The three Muskapurrs, [SpottedxSpeckledxDusk]

[RiiRii]

[bg=d9d1d5][atrb=width,400,true][atrb=border,0,true] As much as it pained her heart, the speckled she-cat had to leave her mate to go on patrol. Her brother had told her it would be a good idea to leave her mates side and hang with some she-cats of her own gender for once and so she did. Twitching her ears, she sat down near the lake and brushed her tongue over her fur before looking around and dipping her tail in the water, enjoying the cold liquid lap against her tail. Slowly moving her tail out the water, she watched as both Dusk and Spotted walked through. She had left ahead of time and now she was walking towards them, lowering her head in case they were mad. She was never brought up around she-cats in general, she shied away when her mother died back when she was a 'paw and she mainly hid around her brother. Now it was time to hang with she-cats. “Sorry I left earlier.” She meowed, sitting down and then tilting her head. time to confront my fear gladly. It was patrol time and she was ready to be in. Even without Mottletail with her. “So, where to?” “speaking color.”

The tortoiseshell's fluffy tail waved impatiently over the grass. She longed to start the patrol herself but Speckledfur was the leader, said miss stick-up-her-butt, a.k.a Jaegerstar. That hag can't prove anything, she grumbled to herself. Even if it's true. Well, I guess goody miss two paws leading us can't be too bad. I hope. I wish Bignose were here, she thought wistfully, her damp breath fogging the air slightly as it was chilly. "You're the leader, Speckledfur. Unless you'd care to hand over your duty, to which I would not object, it's up to you." She said callously. She wasn't in a particularly good mood today, and while she didn't really give two craps whether the she-cat was on time or not, it gave her someone to vent at. Well, considering who else I have with me this should be entertaining, she mused to herself, casting a sidelong glance at Spottednose beside her. The ditzy she-cat was freaking hilarious. A 'tard', as Hawkstorm might say. They'd passed their final assessment together and while she couldn't claim to know the calico overly well they'd been denmates for moons and the moody warrior was at least accustomed to her mannerisms. Speckledfur though? The poor cat was on her own. OOC: Experimental comment thingie below I stole from Dakki. Gonna be testing it out. words;; 207 notes;; Yeah...Dusk can be a jerk-bomb sometimes. xD She's also moody as a woman on her period. music;; perhaps High School Never Ends would be appropriate? /bricked [bg=ede9cb][atrb=width,469,true] [atrb=border,0,true]

Spottednose followed happily behind the other two, and halted when they did. Waiting for whatever decisions they were going to make she, looked around. Boy, the lake sure looked amazing! She would be so tempted to go and take a dip, if it wasn't for the whole patrol thingy. Oh well, they would still have a lot of fun patrolling! So far it seemed the other two were just talking about their assigned roles. What use was that? Jaegerstar had been pretty clear that Speckledfur was gonna lead the patrol. Eh, Duskstorm always acted like this. And when she said "this", she meant questioning things. "Oh, hiya Speckledfur! Haven't seen you that much! What's been going on? How's Mottletail? I bet he's really nice! Ya know, since you're always with him! In fact, I don't think I've ever seen you without him! He must be really great!" she cheerfully gabbed away, unaware of the tension between the other two she-cats. But once she looked past to Duskstorm and the annoyed look on her face, she figured something was up with her. Spottednose herself didn't really understand Duskstorm's problem with stuff that Jaegerstar told them to do. She was leader, and Duskstorm wasn't. Besides, even if sometimes their leader got grouchy, she still was pretty nice(poor little Spottednose finds something nice about anyone, regardless of if they've ever actually treated her decently or not)! "But Jaegerstar assigned her to the head of the patrol! Wouldn't that be breaking the Code because it was her order's?" Though really did try her hardest, and she did everything in the name of her Clan, it was amazing how oblivious she was to her surroundings. Cats had told her she needed to be more aware, and she didn't have the slightest idea as to what they meant. Aware of what? She wasn't blind! She saw everything! The trees, the grass, other cats. And sure, maybe cats stared at her when she commented on something(that she didn't realize what she'd said when she said it), but that didn't mean she wasn't aware! Or maybe they meant something else? "Well, either way, I'm glad it's you guys on patrol! Last time I was with Bignose and she told me 'shut yer trap, all you do is blabber and nobody don't care for it!' Why would she say that? Nobody's ever told me that before! I don't think she likes me too much, but I dunno why." [bg=fefcfd][atrb=width,469,true] [atrb=border,0,true]

[bg=d9d1d5][atrb=width,400,true][atrb=border,0,true] Watching both the she-cats, Speckledfur slowly took steps back and stopped near a tree when she was bombarded with questions by her all-so-spotted friend, Spottednose. “Hello Spottednose, Mottletail is fine, I'm casually with him or my brother, I love him and I want to be around him all the time, so that's why he's so great."the she-cat let out a sigh of relief when Spottednose had finally stopped bombing her and had now turned her attention to other she-cat. Talking about Jaegarstars patrol setting, Speckledfurs ear twitch with embarrassment, she guessed Duskstorm had a hot temper and Spottednose was the kind of cat who could set one off with the opening of her mouth. “It's okay, Duskstorm can take lead if she wants....” I'd rather stay on her good side. She walked towards the stream, dipping her tail in and moving it around once again. Listening to Spottednose then carry on about bignose. She could tell why Bignose would get mad at Spottednose, the she-cat just didn't know when to shut up! "We're a hunting patrol, not a border patrol so let's hunt...” She quickly meowed, flicking her tail slightly. “speaking color.”

Priceless. Simply priceless. Her mood shifted as the fluffy calico spouted delightful nonsense, her orange eyes showing a slightly mischievous cast as she grinned with beige fangs. What her ditzy companion spoke of was true; one of the reasons Duskstorm held some disdain for Speckledfur was her ridiculous attachment to that tom Mottletail. Honestly, she thought, how can any self-respecting she-cat be that devoted to some random tom? It's disgusting. And luckily derpface served the useful purpose of dispensing pleasantries. When Spots so kindly brought up the slight flaw in Duskstorm's ambitions, the skinny warrior just looked at her in amusement. As if she even knew what she was talking about. "Don't fret, Spots. We can sort it out." She then struggled mightily to restrain a snort but a small portion of it escaped. Her ears flicked in smug amusement and a tiny bit of...wistfulness?...as her companion spoke of Bignose. "Ah, don't worry about Bignose. She's a fine lady, just gets a bit exasperated by someone of your energy. S'no one's fault." Said the tortoiseshell lazily. Then she felt like throwing up as Speckledfur went all syrupy-sweet about Mottletail and privately rolled her eyes. "May I ask WHY he's so great as to make you follow him around like a trained kit?" You do realize how utterly stupid you look, right? Were the words she barely refrained from adding. Wow. Not just ridiculously sentimental but spineless too. Brilliant combination. Half amused, half annoyed at the she-cat's lack of willpower, she nevertheless briskly took the lead. "Yeah, hunting might be a good idea." Saying so, she cast her gaze out at the still lake-like area. It would be good pickings, for sure, but it was also very marshy and riddled with holes. Even she didn't know exactly where all of them were. But being wishy-washy would get nothing done. All right then, she thought to herself, let's see how Chuckles and Spineless take it. "We'll split up into the marsh-lake and search for prey. When you get a piece, make your way back to this spot. If you get in trouble, yowl and we'll come to help. If both of us get in trouble at once, then whoever's not goes back to fetch help. Do me a favor and try not to injure yourself. Any questions?" Her orange-flecked black tail swished back and forth, as she was eager to go. --- words;; 399 notes;; Duskstorm does not approve of sappiness. xD Also, she has a crush on Bignose. music;; Love, Save the Empty - Erin McCarley (fits Duskstorm in an odd way, Speckledfur I s'pose too) [bg=ede9cb][atrb=width,469,true] [atrb=border,0,true]
