camp ALMOST FANTASY | (retro) patrol return

disclaimer: this takes place after THIS THREAD and is pre-fire!

Slateheart returns straight back to camp after their walk to the ThunderClan border, a patrol that had gone fruitless and strange. He spots Sunstar within camp and makes his way over, giving a short nod to his patrol; they can either follow, or spend the rest of their day as they wish. He, however, has.. news to report.

"Sunstar," the black-furred warrior greets, curt and expectant with only a small dip of his head to greet the golden leader. "I have an unusual report." The last patrol he had been on, under Firefang's lead, they spotted the Twolegs digging their holes on WindClan's territory. Today, he had spotted another Twoleg, searching up and down the path as if searching for something. He remembers hearing of an increase in Twoleg activity last newleaf, particularly around their own creations, but never before had he seen them so close; he wonders if such is a coincidence..

"There was a.. Twoleg, on the path we share with ThunderClan. It seemed to be searching for something." He could not discern a Twoleg's strange actions, but this was the closest assumption of its' behaviors that he came to. "It blocked our way. For our safety, the border was left unmarked, but.. ThunderClan was present, but unseen. It seems they were just as wary."

Slateheart's maw is set into a perplexed frown, brows furrowed. What was with all this activity; what were they planning? Was he the only one to encounter such a sighting?

Slateheart and his patrol's quick return, not to mention his need to report to Sunstar right away, gives Dimmingsun an odd feeling. An unusual report, he says, and the golden-furred tom inches closer to the two so he can hear if it's anything like his own patrol's experience. His gaze washes over the returning cats for the fifth time in the past hour. Unusual activity always sets him off edge, and it's almost like he's scared his Clanmates are going to vanish one by one if he's not paying enough attention.

"If I may," he says, dipping his head in respect and apology — he knows he barely gave Slateheart enough of a moment to finish his report, and Sunstar hasn't even responded yet, but he feels it's important to do so right now. "We spotted something very similar on our patrol as well. A couple of Twolegs were conversing amongst themselves by the Thunderpath... we managed to leave our scent, as close by as we could, although ShadowClan didn't give us any trouble."

Dimmingsun meets Slateheart's eyes, as if the answers to not one but two strange encounters are hidden within those greens. "I assume you didn't see your Twoleg finding what it was looking for?"

It would seem as if her patrol wasn't the only one who had run into strange twoleg activity that day. Alarmed, she listens as Dimmingsun and Slateheart give their reports, her black-tipped ear flicking as talk of twoleg's goes about. At least her patrol had not encountered any of the beasts but... "There was something strange going on by horseplace too" she concedes, her features pulled into a thin, worried, line. color=#B6CCFE]"There were all these huge monsters, with big paws at the end of them. They were digging I think.... There's a huge scar in the earth that runs from horizon to horizon"[/color] she explains.

The memory makes her shudder, the fact that the twolegs could do such a thing spoke of the power they held over the natural world. Power that no one being should have, she thinks. The fact that they could change things so easily... She doesn't like this, any of it. Nothing good ever came out of things when twolegs were involved.
