Dead RP

The kits are gonna be so cute! omg the only thing I can think about is their birth being a really big thing for the Clan and there's like this ceremony about it and everything and either Skystar or Cinderspeckle crushes the berries and gives them their rank marking and omg))

The black tom simply shrugged. "No, not yet." He closed his eyes, "I don't know, I just feel like something is going to happen." He shook his head and snorted, "But, what do I know? I'm just a blind 'old geaser'" He purred, and playfully nudged Hollowmask. 

Cinderspeckle leapt to his paws, and nodded to Blacknose. "Go to her, I'll be there soon, I need to grab the herbs." He bounded into his den, sniffing through the herbs. He quickly found the borage leaves and the stick and made his way to Laurelleaf. 

I approve of this 100% cx))

Skystar glanced over at Geckoeyes, flicking the tip of her tail in greeting as a purr of amusement rumbled in her throat. "You can let Otterstrike know that he may take a patrol out to the Oasis this evening," She told him, looking amused at the fact that Otterstrike hadn't come to ask her himself. Her gaze followed Geckoeyes' over to the group of cats gathering by the nursery, and a warm purr rumbled in her throat. She'd always loved kits, even if she had none of her own (and given her position, she doubted that she'd ever have any), and the thought of having new ones in the Clan excited her greatly. "Yes, it looks as if our Clan will have some new members by the end of tonight. I highly encourage you to go hunt to prepare for the feast at dawn; in fact, I'll come with you, and we can round up some others as well. Perhaps we can bring Daisypaw along to keep her busy, as it looks like her mentor will be rather busy for a while."

(Hi guys! I'm so sorry I've been really off and on, I've been travelling. I'll be much more consistent now!)

Laurelleaf grasped at Blacknose's paw, "B-Blacknose, just calm down, Cinderspeckle knows what h-he's doing, I need you to go get me some m-moss, ok?" She couldn't bare to see her gentle mate be so terrified. Maybe a walk would calm him down. 
Once the big tom had lumbered out of the den, Laurelleaf gave a yowl of pain as her body spasmed and shook. "Cinderspeckle? A-are they going to b-be okay? I'm getting older and I'm s-so scared they won't s-survive." Laurelleaf stuttered and clawed at the dusty ground, trying to get a grip on herself and wrap her head around the situation. It all felt so unreal. Like a bad dream, no, a good dream. She was going to be a mother! A real mother this time, she was going to raise them as her own and teach them the was of the world. She was overjoyed. Laurelleaf slipped in and out of a haze of utter pain, but she knew that it was normal. If Blacknose saw her now, he'd panic for sure. 

Viperpaw, mouth full of reeds, looked to Otterstrike wilth a bewildered look on her face. "Foxes?" The tip of her white tail flicked from side to side like it usually did when she was irritated. She knew that the russet colored predators had been lurking around the Oasis for a while, but she had never heeded the warning with extreme caution. Picking up the rest of her pile of leaves, she hurried after Otterstrike. Afternoon sun shined on her pale colored coat and the sand was warm beneath her paws. Admittedly, Viperpaw hadn't expected the tom to be the one watching in on her and was secretly embarrassed that she wasn't able to discern his scent. She had never been very good with tracking and keeping up with individual scents, but luckily her stealthy hunting skills made up for it.

Blacknose, still very anxious, skidded for the den and immediately began to search for some moss. It felt good finally being told something to do. He would find Laurelleaf the best moss! The softest and the coolest droplets of oasis water! Feeling very much determined, the tom lifted his chin and marched off into the distance.

[ Geez. I keep typing Viperfang and catching myself last minute!]

Viperpaw's ears flattened against her head. She didn't like being lectured by most cats, even if she was the youngest cadet in the Clan. Still, she wasn't a clueless kit. Viperpaw had recognized the dangers of the desert at a young age and knew not to act recklessly. "I didn't see anyone accompanying Hareleap earlier today." She sniffed, looking straight ahead. The sand-colored she-cat had passed by the older soldier before arriving at the Oasis. She had figured that if were okay alone it would be fine enough to gather a quick few soft bedding.

"Well, I don't think he-" Viperpaw's words sunk to a halt when she heard the cries of foxes in the distance. Maybe it was best to just keep her thoughts to herself. She remained silent the whole way, reeds clamped tightly in her mouth. When the pair entered through the camp's foliage she headed straight for the nursery, surprised to find that Laurelleaf was in the process of kitting. Well, it wasn't a complete surprise, anyway. The queen had been visibly swollen for well over a moon and Viperpaw knew it wouldn't be long before the new additions joined the clan. Thistles.. She cursed, setting the bundle down outside the den. Now she would be expected to do twice the work with those monotonous tasks. Fetch some bedding! Clean Geckoeye's nest! She didn't like those cadet duties. If it weren't obvious enough. On a more positive note though, at least she wouldn't be the youngest cat in the clan anymore. That was enough to keep her satisfied.
Viperpaw's fur fluffed up from the approaching night. She didn't know how long Laurelleaf's kitting would last and all she could think about was curling up in the hollow log as soon as possible. Viperpaw left her reeds outside the nursery and grabbed a lizard out of pile. (Lizards were her favorite) The cadet settled down a ways off in a patch of small foliage, snuggling up. She watched as night approached, a deep blend of beautiful desert colors. Even with all the dangers and harsh yellow heats that the territory offered, sometimes she was truly left in awe.


 Blacknose sat stiff outside the nursery, glued to his spot. The tom didn't know if he was allowed to go in but he had decided not to move around anxiously anymore, because that had only worried him further. A swath of wildflowers and shrub were secured tightly in his mouth. He hadn't been able to find any moss and- admittedly, he had gotten sidetracked. The flowers had looked so alluring and comfortable that he was almost positive that his mate would love them- or, he hoped anyway. Then, hearing Laurelleaf in pain made him nearly bolt from his spot, worry showing in his green eyes. Rabbit-dung! Blacknose couldn't help himself, he lifted from his spot and hurried in the nursery. "Laurelleaf! Is everything okay? I-I couldn't get what you asked- well, I could've but.. I saw these flowers and StarClan did they look amazing- Especially with the sunset, I mean, honestly you should've-" Realizing he was blabbering, the tom nuzzled his mate's head with his. He was very glad to be by her side again, even if it was just for a little bit.

{Hello, and most likely.}

[Okay! Sounds like it will be fun, fights are usually pretty riveting in my opinion. ))

{Welcome! I will add your character to the ranks. We're in a bit of a lull at the moment, seeing as there's only a few of us. You're welcome to post your opener, though! My cat Swallowsong is open, Otterstrike is getting ready to put a patrol together to check out the Oasis, and Geckoeyes, Skystar, Daisypaw, and Pumpkinseed are going on a hunting patrol to gather food for the kitting celebration. The time is right around sunset.}
