(can I just say that I find it hilarious people take pity on Rabbit here when in the original opera Giovanni and Rabbit are based off of it was more like "obviously he's at fault let's go kill him")

Red scoffed. "And let you win? Of course not." Another round of snarling came on. "Im not stopping until im dead or you give in." Red declared. She stood her ground, and took a deep breath awaiting his next attack.
(head canon- giovanni pins red down and is about to kill her then Rabbit wakes up and freaking saves the day. what am i saying i just had that thought.)

Giovanni didn't take her seriously. "You're a strange cat. Always challenging every thing you see. Might as well give you up, I'm certain someone else can finish you off better than I ever could. Til we meet again, you fox-hearted scoundrel!" Giovanni picked up Rabbit, found a nearby bucket of water, and dumped it on him to wake him up. "What is it, Signore? Are we dead!?!"
"No, you idiot."
"Who died? You or Red?"
"NOBODY! I let her get away solely because someone else could easily finish her off. Now, as for you for not showing loyalty and not fighting for me..."
Rabbit tried to run off, only for Giovanni to pull him back and begun to maul the little servant. Rabbit gave up and let his master attack him. It wasn't like anything would change.

"Rabbit the only one who is gonna be dead is you. He will kill you because you didnt fight for him. You know it too. If you knew what was good for you, you would follow me back to Cutthroat Corner." Red offered. She didnt make offers like this lightly, as it was having this cat with her constantly. Red sat for a moment licking her wounds, waiting for an answer.
(it should happen eventually though. That wont be the last time Red and Giovanni fight, we can be sure of that.)

(it should though)
Rabbit shook his head. "I can't. I'll die if I do and die if I don't. Giovanni would kill me- OW! Giovanni, please can you be a BIT more gentle!- if I did. And besides, I don't know how to hunt to well or fight or swim. I'm useless that way."

"You'll learn." Red meowed simply. She wasnt going to beg for his company, and if he didnt want to come than so be it. "Last chance. Next time we meet it may not be as pleasant." She said, warningly. Red didnt know if she could bring herself to harm Rabbit, and probably couldn't. A memory flashed through her head to when they first met. She had said they would fight for each other, and he had said nothing. That had become one of her fondest memories, often reminiscing.

Rabbit looked up at Giovanni, who stared down at him. "You're staying with me, Rabbit. Or else I'll murder you in your sleep when I get the chance." He looked at her. "-I guess I can't. Too many risks."

Now Sirius was wandering around Maplewood Park. He was fretting and worrying because he'd visited Lady's house earlier that morning and there was still no sign of her. If she'd been there, the rain would have washed away whatever scent was there. Little did he know that she had escaped. For now though, he'd wander and hoped his house cat friend wasn't dead.
Lady was wandering the inner city now, having left the relative safety of the neighborhoods. Her neatly trimmed claws were out and scraped on the pavement, ready to defend herself. She'd been taking self defense lessons from Sirius before– well. Before. She felt relatively confident in her skills, she could fight well enough. But.. would it be enough, truly enough. Could she escape with her life if confronted. Oh how she needed to find Sirius, or Storm or anyone. Even those two despicable rogue males would be better company then being on her own. 'Keep calm, Lady. Keep calm. It wouldn't do to stress, it's not good for the kits,' She reminded herself as a shudder ran through her body.

Red felt crushed. She had assumed he would come, but evidently Giovanni was priority. "Have it your way, next time we meet you might not be so lucky. Im not offering again. You have fun staying with the scum. " Red snapped. She was frustrated, and what was supposed to be a calming walk had infuriated her even more. She ran out of the alley, throwing one last glance over her shoulder. Red wasnt looking where she was going, and felt an oof as she fell back. "Watch where your going you filth-" She sipped mid-sentence realizing it was Lady. "So you escaped?"

Giovanni finally let the beaten servant go. "I am glad you made the right decision, Rabbit. Now, follow me. We have work to do." Rabbit followed him, but he felt deep down that his decision wasn't right at all.

Lady scrambled backwards after she and Red collided. "I had to. They're– they were going to take my kits. I won't let them." Her tail curled around her belly, which showed no sign of pregnancy. Her body wouldn't show anything, not for a couple of weeks anyway. But she knew, Lady could feel the changes. After yesterday's panicked flight, she settled and took note of what felt.. off. "H-have you seen Sirius? I need his help. I need a place to hide, if my house folk find me–" She shuddered, big blue eyes falling to her paws. She was so tired, her shoulders sagged. Yes it was relieving to be collar free but now she didn't know where her next meal would come. She was hungry, she needed sustenance or her kits would die, she would die. The adrenaline she was running on was wearing off quickly and Lady just wanted to curl up and sleep somewhere, preferably for days. "I'm sorry, I'll get out of your way" Lifting her gaze she finally noticed the state Red was in.
"Are you alright? Do you need help?" Concern for this virtual stranger colored her words.

Red sighed. As much as she hated kitty pets, Sirius liked this one so she would help. "Im heading back to the Abandoned Twoleg nest. Sirius may be over there, if not he would be there shortly. Its where all the cats gather for the journey. Red explained. Her muscles ached from the fight with Giovanni, and she was still very aggravated about Rabbit. "Just a small scuffle. Its the usual." The shecat was obviously downplaying her injuries, and her shoulder was still bleeding. Red flashed Lady a weary smile in an attempt to be friendly, and started to walk forward.

[ x - - Ok, I think I can make that work. I'll have Jackdaw head over there to go look for some stuff or whatever. Don't think I can do anything about Azalea right now with heading over there. If anything, she'll need some coaxing first to finally abandon her home since she does still have some attachment to her owner, even if she doesn't want to admit it. cx
I'll make a starter post then. It might take a bit since I'm doing some other things also~

Giovanni and Rabbit eventually decided to go to the Abanonded Twoleg nest. Giovanni likes the idea of travel, even though Rabbit was content with being in the city. Susanna, on the other hand, was going to see if she could make sure Rosina could go on the Journey. Even though Giovanni was having Rabbit clean his wounds, he acted as if it was an average day and he hadn't just gotten into a fight. Susanna spotted them and rolled her eyes. She had heard about these two and she loathed them with burning fury.

"Alright then" Lady meowed softly, following with light steps. "I don't meant to be intrusive but– would you like me to take a look at your shoulder? I know that if we could find some cobwebs of sorts we could stop the bleeding." Common sense told her that would be the best option, she didn't know much else about healing. Perhaps... marigold? Yes. Marigold was for infection. She was sure that grew near the rose bushes by the Seashore Square entrance sign. There were a lot of pretty flowers in Seashore Square that could theoretically be used for good. Lavender was good to sniff if you have a headache, if her house folk's words had any truth. 'Thank goodness I listened to my twolegs talk once in a while,' Lady thought. The female twoleg she used to live with was a homeopathic healer, or whatever that meant. She liked plants and knew all sorts of ways to heal with them. As a result, Lady's home had a greenhouse attachment to the back and it led into the garden. Lady used to spend a lot of time there, listening to her house folk chatter to her patients about the wonders of herbs.
Of course, she didn't understand half of it. There was very little she actually picked up in those conversations, most of it sounded kind of outrageous at the time.

Red thought for a moment, and she decided it would only be polite to let her help. "That would be great." She said, secretly glad she had someone who was willing to help. "Thanks." The shecat meowed as an afterthought. The word felt foreign in her mouth, and it felt weak to say. Note to self, never thank another cat for their services. They should be thanking me for letting them help. As these thoughts passed through Red's head she realized how narcissistic is sounded. So much for being better than Giovanni. The two cats were more similar then Red liked to think, though she would never admit that out loud. "So how did you escape?" She asked, not caring if that was prying.

"My twolegs left the door into the greenhouse open, and they always leave the windows there open to let the plants have fresh air during summer. I snuck out that way during the storm last night." A simple explanation for what transpired the previous evening. Lady did not go into detail on how she got stuck in the window and took a few minutes to wiggle out, or how she went to Rosina's house to see if she could get her friend out, or how she tried to find Susanna to no avail or how it took her a good half hour to get out of her collar this morning. "We'll get the cobwebs in the place we're going to then. I'll fix you up there" Lady smiled warmly at Red, "I think if I can find some orange or yellow flowers, marigolds, then I can even keep the infection out of your scratches."

Red narrowed her eyes for a moment but nodded. "Lucky you got out." She stated simply. A thought popped into her head, as earlier she had mentioned something about kits. "You and Sirius must be very excited." The ginger shecat meowed, referring to her kits. Red envied Lady, in one way and one way only. She could find love so easily, and have a nice happy life. Red couldn't bring herself to trust other cats not to screw her over, a prime example of what just happened earlier. Her trust issues had grown, and Red probably wouldn't fully trust another cat for a long time. Red gave a small sigh but kept her head held high. Her body might be wounded, but she would never let her pride be wounded. "How did you learn so much about healing?" The rouge was surprised the kitrypet had much knowledge at all, and had doubted she would actually be helpful.

"Yes it was very lucky– Wait what? You think Sirius and I– oh dear no" Lady laughed, as in fully belly chortle. "No no no, we're just friends. I was taken to a breeder. Pedigree House cats, like myself, are often taken there so they can produce more pure bred kittens. That's how I was born after all, my mother hardly knew my father, and I certainly didn't know him." The ragdoll let out a snort, a bubble of anger at the thought of the system. She was compliant, because, well. She had quite liked the male she was paired with. If she was anymore naive, she'd have hoped that he would have come home with her and they could have raised their babies together, but she knew better. She knew the system better. Her litter was just one of countless other kittens he'd sired. "My litter's sire is named Harry." It was implied that she would never see him again, unless her twolegs decided to turn her into a breeder full time which was a horrifying prospect.
"My housefolk had a lot of plants she used for healing. I often had to listen to her prattle on about what herbs were for what and how to do things like set bones and keep infection out. A nutter that one, but she wasn't bad.. at least until she and her mate decided I should have kittens."

[ x - - Alrighty, here's my starter~
Jackdaw || Construction Zone
One would think a loner would spend most of their time standing guard over a little patch of alleyway they would call home. Sure, it was typical of most loners, but Jackdaw was one of the few exceptions. This collector was off on another one of his trips to search for some trinkets to add to his collection. This hobby, though it may seem odd, was one of the few things that kept the tom going, what gave him a little sanity in his life. True he could have become some sort of barbarian, killing for sport and pleasure. It was just that, that sort of thing didn't appeal to him. Besides, some of the trinkets he had collected over time were certainly pretty. Some of his prized possessions were bird feathers and beads, both he would normally find in the park. Today however, he wasn't in the park. Jackdaw was maneuvering his way through the construction zone, in search for any shiny material that caught his eye. Usually he had some luck finding some scraps of metal and other things. It wasn't often he went out here though. That being said that twolegs tended to come here a lot, using their gigantic monsters to carry various things or dig up craters in the earth. Luck was pretty much the main reason he would stop here, whenever twolegs weren't active here. Today was a day for that. Currently, the tom was resting under one of the giant monsters, his jet black pelt almost blending in the shade provided by the enormous machine.

Red walked in awkward silence for a moment. Maybe it would have been better not to assume. "You seemed close, apologies for that intrusion." Red muttered, a bit abashed. As Lady spoke of the system housecoat breeders have she resisted the urge to growl. The Twolegs had no right to do that to cats, just so they would have kittens. "Thats not morally correct." She growled, attempting to hide her displeasure at the thought. If kits were to be born, they deserved both of their parents, not just one or the other. Part of Red's upbringing caused her to become who she was today. Growing up without any rules made her reckless and bold, though she would often suffer from that. Thats the main reason Red vowed never to have kits, she wouldn't want a young cat to go through what she had gone through, and no toms would willingly stay with her romantically.
Red shuddered at the thought of Twolegs "I cent imagine how you lived with them. Twolegs are vile creatures." Red spat.

Grey eyes watched as the loner moved around, little paws stomping along as she followed. Annie was supposed to be practicing her pouncing, while Storm went hunting. But, she'd been restless back in the Shallows and made her way to the Construction Zone. "What are you doing?" Annie called out, head tilted as she sat perched atop of frozen monster. It was weird, the monsters were only active if the twolegs were riding in them. She felt kind of bad for the monsters, being controlled all the time must be hard work. Using the ledges on the feet of the monster, Annie made her way down to to the ground, her fur getting oil stains on the way. 'Dad's going to be pretty mad if I'm not clean by the time he gets home' she thought absentmindedly.
