His excitement knows no bounds... those there is much necessary wariness in the figures of his seniors, Pipitpaw only views this as a chance to expand the darkened edges of his mental map. A new expanse to explore and beg to be brought back to until he was old enough to wander out here on his lonesome (though... he realizes as he prances along, he could definitely just retrace his steps later and it would be fine!).

They are on a very important mission to scrounge up some options for food- the dark furred feline isn't immune to way the scarcity makes the edges of his belly sore with hunger. Still, he refuses to let it drag down his high spirits and hunger for adventure. He turns to look at his clan-mates with a toothy grin, unbothered by the change in scents and the way this place rumbles in quiet threat.

"We're gonna come back with some good stuff, trust me!" Best to turn the sour glowers on their faces into something a little brighter right? Improving morale would improve their odds! They round a corner, with the chocolate-dusted apprentice charging ahead with reckless abandon and stumble upon a weird pile of well-enough smelling pellets. Everyone else seems hesitant but the growl of his stomach says the smell is worth trusting. He licks his lips, opening his jaws wide and taking a greedy mouthful, chewing through the crunchiness- is that what eating bones felt like? He never had bothered to try it before... this is far dustier on the back end as he struggles to swallow it down.

He turns to his clan-mates, some of whom look stunned by his thoughtless decision to try to strange substance without a second thought. "C'mon I know you guys are hungry too! Come take a bite, I promise it's not that bad!"

Ooc- pipitpaw (and flaxbelly) will be leading a patrol of trappers into twolegplace. pipitpaw comes across a bounty of kittypet food, and tries to convince the rest that it isn't so bad after a brave bite. however, no one anticipates the ambush of some enraged stray cats who claim the food is theirs! the thread will be open to played stray cats, and also an NPC rogue played by the @ShadowClan account
 

Snowdropheart


Snowdropheart did not enjoy the smell of the twoleg place, the uneasiness that settled in her stomach. But she has been here before and has been successful in securing some prey. So why would today be any different?

She followed after Flaxbelly and Pipitpaw, ears lowered and eyes alert to any danger, the apprentice seemingly excited to be here. She supposed it made sense, for one so young to hunger for adventure, it wasn't like she was that much different a cycle of moons ago. And it wasn't like the twoleg place was constantly dangerous - it was just a territory with its own dangers and obstacles, but one could adapt to it...probably.

As they rounded a corner, Pipitpaw stopped in front of some... rabbit droppings? A little lighter and bigger, Snowdropheart would wonder what they are, were it not for Pipitpaw burying his face in the pellets. "Careful! You don't know if they're not...." poisonous, she was going to say, but the apprentice has already lifted his head, smiling at the patrol, inviting them to take a bite as well. "I, uhh...." she stammered. "What even is that?"

She wasn't sure she wanted to find out, if she was being honest. At best it was kittypet food, at worst it was a trap. Kittypet food she wouldn't mind, she has already stooped low enough with her own patrol - hunger sure does things to them they would not have dared otherwise. But she couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling washing over her pelt anyway. Snowdropheart sighed, her own stomach rumbling at the thought of food.
