post i. -- Introduction post ii. -- Prompts
Ready for the Clash? Hello everyone! Actor here, making an attempt at Tuesday's Beach Bash Fic Clash! The idea behind the contest is that there's a prompt for each day of the month of July, judged by the usual rubric of Tuesday's contests. If I understood correctly, the more fics you do as far as prompts go, the more points you get! I wanted to try my hand at it, because I honestly need to get back into writing, and this is a good way to exercise my brain. So here's hoping for the best, and good luck to everyone else involved!
This layout, by the way, was created by scar, who makes wonderful premade layouts! You should probably check them out if you need something like this!

Starfish (Sjøstjerne) "My friend told me that we have to be extra-careful with the starfish!""Oh, and why is that, little one?" His daughter had certainly gave him a bizarre request, but by the gleam in her green eyes, he didn't dare argue. She meant it when she insisted on this trivial matter. He sensed that she would not back down, and set the peculiar fish gingerly back onto the dark sand before them, then turned towards her to await her answer."He said that starfish can't see or hear, only feel, so they're extra in-tune with the ancestors in the ocean!" So it had been one of those northern cats that had told her the story, and she stood up for the fish, even if it was a better meal than a method to communicate with ancestors that weren't even hers."He told me that the starfish can feel the auras of spirits, and that you can't lie around them!" His kit continued, and her eyes shined with spirit. "They have five whole legs, one for each thing that makes up the world!"- - - - -His eyes had been the first to go. They hadn't been lost with age, but with battle. The cat he had lost them to was alight with the flames of hatred and vengeance, hot enough so that even when he was blinded, he could feel the burn of his venom.
Afterwards, he had to quit fighting. He began to learn the ways of healing, something he could still do with his nose, paws, and ears. More Twolegs came into the area, and their monsters dug into the stone of his seaside cave. The harsh scents clogged his nose, and soon he found that everything was coated in the acrid tang of their black blood, coating the scents of the natural world like a second layer of earth, and burying any scents that had been familiar to him.
Old age finally robbed him of his hearing, but the old cat continued to heal, continued to live. While his ears were filled with what he perceived as the rushing of wind, his paws, whiskers, and mind were as sharp as ever. He sorted leaves that had been brought to him by his daughter, and listened by using his paws.
The rumbles of his loved ones and clanmates could still be felt and deciphered with his paws to their chests and muzzles, and he answered the best he could, feeling his own voice vibrating his old bones, but not able to hear it. The scorn that had once been felt by his old enemies had turned into admiration, for the old cat had become a true, clear voice for their ancestors.
"Sjøstjerne", they called him, "Starfish". It was far from his former name, but it was a name he had grown to accept. For when he made his way down the slope, his paws searched for the truth path to the shore. After he made his way across the cool, wet sand, all the way to the water, he could feel them.
Ancestors that were not his, but perhaps they had become his, now tugged at his paws. They were alive as he felt the cold waves slap his fur, felt the sea foam fizzle out afterwards, and felt the tide rush back inwards once more. Family, friends, and even old enemies, yes, that visited, but never stayed. Cats that had not gone to the stars, but had become part of the sea that sustained the lives of their descendants. He could feel their pelts brush against him in the water, sensed their hopes and dreams, and caught snatches of their secrets from the current under the boisterous waves.
These spirits had no reason to lie to him, for their emotions were tangible. Their love, their sadness, their joy, their confusion. He even felt the fire that had burned him, long ago, always far from the ocean.
But their pain was his, too. Violent spirits felt like claws in his patchy fur. Sad spirits gnawed at his belly like an endless hunger. Restless ones set fire to his paws, as if they itched to run one last time.
Sjøstjerne finally understood why these cats were so gentle with the starfish. x ~ ~ x ~ ~ x Seafoam (Fade) The souls of our dead have always been immortalized in the ocean. Our healers can catch their whispers in the Heart of the World, a cave under the waves, but they can be seen above the surface as well. The dead hiss and snarl at the shore, and their wish to fight alongside the living can be heard in the roar of the tide, their heads rise as the sea foam, and they're bound to the sea until the end of days come, when they can join us in the battle for our lives.
- - - - - I wasn't always a healer. The path of the Skalds didn't appeal to me as a cub. I never wanted to sing the songs of our heroes, I wanted to be the hero that was sung about, immortalized in the memories of my kin and riding the crests of the sea.
But war is a terrible thing, I wasn't strong enough be the hero.
When my sister was cut down before me by our enemy, I ran. She wasn't even supposed to be in battle, a healer, and little more than a cub herself.
After that battle, I dedicated my life to following the path she'd meant to follow. I fought the hatred of war with songs and herbs, and most importantly hope. Hope that was often dashed across the shore, fizzling to nothing like sea foam against the shore. But that wasn't the sole reason I chose my path.
Every night, I would come to the shore, straining to hear my sister's voice in the waves. Surely she'd be fighting to come back to us? This war had been going on long enough to be considered the end of days. Was that the shape of her head in the tips of the waves? Could I hear a snatch of her voice in the hisses and roars of the angry sea?
But maybe she would never be in the waves? She had been docile and gentle, not like the screeching, angry voices I heard during my time at the shore. She wouldn't be content to let her voice fade into a whisper as the shore was clawed by the paws of her and millions of more cats that had left this world before their time. Dreams of hers wouldn't fade into the sand, not meant long for this world.
I stopped going to the shoreline after this thought, and finally, after seasons of searching, I heard her voice below the waves.
The anger and fear I felt for our enemies fizzed out and faded into the sand, just like the sea foam.x ~ ~ x ~ ~ x Sand (End of Days) "You know what's weird, Sigurd?" The two cubs had played on the beach every day, and this question had haunted the she-cub's mind since they had begun. She looked over at her blood-brother, who appeared to be a lot less fascinated by the object of her interest - the sand itself. "What's that, Sigrid?" The tom-cub was far more interested in the ocean than the land they stood on, and he dabbed a wide paw into the shallow tide. His sister continued to shovel sand high into the air, which caused her blood-brother to spit harshly when some of it flew into his mouth. "No matter how much you dig into the sand, it doesn't stop. If you dig in the regular dirt, away from the shore, you eventually hit rocks or ice. That doesn't happen with sand, though. You just dig and there's more sand.""How would I know? Why don't you get one of the sages to answer that? They might tell ya. Raiders don't worry about sand." Determined to look tough in front of their friends, the tom-cub feigned disinterest, although her point had sparked interest in him, too. - - - - -"So why is it, Valdemar?" If anyone would know, the old white tom would know. After all, he was the oldest cat in their crew, still alive and ready to fight even in his advanced age. "The sand just doesn't go away."
"Because that sand shows us how much time we have before the end of days." The old tom creaked, then paused to give his dingy fur a swift lick. "When your ancestors rise from the ocean to claw at the shore, they're taking time from the shore so that they can shorten the length they're separated from us and the final battle."
This was not the answer that Sigrid wanted to hear. "But why do they want the final battle to come that quickly? They're clawing at it all day and night! Don't they want us to stay safe? Don't they care?" The she-cub was never quite as enthusiastic as Sigurd was to risk her life in battle, and the life of the Skald appealed to her more and more as she grew older.
The old tom wheezed as he laughed, amused by her reaction. "Sigrid, it will take hundreds upon hundreds of seasons for the sands of time to all wash away. Long after your lifetime. There's nothing to fear, young'n. That fight is the last war, the last fight we're ever supposed to take part in. It's the ultimate honor, and we'll fight tooth and nail, hundreds of seasons from now, because we want to. The final battle wasn't meant for living cats, which is why our ancestors are so eager to fight it. It's not our fight yet, but when we die and rise from the ocean that last time, there will be nothing to fear."
Sigrid didn't appear to be too convinced. It still sounded terrifying to her, but she nodded anyway. "Thanks for the explanation, Valdemar." She at least had to be grateful to the old cat. He answered her question, after all, and sometimes the truth was something to be afraid of, but not something to hide from.

Thomas Jefferson was actually just two kids in an overcoat standing on each other's shoulders. The current and forever President of the United States is actually Santa Claus. Under the reign of Mr. Claus, America is not a democracy, but a jollyocracy. The statues at Mount Rushmore are actually gigantic presidential-faced robots that will be called into action when America needs them the most. An enormous, evil, time-traveling baby from another dimension is frozen in an Atlantic glacier. Fortunately, glaciers never melt, so we should be fine. Writing jokes for cartoons is more important than sleep. If you recite the pledge of allegiance backwards, you'll gain secret wizard powers! (This one is true, kids! Try it at home!)

Ships (Shipwreck)
"Brandr, what is this thing?" Wood creaked from beneath the group's paws, rickety and weakened from seasons of exposure and salt water. It was bone-white and slippery, almost as if they were inside the skeleton of some huge beast. For all the exploration crew new, they might have been.
"Dunno." The ginger tom that led the group of young cats hardly seemed phased by it. He padded with ease across the slick surface, and he hardly paid heed to the gentle waves that rocked the vessel back and forth. "But isn't it great, though? It's like a hideout, only for the lot of us!"
"Yeah, but is it safe?" Snorted a burly black she-cat, and one of her wide brown paws dabbed at an off-white object that floated nearby. It bobbed harmlessly into an area of deeper water. "I don't want to hang out in a place that might kill me."
"How is that brave, Urska? We're raiders! We fight and we conquer and we take what we want!" Brandr was disheartened by his friend's dismissal of his awesome new hideout. "We're supposed to challenge death!"
"Yeah, but not in a way that wouldn't bring any honor to us!" The queen referred to as Urska seemed less than pleased with the implication that she was a coward. "What honor is there in taking an unguarded sea-cave, only for it to kill us outside of battle?" She processed the hurt look on his face, however, and sighed. "Let's check it out, everyone. Brandr, if you're right, then this place is a gift from the sea." After this admission, the party separated to investigate the structure more thoroughly.
Although the wood glistened with seawater, it appeared to be stable enough in some areas. They also seized several shiny trinkets that caught their eyes, useless but interesting, nevertheless.
Apart from that, the party couldn't really find much of a purpose, at least for now, and left the bones of the huge creature where they lay. With a heavy heart but a determined mind, Brandr didn't let the thought leave his mind as they swam back to shore. He was sure that the monster carcass had a purpose!

x ~ ~ x ~ ~ x Shells (Bonds)
"Wait...what's this?" The silver she-cat had never seen something like this before. Of course, she'd seen shells hundreds of times at the lake territory, but it had seemed rather meaningless to the cats in the clans. A pretty rock, not particularly useful. However, she had been brought to the shoreline by her love, a cat from the north.
The ginger tabby tom looked almost...bashful...for a moment. A shy lump of fur that suddenly reminded the she-cat of a sheepish kit. He had placed a shell at her feet, a beautiful trinket that was white, and dappled with grey streaks. "I forgot. You do not know about sea shells, do you? I should have explained before." He sounded as if he were embarrassed by this whole ordeal, about this huge oversight that he had conveniently looked over.
However, when he looked up again, his eyes were clear and bright, and his voice was strong. "Ashfleck, when a tom in our tribes wishes to become mates with a cat, they find a shell on the shore for the two of them. The cats break the shell in half on the shore, and they each keep a half of the shell for as long as they're united." He explained evenly and rubbed his cheek against hers. "The shells come from the ocean, and are given by our ancestors, and they approve of the union. They approve of us." He clarified, his voice as soft as the waves that lapped quietly at the sand behind them.
Ashfleck was speechless for a moment. Had she dreamed about becoming mates with Brandr, who she'd met in the heat of battle and befriended in the most unusual of ways? Of course she had, and she was thrilled that he did, in fact, feel the same. She just wasn't expecting something as...poetic as the shell from the reserved, straightforward Nordic cats. She especially didn't consider approval from the Nordic ancestors, which was fair when she had witnessed the not-so-approving chill from Brandr's tribe.
"So, Ashfleck. Will you break the shell with me? Please?"
Ashfleck felt warm, from her nose to her tail tip. Something about this seemed so much more permanent than the way that clan cats would ask this same question. But she didn't feel stifled by the proposition. She felt...secure. This wasn't some casual, dated thing. Brandr had been her rock for most of the time she'd known the fiery orange warrior, and there was no hesitation, no fear in her voice as she answered.
"Of course I will, Brandr."
For the first time in a long time, Ashfleck felt at home as she placed her paw over Brandr's, and over the shell, and they broke it in half as one.

x ~ ~ x ~ ~ x Tides (Between Land and Sea)
"How dare you suggest that!"
Three cats stood on the shoreline. Two cats faced off, fur rose, teeth flashed in blatant rage, while the third backed away, scared of the palpable tension in the air. Sheltered between the two combatants was a sad scrap of fur, the remains of a warrior who died in battle.
"Snowstripe was a warrior of AshClan! She will be buried by the elders, and honored by the clan she died for!" A yowl rose from the cat on the right, a brown tabby tom that was actually much smaller than the cat he bickered with.
"Astrid was born into our crew, which has followed Nordic traditions since the dawn of time, and will continue to do so despite the occupation of that band of mongrels you call a clan!" The large queen lashed her tail in anger, and released a warning noise in the back of her throat. "I won't let my cub be hidden in the earth, far from the sea and the cats that came before her!"
It appeared that the only solution for this quarrel was bloodshed. This wasn't surprising, since the formation of the untraditional clan was commonly splashed with the blood of both sides - Nordic and Clan. The tabby tom crouched down to spring, and the blue queen narrowed her emerald eyes, her body tensed to intercept him.
"Stop!"
The pair were interrupted by the cries of the third - a pale she-cat that wasn't much more than a cub herself. Her eyes were huge with fear when she considered that her kin were more than eager to simply rip into one another over the still-warm body of her mother. Her outburst seemed to do the trick, though. Both cats froze in the positions they'd been in, and neither moved a muscle. Despite this, the anger still crackles through the air like a coming storm.
The cub steadied herself, and gave her chest a quick lick to hide her nerves. "Why don't we do both?" She suggested softly. Anything was better than family fighting over the body of one of their own.
"We can bury her on the shore, next to the sea. When the tide rises, she can be in the water, and when it sets, she can be on land. Buried between land and sea." Much like her mother had bridged the line of the two traditions. This would surely ease both superstitions, and she was surprised that neither cat spoke against her. "She would prefer that, instead of you two tearing her body in half over a choice she didn't make anyway." Boldened, the cub cast a stern glare at her mother's mother and her elder blood-brother.
It didn't heal the divide between the two groups, but perhaps one compromise could lead to another.

Pier
Thomas Jefferson was actually just two kids in an overcoat standing on each other's shoulders. The current and forever President of the United States is actually Santa Claus. Under the reign of Mr. Claus, America is not a democracy, but a jollyocracy. The statues at Mount Rushmore are actually gigantic presidential-faced robots that will be called into action when America needs them the most. An enormous, evil, time-traveling baby from another dimension is frozen in an Atlantic glacier. Fortunately, glaciers never melt, so we should be fine. Writing jokes for cartoons is more important than sleep. If you recite the pledge of allegiance backwards, you'll gain secret wizard powers! (This one is true, kids! Try it at home!)

WE HAVE ACHIEVED LIFT OFF!
And by lift off, I mean "I finished the thing, even though the idea sounded cooler in my head"
I gave it my best effort.

I have a vague idea for sea foam, but it'll take some more thought.

what an interesting choice for this prompt! your score for this is an 8.5, and your total comes to 25.5 points. c: 8O Is it really that interesting? I was looking at the symbolism for shells, and one of them was love. And then I kind of went with it.

very well done with this prompt. i'm interested in seeing where this leads. also, i'm assuming this has some norse background to it? anyways, this one gets a 9, bringing your total to 41.5! Yep! This comes from ideas I had for the Rift series a while back, and a few things call back to Norse/Viking roots. Not all things, but some.
