(sorry for vanishing had to visit my grandma she just got back from the hospital yesterday)
Shadowfire purred and sped up, she was fast but she wasn't great with sharp turns. She would more then likely fly above the islands, she was a very fast plummeter.
Viperfang narrowed his eyes and as he came face to face with an island he fell into free fall, once he got below it he let the wind catch his large wings, pulling him back up again.

Sagestar continued on his way. He could guess at what strategies his clanmates would choose. Even if Shadowfire was a good diver, she'd still need to land on the branch. With a few more flaps of his wings, he rose a bit and sped up.

Shadowfire squeaked as she overshot her dive and flew past the island, she spread out her wings to catch the wind but she had fallen quite a ways and she groaned and gave a large flap before hurrying to fly back up.
Viperfang rose while positioning himself so that he could land on the branch while maintaining his speed. He turned his gaze to Sagestar and noticed how good the leader was at flying. Viperfang's ears went back against the wind and he focused on his own position.

Sagestar watched in amusement as Shadowfire missed her mark. As they approached, he slowed a bit and landed on the branch, letting it sway a bit before closing his wings. His long claws clung to the soft bark. It was a popular meeting spot. "That was a good exercise." He purred.
(these big cats can purr because I want them to be able to xD)

Viperfang landed gracefully on the branch he had chosen and he shook himself, waiting for Shadowfire to return. She flew over and landed with ease, shaking herself to get any leaves from her fur "I would say so, I can't believe I missed." The she-cat licked a forepaw and ran it over her ear.

"I can." Sagestar flicked his tail. "You dove too early. You should have slowed a bit and then gone for it so you could be sure of where you were headed." He settled his ruffled feathers. "A little bit more to the left and your angle would have been perfect."

(Let them purr, let us know how content they areeee. And let us run an errand~!)
Aspenfur yowls in surprise, wings flapping and smacking against Dragonscale, "Hey! Hey now!" he gawks up at the cat on top of him in shock, "Dragonscale, you can't-You nearly- my heart, Dragonscale!-I thought I was being attacked!?" he splutters in alarm for a few moments. Once he finally feels his beating heart calm in his chest, he coughs "Ah- right- uh. Good morning, Dragonscale, going to get off of me now that you've given me such an awful fright?"

"I don't know." Dragonscale purred. "You make for a nice pillow." He did climb off though. "Come on, sleepyhead. Talongrasp has errands for us to run." He flapped his wings a bit as he headed towards the shaman's nest. Their herbs were kept on the island and tucked away under rocks and in crevices. Although they didn't need them often, when they did require them they required a lot due to their large size.

Iceflight padded over to Talongrasp, she didn't have anything else to do so she thought she would do an errand for the shaman. She looked to her side and saw Dragonscale and Aspenfur heading for the shaman too. She padded closer to the two so she could talk. "You both doing a errand for the shaman?" She flapped her wings in excitement, she would finally do something helpful for the clan!

Talongrasp smiled at the young excitable cat- it was always good to see fresh faces that were full of light. Iceflight's excitement to do such a medial task brightened her day and made her feel a bit better.
"I'll need you all to head to the Maidenhair tree and pluck me some of the leaves that grow off it- but not too many. Those trees have been dwindling in number for as long as I can remember, and if we pick too much off it the spirit may not be able to recover. Just enough that each of you can carry in your mouth should be fine" she rasped, sitting at the edge of her rocky perch.
She'd heard some of the sky warriors going for a flight, and if they went too low she knew they may get a bit of altitude sickness. It wasn't very common, but dipping into lower lands and then coming back up could make a cat sick, so she decided she'd better stock up on the leaves while the tree was in peak season.
"If you feel like it I might have a couple other herbs to gather, always feel free to stop by my den if you little kitties get bored!" she meowed, which was funny, considering how old and small she was.
(Talongrasp is such a grandma. She's exactly the kind of old lady to invite you over to bake you cookies, read your palm and then teach you about the benefits of going nonGMO and using essential oils LOL)

Iceflight already loved this old she cat. She stretched her wings to get ready for the flight. "Sure! I'll be back soon! Oh, and I would love to get those other herbs for you!" She pranced off to go get the herbs. She loved making friends and helping others in the clan.

Talongrasp let out a mrrow of laughter at her and turned to the other two sky warriors.
"Oh, and would one of you two grab me some of the fruit as well? Just make sure you don't eat it raw, or you'll be very unhappy" she added, although it was mostly a precaution. She knew the warriors likely wouldn't want to eat the fruit- it smelled like something a warrior had eaten and regurgitated up again then left in the sun to dry.
But, the stinky flesh aside, the nuts within the fruit could be dried and served other benefits, and she wouldn't mind having a few around.
"Thanks again!" she meowed, and dipped back into her den to count up her stores.

Iceflight returned to camp with a small wad of maidenhair leaves in her mouth. She padded over to Talongrasp and dropped the leaves gently at her feet "There you are, four maidenhair leaves! That was enough right? If I need to get more I'll go get some right away!"

((Just got off work! ill be free the rest of the night.))
Dragonstep => Honeypaw
"Ha ha ha." He spoke with emphasis, before returning with a genuine, hearty chuckle. Dragonstep flicked his own tail back in return though with more dramatic effect as the heavy nature of his fur splashed over the neos face. "Food it is." he nodded in agreement. "Im thinking we stay on one of the smaller islands, we arent ready to encounter larger prey with just the two of us yet." Stretching out long blackened wings, Dragonstep flapped them a few times carefully to test the wind and its strength, nodding back down to Honeypaw with a glint of amusement still residing in his eyes. "Are you ready?"
Peachheart (Open)
Hours had already passed since Peachheart woke and stretched her wings for the first time. She had groomed in the morning and flown off in pursuit of a quiet breakfast before nesting herself in one of the tall trees of a distant island. She didnt sleep much, and was often up and out early before dawn. With the sun rising she rested contently against dark folliage, per pale pelt catching the sun and shining from a distance. The molly would stay like this until she was warmed and groomed once more before returning to the camp in hope of direction or some communication. Occasionally, (though it was rare) others would join her knowing this was a usual spot to find her.

Dragonscale nodded and spread his wings, taking off at the drop point. He knew what he was looking for, but feeling pretty lazy he decided to take a few detours. Glancing down, he spotted a familiar she-cat. He landed near Peachheart. "And what are you hiding from?" He teased slightly.

"Mmm." She purred, a light smile on the shecats face while she remain idle, eyes yet closed. "Nosy toms, breaking the silence." Peachheart twitched her whiskers, tail flicking against his leg in returned jest. Her eyes blinked open and pupils dilated to the newfound light. "Just.. enjoying the light I suppose. What are you off doing today?"

"Well..I should be fetching leaves and fruit, but I figured I could do a bit of relaxing before then." Dragonscale shrugged. He did intend to run the errand...eventually that is. "And I wouldn't exactly call it nosy to ask how a clanmate is doing." He flicked his tail.

"Of course." She nodded back to him. "You will have to forgive me im not used to company this early." Peachhearts jaws opened wide top on the addition of a long, breathy, yawn. When she was finished her gaze turned a little more stern. "You are of course welcome to join me.. But you really should be on task." Peachheart thought on it and hoped there would still be some work left for her upon returning to camp. The easy days their clan has had as of recent have admitably been dull and only hunting and patrols seemed to space apart the last few moons drudgery. "What exactly is it for anyway?"

"Ah, Talongrasp sent Aspenfur, Iceflight, and I on an herb hunting errand." Dragonscale stretched out. "Maidenhair leaves. And some fruit too, although by now Iceflight has probably gotten some of one." He didn't find much wrong with liking to be alone. Normally he wasn't out of his nest for a while, but apparently Sagestar had wanted him up. Although he wasn't entirely sure why since the big Alpha had been gone when he was forced out of his cozy nest. "Want to come with? We can see how they're doing." The tree didn't seed very often, but when it did it was crucial they help any new plants grow. It was really the only cure for altitude sickness and Celestials knew how often Neos got it. If not administered, they would be whining about headaches and stomachaches for ages. The weaker ones wouldn't be able to eat, either, which was the big reason for it. Skyclan cats needed to eat a pretty big amount.

Again there was a nod. It sounded like an important job and if Peachheart was being honest with herself she had not been doing enough as of recently to keep herself in a pique condition.
"Yes." She responded in absolute. "I suppose it will mean laying aside this crucial bit of sunning but something tells me the tree will not be taking off anytime soon." Peachheart stood steady, small paws balancing delicately on the edge of her tree limb while she padded forward towards its end. Her wings unfolded slowly and bathed in the breeze that buffered her feathers. "Shall we?"

Dragonscale nodded. Although the floating islands did move, it wasn't a great deal. It took time before the changes were very noticeable, but it wasn't a big deal. It only became important when the prey started moving or if one island collided into their camp island. Spreading his wings, Dragonscale took a jump off the island and let the winds carry him upwards. He glided a bit before finally heading towards the destination.

Talongrasp flashed a toothy grin and nodded at Iceflight
"Yes yes, with everyone out getting some I'm sure four will be fine for your share. They are pretty big after all" she meowed, then flicked her tail at the she-cat. "Bring those inside for me won't you dear? This old cat doesn't get around to much flying anymore and it sure would make life easier for me if you hopped a few more steps."
She padded softy into the den, her worn furry paws sounding like soft bristles sweeping the dirty earth below her. The den, although mostly shaded by tall grass and rocky outcroppings, had an open feeling to it. The herbs were arranged in a smoother portion of the cliffside, as if hundreds of years of paws had etched in shelving, and a small bit of water trickled down off the edge of the adjacent cliffside. There were a few large nests with easy access to get in injured cats, and one which was partially sunk into a shallow dip in the earth, which belonged to Talongrasp.
She sat down near the opening of it and flicked her ears, waiting for Iceflight to wander in behind her.

(This will be my last post for the evening, Im off work tomorrow though so ill be around!)
Shifting her weight, Peachheart gripped her claws into the bark, gaining momentum while she bounced the branch up and down before finally launching up and diving down into an angled glide. Her speed gathered and Peachheart adjusted again, cutting through the wind and swooping back up under her clanmate. When she came up the shecats tabby pelt brushed Dragonscale's hanging limbs and she tossed back a grin to taunt before beating her wings again and pushing ahead into the general direction his travel pointed. This was a rare bit of play edged out with Peachearts competitive nature and desire to show off what skill she possessed. The air was full of energy and so was she.

(I have added MODs to the RP member's section blizzardsfang and Cinnamon Roll basically they can do anything I can but kick someone out and approve major plot points. I trust their judgement and, among other things, I will rely on them to accept cats (including their own), help people jump on into the RP, if there's a surge of activity that I'm not on for and they are, tell me what happened, and settle disputes (hopefully that won't be needed though). So...yippee xD If either of you don't want it, that's perfectly fine. Lol. But in the hopes this RP survives I figured I'd name you guys early on) |

Dragonscale couldn't help but grin. It was interesting. He beat his wings a bit hard to push air down on her. Then, he tilted forward a bit to speed up. The island wasn't too far away, so it would be a short race. But it also meant they could have a bit of fun showing off.
(Can do. Night :3)

Iceflight nodded and padded in behind Talongrasp and gently set the herbs in a neat pile, making sure it was perfect. Everything had to be perfect! Iceflight looked up at Talongrasp, she looked so peaceful, just sitting there. She knew then that they were going to be good friends. "Ok, anything else shaman?" Iceflight was willing to do whatever the old shaman asked her. |

Honeypaw intently watches her mentor has he goes about the motions of getting ready for flight, she hurriedly copies before she bounces forward a few quick steps and takes off, "I'm ready, Dragonscale let's go before all the prey gets tired and hides!" She swoops around him impatiently.
Aspenfur had followed after Iceflight and Dragonscale for a while- it seemed that Dragonscale became a bit..distracted. So, he continues his path forward until he can find the fruit that Dragonscale had told him they needed.
He could grab just one..that'd be easy to carry in his mouth, or... He lands on the end of a branch and hesitates.
Break it off? Bring back a few extra? That'd be good- less trips for himself, more for Talongrasp right now?
Carefully he bounces on the branch, getting a bit nervous as it began to crack- it breaks from underneath him and he lets out a startled hiss as he crashes down.
"Just my rotten luck-" he grumbles to himself as he collects the branch in his mouth and makes a slow trip back to the den. "Talongrasp?" Aspenfur calls out, voice muffled by his stick.

"Well, let's see here.." she started, hoping to provide Iceflight with a few more tasks before the cat lost interest, but she was quickly interrupted by Aspenfur, who pushed awkwardly into the den with the branch.
"Wha- I.. Aspenfur! What are you doing?!" she cried out, moving forward to meet the cat
"Are you daft, mousebrain?! What did I say before I sent you out? These trees are rare and decreasing in numbers- I sent you out to get fruit and leaves not to kill off one of the only sources of this rare supply we have!"
Her fur prickled up on edge and she looked ready to spit, her nose wrinkled in a snarl. But she took a minute to compose herself, turning her face away from Aspenfur. She would not be trusting this particular warrior with any errands of any difficulty in the future, and she kicked herself once more for not having any cats to take over as her apprentice.
"That will be all. Thank you for your effort Aspenfur" she rumbled, her forced politeness overshadowed by her obvious disappointment.
"Iceflight, will you please bring that branch over to me so I can start picking the fruit and leaves off of it? I'll need to use as much of this piece as I can, otherwise it will be a terrible waste..."
