12th of Sturgeon Moon(August 12th) | Sunrise | Open to whomever wants to join

The white small queen hopped up on a log and looked at the barn that the two-legs had built, she was a loner and so she preferred places where she could be by herself but she also realized that if that was impossible to avoid she would make do with what she had. She had no friends, but for now that suited her just fine as she knew she would never see them again and she didn't see much point in making friends right now anyway. She was fine with acquaintances anyway, not quite friends but not enemies either as she did not need to make those.

Her pale blue eyes stared through the dark barn doors as she examined the place, she saw a few hay-bales but not much else so walked right in and hopped up on the tallest bale and curled up to take a nice needed nap.

Flame | Queen | 28 Moons | Loner 

It was rare Flame ever venture this far from the forest, but every now and then the ginger she-cat liked to stretch out her legs on the moor. With greenleaf here at last and any remaining snow finally melted away she could race across the grassy plains to her heart’s content. A certain thrill rushed through her lithe body as she propelled herself faster and faster across the ground, finally forced to stop when the burning in her lungs demanded she take a rest. As she came skidding to a halt, Flame realized with some alarm she’d sprinted all the way to the Twoleg barn. 

Golden eyes immediately scanned the area for any possible dangers, but found nothing of concern. She glanced at the slightly ajar doors of the barn and after giving it some consideration headed towards them. The shaded building would offer her a place to cool off for a few minutes and potentially some fat mice for a nice meal before she left. Flame prowled inside cautiously, fresh cat scent thick in the air. Someone else was here. Her gaze settled on a pale-furred queen only a few paces ahead of her moments later. “Greetings,” she called politely, hoping she hadn't startled her.

Toturi - Queen - 12 Moons

Not many knew of her personality or her appearance which suited her just fine, being white kinda made it easy for other cats to notice her but that was few and between and she saw no point of telling any cat who she was unless they were decent and did not demand her name or anything else. But so far she had no problems with it, she just had fallen asleep when she smelled rather then heard a fresh cat smell and she stood up and looked down from the hay-bale to examine her.

The queen did not look like one who would pick a fight with her but she had learned that appearances can be deceiving, she laid down on the hay-bale and looked down to her with her paws crossed. "Ah, hello there. What brings you here?" She was curious as this queen did not look like she had come here too often, not that Totori had seen her at any rate.

Flame | Queen | 28 Moons | Loner 

As Flame waited for a response she examined the other queen closely. The younger cat had a solid white coat lacking any other color. She was small and light in frame. If the stranger proved unfriendly and it came to a fight Flame was certain they were evenly matched. She might be taller and just as slim, but Flame new better than to underestimate anyone she had never encountered before. Toturi’s shredded ear was proof enough she could handle herself.  

“I was out running on the moor. Needed a break and figured this was as good a place as any,” Flame replied truthfully. “Do you mind?” If the other queen refused her she would simply find somewhere else to rest, in no mood for a scuffle when her tired muscles just wanted to relax. “I promise I don’t plan on staying long.”

Totori - Queen - 12 Moons - Loner - No Mate

Toturi paused a moment as she examined the taller queen down below as she explained why she was there and had even seemed to care if she minded her staying, she did not sense any malice intent coming from her so there really was no reason for Toturi to deny her request and also she did seem tired and she would not send anyone away. She sighed and jumped down from her perch on the hay-bale and casually walked up to her.

"I don't mind if you stay," Toturi replied honestly. "You seem tired and this is as good a place as anywhere else, plus we can hide if any two-legs come round." At least for this moment she hadn't seen any of them come in so that was good, they often captured cats and took them away in their monsters so they would have to be cautious. "You can sleep up here with me if you want, but there are other places to sleep too."

Flame | Queen | 28 Moons | Loner 

Flame waited patiently as the white queen considered her options, watching her leap down from the hay bale and land neaty a mouselength or so away. “Thank you,” she replied with a polite dip of the head. “I appreciate your hospitality.” Other strays weren’t always friendly. It was nice to meet someone who didn’t want to immediately try clawing her face off. 

The offer to sleep atop the hay bale beside her caught the ginger cat a bit off-guard and it showed on her face, but she recovered quickly enough. “I appreciate that, but I prefer sleeping alone,” she explained, hoping she wouldn’t come across as rude. “I’ll likely sleep up in the loft. It’s nice up there and the twolegs tend not to notice.”

"Doc" | Tom | 31 moons | Loner

Doc sat atop a hill, surrounded by heather and mostly hidden from view. It had been a quiet day so far, and nothing had happened yet. He took note of a butterfly, yellow with black markings, land on the heather beside him and contemplated gently pawing at it when, all of a sudden, the sound of flattening grasses caught his attention. Down the hill was an orange cat racing across the moor, looking like a flame catching swiftly through the brush. It had been a long time since Doc had talked to another cat, and though he feared showing his illness, he decided to follow. It had grown far too lonely on the sloping hills for him not to try to catch up to her.

The cat was quick, though. Doc found himself struggling to reach her, and paused a moment to catch his breath. He wondered if she were part WindClan, but he reminded himself that those were just stories, as much as he wished they were real. By the time he regained his composure, he couldn’t see her anymore, and took to scenting for her. The soft breeze made it a bit difficult to pinpoint exactly where the cat had gone, but once he found her trail that she ran through, it was easier to read the signs of the broken stems of grass and flattened foliage. As he grew closer to the barn, her scent strengthened, and he could tell she was a she-cat. The smell of another she-cat also came to him, and he hoped they were friendly.

Doc took a second to groom his chest before carefully poking his head inside the red barn. “Hello?” he meowed, green eyes gazing around the barn and finally landing on the two she-cats he had scented. One was the fiery orange tabby he had seen sprinting across the moor, while the other one was stark white and stood out just as much in the dim light of the barn. “Ah, howdy there. I hope I didn’t startle or disturb you.”

Totori - Queen - 12 Moons - Loner - No Mate

Her blue eyes glanced over the other queen once more listening as she told her that she preferred to sleep alone which was fine with her, she just thought she would be nice but they had just met so perhaps that was the reason for the denial. She nodded her agreement and twitched her tail a bit. “That’s fine, I just thought I’d offer. I am the same way sometimes.”

She caught in rare scent in the air and looked towards the entrance of the barn and noticed an orangish looking cat watching them, she listened as he said hello and apologized and she shook her head slowly. “No, I have pretty good smell so you didn’t catch me off guard. My name is Toturi and you are?”

She didn’t mind new-comers as long as she knew who they were and what they were doing here but she also did not want to appear rude.

Flame | Queen | 28 Moons | Loner  

Flame nodded in thanks for her understanding, preparing to make her way over to the closest set of hay bails and make her way up to the loft when a new scent reached her nose and she turned just in time to spot a large golden tabby poking his head around the entrance. She paused, unsure if the cat was truly friendly despite his harmless greeting, remaining close to Toturi as the newcomer fully entered. She wasn’t as eager to give out her name as the white queen and kept her mouth firmly closed as she waited to see what he would do next. Flame tended to trust toms a little less than fellow she-cats, her father and at one time her brother being the exceptions. Until she was certain he wasn't a threat she would be wary. 

((I am so sorry this is this short. It’s kinda embarrassing, but I have no muse lately and I'm not sure how to fix that. Hoping by the time it's my turn again I'll be out of this funk.))

"Doc" | Tom | 31 moons | Loner

Doc was relieved to hear that he hadn’t startled these two fine ladies. That must mean that they’re wild, he thought, since most house cats couldn’t be bothered to notice if he was right beside them, much less a few tail-lengths away. The white she-cat mentioning her name reminded him that he hadn’t yet introduced himself, so he lowered his front legs in a bow, keeping his eyes on them. He had seen this done by one of his former owner’s clients that was from another country. “I am Malone,” he meowed, still bowed, “but most call me ‘Doc.’ It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

(( OOC: Looks like my muse isn't quite up to par either, Silent. xD; ))

Totori - Queen - 12 Moons - Loner - No Mate

Totori grew silent as she watched the tom give a bow and introduce himself and she nodded her head to him, she had been waiting for her new friend Flame to introduce herself but she was silent which wasn't something she had been expecting but she didn't mind, not many cats would be so open about introducing themselves but it didn't bother her any. She was going to be quite open about everything as she was new here and not planning on staying forever, perhaps for a few nights and then she would move on to new places. "It is a pleasure to meet you Malone, do you live here by any chance?"

[ Flame ] 

Queen | 28 Moons | Loner

As the golden tabby greeted them with an odd gesture an expression of amusement passed over Flame's face. Maybe he wasn't much of a threat after all. "Pleasure meeting you Doc. What brings you here?" She inquired after Totori. His scent spoke of heather and grass, suggesting he had come from the moorland just like her. This had the ginger queen's eyes narrowing as her suspicions rose. Had he followed her here? 

"Are you new to the area?" She continued in her questioning. His unique coloring and looks seemed more akin to a kittypet than a wild cat, but she couldn't sense any Twoleg smells on him. Where had this cat come from? Her wariness was quickly shifting into curiosity and she was somewhat discomforted by this urge to know more about the stranger.

"Doc" | Tom | 31 moons | Loner

The two she-cats questioned him, which didn’t surprise him any. What did surprise him was that the flame-colored cat still hadn’t introduced herself, but perhaps she had simply forgotten in her curiosity of him. He decided he’d simply wait until someone mentioned her name and pick it up then. For now, he’d just go along with what was happening.

“I live on the moor, yes, but not in this barn. There’s another one on the other side that I usually stay in,” he explained. “Today I was just sitting on top of a hill and noticed a cat come into this barn, and thought I’d check it out. It’s been a while since I’ve seen other cats. I guess the other side of the moor just doesn’t get the same traffic that this one does.”

Now that he had finished answering those questions, the orange tabby brought up a new one: was he new to the area? For that one, he had to think. How many moons had he been on the moor? “I believe I’ve been out here nine moons now. Yeah, that sounds about right. That’s when my upwalker left me here.” Doc nodded, sure that was how long he had been out here.

Totori - Queen - 12 Moons - Loner - No Mate 


Totori listened as the male told them what he was doing here and where he uslly stayed, she hadn't thought there was another barn nearby but she hadn't thought about the two-legs expanding but what did she expect from them? They loved to destroy and build their own place on top of it. She nodded to the male and then looked at Flame curiously as she hadn't yet introduced herself but evidently she did not feel like revealing here name quite yet which was quite fine with Totori. "Well it is a pleasure t meet you Doc, if you would like to stay here tonight I wouldn't mind." She spoke quietly but loud enough that he could hear her, she just wondered what Flame would think of her offering this tom a place to stay.

[ Flame ] 

Queen | 28 Moons | Loner

"And by a cat, you mean me, don't you?" Flame prompted. Her suspicions were more or less confirmed regardless of what his answer might be. The accusation was delivered in an calm, even tone. She wasn't interested in starting a fight and so far the tom had proven non-hostile. However, she wanted him to know she wasn't any fool and if he tried a stunt like that again she might not be as friendly. The sharp glint in her eyes gave that away well enough so she felt no need to verbalize it. Perhaps Flame was being a bit unfair to poor Doc, but he wouldn't be the first cat to try creeping up on her with nefarious intentions in mind.

"Nine moons? That's quite a long time," Flame observed, siting back on her haunches, her long tail wrapping around her paws. Another assumption confirmed. He was a former kittypet. Why had his Upwalker abandoned him? It felt rude to ask so she kept that question to herself. "You've done well for youself," she added, noting he was in fairly good condition for being a cat once used to being pampered and cared for by one of the furless beasts that resided in the Twolegplace. Totori's offer to Doc to stay the night had her glancing at the white queen in surprise, but she likely shouldn't have expected different considering the same offer was extended to her.
