Stranger

'A tree stump!' Denpi called through the grass, as he jumped on top of it, the wind ruffling his fur. Talos was right behind him, and scrambled up on top of the stump. 'AND, we found it ourselves! It's the tallest one out of all the ones our tribe found so far!' Asti said triumphantly. Denpi was about to reply, when suddenly a bearyena crashed through the bushes, roaring loudly, and it clawed Talos and threw him of the stump. Talos lay motionless in the grass, the only sign he was still alive was his shaky breathing. 'No!' Asti yelled, and threw himself at the bearyena. Denpi ran over to Talos, trying to get him to stay awake. Rage fueled Asti, and in two hits the bearyena was down. 'Talos!' he cried, running over to his brother. Talos was barely awake, his breathing ragged. 'The healing plant we found earlier! Get him to that, quickly!' Denpi reminded. Asti picked up his little brother onto his back, and ran in the direction of the plant, but he heard something following them. It wasn't Denpi, it sounded too large. His mind came to the horrifying realization that there were two bearyenas. He found the healing plant and dropped Talos in front of it. 'Eat it Talos, quickly!' Asti whipped around to face the bearyena and started to battle with it. He felt the bearyenas claws rake against him but he didn't care. Talos limped over to the plant and took a small bite. A strange sensation came over him, almost like he was floating for a second. Then he passed out. 'Are you two alright?!' Denpi panted as he finally caught up. 'We're fine' Asti smiled as he hugged his little brother. Talos was grinning as well, the bearyena dead at their paws. He mewed happily and ran up to Denpi, giving him a hug.

Tilt looked unhappily down at the kit in front of her. It had frog legs, sickly yellow fur, and a horribly crooked paw. 'Wait here for a moment' she said awkwardly. The kit mewed and tried to snuggle up to her, but she got stiffly out of the nest and looked up at the skies. No birds. For now. 'Wait here' she repeated, before leaving to find a rabbit. What would she do? The kit was so horribly weak, it was against tribe law to keep it. She was pretty sure the tribe would banish the kit the moment it grew into an adult. As she pondered, she stayed out for longer than she thought she would. The sun was setting when she returned, anxiously calling out for her child. 'Where are you? Please come out!' she cried, but no answer came. A sharp cry came from above her, an eagle circling overhead. There was blood dripping from its beak. 'NO!' Tilt cried, rage suddenly filling her. She tried to scramble up onto a high rock and launch herself at the bird, but it wheeled away before she could hit it. She gazed angrily up at the sky, when a sudden emptiness filled her. She lay down and curled herself up into a ball, sobbing quietly. Arjuna only found her a day later. Wiisp launched himself at the walrus deer, clawing across its side. Firecracker leapt in front of it blocking its path. 'Attack it from behind!' Arjuna yelled, and Tilt leaped forward, clawing it from behind, jumping back as it tried to kick her. They fought as a team, until the great beast stumbled, and fell. 'We'll have enough food for many moons to come!' Wiisp declared happily. He called the rest of the tribe over, and that night they all ate until their stomachs were almost bursting.

'Come on, hurry up! Ugh, you're so slow' Asti complained as his little brother struggled to keep up behind him. Talos gave out a small mew as he caught up with Asti, but didn't say a thing. 'You can't even talk! You're literally 7 moons old and yet you still can't talk. I was able to speak when I was half your age.' Asti grumbled. 'Give him time, I'm sure he' ll be able to talk soon. He's my age, and I can talk. Besides he understands every word your saying, don't you Talos? ' Denpi asked as he leaped down from a large rock. Talos nodded and ran up to his friend, mewing happily. ' Whatever.' Asti rolled his eyes, but he was secretly glad that Denpi was here. Sure, he was really quiet, almost exactly like aunt Firecracker, but Talos liked him and as much as Asti didn't like to admit it, he was fond of Denpi too. 'Come on you two, let's go explore ahead, maybe we'll find something cool' Asti grinned. The other two teens followed closely behind him.

A bit further away, the sounds of two newborn kits chased the rain away. Two happy mothers sat in their nests, gazing down at their little bundles of fur. 'He' ll be called Denpi. ' Firecracker smiled.' He'll grow to be a fine hunter. ' 'This little one will be called Talos, after our god of bravery. Asti, come meet your little brother!' Tristi called to her son. Asti plodded over and looked down at his little brother. He leaned in and sniffed Talos, before looking up at his mother. 'Mum, he smells' Asti wrinkled his snout. 'Is he really my little brother?' 'Yes he is. And you must promise me to always look after him, do you understand?' Tristi smiled. 'Alright mum.' Asti gazed dejectedly down at the small pile of fur.

(also, she's pregnant because a rogue male got to her :/)

Arjuna and Tilt padded through the long grasses, rain wetting their fur. Suddenly, through the grass another iceblock loomed. 'There could be another cat trapped inside it!' Arjuna explained, rushing over to try and tip the block over, so it would shatter. 'It could be someone from my old tribe!' Tilt said excitedly, running over to help her friend. With a large crash the boulder tipped over, and a dark furred kit lay there, unconscious. Tilt immediately ran to it, but before she could reach it, something threw itself at her, sinking its claws into her. She screamed in pain, and immediately Arjuna threw himself at the bearyena, knocking it to the ground. The two of them made short work of it, and as Tilt lay panting for a moment, she remembered. THE KIT. But it was too late, a cry of fear came from the sky as an eagle carried it off. Tilt strained her eyes and tried to run after the eagle, but she couldn't see anything through the lashing rain. Arjuna caught up with her and put his tail around her cold body. 'I'm so sorry...' He said softly. 'I should have been more careful.' Tilt cried, staring up at the sky 'I'm sorry!' she called out to the sky, knowing that the kit was already dead.

Firecracker and Wiisp had been hunting ahead of the tribe for a few days. Firecracker leapt on an unsuspecting rabbit and bit into it until it died. 'You're a very talented hunter' Wiisp smiled shyly. Firecracker didn't reply, she only smiled back. (Ok I don't want to write another romantic confession, so basically they became mates) Meanwhile, Tristi was settled in her nest, a small kit curled up beside her. 'He's beatiful' smiled Nasif, looking down at his son. 'We should call him Asti' Tristi thought out loud. 'Asti it is then!'

Oop rip 💀

Np! It's going pretty good so far

They had been on the island for a few moons now and everyone except Arjuna and Tilt had grown into adults. 'Just ask him about it' Firecracker smiled. 'The worst that can happen is he'll say no' 'I know Firecracker, it's just... I'm really nervous that's all' Tristi said softly. 'You got this, go ask him' Firecracker replied gently but firmly, giving her a small shove in Nasifs direction. 'Uh, Nasif?' 'Yeah Tristi?' Nasif smiled in her direction. 'I, I was wondering if... Could you be my mate? I care about you so much Nasif' Nasif looked surprised, but a broad grin spread across his face. 'Of course Tristi'

(This is a playthrough of @AndromedaTheGalaxyCat's tooth and claw challenge. Also I only remembered like halfway through that I wasn't allowed to dig up roots, I'm sORRY I FORGOT PLEASE FORGIVE ME. Also this playthrough won't have a main goal, I'll just be seeing how long can I survive. But anyway :)) Wiisp was the last to reach the island. He heard the rocks behind him crumbling into the sea, and the chatter of his friends in front of him. Their old island was a savanna, but it had burned all summer long. His old tribe was stubborn, and they wouldn't leave, so Wiisp and his friends decided to find a better, colder island than the sweltering heat they grew up in. 'Whoaa..' Firecracker whispered, shivering slightly from the cold. 'There's still some white stuff left on the snow!' she marveled. 'Its called frost! Grandma used to tell me stories of the colder lands' Nasif explained. 'Dunno why it's so cold though'. 'We need to find somewhere to get out of this wind.' Tristi decided and led the others forward. 'I'll find a den! I'm better at it than you!' Nasif called behind him, as he bounded forward. 'Ugh' Tristi complained, but she was hiding a smile as the brown cat ran ahead. Nasif pushed through the undergrowth, but instead of finding a den, a huge boulder of ice greeted him. He thought he saw something inside, and pressed himself closer to the freezing ice. Apparently, the boulder was a lot less solid than it appeared to be. It fell apart, and left a kit curled up in the rubble. 'Is it dead?...' Nasif asked himself, approaching it tentatively. But the kit shivered and opened its eyes. 'Are you hurt?' he asked it, concern in his voice, as he curled his tail around the poor thing. 'I-I don't t-think so..' she whispered back. 'M-my tribe, w-where are they?' 'Uh, they're not here right now, but I'm sure we'll find them' Nasif tried to give a comforting smile. The kit only shivered and curled further into him. The small tribe pushed forward through the snows, and slowly Tilt formed a friendship with Arjuna.

(Waburn??? Idk lol)

That's good to hear, glad you're alright

(That's fine, I didn't know what to do either lmao) Derry smiled over at the others. 'Yeah well I did all the work you idiots, so you should be thanking me.' He grinned his chest puffing up. (since the war is over I guess that means the rp is over? If so that means we just leave this topic alone)

'That was a helpful comment' Derry sulked. The sounds of the tropic isle inhabitants were coming closer.

'Let's lose them in the forest!' Derry yelled, leaping in front of Auburn leading the way into the thickets. A minute passed of them running, but the tropic isle inhabitants were still on their tail. 'Auburn? My friend?' Derry asked quietly. 'I have no idea where we're going.'

(Don't be sorry, timezones happen, its literally 9:30 over here) 'Ahh!' Derry yelped, and immediately followed Auburn. 'Wait, so I wasted my wish by teleporting up to the beach?! COME ON ARE YOU SERIOUS!' He yelled angrily. (OHNO HE SAID THE DAMN WORD I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE :((((( /j)

@spookycake

(wait did you actually draw this just for the snickers joke, I admire you lmao)

(I think we should wait until Andromeda comes online because I have no idea how to continue this. The herself is very edible)

(Okay so I've had an account for a little while but I totally had no idea this introduction thing was even here so uh super late introduction I guess) Hi, I'm Your Local Stranger, but you can call me stranger. I really like roleplaying and making art (though it's hard to get motivation sometimes) and maybe i'll make a playthrough one day. (one day I promise okay I promise)

'I don't know, I thought you'd know or something' he shrugged. 'We should ask Auburn, or wave maybe' (HAVE A YOURSELF. I don't know what I meant by that please forgive me /j)

'What's so funny?!' he glared at her. Then he suddenly remembered about the diamond, went and picked it up. 'Well, what are we supposed to do with this again?' he asked anala, his voice slightly muffled by the gem in his mouth. (ANALA, YOU'RE NOT YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY, HAVE A SNICKERS!)

'Hey, hey, hey calm down, your gonna make my ears hurt with all that shouting. And maybe I could always teleport and you just never knew' he puffed up his chest and smiled smugly. 'Its probably because the diamond thought I was good enough and granted me super powers though. Here I'll try and teleport again'. He looked over at the trees nearby and concentrated really hard. Nothing happened. 'I can do it, just give me a second' he grumbled.

'Hey' he grinned up at her, coughing slightly. 'Can I ask a question? Because what the heck was that.'
