We're all odd here~

[mikey]

Shadows swept across the ever so tall trees of the forest, the sun stretching high into the sky as it announced to the whole world that the morning was gone and, afternoon had arrived. High above the ground below, hidden safely within the trees of the forest sat a handsome tabby, his green eyes reflecting amusement within them as he stretched across a branch and watched the world below. This tabby had been frequenting this little area of the forest quite a lot lately, cleverly hidden far out of the sight of the odd little kitties that wandered below and, craftily placed next to an old birds best, so his scent would never be caught.

To Rowan, it felt as if he was taunting the odd "Clan cats" who thought they owned the forest, just merely by crossing their "borders" and making himself at home within "their" trees. These strange wild cats fascinated the handsome tom, because, while they truly thought they owned the forest, Rowan certainly knew they didn't. There was nothing they really could do to stop him from crossing into "their" territory, oh sure, they could run him off but, he'd come back, and back, and back, and back again until it was some sort of daily ritual to run him off.

Of course, they could always kill him too but, the old tom was quite to clever to ever let that happen.

Letting a chesire grin cross onto his face, the tom hummed a giddy little tune, his tail swaying back and forth as he awaited the arrival of a cat or, anything that would interest him. It didn't really matter, just as long as they cured his boredom.

[[ I hope it's okay I posted in Thunderclan territory.. xD;;; ]]

A little black caterpillar inched its way up a tree. About a tail-length from it, yellow-green eyes stared at it, completely mesmerized. "Hi, little guy," the cat mewed quietly. "We're so much alike, you know that? I mean, you're black and fuzzy, I'm black and fuzzy. You're up in this tree, and I'm up in this tree too. And we're both all alone." The large black cat continued muttering to herself for a few more heartbeats, then fell quiet, just observing. "The only differences are that you have six legs and lots of little nubs, nd taht I'm about a thousand times bigger than you," Periwinkle murmured, reaching out a paw. The caterpillar crawled on. If it would just stop moving, it would be completely unnoticable...

What did it matter if the loner was on so-called ThunderClan territory? She was on her daily bug watching expedition. High up in the trees it was unlikely they would catch her scent. And besides, ThunderClan cats weren't smart enough to climb them.

Periwinkle placed the caterpillar back on the trunk and walked to the end of her branch, prepared herself, and with a large leap, hopped into the next tree over, looking for something else. "Here, little buggies. Heeere, little buggies," the cat called in a quiet, sing-songy voice. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

Nameless padded through the pine forest, a medium sized leaf in his mouth. He tried his best to steer clear of the forest as the cats who claimed it as their own were fierce. Alas, sometimes one cannot help it. The forest was the best place to find the herbs and berries he used in his experiments. Therefore it was nearly impossible for him to never go into it.

"Do do do doot ba ba ba bo." he said randomly making up a beat as he walked. It eventually morphed into more humming then booping. He didn't make any stops to look at any of the herbs he passed, No, Today he was on a specific mission. He was trying to learn the ways that mushrooms could help medically. Well at least thats how it started out until he came across the effects of an interesting mushroom.

The way it made the mice and voles act entertained him and he wanted to find how it would affect a cat. Sadly, he had used up the ones he had on smaller creatures. So now here he was. He soon came across a bunch of the mushrooms clumped up at the base of a rather wide tree. He laid the leaf he had been carrying a little ways away from the clump and began breaking the mushroom stems and rolling them onto the leaf.

[OOC:// EET'S A MARIO!]

Finally, after much more tree-hopping, the black cat came across another bug. A wasp. Several wasps. Okay, well, it was a wasp nest. Same thing. Periwinkle readied herself for the leap into the tree in which the nest hung. It wasn't often that she came across any type of bee, especially wasps. The she-cat leapt into the tree. The black insects ignored her, and, without hesitation, Periwinkle made her way towards the nest.

Soon, she was close enough to observe the wasps. After sitting for a few minutes - completely absorbed in her task - a large black paaw reached out towards the nest. Periwinkle touched it, and it immediately wobbled. A swarm of wasps poured out of the nest. Periwinkle took one look and fled, hopping to the next tree over without even pausing to judge her distance. A wasp stung her in the shoulder. A couple more hops, a couple more stings.

Finally, the large black cat misjudged a jump, near a large tree, and fell, yowling, to the ground. Usually, there were limbs underneath her to catch her, but Periwinkle had been working her way closer to the ground. The branches seemed to grow closer together there. When she slipped, she was only bout ten feet from the ground.

With a screech of horror, Periwinkle hit the ground only a few tail-lengths from a cat. It wasn't the wasp stings that filled her with terror. No, it was simply touching the earth. It had been moons since she'd had all four paws on the ground. She was instantly searching for a new tree, the only comprehendable thought in her mind being I'm on the ground! I'm on the ground! I'M ON THE GROUND! GET ME OFF! In some distant corner of her mind, she noticed that the wasps had stopped following. But even though her immediate reaction was to find a tree, none of them had low enough branches to be able to jump or climb up to.

Desperate, the loner could think of only one thing left to do. She turned to the cat she'd landed near, who appeared to be gthering mushrooms, and yowled, "Get me off the ground!"

She hadn't talked to any real cat in several moons. It would seem tht Periwinkle was breaking many records today. She hopped up and down, trying to touch the ground as little as possible.

Time ticked away slowly and, as it seemed, Rowan didn't have to wait to long for cats to enter his line of sight. And as soon as these two cats entered his sight, the tom found his boredom was cured. The little she-cat he had seen seemed to have some sort of panic attack as she feel to the ground and, Rowan let out a soft little chuckled as he watched her dance on the ground below, screaming at the black and white tom to do something or another.

Tail swaying gently, a devilish little smile snuck onto the tabby's face as a little idea formed in his head and, with a low chuckle, the tom hauled himself to his paws.

What an interesting pair of cats he had found~

Jumping gracefully down from his little hide-away, the tom let an expression of horror fix itself upon his face, his eyes widening as he looked over the two. "Oh my,"[/b] He sounded genuinely worried for once, though if you knew him, you would know his expression and worry were all fake. His green eyes shifted to the black and white tom who had been messing with the mushrooms and, with a honey-sweet voice, Rowan addressed the tom.

"Do you know what's wrong?"[/size]

[peregrine]

Nameless was startled as any cat would be if another cat fell from the heavens. When he was startled he flung a mushroom several feet away and mentally cursed at himself for his clumsiness. He stared at the bouncing cat "Get you off the ground?" he asked finally tilting his head slightly. He looked down at the ground and pawed it a bit before looking back at the cat "Is it supposed to eat me or something?"

He was somewhat relived when another cat showed up. He wasn't quite sure how to deal with this cat who seemed to be imitating a rabbit for the most part and almost decided to just kill it to make it stop bouncing. That way he would have gotten something from it at the least. "I have no idea what is wrong with her." he answered.

He thought over all of his experiments to come up with and idea of what was wrong with the she-cat "She could have eaten a mushroom" he said pointing to his own little pile of mushrooms "Or maybe something else funny. It would explain why she fell from the sky."

[Kitty]

What was wrong with these cats? Didn't they know how bad the ground was? "Off, off, off the ground!" the black she-cat trilled at the top of ehr lungs. "I. Need. OFF!" Periwinkle glanced around quickly with wide, scared yellow eyes, and made the most obvious decision that she could to get off the ground. To her, anyway.

She jumped on the newcomer, the tabby that, too, had come down from a tree, flattening him to the ground. She sat there, on his back, a pleased smile creeping across her face. "Off the ground, I am off the ground," she mumbled to herself.

She sat up. "Mushrooms? Who eats mushrooms? I don't. Especially not during the day. Don't you know that eating anything during the day is bad?" The black cat rambled on a couple more heartbeats about how 'mushrooms are especially bad to eat' and how they are 'horrible for the daytime'. "No, I was being chased by my observation." she explained, using a voice that implied that this was something so obvious you should have seen it as if it were sitting onthe tip of your nose.

Periwinkle suddenly seemed to remember that she was perched on a cat. "Did I smush you?" she asked cheerfully, looking down at the tabby. It felt so nice to be talking to cats again...

[Kitty]

((Oooh, Kitty thinks zis board is dead. Time to say byebye, Periwinkle.))

She must have hurt him. Periwinkle could only come to this conclusion. So she prodded the tom she'd landed on a few more times. Then she waved her tail in farewell to the one that wasn't laying on the ground, the one that had been collecting mushrooms, and jumped onto some tree roots. She hopped from tree roots to tree root and, with a last yowled "Goodbye!" disappeared. She was on her way home, and to trees that were actually climbable.

[peregrine]

(Eck sorry. I was waiting for Mikey and then I got grounded.)
Nameless simply shook his head at the strange she-cat as it left. He glanced at the cat who had been trampled and nodded goodbye before grabbing his leaf bundle of mushrooms and leaving. He hadn't gotten much, but it was a bit of a weird outing so he decided to leave. He headed back to the hole for a den that he was currently calling home.
