[Littlecloud]

For Flowerfur:

Uhm, h-hi, Flowerfur. First things, first, I would just like to say that I... well... I really admire how you're handling the tensions in ThunderClan. I do not have to be in the forest to feel the static rising, and I sense it on Grayleaf every half-moon. I really think you're doing a marvelous job and I pray to our ancestors your efforts will be enough to keep the approaching storm at bay. That said... I have a... a personal question. And I hope you don't mind my asking it... and! And if you do, that's totally fine! P-please, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, really! I don't want to offend you or make you think about things that... ohhhh, I shouldn't. You don't have to answer... but... well. *cringes* If it weren't for your duty, if it weren't for StarClan's forbidding... would you have ever considered becoming a queen? Have you ever wanted kittens of your own, even though you know... you know... it's not allowed? *cringe cringe cringe* Totally not a question that I relate to or anything, oh Starclan help me I'm a fool~

[Flowerfur]

"Oh, hello! You must be Littlecloud, I've heard so much about you. Thank you for the compliment, and I am trying my best, but I only hope it will work. *sigh* As to your question, well, yes. I love kits, and would love to be a mother. I still have some of that desire, I suppose. The reason I never had kits before I became deputy, however, is because I never found the right cat for me."

^{"And sweetheart, I know that's a personal question for a reason. I don't know who you're loving, dear, but I'd say to leave that bit to StarClan. As much as I'd love to, I can't solve all of your problems. Good luck."}

[Littlecloud]

For Flowerfur, from Littlecloud:

If it means anything, I just know you would have made a wonderful mother. Your clanmates are very fortunate to have you as their future leader. Please, I pray you'll excuse another personal question... but, you said you could never find the right cat? Well... I don't know... was there someone? Ever? Was there ever a time in your life where you thought you might have found him o-or h-her...? How... how do you know if you've found the right one?

^{Oh, and is Elmstar grumpy all the time? Does he lighten up at home, in the forest?}

For Minnowpelt, from Littlecloud:

I have always imagined swimming to be absolutely terrifying. But I hear it told that you are nearing phenomenal in the water. What do you think of, when you're swimming?

For Nightpelt, from Frosttalon:

Do you.. heh... deal to cats outside of your clan? *eyebrow raise*

For Nightpelt, from Elmstar:

Does it not bother you that you've rendered your clan and its warriors a bunch of hallucinating idiots with little work ethic and shattered stability? A clan needs focused warriors, strong in body and mind, to defend their borders and feed their elders and queens. Not a bunch of sniveling, spaced airheads who can't tell the sky from the earth. What do your ancestors say of your repulsive business? How will you feel when the day comes that WindClan can not defend itself because its warriors are hooked on mind-altering herbs?

For Lucy Ellen, from Alliser:

Lucy, what would be your ideal birthday and what is your fondest memory of one?

For Stormheart, from Littlecloud:

How are you feeling today? Have you been sleeping well? What do you dream of, my love? Have you been to WindClan territory and walked the moors? If so, is it as pretty as I imagined? Have you been accosted by any clan cats as of yet? Oh, will you please promise to be careful, Stormheart? I worry...

[Flowerfur]

"Thank you, your words mean a lot. And dear, you can ask as many questions as you like, I'll tell you if you step too far. Yes, I couldn't find the right cat. I never courted. The toms that approached me simply didn't... live up to my standards, I guess. But then again, I only considered the ones that asked. Hmm. I don't remember having feelings for anyone, to answer your question. As for if you've found the right one, I think you'll know when it happens. Only your own heart can tell you who it's meant to be with, dear."

^{"Elmstar is a grumpy cat. He is always a grumpy cat. He never stops being a grumpy cat. I'd wonder if he had a functional heart, but he loves his Clan, and the well-being of most. That's good enough for me, I guess. But no. He doesn't ever really 'lighten up.'"}

[Minnowpelt]

"Ooh! Swimming! Water! I really like the water. It's like... it's like... flying? Kind of, but not really. You aren't bound to the floor and can go up or down, and the water is like getting hugged from aaaaaall around! All I have to do is move a little aaaand I rocket through the air -- I mean water. It feels like air, kind of. When I go through the water, it's like getting a tongue bath. When I stay there, it's like being held and hugged. And underwater is sooooo pretty! There are all these glowy things and colourful things! Oh, but you wouldn't know what things look like. Um, glowy is like warm, and colourful is like, uh, slippery."

"I love swimming! It's the best!"

[Nightpelt]

"To the RiverClan man-slut, no." *spits* "I'm not dealing out hallucinogenics to you."


~


"To the oh-so-lovely ThunderClan leader, it's not all my fault! The medicine cat before me was the one with all the fancy hallucinogenics, and one day a warrior experienced it along with his pain medication, and then they all wanted it, but my brilliant and capable mentor was so drugged up all the time that I... I was scared! I'm not exactly the strongest cat, y'know! So all of these "focused warriors" decided to round up on the little medicine cat apprentice because he knows where the stuff is to make you feel warm and safe and see all the pretty butterflies!"

*deep breaths*

"I haven't rendered anyone to anything. I'm trying to fix the situation, for StarClan's sake! I didn't get my mentor addicted. I didn't decide to store all these stupid hallucinogenics. What StarClan says to me is only your business if it involves ThunderClan's safety, which it doesn't. And if I have to trust my life to all these druggies, well, I'm going to be in a Dark Forest of pain! I didn't want this. I still don't want this. But I'm a weak cat, and I don't have the power alone to stop the airheads that make up my Clan from destroying their lives. And if that means I'm barricaded from StarClan for this, for not wanting for things to happen yet not being able to do anything, that's not a StarClan I'd ever want to see."

[Stormpaw]

"Oh, Littlecloud. I'm feeling well. My sleep has been better than usual; no nightmares lately. I was dreaming of... Stonepaw. Of blood and bone. You were thankfully absent from those dreams. These nights, I dream of walking the forests like a ghost, unnoticed and invisible. It sounds like it should be uncomfortable, but it's really rather peaceful."

"Yes, I have been to WindClan. Littlecloud, it's... Littlecloud, it's beautiful. I ran into a cat there, but he wasn't hostile. I've managed to avoid most of the other patrols. And I will always be careful, Littlecloud, I swear. I must stay safe if I'm going to see you again, right? You stay safe, too. Promise."

[Mama Oak]

Flowerfur, I'm sorry to ask you so many questions, but I've another one. How do you feel about becoming leader of ThunderClan? Quite obviously you are a more than capable feline for the job, but... how do you feel about it? What did you think when Elmstar chose you as his deputy? Did you ever consider... refusing? Did it ever feel... I don't know... unfair to have that responsibility dumped upon your shoulders?

Minnowpelt, you little cutie patoot (smile), do you have a best friend? If so, tell me about him or her! What is the happiest day you can remember?

[Cluster]

"Hmm. Nobody's ever actually asked that of me before... whether or not I want to be leader one day. I... I've thought it about myself, to be honest. At first, I was... I was terrified. Why did Elmstar see me, of all cats, to be fit to be leader? I was just a warrior, one who loved her Clan. There were so many others vying for attention...

"But lately I've realized that I've adapted to my new responsibilities quite well, and that cats listen to me without complaint. Some say that they always knew I would be deputy, even though I never thought I would be. It's funny, but I was always going to serve ThunderClan. I try to ignore it, lately; I'm still just another member of ThunderClan, I'm just giving out orders now, from a slightly higher perch. That makes me no better than any other.

"I'm sorry, was that an okay response? I fear I've lost the question as I talked. Oh, and ask me as many as you like, dear! You're a pleasure to talk with."




"Um, a best friend? Every cat is my best friend! My dad is closest to me, though. He calls me his chickadee. Every other cat is also super friendly, and they take care of me and make sure I don't hurt myself, which is nice of them! Mom didn't used to like it when they treated me that way, because she said it "made me look like I was less of a cat", but I like attention!"

"The happiest day I can ever remember was the day I learned how to swim! I was super, super scared at first, because it was all swirly and was sooo different from the ground, but I wanted to make my mom proud, so I got in, and it was so cool! Well, not cool, because the water was warm! And it carried me around a bit, and it was like a hug. I hadn't had a hug for a while, so I liked that a lot! And I got to swim a looong time! And then I went home and ate some things and talked to my mom about it and she said she was 'very proud of me!' That was the best day EVER!"

[Littlecloud]

Hey, Stormheart?  I was sort of... uhm, on this weird... well, I don't really know what it was, hehheh... but... someone asked me a question, and I don't think... that it will be gone from my mind, until I relay the inquiry to you. I was asked *nervous laugh*, this is silly, but... I was asked whether or not I would have kittens, granted that it was not against the Warrior Code. I said yes, but then thought that well... what of you? What do you think of kittens? Of being a father? Is that... something you'd ever want, even though that's something I could never grant you? Does that sadden you at all? Hyde... you are sort of peculiar. Oh! But in a, a v-very wonderful and interesting way. In no way whatsoever was that an insult, please, it was the furthest thing from an insult. I swear it wasn't.  But I understand that you have some... powers. My knowledge of that is not even a simple grasp, but I'm curious...? Can you... make yourself into a cat? If so, have you ever done that before? Or any other animal? If not, would you want to? What animal would you want to be, and why that animal specifically? What do you think of us? The cats and the clans? How big is the world? I have a feeling you could tell me that. What color are your eyes? The eyes of your best friend? What is your favorite color? Your favorite scent? When you think of your favorite color, in your head... what does it feel like? What does it smell like?

[Stormpaw]

"W-well, that is a question."
*nervous cough*
"Hold on a moment while I think about that."

*long pause*

"... Yeah, I think I'd like kits. It'd have to be after the whole thing with Rackham settled down, because this isn't yet a forest in which I'd like to raise any kits. I'm not sure what kind of father I'd be, but... I think I'd like to try. Yeah, I guess I kind of wish we could have kits, and it makes me a little sad, but I'm happy enough that you love me that I can let that go."
