CRUNCHYKIT
​ i am hungry​

its cold outside. its always been since its been alive, but somehow it gets colder, seeping right into their bones like some uncomfortable feeling that never goes away, a warning or something worse. a promise. but the kit is far too naive and unaware of the dangers of the world to care. its muzzle scrunches, tail swishing back and forth before it begins to hop, until a sneeze makes it tumble forward and fall right into its belly. a frown momentarily fixes on its face before it rubs its nose and gets up, eyes find movement in the corner of its vision. its head tilts and irs body follows with it, falling over once more but not moving this time.

"whats thaaaat? swish swish. such an odd fluffy... it wants the fully. we should get the fluffy, yes yes. fluuuuffy looks... chewy."

she grunts as she pushes over, completing the tumble and getting in her fit, slowly moving as if she cannot be seen. she tries to remain quiet before she leaps, grabbing swishing fur in her paws, claws remaining in. she wasn't good at using those... not like her teeth. her gaze is steady before– chomp!

"nmff vrry ffewey aaff lll! frry... ffffur oouuu oo fiiif wuirls."

it huffs with a mouth filled with fur but it does not let go, and likely won't until its made to.

[OWLBARK]

Owlbark finds himself lost in thought these days. Leafbare was showing itself more and more in the lack of daylight growing and the frost lingering longer on the blades of grass. Food was going to be harder to find, but the amount of mouths to feed kept growing. He did not want to cross territories, but if it meant not starving then it was a possibility. He thought of Rowanfeather and her herb storage and if Serpentberry would have known how much to prep and if she shared that knowledge with-

He tried to move his tail out of the way instinctively at a quick nip, but found it latched between bee stinger sharp teeth. Owlbark turned his head slowly to look down at a kit. He had not kept up with their current inventory of youngsters - it felt impossible to - and the name of this one slipped his mind. Green eyes narrowed in appraisal of the tiny scrap of fur. "Are you hungry?"

It's an honest question, and he can't tell what the kit is saying with his tail in its mouth. Something about squirrels. What else would a kit chew on a tail for if not for food? If he was needed to grab more prey for the nursery, he would.

ooc: sorry for the mobile post!

 

[Blizzardblaze]

The bicolor tom had put himself to work making some adjustments to a nearby den - tinkering with the shrubbery, carefully weaving vegetation to create as tight and as wind- and waterproof a barrier as he could. The ravine they had chosen for their camp did a good job of keeping the worst of the leaf-bare wind from tearing through their coats, but inclement weather was still a reality of day-to-day life, and Blizzardblaze knew it was among his responsibilities as a ThunderClanner who cared about his Clanmates and particularly as a forager to made their homes as weatherproof as possible. The mutterings of a kit had drawn his attention, and he straightened up from pulling a bramble through a small gap to watch. A grin spread across his face as he watched Crunchykit take down her prey, seeming to puncture their deputy's train of thought along with his tail. It was good to see a kit playing, causing mischief - it meant they had the energy to do so, after all, despite the cold weather. And such play was important for a later career as a warrior, too - practicing one's pounces and whatnot.

"Better watch out, Owlbark. I think you're in her clutches now." Blizzardblaze said with a purr at the edge of his words, stretching his small body to its fullest extent before ambling towards the scene of the great attack. He bent and tried to make eye contact with Crunchykit, curious to see how it would response to the deputy's question. Was she, in fact, hungry? Did she think she could eat Owlbark? "Nice catch, little one. You'll keep all our bellies full with pounces like that, I'm sure of it." He cast his pale eyes toward Owlbark before adding, conspiratorially, "Though I don't think he'd taste very good. I prefer mice, myself."

 

[Dawnpaw's icon Dawnpaw Dawnpaw]

Dawnkit​

status: amused​

She watches like she always watches. Though this time she holds vines in her paws and loops them over and over. Reinforcement for the nursery wall her mother had said. She sees where Crunchykit heads and locks in on the event like a hawk to a mouse. Her paws still and her focus lasers in on Owlbarks moving tail. She snorts when the kit pounces and bites the deputy's furry tail. She flicks an ear and turns back to the vines, digging her teeth in as she rises to her feet.

Dawnkit turns to the nursery wall behind her and listens as Blizzardblaze speaks up. She listens to his words as her focus is put towards making sure the vines she's been messing with are situated right in the wall. An ear tilts back to hear better. "There's not a lotta meat in his tail anyway." The tail of any creature, in her experience, is the worst part of the meal. She only eats them if she's desperate. To little meat, little to no flavor.

and every step i choose to take begins to set the world aflame
