Wila »
No. Wila was not going to back out of this. The thought of falling under the ice and never returning from the frozen water was enough to send fright shuddering down her spine, but she wasn’t about to turn tail and run now. She wanted to see the moorland. She wanted to explore further with Flame. She wanted to prove to him that she was brave, that she had the heart of a lion and not the softness of a kittypet. Her claws unsheathed as she flexed her paws. ”We’re going to the moor today,” she decided firmly, ambition flaring hot in her chest, making her forget the blanket of snow that swathed the land.
Until she jumped down from the fence and sank into a pile of snow.
A shocked squeak escaped the young molly’s mouth as a sudden rush of cold snaked up from her limbs. She jumped back, tail bristling, teeth chattering. What a way to show her determination off to Flame! Now she just looked like a fool, like some stupid kit.
Wila shook herself off, stiffly slipping out of the pile of snow she had just jumped straight into. Perhaps she should have looked down before just jumping like that. Scanning the nearby area she could see multiple places in which she could have jumped down onto without such a failure. The Burmese huffed, marching her way over to Flame, hoping to just ignore the whole ordeal she had just put herself in.
Alice »
Alice loved her kits, she truly did, but sometimes the responsibility of being a mother was overwhelming. Too much. Out of all the cats she had taught the way of barn life to, they had never been this young. She had never dealt with kits as young as her litter right now, and she was beginning to realize she didn’t want to deal with young kits like this ever again.
Oh, they were so lucky they were of her own blood or else she might just let them run amok.
That was nonsense and irritation speaking. For as annoying as it was, she would never allow any of her barnmates to be in trouble and stay in trouble.
A hiss escaped the tortoiseshell upon hearing Kite, one of her sons, calling out to her, his voice clearly coming from somewhere above. Her head craned upward, fur instantly spiking when she realized where her son was. ”Kite!” She growled, muscles already bunching in preparation of leaping upward to grab her unruly son. ”Get down from there, now!” She had closed her eyes for all of five minutes. Five minutes and her kits had gone absolutely wild! It was times like these that made her long for the days that her three kits were still nursing at her belly, legs too stumpy to walk and eyes still closed shut. They had been so small back then, and the only stress they gave her wasn’t any fault of their own. It had been Alice’s own stress gnawing at her, her worries of Simon coming back and trying to take her kits from her. Her ears flattened and her claws unsheathed at the mere thought of the ticked tabby tom. How foolish she had been to fall for that fox-hearted cat, how stupid she had been to give him a piece of her heart.
Alice loved her kits, she truly did, but sometimes she felt ashamed when she looked at them. For as much as she denied it, Simon lived on inside them. Simon’s blood ran in their veins just as much as Alice’s blood did. Even if none of her three had been born looking exactly like Simon, she could see small features of him in her brood. Amber’s pointed ears, Kite’s tabby markings on his limbs, Finch’s slender build…all reminders of Simon. All glimpses of that arrogant tom.
Alice growled at herself. Now wasn’t the time for such thoughts. Kite was currently trying to climb as high as he could, and kits were clumsy. One wrong move and he’d be tumbling down to the barn floor and no telling what sort of injuries he would occur.
Quick to make sure her daughter and other son were not on the verge of danger - Amber had pounced atop Finch who squealed in laughter, his paws swatting all over the place as he tried to get his sister off of him - Alice then focused all her attention onto Kite. With swift movements she was soon atop the haybale, quicker yet to scoop her son’s scruff into her jaws and carefully glide back down onto the barn floor. There she let Kite go, green eyes scorching as she eyed him. ”Don’t you ever do that again, do you understand? You could have gotten hurt.” As furious as she was she bent down to lick Kite between the ears, puffing out a sigh that exposed her verbal frustration. She then nudged him to his paws. ”Go play with your littermates.” Hopefully the trio could do that without endangering themselves. And Alice was going to make sure she never let her eyes stray from her brood.

Pumaheart »
Pumaheart had never gone to the barn. Rarely did she leave her cave, and rarer did she leave the nearby area. She left to hunt and drink, but beyond that, her paws were as connected to this stone floor as the stone floor was to the earth underneath. A few times, back when she had been an apprentice, her mother had taken her out to explore the moor and the forest. They had left the cave for an entire seven sunrises and sunsets. That had been the only time she had never slept underneath this cave’s ceiling, the only time her paws had known something more than just stone. Edwina’s description of the barn certainly made Pumaheart curious to visit it one day. She knew of the place, had heard tales of the farmland that bordered the vast expanse of moorland that stretched from the stream to the mountains to the west, but never had she set paw on the land or even looked at it with her own eyes. It sounded like an interesting place. It sounded like it was a Clan in its own special way.
As the seal point continued to speak, Pumaheart noticed a flash of uncertainty in her eyes, a glimmer of confusion. Of course she would be confused. Any cat would if this was being presented to them. Though she had to hand it to Edwina, many cats would have completely balked under all this new pressure, would have crumbled like weak stones. It took a cat with the heart of a lion to remain steady on their paws and continue speaking about this world of StarClan and destiny.
Kuta, Smoke, Percy, and now Edwina. StarClan had chosen some fine cats to present to her.
Affection warmed Pumaheart’s pelt at Edwina’s words, listening as the other molly complimented her mother’s name. ”Eaglesong is a beautiful name,” she agreed gently, lovingly. ”Had you gotten the chance to meet her you would understand just how fitting it was for her. I could never bring justice to the name like she did.” Majestic and hardworking, yet so loving and gentle. Eaglesong had been a duality of a cat, as strong as a warrior but as gentle as a queen. She had been as tactical as a leader but as soulful as a medicine cat. Pumaheart could not even begin to compare to the molly that her mother had been, but she was grateful all the same for Edwina’s praise. To be compared to her mother was a compliment that meant more than Edwina would ever realize.
Ah, but now was not the time to get lost in thoughts of Eaglesong. For as much love Pumaheart harbored for her mother, there were more important things than the beautiful molly at the time. ”StarClan has not told me anything about leaders thus far, and in fact, they have not outright told me who the medicine cats are. Medicine cats are rarer than warriors, but they are easier to find. Not many cats hold the knowledge of herbs inside their head, and fewer yet have a true connection with StarClan. Between your dreams and your knowledge of herbs, I can quite confidently say you are meant to be a medicine cat.” Smoke was a healer as well, a fine candidate for the medicine cat of the other Clan. But as for leaders… Kuta appeared to be a fine cat, and Percy himself came off as genuine, but would they be able to step up and assume the role of a leader? Were they the right choice for StarClan’s gift of nine lives? That was something she had to think about. Something she had to figure out. ”StarClan will let us know the leaders when the time is right. I suspect they haven’t decided yet, either, and are watching us as we recruit and teach to figure out who has the heart of a leader inside their chest.” That made the most sense to Pumaheart. It was somewhat disappointing to know that the Clans had no established authority, but StarClan worked in mysterious ways, and when they were ready, they would let Pumaheart and her slowly growing group know.
[ i'd be down to do a sarabi and rami scene, soot!! ]
Laika »
She had done it. She had made Leo proud. The two mice that hung limply between her fangs made her proud of herself as well, not because she had proved herself a huntress, but because she had been the reason for Leo puffing out his chest and sporting a toothy grin.
She flushed underneath her pelt at the sight. Laika had always loved when Leo swelled himself up. It made him look all the more like a lion. Winter could be colder than it was now, but Laika would remain warm the entire season if she could just get Leo to always look at her that way.
It took only a second for Laika to gather herself and follow alongside Leo to the secluded corner of the barn. From here the sounds of Alice’s kits and the meows of the other barn cats were but a mere whisper, as if their words were just the hum of the outside wind. In this little corner it felt as if it were just Laika and Leo, the dove and the lion. In this little corner there was nothing else in this world but the two of them. Laika liked that. She loved when it was just the two of them in their own corner of the world. If it could just be the two of them forever… In theory she loved that idea, but the reality was she’d miss their barnmates. She would miss the curious gazes of Wonder and Boz. Would miss the silent guardianship of Alice. The friendly bond between Heather and the barn dogs. And if they made their little corner of the world right here, right in the barn, Laika would miss the stars most of all. Oh, how they shined so bright yet glittered so far away. What she would give to be among them.
But for now she had to settle with being on the ground with Leo.
As soon as the ginger tabby had finished the makeshift nest Laika took a spot, neatly wrapping her tail around her paws as she shifted and grew comfortable. Even far away from the barn door it was still chilly, but between Leo’s body heat and the two plump mice, Laika doubted she’d have to worry about being cold for long. ”Honestly, I think I just got lucky,” she admitted sheepishly, ducking her head as warmth flushed underneath her pelt once again. Leo’s praise simply meant the world to her, and soon that sheepish voice melded into a sheepish gaze, eyes round and meek as she looked back to Leo. ”I like being your silly chicken,” she mewed quietly, almost in a whisper. Even Laika herself barely heard the words, but surely a cat as mighty as Leo would be able to hear. Being able to provide for herself and Leo, being able to provide for a future in which they were truly together and had a family to raise, made her feel useful. Made her feel proud. But did she really have to be an adept mouser in this perfect future? Did she really have to outdo herself and push herself until she was perfect? Her paws shuffled underneath the thickness of her tail. All she wanted in life was to be with Leo and to explore the world. Being perfect wasn’t a part of that, but what if to achieve her dreams she had to be perfect?

simon would probably be in the pine forest, but he’d be very prickly(he hates the cold)
but im not stopping spackle being a little shit to him xD
id like to think simon has no enemies because he doesn’t put up with cats for too long, but the cats he has crossed with his malicious intents know to stay away

I think it would be a good scene though, especially because of Alice's fears that her kits may be stolen and the tension between Simon and the barn cats/dogs.

^^ seconding this
i think its canon simon lurks but he isnt stupid
if the kits were to meet simon it would have to be coincidence and he meets them during one of his stalking sessions patrols
though i think a good way to set that up is having the kits ask alice about their father if yall wanted to go that route!

depending on timelines and whatnot, Alice does have to meet the new farm dog at some point, and Alecto's never interacted with cats that aren't scared of correcting or lashing out at her, so Alecto could serve as a big ol' distraction to Alice

How quickly do you want this to happen? I'm writing Kite's next post right now, so I could ask Alice there I would be cool with that but Feathertalon isn't online so I don't know if they like the interaction idea??? |

I'd like to do it if/when he's open (If you guys are planning a thing for them currently or not??), and very happy to have Spackle be a little shit. I would adore having him sass him passive aggressively. Oo, especially since Spackle might actually know him, since he's been a wanderer from the Barn, to the moors, forest, twoleg place, mountains, all of it. If they've seen eachother in passing or not would be up to you though! |

Totally down for the kits to ask about their father!! Alice may not be the nicest about it though, she’s a tough love sort of gal
As for the kits making an escape, it would take a lot for her to not notice them escaping. And even if they escape from the barn it would be hard for them to make it any further than that, so it may take more than just an Alecto distraction for them to run into Simon

Vanilla - Twolegplace with Magpie (whispering )“Well, that’s not very nice…” Vanilla meowed. She knew about those territorial kittypets. What did they have to protect, honestly? Their housefolk would always give them more food if they needed, and it’s not like anyone could steal their gardens. The fluffy ragdoll molly led the way back to her housefolk, jumping up onto the fence. She cast a look back at Magpie, beckoning to follow. Even if she has grubby paws. “I don’t know if there is enough for you to eat your fill, but you can have whatever is left.” She paused. “I promise. My housefolk won’t be mad. They love cats.” Vanilla began to walk along the top of the fence again, minding her paws she wouldn’t slip on the snow coating it. She thought of all the things that Magpie was telling her about the moorlands. How could it be that it’s less dirty there? Isn’t it all dirt? “So you really do all that? I guess that seems fun…” She thought of bounding across the moor, chasing rabbits and sleeping on beds of petals under the great blue sky. But that’s got to come with a lot of work too… Not that work is bad. Vanilla didn’t want Magpie to think she was too pampered to do anything fun with. “Maybe one day… When this cold is over, I could go there with you. If you’d have me, of course.” Her pelt began to heat up and she looked away shyly. Maybe I made a mistake, inviting myself over.Kite - Barn with Alice, Finch and Amber (Feathertalon , ivypool4life )Kite shrunk under the rasp of his mother’s tongue. He didn’t mean to make her mad… Alice could be really scary when she yelled, but he knew that she was just worried about him. “Ugh… Okay, I’m sorry… I won’t do it again.” He got to his paws to play with his littermates Amber and Finch, who were playing rogue. At least, Amber was. “Raarr! I’m the big old barn cat, and I’ll shred you, rogue! Don’t touch my kits!” Kite mewled as he joined in, tackling Amber from behind. “I’ll save you, Finch!” They exchanged kitten-blows under the watchful eyes of Alice, rolling around in the hay. But Kite noticed her shift uncomfortably when he kept up her act of protecting Finch as his ‘kit’. Tiring of play-fighting, this stayed on his mind as he nibbled at the mouse that Alice had brought them. Why was Alice being so weird about that? He was only playing, but who was their father, anyways? Alice never spoke about him. He looked at Amber, wondering if she had the same question, before piping up “Mom, why don’t we see our dad? You never talk about him either… What’s his name? Ooh, What’s he like? Do you think he’d be proud of me- uh, I mean us?”

(Sure! I'd say Killer didn't come very far onto the farmland with their visits. But as he gets to know more about it, he comes closer to considering paying an actual visit to the barn. XD I have no idea what would happen if he ran into one of the dogs.)
