One Night at Fourtrees (Happy Forumversary!)

Brokenpetal jumped at the sudden voice, glancing to the source, he studied the she cat, before it dawned on him that she had shared her name. "Hello," he said dipping his head towards her. "I am Brokenpetal." Her name definitely didn't sound like a clan originating one, so he had to assume either a rogue or maybe a kittypet?

His gaze soon registered the hat adoning the she cat's head. Definitely probably a kittypet, while he never actually encountered one, he had heard stories from others that had dealt with them, and how twolegs dressed them up at times. "What brings you all the way out here?" He wasn't trying to be rude towards the she cat, though he coukd tell from how the question came across it was fairly unwelcoming. "Sorry," he atoned. "I just don't often see cats like you out here all to often."

Brokenpetal blinked at all hee questions, a light chuckle leaving him. The questions reminded him much of a kit's excitement then it being a hindrance. "No no, you don't need to apologize," he said shaking out his head. "It's fine to ask questions, I'm happy to answer them. I'm from a clan called Horizonclan, it's settled in a desert. All the cats are nice, at least from my experience. I serve as a medicine cat."

"It is interesting, we live in a desert, and made our home in some old twoleg tuins," he explained to her. His ear twitched in thought as he looked over the area, there were tons of new clan scents, all ones he didn't recongize. "I'm curious as well, I never knew just how many were out there." He wondered what the other clans were like, did they have similar beliefs?

He jumped slightly as her forms changed. Shaking out his fur to calm down. "I was on my way to a hollow, but I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere to end up here." He wasn't all to sure himself how he had come here, but so far wherever here was, it at least seemed safe for the most part.

((Just continuing where I left off, don't mind me))

"I- I mean, I'm not saying that o-other cats h-have beliefs that are wr-r-wrong," Shinedawn stuttered, hoping she hadn't offended Leapkit with her odd views. I just don't think that the afterlife is a starry field where everything is perfect all the time. I don't think that it uh, y'know... makes much sense?"

"Portal," he asked with a frown. The word was foreign to him, and he didn't even have a clue in trying to figure out what it could be. Watching her mess with the hat, eyeing it intrigued by the object before blinking at her excitement. 

"Yes we do, it has been fun to live in. There are various rooms, and we have the deeper ones set up for the nursery and elders den, with having 2 of the 4 dens set up for warriors stationed with them, as well as the 2 apprentice dens. In another wing we have the last of the 2 warriors den, as well as the den for medicine cats. We even had an extra space to use for an infirmary to give us more room to move in the den to treat lesser injured cats, while the ones we need to keep for observation can still have a cozy place where they won't be disturbed by they try to heal."

Shinedawn stumbled forward a bit, the overwhelming cat scent growing stronger with every step. Her feathers ruffled self-consciously-- she hoped that she could ask around and search for a way out without anyone stopping her to stare at her wings. I hope I can find a way out...

Bramblestar: He is a dark brown tom with classic tabby stripes. He has green eyes and a couple of scars on his body. Leader of Brambleclan a kit stealing clan (Hawkeyes258)


Bramblestar takes a moment to collect himself before making his way into the clearing. He hesitated to bring his clan here but decided something like this didn't happen often. Besides, he had a few cats scout the area to make sure that none of their enemy clans were here. The main point was to mingle and potentially scout out new clans to steal from.

He holds his head and tail up high occasionally nodding to different cats as he walked past.

At least she wasn't the most intimidating cat in the clearing: even with the small horns curling in front of Ichorblaze's ears, at least she was smaller than most of the other cats. So when another cat approached her, Ichorblaze tried to make herself as nonthreatening as possible, raising her chin to bare her neck for a moment as she half-closed her eyes, a slow blink of greeting. "Sorry, but I know nothing but the truths of my senses," Ichorblaze said. "And, perhaps, the assumptions I can draw from them. There is only one thing I am certain of: none of us belong here."

A terrifying thought. "Or maybe it's a dream," she offered instead. "Although I do not believe I was asleep... the last thing I remember is journeying with my Clan down the mountainside of my home. And then this." Ichorblaze waved her tail to encompass the moonlit clearing around them, filled with cats she did not recognize. 

"Perhaps there's a common thread. What was the last thing you remember?" Gathering information was second nature to Ichorblaze, it was what she had been trained for. At it's root, this scenario was similar to those Hollowdusk wove for her during her apprenticeship--although much more fantastical and dizzyingly otherworldly. She'd have to be careful about her assumptions on this one, but Ichorblaze was certain this was a puzzle she could solve.

Shinedawn’s eyes went wide in surprise. “Sorrelvine! I’m sorry for wandering off!” She made her way through the crowd to get closer to him, folding in her wings so she wouldn’t brush against anyone. “You haven’t seen the cat I was with, have you? He disappeared…” her gaze dropped for a moment, claws digging into the earth. “You don’t think something bad happened, do you?” She whispered anxiously

(Previously for Sunnyflight...)

"Have you seen anything yet, Starsign?" Sunnyflight was soaring through the skies, just next to the dark warrior Starsign, a pattern of white specks along his black flank. "For the last time Sunnyflight, no!"

"Keep your eyes peeled, Starsign! You never know when you might--" Sunnyflight felt a sharp tug on her right wing and came flying backwards. She lost complete control and came tumbling down to a great crash.

Suddenly she became alert of the surroundings. A place flooded with many cats. "...bad happened, do you?"

That was Shinedawn! Sunnyflight immediately came racing over to were Shinedawn stood. "Shinedawn! Where have you been?"

    
    Owlina was watching the group below, her lavender eyes stretched wide as she surveyed the clearing. Surprisingly, the eyes on her hats weren't on her this time, but instead, each one was looking in a different direction. The massive oaks, the silver moonlight that bathed the otherworldly clearing in a glorious silver sheen, the familiar gray stone that broke from the earth like a huge fang...it all seemed familiar.

    For a moment she outstretched a paw, claws glinting, as she prepared to make a portal back to her home...but something stopped her. Instead she stared at the cats below her perch, fearful and amazed, just as she had been. Now she was terrified, racked with guilt that she had messed up somehow. There was a rocky salt ball in her throat tat wouldn't budge, no matter how many times she took a deep breath.

    Dramatic again.... The eyes on her hat focused on her and their narrowed pupils became narrowed and sharper. Owlina lifted a paw to wipe away the coming tears. Why am I like this...? She pushed her hat over her snow-white face, attempting to block out reality.

Sorrelvine was about to inform Shinedawn that Leapkit's whereabouts are unknown when a beige winged cat fell from the sky. Oh, this is surely a Star guardian for sure! I am so going to get it now... aaaaand they have two eyes like every other cat here. I have to stop scaring myself.

Sorrelvine was surprised to see that the cat had not sustained any injuries from her fall. In fact, she seemed energized at the sight of Shinedawn, and he realized that the two likely came from the same skies. He noticed Shinedawn warming up, as if she didn't expect to see a familiar face tonight. After Shinedawn introduced him to the new cat — Sunnyflight, her name was — Sorrelvine nodded and watched the conversation unfold.

Hope you feel better Stargoon)

((Hope you feel better soon!))
