Camp Defended Moon 19
The fox turned around and ran away. Good thing, too, I don't want to kill another. As Fernstar spun around to get back in the fray, she spotted something light brown sticking up from the ground. She paused, and when she looked closely she could just barely make out a light brown cat huddled in a hole. Curiosity shone in its eyes. She wondered if she should speak to the cat, but as it saw her looking at it, its eyes sparked with fear, and it jumped out of the hole and darted away.
That's when she recognized it as the kit she had saved from the hawk.
(ignore the rogue male that Redfish chased off)
An opportunistic hawk hovered above, but Lightkit would protect his friend no matter what. They huddled against the nursery wall, Lightkit covering Stonekit and fluffing themself up to look bigger than they were. The hawk circled a couple times, but then thought better of it and flew away.
Maybe I'll be made an apprentice now! Wait till Fernstar hears about this!
His mother was now screaming so he didn't want to tell her about it now...maybe later when she stopped screaming...if she stopped screaming.
Rootclaw barely noticed his many injuries as he raked his claws down the fox's side. Its friend had latched onto his leg, but soon he heard a yelp behind him and it let go.
He dug his hind legs in to prevent the fox from shaking him off.
Fernstar slammed into the fox as it pinned Turtlemist. She did it with such force that a sickening crack occured, and the fox fell limp to the ground. Shaking, Fernstar slowly stood. I did it again, it's dead.
"You did what you had to do," said Redfish gently.
"That's the last of them! We defended our camp!" said Rootclaw proudly, oblivious, before noticing Fernstar's demeanor, "What's wrong?"
"It's just...I didn't mean to kill them," said Fernstar.
"You had to," said Rootclaw, "to defend Turtlemist and the kits. It nearly got into the nursery, there was no other way."
Fernstar sat there for a minute, silent, and then she said, "You're right. There wasn't. But now we must not waste the meat. We are struggling to catch prey at the moment."
"Eat a fox?" said Turtlemist, obviously disgusted.
"Yes," said Fernstar bristling, "Unless you'd rather let the kits starve. Shiningsun needs enough milk to feed them."
Turtlemist didn't say anything more.
"Divide up the carcass," she told Rootclaw, and to Redfish she said, "go check on the other carcass."
To her dismay, he reported back, "The remaining foxes are eating it!"
"The vermin! They don't even respect their own! We should chase them off and eat it ourselves," Rootclaw suggested.
"It might contain diseases though," cautioned Turtlemist, overhearing the conversation.
"Then let them have it. If they think it right to eat their own, who are we to judge them?" She pictured the starving foxes they had fought to keep out of their camp. We've taken their prey and kept them from eating us, so I'm not taking away their last chance of survival, however grizzly it may be.

The Foxes Moon 19
Fernstar rushed after Rootclaw, her mind racing. Hopefully after a few scratches and bites the foxes would turn tail and run. Foxes weren't usually the kind to stick around if they couldn't get an easy meal.
But when she saw them fighting with such desperation, their skin clinging to their bones, she knew it wouldn't be an easy fight. They had been stopped at the camp entrance by Snowbridge and Redfish, but one was already attempting to dart past Snowbridge into camp.
Fernstar jumped on it and sank her teeth into its neck. It tried to shake her off, but with no success. She raked her claws down its back and it whimpered, its shaking growing weaker. She then let go of its neck and slid off it's back. She expected it to go running the other way.
Instead it limped forward, eyes shining with determination. She had no choice but to attack again. She pulled its tail and it yelped, but tried to rush forward into camp. She jumped on its back again and raked its sides. It whimpered and attempted to snap at her, but it couldn't reach her. Then it crumpled to the ground. She jumped off immediately, looking around to see if one of her clan mates needed help, but Snowbridge was handling a fox fine on her own, Redfish was chasing one off...and for the moment she saw no others.
She turned back to the fox and saw its eyes had clouded over. It's dead, I killed it. She felt a peculiar grief and guilt. It wasn't another cat, and it had been determined to kill a kit, but she felt like taking its life had somehow been wrong. She noted that never before had she had to kill a predator, only chase them off... But this fox couldn't be deterred. It was desperate, it was starving. It and its clan.
She realized for the first time that their arrival here had taken up prey that had been the foxes before. This had probably been their territory. We've been eating their food, starving them.
She heard a yowl of victory. Then Redfish came back into view, "That fox won't be coming back any time soon!"
Fernstar nodded solemnly.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.
She pointed to the carcass next to her.
"Oh...it is an odd thing to kill a predator," he said sympathetically, "I had to do it once before."
"Thanks Redfish," she said, "what would I do without you?"
Her deputy nodded and gave her shoulder a quick lick before launching back into the fray.
"But I'm old enough to be an apprentice!" protested Lightkit, "Why can't I help fight the foxes?"
"You haven't been made an apprentice yet," scolded Turtlemist, "if you attack the foxes in spite of that, you may never be made one!"
"Really?" asked Stonekit with wide eyes.
"No, fur-brain, they can't do that!" Lightkit told the younger kit.
"Be patient Lightkit, you'll be made an apprentice soon enough," purred a very pregnant Shiningsun, "in the mean time, you must listen to me. And I say you can't fight the foxes. You have no training, you can't battle without battle training to assist you."
"But I want-"
Suddenly, Shiningsun let out a gasp and then a groan, grimacing. Her bedding got soaked. Lightkit gazed at the scene in horror, "Mom?!"
"She'll be alright," said Turtlemist, "I'll take care of her. You two wait- play in the corner."
Just when they thought the battle was won more foxes rushed out of the darkness. A couple of them ran right past the fighting cats into camp.
Redfish leapt at one and clawed its face.
At first, Snowdrift thought the red pelt she had seen between the white pelts of the foxes was Redfish or Fernstar, but then she realized the cat wasn't fighting the foxes. It was gazing at her in a way that creeped her out.
She shuddered and ran toward Fernstar and Redfish.
(so uh pretend this doesn't happen atm I had to do it to protect Snowbridge from rogue male)
Redfish assured Snowbridge everything was going to be alright and went to look for the strange tom that had stared at her. He didn't have to go far, because he was following Snowbridge! He felt a spark of rage and jealousy in his chest. They didn't have time to deal with rogues right now! He charged at the rogue.
The rogue looked surprised, and he turned and fled. Good. I hope you never come back!

The Bait Moon 19
Fernstar had ordered Rootclaw to be on guard duty that morning.
So Redfish and Snowbridge went on hunting patrol together. Redfish was nervous. Snowbridge had been avoiding him for the past week, and the strange cat had not appeared to him again. He longed to twin their tails together and purr at eachother like Fernstar and Rootclaw did, but he knew that she could very well reject him. And if she did he couldn't blame her. He was approaching elder age. He would be in many ways a burden to her.
Yet he also remembered well the last time he had feelings like this. He had never confessed to the she-cat, being so nervous and not knowing what to do, and she had died. He couldn't let that happen again! But other times he realized that HE was the one who would die first. If she loved him it would hurt much the same way he had hurt. Maybe if he never confessed she would never have feelings for him and she wouldn't get hurt. But what if she did and she was hiding hers too? Then she would be hurt like he had been! There were no easy answers...
A mouse scurried away as he absentmindedly walked along, bringing him back to the present.
Snowbridge tried to catch up to it, but it made it to the rocks and disappeared from view, "Tadpoles!" she exclaimed. It was an expression like mouse dung that only Snowbridge used.
"I-I'm sorry," stuttered Redfish, embarrassed, "I should've payed attention."
"I-it's a-alright," she seemed embarrassed too, "what were you thinking about?"
His heart beat fast, I want to tell her but I don't want to tell her. He stood there looking stupid.
"I-s everything...alright?"
"Yeah it's just..." I love you but I'm afraid to tell you.
She padded up to him and licked his shoulder. Then she sat next to him, "What do you want to tell me?"
"No-nothing!" he said, jumping back.
She looked confused and hurt.
"I-I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to hurt you," he said, almost in a whisper.
She stood there, looking unsure.
Suddenly, a flash of white caught his eye. Instinctively he chased after it, and within a matter of seconds he caught up and killed the rabbit with a swift bite.
He brought it back and put it at Snowbridge's feet, "For you."
"Shouldn't we bring this back to camp?" she asked.
He blushed and averted his gaze, "Oh, right."
Suddenly she was next to him, his tail twined with his, "I don't want the silly rabbit. I want you."
For a minute he couldn't speak, then he purred, "I want you too." And I don't need that strange cat to get you, because you love me anyways.
They sat there for a few minutes, purring and grooming eachother.
Until....
"MOMMA!" a shrill cry broke the peaceful scene.
"Did you hear that?" said an alarmed Snowbridge, jumping up.
"Yes I-"
"MOMMA!" the yell came again, louder.
Redfish got to his feet, "Let's go see what it is."
They walked toward the cries which kept coming until they spotted a little brown form huddled on the mountain rock.
"MOMMA!" it mewled. It was a tiny kit calling for it's mother.
Fernstar was surprised when she saw Redfish and Snowbridge. "It's cries carried that far?"
"Yes," said Snowbridge.
"Gather your prey and head back to camp. Me and Rootclaw will see what we can do to help the poor thing," ordered Fernstar.
Once they had gone she cautiously padded toward the kit, "Hello little one-"
"DANGER!" screamed the kit, and it scurried away as fast as a mouse.
Rootclaw tried to block the kit's path but it scurried down toward the beach instead.
"Don't scare the poor thing!" she growled at her mate, amazed at his rashness.
"I'm sorry," he replied, guiltily, "I thought I could slow it down so you could pick it up."
She sighed, "it's alright, let's try again."
Just then, she heard a deafening screech in the sky. "Hawk!" yelled Rootclaw.
Fernstar rushed forward with all her speed and strength, and leaped toward the kit. Miraculously reaching them, she covered the kit with her body.
He squeaked in fear and squirmed underneath her, trying to get away, she flattened herself further against the ground, trapping the kit for its own good.
After what seemed like forever, Rootclaw called the coast clear. Cautiously, Fernstar got up, ready to grab the kit.
But the kit scratched her muzzle with needle claws and scurried away. Frustrated, Fernstar was still about to try again when Rootclaw ran up to her panting, "There's foxes attacking the camp!"
(Meanwhile, Lightkit has grown and is protecting his younger playmate Stonekit from the hawk)

Could I do something like this? It will be in a different habitat with different Nichlings, but it will be recorded kinda like how your doing it!
I'm not @mhiahia but I think it's alright since Lizardcake and I are doing one (or something similar) and many others have done so in the past when this first became a thing.
Also u don't have to but u could adopt some nichelings from here to start you off:
ANd feel free to submit nichelings to here too or just discuss your programme or other's programmes. It's not just for my programme to adopt out nichelings, it is for everyobody's programme!

Here are the profiles (complete with DNA sample analysis) of the young adult creatures born in our Savanna Exploration and Experimentation Plan that we have deemed not completely suited for the task of exploring and examining the creatures of the Burning Savanna where we are currently stationed.
If unclaimed, some may go to zoos, others may remain at the Burning Savanna regardless as the transition from wild to zoo life wouldn't suit them.
@HOLD THE MAYONNAISE and anyone else who has rehabilitation or observation programmes or run a zoo are welcome to claim nichelings as well. Please only claim 3 or less to start to give others the chance to claim some of them. Thank you.
Here is our most prolific breeding pair so far!
This unlikely pairing has developed into a regular mateship and even romance (you can see the rogue male has only mated with Drone 2!). They have 4 children, 3 of which are ready to go to their new homes.
Meisel is the eldest. She is adventurous and bold. She is the most independent of her siblings, though she is responsible for watching the younger ones sometimes. As a child she was threatened by a bearyena but through the efforts of her mother, her mother's best friend, and her father she was not even attacked. The incident hasn't made her timid, rather she will defend anyone she loves with great gusto.
Best suited to a rehabilitation programme, observation programme (where she is apart of the nichelings being observed), or the being kept on the island she is now
Age: newly gemmed adult +7 (10 in my game but urs probably has longer lifespans)
Tame is second eldest. She was threatened by a bearyena as a child and attacked by that bearyena as a teenager. She is thus timid and cautious. She looks up to her older sister Meisel, but has an unbreakable bond with her younger sister Komira. She will fight to defend her younger sister, despite her timid nature. She is worried about her sister's illness and looks after her because of it. Is adventurous and loves to explore with Komira or Meisel.
Whoever takes her must take her sister Komira with her as well, she would be devastated and confused if separated from her.
Best suited to an observation programme, rehabilitation programme, or a zoo.
Age: Newly gemmed+4 days
She was never threatened by a bearyena like her siblings, but she is threatened by the sickness she was born with. She has an inferiority complex. She loves and looks up to her bigger sister Tame. She feels her parents don't love her. She is adventurous when around Tame, but timid all other times.
Whoever takes her must take Tame as well.
Because of her sickness she will have the longest life expectancy in a zoo, though it may be possible to cure it at least temporarily to give her a better chance in the wild.
Age: Newly Gemmed+1 day
The other nichelings ready to be released into the wild are the offspring of a wanderer.
(dad's genes)
Drone 7 fell in love with this wanderer and was the first to have children with him. These are her children:
The youngest of her mother's children thus far. Rais is fairly sedentary and wants to settle down and start a family. She also likes to stock up on food. She isn't the best at gathering it herself, but she is good at managing resources.
Best suited to a rehabilitation programme or a zoo
Age: Newly gemmed adult
Memi is the eldest child of her mother. She has a strong relationship with her and her father. But she also is adventurous. She likes to hunt. She is kinda naive.
Best suited to a rehabilitation programme, an observation programme, or staying on the island she's on.
Age: Newly gemmed adult+1 day
Drone 8 was less sure about breeding with a wanderer but she wanted some children so she gave it a shot. She nested in a tree.
She had twins!
She has a close bond with her twin Elme. They are adventurous and get into all sorts of trouble together. She is the follower of the two, though she disagrees with her sister on plenty! Lara likes to hunt. Naïve.
Would prefer that she and Elme stay together.
Best suited for anything except a zoo
Age: Newly Gemmed Adult
Has a close bond with her twin Lara. She is the unofficial leader and leads them into trouble a lot. She likes to fight and dreams of killing a bearyena. Rash and quick to rush into things.
Would prefer that she and Lara stay together.
Best suited for anything except a zoo (though she might cause some problems wherever she goes!)
Age: Newly Gemmed Adult

Feel free to post any nichelings from your own rehabilitation, observation, or experimentation playthroughs or zoos (either playthroughs or threads of nichelings from your own programmes that have been taken out of them or from this or other exchanges) or those you wish to gift to one of the above.
Try and RP that u have ur own programme the nicheling is from even if you don't.
Once a nicheling has been adopted/used please do not use that same nicheling yourself. There should only be one person using a nicheling at a time (cannon wise anyways).
You may only claim up to 3 nichelings per day to give others a chance to claim them.
Provide some personality to your nichelings when you submit them if you can. You must provide the genes of the nicheling or at least a screenshot of them. A drawing with genes drawn/written might be sufficient.
You may post requests looking for nichelings for your programmes or experiments or zoos.
You can submit in any way you like, but as a guideline here is a form you may alter:
Picture/genes
Name (optional if in the screenshot, including their number if they have one)
Background (optional)
Personality (may be combined with background)
Names/screenshots of parents (optional, you may put this first and then list all the offspring from that pair you are offering for adoption)
What would be the ideal situation for them (zoo, rehabilitation programme, staying on their home island, etc)
Age (since different people have different age settings, it may be best to say middle-aged adult, or teen+ (days past turning a teen))
Relationships (optional)
Anything else relevant that you can think of!

(My answer is way more complicated......)
So basically, there would be different versions of multiplayer. Public servers where anyone could join and its practical chaos IMEANWHAT (maybe there could be moderators of it that work for the Stray Fawn company)
Semi-public where anyone can join but there is an owner and they can ban ppl and moderate
and Private where only those invited by the owner/with the passkey can join
Oh and Local where you play on the same device and pass it back and forth
Each player would have their own tribe.
The tribes would sorta function/interact with eachother like this:
Although tribe relations would probably be decided by the game (attacking members of a tribe decreases/gives negative relations, trade and treaties increases/makes positive relations) or both players (through treaties/react buttons or chat?) instead of just kept track of for lore/rp like in single player.
Also if u wanted to invite a player from another tribe the person who owned that tribe would have to agree (though there may be a small chance of the creature rebelling and joining your tribe anyways). And you'd be able to trade something they want for new members of your tribe as explained in the above-linked post, so that would have a much higher chance of succeeding.
Each tribe would have their own symbol/name that would appear in place or next to the animal name so you know which tribe you would be interacting with.
The owner of the server gets to decide how many nichelings people who join can start with, whether they have to be wanderers or members of other tribes, or whether you can spawn in starting creatures for your tribe, (and if so whether they will have random genes or genes of the new player's choosing). In Private and Local games the owner can make this different for each player (because it is likely they know you and you set up the world for a purpose), in Public and Semi-public servers this wouldn't be the case (to prevent unfairness).
Treaties would probably work by interacting with a member of the tribe and pressing a "treaty button" and pulling up a treaty menu in which are treaty options. You can also gift nesting material and food (and maybe nichelings to the tribe as apart of the treaty
I mean there's nothing else to trade in Niche so I guess u can trade slaves). Each side can agree to as many treaty options as they like and then when they both confirm the treaty is sent to both of them saying what concessions they give up and get (for example, Tribe A won't attack Tribe B's nichelings. Tribe B agrees to move territories. Whether a treaty has been kept can be verified by the game or by players who agreed to it. Or maybe some things the game can verify (like whether tribe A attacked a nicheling of Tribe B) and other things are too difficult and must be verified by the players (like whether Tribe B actually moved territories). Of course this may be too complicated so this could be simplified or done away with.And yeah, that's about it.

I SAID I WILL UPDATE IT LATER I DIDN'T SAY HOW MUCH LATER >:D
but don't worry I'll update today or tomorrow (oof stupid homework)
well, I think, tribal stage. it's quick but enternaining nonetheless.
cell stage is too short
creature stage is too long
civilization stage is kinda boring (though I like 'your people are descended from limbless space slugs')
space stage is nice but the beginning is not really good, especially when you did it many times already. it gets better later but it's way too long so it gets boring when you play it for a long time.
P.S. I have space adventures and creepy & cute too

(Ah I understand. My life is busy too
RIP for me not being able to start my RP yet)
