 Ashpaw
- With - [ Heatherpaw ]
- Location - [ Outside Camp ]
- Tag - [ Feathertalon ]
Ashpaw surely expected Heatherpaw to be upset by the interaction with their supposedly wise and great leader; her blazing amber eyes spoke more words than her maw ever would. Yet when they were distanced from the inattentive ginger tom, he didn't expect for the explosive emotions to spill from his denmate. His shock slowly fizzled into understanding and Ashpaw scrambled to catch up to Heatherpaw as she walked straight past him and out of the camp. Ashpaw's anger was fueled by the disrespect that he felt he'd been given by the leader, making himself feel indignant as his own pride and feelings were left trodden on by the leader. Heatherpaw's fury was fueled by the disrespect that Flamestar had shown Windpaw. Glancing out of the corner of his eyes he wondered what had happened in Heatherpaw's dream for her to be so desperate to find him. Is he really in that much danger? Having never seen her so infuriated, Ashpaw was left without the words to console her. Skipping to reach her side, he fell into step at her flank.
For a short while the pair walked together quietly, allowing the cool morning air to ease the fire of anger that had been set alight. "Let's head towards the border again... maybe there's something we missed yesterday." Ashpaw's smooth voice broke the extended silence. They were already near enough the border for the rest of the trek to only take a few more minutes. "If he was taken by twolegs we would have scented them near the border, but all I could smell yesterday was crowfood." Ashpaw recollected, his brows furrowing thoughtfully as he considered. I doubt even Windpaw would be interested in crowfood... right?
The nearer they got to the border, Ashpaw's nose detected the stench of crowfood again. There it is again! Narrowing his eyes seriously, he swiveled his ears atop his skull to listen for any unusual sounds. No warrior would leave prey to become crowfood. "Let's follow that foul stench," he felt reluctant to say so, "a warrior wouldn't leave prey out, and I would have thought the border patrol would bury crowfood when they pass by it."
[ yeah! so the whole crowfood thing relates to the first post i made where windpaw investigates crowfood but its actually a trap made by the rogues to lure unsuspecting cats. so if they follow the scent they can encounter some rogues! should it just be one cat? or two? then if the two apprentices get away they will know that this whole situation just got 10 times more serious so maybe they can enlist elmhearts help since he is super nice? ]

Heatherpaw »
Cats got abducted by twolegs all the time, or at least, that’s what Heatherpaw had been told. Bucktail was rumored to have been taken, and Heatherpaw was sure a few other cats within the Clan had had their own experiences with the twolegs, she knew Windpaw’s current situation was far worse than what Bucktail had gone through. She still had no idea how to explain it, but she had heard him, had clearly heard the desperation that saturated his voice. There was a fear in his voice that the molly had never heard before, and that scared her to the core. What had happened to her friend? Where was he? StarClan willing she had her answers before it was too late. If Flamestar wasn’t going to take this seriously, then Heatherpaw herself was going to step up and figure out this entire fiasco.
Pawsteps still sparking with anger, the gray tabby continued to march forward, ignoring any and all tall blades of grass that whipped at her as she stormed onward. Her entire body remained rigid with anger. Frustration seared at her pelt like a fire, burning her skin and igniting a whole new set of emotions regarding her opinion on the Clan leader. Heatherpaw had always looked up to the ginger and white tomcat. She thought of him as some amazing warrior, a cat that had been graced by StarClan and blessed to be chosen as RindleClan’s leader. He must have accomplished some amazing things in his life, Heatherpaw had thought, but after his response about Windpaw, after his complete dismissal over Heatherpaw’s worries, the molly couldn’t help but take back everything she had once thought about him. Perhaps it was drastic, feeling so intensely annoyed at Flamestar over one interaction and a few exchanged words, but Heatherpaw was quick to make opinions, and Flamestar had offered up enough reason for Heatherpaw to no longer respect him as she once had.
Though even if Flamestar wasn’t going to act, Ashpaw had decided to stick by Heatherpaw’s side in this. For that she was grateful. Focusing in on the tom, the gray tabby managed the smallest of smiles, appreciating that Ashpaw was at least taking this seriously despite his abrasive attitude about it all just the night before.
Crowfood, Heatherpaw thought scornfully as Ashpaw brought up the rotting prey that had been scented yesterday. She followed after him as he headed back toward the stench, and before long, the putrid odor of decaying meat coiled around Heatherpaw like a snake. Her face twisted in disgust. ”I really hope Windpaw wouldn’t have found this interesting,” she mumbled. ”And I hate that we have to investigate this ourselves.” It was interesting though. As Ashpaw had pointed out, no warrior would have left prey to rot, and had a border patrol found the crowfood, surely they would have buried it. It was confusing, and while disgusting, it was the only potential lead to Windpaw they had right now.
[ ooo i really like that, the whole crowfood lure thing! im thinking they could run into two of the rogues? then they'd come off as more intimidating to ash & heather, and it'll be more incentive to make heather even want to ask for help again considering she's a bit put off of that after flame cx ]

Mouse-brain fledglings, a cruel smile slowly curled the lips of a figure hidden deep within the tendrils of the undergrowth. The foolish clan cats think they own the forest so they don't have to have caution, if the figure wasn't at risk of giving away their position they would have laughed. All we've known is caution, scavenging and bowing to these fox-hearts... but that time is over. The time of being a hungry, wayward rogue was over. Green eyes flashed with delight as the sounds of paw-steps and unintelligible voices grew closer. It was because of their great leader, Alice, that they felt hunger pains now.
"I see them," the voice was hardly a breath, so close that it was warm on the figures muzzle.
At the sound, fury and annoyance alike seared through the chest of the hidden figure. Now was not the time to chide their companion, however. Two small cats pushed through the undergrowth, their noses crinkling with disgust at the sent of crowfood. They settled back down quietly, letting out a slow breath as they reasoned that this was the first mission their companion had partaken in, given that they were a new edition to the ever growing pack of rogues under Alice's command.
"Ugh!" Ashpaw recoiled visibly at the sight of a half eaten pigeon in the center of the clearing. Over it's body flies buzzed excitedly, landing momentarily before taking to the skies again, performing the same routine repeatedly. "That's foul!" The tom spat, whipping his tail, "Half eaten, too! What a waste of prey," his eyes narrowed as he stepped forward and looked down upon the soured kill. "It must have been a rogue, no warrior would leave their prey like this," he turned his head to look at Heatherpaw, "could a rogue have taken Windpaw?" He looked uncertain at his own words; why would a rogue abduct a mere apprentice?
The two figures hiding in the undergrowth glanced to each other and nodded silently - it was time for the plan to take effect. Silently, the green-eyed figure traversed the vegetation expertly, their thin body moving like a slinky through the tendrils of the shrubbery. The plan was simple: on opposite sides of the clearing, the two rogues would surprise attack the clan cats, after overpowering them, they would take them back to Alice as hostages. The green eyed rogue grinned cruelly, their heart fluttering at the thought of pleasing their leader.
[ okay i left it kind of open so that if you wanted to rp the second rogue then you can, otherwise i'm happy to do that! but yeah, i agree, they both need to be spooked just enough to ask SOMEONE for help without going all the way back to flamestar xD ]

 ??? --
The time of being a straggly, ragtag group was coming to a close. It was the time for greatness now, the time for when they were finally going to take what should have belonged to them in the first place. A new leader had arose for the rogues some recent moons ago, and she was already proving herself as a capable leader. She was bringing structure to this rogue group, assigning ranks and giving tasks for every cat to keep their paws busy. Prey was being caught, hunger was starting to no longer be a thing at the end of the day. Things were looking up for the group, and it seemed like every day more and more cats were being tossed into their ranks - of course, Alice did not allow just any cat to join. They had to go through trials watched over by the leader herself, and if Alice was not fond of the potential recruit by the end of it, well... Her claws had proven multiple times over that they could sink into feline flesh just as well as they could mouse meat.
Now that they were growing, they needed more territory. A larger group than their own that called themselves a Clan resided nearby, and for the rogues, it was only right that they take the land for themselves. There was bound to be a fight, no cat would want to willingly give up their land, though the rogues had grown stronger, and a fight should prove easy for them to win.
Speaking of those Clan cats...
It wasn't long before two young felines approached. The stench of crow-food had attracted them like starving vultures.
Through silent gestures with their partner, the second figure crouched down and began to stalk forward. The job was simple, take these two Clan cats and bring them back as bargaining chips with the Clan cats. It should be easy, nothing that would prove too difficult for the two rogues.
Unknowingly becoming sandwiched in by two rogues, Heatherpaw followed after Ashpaw, tail lashing as the foul odor of crow-food grew stronger and stronger. "This is disgusting," the molly hissed through clenched teeth, not wanting to so much as open her mouth in fear that the stench would enter her body and begin rotting her as well. The sight of the dead pigeon coming into view had Heatherpaw recoiling back, taking a few steps away from Ashpaw as she shook her head in disgust. "No Clan cat would have done this," she growled, half-echoing Ashpaw's statement that this had to be the job of a rogue. Heatherpaw doubted another predator would leave a half finished carcass as well, or if it had, it would have returned before the bird had dissolved into a writhing pile of maggots.
Ashpaw's question planted a new seed of worry inside Heatherpaw. Her tail twitched in thought, mind wandering. What would rogues want with Windpaw? She wanted to deny the possibility that he had been captured and taken, but his voice had been so desperate in her dreams, so real and so full of fright that the idea could very well be a reality.
Heatherpaw looked beyond the crow-food and out toward the land that belonged to no cat. "If a rogue has, then it's up to us to find him and bring him back home," she stated resolutely. After what she had gone through in her dream last night, Heatherpaw was going to find Windpaw and return him home, even if it was the last thing she ever did.

Perched on paw-tips, the shadowed figure - hunched in the brush - felt excitement begin tingling throughout their stomach. The two cats that entered the clearing appeared to be young. Peering curiously, amber eyes blinked slyly, what it is with these pesky young cats and being attracted to crowfood? Had the cat not been hiding, they might have snorted humorously. Without caution, the two cats - a grey and white tom and a pretty little grey tabby molly - began talking amongst themselves. Their words inspired intrigue. They are looking for their friend? A grin curled onto the figures maw, fangs bared and pupils dilating, we will take you right to him!
Ashpaw, frankly, didn't appear thrilled at the idea of having to tackle whatever challenge laid between them and Windpaw. His pale green eyes drifted up from the fly-buzzing carcass towards the border, following Heatherpaw's gaze. How would we do that? His tail flicked with annoyance as he recalled Flamestar's flippant remarks; nobody else seems to care. For the first time, Ashpaw felt a sense of ambition flicker in his chest and he closed his eyes briefly, maybe I can be leader one day... I'll take care of my Clan. Slowly he lifted his eyelids and gave a small nod, "I guess we can maybe look around here for more clues?" He suggested.
As the words left his throat, there was a rustling sound. The sound came from the direction that Heatherpaw was standing, leaving Ashpaw to assume that his companion had simply mussed some leaves that blanketed the forest floor. In a non-urgent manner, he looked to Heatherpaw, "Why don't you go-"
Before he could finish his sentence, a blurred shape shot out of the undergrowth like a bullet, it leapt from the tendrils and landed squarely atop Heatherpaw's shoulders.
 Foolish, foolish kittens! Pascal relished the sensation as his weight fell onto the smaller grey tabby molly. To be truthful, Pascal's slight frame would be laughable against a greater warrior in battle. He was thin and lanky, however, what he lacked in muscular build he made up for in wits. Unashamedly he knew he had potential to overpower the smaller molly, but he was not confident about his abilities in attacking the tom alone. That is why he and his companion waited so patiently for the right moment to strike the right enemy. As the target below him stumbled under the force of his weight, Pascal bent his head and gripped at her scruff. "We've got you now!" His voice hissed, sounding scratch and rough.
Ashpaw started in a rush to help Heatherpaw, his paws scrambling. "Heatherpaw!"
[ haha i'm glad it made you laugh! Cx i thought it was appropriate :-p

 Heatherpaw --
The sight and smell of the crow-food was revolting, twisting Heatherpaw’s stomach, but what kept her going was the determination flaming inside her. She was determined to get Windpaw back, determined to show Flamestar that his relaxed nature was the wrong approach to this, and she was determined to prove herself to the entire Clan itself. If she faced such a difficult challenge, took on rogues, and got Windpaw back safe and sound, there was no way the Clan wouldn’t see her as fit to be a warrior and a mentor, then perhaps even deputy and then leader one day. Ambition filled her to the brim, and she was ready to face whatever was coming her and Ashpaw’s way.
And then, just like that, as if fate itself was posing a challenge, a rustling in the nearby bushes caught Heatherpaw’s attention.
Her ears swiveled forward, face turning to the direction of the sound as her copper eyes narrowed in concentration. Barely could she make out the words of Ashpaw, his question falling short on her as her attention was drawn to the noise. For all she knew it could just be a lonely mouse that was stupid enough to come this close to two cats, but if there were rogues around here that had Windpaw, then maybe the enemy wasn’t that far away.
Just as she was about to part her jaws and ask Ashpaw if he had noticed the sound, a streak of blurred brown came barreling toward her; before she could react, Heatherpaw was already on the ground, the weight of the other cat having knocked her down off her feet, and with her scruff now in his jaws, Heatherpaw realized it would take a good bit of maneuvering before she would be able to get out of the attacker’s grip. ”Ashpaw!” She called out as she twisted and pulled underneath her attacker.
Just as her companion streaked through the grass and attacked the smaller Clan cat, Europa made her own move. She was bulky, muscular, and intimidating, a force to be reckoned with, so she had went with going after the young tomcat. He would be no challenge for her to subdue.
With a smirk covering her maw, the large molly rushed forward, leaping out at the Clan cat, swiping a paw at his limbs to knock him down. ”We’ll go easy on the both of you if you don’t struggle,” she hissed, reaching down to take his scruff into her jaws, just as Pascal was doing with the tabby molly. This was sure to be an easy job, Europa had no doubts. They’d be back reporting to Alice within the hour.

Ashpaw had barely been about to move a pawstep before he felt his hindlegs being swept from underneath, leaving him crashing into the earth. His chin stung with pain from taking the impact of the fall and he hissed through clench teeth. An ambush?! He scrabbled on the leaf litter in vain as the stranger gripped at his scruff, her paws pressing down and expelling the air from his lungs. Writhing, he caught a glance of Heatherpaw in the same predicament. I have to do something! He closed his eyes tightly and pulled his muscles tight, becoming still in the ginger molly's jaw. Remember what Hickoryburn has taught me; don't get flustered, just think logically! Sucking in a deep breath he was able to steady his frazzled mind. The sheer size of his opponent was threatening to say the least, but Ashpaw's smaller frame gave him the advantage of speed. All he needed to do was get out from her grip.
Upon his exhale, he relaxed his muscles and melted underneath the molly as though he were a piece of prey that had been caught and accepted fate. If she loosens her grip just a moment I'll be able to move. It's like she said, 'we'll go easy if you don't struggle'. Calculating in his mind, he envisioned being able to slip from underneath and get an attack in while she stumbled, however he prayed to StarClan that it would work.
Pascal grunted as Heatherpaw twisted, his small frame being shaken by the dramatic movements. "Give up!" He growled, still gripping at her scruff.
Glancing up, Pascal watched at Europa seemingly had already subdued her target. The white and grey tom beneath her paws was still and feeble, leaving Pascal pulsing with envy. Not only was Europa bigger and stronger than him, but she'd gotten the easy clan cat to battle! Unsheathing his claws, Pascal raked his claws over Heatherpaw's right side, but found himself becoming unbalance as she continued writhing and he no longer stood on all paws.

Europa »
It had been some time since Europa had last been in any sort of scuffle. She wouldn’t call this an actual battle, these two Clan cats were too scrawny and too unprepared for a true battle, but she still longed for the sounds of clashing claws and the hisses of anger. She wanted nothing more than to charge into battle head on, throwing enemies aside and barreling into anybody who tried to stop her. Battle was her true calling, and even if this wasn’t what she craved, it was still something, and something was better than nothing.
Unfortunately for that craving, her opponent seemed to have listened to her statement, deciding that he would much rather make this easy on both Europa and Pascal. She didn’t fault him for that. For a moment she remained where she was, gripping onto the tom’s - his name was Ashpaw if she had heard his companion correctly - scruff still. Feeling him give up underneath her, Europa spared a glance toward Pascal, only to see that he was struggling with his target, the gray molly squirming and hissing in fury underneath him. Annoyance found itself in the form of a growl. ”Stay here,” she hissed sharply at Ashpaw, thinking that she had subdued him enough that he’d stay there in fear and shock. ”Don’t let her get away!” Europa called out to Pascal, frustration clear in her voice as she charged over to give the tomcat a helping paw, but as strong as she was, she made for a slow runner, and before she had even cleared the gap between them the tabby Clan cat had weaseled her way out from underneath Pascal.
”Ashpaw, run!” Heatherpaw called out, rushing toward her companion on swift paws. Europa’s fur bristled, ears pressing back against her head in anger. They couldn’t return to Alice empty pawed. This was an easy task, failure wasn’t an option.
Saying nothing more to Pascal, Europa once again charged forward, pressing herself low to the ground in hopes of gaining a bit more speed. The gray tabby was quick, but she was stumbling ever so slightly, Pascal having made a decent wound on her flank. ”Come on!” She heard Heatherpaw call out as the apprentice headbutted Ashpaw, making it clear that she was desperate to get away.
Europa lunged. Her target this time was Heatherpaw, still sure that Ashpaw had listened to her earlier warning. But misfortune only struck her again; Heatherpaw was too quick, the lithe feline easily evading the rogue, swiftly moving through the grasses back deeper into Clan territory. Europa suppressed a growl, tail lashing. She wasn’t about to chase the other cat into Clan territory. Alice had made it clear that she wasn’t ready to take her rogues into the heart of their land just yet.
Even if she had failed to take one cat, there was still Ashpaw, or so she hoped. Turning on her paws she pressed onward, hoping that her target had at least stayed.

Ashpaw

- Tag - [ Feathertalon ]
Watching Heatherpaw wrestle under the weight of the brown tabby on her shoulders made Ashpaw feel hopeless, this feeling was exacerbated by his feigned defeat with his own opponent. Gritting his teeth so hard he thought his fangs might snap, he could only observe. Don't give up Heatherpaw! He silently willed. It was then, to his own shock, that the huge molly who had him pinned hissed a command, his green eyes widened with shock - though not the shock that she believed. In fact, he was shocked that his tactic of 'giving up' had surpassed his expectations. He lifted his head, craning catch sight of Heatherpaw as the orange molly's large frame blocked his view. A heartbeat later, he heard Heatherpaw's cry, then her hurtling grey pelt whirled forward.
Pascal's yowl of fury and annoyance echoed in the clearing, his claws dug into the earth as he sprang forward. The heat of embarrassment stung his pelt, leaving his gaze spinning. How could she get away from me?! His mournful screech echoed within the confines of his skull, I can't report back to Alice with nothing! Watching as Europa lunged towards Heatherpaw, Pascal turned and gave chase to Ashpaw. But it was too late.
Ashpaw bounded behind Heatherpaw, his fluffed tail catching debris as he ripped through the bushes and undergrowth in his hasty escape. Despite Pascal's effort to lunge forward, he wasn't close to digging his claws into the tom. Thus, the clearing of four became two; the failure hanging heavy in the air. Pascal growled, quietly at first, until it bubbled into an outburst, "How could you let him go, Europa?!" He shredded at leaves on the ground, "Alice isn't going to like this!"
It felt like they'd been running for moons before Ashpaw finally slowed to a stop, panting for breath. His lungs burned from the lack of oxygen and he needed a few moments before he dared to speak. In that time, he noticed the scratch of Heatherpaw's side, and a surge of guilt became rekindled in his chest. While I had laid like a piece of prey... she had fought for her freedom. He turned his head away and busied himself by peering back through the forest to check for any rogues. Eventually, his breathing calmed. "A-are you okay?" He breathed, still not looking at her.

Heatherpaw »
Heatherpaw ran as fast as she could. This was one of the few times where she was grateful that she had been born with a smaller frame that allowed her to go faster; usually she griped about wanting to be stronger, bigger, but for once she was appreciative of her slender frame that was more lithe and sinewy than it was muscular. She didn’t stop running until she was almost completely out of breath, her chest constricting against her rib cage until she could no longer push herself any further. Heatherpaw had no choice but to stop, her hindquarters falling to the ground while her head hung downward, eyes on the ground as she attempted to catch her breath.
It wasn’t until Ashpaw spoke that Heatherpaw realized the heat of pain stinging her side. She winced, drawing in a breath of air. ”I’m fine.” Heatherpaw had never been one to admit to defeat, whether it was actual failure or getting injured.
After a few more moments of regaining her breath, Heatherpaw slowly got back up to her paws, turning to look at Ashpaw. Quickly she looked him over, making a swift assessment of his physical state. He was ruffled from the fight and flight, but the gray molly couldn’t see anything hinting to a wound. Knowing Ashpaw was fine, Heatherpaw instantly shifted from razzled to passionate. ”They took Windpaw! They have him, Ashpaw,” she hissed as the fur along her spine bristled, tail lashing. ”Rogues stole him, and we need to get him back.”
Hardly ever did she lose a catch. Europa lashed her tail, claws unsheathing and pushing deep into the dirt as she gritted her teeth in anger. Every muscle in her body was screaming for her to run, but as she watched the two figures of the Clan cats grow smaller and smaller upon the horizon, she knew it would only be a waste of energy going after them. She had lost her prey, and she was not happy about it in the slightest.
The ginger molly turned sharply on Pascal, fangs bared. ”You were the one who allowed yours to get away first,” she growled. Had Pascal actually been able to subdue his target then none of this would have happened. They would have succeeded rather than failed.
While she was angry, she at least was able to calm herself somewhat, smoothing back down her fur and swallowing back any growls she could have thrown at Pascal. She was annoyed with him, but he was part of her group, and while she could show annoyance, it didn’t mean her loyalty to the others in her group faltered. ”We at least still have Windpaw. Alice can’t be too upset so long as we still have leverage over those Clan cats in the end,” she told Pascal while motioning with her tail for him to follow. ”We’ll report back and tell her everything that happened. We still have the upper paw.” With that she pushed through the tall grass in the direction of their current camp, confident that Alice would allow them to keep their pelts for now.

There was little comfort in Heatherpaw's breathless reply, though Ashpaw didn't pry further about her injury. A small breeze rustled through the undergrowth, weaving through the long hairs of his coat and giving him momentary relief from the heat he felt as a result of the running. It was a simple comfort, one that ended quickly. His ears pivoted as he heard her move and he turned his head to look at the fellow apprentice as she rose to her paws. We'd better figure out the next plan of action, he silently mused, narrowing his eyes as he considered various options in his mind. The thoughts were disturbed by Heatherpaw's passionate outburst and Ashpaw jumped as she hissed.
"If they did steal him than this issue is much greater than just saving Windpaw," he sighed heavily and flicked his tail with frustration. "What do they want? Why would they steal him? And then try to steal us? It doesn't make sense." The feeling of being perplexed only succeeded in irritating Ashpaw; he hated not understanding and the belittling sensation that it brought.
There were simply too many questions left unanswered, but there was one thing Ashpaw knew for sure: the two of them didn't stand a chance against the rogues. Their narrow escape from the clearing only confirmed that. "If we want to get Windpaw back I don't think we can do it alone," he meowed, much to his chagrin. He hated the idea of turning back to Flamestar for assistance, I'm sure he'd tell us we just daydreamed almost being taken by rogues! He thought bitterly.
[ i plan on replying with pascal too, but just wanted to ask what we should do with them? did we want to rp them going back to the rogue camp and doing some rogue-related stuff? ] |

Heatherpaw »
There was no logic in where Heatherpaw was coming from. There was only emotion from her. Heatherpaw had never been one to listen to her head, rather, she followed her heart instead, and this was one of those times where that attribute of her shined brightly. She wasn’t thinking about the bigger picture here. In her mind all she knew was that they had Windpaw, and that was that. There was no bigger scheme going on, no other plans that these rogues had. They had her friend, and she was going to fight every single rogue she came across tooth and nail to get him back.
Half of her wanted to swing back around and hiss at Ashpaw for having such thoughts, but her tongue was held in place, jaw tightening as she took in his words and actually, for once, put some consideration into it all. While they had gotten away from the two rogues, they had seemed adamant on capturing both her and Ashpaw. Why? She wondered. And why had they stolen Windpaw in the first place? Ashpaw’s questions were echoing her own. Heatherpaw’s tail lashed back and forth. She was quiet for a long moment, the only noise being the whistling wind as it danced through the grass and nearby trees. Perhaps a storm was on the horizon, gathering in the distance.
It wasn’t until Ashpaw mentioned them not being able to do this alone that Heatherpaw found her voice once more. Her jaw went slack, allowing her words to flow freely as she glared at him. ”We can’t go back to Flamestar!” She exclaimed. There was no way she was going to come groveling back to their so-called Clan leader. He would only shoot the two down again, insisting that they had only dreamed of the rogue attack despite their ruffled state and Heatherpaw’s fresh wound. Her claws dug into the ground. ”Who would we even go to, huh?” She questioned her denmate sharply, eyes burning into him. ”What warrior would go against Flamestar for the sake of two apprentices?” She spat out the last word venomously, her anger and frustration with this whole situation transparent for all to see. Maybe if she were a warrior then Flamestar would have taken her seriously. If she were a warrior then maybe she would have already gotten Windpaw back. Frustration twisted her stomach. Why couldn’t her Clan, her own leader, take her seriously just because she wasn’t a warrior? It wasn’t fair, and that only angered the gray tabby more.
[ im totally here for some rogue stuff! we could start setting up our rogue characters, get a look into their relationships and drama and whatnot? perhaps even figure out more with bur's situation (unless you already had that figured out) o: ]

Ashpaw
With - [ Heatherpaw ]
Location - [ RindleClan Territory ]
The pensive look upon Heatherpaw's countenance spoke volumes. Despite her ruffled coat and flaring golden eyes, even she was able to appreciate the truth to his words. Yet, the blaze within her heart resumed and Ashpaw forced himself to swallow a fiery retort. It's not my fault we're in this mess! He wanted to howl against Heatherpaw's pointed words and lashing tone. His irritation was palpable, unveiling itself in the prickling of fur around his neck, and the lash of his bushy tail. "I never said we have to go back to Flamestar," he uttered with a voice as taut as pulled wire. Why does she have to get so fired up and make this difficult?!
Sighing deeply, Ashpaw made an effort to keep his cool by rolling his shoulders to loosen the tension that had built between the blades. He'd made the promise to help - he had to remember that. Due to the lack of leadership from Flamestar it only felt right to try and solve this issue with Heatherpaw. Even though she's a thorn in my paw.
"Why don't we ask Boulderfur?" The solid grey tom was Windpaw's mentor, he seemed to have the patience of a queen with a pawful of kits, but Ashpaw flicked his tail, contemplating how Boulderfur might respond to their desperate pleas. Boulderfur was quite the no-nonsense tom - he might shrug them off with the fact that he had more important things to do. He didn't dare consider his own mentor - Hickoryburn - as often Ashpaw found himself butting heads with the older ruddy tomcat. "Who is someone that's always there; someone that doesn't think we are playing a kits game," to help his brain focus, Ashpaw began pacing around the clearing.
Ashpaw's brows furrowed, his expression deeply ruminative, until finally it struck him like a match. Turning to face Heatherpaw, his yellow-green eyes were unwavering as he spoke, "Elmheart."
The cheery tabby tom had expressed concern since the very beginning. It seemed worth a try to ask.
Pascal
With - [ Europa ]
Location - [ RindleClan Border ]
Pascal felt his blood begin to boil as Europa claimed that he left his victim escape first. A growl gurgled deep in his throat and his lips twitched in the beginnings of a snarl. It would only take a heartbeat to begin a fight with the larger molly, that was for sure, yet Pascal had to control himself. Most importantly, he didn't dare upset Alice. He looked up to his dear leader with heart-shaped eyes, to disappoint her would destroy his very being. The other fact, that he sourly admitted to himself, was that he didn't think he could match the orange molly in battle. Though he had quick wits and agility, she had pure brutish strength. That wasn't something he could combat alone and the fact made him feel belittled.
Digging his claws into the earth, he turned his head and scoffed. Flicking his ears, he indicated that he'd heard her words as he followed after her. "Alright, then." He mumbled, sounding just as sour as he looked.
It was not a long trek back to the rogue camp. Past the RindleClan border, following near the twoleg trail, was what they knew as a twoleg dumping ground. Their camp was built with all sorts of miscellaneous twoleg-things that the strange furless creatures had left in the forest. Upon entering, Pascal could see his sister Basil lounging atop a white and red box. It was made of a material that was unnatural to the cats, something hard and cold that grew red over time from the elements. Whilst the top was solid there was a hole on the side with enough space for a cat or two to make as a nest.
 Basil perked up as Europa and Pascal approached, her green eyes brimming with excitement. The young molly was only fourteen moons - hardly a warrior by clan standards - and she took much excitement from all the rogue group did. She believed that they were truly doing a good thing by taking down the clan cats; that the clan cats had no right to take so much land for themselves and leave rogues to fend for themselves. "How'd it go?!" She squeaked, looking between her brother and Europa.
Nearby, the black and white tom known as Whisker paused his grooming, swiveling his big ears to catch the conversation. He dared not leave his post, however, as he had the important task of ensuring their prisoner did not escape. Windpaw - as he called himself - was currently stuck in the hollow of a purposely made den. Branches overlapped and were stuffed with leaf litter in order to create a strengthened wall, to escape by breaking it would cause too much noise and disturb the guard. Inside, Windpaw was curled tightly into a ball, his sides rising faintly with each uneven breath.
[ for reference, basil was sitting on top of a washing machine cx
i think it'd be cool to do something with bur! was there any rogue character you kind of wanted to plot with, too? ] |

Heatherpaw »
Perhaps she was being too harsh with Ashpaw - he didn’t have to help her with any of this, after all - but she couldn’t hold her tongue. She couldn’t put out the fire that raged within her. It was scorching, and not even Ashpaw’s clear display of annoyance was enough to put it out. If she were thinking clearly then she would know to be appreciative of her denmate’s help, but Windpaw was out there somewhere, taking by a pack of unruly rogues, and Heatherpaw couldn’t take just standing around doing nothing. His voice had been so frightened last night… Briefly she wondered why she cared so much. Usually Windpaw’s antics were like a fly buzzing around her ear. He was a thorn in her side, but deep down, he was her friend, and if Heatherpaw was one thing, it was loyal to those she cared about.
Heatherpaw took in a deep breath, attempting to calm the raging fury inside her. She looked down at the ground, trying to focus on what was underneath her rather than everything else going on. Deep breaths, deep breaths… She recalled how Hummingfrost would brush her tail along Heatherpaw’s back when she got too worked up as a kit. Her temper had been bad then as well, but Hummingfrost had always worked her daughter through every second of her anger. How Hummingfrost handled it was beyond Heatherpaw, but her mother had always been able to calm her down. That’s what she could focus on - her mother, and even her littermate Mintpaw, who’s temper was mellow and her heart just as kind as their mother’s.
Trying to tap into a softer disposition, Heatherpaw stood there in silence for a moment longer, taking in the smells and sounds of everything around her; the wind held a hint of moisture, the air filled with the sounds of faraway birds. ”Boulderfur?” She questioned, copper eyes turning to look over at Ashpaw as he brought up Windpaw’s mentor. The tomcat was patient, extremely so, but he didn’t seem like the type to drop everything for the word of two apprentices. ”I’m not so sure…” Surely Boulderfur would do anything for his apprentice, but perhaps he had moved on, following the same thought process as Flamestar. Who, then, should they ask? Heatherpaw was coming up with blanks as she ran through a list of all the warriors in the Clan. Who would want to go out and help two apprentices? Who would take them seriously? Who wouldn’t mind following around two ‘paws without Flamestar’s knowledge?
Before she could come up with a name, Ashpaw beat her to it, saying a name that Heatherpaw hadn’t expected, but as she thought about it, the more she came to realize that she actually agreed with him.
”Elmheart,” she murmured in thought. He was a cheerful character, always laughing and joking with his fellow warriors. Never once had Heatherpaw noticed the tomcat downcast or angry. There was always a smile on his face and laughter in his eyes. Yet when Windpaw had gone missing he had expressed concern, so maybe…maybe Ashpaw was on to something here. ”Elmheart it is,” she finally agreed with a firm nod.
Europa »
Europa could feel the tension coming from Pascal. In her opinion he wasn’t doing a very well job of hiding his hostility toward her, and she made it no secret to the tomcat that she knew what he was feeling inside. Her gaze was steely as she looked him over, a silent statement that simply told the tomcat to watch his claws. Should he try and go up against her, it wouldn’t end well for him, and Europa, for as much as she was annoyed at him, would hate to bare her fangs and sink them into the flesh of a cat she called a group member.
Fortunately for the both of him, Pascal stood down. His words were drenched with a sour taste to them, but Europa paid no mind, only nodded in his direction and followed him in silence back to camp.
Before long the wilderness turned into twoleg trash. Europa’s nose scrunched up against her face as the stale scent of garbage hit her. This was one reason why she couldn’t wait to get rid of the Clan cats - she longed for a camp with fresh air, and somewhere that she didn’t feel cramped. Europa sighed slowly, releasing a breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding in. This was her home now, at least until Alice’s plans came to fruition.
Her thoughts were splintered by the arrival of Basil, the young molly as bouncy and bubbly as ever. Her youth gave her energy, but it also seemed to give her a naive sense of the world, and Europa felt that, in the end, that would only get poor Basil in trouble one of these days.
Not one to beat around the bush or speak a lie, Europa answered briskly, ”The Clan cats got away.” Then, without missing a beat, she asked, ”Have you seen Alice?” Europa was sure the tortoiseshell leader would still be somewhere in camp, but there was the chance that she was outside on a patrol.
[ basil is adorable and i love her and her washing machine perch ;w;
im down to plot with any of them! i do think something with star and comet would be fun, they've always been interesting characters for me to play~

[ no rush on replying, but I am excited for it!!
Oh man, poor Pascal, but that would be such an interesting dynamic to work with, and it especially works since alice typically falls for other females if she gets any romance xD
As for star and comet, they’re a pair I always have fun with - star is cunning and rather smart, sort of a patient mastermind that subtly sows deceit into groups, his charisma is pretty high too, so his skills as a manipulator tends to be good
Comet is the cheerful, happy one, a bit stupid since star took the braincell. He’s easily manipulated and he pretty much lives to please, but he’s a big softie ]

[ i spent too long procrastinating and now it's bed time xD promise i'll reply here first thing when i'm on tomorrow! (probs after work?)
also that's totally cool! pascal is just hopelessly in love with someone who has absolutely 0 interest, it seems very fitting for him lol!
sweet! they sounds great >:3
i think when heatherpaw, ashpaw, and elmheart arrive to investigate it would probs be bur who finds them initially. she warns them to leave without windpaw and they start to get argumentative about it, but then a few extra rogues go to see what bur is doing and she has to hide the clan cats. from there they can kind of plan how they might try and sneak windpaw out.
and of course, once they sneaked him out they will then have to deal with the rogues, so it won't be the end of that haha ]

Ashpaw
With - [ Heatherpaw ]
Location - [ RindleClan Territory ]
Elmheart. Ashpaw nodded alongside Heatherpaw, setting his jaw with newfound aspiration. If the could enlist the help of the warrior then they would have a chance at getting closer to the rogues. Glancing at Heatherpaw from the corner of his eyes, he wondered what she was thinking. Personally, his urgency in this entire misadventure was heightened much like her own, though he wasn't worried about Windpaw like she was. Instead, his concern laid in the fact that he didn't want rogues inviting themselves into their home. Rescuing Windpaw was important too, of course, but that was a collateral mission. First and foremost, he had to consider what would be best to help everyone.
Taking a few steps forward - towards the direction of camp - Ashpaw let out a long breath that he didn't realise he'd been holding. "I suppose we'd better go." Glancing back to the golden-gazed apprentice, he added, "Someone has to help us save the clan." There was a satirical sort of drawl to his tone, one that might make someone assume he wasn't taking the situation seriously. Yet, one look into his pale green eyes, and a passionate fire burned brighter than ever before.
He pushed his way through the undergrowth, unflinching as scratchy tendrils tugged at his fuzzy coat - some debris becoming lodged into the fur of his tail as it swept over the ground.
Basil
With - [ Europa ;; Pascal ;; Whisker ;; Bur ;; Windpaw ]
Location - [ Rogue Camp ]
Basil blinked silently, glancing from Europa, then to Pascal as she registered what had been said. "Got away?" She shuffled her paws, green eyes growing round with concern. She hesitated at the next question, needing a moment to process before to waved her tail in the direction towards Alice's den. "I think she was in there before, I think she might have been discussing plans with Burdock."
There was a sudden hiss, followed by scraping of paws over the ground. "Get back in there!" The growl came from Whisker. The lanky toms pelt bristled and he was crouched in front of the den that housed the prisoner, with one paw he lashed out. A pained squeak sounded as a result.
"You'll never catch my friends!" The cheep came from Windpaw. Whisker lashed out again - mumbling something that Basil didn't hear. After that, the commotion seemed to have calmed down, Whisker turned to look at the three cats nearby and gave his chest a few chagrined licks.
Basil's pelt prickled and a shudder trilled down her spin. "That little cat seems to be getting more and more upset everyday."
Pascal sniffed, shouldering forward in the direction of Alice's den, "Once we bring him a few friends he'll calm down," he snorted cynically.
