Talk to Leapordheart! She seems less likely to claw your ear off. Hopefully.

Now indecision exists within me....
Is it possible you will tell us how the other route will go at the end of this one?

Hmmm.
Until all votes are in, i wont know which route will be canon.
I can say that both of these cats will help Swiftleap grow in unprecedented ways, and neither of them are what they seem.
tbh thats a vague and useless hint haha 😅, but it wouldnt be exciting if there was no mystery

Nightclaw’s appearance gives off one of battle and the Dark Forest. Along with multi-colored eye cats tend to have unique personalities and sometimes bad intentions. (But that might be a part biased view on my part; given a character of mine is multi-colored.) While Leopardheart appears to be the nicer of the two appearance wise, I’m uncertain as to her as well... Also WindClan and RiverClan. I’m more of a fan of WindClan but RiverClan is also nice... Hmmm |

The poll is locked. Swiftleap will be set on a path chosen by you, dear readers.
Swiftleap's fate rests in your hands from here on. No turning back.
The story will continue soon!!!

Words so ecstatic yet chilling! This looks fun to do but alas, I lack time and art skills. |

Words so ecstatic yet chilling!  This looks fun to do but alas, I lack time and art skills. yeah, it's definitely not easy ahaha. back on the old forums i had done a couple of these but ended up not finishing them because of how time consuming ONE update could be. (also my interest in the warriors series fluctuated WILDLY back then)
for instance that big update took an entire day without rest and sucked up so much of my free time it was crazy.
but i think its fun. and it is a good way to improve upon art skills just because of how it demands you to draw so frequently and the same thing repeatedly, and trying to convey an action/scene with only one panel can be tough.
and hey man, it never hurts to try! if you ever did something in a similar vein to this i'd be all over it in a HEARTBEAT.

It sounds like general writing work! And that already takes more than a day to do that! (Plus my attention span can be very bad if I’m not focused.) Also my art skills are lack luster and I hate drawing scenery with a passion. And thank you! This also reminds me of old poll adventures on the old forums, I would so do those again, ya’know if they were a thing still. |

That seems like a good decision. She seems a lot friendlier than that Windclan cat. Plus, it might be useful to befriend a powerful warrior Riverclan warrior. Never know how that could come in handy some day!
>ᴀᴘᴘʀᴏᴀᴄʜ
You stumble forward and almost immediately begin having doubts. Oh god, what are you doing? Who do you think you are? Some interesting, sociable cat? You're just going to make a fool out of yourself!!
She already noticed you, though!! Social conventions demand that you see this through despite how awkward it is!
You unsteadily approach and try to say "Leopardheart, right?" and "Good evening!" at the same time but all that comes out is a garbled mess that sounds like "Goodarrhearrr...."
>ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ɴᴏᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ᴀ ᴡᴏʀsᴇ ғɪʀsᴛ ɪᴍᴘʀᴇssɪᴏɴ
YOU THINK YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!??!? YOU CAN'T TURN BACK NOW!! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS THROUGH!!
You apologize and very quickly introduce yourself as Swiftleap and you ask if you can maybe perhaps sit next to her but it's fine if she would rather be alone you don't want to intrude upon her personal space and be weird or anything.
alsoyoureallyquicklyaddthatyou'refromThunderClan
> ==>
"I could tell by the scent and lack of social grace," she says.
> ==>
HAHAHAH THAT'S A GOOD ZINGER HUH?!? HAHAHAHHA
you want to die.
"Anyways, knock yourself out."
> ᴋɴᴏᴄᴋ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ ᴏᴜᴛ
If only you could do that literally. Instead, you just sit beside her.
Hm. You can't really think of anything interesting to say. See, this is why you're no good at talking with cats from other clans. Cats from your OWN clan don't even like you, how do you expect to convince cats from OTHER clans to like you!?
Um, let's see, Riverclan borders Windclan, so maybe you could do some trash-talking? What's up with those Windclan guys, amirite? Like, what do they even EAT. Rabbits or whatever? What chumps hahahhaha!
No that's stupid and lame. Plus she might like Windclan more than Thunderclan. AUGH.
Think of something interesting to say!!!

Ask how RiverClan has been faring.
(I thought we were in the forest territories? So riverClan would birder ThunderClan.)

I'm using the forest clan names but I have my own little map of the territories in my head just because I don't want to constantly have to go back and check if what I'm doing is in line w/ the canon map. This way I have my own canon and no one to answer to lmao.

(Ah, okay! So ThunderClan borders WindClan and ShadowClan then and not RiverClan, so somewhat similar to the lake territories?) |

just wanted to say that this is really cute and I love it. also headcanon swiftleap's eyes are really just pools of swirling darkness
Also, ask Leopardheart an ice-breaker, like how RiverClan is doing in general or something.

Oh! That's a good idea!
So, uh, you quietly ask how life in Riverclan has been. Is the hunting any good?
"The hunting is great," she says mildly. "Riverclan is as strong and healthy as always."
That's good, you say! It looks like greenleaf has been really kind to both Thunderclan and Riverclan.
Leopardheart doesn't seem quite as thrilled as you. "Right. Then Thunderclan is doing well too, I assume?"
You tell her that, as far as you know, there haven't been any problems as late. Things are going well.
> ==>
"Figures," she says. "I don't see what the point of these things are when things are so stagnant like they have been recently. It's a waste of time."
> ==>
You fall silent for a bit. You don't know what to say to that. Isn't it good that the clans are at peace and content? No news is good news, right?
> ==>
You weakly agree with her.
After another brief silence, you apologize and tell Leopardheart that you're not good at talking with other cats. This is why you don't like coming to gatherings.
"That's alright," she meows,
> ==>
"The truth is, I'm no good at gatherings either."
> ==>
... you feel a bit better about this interaction.
> ==>
"So, you wanna get outta here with me?"
.. hm? You ask her what she means.
"I mean what I said: do you want to get out of here? Come on, I always skip out on gatherings when I know they're gonna be boring."
But... you tell her that Shadowclan will arrive at any minute now...
"Which means nobody will notice. Come on, I bet you half my tail that nothing interesting will happen at all while we're gone."
> ==>
Um. You don't know if playing hooky when it comes to gatherings is allowed. But you also reaaally wanna be friends with this cool she-cat!
Well? Do you want to get outta here with her?

Stay at the gathering. It’s kind of pointless to not be at the one time the Clans decide to not fight after all.

Hmmm I'd say sneak off, but he has been so ambivalent and insecure, I'm not sure he'd do it. But under female wiles? he might. . .feel something he never felt before .

Post by lazy penguin on Sept 14, 2018 14:51:05 GMT -5
I say sneak off. It's low-risk because Leopard's not from ThunderClan so they can actively avoid her if something awkward or embarrassing happens. Plus there won't be as big an audience surrounding them if they sneaks away.

hahaha i'm loving these replies so far
But I think i should pop in and mention that Swiftleap is canonically non-binary/agender. readers can use whatever pronouns they see fit for Swiftleap but in canon Swiftleap will be referred to with they/them pronouns!
swiftleap is definitely not immune to feminine wiles though lmfao
