[ Izumi | Chiryoushi Lair ]
Albeit inly pleased by the reverential epithet, the feminine did nothing to evince it. In lieu of this deficit of emotion, the comely molly resumed her peruse apropos the superfluity of therapeutic verdure.
Aegeans soon inspissated emblematically as she enumerated the agglomeration within mere moments. Notwithstanding of this cognizance, the feline’s cranium skewed, finally inspecting her tyro with a shrewd stare.
“And do we, Tarou-kun?”
Though she already savvied the answer to her own query, she was intrigued if the juvenile masculine had yet arrived to parallel her own conclusion; whether or not they had to amass any more annuals.
[Thank you Moon! I feel a lot better today, I just hope what's left is the aftermath and not a subdued continuation... Also, I've been meaning to ask you, but does SakuraClan have a different herb list ^^? Just curious since I don't want to be using marigold when it's suppose to be something else!] |

( Ah, I'm so glad to hear that! ^u^ Yeah, I know the feeling; I'm currently recovering from a not-so-recent cold. ;0; )
( Hmm, that's a good question. :0
Well, not exactly. However, despite the listed herbs being the ones prominently used, they have some of the same herbs you'd find in the books! They have burdock root, catmint, cobwebs, coltsfoot, feverfew, goldenrod, honey, juniper berries, lavender, tansy, and yarrow. )
Tarou | Tags; Izumi | Healer's Den
Upon hearkening his sensei's inquiry, Tarou took this moment to ruminate on her instantaneous query. His answer was most likely not any more divergent; he was upon the illation that they really didn't need to cumulate much today. His head ascended as he reached a valid conclusion for an answer. "Well, ma'am, I do not believe we need many annuals today." For such a young cat, his level tonality and use of words was very intellectual and mature for his ripe age. He always took delicate care to speak like an adult around his sensei, but perhaps he got ahead of himself sometimes.
"But...perhaps we can look for more goldenrod and lavender. We don't have much flora in stock."

Hatsumomo | Minarai | Hanako, Akira, Kotone, Ao, & Akane
Hearing Hanako's voice call out her adorable nickname momentarily took away Hatsumomo's sour expression as she turned to see who called her. Gracefully, the vain she-cat brought herself to her feet and her nose turned slightly upward as she headed toward the other Minarai. Hanako noticed her pretty rapidly, so Momo-chan would go easy on her. The pretty she-cat sat down with a still-pouty face. "It was about time you called me over." |

❀ Cat's Name - Hikari
❀ Rank - Samurai
❀ Age - 22
❀ Description - Hikari is an agile Silver Bengal with blue-green eyes, she has the usual 'M' like marking on her forehead, and her rosettes are similar to that of a leopard. She has a nick out of the base of her left ear, and a few thin scars on the top of her front paws. Her claws are a bit longer than most, though it does stand out that much, a trait shared with her Father. Hikari appears harmless, with her slim build and sleek fur, but she is a bit stronger than she appears.
❀ Personality - Hikari is fairly gentle, keeping to herself a lot, and is always struggling to stay as respectful as possible. She is usually quite happy, though not to the extent of being hyper. Though her name refers to 'light', she is rather self-conscious always feeling as though she's overstepped boundaries. She doesn't like violence, but when pushed to her limit, will fight for what she believes in (verbally or physically). Due to this, she sticks to Hunting, and regardless of her white pelt is skilled at remaining hidden while hunting. She has a personal code, boundaries she won't cross, things she will not do, and stay to it as well as the Bushido code at all times.
❀ Crush/Mate - None Currently
❀ Other - She fears large fires, and also thunderstorms (she's actually fond of the rain) due to her fear of the loud noises of lightning and thunder. Her father is Minori, who i will be editing in shortly.
❀ Cat's Name -
Katsuro
❀ Rank - Chief Samurai
❀ Age - 45 (i dont know, hes the father of a 22 year old, so i figured this would do)
❀ Description - Katsuro is a Bengal who is very dark, with a red-brown base coloring and dark patterns, with vivid green eyes. He has abnormally large paws, thanks to his extra toes, each holding a long claw. He is muscular, causing him to be just a bit stockier than the average Bengal, with smaller markings that contrast from that of his Daughter.
❀ Personality - Katsuro is level-headed, and is calm in most situations, much more so than years ago. He once felt outcasted by his over-sized paws, but now uses them as a skill,and treats them like a blessing given to him to do his part to protect and care for his clan. He tries to keep a close bond to his daughter, though he remains proffessional with her, treating her like any Samurai of her age. Katsuro can be quite stern, and can have the impression of someone you may want to avoid, though he truly is rather kind with a soft spot for kits. However, he feels as though thrown into an awkward panic when around people who are crying, and typically avoids the more emotional sorts of cats because of it.
❀ Crush/Mate - Deceased Mate is Miku
❀ Other - He twitches his tail tip a lot, and is Polydactyl (i did some research, from what i've seen, it's possible).
Edit - all finished! ))

[ Izumi | Chiryoushi Lair ]
Establishing a finicky repose, the grimalkin’s whipcord of a tail corkscrewed about her well-sculpted paws. Labial crease effectuated an enigmatic quirk at the tyro’s feedback, though it expeditiously transitioned back to its wonted, linear tautness.
A barely pronounced declivity of her slender capitulum was the sole indicator of an admission, praise progressing unvoiced; as was expected given her taciturn temperament. Though having situated herself just moments prior, the molly assumed an upright stance in an unaccompanied, limber motion.
Once the surmised altercation of being sedentary was executed, she administered her treads in the direction of the entryway. And, not ceasing aforementioned gait, she uttered a single ordain.
“Come.”
This austere tonality connoted an edit to be implemented; simply put, this was no request.
[Alright! That clears a lot of things up for me <3! I was so worried I was going to do something wrong if I used one of the book herbs ^^;;; ] |

( My school starts September 28... xD. I am deeply sorry to those of you that have school already, I'm used to school starting at the beginning of September myself. On the bright side, doesn't that mean it ends earlier?
Also, I think I'm going to hold off on a minarai reply until more of the minarai players like Sakubi reply ^^ )
Rin | Tagging: Kai and Hayakawa
"Sure!" Rin piped up peppily, padding after the two she-cats with an extra bounce in her already enthusiastic step. The little molly couldn't help it, though - hunting and patrolling always came off as fun and adventurous to her, and she was definitely ready to have some fun today! Especially in the company of Kai and Hayakawa, who she decided she quite liked already. After all, the she-cat thrived off of having friends and fun and it wouldn't have been the same had she been alone. "Kai-san, Hayakawa-san, I was wondering if either of you wanted anyone else to accompany us, though? The more paws, the merrier, right? We could invite one of the minarai or something! Or maybe Kamui-san. He doesn't seem overly busy. I mean, it's fine if you two don't want to of course," she suggested enthusiastically after remembering her inward promise to herself earlier to ask about the minarai coming along. The calico she-cat cast a quick glance at the silver and white samurai, and then at the crowd of minarai in the clearing as she spoke. The minarai didn't seem to be doing much besides gossiping amongst themselves, so she figured inviting some of them along couldn't be such a bad thing if her companions and they were all up for it. Besides, maybe she or her new friends would be chosen as a sensei to one of the young cats! It wouldn't be a bad thing to befriend them now. In truth, though, she mostly enjoyed the thought of Kotone, Akane, or Hanako's company - all three seemed pretty friendly and nice and she was sure she'd get along with them. As opposed to them, though... Ao was too distant for her liking and she was never sure what to make of or how to handle the hot-headed but sensitive Akira or, in her opinion, the fairly vain Hatsumomo. Still, it was all up to Kai and Hayakawa - after all, Rin didn't want to impose on them since the hunting trip and tree-climbing was essentially their idea.

Tarou | Tags; Izumi | Healer's Den
Wordlessly, the tyro lowered his head in a declivity of unneeded respect. Refraining from any other inessential utterances of deferential wording, Tarou followed his sensei with a comportment mannerism al fresco.
He suddenly became cognizant of himself suddenly staring into her eyes, perusing deeply into them as if attempting to gather any kind of emotion he possibly could. After all, eyes were always the windows to the soul. But it was beyond question that proved futile, as the only "emotion" he could find was nary a single glimmer, shade, or twinkle. Commiserating, Tarou was sorely disappointed.
He understood that Izumi was a and immensely perspicacious cat...but the mere fact that smiles - even fractional ones - were rare of her concerned him. Sure, he always tried to be as serious and industrious as she when around her, but it felt...forced to him. He smiled every single day. Couldn't she open up just a little?
The two grimalkins were, almost instantly, surrounded by pink petals from nearby copses. Having a strong affinity for cherry blossoms, Tarou made an essay to keep his awe hidden, as he was in his mentor's presence now.
The sun was about three-fourths across the sky; it wouldn't be long before late morning came upon them.
Kaihime & Hayakawa | Tags; Rin, Hanako, Hatsumomo, Akira, Kotone, Ao, & Akane | Camp Entrance
At Rin's suggestion, Kai's smiled faded just slightly, but not enough to look like she was disappointed, which she wasn't, really. She seemed a bit uncertain, as having too many cats on the trip might make it a hassle. But she got the notion that really Rin wanted to socialize, since she'd already made two friends. She was probably already happy with the little group that they had at the moment, but Kai felt as if she should be a bit generous and make some more 'friends', even if they were measly apprentices whom she had no intention of talking with. Well...maybe just a couple cats wouldn't hurt.
The Ragdoll turned to the two female and meowed a brisk: "I'll be right back." As she made her way to the clearing, she noticed that most of the young kits were sitting around, conversing - no, wait, gossiping, rather - about...samurai? A sideways smile made it's way to her face. These little onmes were so egar to be the warriors whom they so looked up to. Clearing her gullet, she looked down at the furry cluster and meowed a salutation. "Hello, little ones. Um, would any of you like the go hunting with us?"
Hanako | Tags; Hatsumomo, Kaihime | Clearing
She was about to reply an apology to Hatsumomo, but Kaihime had impeded on her. Blinking up at the older female, she listened as the samurai suggested a hunt. Immediately, she scrambled to her paws, eyes sparkling like stars. A hunt was something that she had wanted to do for months, and now, here came a big opportunity. Of course, she seized it! "Ooh, yes, Kai-san! I would!"

Kenshin | Entrance
Kenshin padded into the camp, walking through the red torii gate that marked the entrance to the Sakuraclan camp. After being out hunting for a while, he had returned with a small rabbit, which he went to drop off for another to eat.

Rin | Tagging: Kai, Hayakawa"Yay! This is going to be so fun~!" Rin mewed excitedly as she watched her fellow samurai and new friend make her way to where most of the minarai were clustered together. Evidently, the Japanese Bobtail had failed to notice her companion's smile fade slightly, so she came to the conclusion that the molly had no qualms about more company. She had worried a bit that she was hurting Kai and Hayakawa's feelings by asking for more company, since the plan to go hunting and tree-climbing was originally for just the three of them, and she would have been fine with just their company if the idea was uncomfortable to them, but she was quite happy that the duo seemed to be open-minded about it. The young minarai could learn a thing or two from the experienced Kai and Hayakawa, after all. Although if all the minarai wanted to come along all of a sudden, it could get overly crowded... she was sure they could all work something out though! They could all have a tree-climbing competition too! Though, to be frank, Rin was quite sure that either Kai or Hayakawa would dominate in that sort of contest since they seemed so familiar with heights. Still, it sounded like great fun and it would be good practice. Truly, the she-cat really only looked at the positives of things. Watching from where she stood with Hayakawa by the torii gate, she looked at the minarai earnestly with wide eyes, as if willing them to want to go with some sort of mental message.Akira | Tagging: Kai, Hanako, Ao, Akane, Kotone, Hatsumomo
Having been waiting attentively for the other minarai's opinions on senseis - he was quite sure his opinion was easily the best, but it didn't hurt to be more open-minded -, the only indication that Akira had taken notice of Hatsumomo's presence was his blue gaze briefly turning towards her before resting once again on the others. He never knew how to deal with the pretty minarai - she always seemed petty and vain to him, and he had zero patience for that kind of attitude. Sure, he could make the effort to converse with her, but he knew he'd get too fired up too easily - he always did, after all -, and he was certain the conversation wouldn't go anywhere meaningful. At least, that was his opinion. Still, he preferred getting along with his comrades despite his short fuse and while normally he would have said something scathing immediately about her pout and saying that they should have called her over sooner, he held his tongue respectfully. Besides, it would ruin the interesting discussion they were having if he argued with anyone now! The tom finally looked away when a samurai, Kai, approached them. Although Akira definitely respected the samurai - how could he not? -, he bristled immediately at her initial comment, going on the defensive. "I'm not little at all!" he proclaimed hot-headedly, before adding apologetically, "My apologies, Kai-san, but I don't like being called little. It makes me feel... small." In truth, he actually was small physically and he was pretty young too, but it wasn't as if he was ever going to admit that. At the samurai's next few words, the Angora's bright blue eyes widened in happy surprise. A hunting trip? That sounded like a perfect chance to hone his hunting skills! Especially if he was going to be with more experienced samurai that could give him advice... so long as they didn't criticize him. "I'll come too!" he piped up quickly after Hanako.

[ Sorry this is so late. ]
Kotone with [ Ao, Akane, Akira, Hatsumomo, Hanako, and Kai ] // Clearing
As the fluffy molly listened to the answers of her fellow minarai, she nodded slowly. It was more common for chief samurai to mentor a minarai as far as she knew, but if she had to pick among the younger samurai... the Angora began to zone out as she tried to think of all the ones she knew. Rukia-san seemed a bit too... intimidating, and so did Daisuke-san for that matter. Perhaps Kai-san would make a good mentor...? Hayakawa-san was definitely too formal, and Ruri-san too shy... at the mention of Rin-san's name though, the she-cat's ears pricked. They were rather similar in terms of personality, what with Rin-san's optimism. Perhaps she would make a good mentor. Just as her jaw dropped open to voice her opinion on who she would like as a mentor, Hanako called Hatsumomo over. Kotone looked Momo up and down, flicking her tail. She hardly knew the other apprentice, other than knowing she took a certain amount of pride in her pretty appearance. Not that that was a bad thing of course, considering Kotone did the same thing, but she just personally felt the molly was too vain and self-centered for her own good. For that reason, the idea of befriending her had never crossed the white-and-tortoiseshell's mind.
When Kai-san came over, Kotone's eyes shined at her offer. Hunting? That sounded like a great start to an otherwise lazy morning, though it had been made more fun with the company of her fellow minarai. Seeing the she-cat had come from Hayakawa and Rin only made her grin widen even further. It would be a perfect chance to learn from the three more experienced samurai, besides she'd been thinking of how they would do as her mentor only moments before. "Oh that sounds like fun! I'd love to come Kai-san!" she accepted quickly, looking up at the taller she with shining eyes as if hunting was the best thing in the world to ever happen to her. After all, Kotone had boundless energy to spare and it would be great fun to get out into the territory with her clan mates.
Ruri with [ Arata, Daisuke, and Rukia ] // Clearing
At Daisuke's morning greeting to her brother, Ruri turned her head to spot Kamui not too far off sitting alone. She dipped her head at her brother a bit shyly before turning her attention back to the three cats she was with. Although her stomach rumbled a bit, much to her embarrassment as she felt her fur heat up, the bobtail made no move to eat as she watched Arata dining on a larger-than-average rabbit. Even though instinct told her to eat, she figured she could wait until later... perhaps after the daily hunt.
A small smile flitted onto the shy she's face at Arata's words. "That's true, but it's all worth it in the end," she pointed out. On the final day of the festival, after all, SakuraClan's camp looked more beautiful than ever and it would be a great day to spend with friends and family as they celebrated the gods. Still, she had to admit that Arata was right in that it was indeed a lot of work for the samurai and minarai. For a brief moment, Ruri wondered what it was like for queens to decorate the camp. It had been a long time since she'd done it, as a kit, that she could hardly remember what it was like. At Daisuke's words, her ears pricked and although she found the exchange humorous, her smile turned uneasy. They wouldn't get into an argument in the middle of camp... right?
"M-maybe we can go hunting together today?" she suggested a bit more shyly in an attempt to change the subject and prevent another argument. It was always more fun to perform the duty with others, after all, and besides it might do the two frenemies some good to go out into the territory for some hunting. Still though, Ruri was pretty shy about it. She wasn't used to hanging out with toms other than her brother, and it was a small relief that Rukia was nearby with them.

❀ Cat's name - Mizuki
❀ Rank - Minarai
❀ Age - 12
❀ Description - Mizuki is a fairly smaller sized spotted bengal cat, but don't be mistaken by her smaller size. Being a spotted Bengal, Mizuki's coat is extremely thick and soft with light beige brown arrows decorating her creamy white fur with her stomach bearing more of the darker beige arrows. Her long tail tapers down to a darker brown point and her legs are striped horizontally. Mizuki's eyes are bright pools of light blue and almond shaped rimmed with black. Being slightly smaller than her breed is known for she has been slightly more built for speed, despite her thick coat which could add some more bulk to the lithe she-cat she prides herself on what speed she has to offer.
❀ Personality - Mizuki is a clear-headed and brilliant young minarai who tries her very best every day. She is friendly and cheerful, always being curious and not worrying much about things. She usually tries to raise the spirits of others, making her the mood maker of the clan. However, Mizuki can also be very stubborn and rather proud, causing the young apprentice to be quite confident in her abilities, to a fault and the only nice thing about that is that she bounces back quickly when things don't work her way.
❀ Crush/Mate - Mizuki currently has no crush nor a mate
❀ Other - Mizuki has been told by her father that ever since she was a kitten she had a habit of stumbling outside to look up at the stats, which is a habit that has stuck with her ever since. Also Mizuki has a terrifying fear of rushing water why she is is something that she has never revealed.
(( I'm working on her father, but it's currently 5:23am so haha ;v; I hope Mizuki is okay if there's anything I need to change I'll gladly change it ^^

( NOTICE: Oh, and another thing; I noticed a couple of things that might deter us from continuing the plot.
The first problem I found was with the apprentices. None of them, even those who are 12 - 14, don't have mentors (besides Tarou). They're all talking about who will be their future sensei, but even the older apprentices don't have teachers. I am quite sure that no cat would grow to be a samurai without a someone teaching them how.
So those of you who have minarai who are 12 to 14 years of age need to pick a samurai/chief samurai whom you'd like to be your cat's mentor. Cats who are 10 - 11 years old will not earn a mentor until they are at least 12. The minarai age 1 year every 2 weeks. If this seems confusing, just think of the years as cat months. After Kai, Hayakawa & Rin finish their hunting trip, I'll have Akiko run a quick apprentice ceremony for them.
The next thing I need to address is the plot. I understand that the RP is moving very slowly and is quite boring at the moment, but I will let you all set the pace since I'm still trying to figure out how this is going to play out.
As most of you all know, the Cherry Blossom Festival is to take place in three days, with the Oda Clan attacking on the fourth day (the morning of the festival). It seems simple, but I've planned out the events, and I want your opinions on the matter.
The first day (occurring in-RP right now) is going to move very slowly. Besides minarai being assigned sensei and becoming a samurai, it doesn't have anything going on besides chatting apprentices and hunting cats. There's nothing wrong with that, but by the second day, I expect more activity from the cats. Perhaps a there is a stronger enemy scent on the border, or even a dead warrior found nearby will spice it up a bit.
I expect the third day to be activity-packed. There will be a Gathering at midnight, where all 8 clans will gather in a secluded area of the forest. There, the Blood Moon phenomenon will occur, which will mark the ill omen. On the day of the festival, the red moon will still be in the sky, and that's when Nobunaga's cats will attack SakuraClan. Besides that, I'm all ears for plot ideas.
None of you did anything wrong, so please don't think I'm scolding you or anything. I just wanted to get this out beforehand. c: )
