"Go now. Be as distracting as possible...given you say Twolegs worship you, it shouldn't be that hard." She walked to the back, where Rosina was waiting.
"Rosina! Jump down from the porch, Cosmo's off at the front door. I decided to use him in the plan." Rosin nodded skeptically and jumped off the porch and under it, where the two got mud patches on them to make them look like feral cats more. Susanna pulled at the dark blue, glittery collar while Rosina pulled in the other direction, and soon a little black clasp on it snapped in tho and the night-sky-blue collar was flung into a watery mud puddle, where it sunk. Then they crawled out from below the porch and up the tree, Susanna silently hoping Cosmo was getting the Twolegs' attention still.

[ Yeah, the sun is going down, if not entirely gone by now. Okay no worries, because I thought he was just doing it with one paw. ]

"We have no need to rely on that antiquated house cat system" Storm explained rather gruffly. Simply stated, "A true rogue has no need for a servant. That is something only a house cat has. We have no use for them, they are considered a crutch." It wasn't a hostile comment, more like an open discussion on the considerably outdated practice. It wasn't quite patronizing, because Rabbit was a grown tom and could stop the abuse himself. "At least you can fend for yourself a little bit. Slightly better off than a house cat, you are."

Cosmo hissed at the Twolegs before running off and out of the yard. He hoped they had already gotten out, because he wasn't going back to distract them! He let out a sigh of relief as the two were out. "Well then. Not just a wimp housecoat now am I?" Cosmos eyes widened as he saw how out of place her fur was from running, and quickly licked some of it down.

"Storm? Who is this Storm character?" Cosmi asked curiously. "Is he one of the city filth?" He still hadn't really comprehended what going on the journey would mean for him, and that those cats he so despises for being filth, he would become one.

"Storm is the cat who's leading the Journey," explained Susanna. "Have you been living under a rock?- Well, technically, you were, given you're a house cat."


"Rumors?" asked Giovanni, his claws unsheathing and his tail bristling. "What rumors?" He stopped and mumbled to himself. "If Rabbit started them I swear I will kill that rat-brained cat..."

"The rumor's I've heard around the city." Storm didn't bother to elaborate more than that. He just chuckled again and stood up, towering over Giovanni and Rabbit. "There are many who are quite angry with you, and even more who pity you. It is.. amusing to find their assessments of your character correct." He paused for a moment, "Well, again, it's been interesting. But I do believe I need to be heading to the Abandoned Twoleg nest now. The moon is high and I need to address those who'll be going on the journey tonight. But first–" Storm raised his voice to a shout, "Mitzi, if you can hear me, come to the Abandoned Twoleg Nest later tonight! We'll all be meeting there." He then tilted his head to Giovanni and Rabbit and started to pad off at an even pace, in case the toms were to go with him.

Cosmo hissed angrily under his breath and ran after the two she cats. "I knew that. I was simply waiting to see if you would correct my mistake. It was all a test you see." All of this was a complete lie, but he hopes they would at least pretend to believe him.

Cosmo was pleased she accepted it and continued walking with his tail held high. "How far is this meeting place exactly? We dont want to waste a perfectly fine evening traveling onto the other half of the city!" He exclaimed.

Cosmo was a bit skeptical about the name of the location but said nothing. He couldn't bear to have the city scum look down on him, so he must become like one of them. "Good, though it wouldn't be terrible if the walk was longer." More lies, Cosmo normally doesnt walk too far in a day, long walks would really mess him up.

"Alright then," said Susanna. "I guess you'd be fine going there, it's only across the city anyway."

[ Strong! Hey! You left so I had to do something with Shadow ]

(I think we should actually put him in with the tacky collar and everything.I actually made the collar up for explanation on why Scourge's collar is described as so many colors)

Giovanni, on the other hand, only thought of Storm as an old stickler getting in the way of his fun game. Could the big gray cat ever take anything as a joke, or was he always serious? Giovanni scoffed at the cat. Even though Storm was trying to set himself up as a leader, to Giovanni he was making himself look like a fool. Given all the quarreling among the group, Storm would soon be deposed in favor of chaos..or at least that's how Giovanni predicted it. Nothing ever would last with so many cats wanting to kill each other. To Giovanni, it was just another day, but Storm seemed to not enjoy violence. The glee he would have when Storm's plan backfired!

"Now thats just quite rude dont you think. We 'cat show weirdos' as you so simply put it, have been purebred from hundred of years, my entire linage on record. Its quite amazing, and frankly when your entire family has won the London Cat Show at least once, you are expected to be a pure and regal cat. You dont exactly keep the sane standards."

[ Hmm. I'm gonna have Jagged show up a the meeting. He's not on the roster because I've decided he's not going on the journey. He's showing up tonight at this gathering for the express purpose of causing trouble and Storm is gonna shut it down, hard. ]
