corners of his mouth rising slightly in a mischievous grin. He had always been told that rogues had a knack for causing trouble. They sounded like they would be fun to play in a game.

Maplestone360"Could you show me the river you used to fish in?" suggested Rattlesnake. "There are probably other forms of prey around there as well if it is outside the area of the Home." He looked around, wondering if they would have to get permission. It was always different based on where he was. So he wasn't always sure where he wanted to go. -- "Oh, I'm sorry," said Dream. He waved a tail, sighing. "I doubt she left me because of any sort of powers. It was far more likely she didn't want to take on the trouble of training a half blinded apprentice. Things were just that way for her." He returned to look at Mottlekit with his remaining eye. "What is your power, if you don't mind me asking, that is?"
