camp i indulge in luxury .. kitten spat

—————————————————【 skyclan kit | 3mo | emptypilled 】————————————————

【◈】Muscles tighten beneath a kit-fluffed pelt as limbs kick and march across the dusty clearing. Ivory claws no sharper than brittle thistle scrape across the earth while an expression so daunting weighs on the she-kits maw. A grizzled warrior has etched itself on a face just baring its third moon, two of which spent in the warmth of kittypet luxury. It has no home to such a naive, undeveloped mind, no less the words that sputter from her lips.

"CANDORFLIGHT OF SKYCLAN!" Little lungs burst with hot air as her chin has tilted up to endless blue, for even the stars to hear her yowl. "You have betrayed your Clan. Our medicine cat is dead- from your paws! So sharply does her head snap down to rest her gaze on the mottled form of @HOLLYKIT, who has carefully lied still between herself and @CANDORKIT. Sloppy work of crushed berries stain the soft cream fur around Hollykit's belly, turning to a pink-tinged mess but could be deciphered as the 'killing blow' to the pretender.

"Before the eyes of StarClan, I decree you suspect of her dreadful murder! How do you plead?" Jellykit could practically hear the roar of yowls in support of her outcry. In her eyes a darkness rolling over the sky in thick clouds as their very ancestors announce their displeasure to this murderer. She waited, breath held back in her throat, for the betrayer to speak.

To say Candorkit wasn't expecting it would be... not totally true. No, he did not step outside the nursery today, specifically in-specting to be a-costed by Jellykit, called Candorflight, and accused of murder, but at the same time, as soon as the role is given to him, he grasps it eagerly. Candorflight steps into the scene as easily as a warrior of his caliber should, with big paws and strong shoulders. Round eyes immediately sharpen. Candorflight anticipates a cry for help, a call to lead... But... murder?

Candorflight is aghast. Red ears fly to the back of his skull, offended by what allegations he has been so readily met with. This shock is both in character and out of character, for... Candorkit has never played a bad guy before.

...And that was just it, he realizes. He was no bad guy! Jellyclaw— noble as he may be— was sorely mistaken! Candorflight dare snot let any sign of weakness overtake his form, for he was as innocent as he believed himself to be. " She was my sister! " he yowls back with equal amounts of zeal, nearly knocking himself off his own feet, with the way his voice carries. " How dare you! A suspect I may be, but guilty, I tell you, I am far from! "

He takes a bold step forward, verdant hues issuing a challenge with naught but his gaze. " Tell me, Jellyclaw, is it mere co— coin— co - in - ci - dense, that Hollynose is dead at your paws?" Another step. " Mayhaps — You are quick to blame, so that the ah—alli... gations will be off of your back! "​

❀ . ° ✦ The passion, the fire, the drama! Peachpaw lay close by, watching the most horrible betrayal from Candorkit. She gasped, killing his own sister, and they were so close too. Poor Hollykit! The beloved medicine cat was taken too soon. Oh, but perhaps she was mistaken rooting for the wrong cat. With the fire in her brother’s eyes, he won’t just let himself be wrongly accused… It seems Jellykit didn’t cover his tracks well enough. Who really killed Hollykit?

Peachpaw was content enjoying the show from the sidelines; the kits were up to their usual shenanigans. Normally about silly things, but a murder scene with two suspects? Oh, she wasn’t missing this ending. The apprentice’s tail swung from side to side. It was very suspicious that Jellykit was quick to name the victim’s killer as her brother.

Spicepaw arrived in SkyClan well into her assumed apprenticehood, and as such didn't get to spend her kitten days playing warrior-games. She's seen the kittens of the nursery play it in passing, however her venture to not be made inept hardly affords her time to sit and watch the show. Today, however, she's given a break by the kindly graces of her mentor (Momowhisker isn't ever unkind, however she does find him oftentimes as anxious as she is. Their combined frazzled nerves bring about a whole different nonzero issue,) and she decides to tuck in next to Peachpaw and watch the kittens play.

"Hey," she greets the other softly, uncertainty lacing her voice. "Who... um... who do you think did it?" she asks the other, whispering as if they're watching a theatre show. ​

 

[BEETLEBACK]

"I'm surprised that kit can even say allegations," he mutters aloud to himself. There's no denying he's entertained in many ways by Candorkit and Jellykit, but it genuinely surprises him that they can say such big words. What're in the squirrels an birds we've been feeding 'em? I don't even think I could say such a fancy word as a kit. Yeesh where's this kit getting it from? Pushing his surprise aside, he can't help but insert himself in the kits game. No one said he couldn't join them, right? I mean sure, he could've garnered that hey, let the kits do their thing and watch, but that was BORING!

And so with dramatic flair he enters the scene, "A judgement quickly passed perhaps, but there is no one else, no witness who could say otherwise! The murderer could be anyone of you." A sly grin warps his features as he circles around the pair. "Hollynose may have been your sister Candorflight, but how can we trust you did not kill her out of envy? Some cats are able to kill their own blood, so how can we be so sure you wouldn't?" Maybe it's not the best thing to tell such a young mind that there cats who have killed their own blood. After all, he's one of them.

I'm questioning Candorkit too much lets start going after Jellykit now. Ohhh this is gonna be too much fun! And he makes good on that promise by slithering to Jellyclaw. Coldness overtakes his features as he looms over Jellyclaw. "Now tell me Jellyclaw, what are you hiding? Was it you who sunk your claws into our medicine cat? Why else would she be dead at your paws? Are you trying to pin the blame on Candorflight here? Try as you may, the stars will know the truth and seek justice."

 

[HOLLYPAW]

𓆩 ♕ 𓆪　The murder victim lies, perfectly posed, between the two quarreling warriors. A storm is brewing overhead, and here upon the ground lies the crushed flesh of bright red berries. Blood stains the pelt of poor, innocent Hollynose. How tragic an end, killed too soon and with no clear culprit to be brought to justice. He breathes as quietly as he can, lets the arguing voices of the other kits wash over him.

There is no StarClan here to declare a victor, merely two cats accusing one another of the most treacherous crime. She itches to join in, yet remains perfectly still. And yet... What more perfect way to spot the culprit than the voice of the murder victim herself? Her ear twitches.

And suddenly the murder victim's eyes shoot open, paw coming to his bloodied chest. Her head lifts. "Gasp... Hollynose lives!" A final twist, with all the drama it deserves. Yet how could she turn against her brother - or her friend? She injects a soft rasp into her voice as she continues, weary and injured. "For only a few heartbeats more... And with my final breath I tell you... It is... cough... hack... a trick!" The word stretches long, silence pulling out. The air hangs tense, the skies are still as the stars themselves await the true answer.

"Candorflight... Jellyclaw... Both are innocent," she declares. But how can this be? More and more intrigue bleeds its way into this horrible crime. "Someone seeks to turn you against eachother... But... who?" Her eyes dart to Beetleback: he's the easiest culprit, since he's already joined in... But it'd be no fun if she just said it.

And Hollynose's head falls back to the soft earth with a final dying breath. Her eyes slip closed once again. "Blehhhhhh..." comes the soft sound of the life fading from the bloodied cat's body. A most noble medicine cat has died today - but will the true culprit be caught?

【◈】The shock, the pause, the weary face Candorflight bore the moment her words spill- for a moment Jellyclaw believed she had righteously served justice. The thunderous yowls ceased the moment Candorflight spoke his defense and her muscles stilled with careful listening. Their viewers, her Clanmates, were ghosts to her at the moment. A vivid imagination painted a scene of churning grey skies and powerful winds that fought in every direction.

Candorflight's defense spoke to his familial connection, and the pointed molly scoffed. "As if there's never been a crime of passion before." Jellyclaw countered, but then his accusation is turned- onto HER! An offended gasp burst through her muzzle, a white mitted paw raised to her chest as her ears flicker backwards. The storm clouds continue to roll and rumble and now she can feel all the winds might against her face.

"Pre... preposterous!" She exclaimed. "What evidence do you possess? Bring it forth! I dare." One of the ghosts has come to life, playing both sides to get one of them to spill. Jellyclaw regarded him suspiciously through narrowed eyes, carefully keeping her maw shut. She did not have to answer to this peon- nor anyone!

In a moment, a miracle has blessed this event with Hollynose returning to life. At once the world feels as though it has stopped in motion. The wind had ceased, even the clouds pause for Hollynose's voice to be heard. He declared her and Candorflight innocent, and the fire of justice is quenched, just for a moment. Warmth returned to chocolate sights as she gazed down and Candorflight and nodded, an acceptance of his innocence, and now turned to Beetleback with the seething rage she bore just before.

"Hollynose has sacrificed her final moments so we may conquer this moment and return to peace. It has come at a cost, however..." Jellyclaw hopped down from the stone she stood on and pressed her nose to Hollynose's cheek, her fur now cold. "Candorflight, forgive me for my foolishness. Let's join our forces together, and take down the TRUE killer!" Beetleback now possessed her attention, with bared teeth and unsheathed claws.

[CANDORPAW]

A small crowd has gathered... and why would it not! For this... skeptical was one for the ages! For the greats! One that stories would be passed down to gener-ations about! Candorkit stands there, hackles rised towards Jellyclaw, for the in-justice that has taken place... is ammends! Their standoff is then interrupted by a warrior ... which they all were, obviously ... entering the frey. The murderer could've been anyone, they proclaim, and Candorflight is taken aback, left to face them with such a look of shock and betrayal, paw held to his chest. " I... I wouldn't... I couldn't! " he gasps.

But then the... narra-tive is sent flying back to Jellyclaw, and Candorflight is following it keenly with narrowed eyes... But then ... !!!

Hollynose wakes once again with a dying message on his tongue! Naturally, of course, Candorflight rushes to him, concern drawn clear as day on his face... A final message, a prophecy, even... It's a trick! The gasp Candorflight lets out is bold and tear - jerking. Candorflight... Jellyclaw... Both are innocent. A look of wide - eyed shock lifts to his advice-ary, or perhaps, former advice-ary...? Someone seeks to turn you against each other... Oh, and how easily they'd been fooled... " B-but who...? " he half - wails his question, and before Hollynose can utter an answer, she is gone once again...

Candorflight falls to the ground, gaze saved for nothing but the stars... Jaws part in a heart - broken wail, " NOOOOOOOOOOOO...! " Tears fall... ( Not really, because he doesn't know how to make himself do that, but Jellyclaw would understand )

In this moments... he locks eyes with Jellyclaw. His dear friend, whom he has let the... throws of grief intercept his view of... A nod is exchanged. "...Please, forgive me as well, dear friend. Briefly, I... I lost sight... " mournfully, he sniffs. It seemed Jellyclaw already had a culprit in mind, and with fangs bared, he too would turn on Beetleback. " Yes, let's! " He would roar a roar of LionClan as he turned to gather his Clanmates. " We will make sure... this never happens again! "​
