Zinnia
Twoleg place -|- With Milo (Myst) Zinnia never was the biggest fan of the cold weather, let alone the freezing temperatures of recent times. His short coat, and lanky form wasn’t really ideal for the weather. Not to mention that his lankiness doesn’t necessarily mean he’s tall.But he was surviving.Let the humans ogle him, and get food. Hunt when he’s able to. He’s been sticking around the town more, not really wanting to risk going out into the forest too long by himself in this cold, but recently..Well, it seemed like the recent weather was holding steady. It’s always cold in the morning, but it’s not been dropped dead cold, paws are still numb of course, but not too cold. He’d be able to survive with less risk, and avoid so many cats and twolegs.So today. He headed off towards the forest, keeping his paws from dragging too much on the cold ground, his nose lifted, and ears flat, shoulders bunched up.He was still cold, shivering just slightly before his paws- paused, eyes a tinge narrow as he brings them up to look at a cat who’d…Just politely initiated a conversation. Damnit.The black tom was tempted to hiss that he wasn’t interested in conversation, but.. he doesn’t want to cause any trouble. So he lifted his ears to hear the other cat a bit better, and shuffles his paws.“… Not on this specific side of town.” Well, “Not all that often anyway.” He adds, curious as to why so many of the cats here are so polite. Why do they want to say art conversations with random cats they don’t know, this tom just confirmed off the paw that he doesn’t know him. Hasn’t ever even seen him.He sighs. “My ah… my name is A- Zinnia.” Andy says, ears dipping some, his tone less light than he’d half attempted to do.“Your name?”

Milo if definitely the type to have a southern accent, I feel like it's very fitting for him ivypool4life I've got Dew (likely in the moorland), Vixen (in the forest or marshes) and Bo (farm dog) if you wanna chuck anybody at them c:

also I feel like Milo would be a perfect potential friend for Zinnia just due to his patience - I'm very excited to see how this all plays out

front page updated!
since Alice now has at least one kit (open for more unless Ivy wants Amber to be an only kit), she's open to an ex-mate if anybody wants to build a backstory with that. I'm pretty sure the relationship ended badly and it's probably a reason as to why she has now has a distaste for toms in a romantic sense

Well that’s good ^^’ because I don’t think my brain will compute with him having any other accent- and yeah! I’m kind of liking how they might play out! Zinnia needs some actual friends he doesn’t think are gonna backstab him if he takes one wrong step.
And huh! That’s an interesting dynamic. Speaking of complicated, I’m quite excited for Boz and Alice to meet officially!

got new dog form mostly done but I can't decide on her name?? I've been playing Hades as of late but I can't settle on one for her Alecto Observant | Driven | Excitable Grey/Black brindle Anatolian Shepard with light brown eyes Livestock Guardian Dog // Barn Dog // 19 moons // @ extremelyextra

Oo, I like Alecto! And I love Hades, I just need to… actually finish it

Post by Myst on Aug 6, 2024 23:34:15 GMT -5
oooo Milo is just th friend for him - honestly I don't think Milo could intentionally hurt anybody even if he tried his best to do so
I was leaning toward Alecto to!! it feels so fitting and sameeeee - the second game is out on early access on Steam but I won't let myself by it until I fully finish Hades - I took such a long break from it though that I forget all the strategies I'd built up ;-;

Mhm! Kinda thinking the same thing there. Zinnia is very jumpy, he’s simultaneously on the constant verge of insults, and also fearing he’ll upset someone enough to try and.. well, he’s a tiny guy. So one could step on his paw and suddenly he has no leg.
Yeah! I thought it felt fitting as well!! And.., that’s literally exactly what’s happened with me ;-; I haven’t even made it past the final boss of the first game yet. I slightly suck at rogue type games, so it’s a process ;-;

Post by Myst on Aug 6, 2024 23:50:17 GMT -5
stopppppp xD that wouldn't happen, Milo wouldn't let anybody take his leg, and insults will roll right off this sweet boy like nothing I feel like their dynamic can quickly turn into a cheetah and they're emotional support dog, which I fully love the idea of it
omg the final boss took me WEEKS to get through the first time, and when I did it was with the tiniest shred of health - I very much relate to being kind bad at rogue like games it tragically comes down to repetition - I found my groove with the fists and the shield, and also with one of the spear revelations but I don't remember which one. I found that they're all fairly good weapons for like. running in quick, smacking a couple times and then running away

Post by soot on Aug 7, 2024 0:01:37 GMT -5
Pffft, I mean, he is verrry tiny, so it really depends on which cat steps on his toes.. anyway- omg a cheetah and their support dog feels very accurate ;-; Plus, I think Zinnia can probably, though hesitantly, introduce Milo more properly to the forest. Zinnia is very much in taking the route safest for himself, but if he’s asked to, he might do it!
Especially further on, he’d actually be so happy to have a companion out there.
And I…. Was so siked. I thought I was close[: I was not close at all. Sad sad. I will use that advice once I have access to my pc again though, I’ll just go throw myself at that game and go smack some people to death. Honestly the thing that always gets me is the little witches or the snek.

( ivypool4life - We are open to interaction with Wonder and Boz! Any cat at the barn is welcome to interact with them. For them, it is currently early morning and very cold. :3) WonderLocation: Barn With: Boz and (OPEN) ( soot) Wonder’s ears lifted a tad as Boz went on. He was right. She hadn’t even considered that. Even just imagining Boz waiting on her to the point of hunger made her cringe on the inside with guilt. “That sounds fair,” she agreed when he finished, sounding a tad more perky. She looked up at him with a small smile and twitch of her whiskers. She eagerly listened to his description of the clouds. Like many of the things Boz spoke about, she marvelled at how he must have come by this information. She wondered how long he must have stared at clouds to come to these conclusions, but before she could begin to ask, the barn building creaked and the barn door banged as an eager icy wind flooded in through the entrance. Streaks of snow blew in along with the wind, and dust from the barn floor rose about them. Wonder’s heart leapt in her chest at the loud sound of the doors and she shrunk to the floor as the wind passed over them, raking its icy claws through their pelts. She shivered against the sudden extra cold and subconsciously shifted toward Boz, bumping against his orange and black flank. She looked over at him in surprise. He was closer than she thought he’d be, but cold and startled as she was, she didn’t really mind the proximity. “I suppose these are the t-tall wispy ones,” Wonder chattered, whiskers quivering. Another shiver coursed through her pelt. “Let’s go somewhere a little warmer.” Their original plans for meeting that morning might have to be changed or delayed.

With that in mind I reckon ventures in the forest would be they're most common bonding point, especially since Milo is more than happy to accompany him pretty much anywhere if he allows it - he thrives in social outings It's very much going to be a friendship at Zinnia's pace which Milo will be more than happy to accommodate c:
I feel that - the game got me more than once with bosses having more than one phase ;-; additional phases or entire new move sets at half health were always (and lowkey still are) my downfall. at this point I fully intend to dedicate myself to it again so I can finish it out cause I have to get my hands on the second game - it's so urgent (it's not, I just really want it) The witches are the bane of my existence - I think I hate them in Elysium the most. Even when I got somewhat good at the game they never failed to take me out at least once I think my next most hated are actually a satyr's and their poison spit because they're obnoxious and I can never seem to dodge fast enough to get away from them ;-;
also, it's past my bed time if I want to be useful at work tomorrow - I'll get Milo's reply up probably during work~

Oh definitely! ^^ Zinnia guiding him around and eventually one day just.. sorta realizing he actually trusts Milo! Or something like that! He’s not all that sweet, but he’s an acts of service and loyal to a fault kinda guy, so he’ll definitely stick around Milo and help him out, even if he’s not the most polite.
And saaame, I really want it, but I’m not any where near finishing the game, lmao. I’ll get there someday. I’m intending just about the same thing tbh. And agreed with the witches, they actually have ended so many of my runs it’s hysterical.
And anyyway, good night! I’m excited to see these two have a blooming adorable little friendship

Gray Sky // With Kuta MystAfter a full season circle of travel, all he truly wanted to do was rest. Perhaps he could spend the rest of his long life in solitude, in the dip of earth near the base of the mountains where he’d made his new home. Of course, that sounded to be an ideal plan. If it weren’t for his need to eat and drink. A life where he could trade his everyday needs in order to never interact with any creature ever. Yes, it would be all too much to ask for. Gray Sky gave a huge paw one last lick. He’d spent a long day exploring and his rough pads hadn’t grown used to the softness of the terrain after a years travel climbing the tallest peaks. It had been long before he left the valley since the last time his paws touched such soft terrain… Never mind. I will not dwell on what has already been. He had vowed that to himself as soon as he escaped. And he reminded himself every time those fond memories replayed in his head. This was Gray Sky’s new life. His life of peace and solitude. The shadows of his troubled history would not take that away from him. Or maybe he was being too cruel. After his journey, Gray Sky had had more than enough time to reflect and forgive the actions of the kinship. He held no hatred in his heart towards them. The long-furred cat just wanted to move on from that time onto his new life. But, certainly, remembrance couldn’t hurt every now and then? Could he really scold himself for not forgetting what had once been the only place and cats he knew and loved? Gray Sky grunted. His reflecting was no where near as done as he’d assumed. This new land had proved it. In just a moon he’d thought more about the kinship than he ever had during his travels. Was it a bad omen? Was there something that forced cats to face their traumas hidden in its deaths? Nonsense, don’t be bird-brained.The powerful tom emerged from his den, welcoming the cool, crisp air. Icetime was no where near as cold as it was back in his own home, that was something he relished about this new place. All around him, yellow heather stretched, stiff and brittle from the cold, as far as he could see. Patches of snow dotting the land here and there. When Gray Sky first descended it had all been a winter wonderland, but the snow had melted since then. If his calculations were correct, it would be leafrise soon. Unless the weather was different below the mountains as well. But that was not the strangest thing, no. His heart had plummeted into his belly when he saw, way in the distance, the army of trees that reached up to the sky. The tallest trees he had ever lain eyes on. Gray Sky decided it must have been a forest. A senior’s tale that even he knew. But the tabby had not dared to venture and explore. There was cat scent all around this environment, and Gray Sky wanted no parts. He had even ran into a few in his short time. The first, a small, pitiful, thing, scared out of it’s fur when Gray Sky’s huge form pushed through the gorse with his teeth bared. Gray Sky immediately stood down when he realized it was a kit, but it was too late. The kit had fled before he could utter a word. Strange, he’d thought before turning tail and leaving the air. The next cat had been the strangest creature he’d ever seen. With tall ears and a broad muzzle, it had almost reminded him of the cats back home if the cat hadn’t been so tall. Outstandingly tall. And that was a lot coming from Gray Sky, he was pretty big himself. All mountain cats were. But his meeting with the strange cat had been brief, and frankly, unfriendly. He’d spoken of a strange Clan, and asked Gray Sky if he wanted to join. But the gray and white tom had rudely declined and left the ton alone. What was a clan anyway? They hadn’t talked long enough to find out, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to. He was a lone cat now, after all. The tom trudged onward through the heather, heading to the spring he found that was not too far from his den. Gray Sky had not run into any cats there, and he wondered if he should mark it as his own. But he decided against it. He had met no cats there yet. Perhaps it wasn’t a popular watering hole among the strange wildcats. No matter. The tom trotted at a brisk pace until the pool of mountain water came into view, a continuous trickle falling down the mountainside. Gray Sky, warily glanced around before lowering his head and drinking from the cold mountain water. Relishing in its fresh taste. (my WAY to long introduction x.x my next two posts will not be this long)

(Ooh, I look forward to seeing how this all plays out. :3)
(Ivy and Feather: Don't mind me casually slipping in with some backstory with the new character, Amber. ^^ Alice is currently kinda like the (unofficial?) leader of the barn cats. Talented. Protective of the barn fam. And Wonder is the socially awkward lil' sister Alice has been looking after. So Amber would be Wonder's cute lil' niece! ^^ Wonder would have probably been awkward/shy with her at first, but would be relatively quick to succumb to her adorable whims~ as long as they weren't dangerous. We can always work out what their dynamic was like as we go too! ^^ If that sounds good with you guys. :3)

ivypool4life - they'd be at the barn! Light - adding to lore~ I'm sure Alice is incredibly protective over Amber, just as she is with Wonder, but probably more so with Amber. Not only because Amber is still just a small baby, but I think there is a lot of troubled water under the bridge between Alice and her kit(s)'s father. (I'm starting to get the inklings for a new character to fill the role of Alice's ex-mate and some history/future plot points, but before I get too crazy with it I'm going to keep that spot open just in case somebody would like to fill that role!). I think Alice keeps Amber in a secluded area of the barn and hasn't let her fully explore just yet - all the barn cats know of Amber, but not all have yet to meet her I feel. Wonder is one of the few allowed to interact with Amber and visit her whenever she pleases, but Alice keeps a heavy eye on Amber at all times. I think the first time Alice left the barn since Amber's birth was when she traveled to the mountains and found Binx, and she probably had one of the dogs keep a watch on Amber while she was gone

i think smoke is going to cotton and creamsicle since he's going to the moor to search for herbs? and percy is going to frazzle?
as for the father, I can imagine that his and alice's relationship started slow at first, but once Alice accepted him as a member of the barn things quickly went from acquaintance to passion - it was like a slowburn at first but almost overnight turned quick and fiery, their jump to friendship to romance went too quick I imagine they started fighting more and more, had clashing ideas for what they wanted concerning the barn cat group and Alice was not going to budge. I feel like there was a physical altercation between the two and Alice eventually chased her ex out Maybe he returned a moon later just to see if he could talk to Alice again and that's when he found that she was expecting his kits (she had probably just become pregnant right before the physical fight), and I can see them having argued about that as well - maybe the father wanting to be part of his kits' lives and Alice refusing that, not wanting him to be around at all. Maybe there was even talk about him wanting to take the kits once they were born and whatnot, or maybe he returned a second time not long after their birth and tried taking them so that he could raise them It can very well be expanded on and there's a lot in this idea i have that can be worked with since it's all jumbled right now! Alice may have even ordered the barn dogs to kill her ex-mate if he even so much was spotted near barn territory again, things like that
i will not stop you, im thinking about making an amber sibling now too soooo |D
