That's okay! We all get busy C:
So, I suppose since in my other RP i am going to be the leader, to make this one different, did you want to be the leader? I was thinking it would be cool to be a medicine cat. Y'know. Just really mess up that warrior code xD

[ sweet! now i was thinking that they would obviously know and respect each other, but maybe one day my character and yours stumble across each other on the clan border. Your leader might be injured somehow (perhaps trod on a thorn?) and my cat helps them. This starts the train of emotions?
Also - did you wanna RP a molly or tom? I'm fine with either. ]

Hey, sorry I've been pretty sick today and I've been sleeping it off. I was thinking I would like to take the tom. I like that idea as well! Like maybe they've been acquainted through Gatherings and the like, but this would be the first time they would actually talk. Maybe YC is out collecting herbs and is attacked by a fox or something, and MC drives it off but is injured in the process?

Post by aether on Feb 18, 2020 3:16:42 GMT -5
[ oh yeah! i like that when my character gets attacked and yours comes to save - we'll do that instead of yours getting injured or something. I'll start making my character now and just start making my clan. You can make your cats clan too, but we'll both be able to RP whatever side characters we feel - this just helps keep drama going and it also means it doesn't constantly have to be the same two characters talking about getting caught, but it could mean that we can actually RP others getting suspicious and stuff. Will be fun. If you want me to make the other clan or add some characters let me know. I love building the clans and stuff xD ]

i was thinking about their territories, and thought that at on end of the border could be a waterfall, it has a river that weaves down into a lake. the river will be the border for the cleans territories, and the only way to cross is either a fallen tree, or stepping stones were the river meets the lake. ]

Sundapple ;; reference pic pending Border ;; Sablestar ;; ~Skyblaze~ ;;
[ this is longer than i usually post because i like to set the scene xD ]
The bitter leaf-bare winds rushed over the hills, making the tall grasses ripple in the distance - a dance that Sundapple repeatedly thought was beautiful to watch. It was perhaps the only good thing about leaf-bare, as her responsibility as medicine cat only increased as cats with empty stomachs began succumbing to illness. With kits in the nursery, and more on the way, Sundapple felt a heightened sense of responsibility to protect her clanmates. The cold wind pushed against her fur, piercing through to her skin, and she shivered. Please StarClan... let us live through this leaf-bare without any troubles... it was a big ask, a selfish ask, but like any cat Sundapple only wanted what was best for her clanmates.
She was currently sat atop one of the jagged boulders that littered the moorlands. Boulders and rocky, slanted hills made up the territory they called home. At the top of the territory was a lush, green mountain landscape, and at the base of the moorlands was a cliff, then a large expanse of salty water where the sun fell when it set at the end of the day. The mornings when they woke now made the moorlands an icy wonderland, and as the sun drew over the mountains, the ice melted away - but the chill in the air remained. Sundapple watched as a patrol pad up a gentle slope. She recognised the black pelt of Sparrowflight, the grey of his apprentice Ashpaw, the brown of Harestep, and then the mottle coat of Tawnyfur. Sundapple stood and stretched, letting the mild warmth of the sun energize her muscles before she leaped down and met the patrol.
"Hi, Sundapple!" Ashpaw bounded forward, and meowed his greeting over a mouthful of rabbit which he carried proudly. Sparrowflight looked amused and flicked his tail in greeting.
"How was the hunt?" Sundapple asked with a purr of amusement. She felt comfortable and peaceful around her clanmates. She knew each of them well - she was the medicine cat so everyone was able to trust her, and often they would confide in her. Sparrowflight she knew quite well, as he had been injured in a battle and spent much time in the medicine cat den with an injured shoulder. Over that time he had grown close to Poppyfern and he would often ask Sundapple for advice - although she didn't know all that much about love and romance. It was a possibility she was sad to miss, but her passion for StarClan and healing was great.
Sparrowflight shifted, a nervous looked gleamed in his eyes, "We could smell a fox along the border, but we didn't see it. It was pretty fresh, but we think it must have gone up towards the mountains rather than hang around." Sundapple nodded thoughtfully, noting to herself she would have to be wary.
She farewelled the patrol and continued on her own journey, padding confidently across the moors. Despite the warning Sparrowflight had given her, she was searching for feverfew - which grew by the steam that separated MoorClan and BoulderClan. Her stocks were low, and with leaf-bare here, she wanted to make sure it was something she always had enough of. As she neared the border, the scent of fox touched her nostrils. It must have passed through earlier. The fur on her shoulders stood on edge, just quickly, I'll gather my herbs and leave!
Sundapple knew the best place to find feverfew. She padded up the stream towards the mountains, keeping her green eyes open and her mouth slightly ajar, taking in all the scents around her. It wasn't long before she was by the feverfew, and she bent to started picking the flowers from the stems. The sweet scent of the flowers filled her nose, and the bitter taste coated her mouth. Quickly, her fears were diminished into satisfaction at finding the herb, and her caution was thrown into the breeze that swept past with icy talons.
It was when she stood again and turned heel that she saw the looming shape of a russet coloured beast. She felt her paws freeze in place - as though long tendrils were tangling themselves around her legs and leaving her incapable of moving. The fox growled and crept closer, it's head low and it's tail swishing aggressively. Against a patrol of cats, the fox would be no match, but to Sundapple she was as good as a fearful kit. The feverfew flowers fell from her mouth and blew in the breeze, but she did not care. Instead, she eyed the fox and trembled with terror.

The mountains were always cold during leaf-bare, and this particular instance had been particularly harsh for BoulderClan. The snows that had pelleted the peak had driven the Clan downwards, farther and farther until now, they lived at just the base of the massive outcroppings they called home. Sablestar sighed as he approached the frosted caps of their territory. Much of their best hunting grounds were now covered in snow, and though he knew there were pickings among the sheer ridges, he knew better than to assign patrols to go there. The snow was disarmingly perilous, and a misstep could dislodge seemingly solid ground beneath a cat's paws, sending them hurtling to their doom.
The black and brown tom conferred with his deputy, Larkwhisker, on the morning's patrols, which had already been taken care of. He paused by the fresh-kill pile, which was disconcertingly empty. He couldn't blame the patrols -- this was no weather for good hunting -- yet it appeared that the toll of leaf-bare was greater than ever. Better to hunt than worry. He decided. After pausing to talk to Elmwind and promising Ryepaw that he would take her to battle training as soon as he got back, he finally stepped out into the territory. He began to venture upwards, carefully traversing the snowy terrain until he got to the point where even his large paws were sinking into the cold white slush. He opened his mouth, allowing his scent glands to draw in evidence of prey, but received only the blisteringly cold air instead. Shaking his head in disappointment, he ventured farther upwards, ignoring the feeling of his wet fur clinging to his legs.
Finally, it appeared his persistence paid off, as he practically walked over a small, frostbitten vole. It wasn't much, but prey was prey, and he was grateful for it. As he gave thanks to StarClan for the meal, he looked down the mountain, and became aware of just how high he had come. Much of the territory's expanse now swept below him, and he marveled at the beauty of their home, despite all the challenges it offered. His amber gaze traveled down farther, following the black-dappled white, until it finally melted away into the green that signaled the start of MoorClan territory. He couldn't help but feel a bit envious of their neighboring Clan, and their much more relenting climate, but recognized that the mountains had their own benefits. Predators rarely wandered up as far as the mountains, and the few who did were dissuaded by the myriad of rocky ridges that provided a defensive bulwark for the Clan.
Finally deciding that there was no more prey to be found in the mountains, he began to trek downwards towards the MoorClan border, and warmer climates. He took the vole with him. While he would have normally covered it with some rocks and come back for it, he couldn't risk losing it in the snow, and it was far too valuable to leave it out in the open as a free meal for an equally desperate hawk or worse, a wolverine. Eventually, the snow finally receded, and his paws were on soft grass once more. Sablestar always felt awkward on the grass that peppered the very lowest point of their territory. His paws were hard and callused from moons of traversing the rocky majority of their territory, and the slippery green fronds felt vaguely foreign. His paws were dripping, the melting snow forming a dark puddle on the vegetation, and he shook them off before proceeding. The warm climate rewarded him with the scent of squirrel nearby, and he sank into the crouch, ready to pursue the scent.
Suddenly, a much more vile stench invaded his nostrils, and he started. Rising quickly, he saw a loathsome red-furred shape just beyond the boundary line. Normally, he wouldn't be too awfully worried. MoorClan warriors were competent, and he was sure a fit warrior could handle a lone fox. However, he recognized the white and ginger pelt of Sundapple, the medicine cat. He didn't know why she was alone, especially during a time when predators were so desperate, and while the fox was not his business, he couldn't stand by and let a defenseless medicine cat deal with this on her own. Dropping the vole, he bounded across the boundary line to intercept the beast, positioning himself between Sundapple and the fox. Fluffing out his fur to make his already large frame appear even bigger, he hissed threateningly at the creature. "Go pick on someone your own size, dung-breath." He spat, unsheathing his claws, his neck fur bristling.

Sundapple ;; The Stream ;; Sablestar ;; ~Skyblaze~ ;;
The russet coloured fox was thin with hunger and it's jaws salivated with hunger. It stalked closer to Sundapple, eyeing her with a beady, brown stare. Sundapple gulped heavily and scrambled a few paces backwards, stopping with a gasp as her back foot touched icy water. The only place she could run was up the moor towards the mountains. Her heart wrenched at the thought that the patrol had already passed by the border - there would be no one around to help her. She was on her own. With the realisation, she bristled her pelt and growled to the fox, but it didn't hesitate. "Go away!" She hissed, swatting a paw forward threateningly. The fox whipped it's tail, but then became distracted. Sundapple tilted her head in confusion before a flash of black and brown pelt bounded in front of her. In her fear, she thought that another predator had joined the fight and she squeaked, but then she realised it was another cat, and they were hissing at the fox.
The fox barked and snapped towards the cat. Usually the foxes would avoid fighting more than they could chew, but this one was desperate from hunger. It lunged forward and snapped at the cat who had come to Sundapple's aid.
Sundapple flinched backwards, stepping to the side and sweeping to the back end of the fox. She could see the dark shape of the other cat tussling with red of the fox, and Sundapple threw herself into the fight. The snap of the fox made shivers run down her spine as she imagined it crushing a leg or a spine, but she tried to focus on the fighting moves her mentor had taught her when she was an apprentice. With claws unsheathed, she racked them down the back haunches of the fox, then spun away when it twisted and to swipe at her. As she was out of it's grasp, the fox turned back to the other cat and lunged forward. "No!" Sundapple shrieked, afraid for the other cats health, she scrambled forward and locked her jaws on the foxes tail. Her paws scrabbled at the ground as the fox tried to flick her off, but she was persistent.
Finally, the fox admitted defeat. With a final swipe at her defender, it barked and raced down the moor - it's tail streaming after it. Sundapple panted and stared after it with eyes round with fear. The sound of the other cat brought her back to earth, and she whipped around. Sablestar?! She gaped when she finally recognized the great leader of BoulderClan. What was he doing here?! She could see a few wounds on him and she padded forward to sniff him as though he were one of her own clanmates. "Thank you," she murmured, and added more clearly, "are you hurt? Can I help you?"
