Warriors: Escape the Lake, A Warriors roleplay

[Caveykittens]

You're sitting on the Island where the Gatherings are, a cold wind ruffling your fur. A strong, foul smell hits you as you lift your paw to lick it, and almost as soon as it hits you, you notice some Twolegs run across the tree-bridge. You draw breath to yowl a warning to the Clans, but the others have already noticed. The leaders jump down from the tree, shrieking orders as the Twolegs come closer, one with a shiny forepaw. As the cats scatter, horror grips you as the Twoleg swings the shiny forepaw, and slams it into the tree. As soon as the tree has fallen, numbness falls over you, and you let out a cry. This means that StarClan cannot support the Lake any more. Suddenly an odd feeling comes over you. You blink, finding yourself in StarClan's hunting grounds, and a chant murmurs to you: The Lake will be gone and no cats will belong. Eight will lead to a place, a place of survival. You shake yourself out of StarClan and dash across the bridge as the Twolegs begin to chop down the remaining trees.

The Storyline:

The four Clans (RiverClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, ThunderClan) have lived by the Lake for seasons, but the Twolegs are building new Thunderpaths, and the four Clans must unite to stop the death of the Clans - and journey to a new home.

What might happen:

In Dawn, several cats were captured by Twolegs, which I will allow. However, I must apply some rules to getting captured.
1. Kits, leaders, medicine cats without mentored apprentices and queens cannot be captured. If a medicine cat with a fully taught apprentice gets captured, the apprentice takes over.
2. The cats do not get killed.
3. Any trapped cat cannot magically bang their cage open and find their way home. They are not SuperCat, and therefore cannot bite or slam open their cage.

The Cats:

Note: If your cat is captured, I will put an asterisk (*) by their name to indicate they are not able to serve their Clan. You may only have two cats per Clan and only one of your cats is allowed to be captured. If your cat is part of the prophecy, they will have a ; by their name.

Have fun!

((I don't see a form so...

Username: Sky
Cat's Name: Silentfur
Clan: ThunderClan
Position: Warrior
Appearance: Silentfur is a tortoiseshell she-cat with white paws. Her body is lithe and compact. Her gait is healthy and graceful. Silentfur has amber eyes.
Personality: Unlike her name suggests, Silentfur is far from silent. She is outspoken about her beliefs and she seeks to do what is morally right to the Warrior Code. Silentfur is also known for her determination and compassion to others.
Kin: Dawnfur (Mother) and Whitewhiskers (Father)
History: When Silentfur was birthed, she was close to death like her other siblings. But miraculously, she survived, unlike her other littermates. But for a long while, she was quiet and shy, hence the first part of her name, Silent. She grew out of that quiet stage when she became an apprentice and Redheart befriended her. They were the best of friends until he died when a monster ran him over.
Mate: She doesn't have one at the moment.
Other: N/A))

[Caveykittens]

Oops! *facepalm* I forgot to post a form...but I'm blonde, is that a good enough excuse? Anyway, you're accepted, Sky. Also, are Dawnfur and Whitewhiskers dead?

[Sky]

((No. I was thinking of using them as NP characters for whenever Silentfur needed to talk to them.))

[Caveykittens]

Alright, and you don't have to speak in parenthesis until we start the roleplay xD

[Sky]

Okay!^^

[Caveykittens]

*kicks table leg* Okay, should we just start the roleplay now, Sky, and let others join? I think we could fill in some NPCs, that we play until there are more people...because I'm bored and I haven't roleplayed for months.

[Sky]

Okay! I'm fine with that!

[Caveykittens]

YEAH *runs onto wall and ends up on ceiling* Oops. I'm lowering myself down now because you didn't see that... xD

Alright, let's start.

~WindClan~
Willowflight saw Frozenkit tumbling around the camp. She purred happily, then turned and headed out of the camp. Her paws were itching to hunt, and she kept quite still. Suddenly she sat up in a panic. The lake was turning to no more than a molecule, and the rivers weren't flowing. The trees began to topple and she let out a shriek as the island was reduced to dust. She turned to flee as the mud underneath her gave way and she pelted over the hills until the ground was gone and she was back on the moorland. She stood up and padded back to camp.

~RiverClan~
Hollyfrost opened her eyes to find herself in a webbed cube and she suddenly remembered what had happened. She had been hunting with Cinderpaw and had ran too fast. The medicine cat apprentice had tripped over a reed root and skidded into the cube thing, and it slammed shut as Cinderpaw had dashed for help. But the Twolegs had taken her before Cinderpaw could get back and she was stuck in this foul place. She lifted her one black paw as she balanced on the other gray-and-white ones, giving it a lick, then curling up on the web and trying to sleep.

~ShadowClan~
Dreamwish laid on her side, purring at her swollen belly thick with white fur. She stood up, gave herself a shake, then fell back into the moss as she began panting - she realized she was kitting. "Get the medicine cat!" she mewed to the other queens as one got up and pelted away.

[Sky]

Silentfur let out a purr as she lazily stretched in the small expanse of grass by the lake. Today had seemed a lazy day for all of the clans. RiverClan cats could be seen swimming casually in the water. WindClan cats had been running around all day, laughing and purring. Even ShadowClan seemed lax today. Silentfur loved it. It was never often that the clans got peace nowadays. Twolegs, more often thaan usual, had been coming down and inspecting the lake. Once or twice, they had set up green pelts and stayed for the night. It had been nearly impossible to collect water without being spot. But today, there were no twolegs or twoleg pelts. StarClan must be favoring them... She glanced around to see that a silvery butterfly had landed on a flower sitting next to her. It almost glowed in the bright rays of the sun. Silentfur reached out a paw lazily and scooped it up with only one hooked claw. The butterfly wisely didn't flutter because otherwise, it would have a neatly shredded wing. After becoming bored of the fragile creature, Silentfur let it go and it drifted out into the lake, the clear, blue lake. She drifted back into a state of nonchalance. But then suddenly, the ground began to shake. Silentfur let out a yowl and jumped up. The hair on her neck was standing. She looked around wildly, trying to see if she could find a source in the shaking of the ground... There seemingly was none. She looked back out to the lake and saw something strange. The silver butterfly wasn't flying around the lake anymore... Instead, a silvery cat stood in its place. Silvermist. Silvermist was their beloved medicine cat who had died in a fire last year. She had been sorely missed, especially by Wildflower, Silvermist's sister. Silentfur was sure that the young she-cat had never recovered after her sister's death. She glanced towards the deceased cat to see that she was staring at the island, the island where the gatherings were held. It was collapsing. A claw of fear raked her heart. She watched as their beloved meeting place slowly crumbled. Silentfur yowled once more, but Silvermist didn't hear her. The dead medicine cat was instead, staring at the lake sadly. And Silentfur understood why... The lake was drying up. It evaporated and evaporated until nothing was left. A cry of grief escaped her. What was going on? You will lead to safety. Silvermist's melodic voice filled her ears and a dry sob raked her body. What was that supposed to mean? CRASH! A tree from the forest had fallen, only a foxlength away from her tail. Silentfur began to run... She began to run hard. And then suddenly, she woke up. A dead cat's voice still haunted her ears. You will lead to safety.

[Kokay]

Username: Kokay
Cat's Name: Swiftwind
Clan: WindClan
Position: Deputy
Appearance: Swiftwind
Personality: Swiftwind is a selfless cat. He thinks only for the other cats in his Clan and always has. As an apprentice, he was the model apprentice, excelling at all parts of being a warrior. He has a very humble personality, but keeps to himself. Though well-liked in the Clan, there are few that he truly likes himself. Swiftwind would rather spend his time alone, but when his Clan needs him, he can be more courageous than the strongest ThunderClan warrior
Kin: Gingerfur (father) Dawneyes (mother) Jaywing (brother) Mudtail (sister) other siblings that are unlisted had either died or left the Clans
History: Swiftwind had an uneventful childhood. He obeyed all he was told. When his mentor allowed him free time, he spent it training to be stronger. The young tom excelled physically and was incredibly charismatic. Perhaps, more so than the leader herself.
Mate: None yet, looking actively

Cat's Name: Coldstar
Clan: WindClan
Position: Leader
Appearance: Coldstar
Personality: Coldstar is a cat's cat. She does what she can when she can, but if it requires extra work, she will stop. She likes to make empty promises, leaving Swiftwind to fulfill her promises. Coldstar is ambitious and has, on more than one occasion, suggested an unprovoked attack on the other Clans for land. Now more than ever, she wants to attack them.
Kin: Bramblefur (brother) Grovepelt (brother) Fernfoot (sister) Nighttail (brother)
History: Coldstar was never what Swiftwind is. She gained her spot as Deputy through underhanded means. She threatened other cats, with the aide of her brothers and sister. In the end, she has proven a corrupt leader, but few cats are willing to show this or stand up to her. Her siblings are strong and help her every choice.
Mate: Deceased

((I can haz dead Leader?))

((Alright, you two are accepted. And people, can we have more captured cats? Hollyfrost would like some cats to talk to...xD))

~WindClan~
Willowflight decided to do some solo hunting after she woke up. She stretched lazily in the camp, her golden pelt shining in the sunhigh. She left camp, then picked up the scent of a rabbit. She tore after it, her pelt rippling from her strength. Suddenly she skidded to a halt - she had reached the border. That's one rabbit that I could've gotten if I hadn't been thinking of that scene in my mind, the golden she-cat thought angrily. As she walked through the sandy moorland, her paws began burning from the greenleaf heat, and she decided to cool them. She pelted toward the lake, the water washing over her paws. Suddenly the mud began sucking at her paws, the island was beginning to turn to rubble, the lake drying to the thickness of a leaf. She let out a cry as the mud began to lap at her back - Wait! What's Ripplesplash doing here? Ripplesplash had been the medicine cat before the flood had crashed through the moor, and his body had been found laying under a thick layer of mud. Ripplesplash hauled her out and murmured, 'You will lead to safety.' As the medicine cat's image wavered like a haze, Willowflight rushed away, over the moors. She blinked and found the water lapping at her belly.

~RiverClan~
Hollyfrost awoke in the Twoleg meshed thing, her heart pounding. There was no cat here except her. She silently crushed the Twoleg food between her teeth, shaking her head as she lapped at the muddy-looking water.

History: To be RP'd
Mate: N/A
Other: N/A))

Shaken, Silentfur got out of her nest, disturbed by her dream... What did it mean? Why had Silvermist come and talk to her of all cats? She should have gone to their leader or the medicine cat, not her, a lowly warrior! She kicked some dirt in frustration. She didn't know what to do, but she wanted to do SOMETHING. You will lead to safety... The voice was back again. She sighed and began to pad out of the camp. She needed to go to the lake, the place where it all began.

[Kokay]

((Oh, Swiftwind was supposed to be captured, I did forget to mention that, sorry.))

[Caveykittens]

((I set Swiftwind to captured. And it's alright. Thanks for making captured cats, guys!))

~WindClan~
Willowflight licked her golden glistening paw, then drew it over her ear. She needed to think, think about why she had had such vivid visions. She shook herself and padded down the bank of the lake, the water sloshing at her paws. Why is this such a big deal? Is this going to be the Great Journey all over again? I've heard that nursery tale several times as a kit, but to have me make it? That's crazy! Staying within two fox-lengths of the lake, she padded into ThunderClan territory. Maybe she could talk to a rival Clanmate.

[Kokay]

Coldstar

The Leader of WindClan lay sunning. Around her, her brothers Grovepelt and Nighttail. There were too many angry cats. Ever since Swiftwind hadn't returned from his hunting patrol, things had gotten hostile. Many cats suspected that she had arranged something. Honestly, she wished she had, but the Twolegs had beaten her to it. Or, she assumed it was Twolegs. No cat really knew. Even if she told them the truth, it would just start another argument that would have to be ended with brute force. If the other Clans heard of the unruliness of her Clan, it would all be over.

Swiftwind

The light brown tom shifted in his sleep. What an awful nightmare. He had dreamt of dogs attacking his Clan. The yowls of fear and pain were still alive in his mind. As he woke, he realized that he was far more groggy than he normally was. It was strange. He shook his head, forcing himself to wake up faster. He was in a cage. The memories rushed back. He'd been taken by Twolegs. The cold metal was biting into his paws. He scowled darkly at the food and looked around. "Hello?! Is anyone else out there?" He yowled.

[Sky]

-Tigerpaw-

A purr escaped his throat as Honeywhiskers smoothed down his fur. Even though sometimes Tigerpaw was embarrassed by his mother's protectiveness, he had to admit that sometimes his mother was great at a lot of things, cleaning fur being one of them... Maybe Honeywhiskers and he could go hunt together later that afternoon.

Tigerpaw awoke to a blaring light... He was still in that metal twoleg contraption. His paws ached for the soft undergrowth in ThunderClan. His mouth watered for a nice, juicy vole... Quit it Tigerpaw. Longing for something you can't have isn't going to make your situation better. Just try to see who else is here. "Hello?"

[Caveykittens]

~WindClan~
Willowflight thought back to the Gathering, and suddenly a memory swept over her.
The RiverClan leader paced up on the tree. "We have had a cat go missing," they had meowed. "Hollyfrost. Does any cat know where she is?" Willowflight jumped up and began running. Swiftwind had gone missing when he had gone to hunt...maybe she could find him! She raced toward a few trees, then skidded to a halt with a cry. Monsters! She saw something webbed, but a monster blocked her view, tearing out a tree. She noticed mice darting around in terror, and a feeling of dread churned in her stomach. She crept closer to the webbed thing and sniffed it, and she caught a whiff of Swiftwind. She set a paw inside, then another, and another, and another. She swept her tail to her side and gave another sniff.
BANG!
The door slammed shut and she was left in utter blackness.

~RiverClan~
"Who's that?" Hollyfrost mewed loudly, scrambling to her paws and hitting her nose in the process. Licking it, she called out again. "It's Hollyfrost! I'm the RiverClan medicine cat apprentice!" She heard another cat call out. "Can anyone hear me!?" she cried in desperation.

[Kokay]

Swiftwind

"Hollyfrost?!" He was horrified. The Twolegs were taking Apprentices too! He was angry, but kept his voice calm. No need to frighten the other cat. "I'm Swiftwind. Didn't I meet you at the Gathering? What do you remember? I can't remember much of anything. I fell asleep," He lied. He hadn't fallen asleep. The pulsating pain behind his ear told him that much. He'd hit his head some how and had lost consciousness in the thick of it all. "I'll think of a way to get us out of here, but I need you to stay calm while we think this through, okay?"
