Warren of the Hills a rabbit rp
Allegiances Warren allies: Farm rabbits Warren enemies: Foxes, badgers, coyotes, raccoons, birds of prey, snakes, crows, dogs, cats, wolves, bears Warren neutral: Wildlings, deer, rodents, small birds
Major Landmarks —The Warren: A complex network of tunnels and dens that make up the rabbits' home. The warren is dug underneath a set of rolling, wildgrass covered hills, dotted with bushes and the occasional rocky outcrop. —The River: A fast-moving creek on the edge of the warren's territory. Possible to cross at times, but very dangerous. Rabbits have drowned trying to cross before. —Wildflower Field: A field of various types of wildflowers that covers the area on the other side of the river. Abundant with good food in the early spring. —The Farm: A settlement of two-leggeds a few miles from the warren. —Corn Field: Borders the farm. Food is abundant there in the fall, but so are predators. —The Forest: Deep woods that border the warren's territory. Very dangerous - full of predators.
Ranks Lead Doe - This is the warren's most powerful member. Controls who uses which den for their litters, and makes any large decisions for the warren.
Lead Buck - The lead doe's second in command. Handles most minor day-to-day situations, including scuffles, arguments over grazing rights, and smaller concerns over the warren's welfare. Needs the lead doe's approval to make significant decisions.
(what do I name this category idk) - The most common rank. These rabbits take care of foraging, nest making, exploring, scouting, and territory marking, as well as any other tasks that may come up, These are the common folk of the warren, who have not chosen to pursue a specialist rank.
The Guard - A category of fighters. All rabbits may be called upon to fight if needed, but these rabbits are specifically selected to defend the warren from predators, and if need be, other rabbits. An extremely dangerous occupation - most guards don't live past three years old.
Head Guard - Leader of the Guard. Promoted to the position through years of service. Usually large, especially tough rabbits.
Healer - Rabbits knowledgeable about injury and disease. Normally there are anywhere from one to five healers in a single warren, all with their own specialties or combining as needed.
Kits - Rabbits under the age of eight weeks.
Nurse - Rabbits who spend their time looking after the kits. They keep watch over any young rabbits, and regularly assume care of orphaned litters.
Greenlings - Rabbits over the age of eight weeks, but under the age of six months. Upon being dubbed a greenling at the age of eight weeks, rabbits are expected to choose their path and enter into training. They generally do not receive a single mentor, but instead join a group of experienced adults. These rabbits are low on the totem pole and are not allowed to leave the warren without supervision.

"Charlock?"
A young doe with floppy ears padded along the tunnel leading out of her den, bobbing her head and sniffing around as she started her search for the older rabbit. "Charlock, are you here?"
Behind her loped a very small black rabbit with white shoulders, her good ear pricked as she followed her elder. She seemed alert to the point of nervousness, despite the fact that the two rabbits were well inside the safety of the tunnels, and kept standing on her hind legs, peering around as if she expected to see a fox barreling towards them at any moment.

Charlock looked up, ears pricking as he heard his name. He didn’t answer right away, letting them come closer first so he wouldn’t have to yell. He could tell it was Juniper from her voice, and he thought it was Elderberry with her. What they wanted with him, he didn’t know. “I’m here.” He answered finally, an almost reluctant tone to his voice as he shook his ears. So much for alone time. “What is it, Juniper?”

"Pokeroot and Foxglove want us to go gather supplies for the healer's chamber," said Juniper, sitting back on her haunches. "We're supposed to take Elderberry and Thyme with us, to give the greenlings some time outside the warren."

Charlock glanced at Elderberry, then glanced around, looking for Thyme. Who wasn’t there. Must be somewhere else. He looked back at Juniper and nodded once, sighed, and stretched. “Alright then.” He said, sounding less than enthusiastic. “Let’s go.” He headed for the exit, not waiting to see whether they would follow him.

"Um..." said Juniper uncertainly, putting one front foot in front of the other as if she was unsure if she should follow. "Thyme, though..."
"HEY, THYME!"
Juniper jumped a foot in the air as Elderberry turned and hollered down the tunnel, feet braced solidly against the cold earth. "COME IN HERE! TIME TO GO OUTSIDE!"

Thyme, who was directly outside the den and therefore right where the shout naturally went, started and thumped the ground twice in quick succession. They stood up on their hind legs, sniffed the air carefully, and shook their head. Of course, after they’d actually had time to process it, they recognized the shout. “Elderberry.” They muttered, glancing sheepishly around at the other rabbits in case they’d upset anyone with their thumping. A few ears were pricked and heads turned their way, but upon seeing it was a greenling and not a dog, no one looked ready to stampede just yet. They headed down the tunnel, appeared around the corner, and fixed Elderberry with a stern glare. “Have you never heard of subtlety?” They inquired, shaking heir ears in annoyance.
Charlock winced at the shout, ears pinned back. “Elderberry. Please shut up.” He said, very quietly and calmly, as the thumping from outside reached his ears. He turned back to the other two, a look of utmost patience on his older face. “I’m sure Thyme is coming. You told them we were going, right?” Or maybe they hadn’t told Thyme anything yet. Well, the greenling was bound to know now, at any rate. He looked up as Thyme entered, then back at Elderberry. “See?”

"How else was I supposed to get your deaf fur in here?" asked Elderberry, sitting up and puffing her chest out. Despite the scolding from both her peer and her elder, she didn't seem to be managing to look the least bit apologetic about her actions. She flicked an ear at Charlock. "They came because I called them," she said simply.
"Elderberry, please," said Juniper, sitting up on her haunches and flicking her front paws anxiously. "Don't talk like that to rabbits older than you. Or any rabbit, but...especially not that."

Thyme sighed, shaking their ears out as though a fly had landed on them. “Maybe you could have come and found me?” They suggested, though they didn’t actually sound mad. It was impossible to be mad at Elderberry for very long, or at least, for them it was. Elderberry was the kind of rabbit you wanted to glare at and flop over next to at the exact same time. Which shouldn’t have been possible, but there they were. “So what are we doing?” They asked, glancing at Juniper, who seemed the most likely to actually answer them.
Charlock snorted. “Watch it.” He said a little sharply. “Because if you aren’t a little more cautious, you might not be old enough to go outside with us. Have you ever heard of keeping your voice down? It’s this great skill that keeps you alive.”

I LIVE)
"I'm still alive, aren't I?" said Elderberry, finding a new, safer target in Thyme now that she'd been properly scolded for talking back to Charlock. She was still completely ignoring the older rabbit's chiding, though, both ears angled towards the other greenling. "I heard you haven't even been outside the warren yet."

(HI)
Thyme raised their eyebrows, eyes flicking in a way that suggested that yes, they were slightly amused by the discussion. “I’m still alive? That’s what you’re going with?” They asked, straight faced. “Well, in that case, then so am I. In fact, if you want to get technical about it, every rabbit in this warren is still alive. The rabbits who don’t count as alive are usually the ones who put themselves in unnecessary danger, by things like being loud, drawing attention, and yes, even going outside camp. In fact, when you look at the numbers, you’re in the minority of rabbits who were loud and reckless and alive. Congratulations.” They turned, giving Juniper a quick, calculating look. “Did I miss anything?”
