Caci Location // The Forest (By The Stream within Artichoke and Caci’s Territory) Caci kept pace beside her mate, her paws dipping into the icy, slightly pin prickly snow as they walked. She’s always liked walks through the forests, especially once she’s aquatinted with the surroundings. Learning the perfect route, the long or quick shortcut. If there’s one thing she takes pride in, it’s her memorization. Her surroundings already look familiar (the white tom obviously), the twisted, or picturesque trees, or the dips and hills they walk on. Caci gives Arti a look every time his grin turned smirk catches her gaze, chattering in response to his teasing. And she quietly returns then, laughing when he gives her a look at her muttered words. She carefully makes her way down, not sliding down like she normally would after him, trying to be particularly careful with her steps. Caci feels more energized this morning, her ears pricked happily, and her gait loose, but occasionally careful. Her ear tilts as she catches noise of something near the partially frozen over stream, chattering ever so quietly, but loud enough to alert Artichoke’s attention. Tilting her head, she peaks around the trees covering them.

Yay would you lookie here!! starters !! :3 anyones welcome to jump in with pumpkin or newt, idm! P u m p k i n | ❀ . • ° ✿ ° • . accompanied by: cat [ tag ] As soon as the back door opened, Pumpkin booked it out into the garden of her "territory" -- it was genuinely just her back yard -- and rolled on the snow covered geass. She purred in enjoyment as the strands of green grass tickled her nose. She always enjoyed being outside, as it was never a dull feeling of freedom. Yeah, sure, she loved living with her humans, but she also loved the feeling of the wind in her pelt and clawing at real trees, and not some make shift, cardboard that was against the wall inside her home.
The small molly rolled over, onto her stomach, and looked up towards the fence that blocked her from the woodlands. Her amber gaze lit up curiously. It had been a while since she even left the confines of her garden. Surely she wouldn't be out long if she stepped into the undergrowth for a few hours, right? Her humans knew she'd be home by the time the moon started to float upwards. Pumpkin sat up, licked her chest a few times before making her way over to the fence and jumping up gracefully.
The molly sat atop her fence for a few moments before jumping down and trotting towards the forest. She would just take a peek. She wouldn't be long. There is no harm in exploring. And maybe chasing a squirrel or two. She thought and lifted her head, sniffing at the air before she slipped past the thickets and low brush. She just wanted to explore. So, that's what she was going to do. ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ N e w t | ❀ . • ° ✿ ° • . accompanied by: cat [ tag ] The barn was pretty quite- it was just how the somewhat grouchy tom enjoyed it. He sniffed at the air from his makeshift nest on the hay. It was actually a little too quiet. Usually he'd hear the other cats that lived around the barn. Sure, he was pretty new to the abode, but he didn't think he'd scare any of the other barn cats off. The grey ticked tabby sat up and stretched, figuring it would be best if he got up for the day to get some food and sun— if it was even out. Maybe when he slipped out he'd run into one of the others. Not that he necessarily cared. Newt wasn't exactly social, and he was just glad none of the other barn cats pressured him into talking much when he first arrived and asked for a place to stay.
Newt couldn't really recall how long ago his arrival was now, though. But surely it wasn't that long. He shook out his pelt and trotted across the dirt path that led through and out of the barn. Nosing his way out of the double doors, his heterochromatic gaze shifted to look around slowly. Huh, weird. No cat was in front of the barn like he would have assumed. Oh well, he could hunt alone. The grey tabby tom trailed along the dirt, sniffing at it curiously for any hint of a mouse or rat that he could catch, while his stomach growled with hunger.
Eventually, the young tom caught a whiff of a mouse nearby and lowered himself to a crouch, getting ready to stalk it. Newt placed his paws down silently as he crept forwards, before he went to leap at the small mouse. He caught it with ease, delivering that final blow, before picking it up and glancing around. Mouse dangling from Newt's mouth, he made his way towards the snowy path near one of the barn windows, plopping down to start eating. Surely another cat would come running around soon, he just didn't know when.

(Welcome Ross! ^^) --- ArtichokeLocation: The Forest (Artichoke and Caci's Territory {The Stream}) With: Caci and Mist ( soot and ✧˚ · . ~ Astra`Rise ~ . · ˚✧ ) Artichoke’s ears twitched at the Caci’s soft chatter and he turned to join her, his fur brushing hers as he came by her side. It didn’t take him long to catch sight of the white molly in question. He immediately stiffened, his short fur bristling and a low growl rumbling in his throat. He stepped out from behind the trees. He was in no mind to go about hiding while some cat was lingering near his territory. Best to give this cat a clear message. “You there!” he spat sharply, his tail lashing as he stalked forward and into plain sight. "Do you have any idea where you stand?"(Now he's making me think of those stuffy noblemen from so many stories, lol.) (Anyways, since this time is different than before, I wasn't sure on which side of the stream Mist is on. So I left it open to your discretion, Astra. ^^ Where dost thou stand? XD Hope this response works alright.)

Mist
In the forest - Light soot
Mist turned her head quickly and responded "In the forest..?" she said with a muffle of laughter behind her voice, she trotted towards the cat and sniffed "You know, you smell like that cat scent i smelled a few days ago,so what's the matter, i know where i am? i'm not lost! i just came here to catch some prey in these harsh winters you know?"
(the place where mist is, is like an open clearing and then trees surrounding it. your in the trees i guess)

Caci Location // The Forest (Artichoke and Caci's Territory Borders) Caci gave the curiously spoken molly a polite look, before realizing the danger said molly might be in. Glancing towards her pointed fur mate, his back arched, and a look of plain aggression on his face. Oh, dear. Staying firmly by his side, Caci inches forward some head tilted as she gives Artichoke a pointed, and easy to read look, 'Listen before you pounce'. Well, that's what Artichoke has learned to interpret it into, anyway. Sitting down, her tail curling around her paws to keep them warm as she looks through the trees, and towards the clearing the other molly. Caci chatters in quiet amusement. "A forest, really? I didn't notice." She starts, tail flicking, making sure she's still close enough to Artichoke he (hopefully) doesn't feel an explicit need to shield her. Well.. that's probably a hard to ask task, with the news. Caci smile warm, and bright, ears perked. "I'm glad to hear you're not lost. It is so easy to, in a forest like this. Though.. speaking of lost. Me and my mate, we've recently claimed this as our territory." She adds a moment later, easy to see how this molly might've come a bit too close without meaning to. And even within sight outside of their borders is far, far too close for Artichoke's currently heightened awareness of how vulnerable Caci might be. So any cat (young or old) a few tail lengths away? That's.. a bit of a no no in his vocabulary. (I hope this is an alright carry on for the situation! Caci's trying to be polite, and reign in the thundering fury ready to pounce beside her xD)

She’d probably be sloppy and loud while trying to chase some prey if that might help choose :3 she’d end up either needing assistance or scolding, whoever works.

ArtichokeLocation: The Forest (Artichoke and Caci's Territory Borders) With: Caci and Mist ( soot and ✧˚ · . ~ Astra`Rise ~ . · ˚✧ ) Artichoke’s back arched, and his claws unsheathed as the seemingly oblivious molly blatantly approached him to catch his scent. His back arched when the stranger drew close, every muscle and fibre in his being radiating aggression toward the white molly. It was only Caci’s firm presence and the pointed look she gave him that kept him from enlightening the foolish stranger before them with a few blows and chasing them off for good. He didn’t care to hide the aggravated roll of his eyes, and his tail continued to lash behind him as he listened with exaggerated, simmering patience. The molly didn’t look all that dangerous, though he wouldn’t put it past her to pull something. She was intruding upon one of his treasures, and was far too close to another of his treasures. Normally Caci would be able to take care of herself, but bearing kits as she was… and seeing some of the effects it had upon her the other night~ he did not want to risk having her near danger of any kind, no matter how small. The white molly’s words however, only further infuriated him. She admitted to smelling them before, and yet she had decided it was alright to just stroll right on in? She seemed like a kit in adult form, completely unaware of what he was capable of. Oh how much he desired to prove to her exactly what he was capable of. While Caci sat, Artichoke chose to remain standing, taking an intimidating step forward into a position where he could easily take on the molly if she dared come closer to his mate. It was a stark contrast to Caci’s warm, bright expression. It might have been alright if she had unknowingly stumbled across the territory like an oblivious kittypet. He might have been able to let it go is she would have left and never returned. But upon the white molly’s words the (metaphorical) cloud of impending fury around him grew exponentially in size. A creepy smile crept on to his face as he took another step forward, closing some of the space between them. “Prey..? Plenty?” his voice slid out eerily, and his head tilted almost mockingly. She had mentioned earlier to coming here to catch prey. And now she wanted to ‘share’ it, as if she hadn’t been the one to steal it in the first place. No wonder there hadn’t been as much prey around this morning! It was taboo to catch prey on another cat’s territory, and every cat should know that. Surely Caci knew this cat had to be taught a lesson. “Do you have any idea what it means to catch prey on another cat’s territory? Not to mention ‘plenty’ of it,” he growled in question with a low, but venomous tone. (Ahahah. I do apologize on Artichoke's behalf. XD Mist seems like a very capable, kind and friendly cat. <3 Even if Artichoke cannot see that.)

Mist Near the stream - with Light and soot
Mist's tail cowered beneath her torso "Oh.. my apologies, i didn't know i was on another cats territory, i assumed you guys were passing loners, i have a few herbs that are good for cats who are having kits, i have spiderwebs incase something goes wrong or some borage for milk, if that makes it up, i dont have any ideas, do you just want this prey i caught?" she meowed trying to sound nice as her tail lifted up and twitched, she had no plan to harm anyone, specifically not to harm the pregnant she cat, but if shed have to put her paws on this cat, she would have to and would do so to defend herslef, even if it wasnt her territory

Caci Location // The Forest (The Edges of Artichoke, and Caci's Territory) Caci flicked her tail sharply, but gave the offering cat a soft gaze. "We certainly appreciate the offer." She starts, getting onto her paws lightly. "But I'll have to refuse for now, we're plenty stocked with what we have on our territory. You should keep those for yourself, as a loner." Caci adds, and it's true, even during the coldest days, this forest still provides. Shelter in the oddest places, prey hiding in the same places every cat does during the biting cold storms, and water all around if you're unable to break through the floor of ice that covers the river. And Caci has her family, not to far off, if they truly need help with the kits. Overall though, with what this territory of theirs has, they should acclimate well. With a slightly twitching ear, she shakes her head, "Save the prey for yourself as too. All we ask is you make sure.. to avoid crossing our territory boundaries in the future. It's easy to mistake a cat for a rogue, or a loner wanting to stir up a ruckus." Her head tilts, keeping as polite an exterior as she can. As much as she dislikes fending cat's off like this, it's likely safer for said cat's to be gently let down on passing through their territory. Less claw happy, snow colored toms about with a pregnant mate.

Zee's thoughts lingered idly on the plethora of cats in, and around the barn. So many, yet there's barely a whiff of anycat's scent the moment he steps paw outside. Not counting that old storage bin, or those little panels of wood laid outside that mice like to hide, and gather under. Outside of hunting grounds, not a scent in the breeze to be caught. Which is why when his eyes catching a cat, a bit larger than himself, sitting by one of the windows of the Barn. Hm. He was getting a bit bored walking out here by his lonesome. Flicking his blue tail he casually steers his paws towards the other cat, his ears pointed, and his head tilted just slightly. Giving a slightly lazy grin, he stops not far off. Seems like the cat -a tom from his scent- managed to find prey to snack on. One thing he does so admire about the barn, it's ability to attract prey, even in the coldest, dire of seasons. "Caught something good? I do hope so, my sister always says there's something sour tasting in Barn prey, I beg to differ." He says, almost talking partly to himself as he seats himself right in front of the tom, tail covering his front paws. "I wonder why that is. Maybe something in forest prey that differs from what Barn mice eat?"(Here we go! I hope this is alright ^^)

here we go :D hopefully this is a good reply <3 so sorry if it doesn't give much to respond to eee, i did try though. N e w t | ❀ . • ° ✿ ° • . accompanied by: Zee [ soot ] location: the barn Newt always tended to keep to himself, so it was never on his radar to expect another barn cat to come around and stir up a conversation with him. While the grouch never really minded talking- it was more of the fact that it was with other cats he didn't really know well. Things had been different ever since he had left his old home in the two-leg place to live away from twolegs and monsters. He had never felt safe with all the chaos going on over there, and was more than happy to be away from it. However, that led him to being amidst other cats. Ones he knew nothing or very little about despite being around for- well, he lost count now.
That's why when Zee padded over and struck up a conversation, the grey ticked tabby's ears flattened ever so slightly. But, Newt shook away the feeling of uncertainty and nudged the prey in front of him with his nose, listening indifferently to the blue-grey tom as he spoke. To Newt or himself, the grouch didn't really know. He honestly didn't plan to respond, but something bubbled in his mind to get him to open his maw.
Not wanting to seem rude - especially when Zee was another resident of the barn - Newt started to speak in turn. "Have you ever been in the forest?" He asked curiously. Newt had passed through it on his way to the barn, stopping once or twice to catch food. He had been there since, but didn't find much outside of the scent of other cats leaving their marks on the territory. "But, the mouse is as good as it'll get for the prey here. I suppose." Newt mumbled, taking a bite of the rodent. It was a relatively small thing- seeing as he managed to gobble it up in three bites. "I, personally, would have to agree with your sister, though. Not sure what it is, but something about the forest prey makes it taste better." He agreed, sitting up slowly and beginning to wash his coat. "You'll probably have to go see for yourself if you haven't yet." He mewed between licks on his chest, settling to grooming in hopes the conversation was over.
But, alas, Newt knew it would be a long shot. All these other barn cats tended to have the tendency to yap and meow his ears off, despite his disinterest in chatter. But, like most times, he was in their home, even if he was welcome. He didn't want to be rude, so he partook in conversations during the day, until he slept or went to go on a walk - alone. He couldn't complain much otherwise. He just hoped the conversation didn't last longer than he liked or intended, but that was totally up to Zee and his curiosity.

ArtichokeLocation: The Forest (The Edges of Artichoke and Caci's Territory) With: Caci and Mist ( soot and ✧˚ · . ~ Astra`Rise ~ . · ˚✧ ) Artichoke’s creepy smile slipped away and his ear flicked in annoyance that Caci had decided to let the stranger keep the prey she caught on their territory. But Caci’s words were careful and thought out. His mate always had a way with words. It was one of the many reasons he loved her so. Artichoke’s fur flattened somewhat and his lashing tail slowed, though by the way he held himself, he didn’t look much less intimidating. He and Caci had first met under similar circumstances and ever since Caci had moved in, he had been encouraged to converse with intruders before attacking. He couldn’t deny that it had him itching for a fight. However, though he found her supposed helpfulness suspicious, the molly before them didn’t seem to be much of a threat. If the intruding molly took heed of Caci’s words- and that was IF she took heed of Caci’s words- Artichoke would have no further need to teach her a lesson. His claws remained unsheathed, just in case. “Bear in mind, this is a generous offer. Given only because you were unaware of our borders until now. If you happen to cross again and decide to go about hunting on our territory, we won’t be nearly as lenient,” he meowed, the underlying threat clear in his tone. Despite his no-nonsense tone, his earlier anger seemed to have subsided. He exchanged a quick look with Caci, before returning it to the molly before him. He shook himself and began stepping forward, not nearly as threateningly as he had before. This time he did not directly approach the white stranger, but moved as if to pass her. “We shall escort you to the border. Lucky for you, it isn’t far."

Comet »
Drawing in the air around him to taste the scents came back with disappointing results. A mouse or shrew would have been more promising, easier prey to catch, but when Comet only caught scent of the bird again, he had to admit that if they wanted to eat, they were going to have to try for the bird. Avians were harder prey to catch, tricky little creatures, but it was worth a shot if that was all they were going to find.
Comet shuffled his paws against the hard packed snow covering the ground. ”Not very,” he admitted somewhat sheepishly. Jack Frost seemed like a kind tom, but what if that changed once he knew of Comet’s unease at catching birds? Hunger could turn a friend into an enemy quicker than the weather could change. That’s what Star had told Comet before at least. He wondered briefly where his brother was at the moment, knowing that Star had headed off toward the moor to try his luck at hunting. Perhaps luck had come Star’s way and he had been able to find a rabbit - perhaps two, but that was pushing it. For all of Star’s skill, Comet knew that two rabbits in this weather would be beyond lucky.
”Did you want to track it or try something else?” Comet asked, shifting his stance once more. It was clear that Comet wasn’t much of a leader, and instead allowed others to make decisions for him. If Jack Frost wanted to abandon the bird scent then Comet would follow, despite wanting to try their chances at the bird. Jack Frost's shoulders slumped slightly and he nodded. "I'm a bit hefty to go after feathered prey." Marco was the bird catcher; the lighter tomcat could jump higher than any other cat Jack Frost knew. Granted, he didn't know many cats. Lifting his nose, he gave the air one more taste. When he couldn't get any other scents, he sighed. "But it can't hurt to head that way and at least see where the bird is at." Shaking of the bits of snow from his pelt, he started in the direction of the bird. Maybe they'd get lucky and the bird would be on the ground? Luck was not on their side. Said bird was fluttering around collecting pine- likely for their winter nest. Jack Frost's ears drooped, but he held in the sigh that wanted to escape. Marco would be so disappointed in him if he'd ruined whatever small chance they had by sighing. Maybe the bird would pause for a moment? Glancing over at his companion, he wondered what Comet would make of the situation.
